¿Alguien me puede decir cómo se configuraba el lilo.conf para hacer que

Creo que primero debería ir lo de linux, y los de DOS lo pones como other

  que Mutt ya se instala ;)
 
 no entiendo esto, supongo que se te ha quedado algo a medias ;-) ¿que
 ya se instala qué? ¿la versión 1.0?

mutt_1.0.0-1 utilizaba la versión de Slang antigua, así que a la gente que
tiene potato al día le daba error de dependecias. Con la segunda revisión ya
se ha eliminado este problema.

  Siento muchísimo no haber podido asistir al Foro de Debian, ni tampoco a la
  quedada-clausura del sábado tarde/noche. Según leo en barrapunto, fuisteis
  100 personas aproximadamente, que lujazo!
 
 algunos te echamos de menos ;-) no recuerdo si al final quedó alguien
 encargado de meter un resumen de lo que se habló a la lista: ¿lo iba a
 hacer alguien?  Porque merece la pena que se comente lo que se habló
 allí, salieron propuestas para hacer a esta lista y todo: fue
 realmente interesante, y un verdadero acontecimiento en la comunidad
 Debian, ya que no creo que haya sucedido muchas veces juntarnos más de
 cien personas interesadas en Debian (además en un congreso sobre
 software libre, que es el sitio natural para hablar de Debian, no en
 el SIMO o algo así); yo creo que ninguno esperábamos vernos tantos
 allí, y por lo que parece había bastantes participantes de esta lista.

probado,  uno de  ellos el  de presentación  que viene  con la

Me dice que vaya a la web de errores y mire el error 1, que no

Y por STDERR me sale:

Mi resumen del foro de Debian

1999-11-08 Thread Tejada Lacaci, Antonio

 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

 Hola,
 
   He conseguido instalar el sistema operativo Linux sobre una
 partición de un PC con sistema windows NT. 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. 
Es posible que algunos o todos te vengan con tu distribución, el
directorio /usr/doc/HOWTO es una gran fuente de información.

Bitchx, Mutt, MC y latin1

1999-11-08 Thread Jordi
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. 

En fin, es bastante facil descomentar el soporte para latin1 en el makefile,
pero yo no puedo hacer un non-maintainer upload :)

REVISION/TRADUCCION

1999-11-08 Thread Ángel Carrasco
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.

Recibid un cordial saludo.

estoy totalmente de acuerdo con esto. Como este tipo de eventos no
pueden ser muy frecuentes, habría que priorizar todo lo que tenga que
ver con el encuentro o intercambio personal -foros y demás- y a
aquellas cosas que no son sustituibles vía telemática (como las
firmas PGP). Parece que lo más interesante ocurre siempre en los
pasillos, en los descansos, en las comidas o en las citas de

más adecuado que la barra de la cafetería.

(Y que no se entienda esto como una crítica al Congreso Hispalinux,
que me pareció extraordinario, ni es que no valore las ponencias que
hubo -algunas realmente brillantes-, sino una sugerencia para darle
más relevancia a los foros en futuros encuentros de este tipo.)

  jeje, de haberlo sabido dos días antes nos hubiéramos ahorrado un buen
  rato de discusión sobre el tema en el foro de Debian que hubo en el
  Hispalinux. De todas formas, estuvo bien para conocer de primera mano
  los argumentos a favor y en contra de congelarla ahora.

La oportunidad de vernos las caras valió la discursión O:-)
 
 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.

Cierto :)
  algunos te echamos de menos ;-) no recuerdo si al final quedó alguien
  encargado de meter un resumen de lo que se habló a la lista: ¿lo iba a
  hacer alguien?  Porque merece la pena que se comente lo que se habló
  allí, salieron propuestas para hacer a esta lista y todo: fue
  realmente interesante, y un verdadero acontecimiento en la comunidad
  Debian, ya que no creo que haya sucedido muchas veces juntarnos más de
  cien personas interesadas en Debian (además en un congreso sobre
  software libre, que es el sitio natural para hablar de Debian, no en
  el SIMO o algo así); yo creo que ninguno esperábamos vernos tantos
  allí, y por lo que parece había bastantes participantes de esta lista.
 
