Colorines
Hola a todos Actualmete estoy migrando de RedHat a Debian y me acabo de encontrar con un problema que no se resolver. En ambas tengo instaladas las X corectamente, y uso el mismo gestor de ventanas (fvwm2), pero en RedHat tengo una paleta de 256 colores y en Debian, no me deja ni cambiar el color del fondo nada mas entrar.Por ejemplo, si intento algo como xsetroot -solid NavyBlue me responde con u lacónico I can't allocate memory for color NavyBlue. No es un problema del XF86config, pues uso el mismo fichero en las dos distribuciones, ni del servidor X, ya que he probado a cambiar el del Debian por un enlace al de la RedHat, y las X funcionan pero no me deja usar más colores. Así, hay un montón de programas que no llegan a arrancar, o bien arrancan y se cierran por falta de colores . ¿Alguien sabe qué demonios pasa? Por cierto, mi tarjeta es una S3 con 1Mb, y en redhat funciona perfectamente a 1024x768 y 256 colores. En el Xf86config sólo tengo definido ese modo de pantalla. -- Un Saludo Han Solo The Rebel Alliance Conecto, luego existo. Desconecto, luego insisto. Soy usuario de infobirria+ P.D.

[...] Hola Javier, No se si esto te servirá, pues yo uso smail y no tengo mucha idea de sendmail, pero hasta hace poco yo tenía el mismo problema. Resulta que al instalar, el script me preguntó que nombres debían ser identificados como el host local (mi máquina) y yo le dije inocentemente que pusiera el nombre de mi ISP, pues no queria que smail ruteara los mensajes que fetchmail le mete por la puerta 25 de vuelta al ISP. Revisando los encabezados me di cuenta que fetchmail edita los encabezados y les inserta su propio segmento de ruteo, como si fuera un MTA cualquiera, y le cambia el dominio por el nombre local de mi máquina antes de meterlos por la puerta 25, por lo tanto smail no necesita ese alias para rutear correctamente los mensajes locales. Edité el /etc/smail/config, en la entrada hostnames=pris,entelchile.net le borré la parte de mi ISP, entelchile.net, y ahora todo anda bien en ese aspecto, puedo mandar mensajes a otros usuarios de mi ISP sin problemas. Ahora, el problema que tengo es otro, por si alguien puede ayudarme en esto, aunque en realidad no me he metido realmente a resolverlo. Resulta que el script de instalación me preguntó también cual sería el nombre visible de mi máquina, y yo obviamente le di el de mi ISP, pues es lo que pone smail después de ls @ en la dirección de retorno de los mensajes. Para mi cuenta en el ISP funciona perfecto ya que pone la dirección de retorno correcta. Pero para mi cuenta del trabajo, en el host del trabajo obviamente, smail sigue poniendo el nombre del ISP en la dirección de retorno, resultando en el mejor de los casos en una dirección de retorno que no existe (espero que este sea el caso) compuesta de mi username en el trabajo y el dominio de mi ISP, y en el peor de los casos en una dirección de otra persona. El ejemplo va en este mensaje que va a salir con esa dirección no existente (espero) Se agradece de antemano cualquier ayuda. Felipe Sánchez [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Servidor X Frame Buffer para S3 Trio3D y otras no soportadas
Hola, Me alegro de haberte podido ayudar. Solo una pregunta: Has conseguido mas de 256 colores? Yo lo he intentando pero cuando meto mas de 256 no me arranca el servidor X. Lo curioso es que el nucleo no me da ningun error y me activa la resolucion elegida (eso si, no se con cuantos colores).

Re: Colorines
Hola, Creo que tu problema es que al parecer la debian 2.0 instala una serie de iconos con muchos colores (mas de 256) con lo que acaba con el numero disponible de colores para los otros programas. Si este es el problema puedes comprobarlo quitando (comentando) todas las lineas que hagan referencia a directorios de inconos en el XF86Config. Veras como ahora puedes cambiar de color de fondo. La solucion que a mi se me ocurre es usar un modo con mas colores. Por ejemplo 800x600 con 16M colores.

