Alguien sabe si el chipset AMD 761 tiene algun driver para linux. Yo probe con la opcion de amd irongate (o algo asi) y no me lo toma busque en google y no lo pude encontrar, y sin esto no tengo 3D en la maquina. Gracias de antemano y saludos.
Archivos de configuracion DHCP ?
Me gustaria saber cuales son todos los archivos que se utilizan para hacer la conexion mediante tarjeta de red y un modem cable. Tengo un Linux Mandrake el cual se configuro solito y muy bien, y me gustaria rescatarlos para usarlos con Debian :). He pensado tambien tomar el XF96Config y el GRUB ¿alguna idea mas sobre la configuracion de Linux?, sobre la configuracion de programas y utilidades ya tengo lo necesario. Gracias ___ Do You Yahoo!?

Primeros pasos en programacion en C :consejos
Saludos Debianitas!!! Pues eso mismo que indica el subject estoy enpezando mis primeras practicas en C en la universidad y me dije por que no aprovechar a Debian para esto? Por supuesto los primeros ejercicios son sencillos ya que no tendremos programacion visual,pero mi gran problema se plantea al desconocer el entorno de programacion en C de Debian ,por lo tanto no se por donde comenzar,bueno se que por el principio,pero cual es este? :)) El asunto es que he visto que potato trae varios editores,cual de ellos servira para prgramar en C?,o cual sera el mejor?otra duda es que por ejemplo el kde trae un ide completo, trae Debian algo parecido?,o me vere obligado a usar un editor por separado y el compilador por el otro,etc? He instalado el paquete completo de programacion en C de mi potato pero realmente no lo comprendo,me ha instalado un tal autoproject (que es?),un Data Display debugger,pero de igual forma sigo perdido... Los saluda.. Juan ortiz

how can i copy my pkg choices to another machine?
Hi, guys... I've been running debian for years, but only on a couple machines until recently. Now, I'm setting up a new machine to replace one of my other machines and wanted to clone the choices for packages to have installed and then have apt-get get everything downloaded and installed for me the way I have it on the other machine. I've found some files under /var/lib/dpkg that contain status of packages, but I don't think I'm fully on the right track. I've used both dselect and apt-get and am leaning towards using apt-get for all my package needs these days. Any advice on how I can do this would be great, as it would be a pain to go through the packages one-by-one and flag them (in dselect)... :) Thanks! -Chris

Mozilla: configure menu fonts?
I've updated to a recent Mozilla under Woody/testing:
Version: 2:0.9.3-1
Problem: the menu fonts are all rather larger than I'd like -- appear
to be Helvetica or Arial, roughly 16 points. I prefer fixed fonts for
all menus, at about 10 points.
Following comments found through Google, I've tried to change this with
the following ~/.mozilla/karsten/nvfg3wpx.slt/chrome/user.css file:
menubar {
font-family: fixed !important;
font-style: regular !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
font-size: 3mm !important;
}
...but this doesn't change appearances.
Thoughts?
TIA.

how to copy package choices from one machine to another
ok, since I like to share what I find... Here's how I cloned the package settings on one host to another. The hosts are going to be listed below as original and clone for clarity. :) 0. on both hosts, did apt-get update to update the package lists 1. Made a comprehensive package list on the original host: dpkg --get-selections * package-list.out 2. scp'd the list from the orignal host to the clone host 2. On the clone: cat package-list.out | dpkg --set-selections 3. Then used apt to download and configure: apt-get dselect-upgrade (since the flags are set in dselect) Now that I think about it, I probably should have made sure that I also updated the package lists in dselect (probaby already did but it should be a step above before step 1). The packages are being downloaded now, and once things are installed and configured, I'll post any problem I ran into with this setup. Since I have no data on this new machine, yet, I'm willing to do a little potentially risky stuff like this... :) -Chris Chris Palmer wrote Thanks again, Sebastiaan for the pointer in the right direction. :) -Chris Chris Palmer wrote Yes, from checking out the man page, that looks like it might do exactly what I want.

best practice for tar and gzip?
Hi, I have a lot of important archives, up to 10,000 files per ~10 Meg tar.gz tarball, that I like to keep as safe as possible. I test the archives when I create them, have backups, and off-site backups of backups, but I am worried about possible file corruption, ie propagating possibly corrupt files through the backup rotation. Would it not be better to compress the files individually first and then tar them into an archive instead of the normal tar.gz operation, to have the best chance of recovering as many files as possible? thx, patrick. __ Do You Yahoo!?

I suppose with some clever trickery in the .Xdefaults file or so, that it may be possible to instruct Mozilla to use your 75 dpi fonts, whereas everything else can make use of the 100 dpi fonts.

