Re: ¿Como se instala?
Hola Ahora tengo en mis manos el CD que regaló PCACTUAL en el mes de Febrero y quisiera que me dijerais como puesto instalar el programa KDE. Tengo que deciros que mi equipo no tiene tarjeta de sonido Gracias anticipadas En la distribucion slink (no me acuerdo bien donde, tal vez en el directorio graphics o en x11) estan los .deb para instalar kde. Ademas hay que instalar la libreria qt que tambien esta en la distribucion (en contrib). Hernan Mauricio Velasquez Ingenieria de Sistemas y Computacion Universidad de los Andes Santafe de Bogota, Colombia
¿ Como se instala ?
Yo lo he instalado de la siguiente manera: He tenido que bajarme las siguientes librerías de ftp://ftp.rediris.es: de la distribución slink libstdc2.9++ creo que del main en libs o en base qt1g 1.42 apartado non-free libjpegg62 qt que viene creo en el cd de febrero (esta creo que venia en formato RPM y con el programa alien lo convertí en formato deb. Puede que alguna de estas librerias las tengas ya instaladas. Luego hay que instalar los paquetes *.deb de KDE. Tienen un orden, que creo que es el siguiente: kdelibs0g kdesupport kdebase y a partir de aquí los paquetes que quieras. Para probar si arranca todo bien, puedes emplear el siguiente método (un poco cutre). xinit (creo que arranca el servidor X sin gestor de ventanas). Cuando arranque el servidor te aparecerá una ventan y tecleas kde Si todo va bien, te aparecerá algo parecido al KDE. El programa te pide algo de configuración y te crea varios subdirectorios con carpetas. A mí al principio se quejaba de que no arrancaba kfm. Es preciso hacer enlaces simbólicos de la librería de la que se queja porque parece que la llama con otro nombre (en /usr/lib un enlace simbolico de libjpeg.so.6 a libjpeg.so.62.0.0). Para arrancar con startx simplemente hay que poner una linea en el fichero /etc/X11R6/window-manager del estilo /usr/X11R6/bin/kde (me parece que es aquí donde está el fichero kde de arranque). Yo sigo teniendo algun problema con alguna librería como libkdeui, etc. Que supongo que con algún enlace simbólico se arreglará. Para saber donde busca el programa esta librería yo uso la herramienta strace -pprocesoshell -f -oficherodesalida kfm kill pid del comando strace También tengo un problema con el programa midnight-comander (mc). Yo lo uso mucho y con este gestor de ventanas cuando lo arranco no funcionan bien las teclas de inicio y fin (muy útiles para moverme por el arblo de directorios o si estoy viendo el contenido de algún fichero para ir al principio o al final. Este problema no se como arreglarlo y aprovecho por si alguien sabe como podría arreglarlo. Sin embargo las teclas insert, supr, Repag y Avpag me funcionan bien. Sin embargo con el gestor de ventanas fvwm95 todas estas teclas me funcionan correctamente con el mc. De los gestores de ventanas que he visto, el KDE es el que más me ha gustado. Saludos. (y suerte). Es la 3ª vez que he intentado cargar la KDE (las dos primeras no lo conseguí.
Re: LI... (LO)
Felipe Sanchez wrote: Holas, A proposito de dificultades con el arranque, instale hamm en un pc que resucite de los trastos viejos. El asunto es que al tratar de arrancar directamente desde la particion debian, solo alcanza a decir LI... donde debiera decir LILO y despues toda la catarata de mensajes de arranque, y ahi se queda. Arranca correctamente desde disquete. Si miras la documentacion de LILO, encontraras mas detalles de ese error. Concretamente en /usr/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz dice textualmente lo siguiente: LI The first stage boot loader was able to load the second stage boot loader, but has failed to execute it. This can either be caused by a geometry mismatch or by moving /boot/boot.b without running the map installer. Lo mas probable es que el error se deba a un geometry mismatch. Eso te puede pasar (y de hecho a mi me ha pasado) con discos grandes, en particular con el disco de 8 Gygas. Veo que has instalado Hamm. Por casualidad el kernel que utilizas no sera el 2.0.36? Para ver si efectivamente ese es el problema, prueba a ejecutar como root cfdisk /dev/hd_lo_que_sea (el disco de 8 gigas) y mira a ver que informacion de cilindros, sectores y demas te da (geometria del disco). Despues salte del programa sin hacer nada y rearranca el PC. Al arrancar entra en el menu de la BIOS y mira a ver que informacion te da del disco. Si ves que la geometria que da la BIOS no coincide con la que te da Linux, entonces el problema es efectivamente de geometry mismatch. Solucion: Utiliza la opcion linear en la configuracion del LILO y asunto resuelto (a mi me resolvio el problema). La configuracion es un disco de 200 M como primer master, es el disco original (en realidad no es el original ahora que lo pienso, pero lleva tiempo en ese pc :) que no esta muy bueno, a veces hay que darle unos golpecitos para que empiece a rotar. En ese disco no tengo mas que el viejo DOS y lo puse como primer master porque por alguna razon no funciona como segundo master. Luego como segundo master un disco de 8Gb con una particion de 2Gb para W98 en los primeros cilindros, y el resto para hamm y swap. No he experimentado nada con la configuracion, asi que seguramente con alguna combinacion consiga que arranque directamente del disco duro, pero me parecio leer aqui que LILO no arranca desde un segundo master, es cierto? Que yo sepa esto no es cierto. Yo tengo dos discos duros. En el primer master el W95 y en el segundo master el Linux y jamas he tenido ningun problema para arrancar bien uno bien otro.

