   No se puede considerar Linux como una sociedad?? por qué no lo es?

No está inscrita como tal.

 Quizás sea un error pero creo que muchos consideran como empresas a Debian
 o a Red-Hat (p.e.) por el hecho que se puede sacar unos beneficios con la 
 venta del soporte de los CD's con Linux (al fin y al cabo son quienes 
 recogen lo que hay de Linux y lo juntan con un progr. de instalación,
 entre otras cosas).

Red Hat sí es una empresa (está registrada como tal) y sí saca beneficios
de la venta de CDs. Debian no vende CDs (las empresas que venden CDs de
Debian no tienen ninguna relación legal ni contractual con Debian, venden
Debian igual que podrían vender Red Hat, SuSe, M$ ruindous...) por tanto
no saca beneficios. Si acaso alguna donación, que además no va a Debian,
sino a la organización sin ánimo de lucro Software in the Public
Interest, que ofrece soporte legal a proyectos de software libre, entre
ellos Debian.

   Y si no se puede considerar a Linux como una sociedad, por qué se puede
 leer en las revistas cosas como que Netscape o Corel invierten en Red-Hat
 p.e. ?? Se refieren sólo a que portan sus productos a Linux y a que le
 apoyan con algunas donaciones??

No, es que se da el caso de que Red Hat sí es una empresa. Netscape y
Corel invierten en Red Hat comprando acciones (participaciones) de esa
empresa.

   Ninguna distribución de Linux se considera entonces como sociedad, y
 ninguna tiene acciones en la bolsa ? (no todas las distribuciones son
 iguales)  

No todas las distribuciones son iguales.
 
  Y para que pudiera subir su valor en bolsa, tendría que dar
  pingües beneficios (que no pingüinos), y los ingresos de Debian se basan tan
  sólo en las donaciones que los resellers y los usuarios, y otros hacen.
  
 
   Linux no proporciona ingresos a nadie?? Seguro que a aquellas empresas
 que lo usan si (aunque para esto no cuenta, claro).

Linux no proporciona ingresos a Debian. Hay muchas empresas que sí
obtienen ingresos del Linux.

   Supongamos que dentro de unos anios exista un Linux orientado al usuario 
 final al estilo de MacOs (cosa a simple vista casi imposible)

Lo del Corel Draw todavía no está terminado, pero están en ello.
Lo de la Corel Debian está anunciado en 
http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,35166,00.html

Se trata de algo que se lleva cocinando desde hace unos meses, pero
básicamente consiste en que van a usar Debian como base para su propia
distribución de Linux. Quieren añadirle amigabilidad a base de mejorar
la instalación, hacer una selección de programas, integrar el KDE y cosas
así... Lo mejor (en mi opinión) es que hablan de aportar parte de sus
mejoras de vuelta al proyecto Debian, con lo cual nos beneficiaremos
todos, no sólo sus clientes. 

Por otro lado, no está mal que haya más distribuciones populares que usen
el formato deb. Así contrarestamos la moda de anunciar programas para
Red Hat Linux (como si no fuesen a funcionar en las demás... :-P ).

No es que no tenga mis pequeños miedos frente a esta implicación tan
fuerte de una empresa en principio ajena a nuestro mundillo... pero eso
es porque soy muy paranóico. :-)

Soy novato: lo siente

1999-04-16 Thread Manuel J. Gamero Peso
Hola: acabo de instalar Linux en mi pc (P200MMX 64 Mb 3Dfx Banshee). He
utilizado la SuSe 6.0, que venia con Solo Linux (lo siento, he pedido el
Debian 2.1 a Id-Agora, pero no contestan), y bien se ha instalado
correctamente. No se si la habré cag... en algo, pues es mi primera
experiencia en Linux, y hasta ayer lo más que conocía era el DOS, algo de
OS2, y mi querido MSX de cuanto tenia 15.

