Problemo con la impresora!!!!!
Hola a todos.
Es que estoy intentado cofigurar la impresora y llevo varios días sin
conseguirlo. Es una Epson LQ1050+. He probado con el filtro de
magicfilter epsonlq y epsonlqc, con el último funciona mejor; pero no
bien. Se me ocurrió ver si lo conseguía instalando printtool de RedHat
5.2, pero nada. He vuelto a intantarlo a pedal. Pero como he toqueteado
tanto en el printcap y en los filtros, no sé si habré cascado algo.
Ahora no me imprime. A ver si estos datos le serven a alguien.
bash-2.01$ ps

Sistema Linux con dos tarjetas de red. ¿Como configurar?
Saludos. Os cuento mi problema por si alguien me puede ayudar (llevo desde el 29 de enero intentando solucionarlo por mi cuenta y ¡me rindo!). Tengo un ordenador en el que he instalado una Debian 2.0. Todo fue bien hasta que llegó el momento de configurar el acceso a las redes locales. Este cacharro tiene acceso a dos redes independientes (192.168.1.0 y 192.168.2.0), mediante dos tarjetas de red (una NE compatible y una 3c509). Ambas tarjetas están correctamente configuradas y funcionan (al menos bajo W95). Mi problema es que no se como configurar Linux para poder utilizar simultaneamente ambas redes, de forma que pueda acceder p.ej. a 192.168.1.X o a 192.168.2.X simplemente con indicar su dirección. No pretendo que Linux haga de gateway (creo que se dice así -la verdad es que tengo bastante lio terminológico entre gateways, routers, hubs, pasarelas, concentradores, etc, etc.-) y permita a todos los nodos de una red acceder a la otra, simplemente pretende poder acceder desde la máquina Linux a los nodos de ambas redes utilizando los servicios que estén disponibles en cada una. Po favó, una ayudita (referencias de documentación disponible, ejemplos, ¡lo que sea!). A ser posible no muy técnico, no sea que me atragante más de lo que ya estoy. Gracias. Ramón L.

Nunca compilaré nada a la primera :-D
Holas! Me bajé mi querido xosview (que nadie me lo quite ;-)), versión 1.7.0 y me puse a compilarlo, pero en el 'make' peta, y es que no encuentra un archivito: #include asm/uaccess.h ...que yo interpreto como /usr/include/asm/uaccess.h. Pues bien, no lo tengo. Como en la Debian no hay enlaces de /usr/include/asm a /usr/src/linux/include/asm (si no me equivoco), pues probé a hacerlo, ya que uaccess.h sí está en las cabeceras del núcleo, pero tampoco funcionó. Daba error de símbolos definidos en dos sitios y un montón de errores en uaccess.h, seguramente porque el del núcleo 2.2.1 no vale :-). La cosa, sin el enlace, va más o menos así: gcc -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -DMODULE -c memstat-2.2.c -o memstat.o memstat-2.2.c:10: asm/uaccess.h: No such file or directory memstat-2.2.c:58: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type memstat-2.2.c: In function `si_memstat': memstat-2.2.c:110: `max_mapnr' undeclared (first use this function) memstat-2.2.c:110: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once memstat-2.2.c:110: for each function it appears in.) memstat-2.2.c:116: warning: implicit declaration of function `atomic_read' memstat-2.2.c:98: warning: `i' might be used uninitialized in this function memstat-2.2.c: In function `memstat_read': memstat-2.2.c:186: structure has no member named `f_dentry' memstat-2.2.c:207: warning: implicit declaration of function `copy_to_user' make[2]: *** [memstat.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory /usr/local/src/xosview-1.7.0/linux/memstat' make[1]: *** [MemStat] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory /usr/local/src/xosview-1.7.0/linux' make: *** [meterlib] Error 2 He hecho un 'dpkg -S uaccess.h' y me dio la bonita cifra de cero archivos, así que no sé de dónde sacarlo.