Muchas gracias a todos. Efectivamente, el servidor SVGA de las xfree 3.3.3 traga con esta tarjeta. Asi que lo que hice fue bajarme los paquetes de la Slink, instalarlos, pero no configurar las X. Despues me baje el .tgz correspondiente al servidor SVGA de las xfree 3.3.3 de un mirror cercano y a pelo cambie el servidor SVGA (solamente) de slink por el nuevo y ... ya'ta.

fallo de seguridad
Supongo que muchos lo habreis leido, pero ahi va... The recent release of the Linux 2.2.4 kernel fixed a remote denial of service problem in the IP fragment handling code. If you are running a Linux kernel between 2.1.89 and 2.2.3, it would probably be a good idea to get the latest version. In case that isn't feasible for you, I've included a patch in this post. The impact of this problem is that a remote attacker can effectively disable a target's IP connectivity. However, for the attack to succeed, the attacker will have to deliver several thousand packets to the target, which can take up to several minutes. A quick exploit and the patch are appended to the end of this post. (evidentemente no incluyo el exploit) (...) The other component of the problem is that the call to allocate a new entry in the routing cache does a check to see if the hashtable that comprises the cache is at a saturated state. If it is, it proceeds to do a garbage collection. If the number of entries in the cache, after this garbage collection, is still higher than the threshold, then dst_alloc() will fail. So, if we generate enough stranded entries in the routing cache (4096 in 2.2.3) via our malicious frags, then all further calls to dst_alloc will fail. -- Jose Mari Mor Fabregat Debian Hamm [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.0.36
¿Apt permite actualizar con varios CD's?
Hola a todos. Pues eso. Tengo la slink de datom (si no hubieran tardado tanto los de id-agora, tal vez la hubiera pillado de allí. Por cierto, ¿incluyen contrib y non-free? eso no queda claro en la web). Y pretendo actualizar mi hamm. En la documentación del apt no he encontrado ninguna referencia a que se puedan utilizar varios CD's, pero se supone que las herramientas de instalación ya están preparadas para ello. Si no se puede, entonces habrá que hacerlo con dselect y el método multi-cd. ¿Alguien lo puede confirmar? Además, en los cd's de datom introducen otro método (multi-cd2) porque tienen los directorios .../main/binary-i386 y .../main/binary-all separados, cada uno en un cd, y parece ser que el multi-cd no funciona bien ¿Esta separación la han hecho ellos, o la imagen oficial de los CD's está así también? Bueno, pues eso. Espero ansioso vuestras respuestas para enfrascarme en la actualización a slink. Gracias

KDE 1.1 y slink
Hola de nuevo: He intentado instalar KDE 1.1 en slink (para ello he tenido que instalar previamente la version 1.42 de la libreria qt que hay en potato ya que la 1.40 que viene con slink no le sirve) y aparte de un comportamiento raro del movimento de las ventanas (al maximizarlas, y cuando se mueven con el cursor de raton lo hacen a saltos) muchos programas dan un error en una libreria.

