Un monton de dudas
Hola a todos: Acabo de cambiarme de Red Hat a Debian, y hay varias cosas que no he podido configurar: 1. No tengo ni idea de como empezar con el smail. Tengo una dirección de correo electrónico que me da la univesidad, otra que me da el ISP, y mi hermana tiene una que le da su universidad. Quisiera configurarlas de modo tal que la casilla del root reciba el correo del ISP, mi casilla reciba el correo de la universiad y la casilla de mi hemana el de su universiad. Además quisiera poder enviarle correo a los usuarios locales. 2. Actualizé la versión de GTK a la GTK+ 1.2, y quiero recompilar el GIMP para que soporte los temas, pero todos los códigos de fuente incluyen un .diff y no se como aplicarlo a todo un directorio. Aguno de ustedes sabe donde encontrar un 'patching for dummies' o algo así? 3. Mi placa madre incluye sensores térmicos LM70 (creo), para los que ya bajé el código de fuente, peró no he logrado instalarlos. Alguíen los insaló ya? Bien, les agradezco toda la colaboración que me puedan prestar.

RE: Apagado por todos
Una solucíon muy elegante para permitir que todos los usuarios puedan apagar el equipo es instalar el WDM (un reemplazo para XDM). Esta aplicación te permite apagar el equipo desde el servidor X (si este ya esta funcionando). Lo unico que tienes que hacer es cambiar las siguientes lineas en el archivo /etc/X11/wdm/wdm-config: DisplayManager*wdmVerify: true DisplayManager*wdmRoot: true por: DisplayManager*wdmVerify: true DisplayManager*wdmRoot: false o por: DisplayManager*wdmVerify: false DisplayManager*wdmRoot: false La primera opción hace que solo se pueda apagar el equipo por parte del root, la segunda permite que cualquier usuario pueda apagar el equipo introduciendo su login y password, y la tercera permite que cualquiera pueda apagar el equipo. Suerte, Camilo Alejandro Arboleda. -- * De simio la conoci y he visto hombres que la añoran. * En lo que a mi se refiere, ni entonces ni ahora * perdi mi libertad. Informe para una academia.

DriveReady SeekComplete Error and DriveStatusError
Hello,
I've reinstalled Debian to try to get a cleaner setup going, but am
running into some error messages:
hdb: write_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdb: write_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
They show up randomly. Sometimes while I do apt-get or run some
other program. Sometimes if I leave the computer alone they'll
show up in the command prompt. Last time I got those errors was
right after typing 'cp '. Any ideas? The only thing I did differently is
that Linux takes up more of my second hard drive now that I've
removed a Win95 partition (which I had up only for testing MSIE3
since Win98 won't allow it) and replaced it with a /var partition.

Utility for talking to TCP port
Is there any standard utility for opening a connection to a TCP/IP port and then interactively sending data and seeing responses?

Alternatively is there an __EASY__ way for me to build my own boot disks that only have different advansys.c and advansys.h files? Is there a project i can download for building boot disks? I envision changing the above two source files, typing make and having a new resc1440.bin and drv1440.bin . Or am I just dreaming? Thanks, Curt As I this is written an upload of slink installation disks using the 2.2.10 kernel is being uploaded to opensource.captech.com in the /captech/disks/slink/2.2.10 directory These are TEST disks, you are welcome to TEST them. There was some SCSI support and other less popular options removed because of the size of the 2.2.10 kernel. In the next few days I will be adding some more sets that have much more support but are more specialized. There will be a no-scsi set that has a lot of network and other peripheral options, a no-ide set that does much the same for SCSI. More will follow including an SMP 2.2.10 install set. I have tested this all here and it appears to work. Of note is that these disks support things like Advansys and Initio disk controllers as well as providing much better support for the NetGear network cards. Also, the base disks include some things from potato recompiled for slink. The naming convention for some of these packages will change shortly so be careful. Right now I am using package-name_potato-versionslink.build.deb but that is likely to change to package-name_potato-version-potato-revisionslink.build.deb Basicly, this will not affect the majority of you so don't worry about it. In any case, I am interested in any feedback or particular device support you might want. I can build a new set in a short period of time.

