RE: evitar actualizacion de un paquete concreto.
Buenos dias... Se pueden indicar paquetes intocables? Con el dselect se hace, apuntando al paquete que quieras mantener, pulsando '=' o 'H'. Para que vuelva a su estado normal (actualizable) pulsa ':' o 'G' Espero que te sirva. Saludos
RE: No tengo demoño de impresión! (ya tengo)
Bueno. Hice todo lo que me dijistéis y un poco más. Y descubrí que SI tenía demonio, que la impresora estaba en /dev/lp0 como era de esperar, que funcionaba perfectamente... pero que no mandaba los trabajos a la impresora. Y me digo: ¿no sera que el demonio lo intenta pero no puede? Y ¡bingo!. En el /var/log/lpr.log (creo que se llama así) me aparece un error al ejecutar un filtro que yo había añadido para que me arreglara los retornos de carro en texto ASCII. Todo el problema era que el la primera linea ponía #!perl en lugar de #!/usr/bin/perl y lo más divertido es que en el archivo había un comentario que decía que había que poner el path completo. Cosas que pasan. Gracias por todos los consejos. He aprendido un poco más sobre la árdua tarea de apañar las impresoras en Linux (es mi pral problema desde que empecé). Un saludo.

Problemas con el ispell en emacs
GlaciarHola a todos: Mi problema es el siguiente. El otro da escribiendo con el emacs quise utilizar el ispell para que me corrigiera las faltas de ortografa pero no me reconoca los acentos. Buscando en la documentacin del ispell vi que el comando a ejecutar era ispell -T latin1 Lo ejecut desde consola y todo fue perfectamente pero cuando intent buscar en la configuracin de emacs donde se pona la orden para el ispell vi que haba una lnea que pona ms o menos Program for spell .. ispell Entonces lo cambi poniendole los modificadores pero me daba error diciendome ispell -T latin1 program not found. As que segu buscando y encontr en la configuracin de emacs otra lnea que pona modifiers for speell y all se lo puse, pero nada, otra vez error, as que desist y ejecut el ispell desde consola pero me gustara saber donde se ponen esas cosas porque seguro que se puede hacer desde dentro de emacs y as no tendra que estar cambiando a la consola.

Sobre comentarios en printcap.
Un comentario sobre comentarios en /etc/printcap. Antes de arreglar el filtro que fallaba, (ver re:notengo demoo de impresin (ya tengo) ) intent comentar la lnea del printcap que lo inclua pero lo sega llamando. Supongo que como la lnea anterior acababa con \ l utilizaba la siguiente lnea aunque estuviera comentada, pero slo es una conjetura. Alguien puede arrojar un poquito de lux? Grachias.

Re: recompilar paquetes
On Wed, 20 Sep 2000, you wrote: Cual es el procedimiento para recompilar un deb? Lo que he hecho hasta ahora es dpkg-source -x app.dsc, y despues en el directorio que el comando anterior creó, un ./debian/rules binary y todo generalmente anda de maravilla. El problema se me presenta en los casos en que el resultado son varios .deb, algunos de los cuales para ser generados requieren tener librerias que no estan instaladas o configuradas en mi sistema, por ejemplo las Mesa3d en que no tengo soporte para ggi o php4 en que no me interesa los deb que se refieren a postgresql porque uso mysql. ¿Como lo soluciono? sospecho que editar el debian/rules puede ser el camino, pero ¿existe alguna manera mas limpia y corta de hacer esto? A ver, estás planteando varios problemas distintos: 1º Cómo saber qué bibliotecas se necesitan para compilar un paquete. Esto está resuelto si instalas el paquete build-essential y aquellos paquetes que haya en el Build-Depends del paquete que vayas a compilar. Si esto no funciona, es un bicho. Mándalo si tampoco funciona con la versión de woody. 2º Cómo generar solamente los paquetes que nos interesan de un paquete fuente dado. La única posibilidad *general* que se me ocurre para esto es utilizar los objetivos binary-arch y binary-indep. 3º Qué pasa si unos paquetes necesitan unas bibliotecas y otros no, y precisamente los que nos interesan son los que no necesitan esas bibliotecas. Bueno, aquí está el Build-Depends y el Build-Depends-Indep. Más granularidad en general no hay, y no espero que la haya, porque el objetivo principal de Build-Depends y compañía es facilitar la labor de los autobuilders (las máquinas que se encargan de recompilar los paquetes a cada una de las arquitecturas). Vaya, otra vez que suelto un rollo tremendo y me da la impresión de no haber dado ninguna solución...

