Hola, He conseguido instalar el sistema operativo Linux sobre una partición de un PC con sistema windows NT.

Mi resumen del foro de Debian
-Mensaje original- De: Jordi [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: lunes 8 de noviembre de 1999 3:47 Para: Llista Debian Asunto: Re: Freeze de Potato Sería interesante que alguien hiciese un resumen de lo que se trató y eso... más que nada para los que lamentamos no haber llegado a tiempo, saber un poco que pasó. Pues a grandes rasgos y según mi punto de vista: 0) Jesús M. González-Barahona (Jesús a secas de ahora en adelante ;D), como moderador del foro, dio una pequeña introducción a Debian, por qué es la más libre de las distribuciones, por qué es la más democrática, etc... 1) Bajó coacción };) de Jesús habló Santiago Vila (desarrollador de Debian) explicando * El sistema de desarrollo de distribuciones Debian: - el proceso de congelación: unos meses durante los que sólo se corrigen fallos a la distribución y no se admiten ni añadidos de paquetes ni nuevas versiones de los mismos) - las fiestas de debug, en las que se juntan en el irc los desarrolladores y se dedican a corregir bugs a toda pastilla - el estado de la 2.2 unstable: tenía como 300 bugs y en la última debug-fest corrigieron como 70, Santiago era de la opinión de que congelarla ahora sería repentino con esa cantidad de bugs y planteaba la pregunta de si en esa debug-fest se habrían corregido los 70 más fáciles, de manera que corregir el resto podría no ser tan sencillo (bueno, el habló de progresiones lineales o exponenciales, sacando su vena informática :) ). * El problema de la no aceptación de nuevos desarrolladores en Debian: Debian había cerrado la puerta a la inclusión de nuevos desarrolladores y ponía como solución el sistema de mentores por el que un desarrollador se convierte en tutor de un candidato a desarrollador, al cabo de un tiempo y cuando el candidato ha demostrado su valía (corrigiendo bugs, etc...), el candidato se le promueve a desarrollador. Santiago comentaba que el problema era que ese sistema obligaba a tener dos personas para corregir la misma cosa (al candidato y al mentor que vigile al candidato). 2) Estaban por ahí los de Agora (los canarios que llevan la distribución Citius, una Debian castellanizada con algunos añadidos), que habían traido bastantes (que no suficientes XD) copias de su Citius para repartir entre el público (al final hubo desbandada general para ver quién pillaba su copia de Citius :)) ) y yo les pregunté lo que se comentó por la lista sobre si se puede copiar así como así la Citius (alguien soltó por ahí que los que no consiguiesen copia de la Citius, que las copiasen del resto, por lo que me pareció importante aclarar este tema). Los de Agora (perdón, pero no sé quién habló, aunque fue de los pocos que se identificó O:/ y de hecho propuso que cada uno que hablase se identificase para que nos conociésemos) dijeron que el CD de Debian podía copiarse sin restricciones, pero que los otros CDs que contenían software de terceros con los que habían llegado a acuerdos, ya era otro cantar. Dijeron que en el futuro pensaban seguir en esta línea, diferenciando los CDs de Debian de los suyos añadidos (comentaron que estaban en negociaciones con diversas compañías para ofrecer distintos productos, etc) para que así cualquiera pueda copiarse los CDs iniciales, dejando claro que la calidad de la copia de una Citius ya no quedaría tan asegurada como con los suyos originales. También dijeron que aquellas Citius eran las últimas que quedaban y que habían tenido un éxito rotundo ya que habían agotado todas las existencias, y que en vez de sacar una hornada de Citius slink, preferían esperar a la Potato. 3) Después, nuestro carismático Richard Stallman particular, Jesús (si no pudísteis asistir a la conferencia sobre software libre que dio, os perdísteis lo mejor de Hispalinux, si necesitáis a alguien para que os dé una conferencia al respecto o convencer al más recalcitrante, os lo recomiendo encarecidamente) pidió ayuda para mantener las páginas españolas de Debian, llevar a cabo proyectos relacionados e involucrar más a la gente en todo esto (revitalizar la otra lista debian española, que ahora no recuerno cuál es) ... Quedó con algunos de los que se ofrecieron voluntarios para ayudar a la causa, creo que hubo una reunión posterior, pero a esa ya no asistí (yo hasta que no haga mi PFC no me involucro en nada, que si no mi madre me pega ;D ). 4) Hubo diversas intervenciones del público, quejándose del dselect (el omnipresente Javi Polo), defendiendo al apt, alguna mención a lo de stupid users are bad (Santiago dijo que no estaba escrito en ninguna parte que Debian fuese una distribución sólo para entendidos), etc. En fin, que lo peor del foro fue lo poco que duró :). En mi opinión tendría que darse más relevancia a los foros en Hispalinux, ya que es lo realmente importante, porque las ponencias quién más o quién menos puede releerlas

