Así que vuelvo a poner el aviso y aprovecho para decir cosas, que antes he sido un poco parco: En mi página web he puesto unos paquetes del gestor de ventanas WindowMaker, versión 0.51. Estos paquetes han sido creados a partir de las fuentes que mantiene Marcelo. Yo sólo me he limitado a compilar los binarios para que estén enlazados con las versiones antiguas de las librerías. Por tanto estos paquetes se pueden instalar dentro de una Debian 2.0 (Hamm) y como hay compatibilidad descendente, con una Debian 2.1. O eso espero. No puedo poner mi mano en el fuego por estos paquetes. A mi me funcionan, y tendrían que funcionar. En cualquier caso estos paquetes no son oficiales.

If he manages to understand how to convert an rpm to a tarball, he will surely understand how to use alien to make a .deb package, and will be smart enough to understand the process. Marek, I think George's point is Joe Blow doesn't *have* to understand using alien to convert a .rpm to a .deb, alien does everything for him. The problem starts when the newly created .deb still fails to work because of assumptions about the layout of the distro made by the creators of the .rpm. Ok, I agree. I feel I have to explain myself a little bit. Working for an ISP, I have contact with many people working on Winblows-equipped machines. Those people have accounts on our Linux machines and when faced with the necessity to actually read some documentation, they are completely shocked one HAS to learn something! Winblows created a generation of totally ignorant power users of PCs - M$ policy is to free people from thinking by creating software which does almost everything for the user - either automatically or by dictating all the steps required to achieve some goal. It may seem it is good - an average user doesn't have to master obscure techniques to manage his data and do his work, but what happens if the infallible Micro$oft software reveals another undocumented feature (a.k.a a bug :-)))? Our power user proud of his knowledge opens wide his eyes, stares at the Big Blue Screen(tm) with disbelief in his eyes and finally dials the M$ support number (where he will learn nothing new...). And the sad thing is that usually the problem is quite obvious, easy to fix or work around - solution is at hand, but Joe Blow hasn't been taught how to THINK when using a computer - he'd been given a piece of software that CLAIMS it doesn't require ANY knowledge to use it, that is supposed to work for ever and ever. Amen. Unfortunately, the software kicks back at our Joe and he knows nothing about how to win that game, he has NO resources (of some value) when he can read about the problem, even more - he thinks the software is so perfect he doesn't need to know ANYTHING about it - it will work, period... If he was told: Joe, the software will work in most cases, but should it fail you have the documentation, right there, use this or that command to read it, it's nothing hard, just a few tips - you will save time and money by fixing most of the problems on your own I'm sure he'd manage the situation... So, I think the way to go is NOT TO DO EVERYTHING FOR THE USER, but to GIVE ADVICE, EXPLAIN, HELP and MAKE THEM THINK a little bit about what's happening in their computer. Unix has never been and, I hope, it will never be an operating system that frees people from thinking... I've said this before and I'll say it again here: alien does *NOT* solve the problem of an absence of a 'standard' for Linux distros. Is such a standard possible at all? I mean, not on a paper - they already exist, after all, but is it possible that RH, Debian and other dist vendors will ever come to some agreement? It doesn't show on the surface, but there's a war raging under the cover - some want to provide GOOD products, but some just want to make money... Sad but true... marek

I tried porting the Red Hat GUI printer management stuff to Debian once but gave up once I realized that it was going to take more than a couple of hours and involve modifying several files. That was about a year ago, I am not sure if they have cleaned it up since then. I can't see this as anything but redhat bashing. I happen to maintain the package of rpm for debian (since I maintain alien, which uses rpm). I haven't considered rpm expecially difficult to port (definitly a misnomer) to debian. Looking at the debianized source of rpm, I do notice I've modifed some 10 or 20 files. Thinking back, this did take more than a couple of hours. But compared to many other things I've debianized, it was cake. I'm not interested in participating in yet another redhat flame war. I'm speaking up only to say that I think the fact you base this posting on are flawed. The facts may not be here yet, although the 'Heinz ketchup' remark is revealing, but that doesn't mean they won't happen in short order. I don't trust RH because they are RH, but because they have such dominant position in the Linux market that they are on the verge of a de facto monopoly. The monopoly status will occur when Linux application makers decide they can't afford to make different packages for the different distros and just settle on RH as the default (doesn't this sound familiar?).

Linux on a large disk
Hi, Nowadays, it is very common to have a disk ranging from 6.4GB to 10.1GB. It is also common lots people will install both windoze and linux on the same disk. I am just about to install debian on three computers for my friends. They all have a large disk with the first partition being occupied by windoze. Due to the fact that lilo cannot see anything beyond 1024 cylinders, what is the best way to deal with this fact? I have tried with the command something like append=hd=8400,16,63 in /etc/lilo.conf, but has not luck. Could someone please tell me how I can overcome this problem???

