Re: Sincronizacion horaria mediante ntp
Hola. Esta mañana slug.ctv.es estaba caido, por lo que mi sistema ha arrancado con la hora mal. Puede alguien sugerirme otros servidores cercanos. Supongo que en el ntp.conf se pueden poner varios ? En http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock1.htm puedes encontrar una lista tremenda de servidores NTP publicos. Yo uso ntps1-0.uni-erlangen.de (existen tambien ntps1-1 y ntps1-2) de la universidad de Erlangen-Nuernberg de Alemania en una red que administro. Solo esta a unos 12 saltos de router de CTV. Aunque en casa he empezado usando black-ice.cc.vt.edu con rdate que usa el servicio time (puerto 37), que no es igual que ntp (puerto 123). Es curioso que en clock.osf.org, de la Open Software Fundation, requieran que solicites permiso para sincronizar con ellos. -- 03/17 Vanguard I launched, 1958.

Los pasos que doy aqui suponen que montastes todas las particiones y que tu estructura esta en /target, es importante que muentes todos las particiones que hiciste y exactamente en el punto que estan asigandos, para guiarte puedes ver el archi fstab : # cat /target/etc/fstab Una vez la estructura bien montada edita el archivo /etc/ld.so.conf, # ae /etc/ld.so.conf (no estoy seguro si es ae o edit) e incluye las siguientes lineas al final /target/lib /targe/usr/lib (no creo que necesites mas, en todo casi si de nuevo da el problema de falta de bibliotecas puedes copiar del archivo /target/etc/ld.so.conf precediendo por /target). Una vez modificado el archivo tienes que actualizarlo. # /target/sbin/ldconfig Pronto ahora las bibliotecas de tu disco estaran visibles para el loader. Como sugerido previante puedes instalar lo paquetes usando # dpkg --install --root camino/paquete.deb Si esto ultimo no funcionar, puedes usar el ar (¿Archive Recorder?), asi : # cd /target/tmp # /target/usr/bin/ar x camino/paquete.deb data.tar.gz con esto deve crearse un archivo data.tar.gz que contiene los archivos del paquete, normalmente los binarios.

login shell
Hola, estoy un poco liado del modo en que funcionan las shell. Si el login lo hago como usuario horacio, el prompt que obtengo es siempre: $ sin que indique nada más. Yo pensé que sería el bash ya que bash siempre va con el signo $, pero: $ bash homega:~$ y aquí resulta que las opciones que pueda tener en .bashrc me funcionan. O sea, que antes estaba en otra shell... ¿sh? (aunque la primera login shell que aparece en /etc/shells es `ash'... pero no puedo cambiar a ash invocándolo como `ash' desde la línea de comandos ... ¿porque no es una shell interactiva?). ¿Se puede hacer que el login te meta directamente en bash? Y de otro modo, ¿cómo puedo hacer que la shell del login lea ~/.bashrc? El man bash dice que cuando bash es invocado como login shell, primero lee /etc/profile, luego ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login y ~/.profile, y al salir lee ~/.bash_logout (si existe). Bueno, aquí no dice que lee ~/.bashrc, sólo si es invocada como shell no de login... ¿quiere eso decir que en realidad el login es bash y no otra? Ni ~/bash_login, ni ~/.profile, ni ~/bash_logout existen... Lo único que veo es que hay una diferencia entre el bash si es de login o si es interactivo (si se invoca desde la consola), ya que el primero no lee ~/.bashrc. Por lo demás, un lío, a ver si alguien me puede aclarar algo.

Minha duvida a este respeito é a seguinte o meu sistema ta configurado para uma linha telefonica de discagem por tom mas a linha que eu uso é de discagem por pulso(é uma linha meio velha) Como eu faço pra mudar isto? Que programa você usa para discar? O que você tem que fazer é adicionar a string ATP à inicialização do modem, mas a maneira de fazer isso depende do programa. Se você usar o wvdial, você deve editar o arquivo /etc/wvdial.conf; lá você vai achar algumas linhas começando com INIT; por exemplo, o meu tem: Init1 = ATZ1 Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 C1 D2 +FCLASS=0 Init3 = ATS36=7 S48=7 S11=55 S10=60 S9=15 M0 (não são as configurações padrão, eu tive que fazer uma certa violência pra conciliar meu modem jurásico com minha linha telefônica cretácea). Nesse caso você adicionaria: Init4 = ATP Se seu arquivo só tiver Init1 e Init2, você adiciona Init3, se você já tiver Init1, Init2, Init3, Init4, adicione Init5, e assism por diante. Você também pode modificar uma das outras linhas (exceto a que contiver o ATZ) acrescentando o T, no meu caso seria: Init3 = ATS36=7 S48=7 S11=55 S10=60 S9=15 M0 T Otra opção é: Dial Command = ATDP (que é o que eu fiz no meu, mas a opção do Init4 é preferível).

