Segundo canal de RDSI
Hola a todos... He instalado el ultimo empaquetamiento de las isdnutils de frozen, donde vienen unas indicaciones para activar el segundo canal de RDSI, utilizando los scripts de Debian. El caso es que lo activa, pero despues de un poco de tiempo conectado, se desconecta, y no veo que haya trafico por este canal. No se ya donde mirar, porque en los logs no veo nada que me indique alguna anomalia. ¿Alguien lo ha conseguido? ¿Es algo que puede depender del proveedor? Saludos.
Re: samba
Prueba con un programa llamado swat que esta en paquete Debian. A traves de pagina web te permite configurar todos los parametros y ademas te pone enlaces a la explicacion de cada uno de ellos. Esta en ingles pero es muy util. Tambien muy comodo para las impresoras en redes windows es el paquete printtool (es de Red Hat pero tienes paquete debian). Desde las X y a golpe de raton te soluciona muchas cosas. El magicfilterconfig tambien te puede ayudar aunque tendras que tocar el fichero printcap. Si las impresoras estan en red con los dispositivos jetdirect de HP, tienes una version para linux del programa webjetadmin (aunque tambien admiten telnet). Busca por HP. Desde el podras configurar la IP, el nombre de la cola, y todo lo que te dejen. Si tienes jetdirect (u otra impresora en red que veas al estilo UNIX, con IP y cosas asi) te puedo pasar mi /etc/printcap (en realidad me lo hizo el magicfilterconfig). Saludos K-charro

Pues que llama al ISP pero no consigue conectar.

El modem funciona pues incluso hago que me llame al mio e intentya negociar. Tambien recibe llamadas, pero no hay forma de que encuentre el CHAP de marras. Por favor si alguien sabe algo, contesteme rápido. Un saludo

RE: Duda sobre lilo
Buenass!! Creo que el problema es que la partición /boot ha de estar dentro de los primeros 1024 cilindros del disco, en algunos discos que utilizan LBA (como es mi caso) los 1024 cilindros quedan aproximadamente por el octavo giga, mientras que si se usa el modo NORMAL... ocho gigas son 16000 y pico cilindros por lo que quedas fuera del margen. VARIAS SOLUCIONES: 1) Instalas la nueva version de LILO (no la he probado no se que decirte) 2) Creas una pequeña particion al principio del disco (de 10 a 25 Megas son mas que suficientes) y montas el directorio /boot. Despues puedes poner la de MOCOSOFT y luego la de /. Yo lo tengo asi, y no me ha dado nunca ningun problema. Eso si, al LILO le has ded decir que lea la partición /. Por ejemplo, en el trabajo monte uno asi: hda1 /boot 10Mb hda2 WinNT 6Gb hda3 Swap128Mb hda4 / 6Gb El disco no iba muy fino en modo LBA, por lo que lo tuve que poner en modo NORMAL, por lo tanto la partición de root ( / ) me quedo fuera de los 1024 cilindros. 3) Instalas Linux al principio del disco y GÜINDOUS al final.