Programa tcpdump
Hola a todos: He estado últimamente utilizando el programa tcpdump para hacer volcados del tráfico en ethernet o en el puerto serie, es realmente un programa muy potente y muy interesante para analizar tráfico TCP/IP. La pregunta que quiero realizar es la siguiente: Este programa da bastantes detalles analizados. Direcciones IP, puertos, analiza rechazos ICMP, y detalles de conexiones ftp, telnet, etc, etc. También es capaz de ofrecer un volcado en hexadecimal puro de las tramas que viajan ya sea ethernet o puerto serie (lo que yo suelo utilizar). Aparte de esto, quisiera saber si existe algún programa que basándose en la salida hexadecimal del tcpdump, analice octeto a octeto todos los detalles de cada protocolo. Con las RFC y un poco de paciencia todo se puede conseguir, pero si existiera algún programa de estas características me resultaría muy interesante. Muchas gracias a todos.

una red acceder a la otra, simplemente pretende poder acceder desde la

Edita /etc/init.d/networks y le pones algo así:
#! /bin/sh
# Estas dos lineas son para la pseudo-interface loopback
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
# Las siguientes para la primera tarjeta, que supongo que está conectada
# a la red 192.168.1.0 y tiene la IP 192.168.1.1
IPADDR1=192.168.1.1
NETMASK1=255.255.255.0
NETWORK1=192.168.1.0
BROADCAST1=192.168.1.255
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR1} netmask ${NETMASK1} broadcast ${BROADCAST1}
route add -net ${NETWORK1} eth0
# Las siguientes para la segunda tarjeta, que supongo que está conectada
# a la red 192.168.2.0 y tiene la IP 192.168.2.1
IPADDR2=192.168.2.1
NETMASK2=255.255.255.0
NETWORK2=192.168.2.0
BROADCAST2=192.168.2.255
ifconfig eth1 ${IPADDR2} netmask ${NETMASK2} broadcast ${BROADCAST2}
route add -net ${NETWORK2} eth1
Los ifconfigs son para asignar direcciones a las tarjetas de red, y los
routes para decirle al sistema que a la red correspondiente se accede por
esa tarjeta. Para los que usen los nuevos kernel 2.2.x, los route no son
necesarios, porque el sistema ya añade esas rutas básicas con cada
ifconfig.

Re: Portatil
Hola Octavio, No creo que tengas problemas si su tarjeta grafica esta soportada por el XF86_SVGA o por alguno de los otros drivers que vienen con las XFree. Averigua que tarjeta grafica tienen esos modelos de Acer (es muy util pedir las especificaciones, o que te den el manual de la tarjeta junto con el del ordenador), ejecuta los programas Xconfigurator o xf86config i mira si alli te aparece el driver para esa tarjeta (si no puedes dejar por defecto el SVGA, pero segun la version de que dispongas te puede dar problemas) Nosotros estuvimos peleandonos con el driver de las XFree86-3.3.2 para que reconociera la tarjeta del portatil en el que hemos instalado Red Hat. El portatil es un Hyunday con un PII a 266 y una tarjeta S3 Virge MX+. Todo se soluciono cuando le instalamos el driver XF86_SVGA de la version XFree86-3.3.3, que viene en el segundo cd de la revista PC Actual de este mes, o te lo puedes bajar de la pagina web de XFree86. La nueva version del driver si soporta las S3VirgeMX+ con LCD TFT. Si tienes esta tarjeta puedes hacer lo que hicimos nosotros. Una vez hayas copiado el driver en /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA (si las XFree86 son de una version anterior), si no tienes linkado el fichero /usr/X11R6/bin/X a este driver, ejecutas : ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin/X Y despues, desde el shell: xf86config Espero que te sirva de ayuda... ;) Josep Francesc Abril Ferrando IMIM - Dpt.

Re: Loading 2 LinuxOS with LILO
`LILO: slack' starts the Slackware OS but loads the Debian kernel image. Note that whereas /vmlinuz in Debian is a symlink to /boot/vmlinuz-2.x.x, in Slackware /vmlinuz is the kernel image itself. I've never been able to divine the solution to this either, when using a 2nd or 3rd disk, so I use a workaround that has never failed me... And that is, put the kernels of ALL those Linux's NOT on the 1st disk into the /boot directory that lives there, on whatever partition that happens to be. With Lilo on the MBR, which is what I use here, this has done the job for me! I presently have one Intel box here that has 95, NT 4.0 and two bootable Linux OS's on it, and they all boot fine with Lilo. There is no partition of the 2nd Linux that lives on the 1st disk, and only the root of the 1st one does, for that matter. Paul

