Great, I stick up for you and you turn out to be insulting anyway. What other idiot? The only people that posted in the thread are me, sao, and braindead, but he didn't mention anything about fink.

These forums I like because most people are nice, it's not a flame fest like others; I sincerely hope you reconsider your attitude.

Glanz; allow me to rephrase.

You call someone here an idiot again and you may become our first person to be banned. Am I clear about that? Knock it off or take it someplace else.

Hello,

I've been getting strange errors ever since the crash, and I wonder if anyone knows what they may be related to:

1. I get random "permission denied" while accessing webpages and even checking my mail.

2. When starting up sendmail I get the following error:


Nov 11 14:04:34 alpargata sendmail[391]: restarting /usr/sbin/sendmail due to signal
Nov 11 14:04:35 alpargata sendmail[1898]: starting daemon (8.12.2): SMTP+queueing@01:00:00
Nov 11 14:04:35 alpargata sendmail[1899]: gA80LBMP006070: SYSERR(root): readqf: ./qfgA80LBMP006070: line 1: bad line "0"


I've never seen this error before, and googling it didn't yield anything pertinent. I appreciate any info on how to fix this so that I don't have to reinstall jaguar.


thanks,
V

see entry: 23.3.4 Unknown Control Character in qf File

you may need to delete bogus items from your sendmail queues in /var/spool/

show us:

% mailq -v

Hello,

Uhm... seems that way:


Code:
% mailq -v
                /var/spool/mqueue (1 request)
-----Q-ID----- --Size-- -Priority- ---Q-Time--- --------Sender/Recipient--------
gA80LBMP006070  (no control file)
                Total requests: 1
and everything looks kosher in /var/spool, but:

Code:
ll /var/spool/mqueue/
total 8
drwxr-x---  4 root  wheel  136 Nov 11 15:09 .
drwxr-xr-x  13 root  wheel  442 Sep 25 19:31 ..
-rw-------  1 root  wheel    0 Nov  7 19:27 dfgA80LBMP006070
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  1270 Nov  7 16:21 qfgA80LBMP006070
Are those the offending files? If so, should I just delete them?

Also, I just discovered new errors, now popper is giving me EOF errors:

Code:
Nov 11 11:20:16 hostname /usr/sbin/popper[1715]:
username at address.teleweb.at (IP.IP.IP.IP): -ERR POP EOF or I/O Error
Nov 11 11:20:16 hostname /usr/sbin/popper[1715]: I/O error flushing output to client username
at address.teleweb.at [IP.IP.IP.IP]: Operation not permitted (1)


thanks,
V

yep. yep.

mailq says no control file, but the qf is the control file and the df is the data file. hmm... well, look at the qf file and see what's in it. be curious.

dunno about popper... might be related; anything in /var/spool/clientqueue ?

vonleigh 11-11-2002 07:53 PM
lol, it was spam... how appropriate. Clientmqueue is emtpy (besides a .pid file).

Let's see if this does the trick for popper.



thanks,
V

vonleigh,

Just to let you know, if you want still to reinstall Fink, that I read a post by Max Horn at the 'fink-dev' list saying that they will probably release Fink 0.5.0 in between 1~4 weeks time.


Cheers...

vonleigh 11-11-2002 10:14 PM
Hi sao,

Thanks for the info, but I already did bootstrap fink, can't live without ncftp, fortune and all the rest of the goodies. I haven't reinstalled x though, as I really wasn't using it that much.

I guess I'll get into x after I make my chop box (see coat room for info).
