Projeto de potfiles
Oi gente, parece que já temos um conjunto básico para a Debian em Português (o Manual do Dselect, o de instalacao para as 4 arquiteturas da slink, os boot-floppies quase completo, as notas de lancamento da slink e 4 manuais/tutoriais sendo traduzidos e revisados). A potato (próxima versão da Debian) deve ser congelada no início de novembro e lançada no Natal ou em Janeiro (dependendo do kernel 2.4). Seria interessante que todos esses manuais já estivessem traduzidos e revisados e o boot-floppies já fossem em português. Também pensei que seria interessante que o máximo de programas fossem em português. O máximo de potfiles fossem integrados na potato. Para isso, seria necessário que fosse pesquisado que programas já tem os potfiles, por exemplo, da Conectiva, que não seria necessários traduzir e os que seriam necessários pois só existem na Debian. Outro dia, por exemplo, me espantei com o cfdisk em portugues. :) Seria o caso de cada pessoa pegar o programa que mais usa e ver se já tem potfiles e ajudar. Eu coloco na página uma tabela com o nome das pessoas e um pequeno manual sobre potfiles. Que acham? Abraços,PH

Paulo, eu já sugeri isso, aqui na lista. ;-) Mas o Lalo disse que seria meio difícil incluir potfiles nos pacotes Debian, a não ser que eles já estejam presentes na versão upstream. Esses potfiles seriam então colocados, temporariamente, num eventual pacote potfiles-pt-br (ou l10n-pt-br). Outro dia, por exemplo, me espantei com o cfdisk em portugues. :) Seria o caso de cada pessoa pegar o programa que mais usa e ver se já tem potfiles e ajudar.

Não esqueçam de olhar a página da LDP-BR, para saber o que já foi feito, e o que está sendo feito: http://ldp-br.conectiva.com.br É claro que há alguns programas que são específicos à Debian e logo não estão no LDP-BR, mas devem ser poucos. bye Rafael Caetano [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Dabian 2.9.4
Last time I looked at the LRP project's stuff, they were storing everything on the floppy in a compressed format. Therefore you needed to do some extra work to get the files you're looking for to work with it. There was an HTML page written by one of their developers that helps you get the modules built correctly for whatever kernel you choose. They, like Debian itself, have a Stable and an Unstable release. (But they're NOT related.) Pay very careful attention to the document at : http://www.linuxrouter.org/docs.shtml It covers their special boot process using syslinx to load a kernel that then boots itself in a ramdisk environment and copies the other tar/gz files from the boot media to the ram disk before continuing. The module make I mentioned above made by one of their developers is at: http://www.linuxrouter.org/modmaker ... and the FAQ: http://www.linuxrouter.org/faq Good luck!

Re: dpkg --fsys-tarfile and dpkg --contents contradiction ?
Kain is right. The correct switches are xO. As was mentioned in my message, I was trying to follow the packaging tutorial, which says that start quotation To view the copyright file for a package you could use this command: dpkg --fsys-tarfile filename.deb | tar xof usr/doc/\*copyright | less end quotation As far as I checked it still has the wrong entry (see www.debian.org/doc/pacaking-manuals/packaging.html/ch-binarypkg.html, just before section 2.2).

What is the reasonable performance of a home 10mbps LAN
Hi, there: I have just bought another new computer and built a home LAN using two 10mbps NE2000-pci cards and a hub. It turns to be that the transfer speed between the two computer varies dramatically. Sometimes, it can reach 8mbps for few seconds, and then it slows to about 600kbps or even lower. It may touch 20kbps bottom line. Excessive collision is reported from the hub. And transfer error and receive error can be found by ifconfig.

As others have mentioned, this is not the case. However, also note that there probably SHOULD be a link for each package in each runlevel - changing a package to not start in a runlevel should be done by moving the link to from the appropriate S*name to the appropriate K*name, so that the proper things get stopped going down runlevels. Otherwise, runlevels become non-deterministic - for instance, if I remove the xdm link from runlevels 2 and 3, booting to runlevel 4, then switching to runlevel 3 will result in runlevel 3 with xdm running, while booting to runlevel 3 will result in a runlevel 3 without xdm running. If instead the link is moved to the appropriate K link, switching from runlevel 4 to runlevel 3 kills xdm, and now runlevel 3 is the same, whichever direction you cam from (which is probably the intended behavior). -Larry -- Larry Daffner| Linux: Unleash the workstation in your PC!

