Windows me salvó el procesador. :'(
Hola debianitas.
Pues que me compré hace dos meses un pc con K6-2/400 y, como es normal, me
rozaban los cables con las aspas del disipador del procesador. Las separé bien.
Hace poco (mis hijos usan windows para los juegos) me avisaron de que se oía un
pitido continuo. Pensé que era un aviso de calentamiento. Ante la insistencia
de esto, abrí la torre, y el ventilador, o no se movía o lo hacía poco. Lo
cambié y ya está.
Pero lo que me humilla de esta situación es que ha tenido que ser windows, quien
me avise.
Seguro que en linux esto se puede hacer, además mejor. Algo configuré mal en el
núcleo (mi inglés es de ir por casa).
Ante esta lamentable situación, ¿Alguien me sabe decir cómo configurar el núcleo
para que sea linux quien me avise? Mi núcleo es 2.0.36. Tengo los discos de
Debian 2.1, pero todavía no lo he instalado.
Gracias.

Eterm y background
Hola. El tema va de Eterm-DR-0.7 sobre WindowMaker 0.20. La pagina man de Eterm esta muy desfasada y no encuentro forma de forzar que el background sea un pixmap en concreto. He probado con -bg -pixmap --pixmap, y muchas otras combinaciones. Al final abro Eterm con la siguiente linea (para lanzar mutt): Eterm -n mutt --font 9x15 -e mutt pero como el pixmap de fondo es aleatorio, a veces para poder ver el texto tengo que lanzarlo varias veces hasta que me toca uno decente. ¿Como fuerzo el background a un .ppm determinado?

Buenas. He visto que el fichero al que hago mención ha sido sustituido por uno llamado /etc/X11/xdm/xdm.options. El problema es que no sé qué debo poner ahí. He probado a poner la opción del antiguo fichero Config; no-xdm-start-server, pero no funciona. Bueno, para todo aquel que no lo sepa: Se debe editar el fichero /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers, y comentar la última línea, la que pone :0 /usr/bin/X11/X vt7, y todo vuelve a la normalidad.

En /etc/init.d/ debes tener entre los scripts de los diferentes demonios que debe arrancar tu Linux, el del xdm. Muévelo a otro directorio (al de root por ejemplo) para no perderlo (por si luego quieres que te vuelva a arrancar), rearranca la máquina y ya está. Como quieres una respuesta rápida, no me ha dado tiempo a mirar más. Supongo que debe haber algún ficherito de configuración por ahí perdido ... espera ... . . . . . . pues no, mirando el script no parece que busque en ningún fichero de configuración la posibilidad de que se le diga que no arranque.

3Com Etherlink III 3c509
Hola, Estoy intentando instalar la Slink en un 486 para montar un servidor de web y el problema es que he tropezado con el primer problema. La tarjeta que tiene instalado el ordenador es una 3Com Etherlink III ISA 3c509. A la hora de configurar los módulos no he logrado que el 3c509 funcione. He estado leyendo el Ethernet-Howto y parece que hay un problema con la configuración PnP que tienen estas tarjetas. El problema es que según el HOWTO lo que hay que hacer es irse a las utilidades de la tarjeta y quitarle el modo PnP con los programas. El problema es que el ordenador era un ordenador antiguo y no encuentro los diskettes con los drivers aunque supongo que ya encontrare alguna versión por la red. Lo que quiero saber es si esta es la única forma de configurar esta tarjeta. ¿Alguna idea? Bueno, gracias de antemano. -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Cesar Talon email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Laboratorio de Bajas Temperaturas / Dpto.Física de la Materia condensada Universidad Autonoma de Madrid / Cantoblanco, E-28049 Madrid Phone: +34 91 397 4756 / Fax: +34 91 397 3961 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Solo si tu setup (IRQ, etc...) no es el que viene por omisión de
fábrica. En mi caso tengo una sb16 PnP y no es necesario porque tiene
puestos los valores de fábrica y son los que le he dado al kernel al
compilar ( o con los kernel nuevos, los que he puesto en el
/etc/modutils/soundblaster) sin que me den ningún conflicto. Y me
funciona perfectamente, el módulo de sonido se autocarga perfectamente
con saytime, con xmix, con xplaycd y similares, excepto con xmcd, que es
el único con el que no se autocarga automáticamente
Como ves, no es imprescindible usar las isapnp en todos los casos.
De hecho ante la duda he estado probando a instalar de nuevo el
isapnptools, por si las moscas, con los valores correctos de la tarjeta
de sonido,

