Extraño comportamiento de CD-ROM
Hola. ¿Me recuerdan? Soy el que al ir a actualizarse de slink a potato mediante cederrones le fallaba el apt en el momento cumbre. Bien, ahora un amigo y colega se ha actualizado con esos mismos cederrones, sin problemas. Él tenía en slink el núcleo 2.0.36, y después de la actualización se puso el 2.2.17 que trae potato. Entonces fue a instalarse algún paquete y dio la orden habitual apt-get install PAQUETE Todo bien, le pide que meta el CD Nº x (1 = x = 4), lo mete, le endiña un dedazo a la tecla Intro y... ¡error y horror! Vuelve a repetirle que meta el CD Nº X, y así ad nauseam y ad infinitum. Parece ser que desmonta el CD si estaba montado, lo vuelve a montar pero no lo detecta bien y lo vuelve a desmontar y a preguntar. Por supuesto está muy comprobado que el CD es el correcto. Puede montar el CD a mano con mount /cdrom y no hay ningún problema en acceder a él. Pero para instalar paquetes es imposible. ¡Pero él se ha actualizado con este método y ha funcionado! ¿Cómo es eso? Se vuelve a poner el núcleo 2.0.36, da el apt-get install PAQUETE, y ¡todo funciona perfectamente! O sea, resumen: con el 2.0.X puede instalar paquetes desde el CD-ROM. Con el 2.2.x (también hemos probado con el 2.2.14) no puede, por el problema anterior. Sin embargo, yo en mi casa con el 2.2.17 y otros compañeros y en otros ordenadores, no tenemos ese problema. ¡Toma misterio! ¿Alguien sabe algo? (Esto quizá ya no es específico de Debian...) Tiene también otros problemas: su servidor X-Window XF86_SVGA 3.3.6 muere (y resucita automáticamente) cuando ejecuta el juego asteroides de las KDE, en cuanto sale el primer pedrusco dando vueltas. Tiene una Nvidia RIVA TNT2 Ultra. ¿Será por la aceleración 3D? Porque con el trabajo normal, no le pasa nada (XEmacs, teTeX, ...) No hay forma de cargar el controlador (módulo) de su tarjeta de sonido, una Ensoniq Audio-PCI (Soundblaster PCI 128), es1371. ¿Problema con la IRQ quizás? En WIndows98 le funciona, claro. Tenemos tarjetas de esas (SB PCI) por aquí en mil sitios y nunca dieron ningún problema. Al recompilarle el núcleo, el gcc falló lamentablemente dando un error interno. Al repetir la orden, pasó por ese sitio sin problemas pero volvió a fallar más adelante. Al volver a repetir, acabó la compilación bien. Mosqueante. Los tests exhaustivos de memoria en el arranque de la BIOS no muestran ningún problema con sus 128 MB. ¿Alguna ayuda, sugerencia, indicación? -- Gerardo Aburruzaga García - Analista de sistemas del Servicio de Informática Escuela Superior de Ingeniería - C/Chile Nº 1 - 11003 Cádiz (Andalucía, España) Tlfnos.: fijo: 956-01-5124, móvil: 670-94-5321 - UNIVERSIDAD DE CÁDIZ --- No dé crédito a todo lo que oiga, ni a todo lo que diga.
Re: CDs de Hurd
Virgilio Gómez Rubio: ¿Se pueden hacer CDs de Hurd de la misma forma que para potato-i386? de la misma forma no, porque: * No hay disks-hurd-i386. * No todas las cosas necesarias para la instalación (desde Linux) están bajo el directorio dists/sid/main en los archivos de FTP de Debian. Si quieres hacer algo parecido lo mejor es que consultes en debian-hurd, ya hay gente pensando en ello.

