Problemas con el fuente_ISO-COMO
Hola, en dicho howto habla de dos formas para utilizar el lenguaje español correctamente, utilizando unicode o la forma tradicional. Yo me he decantado por la unicode pués me parece la más moderna y la que más buen resultado debe dar (supongo). El problema es que me pide que edite el /etc/rc.d/rc.local (o algún otro script que se ejecute al arrancar) y en la Debian 1.3.1 no existe igual que tampoco no existe otro archivo /etc/rc.d/rc.font (para cargar la fuente unicode). Alguien sabe cual ruta/archivo es el equivalente en Debian 1.3.1? En dicha distribución hay alguna forma más correcta de hacer esto?

Tutor on bit and bitmasks
Hi all, I need some tutoring on bit and bitmasks. I am playing around with the new joystick kernel driver(ver. 1.2.3) and it requires some kernel options to specify the joystick configuration. This is what part of the info file says: ---Documentation/joystick.txt For other joystick types (more axes, hats, and buttons) support you'll need to specify the types either on the kernel command line or on the module command line, when inserting joy-analog.o into the kernel. The parameters are: js_an=p0,m0,n0,p1,m1,n1 ... Where 'p' is the port number, eg. 0x201, which is the standard address. 'm' and 'n' are joystick 0 and joystick 1 bitmasks for the specified joystick port. The bits in the bitmasks mean: Bit | Meaning - 0 | Axis 0 1 | Axis 1 2 | Axis 2 3 | Axis 3 4 | Button 0 5 | Button 1 6 | Button 2 7 | Button 3 8 | CHF Buttons 4 and 5 9 | CHF Hat 0 10 | CHF Hat 1 11 | FCS Hat An example that would confugure the driver to use two two axis, two button joysticks connected to port 0x201, a single four button four axis joystick connected to port 0x202, a four axis, six button and two hat CHF compatible joystick on 0x203, and a two axis four button FCS compatible joystick with a single hat on 0x207: js_an=0x201,0x33,0xcc,0x202,0xff,0x00,0x203,0x7ff,0x00,0x207,0x83f,0x00 -- I need to set bits 0,1,4,5,6,7,11 for port 0x201.

RE: 8 GB limit on cfdisk?
Mark H. Mabry wrote: I'm having a problem partitioning my 9.6 GB harddrive on my Dell P-II 400. This is an EIDE drive. When I use cfdisk, it sees only 8 GB. I believe that this is due to a limit in cfdisk which sets the max number of sectors to 1024. Mine should have 1227 (approx). When I boot Linux it identifies my hard drive and says it has 9.6 GB. Also, when I used Partition Magic to reformat my windoze 95 area, it saw all of my disk. I am running linux 2.0.34, cfdisk 0.8l (from util-linux-2.8), on Debian 1.3.1r8. Is this a program limitation? Is there a workaround? Is there another program for Linux that I could use? Any and all help is much appreciated. Mark Mabry [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1024 is the maximum number of cylinders that may be stored in a partition table entry (10 bits). 1024 is also the maximum cylinder that can addressed using the standard BIOS routines. (With a tranlating BIOS this limits you to 8 GB, with an old BIOS the limit was 504 MB). Fortunately Linux doesn't use the BIOS functions to talk to the disk or use the CYL/HEAD/SECT addresses in the partition table to locate partitions. You can tell Linux that you've got more cylinders with the hd=cyls,heads,sects boot option. (cfdisk will ask the kernel for the disk geometry. You can also tell cfdisk that you've got more than 1024 cylinders with the -c option. See the man page.) Make sure the number of heads and sectors match the numbers used by the BIOS. One note: Since most (all?) boot managers use the BIOS to load the OS, you should make sure the kernel stays under the 8 GB limit by having your root partition lie entirely under the 8 GB limit. (With an old, non- translating BIOS this limit is only 504 MB.) How do you know if you have a translating BIOS? If you can make a partition greater than 504 MB under DOS, you've got one. See the following for detailed info: 1) Large-Disk mini HOWTO 2) cfdisk man page 3) BootPrompt HOWTO for info on hd=cyls,heads,sects Good luck!

