RE: Problemas en X-Window con tarjeta AGP
Que tal meu: Una solucion parcial :( para tu problema es que instales las XFree86 3.3.2, pues estas ofrecen soporte para el puerto AGP, así como para algunas tarjetas Leadtek (aunque me parece que no la Winfast 3D S900). Otra opcion sería un driver comercial (Xi Graphics, Metro-X) que si tienen soporte para el i740 de intel. Lo malo de esta segunda opción es que atenta contra tu bolsillo :O KA, Burning Ice -Mensaje original- De: Pedro F. Pareja [EMAIL PROTECTED] Para: lista de Correo Debian Linux debian-user-spanish@lists.debian.org Fecha: jueves, 20 de agosto de 1998 0:35 Asunto: Problemas en X-Window con tarjeta AGP Saludos a los miembros de la lista: Mi ordenador dispone de una tarjeta gráfica Leadtek Winfast 3D S900 con 4 Mb de memoria video. Está equipada con el chip i740 de Intel y es del tipo AGP. Mi problema es que supongo que no existe soporte aún en Linux para hacerla funcionar en Debian 1.3.1 (Linux Actual 1) y ni siquiera a mano puedo configurar las X para que se comporte como una simple VGA a 16 colores y 640x480 pues sistemáticamente me genera un macro-escritorio a una resolución de 300x200 más o menos y en monocolor. ¿Podría alguien indicarme cómo solucionar este problema?

Re: Inclusión de Debian 2.0 en Linux Actual 9/98
Cuanto estarias dispuesto a pagar por una revista (Linux Actual) con CUATRO Cds? - 1500? - 1995 ? - 2250 ? - otra cifra? En principio, por una revista que es bimensual (y por tanto no hay un desembolso semanal o mensual), que trae cuatro CDs, no creo que 2500 pelas sea exagerado. Pero claro, yo quiero Debian 2.0, y eso en principio corre a mi favor. Sin embargo, ya lo he pedido a datom.com, o sea, que lo tendría repe. También hay que pensar que mucha gente usa otras distribuciones, y es probable que no estén demasiado felices pagando esa cifra por lo que les interesa, o sea, la revista y el CD que viene con ella. Mira, no sé cómo funciona exactamente lo de las distribuciones y lo de los resellers (¿en castellano?), pero puestos a hacer los CDs, ¿no podrías montarlo como los de datom.com (u otros) con los de LA? Así evitamos tener que pedirlo fuera de España, y lo podemos hacer en Pesetas. Horacio [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Configuracion de smail.
Hola, como andan... Tengo un pequeno problemita con mi correo en Debian 2.0 Mi direccion de correo real es [EMAIL PROTECTED] Puedo hacer que el correo que salga, cambie el nombre de mi servidor (europa.jupiter.net) por el servidor de mi universidad (correo.javeriana.edu.co). Hasta aqui todo va bien. La cuenta en mi equipo donde recibo el correo de 'ugo_albarello' es 'ugo' (hago el login como 'ugo' por si no quedo claro). El cuento es que cuando envio correo, lo envia como [EMAIL PROTECTED] y, por supuesto, esa no es mi cuenta real, y me rebota un mensaje de que no pudo enviar el correo por 'no-me-acuerdo-que-cosa'. En fin, lo que quiero es que el correo que envio el usuario 'ugo' de mi maquina, salga a nombre de 'ugo_albarello'. Alguien sabe como logro hacer esto? P.D.1. Ya lei la documentacion y, en resumen, no entendi nada. Y no, no quiero usar netscape para componer mail. P.D.2. A Dios gracias existe el OpenSoundSystem para Linux, y funciona de mil maravillas sobre Debian 2.0. Digo que a Dios gracias por que la instalacion de Debian la hice sobre FTP y me ahorre el tener que bajar el gcc (y companeros) y las fuentes del kernel. (bueno... por ahora ;^) ). P.D.3. Sabe alguien donde puedo conseguir los CDs de Debian 2.0 en Colombia? Es que me da como vaina hacer la marranada que alguien dijo por ahi a los de datom (o como se llame) Perdon por la longitud del mail, y muchas gracias por anticipado.