Instalando slink: ¿poner antes el 2º CD?
Hola a todos: Relacionado con el tema de apt ahi va una pregunta. Que importancia tiene en el momento de realizar la instalación el hecho de poner el 2º CD segun se dice en el README.multicd: Multicd installation instructions = Once you have installed the base system and rebooted your machine, you will need to go through and configure parts of the system (root password etc.). After this you will be presented with dselect, the standard package installation program on a Debian system. If you wish to use the multicd installation method, as is the default for CD-based installs, you should be careful to insert the LAST BINARY CD of your set when you start, e.g.: if you have a single CD, insert that single CD if you have a 2-CD binary set, insert CD#2 if you have an official 4-CD set, insert CD#2 (#3 and #4 should contain source only) etc. README.multicd Yo la instalacion la he hecho de las dos formas (una de ellas sin seleccionar perfiles) y no detectado ningun problema. Bueno, uno. Cuando le puse primero el segundo (como indica el fichero README.multicd) y le dije que procediera a instalar, me pidió que pusiera el primero. ¿En que quedamos?

Cuando entro en el dselect, pongo el cd2 de binarios, elijo multi-cd, y luego, donde hay que poner el path para cada cosa, no hay manera de que me reconozca nada de nada. Acabo de ver un emilio diciendo que el para hacer ésto, siendo de Datom la distribución, se llama multi-cd2. Cuando tenga un poco de tiempo miraré a ver por cual cd anda, lo instalaré y probaré a ver que tal. Aunque la verdad... Hasta ahora la instalación con dselect era espartana y sencilla con matices, pero ahora con dos cd's... manda huevos. Gracias por todo. Have a nice day ;-) TooManySecrets

If I am getting this right, you have a Soundblaster 16 *Plug and Play* ?
In any case, that's what I have. If that is correct, you might need to
compile all the sound parts of the kernel as modules because you need to
configure the PnP card before you can actually have the kernel support it.
This is usually done with a tool like isapnp (the isapnptools package).
I'm not saying that the following is the right way or the only way to do
it, especially because I never was able to get the FM synthesizer to work.
(If anyone has a clue about getting the synthesizer/midi part to work,
please respond to this mailing-list!!)
This is how I did it:
First, I got the isapnptools package installed.
Then I ran pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf and uncommented the appropriate
lines in it. Here's the essential part of my isapnp.conf (comment- and
blank lines removed):
(READPORT 0x0203)
(ISOLATE PRESERVE)
(IDENTIFY *)
(VERBOSITY 2)
(CONFLICT (IO FATAL)(IRQ FATAL)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) # or WARNING
(CONFIGURE CTL00f0/-1 (LD 0
(INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 1))
(DMA 1 (CHANNEL 5))
(IO 0 (SIZE 16) (BASE 0x0220))
(IO 1 (SIZE 2) (BASE 0x0330))
(IO 2 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0388))
(NAME CTL00f0/-1[0]{Audio })
(ACT Y)
))
(CONFIGURE CTL00f0/-1 (LD 1
(IO 0 (SIZE 1) (BASE 0x0200))
(NAME CTL00f0/-1[1]{Game})
(ACT Y)
))
(WAITFORKEY)
In other words, I uncommented the first block for every device (I left the
comment lines marked with `#', though... ;-), and I also uncommented the
(ACT Y) part.
Now, when I boot (or run isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf), I get the following:
lspci not found, so PCI resource conflict not checked
Board 1 has Identity 6d ff ff ff ff f0 00 8c 0e: CTL00f0 Serial No -1
[checksum 6d]
CTL00f0/-1[0]{Audio }: Ports 0x220 0x330 0x388; IRQ5 DMA1 DMA5
--- Enabled OK
CTL00f0/-1[1]{Game}: Port 0x200; --- Enabled OK
(The PCI stuff is because I don't have PCI slots in this old 486DX33.)
The 'Game' part is not really necessary - I don't have a joystick anyway.
If running the isapnp didn't work properly, you might need to either
select a different 'block' from the pnpdump, or different settings for the
IRQ, DMA or IO (as suggested by pnpdump in the comments).
Note that if your kernel already has the sound support compiled in (or the
modules for the sound is loaded), isapnp might have problems allocating
the IRQs, DMAs or IOs because the kernel already is occupying them.
And now we're ready to compile the sound support into the kernel.
I did this with modules. Here's the sound part:
bakh:/usr/src/linux# grep -e CONFIG_SOUND .config|grep -v -e '^#'
CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m
CONFIG_SOUND_SB=m
CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=m
CONFIG_SOUND_SOFTOSS=m
CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812=m
CONFIG_SOUND_VMIDI=m
The four last lines (ADLIB, SOFTOSS, YM3812 and VMIDI) are just my
attempts to get the midi/FM synth stuff working, you don't really need
those. If you're wondering what I really selected in make menuconfig:
M Sound card support
M OSS sound modules
M 100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support
M Generic OPL2/OPL3 FM synthesizer support
M SoftOSS software wave table engine
M FM synthesizer (YM3812/OPL-3) support
M Loopback MIDI device support
(Again, the last four are only my failed attempts to get the FM synth/midi
stuff working)
The kernel compiled and installed should give (I left out the
non-essential modules) these sound modules in /lib/modules/2.2.3/misc:
soundcore.o sb.o uart401.o sound.o
Having these modules in place, I created a file: /etc/modutils/sound
and put these lines in there:
alias char-major-14 sb
post-install sb /root/bin/volume 66
options soundcore -k
options sound -k dmabuf=1 traceinit=1
options uart401 -k
options sb -k io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
The post-install line loads a volume program that sets the volume to 66%
since I don't have any volume controls on my cheapo speakers. You could
do the same, but you'd need to compile the volume-tarball or use some
other utility (like aumix).
Then I ran update-modules (So it was added into the /etc/conf.modules
automatically).
Then rebooted.
Now upon boot, isapnp should be run automatically, and depending on what
is in your /etc/modules, the sound modules might be loaded automatically.
In any case, a cat /dev/sndstat should load them. You should get output
like this (when the modules are loaded):
Sound initialization started

