KDE Libs

2000-05-08 Thread Ivan Andres Hernandez Puga
Buenos dias a todos. tengo una consulta... 
ocurre que baje un sintetizador llamado aRTS que usa librerias de KDE para
compilar y ejecutar. Ocurre que el buen apt-get no tiene en la base estas
librerias con lo que no puedo instalarlas.
Antes de compilar esas librerias y hacer chanchadads quiero saber si hay donde
decirle a apt-get que las busque e instale.

saludos

RE: Teclados en las X. Simular AltGr

2000-05-08 Thread 2070718
= Original Message From [EMAIL PROTECTED] =
   Ya no se que hacer, tengo un teclado que no tiene ni AltGr, ni 
ni las teclas de windows, ni..., que es una porquería, pero que como es
el del portátil me tengo que resignar. Normalmente uso uno externo, pero
no siempre te lo puedes llevar. Bueno, en la consola he logrado, después
de pelearme casi una semana simular todas las teclas. Es decir, lo que
normalmente es ºª (a la izquierda del 1) pasa a ser AltGr. El resto no
tiene complicación. Pero en las x la cosa cambia. Esta tecla no aparece
en los ficheros, he logrado con dumpkeys -l sacar el código AltGr =
0x0701. Y también he sacado el keysym de la tecla ºª que es 49 (ojo,
en la consola es diferente, keymap 41) El caso es que no me deja
asignarle AltGr, puedo asignarle  (less 0x003c) o cualquier cosa, pero
no AltGr, está tecla funciona parece funcionar como metalenguaje para el
programa xmodmap. De man xmodmap no saco nada en claro. ¿Alguna idea?

   Esto es lo que intento:
xmodmap -e keysym 5 = 5 percent less
xmodmap -e keysym 6 = 6 ampersand greater
   Esto se ejecuta sin problemas
xmodmap -e keysym 5 = 5 percent 0x003c
xmodmap -e keysym 6 = 6 ampersand 0x003e
   Esto también
xmodmap -e keysym 49 = 0x0701 
   No da error pero no se ejecuta, la tecla continua igual.

   Agradezco cualquier idea, sugerencia o lo que sea. Por cierto, Demian
slink, 2.0.36, con KDE. Por si ayuda en algo. Saludos

   Isaac Puch Rojo.

P.D. No se si a Luismiguel le has resuelto el problema, pero las horas
que me hubiera ahorrado de conocer ese artículo. Gracias Cosme Cuevas.

No puedo darte  la respuesta, pero quizás  este artículo sobre
cómo utilizar las teclas de W$ te ayude:

http://www.linux.org.ar/info/articulos/CArroyo/CArroyo-5.html


Altgr es un modificador por lo que tienes que definirlo  como tal MOD en
xmodmap ya te dare una respuesta mas elaborada mañana mirando como tengo mis
tclas de windous



RE: Teclados en las X. Simular AltGr

¿Por qué no pruebas a utilizar xkeycaps? Allí es relativamente sencillo
mapear el teclado a tu gusto, y te genera automáticamente el fichero para el
xmodmap.

Limitar la entrada al Sendmail

Buenas a todos,

Alguien conoce la manera de que el sendmail limite el tamaño en bytes de los
mails que entran. Tambien a ser posible manipular el mail que devuelve para
poner un texto explicativo.

Por lo poco que he podido encontrar (parece que quien quiere dominar sendmail

sendmail.cf es la clave ... pero no deja el agua muy clara al respecto.

Probando Potato

2000-05-08 Thread Luis Taboada
Hola a todos,

 Al fin, despues de varios días de bajar las imágenes de los
 cd-rom's, tengo los 4 cd's para probar potato.

 Antesdeayer, cuando sólo tenía el primer cdrom, empecé a probar
 la instalación, y tengo una primera duda.

 Pero antes de todo, voy a dar una pequeña despcripción del
 equipo:


 Marca-Modelo:SIRE - ERA 2000 S
 Tipo:Computadora Portatil
 Procesador:  Pentium II - 266 MHz.
 Memoria RAM: 128 Mb.
 Disco duro:  4 Gb.
 PCMCIA:  2 ranuras del tipo i8no se qué.
 Pantalla:TFT Color
 Chip gráfico:CT 6
 Chip sonido: ESS 18no me acuerdo
 APM: Sí
 Infrarojos:  Sí
 USB: 2 conectores


 La primera buena noticia, es que pude cargar la instalación
 sin ningún problema, desde este cd-rom nº 1. En la versión de
 slink tenía que usar el 2º cd-rom, pues la computadora se
 reiniciaba mientras cargaba la imagen de 'root'.