Bueno, me dejo de historias: se instala, al hacerlo con arranque dual (win98
y Linux), el LILO funciona de maravilla, arranco en Linux, y tras el boot,
pues me pide el Login: OH CARAMBA, y cuando he introducido yo el login? PUes
no recuerdo haberlo hecho durante la instalación: solo se que introduje
nombre del equipo, y dominio (o algo asi, la verdad es que no lo recuerdo
bien, fue ayer a las 3 de la mañana), y recuerdo que me pidio un password,
que despues de introducirlo me arrepenti, y lo deje sin password, (lo borre,
bueno supongo que lo hice, el cursor no se movia), confirme y ya esta. Es
cierto que el YaST me hizo crear un usuario de ejemplo, y ese si que le puse
login y password, pero claro, cuando me pide el login, yo quiero entrar y si
pulso enter me lo vuelve a pedir: entonces mis preguntas son:

1.- Cuando en la instalación me pidio el pwd y yo no lo hize, lo sustitui
por enters en blanco:  que habia creado?

2.- Debo crear un nuevo usuario? Para ello, como narices entro en el sistema
si lo unico que me pide es login:

3.- Entro con los pwd del usuario de ejemplo?

Se que son preguntas de novato asqueroso, pero lo siento, soy nuevo. Espero
que no os carcajeeis mucho de mis preguntas.


Un saludo.

 En un reciente mensaje, he leido lo de poner traps a la ejecución de un
 programa para no conseguir acceso a una shell... ¿alguien es tan amable de
 explicarme qué es ésto, cómo funciona, con qué lenguajes puedo hacerlo, y
 algún ejemplillo?
 
Title: trap: Trap signals





  
 Next: Tips Using Shell Commands
Up: Programming the Shell
 Previous: set: Change Command-line Parameters
 
trap: Trap signals

Processes may be sent signals using either the kill command, or a
control key combination such as CTRL-C.
The interrupt signal (CTRL-C) usually
kills the process.

Table  taken from 
[6, p.883,]
shows some of the signals used in Shell Programming.

  
Table: Signal numbers for trap command.


The trap command typically appears as one of the first lines in the
shell script.
It contains the commands to be executed when a signal is detected as well
as what signals to trap.

#!/bin/sh
TMPFILE=/usr/tmp/junk.$$
trap 'rm -f $TMPFILE; exit 0' 1 2 15 
.
.
.

Upon receiving signals 1, 2 or 15, $TMPFILE would be 
deleted and the script would terminate the shell script normally.
This shows how trap may be used to clean up before exiting.

#!/bin/sh
TMPFILE=/usr/tmp/junk.$$
trap '' 0 1 2
.
.
.

The above example shows how trap may be used to ignore specific signals 
(0, 1 and 2).

NOTE that when the signal is received, the command currently being executed
is interrupted, and execution flow continues at the next line of the script.

¿Miedo a algo como esto?

Microsoft Corporation anuncia el próximo lanzamiento de una nueva suite de
productos basados en Linux.  Microsoft ha hecho público su propósito de apoyar
el software de libre distribución bajo licencia GPL.

Microsoft Linux Suite 2000 incluirá programas recientemente portados a Linux
tan populares como Word, Excel, Access, y hasta Internet Explorer.  Un portavoz
oficial de MS Corp. declaró esta mañana que éste es un primer paso hacia
nuestro firme propósito de soporte al desarrollo abierto.  Estamos en
conversaciones para contratar en Microsoft a personas tan claves en el
desarrollo de Linux como pueden ser Linus Torvalds o Alan Cox;  asimismo
estamos estudiando el modo de desviar fondos hacia las organizaciones que hasta
ahora han estado trabajando en estos proyectos, mediante la adquisición de
paquetes de acciones de forma mayoritaria en proyectos varios tal como puedan
ser Gnome o OpenStep de modo que puedan colaborar activamente con nuestro
equipo de desarrolladores en proyectos más amplios de interfaces gráficas.