Thanks for all replies. It was actually cut I was thinking of initially.

Simple typo. Use \d (digit) instead of \n (linebreak).
I was thinking it was just something like that. I've been meaning to learn
perl for awhile. Any good starting points, apart from going through
source code? Thanks for the link to that awk link, looks good.
If you can follow the above code, you could do worse
than read manpages perlre, perlop perlfunc.
My favourite perl fragment:

Rejected e-mails

I've succeeded, with the help of recent exchanges on the debian-user list and perusal of pop3 and smtp protocols, in either sending messages out or fetching them, but not both without changing my /etc/exim.conf file. In this exim.conf file I have the following line: local_domains=pop.debitel.net:localhost I don't really know what this does, but my reading suggested that I do this. pop.debitel.net is the mail server of my ISP. In the 'rewrite' section of the exim.conf file I have the line: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a standalone computer at home christened 'jardine' with a user account 'dave'. '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' is both my e-mail address and my user ID with my ISP. (Yes, they insist on the whole thing as user ID.) My .fetchmailrc file is: poll pop3.pop.debitel.net protocol pop3 user [EMAIL PROTECTED] there password pwd is [EMAIL PROTECTED] here forcecr Now, with this configuration I can send messages out, but I have to comment out the 'rewrite' line in exim.config when I use fetchmail. If I don't the e-mails are conscientiously downloaded from the server, but then they disappear into thin air. I've been thrown off the list because my previous attempts at setting the system up resulted in mail piling up on a mail server which started bouncing them back, so could you please cc any ideas on sorting this out?

X-sever problem with ATI Rage II
Hi, I tried to configure the X-server for my ATI Rage II. But If I start the server it hangs. I 'm confused with the output because memory shouldn't be the problem (128MB RAM, 4 MB on VGA board). The messages looks like in the appendix. How can I fix the problem? thx! Oliver output Description: Binary data
Modem + setserial + minicom problems
Hi DebianUsers, I have installed slink on my 486 last night..The kernel can't recognize the modem. When I ran minicom, all it says is Serial operation not supported by ttyS3. The modem is jumper configured for ttyS3. If I do a setserial -a ttyS3, I get the same reply.. Can some one figure out a solution. This is my third time installing DEbian. The first 2 times, I didn't have this problem and I was using the same modem then as now..Also, then at boot time, the kernel would give a message like: Configuring serial ports.. ttyS0 is a xxx UART ttyS1 is a ..xxx UART ttyS2 is a.. xxx UART ttyS3 is a .. xxx UART But I don't get this massage any more..All I get is Configuring serial ports...done Also when I do a minicom -s, it shows ttyS3 as the serial device. I did a ls /dev/ttyS* All the ttyS* are dial out or so ls tells me.. Please, please help me.. Thanks so much.

Re: Rejected e-mails
My .fetchmailrc file is: poll pop3.pop.debitel.net protocol pop3 user [EMAIL PROTECTED] there password pwd is [EMAIL PROTECTED] here forcecr I would suggest changing [EMAIL PROTECTED]' to simply `dave' in your .fetchmailrc. The problem is fetchmail is trying to send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but this address gets rewritten by exim to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which doesn't exist on your machine, and can't be delivered to. Changing to simply dave will make fetchmail send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which won't be affected by the rewrite. At least, I think that'll work! -- +---++-+---++-+---++-+ | YOUR AD HERE1.900.FOO.BARZ | +-+---++-+---++-+---++

Use find.) Your menus should now be back to the default Debian setup, and update-menus (as root) will work properly. Note that if you run update-menus as your user, then update-menus as root (e.g. when new packages are installed) will not affect your menus; you'll have to update-menus manually as your user. Or just delete the ~/GNUstep//menu.hook file. By the way, since this little flub none of the newly installed packages has been visible as menu entries either. What did I do? Because you're not using the Debian menus, you won't see them.

