Arranque doble, LILO

UGTrata de modificar tu /etc/lilo.conf por este, y ejecuta nuevamente lilo. TERRIBLE! Se daño mi MBR. Acabo de pasar un TERRIBLE susto cuando no logre desacerme del lilo ni con fdisk /mbr. Por suerte, logre salir del problema transfiriendo el sistema con sys. Uff! Nunca pense que me fuera a sentir tan feliz de ver al W98 cargando! :-) UGDe todas maneras déjame ver el tuyo, a ver que es lo que pasa. Mi lilo.conf es el siguiente: --- boot=/dev/hda2 root=/dev/hda6 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal delay=20 image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only Ese es. Y asi no me funciona, ademas que como puedes ver al parecer solo tiene una opción (label): Linux! Mas o menos creo comprender lo que sucede, el sistema bootea por hda1, pero lilo esta en la boot record de hda2. Ahora, se me ocurre una idea. Recuerdo haber leido en el manual del LILO que podia instalarlo en un disco. Quiza si instalo el LILO en el disco de arranque que me crea la instalación, a lo mejor puedo bootear desde alli pero que cargue el kernel desde el Disco duro. Si esto es posible, (creo que asi hace el boot disk del SUSE) podrias ayudarme a configurarlo asi?, mejor, porque de verdad que no quisiera cometer un error y perder los datos de mi partición W98.

make-kpkg y m'odulos
Tengo un problemilla y en la documentación no encuentro solución. He compilado un núcleo 2.2.0 en un pentium. La secuencia ha sido make xconfig make-kpkg clean LC_ALL=C fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=minitrini.1.0. kernel_image Todo perfecto, parece que funciona. Obtengo el paquete .deb El problema es que el núcleo generado es para un portátil con un 486. Lo envío a esta máquina, y lo instalo. Todo parece que funciona. Pero al rearrancar el portátil con el nuevo núcleo (por cierto, parece que va más rápido) aparecen una serie de mensajes (disculpadme, no los he apuntado) que me dicen que no encuentra los módulos. El núcleo antiguo de este ordenador era un 2.0.34. ¿Cómo puedo generar los módulos para que se copien al instalar el núcleo? Gracias por anticipado.

El núcleo antiguo de este ordenador era un 2.0.34. ¿Cómo puedo generar los módulos para que se copien al instalar el núcleo? Pues como te ha respondido Agustín, los modulos que necesitas ya han sido creados y incluidos en el fichero deb. Lo que probablemente ocurre es que los módulos que cargabas antes por medio de /etc/modules ya no existen en el nuevo kernel (probablemente los quitaste o los incluiste dentro de la imagen y no como módulos). Lo que puedes hacer es borrar todos los módulos que tienes en /etc/modules y dejar solo una línea auto o ir a /lib/modules/2.2.0 a ver que módulos de los que están allí quieres, y incluirlos en /etc/modules (o usa modconf). Bueno eso es lo que yo he hecho hasta 2.0.36 pues nunca compilé nadas mas nuevo, pero me imagino que será la misma cosa. Existe también una opción modules para usar con make-kpkg (igual que usas kernel_image) que te crea los módulos en un paquete deb, pero creo que esa no es la forma de resolver tu problema. Suerte, y te envidio que todavia tengas un 486 que funcione pues el mio con 4Mb lo usaba todavia mucho hasta que murió. Jaime

Distribucion de fuentes en Debian
Hola a todos: Quisiera hacer una consulta sobre la distribución de fuentes de Debian: En el Cd de fuentes de Debian normalmente aparece un fichero con las fuentes originales y otro con modificaciones que realiza Debian sobre las fuentes sobre todo (creo yo ) para compatibilizar temas de búsqueda de librerías o búsqueda de path de ficheros de datos, etc, por la forma que tiene Debian de organizar la información en el disco duro. En los ficheros diff se indican las líneas de código que han cambiado. La pregunta es la siguiente ¿Existe alguna herramienta para actualizar el fuente original con el fichero de diferencias? o ¿estas diferencias las tengo que actualizar a mano en caso de que quiera realizar modificaciones sobre el fuente que ha utilizado Debian (original+diferencias) para realizar la distribución de los binarios?. Un saludo.