Hasta el momento MS Corp. no ha dejado entrever sus intenciones en lo relativo
al precio final de mercado de Microsoft Linux 2000, tan sólo se han aventurado
a comentar que ... estamos estudiando la posibilidad de, en un futuro, poner
a disponibilidad de centros educativos y estudiantes unas licencias especiales
con ofertas especiales, probablemente basados en una versión más asequible del
producto.  En este aspecto, y dentro de lo que será Microsoft Linux Suite 2000,
hemos hecho un esfuerzo para lanzar una versión especial, MS Linux Light 2000,
que está orientada a un amplio sector del público que no requiere las
prestaciones de un sistema operativo multitarea, sino tan sólo necesite de la
funcionalidad y la amigabilidad de programas sólidos y estables como los que
hace tiempo ofrece Microsoft.

Al ser requerido insistentemente sobre el precio de los nuevos productos, el
portavoz de Microsoft acabó declarando que ... no tenemos intención de
incrementar precios sobre productos ya exsitentes, y como prueba de ello,
seguimos adhiriéndonos a la filosofía de la Licencia Pública GNU;  El usuario
mantendrá el valor de su dinero con la adquisición de la suite completa.  Así
pues, el precio final seguirá siendo el que hasta ahora había sido para el
sistema operativo Linux;  no existirá un precio real añadido pues éste sólo
se debe a la adquisición de la interfaz gráfica de Windows, y los programas que
componían la suite de Microsoft Office.  Piense en el coste actual, por
separado, de todo ello y se dará cuenta de nuestra firme decisión de
estabilidad en cuanto a precios.  La guinda a todo esto la pone MS Internet
Explorer, actualmente el navegador más rápido y seguro, que se distribuirá de
forma gratuita y como parte integral de Microsoft Linux Suite Pro 2000.  De
modo adicional, los usuarios de Microsoft Linux Suite Light 2000 podrán
adquirir el navegador de forma gratuita, aunque no integrado en la suite, sino
con la compra adicional de Microsoft Internet Plus, que incluye programas para
la conexión a internet y el uso del correo electrónico como sendmail, procmail,
fetchmail, en combinación con MS Outlook.

Nota:  lo siento, pero leí algo parecido el 1 de Abril, fool's day ( = día de
los tontos, algo así como Todos los Santos) y me pareció gracioso a la vez que
ingenioso.

Un saludo,

Horacio

1999-04-16 Thread Javier Fdz-Sanguino Pen~a

Siempre y cuando el filtro que convierte a PostScript soporte
caracteres de 8 bits no tienes problemas, es cuestion de configuracion de
estos filtros, aunque generalmente tendrán soporte para 8bits.
Ten en cuenta que lo que hace Debian y cualquier Linux (siempre y
cuando no lo mandes via la impresora 'raw' que lo manda directamente al
dispositivo, como si hicieras un cat /dev/lpX) es pasar lo que mandas a
postcript y utilizar esto con el filtro de la impresora adecudad.

Tengo una matricial de 9 agujas Epson lx300 y he utilizado el filtro

 Esta bastante bien, pero un me gustaria conocer si es posible que con lpr
 pueda imprimir los acentos y enies de un fichero escrito por ejemplo con
 el jed (Con sw. ofimatico como el WorPerfect 8 no hay problema).

  Es posible que los filtros por defecto del magic no tengan soporte para

El filtro si tiene soporte de 8 bits, al menos eso creo, y, si no me
equivoco, es el filtro el que convierte el postscript a los caracteres de
control que envía a la impresora, la impresora no tiene que soportar
postscript para funcionar (evidentemente, si coge directamente postscript te
ahorras un paso)

RE: Debianizar paquetes

1999-04-16 Thread Ricardo Villalba
Hola!

Mi consulta es la siguiente:
Tengo los fuentes de un programa y quiero hacer un paquete .deb, para
instalarlo con dpkg y no romper mi base de datos de paquetes instalados.

El paquete es gPhoto (GNU Photo) y no lo encuentro en formato .deb por
ningún lado.


