Configurar Modem
Hola a todos. Quisiera configurar mi modem, el problema es que no tengo idea de por donde comenzar. He leido algunos HOWTOs pero no he conseguido una lista de pasos a seguir. Podria alguien decirme que debo hacer, y como probar que el modem esta funcionando correctamente luego de configurarlo? Gracias a todos... Adrian E. Moya - Feliz de haber configurado el lilo correctamente :-) P.D.: No tengo Xwindows instalado.

Gracias Segun la pagina de man, hay soporte para sistemas de archivo sysv, xenix, coherent. Notese que los ultimos tres son equivalentes y que xenix y coherent seran removidos en algun momento futuro - use sysv en su lugar Y por cierto, por si no tienes mucha idea al respecto, puede que no necesites recompilar el nucleo para acceder a tus discos Xenix, fijate primero si ya tienes un modulo con el soporte que necesitas (fijate en /lib/modules/2.x.x/fs, supongo que figuraria como sysv.o)

Re: Directorio mqueue
El Tue, Apr 06, 1999, Vázquez, Gustavo... Tengo un problemita. A veces (soslo un par de veces y con cierto usuario) sucede el siguiente error: sendmail[38608]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(user): The chdir system call failed, chdir(/var/spool/mqueue): The file access permissions do not allow the specified action. Obviamente el mail se pierde. Los permisos del directorio son drwxrwx--- drwx-- 2 root root 9216 abr 7 08:43 /var/spool/mqueue/ Es raro, el mio es más restrictivo y no da problemas. Los mails del directorio están así: -rw--- 1 root pepe 64 abr 7 08:43 dfIAA02452 -rw--- 1 root pepe 598 abr 7 08:43 qfIAA02452 Pero si solo te pasa en ciertas ocasiones, es lógico pensar que no sea debido a problemas con permisos en ese directorio. ¿ Tienes `mqueue' como `root.root' ?

Configurar modem-conexion
* pppconfig Ya esto lo he hecho y se que esta bien configurado. De todos modos no he iniciado una conexión (para ser sincero no se como). Pero corriendo apt-get update por ejemplo, no se conecta (creo que el deberia iniciar una conección, no??) * minicom Lo instale y lo corri. Dice initializating modem, pero no veo ninguna respuesta. Luego dice CTRL-A Z para comandos, pero no reacciona. Creo que el modem sencillamente no existe dentro de Linux. Desactive el com 2 del Bios segun una recomendación de un HOWTO. Enseguida el modem salto al com 2, pero linux solo reconoce un puerto UART, el com 1. El modem es un 33.600 interno PNP. Y como digo, al parecer el sistema no sabe que esta alli. help!

LILO y MBR

Re: LILO y MBR
Hola, Si tienes por ahi floppies con DOS o una version vieja de Winbugs, puedes bootear con ellos y usar el comando: FDISK /MBR Esto reescribe el MBR y deja el MBR original de DOS. La otra, claro, es bootear con un rescue floppy y darle: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda Con eso te va a poner ceros en todo tu primer disco IDE, incluyendo el MBR.

Nada, nada, no van por ahi los tiros. El problema es que no tienes configurados los dispositivos PnP. Lo primero que necesitas es que el linux te los reconozca. Para ello necesitas las pnptools. No te puedo decir de donde bajarlas exactamente, ya que yo uso RedHat y vienen con la distribuci´on, pero en cualquier buscador salen a la primera (busca primero en rediris, que seguro que las tienen9 Luego ejecutas pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf Con esto creas un fichero que contiene todos los par´ametros posibles de los dispositivos pnp que encuentre. Lo editas, y descomentas las l´ineas necesarias, es decir, las que hacen referencia a la IRQ 5 y a la direcci´on 0x03e8, y la l´inea ACT Y, que est´a al final del fichero. [muy importante] Lo siguiente es ejecutar isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf, para que lea los valores del fichero con las modificaciones hechas. Lo ´ultimo es cambiar la IRQ del puerto. Yo lo hago con la orden setserial /dev/cua2 irq 5 autoconfig Lo del autoconfig es importante, que no se te olvide. En RedHat, al istalar las pnptools deja configurado el sistema para que todo esto se haga al inicializarse el sistema. No se como te lo dejar´a en Slakwarwe, pero te puedes hacer un script que se cargue al arrancar, mas o menos as´i: #!/bin/bash /sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf setserial /dev/cua2 irq 5 autoconfig En RedHat puedes hacerlo añadiendo la linea (en Slackware será parecido, pero en otro fichero de configuración, supongo) setserial /dev/cua2 irq 5 autoconfig en el fichero /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, justo despues de la que inicializa los dispositivos PnP Yo tambi´en tengo un modem supra interno, en cua2, irq5 y me funciona perfectamente.