Re: Me presento a la lista.
Hue-Bond decía: El sábado 22 de abril de 2000 a la(s) 18:09:53 +0200, Santiago Romero contaba: he estado LITERALMENTE _horas_ contestando a las preguntas de los scripts de los .deb. Piensa que como no puedes volver atrás (rectifico: no sé volver atrás) me tengo que pensar cada pregunta 1000 veces para dar la respuesta al script. En cambio en redhat como la configuración es post-instalación y lo hago editando el fichero de configuración, puedo volver para atrás, editar otro, etc. Interesante punto de vista. Estaría bien una pregunta del tipo ¿Quiere configurar esto ahora? al principio de cada postinst.sh de forma que no haya que estar en la cuerda floja al instalar paquetes (igual que con el 'make config' jeje). Pues ya me perdonareis pero sigo sin ver el problema por ninguna parte. Primero porque, durante la instalación, puedes contestar a las preguntas con la respuesta por defecto y luego editar los archivos correspondientes (igual que en cualquier distro) para dejarlo a tu gusto sin más problemas (sendmailconfig es el único script que no he utilizado por mera inercia). Segundo porque siempre puedes relanzar el script de configuración del paquete en cuestión. Me explico: pongamos que instalas el sendmail (o exim, o smail...). Si durante la instalación contestaste al tuntún y luego ves que no queda a tu gusto, relanzas sendmailconfig y listo. Cualquier programa que en la instalación, durante el setting te haga alguna pregunta, significa que ese script de configuración queda instalado en /usr/sbin para relanzarlo tantas veces como desees. Yo, cuando tenía el Exim, lanzaba eximconfig cada vez que cambiaba el nombre del host real -en lugar de editar /etc/eximconfig que, obviamente resultaba incluso más rápido- por puro vicio... (Hablo de slink, y hamm; no he probado potato aunque haya slinkizado los paquetes que me interesaban; en potato creo que viene el paquete debianconfig -o algo similar- que agrupa todos esos ficheros de post-config). Resumiendo: no veo esa cuerda floja por ningún lado. ¿No será más bien pereza e inercia? Creo que debian lo pone todo muy fácil; incluso contestando a las respuestas por defecto te deja el sistema _operativo_ (cuidado, operativo no significa a tu gusto) sin más paliativos. A mí particularmente me parece más sencilla de configurar que RedHat en muchos casos; incluso sin tener que entrar en las X's... y no lo digo por crear polémica, sino sinceramente. Tal vez los *config no sean tan vistosos como similares utilidades de otras dists, pero sí tan efectivos. Alucino cuando la peña dice que debian carece de herramientas de configuración (¡hasta bindconfig!!!). ¿Algo más sencillo que teclear gpmconfig si erraste durante la instalación? Otra cosa es su política de pruebas y similares (los paquetes han quedado obsoletos incluso antes de lanzar la dist); pero también resulta fácilmente solventable -pieno yo (stown, dh_make o simplemente make)-... Y, para acabar, cuando has terminado de instalar debian resulta que en unos 300 Mb tienes _de todo_ (servidor proxy incluido), mientras que la misma operatividad -seguramente menor, ya que para instalar el wwwoffle necesitas las Power Tools o bajarlo de interné- en RedHat te ha supesto por lo menos 450 Mb de espacio en disco. ¿Me equivoco de mucho?

XFree86-4.0 and xauth
I upgraded to XFree86-4.0 recently, and now xauth doesn't seem to work.
I usually use ssh to work on my unix account at work and to do so, I
have a script that looks like this:
ssh REMOTEHOST /usr/openwin/bin/xauth add `grep -e IPADDR
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info | gawk -F = '{print $2}'`:0 . `xauth list
LOCALHOST/unix:0 | gawk '{print $3}'`
xterm -e ssh REMOTEHOST
This basically gets my current IP address from the dhcpcd info, and uses
ssh to add the xauth code for that IP to my list on the remote host.
However, since I upgraded to 4.0, this doesn't work. Even if I do it
manually on the remote host, it still doesn't work. When I try to
execute a program on the remote host with the display exported to my
localhost, I get this:
Xlib: connection to LOCALHOST:0.0 refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: LOCALHOST:0
I assume this is because of the upgrade, but I suppose it could be due
to recent updates in the OpenSSH debian packages. I'm using woody. Any
suggestions? In the meantime I'm using xhost to add the remote host,
but I'm not very comfortable doing that since a lot of people use that
server, and I have to go through the extra steps. I should emphasize,
that this worked fine a couple weeks ago.
Thanks.

