Re: Lista parada ?
Estou reenviando esta, parece que acertaram o endereço, que agora é debian-user-portuguese (com GUE e nao ge) Oi Eduardo e todos, Acho que em primeiro lugar precisamos listar e organizar em ordem de prioridade os documentos e programas a traduzir. Não vai resolver nada cada um fazer trabalho independente. Alias um trabalho de tradução deve ser feito com cuidado, na escolha dos termos, no encaixe das longas frases em português num espaço pensado em ingles, e por aí vai. Deve existir uma coordenação e uma avaliação dos trabalhos. Outra coisa, estamos falando de Portugues Brasileiro. Em Portugal os termos tecnicos diferem. Deve ficar claro que estaremos desenvolvendo uma versão de Português Brasileiro. Como identificar oficialmente esta versão ? (a Debian tem alguma regra para isto ?

Re: Lista parada ?
Oi Glerson, você está usando a Debian 2.0 ou 2.1? Já instalou o apt. Se não instale. Vale a pena. Está no ftp da Debian na parte unstable no diretório admin. Você vai precisar atualizar o libc6 e o libc6-dev além do libg+2.8 (esse ultimo eu nao tenho certeza). Esse apt faz com que você atualize mais facilmente a Debian. Baixe esses pacotes do mirror da USP: ftp://ftp.br.debian.org e instale na mão: dpkg -i apt , dpkg -i libc6 ... Depois rode o dselect, escolha como opcao de access e o apt. De um update, selecione os pacotes e instale. :) A última distribuicão da Debian (Potato) tem 2930 pacotes. S e não tem algum programa lá não vai ter em lugar nenhum. :) Quoting Glerson Dal Pizzol ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): tudo bem, desse jeito eu sabia, estava pensando se dselect poderia tb fazer isso, aonde posso encontrar esse monte de programas .deb, tem algum site especifico? ou ftp?

dpkg-source
Hi all, I was wondering about the following. I login as root, then cd /usr/src then dpkg-source -x /mnt/cdrom/(...)/bla.dsc. I customize the source and/ or compiling-options and issue cd bla and debian/rules binary in order to get a package bla.deb in /usr/src. Then dpkg -i bla.deb and dpkg will replace any already installed binary bla-components. So far, everything is smooth and to my liking (I hope, I did do it correctly, I'm still a newbie at this?) I was wondering, what will happen, when I get another distribution and do e.g. an apt-get dist-upgrade, will it then replace the bla-package with a newer version (if there is a newer version in the new distribution) or will it leave my customized package alone? Could anybody enlighten me? Thanks and kind regards Frederick
path problems?
Hello, I have been trying to install Window Maker on my Debian system but with no avail. It is recommended to install the following tarballs in this order: libPropList, WindowMaker-data, WindowMaker-0.51 The problem that I am having has to do with the WindowMaker-05.1 installation. After having ran ./configure I receive the error message saying the following: CheckingX ... no Checking-lLibPropList ... no ** LibPropList not installed! ** Please install LibPropList -- LibProplist is installed in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib. -- X-Windows is installed in /usr/X11R6 and its config files are in /etc/X11 However, I have both LibPropList and X-Windows installed and believe the culprit to be the global path, but since i'm new to Debian Linux it's difficult to know what is exactly happening. --- Emil Soleyman
dftp problem...D
Yes you should be able to run 'dftp getselect' again, but first you want to: I did what you told me. After doing dftp getselect it got all the packages, but then ist stopped, so next I did dftp unpack Which kept the system busy for some minutes. Since the packages were still in /root/packages, I then did a dftp clear but this gave me lots of Keeping ./dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386/*/*.deb (not installed) error messages. For example: Keeping ./dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386/x11/xarchie_2.0.10-9.deb (not installed) But when I say: dpkg -s xarchie I get: Version: 2.0.10-9 So what could be wrong with dftp (or with me)?

Re: dftp problem...D
I really haven't used dftp for a while myself, but according to the man page, the clear option doesn't clear uninstalled packages from the archive. dftp uses it's own /root/packages/.installed file to know what packages are installed. It may have been that your dftp /root/packages/.installed file was out of sync with the dpkg data base. The dftp scaninst command should be run as the first step in a dftp session. That uses information from dpkg to create the .installed file. There is also a dftp verify command that should be run after downloading but before unpacking. The dftp man page explains it all pretty well. Tom
Re: dftp problem...D
OK - now I see the situation you had there. You need to run dftp installed after dftp unpack, but before dftp clear. This will update the .installed file with the packages you just installed. Again, it's all in the man page. Good luck, Tom

X11 and fvwm2: how to set screen size
General question: I have a Toshiba laptop (Portege 610CT) I have v2.1 installed and running, X11 with fvwm2 running with good screen resolution and 16bpp colors. Currently the resolution is set to 800x600, but the display still thinks that it is in 640x480 mode. This causes a lot of dynamic scrolling to get to border bars, etc. When I had (*gasp*) Windows 95/98 on the laptop, 800x600 was small, but perfectly legible without the virtual desktop effect and scrolling screens. The question I have is: Is there a way to force the X11 or fvwm2 to shrink the virtual desktop to physical screen dimensions?