Quisiera saber si existe algún modo de comunicación entre ambos sistemas de forma que pueda visualizar algunos ficheros de un sistema en el otro. Necesitas un kernel con soporte para NTFS. Probablemente tengas que recompilar el kernel que tienes (los kernels normales no suelen estar compilados con soporte NTFS), por lo que tendrás que instalar el paquete con el código fuente del kernel, y activar las opciones avanzadas o en desarrollo. Además, en el apartado filesystems, activa (ya sea como módulo o linkado estáticamente) el soporte de lectura para NTFS (se recomienda no activar el soporte de escritura en NTFS, ya que como te digo es una característica en desarrollo). Por otra parte, consigo navegar por los distintos directorios dentro del directorio raiz de linux, pero, ¿cómo puedo acceder al contenido de la disketera o del cdrom y copiar archivos a otras ubicaciones? Tienes que montarlos. Para montar la disketera puedes hacer (suponiendo que el directorio /mnt/floppy exista y tengas un diskette en la disketera) mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy y puedes acceder al diskette accediendo al directorio /mnt/floppy. Para el CD, depende de a qué puerto IDE y en qué modo lo tengas conectado. Yo tengo el mío como esclavo del IDE primario, por lo que hago mount /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom y accedo por él desde /mnt/cdrom Más info en man mount y para copiar, con el comando cp (man cp). Como se te ve algo verde ;), te recomiendo que te pilles la Guía de Instalación y Primeros Pasos que tienes en Lucas http://lucas.hispalinux.es/htmls/manuales.html, aprovecha para bajarte también los otros manuales.

Bitchx, Mutt, MC y latin1
Hola, el otro dia borré sin querer un mensaje que guarde para contestar. Alguien preguntaba porqué Mutt, BitchX y MC no le mostraba caracteres de latin1, etc. En Mutt a mi me va bien, por lo que supongo que es culpa del medit, En MC será por el mismo problema que tenga el medit, tal como contestó Miquel. Sobre BitchX, me preguntó si había mandado un bug. La respuesta es no, no lo mandé porque ya está reportado: #46965: bitchx: BitchX does not use Latin-1 Package: bitchx; Reported by: Jacobo Tarrio [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 30 days old. #47581: bitchx: bitchx is not compiled with LATIN1 defined Package: bitchx; Reported by: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 22 days old.

REVISION/TRADUCCION
Estimados Amigos, En este momento existen muchos trabajos, ya traducidos, que se encuentran por revisar. Desde aquí os animo a todos a ir revisando alguno de ellos. En estos casos, tampoco hay que aceptarlo cómo si fuera un trabajo sino por ejemplo, si alguien desea montar un servidor IRC, puede seguir servidor-irc.sgml y probar si lo que se dice hay está bien explicado y están bien los comandos. Siguiendo las normas de la casa, LuCAS, os exhorto en escribir los textos en sgml. Cualquier persona que se encuentre interesada, ruego sea tan amable de enviarme un correo electrónico y le enviaré sin ninguna dilación el fichero que le interese revisar. Una vez revisado, nosotros en un plazo de 24/48 horas, verificaremos y enviaremos un correo electrónico de aceptación. En este caso, traducimos el sgml a diferentes formatos. En otro plazo de 24/48 intentaremos introducirlo en nuestra Web: lucas.hispalinux.es Sé que muchos de nosotros trabajamos, estudiamos y a veces las dos cosas cómo también hacemos más cosas. Pero rogamos que la gente que desee revisar y qué por cualquier motivo debe dejarlo, nos lo notifique de cara de llevar un control exhaustivo de la revisión. Para cualquier duda o consulta, por favor, remitiros a [EMAIL PROTECTED] Os animo a emprender este maravilloso trabajo que mucha gente os agradecerá enternamente. Si alguien se encuentra revisando alguno de los siguientes Howtos, ruego nos lo comunique por razones de gestionar mejor las traducciones y revisiones. En caso, de tener traducciones o revisiones ya hechas, ruego que nos lo indique y si lo envía a [EMAIL PROTECTED] procederemos a verificación y colocación en la Web: lucas.hispalinux.es El objetivo que nos hemos marcado es doble, ser la mayor biblioteca en español dedicada a GNU/LiNUX de todo el planeta y tratar de ayudar a nuestros traductores/revisores lo antes posible.

