debian-mentors en español?
¡Saludos a todos! Bueno, creo que mi desarrollo en Linux como usuario ha llegado a un punto en el cual, puedo empezar a pensar en ayudar en alguno de los proyectos para impulsar más el uso de Linux. Nunca he programado para sistemas multiusuarios, tales como Linux, pero pienso que podría empezar a ayudar en el aspecto de generar paquetes .deb de los programas que utilizo y que no estan aún disponibles, o cuando menos no, en el formato de nuestra distribución consentida. Sé que debo leer y/o cuando menos tener disponibles para consultar, los documentos acerca de como generar paquetes .deb, tales como el Debian Policy Manual, el Filesystem Standard, Debian Developers Manual y otros. Sin embargo, creo que a todos los usuarios (léase posibles responsables de paquetes) de habla hispana, nos convendría tener una lista, similar a debian-mentors, para ayudar en la formación de nuevos responsables de paquetes. Donde las personas, que ya mantienen paquetes .deb, que hablen nuestro idioma, nos ayudaran a iniciarnos a los que queremos hacerlo. Quisiera aclarar que sí leo el Inglés, y lo escribo medianamente bien, sin embargo, pienso que en todos los países de habla hispana, hay mucha gente que tiene la capacidad de desarrollar nuevos paquetes para programas interesantes, que se sentirían (como yo), motivados a empezar en esa empresa si existiera alguna forma de obtener ayuda en nuestro idioma. Quisiera saber si a alguien más le interasaría empezar en este camino, para poder empezar a molestar en debian-mentors, acerca de crear una lista específica en Español. Me animé a proponer esto, porque he visto que algunos de los miembros de esta lista mantienen programas importantes de esta distribución y que estan muy interesados en ayudar a engrandecerla. Por ejemplo, podría decir que, después de leer la documentación de Debian, me dierón ganas de ayudar a empaquetar y/o adoptar alguno de los programas huerfanos (como por ejemplo, casí todos los compiladores de Pascal). Sin embargo, el tener que pedir ayuda en Inglés acerca de todas las dudas que me pudierán asaltar en mis primeras pruebas, me espanta más que el hecho de generar de aprender a generar el paquete. Quisiera saber si hay más gente en mi posición o si, por el momento, aceptarían que empezara(mos) a hacer mis(nuestras) preguntas en esta lista.

Yo creo que (al menos de momento) el tráfico no es tan grande en la lista. El problema de generar los paquetes es que todo el tráfico oficial de mantenimiento tiene que ser en inglés asi que lo único que podemos es echar una mano en español. Yo creo que se puede dejar en esta lista pero depende de lo que quiera la mayoría.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hola. Personalmente, preferiría con diferencia recibir de vez en cuando una pregunta o consulta en privado en mi buzón electrónico que convertir esta lista en una especie de debian-devel-spanish o tener que crear otra lista más (así que ya sabes, me ofrezco para que me preguntes lo que quieras, siempre que estés dispuesto a aceptar a veces un esto viene explicado aquí o un no lo sé, pregúntalo en debian-mentors como respuesta). Mi opinión es que cualquiera que tenga pensado entrar en Debian *debe* tener un nivel mínimo de inglés, pues mantener un paquete no es solamente crear el .deb, es también recibir informes de bugs (en inglés), contestarlos (en inglés) y a menudo comunicarse con el autor original del programa (también en inglés). -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: latin1 iQCVAgUBNY5EkSqK7IlOjMLFAQFPOAP/dgF4h3BHwO3lC8Uv0VlMVKx3g/PyXNwg XAPVwynpDRO5pX8bqLz82bGuozDSmVccTVvJS/abKmOIdbek/10RVBS+20I8spuj 8leSq2gNO8yb31smtPMxmy9kfuYkTL3vWASvrUi6fQg46MmHjEG+90Ig3Rv2CeAS u7AlubJ+VME= =76L6 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Problemas con Lilo o fdisk???
Hola a todos! Tengo en el primer disco duro 4 particiones la primera es tipo Dos, en la segunda tengo RedHat, en la tercera Debian y la ultima para Swap. La cuestion es que arranco con Lilo desde el MBR y me ha desaparecido la particion Dos, bueno esta, pero vacia :( y ya me paso otra vez hace un año. Como no utilizo mucho esa particion no se exactamente el momento en el que se me borro, lo unico que creo que he tocado para que se me borre es: - No he creado ninguna particion nueva en ese disco duro, solamente he utilizado fdisk para que me presente las particiones (print) y luego no he hecho ningun reboot, no se si es necesario aunque no hayas cambiado la tabla de particiones :-? - La otra posible causa puede ser que he corrido lilo varias veces sin haber cambiado lilo.conf :-? Por otra parte hice una copia de seguridad del MBR antes de añadir al arranque la particion con Debian, y os consulto antes de hacer nada por si me cargo algo mas. ¿Se solucionaria simplemente restaurando la copia del MBR antiguo?