The best would be not to pack the files at all. The better alternative would be to pack the files individually and then tar them, as you said. And, as you already are aware of, if you gzip the tarred file, you risk loosing most of the files in the archive. It depends on how big your files are. If all of them are 100bytes big, you will not gain as much gzipping 1000 of them, as you would with gzipping the 100*1000 tar-file. If you MUST gzip them, and HAVE to gzip the tar-archive because of size-issues, make sure you always test the tar-file after the copying, and every once in a while for medium errors. It seemed like you had several copies of the tar-files too, so if one of them would get a error, you can copy it from the other location. The testing can be done with MD5, I suppose, to save processing power, instead of 'tar tzf'. Sorry if I did not help that much, just repeating your questions as answers. :) //Fredde

Explore an alternative file format. afio, cpio, and pax are all somewhat intended to superscede tar (none has the ubiquity of tar, however). Among their benefits, compression is applied to individual files within the archive, and recovery from fuxnored archives is supposed to be much better -- that is, if your archive file is botched in one spot, most of the other data should be recoverable. The tar format doesn't support this nearly as well. Your best bet is multiple, redundant, backups, with full verification.

I reinstalled, then installed an improved firewall before bringing the system back up on the net and doing 'apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade'. During the dist-upgrade process, I received a message on the root terminal saying something like 'su session opened for user man'. That's normal; the installation process did that in earlier versions of man-db (e.g. the one you have in stable). These days it uses start-stop-daemon to avoid the syslog entry. I didn't know whether this was relevant, but noted it in case it had something to do with the man-db exploit, for which there was a fix released on 12 June.

As an ordinary user, a simple man command brings up something like the following: Reformatting mpage(1), please wait... man: can't create /var/cache/man/fsstnd/cat1/393: Permission denied zsoelim: /tmp/zmanp6L0Cn: No such file or directory man: can't unlink /var/cache/man/fsstnd/cat1/393: No such file or directory man: can't remove /tmp/zmanp6L0Cn: No such file or directory I'd expect that after following the above advice. 'suidunregister /usr/lib/man-db/man; suidunregister /usr/lib/man-db/mandb' should fix it. I purged and reinstalled the packages mandb, manpages, and manpages-dev, with no luck. I found a file in /tmp named zmanX, where 'X' was a random string. When I tried to delete or view this file, I couldn't, because its name would change as I was trying to do so, to zmanY, where 'Y' was another random string. Probably while you were viewing man pages? Don't worry, those are just temporary files created normally by man. Sometimes they used to get left around due to bugs (maybe still do, I'll squash that bug if I see it). Any recommendations on getting man working on my system again are welcome. Be very explicit, however, as I can't use man pages to clarify any help that is cryptic. Moreover, does it seem that my man-db has been cracked? Not to me, although I appreciate that that kind of thing is on your mind. If you still have problems after restoring setuid permissions to man-db, feel free to mail me privately. In that case, you can still read man pages with something like 'zcat /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz | man -l -'. As for your problems before you reinstalled - hard to tell, but it could just have been a bug, or maybe whoever cracked your system changed the permissions of some directories.

I have used several combinations in the above config file including
setting the hostname and domain names separately.
I don't find an error message from dhclient; however, the hostname
assigned by DNS, i.e., from nslookup on the ip address, is not
`peregrine' but some combination of letter, numbers and dashes.
I was under the impression that the 'host-name' option to DHCP was just
used to look up your machine in the DHCP server's database, and that you
needed to get whoever runs your DNS server to give you the reverse DNS
you want too. I don't think you can just send a host name over DHCP and
expect it to work.

First try:
apt-get -f install
Perhaps the installation will go on. Else, download the package from the
internet (should be in debian/pool/main/e/exim/) and install it by hand:
dpkg -i exim_3.22-4.deb
Alternatively, you can choose for another mailler:
apt-get install postfix
This will deselect exim an d choose postfix as your mailer daemon.
You have to continue the install anyway with 'apt-get -f install'

If the file is corrupt, is probably consequence of a scratch on the
CD' surface. Using other MTA, or downloading exim from the Internet
will solve the issue with this package, but the CD may have other
(even non-replaceable ones) corrupted files. In that case, get another
CD, or install from the Net.