Re: bash: /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc,
Environment variable definitions and such that should be set for ALL users should be added to /etc/profile. Since there's no assurance that all users will have their logon shell set to bash (unless, of course, it's your own home system), it's probably wise to stick with traditional bourne-shell commands, and avoid any commands specific to bash/ksh/zsh/whatever. On a per-user basis, ~/.bash_profile is where you place commands to be executed when you invoke a login shell. Stuff you want for interactive, non-login shells should be added to ~/.bashrc. Of course, this set is specific to the bash shell, and will differ if another shell is selected. On Thu, Mar 25, 1999 at 01:52:41AM +0100, Pere Camps wrote: Hi!

I don't really know much about it, but on my 486, their is an option in the BIOS to set the line. You might try changing this option in the Bios at boot and see if it helps. The original 8088 had 20 address lines called A0 through A19. This allowed it to directly access 1024k of memory. (It was split 640k/384k as RAM/ROM. It could have been worse, my understanding is that the original plan was to split it half and half. Oh, and the 8086 had 19 address lines called A1 through A19. I digress.) Anyway, on the 8086's and 8088's you could access the bottom 65520 bytes of RAM by setting the segment register to the very top of RAM and using an offset larger than the amount of RAM above the start of the segment register. Anyway, along comes the 80286. It has, in effect, 24 address lines (A0 through A23) for a total allowed memory of 16,384k. That broke those programs that relied upon the memory wrapping around. Since they all ran under DOS and since DOS was limited to 1024k, PC manufacturers put a control in which would not pass the A20 line through to the RAM, which had the effect of simulating the behavior of the 8086/8. That's what the A20 gate is about. You could run some DOS programs with the A20 gate disabled that you couldn't run with it enabled. You, of course, want to run a protected-mode operating system, where relying on tricks like that simply cannot work. Since many people also wanted to run protected mode software, (to do things like loadhi and with extended memory and suchlike) the mboard manufacturers made that gate configurable. That's the whole story, to the best of my knowledge. -- Jonathan Guthrie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Brokersys +281-895-8101 http://www.brokersys.com/ 12703 Veterans Memorial #106, Houston, TX 77014, USA

I've put all the rest in /etc/profile, but if I do a non-login interactive shell, all the 'exports' don't load so all the rest. What exactly goes where? Depends on what you want to do. But, /etc/bashrc does not seem to be a valid filename serched for by bash. From the manual: When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/pro file, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior. When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists. When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc. When bash is started non-interactively, to run a shell script, for example, it looks for the variable BASH_ENV in the environment, expands its value if it appears there, and uses the expanded value as the name of a file to read and execute. Bash behaves as if the following command were executed: if [ -n $BASH_ENV ]; then . $BASH_ENV; fi but the value of the PATH variable is not used to search for the file name. -- /*** Running Debian Linux *** * For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, * * that whoever believes in Him should not perish...John 3:16 * * W.