Q: User access to hardware peripherals - preferred method?
What is the One True Debian way to allow users access to special devices such as floppies, CD-ROM drives and modems (ie., ppp, efax and minicom)? The Debian FAQ has this to say on the subject: 12.2 How can I provide access to hardware peripherals, without compromising security? Many device files in the /dev directory belong to some predefined groups. For example, /dev/fd0 belongs to the floppy gruop, and /dev/dsp belongs to the audio group. If you want a certain user to have access to one of these devices, just add the user to the group the device belongs to. This way you have not to chmod the device file. But simply doing the following for user foo does not work (at least on my 2.1 system): # addgroup foo floppy # addgroup foo audio # addgroup foo dip Is there something else to it? Or a better method? There's several Optional packages for managing permissions (sudo, super, suidmanager) and a number of other, unlegant ways to do this involving /etc/fstab edits and chmoding device files; I was hoping to avoid this.

That SHOULD work. The user must logout and back in. do a 'groups' as the user to make sure they are in the group. Then check the /dev entries and make sure that they are owned by group the user is a member of. The group acdess depends on the group owning the device.

I'd appreciate any advice you could share. Basically any external modem satisfies these requirements. Make sure you have 16550 UARTs on your serial ports, though, if you get an external modem. Chances are, with any newer computer, you will, but to be safe, the DOS utility MSD.EXE which comes with MSDOS 6.22 and(I think) Windows95 will tell you, just boot into DOS to use it. Other than that, stay away from internal modems that say Winmodem or HSP as these are software modems that will only work with windows. The above is the purely technical info, below are my personal opinions. I have had extremely bad luck with USR modems. I have had nothing but excellent luck with Zoom modems. Zoom are also very cheap modems, so you might want to look into that. Good luck, hope this helps. -Dano

Doh! Hosed my printer config
Well, since apt-get has been very zealous with its interdependency upgrades, I seem to have hosed my printer configuration somewhere along the way. See, when I try to print a page using Netscape, it dumps postscript at my printer. Nasty! I don't think the problem is in my printcap, unless the ljet4m module assumes that the printer understands PostScript... I am using an HP LaserJet 1100, BTW. So, what other configurations/programs/etc should I check for problems? To be honest, I am not sure that I tested printing from netscape before the upgrades (the install's less than a week old). Suggestions would be much obliged :-) Thanks! -Chris

In the meantime, I will update the appropriate README files with a dire warning to not purge xbase, but to simply remove it instead. All of xbase's conffiles have migrated to other packages; an enumeration is in the existing xbase/README.Debian.

This sound like the exact same problem (at least it sounds the same) I had when I upgraded from dhcpd to dhcpd-beta. dhcpd wasn't purged, so I purged it, and it broke dhcpd-beta because purging dhcpd deleted /var/dhcpd and /var/dhcpd.leases which are used by both packages. AFAIK, the bug report is still open. dhcpd is a slightly different situation though - I think the postrm script deletes it. However, it is possible that the solution may be similar for both cases, hence my reason for mentioning it here. Is it the case that somehow the old /var/lib/dpkg/info/xbase.conffiles file is being left around? On my system, I even still have xbase installed and it is not there. Is there perhaps some scenario in which the old conffiles file is not removed? If so, this is probably a bug in dpkg, and not in X. With my very limited knowledge of dpkg. Suggestions: - what package owned the config file in question? On my slink system /etc/X11/XF86Config isn't owned by any package. That might be significant. - I assume that XF86Config once was be owned by xbase?? - In this case, it might be worth installing an older version of XF86Config, and then reinstalling the new version, checking that everything looks Ok at every step. I don't know if this is possible on slink. - If the above step is not possible, it should be possible to create a dummy package that contains a config file, install it, and then install a newer version that doesn't contain the config file, and see what happens. I think this should reproduce the same situation as with xbase.