So RH gets to become the definition of Linux, so what? unlike the snip No problem with me provided that third party non-free software, i.e., Oracle, Infomax, etc are easily ported to Debian, FBSD, NetBSD, Slackware, etc. In the short term, this may not be too much of a problem. The long term view, however, of a market dominated by 'MS-Linux' will be much grimmer. At some point, RH would make it harder and harder for app developers to support more than one distro. The issue is not that the Linux kernel would still be available as open-source, the problem is what happens when 85-95% of app developers are writing their software only for RH. The 'open source' community would not be terribly affected, and would certainly continue support of Debian and others, but if RH can wrap up the commercial side of the Linux phenomenon, Debian will never go much farther than it is now. Different distros offer different adminstrative tools, and different packages. Distros offering different administrative tools is a good thing IMHO; the tools for newbies should be different than for the guru. However, if I want to run Oracle, I do not want to have to switch to RH. If third party software vendors (that do not provide source) had a tree (like teTeX) and have envionmental variables point to parts of tree, it seems that any distro can easily include the software in a packge.

I cannot use the tabular with {lll} because I actually want the second

automatically break the line for me it writes everything in one
line
Please help me
Thanks for any advise in advance(PS. I do have the latex companion

ps man page
BTW, has anyone else noticed that the manpage for ps(1) is uglier than sin? Whose idea of nroff formatting is that? It looks OK on the console and it looks OK in an xterm. Mine looks okay; well, other than it being a man page and I find most man pages ugly to begin with, but only because I speak English instead of Developer :) (why don't they ever give real-life examples of the command instead of just techno-speak?) I do give examples. Look near the end. It's not a man page at all. Especially, the author seems to be completely ignorant of any text formatiing system. Yeah, this is a bug report. ps (1) should be a man page formatted in the troff format. It is a man page. It is formatted with troff. Look at the damn header, and you will see troff. Obviously I am not ignorant of any text formatting system. I know enough to beat troff into submission. I didn't write the page like I did just for fun. I wrote it in that strange way because a normal version looked horrid. I'd love to see someone find a way to make a man page look good without my hack. Check out this line from a normal version of the page: --- begin junk --- For sorting, BSD Ooptionsyntaxis --- end junk --- I would be most grateful to anyone who can fix that abomination while making productive use of the standard macro package. I do not consider huge gaps of whitespace acceptable. Perfect justification is bad enough on a system that supports kerning, but it is a complete joke in an xterm. After you fix that, you need to kill the hyphenation. As you can see, I fixed the problem using brute force. Hyhenation has no place in a modern technical document. Next, you need to make the option tables look good. Each option should be displayed on exactly one line, not wrapped around. That means you need to change the left and right margins to zero. All of the option descriptions should line up too. Messy non-alignment like this is not acceptable: -N negate selection -pselect by PID t Select by tty -l long format -w wide output V show version info Muse alternate core (try -n or N instead) Note that those are in different sections; they should still line up. There is one last problem, but I was not able to fix it either. Page headers and footers should only appear on physical paper output. When viewing a page in an xterm, page numbers are useless noise.

More practically, ignore FDISK and convert the partitions that you want to go to FAT32 individually. It's not a lengthy process. I want to do this because my 99.9%-full 1.2GB FAT16 partition expanded to 1.6GB when I copied it to a 2GB FAT16 partition(due to a larger cluster size, I guess), but took only 800MB on a FAT32 partition.

Then you'll want to view/update it, in order to be sure that all the values are correct. Finally, start isapnp and watch the messages.
Upgrading slink - potato
Hi all, I need some information about upgrading from slink to potato since I need to use some new (networking) features implemented in kernel 2.2.x. I have been using slink quite for a while (before its release) . The machine is now running kernel 2.2.3 and serves as web (apache-ssl), proxy/firewall, mail/pop (qmail), router/gateway as well as DNS servers. What is the best way of upgrading without breaking the current system (I plan to use dselect) and how big is the risk? What about the incompatibility of Glibc 2.1 and Glibc 2.0? Which programs have to be recompiled? I couldnt find information on the web, so please help me. Thanks, jusak
Re: Using powersave Features on monitor
*- On 30 Mar, Sean wrote about Re: Using powersave Features on monitor But does that really send it into powersave mode? When setterm blanks the screen, the CRT guns are still running, as the back of the monitor is still warm to the touch, whereas when Windows puts the monitor into powersave mode, the back of the monitor becomes cool. setterm can do both, from the man page: setterm [ -blank [ 0-60 ] ] setterm [ -powersave [ on|vsync|hsync|powerdown|off ] ] setterm [ -powerdown [ 0-60 ] ] blank just blanks the screen after [0-60] minutes. powerdown shuts if off after [0-60] minutes, and powersave does in now.