 La primera mala, es que no se cargaba PCMCIA al arrancar el
 núcleo, y al final de la instalación, después de indicarle que
 no descargara los controladores de PCMCIA, la carga de estos
 módulos no se realizaba, pues salían errores de símbolos
 indefinidos en los módulos de pcmcia. ¿Puede ser esto por que
 el núcleo no esté compilado para soportar PCMCIA?.

 Esta tarde intentaré utilizar el 2º cd-rom para iniciar la
 instalación, aunque, si no me equivoco, el sistema base que
 tendré que instalar será el del primer cd-rom y creo que seguirá
 pasando. ¿Alguna sugerencia?.

 Entre los paquetes de imágenes del kernel que he visto, hay
 alguno que termina con '-udma'. ¿ Soluciona este kernel los
 problemas que había con discos UDMA, en los que de vez en cuando
 te sale un mensaje de error de accesso a disco?. Muchas máquinas
 recientes vienen con este tipo de discos.


 Bueno, nada más de momento.

 ¡Ah!, ¿es buen sitio este para comentar las pruebas de potato o
 debería dirigir esta información a otra lista de distribución?

 Gracias.

Saludos,
 Luis  mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

   Todos los días una noticia de seguridad


Consideraciones sobre VBS.LoveLetter, un gusano muy simple
--
Pese a la fiebre mediática que ha desatado, merecida sólo en parte
por la propagación que ha conseguido, a la postre la mayor de toda
la historia, debemos de tener en cuenta que en realidad se trata
de un script que ha de interpretarse, un gusano muy simple, con su
código al descubierto, que analizaremos al detalle en una próxima
entrega.

No hay un antes y un después de este gusano, al menos en el apartado
técnico, aunque la eficacia conseguida a la hora de propagarse,
gracias en gran parte al factor humano, tal vez sea utilizada como
excusa para implantar nuevas medidas y restricciones en las políticas
de seguridad y control.

En cuanto a las casas antivirus, por un lado sólo cabe felicitarlas
por su rápida actuación, apenas unas horas después los clientes
contaban con actualizaciones para detectar y eliminar el gusano, y
hasta se han facilitado utilidades gratuitas para los usuarios no
registrados.

Por otro lado, mientras las casas de software hacen su particular
agosto, más de uno se preguntará como es posible que un gusano tan
simple, con técnicas conocidas, ha podido atacar por igual a los que
disponían de un antivirus actualizado como a los que iban a pecho
descubierto. El modelo actual de los antivirus es eficaz contra
virus conocidos, promesas de anuncios y heurísticas al margen, hoy
día sigue siendo muy fácil saltarse esta barrera de protección que
casos como el de VBS.LoveLetter ponen en entredicho.

Internet se ha convertido en todo un handicap para los antivirus,
si bien es cierto que han ganado en capacidad de actualización,
los virus tampoco dejan de aprovechar las ventajas de la Red,
pudiendo propagarse por miles de sistemas antes que los
laboratorios hayan terminado de analizar el espécimen. El modelo
de detección de virus conocidos, resolutivo en épocas pasadas
cuando la infección entre sistemas aislados se producía, por
ejemplo, al intercambiar disquetes, pierde eficacia cuando
el ciclo de propagación entre millones de máquinas vía Internet
se reduce a unas pocas horas. La realidad es que existen soluciones
de seguridad más efectivas, basta que las empresas de software se
planteen las necesidad de una pequeña revolución.

Dejando al margen los antivirus, necesarios y recomendables, así
como a Internet, de cuyo beneficio nadie duda, VBS.LoveLetter
pone de nuevo el dedo en la llaga: la inseguridad de Microsoft.
Una vez más los usuarios de Linux se han convertido en meros
espectadores, protegidos por un modelo de seguridad mucho más
robusto que el de Windows, y donde los virus, hasta la fecha,
son simples anécdotas.