When I log back in, it does kill the running command (startsetiathome) just like I want. I'd like this exact behaviour but somehow I need xlock to always be running, waiting to jump in after the idle period. Any ideas?

System Security and Program for editing sysv runlevels
I just got a cable modem and I'm loving it, but I am concerned about security. I was instructed to comment out many lines in my /etc/inetd.conf file, especially the ones that I didn't know how to configure or what they were. In addition, I was told to turn off any services that I didn't want to make available to the internet including: nfs, nfsfs, portmap, routed, rusersd, rwho, sendmail, smb, snmpd, and ypbind. The only one of these that is running at the moment is portmap, but I'm not sure how to stop it from running. I was given a few programs (none of which I can find) from a list that is predominantly populated by Redhat users. Some of their suggestions were tksysv, ntsysv, and chkconfig, but I haven't found any of these. I stumbled across a gRunlevels program which is a gtk-based sysv runlevel editor. However, after compiling/installing the libs it required, then installing it (it came as a binary only, and I found no other link to its source) it crapped out on me because it looked for init.d to be /etc/rc.d. Can anyone point me to a program that can hadle this on a Debian system, or to some documentation that will let me do it by hand?

Are there any conventions for that? Is there any doc that explains that? For software that isn't Debianized... I use epkg: http://www-wsg.cso.uiuc.edu/encap/ It is very similar to GNU's stow, but in my opinion, better. Basically, stuff you do for your whole system that is not done by dpkg (i.e. installing new software) should go in the /usr/local/ hierarchy. When you compile software from source and want to install it in /usr/local, you can put the made files in their appropriate directories relative to /usr/local, e.g., executables go in bin/ and man pages in man/, etc... Once the files are set up appropriately, you can use epkg to create symlinks in the actual /usr/local hierarchy, for easy installing and uninstalling. I believe there is a distribution or two that actually uses this method for package management. email me if you want more info, Matt -- Matt Garman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] They're always havin' a good time down on the bayou, Lord, them delta women think the world of me. -- Dickey Betts, Ramblin' Man

Re: [off-topic] How to auto-run xlock?
I have a program that I want to run only while my PC is unattended. I
don't need the screen locked necessarily.
xlock does this for me:
xlock +nolock -startCmd startsetiathome -mode blank
but I have to run it manually. When I log back in, it does kill the
running command (startsetiathome) just like I want.
I'd like this exact behaviour but somehow I need xlock to always be
running, waiting to jump in after the idle period.
I thought about this problem before, and now realised you can check
keyboard and mouse activity looking at /proc/interrupts. You could then
start a script like this in your .xsession file (adapt the variables at
the start to your needs):
runsaver:
#! /bin/sh
# these are the interrupts of your keyboard and mouse,
# check out your /proc/interrupts:
INTERRUPTS=1 4
# this is the interval in seconds between checks of /proc/interrupts
SLEEPTIME=30
# if more than MAXINTERVALS * SLEEPTIME seconds pass without activity,
# the xlock program will run
MAXINTERVALS=10
# command line options for xlock
XLOCKFLAGS=-nolock -mode bat
checkactive () {
TOTALS=
INTERVALS=0
while true; do
OLDTOTALS=$TOTALS
TOTALS=
for x in $INTERRUPTS; do
TOTALS=$TOTALS `grep \$x: /proc/interrupts | \
sed -e 's/^.*: *\([0-9]*\).*/\1/'`
done
if [ $TOTALS = $OLDTOTALS ]; then
INTERVALS=`expr $INTERVALS + 1`
if [ $INTERVALS -ge $MAXINTERVALS ]; then
break
fi
else
INTERVALS=0
fi
sleep $SLEEPTIME
done
}
while true; do
checkactive
xlock $XLOCKFLAGS
done
Note I have only just barely tested this.