Mysterious frequent crashes due to incompetence, lies, and hardware.
Eureka! The problem is solved through the combined application of Drake's, Ted's and Eric's solutions. Eric: You were correct. To my chagrin, there was in fact an NT administrator loose in the building, gnawing at the wires, and telling me lies. He told me, for example, that the three machines in question were _not_ on the same UPS, and that other non-linux machines _were_ on the same UPS as some of the rebooting machines. As I should have suspected immediately, he was lying to cover some more heinous scheme. His evil plan has been exposed, and the people are all following the most excellent path once again. Ted and Drake: You are correct. The reboot time shown in the logs reflects the CMOS clock, as xntpd has not yet taken over. The machines were in fact all rebooting at roughly the same time (believe it or not, one machine really does take 3-5 minutes longer to reboot than do the others). Having realized that, I decided it was time to get my knees dirty and crawl around in the server room. Whaddya know? They were all on the same [faulty] UPS. I'm such an idiot. Many thanks to y'all for your help and patience. Autumn P.S. The intern has accused me of pessimism. He feels that I should call it an IPS, rather than a faulty UPS. Are the machines rebooting simultaneously (i.e. at the same absolute clock times, allowing for system clocks differing), or at quite different absloute times (but with matching inter-reboot intervals)? If the former, consider your power supply. If the latter, then the Society for the Investigation of Paranormal Phenomena would like to hear from you. Best wishes, Ted.

Re: Desperate for Optical Character Recognition
Does anyone know of any OCR software available for Linux? Preferably something that will plug into gimp with SANE and xscanimage - but anything will do, console mode or X - I'm dying never to have to reboot to Windoze again! :). Me too! There is an old project, xocr (located at sunsite under apps/graphics). I don't know how good it is, because I haven't be able to get it to compile. There are evidently some libraries required I don't have. If anyone has gotten xocr compiled let me know, I'd be interested in finding out how you did it. There is another old project, OCRchie at http://http.cs.berkeley.edu/~fateman/kathey/ocrchie.html that is basically the result of a class project. I haven't looked at it yet. There is the startup of a project at http://starship.skyport.net/crew/amk/ocr/, but that doesn't help us any. Another project that looks interesting is SOCR at http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~singlis/ocr/ This is a university supported project to create a GPL'd OCR. It's still in it's infancy, however. The only OCR I've found which is reasonably functional is from the scanshop people (Vividata at www.vividata.com) Their product is called OCRShop and it's built using Caere's Recognition Engine. It does fairly well. The downside is that it is commercial software. Their asking price for it is something like 750.00. Gulp. They do give you a free thirty day trial on it, which I'm currently using. But even with the educational discount (25% off) it's still entirely outside my budget. Heck, I built my last computer for less. It's not a GIMP plugin, of course. What I do is scan in using SANE + GIMP and save as a tiff file. Then I pass the tiff file on to OCRShop. Guess I should get back to scanning and rendering because I've only got three more days left on the trial license... Oh, I did ask them if they consider giving me a significant discount on the software (better to earn 100 than nothing, right?) But they replied that they are under a licensing agreement with Caere which is evidently pretty pricey for them. On the other hand, OCRShop is beta and often, about once per session, chokes on a tiff file and segfaults. It also isn't quite as configurable as one might want--duh, like commercial software ever is... Once I get done with the prospectus for my dissertation I'm going to volunteer to help out with one of the two ongoing GPL projects. If anyone knows of any other projects let me know... There really is a need for a good GPL'd OCR, particularly for academics like myself in the humanities. That's all I've got, Timothy.