Hola.
Hacer paquetes .deb es bastante fácil, pero si no deseas ponerte a modificar
los Makefiles, debian/rules y esas cosas puedes hacer este truquillo:
-Compilas los fuentes.
-Creas un directorio, donde a su vez creas los directorios donde se
instalarían los distintos ficheros (usr/bin, usr/X11R6/bin, usr/doc,
usr/man, etc.)
-Copias los ejecutables, manuales, etc. en esos directorios. Puede que esto
también se pueda hacer automáticamente pasándole un parámetro al make (make
install DESTDIR=directorio o similar).
-Comprimes el directorio completo en un tar.gz
-Con el alien conviertes ese archivo en .deb

Re: Diald Setup

1999-04-16 Thread Russell Rademacher
Well... from the documenations, it seems that diald.options, and
diald.conf is missing.  Everything else seems to be in the right place except
for those two.  

Secondly, I tried to get it to work from my little editing and it does
not work at all.  Heck.. I fired up lynx and got this message: Alert!: Unable
to connect to remote host.  Now... what I understand, diald's purpose is to
make a connection either by ISDN or 56K modem when you do TCP/IP query from the
box.

So... is there some areas that need to be configured beside diald to
make the system work properly?  I am sort of lost here and I am considering
un-installing the diald and do a installation by source instead to make it work
since the debianized version do not work and the documenations from the diald's
website says quite a few things differently here as well.  I am not trying to
put down Debian.  Quite the opposite but this is the first gripes I came across
with this one since I have used Debian for past few months and had no problems
setting up few different areas.  This diald is the new project and this baffled

Re: Resizing ext2 filesystems

1999-04-16 Thread Max
Thanks to all for your suggestions on how to go about this without
resize2fs!  It turns out that I was able to get an rpm of resize2fs,
so I would rather use this instead of all the other methods.

Once again, here's what df shows right now:

Filesystem   1k-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1   497667 35372436593   7% /
/dev/sda5   497667395751 76214  84% /var
/dev/sda6  2478138   2271725 78297  97% /usr
/dev/sda7  4616953643371   3734617  15% /home

Here's what my plan of action is:

su
cp /usr/sbin/resize2fs /   #since I'll need to umount /usr
touch /etc/nologin
/etc/init.d/single #is this really necessary?
umount /home
umount /usr
/resize2fs -p /dev/sda7 3616953
/resize2fs -p /dev/sda6 3478138
mount /home
mount /usr
/sbin/lilo #is this necessary?
/sbin/shutdown -h now


Does the above look right to people who've done this before?  Is it OK
to do it all from single-user mode or should I boot up from a rescue
disk with resize2fs on it?  If so, how do I make a rescue disk? :)

Thanks a lot for all your help,
Max

 heard of resize2fs but it appears that it's not available other than
 as part of Partition Magic.  Is there anything else out there?

Hello Max,

i think you don't need Partition Magic.

If my calculations are correct it looks as if it would be possible to
copy all files from /dev/sda6 to /dev/sda7 (with copy -dpR) and then you
have to change your fstab. After testing if everything is ok you may
even go further and do the reverse with /home on /dev/sda7. In any case
it is a good idea to have a Linux Boot-Disk prepared and tested. A
backup too is advisable before changing your system.

Not long ago i was in about the same situation and after reading and
testing it worked fine for me.

Re: corel on linux

1999-04-16 Thread Mark Phillips
 take a peak at this, http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,35166,00.html
 
 excerpt,
 
 Corel will base a Linux product based on the version of Linux from
 Debian. Though Debian's Linux can be purchased at many sites, Debian
 is a non-profit organization


So perhaps Corel is doing what many of us have been hoping for --- a
commercial distribution based on Debian!

Have there been any discussions between Debian and Corel, or is Corel
simply grabbing it?  Ie, is Corel going to contribute to Debian at
all?

Cheers,

Re: Switching pine to mutt - but...