Lamento contradecirte, pero a la vista de lo que pasa con mi ordenador (por otra parte, una máquina tan universal de Turing como la tuya :-) concluyo que no es necesario el módulo de sonido para escuchar la música del CD con el xmcd por la salida de la Sound Blaster. Esta mañana, cuando he contestado a tu mensaje he hecho la prueba. En mi caso, al arrancar el WindowMaker suena el Al ataaqueerrrll de Chiquito con lo cual el módulo de sonido del kernel se carga en memoria. Yo estaba escuchando un CD con el xmcd cuando he leído tu mensaje. A continuación, he terminado la ejecución del xmcd y he descargado los módulos de sonido del kernel con rmmod -a. Tras asegurarme de que no estaban ya cargados en memoria (con lsmod), he arrancado nuevamente el xmcd y le he dado al play (prometo que no había ningún módulo cargado en memoria). Si fuese como tú dices, no se hubiese escuchado la música por los altavoces que tengo conectados a la salida de la SB y, sin embargo, sí que se ha escuchado. En ese momento, he hecho un lsmod ... y seguía sin haberse cargado ningún módulo de sonido, luego ... creo que podemos concluir (si no me he equivocado en alguno de los pasos seguidos) que no es necesario nada más que el cablecito del audio que conecta CD con SB para que la música suene a través de la SB.

Pues a mí no me parece nada raro que un programa que simplemente sirve para escuchar CD's, no solicite el sonido al kernel ... ¿para qué lo necesita? ¿Y si no tienes tarjeta de sonido? ¿Tendría eso que impedirte usar el programa para escuchar música? Insisto, es absolutamente normal que un programa que no necesita manipular la tarjeta de sonido (y un simple tocador de CD's no lo necesita para nada) no solicite los módulos de sonido.

Re: ¿Utilidad para desinstalar librerías sin usar?
El Sun, Jun 06, 1999 at 04:04:43AM +0200, Hue-Bond contaba: ¿En qué paquete está esta maravilla? :-) Ya lo dije: `pkg-order' Como puedes ver, está en la sección Misc: Package: pkg-order Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: misc Installed-Size: 193 Maintainer: Manoj Srivastava [EMAIL PROTECTED] Version: 1.02 Depends: perl (= 5.001), bsdmainutils Description: A Package dependency checker and install ordering tool It does dependency checks, if you wish. It knows the difference between installed, new (and available) packages, and the relationship fields (pre-depends, depends, recommends, and suggests). (For example, the current packages list need not be read in unless you want dependency checks; you may already have done that and now merely wish an ordering). It comes with a Test::Harness test suite, to protect the world against my typos. Oh, it knows about epochs as well if your dpkg does. This could be the basis of mass compiling the packages on a new architecture, or to build a release from scratch. . It creates associative arrays of currently installed packages (/var/lib/dpkg/status), and new packages (given a packages file at the command line). Then, in the checking dependency phase, for each package in the new packages list, it looks at the dependencies, and ensure that each dependency is satisfied in either the new list or the installed list. If the directive is satisfied from the list of new packages, that package is added to the list of packages to be topographically sorted. It understands Pre-Depends and will insert breaks into the sorted list to separate the installation process into separate runs as required to satisfy Pre-Dependencies. . All this is a set of perl5 libraries, so people may use the API in their own scripts. -- Saudos: ose[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Vigo/Galicia/España) http://pagina.de/xmanoel/ http://w3.to/mikkeli/ 06/07 Blind Faith debuts in concert at London's Hyde Park, 1969

My first impression is to tell you that you probably don't want to upgrade to libc6 2.1 as some people (myself included) have had problems with it. That said, if you do decide to go the libc6 2.1 route, you should consider upgrading your whole system to potato. It's an easy process (apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade). That said, what I'd do (and have done) is compile x11amp on your own. You'll need libgtk1.2-dev, libglib1.2-dev, esound-dev, libimlib-dev (may be gdk-imlib... anyway, all the stuff that's related to gtk v1.2) then get the source from www.x11amp.org, extract and compile. btw, if you can't find libgtk1.2-dev and its relatives, they're hiding in the gnome staging area.