win-printer??
Hello all. I have just recently successfully installed Debian 2.0 (Hamm) from the disks in a book bought at Borders. I have run into a problem with my HP Deskjet 722c printer, a printer I am very happy with on the dos/w95 side of my box. Apparently it is a win-printer which I did not know existed, i.e. it depends on the operating system for some of its functionality. So, no printing from Linux. I had heard once of a reverse engineering attempt to get a driver that would work. I'm trying again to find out if such an attempt has been made, or maybe is successful. But, I also am curious about the 'legality' of such a thing. I'm guessing it is legal, even if HP doesn't like it, since I'm assuming the reverse engineering is being done to determine critical info such that a driver can be written non-proprietarily from scratch. I would be interested in anyone's thoughts on these matters. Thanks. msc _ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

Re: Subject: Potato, sendmail, glibc 2.1, and libdb2
potato's sendmail and glibc 2.1 seem to get along fine (at least on this
box) ! Those of you with problems all seem to have also installed the newer
libdb2
I was fortunate in that my socks access died, and I have been unable to
download/install libdb2 ;-}
I see in the sendmail-8.9.2 changelog that this was done:
Support Berkeley DB 2.6.4 API change
This is the version now in potato
Unfortunately, the libdb2 in slink is 2.4.14, and that is the library
sendmail is linked against.
I'm now in kind of a mess in that I've got my developement machine
running glibc2.1, and
have several changes in various stages of completion in sendmail ;-{
If someone who still has a slink system would install libdb2 2.6.4 (if
possible), and do an NMU - I think that'd get people going until my
updates are clean, and I get socks working again (anyone tried dante,
I'm thinking of packaging it) ;-{
Since the new libc6 says it supplied libdb2, I used dpkg to reinstall
the latest potato libc6, put the libdb2 on hold and all seems to be
working fine again.
The wall command is broken, but I have no idea what got it.

E: Line 3 in package file /var/state/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_potat o_main_binary-i386_Packages is too long.(2) I tried getting distribution from different sites -- no luck. I looked at the file mentioned. Line 3 is a normal line. I did apt-get clean to start over. I get the same message regardless of whether I download main, non-free, or contrib sections of the dist. I tried them all separately -- same result. The message seems unhelpful to me. Does anyone have a clue as to what's happening and how to fix it? I'm not sure what version of apt I have. That's one of things I was trying to upgrade. Thanks, JEB
Downgrading to Slink
Ijust read the Debian Weekly News and saw that more trouble is on the way (in the sense that more modules are going to be broken). Anyway, I'm running potato 2.2.3 and would like to downgrade to the stable version of slink, but do not have the slightest clue on going about and doing it. I would appreciate it if anyone can point me to a how-to or could give me some advice on how to start the process. once again thank you for any feedback. -- Emil Soleyman-Zomalan Student University of California - Berkeley

Re: win-printer??
The ghostscript printer compatibility page http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/printer.html has probably the best collection of information on printer drivers, but unfortunately doesn't supply any helpful information for the 722c with Linux.

Apparently it is a win-printer which I did not know existed, i.e. it depends on the operating system for some of its functionality. So, no printing from Linux.

But, I also am curious about the 'legality' of such a thing. I'm guessing it is legal, even if HP doesn't like it, since I'm assuming the reverse engineering is being done to determine critical info such that a driver can be written non-proprietarily from scratch.

Trying to understand Packages[.gz] files

I suspect it's 1), because dselect in particular shows guff about packages I've never downloaded but that are described in the Packages file (which I have downloaded). Any help appreciated Lloyd

Slink install disks / SCSI AHA-294x controller conflict?
As a lab exercise for a course that I teach, I have in the past had my students install and configure Debian using floppies to get the base system up and running. These same systems, however, do not boot using the slink disks. The system locks up in the boot sequence after downloading SCSI instructions to the AHA-2940w SCSI controller at id=0. The last line on the console is: (SCSI 0) Downloading sequencer code... 412 instructions downloaded. Then nothing.

samba: Operation not permitted (was: Re: vfat - cp: file: Operation not permitted)
Hello, Some time ago, there was discussion of the Operation not permitted error on FAT partitions, and someone suggested the `quiet' option. Does such an option exist for Samba? (smbfs) ... It comes from the fact that cp tries to set some permissions on the destination file. That is actually not possible for VFAT. ... (I would prefer VFAT to silently ignore that) Hamish Moffatt: Yes, quiet in the options line does this IIRC. zip for example encounters the same problem when creating a zip on FAT/VFAT, and removes the created zip file! Most annoying. I ask because I'd like to be able to use `mv' to move files. If it can't set permissions on the destination, mv behaves like cp.