Re: how to install packages w/o package file?
Hello, Is there a simple way to install these files without a package file? Someone else already posted how to use dpkg; if you want to stick with dselect, you can tell the `mounted' method that the distribution top level is none, main binary dir is where your .debs are, and when it asks where the packages file is, tell it scan (like it tells you to). It warns you that it'll take a long time, but it's not really that bad unless you have a great many packages. I used this method for my initial install, because I picked packages off the web site on a good network link, put them on a CD and brought that home. Note that dselect will then show a lot of `Obsolete/local' packages which obviously aren't either. Just ignore them, they won't go away. Jiri
Re: Help with unzipping files.
Nuno Donato wrote: Can anyone help me out with a problem. I have downloaded some apps for linux, but they are compressed. Can anyone tell me how to decompress them. Step by step if possible. There are various kinds of compression, usually indicated by the filename: ... And, of course, *.deb, which can be installed using dpkg -i (if you really want to, they can be extracted using ar, but there's usually not much point). After decompression, you have to install them. This is where having a .deb file really helps, because it's automatic (so check that the program isn't available that way). If you have an .rpm file is similar, but not as good (for a Debian system). Otherwise, you'll probably have to compile the application - a thing that is usually set up to be automatic, but usually needs some fine-tuning before it'll actually work. Finally, you'll have to copy the compiled program somewhere you can get at it easily (if you're going to use it more than about three times). Jiri
Re: Formatting drive
Hello, Peter Allen: You can either run dos fdisk, or you can run linux fdisk/cfdisk, and change the partition type, then finally running mkfs -t msdos /dev/ on it. I've heard it recommended to use the relevant fdisk for creating partitions - ie use the DOS fdisk for creating a DOS partition. Probably a sensible habit, even if it doesn't make any difference.

Re: fetchmail (or maybe exim) eats messages
Hello, Presumably this is because of the ownership thing, but there was no error message, and the messages have simply vanished! Are these messages lost forever? I think I've just answered my own question. An error message is returned to the sender saying the message could not be delivered. Another place to look about lost messages is /var/spool/exim (or use the X-based eximon). The msglog directory contains messages, input for the messages themselves - examine msglog, fix whatever it's complaining about, and run exim -qqf I get undeliverable messages every now and then because I've set up one mailing list to save to files according to subject, and when the subject contains a slash it gets stuck because the subdirectory doesn't exist.

Re: I hate dselect
Hello, dselect's Select option sucks! sucks! sucks! Yes. But then dependency screens came up, so as per the help screens, I pressed R to restore things to the way they were, then I pressed X to exit and abandon all changes. You could probably try Q. I don't think dselect passes any force options to dpkg, so if it's really dangerous, it won't work anyway. I learned to use that, because every time I use dselect it discovers I need to upgrade my libc6, and therefore it selects libc6 - even though the libc6 it can see is the libc6 I already have installed. Umm, let me start over: I have a few slink packages, and a hamm libc6, and dselect is looking at hamm. Since something needs the slink libc6, dselect decides to install the hamm libc6. Jiri

Help compiling my kernel
I need some help compiling my kernel: 1) I would really rather not have to go through the config process - it is my hope that I can use the standard .config file with a few modifications - in particular, sound and APM enabled. Can't I just use the standard .config file, modify a few things via an editor, and use it to recompile my kernel? If I do this, can I skip the make menuconfig step? Further, I unpacked my kernel-source package, but it doesn't contain a .config file, however it does contain .config.save. Can I rename it to .config and use it? 2) After I compile my kernel, say I decide to change a few things in the source - is there a need to redo the make menuconfig step? Or does that strictly create the .config file? 3) I tried to make menuconfig, but got an error: rm -f include/asm ( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm) make -C scripts/lxdialog all make[1]: Entering directory 'usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.34/scripts/lxdialog' gcc -O2 -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer -DLOCALE -DCURSES_LOC=curses.h -c lxdialog.c -o lxdialog.o In file included from lxdialog.c:22: dialog.h:29: curses.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [lxdialog.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.34/scripts/lxdialog' make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2 I'm guessing I need something like ncursesxxx-dev, right? How come this isn't in the dependencies of kernel-package? 4) According to the README in /usr/src/linux, I should link as follows: ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 /usr/include/asm ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include/linux ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/scsi /usr/include/scsi Problem is, I have libc6 installed, and it is installed in /usr/include. Should I do the links as directed? Or will the libc6 stuff work? 5) I seem to have three different versions of the header files. Do I really need them all? I have: libc6 - /usr/include libc5-altdev- /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/include linux source- /usr/src/include 6) The kernel-package docs say I need to run: make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot version Do I need to do this if I compile as root?

