Varias preguntas
Intento configurar el acceso a Internet desde la Potato y tengo estos problemas: 1.- No me deja mandar ni recibir correo diciendo que el servidor de correo no está disponible o que ha caído(uso netscape 4.71 o 4.75). Sin embargo, las páginas las cargo bien y el correo funciona bien en Bindous .He mirado las faq y dicen que necesito sendmail y nose qué más pero no me entero mucho. 2.- No sé cómo hacer que el modem deje de dar pitidos al marcar ¿falta una cadena de inicialización?¿Cuál?¿Dónde se pone? 3.- En las web como www.amena.com no me salen los cuadros para meter texto (en este caso para los mensajes a móviles). 4.- ¿Qué programa de correo me recomendáis para X? 5.- ¿Hay algún programa de correo que soporte varias cuentas POP e IMAP? 6.- ¿Cómo puedo saber la velocidad a la que estoy conectado? 7.- ¿Cuándo sale el kernel 2.4?¿El año que viene o el siguiente? Gracias por todo y un saludo. CARLOS _ http://www.latinmail.com. Gratuito, latino y en español.
Modulos y sonido
Hola lista. Estoy liado con los el sonido y los modulos y no me aclaro (tengo una yamaha opl3 integrada en la placa). Normalmente lo q hago es recompilar el kernel y le meto el sonido. Mi intencion es ahorrarme el paso de compilar el kernel, metiendo el sonido como modulo (esto me lo confirmaron que se podia hacer con un make modules y make modules_install; pretendo hacerlo en un kernel q no lo he compilado para añadirle la opcion del sonido como modulo, funcionara?). Mis dudas: -Donde esta el codigo de una tarjeta opl3? Como los compilo? (Encontre un opl3.c y al compilarlo me dio nosecuantos errores, sera pq no he añadido al kernel la opcion del sonido como modulo?) -He de añadir mas modulos para q suene esta tarjeta? A ver si alguien tien la misma tarjeta y me echa una mano... Gracias lista Gerard.

Hola, [snip] -- extracto de /etc/modules.conf-- ### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/sb options sb support=1 Esta parte no la entiendo... configurando los modulos a tu manera aqui tengo algo como 'options sb io=0220 dma=1 irq=5...

Paquetes Offix-Files
Siento no recordar la dirección de la persona que tuvo la amabilidad de responder a la cuestión que expuse sobre los offix-files. Con respecto a las pruebas que he efectuado con los paquetes offix de distribuciones debian anteriores a potato es curioso que se encuentren debianizados los siguientes paquetes offix: offix-clipboard, offix- files, offix-trash, offix-editor y offix-execute en bo (con libc5) y en hamm/slink (con libc6), pero en potato no encuentro paquetes offix. Los paquetes offix de hamm y slink se pueden integrar tal cual en potato salvo offix-trash que en principio requiere libg++272_* y libstdc++2.8_*. Creo que es preferible usar versiones anteriores debianizadas a las alienadas. De todos modos creo que es cuestión de costumbre. En cuanto al DND las pocas pruebas que he hecho me llevan a la conclusión de sólo opera con aquellos programas que admite DND. Un saludo.

Uso de modulos
Desde hace mucho tiempo llevo leyendo por internet, mi princial fuente de informacion sobre linux, la maravilla de los modulos. Hasta ah0ora no me había planteado el utilizarlos aunque quizá lo este haciendo sin darme cuenta. Por eso escribo esperando q alguien pued informarme sobre documentacio´n para aprender a utilizarlos no solo tenerlos por ejemplo la carga automatica al requerir servicios como el sonido, la impresión, la disquetera, etc ... .Soy consciente de q esta documentación es muy abundante pero ese es el problema real uno se encuentra con tantas cosas q no sabe que elegir.

Do you know any pointer to chroot()-information that includes some kind of HOWTO rather than a list of advantages of this approach? not to discourage youb ut its pretty well known chroot() is not an ultimate solution for security, it has been in the past rather easy to break out of it, from what i remember you may be better off running freebsd and it's jail() (??) function which is a suped up chroot(). all im trying to say what about OpenBSD (OAMP)? is don't expect chroot() to improve seucrity much, a determined cracker can defeat it(esp on linux) pretty easy. search BUGTRAQ for the discussions on the latest BIND problems(probably about 6 months ago..) interesting discussions. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: [menuconfig] Segmentation fault
to test copy the /boot/config-2.2.17 file to /usr/src/linux/.config (or wherever you put the kernel source) and run make dep ; make clean ; make bzImage I tried a slight variation on this idea. I ran menuconfig again, made a few changes and saved the configuration file before it had time to crash. I then ran /usr/bin/make-kpkg clean...went O.K and then /usr/bin/make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel-image \ 21 | tee ~/kernel-compile.txt and it crashed again. From the file ~/kernel-compile.txt it was clear that there was a 'fatal signal 11' which I understand means that there is some problem with the memory. I suppose that that was the problem all along. Thanks for your assistance. I suppose I'll need some new memory for this computer or maybe I'll try and remove some of it's memory and try to find out which one of the memory modules is at fault.

modconf w/ 2.4 kernel
Hi, I've installed 2.4.0-test11, upgrading all necessary programs, mainly util-linux, modutils and e2fsprogs (apt-get -b source (woody)). After rebooting to load the new kernel, my modules didn't get loaded properly. In fact, even modprobe didn't work. I had to use insmod with each module, guessing the dependencies from the error msgs. Then I upgrade modconf to reconfigure the modules; it fails to detect my modules giving lots of error and then a empty list of available modules. Any hint on how to correct this?