Problemas con la conexión a internet
Hola, tengo un problema con el /etc/ppp.chatscript pués con mi modem, Diamond SupraExpress 33.6 interno, no consigo encontrar la/s cadenas adecuadas para que el modem se inicialice y marque el número. A partir de este punto supongo que todo debe estar bien pués como no consigo conectarme no lo puedo saber. Si utilizo minicom diciendole que tengo el modem en /dev/ttyS2 y le pongo un número como por ejemplo 055 se oye marcar y luego creo que tambien negocia pero al cabo de unos dos segundos de no oirse nada el odem cuelga. El modem no es un winmodem pués a parte de que he conseguido que marque, con minicom, hay más gente que lo tiene y dice funcionarles. Como pueden ver tengo todo hecho un garbage por lo que si alguien tiene el mismo modem que yo le agradecería que me enviase los mismos archivos que yo posteo en este email. Un saludo, J.

Printing Info Pages
From what I've read, the best looking printed info pages are printouts generated from the original texinfo format. For now, I've just been printing the text files as-is in /usr/info. Idon't see many texinfo files on my Debian system. Is there a documentation package that has the texinfo files. If not, is there a common method to printout all of the info documentation under a given node? Thanks, Paul Serice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

DNS pointers
Hello, I am preparing a DNS server to host two domains. Currently I have a caching only server and I am going to make the plung to a full primary DNS server. My problem is that the how-to is not specifically for Debian. If anyone out there has a good Debian primary DNS set up, I would reaaly appreciate it if I could see the /etc/named.boot and /var/named/* files. I have a good idea on how to do it, but seeing some already working files would help me out 100%. Thanks! Gregory Green -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

SOLVED: palmpilot III and thinkpad 760xl
so my thanks to Maitland and SEGV. I appreciate your response but my problem turned out to be something else. It turns out all I had to do was read the README file provided by 3com. apparently in thinkpads the serial port is turned _off_ by default so that you can use the infra-red port (and I'm telling you, I use that infra-red all the time :-) ) So I had to reboot into NT and use the IBM thinkpad features to turn off the infra-red and turn on the serial port. now everything works fine. I'm sure there is a way to do this in linux I just dont know how. probably a HOW-TO somewhere. I really should just calm down and read the documentation once and a while. make my life sooo much easier. - John Kloss -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, I've just installed scilab_2.2-4.deb from the non-free section of hamm. But it doesn't seem to be working. I type scilab at the prompt and it exits without giving any error messages, without poping up any windows or anything. It just does nothing! Am I doing something wrong, or is this package broken? Thanks, Mark. Yes, it's broken. I have the same experience with the hamm version and oddly enough also with the FreeBSD port of Scilab. This indicates a big screw up from the upstream authors.

AW: help! NT4 destroyed my Linux partitions!
Hi!
Same thing happened to me. After NT did some small repairs to my primary
(SCSI) harddisk, nobody could read from that disk anymore (not even NT -
great software) I could boot from the SuSE distribution CDROM and fix the
partition table with fdisk - because I knew where the partitions were. If
you have no record of your old partition table, I don't think that any
program can help you.
Good luck anyway

3Com Etherlink III doesn't work
Hi all, I just changed from slackware to debian (I think it's hamm, can't check it right now, but definitely not slink), but I can't get my 3Com Etherlink III ISA card to function properly. This is how it stands: I managed to get it work in slackware (so I suppose it is fully supported in debian too); next I installed debian (smooth install, no problems, entered irq=10 and io=0x300 as the parameters for the 3Com card. Those params worked in slack and still do in NT4). When I wanted to run the dselect package and update via FTP, I noticed I wasn't connected. I have static IP, pinging nameserver returns no packages, the card is up and running according to ifconfig, params (DNS, domain etc) seem ok... Are there known problems with this card, or is it just me that misconfigured things?