And of course: how do I correct the situation? I assume you compiled a 2.2.x series. You have to use kmod, which must be enabled when you build the kernel. It doesn't remove modules though, so you need a cron script. See linux/Documentation/kmod.txt for more info. Also: how (and where) do I supply module parameters for auto-loading? To load my NIC driver, I have to issue insmod ne io=0x340 irq=10 -- where do I put this info so I don't need to supply it every time? I use kmod, not kerneld. In /etc/modutils/aliases, I inserted the following for the sound card: --- # SB AWE alias midi awe_wave post-install awe_wave /usr/bin/sfxload /usr/synthfm.sbk options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 alias sound sb --- Is this okay? Can't tell you if the options or post-install are okay, but you have to run 'update-modules' after editing /etc/modutils/aliases. It writes your changes to /etc/modules.conf which is the file that is referenced when loading modules. Another question: I used pppconfig to set up my dialup Internet connection. I supplied the IP address of the ISP's name server, which was properly placed in /etc/resolv.conf. nslookup works okay, but nothing else: ping and browsers cannot resolve names. Everything works when IP addresses are given instead of names. Did you tell pppconfig to use the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf or to use the dynamically assigned ones by your ISP (if it does this). In the first case, ppp does nothing special. In the latter case, it temporarily moves /etc/resolv.conf, replacing it with a file containing the nameserver addresses provided by the ISP. When the link goes down, it reverses this process. Rerun pppconfig to see what you did. Also, did you tell it to set the default route? Look under the Advanced option of pppconfig for some of these items. (I'll download the how-to documents today, promise. :-) Won't help you with pppconfig.

NFS re-export crashes client
I figure this has to be as good a forum as any to start with :). Potato machine 'ruth' is re-exporting some directories served by an SGI O200 using the userspace NFS daemon to 'r001'. Whenever a process on r001 tries to read certain 'cluttered' directories (like most well-used home directories), however, it fills all memory and dies. Strace on r001 shows an endless series of 'getdents', while strace on ruth shows just two (typically). On one test, it crashed r001 and wedged the nfs daemon on ruth. I'd have just filed a bug report, but I can't decide who's bug it might be :). Some background as to why I want to do this: I've got a small cluster (r00[1-5]) of diskless systems booting 2.2.14 from a ruth, and mounting root from it as well. Since they are only intended to be a compute farm, the only 'outside' network connection is via the ruth, and you must log into ruth before continuing on into the nodes. This is so that they can communicate with each other quickly and easily with few security checks on that subnet (set up as 192.168.0.x). Home directories and data files are stored on an SGI O200. It is convenient to mount those on the cluster nodes, and the easiest way I see to do it is to have the master re-export the home directory mountpoints to the cluster using the user-space NFS server (file access speed isn't particularly important, since the bulk of compute jobs are CPU and memory limited).

problem with installation program
Dear Linux users: I am attempting to install Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 from the CD that accompanies the book: Learning Debian GNU/Linux (Bill McCarty, O'Reilly, Sebastopol, Sept 99, 1st ed.). The problem I am currently having is that I cannot get the installation program to start. It would seem that the problem relates to the last message displayed: NCR53c406a: no available ports found. See below. So far, I've looked into the problem as follows. 1. I've looked at the Help items accessed by pressing F1 while the below Welcome screen is up, but none of these items seems relevant. 2. I've spent some time looking at the debian website (www.debian.org), but haven't found anything relevant there either. 3. I did internet searches with several search engines and the the search text, NCR53c406a: no available ports found. Snap.com returned some webpages relating to boot arguments for scsi peripherals. I looked at some of these, but didn't find any information applicable to my situation. Furthermore, my computer does NOT contain any scsi components, so it seems strange that the problem should relate to scsi. I would very much appreciate any insights or suggestions that would help me clear this hurdle. Sincerely, Steven P.S. See details below. --- The sequence of events that lead to the failure of the installation program follows. (The failure is repeatable on my system.) 1. Boot the computer from the debian CD. 2.

Installs are kind of a pain, it helps when you have a firm grip on your hardware, and a few installs under your belt. The Debian install process basically starts with a small base system, a reboot from hard disk, then install of the rest of the packages. Dpkg is pretty verbose when it installs software, it's just not gooey. Debian has a package/version numbering scheme. In fact, the quality of the debian packages/packaging system is one of its primary selling points.

Re: problem with installation program
Steve, I had a similar problem when trying to install the EXACT same CD from my book. I do however have SCSI peripherals. What I eventually ended up doing was downloading Debian off of the net and it is now running great! I know that is not what you are looking for. Something I ran across however is a jumper on my CD ROM. It is labeled Block. This jumper, if set, told the controller that it was dealing with a UNIX block device. If your CD ROM has a jumper like this try setting it the opposite of what it is currently set at. You may have some success. Good luck.