Help Needed ISP/Fetchmail off list...

They now say that everything is working fine yet I can only download between 2-7 mesages before fetchmail hangs or gives me a socket error 2. Now I know the problem is not at this end since it all worked great here before the ISP trouble. But if they say everything is ok at their end, is there anything I can check or change at my end? And is there a way of getting a better idea of what the error is for this group? Until this is fixed I'm off Debian lists and restricted to strictly urgent personal mail. Not a fun time...

X dies immediately after starting
Yesterday I exited X and the next time I tried to restart it, it died without any error messages. I tried switching to a different window manager with update-alternatives, but that made no difference. I am running woody and there have been no X upgrades since the switch to testing, so I am at a loss to figure this out. I use xserver-svga, since my Cirrus card is only partially supported by XFree 4.01. What is really strange about this is that I can run win4lin with the 'fwin' command, indicating that at least part of X is functional. Any ideas?

Dependency problems in testing
I'm now following testing and I had two dependency problems already: * the first one is between libc6 and libnss which is required by the distributed-net package: libc6:2.2-6 libnss1-compat: 2.1.3-13 depends libc6 (= 2.1.3-13) distributed-net: 2.7106-7.1 depends libnss1-compat I guess the reasoning is that non-free software should not hold back free software and who cares about non-free software anyway :-/. Well, I uninstalled distribued-net, I run my prime-net package anyway :-) Still, what is libnss1-compat still doing in testing? One cannot install it anymore since there is no libc6 version 2.1.3 in testing (by extension the same goes for distributed-net). * the other problem leaves me completely lost: I want to try Window Maker, and while I'm at it, it would seem to make sense to also install wmakerconf. But it looks like I cannot do that: wmaker: 0.61.1-4 wmakerconf: 2.4-4 depends wmakerconf-data = 0.61.1 wmakerconf-data: 0.62.0-1 conflicts wmaker 1.0, wmaker 0.62.0 So, can anyone tell me how to install wmakerconf from testing? What is the ifupdown package? On my system ifup and ifdown are part of netbase. Or does this indicate a soon to come split of the netbase package? Also when upgrading locales I did what they said: Ctrl-Z, edit /etc/... and then fg. That really did not work well, after the fg the keyboard input was no longer working. Only Ctrl-C worked (badly of course) and then the display had a case of staircase :-(((. A logout, re-dselect, re-install solved it fortunately (shows the installation process is quite resilient, that's good). -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://fgouget.free.fr/ Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't -- Eric Jong

Running latest Mutt w/o SASL
Hi! I did a dist-upgrade today and among the things I got is a version of Mutt that uses the SASL libraries. I use Mutt to pick up mail from a RedHat 6.2 server running RH's default version of IMAP (UW, IIRC). Now, the problem is that I don't have SASL installed on the RH machine (and don't want to, since I am going to convert it to Debian as soon as possible). The problem is that Mutt only tries SASL authentication, although the docs say that it should fall back to other methods. It's a real pain in the neck: I am back to reading mail with Mozilla and I really miss the threading. Is there a way to tell Mutt to use login authentication? And if not, is there another mail reader with threading and IMAP support? TIA, j

Help installing Debian
Hi, I am trying to install Debian on two workstations. They have Promise Ultra66 cards to which the hard drive is attached. The install kernel does not support these cards, but the (CheapBytes) installation CD has in dists/potato/main/disks-i386/2.2.16-2000-07-14/images-1.44/udma66 a readme which says that this (udma66) directory has a kernel image which contains support for the very Promise Ultra66 cards I'm trying to support. Moreover, there is a ../udma66 directory with a drivers.tgz file. How do I do I get this working? I have unplugged the hard drive cable from the Promise card and plugged it into the primary IDE slot on the motherboard; this enables me to install, however, now Win2K will not boot, so I need to get the card support working somehow. Is there some way I can build in the Ultra66 support while running Linux through the motherboard, turn it off, and reposition the cable, and be happy? Please help, Thanks, Glenn

Making new tasks known to tasksel
Hi folks! Still got another question concerning Debian's package mgmt system: How and when are new task-* packages made available to tasksel? I had the impression that running apt-cdrom add and then running tasksel would be sufficient, and I was quite surprised when I found out that this was obviously NOT the case. So, what's the proper way to ensure that all desired tasks show up when running tasksel? Thanks for your help! Greetings, Holger
Problem with boot
I am running Potato. I have my kernel customised so I can write to my ide cd-rom. I also am running a 45G ide drive. If I install the kernel from the deb file and tell it to make a boot floppy and a lilo image everything works. But if I run lilo or try mkboot that does not work. Can anyone tell me what the difference is and how I can doplicate the job that the deb package does? I hate to re-install my kernel just because I needed to change something in lilo.conf.