ipchains: zeroing built-in chain counters
I'm just wondering, why does `ipchains -Z' only clear the counters for the rules in each chain, but not the counters for the chain policy? Is there a way to clear the counters for the builtin chains' policies? Thanks! T
Re: Star Office 5.1 dead?
I have SO 5.1 working fine with Potato, but installing it was a headache. When I was first trying, Debian potato was using a distribution of glibc that had some problems with threading, and I had problems installing because of it. A new glibc package was released a couple of days after I started trying. I upgraded my glibc and that solved the problem. This problem is probrably not affecting you if you have the newest Debian potato glibc package, but it is worth checking into. Potato unto itself is not the problem. Try the Sun StarOffice newsgroups as they were very helpful for me. Jason I had Star Office 5.1 working just perfectly and upgraded my system to potato. Now, I had it open and running when I did this and it didn't seem to have a problem. I had to reboot for something and now when I try to load Star Office, I get an unrecoverable error and it closes about 5-10 seconds after I load it. I'm not sure if potato caused this or not, but it seems most probable. Does anyone know what went wrong or how to fix it?

Re: loop devices? [some success]
Hi, OK I have had some more success with this now, still stuck on some points but perhaps this will help someone and if anyone knows the answers to my queries that would be nice too: 1) Got the crypto kernel source from www.kerneli.org and compiled a new kernel with the crypto stuff enabled. 2) Discovered my losetup wasn't crypto enabled so got the source to util-linux-2.9w from ftp.kernel.org and applied the patch from the kerneli source. 3) Made the changes to the conf.modules described in the source. I can now make encrypted loop devices like so: # losetup -e idea /dev/loop0 file Password: # mkfs -t ext2 /dev/loop 100 # mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /safe Only problem is that I have to manually insert the crypto modules manually. It looks like loop_gen (which seems to add the ability for loop devices) depends on cipherapi but when I try a normal loop operation the loop modules doesn't install the others. Instead I have to do this: # insmod cipherapi # insmod loop_gen Anyone know how to make the loop modules call the correct modules? Finally, I am still stuck with that Binary thing with des encryption - but who knows what that is ;-) Thanks, Steve On Sat, Sep 25, 1999 at 12:04:28AM +0100, Steve George wrote: Hi, I am looking into using loop devices so I can encrypt stuff onto a floppy file system.

Re: Slow system clock?
It was the problem! I disabled APM in the BIOS and let linux run overnight. The time was accurate the following morning. I just finished rebuilding booting a new kernel with APM support and turned BIOS power management back on. I think it's licked. Thanks to all who helped me out! Jason On Fri, 24 Sep, 1999 à 09:00:25AM +, Jason Christensen wrote: Colin, I think that you may be right. Now that I think about it, the problem only seems to occur after linux has been running for a long period of time without a logon (i.e. overnight). I think I have the BIOS configured to kick into sleep mode after a certain time of inactivity. This would make sense as when the system slows down the timer interrupt servicing would occur less frequently. I couldn't, however, find a refence to this problem in the Battery Power Mini-HOWTO at www.linux.org. I'll try turning off BIOS power management overnight tonight and let you know what happens. BTW, my kernel is not compiled with power management support, perhaps if I had, this problem wouldn't have occurred? Anyone know for sure? I do think that the problem would not occurs if you enable APM in the kernel because with APM enabled, system time (i.e. time maintained by the kernel) is resetted after a RESUME. If you do not want to enable APM in the kernel, a quick fix would be to comment the line: hwclock --systohc $GMT in /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh My decision would be to enable APM unless you have specific problems with it.

Johann. The answer to your explicit question is: It depends on what you tell xterm you want. as the following quote from the xterm man page describing one of the resources available in the xterm.vt100 widget: loginShell (class LoginShell) Specifies whether or not the shell to be run in the window should be started as a login shell. The default is ``false.'' hopefully makes clear. Thus putting xterm.vt100.loginShell: true in your .Xresources file would make each xterm shell a login shell, which would then read ~/.bash_profile during its initialization. (xterm also has command line options -ls and +ls to determine this, if you are starting xterm from a command line. But the Xresources approach also catches all those xterms that get started up implicitly somehow or another.) But the common solution to your implicit question is as others have suggested: put most all of your initialization into ~/.bashrc, and then in ~/.bash_profile source ~/.bashrc. The usage of ENV may be influenced by this quote from the bash FAQ: bash reads ~/.bashrc for interactive shells, $ENV for non-interactive Keith