xfree-3.3.3, acentos y teclas muertas
Buenas noches, caballeros: Esta tarde he actualizado las xfree-3.3.2 a xfree-3.3.3, con el CD de Pc Actual del mes de enero. Todo ha ido bien, y ha reconocido mi tarjeta (una matrox millennium G200) perfectamente. El caso es que ahora, aunque me siguen funcionando los acentos en las xterm, ya no lo hacen en programas como el netscape 3.01, y lo que es más grave, tampoco funciona la tecla alt, con lo que es imposible sacar la arroba o el pipe. En cuanto a lo primero, imagino que los tiros van por lo de la librería parcheada de Thomas Quinot (hacía tiempo que no aparecía este tema, verdad). Voviendo a instalar esa librería sigue sin funcionar. Pero me preocupa mucho más lo segundo. En principio pensé que era por haber rehecho el XF86Config, pero poniendo los valores que tenía antes tampoco funciona. Lo tengo así: Section Keyboard ProtocolStandard # XkbRulesxfree86 # XkbModelpc101 # XkbLayout es LeftAlt Meta RightAltModeShift ScrollLock ModeLock RightCtlControl XkbDisable EndSection ... y también he probado con: Section Keyboard ProtocolStandard XkbRulesxfree86 XkbModelpc101 XkbLayout es #LeftAlt Meta #RightAltModeShift #ScrollLock ModeLock #RightCtlControl #XkbDisable EndSection y no funciona de ninguna de las dos maneras. ¿Alguna idea? -- Un Saludo Han Solo The Rebel Alliance Conecto, luego existo.

Velocidad del bus AGP
Hola a todos. Resulta que ha llegado la hora de jubilar mi 486 y me he comprado un PII400 que me despeina cada vez que lo arranco. Como lo que he hecho es comprar componentes sueltos y montarlo yo mismo, he encontrado una cosa que me ha extrañado. Según el manual de mi placa base, por defecto la velocidad del bus AGP es de 2/3 de la de la placa, y viene con un aviso de no ponerla a mas de 66Mhz, que podría daña r la tarjeta gráfica. Yo tenía entendido que el bus AGP funciona a 100Mhz, así q ue me extraña bastante la limitación a 66Mhz. ¿alguien sabe cual es la velocidad del bus AGP? ¿Fundiré la tarjeta gráfica si pongo la velocidad del bus en 100Mh z? Por cierto, la placa base es una Asus P2B, con chipset 440BX y la tarjeta gráfic a una Matrox Millennium G200. -- Un Saludo Han Solo The Rebel Alliance Conecto, luego existo.

Re: more ram and larger harddrive then the bios can take
Jeff, I recently had the displeasure of finding out all about limits with disk size. I purchased a 10.1GB IDE disk. Here's the lowdown, gleaned from the in-depth BIOS FAQ at ftp://ftp.wi.leidenuniv.nl:/pub/faqs/bios.faq. boot sectors use the BIOS Int 13H service to read blocks from disks. This call takes a C/H/S address and reads a block for you. This interface allows you to specify at most 256 heads, 1024 cylinders and 63 sectors. Multiply those three numbers * 512 bytes and you'll end up with 8GB. The physical ATA interface allows you to address disks with up to 16 heads, 65535 cylinders, and 63 sectors. ATA devices also allow LBA addressing which simply takes a block number and lets you address 2^28 sectors (137GB). Now, if you look at the limits for the BIOS interface and the physical interface you'll soon see that all kinds of ugly mapping and nastiness get involved. I was never able to get my PC (a 3 year old pentium) to access more than 8.4GB. Even that was only after flashing my ROM to the latest version. I could access the entire drive from both Win98 and Linux if the drive was a secondary (non-boot) drive. However, I needed to remove the other drives from the system so I was stuck. My advice is to read the above FAQ and proceed with caution. Jeff Katcher wrote: Per-Olof Widstrom wrote: I have seen that people get the advise to add a line in lilo.conf that tells how much RAM the system have, if they have more then 64 mb, and that it is possible to have a larger harddirve then the BIOS can handle.