Long time Debian user with semi-technical question

I have potato as the base and am beginning to customize and modify it, but haven't really yet... other than Windowmaker graphics and WDM graphics.. Is it OK to carefully modify /var/lib/dpkg/status? I need to basically stave off dselect because every time I do an alien package or just something that isn't in the Packages.gz file. I haven't built all binary CD's yet... just the first... though that will change. It goes in and gives me dependency conflict, then decides it wants to remove my stuff. I Give it a big Fat capital R and then Q to force it not to do that, but I'd like it not to decide these things on its own. I've had some luck in the past directly modifying the status file, but sometimes it doesn't work. Is there any way to modify deb packages to change their dependencies since some of the packages are plain stupid... they depend on perl for instance and I have perl5.005, so I end up doing a dpkg -i --force-depends... which works, but if you go into dselect afterwards it wants to remove perl5.005 because it conflicts with the nonexistant package perl, and decides to remove about half my system (lots of things depend on perl) which I refuse the changes and force quit the dependency checker back to the menu. I'd love to say NO IT DOESN't DEPEND ON THAT PACKAGE YOU [EMAIL PROTECTED] now install and don't talk to me again! KDE stuff wouldn't go on because it wanted stdc++2.9, and it was too stupid to realize 2.10 was newer...

Problem upgrading gtk
Hi, I am using slink for a while, but now I tried to upgrade manually (I go to debian package homepage, select a package to download, and download all the dependences) to potato. I started for upgrade window maker and because of it I have to download several packeges, mostly graphical libraries. After it work, I tried to upgrade gtk, but when I finished it didn't work. This is the list of packages I download for gtk: autoconf_2.13-20.deb imlib1_1.9.8-4.deb automake_1.4-8.deb libglib1.2_1.2.7-2.deb gdk-imlib1_1.9.8-4.deb libgtk1.2-dev_1.2.7-1.deb gettext-base_0.10.35-13.deb libgtk1.2-doc_1.2.7-1.deb gettext_0.10.35-13.deb libgtk1.2_1.2.7-1.deb glade_0.5.7-1.debm4_1.4-10.deb gqview_0.7.0e1-1.deb xlib6g-dev_3.3.6-6.deb imlib-base_1.9.8-4.deb If I run: gtk-config --version it show: 1.2.7 but when I tried to compile something that use gtk a message say that I have gtk 1.0.x. If I tried to dpkg --purge gtk1.0.x I get the message of several programs depend on it. Can somebody help me?
Potato it is!
Thanks for the advice to my earlier Frozen, Potato or Woody? post. I've decided to take all of it. I ordered a 4-pack of Frozen CD's _and_, while they're enroute I'm going to get my feet wet with apt-get and potato. I've moved stuff around on my little 814Mb hard drive and made 208Mb available in /usr. Tomorrow, I plan to temporarily mount /var/cache/apt inside /usr and direct apt-get there. Question #1: Will 208Mb be enough? I ran 'apt-get update' and it built the tree. I ran 'apt-get --simulate dist-upgrade' and it showed unmet depenencies for w3m only. w3m needs three of the libraries coming with the upgrade. I forced 'apt-get --simulate -f dist-upgrade' and it ran with it, showing the 383 Upgrades, 63 new Installs, 30 Removals, and 14 Hold Backs it plans to do. _But_, apt-get didn't give me any idea of how much /var/apt/cache it needs to do its magic. Question #2: I think I've read here several times that apt-get can predict cache usage, but I've never seen a command or option to tell it to, and I can't find any in the man pages or docs. Is there? Question #3: I'm only downloading the i386 binaries, not the sources. But, even if 208Mb of cache is enough, is robbing /usr to pay /var an exercise in futility? In other words, is /usr going to simultaneously need that space that /var is borrowing, in order to recieve the 63 installs, have 383 of it's current packages Upgraded _and_ 30 of them Removed? Or, is there some capability built into apt that can choreograph all that? Thanks for the good advice already, hoping for more, montefin

Um, all the dpkg database is stored in /var/lib, so that won't work.
You could still get a list of more or less all installed packages, since
every package creates a self-named directory in /usr/doc or
/usr/share/doc. There's one or two extras. A quick check on my own
system shows only one package installed without any docs: fdflush.
Sounds like a bug to me, since it should have at least a copyright
file... Anyone feel like filing it, or do i have to do it myself? ;)
If you could get things together far enough for dpkg/apt to work, you
could then go reinstall every package you previously had.
BTW, every package puts files in /var/lib/dpkg/info --
{pre,post}{inst,rm}, md5 sums for all files, lists of installed files,
lists of conf files, and so on. So to get things fully working, you'd
need to reinstall them all anyway.

