Re: technical mail setup question (and a little of what was: calling Philip Hands)

1999-06-03 Thread Anders Hammarquist
[Please CC me, I don't follow debian-user]

 attention now (especially those of you advocating using your isp's
 relay.) to a very real technical question in debian-user (please
 follow-up to his question there):
 
 Allan M. Wind has a local LAN, I have a dynamic IP, both of us have the
 problem that the hostname that our local Sendmail is telling our ISP's
 SMTP relays is not a resolvable hostname.  The relay declines to do the
 transaction.  Solution?

Is it during the HELO (EHLO) negotiation that the remote system rejects
you (in which case I'd consider it broken) or does it reject your
MAIL FROM: ?

In the latter case you need to fix your mailer to use an envelope with
a resovable domain (if you don't do this you will not see any error mails).
If you are using sendmail with the m4 config files, you need to use
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope). For other mailers, consult your local guru.

Re: As user: swap capslock/cntrl?

1998-08-28 Thread Anders Hammarquist
How do I swap the capslock and control keys on a standard PC keyboard as a
user only?  (not as root)

Under X, you do it with xmodmap. To quote the xmodmap manpage:

 One of the more irritating differences between keyboards  is
 the  location  of the Control and Shift Lock keys.  A common
 use of xmodmap is to swap these two keys as follows:

  !
  ! Swap Caps_Lock and Control_L
  !
  remove Lock = Caps_Lock
  remove Control = Control_L
  keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
  keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
  add Lock = Caps_Lock
  add Control = Control_L

So, stick those lines in a file, and run xmodmap on that file.

I think you can swap them in the console as well by using loadkeys. I'm
afraid I can't offer you any help as to how to go about doing it though.

/Anders

Re: eight_bit console

1998-08-21 Thread Anders Hammarquist
I'm using Debain Linux and do most of my work in console mode.
I use us keymap and i wonder what i have to do to be able to write
eight_bit characters. In X alt is bound to meta and that works just
fine, but in console-mode holding in alt while writing seems to have no
effect whatsover.

The meta keys in the console can be set to either prefix the next key
with ESC or set the 8th bit. You can select which behaviour they should
exhibit with the setmetamode command.

Re: Dumb X terminals

1998-08-08 Thread Anders Hammarquist
We (A high school) just received a bunch of 486/66 Compaqs.  The idea is
to turn them in to dumb X terminals (running StarOffice, and Netscape).
They have small hard drives (200mb), 16 md of RAM, 3 Comm Ethernet cards,
and vga (svga?) + Monitors.  I was thinking that the base system could
sit on the drives, and maybe some of the X files (hehe, sorry).  But when
xdm fires up X, I would like it to connect to our Linux server, (not the
local machine).  Is this possible, can some give me a few pointers.

Yes, that should definitely be possible (and all the stuff you need should
fit on the disk as well). What you need to install is xbase (unfortunatley
there are some files in xbase that are required to run the X server),
and the appropriate xserver for your card. You need not run xdm on these
machines, instead have it start the X server at boot (adding it to
/etc/inittab is probably easies) and have it ask for a session from your
server (you probably want to run xfs on the server and have the xserver
fetch it's fonts from that).

X -query yourserverbox -fp tcp/yourserverbox:7100

should do what you need if xfs and xdm are running on the server.

Hello,
I would lke to know if I can install the Debian Linux distribution on an
AlphaServer AS800 5/400
(the processor isa DECChip 21164A-2).

Yes, you can. There is a port to the alpha (it's not part of Hamm/2.0, but
we hope to have it ready for Slink/2.1) availabe in dists/unstable.
The AS800 should be supported, though there is no Debian kernel for it I
think, so you'd need to get your kernel and MILO own from
ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/DEC/Linux-Alpha/. There is also a list of
systems - nicknames so you can figure out what kernel get (your machine
is a Noritake and since it's a 5/xxx you need teh noritake-s-5 kernel).