Re: PCMCIA and NFS
Near the bottom of /etc/pcmcia/network.opts you'll see a couple of almost-empty
shell functions, start_fn() and stop_fn().
I believe they're installed originally as:
# Extra stuff to do after setting up the interface
start_fn () { return; }
# Extra stuff to do before shutting down the interface
stop_fn () { return; }
You can just change start_fn to be:
# Extra stuff to do after setting up the interface
start_fn () {
mount -a ;
return; }
My experience is in slink, but I suspect potato is similar.

My thoughts on the most likely problem, and someone pointing out a flaw in my theory, can probably be found in the list archives. If other people are having the same problem, then it should probably be fixed. By the way, I should amend the comments I made at the time. I postulated that some package (I forget which) didn't depend on another; the reply pointed out that the dependency actually was there. My theory now is that the dependency didn't specify the correct version of the package (I remember it just named the package, not a specific version). Hope this helps, Stuart.

Random partitioning questions
Yes, i realize this is something a lot of people disagree on. Which is why i hope to get a lot of opinions! Right now, i have my entire Linux on one 4G HD (minus some data files and things for Wine to play with on a FAT32 partion on a second drive). One partition for swap, one for everything else. From what i've heard, not a very good arangement if anything goes wrong. So, i'm thinking of backing up everything and making some more partitions. 1. If i understand things correctly, /, /boot, /lib, /bin, /sbin, /dev, parts of /etc, and maybe /root should be on one partition below the 1024th cyl for hysterical reasons, which do apply in my case. Do i understand correctly? 2. If i were partitioning a new HD, what would be a good size for the partition containing just those directories, that wouldn't waste too much space. Right now on my system, du -c reports 18M for that list, so i'm thinking 50M would allow plenty of room for expansion? 3. How about sizes for other partitions? /home i'm thinking 750M (personal workstation, 6 users that are just different mailing addresses for me), 1G for /var (with /tmp - /var/tmp, is that a bad idea?), 2.1G for /usr. 4. hda1 should be /, but how about the rest? home var swap usr as 2 3 4 5? 5. What am i missing, that i think i fit everything (including 64M of swap) onto a 4G HD? ;) Just trying to learn here.

RE: Random partitioning questions
There is a Howto on this. Searhc LDP for it. It goes into great detail. Maybe it was one of their admin docs. Not sure. For me, I make partitions of: / /usr /home swap I sometimes get more creative depending on the purpose of the system. If its a news server or high traffic mail server, i would make a /var also. You could seperate /usr and /usr/local also, but that starts to get more extreme. Its up to you.

Which is why i hope to get a lot of opinions! Right now, i have my entire Linux on one 4G HD (minus some data files and things for Wine to play with on a FAT32 partion on a second drive). One partition for swap, one for everything else. From what i've heard, not a very good arangement if anything goes wrong. So, i'm thinking of backing up everything and making some more partitions. 1. If i understand things correctly, /, /boot, /lib, /bin, /sbin, /dev, parts of /etc, and maybe /root should be on one partition below the 1024th cyl for hysterical reasons, which do apply in my case. Do i understand correctly? 2. If i were partitioning a new HD, what would be a good size for the partition containing just those directories, that wouldn't waste too much space. Right now on my system, du -c reports 18M for that list, so i'm thinking 50M would allow plenty of room for expansion? 3. How about sizes for other partitions? /home i'm thinking 750M (personal workstation, 6 users that are just different mailing addresses for me), 1G for /var (with /tmp - /var/tmp, is that a bad idea?), 2.1G for /usr. 4. hda1 should be /, but how about the rest? home var swap usr as 2 3 4 5? 5.