Loading packages from zip drive
I have an old-ish Toshiba laptop (486, 200 mb, no CD) onto which I have loaded the Debian v2.0 base system from the dos partition. I now want to add a few console editing, development (mostly Python and C), and utility packages; to this end I've copied the relevant binary-i package directories (and packages) from an Infomagic CDR (11/98 ish) as well as the files Package and Package.gz onto an Iomega zip drive, which I have mounted. I run through dselect and select the zip directory, select the packages I want, resolve (i trust) dependency issues and set it going. The process appears to be collecting information about the packages but doesn't get very far at all, and after a while finds too many errors ... and returns to the dselect menu without installing the packages. I've looked through the installation, faq, and tutorial documents, but haven't found anything helpful on the topic. Does anybody know the solution? Thanks Chris Reay
urgent help needed--can't start a shell!
Hi, In an earlier plea for help, I mentioned that after using dselect, I ran into some dependency problems, which also screwed up bash/sh. It was suggested that I use the rescue floppy and run dpkg manually to fix things up -- unfortunately, right now, the rescue floppy isn't helping at all, because it mounts the hd and runs stuff from there... I get an error like the following when trying to login as root: login[]: can't login to /dev/tty1 for user root -- Illegal seek How can I fix my system without having to run stuff from the hd? Can I somehow boot a shell from a floppy, mount my hd, and then run dkpg from there? I tried booting the rescue, loading a root disk into a ramdrive, and then mounting my harddrive, but I can't run dpkg because it can't find any of the shared libraries! (like sysinfo or something like that) Please, ANY help would be appreciated... Eric

Multi-CD install
Hi, The dselect interface now has an 'Access' option of 'multi-cd'. What is this? I've heard that as of Slink, the Debian binary packages can no longer fit in one CD.

Re: Sound Board
On Mon, 22 Mar 1999, Ed Cogburn wrote: With 2.2, the config of sound drivers occurs outside the kernel config. You can no longer build the sound modules into the kernel, they must be built as modules. With sb16, for example I need a config line like: options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 in /etc/modules.conf. The above doesn't apply to 2.0 kernels, so your problem might not be related to configuration of the sound module. If you are using a 2.2 kernel then see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Introduction. Isn't it just the opposite? Under 2.0, I've always configured and compiled the sound module separately, but when I used Slackware 3.0, the kernel (v2.0.27) shipped with it had the SB driver compiled in, although I never succeeded in configuring the sound driver in the kernel config. Under 2.2, there's no opportunity for configuring and/or compiling the sound module on its own, it's just like any other standard kernel driver. Too bad that I couldn't get it working with my AD1848-based Aztech card, nor could I compile the old driver for 2.2, so I'm still back on 2.0.37. Andras

Re: sound
In tere anyway to compile your kernel without have to use modules to enable sound If you have a non-pnp card, yes. For example, I've played with the same card as Doug for a while, and just gave up after a while. Found a different sound card, SB16. It wasnt pnp, and after a quick kernel recompilation it works fine. I compiled the driver into kernel. How did you do that, since make [menu/x]config of 2.2.x never suggest the Sounblaster stuff. I understood from previous discussions, that one have to use modules for sound to work under 2.2.x. Is so, where are the sound modules sources ? (I have a SB PCI64 card, non PnP). I got the kernel-source-2.2.1 package from Slink and found nothing. Do I have to get another package ? I gave alsa-source package (from Slink) a try, by it did'nt compile under my 2.2.1 source tree.

I do not want to give any permission to any other users. You cannot do this directly with the unix group system. I would do the following: give the files in the directory folder1 the permissions 660, and make them owned by group1. Then write a small C-program that is setguid group1, and does the following: * check if the person who runs it is a member of group2 (use getuid, getgid, and getgroups, see the info page of libc) * if not -- exit else -- cat the requested file so that users of group 2 could do something like cd folder1 viewit file | less If you are not into C-programming, an alternative would be to have a cron-script running that copies the files from folder1 to a second folder, and do a chgrp group2 and a chmod 640 on the files.