Si no te importa, me gustaría enviar una copia de este mensaje a la lista de la organización, al menos de esta parte. ¿Me dejas? (emiliame) La parte técnica y de organización rayaron a gran altura, pero, como critica constructiva, afirmo que la parte personal se desarrolló fuera del congreso. Eso se podría intentar corregir ... Tanto el foro de Debian como el de los LUGs locales (los dos a los que asistí) fueron excesivamente cortos, por problemas de que cerraban la universidad de Carlos III, quizás en futuras ocasiones habría que pedir permiso para que se pudiesen alargar. En el foro de Debian no pude estar con gran pesar de mi corazon, puesto que estuve en el del LDP-es. En el de la documentación estuvimos 10 o 12 personas, y no es cosa de risa puesto que el asunto no está muy boyante que digamos, así que también habría que no solapar los foros. Con lo cual volvemos al problema del año pasado: no hay tiempo. Entonces, quizás, es cuestión de priorizar intereses. Con las ganas que habia de conocernos entre todos, solo este proceso se hubiera tomado un par de dias :) Ah! y yo propondría que el foro de LUGs se dedicase más tiempo y se realizase lo antes posible, ya que uno de los problemas de Hispalinux es que nadie se conoce de cara y el foro de LUGs es un buen LUGar para presentarse y que todo el mundo sepa quién es quién, y no estar por ahí y por allá desperdigados en grupitos sin conocer a nadie.

Habrá que terminar lo que se empezó por correo electrónico, que no es lo mismo pero que es lo que hay. Sencillamente se quedó lo más importante en el tintero, y hubo que cortar en mitad de la polémica. Claro, así va a quedar todo un poco opaco, y no con la comunidad delante, que es como hay que hacer las cosas :-( ¡¡¡ De oportunidad perdida NADA !!! Despues de acabar el congreso, en la Free Beer, nos vimos casi todos los representantes de grupos locales que asistimos al congreso. Tuvimos una reunión de unas dos horas de duración. ¡¡¡ Una reunión HISTORICA !!! En esa reunión, de marcado caracter positivista, discutimos sobre como vertebrar el movimiento de la comunidad linuxera de forma efectiva. Se lanzaron criticas contra Hispalinux, pero tambien se aportaban posibles soluciones a nuestros problemas como colectivo. En cualquier caso, lo importante es que los representantes que asistimos al congreso tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer nuestras lineas de pensamiento de primera mano y esto si que era importante, ya que detras nuestro existen muchos más usuarios. En cualquier caso, se ha abierto una puerta al dialogo entre las directivas de los diferentes grupos de usuarios, de manera que existe la clara posibilidad de llegar a coordinarnos de manera real. Este es un viejo sueño hecho realidad :) Si este correo lo leyera cualquier miembro de cualquier grupo de usuarios de linux español que no haya estado representado en Hispalinux, creo que seria bueno que se pusiera en contacto bien con Javier Cantero o bien conmigo mismo. A los que asistieron en persona como representantes de los grupos, decirles que no se ha parado nada, simplemente que tocaba descansar un poco :) En breve, recibiran alguna noticia (via mail) para continuar las conversaciones ... Respecto a hacerlo lo antes posible, tienes toda la razón, lo que pasa es que yo lo había pensado al revés: dales tiempo para que se conozcan poco a poco, para que charlen entre ellos, y luego que el Foro sirva de puesta en común - exposición final - resumen de todo.