Remote Printing Problems
I'm having problems with my remote printing and am looking for some more help. I have got it setup where I can print xemacs, tkrat, command line, etc. However, if I try to print from Netscape or Star Office, nothing ever prints. I've checked logs on my little print server, and don't see anything special. On my main machine that I use, I do have xsftt running. That is the only thing I can figure out might be the problem. If it is, how can I get it running for X on a remote machine? Any other ideas would be appreciated. TIA, chris P.S. The remote machine is a Cyrix 486Dx4 100 with 24 megs and ~400megs hd. It is slow enough as it is, so I don't want to overly burden it down if possible. It's already the print server (except as noted), and dial out server/firewall/ipmasq machine.

boot problem
Hello all, I seem to be causing myself problems in my boot somewhere. Sometime after installing a new kernel and before my next reboot. I do something that breaks my boot process, (I am not used to uptimes of weeks instead of hours ;-). I am using slink with lilo for my boot on a dedicated linux, 486, /dev/hda1, (no dual boot). What happens is after running for weeks I will decide I need to reboot my system. Durring the early boot I only get to LIL_ and the system hangs. I then need to boot from a rescue disk and run lilo manually. Sometimes this does not even help and I just mess with my /etc/lilo.conf until I get a good boot. I get the following error when running mkboot -installkernel Checking for LILO...\nYes, but I couldn't find a LILO signature on /dev/hda1 Check your /etc/lilo.conf, or run /sbin/lilo by hand. When I run /sbin/lilo I get no error, but even then I am not sure I will get a good boot. It seems I need to make some kind of change to lilo.conf and then rerun lilo to get a good boot. Weeks later I start this entire process over... Here is my /etc/lilo.conf with #remarks removed. (default with append=ether... line added). boot=/dev/hda1 root=/dev/hda1 append=ether=10,0x300,eth0 ether=11,0x310,eth1 compact install=/boot/boot.b delay=20 map=/boot/map vga=normal image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only Could someone give me an idea of what I am doing wrong and/or point me to a FM that would help.

Coupla quick questions...
Hello Debian users! I usually just lurk and learn that way but I have a few quick questions that I would appreciate a little info on. 1.) I somehow managed to delete my /var/log/news directory and was getting boot errors. I apparently fixed it by recreating the directory as root but that made the /news subdir owned by root:root. Is this correct or should it be owned by root:news? 2.) I noticed in my /var/log/syslog that when connecting to my ISP I got the message modprobe: can't locate module char-major-10. I checked the archives and dejanews and found some discussion but all I could garner was to alias it to off in /etc/conf.modules. I did it and the message went away but I don't really understand what I did. 3.) I think when I recompiled my kernel for sound I somehow lost what used to be called slhc or slip header compression - I use PPP so I don't know if I need it but... 4.) What does Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP mean? I checked the archives/dejanews and determined that I prolly don't need it so I turned it off in /etc/ppp/peers/provider but I'd still like to know what it's for. 5.) (Last one I swear!) I noticed in my ppp.log that my ISP may be trying chap first before pap - I'll post the relevant parts of the log if necessary but here's what looks important: ...pppd[174]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq...auth chap 05... ...pppd[174]: sent [LCP ConfRej... ...pppd[174]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq...auth chap 05... ...pppd[174]: send [LCP ConfNak...auth pap ...pppd[174]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq...auth pap Then it does some more stuff.

Some questions about IP Masquerading
I am currently trying to install IP masquerading at home. I've been reading the Mini IP Masquerading HOWTO, and I have some questions which I am hoping someone can answer. 1. The HOWTO says to add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: /sbin/depmod -a /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio ...etc I presume that under debian I actually just add these modules to /etc/modules?? 2. In my /lib/modules/2.0.36/ipv4 directory I have the following modules: ip_masq_cuseeme.o ip_masq_irc.o ip_masq_raudio.o ip_masq_ftp.o ip_masq_quake.oip_masq_vdolive.o From this I am guessing that by installing these modules, I will be able to run ftp, irc, quake and real audio applications. I am guessing vdolive is short for video live?? And I have no idea about cuseeme?? Why isn't http here --- doesn't it need a module? What about rlogin, telnet, ping and pop3 (email)?? 3. What does ipv4 stand for? Is it specifically masquerading stuff? 4. The HOWTO says: IMPORTANT: IP forwarding is disabled by default since 2.0.34 kernels, please make sure you enable it by running echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward This seems a very strange way to enable something. Does it need to be done at boot time, or when? Why is it done like this? 5. I'm a little bit hazy about what ipfwadm does and how it does it. I imagine as I read further I'll find out, but any enlightening summaries would be appreciated.

