Saludos Debianitas... mi consulta es la siguiente,en que directorio de potato me conviene instalar los programas que bajo de la red, en este caso seria el programa spylheed en formato tar.gz. Saludos... Juan Ortiz
Compilacion del nucleo 2.4.6
Hola a todos... Estoy tratando de compilar el nucleo version 2.4.6, pero obtengo un mensaje de error, relativo a la generacion de codigo en net/core/dev.c, que no entiendo porque sucede. He visto que durante la compilacion, se establece la opcion -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2. ¿Puede ser por esto? Saludos a todos.
Re: Directorios en Potato.
¿en que directorio de potato me conviene instalar los programas que bajo de la red?, en este caso seria el programa spylheed en formato tar.gz. Si ese tar.gz contiene los ejecutables y ya tiene cada cosa en su sitio, lo que yo haría sería convertirlo con alien e instalarlo con dpkg -i.

Problemas con wine
Hola, estoy intentando probar el wine, que me han dicho que va bastante bien, pero al intentar ejecutar un programa me dice que no encuentra mi distribucion de teclado, y que lea documentation/keyboard (leido) y lo configure en el archivo que hay en 'windows/x11drv/keyboard.c'; lo que pasa es que no se donde esta el archivo este!! En donde esta esto guardado en Debian, o que otros archivos debo editar...? En fin, muchas gracias por adelantado --
Re: ipnatctl
Según creo ipnatctl se usaba con el kernel 2.3, para el 2.4 ha sido sustituido por el iptables. Sin embargo, el paquete iptables solo viene con la distribución woody (testing). Tendrías que usar ipchains e ipmasq o actualizar a woody. Que alguien confirme lo que estoy diciendo.

Postfix no recibe correo
Hola!!! Tengo un problema con postfix en una potato. Hago pruebas de correo del tipo enviar mensaje a [EMAIL PROTECTED] El problema es que esto sólo va bien si el envío lo hago desde mi propia máquina. Si envio el correo desde la página de yahoo por ejemplo, recibo un mail de rechazo. En mynetworks tengo la ip de mi servidor, que en principio debería ser suficiente. Alguna idea? Gracias!!!

Hola, te remito a esta dirección www.redhat.com/support/docs/howto/RH-postfix-HOWTO/book1.html a mi me ayudó a configurarlo en una potato y en una sid y los principales problemas eran al definir myorigin y mydestination. Sobre lo de mynetworks si tienes IP dinámica deberías dejarlo solo con 127.0.0.1 (y las IP's de tu red local si tienes alguna) debería bastar aunque no estoy seguro. Un saludo, Manuel.

Fabian: ¿hay otro método mejor que se utilice comúnmente para compartir recursos? Bueno, también está el samba, que puedes usar tanto si tienes máquinas con Windows como si no. Si es mejor o peor no sé.

Estou para tentar instalar o Debian novamente. Já tentei uma vez mas tive vários problemas, conforme abaixo: 1 - Onde encontrar um manual completo, em português, de instalação do Debian. 2 - Tive muita dificuldade para entender o funcionamento do dselect, fiz uma instalação ruim e não consegui depois instalar os pacotes que faltavam. Alguém conhece um manual detalhado do funcionamento do dselect, em português, pois não manjo nada de inglês. 3 - Instalado o Debian, como faço para baixar algum programa e instalá-lo. Sei que pelo apt-get consigo fazer isso, mas que parâmetro eu tenho que dar para baixar um determinado programa satisfazendo as dependências. Por exemplo, vamos dizer que quero baixar o WindowMaker 0.65 e quero que ao baixar, venham as bibliotecas necessárias para o seu funcionamento. Espero que possam me ajudar nestas dúvidas.

Hi Tao, You can shut it down with '/etc/init.d/zope stop' and to keep it from starting again during bootup you can use the update-rc.d command like so 'update-rc.d -f zope remove'. You might want to check out the man page for that command.

