problema con el modem
Hola, Tengo un problemilla con el modem: resulta que antes me marcaba, me conectaba y hacia de todo con el pero me vi obligado a reinstalar mi linux y ahora no consigo que marque. Es un SupraExpress 33.6i PnP, ya lo he configurado con el isapnp a IRQ 10 y puerto 0x3E8h, como lo tenia antes. Tambien hice la misma configuracion con el pppconfig. El problema es que cuando intenta marcar responde con un NO DIALTONE. Con Windows no me ha dado ninguna cosa rara y no crea que sea por tener el kernel 2.2 porque me lo hacia antes de instalarlo. Alguna idea? Gracias de antemano, ((enol))

Background Vivo en WMAKER
Hola, Desde hace algún tiempo actualicé mi distribución a potato y lo mismo hice con los paquetes del wmaker, etc... el caso es que cuando arranco con mi usuario normal (no root) al entrar en wmaker, el wmsetbg me asigna automáticamente una serie de fondos gráficos para cada escritorio, sin que yo los haya elegido... Sin embargo desde root no pasa, el mismo background en todos los Escritorios (Workspaces). Recuerdo que me instalé varios themes y andé jugando poniendo y quitando algunos, al actualizar los menues de los thems cambiaron un poco. Siempre que arranco WMAKER me salen los mismos fondos para cada uno de los escritorios. Me gustaría saber como desactivar esto que hace el wmsetbg, si lo mato y lo arranco a mano no pasa, pero quiero que nada más arrancar las X cargue el theme y se deje de ponerme un fondo distinto que en ningún momento yo quise... Bueno, si me podeis ayudar me vendría genial. Un saludo Daniel

Paulo Henrique Baptista havia mancionado uma idéia semelhante, o que acha da idéia de Christiano Paulo?. A minha opinião, sobre o bom andamento das traduções, é a necessidade de: 1-) Criar um site onde serão colocadas as traduções já prontas que poderão ser revisadas pelos usuários e desenvolvedores da lista(a participação dos usuários também é importante no desenvolvimento de documentos de boa qualidade e entendimento, nem sempre os desenvolvedores são craques em Portugues, mas nós nos esforçamos para desenvolver um documento com o mínimo de erros e o máximo de compreensão, é importante ter um time de usuários dispostos a revisar documentos. 2-) Outro com uma relação de documentos que tem a necessidade de serem traduzidos e os que estão em andamento(com o E-mail dos respectivos mantedore, para contato). A prioridade são os documentos que guiarão os novos usuários a terem um primeiro contato com a Debian, como o manual de instalação, dselect, cfdisk, fips, manual do usuário, etc. Recentemente enviei um E-Mail aos Desenvolvedores Oficiais da Debian perguntando sobre a criação de páginas específicas para uso dos desenvolvedores na manutenção e divulgação de projetos e traduções de documentos, felizmente a equipe da Debian é flexível e permite que os documentos sejam desenvolvidos paralelamente e depois enviados a distribuição principal. Isso é importante pois agiliza muito o trabalho de desenvolvimento de uma equipe, sem contar que as pessoas que se interessarem na tradução de projetos estarão em contato com administradores que falam a nossa língua, sem precisar aprender como utilizar o CVS e outros programas do tipo para o desenvolvimento, sendo somente utilizado pela pessoa autorizada para envio a Distribuição Oficial. Os administradores da Debian há pouco tempo tiveram problemas com pessoas que utilizavam indevidamente o CVS. 3-) Criar uma lista de discussão para tratar exclusivamente sobre o andamento destes projetos e notificação de novos documento e versões. Mas por enquanto não creio que utilizarmos a debian-user-portuguese para isto ira gerar algum problema, ela esta meia parada utimamente... É necessário criar pelo menos o Item 2, para termos controle sobre o andamento dos projetos de tradução. Cordialmente Gleydson MailBR - O e-mail do Brasil!

Em tempo o programa é legal em palavras normais mas pra se ter uma noção to boot(dar partida Não?) vira calçar as botas assim vc vai calçar as botas no LINUX , A utilização de um programa de tradução é somente útil como um dicionário auxiliar. Já testei vários deles, e o resultado é um texto que não obedece o padrão do original, e foge da tradução. Até os fabricantes destes produtos afirmam que sua tradução deve ser levada apenas como um rascunho. Na tradução de documentos sobre informática a coisa se agrava pois existem muitos termos técnicos que não são interpretados corretamentes pelo programa. A melhor tradutor para um documento é um pessoa que compreenda o idioma Inglês e o assunto que esta sendo traduzido para não se enrolar com os termos técnicos. Outro problema são as adaptações para o idioma, muitas vezes um termo no texto Original não é o apropriado na nossa língua, devendo ser modificado para melhor compreensão. Esse tipo de tradutor inteligente sempre resulta em um documento de qualidade. Além disso, voce exercita e amplia o aprendizado sobre o assunto que esta sendo traduzido e a compreensão do idioma Ingles. Gleydson MailBR - O e-mail do Brasil!