Netscape crashing problem possible solve
Hi, After looking a couple of weeks at the threads here in the list about netscape 4.61 crashing with potato I have come up with a solve that actualy works.

I disassembled my own case just to see that I got the letters wrong (I'm using DCAS drives) and that my drives are spec'd for more power-cycles than I usually do by powering down the machine twice a day in more than five years (siesta and night) but also said article told me to immediately get a spare drive of the same series because the newer drives are spec'd for less power-cycles (the really fast ones, that is). I recall only one number exactly, and that was a 1rpm drive by Seagate which is specified for ten years of non-stop operation but for only as few as 4000 power-cycles. (roughly once a day in it's useful lifetime!) so my advice is to check IBMs specs before asking for trouble first.

Wtf? puzzling lock-ups
Hi. As the subject suggests, I get strange freeze-ups on my machine. Yes, it's definitely frozen... I can't ping it from my lan, and nothing responds... no keybd, no mouse, no nothing. This occurs once every couple of weeks. So far I have not been able to get more than 21 days of uptime, since installing Debian 2.1 on this machine in mid-April of this year. The funny thing that I started to notice the last time it locked up is that the system clock jumps when it occurs. I had been noticing funny syslogs in the sense that I would see normal log entries occurring at, let's say, 10:00, then it would lock up and I'd reboot and then I'd see the end of the syslog contain new records that were from 9:45... 15 mins EARLIER. It took me a while to put 2 and 2 together, but I can safely say now that each time the machine freezes, the clocks either skips ahead or behind anywhere from 15-25 minutes, and I have to re-set the time after rebooting. Another interesting thing is this part of my /var/log/syslog file: Aug 11 01:12:55 my_machine pppd[14060]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x60 magic=0x6e5674f0] Aug 11 01:12:55 my_machine pppd[14060]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x60 magic=0x4f4b52b8] Aug 11 01:13:25 my_machine pppd[14060]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x61 magic=0x6e5674f0] Aug 11 01:13:25 my_machine pppd[14060]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x61 magic=0x4f4b52b8] [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ The next log entry from pppd would have occurred 30 seconds after the last one, except this is where my machine froze... and apparently whatever process was writing to the syslog file at the time got screwed and just dumped garbage into it. It MAY only be occurring while X is running, although I can't really verify that since X is always running. The reason I say that though is because the last 3 times this happened, it was while I was dragging windows around or picking items from drop-down lists in Netscape (4.51 Comm). I am running XFree86 3.3.3.1-2 (from netgod.net/x), although this also happened with the stock slink XFree86. I'm on a 2.0.37 kernel... but again this was an issue in 2.0.36 as well. Window manager is Window Maker 0.53. Hardware is a P133, Asus P/I P55T2P4 mobo, 64 MB RAM, NE2000 NIC, Hercules Dynamite 128/Video card (2 MB). Has anyone got any ideas about where I might look for a solution to this? Unfortunately I cannot make this happen at will, it seems to be quite unpredictable. Also, any (free) software I can get that would be able to perform some thorough tests on my RAM and CPU? Perhaps it's one of those ubiquitous hardware issues. Thanks for any assistance provided.
Local users denied write via ftp
Hi all, This is a stupid problem that I am positive is staring me in the face. I have ProFTPD Version 1.2.0pre1 running on a linux 2.2 box. I was uploading fine to my home directory on that machine until today. I managed in a fit of thoughtlessness to changes the ownerships and groups of all the users in my home partition to me. There are not many users of this host, so I went back and changed them all back. However, since that episode I cannot upload to my home directory. I can login and recieve files fine, but cannot upload. I get permission denied messages. Now, I have checked all the permissions in my home dir, and well and the parent directories, and nothing looks out of place. Why can't I upload? I am running a lot of stuff from the unstable potato distribution of debian, but that hasn't been a problem. Any ideas?

Autoloading scsi driver
I have finally got my scsi card hooked up to my scanner, but I have one question: How do I make sure the three modules needed are loaded automatically by the kernel? When accessing the scanner the sg.o and scsi_mod.o modules are autoloaded. The advansys.o module I still have to insert by hand. What line do I put in /etc/modutils/aliases? And is there any way to cut down the amount of time the driver hogs the bus while loading?