Re: XFree86-4.0 and xauth
On Mon, Apr 24, 2000 at 07:10:59PM -0400, Brian Stults wrote:
I upgraded to XFree86-4.0 recently, and now xauth doesn't seem to work.
i don't use XFree86-4.0 yet, but here's guess or two.
I usually use ssh to work on my unix account at work and to do so, I
have a script that looks like this:
ssh REMOTEHOST /usr/openwin/bin/xauth add `grep -e IPADDR
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info | gawk -F = '{print $2}'`:0 . `xauth list
LOCALHOST/unix:0 | gawk '{print $3}'`
Have you checked that this still generates the right output? i.e. what
is is supposed to generate and what does it actually do? Change the
cookie if you want to post it, no one will know the difference.
For example, in my xauth file i have keys for both MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
and XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1. If the XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 would have happened
to come first, it would be using the wrong cookie for your script.
xterm -e ssh REMOTEHOST
This basically gets my current IP address from the dhcpcd info, and uses
ssh to add the xauth code for that IP to my list on the remote host.
Just out of curiousity, why don't you just use ssh's X forwarding?
Especially since the long-standing bug that made it fail on some
configurations has been fixed in the latest Debian versions.
However, since I upgraded to 4.0, this doesn't work. Even if I do it
manually on the remote host, it still doesn't work. When I try to
execute a program on the remote host with the display exported to my
localhost, I get this:
Xlib: connection to LOCALHOST:0.0 refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: LOCALHOST:0
When you say 'manually' do you mean manually ran the script or did
xauth list and copy-pasted the output by hand into the remote session?
Apparently, there's some issue with the key being different... The only
guess i have at the moment is that that script is producing incorrect
output.

Re: Modules name resolution
On Mon, Apr 24, 2000 at 03:02:42PM +0200, Kovacs Istvan wrote Hello! I've just installed potato, re-compiled the kernel, and now (some of) my modules will not auto-load. I can load them with modprobe and/or insmod. I have to load the driver for my Initio SCSI card, SB AWE32 sound card and RTL8019-based NIC by hand. The question is: why? And of course: how do I correct the situation? Also: how (and where) do I supply module parameters for auto-loading? To load my NIC driver, I have to issue insmod ne io=0x340 irq=10 -- where do I put this info so I don't need to supply it every time? I use kmod, not kerneld. In /etc/modutils/aliases, I inserted the following for the sound card: --- # SB AWE alias midi awe_wave post-install awe_wave /usr/bin/sfxload /usr/synthfm.sbk options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 alias sound sb --- Is this okay? Yes, although it might be tidier if the options and post-install lines were in their own file (say, /etc/modutils/sound). You can do the same for your network card - just put options ne io=0x340 irq=10 in (e.g.) /etc/modutils/ne and then add a line with just ne on it to /etc/modules. Or, run modconf which will allow you to do the same thing in a more GUI way. After editing files in /etc/modutils always run update-modules, so that /etc/conf.modules gets updated. Another question: I used pppconfig to set up my dialup Internet connection. I supplied the IP address of the ISP's name server, which was properly placed in /etc/resolv.conf. nslookup works okay, but nothing else: ping and browsers cannot resolve names. Everything works when IP addresses are given instead of names. Did you choose the defaultroute option in pppconfig? Run # route -n while your PPP connection is up; it should include a line like 0.0.0.0 192.168.113.110 0.0.0.0 UG1 0 0 ppp0 where 192.168.113.110 is the IP address of the far end of the PPP connection.