 Venga, a ver si es verdad que alguien se curra un resumen!

Un resumen de dos palabras: IM PREZIONANTE   :)

 momento en el que el reloj nos cortó. Si el público pudiera haber seguido
 interviniendo y preguntando...

Lamento profundamente no ser 'multipersona', ya que me hubiera
gustado asistir a la charla de Jesús. Sin embargo, tuve la suerte de poder
estar charlando con él durante unos minutos: Buena gente :)
 
  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 en el web y sin embargo juntar a la gente que se juntó allí es
  difícil de hacer (como se ha dicho, en la reunión de Debian debía haber más
  de 100 personas).
 
   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.
 
   Como organizador-moderador que no moderó casi nada: mea culpa, mea
 culpa, mea culpa. Ha sido una enorme oportunidad perdida, aunque por suerte
 luego se reunieron algunos (yo no pude estar, me lo han comentado), así que
 no ha sido todo en vano. 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.

 Yes. Desde linux podrás ver el sistema de ficheros NTFS de NT, pero
 no a la inversa, es experimental y de solo lectura (por lo menos

   Por otra parte, consigo navegar por los distintos directorios dentro

 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.

Skapa cd med contrib/non-free/non-us

Hejsan!

De officiella cd-avbildningar innehåller ju bara main-arkivet, så jag vill
tillverka en liknande cd (som går att använda i dselect/apt) för contrib-,
non-free- och non-us-delarna, eftersom maskinen som Debian ska installeras
på inte har nätverkskoppling.

Hur gör jag det? Jag har tillgång till en direkt Internetkoppling för att
ladda ner filerna, men jag antar att de måste läggas upp på något speciellt
sätt för att kunna användas, eller?

Description: F(?) Virtual Window Manager, version 2.xx.
 FVWM 2 is an ICCCM-1.1 compliant window manager requiring relatively
 little memory and providing a three-dimensional appearance and a
 virtual desktop, complete with colour icons.
 .
 This package contains version 2.xx, the most recent stable release
 of FVWM.  The old fvwm package (renamed as fvwm1) containing version
 1.24r (the previous stable release) and fvwm can co-exist on a Debian
 system.
 .
 You probably also want to install the fvwm-common and menu packages
 for improved functionality and a good supply of icons.  For the audio
 modules (FvwmEvent and the deprecated FvwmAudio), you probably want
 the rplay package.

Ok... I hate dselect. How can I fix this?

1999-11-08 Thread Aaron Solochek
I remeber haveing heard something about timezone being an obselete
package, but i wasn't sure.  So, I stumbled upon it while looking for
netdate, which disappeared, and I thought I could check to see if it was
no longer used by selecting it and seeing what it said.  Well, it said
it conflicted with A TON of stuff, all of which is dselected for me.
Well, I resized the eterm so I could get a bigger view of what it was
doing, and dselect crashed.  So when I went back in, just about every
package on my computer was marked for removal.  I went though all 500 or
so packages and re-selected the packages so it wouldn't delete them, but
now I still get errors, and it doesn't seem to advance at all.  Things
are breaking now, (windowmaker now segfaults due to gaim sometimes, and
irssi segfaults) and I just want things back the way the were.  Any
advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

gpg bug/problem?

1999-11-08 Thread Adam Shand

hi.

a couple days ago i decided to change over from pgp5 to gnupgp.  it's gone
fairly painlessly except some keys that i try to import give me this
error no matter what i do:

heyzeus(larry)$ gpg --recv-keys E8DA6B27  
gpg: requesting key E8DA6B27 from wwwkeys.us.pgp.net ...
gpg: key E8DA6B27: no valid user IDs
gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:   w/o user IDs: 1


now pgp5 handled this key just fine so i'm assuming it's a
bug/incompatibility but before i bug the author i'd like to know if i'm just
being stupid or if there is a known work around.

i'm using gnupg 1.0.0-3 from unstable.

 Netscape and WordPerfect installed) often fails to handle attachments
 transparently. We will examine policy and practice looking for a solution
 to this often agravating problem.

