montar W98 sin problemas ??
Hola a todos: Me asalta la duda de la total compatibilidad de las particiones de ventanucos 98 con vfat, pues muy frecuentemente los archivos de esta particion cuando los voy a abrir desde linux me dice que no puede o estan truncados. Otra pregunta, puede que sea trivial pero ya lo intentado de mil formas, es como permitir a un usuario que no sea root escribir en una particion vfat ( disco duro o floppy ) He probado a cambiar los permisos del directorio de montaje, el del dispositivo y antes de montarlo tiene los permisos bien, pero cuando lo monto los permisos cambian a los de por defecto (rwxr-xr-x) por lo que lo demas usuario ( vease mi otra personalidad cuando no soy root) pueden hacer poca cosa. Gracias por adelantado. Adios PD: Estoy hasta los ... de MS -Ventanucos XX

Utilizar el parametro noauto y user en el fichero /etc/fstab en la linea de esa particion. Eso hace que la particion no se monte automaticamente y luego permite que la monte cualquier usuario con lo que los ficheros perteneceran al usuario que los monto (es la mejor solucion pero la mas incomoda si solo una persona utiliza el ordenador). 2. Utilizar el parametro uid en el fichero /etc/fstab. Eso hace que la particion se monte cono todos los ficheros perteneciendo al usuario que indiques. No sirve si otros usuarios quieren escribir en la particion. 3. Utilizar el parametro mode en /etc/fstab. Cambia los permisos de los ficheros.

Crc Error
En el caso de Adrian, copió el kernel en una partición de DOS (y es un kernel que le funcionó bien para instalar el sistema base) y lo cargó desde DOS usando loadlin, produziendo el error de CRC. Puede ser que loadlin no sea capaz de eliminar de la memoria los controladores de MS-DOS ya cargados, a mí me ha pasado varias veces. El error sucede tanto booteando directamente desde linux como usando loadlin. Estoy cargando el sistema en modo DOS a prueba de fallos, por lo que no hay ningun controlador cargado. Una solución momentanea que consegui es usar un archivo llamado linux que esta en la sección de discos de instalación del ftp. Creo que es el mismo que esta en el disco de arranque. Asi, desde DOS, ejecuto: loadlin linux root=/dev/hda6 Y me carga. De todos modos me tiene intrigado que no me cargue de la manera normal.

Publicada Debian GNU/Linux 2.1
Publicación de Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 Tras siete meses de desarrollo, se ha publicado a principios del mes de Marzo la nueva versión de la conocida distribución de Linux. Debian GNU/Linux está compuesta de software libre 100%. El objetivo del proyecto Debian es mantener los sistemas Linux y sus componentes libres y la potenciación del software libre. La definición de libre que Debian entiende se fijó en el Contrato Social http://www.es.debian.org/social_contract. La publicación de la nueva Debian Slink se produce no sólo en la arquitectura x86, sino que incluye Alpha, Motorola 680x0 y Sparc. Esto supone un incremento sobre la versión anterior de dos arquitecturas. Debian GNU/Linux es la distribución de Linux más grande, con más de 2250 paquetes binarios precompilados, creados por los más de 400 colaboradores voluntarios de más de 1500 paquetes fuente. La distribución contiene además de la versión actualizada del sistema X11 (XFree86-3.3.2.3a), PostgresSQL (6.3.2), GIMP (1.0.2), así como Apache (1.3.3) e incluso Roxen (1.2.46). Además, un desarrollador obtiene un sistema con gran cantidad de librerías en C, Perl y Python. Debian, como siempre, se basa en el potente formato .deb. El poderoso gestor de paquetes `dpkg' facilita la instalación, administración y actualización de paquetes usando un sistema de dependencias y configuración muy detallado. Además, el programa `alien' permite la instalación de paquetes de otros sistemas. Adicionalmente, la administración de paquetes se completa con la interfaz `dselect' así como el nuevo APT que contiene nuevos mecanismos que se encargan de la integración óptima de los paquetes en el sistema. Esto incluye la administración de sistemas de menús para prácticamente todos los gestores de ventanas y documentación en soporte electrónico. Además se encargan de que programas de funcionalidad similar sean intercambiables (por ejemplo los diferentes clones de vi) e instalan métodos para la representación de diferentes tipos MIME. Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 viene con el ampliamente probado y estimado núcleo 2.0.36. Durante el periodo de prueba se produjo la publicación del núcleo 2.2.0, pero esta no se consideró suficientemente estable. Además esto exigía cambios en diferentes paquetes. En todo caso se pueden encontrar detalles para el cambio al núcleo 2.2.x en http://www.es.debian.org/releases/slink/running-kernel-2.2. La distribución ha crecido tanto que ya no cabe completa en un CD-ROM. Por ello se han desarrollado métodos Multi-CD que permiten usar varios para la instalación. Como en anteriores ocasiones, el Proyecto Debian ha puesto las imágenes oficiales a disposición en http://cdimage.debian.org. Se trata de dos CDs fuentes y dos binarios por arquitectura. Además, y por primera vez, los discos de instalación están disponibles, no sólo en inglés sino también en español. Normalmente, la instalación se poner en marcha desde disquetes o CD, y se puede completar realizar desde CD, disco duro o via NFS o HTTP. Debian GNU/Linux es distribuida en España por I+D Agora http://www.id-agora.com. Actualmente la versión de desarrollo de Debian se encuentra en su versión `unstable' (inestable), también llamada `potato', en los servidores FTP. Los desarrolladores trabajan en varias arquitecturas adicionales: PowerPC, ARM (por ejemplo para los Netwinder) así como una versión que usa el núcleo Hurd.