Freeing up lost memory
Hi gang, I foolishly left Opera 5 overnight last night. It seems that it leaks memory like a sieve, as when I woke up this morning, I had only about 50M of my 512M of RAM free. This is after a reboot last night (installed 2.4.7-ac2), which pretty much nothing else running. Anyway, I'm wondering if there is any way to get the RAM back without a reboot. While a reboot wouldn't kill me, know if it's possible may be able to help me (or someone else) in the future. I tried shutting pretty much everything down, and it didn't seem to help significantly. Even resorting to telinit 1, which left only the following processes running: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.0 0.0 1252 456 ?SJul28 0:04 init [ root 2 0.0 0.0 00 ?ZJul28 0:00 [kpnpbios defunct] root 3 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Jul28 0:00 [keventd] root 4 0.0 0.0 00 ?SWN Jul28 0:00 [ksoftirqd_CPU0] root 5 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Jul28 0:02 [kswapd] root 6 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Jul28 0:00 [kreclaimd] root 7 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Jul28 0:00 [bdflush] root 8 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Jul28 0:04 [kupdated] root 9 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Jul28 0:00 [scsi_eh_0] root10 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Jul28 0:00 [kreiserfsd] root 17557 0.0 0.0 1252 472 tty1 S16:36 0:00 init [ root 17558 0.0 0.2 2368 1436 tty1 S16:36 0:00 bash root 17571 0.0 0.2 3272 1468 tty1 R16:37 0:00 ps auxw But still, all my precious RAM is nowhere to be seen: total used free sharedbuffers cached Mem:513464 359332 154132 0 6332 131384 -/+ buffers/cache: 221616 291848 Swap: 264996 5192 259804 Now, maybe this is something not worth worring about, but I really am curious as to where it's all going. cheers, damon PS.

Only binaries?
Hello All, I am very new to the debian distribution. I have bought the Debian 2.2 distribution which contains three CDs. When I read the README.html file of all the three CDs it says that each of them is labeled as Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r0 Potato - Official i386 Binary-1 Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r0 Potato - Official i386 Binary-2 Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r0 Potato - Official i386 Binary-3 Does this mean that only binaries are distributed in the CDs? I was looking for the kernel sources and its not available in /usr/src. When I looked in the CDs I felt like a person lost in some maze. BTW, what does this Potato signify? Is it like each distribution release will have such a name and that saying Potato release will mean 2.2 r0? Or is there any other significance for this? Thank you all for your time. Cheers, anna

Hardware OpenGL not working in full screen
Hi folks, It's seems that ever since I did my last dist-upgrade on testing, I've got something weird happening with my hardware graphics rendering. I'm running a 32M Matrox G450 (with X 4.03, I think - whatever's in testing at the moment), and usually the gl screensavers (the only programs I think I have which do hardware gl) look fantasic and smooth. Since I've done my last upgrade, however, they don't. It seems to be doing software rendering - they aren't nearly as smooth and they use well over two thirds of the CPU. Interestingly, however, X seems to report that DRI/DRM is enabled and working (both from xdpyinfo and /var/log/XFree86.log). When running the xscreensaver-gl hacks manually, they work fine. For example running pulsar, I get between 60 and 90 fps both as a window, and running on the root window. Running it from xscreensaver-demo gives me less than 10fps. I checked bugs.debian.org, and there doesn't seem to be any bugs filed against xscreensaver-gl (or xscreensaver), so I'm wondering if I'm the only one seeing this, or if it's just xscreensaver-gl specific. FWIW, Quake3 still runs fantastically, and is obviously using hardware 3d. If there any other simple, full-screen gl programs that I might be able to use to test? cheers, damon -- Damon Muller :: Department of Criminology :: University of Melbourne I shall despair.

Try other distro until WOODY is released. Lern Linux first if this can not be solved easily. (I bet it can be solved but it is not trivial for first install experience.)