XTerm: hacer funcionar Alt+Tecla
Hola! Alguien había comentado aquí que al ejecutar aplicaciones en XTerm dejaban de funcionar las combinaciones de teclas que usan Alt (Meta para los Linuxeros). Es jodido si usas el BitchX, el MC y algún otro programilla. Como siempre he pensado que la XTerm te deja configurar todo, no dudé que esto se podría arreglar. Y por supuesto que se arregla. Parece que la XTerm viene configurada para que Alt+Tecla escriba una letra de 8bits. Nada util porque ya tenemos la 'ñ' y los acentos a mano. Así que si se desactiva esto, Alt pasa a hacer su función normal ( que es enviar ESC+tecla ). Por tanto, añadir la siguiente línea al ~/.Xresources: XTerm*EightBitInput: False La próxima vez que arranqueis el X Window la XTerm funcionará de manera diferente y podreis usar el BitchX desde ella. -- Saudos: ose[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Vigo/Galicia/España) http://pagina.de/xmanoel/ http://w3.to/mikkeli/

Missing modules - system still silent
Many thanks for the help thus far - I was clearly mixing two methods of kernel compilation! Now, I've compiled the kernel yet again (8th try I think) and STILL the system can't find the modules - that is I get lots of can't find module at boot up time. More symptoms... 1. In /lib/modules/2.2.17 there seem to be lots of modules and a modules.dep file. 2. /etc/modules contains a list of modules 3. On firing up the Gnome sound mixer and the Gnome cd player (both of which are installed, I get a message No mixers found. Make sure you have sound support configured in the kernel. (it's sound support I'm after - the one thing lacking). It seems that something is not finding the information it needs at boot time. Can anyone help me on this? with thanks once again Glyn M. -- ** * The soul is greater than the hum of its parts. * * Douglas Hoftstatder* **

Can anyone explain the significance of '508' and say if I can safely change ownership or if some other course of action is desirable. Owner and group IDs are numeric. When you do something like `ls -l` the numeric IDs are converted to the corresponding users and groups according to /etc/passwd and /etc/group. Apparently, you don't have entries for ID 508, so it does not get converted. Grateful for any assistance. this happens when you extract tarballs as root (which you should not do) most people who create tarballs don't do so under fakeroot so the ownership is root.root. Extract *any* tarball as a normal user. It will set owner and group to that of the user extracting it. Most software will build from a normal user account. Installing in system locations will require more privileges though. chown -R root.root qt chmod -R u+rwX,go=Rx qt Hmm, suppose there's a set uid script in qt ... Well, you gotta be root to do this anyway, so I guess you already know that you may be asking for trouble ;-) me, when i create tarballs for distribution i always check that everything is world readable and not writable by anyone but owner, no extranious execute bits set. then run fakeroot tar -zcvpf foo.tar.gz foo this way all the ownership in the tarball is set to root.root as it should be. -- Olaf Meeuwissen Epson Kowa Corporation, Research and Development
Re: Do you recomend to upgrade to Woody?
This kind of question is pretty hard to answer, since it depends very intimately on your situation, what you use it for, your skill and comfort level, etc. Probably the answer is, it isn't a big deal either way. Maybe the best thing is to just try it; you can just downgrade back to potato if the sky falls (not likely, btw). I switched from potato to woody on July 31st. My system just has a ppp (dialup) net connection; most all I use it for is developing personal programs (mostly opengl and mysql stuff lately), checking email, and reading slashdot; occasionally, I play Q3A. The only problem I noticed *at all* was that zsh had problems with autocompletion; my weekly 'apt-get dist-upgrade' fixed that after a few weeks, and now my system seems at least as stable/bugfree as potato was. Has anyone used woody for mission critical stuff? I know some people run woody-based web servers, eg, but I haven't. Aaron On Wed, 20 Sep 2000, Rogelio E.

Interesting, but IMO wasteful. You're utilizing less than 20 MB of your 200 MB root partition. /tmp is far larger than I've ever needed, though this could change -- I typically use about 50-90% of my 300 MB /var. You're using 5% of /usr -- 236 MB of 5 GB, and 5% of /usr/local (157 MB of 3 GB). Then there's that /misc partition. Suppose you went with something more like: PartitionAllocated Used% Used Mounted -- /dev/hda240 MB 19 MB 48% / /dev/hda5 100 MB 0 MB 0% /tmp /dev/hda6 1,000 MB 30 MB 3% /var /dev/hda7 2,000 MB236 MB 12% /usr /dev/hda8 2,000 MB157 MB 8% /usr/local /dev/hda10 11,360 MB 10 MB 0% /home -- total16,500 MB == This should give you room to grow in /usr and /usr/local (up /usr by a GB if you think you'll need it), and gives you a nice, fat, unbroken 11.36 GB in /home to stash your pr0n, MP3s and stuff g. It's like buying an additional 8 GB of disk, for free. We've gotten rid of /misc.

apt-get questions ?????
Hi there people, Okay I took the plunge to update my Debian Slink with some of the latest updates. I installed linuxconf with apt-get and now my lynx, slrn and debconf is dead. Dead Dead !!! I dunno what other packages are affected, it'll probably take time to figure that out... when I need to use it, that is. So the big question here is : How do I go about reinstalling these packages. I prefer to use lynx to access websites rather than going in to X and starting up a graphical browser to view the page. Furthermore, graphics take more bandwidth and time to download. Thank you in advance. Saranjit.