CD image: *.raw -- *.cif?
I've decided, against my better judgement, to do a download of the debian-i368.raw thing and just press my own CD. I have a small question, though: I'm a Win32 junkie, and the program I use to cut discs is Adobe CD Copier. The image files it accepts are .CIF files; in the FAQ portion of http://cdimage.debian.org it says that to get Windows apps to recognize the image, change the file name from *.raw to *.iso. Well, that's not gonna work, but as long as my thinking is correct, I can just rename it to *.cif and be all very well. Yes, I'm being exceedingly overcautious and perhaps that was a stupid question, but I'd rather not download 550+ megs of useless filespace, you understand. Thanks, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
netscape library dependencies?
Hi, I have just downloaded and installed Netscape 4.5 and found these missing libraries reported as errors when I try to run it: libg++.so.27 libstdc++.so.27 However, I do have the libraries libg++.so.2.7.2.8 and libstdc++.so.2.7.2.8 and the links libg++.so.272 and libstdc++.so.272. These, I believe are more up-to-date versions of the libraries (I upgraded via ftp recently from the main stable distribution). What should I do? I tried the kluge of making links called libg++.so.27 pointing the existing libg++.so.2.7.2.8 (same thing for the other library). This removed the missing library error, or course, but now I have a 'segmentation fault'. I guess this kluge is a bad thing. Can anyone suggest a way out?

libc6 or libc5???
I recently downloaded the latest Debian dist (hamm I believe) from the debian.org website. I did this after realizing that the dist that came on a cd I have is about a year or so old. I wanted the latest stable kernel/apps/etc. I'm new to Linux but was able to install my original dist with little trouble and was able to download the proper X server and get twm up and running. Then I decided to download fvwm95 and window maker to have a more elegant front end to X. In addition I found that I needed the latest ppp package as well. After many painful attempts I could not get these packages to install so this lead me to finding the entire dist. Well, none of the packages will install because they apparently depend on libc6, but this conflicts with libc5 which some of the other apps depend on. In fact, dpkg wouldnt even let me remove libc5 because of this. Is it OK to remove libc5? I'm assuming I have the latest versions of the apps that need libc5 in the new dist and that they depend on libc6. Is this the case? Tom Persons

It can be done in several ways; you can use Linux's LILO program, which allows you to choose at boot time which OS you want to boot into, or you can use a boot floppy for Linux and boot off the hard drive for NT, or you can probably configure NT to offer the choice (like LILO), or you can use a third-party boot manager. Be aware that if you're unfamiliar with Linux/UNIX you've got a TREMENDOUS learning curve in front of you. You'll get frustrated and discouraged at times, but eventually you'll be glad you started down this path. (If you've ever had to reboot Windows 3 or 12 times just because you've added a new video card, etc, you'll be amazed at the configuration changes you can make without having to reboot Linux, and you'll LOVE the stability!) It's probably a little early to try to tell you how to multi-boot, because it will depend on whether you're putting Linux on a separate drive or just separate partitions and etc. Even so, I'd try to give you more detail, except I've never done it with NT; just Win95. Since Windows assumes it's the only OS that anyone will ever use, it tends to be rude about the MBR (Master Boot Record), so several people have suggested installing Windows and then Linux rather than the other way around; it seems to make the process a bit smoother.

If you get in a hurry and try to find a Linux CD at your local software store, you're likely to find Redhat. Although Redhat is a good product, I've never heard anyone say they were glad they switched to it from Debian, and I have heard several say they were glad that they switched to Debian from Redhat. So if you can't wait for your Debian CD to arrive, you can always download the 7 or 8 files necessary to get the base install going, then you can continue installing any further packages via modem/ethernet. A CD is way better than trying to install via modem (but the base install is reasonable), but if you've got fast ethernet access, you can get started quickly without waiting for a CD to arrive.

errors in sources while compiling Kernels
Hi,
I just tried to compile a Kernel from source (2.0.34 from my hamm-
distribution) and there were errors in the source code:
/usr/src/linux/arch/i368/kernel/ptrace.c (Line 87):
static unsigned long get_long(struct task_struct * tsk,
struct vm_area_struct * vma, unsigned long addr
{
^
As you'll notice, there's a closing bracket missing.___|
What makes it interesting, the last time I compiled the
kernel was only some days ago, without any error, _and_
it isn't the first time I encountered one-letter-errors
in the sources.
Any ideas what causes this?
Just in case you'll ask, yes, chkdsk found some errors recently,
but I don't remember errors the other times, and the kernel sources
seem to be the only place where I get problems.
thanks in advance,
Ingo

