re:staroffice virge
Habeis podido instalar la Staroffice 5.1 Yo no, tal como arranca el programa de instalacion, las X se quedan congeladas, incluso todo el sistema, ... He oido rumores que tiene algun problema con el servidor de la S3 Virge. _Sabeis algo de eso??? Es cierto. Yo tenia el servidor X ligado a S3Virge y lo tuve que sustituir por un SVGA generico. No he tenido mas problemas y X funciona igual de bien que antes. Tendras que modificar que X-XSGA (creo que en /etc/X11/xserver) y tambien copiar las lineas de Monitor-Accelerated a Monitor-Generic en XF86Config Emilio.
root y X
Hola a todos. No se como autorizar a root a abrir ventanas en mi instancia de servidor X: - Hago login con mi usuario (emilio) - Abro un xterm (realmente un kvt, pero da igual) - Ejecuto su (para convertirme en root) - Cualquier programa x que intente ejecutar no puede usar el servidor X. ¿Qué puedo hacer? He buscado en los manuales por security y cosas similares y no encuentro nada. Gracias de antemano. Emilio.

He buscado en los manuales por security y cosas similares y no encuentro nada. # export XAUTHORITY=~emilio/.Xauthority Lo que sucede es que en Debian se usa el método de seguridad X basado en la galletita del MIT (MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1). Cuando un usuario arranca las X se genera una contraseña que se guarda en el fichero .Xauthority en el directorio de ese usuario, o en el fichero que hayamos definido en la variable XAUTHORITY, con permiso de lectura y escritura sólo para ese usuario. Cada aplicación que quiera abrir una ventana tendrá que usar esa contraseña. Así, sólo las aplicaciones de ese usuario tendrán acceso, a menos que el usuario le de la contraseña a otros. Como el superusuario puede leer cualquier fichero del disco, lo que hacemos con el export de ahí arriba es decirle a las X que la contraseña para las ventanas que vamos a abrir como root la saque del fichero ~emilio/.Xauthority . Este método es mucho más seguro que el xhost, ya que permite el acceso sólo a los usuarios que nosotros autoricemos, no a todos los usuarios de una máquina. Pero las contraseñas se transmiten en abierto, así que si estamos abriendo ventanas desde una máquina remota, cualquiera que nos pinche la linea puede robarnos la contraseña.

Así estan los nombres en mi smail/config: visible_name=nexo.es more_hostnames=shadowland -domains hostnames=shadowland:nexo.es En visible_name tengo el nombre de mi proveedor para que cuando la gente haga replies estos vayan dirigidos al servidor de correo de mi proveedor, y no a mi máquina... ¿se debe hacer así, o he metido la gamba?

Servidor de irc
Hola,
tengo un problemilla con el servidor ircd, acabo de instalarlo y ya lo
tengo funcionando en el puerto 6667.
Cuando intento acceder al servidor desde mi PC me dice lo siguiente:
Closing link: [mi direccion IP] by Linux-Server (Use a different port)
*** Can't connecto to server, waiting 5 seconds before retrying...
En mi Linux-Server está activado el puerto 6667, como se puede ver:
Linux:~# netstat -a | grep 6667
tcp0 0 *:6667 *:* LISTEN
Quizas haya que tocar algo el /etc/irc/ircd.conf
¿Alguna idea?
Saludos.

Re: Problema al mandar mensajes a gente que usa mi ISP
Hola Miguel. Te envio un mensaje enviado por Manel Marín al la lista linux que me fué de mucha utilidad para configurar smail. Espero que te sirva. Saludines Configurar SMAIL con smailconfig: 1-Opcion: (1) Internet site 2-Visible mail name: ctv.es (como nuestro proveedor) 3-Otros nombres del sistema: none 4-smarthost: smtp.ctv.es 5-usar smarthost para: (1) Todo el correo saliente 6-redirigir correo de postmaster y root a: manel 7-confirmar lo seleccionado: y 8-metodo de arranque de smail: (1) /etc/inetd.conf 9-enviar mensaje de prueba: n Modificar: /etc/smail/config y dejar la linea hostnames como hostnames=p166.localdomain borrando el :ctv.es y poniendo :nombre_empresa para utilizar en correo interno direciones del tipo [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Si no se quita el :ctv.es el correo a mi_mismo_en_ctv se intenta entregar en [EMAIL PROTECTED] en vez de en [EMAIL PROTECTED] y no me puedo enviar correo a mi mismo para pruebas...) Como ves no te he enganyado... son nueve preguntas y un cambio ;) Me dio mas problemas conseguir que enviase rapido todo el correo en conexiones cortas a internet (como las de bajar el correo), cada segundo es dinero... Por defecto, depende de como, se esperaba casi !dos minutos! para empezar a enviar mensajes... Lo solucione poniendo en ip-up... runq -q1s y en up-down... killall runq Esto obliga a smail a mirar la cola de mensajes de salida cada segundo mientras dura la conexion, y va muy bien...