If you need more help, talk to debian-alpha@lists.debian.org

Re: SCSI Controller

1998-07-29 Thread Anders Hammarquist
I'm in the middle of getting a new PII (300MHz +) system.  I'd like
to know what SCSI controller should I get for the best performance and
supporter driver on Linux:

1. BusLogic
2. Adaptec  UW

A. Onboard (which Motherboard)
B. PCI Card

The Adaptec controllers have been flakey on Linux (though it may change as
Adaptec has finally started giving out specs). With the current drivers
Adaptec 2940 (aic7xxx) cards get confused under high load. The BusLogic
MultiMaster BT958 controllers run quite well under Linux and (from my
experience) are quite a bit faster than the Adaptec controllers. Onboard
or as a PCI card rarely makes any difference, as the 'on bord'
controllers are just the PCI card soldered directly on to the motherboard.

Another contoller that seem to be working nicely are the
Symbios Logic 53c875 based cards such as Asus's SC875.

Re: lexmark printers

1998-07-28 Thread Anders Hammarquist
There are some pretty good deals on Lexmark printers at my
University.  They use PCL5 and PS emulation.  Anybody have any experience
with Lexmark's emulation and Linux ?  I've heard that the emulation isn't
perfect.  Since they don't support Linux, they are not likely to offer any
solutions.  Any one come across any notable problems with the printer output?

Actually, I've found their technical people quite helpful (Ok, I was using
Solaris at the time, but I don't recall actually telling them that). There
is complete documentation of their parallel-port protocol (NPAP) available
at their FTP site, should you decide that just dumping your files out the
parallell port isn't good enough.

Their PS emulation is not really worse than anybody elses (I've seen far
worse postscript interpreters). In general, I find their Optra line to
be quite decent printers.

Re: libc6 Netscape form problems

1998-07-15 Thread Anders Hammarquist
I am running the libc6 version of Netscape 4.05 and am experiencing
some strang problems when entering text into text fields.  Something
keeps appending random binary bits to the end of the strings and it
really screws things up.  Sometimes it isn't even apparent in the field
and other times it is.  This is really fun when trying to order things
on the web!!  As an example I tried placing an order for 2 items and it
somehow converted it to 21!!! Yikes!  Or as another example I entered
free source into yahoo's search field and it said that I had entered,
free sourceü^¾¤-?ü^¾¤-?h=5.  What gives.  I suppose I could
re-install the libc5 version of Netscape but if Netscape is not the
problem I don't want to download the 11+M over my 31.2k dialup.

It's a bug in Netscape, however there is a cure. If you set
LD_PRELOAD to /lib/libBrokenLocale.so.1 the problems go away. If you
are using the Debian wrapper, the easiest way to get it set is to
edit /usr/bin/X11/netscape (it's a script). Look for the folloing
section and add the export LD_PRELOAD= line:

#
# Set some env vars to make things work better
#
#LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/netscape:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libBrokenLocale.so.1
MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/lib/netscape
NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=$HOME/.netscape/plugins:/usr/local/lib/netscape/plugins:/usr/lib
/netscape/plugins
display=$DISPLAY
export MOZILLA_HOME NPX_PLUGIN_PATH display 

if you are not using the wrapper, alias netscape to run
env LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libBrokenLocale.so.1 netscape

Re: Linked against libc5 AND libc6?

1998-07-03 Thread Anders Hammarquist
Hmm ... ok, that makes sense.  When I do an ldd on erpcd on a libc5
system it only says it's linked against libc5 ... and libdb is linked
against libc6 on hamm systems.

tesla:/usr/annex # ldd erpcd
libdb.so.2 = /lib/libdb.so.2
libc.so.5 = /lib/libc.so.5
tesla:/usr/annex # cat /etc/debian_version
1.3

Any way out of this mess?  I don't have a libc5 version of libdb 2 ... I
had to make a rather ugly hack to get this to run on the bo system :)

Well, you could take the libdb.so.2 you built on the bo system and
stick it in /usr/lib/libc5-compat on the hamm system (don't forget
to run ldconfig after). The loader is intelligent in the way that if
there are two copies of the library, it will link in the one which
uses the same version of libc as the binary.