RE: sendmail y genericstable ¿cómo?
Hola... Yo estoy usando en el trabajo el genericstable, pero el caso es diferente al tuyo y no se si te servirá. Partimos de que los usuarios tienen un dominio ficticio (no existente en Internet), y al enviar correo, los campos correspondientes tienen que llevar un dominio real, e incluso un nombre de usuario diferente, porque tenemos buzones compartidos por varios de ellos; por ejemplo el usuario [EMAIL PROTECTED] tiene que salir como [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yo he utilizado MASQUERADE_ENTIRE_DOMAIN y MASQUERADE_ENVELOPE y GENERICSTABLE. Para hacer le genericstable, hice un fichero de texto con dos columnas separadas con tabuladores, en la primera puse [EMAIL PROTECTED] y en la segunda [EMAIL PROTECTED], despues: makemap hash genericstable fichero-de entrada Esto genera un fichero genericstable.db.

Pues bien, tras comprobar que 'chsh -v' no me da la versión, hago: $ dpkg -S */chsh passwd: /usr/bin/chsh Vaya, pero si chsh no forma parte del util-linux. Para colmo, más abajo en el Changes, dice que este paquete hay que actualizarlo porque desaparece el límite de 128 Mb para el swap y hay que cambiar también mount y mkswap. $ dpkg -S */mount */mkswap mount: /bin/mount mount: /usr/doc/mount util-linux: /sbin/mkswap O sea, que hay que actualizar los paquetes util-linux y mount.

error compiling PCMCIA modules for 2.2 kernel
Here is the process I have gone through to try and make a 2.2 kernel work on my friend's laptop: 1. compile and install a 2.2 kernel image 2. upgrade pcmcia-cs to the 3.0.7 version which is in potato 3. got pcmcia-source from potato, installed it, and untarred the pcmcia-cs.tar from it into /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs 4. attempted to do a 'make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 modules_image' I believe all this is correct, but I continue to get errors when trying to complete the final step (compiling the pcmcia modules). It gets pretty far, but it inevitably says something to the effect of: /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.0/drivers/net/8390.c: 1110: parse error before 'config_must_be_included_before_module' and a few more similar errors on following lines of 8390.c Any ideas? -- _ _ | |(_) http://www.iit.edu/~jenseri | _| | | Page me via ICQ at | |___ | | http://wwp.mirabilis.com/19022931 |__/ | or by mailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] |__/

That's like the mailman opening your mail. MTAs can do whatever they please with the headers, but they should stay clear of everything that follows the first empty line, i.e. a line with nothing preceding the CRLF. However, `fetchmail' provides a `popclient' and I'm not sure what these beasties are supposed and allowed to do.

Now I wonder where I have my sendmail.cf file, I am using (the Debian standard) smail. Can't see nothing about procmail in /etc/smail, I wonder how my system knows that it should deliver mail with procmail. If I could add this option, I guess my problem would be solved. Try this debian:~# find /etc -name sendmail.cf and have a look the `find' manual page after that. I just grepped through `Contents-i386' and the only references to `sendmail.cf' came from the sendmail and fidogate packages (hamm). The relevant file for smail is /etc/smail/config. Also have a look at the `smail-config' man page.

Slink - xdm by default?
In my new (from scratch) slink installation, xdm starts by default on boot up, while in previous Debian versions (including a slink upgrade from hamm), text console mode was the default on boot up. Console mode on boot is what I strongly prefer. It would not be an issue except that the /etc/X11/config file where the boot behavior could be toggled previously is not there, and manually putting it there (with a no-start-xdm line included) does not help. I realize xdm starts from the etc/rc2/S99xdm link to the /etc/init.d/xdm script, but is there a more elegant way to disable xdm - like a new configuration file somewhere? If there is, I haven't found it yet. Thanks, Tom

I've racked my head ..(and some of yours) to fix the problem..I'm so fed up..I hope someone out there can figure out a solution.. Thanks..