La disquetera y el cd-rom tienes que montarlos bajo un punto de montaje, asi veras el cdrom como otro directorio dentro de la estructura igual que el floppy. Prueba con $ mount /dev/hdc /mnt -t iso9660 (Si tu cdrom es el dipositivo hdc naturalmente, -t iso9660 es el formato) esto lo puedes incluir en el fichero /etc/fstab para poder montarlo automaticamente (para más información $ man fstab). Copiar desde el cdrom hacia otras ubicaciones es igual que copiar entre directorios normales o al floppy. $ cp /mnt/directorio.cdrom /home/jonny/java/ Por ejemplo. Saludos.

It's been a while, but so far as I remember, the 2940U2W (AIC7890) is not supported by the drivers in slink (slink is about the same age as the AIC7890, give or take), and you'll either need to build a kernel either with the 7890 drivers patched in, or get one recent enough to support it without patching. Unfortunately this makes booting from the slink CD rather difficult. When I did it, I installed onto an IDE disk, built a kernel to suit the 7890, used cpio to copy the system over onto the SCSI drive, set LILO up, and finally removed the IDE drive.

Can't print from one Debian machine to another
In the past I've been able to print from one Debian 2.1 box to another Debian 2.1 box without difficulty. However I recently reinstalled Debian on the server machine, and can't do any printing from remote machines unless I'm using Samba. I'd like to know what's going on so I can get back to a normal configuration involving just lpr/lpd. The error given on the workstation side is: rs229038: /usr/sbin/lpd: lp: Your host does not have line printer access The Workstation setup: Debian 2.1 / kernel 2.3.25 Machine IP: 130.108.229.32 /etc/printcap looks like: lp|dj870|HP DeskJet 870Cse:\ :lp=:\ :rm=130.108.229.38:\ :rp=lp:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: The server box: Debian 2.1 / kernel 2.2.13 Machine IP: 130.108.229.38 /etc/hosts.allow has: ALL: 130.108.229 /etc/hosts.lpd has: ALL: 130.108.229 Printing on the server machine itself works fine, so the /etc/printcap there should be OK.

Re: installation and such
Mock Ko wrote: I'm pretty much now at the give-up point in trying to install debian. No need to, IMHO. This is indeed a very hard thing for me to do, since I used to install 68k bsd systems manually (building scripts to mknod all the devices and such). I used to install Linux using Slackware distribution; IMO Debian is a lot easier. I have now downloaded the ENTIRE debian tree, hoping that would help, but all I've done is waste download time. Indeed. ... This is now my 6th attempt at installing debian. I have so far not made it past the dselect phase even once. I think using dselect could be a confusing phase for Debian beginners. It is pretty useful because it has descriptions that give you some picture about what you want to install. But I think, apt-get is much more easier, especially if you already know the packages you'd like to have. I installed Debian on a SparcClassic several days ago; I was about lost in space, but fortunately this mailing-list talks a lot about apt-get, so I tried it. Besides, all I want to have is several Internet daemons like sendmail, apache, fetchmail, etc.; so I think that directly using apt-get would be easier than dselect. It's easier, indeed, all I have to do is to lookup www.debian.org looking for available packages and then type: apt-get install sendmail (for installing the mail server). The cute thing about apt-get is that, if the connection get disconnected (I did that via a modem), the next retry will start right where you left it; a nice way of minimizing download time due to errors in comm. link. My only concern is that Debian base-install doesn't include telnetd; I'm not sure why. It seems that Debian wants to make sure that the installers know what they are doing with telnetd; without including it in the distribution, there's a little chance that telnetd would be sitting there unconfigured. But I had expected that telnetd would have been there (in the base-install), and when I figured it out that it wasn't, I jumped into conclusion that Debian was a Windows NT look-alike. All I want to do is install a base system with tcp-ip and ipx networking, dhcpcd, X, and a basic window manager, so that I can go and get the latest kde, run some kind of GUI package manager, and then install any other things as I need them. Just take a look at www.debian.org and see all available packages, mark what you need (type them down if you need to). Then, login to root on your Debian machine and type: apt-get install your_package You don't need to type in the version numbers, just the name of the package (no .deb either). Is there any way I can do this with Debian, or should I be seeking a different distribution? Well, feel free to do so, but I think apt-get is pretty cool. It's worth to mention also that it takes 11 floppies to get a bootable (from harddisk) system (it may take 30+ floppies for other systems). Oki
Re: updating of CMOS clock

The only option in my system's BIOS related to time is : Standard CMOS Setup - {Date, Time} Thats what the poster wanted you to change. However, I myself would do the following: 1.