RE: fixed frequency monitors
On 29-Jul-01 Sam Varghese wrote: i managed to get two 20 monitors today - but both are fixed frequency. does anyone have any experience in getting a monitor of this kind to work with linux? I've done this with Hewlett Packard A1079C monitors. These have a 3-line input with separate cables for Red, Green and Blue, the synchronisation signal goes on the Green channel, and the resolution is fixed at 1280x1024. In this case the main issue is coping with the sync-on-green. The only way I found was to install a Matrox Millennium board (though maybe there are others that support sync-on-green, but I haven't found them). Then you have to edit your XF86Config file so as to a) Get the monitor frequency, etc., right; b) Ensure that the device section has the sync-on-green option set. In the case of the HP A1079C and the Millennium (4MB) board, the relevant sections of XF86Config are: Section Monitor Identifier HP 1280x1024-72Hz VendorName Hewlett-Packard ModelName A1097A BandWidth 135 HorizSync 78.125 VertRefresh 72.008 Mode 1280x1024 DotClock 135.00 HTimings 1280 1344 1536 1728 VTimings 1024 1027 1030 1085 EndMode EndSection Section Device Identifier Matrox Millennium VendorName Matrox BoardName MGA Option sync_on_green EndSection Section Screen Driver svga Device Matrox Millennium Monitor HP 1280x1024-72Hz Subsection Display Depth 24 Modes 1280x1024 ViewPort0 0 EndSubsection EndSection That's all that's needed, and I find it works fine in X (those ancient monitors have a great display: sharp, undistorted, steady, good colours, and lots of pixels). If your monitor is not the same, you will have to find the right settings for the Section Monitor -- these are fairly critical. And if the resolution is different, you will have to also change Section Screen. You may well be able to locate the appropriate parameters by doing a Web search on monitor make/model plus linux. For instance, I got a lot of useful stuff with a Google search on HP-A1079C AND linux You may even find suitable settings tucked away in the monitors database in XFree86, which in my case was in the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/Monitors where you find #Date: Fri, 16 Sep 1994 23:16:32 -0700 #From: Leonard N.

However, it won't work in text mode since it's not getting the sync-on-green (which isn't started up until X starts). All I get in text mode is shimmering horizontal lines, and I suspect one is stuck with that in Linux (though I believe there are drivers, but not for Linux, which can set the sync-on-green for all modes). So in that case I either boot up with the monitor switched off, start X blind, and then switch it on; or I can telnet in from another machine. Possibly some other card may allow sync-on-green to be set by jumpers. The other thing to bear in mind is that the Apple Mac monitor works exactly the same (sync-on-green), but you can buy PC-Mac adapters (plug the adapter into the PC video port, and then the monitor cable into the adapter) which route the PC sync output onto the Mac green line, and then it should work in all modes. Could be worth a try for your monitor. Hoping this helps, Ted. E-Mail: (Ted Harding) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 167 1972 Date: 29-Jul-01 Time: 11:02:48 -- XFMail --

There seems to be something inherantly broken about the kernel-image-2.2.19pre17 and kernel-image-2.2.19 on Debian 2.2r3 I can't comment on the kernel-image-* packages as I've never used kernel images for anything but the basic install. I have been succesfully running various kernel releases from 2.2.9 through 2.2.19 with my ISDN card (switched to DSL now, but it's still working), all built from kernel-source-* debs. ISDN support was flaky very early in the 2.2.x cycle, but that's not a Debian issue. Can't help with the certificate, although I'm getting the same message with kernel 2.2.19 and an Elsa card. I believe that this is a legal issue, though, and that it won't affect the driver's functionality. I think this is again something to do with the broken nature of the kernel in Debian 2.2r3. I have got the Debian source for 2.2.19, and also the source from the kernel project, and I will compare them next week if I can find the time to compare and compile both sources. This has been the first time in many years of using Debian that I have found a fundamental instability in a stable release. I recommend building 2.2.19 from a kernel-source-* deb, that works fine for me. [...] For the time being I have got the ISDN firewall router running properly on kernel 2.2.17 which I know from past experience is a very stable kernel. I am also quickly changing the default kernel on this workstation to use 2.2.17 until I can figure out what is wrong with 2.2.19 and 2.2.19pre17. Now of course I am going to have to learn how to submit a Debian bug report, because this is the first time I have needed to, and I have been using Debian since version 1 (I was using Slackware before that). It's straightforward, just see http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ and follow the instructions. I might try 2.4.7 on the workstation, and leave 2.2.17 on the firewall router. I don't want 2.4.x on the firewall because I have a good set of ipchains definitions for that machine, and I don't want to mess around converting it all to iptables until I have some free time to learn the new system. The late 2.2.x kernels have been very stable for me. I'd recommend sticking with that and give 2.4.x some more time. -- Philipp Lehman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Maestro3 Won't Work
Deven, I've compiled a new kernel with support for the Maestro3 .. I turned that on, turned off all other sound cards, and turned ON Sound card support, but my system doesn't find anything at boot related to sound. I can't run ESD (it tells me there's no /dev/dsp.) I know I have a Maestro because when I originally installed Debian, I chose Maestro3 as a driver and it worked fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Which kernel version? And did you compile the Maestro3 driver as a module or build it into the kernel? Chris -- Christopher S.