Ethernet Problem in router
Hi list: I have an extrange problem which I'll explain shortly. A few weeks ago, our old router (a 486 running Debian 1.something) died. It was the HD. We decided to install a newer pentium with Debian 2.1. The installation went very well. I managed to read the routing tables of the old router using another Debian. So we installed 3 ethernet cards Realtek 8139 PCI (I think that's the right number, but if not, it's the 10/100 Mbps one). The router has to interconnect 2 of our lans (100 BaseT) with our Internet connection (10 BaseT). The router works fine. All the computers reach the Internet (and the other lan) properly. The thing is that after a short period of time (maybe a couple of hours), a funny message shows on the console: eth1: Transmit timeout, status 0d . eth1: Transmit timeout, status 0d . eth1 is the connection to the Internet, and of course, we lose connection through that card. The only solution we have been able to find for that is rebooting the router. We have done nothing special to the system. Not even recompile the kernel. It's just as it ends the installation. Another thing happend in the meantime (but it didn't affect the behavior of the computer). The first times we booted the machine, all the three cards had the same interrupt (10) with different I/O port of course. We thought that that could be the problem, but I don't know how, the BIOS started assigning different interrupts for each (10,11,12). That didn't solve the problem. I hope anyone can help me with that. Thanks in advance. Emilio Emilio Tejedor Escobar Ingeniero Superior de Telecomunicación [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To recap, the problem was that after installing slink, I could boot from the boot floppy, but not from the hard disk. When trying to boot from the hard disk, the system would hang just after the Loading Linux message. The source of the problem is that slink uses, by default, a kernel stored as a bzimage. A perusal of the mailing list archives and other Debian documentation shows that this format is known to be problematic for certain machines. The case that is sited most often is the IBM Tecra laptop, so the problem is often referred to as the tecra problem. Since I wasn't installing on a laptop of any kind, I initially didn't pay much attention to the discussions of the tecra problem. Later, as I got more desperate, I read it more carefully and decided that since my system was hanging up at the stage where the kernel is being uncompressed, this _was_ the likely source of the problem. To solve the problem, I booted from the floppy, ungzipped and untarred the kernel source directory, configured the kernel, and remade the kernel as a zimage rather than a bzimage. After reinstalling the newly-made kernel and modules in the appropriate places (and rerunning lilo just to be sure), the system booted perfectly from the hard drive. Two days of frustration eliminated! Two more things that might be of interest: There is a tecra-specific version of slink that comes on its own cdrom. Before recompiling the kernel, I tried to install the tecra version on a second hard disk, but it wouldn't install. The software couldn't find the kernel image file on the cd, even though it was right where it was supposed to be. I'll have to file a bug report on that. After I got things working, I went into the BIOS to change the boot order back to C,A and saw an interesting setting that allows me to change the behavior of the A20 gate. The default for my machine is to have this setting at Fast, but it can be changed to Normal. Since the tecra problem has something to do with the A20 gate, I suspect that if I had changed this setting to Normal before installing, everything would have been fine. As I now have a working system, I have no desire to test this theory; but if I were to reinstall from scratch again, the first thing I would do is change this setting. -- Mark Lawrence [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Potato broke my samba
Jim, I had a problem with samba 2.0.5a. It required that I upgrade to a 2.2.x kernel. There was another problem that showed up on the list about bad passwords. As you seem to have remade the smbpasswd file, maybe try a 2.2.x kernel. The error I had in the logs was a cannot become user x error followed by authentication errors (bad user name/passwd).

Re: Potato broke my samba
Upgrading the kernel is not necessary. This problem is the maintainers fault (he's been very busy, the fix will come... users who demand a stable system should install only stable distributions or be prepared to fend for themselves as I do) for compiling the executable such that they will only work with 2.2.x kernels. This is a documented bug (#40645, logged by yours truly). Next time I advise checking the Bug Reports for a package before asking on the list. I've got fixed packages which you are free to get. Just add the following line to the end of /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://gatekeeper.bdsinc.com/~jjorgens/debian ./ Although it looks like at the moment I'm behind in a release so these packages would be ignored. You can still download them manually and install with dpkg --install. I'll probably rebuild the packages today to bring them up to the current version since it looks like the bug is still present.