En el último escalón nos encontramos con el factor humano, que
es sin duda el gran protagonista en el caso de VBS.LoveLetter,
donde la Ingeniería Social de este simple gusano ha obtenido
mejores resultados a la hora de propagarse que las complicadas
técnicas desarrolladas bajo ensamblador de otros virus mucho
más sofisticados. Una vez más, es en última instancia el usuario
quién tiene en su mano la seguridad de los sistemas, y quién
debe ser consciente y responsable del peligro que entrañan
sus acciones en determinadas situaciones.

en /etc/mail/sendmail.mc (y regenerar el .cf con sendmailconfig, claro).

'route add default gw' cuando conecto con el modem

2000-05-08 Thread Juan Carlos Muro
Hola. Mi ordenador se encuentra en una LAN y para salir a Internet lo
hago a través de un gateway determinado.
Pero tengo un modem para hacer pruebas. Lo que quiero es que los
paquetes que tengan que salir de la LAN lo hagan a través del 'ppp0'
cuando conecte a Internet con el modem, y con el gateway cuando no esté
conectado.
Supongo que se tratará de hacer un scriptillo en el ppp-up y ppp-down (o
algo así). Pero, ¿qué es lo que hay que hacer? ¿Cuáles son las IPs que
hay que poner en el comando 'route' en cada caso?
Es que he hecho un intento a mano, y ha sido un fracaso. He hecho lo
siguiente (supuesto):

# ifconfig
eth0:
InetAddress: x.x.x.x
ppp0:
InetAddress: y.y.y.y P-t-P: z.z.z.z

# route, me dice +/-
default = 172.16.11.253

# route del default
# route add default gw y.y.y.y

No ruta nada para afuera. ¿No será que tenía que haber puesto 'z.z.z.z'?

¿Para qué es la dirección esa de P-t-P?. Curiosamente esa IP es la de la
interface fa0(Fast Ethernet) del RAS (Cisco AS5300) de la empresa que
mete a los usuarios de dial-in en el router.
¿Alguien me puede decir para qué usa la conexión ppp de mi ordenador esa
IP?

Saludos y gracias muchas:

 Bueno, configura el ordenador para que trabaje en la lan, y se pueda

 /usr/bin/pon y añadí la linea

#!/bin/sh
route del default
/usr/sbin/pppd call ${1:-provider}

 (Es que si lo añades en un script dentro de ip-up.d se ejecuta
 posterior a la conexión, por tanto no me servia).
 Es una manera un poco chapuza, también puedes retocar poff para que
 vuelva a dejar todo en su sitio..., pero en fin, fue una solución de
 urgencia y ya no le toqué.
 El problema si no borras la que hay por defecto es que pppd crea una
 segunda por defecto, pero todos los paquetes los enruta por la
 primera que encuentra que es la de el gw de la lan.

 Si alguien se le ocurre algo más elegante, please, que me lo comente.

sencillos.

El problema esta en que el usuario domestico u ofimatico prueba lo que

y al cabo, con Netscape tienes las funcionalidades que tendria para el tema

A ver si el problema va a ser que Linux da demasiado soft al usuario :-???

Si lo que se quiere es una distribucion para quien solo quiere algo al
estilo de Guin, se coge la Debian y se le quitan los paquetes de servidor,
los editores mas tradicionales, todo lo que tenga que ver con TEX, las
herramientas de desarrollo, etc... y se le pone un sistema de instalacion de
esos que tanto se estilan ultimamente.

No se yo si el resultado valdra la pena...

2000-05-08 Thread Emilio Hernández Martín

Hola.

Tengo un fichero que el comando 'locate' no es capaz de encontrar pero
que sí puede encontrar 'find'. Es un fichero de cabecera de C que tampoco
encuentra el compilador a pesar de que debería (en teoría) hacerlo pq el
programa está probado en otro ordenador y sí que compila. Quizá sea por la
misma razón por la que 'locate' no es capaz de hallar dicho
fichero. No lo sé. ¿Alguien sabe a qué puede deberse esto?

Muchas gracias y un saludo.

Emilio.

No quiero kaffee: PostgreSQL y JBuilder.

2000-05-08 Thread Juan Carlos Muro
Hola.