kernel is using 50M of memory
Hey, I was looking at the memory usage (gmemusage, and /proc/meminfo), and I was noticing that 'linux' was using nearly 50m of memory. I was rather disturbed, and wondering why Thanks, Cameron Matheson
Re: NE2000 ISA NIC setup
I hope this is not too late. I have several machines running NE2000 ISA cards. To get them to work I had to use DOS to turn off the plug-n-play feature and to assure that each is using a different IRQ and io address. For single NIC machines, I compiled ne into the kernel, making sure that the IO and IRQ parameters matched the card. For the dual card machine, I installed ne as a module. My memory is a little faint on this, but I believe that with two cards using different IRQ's and different IO addresses, the module will automatically start up the two interfaces IF you modify the file /etc/network/interfaces by including stanzas like the following iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.0.0.0 network 10.0.0.0 broadcast 10.255.255.255 # gateway 10.0.0.1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 10.0.0.1 Note that one is open to the outside world and one is for the inner network. -- Arthur H.

Um, /proc/meminfo doesn't say how much the kernel is using (well, not
directly, anyway -- you can derive it by subtracting how much RAM is in
your system from the 'MemTotal' portion).
Why do you think it's using 50M? Sure -you- aren't using it?

Help Me Get Back on List-ISP trouble
Hi, Posting again, but with a little more info. First to bring everything up to date... My ISP ran into problems last week and I couldn't download more than one or two messages without Fetchmail hanging. I logged in to my ISP web page and they had a notice about this so I changed none of my settings but waited them out. They now say that everything is working fine yet I can only download between 2-7 mesages before fetchmail hangs or gives me a socket error 2. Now I know the problem is not at this end since it all worked great here before the ISP trouble. But if they say everything is ok at their end, is there anything I can check or change at my end? And is there a way of getting a better idea of what the error is for this group? Until it works, I'm off the list since I have to restrict my mesages to the very minimum. Netscape and the web all works ok. Sending mail works ok as well. I. I type pon. 2. Once logged in, I type fetchmail Attempt 1: reading message 1 of 4.. flushed fetchmail: socket eror while fetching from pop.wanadoo.fr fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) Attempt 2: It hangs after I type fetchmail.

I is not uncommon for 50M of RAM being used at any particular time, especially

you are running X. The fact that you say the kernel is using that much memory
is,
crazy. Only Microsoft could do that.

Re: Problem with boot
What I am talking about is I built the kernel using make-kpkg kernel_image and that creates a deb file for me to install. The problem is that the lilo utility at the command prompt does not install right and the mkboot command from the command prompt does not make a bootable system for me but the programs that are used when you install the deb file that the above command makes works with no trouble. I would just like to know the commands that it uses so I can use it to do the changes when I make them instead of using the lilo or mkboot commands. I also wanted to point this problem out so we can get it fixed in the next reliese.

Now that woody is in the testing stage, many of the packages on my system are newer versions than currently reside in woody. As some of the newer packages on my system are broken, I would like to roll back to the current woody snapshot. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks, Gerry

If I remember right (from the last troubles I had, when I read the fine manuals), that's something optional, which you can turn on or off in fetchmail; I think it's used to manage the header lists without retrieving actually all messages. Try having a deeper look at man fetchmail; I could bet I read it there. Try to turn that feature off, maybe it'll work then. But of course, I have bad bio-RAM, so possibly I'm wrong. Anyway; note that Ok, I'm clutching at straws here. I assume since the ISP says everyone else is fine and I changed nothing here that they changed something which didn't affect most users, therefore Windows/Mac. fetchmail: not swapping UID lists, no UIDs seen this query fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) comes neither from SMTP nor from POP3, so it must come from fetchmail itself. The following QUIT line is possibly there because SMTP was executed in background, and happend to terminate then. I would say that it is unrelated.

cdrom issue
Hello, I got Unreal Tournament for xmas and am now trying to install it, but the installer is not working happily with my cdrom (generic ATAPI). I have gotten it to work successful on my lady's potato distro, and I am running potato as well. The problem seems to be that it is not identifying the disk label (?) properly. Does anyone know if this is likely a hardare issue, driver issue, or config issue? thanks, rick -- A picture is worth about 25000 characters. Any more and it takes too long to download.
Re: Problem with boot

The problem is that the lilo utility at the command prompt does not install right and the mkboot command from the command prompt does not make a bootable system for me but the programs that are used when you install the deb file that the above command makes works with no trouble. I would just like to know the commands that it uses so I can use it to do the changes when I make them instead of using the lilo or mkboot commands. I also wanted to point this problem out so we can get it fixed in the next reliese. I's assuming you changed your /etc/lilo.conf file to reflect the kernel change and then ran /sbin/lilo. If so what is the error message you get when running /sbin/lilo? What commands are you talking about when you say install the deb file?