Few ideas
DISCLAIMER: I've haven't take a look at the .dsc (Debian SourCes files, right?) I've been pondering on Debian's future more and more, and I've wondered if: 1) The package system could switch on something more source-based. I mean, there have been a few discussions on optimizing packages. (Debian-i686) On a compile it yourself, the package can hardly be more optimized to your computer. Maybe something CVS-like, with snapshots taken by the package maintainers every time a few major things have been put in and tested enough. Then packages would enter the well-known stable-dist approval tests. On a good architecture, source-packages would eventually be a simple rule-sheet applied to a CVS tree. (Put that binary there, symlink this to that, etc... ) The main idea would be to conceive a single main architecture for easily portable source, to the more and more ports needed by the whole Debian project. (Linux-i386/alpha/sparc... and Hurd, who'll probably someday become Hurd-i386/alpha/sparc... you get the point? ;) ) But then, that can easily become a MAJOR overload on the already hard pressed FTP sites. And probably will need a more powerful database engine running behind apt/dselect/dpkg. And at least a few months to conceive correctly, BEFORE starting to code. But has such a major change some future? 2) Anyone ever thought of Debian (GNU?)/BSD? Is the BSD licence compatible with the Debian policy/requirements? Christian Lavoie [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN: 947212

Booting multiple OS's
I have read the correspondence about this subject already but I think I have a unique situation. My problem is that I cannot boot linux off my hard disk and for some reason I can't seem to create a new boot floppy with the 2.2.1 kernel image. Even when I use bzimage I get an error message saying that the kernel is too big. This also happens when trying to boot from loadlin. Currently, I have IBM Boot Manager on the primary partition of my first physical drive (a SCSI 9.1 GB drive) It is set up to boot either Win98 from the same drive or Linux from an external SCSI jaz drive (2GB). I also have a 2.1 GB ide drive that I store dos files on as well as using this drive to download linux files(while in win 98). I have this drive mounted under /dev/ide in linux. Windows boots fine but when I choose linux the screen goes blank for a second and then the letters LI appear in the upper left hand corner and the machine freezes. I then made a new linux partition on the first physical drive (SCSI) installed all of the root filesystem there and then reconfigured lilo.conf, ran lilo, associated the boot manager with the new partition and had the exact same thing happen at boot time. A friend of mine who is a bit more knowledgable than I as far as linux goes suggested putting the linux root partition on the ide drive. I have the latest version of my system BIOS so I'm not sure if this will help.(it has no problem booting from SCSI devices. Basically the only way I can boot linux is to use the boot floppy I made from the rescue disk (which doesn't allow you to select which kernel you want to boot). This floppy must take at least 5 min to boot. It seems to be uncompressing some files before starting the OS. The reason I am upgrading my kernel is because my modem is not working. My friend seems to think that this is because my current kernel 2.1.36 doesn't support PNP properly. I have run pnpdump and uncommented the proper attributes the cut and paste int isapnp.conf but I get an error message saying that the file cannot be parsed at line 40 this line is where the first real code exists. ie:the first uncommented line. Someone please help!!! I've spent many,many,many hours trying to get this system up and running but at this point it almost doesn't seem worth it. For every one thing I get working (X) two things break, or were already broken(modem and boot problems). Tom Persons
nis
Debian folks, Something very strange is happening with my NIS setup. I'm running potato with the latest version of all the networking software, and for some reason my NIS client (Debian box) now insists on sending continuous network traffic between itself and the NIS server (SunOS 4.1.4 box). Doing nis stop in the /etc/init.d terminates the traffic, but once I do nis start and acces any of the NIS services, the traffic starts up again. I'm talking about continuous traffic on the order of 100 kbytes/sec, which should definitely not be happening. Has anyone seen this problem before?

quota on /var/spool/mail
After some users filled /dev/sda8 which is mounted as /var/spool/mail I introduced quotas. This worked fine up to two weeks ago because a user received a mail greater than his hardlimit. How could this happen? We're using smail 3.2.0.101-4.5 out of the hamm distribution. I observed the process of incoming mails. First the incoming mail is spooled to /var/spool/smail/input and then appended to /var/spool/mail/username, whether or not this exceeds the hardlimit of quota. Every next mail for this user is blocked because of the quota but this one was enough to fill /var/spool/mail. Any suggestions?