lilo: Posible offtopic
Huenas! Yo arrancaba (y arranco) con loadlin en el ciber de mi primo, donde estamos montando un pequeño servidor para la LAN. El caso es que la gran calidad del FAT me corrompió el kernel, el loadlin y todo. El equipo no tiene disquetera. Arrancarmos windows y metimos por red un núcleo 2.0.36 y un loadlin.exe con el que arrancar Linux. Arrancó sin red y sin módulo de vfat (sólo tengo para 2.0.34 y 2.2.3) así que lo único que se me ocurrió fue instalar lilo para tener acceso al 2.2.3 y ver las particiones vfat desde Linux. Por error metí lilo en hda1 en vez de hda así que perdí el arranque de win95, pero Linux funcionaba. Arranqué con el 2.2.3, monté las vfat's y copié el 2.2.3 allí para poder usarlo con loadlin como siempre. A la hora de restaurar el sector de arranque de win95 (gracias a la copia que hace lilo) lo hice así: # dd if=/boot/boot.0301 of=/dev/hda1 bs=512 count=1 Bien, no? Pues no! Al arrancar de nuevo salía Disco incorrecto, cambie el disco y pulse una tecla. Y hala, sin windows ni Linux. Arreglamos con otro disco duro haciendo sys d: pero, ¿por qué salió ese error?

LI... (LO)
Holas, A proposito de dificultades con el arranque, instale hamm en un pc que resucite de los trastos viejos. El asunto es que al tratar de arrancar directamente desde la particion debian, solo alcanza a decir LI... donde debiera decir LILO y despues toda la catarata de mensajes de arranque, y ahi se queda. Arranca correctamente desde disquete. La configuracion es un disco de 200 M como primer master, es el disco original (en realidad no es el original ahora que lo pienso, pero lleva tiempo en ese pc :) que no esta muy bueno, a veces hay que darle unos golpecitos para que empiece a rotar. En ese disco no tengo mas que el viejo DOS y lo puse como primer master porque por alguna razon no funciona como segundo master. Luego como segundo master un disco de 8Gb con una particion de 2Gb para W98 en los primeros cilindros, y el resto para hamm y swap. No he experimentado nada con la configuracion, asi que seguramente con alguna combinacion consiga que arranque directamente del disco duro, pero me parecio leer aqui que LILO no arranca desde un segundo master, es cierto?

Freaky keyboard.
My keyboard started doing somthing wierd. Maybe hardware? I dunno. I am using emacs, keyboard macros with searches and moves. Suddenly, the keyboard starts acting up, trashing the file. Moved to the console, and get combinations of characters for each keypress: for l I get lo; for k ki, etc. Totally freaky. Then when I reboot, things are ok. Last night I had this problem. Then again today, after rebooting. Sorry to ask, but is this a hardware thing? Is there something in software that could do this? Alan Davis