Estoy instalando postgreSQL de wooddy (que por cierto, para ser
inestable va muy bien).
Quiero acceder a ella via JDBC, Pero tengo instaladas las JDK1.2.2
(necesarias para ejecutar JBuilder3.5).

Resulta que el paquete que proporciona a PostgreSQL el driver JDBC me
pide como dependencia un paquete que proporcione una JVM como 'kaffee'.
De entrada sé que 'kaffee' proporciona un ejecutable 'java'.
¿Qué ocurrirá con mis JDK y sobre todo mi JBuilder?
Y, ante lo desastroso, ¿qué solución me proponeis? ¿A alguien le ha dado
por instalar como a mí, PostgreSQL y JBuilder (que es gratuito) ?

Re: KDE Libs

2000-05-08 Thread Javier Fafián Alvarez
 Buenos dias a todos. tengo una consulta... 
 ocurre que baje un sintetizador llamado aRTS que usa librerias de KDE para
 compilar y ejecutar. Ocurre que el buen apt-get no tiene en la base estas
 librerias con lo que no puedo instalarlas.
 Antes de compilar esas librerias y hacer chanchadads quiero saber si hay donde
 decirle a apt-get que las busque e instale.

Lo de que lo busque es con apt-get update, si los tienes en medio de una
distribución nueva ( como que haya llegado hasta ti la distribución de
Potato ), pero lo normal es que las busques tu, las bajes y  las instales
con dpkg -i nombre, y finalmente hagas apt-get check, para que deje las
dependencias bien y puedas seguir usándolo. Si no hacer un apt-get check
al intentar hacer apt-get install te dirá el que arbol de dependencias
está roto.

1.- ?Como instalo mi impresora en Slink?

2.- ?Como configuro un lector de correos que baje todos mis mensajes de mi
cuenta y envie los nuevos? ?Se puede con xemacs? ?Como?

3.- ?Slink, Potato, etc. por cual vamos? ?Que tan lejos estoy del
puntero? ?Cuales son la diferencias?

Ruego:

Por favor digame alguien como utilizo el apt-get y el apt-cache. le doy y
le doy y nada. ?Como tengo que direccionar el paquete a instalar? ?El
como sabe que yo tengo el paquete en una parte especial o en los CD de la
distribucion Debian 2.1?

Afirmo:

La distribucion de Corel, Corellinux, la utilice. tratando de configurar
el raton me meti por la opcion de aranque linux-console y nada (a esta
distribucion de PC-Magazine le falta un resto de cosillas). Me meti por
linux-debug y supraque me ha quemado el cacharro de monitor que tenia.
Imaginense solo le oprimi linux-debug y el se puso a jugar con mi PC y al
rato (sin avisar y sin yo undir absolutamente nada) salio KDE, se fue
oscureciendo la pantalla, empezo a salir humo del monitor (de pelicula) y
el monitor quedo Tostado.

Xresources (era Alteração do tamanho das fontes no X)

2000-05-08 Thread Edson Yassuo Fugio
Pessoal,

Eu percebi que a minha resposta para o Gleydson usou o .Xresource
errado, mandei o que eu uso em casa, mas o correto esta em outro pc. 
Resolvi pesquisar de novo e o 
/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/XWindow-User-HOWTO.txt.gz explica a
configuração do ambiente XWindow, note que ele usa o ~/.Xdefaults, mas
na debian o correto é ~/.Xresources (man Xsession), é melhor tb não usar
o .xinitrc use .xsession
(/usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/examples/xsession).
Na debian o arquivo ~/.Xresources é consultado na inicialização do X11,
ele define recursos como cor das letras, menus, scroolbar, fontes,
praticamente toda aparência do X11.
Exemplo de um .Xresources:
!General resources
*Font: -bh-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1
! rxvt settings
Rxvt.background: black
Rxvt.foreground: white
! xterm settings
XTerm.VT100.Background: black
XTerm.VT100.Foreground: white
XTerm*Font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-130-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1

O *Font define a fonte de todos os aplicativos que suportam Xresources,
inclusive do rxvt e xterm, para usar uma fonte apenas para esse dois
terminais define-se o XTerm*Font. Cada aplicativo tem sua propria classe
de recursos (em geral com a primeira letra maiúscula), mas é possivel
ler classes de outro como no caso do rxvt; nem sempre existe
documentação dos resources disponiveis, como no caso do netscape, o
editres ajuda nesse caso gerando um texto com a classe Netscape,
infelizmente o mesmo não funcionou com o staroffice.