exim/mutt y multiples cuentas de correo
Saludos lista, hace una semana que he instalado potato y ya puedo enviar y recibir correos, con una combinación de fetchmail, exim, y mutt. El problema que tengo es que si bien todo funciona no encuentro la manera de configurarlo limpiamente para que haga lo que necesito, cosa que paso a detallar. Mi intensión es que desde un único usuario (user) en mi potato (miPC) poder enviar correos usando como MUA mutt (en principio, pero me gustaría que sea independiente del MUA), pero como tengo varias cuentas de correo de distintos dominios me gustaría poder especificar quien es el sender y a donde el correspondiente reply, cada vez que tengo que enviar un correo. No se cual será la forma correcta de hacer esto, ya que soy bastante novato, por lo que leí mi intención era crear distintos .muttrc para cada usuario, y por ese lado me parece que puede llegar a andar, al menos lo que respecta al nombre real del usuario para el mutt, pero donde no tengo idea es con el exim que me pide un qualify_domain que tengo que agregar porque sino (ya lo probé) el smtp de mi provider me devuelve los correos: must to be a valid domain (algo así) si dejo el default (miPC), funciona si pongo cualquiera que sea valido, pero queda fijo, cosa que no es lo que pretendo ya que como les decía las cuentas de correo no son del mismo sitio. Bueno espero me halla podido explicar bien lo que quiero hacer y si me pueden decir por donde tengo que encarar el asunto, que entre que mi ingles no es el mejor y que exim tiene tanta documentación no se cuando voy a acabar de tener operativo mi correo en Potato.

Pues menos mal que he leido tu email esta mañana, porque llegaba yo al trabajo con mis disquetes con el libc y los libdb pero no el ldso, he seguido tus pasos y he conseguido hacer downgrade correctamente. Mira que pruebo estas cosas primero en casa, ante de aplicarlas en el trabajo, pero ayer... Lo que me ha chocado es el servido pop ipo3d, que daba un error al acceder a el, y sin embargo haciendo ldd /usr/sbin/ipop3d no presenta ninguna dependencia de libdb2, porque lo del sendmail, pues esta claro, el servidor LDAP tambien funcionaba correctamente. Bueno, habra que esperar a que se replanifiquen estos cambios, sobre todo si no queremo arriesgarnos mucho. Saludos.

Procesamiento de correo ( SMAIL Y PROCMAIL )
Bueno chicos, quien haya leido mis correos sabrá que estoy liado con el correo (valga la redundancia) ;-) Ahora que he conseguido que me funcione el trio: mutt, fetchmail y smail, intento refinar su funcionamiento. Quiero procesar el correo de entrada para entregarlo, según remitente (NO NECESITO MUCHAS MÁS OPCIONES), a distintos mailbox (ficheros), de tal manera que cuando arranque mi mutt no me encuentre todos los mails en el mailbox por defecto, sino que los procedentes de determinados lugares ya estén clasificados en sus determinadas carpetas. Me he hartado de buscar información en Internet sobre smail, he leido mucho pero no he encontrado nada que permita, o mejor dicho, me informe sobre este análisis del campo from en concreto, y de su uso para la clasificación del mail entrante. Creo que eso lo puedo hacer con procmail, sobre él si que he encontrado alguna información clara y concisa :-)) Mi pregunta es la siguiente: ¿puedo hacer el filtrado que quiero (por remitente) con el smail o tengo que instalarme por obligación el procmail? Por favor, si alguien conoce la respuesta que me informe de ella y de un posible lugar donde encontrar información, o que me diga directamente como puedo hacerlo. La última de estas opciones será recompensada con una :-) Musschas Gracias.

configurar ip-fw
Hola debianeros/as, A principios de agosto migré una máquina con slinka a potato frozen. Todo de maravilla, excepto el squid que se me rompió y lo tuve que instalar desde fuentes, pero eso es otra historia. Lo que me pasa ahora es que detecto que no se pueden acceder a algunos puertos de la máquina.

Me han surgido un montón de cuestiones. ¿Que hace este software funcionando y de donde ha salido? ¿Como se configura? ¿Donde puedo encontrar documentación?

Re: Socorro! un fichero fantasma!
Hola Alguna vez instale un programa (un asunto matematico especial) que habia sido hecho para unix y para utilizar el makefile (en ese caso) lo tuve que modificar porque el install (como comando) de unix y de linux tenia parametros distintos. Ademas, una vez instalado, habia una funcion predefinida de C que dada valor for default verdadero en los unix y falso en linux. Ese tipo de variaciones puede incomodar tanto la instalacion como el funcionamiento. Como dice Alberto, y con lo que digo lo confirmo, si importas un programa y lo compilas o instalas (segun sea el programa), tal vez debas revisar si todo lo que usa es acorde con linux o debes retocarlo.