problema con la dirección de retorno
Holas, Hace un tiempo hice esta misma consulta, pero como todavía no logro solucionarlo intento de nuevo. El problema es que bajo email desde dos casillas, mi ISP y mi trabajo. Como no quiero mezclar lo que manejo en el trabajo con la correspondencia particular tengo creados dos usuarios en mi máquina; en uno recibo la correspondencia desde mi ISP y en el otro desde el trabajo. El problema es que cuando mando algún mensaje desde el usuario correspondiente al trabajo, me gustaría que la dirección de retorno fuera precisamente la de mi trabajo y no la de mi ISP, pero todos los mensajes salen como provenientes de mi ISP debido (creo) a la línea visible_name en el archivo de configuración de smail. Traté con una opción de mutt que se supone pega lo que uno quiera después de la @, pero nada. Lo peor es que los mensajes enviados desde este usuario (como este) salen con una dirección de retorno que ni siquiera existe (espero), pues llevan el login de mi cuenta del trabajo, pero el nombre de mi ISP después de la @. Gracias de antemano por cualquier sugerencia. Felipe Sánchez [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

svgalib does nothing after setting mode, so the speed will be the same

Re: Sizing Netscape windows?
I'm using Communicator 4.5 and have found when I resize the window using my mouse, then cancel the window, when I bring it back up the size is remembered. You can also set the size by typing in an xterm window or insert in a menu something along the lines of, netscape -geometry =100x120+0+0 Sorry I'm not in Linux right now because I'm having a modem problem that only windows can handle right now or I could provide better info. the +0+0 places the window in the upper left part of the screen and the numbers =100x120 correspond to the width and height or height and width can't remember:) Usually you can just click on the Netscape window border and hold, and a pop up will give you the geometry numbers.

You may also be able to click on the little netscape icon on the left of the title bar to bring down a menu which (on most window managers I've played with) will give you an option to resize. Others will allow you to click on the title bar with one of the mouse buttons and give you another drop down menu of windows actions.

Re: Sizing Netscape windows?
What window manager are you using ? Most have handles that appear when you move the mouse cursor either to the corner or the side of the window. Also you may be able to move the window down far enough that you can see a maximise button - my experience with FVWM95 is that using this button does just this - maximises the window to the physical size of the screen.

It looks like a mime type has been set up to launch the vim application for the file type of the HOWTO. Then when Netscape calls vim, vim fails because it is not being launched in a terminal. The '[24; 1H [0;10m' characters are the results of vim(a text based editor) sending console control codes to the shell that Netscape launched for vim, I think Netscape does a 'sh -c' to start its shells, so it is issuing 'sh -c vim %s'. Look through your Preferenses-Navigator-Applications for a mime type that is launching vim. If you really want to launch vim then you should launch it in an xterm or other terminal.

The numbers have been swapped for some reason nobody understands (to correct some BIOS error or to provide compatibility with BIOS, dunno). The reason is quite straightforward; in = 2.0, lp0 is always the port at 0x3bc, lp1 is at 0x378, and lp2 is 0x278. In 2.2, they are allocated only if they are found; lp0 is the first port found, lp1 the second. This is more like how the rest of the kernel devices work.

soft links vs hard links (was Re: duplicate binaries)
dan writes: Shouldn't files like egrep and fgrep be symbolic links to grep, and same for any other program like this? What's wrong with hard links for this? If you have hard links, and replace one of them, you still need to replace the other one, since it still points to the original file. If you have soft links and replace the real file, the soft link points to the correct file immediately. In addition, hard links cannot exist across file systems, which means that if you used them, you would have to check if both links are on the same file system, and otherways make a soft link anyway.

xfonts-100dpi upgrade
Hi, I just did an update from potato... One of the packages it tried to update was the xfonts-100dpi, but it kept giving an error about incorrect md5sum? I marked the package held, and was able to complete the update for the remaining packages. I downloaded from http.us.debian.org. Mike -- Mike Merten [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# 28460680

Colour 15 bpp colour depth in X
Reply-To: Hi I am running Slink on my AST 5200M laptop. It has a Cirrus 7555 graphics card built into it. I took a XF86Config from the Cirrus and Xwindows web page and it works fine except even though I have added -bpp 16 to startx it is actually running at 15bpp. The culprit seems to be a weight 555 statement in the XF86Config. However if I remove this line all the colours look washed out and the display seems very dim. It runs NT at millions of colours so I guess it should do X at 16 bpp. Does anyone know where I should start looking to fix this problem ?

There's not really a solution to that, ever, for an OS distributed on the Internet. MS distributes boot floppies with their non-upgrade OS products for the same reason.

Re: soft links vs hard links (was Re: duplicate binaries)
dan writes: Shouldn't files like egrep and fgrep be symbolic links to grep, and same for any other program like this? I wrote: What's wrong with hard links for this? If you have hard links, and replace one of them, you still need to replace the other one, since it still points to the original file. No. If you have hard links and replace one of them, you replace the original file. If you have soft links and replace the real file, the soft link points to the correct file immediately. The only reason exactly one of egrep, fgrep or grep would be replaced is if the maintainer split it out as a seperate binary. The maintainer would arrange for the appropriate link to be removed before the binary was installed. No problem. In addition, hard links cannot exist across file systems, which means that if you used them, you would have to check if both links are on the same file system, and otherways make a soft link anyway. This would introduce the need for different maintenance routines depending on the physical layout of directories on file systems, which is Definitely Not What You Want. Egrep, fgrep, and grep are all in the same directory. In this case hard links are exactly what you want. -- John HaslerThis posting is in the public domain.

This is much more flexible if you need to reinstall Windows later, because to get LILO back you just change your active partition (even Windows' fdisk will let you do that). I agree in principle, but in this case he has Linux on his second disk (hdb1), and the Win9X MBR doesn't allow active partitions on a slave disk - he would have no way to get to Linux (other than a boot floppy or loadlin). If he wants to use Lilo, it has to be in the MBR to provide access to Linux on the 2nd disk. Tom Another option (but not necessarily the best by any means), is to use loadlin from Win95's DOS prompt to start Linux. You can even go one step further and disable the autoload of Win95 so that a boot just drops you to a DOS prompt so you can manually fire up Linux (loadlin) or Win95 (win). You can then go one step further and set up CONFIG.SYS AUTOEXEC.BAT to offer the choice of which OS you want to boot into. I'm doing this at home because trying to install LILO broke 95, and although I know I could have fixed it properly, I wanted to see if I could do it in reverse. It works, and I haven't bothered to go back yet and fix LILO to work.