Alem disso é possivel testar o tamanho da fonte do rxvt com SHIFT + e
SHIFT - (+ e - do teclado numérico.

If you don't want to boot into a graphical login, the best thing to do is
probably not to start xdm at all :-) Most often, xdm is started by rc
scripts at boot time. See if your /etc/rcX.d (0X6) directories contain
links like SXxdm and delete them (1X100), but don't erase links like
KXxdm(1X100).

Problems upgrading CorelLinux to potato

2000-05-08 Thread Pedro Guerreiro
[Please CC me in all replies, as I don't read debian-user]

Hi.

I needed to do a quick install of a linux box today, and I've choosed to install
CorelLinux, with a full install. Then I upgraded it to frozen potato, using
apt, and I've come across some problems[1]:

1) cron package didn't configured sucessfully, as the CorelLinux cron
package refused to be upgraded. This caused all packages depending of the
new cron to be half-installed/half-configured until I fixed it.

2) When I restarted my machine, the mouse (PS/2) refused to work both in X
and in the console. I've reconfigured it with gpm, and it started working in
the console, but not in X[2].

3) After the reboot, the kdm won't let me login, complainig about all the
user/passwords I give. I can logon using the console perfectly though.

So, as anyone seen this? 1 and 2 don't bother me, I've reported them so that
others can see it. 3 OTOH I need to fix. I have a feeling that this is a
problem with some pam modules/rotines and the kdm. Does anybody have an
ideia as to what can I try?


Thanks,
Pedro Guerreiro


[1] I'm not using the system now, so the report is how I remember it.
[2] After I leave, a colleague of mine phoned me reporting that this was
fixed, but I haven't checked.

'kill -9' (or 'kill -s KILL' for the mnemonic-dependent) does not work.  

I have a UNIX book that says in a footnote, ...kill may not always
work...for instance, if the process invoked a device driver that is stuck
waiting for a response from the device.  In that case the signal will wait
indefinitely for recognition with no indication of what is happening.
(Abrams, Paul W. and Bruce R. Larson, _UNIX for the Impatient, 2nd ed_, p.

 network.  I've managed to get the two computers talking to each
 other now with netatalk and macgate.  I don't know how well they
 are talking to each other, but at least file sharing is
 happening.  What I'd like to do is to set the network up so that
 the Mac can use the linux box as a gateway to the internet.  We
 only have one phone line for the computer and the iMac doesn't
 have a phone out jack, so I can't daisy chain the modems
 together.  I'm a complete newbie at networking, so if someone
 could give me a run down on more or less what to do, or what
 manuals to read, I'd greatly appreciate it.
 
 2.  Along the same lines, I'd like to harden the machine against the
 outside world a bit.  I know I probably should put up a firewall,
 but have no clue as to where to start.  Again any hints would be
 great.
 
 3.  A bit off topic, but has anyone had any expriences installing
 GNU/Linux on IBM Aptivas?  Any show stoppers that I might have to know
 about?  I have to install GNU/Linux onto a professors computer

 I think that's it for now.  Thanks in advance.

 Hello again...
 
 I've noticed that Debian frozen/potato has already used the PAM security

 I also heard somewhere that PAM has a security hole? Using a so-called

 Is this also a problem with the Debian distro?
 Should I, or should I not remove PAM?

you cannot remove pam, not without breaking/removing /bin/login
/bin/su and everything else ;-)  not what you want.

as to the security bug it was not in pam itself but rather in one
specific modules, pam_console, the bug was really in a suid binary
that is a helper for pam_console, here it the basic details:

/usr/bin/consolehelper is a suid program, it accepts the argument of a
path to another utility say /bin/shutdown.  I don't remember the exact
details of how it does its checks, but what you could do was this:

compile a pam `module' with the following source:

[...]
system(/bin/sh);

then create a pam configuration file in /tmp calling that fake
module.  you then ran /usr/bin/consolehelper ../../../../../../../pamslam.conf

it would read the fake config file in /tmp and load the fake pam
module we created, executing /bin/sh -- as root -- blamo r00t shell!