Al fin! no era tan complicado como lo pense, tenia un problema en la configuracion del exim y por eso mi desesperacion, al final todo se arreglo colocando un qualify_domain (que sea valido) y agregando ademas un qualify_recipient (esto ultimo era lo que fallaba, porque no existia y usaba el qd) lo demas de las multiples cuentas se puede hacer facilmente agregando en muttrc: set realname=USER NAME my_hdr FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] al menos asi lo hice al principio, pero luego leyendo la documentacion encontre estaba escf para editar el from Por lo que les debo una disculpa, pero es que despues de 10 dias uno quiere qeu el correo fucione y ya me estaba desesperando. moraleja RTFM :) Andres
Re: Extraño comportamiento de CD-ROM
Gerardo Aburruzaga Garcia dijo: Él tenía en slink el núcleo 2.0.36, y después de la actualización se puso el 2.2.17 que trae potato. Entonces fue a instalarse algún paquete y dio la orden habitual apt-get install PAQUETE Todo bien, le pide que meta el CD Nº x (1 = x = 4), lo mete, le endiña un dedazo a la tecla Intro y... ¡error y horror! Vuelve a repetirle que meta el CD Nº X, y así ad nauseam y ad infinitum. Este problema salió publicado en esta lista hace bastante tiempo. Si no recuerdo mal, se trataba de un cambio de lectura en los nuevos núcleos, que leían de diferente manera el ID de los cédés (o algo similar). Se trataba de borrar el contenido referente a los CD que hayais cargado de los ficheros: /etc/apt/sources.list y /var/state/apt/cdroms.list Luego se vuelven a cargar los discos con apt-cdrom, se hace un update y solucionado. O sea, resumen: con el 2.0.X puede instalar paquetes desde el CD-ROM. Con el 2.2.x (también hemos probado con el 2.2.14) no puede, por el problema anterior. Si ya hubiese estado actualizado a los 2.2.X tampoco hubiese tenido el problema. Espero que se solucione como os digo. De todas formas, si los problemas siguen, siempre os queda el método multicd del dselect. Basta con instalar el paquete multicd, abrir el dselect, poner el último disco y darle a actualizar (update). Es algo más lento que el apt pero también funciona.

I have two questions that I am trying to get answered for them, and did not find the info on the Debian web site: 1) What are the minimum hardware requirements for installing Debian GNU/Linux? Will this change for near-future versions (next 18 mos or so)? Debian slink (2.1) will run from 386 upwards with 4MB of RAM and you should have hd-space of at least about 50 MB for the base-system. That's the Minimum for slink. Of course you can build a system based on Debian, that will run from a floppy on a 386-machine with 2MB of RAM, but you won't be able to do much with it. For potato (2.2) you need 12 MB of RAM to install and hd-space of about 80 MB, although the system will run on machines with fewer RAM. Then you have to install slink and do an upgrade to potato. (did it on a machine with 8Mb, works fine). You can use X on a 486 with 8 MB RAM, but it won't be that fast, and you have to think about which programs you use. I think the minimum to run almost every program that comes with debian in a more or less comfortable way (except Netscape, as that really is a resource hog) would be Pentium processor with 32 Mb of RAM and about 2 or 3 GB of hd.

read only root partition
Hi! I want to install debian on a computer, where only the /var partition would be writeable. Has anyone of you done it? Any advice? The possible problems: Some programs want to have write access to /etc to work properly. Putting a link to /var/etc/file from /etc/file should work. /dev needs write access (how do I do that exactly? mount /dev from another partition?) A concrete example: /etc/nologin is written during boot time and erased after that. If I put a link to /var/etC/nologin from /etc/nologin, it won't work as /etc/nologin wont be erasable :-( And I didn't find a way to specify another file to login/nologin Thanks for you help!