Here is a practical example of what I mean.I am trying to sell the concept of Linux to a friend of mine who only uses W95 at the moment. Suppose I wanted to create a screenshot (.BMP) from a session that I was running in WMaker or Afterstephow would I get it across to W95 so that I could EMail the picture to him ?? (Is a BMP in Linux the same format as a BMP file in W95 ?) ...and talking about EMails, can anyone give me any leads on the best way I can connect to the Net in Linux, surf the Net, send/receive EMails, participate in Chat programs etc. ? I'm experienced in W95, but I am only starting out in the world of Unix (...a whole new world), so if any responses could be in layman's terms I would be grateful :) Thanks in advance for your help !! regards, Andrew J Fortune

Re: XF86Setup
Von: Rick Macdonald [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the XF86Config file, in Section Screen, add a Virtual parameter to each subsection, and set it to the max res for that subsection. I've got a dozen 'Subsection Display' entries - under Driver Accel, Driver SVGA, Driver VGA16 and Driver VGA2. In each case there is one line: Modes 1024*768800*600640*480 If I split the line or insert eg 'Virtual 800 600' in the middle, I get an error message when I 'startx'. So can you tell me where I put these lines? Actually, I may have misinterpreted your question. Yes, sorry, perhaps it was not very clear. There are actually two questions, as explained later. You can only have one Virtual for each subsection, which you would set to the maximum res: Subsection Display Depth 16 Modes 1152x864-75c 1024x768-101 800x600-81 640x480-99 ViewPort0 0 Virtual 1152 864 EndSubsection All the 'Modes' lines are identical - Modes 1024*768 800*600 *640*480 Should I, for example, amend one of them to Modes 800*600 640*480 and then write Virtual 800 600? That's the first question, which concerns how I see the screen - I'd like to understand how to control these things but if I can't, frankly, I don't really mind too much. The second question concerns how java applets are read: If an applet wants to present something that should more or less fill the screen, it can get the screen size from the local system and size the image accordingly. In M$ Windows, 640*480 means that a 640*480 image would fill the screen, but it seems that Linux by default returns the size of the largest screen available, and if the user is actually in a lower screen resolution he/she either would not realise that they are missing something or would have to change their resolution to see everything.

You can learn how the other, standard Unix, packages are installed and configured (you need a mail transfer agent, a mail user agent, and newsgroup reader) but these are really only needed if your planning on setting your machine up as a server. For end-user only type of activity (web surfing) just get Netscape. Note: Netscape is available in Debian 2.1 as deb files, otherwise make sure you get the glibc2 version from ftp.netscape.com (under the 'unsupported' dir tree).

It claims that #include sstream will allow strings to be manipulated as streams. sstream: No such file or directory g++ tells me. Ok then, i'll just check the docs i think to myself. Tried the manpages. Tried info. Tried looking in /usr/doc. i couldn't even find anything about the c++ string class (which i know i have), much less using them as streams! Hmmm... did i miss a -doc somewhere?. Fired up dselect, and couldn't find any c++ docs at all, installed or uninstalled... So, does anyone know where the docs are? Or at least how to use something like what the book is talking about? Unfortunately, there is very little distributed with egcs nor in the way of actual documentation for either the compiler or the libraries. For STL there is a considerable array of texts. Depending on how good you are with C++, you could use Glass and Schuchert, The STL PRIMER published by Prentice Hall. This was writted by them for a two or three days of 8 hour classes. If you already have the STL details in hand, this is very a good encapsulation of the STL. PJ Plauger has several books on STL and on the libraries. He directed the C++ library part of the standards committee. Most of his books are published by Prentice Hall. Go to the PH web page and search for Plauger. A book I like, but is old, that I still use extensively is Teale, C++ IOStreams Library,m the trout book from Addison Wesley. That book is dated, but if you try all the stuff he suggests, you will find it a gold mine. If you are a C++ beginner, you should use book like Savitch, Problem Solving in C++, Addison Wesley, which I had the pleasure of doing the revision under Prof Savitch's careful guidance. It deals with the language and some of the libraries. Next a beginner in the STL might go to Budd, Data Structrues in C++, aslos Addison Wesley. IF you are reasonably gooa at C++ programming, and intereseted in the Intel architecture in a micro soft environmnet, use Nelson's C++ Programmer's Guide form IDG books. If you are an advanced C++ programmer, then for STL you could use STL Tutorial and Reference Guide, Musser and Saini, Addison Wesley. As has been mentioned, Stroustrup, The C++ Programming Language 3rd, and LIppman and Lajoie, C++ Primer, contain a vast amount of information. These are Addison Wesley books. Last but not least is the array of places on the WWW where you can find vast arrays of documenation and tutorials. --David David Teague, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely, useful, technically accurate, and friendly. Hope this qualifies.
Re: c++ docs
You are probably looking for 'strstream' which you can include headers for with '#include strstream'. The name of this class has been strstream for a couple of years, but all of the STL stuff is relatively young, so if your book is more than (about) two years old, many thngs may end up slightly inaccurate. There is a package named 'stl-manual' that has some docs, but again the stl is too yung for much standarization between different libraries. So small things may be different. At least, with newer versions of eg++, you can use default template parameters; the former HP library did not uise them since g++ didn;t support them Carl