NFS problem with 2.0
Urg. Fimble Fungers here sent this out with a screwy Subject line. Here again ... I've been seeing a problem with NFS on 2.0 here. I have several machines set up with Debian, both the stable and frozen releases. The stable ones are running 2.0.33 while the frozen ones are running either 2.0.33 or 2.1.106. I've mirrored the site to a few of the machines here, both 2.0.33 and 2.1.106, and use them for installs to other machines. The trouble is with the NFS installs. If the server is a frozen machine, then the NFS install will fail regardless of kernel version. If it's a stable one, it works fine. The symptom manifests itself with the local NFS mount directory becoming a file, losing it's directory attribute. Oddly, dselect is able to get the package files just fine. It's only when the actual install starts that it dies. Mostly before a single package is done, but occasionally a couple of packages will come through before it flops. Aside from dselect, I can NFS mount a remote directory and roam around in it at will. Dir listings seem OK. I can even copy a few small files. If I try to copy a large file, it will start, then die.

Re: SuperDisk Drive [== Infos found]
Hi again ! I've had a look at the Hardware-HOWTO and found a link to the page Linux and parallel port IDE devices page : http://www.torque.net/parport/paride.html Sorry for the bother, Max Hi, I would like to know if the SuperDisk Drive is supported, and how to use it ? It's a parallel port drive using 120 Mo floppy. It can be put on the printer port drive. It's also backward compatible with 3.5inches floppies (720Ko and 1.44Mo).

The tarballs are enough of a pain that I'd recommend getting the packages, now that they're out. If you hold off a few days they'll probably be on the main ftp site and have a few quirks worked out, but you could grab them from incoming now (live dangerous).

Re: Voodoo2 under Hamm
I also have just become the proud owner of a Voodoo II card, an Orchid Richous 3D. Is anybody doing any development for this board, it is sooo cool, I would love to make use of it inside Debian.

The problem is that I have 1.3.0 version installed and I would like to know, should I upgrate it to 1.3.1 and then use autoup.sh for shifting to hamm or I can go directly to hamm? Upgrade directly to hamm. The differences between 1.3 and 1.3.1 should be no problem for the autoup.sh script (it just removes all *-dev package and install new packages in the correct order).

POP 3 error with my inbox
When trying to get my mail (in netscape or anything else), I get the following error: Report from server Err Maillock: 'var/spool/pop/bmorgan.pop' I've gone in and renamed bmorgan.pop to something else, and it creates another bmorgan.pop name and gives me the same error message.

man pages problem
Hi, I had a problem with the man pages on my hamm system. If I tries to look at any of the man pages after nv1 I'd get an error message saying there was a hash error, I didn't keep it so I don't have the proper message but I figured I'd just remove the man pages and then reinstall. I used dselect and remove the packages related to man pages. I then selected them and tried to reinstall. I get an error when dslect is tring to get man-db_2.3.10-64.deb from dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/doc stating that No such file or dircetory. Where do I get the man-db package from.

Debian 2.0 Beta Celebration tomorrow
Since Debian's hamm distribution will become 2.0 Beta on 00:00 UTC June 24th, there will of course an IRC party on irc.debian.org at that time -- its 8 p.m EDT Tuesday. And for your amusement, theres a live countdown timer at: http://www.netgod.net/ At least two CD vendors will have Gold CDRs available the same day, and hamm can be downloaded from the ftp mirrors (listed on www.debian.org). This is the last phase before final release, which will happen when 2.0 has no serious bugs. And since 30 bugs were closed last week, and only 66 remain, that can't be far off. :-) The IRC servers: irc.us.openprojects.net -- north america irc.eu.openprojects.net -- europe irc.au.openprojects.net -- austrailia The client software: http://www.irchelp.org/ The chant: D 2 D 2 D 2 ;-) - PGP E4 70 6E 59 80 6A F5 78 63 32 BC FB 7A 08 53 4C __ _Debian GNU Johnie Ingram [EMAIL PROTECTED] mm mm / /(_)_ __ _ ___ __netgod irc.debian.org mm mm / / | | '_ \| | | \ \/ / m m m / /__| | | | | |_| |Yes, I'm Linus, and I am your God. mm mm \/_|_| |_|\__,_/_/\_\ -- Linus, keynote address, Expo 98 GO BLUE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