Re: Network configuration
True. Not compiling network support in might cause the same problems as not compiling in the device for the root file system, IE: not being able to boot. What I meant was that at some point, it is possible to make the kernel too big and then SOMETHINGS need to be left out. But this is probably not a problem for the average desktop configuration. But for a server/firewall/router/raid/SMP monster it COULD happen. However you would then leave as modules ONLY stuff that was NOT required at init time. Then only thing I leave as a module on my system is the sound card, and then only because it is PNP and MUST be loaded AFTER init runs ISAPNP before the modules are loaded. ---Shaun Lipscombe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes this is true for stuff that you dont use night and day, like iso9660 support for instance.

Couldn't imoprtant binaries that could stop a machine from rebooting be statically linked to avoid problems like this ? Well, I am not sure about that. Once I installed the new libc6, it didn't seem that dpkg was installing things properly anymore (again, I was installing guile 1.3, so the other stuff installed was libncurses, slib, libguile, and of course, guile itself). I didn't have any experience with this, so I brushed it off as dependency problems of some sort.

It wasnt pnp, and after a quick kernel recompilation it works fine. I compiled the driver into kernel. How did you do that, since make [menu/x]config of 2.2.x never suggest the Sounblaster stuff. Oh? Then how did I do it, then? I'm glad you asked, so I'll tell you. (I never use make xconfig, so this assumes you're using menuconfig or that they aren't different.) Go into Sound and select Sound Card Support. Select OSS Sound Modules. You should be given the option of choosing 100% Sound Blaster Compatables and, if you tell it to build it in to the kernel, it will give you the option to set the parameters for the card.

recovering trashed /var
I trashed my /var partition (doh!) and now the machine won't boot. Now I really wish that packages would do something sensible when they can't find what they're looking for in /var (be it a checkpoint file, a directory to put logfiles in, or whatever). *sigh* Is there some way I can reconstruct it? Failing that, can someone mail me a tar file of the directories so that I've got a bootable system..? tar zcvf - /var | uuencode var.tar.gz | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now unzipping someone else's /var hierarchy isn't going to provide a complete solution. Can I get a list of what belongs in /var from the packaging information..? As a relative newcomer to Debian I could do with some hand-holding if this is indeed possible.

installing a piece of debian software onto a non-debian linux system
Hi all, I'm using DsTool 2.0 for linux on a university system (running redhat, I think). As debian is carrying a 2.0.3 DsTool I'm wondering how easy it is to download that and use it on the non-debian system here. The .deb suffix slightly frightens me from this point of view. If you could please respond directly to me as well as to the list I would appreciate that as I am not on the list.

The printer (HPOffice JetPro 1150) is installed on another machine running Bill's stuff. It seems it is possible to access the printer via NetBios. I read the doc comming with Samba and tried to configure smb.conf.

Some servers insist that these be in uppercase * I have two questions : 1. Is it necessary to run a Samba Client for Windows on the machine with the printer, or the Windows95 software is enough ? No, no Samba Client (what would that *be*?) is necessary, but you do need to set up the printer for sharing. Right-click the printer in Windows Explorer and go into Properties It's easy. (Don't take offence if you've already done this... :-)) 2. How must I configure my machine to access the other's printer ? The appropriate command to see if you're seeing the share would be: smbclient -L //SERGE then smbclient //SERGE/printersharename -P to connect to it as a printer service. After you enter a password (if you've set it up that way, otherwise use the -N switch) *in uppercase*, you should get a special prompt at which you can enter printer commands. Typing 'h' at this point will get you a list of valid commands.

no kernel source

Re: no kernel source
Question 1.. How do I unpack the source code so that everything falls down to the appropriate directories?? Grab a kernel tarball, untar it in /tmp, then move the created linux dir to /usr/src/kernel-source-version. Then make a symlink in /usr/src called linux and point it to the source you intend to use. So: $ tar zxvf linux-2.2.3.tar.gz $ cp -a linux /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.3 $ cd /usr/src $ ln -s kernel-source-2.2.3 linux Question 2.. I am currently using 2.0.32 and I want to recompile my kernel. Would it later become a BIG PROBLEM if I installed the source code for a newer kernel and compiled it on top of my 2.0.32 kernel? What else do I need to upgrade in order to get my system to run properly?? The machine I am typing this on has a 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 kernel on it. There is nothing to worry about. If you really want a 2.0.x kernel, use 2.0.36. It clears up a few problmes from the older ones.