What would be nice is to have the option for apt to build up a partial mirror of the Slink distribution (or any version for that matter), putting each downloaded file in the correct location in a directory tree. Of course it would only be a partial mirror because it would only download those packages which were to be installed. The advantage of this is that I could then use this structure to install from when upgrading my laptop. This solution would be better than the standard mirror solution because this way, only the files needed would be downloaded, saving on disk space and internet bandwidth. My guess is that apt doesn't currently have this feature. Are there any plans to add it? My second best option is to use nfs to symlink the laptop's /var/cache/apt/archives to the desktop's. This might work --- the only problem here is that dselect-apt decides to delete all the files in the cache! How can I turn this off??? I manually edit the /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/apt/install script so that it moves the files to my /pub/debian directory instead of deleting them. After I run install, I fire up the laptop and update it from there. The only problem is, the install script gets overwritten after each apt upgrade... :/ How about that... I started to modify the install script again after tonite's apt upgrade, and I noticed that it can use a configuration file.

Re: C question
I've got a perl script that checks the permissions and creates directories. Now I want to rewrite the script in C. I know nothing about checking permissions nor creating directories with C. I don't even know if it's possible, so if someone does know how to do this or a place that might describe the proceedure I would appreciate the assistance. The first place to look for information is the gnu libc documentation from the glibcdoc. If you installed this package and the info package, just say info libc and you will find a very readable and extensive account of things you need to know for programming C in unix. For your particular question you would go to the File System Interface section. The advantage of this document is that things are discussed by subject, and not just per function. If you read this, you could extend your knowledge by reading the faq of comp.unix.programmer. If you read and understood all that, you could probably go to the comp.unix.programmer newsgroup and start answering questions there :) HTH, Eric -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null -- E.L.

[PPP] Mulitple userids at one ISP
Hi, It seems to me that the current PPP initiation scripts do not allow one to maintain multiple accounts at one ISP for different users on the same dial-out machine. The only way I can think of doing it right now is to fake it by creating a separate 'provider' for each user even though the provider is the same. Is there another, cleaner way of doing what I need to? If there isnt, I feel irritated enough about this to put in some code to get this working the way I want. Please advise. Regards, Jor-el

Help with cdwriting
I have desided to go back to Debian for my Linux needs. I am now installing a Debian 2.1 box with a HP cd writer drive in it. This is going to be the main purpose of this box. I know under redhat I used /dev/sgc for the device to access the drive. I am assuming I use the /dev/sg0-9 driver for Debian. I have the sg drivers loaded in the kernel and I see them in the /dev directory but when I run the cdrecord program against any of them, it comes back saying that it cannot find the drive. I also thought that I would try xcdroast. It sees the drive but does not see any driver file listed for it. I also cannot get past the configuration screen on the program although, that may be my problem since I have never used that program before. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Problems installing Staroffice
Hello again, I sent a mail earlier about upgrading from Hamm to Slink, some of the problems are now solved (dselect removed the installed packages, the new kernel is OK, etc.), but I have new problems. When I try to install Starffice I get the following message: can't find the StarOffice archives in /tmp. Did you place them in a different directory? Please give me another directory. giving the apt archive doesn't work. Any idea or do I have to mail the package maintainer? Also Xfree treats my backspace key as 'erase', I can probably change that with xmodmap but it doesn't seem like a 'clean' solution to me. Does anyone know where this comes from and how to do (I have a French keyboard and the appropriate XF86Config).

The boot scripts won't run at all without bash and those tools... Sure, make is irrelevant. We can use any broken make from other systems (are there other make's?), except for some programs which require GNU make. You won't be able to compile in a sub directory, though, using VPATH. This may prevent compilation of quite some Debian packages. but, without the above tools, you won't be able to compile them anyway. Personally, I'd miss perl a lot. Too bad that its configure script checks for cat and alike. I have heard that BSD has replaced some of the tools. Maybe it would be possible to port them to linux. But then, some sort of textutils you need. In this regard, I find Linus' comment utterly bullshit and closed-minded.