1999-04-16 Thread Shao Zhang

Hi Daniel,
Thank you very much for your wonderfull Pine-muttrc. Now, I am really into 
mutt
instead of pine.

By the way, does mutt have anything similar to the pine's addressbook?? I 
know
the alias command can do that in mutt,
but I still find pine's addressbook is very usefull. Eg, if I want to send a 
mail to
10 people, I can just select them in pine,
but in mutt, do I have to type out all of those ten people's alias? Creating a
mailing list is not that usefull because I won't
send mails to these ten in future, and probably it will be a different 10 people
anyway.

Thanks for your help.


Shao.

Re: Switching pine to mutt - but...

1999-04-16 Thread Adam Lazur
Shao Zhang ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) said:
 By the way, does mutt have anything similar to the pine's
 addressbook?? I know the alias command can do that in mutt, but I
 still find pine's addressbook is very usefull. Eg, if I want to send
 a mail to 10 people, I can just select them in pine, but in mutt, do
 I have to type out all of those ten people's alias? Creating a
 mailing list is not that usefull because I won't send mails to these
 ten in future, and probably it will be a different 10 people

Simple Answer: hit Tab twice in the To: field inside of mutt

Long Rant Answer: I think you may have to prompt for To: address, or
you could probably do it in the post-edit send menu by changing the
To: address, but anyway, when you get to the To: prompt in the status
bar hit tab twice, this will bring up your addressbook (a list of
your aliases from your alias file). When you're in there you can
simply select/deselect recipients by hitting enter on their names. Hit
'q' to exit this menu, and all of the people you selected should be
filled in on the To: line.

 Well... from the documenations, it seems that diald.options, and

What version of diald do you have (dpkg -s diald to find out)?  I have

 So... is there some areas that need to be configured beside diald to

 I am sort of lost here and I am considering un-installing the diald and
 do a installation by source instead to make it work since the debianized

I suggest that you try re-installing the diald package.  Diald.options should
not be missing from /etc/diald.

 ...and the documenations from the diald's website says quite a few things
 differently here as well.

The diald web page may be assuming a Slackware or Red Hat system and/or a
different version of diald.  Diald is well documented in the diald man page
and in /use/doc/diald.

Try reinstalling diald.  If that doesn't fix the missing files, contact the
maintainer (Philippe Troin [EMAIL PROTECTED]).  Once you have a complete
installation, get ppp working (suggest pppconfig) and edit
/etc/diald/diald.options to look something like this:

 The second way is that ISP's are not allowing their dialup IP addresses
 from making direct conntections on port 25 to IP addresses outside of
 their network. It is a simple router configuration and all IP addresses

That sounds like the ISP is not providing full Internet connectivity

See if you can get the libdl, libXt, libX11, libXpm, libSM, libICE and
ld-linux libs that MATHWORKS compiled the MATLAB binary against and stick 
them in one of the Matlab 5.3 directories, probably
/usr/local/matlab5.3/sys/os/lnx86, listed below in your ldd output. 
The libs that it is currently pulling in are compiled against libc6 and
that is why it is pulling in libc6 as well.  Ask them to stick all the
required libs on there ftp site somewhere(as I am sure others will have
the problem as well), they currently have all the libs for 5.2 at 
ftp://ftp.mathworks.com/pub/tech-support/outgoing/linux/matlab5.

This is what I have for my copy of 5.2:

 !ldd /usr/local/matlab5/bin/lnx86/matlab

 When I start matlab is says,

 BTW, the license manager appears to be up and running.
 
 Here is an env variable that was used to find all the needed libs.

 I suspect matlab is confused since it is finding libc.so.6, as well as
 libc.so.5 . Mathworks says they don't support libc6.  If this is the
 problem how would I, just for matlab ;-), hide the fact that libc6 is on
 my system?  How does it find /lib/libc.so.6 when it doesn't want it?
 
 Commercial products linked against old libs are frustrating...