LATCP anyone?- an idea
[I tried to send a message like this last night but accidently screwed up...so I apologize if the old version shoots out of my home mail system at some point to this list] Ok...I have been digging around here at work, and we seem to have a problem. All of us techs ocasionally need to fix Terminal server settings on a LAT (terminal server). The problem is that the program we do this with (TSM) is a little screwed. First of all it is on a VAX. Secondly on one of the main VAXs it complains of a Licence issue. Also on the only other VAXmost of us can use, that VAX is on its last legs. My thought: Linux can do so many things...why not talk LAT? I am interested in working on a package to allow a linux box to talk LAT. The problem is that LAT is a DEC proprietary protocol. From what I understand from talking to people, it is not a terribly complex protocol (and its a very old protocol). The main problem is I can't find any documentation on this protocol. DOes anyone know this protocol? Is there any good info on it (I found nothing searching the web)? If no such information is available...could it be possible to log raw ethernet packets (LAT is layered right on top of Ethernet it is its own protocol like IP) and possibly be able to work towards making a filter to filter out uninteresting data? Are there any programs for doing this (as I imagine it is possible)? I know all of this is probably beyond my capabilities...but I figure it can't hurt to investigate and see if something can be done. I would love to find out its possible and make a nice package allowing debian boxes to Speak LAT.

How can this be done? The temporary holder can be our gateway/dns, for example, so that packets already travel through it. Carlos Well, you'll need to modify your MX dns record to point to the new destination - you'll then need to tell the gateway machine that's holding the mail explicitly how to route it, or else the machine holding the mail will try to send it to itself, and mail will get caught in a loop. How to do this depends on what mail software is on your gateway/dns machine. But why bother? If your main server is only going to be down for one or two days, then there shouldn't be any problem in simply not having something to hold the mail - if the sites sending the mail can't get through to your mail server, they'll just hold it until they can get through. Typically, what will happen is that people trying to send mail to your site will only even notice that something's odd if your server is down for three days (in that case, the person who sent the mail will get something from their mail server saying This message has been undeliverable for 3 days; we'll keep trying for another 9 days), and all the mail will get through if your main server is down for less than twelve. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: 8 GB limit on cfdisk?
AR == Richardson,Anthony [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote the following on Wed, 17 Jun 1998 13:52:00 -0400 AR 1024 is the maximum number of cylinders that may be stored in a AR partition table entry (10 bits). 1024 is also the maximum AR cylinder that can addressed using the standard BIOS AR routines. (With a tranlating BIOS this limits you to 8 GB, with AR an old BIOS the limit was 504 MB). Fortunately Linux doesn't use AR the BIOS functions to talk to the disk or use the CYL/HEAD/SECT AR addresses in the partition table to locate partitions. You can AR tell Linux that you've got more cylinders with the AR hd=cyls,heads,sects boot option. (cfdisk will ask the kernel for AR the disk geometry. You can also tell cfdisk that you've got more AR than 1024 cylinders with the -c option. See the man page.) Make AR sure the number of heads and sectors match the numbers used by AR the BIOS. Okay, now we are getting to the meat of the problem. As you say, Linux doesn't use the BIOS functions or C/H/S addresses to locate partitions. That is why the kernel can see all of my disk at boot. So why does cfdisk see only 8 GB? Why doesn't it get its info the same way the kernel does? Why does cfdisk have to ask the BIOS for this info? Good to know about the -c option to cfdisk, I missed that one. Last night I set the cylinders in cfdisk. I had two choice on what to set: C/H/S: 16383/16/63 (what my harddisk label says) or C/H/S: 1229/255/63 (the shifted equivalent. Very close to what cfdisk reported. What Partition Magic reported.) I chose the latter so that my Linux partition might line up with my Win95 partition. But after I had made all my partitions, written the partition table, and rebooted (arghh) so that cfdisk could re-read the partition table, cfdisk would not come up because it said I had a Bad Partition Table. Probably due to my last partition extending beyond the 1023 cylinder boundary. So I tried fdisk and it let me in fine and then allowed me to re-set the cylinder number. I'll try cfdisk -c tonight. AR One note: Since most (all?) boot managers use the BIOS to load AR the OS, you should make sure the kernel stays under the 8 GB AR limit by having your root partition lie entirely under the 8 GB AR limit. (With an old, non- translating BIOS this limit is only AR 504 MB.) How do you know if you have a translating BIOS? If you AR can make a partition greater than 504 MB under DOS, you've got AR one. Thanks, I did this. AR See the following for detailed info: AR 1) Large-Disk mini HOWTO I read this and found it did not explain this problem very well. It seemed geared toward the 504 MB limit. Only under SCSI does it reference the 8 GB problem and there it give no solution.