Re: XF86Setup
May I rephrase a question I asked a day or two ago? I'm running hamm with a mach64 card and a screen whose specs match the super vga details in XF86Setup. I've configured things for 1024*768, 800*600 and 640*480. Whichever of the modes (is that the right word?) I'm in, the screen size stays at 1024*768. If, for example, I'm in 640*480, my physical screen displays 5/8 (okay, 25/64) of the available image, and I can pan around to see the rest. Is this what should happen? If so, is there another way to configure it so that the available image just fills the visible screen and no more? This is called a virtual desktop. When you are configuring the order of modes, it asks you whether you want virtual desktop or not. Since you don't want it, say No. I can't stand it either...but I use 3 out of 4 desktop screens. If not, does anybody know what I might have done wrong? Incidentally, there is a noticeable (livable with, but perhaps indicative of error) chunk of blank (black) on the left of the screen, although XF86Setup itself filled the screen perfectly. You xvidtune. It's pretty safe, while you know the max hsync/vsync of your monitor and the clock freq. Just make sure that those values are not exceeded when configuring system. (This is how I get around my problem: I have a 1280x1024 res. but the monitor leaves a top and right sides blank by about 3/4 inch. I vidtune it everytime I have to restart X, which is not very often. I am sure there is a way to change settings in XF86Setup, but I just don't feel like doing it.). Andrei --- Andrei S.

Re: We need centralized accounts -- Any docs for ldap passwords?
On 31 May 1999, Rob Browning wrote: OK, so it sounds like we just need shadow/passwd/group support, and as far as I can tell we should be mostly good to go if we 1) firewall access to the ldap server from outside our subnet. 2) import etc/group and passwd via migrate_foo.pl 3) edit our nssswitch.conf as directed in /usr/doc/libnss-ldap/README 4) cross our fingers. Well, it seems to work well for me (though so far only on a test machine). What I don't really know is how doing this interacts with the normal mechanisms. I would presume that we can just use LDAP for user accounts, and leave the system accounts in /etc/passwd, etc. That's a logical thing to do. You might also want to set mail-clients use this ldap for mail address searching. I'm guessing from the nsswitch entry it'll just fall back to that if LDAP fails on a given lookup, but how does LDAP interact with adduser, userdel, addgroup, /usr/bin/passwd, etc. Does it update the right things, or do we have to do manual synchs? libpam-ldap will allow password change. The rest have to be done manually (or through some customized software. I am considering Ganymede.) Although there is a nice package pam-mkhomedir that will automatically create homedirs (and copy /etc/skel stuff) if it does not exist. If the latter, then it seems like it might be worth us considering not using LDAP at all, and just whipping up some ssh synch thingy for these bits... You'll sure have to weight various pro and cons of both approaches. Ldap will just allow more things to use it for. Sergey.

I am trying to work out ... is it possible to share files between the two operating systems (i.e. Linux and W95) ? Yes; with the default kernel (or one you compile yourself (you won't try this for a few weeks probably)), Linux can access DOS/Windows partitions.