console-helper allows the admin to define arbitary binaries that can
be run as root based on custom authentication conf files in /etc/pam.d
the problem is these config files are specified as an argument to the
suid /usr/bin/consolehelper and it allowed you to specify bogus things
like ../../../../../../etc/pam.d/r00tshell.  AFAIK there is no other
standard program that allows this kind of manipulation.  (/bin/login
and /bin/su hard code there pam service name so you cannot ask it to
`be something else') 

now the good news:  Debian does not use nor include this evil module
in potato ;-)  we are NOT vulnerable to that bug as we don't even have
the rootsh^H^H^H^H^H^Hconsolehelper

 (Some security scheme... if it only turns out that it itself is a weak
 spot)

that can happen, but in this case `pam' is not a monolithic system,
its merely a set of modules and libraries, you can write creative
programs that use pam in creative ways but if you get too creative
like pam_console you get problems.  things like /bin/login and /bin/su
use pam in much more sane ways then console-helper does. 

[note: i am not certain this is the vulnerablity you are referring to
as your were not very specific, but the console-helper exploit was
called `pamslam']

 That is why I use sudo rather than su.

the problem with using sudo this way (i assume you just allow your
acount to use `ALL' programs as root?) is you no longer need the root
password anymore, your account passwd is as good as root's so if your
account is broken into its automatic root for the intruder once he
discovers your sudo privileges.  now if he got in without having
figured out your password and you did not specify NOPASSWD for
everything in suders you might be safe, for awhile anyway...   

i prefer to keep it so if my account is broken my system is still
reletivly secure (ie they still have the formidable task of finding a
root hole the old fasioned way instead of just sudo bash), thus i
don't grant much extra privilege to my own account.

waiting for a response from the device.  In that case the signal will wait
indefinitely for recognition with no indication of what is happening.
(Abrams, Paul W. and Bruce R. Larson, _UNIX for the Impatient, 2nd ed_, p.
32)  This sounds like my situation all right.  

One kind soul has so far sent me an alternate suggestion which I will try
after some sleep.  It if comes to a reboot (dread!), anything to watch out
for?  Thanks.  -Eric Worden

I suspect that your program is indeed stuck in the D state (the blocked
on input/output situation you describe above is indicated by a D in the
process table - ps or whatever - though often you see it temporarily and
it doesn't do any harm). In that case there's probably not a lot you can
do. The kernel panic is a little worrying, but if you're seeing no other
symptoms (and can still mount and unmount filesystems, which is usually
the first casualty) then you can probably just ignore it and go on as
normal.

You shouldn't have any problems next time you reboot, unless mounting
and unmounting has broken in which case you might have to wait for it to
do a fsck.

pcmcia - network

2000-05-08 Thread Robert Fendt
hi folks,

i am running debian linux 2.1 (kernel 2.0.38) on a laptop with a 3com 3c589D
ethernet card (pcmcia).
there are scripts

A) /etc/init.d/pcmcia (starting pcmcia services)
B) /etc/init.d/network (containing loopback  nic config, ip adresses etc..,
starting the network)
C) /etc/pcmcia/network (i don't know what it does ;=( )

problem:
at boottime, script A is being executed AFTER script B. this results in the
network being unreachable or eth0 being unknown when script A tries to
assign the ip-adress or the netmask to eth0.
after i login and run ifconfig, i only get information about the
loopback-device. i can then run script B manually. afterwards i get info also
about eth0 and can run ftp's, telnet's, pings etc... between it and another
machine.

question:
how can i manage the proper sequence of execution of A and B (and maybe C ???)
so that my network can run even if noone is logged in on my laptop

thanx
rob

write protect floppy forever!?