Is there a directory for calling scripts when a laptop awakens/suspends ?
Is there a directory in which scripts in it are called when a laptop goes into wakeup from a suspend mode ? This would be similar to the directory /etc/ppp/ip-up.d, where scripts in it are called when the ppp connection goes up. The reason for asking is that the suspend/awake mode works *very* well with linux with everthing except for my pcmcia network card. I find that whenever I awaken the laptop, to get the network card working I have to '/etc/init.d/./pcmcia restart' - and then everthing is fine. It would be nice if this could be automated - which is why I asked about a directory in which scripts would be called when the laptop awakens. Thanks ! Geoff Brimhall
diald not recognizing a good ppp connection via pppconfig - help !
I have my ppp connection working wonderfully via the package pppconfig. I assumed that I could use the '/usr/bin/pon' command with diald. Here's what happens if I look at diald when it is initiating a connection via looking at /var/log/ppp.log: It starts /usr/bin/pon just fine. This succeeds in connecting. However, when the 'connect-timeout' in diald.conf is reached, dial terminates the script /usr/bin/pon, and then proceeds to terminate the ppp connection. I know that /usr/bin/pon has a good connection because I am hot to the internet inbetween the time the connection is made and diald goes through the silly 'connect-timeout' sequence above. Should the /usr/bin/pon script be outputting something to diald's fifo pipe (like CONNECT) in order for it to recognize a good connection ? Help ? Thanks ! Geoff Brimhall

really-real-root (avoiding alias loop)
Hi, I've got sendmail (8.9.1) running pretty well now (woohoo!) and there are a couple finishing touches I'd like to ask for suggestions with. The first item is email aliases. I want email to root to go to a user, however when I send mail to real-root, I want it to go to the _really_ real-root, not the alias for root, which is what keeps happening. I've tried putting the real-root alias both before and after the root alias and I re-ran newaliases. Any ideas how can I avoid the loop? --

simple server?
i'm pretty confused about some weird behavior i'm seeing with the
socket routines on a couple hamm machines. i've written a simple dumb
server to demonstrate the behavior, and i'll attach it below.
basically, it opens a socket and tries to bind it to a specific port.
the wierd thing is that bind doesn't care if i try to bind to a
privileged port (numbered less than 1024). the same code compiled
and run on a solaris box results in an error generated by the call to
bind() -- with errno set to EACCES, i believe.
the weirdest thing is that the socket doesn't seem to be actually
bound when i run it under linux, regardless of whether or not the port
i try to use is privileged or not. i extended the code to actually
bind to port 23, listen on it, and go into an accept loop. the code
runs to the accept loop without errors, but telnet connections still
seem to go to the right place (i.e. telnetd).
can anyone spot what i'm doing wrong? anyone care to try this on
their hamm box? thanks.

binding bind
Hi, I'm really happy my MTA is working well, now I just want to tweak these last couple details. I'm fairly new to bind, and I notice considreable delays while sending local mail (30s) and remote mail (60s) when I'm not connected to the 'net (my isp's nameservers aren't reachable) which I'd like to reduce to a more reasonable amount, or preferably eliminate. Further, these delays cause my X-win video to not be redrawn, and I can't click anything while this is happening, although I can change to another VT. Is there anyway to deactivate bind when I'm not connected to the 'net? My configuration, derived from bindconfig, is forward-only. My syslog shows named is running, purging it's cached RR's, et.al., and I'm not getting any errors. I see the /var/named/boot.options file, and I've read the /usr/doc/bin/manual/options.html, but alas I'm not sure what param(s) I should set.

CD-RW experiences?
I am thinking about getting a CD-RW drive to archive things, and maybe even to maintain an up-to-date Debian CD set. Does anyone have any experience with these drives? Since I happen to work at Philips, I would most likely be getting one of those models (the 3610, I believe, but I don't work in the optical storage group, so I don't know much about them) if they work. BUT, if someone has found a particular CD-RW drive to work well with their Debian system, I would like to know what would be the best way to go. Or, I could get a CD-R drive, about which there is much more info (I read through the CD-ROM/CD-writing HOWTOs, and a list of compatible drives, but it was mostly CD-R biased). Any info much appreciated. Thanks Dan Hugo

Installing (and using) LiLo on 2nd HD?
Hi, the BIOS of my PC is able to boot from the second HD which is called D by the BIOS and /dev/hdc by Linux. I'd like to use /dev/hdc2 as my root partition and I want to install LiLo on this second HD, booting from it. I don't want to install LiLo on the first HD. Reading LiLo's documentation, I can't find a reason why this shouldn't work (because of the particular BIOS support), but in fact it doesn't. Booting hangs after displaying 'LI'. I already tried to enter the correct disk geometries but it makes no difference. I tried to install LiLo to /dev/hdc and /dev/hdc2, but this doesn't make a difference either. System is installed from the official hamm disks. What can I do to successfully set up LiLo as described above? Or is it really impossible? Thank you, Ulf

Why we love Linux: A helicopter was flying around above Seattle yesterday when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position and course to steer to the airport. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopter's window. The pilot's sign said WHERE AM I? in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign said YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER. The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how the YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER sign helped determine their position. The pilot responded I knew that had to be the MICROSOFT building because, similar to their help-lines, they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer.