1021 cylinders(?), 8.4GB, and FreeBSD
I've been trying to add a freebsd to a spare partition, but I'm running into a bit of oddness. I have an 8.4gb maxtor. I have an initial partition of something like 100Mb for /boot, so that it could be boot from. After this partition, I am attempting to put a freebsd. Which is where it gets odd. During starup I get a report of 16k or so cylinders. But when I head into the bios, or fdisk under either bsd or debian, I get a report of 1021 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors. (hmm, that's debian; i think bsd said 999 sectors). The bios offers a couple of options for the geometry of the disk. LSB, normal, and something else. It also notes that some OS's such as SCO require normal; would this be the case for FreeBSD as well? I don't recall changing to the 1021 format, and the sizing of the /boot as well as another long-gone partition was set so that they'd both end up (entirely) within the first 1023. Can I change my disk geometry now? Or will this kill everything? Or is there another way to boot FreeBSD? as near as I can tell, even with the floppy, it wants it's root partition in the first 1023, even when using the boot diskette; and in spite of my alleged geometry, it gives a report of C 1023 exceeded or some such. hmm, I suppose I could put / onto the scsi zip . . . rick Or does someone know another way -- These opinions will not be those of ISU until it pays my retainer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

crypt problems
Greetings, all! A few years ago I downloaded a package called Circlemud from the net and (after much playing around with signal handling routines) got it up and running on a SCO system. A bit more recently, (couple of weeks ago) I again downloaded Circlemud and successfully compiled it on a bo system (with no errors whatsoever). Now, after upgrading to hamm (read that: reinitializing the hd and installing hamm from scratch), attempts to compile Circlemud fail with errors about undefined references to crypt function. My question: what has changed, and what do I need to do to work around it? (I've fiddled with C a bit, but am definitely not a C programmer!) Thanks in advance!

smarthosts and sendmail or whatever
Yes, I can resolve outside names (pinging and netscaping). I'm not familiar with a smarthost. Does that have to do with SMTP or sendmail? Isn't there some other sort of SMTP services I need to be running? (read transcript below) Brian Morgan --- can you resolve names outside greenville.edu (try pinging one or netscaping to one like www.debian.org or sunsite.unc.edu)? are you using a smarthost? --Will Lowe I can now send and receive mail on my Debian box, but only to addresses within our local domain (greenville.edu). It doesn't seem to be sending stuff off-site. Is there a sendmail or SMTP type package that I need to install to get this going right? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

a few more questions
Could you help me with the following: 1. how can I, using Linux and X11 read e-mail from other people who send it to me via my ISP (uses POP) 2. What is a good soundcard which is $40-$50 that works well in Linux and Win95? 3. Does Netscape 4 install correctly under Hamm? I would like to try to install the .deb file containing this program but I know that it is an installer, and when I had BO it complained about not being in some temp dir. What if any, is the special config for this? Thanks Mark Panzer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: a few more questions
The netscape is an installer, yes. What you do is download the 4.05 tar.gz from Netscape and put it in /tmp (owned by root). Then you install the installer package and it will set up Netscape. I use Netscape for my e-mail and have no problems with it. I get about 400-600 e-mails a day. As to a soundcard, I have always liked SoundBlaster and the used ones w/ jumpers work good and are cheap. The plug-n-play ones are also rather easy to config and work fine. I have one of each (in two different systems). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

fvwm2: seems to be reading some hook files twice?
Package: fvwm2 Version: 2.0.46-BETA-3 Severity: normal After a recent upgrade of fvwm2, the window manager seems to be processing at least some of my $HOME/.fvwm2/*.hook files twice. Used to be, the attached main-menu-pre.hook file did the expected thing. Now, the menus I custom-made get doubled up (see the attached X window dumps in PNG format). I am cc'ing this message to debian-user in case I have done something dumb. Also, the BTS's primitive brain cannot comprehend MIME, so this message will have to be manually assigned to the fvwm2 package. -- G.

RE: crypt problems
Ray, Thanks for the information! I added a line in the Makefile for 'libs = -lcrypt' and everything compiled without error.