2000-05-08 Thread Kenneth Scharf
I wanted to copy a floppy (as an image).  So I
inserted a floppy in /dev/fd0 and used dd if=/dev/fd0
of=./temp
then pop'ed the source diskette out and replaced it
with a blank and used dd if=./temp of=/dev/fd0
(while root of course :-)

This works fine, but if in the first move the floppy
was write protected the second command fails with
write only file system.  I couldn't again write to
/dev/fd0 without rebooting.  Loging out as root and
loging in again as root won't help.  There must be a
way to tell /dev/fd0 to read the damn write protect
switch again

Re: Problem moving /usr to new partition

2000-05-08 Thread David Wright
Quoting Larry Elmore ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 I've got potato installed on a 1.5GB partition, and have another hard drive
 with an available 2GB partition (type 82 Linux, formatted ext2fs) on to
 which I want to move /usr. I copied the contents of /usr on to the new
 partition, then edited /etc/fstab, moved the original /usr to /usr-old and
 created a new /usr. When I rebooted, most everything seemed to work, but I
 noticed a handful of error messages scrolling by. The only one I had time to
 read was that /usr/bin/aumix couldn't be found (because it's called when the
 sound module is loaded into the kernel (to turn the volume on my SB16 down
 to 50%), but /usr hadn't been mounted yet.

Hm, I'm not sure why it would have worked before. My modules load
before /usr is mounted as you can see in this snippet:

 opl3sa ad1848/cs4248 codec driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
 Checking all file systems...
 Parallelizing fsck version 1.12 (9-Jul-98)

 /dev/sda4: clean, 11560/395264 files, 1385686/1577457 blocks
 Mounting local file systems...
 /dev/sda3 on /usr type ext2 (rw)

 I couldn't find it or any of the
 other failures to load something from /usr in any of the log files in
 /var/log, so I'm not sure what's missing. _Most_ things seem to work
 properly, but a few things fail miserably (for example, 'man' tells me it
 can't setuid properly and aborts). I commented out the line in /etc/fstab
 and moved contents of /usr-old back to /usr and everything works properly
 now.
 
 My question is: what else do I need to do to move /usr onto a new partition
 and have Linux boot properly? I re-read the HOWTOs and can't find any
 mention of anything other than what I tried. Help!

At risk of starting a religious discussion, I've been very happy with

cd /usr
ls -lR  /path-to/old-listing
mount /dev/XXX /mnt
find -xdev | cpio -damp /mnt(-vdamp if you want to watch)
cd /mnt
ls -lR  /path-to/new-listing

You don't have to do the listings, but I did, and ran them through a
python filter to blank out the modification dates on directories.
I then ran diff -u on the resulting output and the only differences
were the bigger directories on the source as they had once contained
more entries. Finally I checked that the hard linked /usr/X11R6/bin
and /usr/bin/X11/ had the same inode number.

If you do all this with /, you also have to prune any mounted
filesystems from old-listing as I don't know how to make -xdev apply
to ls. However, it coped with all the stuff in /dev such as pipes
and sockets, and also links broken or otherwise.

Take care with /etc/fstab. There was a recent example on this list where
someone had overlooked the fact that its lines are obeyed in sequence.

Cheers,

I've certainly got (I know not how) into a situation where the kernel
was convinced all floppies were write-protected even when they weren't.
I now have the floppy driver compiled as a module, but am still waiting
for this bug to strike again.

I'm only passing on what I have read somewhere, so this may be wrong.

The errors are deliberate and are part of the copy-protection scheme.
If you manage to skip the errors and write an error-free disc, the
playstation will reject it as a counterfeit.

So you'd have to copy the disc at a lower level. This makes sure that
only organised criminals can afford to make copies, not Johnny next door.

Mount the partition with the uuid option.  The specified user will own
all of the files in the vfat partition.  See man 8 mount.  You need
root privileges to do the mount or edit /etc/fstab to add this option,

Re: dd and Playstation CDs

I have a 3yr old who LOVES cds.  He has destroyed more cds than I have
and I have a hobby of getting AOL giveaways and nuking them...  They make
great coasters and frisbees.

At any rate, you can get what's known as a modchip so you can backup
your own games (keep the originals in a safe or such location) and play
the backups.  Gettting the chip is easy, but installing it can be very
hard as you can destroy your PSX if you're not careful.  I had to find
someone who could install it for me.

You'll need to use the cdrdoa package/program.

However, because of special things on the hub of psx game CD's, you wont
be able to use them in your playstation. There is a wealth of hacker
resources on the web regarding this, and how to get around it...I'm not

If your kernel has floppy support compiled as a module,
you can 
# rmmod floppy
and next time the floppy module is loaded everything is
fine.

The floppy driver is a bit flaky (not many people rely
on it heavily, I guess), and compiling it as a module
is a Good Thing, IMO.