Thanks to the person who was helping me get x11amp 0.9-beta1.1 working on my
slink machine.  I just got it working today.  I had to compile my own gtk1.2
and gdk1.2 from the sources in potato (debian/rules binary is so nice!) and I
removed all other versions of gtk, glib, and gdk which meant recompiling gimp
from said potato sources (something I was meaning to do anyway).

After that, I just compiled x11amp as per usual and all was fine.

For those not up on the discussion, ldd on the x11amp binary did not report
linking libgtk-1.2.so.0 and its friends and x11amp was having problems running
that would be expected from problems like that.

Is your bios set to boot off the floppy?  I have two drives like
yourself.  My bios is set to boot off the 'C' (HD w/windows) drive and
then the 'A' (floppy).  I use lilo which is installed on the mbr of

Boot floppy

1999-04-16 Thread Amal Phadke
Hi all,

I am trying to make a boot floppy. I downloaded the boot-floppies*
package. But during the installation it craps out due to dependency
problems. The packages that dpkg complains as not been installed are
actually there (eg teTeX) since I built those myself from sources without
using dpkg. I have the custom kernel image in .deb format. Is there an
alternate way to create a boot floppy?

Well, mostly. I used it and CHernov's page to instal cyrillics, it went
pretty well.

 
 For one, it says that using xkb is not recommended. Is it still so? Why?

I have no ideaI use xruskb-1.4.2, works perfectly well for me.

 
 I've installed xruskb package, and added path to cyrillic fonts to
 XF86config. Now Xterm shows russian symbols w/o any extra
 settings. BTW, I left all the Xkb settings as they were in
 /etc/X11/Xmodmap, and so far no problems with that.
 
 My biggest concern is Xemacs. I'm dying to make it use cyrillics. Do I
 need to install Mule for that? Or can it be done by just changing
 default fonts somewhere?

I think you need to install Mule. I don't even remember changing anything
in my xemacs20, except playing with Mule.

Ok, I've a workaround: I've compiled the library
by myself. The steps:

- Download kdelibs-1.1.tar
- Untar, ./configure etc.
- cd kfile; make ; make install
- Copy /usr/local/kde/lib/libkfile.so.2.0.0 to /usr/X11R6/lib

and voila!

I think you can make debs from the tar-file (there's a debian
directory) but I've never done such things before.

Good Luck!

Re: How to install Pine

1999-04-16 Thread John Galt

first, do you have the package cpio installed: the .dsc file needs it for
some reason.  What you're talking about sounds like what happened when i
tried to install without cpio.  Another package you need is patch: I'm
surprised that patch isn't a dependency for dpkg-dev, but it isn't and is
needed to use dpkg-source in most cases I've seen.  HTH

compile error--my choice of options, or the program?

1999-04-16 Thread kaynjay
Hello all,

I'm trying to compile a large program wherein I had to choose a series of
options for my system (Linux/PC vs. SGI, etc).  The entire output of the
compile is the following lines:

g++  -DNDEBUG -O3-c -DWRITEPDBQSTATE main.cc
main.cc:60: declaration of C function `int gethostname(char *, int)'
conflicts with /usr/include/unistd.h:662: previous declaration `int
gethostname(char *, size_t)' here make: *** [main.o] Error 1

I am not a programmer, so this means nothing beyond the obvious it screwed
up somewhere to me.  Compiler options I chose in the makefile are:

# Edit this Makefile to reflect your machine architecture.
#
# Specifically, change these variables:
# LIB, CSTD, CFLAGS, OPT, OLIMIT, LINT, LINTFLAGS, LINK, WARN,  CC. #
# If you need to use debugging or profiling, these should also be  #
modified appropriately:
# DBUG  PROF
[...]
CC = g++
LIB = -lm -lg++
CSTD = $(DBUG) $(PROF) $(WARN)
CFLAGS = $(OPT)
OPTLEVEL = -O3
OPT = $(CSTD) $(OPTLEVEL)
OLIMIT = $(OPT)
LINKOPT = $(OPT)
LINK = $(LINKOPT)
LINT = lint
LINTFLAGS = $(LIB) -c 
DBUG = -DNDEBUG
PROF= 
WARN = 

with the dependencies line being:
main.o : main.cc hybrids.h ranlib.h gs.h ls.h rep.h support.h main.h
constants.h autocomm.h dpftoken.h structs.h autoglobal.h  autocomm.h
$(CC) $(OLIMIT) -c -DWRITEPDBQSTATE main.cc