As root (aka super-user), make sure you have an empty directory, for example, /Win95. Then use the command mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /Win95. This assumes your Windows partition is Win95-style (ie long filenames); if just regular DOS-formatted, it'd be mount -t dos (the -t means type). This command also assumes your Windows partition is on the first partition on the first IDE drive (/dev/hda1).

seemingly random lock-ups
My machine (Debian 2.1 slink, stock kernel (2.0.36)) has been locking up on me unpredictably. This occurs every several (3-4 on average) days and has been happening ever since I installed Linux on this machine. (There is no other OS on there.) My hardware is an Intel 200 MMX CPU on an Asus PI-P55/T2P4 motherboard. I am using a generic NE-2000-compatible network card, and a dial-up Internet connection with a USR Sportster 33.6 PnP (though jumpered for COM2). Anyway: I have my PPPD logging to syslog every 30 seconds so I can tell exactly when the freeze occurred even if I'm not there. Looking in syslog and messages, nothing unusual seems to happen... just that all of a sudden, the logging and everything else stops suddenly. I want to track this problem down, and I'm going to start swapping hardware to see if I can figure out what's causing this. I've already traded the netword card out for a different NE2K card, but the problem remains. Anyway, my question is: where else (besides syslog and messages) might I look for unusual traces of what might have happened just prior to the lock-up? Are there any other files that might give something away? Where would a kernel dump be (if the kernel did dump... which I doubt, but just in case...)? TIA for any information.

You can also do a part-diskette, part-net installation, but I have no experience with this. A tiny program called FIPS will repartition your hd w/out any trouble. Worked great for me.

Afterwards, if i try to mount another floppy it says mount: /dev/fd0 already mounted or /floppy busy. I can mount a floppy to other directories, so it must be /floppy that's busy, even though /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts both show it as not mounted. Further, i can't remove the floppy module from the kernel. Eventually i run out of directories to mount to and have to reboot. This is unacceptable. Any ideas? Did you try umounting /floppy? i had this problem when i was playing around with smbmount (stupid !@)#' $(%^* characters in the sharenames) (literally those characters, especially , ', and space) and it would fail and leave the directory wedged...

Re: c++ docs
On Mon, 31 May 1999, Brad wrote: Where are the docs for the c++ libraries? More specifically, i have a copy of C++ How To Program second edition here. It claims that #include sstream will allow strings to be manipulated as streams. sstream: No such file or directory g++ tells me. The next major release of g++ will probably have it. g++ currently has the older strstream, which descibes stream classes that operate on char*, not string. They can probably be used for mostly the same thing. The iostream library (including strstreams) is documented in the iostream info file, that comes with libstdc++2.9-dev. Just type `info iostream'. In the future strstream (which is not in the ANSI standard) will be replaced by sstream (which is in the ANSI standard), though I guess strstream will stay around for some time. Ok then, i'll just check the docs i think to myself. Tried the manpages. Tried info. Tried looking in /usr/doc. i couldn't even find anything about the c++ string class (which i know i have), much less using them as As someone else already pointed out, there is the stl-manual package, which contains the information from Silicon Graphics about the STL (g++ currently uses the SGI implementation). streams! Hmmm... did i miss a -doc somewhere?. Fired up dselect, and couldn't find any c++ docs at all, installed or uninstalled... So, does anyone know where the docs are? Or at least how to use something like what the book is talking about? Unfortunately, there is very little distributed with egcs nor in the way of actual documentation for either the compiler or the libraries. In the egcs-docs package there is extensive information about the compiler in info format. The description of the C++ libraries could be better, but the iostream library is descibed to some degree in the iostream info file. The C library is not part of egcs, but it is well documented in info format, and available in the glibcdoc package. It is actually readable (not just as a reference) and I recommend it to anyone who is programming in unix in C or C++. I expect information about the stl to pop up when g++ starts using the stl implementation from the egcs team. For now g++ uses the SGI stl and you can use its documentation.

Laptop suspend to disk

I did not recieve any documentation with my laptop (since I got it secondhand, or more like thirdhand), but any pointers would be appreciated. Also, how could I specify a runlevel from the lilo prompt. I want to use different runlevels for a 'docked' setup (with net stuff, etc.) and a 'undocked' setup (dummy net, etc.).

Installing separate packages / graphical login
hello, folks as I´m a debian newbie (coming from suse), may be the following questions are stupid, but I got stuck with them. 1) Is there a way to install a deb-package which is not included in the standard distribution. If I try to install a package that I downloaded from Internet, dselect always asks me on some package.cd files to recognize the packages as part of the distribution, which of course I cannot give, and so dselect does not do the job; and alien does only work correct with small packages (deb - rpm - install) without broken dependencies 2) where is the information stored, that debian starts with graphical login? I want to finish boot process at the prompt, but debian always starts his graphical login utility. Can this behaviour only be changed by deinstalling the utility? thanks in advance Roger

dselect woes
I am currently trying to install some packages in Debian 2.0 (using the CD Rom), using dselect. I can select them without any problem, however when I choose the option to actually install them, I get the following error message : mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems. installation script returned error exit status 1.

