Re: Sobre Gimp
Creo que el problema es de paletas de colores. Con 8 bits por pixel (que seguramente es lo que tienes en tu servidor de X) no se pueden tener mas de 256 colores en pantalla. Cuando lanzas GIMP, no hay colores suficientes para lo que ya tienes en pantalla y para lo que necesita el GIMP. Por eso cambia automaticamente a mapa privado de colores. GIMP tiene una paleta y el resto otra. Para qeu no ocurra eso, has de tener mas bits por pixel. En resoluciones altas, sslo puedes hacerlo si tienes dos o cuatro Megas en la tarjeta grafica... Pero en resoluciones bajas, puedes hacerlo casi siempre (aunque puede que no quieras correr GIMP con resoluciones bajas). Yo, por ejmeplo, en casa tengo 24 bits por pixel, y va de vicio... Jesus. J.

Solo para referencia, los términos originales son:
Gestor de ventanas = Window Manager
Escritorio = Desktop
AfterStep es un gestor de ventanas. De la página del manual de X(1),
una traducción patética sería:
GESTORES DE VENTANAS (GV)
La disposición de las ventanas en la pantalla es controlada por
programas especializados llamados GV. A pesar de que muchos GV
harán caso de las especificaciones de geometría que se les
proporcionen, otros podrían ignorarlas (haciendo que el usuario
indique explícitamente la región en la pantalla que ocupará la
ventana mediante la utilización del puntero, por ejemplo)
Debido a que los GV son clientes normales (aunque complicados),
una gran variedad de interfaces pueden ser construidas. La
distribución del Consorcio X viene con un GV llamado *twm* el
cual soporta ventanas superpuestas, menús tipo 'popup' ... [ no
puedo seguir traduciendo aquí sin recurrir a unos pocos miles de
barbarismos, pero es irrelevante ]
en toda la página no aparece una sola vez la palabra Desktop,
tampoco en las páginas del twm, y para el caso, en ninguna de las
páginas de la sección 1 de man que tengo instaladas y que se refieran
a X. Lo que quiero decir es que en X oficialmente no hay algo que se
llame Desktop. El Escritorio es un concepto desarrollado por
Xerox... personalmente no me gusta, pero... de la página de GNOME,
otra traducción patética:
¿Qué es GNOME?
GNOME quiere decir GNU Network Object Model Environment (¡no voy
a intertar traducir esto!). El proyecto GNOME pretende construir
un escritorio completo y amigable para el usuario basado en su
totalidad en software libre. GNOME es parte del proyecto GNU, y
también es parte del movimiento de OpenSource(tm). El
escritorio consistirá de pequeños utilitarios (¡perdón! -- NdT)
y programas más grandes, los cuales tendrán todos una
presentación común.
El escritorio es un concepto, mientras que el gestor de ventanas es
un programa real con una función específica. Hay para Unix varios
escritorios: KDE, GNOME (que se supone trasciende el concepto), CDE
(asqueroso, para mi gusto), la *cosa* que usa IRIX, ...
Cómo puedo saber que gestor de ventanas estoy utilizando
actualmente?
AfterStep, lo dijiste unas líneas arriba.
Cómo se configura todo esto (gestor de ventanas a utilizar,
escritorio?
El GV:
editas ~/.xsession y pones
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/{programa correspondiente}
el mío se ve así:
#exec xterm
#exec ssh-agent ~/desarrollo/WindowMaker/wmaker/slink/src/.libs/wmaker
exec ssh-agent wmaker
Con la primera línea ningún manejador de ventanas arranca, solo un
xterm (para pruebas, cuando no puedo correr un manejador de
ventanas). La segunda arranca la última versión de WindowMaker que he
compilado (para cuestión de pruebas). La última es la normal, que
arranca el WindowMaker que está instalado en la máquina... alguna
otra gente tiene .xsession's más complicados, que arrancan relojes, y
monitores de diferentes cosas, y programas de correo, y emuladores de
terminales y todo tipo de cosas...
Que escritorio y que gestor de ventanas me recomiendan, que no sea beta?
Paso.
Mira en http://www.linuxfocus.org/, creo que en el número de Enero
del 98 hablaba de X y gestores de ventanas. Recuerdo que tenía
algunas quejas respecto al artículo pues es bastante RH-céntrico, y
además era poco objetivo (i.e., KDE por todas partes), pero es un
inicio. Está disponible en español, y creo que www.linuxfocus.org
está en CTV así que debe ser bastante rápido desde España. De todas
formas, mira la lista de mirrors, hay dos allá...