Re: xconsole placement
*- On 30 Mar, ktb wrote about xconsole placement I have been working on this one for awhile and can't come up with an answer. Xconsole is iconified when I start X and when I deiconify it, it opens off screen. What I want is xconsole to be open and in view at the bottom of my screen when my X session starts. Xconsole seems to be coming from xdm as it isn't present when I used the command startx. There is a line for xconsole geometry in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 fi rm -f /var/run/xconsole_0.pid # start fresh xconsole and store its PID xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -notify -verbose -fn fixed \ -exitOnFail -file /dev/xconsole echo $! /var/run/xconsole_0.pid fi I tried changing the geometry numbers but that just made xconsole load in the xdm loggin page and when I logged in to X xconsole was iconified. I don't understand the programming strings of the file so maybe what I did was wrong. I tried putting this line, + I exec xconsole -geometry =480x130+153+400 -exitOnFail -daemon ^ ^ remove the equal sign in my ~/.fvwm2/init.hook file. The xconsole icon briefly appeared and then no xconsole at all. If I try opening xconsole from the root menu of fvwm2 xconsole says Couldn't open console.

Re: No LILO Boot after Re-Install -- Thanks to All!
Thank you for your suggestion, JW Park, and to the suggestions of others . I tried Park's suggestion, but that made it boot only to Linux, leaving no opportunity to boot to Windoze. I tried others' suggestions, without any direct success. But it payed off in the end. I played around with fdisk, retagging the main ext2 partition (hda2) bootable, then non-bootable, then re-tagging the Linux native partition (hda1) as bootable. The first time I tagged the Linux native partition as bootable, I got a message back when I rebooted that there was a partition error (and then the system froze). However, after fooling around and trying it a second time, it worked. I love computer science, as they use to call it when I went to school. Thanks to all.

ISP Connection
Hello peoples, I've just transfered over to a new ISP, and I'm having some problems with my connection to the ISP. I've managed to manouver myself into a position where I can get online, but it does not seem to be online fully... it's a little hard to describe, sort of a funny feeling I've gotten :- i.e. not everything is connecting correctly, ftp has to be in PASSIVE mode, etc... I also have the occassional hassle that the connection does not happen... oh, it dials in and everything but then just sort of stops and hangs up.. really weird... anyhow my new ISP does not support Linux (though I think the guys who I talked to on the phone about it might be changing their own systems soon grin).. but anyhow, as the ISP doesn't officially support linux I'm in a bit of a bind here. To connect under Windows here's all I have to do :- setup the internet connection (dial-up networking, dns entries, etc.) dial the ISP enter username and password in box that appears onscreen (yep, a little box comes up and asks me for my username and password). To have it connect under Linux I've done the following :- setup the internet connection (dns entries, pppconfig, etc.) modified the PAP secrets file (this took a little bit of figuring out but I finally figured it out). dial the ISP it connects... but with the problems I mentioned above.. I've since looked back at my win95 connection settings and it has the box log onto remote network checked... I tried connecting that way, and yep no funny box opening up... If anyone has any clues on to what I can do to help configure the linux setup so I can do it that way it would be prefered... I hate slow links, that's why I bought a 56K modem for :) Catch ya's l8r, Peter Ludwig

automatically break the line for me it writes everything in one
line
I didn't really figure out what you intend to do, but I think that
\multicolumn (with {lll}) should solve your problem. Please e-mail me
an example for more details (I'm not subscribed to the list any more for

debian setup headaches
Hello, OK, in trying to iron out that problem that I was having with not being able to boot from my IDE disk instead of my (non-bootable) SCSI disk, I've run into a problem in even getting Debian running at all. I've started from scratch, repartitioned, and reformatted through the setup process, and made a boot floppy ( did I mention that the setup still doen't let me boot from the IDE drive?). Problem is, and I've done this like 5 times already (from scratch), I try booting on the floppy, and I get crc errors. This is using different floppoes every time (and they check out when scanned). In case you're curious, my RAM timings are set to their defaults in BIOS, and there's nothign trciky about any of the other settings in BIOS. To be perfectly honest, I thought Debian would be a thoughtful, and competent upgrade from Red Hat, but for something as simple, and probably very common as my setup, I cannot get it to work. Just for kicks, I tried RH 5.1 to see if there was anything totally messed up in my setup. Nope, setup just fine, w/o a hitch. Hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction on this, or cheapbytes.com is getting another order, from me, and it ain't gonna be for Debian. advTHANKSance -lev
Re: dselect internal error
Pieter-Tjerk de Boer wrote: [dselect errors] Since then, this error message pops up every time I try [I]nstall. I'm telling all these details because I suspect that somehow this was not the right way to cope with the two changes (newer NFS server, and newer 'stable' distribution). As the co-maintainer of that NFS server you're talking about, I know the contents of it (the directory layout, I mean) didn't change. It only got moved to a new machine (with a different hostname). So that won't cause your problem, I'd say. As you're using a `hamm'-machine at the moment (the previous stable Debian version), you should start with reading the hamm-to-slink-upgrade instructions, I think. You can find them here: http://www.debian.org/releases/2.1/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html Second, I suggest using apt when upgrading. Detailed instructions about using apt to upgrade your system are in the same document. To use apt, you need to create a /etc/apt/sources.list file as pointed out in that document. At the University of Twente, this one is proven to work good: deb http://ftp.student.utwente.nl/debian slink main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.student.utwente.nl/debian-non-US slink non-US deb http://ftp.student.utwente.nl/debian dists/slink-proposed-updates/ Note that the last line includes the 'proposed updates' of slink, which are not yet part of the 'stable' distribution, but I recommend installing them anyway (security fixes etc). Good luck! Regards, -Remco