Re: Doh! Hosed my printer config
Firstly, do you know what netscape uses to print. Eg, when I press print in NS, the dialogue box says: Print Command: lpr Also, what are you using to filter? I use magicfilter, 'cos it does everything for you. If you use this, make sure you have run magicfilterconfig and this sets up a good working printcap file. If you are not using magicfilter, you need :if=/etc/your_filter_file in /etc/printcap under your lp printer def'n, and something along the lines of /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -sDEVICE=laserjet -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- - in your_filter_file. I think that it is normal for NS to dump ps output at your printer program, and for that to use gs to drive your printer. I would recommend using magicfilter to do the filtering.

Mouse Problems and xdm
Hi: I have a couple of problems and I would like to get an opinion from those who might have an insite into these issues. I recently installed Debian 2.1 on my system. I have had Debian 2.0 previously and wsa very happy with it but i decided to do a fresh install. The installation went well (better than 2.0) but I ran into a problem that I am not familiar with - my mouse. I have a Microsoft mouse that plugs into my PS2 port (the one that has a S-Video jack). When I ran xf86config, I selected the /dev/psaux as my mouse interface device and I know that this worked because I can see the mouse when I am in the text mode console (I can see the mouse as a block in text mode and it works well). Now when I start mt X server, I have no control of my mouse - I can see it but it is very sensitive that I cannot move it around the normal way. It always gets stuck at the upper right hand corner and I have to move the pointer with my keyboard keys. Has anyone experienced any such thing? (I have a Matrox Millenium II AGP video card - not that it should matter). My second questions (a simple one I presume) is concerning xdm. How do I turn it on and off?

Try sending it all the way to 19. The default is 1. I did set it to 19 for awhile, but not long enough to decide if I could live with it that way for 2 years.

Re: Symbolic links behaviour
Hello Adam, On Tue, Apr 06, 1999 at 01:09:57PM -0700, Adam Klein wrote: Why don't you just mount the parition under /usr/local? The main reason is because I want to put several directories in the same partition. I create several directories in the partition and then make symbolic links there. For instance /home and /usr/local will be on the same partition. It seems that I will have to go through all the symbolic links and make them absolute. I must figure out some script to do this. :) Regards, -- Ruben Leote Mendes - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Help! ddd says: gdb: cannot open master pty
Hi, I'm trying to run ddd on a Debian box, and I get the following message if I'm not root: bash-2.01$ ddd gdb: cannot open master pty: No such file or directory gdb: communication setup failed ddd starts, but the gdb prompt never appears. If I'm root, things work just fine. If I start gdb alone (even as non root), things work also. The ddd I use is ddd-smotif, and the box is mostly hamm, but as I had this problem, I thought on updating those packages (ddd and gdb) to slink, but that did not help. Any clue?

Re: timezones FAQ
Wayne Topa [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I 'had' the same problem. The only clue I had was to read the manpage for tzconfig. It led me to look at /etc/timezone which contained 'EDT'. It also led me to see what /etc/localtime was pointing to, wonder of wonders, /usr/share/zoneinfo/EDT. As /usr/share/zoneinfo also contains a 'EST5EDT', I simply changed the link (/etc/localtime) from /usr/share/zoneinfo/EDT to /usr/share/zoneinfo/EDT5EST and changed /etc/timeone to EDT5EST, and it fixed the time. Running tzconfig without reading the man page works fine for me. In the past month I have switched time zone quite a few times, which included moving into daylight savings time in two of those time zones. While I read the tzconfig manual, it wasn't necessary.

Re: System Security and Program for editing sysv runlevels
This is to keep this thread active, and to pose another question: I downloaded a program called gRunlevels, but it looked for my rcN.d and init.d stuff in /etc/rc.d. I created a /etc/rc.d directory and symlinked the above files to it. Now gRunlevels works and all my services are displayed. Is this okay? I am not going to mess something up here am I? BTW, can someone tell me how to find out what runlevel Debian ends up at normally, and should I only remove services at that runlevel?