How are you installing the base system - did you make floppies or straight from the CD ? If you used floppies, try either booting straight from the CD or restart the computer in MS-DOS mode and change into the /install directory of the CD ROM and run boot.bat When you have booted Linux from the CD go through the base installation process selecting CD ROM as the installation method. If this works OK then in the modules section under CD ROM devices (I think) there is a module which says to the effect of ISO9660 - this module is loaded/selected automatically. If you wish you can install this module manually anyway by pressing ENTER but this has never made a difference to my installations. If still no problems, complete the installation (choose to start Linux by default and to load LILO) and reboot as requested (note: do not eject the CD until after the computer resets). When Linux reboots you can see the kernel messages appear on the screen use the SCROLL LOCK key to halt the display and SHIFT PgUp / SHIFT PgDn to see anything you missed. At some stage the kernel will inform you what device it thinks the CD ROM is - make a note of this and tell dselect the same device. OTOH if you cannot read from the CD when installing the base system then you had best check the Hardware Compatibility How-To - it may be that your CD ROM is not supported by Linux. Let me know how you go and if you have any more problems pls tell me the type of CD ROM that you have. If you can, make complete notes of everything that you do from when you turn the computer on to when the error occurs. At 04:46 PM 1/30/99 -0200, you wrote: Hello, Ivan. It seems that you are getting through the installation of the base system OK - is that right ? I think so... Once in dselect, choose access method CD ROM and you will be asked the device name - this will be /dev/hdx where x is a letter telling linux what controller your CD lives on. eg. The CD ROM on my main Debian box is /dev/hdb. My CD ROM is /dev/hdd. When I type the device name, dselect says that he can't mount /dev/hdb. And says that the kernel does not support the iso9660 file system. That's it... Thank you, Ivan. Cristiano Viana At 12:50 AM 1/30/99 -0200, Cristiano Viana wrote: Hello. Please help me.

slink: kernel-package fails
Hi, after upgrading to slink I had to recompile a 2.0.36 kernel (because of new hardware). I did make-kpkg clean; make config; make-kpkg --rev printe.20362 kernel_image and get the following error messages: dpkg-gencontrol -pkernel-image-2.0.36 -Pdebian/tmp-image parse changelog/debian: error: unable to open substvars file debian/substvars: no such file or directory dpkg-gencontrol: error: syntax error in parsed version of changelog at line 0: empty file Then it stops... (The complete compile was successfull, however.) I tried as well kernel-package 5.13 as 6.05 (after make-kpkg clean). What's going on? I never had problems with kernel-package before. It is in fact one of those silent tools, that makes Debian so attractive to me. kws -- Dr. Karl-Wilhelm Schulte Bergische Universitaet-GH/HRZ (Computing Center) Gaussstr. 20 D-42097 Wuppertal (Germany) Tel. +49-202-4392807, Fax +49-202-4392910 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: man/apropos/mandb problem...

(Permission denied errors, files missing, etc.) I assume you're doing this as root? Try erasing the files with the problems - use `dpkg -S' to find out what packages they're from so that you can reinstall the package and get the file back if necessary. Use `strace -e file' if mandb doesn't explain very well which files are causing the problems. If you can't delete the files as root, first try `chattr -i' on them. If _that_ doesn't work, you may have to resort to black magic: Backup what you need. Copy debugfs onto a floppy. Boot from the rescue disk and mount this floppy (and not the hard disk). Run debugfs on the partition with the problem, then use its `rm' command on the offending file.

When trying to install further packages with it, it says: -8-- Checking system integrity...dependency error You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages are broken - this means they have unmet dependencies: licq: Depends:qt-1.41 -8-- But dpkg doesn't complain, it works just fine to install new packages with that. So I tried another solution: the equiv package, which is supposed to fool the system into beleiving that packages are installed when they're not.

Mouse again!
I posted something about my mouse not working after installing a new ViRGE card on my Linux box, but none of the suggested solutions have been succesful. Therefore, I will explain the problem again. Basically, the mouse is only marginally recognized: sometimes, if I move it, the cursor appears for a while, but it doesn't move. Some other times, it moves far too fast, rendering it useless. Since with my old VGA card, the mouse works great, and it works fine under Windows with the new card, I am at a loss here. My BIOS settings have a com1 at 0x3f8, irq 4, and a non-PnP OS, automatic IRQ assignation and resetting enabled. It's one of this Award PnP BIOS's you seem to get everywhere these days. Yesterday, I got hold of a matrox millenium gfx card, and swapped my S3 ViRGE for it. The problem stays with the new card, and the card doesn't work properly. I read that there might be something to do in /etc/vga/libvga.config, but I've tinkered about with that to no avail. I'd be *REALLY* grateful if anyonce could send me some information (or to the list), as I can't use either gpm or X, and I need to get to X to finish some work Thanks a lot.