Re: more ram and larger harddrive then the bios can take
From: Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] I recently had the displeasure of finding out all about limits with disk size. I purchased a 10.1GB IDE disk. Here's the lowdown, gleaned from [ ... deleted material ...] I was never able to get my PC (a 3 year old pentium) to access more than 8.4GB. Even that was only after flashing my ROM to the latest version. [...] I've had countless frustrating experiences in trying to mix and match different generations of IDE devices and adapters with a variety of operating systems. New IDE drives and old IDE adapters just do not go together. Flashing the BIOS does sometimes help, but eventually they stop updating the BIOS for your mboard. I'd advise against trying to mix and match different IDE generations. This is in direct contrast to SCSI. If you really need an old mboard and a new IDE disc drive to work together, you could try a recently purchased IDE expansion card. These are hard to find, but should get the job done along with drive geometry remapping software (Ontrack, EZ-drive, etc). But generally I'd avoid this option. -- Andrew Hagen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Debian Menu and Fvwm2--help!
Is there a way to get a menudefs.hook in the user directories to override what's in the system menudefs.hook for fvwm2? I have parameters I need to pass to programs on the menu, but they keep getting blown away by some auto update of the menus. And any config I put in the user directory (.fvwm2/ menudefs.hook) just duplicates the entry on the menu. What am I missing? Thanks. Curt [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Netscape mail - multiple profiles?
Christian Dysthe escribió: Hi, I am running Netscape 4.5 under Debian (hamm). What I need is to be able is to open different Messenger profiles with different mail folders, different From addresses and different pop/smtp servers. Since Messenger isn't a multi account email client yet (unbelievable!) I thought I could do it this way. There is maybe some command line options that makes Messenger read another ini file on startup? I haver seen this done in Windows, but as a Linux newbie I do not feel I am able to replicate this procedure yet. I solved your problem using a stand-alone POP client that download my mail to my mail spool, then I download on Netscape using a local POP server. Besides, you can use any standard mail client too, once you have your mail in the mail spool The Debian has fetchmail as POP client, as far as I know, but I installed Debian distribution just a few days ago and I don't look how to configure it yet. I don't know about what POP server Debian has, either, but I think you can use it as it come out of the box.
Is Debian's 2.0 FVWM2 broken?
Hi! After I installed Debian 2.0 (Hamm) some days ago, I found that X crashes after a few minutes of use. Then I think it was some kind of incompatibility, because my X server isn't from Debian distribution (pretty newer chipset, just included, I think, in XFree 4.0). However, using WindowMaker works fine. Then, is packed FVWM2 broken (so beta?). Or are both guilts? XFCom_Sis server worked great in Slackware, with FVWM 1.24 and older libraries.
Linus Torvalds: Linux-2.2.4..
I've put the source, patch, and debs of this at the usual place (http://netgod.net/). ISDN is compiled in now (I think). netgod --- Forwarded Message Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 14:46:33 -0800 (PST) From: Linus Torvalds [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Kernel Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Linux-2.2.4.. There's a new 2.2.x version out there now. As of 2.2.4, I shoul dbe synchronized with the Sparc[64] and PPC ports, which is the major reason why the patch is pretty huge. Apart from the architecture synchronizations, 2.2.4 does: - dumping core over NFS could do bad things. Core-dumping cleaned up and fixed. - various small TCP/IP buglets fixed. Linux got confused by hosts that didn't report any mss, and had problems with zero-sized fragments, etc. - various small, often silly bugs fixed (PC BIOS PCI buglet, alpha semaphores, bottom half interrupts, fork() returns wrong error code). - tons of driver updates - updated net scheduling code (CONFIG_NET_SCHED) Most of the fixes aren't all that noticeable, but some of them can be showstoppers depending on whether you've ever seen them. I hope to hear reports of the new kernel, and I'm going on a two-week vacation starting mid next week, so please give this a whirl. Linus

pty (pseudo terminal?) are linux devices defined in some quantity compiling the kernel. If you find this a problem then you do have to recompile the kernel increasing this amount.