Re: Mylex DAC960
Installing Debian on a system with a DAC960 is not easy. I've done it several times, *by hand*, using the Debian rescue disk only to get a shell prompt. Let me repeat that it is very difficult, and I wouldn't be able to walk you through it. It works wonderfully once installed, however. I would suggest that the easy way to do this is to put in an IDE drive temporarily, install Debian onto it, get it so it sees the DAC960, and then move everything over to the DAC960 disk and remove the IDE drive.

Re: Potato broke my samba
Jens, I am sorry that I seem to have upset you by posting to the list. I have spent some hours time attempting to find a solution before posting although this does not extend to looking into the source or the packages but in testing a number of different configuration files and working throught the supplied diagnostics and documentation. I will take your advice and check for bug reports in the future. However, my assumption throughout was that the most likely problem was me being stupid user which is why I did not assume it was a problem with the maintainer. For this reason I would not and did not mail the maintainer about problems like this before checking that I am correct via the list. Anyway the good news is that the solution suggested by Jim has worked fine for me, switching to a 2.2.10 kernel has meant that samba has started working loverely again. I don't mind moving to a 2.2 kernel at all. So this solution does not worry me. Thanks Dave -- David Warnock Sundayta Ltd

So far I have not been able to get more than 21 days of uptime, since installing Debian 2.1 on this machine in mid-April of this year. This sound VERY familiar! I have had the samething, but I could ping my box for some crazy reason and ipmasq still worked. I couldn't telnet in, though. The funny thing that I started to notice the last time it locked up is that the system clock jumps when it occurs. I had been noticing funny syslogs in the sense that I would see normal log entries occurring at, let's say, 10:00, then it would lock up and I'd reboot and then I'd see the end of the syslog contain new records that were from 9:45... 15 mins EARLIER. It took me a while to put 2 and 2 together, but I can safely say now that each time the machine freezes, the clocks either skips ahead or behind anywhere from 15-25 minutes, and I have to re-set the time after rebooting.

network aliasing situation
Hi all, I'm setting up a machine here to take over the job of our firewall temporarily. The firewall has two network cards but the new machine has only one. I recompiled the 2.2.10 kernel with ip-aliasing support, and the network will be one electrically when we make the switch. My questions are; 1. Is it possible to assign multiple ipx networks to the same card on two different interfaces? Both networks run EtherII but I'm not sure if you can run them both on the same card. 2. I know I compiled in ip-aliasing support, and I'm using the same ifconfig and route commands that work on other machines for ip-aliasing, but the aliased addresses aren't working from other machines on the network. Is there any reason other than a bad kernel for this? Thanks in advance, Dan DeMond [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ps-please cc any responses to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
magicfilter and 1200 dpi

BTW, apsfilter has a 1200 dpi filter, but it didn't work quite well (t.ex. `man -t printcap | lpr' got the printer working eternally, but without any output -- the same with an LJ III with PS cartridge), so that's not an alternative).

Weird swap growth
Hi, I am running Debian potato on a box with 128 MB RAM. My swap file is 64 MB. This was the size I got recommended when partitioned the disk. Lately I have my swap getting dangerously full while I still have a lot of free memory. Even when I close almost all programs the swap file stays filled up. What might cause this? Should I use Partition Magic and resize my swap partition, or is my 64 MB normally enough for a system like mine?

Screwed up my alternatives
Hi, a few days ago I had all kinds of Netscape trouble. I decided to remove evey trace of it and resinstall. I even removed to netscape file in /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives. After I had re-sintalled the only way I can start Netscape is to do: /usr/lib/netscape/461/navigator/navigator-smotif.real What must I do to get the Netscape alternatives reinstated?

[SOLVED] Re: Any help with Realtek RTL8139 ?
Nils Rennebarth wrote: Could someone give me the options I should use to force it to 10 MBits ? Use the driver as a module, don't use a driver compiled directly into the kernel (Or use lilo to pass options to the driver but I won't describe that here) Then use the line rtl8139 options=0x02 full_duplex=1 The 0x02 comes from the following definition: I also tried forcing it to 10Mbit but it seems it doesn't really force. Meanwhile the problem is already solved and what I did was: - Run an application(for DOS) which came with Network Cards and save the EPROM from each one to 10Mbit instead of Autodetecting. - One network card was already set up to 10 Mbits but the another one was as Autodetecting - that's the problem. - If I was able to get 100Mbits maybe it had worked. Conclusion: network cards had both the 10Mbit LED ligth but they weren't forcing to those speed. Thanks for all your help. Best regards, Nuno Carvalho
dpkg -S