Can anyone tell whether the error is an issue with my system setup and/or
these options, or is it likely a programming glitch?  Is there more info I
need to show to determine this? 

Thanks,

ndisasm is full of bugs

1999-04-16 Thread Fabio Olive leite
Hi there!

I've noticed some problems with ndisasm really long ago (maybe even as
long as debian 1.2), but I never bothered to complain. It's just that when
I try to disassemble something, it just doesn't recognise the automatic
sync points it should (using -a). When I try to set fixed sync points it
just stops disassembling at the point I tell it to sync. Today I also
tried to skip a part of the binary I was trying to disassemble with -k,
and it also stopped at the point I told it to ignore.

I'm using the latest nasm.deb (it's the same on slink and potato, BTW). I
did not find any open bugs on the subject on debian.org, nor was it
mentioned on Nasm's homepage at www.cryogen.com/Nasm.

Am I the only one having these problems?

Cheers!

Well, if you did not install teTeX via dpkg, then for dpkg they're
_not_there_. You can force install overriding dependencies, though, if you
feel it should work. Just man dpkg.

Anyway, if you feel like building your own packages, you can allways do so
using debian source packages. You can then modify whatever you want and
still have your dependencies right.

new ATI graphics boards

1999-04-16 Thread Stephan Engelke
Hi everyone,

I am thinking of upgrading my computer's graphics board to 
either one of the two new ATI cards: ATI Rage Magnum or ATI Rage Fury.
I am not sure what the difference between these two cards is
(my dealer didn't either) - except for the price.

Now I am wondering if anyone has any experience with either one of
these two boards?  How do they perform under X11?  Do they work at all?
I could not find these cards listed in the compatibility lists at
www.xfree86.org?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, btw.  the other day I complained about M-x brew-coffee not working
in emacs :-) ... Thanks to all those who pointed me to the
Coffee-mini-HOWTO.  Has anyone actually build this?

So long,
Stephan

Re: oddness from getgrnam()

1999-04-16 Thread E.L. Meijer \(Eric\)
 
 I was testing a program and to see how it handled an invalid group I did:
 
 gr = getgrnam(bob);
 
 Now obviously this failed.  However the string from perror() states:
 
 Could not find file or directory
 
 Why is this?  Seems like a counter intuitive error.

I think the error is not set by getgrnam().  If I run


#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include grp.h

int main(void)
{
  struct group* gr;
  perror(before);
  gr = getgrnam(tgakem);
  perror(after);

  return 0;
}


it always prints

before: Success
after: No such file or directory

It makes no difference if tgakem exists (which it happens to do) or
if it doesn't.  My guess is that getgrnam tries to look for group
descriptions in several files, of which at least one does not exist.

If I run the above program with strace (strace ./prg) and grep for
`open', I get

open(/etc/ld.so.preload, O_RDONLY)= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open(/etc/ld.so.cache, O_RDONLY)  = 3
open(/lib/libc.so.6, O_RDONLY)= 3
open(/etc/nsswitch.conf, O_RDONLY)= 3
open(/etc/ld.so.cache, O_RDONLY)  = 3
open(/lib/libnss_compat.so.1, O_RDONLY) = 3
open(/lib/libnsl.so.1, O_RDONLY)  = 3
open(/lib/libnss_files.so.1, O_RDONLY) = 3
open(/etc/group, O_RDONLY)= 3

As you can see the first file could not be opened.  I checked and it
indeed does not exist on my system, so that will have triggered the
error message.  The getgrnam function returns NULL on failure, and
apparently does not manipulate errno.