Re: Mozilla: configure menu fonts?
* John Toon ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [010812 06:24]: I bet you've got the 100 dpi X fonts installed, correct? Install and use the 75dpi fonts instead, then you'll get them a nice size. I myself originally thought that 100 dpi fonts would be better for my 19 running at 1600x1200, but changed to 75 dpi because everything was too large. I ran into a similar thing with the 100dpi and 75dpi fonts... I'm not sure what changed, but I fixed it by simply *removing* the 100dpi font package. Did the /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc file change to specify 100dpi whereas it used to spec 75 ?? Even the 100dpi package says this: This package and xfonts-75dpi provide the same set of fonts, rendered at different resolutions; only one or the other is necessary, but both may be installed. xfonts-100dpi may be more suitable for large monitors and/or large screen resolutions (over 1024x768). Isn't it actually the opposite ?? If you're running at 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 or higher, you want more space for stuff. You don't want big-a** fonts taking up valuable screen space. Regards Hall

Re: Mozilla: configure menu fonts?
Hall Stevenson wrote: Isn't it actually the opposite ?? The docs are correct. For any given monitor size, the higher your resolution, the higher your dpi. If you're running at 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 or higher, you want more space for stuff. You don't want big-a** fonts taking up valuable screen space. That's an incorrect assumption. Some people want higher resolution to have more detail on the same stuff -- they want their fonts rendered better, not smaller. These are the people who will care about having their dpi set correctly. On my setup, I actually have just under 100 dpi -- I can verify this by drawing a line 500 pixels long and holding a physical ruler up to the screen, and seeing that the 500 pixel line is just a bit over 5 inches long. This equivalence is rather obviously useful for graphic design work, where you want what you see on the screen to match the printed output as closely as possible. (In the Gimp's preferences dialog, there's a dpi calibrator that you can use to see what your display's dpi actually is.) Even given your assumption that higher resolution == more stuff, your statement still doesn't make any sense to me. Why would someone running at a low resolution (say, 800x600 on a 17 monitor) want 100 dpi fonts? They'd be huge! So it seems to me that your point of view, based solely on an attitude of how much stuff can I cram onto the screen at once, is that one should always use 75 dpi fonts. Which is fine if that's what matters to you. But if that were everyone's view, the 100 dpi fonts probably wouldn't even exist; if nobody cares about matching the display's metrics to that of the printed page, we might as well throw out the whole pretense of measuring fonts in points, and just count pixels instead.

No expert on NLS but I have it working so I'll try to help ---snip Ok it took awhile for me to get and reply to this message because fetchmail went out on me. I think it is related to the nfs-server packages I installed, in particular 'bwnfsd'. First the command: $ fetchmail -v -v -L mytestlogfile produces nothing. No data what so ever to look at. So trying to remove fetchmail via 'apt-get remove' 'depkg --purge' and trying to reinstall produces errors that are reliant on bwnfsd. Then trying to remove and reinstall bwnfsd all produces the same error, which is: -- Starting BWNFS daemon: rpc: RPC: Timed out dpkg: error processing bwnfsd (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255 Errors were encountered while processing: bwnfsd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) why it wants to start the BWNFS daemon when I want to remove bwnfsd and remove fetchmail I've not a clue. Searching I was able to find an email with the same problem at: http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-0103/msg00039.html but cannot find a follow up to it. I'm now tying to get in the post-installation script and see if I can figure out error 255 and or logs but I am clumsy at this. Any help on how to diagnos this? Much thanks in advance.

Re: best practice for tar and gzip?

I test the archives when I create them, have backups, and off-site backups of backups, but I am worried about possible file corruption, ie propagating possibly corrupt files through the backup rotation. Would it not be better to compress the files individually first and then tar them into an archive instead of the normal tar.gz operation, to have the best chance of recovering as many files as possible? Compress files individually. Afio does this, and it is the basis for the tob (Tape Oriented Backup) utility. The following command should give you a place to start: afio -Zvo -b 10k backup device filelist See the man pages for further info. You can tar these all together once compressed. The problem with tar is that if there is an error in a tar archive, everything beyond that point is lost. Paul

can't start sshd
Hi All,
For some reason, I am unable to start sshd. I have combed thhrough many
web pages and the archive, but did not find anything that sounded like
my specific problem. I even resorted to a fresh install of the most
recent version of ssh in unstable, but to no avail.
When I run /etc/init.d/ssh restart, I do not get any error messages, but
it does not start. When I do an ls on /var/run, there is no sshd.pid.
I am not entirely sure what I should check.
When I run sshd -d, I get the following output:
debug1: Seeding random number generator
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_2.9p2
debug1: private host key: #0 type 0 RSA1
debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA

path to image magick?
Hello everyone, I'm new to the list and I'm starting off with a quick question. My web host (www.f2s.com) runs Debian Linux as their main operating system. It is my understanding that image magick is included as one of the graphics packages. I'd like to be able to use image magick because I have a photo gallery on my site which utilizes thumbnails. I figure I could use the convert utility within image magick to do some automatic thumbnail generation. My problem is, I have no clue as to what the path to image magick is... I'm assuming there is a default path, and I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to what that default path might be?