As you can see, it didn't help me any. I ran it again after installing ncurses3.0 (which happened to be the right package) and it worked: picard:~# dpkg -S libncurses.so.3.0 ncurses3.0: /lib/libncurses.so.3.0 As such, it seems that dpkg -S only works on packages that are already installed. Is there something I can use to determine which package needs to be installed when a program complains about a particular file? Thanks, Patrick Olson
pppd[256]: tcgetattr: Input/output error(5) ?
Fellow debian users, I just upgraded my laptop (Dell Inspiron 3.5K) from 2.0 to 2.1. Upgrade went smoothly apart from one problem. Previously my ppp setup worked like a charm. Now I get the following error when calling pon : Aug 12 09:28:58 csnote pppd[256]: pppd 2.3.5 started by csoelle, uid 1000 Aug 12 09:28:58 csnote pppd[256]: tcgetattr: Input/output error(5) Aug 12 09:28:59 csnote pppd[256]: Exit. I checked that the setup files are still correct. I have kept my custom compiled 2.0.34 kernel so far and did an 'update-modules' after converting files to the new modutils layout. My ethernet PCMCIA card is still working fine with the new setup. Any hints where to start looking for the problem? Christian -- Christian Soeller[EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept. of Physiology U.

That should be plenty for 'normal' use. If you have a particularly high intensity server you may need more. Lately I have my swap getting dangerously full while I still have a lot of free memory. Even when I close almost all programs the swap file stays filled up. Yeah, it does that. Don't pay any attention to it. When something gets swapped out, it doesn't get swapped in again until it needs to run. So if you have something installed that runs in the background that you don't really use it will tend to wind up in the swap sooner or later, where it will stay. If you are more specific (i.e. what your definition of almost all is) maybe someone can shed more light on the subject. You might also check with ps and find out how much memory is being used by your various programs. With 128MB of RAM you should almost never need the swapfile in the first place, unless you are doing something with really big files that might use it all up.

Grab debian/dists/dist/{main,contrib,non-free}/Contents-yourarch.gz .
It may be in a slightly different place, but that should be what you need.

WARNING: APT removes bash on slink upgrade
Package: bash Version: 2.02.1-1.5 Hi all, The current bash/libreadline dependencies in potato are formed in an conflicts/pre-depends loop that causes APT to remove bash, install libreadlineg2 and then try to reinstall bash (which fails because bash needs bash to install [remove actually]..) Newer APTs were supposed to warn about this situation, but even that seems broken - so be carefull! This is due to a recent bash NMU which now pre-depends on the potato libreadlineg2 which conflicts with the slink bash. Bash -MUST- be re-uploaded with the proper changes made so that it can exist with the slink libreadlineg2 ASAP. Jason
libXmu problems
hello everybody. trying to compile wmfinder, i get this: checking for main in -lXmu... no configure: error: It seems libXmu is missing ! any help to fix that ? :) thank you!
Re: dpkg -S
Grab debian/dists/dist/{main,contrib,non-free}/Contents-yourarch.gz .

Thanks for the info (and the quick reply). I grabbed
ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/stable/Contents-i386.gz
I think it has all three (main,contrib,non-free). It works perfectly:
$ grep libncurses.so.3.0 Contents-i386
lib/libncurses.so.3.0 oldlibs/ncurses3.0
This is exactly what I need.
Thanks again,

Sometimes the partitions you create will be on the same physical hard drive, sometimes on different HDs. The usual (and recommended) approach is that a particular partition on a particular drive will be home to a particular sub-tree: for instance you may have created /dev/hdb2 to contain /home and then, when the system boots, /dev/hdb2 gets mounted onto /home. However, this aproach has the disadvantage that the association between logical sub-tree and phyical disk-space is, as it were, carved in stone. If it turns out, for instance, that you under-estimated the space required for /home, then you have some retructuring to do. yes, a problematic area for newbies. Although the advantages of speed (when partitions are split across multiple disks)/ and the oft-quoted reason of not taking the whole system down if the mail spool gets very full etc. make this a good way of doing it. -- ,-.