Re: /var/lib/dpkg on diskless linux
On Mon, Mar 22, 1999 at 10:12:20AM +0100, Heinrich Rebehn wrote: However i was wondering about /var/lib/dpkg. Normally, in a diskless cluster, every client gets its own copy of /etc, /dev and /var, while /bin, /sbin, /lib and /usr are there only once. /var/lib/dpkg, however, which is NOT specifc for each client, occupies some 10 to 20 MB of disk space. Also, if i install or upgrade packages on the server, the change is not reflected in the client's copy of /var/lib/dpkg. My questions: 1) Why is this stuff in /var? Shouldn't it rather go to /usr? Interesting question. The files in /var/lib/dpkg/info are mostly constant; the scripts in particular, so those could/should possibly go in /usr. However, /var/lib/dpkg/available and status are databases, which puts them in /var. 2) Can i replace /var/lib/dpkg on the clients with a link to the server's /var/lib/dpkg? 3) Is /var/lib/dpkg only used at install/upgrade time? Only dpkg and dselect and apt usr /var/lib/dpkg. Your clients might not need it at all; if you do all package installation/maintainence on the server, it won't matter if it doesn't exist on the clients or is out of date. I experimented with remote booting and NFSROOT here a while back. My template /var/lib for each client machine was empty.

First time it took me half a minute to find the resize corner ( using alt mouse button to move it across ) eeek !! The second time it was even worse the RAM count kept counting up and maxed , then swap started climbing up, response time went out the door ( coward ;0) ) so i three finger soluted Windowmaker (Take that !). ( ctrl-alt backspace ) which took a while itself so i watch swap climbing closer and closer to the max ( hmm more exiting then bloody TV down under, were using last years TV guide and getting nearly 90% accuracy, which is better then first time around ). Anyone hit this ;0) And what would have happened had SWAP run out of space. ? kaboom ??? Cheers.

Faxing from Debian - success, but is there a GUI?
I am very excited at the ease with which efax installed on my system. Debian proved itself yet again in configuring my system so that I can, for the first time, send faxes from my Debian system. I *never* achieved this with RedHat. Anyway, what I would like to do is to be able to print directly from an application like Applix. Failing that, even printing to a .ps file and faxing that with a GUI would be useful. At the moment I do the following: gs -q -sDEVICE=tiffg3 -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=letter.%03d input.file.ps /dev/null to convert/prepare the postscript file for faxing efax -d /dev/ttyS1 -o1 -t T12345678 letter.001 to actually send it.

Printer config: still not there
So, I installed Debian 2.0 back when it was new. I've been using it without problems for a while. Today I decided to go ahead and install LPRng. (No, I don't print very often.) Installation apparently worked okay, but of course /etc/printcap refers to the generic dot matrix printer and printing stairsteps off the edge of the page in two lines. No problem -- I have the printcap from my previous system archived, and that had the right incomprehensible gibberish for my NEC Superscript 100 printer. Copy that over the generic printcap, kill and restart lpd and *lpd refuses to start*. That is, it (apparently) exits instantly on any attempt to start it, without error messages to the console (even with the -F flag) and without putting any messages in any system logs. This is repeatable -- I can uninstall and reinstall LPRng, and it will work until I edit /etc/printcap, after which lpd refuses to run. Weird. Any ideas? Would it be helpful to post my (modified) /etc/printcap? Note that I read linux.debian.user rather than the mailing list, so I might not see replies to the list for a few days (until the gateway posts them).

Booting Linux from extended partition
There is a way to boot from a logical partition using lilo...it's one special case, and I did it at one time. I installed linux on hda5 and told lilo to look for it on hda4. Worked fine. Tim To boot, as a general rule, your operating system must be on one of your hard disk's primary partitions. You're allowed four of these and no more, and an extended partition counts as one of them. You cannot boot from a logical drive. In principle, you could get around this with a boot manager program which fed a doctored master boot record image to the operating system, but it sounds like more work than it's worth. Give Linux its own partition or two.

Use apt to form a partial local mirror of Slink -- how?
I have installed Slink on my desktop using apt. It downloaded a whole lot of package files to do this (but dselect, I think, has now deleted them). Now I have a laptop which needs to be upgraded to Slink. It would appear that I'm going to have to download all these files again! What would be nice is to have the option for apt to build up a partial mirror of the Slink distribution (or any version for that matter), putting each downloaded file in the correct location in a directory tree. Of course it would only be a partial mirror because it would only download those packages which were to be installed. The advantage of this is that I could then use this structure to install from when upgrading my laptop. This solution would be better than the standard mirror solution because this way, only the files needed would be downloaded, saving on disk space and internet bandwidth. My guess is that apt doesn't currently have this feature. Are there any plans to add it? My second best option is to use nfs to symlink the laptop's /var/cache/apt/archives to the desktop's. This might work --- the only problem here is that dselect-apt decides to delete all the files in the cache! How can I turn this off???