fail updating kernel to 2.4.5
Hello all, I attempted to use deselect to update kernel from 2.2.19 to 2.4.5,but failed. As rebooting,the last four rows of error messages are: request_module[block-major-3]:Root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device hda16 or 03:10 Please append a correct root= boot option kernel panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on 03:10 The system can boot with vmlinuz.old With dselect ,I had successed updating kernel from 2.2.17 to 2.2.18 and 2.2.19 before. Why failed 2.4.5 this time? -- Best regards, fg mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Kernel compile error?
Debian users -- Last night I tried to recompile a 2.4.1 kernel with make-kpkg, and got the following errors: gcc -E -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__BIG_KERNEL__ -traditional -DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA bootsect.S -o bbootsect.s as -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s bbootsect.s: Assembler messages: bbootsect.s:253: Warning: indirect lcall without `*' ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x0 -s -oformat binary bbootsect.o -o bbootsect ld: cannot open binary: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [bbootsect] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot' make[1]: *** [bzImage] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux' make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2 It looks like the problem is the 'ld' step, where it uses '-oformat binary' instead of '--oformat binary'. I edited the Makefile in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot, and it worked. Is this a bug with the 2.4.1 kernel Makefile, or has 'ld' changed very recently in it's behavior? The system was upgraded to the latest sid on Thursday or Friday. Here's some version info: ii libc6 2.2.3-7GNU C Library: Shared libraries and ii gcc2.95.4-5 The GNU C compiler. ii binutils 2.11.90.0.24-1 The GNU assembler, linker and binary ii bin86 0.15.4-1 16-bit assembler and loader ii kernel-package 7.54 Debian Linux kernel package build ii make 3.79.1-8 The GNU version of the make utility.

Eh - no - the erasure on my laptop occured when I booted into windows, so there was no synchronising at that point. Besides I don't synchronise in real time, but rather use unison to rsync between my laptop and my desktops at home and at work. (hence the two copies) - I had synchronised before rebooting the laptop into windows - if you lost your files/data on the master... it wasn't mirrored/synchronized to the other set hummm - curious to see how/why you lost the data/files in the first place - it should have erased it on the other set too depending on failure mode As I explained in response to another poster, the problem occurred with windows overwriting the partition table in an extended partition. The data I had was the second partition in the extended partition and was totally unaffected except that I had to 'find' it again which I did using gpart. Having found the correct position of the partition I discovered it was totally unaffected. Thankfully - but as I said I wasnt overly worried about the data, just annoyed about the whole affair. ... - automated backup... - use cron... - free backup scripts... http://www.Linux-Backup.net/app.gwif.html Thanks, I'll look at these On Fri, 27 Jul 2001, Paul Mackinney wrote: Cormac McGuinness muttered: All my files/data were gone (I had two synchronised copies though, so I wasnt really worried :) )

Amongst its many uses, system and data recovery are probably two of the most common.
Re: ext2 - reiserfs

Try ext3 - the only thing you have to change is - patch the kernel: http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ext3-usage.html (2.4.x) or ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/sct/ext3/ (2.2.x) - change ext2 to ext3 in /etc/fstab - create the journal file (with newer tune2fs, e2progs from woody should be sufficient) Anyone with opinions on ext3 vs reiserfs, IBM's journaling fs, or others ?? This one sounds the easiest... Also, how soon might this be implemented in Linus' kernel instead of requiring a patch ?? I'll check Alan Cox's AC to see if he includes it already. Hall
Re: ext2 - reiserfs
hi all well, if ur not keen of the COOL debian .. the latest versions of mandrake already have reiserfs... i did switch to resiserfs some time back but then i am having some problems with some features the existing applications have thats only for ext2.. like midnight commander (mc) now having support for undeleting files on resierfs..its just on ext2. ajay PS : me new to debian world :) * Eduard Bloch ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [010729 10:35]: does anyone know an easy way of converting a ext2 partition to resierfs and is it worth it ?