Re: Dysfunctional ne (RTL8019AS)
Thanks for your replies... I set PNP OS back to No in the BIOS (setting it to Yes was what seemed to fix the problem last time, weird...), then I reserved IRQ's 3 and 4 for serial, 5 for my NE2K, 12 for PS/2 mouse (when I get round to fixing that one again), and booted GNU/Linux again. The RTL shifted from IRQ 12 to 11, and the NE appears to work fine on IRQ 5. I guess the BIOS just configured the network card better than it was configured when it left it for GNU/Linux. Makes sense.

Sometimes is hangs at the line cramfs: wrong magic When I boot with my 2.2.19 kernel, partition check reports: hda: [EZD] [remap 0-1] [700/255/63] hda1 hda2 hda5 hdb: hdb1 hdb2 hdb3 hdb4 hdb5 hdb6 hdb7 Is it normal for a 2.4.x kernels to report partitions as p1, p2, etc. vice hda1, hda2, hdb1, etc? What does cramfs: wrong magic mean, and does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this problem?

What are the sql syntax between Microsoft's and other? Are there? I know mysql doesn't support transactions, so maybe postgresql is the only option that I have since it is a standard sql database, is mssql one? Any help would be greatly appreciated. mysql supports transactions with BerkelyDB(since May 2000), InnoDB and Gemini table types, so you can keep this option open (infos on transactions with mysql appeared in Linux Magazine 08/2001 in an article by Michael Kofler (the issue infos pertain to the german release, so it could be different in the english version (i.e.different month ). As to mssql conversion programs, I would check out sourceforge.net, freshmeat.net and the respective webpages ( a.e. www.mysql.org or www.postgresql.org.) for the easiest solution. Cheers.

Re: HELP broken dpkg ( previously HELP - installing broken libglib1.2-dev)
[cruft deleted] Ouch. I've never had to deal with a system as loused up as that one. But perhaps it can be solved with a: dpkg --force-all -P libglib-dev (libglib1.2-dev libgtk1.2-dev libgtk-dev) Hopefully this will clean out the system making way for a fresh install of everything for glib1.2 and gtk1.2 Let the list know if this still doesn't work. Maybe someone who has solved this problem will also come across the thread. --mike On 10 Aug 2001 11:31:35 -0700, Jatin Golani wrote: Hi Michael, Thanks for responding.

Bye --- Michael Heldebrant [more cruft] I've got an idea, but it's a bit ugly and probably should only be used as a last resort. (Unfortunately you appear to be getting to that point...) First, do : dpkg -L pkgname and remove (by hand, or with a script if you're feeling a bit brave :) the files it lists, for each of the broken packages. Then : echo pkgname purge | dpkg --set-selections to get it out of dpkg's database. Of course, you might want to wait a bit so anybody else can figure out something better, or say why this is a bad idea... Anyway, I *think* that much of dpkg will work, even with the broken packages.

More clear ipmasquerade standard still having problems. (fwd)
IP masquerade is not working for me : Just some new info in order to be more clear: From the IP-Masquerade Howto: 7.15. IP Masquerading seems slow There might be a few reasons for this: B7 Make sure you don't have both your INTERNAL and EXTERNAL networks running on the same network card with the IP Alias feature. If you ARE doing this, it is highly recommended to get another network card so that the internal and external networks have their own interface. * this is not my case.. I have a network link and a ppp link two interfaces --- B7 If you have an external modem, make sure you have a good serial cable. Also, many PCs have cheesy ribbon cables connecting the serial port from the motherboard or I/O card to the serial port connection. If you have one of these, make sure it is in good condition. Personally, I have ferrite coils (those grey-black metal like rings) around ALL of my ribbon cables. --- * My ppp link works great from the linux masquerade machine.. so this is not my case neither. --- B7 Make sure your MTU is set to 1500 as described in the FAQ section of this HOWTO above --- * I have for both the MTU and the MRU --- B7 Make sure that your serial port is a 16550A or better UART. Run dmesg | more to verify * mine it is 16550A B7 Make sure that your serial port for your PPP connection is running at 115200 (or faster if both your modem and serial port can handle it.. a.k.a ISDN terminal adapters) - * It is at 115200 - B7 2.0.x kernels: The 2.0.x kernels are kind of an odd ball because you can't directly tell the kernel to clock the serial ports at 115200. So, in one of your startup scripts like the /etc/rc.d/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.serial file, execute the following commands for a modem on COM2: --- * mine is 2.2.17 (2.0 kernel problems skipped) --- B7 Set the TCP Sliding window to at least 8192 * I dont know if I have the sliding window to this value, but if my ppp link is fast from the masquerade machine this shouldt be an issue isn't it? -- B7 Setup IRQ-Tune for your serial ports B7 On most PC hardware, the use of Craig Estey's IRQTUNE http://www.best.com/~cae/irqtune/ tool and significantly increase serial port performance including SLIP and PPP connections. --- * Same answer as the last point.. it shouldn't be an issue since my ppp link is fast!! -- What is happening?