Re: quota on /var/spool/mail
I think your logic has a slight flaw. It checks to see if the mailbox IS CURRENTLY over quota, not if it WILL BE over quota AFTER the mail is delivered. In other words, mail comes in, the mailbox is checked to see if it is over quota. It is not so the mail is added. Then next mail arrives. The mailbox is now over quota from the previous mail so no more mail is delivered.

I found it a pain - It wouldn't let me just install individual packages, though I wonder whether some of the modconf stuff could be left out for the initial install. And now imagine the power of Debian combined with an installation routine at least as convenient and user friendly like Redhat's or SuSE's. Debian would be the absolute killer! But oh well, talk is cheap... How about suggesting some improvements, rather than I don't like the Debian install? :) Matthew -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Steward of the Cambridge Tolkien Society Selwyn College Computer Support http://www.cam.ac.uk/CambUniv/Societies/tolkien/ http://pick.sel.cam.ac.uk/ Debian GNU/Hurd - love at first byte

PCI Linksys card in Hamm
Hello all. I gave up on Hamm a few months ago but with Slink almost ready I thought I'd give it another go. I've since rebuilt my system and now have FIC 503+ motherboard with an AMD 300mhz processor. I've run the setup DOZENS of times and pretty much had the install process down to a science. Now I'm having a problem installing my PCI Linksys NIC. It uses the NE2000 driver which requires the IO and IRQ parameters to be specified. From Windoze I've verified the IRQ is 9 and the IO is 6C00. After entering the values (io=0x6C00 irq=9) the system hangs. I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong this time. Any suggestions? BTW - I really don't intend to use Hamm I simply wanted to test my new configuration and get back into the swing of things in anticipation of Slink. So it's not critically that I get things working but it would help me out quite a bit. Hopefully I'll be able to compile a working kernel with Slink (I won't even count the number of failed Hamm attempts). Best wishes and thanks in advance. Cristov Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: suid-root C programmes
Sorry to bug the list with yet another programming problem but ... What permissions on the file do I need to change to allow an ordinary user to run a setuid-root programme ? The programme below compiles and runs if I compile run as root but does not work if run by a user regardless of who compiles it. What am I doing wrong ? [ ... skipped source code ...] If a program is setuid root depends on the file permissions. If you could just become root like you tried by changing the uid in a C-program, then any user could do this and there would be no security in the system. To make a program run as root, do the following: If it is not owned by root yet: $ chown root myprog Then $ chmod +s myprog Now the program will run with uid 0 regardless of who runs it. The setuid function is normally used to drop the root permissions in parts of the program where they are not really needed. This is then done as a security measure.

Hard to answer without knowing more about your mail setup. I assume though that you have a common dialup setup where you fetch mail from an ISP and send outgoing mail via the same ISP. If so, try sending mail to yourself. Look at the from: and sender: headers. Chances are that it is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] where yourmachine isn't listed anywhere in DNS so it doesn't work. Some sites will reject your mail, and nobody will be able to reply to the bogus address either, unless they happen to be logged in on your particular machine. You probably have a an email address at the ISP, right? Now change your smail setup so that smail rewrites your addresses so they seem to come from the ISP's mailserver instead. (man smail, look at /usr/doc/smail, this isn't exactly easy) Also make sure the username is correct. More trickery is necessary if your username on your machine is different from username at the ISP. People should be able to reply after this, and your mail won't be rejected if from/sender point back to the ISP nameserver which is registered in DNS. Helge Hafting

I did not have to provide any parameters, and the card works fine. I have it installed as a module. You might have to play with the plug and play settings on your bios (if any, I had to turn this on and off before it worked the first time to avoid irq conflicts with other cards). == Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or . _ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Re: apt-get segfaults
The problem solved itself: after installing a new kernel (2.2.1 with ATM patches) apt-get suddenly works again. No other change ... A little bit puzzled, Martin. -- Linux 2.2.1 - the Brown Paper Bag release Linux Torvalds on linux-kernel ML
2.2.1
I'm now using 2.2.1 on hamm, also with no problems apart from the need to change the port on /etc/printcap. What software did you upgrade before going to 2.2.1? Are you running anything as modules, and if so how did you configure this? I downloaded 2.2.1 and tried to install it. My ethernet, scsi, cd, and lp were not available (compiled as modules). My root filesystem is on an ide drive, but /usr is on a scsi. I thought this would work with scsi as a module. Are you using kmod? Thanks for any help. == Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or . _ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