Re: What/Where is ssh?
ssh is an encrypted remote login kinda like Telnet. You need to have apt including the Non-US stuff since ssh can't be exported from the US, but can be brought in. Add a line something like deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free That's for Potato, but a similar version with stable instead of unstable might work for slink.

Most of the size recommendations are written with the expectation that you only have 300M available, which is an order of magnitude less.

Re: What/Where is ssh?
On Mon, 7 Jun 1999, Kent West wrote: Is ssh a more secure replacement for telnet, or what? Basically, yes. ssh uses strong encryption to secure your connection. Just about any connection between your computer and the remote one can be forwarded over the ssh encrypted channel (X is a common one) Note that the remote comp must have sshd running (usually port 22) And, where is it? I've got my apt sources.list pointing to stable main contrib non-free, but apt-get install ssh returns a message that ssh is mentioned in the database but there's no installation candidate, which probably means the package is obsolete (summarized). Since it uses strong encryption, the US government classifies it as a mutition. So US-based servers can't distribute source or binaries unless they have measures in place to only allow US citizens to download it. Other countries have no such restrictions; therefore, non-us.debian.org For slink, use this line in sources.list: deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US For potato, use this (one line): deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free Besides ssh, you can get other useful programs like telnet-ssl, fortify, and pgp/gpg.
slink to potato
The lure of all the shiny bleeding-edge glibc2.1 apps has gotten to me, and I've decided to upgrade to potato. I stuck the unstable directory of a couple mirrors in my sources.list, selected to update all of the required and recommended packages, put all the optional extra packages on hold (except those that other packages wanted me to upgrade) and started downloading. I've got 10 more hours to plan my battle strategy before the moment of truth, so I'm here to ask what else I'll have to do. I'm still using the stock Debian kernel, and I know it will have to be replaced... is the linux kernel from the potato/main/disks-i386/current directories of one of the FTP sites the kernal I should use? If I overwrite my kernal with it after all the new potato packages are done being set up, will things work? Or is there more to it than that?

[off topic] installing linux from scratch
Hi, can anybody tell where to find information on how to install linux from c source code. Currently I'm using Debian. Debian is fine. But there is no support for my Riva TNT chipset in X 3.3.2.3. So I've installed version 3.3.3.1 from source to /usr/local. Now there are many very anoying problems with the dpkg dependency check, when installing application for X. dpkg won't let me install twm without installing xbase, etc. before. dpkg is missing an option to tell it, that an package has been installed by hand and there is no need to install the .deb package. I'm using very few package. Propably it's an option for me, to install linux from source code. My /usr/local is bigger then /usr. Armin

apt starngeness
Hi, I upgraded one of my system from hamm to slink via the apt method as suggested in README.upgrade by following method: 1. Installed the new apt package on the cd 2. After editing the /etc/apt/sources.list to point to my cdrom, did apt-get update apt-get -f dist-upgrade Well, everything went well and nothing was broken. I was under the impression that apt-get update would update the info about available packages under slink. Unfortunately it does not seem to do it. If I run dselect (after upgrading), I still see the same packages, of course with newere version numbers. Should not apt add the info about the new packages that are in slink and not in hamm? Is this a bug? Just to see if I could get the info of new packages, I ran dselect and did 'update' (without install). Now, dselect lists all the packages that were installed as Obsolete/local packages. Why the discrepancy? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, sridhar P.S: Sorry if it has already reached the list.