Re: Spammer by incompetence, RBL may be an option
The RBL is for spammers, that is, UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email), UBE (Unsolicited Bulk Email), also, fraud (mailbombing etc) is sometimes considered spam. It is *not* intended for misconfigured/-programmed mailers, nor a list of open relays (ORBS http://www.orbs.org/ is doing that). Read http://maps.vix.com/rbl/candidacy.html . So, the RBL is simply the wrong place for something like that. Also the RBL is used throughout the internet for *blackholing* all IP-connectivity from spammers. If you misconfigured your MTA (or simply chose a, say, broken, one), what would you say if you were cut off from ~ 40 % of the internet, as would be the effect if you were RBLed?

I installed linuxconf with apt-get and now my lynx, slrn and debconf is dead. Dead Dead !!! I dunno what other packages are affected, it'll probably take time to figure that out... when I need to use it, that is. So the big question here is : How do I go about reinstalling these packages. I prefer to use lynx to access websites rather than going in to X and starting up a graphical browser to view the page. Furthermore, graphics take more bandwidth and time to download. Wierd! That's rather scary actually. I hope someone is looking into what caused this. Run an apt-get check to check all of your packages' states. If these aren't working, it will hopefully report it. Otherwise, try reinstalling them. apt-get install lynx, etc. See what happens. Also, you say you're updating from slink. I'd recommend a full dist-upgrade to potato. That may solve all of these problems. Not that they should have happened, mind you. Something like this should never happen, IMHO, but unfortunately we live in the real world. Mike -- Michael P.

nis and netbase
I just did an apt-get dist-upgrade to woody from potato It seems that today at least, the existing version of nis (nis_3.6-2.deb) won't play nicely with the latest netbase (netbase4.0.5). netbase says it won't deal with any nis =3.6-2. From dselect when I try to install nis; netbase conflicts with nis (= 3.6-2) nis depends on netbase Any ideas? I tried backing off to the potato netbase but dselect kept trying to reinstall the later netbase. PS. Is there a command-line option on dpkg or apt-get to print out dependancies to stdout? Thanks, Doug Eck
X-Window Configuration
I had some difficulties starting the X-server, but now I just do not know where to start with installing windowmanager. I am interested in using GNOME. Could any one of you point out where I can start reading. BTW: Where can I get information about the Linux-filesystem? Stephan

Re: ESS1868
i have a ess1888 and i've had nothing but bad luck with it. i can get my to install properly but it would always dma/io timeout. not even the driver authors were sure what was wrong so i eventually gave up (after about 1 yr and two kernel version, 2.0 and 2.2) and bought a cheap, but real, sb16. some stuff you can try: have you checked /dev/sndstat? that might provide some more information if you installed the drivers into the kernel. otherwise if its a modules (as in the generic kernel that came with the install) you might want to try other irq/ioport settings. most drivers don't install properly b/c the io/irq settings are wrong. though it was probed w/ isapnp... ? also the dma and dma16 settings can be fiddled with. you can also try just setting the dma and not the dma16 or maybe setting them to the same one. and finally, play around w/ the esstype parameter. set it for the ess1688 (i think its this one) to make it behave like the 2.0 kernel drivers did. this might fix it for you. all this information is in the sound HOWTO. i'd recommend you read (or reread) that... good luck. herbert On Wed, Sep 20, 2000 at 10:09:04PM +0800, Tommy Wu wrote: Hi!

vim expandtab
Hi, I installed vim on my potato box. It seems to be a great vi replacement. But, is there any way to make vim to insert spaces when the tab button is presses. I think I have to set the expandtab setting by the command: :set et But this doesn't seem to always work. Most notably when I use the command O or o. When I use these commands there is still an 8space tab that is inserted. Is there any way to get the tab repacement option to work all the time... I want it to act like nedit does with the emulate tab option. Thanks = --- Academia is a little like child | Parrish M.

Re: Printing--what am I missing? -- solved!
No problem. It isn't for me either ... Now if only I can figure out why my printer daemon is just sitting there ignoring printjobs. ;-) I suppose you are aware of the thread, hence you know what has been tried and I suppose it didn't work for you ;-) If you could describe your problem more exactly maybe I, or more likely someone else, could give you a hint. 1) lpr or lprng? 2) Can you print anything? 3) Can you print as root? 4) What does lpc status give you? 5) When you restart lpd what does happen (have a look at the foreground option for debugging)? 6) Which printer and which filter? 6 and a half) Beside your printing-problem lpd seems consequential just sitting around and contemplating the landscape, supposing he is discovering his aesthetic nature...

Broken kde?
I'm getting this with my new woody. And what a woody it is. startx starts startkde. Kde2 dies. If I look on console 1 at the output I see: /usr/lib/libkdeui.so.3 undefined symbol: Event__9QLineEditP6QEvent I think I've got just about every kde2 package loaded. No complaints from kdebase when it installs. On console 7, the WM does kick in, give a left-arrow mouse and complains about dcoptserver or however you spell it. But I'd say a broken library is the cause... *Second question*... I want kdm to build me a new kdmrc file. It sees /etc/kde and offers to update the existing file, but there is no existing file. How do I force kdm to generate a new file base on all users and all avail. window managers? Any suggestions? Doug Eck