What is GNU stow, why is it so cool, and is there a URL I should look at? 'apt-get install stow' The idea is that, instead of installing locally installed software into random directories in /usr/local and then ending up with them all mixed up and with no idea what to do if you ever want to uninstall them again, you install the software into /usr/local/stow/package-name instead. Then you cd to /usr/local/stow and type 'stow package-name'. It looks through the /usr/local/stow/package-name tree and creates the minimal set of symlinks in /usr/local necessary to make the package look like it had been installed straight into /usr/local in the first place - so, with just one package you'll probably just have /usr/local/bin symlinked to /usr/local/stow/quake/bin or whatever, but when you install a second package it'll split up the symlinks as necessary. When you want to uninstall the package, you just cd to /usr/local/stow again and type 'stow -D package-name', and it'll do the symlink magic in reverse; then you can delete /usr/local/stow/package-name in one go. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: read only root partition
Hi, yes, I know that root can remount the partition in read/write. However, with LIDS, it's possible to limit access to commands, even for root. So the root partition would be read-only and would stay like that. Access to Lilo would also be limited. /var could be noexec so any filed copied to it wouldn't be executable. Another reason for the read-only is the fact that when the computer is not properly rebooted, the partitions don't have to go through e2fsck.

RE: Dual NIC Problem
Well it sure didn't take to long to reach the limit of my knowledge. I really don't know where to look to find what services are running. I found a /etc/services file but that looked more like porting information (telnet 23/tcp). I could not find anything that had the a telnet 127.0.0.1 110 line. Sorry, I am a new user. I am trying this as work and we are on an ethernet network running TCP/IP on class b numbers. There are only two Debian machines on the network right now. Both are purely experimental at this point. I did check the hosts file at it does have the machine name and IP number. When I said I could ping I meant I can the IP address not the device name. I don't have anything set up for name resolution right now for these machines. We are basically an NT VAX shop. The second experimental machine that has only one NIC card I can telnet into just fine without any problems. In setting up the second NIC card on the first machine I could not find much documentation so I just decided to edit the /etc/host file and added another line with the same device name and a second IP address on another segment. Then I went to the /etc/network/interfaces file and added a iface eth1 inet static section defining the IP address, netmask, network, broadcast and gateway numbers. That all I did. I could not find much more information in the How Tos, online documentation or SAMs Debian Unleashed book. I am sure I have missed something. In any case thanks for the help and I hope I have provided enough information to fuel an answer.

Re: SysVinit prob... now runlevel question
- As I understand it, X86 hardware hardly ever uses anything but two - levels. I know sun hardware actually makes significant use of the - runlevels, but I am made to understand that nobody ever really bothered - to implement any more than two different runlevels. init runlevels and kernel runlevels are something different. init runlevels have nothing to do with hardware. - Solaris does use runlevels a bit differently, but not vastly different: - on Solaris, run level 2 is for things brought up when we want to play - nice on the network but aren't fully awake. So the clienty things - usually go in rc2.d (such as nfs.client) while the serverish things - (like nfs.server). From 'man init' on Slugaris: - - 2 Put the system in multi-user mode. All multi-user -environment terminal processes and daemons are -spawned. This state is commonly referred to as -the multi-user state. - - 3 Extend multi-user mode by making local resources -available over the network. - - 4 Is available to be defined as an alternative -multi-user environment configuration. It is not -necessary for system operation and is usually not -used. - - Does Solaris really distinguish greatly? Nope... the main difference on - my Suns is that rc3.d has nfs.server in it. I really like this solaris differences and I really use it, especialy at home... runlevel 2 - multiuser without network services (also xinetd sendmail probably sshd etc) - very useful to upgrade, maintain, configure etc system while nothing from outside can disturb you. Many consoles used (I use 8, debian's default is 6) runlevel 1 - running minimum of programs, only onw console etc - for some special actions - fixing, repairing systems, maybe upgrading some exxential packages (although I already upgraded hot system in runlevel 3 with running network services - nothing special happened) - Unlike RH or other popular distributions, Debian does -not- distinguish - between the useful run levels (as opposed to the special ones like - on-the-way-up-or-down ones). Instead, it leaves the choice of the - differences to be up to the local administrator. I think at least the level above should be accepted. Default runlevel after first boot should be 2 (sysadmin should look at everything before connects newly installed machine to the net) and then, if someone decides, change it to 3 where all network services would run. levels 4 and 5 could be left for user to configure; level 0 means halt, level 6 reboot (the fastest way to shutdown/reboot system w/o users is to do init 0 or 6) -- Matus fantomas Uhlar, sysadmin at NEXTRA, Slovakia; IRCNET admin of *.sk [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ ; http://www.nextra.sk/ 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