Hi Debianizers, I have a friend who has shown some interst in Linux, so I think I might possibly have another convert from the windoze world. Actually, I think the thing that might have sold her on it is the possibility of burning CDs and still being able to use the computer - unlike the windoze world where you have to tip-toe around the computer when it's burning a CD lest you make a coaster! The only question is the one of applications. The idea is that she should still be able to do her homework while CDs are copying. Wordprocessor should be no problem, either KLyx or StarOffice should be more than up to the task (I'll put on KDE, which should make Linux a little easier to use for a first-timer). Does anyone know of a good IDE, something that will have a shallow learning curve from M$ Visual C++, Preferably X based (please don't say 'emacs', I don't want to scare her off too soon!)? Also a spreadsheet-type thing would also be handy. Ability to export to Excel would be a plus, but I guess comma- or tab-delimited would do. Also some CD burning software. I've seen a bit of stuff about, but as I don't have a burning myself, I've never used them personally. It's for a SCSI 4x/6x, with an adaptec PCI SCSI card, so I'm sure the Kernel will have no problem with it. Any recomendations about easy to use (or at least learn) CD Burning programs?

Ken, Debian distribution is packaged as the most secure distribution for Linux. What you can expect with Debian is very paranoid settings for networking as compared with other distributions. You most likely will have to turn on the required services. Some basics: 1) Eye-ball the /etc/inetd.conf file and make sure the appropriate services are activated. 2) Do a 'ps -ax' and make sure '/usr/sbin/inetd' is running. You may have a problem and your system might not start up inetd. 3) As suggested by other members of this list, make sure that you have installed/configured the 'server' version of the service. When you telnet from the new machine, you are using the client version of a service (like ftp or telnet). When you come into the new machine from a remote machine, you are using the server version of the service (on the new machine). 4) You might want to eye-ball the '/etc/hosts' files of the machines for consistancy. The older machines may not know about the new machine.

Off-topic:non-scsi tape backup?
Sorry if this is off-topic, it's just that this list has proven to be so helpful in many areas. Please suggest any alternate news groups that may be better for this question. I've not been receiving the debian-users digest list lately and am reposting this in part to test if this bounces, and to reissue the question. I'd like to get my tape backup working under Linux. I have a connor QIC-3020 Travan tape system. This drive has a separate controler which is connected to an ISA slot. It uses the same IRQ (6) as the floppy and the same DMA channel (2). I believe this is a tape drive which could connect directly to the floppy controler, but I never could get it working that way. My questions are: Is anyone familiar with this type of tape backup system, and has gotten it working under Linux? DoI need the interface card or is it better to run it directly from the floppy controler? I'm not interested in performance (speed) since I'll do backups lat at night. Is this an ftape issue and if so, how do I proceed to configure? Thanx in advance for any help. Regards, Ed Young

Re: CD-RW experiences?

Does anyone have any experience with these drives? Since I happen to work at Philips, I would most likely be getting one of those models (the 3610, I believe, but I don't work in the optical storage group, so I don't know much about them) if they work. BUT, if someone has found a particular CD-RW drive to work well with their Debian system, I would like to know what would be the best way to go. Or, I could get a CD-R drive, about which there is much more info (I read through the CD-ROM/CD-writing HOWTOs, and a list of compatible drives, but it was mostly CD-R biased). Well... I would recommend CD-R for a few reasons: a) price a CD-R disk costs about $1.40 each for me...and thats not even buying in bulk. I have never had a problem with them I hear the CD-RW are more expensive b) Universally Usefull I read about CD-RW correct me if I am wrong but, while the finished disk is the same as a normal CD in how it works...the reflective layer isn't reflective enough to be read by MOST normal CD drives...and thus can really only be used in other CD_RW drives c) I like permamnat storage I like writting data onto a CD and knowing it i sthere... so what if I need a new CD to make a new copy.. thats ok... now I have an old version too... Can never have too much data archived :) besides if worst comes to worst old CDs make nice wall ornaments...and good coasters...they make poor frisbees tho... -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] */ E-mail Bumper Stickers: A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both! honk if you Love Linux

Otherwise, the same will happen as if no ident would be on that machine - ppl would disable connecting to server/channels from the machine, not just form that user. There's so much abuse on IRC, ppl need to have way how to prevent someone from connecting IRC; of course user can move to another provider but that;s still better then nothing. -- Matus fantomas Uhlar, sysadmin at NETLAB+ Kosice, Slovakia BIC coord for *.sk; admin of netlab.irc.sk; co-admin of irc.felk.cvut.cz