S3 cards and LX motherboards (was Re: Xproblem - modelines?)
Your problems with S3-based video cards and XFree86 may not be due to misconfiguration. I have a S3 968 card, and though it worked well in one of my machines, I could not get it to work in another one. I got black screens only. Do you have an LX motherboard? After some Dejanews searching (LX S3 linux), I found that various S3-based cards don't work properly with XFree86 and LX-based motherboards. This problem -may- be fixed in XFree86 4.0. Some claim that the alpha-quality S3 server in XF86_SVGA works, but it did not work for me. I have one LX machine that my S3 card works in, and another LX that it does not, with an identical XF86Config. I have given up and ordered a cheap ($20) refurbished Matrox Millennium. It's a better card anyway; I already have one in one of the machines. Dan Halbert
Re: Problem connecting with ISP - update
Hi, Thanks, but I've still not managed to make it work. Maybe I'm not doing this right. I tried it like this: CONNECT \d\c ppp but that didn't work. I tried to take \d and \c out, tried to toggle quiet mode (\qppp), put ppp within quotation marks, but nothing worked. Am I missing something here? regards, Guðmundur David Wright wrote: Quoting Guðmundur Erlingsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): No, I don't think that this is a problem, it didn't work before I changed the permission (I changed it according to the PPP-Howto, to 740) so there is something else going on. The thing is that ppp doesn't seem to start up on the server, and I have no idea how to get it started. Usually you have to send the command ppp if ppp doesn't start automatically at the other end. Some of our systems used to require this, and those that did did not necessarily have ppp listed in the help output. You may need a delay in your chatscript between receiving CONNECT and sending PPP. \d is it? When I use minicom to dial in it just hangs up with a NO CARRIER message, although I know I have the correct phonenumber and it works without a hitch in win95. You mean the other end answers, waits, and then hangs up? Yes, that would be a timer expiring. Not all systems have the sense to start ppp automatically when bombarded with LCP packets. Don't ask me why.

RE: Debian posters
Title: RE: Debian posters -Original Message- From: Richard B. Kreckel [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2000 7:34 AM To: Debian Development Cc: Wichert Akkerman Subject: Re: Debian posters And put it under /data/, please. The infamous `Constitution of Finland' thread should have made clear that Debian has accumulated enough bloatware in main/, contrib/ and non-free/. New ideological ammunition should IMO be added somewhere where the simple user who wants to get a system running doesn't stumble over. [Andrew Weiss] Of course we could make a new Debian based distro with only main and even a limited set of main and a mandatory virtual richard stallman package... then call it BORING Linux. Whoo hoo... Non-free is the best thing to happen to Linux... especially since unless you want to re-package the stuff it is free. (No not free in the FSF definition of the word, but you don't pay for it) Personally Mozilla's a great idea, but it sucks and produces many pages of text errors in a small window... Linux without Netscape is fairly crippled for most people... same as Linux without StarOffice, or WordPerfect/Corel Office, or Applix. KOffice is still a fantasy... and gasp* hehe KDE isn't included in free... whoopee. Bracing for the flame war... and knowing full well that this post is slightly off topic. Andrew
magicfilter vs. apsfilter
Hi ! Browsed through the Debian mailinglist archive concerning apsfilter. Interesting ;-) Concerning your question ... apsfilter 5.4.1 will support gs 6.01 + hpdj driver + additional 3rd party driver from internet. Using anonymous cvs you are able to checkout a -current snapshot of my developement work, which will become 5.4.1 soon. See: http://www.freebsd.org/~andreas There you can find informations in the News and apsfilter section, how you can checkout the current apsfilter sources using remote cvs. You need to have cvs (concurrent version system) for that purpose. Otherwise please wait for the next upcoming release. See the list of supported drivers using my CVS repository browser: http://www.cosmo-project.de/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/apsfilter/setup/printer-6.01? rev=1.7content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup BTW, best would be to contact the Debian Port Maintainer of the gs port (I put him on Cc:) to perhaps include the same 3rd party driver as I did for the FreeBSD port, to be generally in sync with apsfilters printer list. This is a complete list of gs 6.01 supported printer + additional compiled in 3rd party driver, see below ... Additionally he could add the contributed uniprint driver profiles, I got from users (which are additionally distributed with apsfilter and simply can be copied into gs libdir) Maybe it would be an advantage, if Matej could take over maintainership of the gs port. My experience as owner of gs and apsfilter port in FreeBSD is, that it%s a good thing (tm). So apsfilter and gs are in sync. But that%s only a proposal. It%s not necessarily needed. Look at the URLs in the Makefile, to see, what additional things I added t FreeBSDs gs 6.01 port: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/print/ghostscript6/Makefile?rev=1.48 In short: # Additional Drivers: # http://www.proaxis.com/~mgelhaus/linux/software/hp880c/hp880c.html HP8XX_DRV= gdevcd8.tar.gz # HPDJ, additional driver for HP PCL3 Printers, by Martin Lottermoser # ftp://ftp.sbs.de/pub/graphics/ghostscript/pcl3/pcl3.html HPDJ_DRV= hpdj-2.6.tar.gz # contributed uniprint profiles CONTRIB_UPP=lqx70ch.upp lqx70cl.upp lqx70cm.upp \ stc740ih.upp stc740p.upp stc740pl.upp Before my holiday (next week) I will have the new release out. One major feature (it has lots) will be, that you can choose printer driver specific options via lpr%s -C option, i.e.: lpr -C glossy:high:present file (use glossy paper, high resolution, presentation quality) bin/apsfilter can easily be edited, to add further driver specific options, I possibly forgot to add. BTW, Matej Vela, Debians apsfilter port maintainer has joined the apsfilter developement team yesterday. I hope that we%ll do a fine job for you all now and in the future ! Andreas ///