I'm actually a little confused about what dbs exist, and what is updated when I do an apt-get update. dpkg's database s in /var/lib/dpkg. apt has the package lists in /var/state/apt/lists, and the cache (the binary database packages) in /var/cache/apt. So if you do an apt-get update, only apt's lists are updated (unless you use the dselect apt method, which merges the apt database with dpkg's). With apt-cache you search the binary db of apt. dpkg knows about a package only if the package description is in his available list. Thus if a new package appears in apt's list, apt-cache will know about it, but dpkg won't (unless you install the package). Preben Vim user. No emacs installed. Here here. Vim rocks. Agreed :)

If you're running sawfish then I know it's got its own sound configuration. You can get to it from within GNOME's configuration control panel or from Sawfish's config app. Then there's GNOME's sound configuration, *also* available in the GNOME control panel, which would seem to control sounds for different events.

Does this sound possible, and if so, how do I find out how to do it? No need to define a new runlevel, just use update-rc.d. Debian sets up runlevels 2-5 as identical to each other with the expectation that users who want to use them for process/daemon control will customize the runlevels to their personal taste. (Note: Those Red Hat guys probably told you that the default runlevel is 5, but Debian's default is 2.) Thanks, I'll remember that, but it's moot now, at least for a while. I attempted the upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1, and couldn't get past a circular dependency on libc6 in dselect. I used the Q option to say accept this, continued with the upgrade, and all seemed well. Then, whenever I tried to do anything I get a very ominous response. Take this for example: # ls -l Segmentation fault # shutdown -r now Segmentation fault #CtrlAltDel masses of error messages, interspersed with Segmentation fault errors (rebooted eventually thank goodness, or I wouldn't be in OS/2 now, writing this). So I guess I have no Linux system now. Scratch everything and try again in a month or so. Maybe 2.2 will install OK, but I must admit I'm beginning to doubt it. I've been trying, on and off, to get Linux working for about 5 years, but my 21 years experience in this business just isn't enough. Sometimes I envy all you Linux gurus (=people who have got Linux installed OK) out there, it must be really nice to have cracked the puzzle. Maybe I'll solve it when Linux reaches its 10th birthday, and woody is stable, who knows? I'm not being sarcastic, BTW, just a little frustrated... -- Best regards, Peter Hugosson-Miller

Re: Minimum hardware requirements? Web-based version?
Dawn Miller wrote: I have a client who uses Debian GNU/Linux (versions 2.2.6, 2.2.13, 2.0.18 and 2.1.?) on four of their servers. You are referencing Linux Kernel versions. This is the very core of the system, and can run with very small requirements. The real question is What do you want to do with it?. I have two questions that I am trying to get answered for them, and did not find the info on the Debian web site: 1) What are the minimum hardware requirements for installing Debian GNU/Linux? Will this change for near-future versions (next 18 mos or so)? I have a 486 DX4 100 with 40 MB ram. It is doing this for me: * File serving to Windows (samba) * Web server (developing web sites) * DHCP server (automatic IP assign) * Half Life Server (Yes, you can run a three player game on a 486!) * Email Server (sending [smtp with exim] and receiving [pop3 with qpopper] Soon I will be adding a Fax server and web proxy to that list. With this setup, I still have memory and processor speed left over. Please reply (to the list) and let us know what you want to do with your linux computer. 2) Is there (or will there be) a web-based version of this product available? Debian is the environment surrounding the Linux Kernel. That is like asking if there will be a web based version of windows. Please clarify. Do you man remote configuration? What part do you want to be web based? Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. Dawn Miller Dawn R.

F2 key programming
Hello Thomas, Further to e-mail from Julio Merino on how to make the F2 key emit |more\C-m (i.e. put into ~.inputrc the line\e[[B: |more\C-m ) I found, after much fruitless searching, that my F2 key has the string \eOQ instead attached and F10 has \e[21~ . I found this via a small C-program which I wrote. I now have the two lines in my ~.inputrc \eOQ:|more\C-m \e[21~:ls -l #F10 emits ls-l and all is well! This shows one of the problems with Linux: some necessary information is very hard to find. Ivan