HTH,
Eric

Xdvi doesn't show any eps files in slink

Hello debianers,

Xdvi does not display any included eps files in the slinks version
(package tetex-bin, version 0.9.981113-2). IIRC this used to work with
the hamm distribution.

Starting any PostScript viewer (gs/gv/ghostscript) with the eps file
displays it correctly though the errors below are shown _after_
displaying the file (at least with gs and gv, not with ghostview).

Is there a workaround for this (btw I'm using gs-aladdin 5.10-9)?

Starting xdvi with an eps file generated by tgif produces the following

Re: Xauth, how to get rid of it?

1999-04-16 Thread John Stevenson
There is a nice little command called xhost which allows you to
specifiy from which machines users are allowed to run X
applications.

So this alters the Magic Cookie stuff.  If you type:

xhost +mymachine

where mymachine is the hostname of the computer you are
currently typing at, then no matter what user you su to, then
you are able to run X applications.  I do this when I want to
install applications when they have X installs.

First I login as username then run startx and work as normal. 
If I want to run an X applicaton as another user, say root to
install a non-debianised X app, then I would type the above
command first then su to root.  I can now run all the X apps I
so desire.

I also use this mechanism to read my email stored on another
machine, using netscape as my mail reader.  I type:

xhost +othermachinename
rlogin othermachinename
export DISPLAY=mymachine:0.0
netscape -mail 

In order, this allows me to run and X application from another
machine using xhost.
Then I login to the other machine.
Then tell the othermachine to put the X applications display on
mymachine so I can control it.
Then I run my X application.

A word of warning though, if you do xhost +  then you are
allowing anyone to run an X app on your machine, which may be
not what you desire.

Hope this all helps.

  If it is the first (and you get an error like:
server is already active for display :0, or something)
  you can fix it with
startx -- :1
  to start the second X server on display 1.  This will probably associate
  it with ctrlaltF8.
 
  If it is the second, I think you have a problem (X not exiting
  properly?) 'cos I don't think that should happen.
 
 I get those annoying MAGIC COOKIE warnings when I su from a regular user and
 this even happens when I use vim after 'su'.  I am still able to edit stuff,
 and the only problem is when I need to run some X program as superuser.
 I saw somewhere how to deal with this Xauth stuff, but I don't remember where.

Space problems

1999-04-16 Thread Vesa Kaihlavirta

My Debian slink used to crash all the X-programs I tried to run, and I
couldn't figure why. So I went the Windows-way: reinstall.

I partitioned my HD also in a new way: smaller /dev/hda1 (/ 256Mb), larger
/dev/hda2 (/usr ab. 5Gb) and a swap /dev/hda3 (100mb). After installing and
apt-getting all the packages, I noticed that I was little short-sighted:
/dev/hda1 might run out of space pretty quickly.

I wouldn't want to reinstall everything, so I figured that I create
/usr/local/home and link it to /home. 

Is this stupid? If not, can I also do the same thing with /var/spool/mail
without breaking important?

Is there a better way?

Re: linux usage by well known sites

If you have RealPlayer, drop this into Open Location in the File menu.
It's the keynotes speech for the LinuxWorld expo:

pnm://audio.cnet.com/1999/03/02/lwce02.ra/28_8.36

Apparently, Oracle have a Linux box on 1 in 10 of their developers.
Listen for yourself. Web applications are going to be big, it seems.

This link is Linus' speech, and describes future development of Linux:

Hope this helps, enjoy!

missing file (/etc/ld.so.preload)

1999-04-16 Thread ivan
Hello,

Trying to debug a programme (still :)) and I have looked at the strace log
that I created.

The strace log gives the following error
open(/etc/ld.so.preload, O_RDONLY)= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

This is the third line of the log file.

I checked the directory and this file is definitely missing.  Should this file
be present and if so where do I obtain it ?

TIA
Ivan.