  Any help?!

 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. If you can't manage it any other way, I'm
 sure someone will be able to send you a boot floppy or two...

 If anyone else has any better ideas...


Could somebody help me with the kernel! I don't have any means to
install another HD and I don't have access to any Linux box around here
(I'm pretty isolated... surronded by WinBlows...)

If someone could send me the boot floppies I'd be happy to send
them back as soon as I finish the installation, otherwise, one can attach
the files that I need to rawrite to the floppies.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Daniel.

You know, it'd be really cool if when people do these things someone takes
a laptop with them (and not the purring kind) and takes down a general
summary of events as they happen..

Such things would be nice for those who couldn't attend (busy that night

how-to information presented.  Also archives of this kind of stuff would
be great for new maintainers.

Can't print from one Debian machine to another

1999-11-08 Thread Alec Smith
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. Any ideas where to go next? I'd be happy to provide
any additional information that's needed.

Where's man?

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).

Re: updating of CMOS clock

1999-11-08 Thread Brian May
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write:
 LP == Laurent PICOULEAU [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
LP For your BIOS : simply set your CMOS clock to the GMT time :

I am being a bit daft but do you mean that I should go into my BIOS and
change the time to whatever the equivalent GMT time is ? There doesn't
seem to be any option in the BIOS that explicitly sets/specifies GMT
time. 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. With computer booted, edit /etc/default/rcS and sent GMT as required:

Here is the relevant setting from my /etc/default/rcS:

# Set GMT=-u if your system clock is set to GMT, and GMT= if not.
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? My guess: Of
course not!)

Re: Lynx and .deb

1999-11-08 Thread Brian May
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write:

Pressing d or D on the .deb file links downloads them fine, AS TEXT.
and alas, quite nonfunctional ...   But I did get the source files and
compiled it eventually.

For the Linux version, whats the difference?

I am sure I have quite successfully downloaded a number of binary files
using D.

Only problem I have is sometimes Lynx will abort a long transfer without
displaying any error message, so the user is left with an smaller the
desired file and wondering why it is currupt. There is a long standing
bug report against Lynx on this, including a patch (I don't think it has
ever been integrated but I haven't got any response from the maintainer,
either).

So, whenever you download a file with Lynx, check that the destination
file size is correct.

There is a man-db package

building openssh on slink

Agreed. I dislike the choice of package name, though - breaking all

replacing the standard mta with qmail (Re: Question about dselect)

1999-11-08 Thread Joost Kooij
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

1999-11-08 Thread peter karlsson
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.

How do I go about to do this? I have access to machines with direct Internet
connection to download the files, but I gather they need to be arranged in
some special way to be useable, right?

Thanks in advance,

 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

 You can not (easily anyway[1]) use dselect to install qmail, because there

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

It does not come up if you create a proper local repository :)

ip tunnel 10.10.10.0 network

1999-11-08 Thread aphro
i was wondering (assume it is, but just incase) if it was possible to
establish an IP tunnel between 2 locations for a 10.10.10.0 network (or
any of the 'non registered' networks) the owner of one of the companies i
work for wants more ips but the ISP won't sell them to him for any
price (and for good reason) he already has a class C.  one end is his
burstable T1 and the other would be his house, on a COX @Home cable
modem.  2 linux boxes should be able to provide an IP tunnel and add the
3rd network right?  so there would be the 216.128.8.0 24.1.182.0 and
10.10.10.0 networks ..what would be required for this ? both hardware and
software.  i look foreward to providing a solution to this guy before i
quit the company so he realizes what a asset i was and should o f paid me
more!! 

btw this tunnel does NOT have to be secure..no encryption needed. i just
need 2 way IP communications through it through the internet from the
remote site as well as machines on the 216.128.8.0 network to be able to
access the 10.10.10.0 network.

I think it is not off-topic. Usually, people who ask questions do not give a

Exim PPP localhost and me

1999-11-08 Thread Astro D. Boy
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





audio cdrom broken in 2.2 kernels???