function keys
Currently, the function keys in the virtual consoles generate different escape sequences then in environments such as xterm and screen. I've only tested keymaps under i386/qwerty, but I suspect this applies to others as well. Is there any logic behind the currently assigned escape sequences? Are they sup posed to emulate a certain terminal behavior? Right now, they don't really make sense. My suggestion is to make function keys consistant across as many tty interfaces as possible. I think the best way to do this is to change the files /usr/share/keymaps/*/*/* so that they are consistant on all ttys. I would help with this, but I want to know what people think first. Configuration for other programs could also be modified, but I don't know as much about how to do that. -- Dan Gohman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Linux' fdisk / rescue disks / LILO
Hi, I've been playing around with multi-OS installation (Debian/Window$98) for a bit and was wondering if it is possible to use Linux' `fdisk' without having Linux installed (yet) since it is more powerful than the `cfdisk' program the installer uses. More specifically, I would like to specify exactly what cylinders partitions are to start and to end on. I would guess this should be possible with the rescue diskettes, but I can seem to get these to boot. They just keep rebooting themselves no matter what I throw at the boot prompt. I have tried the tecra ones as well to no avail. A similar phenomenon appears after installation when I try to boot using LILO. It gets stuck in an infinite loop of booting Linux when booting Linux when booting Linux ... This happens at the reboot stage in the installer. Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have, -- _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Olaf Meeuwissen Ph.D. student, Shinshu University, Japan [EMAIL PROTECTED]Information Management Systems Laboratory

Re: converting numbers
Where's the FM that tells how to convert numbers, like 0x11A to a
decimal?
You'll find it in any C manual, or try man strtol for the strtol() function.
If all you want is to convert to decimal, use this short C-program:
#include stdio.h
void main(int argc, char **argv)
{
while (*++argv) printf(%s == %i\n, *argv, strtol(*argv));
}
It simply prints all arguments as decimal numbers. To use it, save it as
decimal.c Then run gcc -O2 decimal.c and mv a.out decimal
Possibly also chmod oug+rx decimal
You can now use commands like ./decimal 25 0xFF 011 and get
25 == 25
0xFF == 255
011 == 9
The first one was an ordinary number, the other hexadecimal and the third one
octal.

It sounds like you have the same problem. I've seen three culprits for this one: 1) You've got a slow/buggy UART on your I/O card. It should be a 16550A or better. You can tell what kind you have by running setserial /dev/ttySx (x for your port numbe) as root. If it says 8250, 16450, you should buy another one. 2) You have an IRQ conflict. cat /proc/interrupts, and check they're all where you expect them to be. This is quite likely the case if your modem is on /dev/ttyS[23] and you've got a lot of other cards. 3) The one I've not seen documented elsewhere: hdparm. I originally used hdparm on my old 486 to speed up my disk accesses by enabling 32 bit accesses and multiple mode. Alas, multiple mode hogged the bus, so every time I accessed the disk, I'd lose serial interrupts.

Re: converting numbers
Where's the FM that tells how to convert numbers, like 0x11A to a decimal? I use 'dc' for this sort of task, for example: plum:~$ dc Invoke the program 16 push 16 on the stack i pop 16 from the stack and set it as the input radix 11A push 0x11A on the stack p print the top number on the stack 282 by default, output radix is 10 One can go on and display the number in other radices (sp?): 8 push 8 o set output radix p print 432 here it is in octal 2 push 2 o set output radix p print 100011010 and now in binary q all done plum:~$ 'dc' has a good man page - and it's fun too!

Re: Mouse not working--could it be an S3Virge incompatibility issue?

Have a look in the IRQ listing usually given at the start of booting by your BIOS. AFAIR his mouse behaviour under S3 is different from irq conflict... With IRQ conflict cursor just freezes there, and it seems his cursor is gone conpletely, and only when mouse is moved, it appeares. Probably something with the hardware? I have an S3 Virge/DX with 4M, works beautifully. ALso, just to make sure, try switching irqs with setserial for the Com1. If it's IRQ conflict, it will help.