The simplest way to avoid multiple downloads is to use a caching proxy (for example, with Apache's mod_proxy) with a sufficiently large cache. Then, subsequent requests will be fetched from the cache. (*) apt already knows how to use HTTP proxies (just set your http_proxy environment variable appropriately). -ccwf * The only downside is if you fetch Debian packages from multiple mirrors. In that case, a simple proxy cache configuration will wind up downloading and caching a package multiple times if you fetch the same package from multiple mirrors. If this concerns you, Apache::Gateway can be used to fix this problem by implementing what is effectively a URN-hierarchy for the Debian packages.

Re: Printer config: still not there
Hi!
I'm having similar problems (ok, perhaps the similarities are just that
I to am having printing problems).

And I have one for my HP OfficeJet, (really a DeskJet with a scanner
on top of it).
Copy that over the generic printcap, kill and restart lpd and *lpd
refuses to start*. That is, it (apparently) exits instantly on any
attempt to start it, without error messages to the console (even with
the -F flag) and without putting any messages in any system logs.
Now that's not what my lpd does. lpq just says Queue: no printable
jobs in queue no matter what I try to print with lpr, so I guess it just
discards whatever I send to it.
Is anyone working on a user-friendly printer setup program for Linux?
I might volunteer for such a project.
RedHat has a really nice program callied printtool in its Control panel.
I don't know how free it is but it did a great job of setting up my
printer when I used the lpd etc. that came with RedHat 5.2.
If I su to root and cat something to /dev/lp0 it goes to my printer
but with the famous stairstep effects...

Re: Hello
For the backspace key: try adding keycode 0x16=BackSpace to your /etc/X11/Xmodmap file. For Netscape: The icon colour just doesn't work properly at 24 bit colour. It isn't much of a problem, it just means Netscape looks a bit funny, and I think that it is fine at 8,16 or 32 bit colour. HTH Rich Pat Neumann wrote: Hello All I am still quite new to X and Linux. I have a couple of questions which I require help with. I installed a package for netscape and after I installed it my mouse pointer under X is now a large block, about 2, 2 in size. I have been unable to figure out how to restore it to normal size and shape. Also when x sets its self up the back space key and del keys do not work the way I am useto. How should I correct this. Has anyone else had problems with Netscape and the coloron the task bar. On 8 bit color depth it is fine but under 24 it goes black and white. It is kind of strange. Even upgrading to Slink Dis did not solve the above problems. Thanks for any help Pat [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
Scanner - printer problems.
I've been trying for a while to get my scanner and printer to cooperate
and act like a copy machine. I've got a small script that I've hacked in
various ways, but no matter what I try, I can't get the scale quite right.
I've got a Mustek scanner that I use with SANE (at 300dpi, lineart mode)
and an HP DeskJet 600 printer (used at 300dpi again). SANE spits out a
PPM-format file.
I've tried using pnmtops (from the netpbm package) and convert (from
ImageMagick) to produce a postscript file that then goes through
magicfilter. I *thought* I read the man pages appropriately, but the image
on the paper is not *quite* the same size as the original.
If I hold the original and the copy up to a light and look through them,
I can see that the output is a bit bigger than the input. It's not really
noticeable just looking at the output, but it annoys me. I mean, 300dpi
input should translate to 300dpi output, no?
Anyway here's the 'xerox' script I've tried:
---
#!/bin/sh
# Device to scan from
DEV=mustek:/dev/scanner
# 300 dpi
RES=300
# Next 4 measurement are in millimeters
LEFT=5
TOP=5
WIDTH=205
HEIGHT=255
# From the pnmtops man page
SCALE=.25
# The actual command: scan - pnmtops - lpr
scanimage -d ${DEV} -l ${LEFT} -t ${TOP} -x ${WIDTH} -y ${HEIGHT} \
--resolution ${RES} | \
pnmtops -dpi 300 -center -rle -scale ${SCALE} | \
lpr
---
I have also tried things like:
convert -density 300x300 /tmp/xerox.ppm /tmp/xerox.ps
lpr /tmp/xerox.ps
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on what I might try? I know
that I'm not going to get a perfect copy, but over the course of a full
page the difference in scaling leads to an offset of a full line of text.
I'm going to try xeroxing a ruler so I can measure the exact divergence.