Is it possible that you've got hold of a piece of documentation which, while being selective for the trio's sake, was written by someone who had a high spec. monitor and didn't consider people who were still using an old model becuase they wouldn't have this card.

Re: Archiving and Expiring Mail
Hoi Erik!
Erik I use Procmail and Mutt for processing +200 mail messages
Erik every day (large share from this list ;-)) I would like to
Erik have a tool which is able to archive and/or expire mail
Erik messages on a per mailbox bases.
I think that procmail can do that job. Here's an example:
## debian user (digest)
:0
* X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
{
:0 c
|formail +1 -ds cat Archives/deb-user
:0
|formail +1 -ds cat spool/deb-user.spool
}
(So the messages are stored in two files: deb-user and
deb-user.spool.)
Ps: have you noticed the crippled X-Loop header line? :-(

Re: update-alternatives: bug or misunderstanding?

Re: root filesystem corrupted, can't log in
Bob, np. I intended to use -r. Below your post is a response to the same question from another list member. All I can say is it seems to work for me. Next time I'll try it again without the -r. I'm sure I'll have occasion to. montefin Robert D.

But I'd seen it mentioned in one of Barkakati's books, I think, so I tried it and it worked for me when I was in the same jam as you. And it didn't work without it. But maybe that's just Red Hat or my environemnt, although it's worked for other people I passed it along to. -r is a hold over from FSCK and it's supposed to be e2fsck's default behavior, but there's a lot that isn't quite so about e2fsck. Maybe it's just voodoo for me now, but, hey, if it doesn't do anything, it can't hurt, right? Read those other comments about the internal directives in the e2fsck program. The -b 8193 alternate superblock routine is suggested after _it_ produces the error. And wait until you see the 'bonehead' line in the maybe it's a bug but it's probably YOU message. Anyway, I tend not to believe everything I read in man pages. Seriously though. Check to see if you're running e2fsprog along with or as a part of e2fsck on your bootup. It's a little script that shows the pretty hash marks or spinning pinwheel for e2fsck's progress. Well, it was also known to trigger an unnessecary Signal 11 everytime the root filesystem was checked. Not only for a power outage but even when you reached maximum boots without a check. That's no fun. There's a bugfix on the Red Hat 6.1 Errata page http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/rh61-errata-general.html that supposedly corrects that, but I never saw it make a difference. I think it's just e2fsck. I'm not sure if Red Hat fixes can be applied to other Linuxes, but you might want to try it.