Re: RedHat = MS-Linux
On Tue, 30 Mar 1999, Ed Cogburn wrote: The issue is not that the Linux kernel would still be available as open-source, the problem is what happens when 85-95% of app developers are writing their software only for RH. The 'open source' community would not be terribly affected, and would certainly continue support of Debian and others, but if RH can wrap up the commercial side of the Linux phenomenon, Debian will never go much farther than it is now. If the 'open source' community would not be terribly affected, why should the growth (go much farther) of Debian be affected? As long as RH remains OSS, the worst that can happen is that developers have to translate everything from RH into Debian. The fact that RH is commercial doesn't enter into the equation. Are you saying that Linux users will take a commercial product over a free one, just because it is commercial? There is the commercial world and the free world; the free world has been growing in spite of the commercial world, adding one more commercially supported OS will not change that. In fact, since the free world gets most of its users from the commercial world... an increase in the number of commercial Linux users should result in more converts to free Linux distributions. Consider this: Did the arrival of a commercial Unix stagnate the free unix distributions (in any way), or did the commercial Unix increase the size of the unix user base (some of whom switched to the free products when they realized that unix was ok)? later, Bruce

Robbie, I ran into this also the first time I compiled a 2.2.X kernel.

In the kernel config (I use xconfig), that feature is under block devices. Tom Robbie Huffman wrote: What would cause a 2.2.5 kernel to fail at bootup time when it reaches the Parition Check section?

This also seems similar to an error that I get when I try to run emusic - nothing happens until I ^C, then I get the next message... Gdk-Message: ** ERROR **: sigint caught All other sound stuff seems to work... Any clues? also Another thing that caused multitrack to segfault me was a setting in the preferences file ~/.multitrack/prefs I changed this to read: #= # Audio buffers section #= o_nr_buffers = 10 i_nr_buffers = 10 I don't have this file - I guess because the program hasn't fully run yet?

I dualboot to DOS and try the Debian install CD, but I get boot from dos install ran out of input data ---system halted When I was compiling a kernel before I was able to use this to reset lilo but now it won't work. I have ext2-os2 so I should be able to read my linux partitions from OS2, but I am not able to read the Linux partition. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

dselect.... missing the obvious?
Hello again and thanks for all the help this debian-newbie is getting! I've done several (custom) installs of slink using dselect, and each time I waste a bunch of time searching for certain packages I want for instance ntp, sendmail, snmp, pine, joe I am getting a little more familiar with the organization of the packages but it seems I must be doing it the difficult way, manually searching through the entire list! I know about the re-order list options, but there must be a way to search the package list for a keyword, package name or catagory, how do I do this? Second, once I have a favorite base system, can I integrate that into the dselect program for future installs? TIA, Chris * Chris Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] !!! HELP FIGHT SPAM !!!

Re: Netscape Installer??
As I understand it, Netscape have changed their licencing rules, to the effect that Debian can now distribute Netscape binaries. Thus you no longer have to get the binary from netscape and then use the installer, you just need the correct packages. I think the packages you want are: netscape-base-4 and netscape-base-4? (depending on version). If you want to use the tarball + installer, the installer is still in stable (under contrib/web, not non-free/web) as: netscape3_version.deb or netscape3_version.deb depending on which tarball you have. HTH Rich Ian Keith Setford wrote: I'd like to re-install Netscape but I can no longer find the Debian installer script/package. Where did it go? What are all the other packages, now in Slink, that mention Netscape? I just want something to do what the older installer did: 1) Extract the .tar.gz from /tmp 2) Install in proper place. 3) Update the menu. Does nothing like this exist anymore or have I not found the right package?

Re: dselect.... missing the obvious?
Chris, When you choose option number 2 in dselect, press the space bar to clear the help screen and then press the slash key (/). This will put you in a search mode. Just type in the name of the package you wish to install at the Search for ? prompt. At 11:01 AM 3/31/99 -0500, you wrote: Hello again and thanks for all the help this debian-newbie is getting!
