Hola a la lista...

RE: Agradecimientos y mas ....
Quiero sumarme a esta ola de agradecimientos y proclamar también yo ese amor universal :)). Hace ya unas cuantas semanas que pertenezco a esta lista, pero hasta ahora he permanecido en la sombra : El caso es que, además de agradecer, deseo realizar una cuestión(comienzo con un poco de historia :) Hace ya cerca de un año me estuve informando acerca de cual era la distribución más interesante de linux para adentrarme en ella. Las voces fueron una alabando de principio a fin las virtudes de Debian, asi que ni corto ni perezoso me dispuse a instalarla... me pareció realmente impresionante un producto tan profesional, pero tan solo una pega: las X-Windows no me funcionan. Tarjeta de video (2Mb): Ati 3d Charger (Win 95) Ati 3d Rage II (Linux) me leí toda la información acerca de ellas, pese a lo cual no consegui configurar el entorno gráfico. Llegó a mis manos una Red-hat, asi que la instalé para probar las X's, me sorprendió que Red-hat, con exactamente los mismos parámetros, funcionaban perfectamente las X's. Aún asi no conseguí olvidarme de Debian, por lo que no pude abandonarla, con lo que ahora mucho después, y con un poquito más de experiencia en linux, intenté instalar la Debian, pero sigo teniendo los mismos problemas: si lo instalo con la match-64 (la suya) me divide la pantalla en tres listas verticales : si lo instalo con svga me funciona perfectamente. ¿¿¿ A alguien le pasó algo parecido??? ¿¿tiene alguien alguna idea, por remota que sea, de como solucionarlo??? A otra cosa tengo poca idea, asi que las respuestas for idiots :) y gracias, ya que si llegasteis aqui es que habeis perdido un par de minutos con mi problema ;)) == Saludotes ;) _ DO YOU YAHOO!?

RE: Seguridad ....
Hola, hace poco leí algo sobre el tema en www.rediris.es/cert. Es un web que trata sobre temas de seguridad, incluso tiene un buscador de bugs. Tu le pones sobre el tema que quieres tratar y te da una lista de los posibles bugs. Allí encontrarás una buena guia sobre como montar tu FTP, más cosas no recuerdo... pero las hay... La mayoría de documentos que allí encontrarás estan en inglés. Por ejemplo el buscador de bugs esta en inglés y el tratado sobre FTP esta en español. Ahora que lo recuerdo tambien hay documentación sobre PGP, pero no recuerdo sobre que trata. Un saludo, J. Parera P.D. Una curiosidad, sabes que vale una conexión permanente a internet?

Kde Beta3 a Beta4
Hace unos dias, actualize las Kde Beta 3 a la Beta 4, utilizando los paquetes para Debian que venian con el CD de la Linux Actual 2. Me he fijado que cambian muchas cosas en cuanto a la distribucion se refiere. Por ejemplo, que antes todo estaba bajo /opt/kde y ahora los ejecutables estan bajo /usr/X11R6/bin, las configuraciones en /usr/share/config, etc ... Tambien ocurre que los programas que compile para la Beta 3 no funcionan ahora en la beta 4, y varias de las que bienen con Beta 4 (como kscd) no funcionan. ¿Como han influido estos cambios? Tengo oido que son diferentes los paquetes .deb de Kde de los de Debian. ¿Es eso cierto? No quiero entrar en un debate sin fin de si KDE es esto o si es lo otro. Yo personalmente lo uso ahora porque me simplifica las cosas sobremanera. No niego que otros sistemas de ventanas se consideren de mejores (dicho con letra cursiva) solo por el hecho de ser totalmente gratuitos. Por eso, espero a que Gnome evolucione, como estoy seguro de que lo hara, y bien ademas ;-) Por cierto, ¿que hay de aquella herramienta grafica interface del dselect en la que se estaba trabajando? ¿Como va la cosa?

Re: Driver for SCSI-card Iwill SIDE2935UW
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write: I have an Iwill-SCSI-Card SIDE2935UW (see http://www.iwill.com.tw/). Under DOS, Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 it works very good. Now I wont to install the a Debian-Linux-Distribution (1.3.1), but it dosen't works. If I'm not mistaken, that card is (more or less) equivalent to an Adaptec 2940, so the regular aic7xxx driver in the Linux kernel should work with it. It may be that you need a newer version of the kernel than that which is on your CD for it to recognise the particular version of the chip that is no Iwill's card.

Man + Latex
I am still working on reading text files. Acting on Alexey Vyskubov's advice I downloaded the man-db package. Now, instead of: 'zmore Xserver.1x.gz', when I use 'man Xserver' I no longer have control characters interspersed in the text. When I was installing man-db, however, I got the following error message: Checking for languages ...de_DECan't locate Getopt/Long.pm in @INC at /usr/sbin/chman config line 38 Man still seems to run, so possibly this isn't important and should be ignored. The other problem is with .tex files which I assume I use the Latex command. My error message when I run: 'latex guide.tex' is: 'Can't find file linuxdoc.sty' On Jens Ritter suggestion, I downloaded the 'sgml-tools' package which has the file 'linuxdoc-sgml.sty'. This not working, I renamed the 'linuxdoc-sgml.sty' file to 'linuxdoc.sty', which also didn't work. Jens Ritter mentioned that the file 'linuxdoc.sty' is in 'gweb', but I couldn't find the 'qweb' package anywhere. Sorry for taking up everyone's time with such basic questions. Wish things were easier. By the way, several times I've seen 'IIRC' printed on e-mails. Forgive my ignorance, but what does that stand for? Thanks for anyone's help. Dennis Dixon P.O.