(1) This is the response when I execute the mount command without any parameters : /dev/hdb2 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/hda1 on /mnt/cdrive type msdos (rw) /dev/hdb1 on /mnt/ddrive type msdos (rw) (2) This is the contents of /etc/fstab (I added in the line for the cdrom, thinking that it might make the difference but it didn't) : # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # file system mount point type options dump pass /dev/hdb2 / ext2defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hdb3 noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/hdc/cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto 0 0 proc/proc procdefaults0 0 Any help appreciated !!

Go fig (-: Also, how could I specify a runlevel from the lilo prompt. I want to use different runlevels for a 'docked' setup (with net stuff, etc.) and a 'undocked' setup (dummy net, etc.). Or are there a better way of doing this?? Best thing here is VERY early in the boot, come up with a way to check what run level you are in, then place a script like this: if docked then telinit dock level elsif undocked then telinit undock level else go boom fi telinit is passed the number for the desired level.
Re: oracle 8.0.5 with glibc2.1
Hi, I am running Oracle 8.0.5.0 on a slink (glib2.0) machine and it works very well. BTW, version 8.0.5.1 (enterprise edition) has been released some months ago and is downloadable from the web. You can find it at: ftp://ftp.oracle.com/pub/www/otn/linux/. It will probably not fix your problem.

Re: Changing IP address
Well,
I have now have the linux system working on my network. I ended up changing
the network
broadcast, and netmask to (XXX.XXX.XXX.0, XXX.XXX.XXX.255, and 255.255.255.0
respectively). I do not know why I had to do this as my network mask was far
more
restrictive 255.255.255.248 with my last ISP. I guess I need to do a little
more studying
on what each of these parameters do.
I do still have a few behavior problems (my network that is :) !
1. My windows 95 system can not see my linux samba server in network
neighborhood (it use
to see it fine). I can type in the link by hand \\linuxsystemid\username to
create the
link. Does anybody know if there is a parameter in samba that relates to
system IP
addresses?
2. My router logs into the internet every time my windoze 95 system powers up
and connects
to the samba servers. I think this has to do with the netmask...
Thanks to everyone who has helped!

One thing to note is this system was working perfectly on the network before
I was
forced to change my IP addresses. All I want to do is setup the new IP
addresses in
the system. I would think the only thing I would need to do is set the
correct IP and
netmasks.

To change the IP address of a system the following files need to be
modified.
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
executes without any errors.
route add -net ${NETWORK}
executes and gives the error SIOCADDR: invalid argument
Yeah, if you are using a 2.2.x kernel, comment this line out, the network
route is auto-added when you ifconfig the interface.

Re: dselect woes
I am currently trying to install some packages in Debian 2.0 (using the CD Rom), using dselect. I can select them without any problem, however when I choose the option to actually install them, I get the following error message : mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems. installation script returned error exit status 1. Press RETURN to continue. Try typing mount /cdrom at the command prompt. See what happens.
RE: Changing IP address
Samba sends out broadcast packets saying what services it has available to the network. If the netmask is set incorrectly the other machines on the network don't get the broadcast and don't see the machine in network neighborhood. Your router is dialing out 'cuse it thinks that the machine is on a different network and is trying to reach it through the net. The only samba setting that needs an ip (I think) is the 'win server'. 255.255.255.248 gives a range of 8 IPs, with six usable IPs (first is network ip, last is broadcast). --Dano -Original Message- From: Doug Thistlethwaite [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 1999 10:13 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Changing IP address Well, I have now have the linux system working on my network.

libvga and doom problems...

I simply opened the text file containing the errors with netscape then copy pasting-or are they only showing up on my screen? I am using K 1.1.1 and netscape 4.6 if that makes a difference.

Typically, the BIOSes I've seen let you configure the *drive densities* any way you want, but which one is really the A: and which the B: drive depends on where the drives are on the cable. You'll see flaky problems in DOS or Linux if you get it the wrong way round. I.e., your statement: In the BIOS setup I have configured the 1.44 MB drive as A: and the other floppy drive as B: probably ought to be: In the BIOS setup I have configured the A: drive as 1.44 MB and the other floppy drive (B:) as 1.2 MB. Big difference, and the wrong thing to do. :-) Maybe this is no longer true in the newer BIOSes, but I tend to doubt it... I'll bet your drives don't work right in DOS either.