Deskpro 590
I just came into ownership of an old Compaq Deskpro 590 (Pentium 90) that I'm using to replace my old 486 fileserver. I was hoping to be able to throw a couple of PCI Ethernet cards into the system (SN3200CTs, NE2100 compatibles), but I ran into a sticking point. It seems that whenever I put one of those cards in with another card (or making them both SN3200s) one of the cards can't be detected. I've tried all sorts of combinations of compilations, lilo options, etc with no avail. (The cards were at io=0x1000 and 0x1020 and sharing IRQ11. The configuration utility that comes with the cards won't let me move IRQs to see if that is a problem) Plugging in the Two ISA (NE2000 compatibles) cards that I was using on my 486 works fine. (one at 0x300 IRQ5, the other at 0x360 IRQ9) Any Ideas? As a side note, anyone know where a copy of the configuration disk for the BIOS of this system could be found?

The bios or the OS knows to use the ide controler, even though the disk is used as a floppy. The bios knows how to boot this beast. If you try to boot an LS-120 under Linux lilo will fail on the second stage boot because it thinks that it was booted from a floppy. My question is this. If I were to replace the floppy disk on my computer with an LS-120 (this will free up an interrupt by moving the 'floppy' to the IDE interface), can I configure linux to completely support the drive? This means being able to read, write, and format both LS-120 and 1.44m floppies. It also means being able to boot a kernel from the ls-120 drive (assuming my bios can boot a dos floppy from the ls-120). I know that the stock slackware boot disk was NOT configured for ls-120 support, but even if that kernel DID support ls-120 IDE disks, the configuration for LILO would not have been correct to boot a kernel from the drive? Has anyone been able to boot Linux from an LS-120, and if so what configuration of the kernel and lilo was required?

What's Group shift/Lock behavior in Xfree86 configuration?
Could anyone explain to me what the Group Shift/Lock behavior stuff in the Keyboard section of XF86Setup is all about? It contains options like: - Use default setting - R-Alt switches group while pressed - Right Alt key changes group etc. Was does it do?? Additionally, does anyone know of an utility for X and the console like internat.exe in Windows that allows you to switch keyboard layout (language) by pressing a key? Is that what the shift/lock behavior setting is all about? Thanks, Christian pgpLg6tVC5QrF.pgp Description: PGP signature
ncftp-3.0beta12
I haven't been able to get a reply out of the author of ncftp about this, so I figured I'd try the helpful people on this list. My question is this. Is there any way in ncftp-3.0beta12 to set the time it sleeps between redials? The default seems to alternate within the 18-20 range.

There are many AGP cards currently supported by XFree86. There are also a few more available through special servers such as S.u.S.E's Elsa_GLoria server for cards like mine (Diamond Permedia 2). You should check out the supported video cards list in the XFree86 3.3.2 documentation and also S.u.S.E's supported video cards list. You can find these lists at http://www.xfree86.org and http://www.suse.com. Just follow the links. There are no special configurations needed for AGP cards either. With the right server they should run fine. .- Brian Weiss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.got.net/~brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I got it before, but whats the 't'?? (all execute bit) typo, or what is it? 't' is a special mode permission. It indicates the use of the swap device for the item in question (I assume setting a dir to 't' says that all files created in that dir are to be cached on the swap device). See info on File Permissions. For a directory the set t-flag means that only the owner of a file may delete it.

Re: xauth cannot find libXmu when starting X
Hi Folks, No one answered my post, but I figured it outAs I stated below, my /etc file was overwritten by an earlier version. I took a look at ld.so.conf and sure enough some of the lib directories were missing. I replaced them, did another ldconfig -v, and everything is working fine now. Out of curiosity, I wonder why the system did not work before. ldconfig -p showed the library as being loaded, why did it not work? Does ld.so.cache get checked by X before loading? Well, like I said everything is cool now. Take care everyone. Jeff Hello all, When I try to fire up X, using startx or xdm, I receive the following error: xauth: can't load library 'libXmu.so.6' xinit: can't load library 'libXmu.so.6' The lib file does exist, lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root13 Jun 2 15:27 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 - libXmu.so.6.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root67856 Jul 17 1997 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.0 and it is listed in the ldconfig -p list. I looked in the xauth man page, was not able to see anything incredibly useful. I suspect something wrong in /etc, but I am not sure (I accidently used 'tar xvfz' instead of 'tar cvfz' to create a new system backup; ended up overwriting a bunch of files with a rather old version. For shame...I have more current backups of /usr, /var, /home and /root, but not of /etc.) When I try to execute xdm or startx, it does not even load XF86Config (or at least it sends not of the usual info to the tty). My .Xauthority file is empty also. Suggestions? Thank you, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