GMT= (I think this has changed for potato). 2. Now updated you CMOS clock by typing in: /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh stop at least a similar procedure worked for me, and means you don't have to manually reenter the time anywhere (really dumb idiotic off-topic question - is it possible to setup Windoze so that it will work when the CMOS clock is GMT?

replacing the standard mta with qmail (Re: Question about dselect)
Hi, On Sun, 7 Nov 1999, Bastard Operator From Hell wrote: I recently replaced exim with qmail as that is what I have to administer at work and I would rather glitch something up at home vs on-the-job. There is some additional effort required to install qmail, you have to compile your own debs, as the licence prohibits distributing those. Because of this, dselect doesn't know about the qmail debs in the same way as it knows about the regular debs from the debian archive. Slight problem though, when I removed exim, dselect also wanted to remove all of my MTA and mail related packages (i.e.: af, anacron, at, elm-me+, fmirror, logrotate, mailx and mutt), so of course, I exited the Select phase of dselect with the Q option to force it to ignore the depends. You should not use dselect to replace your mta. Dselect is a great tool to manage dependencies, but in this case, you really want to _work_around_ dependencies, making dselect the wrong tool for this particular job. You can not (easily anyway[1]) use dselect to install qmail, because there is no archive containing pre-built qmail.deb. [1] Okay, so you can actually use dselect with non-regular archives, but it's not worth doing in this case anyway. This is what you want to do: 1. get qmail source and build a deb: apt-get install qmail-src cd qmail-src-* fakeroot debian/rules binary cd .. ( 1a. maybe do the same for ucspi-tcp-src:) 2. carefully remove the old mta, while disregarding other packages dependencies: dpkg --force-depends --remove exim 3. install the qmail.deb (perhaps also ucspi-tcp*deb): dpkg --install qmail*deb That's all there should be to it. Now, you can continue using dselect for all you daily updates and standard package installations and removals. The only package that it cannot update automatically is qmail, because there is no qmail.deb in the archive. If you decide however to keep qmail-src.deb installed on your system, you will be able to notice every update of that package. You can then rebuild a local qmail.deb and install it manually. This time, there are no force flags needed to dselect. Notice that when you run dselect, it will show the installed status of the qmail package, but it knows only the installed version, not the available version, because there is no official archive version of the qmail.deb. For the same reason, dselect classifies the package as Obsolete/local Unclassified packages without a section. This is nothing to worry about. Imagine my surprise when deselect informed me that it would be removing the packages that I _thought_ I had forced to stay installed. Are you sure that wasn't _apt_ telling you that? Apt has a mind of its own (which is usually a good thing) about resolving dependencies and conflicts. It makes similar calculations about package dependencies as dselect, because it has to know in what order best to install the downloaded packages. Most of the time, this behaviour is a feature. In your case, it interferes with what you're trying to do. At least dselect will let you override dselect's opinion of packages to be (de)selected, apt is more strict in these things and won't be overridden AFAIK[2]. [2] Then again, I didn't read all of the apt documentation that meticulously yet, YMMV Now, this doesn't hurt me too badly as I am capable of manually installing software, but it does mean that the automatic check for critical updates, etc. that dselect does are now unavailable on this system. This is unnecessary when done right. You only lose the ability to automatically update qmail.deb. All other packages (including qmail-src.deb) will still be upgradable using dselect, as usually. I'm posting to the devel list since this seems to be a problem with dselect rather than operator error (or at least the RTFM on the man pages, HOWTO's and user/devel list archives didn't turn up anything usefull). I'm adding debian-user to the cc:, since I figure this isn't the first time and probably isn't the last time either that dpkg/dselect/apt confuse people, not in the least because many aspects aren't very well documented. Cheers, Joost
Creating contrib/non-free/non-us cd
Hi! Since the official cd images only contain the 'main' archive, I would like to create a similar cd, useable by dselect/apt, for the contrib, non-free and non-us parts of Debian, since the machine that Debian is to be installed on does not have a network connection.