Then perhaps you should petition someone to do a libc5 version of
DB 2 for the oldlibs section.

If I'm not mistaken, that card is (more or less) equivalent to an

work with it. It may be that you need a newer version of the kernel

I primarily use XFMail and I set up all my mail folders as MH folders. I'm

You give it the magic folder path #mh/mh-foler, so, for example, your

Re: Edit Program

1998-04-13 Thread Anders Hammarquist
Could anyone tell me the magic keystrokes for copy and paste?

Left mouse button marks and copies, middle (both if you only have two
and are emulating a 3-button mouse) mouse button pastes. Most X programs
follow this convention, as well as the Linux console if you run gpm.

Emacs keystrokes are (many other apps use these too):
 mark: C-SPC or C-@
  cut: C-w
 copy: M-w
paste: C-y
(C is control key, M is meta or alt key, it can also be emulated by pressing
escape first and then the indicated key). The emacs mark command sets the
start of the region to cut or copy, the cursor (point in emacs-speak) is
the end of the region.

Re: Xterm ALT key

1998-04-11 Thread Anders Hammarquist
Please excuse my unfamiliarity with the nomenclature of the keyboard.  I
think this is an FAQ, but I haven't grokked the previous threads.  I am
posting to ask why xterm persists in crummy handling of ALT so that bash
readline is a pain, or at least, not equivalent with bash on a terminal.
This is the case in jed, for example.  On a term, I can type \M-x using the
ALT key, but in and Xterm it's not so, I have to hit ESC then x.  The shell
readline keys are also not working right with ALT.

Rxvt has gone through evolutions over the post two years in handling of ALT.
These past few months it's been ok, but over the past two years, this
behavior has come and gone.

What will I have to do to get xterm to do the right thing?

To have xterms send ESC+7bit-char instead of 8bit-char, add this to
your ~/.Xresources file:

XTerm*eightBitInput: false

It tells xterm not to accept characters with the 8th (or meta) bit
set, but instead strip that bit and preceede the character with the
ESC character.

If you want to get at the lilo prompt, you can hit scroll lock when the

Re: I'm also looking for a C function to convert EBCDIC to ASCII

1997-05-19 Thread Anders Hammarquist
I'm web surfing lookng for a C function to convert EBCIDIC to ASCII and I
stumbled across the e-mail from Walter L Preuniger II, asking the same
question.

Have a look at GNU recode - it does conversions to/from most imaginable
character sets (including EBCDIC).

Re: Another Netscape Question

1997-05-10 Thread Anders Hammarquist
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write:
Does Netscape (4.0b3) hog the colormap on everyone's system or just
mine? Have they not heard of sharing? Is there a fix for this, I would
like to see colored screensavers when netscape is running among other
things.
I'm running X11R6 in 1024 x 768 24bpp, Linux 2.0.30, Cirrus clgd5426.

(Don't know if this works for the 4.0 beta, it does for 3.0)
Netscape seems to want to use the PseudoColor visual class if
it's available. (e.g 8bit mode) To force it to use TrueColor
(which is what you have with 24bpp) say
netscape -visual TrueColor

Re: Amiga Filesystem mounting bother.

1997-05-01 Thread Anders Hammarquist
Ok, just noticed this in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help:


Amiga FFS filesystem support (EXPERIMENTAL)
CONFIG_AFFS_FS
The Fast File System (FFS) is the common filesystem used on harddisks
by Amiga (tm) Systems since AmigaOS Version 1.3 (34.20)...

If you want to be able to mount hard disks you also need
CONFIG_AMIGA_PARTITION in order for the kernel to understand the
partition table on the disk. (This option does not seem to be
mentioned in Configure.help.)