1999-11-08 Thread Rob Mahurin
I think I must be missing something incredibly obvious here.  My cdrom
won't play audio CDs under the 2.2 series kernel; I get kernel errors
output like the attached.  I can mount data CDs just fine.  I just
checked my old 2.0.34 kernel, and it played audio and mounted data
both.  

I built a 2.2.13 kernel last night and tried it just now; no change.
I'm back in 2.2.9 because I apparently forgot to put bootp in the .13
(moron).  

The CD-ROM is vanilla ATAPI-IDE, factory installed, never given me
problems before.  Any help is appreciated.

Rob

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 :)

 Colin Marquardt [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/06 9:26 AM 
Hi,

the subject shows that I have no clue where to look :-)

My problem is this: my ~/.fetchmailrc specifies four different
accounts to poll mail from. When I m running fetchmail by hand, all
four accounts are polled, like it should.

I have a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d that looks like this:

| #!/bin/sh -e
| ## This script is run when the ppp link goes up.
| 
| echo Fetchmail starting...  /dev/console
| 
| fetchmail -vvv -a 2 /dev/console
| 
| echo Fetchmail ready.  /dev/console

Now, when I go online and this script is run automatically, fetchmail
only queries the first of my four accounts! (I can observe this because
I m sending the fetcmail output to /dev/console).

Has anyone an idea why this is?
My system is a plain slink in this part, fetchmail is version 4.6.4.

TIA,
  Colin

If I understand you correctly, you are looking for a X server to
run on the Win9x machine? (You need this to display windows of
applications running on the linux machine).

I'd go for eXceed by Hummingbird Communications. It works really
good. They also make other products for integration of Windows and
UNIX, like NFS clients and servers for Windows.

Another choice might be Reflection, haven't tried it but have
heard good things about it. Don't know who makes it though.

I don't user either but this looks like a simple permission problem. By
default /dev/dsp is is owned by root with group audio.  So your user
must be in the audio group.  'adduser user audio' should get you past
the above problem.  You might have to restart X to get the group
noticed, use the 'id' command to check that the current shell knows you

 This will work, but it is a bit discourteous to use servers you aren't
 helping pay for.

  Finally, you can always run your own basic nameserver on your computer to
  speed things up even more.

This is the best solution.

 Which will need nameservers to forward requests to.

It doesn't, actually.  named will just contact the root server and find
out from it where to get the information from.  It might be a little
slower at first than using a forwarder, but the entries you use will
stay in cache and you won't have to deal with the hassles of screwed up
setups at your isp.

Just make sure you have a valid root cache file (which was installed
when you installed bind iirc) and you should be fine.

I stopped using other people's nameservers several isps ago - the only
thing I use an isp for anymore is usenet.

Yes, if your wget also brought in the Packages file.  If not,
recreate the Packages file with the dpkg-scanpackages command

It's probably not even controversial to say that the only real (fairly

 Which web page are using?  If http://debianpine.tripod.com, don't

I'm inexperienced with Debian, but had no problem getting Pine from
this web page. However, I've been unable to install and configure it.
Pine depends on libc-client4.6 and I can't find it - in another posting
you indicated it was for the time being under /Incoming, but the only
deb I found there seems to be an alpha one.

Also, Pine depends on libc6 =2.1 (my slink has 2.0.7) and libncurses
4 =4.2-3.1 (I only have 4.2-3). Neither of these am I unable to find.

I'm puzzled, because I went to ftp.uk.debian.org and got Pine 3.96,
thinking I would upgrade later when I located the dependencies,
and that says I need the same files. 
 
Can you help in any way please?

 With netscape you have to right click on the link and select
 save as...  If you still have problems let me know.  I am the maintainer
 of those .debs.

Actually, yes, it was your page I was trying to get them from.  :)
I was finally able to use lynx to get the source tarball, diff and dsc

tried to get the debs they were sent as text, and thus, corrupt.  I
didn't try netscape, I did try IE, Lynx and Opera, and used the
right click - save as method, but they still came out corrupt.  But at
least I did get Pine 4.20, compiling it was not a big deal.  Thanks!