Re: replacing the standard mta with qmail (Re: Question about dselect)
On Mon, 8 Nov 1999, Joost Kooij wrote: Hi, On Sun, 7 Nov 1999, Bastard Operator From Hell wrote: I recently replaced exim with qmail as that is what I have to administer at work and I would rather glitch something up at home vs on-the-job. There is some additional effort required to install qmail, you have to compile your own debs, as the licence prohibits distributing those. Because of this, dselect doesn't know about the qmail debs in the same way as it knows about the regular debs from the debian archive. You can alway create a local package repository with which you can use dselect. It is quite easy, to tell the truth: 1. create a directory B in any directory A. 2. put all packages you have built in directory B. Don't maintain section hierarchy. If you want to, then use the appropriate switch for dpkg-scanpackages in step 4. 3. put the following line in /etc/apt/sources.list: deb file:/A/ B/ (of course replace A and B, and keep the space before B) 4. cd A dpkg-scanpackages B /dev/null B/Packages Execute step 4. if you have put or taken any packages to/from the directory B. After this you can switch to apt retrieve method in dselect, and it will see your packages. Probably you should download the latest apt for your distribution. It is somewhere around 0.3.10slink11 for slink and I don't know where I got it from. For potato just download it from the debian mirror of your choice. Slight problem though, when I removed exim, dselect also wanted to remove all of my MTA and mail related packages (i.e.: af, anacron, at, elm-me+, fmirror, logrotate, mailx and mutt), so of course, I exited the Select phase of dselect with the Q option to force it to ignore the depends. You should not use dselect to replace your mta. Dselect is a great tool to manage dependencies, but in this case, you really want to _work_around_ dependencies, making dselect the wrong tool for this particular job. You can not (easily anyway[1]) use dselect to install qmail, because there is no archive containing pre-built qmail.deb. You can do it the way I described previously. You just select exim for purging and select qmail and ucspi-tcp for installing. You should probably install dot-forward as well if you have users with .forward files. Take care to use ucspi-tcp 0.84 for qmail 1.03. ... That's all there should be to it. Now, you can continue using dselect for all you daily updates and standard package installations and removals. The only package that it cannot update automatically is qmail, because there is no qmail.deb in the archive. It does not really evolve too fast anyway :) ... Notice that when you run dselect, it will show the installed status of the qmail package, but it knows only the installed version, not the available version, because there is no official archive version of the qmail.deb. For the same reason, dselect classifies the package as Obsolete/local Unclassified packages without a section. This is nothing to worry about. It does not come up if you create a proper local repository :) Robert Varga

Exim PPP localhost and me
Hello, I am running Debian Potato with Exim version 3.03 #1 built 04-Aug-1999; my problems stem from local mail delivery. Whenever I try to send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], exim seems to strip the localhost and replace it with the remotehost-- making it [EMAIL PROTECTED] Because I am using PPP my domain name does not have an '.com, .net etc', so it is just 'hostname'. The weird thing is that if there is a system error, ie. someone trying sudo when they don't have permissions to do so, exim is used to send mail to localhost and successfully does that. The problem happens when any user, including root, tries to send mail to another user on the local host. Any ideas on how I can fix this? TIA Matt

Hi, this is for those who met the same errors I just have this kind of problem; I was scared about a HD failure, as many mails are talking about. Since it is an 8 months HD, I was quite sure is was not a failure. So I opened the beast and had a look: it was simply the power supply connector of this HD, which was a bit loosen, and, thus, giving a bad connection, especially when the HD was working vibrating hard... I tighten the four circular connectors, and now its working perfectly. As I seen, every other supply connectors where in this state (might be all the tests I made, plugging unplugging many times); so before buying a new HD, check this :) JY -- Jean-Yves F.