16-bit or 24-bit Color Palette ?
I have just installed Slink on my machine, and have ... almost got it working the way that i want it to. The only thing that won't work is that it is coming up in 256 colors, and I want it to use the 16-bit color palette or greater (with 1024 x 768). I have been running xf86config, and the problem for me is that I have been taking uneducated pot-shots in the dark, and I am wondering if there is a better way of approaching this problem. I have tried all sorts of (seemingly appropriate) combinations of monitor, video card and mode from within xf86config, but all to no avail. The areas that I am foggy on are horizontal and vertical sync, refresh rates and the modes (e.g. the menu which allows you to nominate different modes for 8-bit, 16-bit, etc etc), and these were the areas that I was guessing on. I know that I can achieve this, because this is how my Windows 95 desktop is set up. Also, previously I had Debian v2.0 and RedHat v5.2 installed and I had no problems therethe only thing was that I don't remember what I did It could be that the solution lies outside of xfconfig altogether ?? In any event, I would be grateful of any help here (I am a newbie in the world of Linux). (If it helps, I have a 15 monitor, Super VGA 1024x768, with a S3 Trio 32/64 PCI video card. )

I did a lot of messing around when I installed my first Linux system, Red Hat 5.2. Second time around, installing Debian, was better, at least as far as the video is concerned. I think xf86config is the best program for configuring /etc/XF86Config -- the latter is the configuration file for X server. xf86config menu structure is very logical, but the part where you are having trouble, you have to study very carefully how it works. You can select any mode as the default, including any color depth. If you really want to narrow it down, you can even eliminate all mode options that you don't want to use, to be absolutely sure it will display with what you want. I think, from memory, that there are some S3 generic card options, that use the SVGA server. When you have selected your card or chipset type, some other selections are just accept the default. Horiz and vert sync rates should be in the manual that came with your monitor. You normally enter them as a range, e.g., 50-100. This cheapie 14inch monitor I'm using right now has horiz: 31-69 KHz and vert: 50-100 Hz. You enter them into xf86config just like that (without typing the units). Regards, Barry Kauler
XFS XFree86 3.3.3
Hi Well I figured this out eventually. Just in case anyone else is having problems with this here is how it works. xfs will start automatically. You should remove all references to the actual fontapths in XF86Config and replace them with this FontPath unix/:7100 The actual fontpaths are set ine /etc/X11/xfs/config If you want trutype support as well then you need also to referen xfstt in XF86Config like this FontPath unix/:7100,unix/:7101 Then copy your truetype fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype. Perhaps this should be in an FAQ somewhere as xfs and xftt are started automatically but its very unclear how to use them. Also an XF86Config generated by XF86Setup does not reference xfs. The info is their but spread through several readmes and man pages. Maybe the documentation will be better in Potatoe, but my system is just Slink with only XFree86 upgraded. Pat

RE: Mirroring the distributions
My biggest problem is that I'm behind a paranoid firewall which blocks access to the rsync port :-( I followed up on the www.debian.org/mirror/ site that I was given by Eric Farris.

Re: I am not impressed with Debian so far.
That also happened to me a few weeks ago while I was running Netscape. I heard my drive going nuts, and I ran df to check the free space. Well, the free space kept getting lower and lower and ... finally my machine stopped and I got a Kernel Panic. After I rebooted however, fsck found bad sectors on the disk.

Re: can bind keep best routes ?
JY: When you say route, do you mean IP address? /etc/hosts is the file in which static name-address pairs are stored. You can use bind (i.e., nslookup) to determine the name-address mapping, and then manually enter these into /etc/hosts. There are some caveats to using the hosts file, which I won't get into until I figure out whether I've correctly divined your intentions. Can you be a little more specific about what you are trying to do?

The hard drive does this thrashing thing occassionally, when the PC is just sitting there. No problem with that, as an OS can be doing some background housecleaning. The terrible noise and system freeze may be a hardware thing -- there, I said it. -- but the drive's only two years old. Well, we'll see. Regards, Barry Kauler

KOffice DEB package?
Hi, Has anybody compiled KOffice and generated DEB package/s for Slink/i386? The KOffice site, via http://www.kde.org/, only has the source, and I don't have the right stuff installed to do the compile. I wondered if any other Debian person has already been down that path if there is no package, did anyone compile it without hassles? Regards, Barry Kauler
PCMCIA Problem

Like millions of others who have to go on line by modem, with costs here in Europe at about $1.00 per hour at cheapest, at max 10MB/hour its going to take you ages, and cost you much more than a good packaged CD set, to download 1 CD's worth of stuff.