Re: ntfs package
Do you have ntfs support compiled into your kernel? The support is experimental I believe and that is for the read-only. I understand the read-write ability to be considered unsafe to use. I have had no problems with the read-only stuff working though. HTH. -Ian On Thu, 25 Mar 1999, Richard Vanek wrote: I installed ntfs at Debian 2.1 and mount doesn't understand -t ntfs option.

Re: C question
Quoting richard ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I've got a perl script that checks the permissions and creates directories. Now I want to rewrite the script in C. I know nothing about checking permissions nor creating directories with C. I don't even know if it's possible, so if someone does know how to do this or a place that might describe the proceedure I would appreciate the assistance. man 2 foo is your friend. If Perl can do it, then so can C. After all, in this area Perl is no more than a wrapper to the underlying C functions, though you will have to be more careful with the precise types of the arguments, which is where languages like perl and python make it so easy.

Maybe you never tried to dpkg --purge --force-depends --force-essential those packages. So you're saying that the FSF is the only possible source of things like ls, rm, mv, etc? And here I thought that the BSD folks had written their own. Gosh, the responsibility of being the only folks on the face of the earth who are CAPABLE of producing a make or a sed must be absolutely awesome! Where do I go to bow down to their feet? My point is not that nobody uses those systems, but that anyone with even marginal skill can write those programs. GCC is harder to replace. But then, some sort of textutils you need. In this regard, I find Linus' comment utterly bullshit and closed-minded. OTOH, I would not hesitate to call Linux insignificant, compared with the GNU projects. Reminds me of the joke: Q: What's the difference between Linux and GNU? A: Linux has a kernel that boots. While that isn't strictly true any more, it was true for a long time. It is still true, if you aren't willing to run beta code. If the FSF is full of such SH programmers, why couldn't they cobble together something in a couple of months? I did it years ago. (The answer, of course, is that they don't know how to write the essential stuff first and let the rest just happen. That's how Linus got so far ahead without a dedicated following or taxpayer support.) One more thing: You talk about missing perl because it depends upon cat. If you are unable to write a cat (it's about 20 lines of C, fer crissake!) or an ls or an rm then you don't deserve an opinion about whose work in necessary and whose isn't. -- Jonathan Guthrie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Brokersys +281-895-8101 http://www.brokersys.com/ 12703 Veterans Memorial #106, Houston, TX 77014, USA
Re: boot problem
Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: boot=/dev/hda1 root=/dev/hda1 append=ether=10,0x300,eth0 ether=11,0x310,eth1 compact install=/boot/boot.b delay=20 map=/boot/map vga=normal image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only I would remove the compact option. I never got a kernel to boot with that option enabled. Also, try running fsck with the option to check for badblocks. I have a question for you. If this is a linux-only machine, why do you have a 20 second delay for the lili prompt? Avi Shevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, I will try both removing the compact and running fsck. The 20 second delay is really only 20 tenths of seconds, (2 seconds). I have left the 2 second delay in because this is in the default lilo.conf installed with lilo. I also have left it in because it lets my screen turn on so I can see all the boot information. Another observation I have made that I do not understand. I can change the boot= option from /dev/hda1 to /dev/hda, rerun lilo and fix my problem until the next boot fail. Then I return the option to boot=/dev/hda1, run lilo and my problem is fixed again. Simply running lilo but not making this change does not fix the problem?? -- Bill
Loading OSS drivers at boot
Hi, I want to load OSS at boot. I have the commercial version, and no sound support is compiled into my kernel (2.2.1) as the OSS documentations says. The OSS drivers has to be loaded by root, and I want them loaded at boot time. What I did was to copy the soundon script into the /etc/rc.boot directory, and the driver is loaded and works fine. However, I get the following message when booting after the OSS driver is loaded: cat uses obsolete /proc/pci interface Why do I get this message when I load the OSS driver at boot, and not when loading it as a command from root? Is there another way to load it at boot? I am really unsure about the Debian stratup scripts, and the OSS documentation doesn't tell how to load the driver at boot time under Debian. Btw, I am running slink. Can anyone help? TIA Regards, Christian Dysthe Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 25-Mar-99 Time: 10:00:03 This message was sent by XFmail Powered by Debian GNU/Linux