Any opinions are welcome :) How about the best of both worlds, download the orig.tar.gz, the dsc and the diff.gz files and make your own packages. dpkg-source -x packagefoo.dsc cd into the created directory debian/rules binary Then you can install the debs like you had downloaded them.

I hate to ask, but... why??? I duplicated this for the sake of making

Because my friend and I wanted to do a little benchmarking to compare the

slower, at least ! But, we didn't look too smart after it created over 10,000
subdirectories and that we didn't know how we were going to get rid of them.
My problem is that there is now too many subdirectories (10,000) and rm said
Memory exhausted when I type
rm -rf x
Does anyone know of a C script which can suppress all these directories ?
Thanks.
This should do it but it'll take forever
#!/bin/sh
while [ -d 'x' ] ; do
mv x/x x1
rmdir x
mv x1 x
done
just put that in a text file, chmod it to 755 and run it.
Good luck.
Thank you, there's a C one from the other person that is a little faster than
the bash, but I never thought of this method.

Re: Trying to understand Packages[.gz] files
In foo.debian-user, you wrote: I think this got lost - apologies if this is its second time around. I'm installing Debian gradually; until I get it online I have Windows, in its own partition, set up for Internet use. I use Windows to download Debian packages I'm interested in onto my hard drive, creating a partial mirror of the Debian distribution; I then install those packages by accessing the Windows partition from Debian. What's the significance of Packages (or Packages.gz) files in this case? 1) Does dpkg/dselect/apt assume that all packages listed in a Packages file are available on my hard drive? If so, should I manually create a stripped-down Packages file that describes only the few dozen packages I've downloaded? Yes, and yes. Use dpkg-scanpackages to create the new Packages.gz file.

Replacing bash with ash as /bin/sh symlinked shell
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Because of recent discussion on here about disaster recovery someone made a suggestion of installing ash and symlinking /bin/sh to it instead of bash. I've done that on both a recent Potato system and an up-to-date Slink system. So far I've not noticed anything breaking, only a slight dip (1-2Mb) in RAM usage. This is most noticable on my Slink system since it is on a laptop with only 20Mb. For the record, bash is about 2.5 times the size of ash in memory. For those non-interactive shells, that helps out a lot. :) - -- Steve C.

Documentation suggestion (was Re: Slink upgrade and xwindows)
I have to admit, there is a bit of truth to this, alot of people just don't have the time to read 18 different documents in 18 different locations. Man pages, info pages, FAQs, HOWTOs, mini-HOWTOs, READMEs, INSTALL docs, package descriptions... it is a bit daunting. I do feel that anyone installing anything shoud be up for some reading, but just how much reading is the question. I'm not even going to think about complaining about the amount of documentation, coming from systems that have zip, I know from experience how helpful good documentation can be. But I wonder if maybe there is a better way to organize the volumunous information given to us in a standard, easy to use, heirarchial fashion. What about this: for a start make sure that every package has a file in /usr/doc/package name that points to the available documentation, like * manual page blurp.1: short overview of command line options * info blurp.info.gz: extensive discussion of all options, and some examples * http://www.blurp.org: web site dedicated to blurp * see also the blurp-doc package In a similar vain it would be very helpful to have a file that lists configuration files that have an impact on the package, like this. /etc/conf.blurp /var/lib/blurp/blurp.history HTH, Eric Meijer -- E.L.

The short answer is yes. The how is here: I asked about making a boot disk. I got one reply from Peter Berlau. The suggestion was to copy my kernel to the floppy device, run rdev on /dev/floppy to set the root and swap partitions, to set the initial file system to read only, and a few other things. This worked, and solves the immediate problem of getting back into the system. The question I really wanted answer to concerned the possibility of running LILO from a boot install or other linux floppy with the partition having the kernel mounted, to write boot tracks to the floppy. The ideas is to make the floppy boot the kernel on the hard drive. This boots faster.