[off-topic] SCSI cables
[Story part, you can skip this if you want] I'd like to start working on some packages that relate to Zip drives (ie, Zip rescue/install) however I've discovered a problem.. My external SCSI connector seems to have been damaged. The damage doesn't affect the card's internal connector or card operation, but it does prevent me from using the external drive. My Zip drive came with a 25 pin cable. My SCSI card has a HD-50 connector. I ended up having to pay $25 for an adapter. This adapter makes what sticks out the back of the computer about 4 inches long with a heavy SCSI cable attached to the end. It's damaged two cards' connectors now and I've determined in my own mind that the HD-50 connector is too flimsy---which would explain why people use centronics 50 or DB-25.. g [What I need, please read this part] At any rate, I need to be able to use the drive again. I've found cables which will convert from the DB-25 of the Zip drive to a 50 pin male centronics quite affordably ($10 after shipping!) Now the hard part is inside the machine. My ATX case has a popout that should accomidate a 50 pin centronics connector. The internal 50 pin ribbon connector on the card is not in use. What I need is a ribbon cable about 12 inches long with a female 50 pin centronics connector that can be mounted on the back of the case and a 50 pin connector at the other end for the SCSI card. Every external SCSI drive enclosure out there for 50 pin drives I have seen has something like this on/in it. I cannot seem to locate one without the enclosure to go with it and cannot solder one together myself. Having a custom cable made in town will cost me a minimum of $30, though I expect this would cost more because it's for SCSI. If you know where I can find one reasonably priced, please let me know. I'd really like to regain the use of my SCSI card. All the devices I'd connect to it save the Zip use Centronics 50 pin and are external anyway..

fvwm95 install problem
Hello again ! I have recently installed Debian GNU Linux ( Bo release ) which shares a 4.5Gb H/D with Windoze (all seperately partitioned). I tried to install fvwm using dselect but I don't think it worked - but then how do I tell - much X help needed !!! Anyway, I have now downloaded the latest release from the fvwm95 home page which is supposedly mostly self installing, self-configuring. Having unpacked the files running the config programme I run into errors. The config file creates its own makefile which, when used by make returns errors. If you need a copy of the makefile pls advise (it's not that big!) The fvwm95 makefile has brackets ( , ) around the command cd ... which seem to have been the cause of a syntax error the first time round. I removed the brackets and terminated the line with a ; - this fixed the syntax error. BUT did I do the right thing ??? (bearing in mind I am not a script writer, programmer or hacker !) The problem now is that the procedure is looking for /X11/Xlib.h and /X11/Xutil.h. I have Xlib6c.h - shall change the references to this library instead on Xlib.h ? Where is Xutil.h ???

ACK! file ownership screwup!
Ok now I pulled a Good One. My hard dirve died 2 days ago...it was at 3 am...so I went to bed The next day I boguht a new drive on my way home from work (just slightly larger one) My thought was to restore form my month old backups and be done with it... to my surprize the old drive worked again!. After the failure last night (system that had been up for a while had IRQ timeouts and failed to read the drive..then it wouldn't boot again afterwards on cold boot) I tried to backup to tape, but it failed again. SO I rebooted again This time I did a cp -rf to the NEW drive...then I tape backuped from there (so I could repartition and restore the new drive) You may see my error...cp -rf by root...and EVERY FILE becomes owned BY ROOT! This has been a headache. The /home dirs were EASY to fix but...the rest has been a blurr. The only other Debian systems I have acess is master.debian.org (as a package maintainer) and my one at work, but...it is on DHCP and I don't have its current IP adress (which I need to slip behind the firewall :) ) Is there any way to restore my system?

Instead, I had to go through dselect, look at hundreds of packages, try to remember which I had selected, and decide if they need update. Am I missing something here? Greg Guthrie There shouldn't have been any errors like you describe during the autoup process. Make sure the failed packages get upgraded. If necessary, look at the auotup script and manually verify that the packages it tried to upgrade have indeed been upgraded. Do this before trying anything else. Use dpkg to manually upgrade anything that failed during autoup. After autoup, you should probably let dselect upgrade everything. You really want the newer v2.0 (hamm) packages because they are all compiled against the newer libc6. If you do this you won't need to keep libc5 on your system (unless you got some commercial package that still depends on it). The hamm packages are newer as well; there is now very little if any upgrading of v1.3.1 stuff, so if you want the latest versions you have to upgrade to hamm + slink. -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: synchronizing console, xterm and rxvt using bash.
Alan Eugene Davis wrote: A recent blow up with new xtide version not working as I expected led to the revelation (should I have known?) that rxvt is not sourcing /etc/profile. This led to one of the environment variables being set not as usually, and the program acted like it was broken, when it wasn't (a tribute to Dave Flater: it hardly ever acts broken...). This leads me to believe that the flakiness of the x consoles I use---rxvt and xterm---and have lived with is not tolerable, in two ways: in the matter of not sourcing /etc/profile, and in the variable behavior with bash keystrokes. Ever since when, I have been bothered by that xterms and other X11 shells etc. don't really act like bash on the console. Now as ever. Although rxvt does the keys basically right, and under the right circumstances (TM) can do readline, in some debian package releases. Recently there seems to have been another change, but now I guess it's working. Xterm I cannot get to act normally in this way... Bash readline, etc., doesn't work at all. Xterm is better in some other respects. The bottom line is that these two windows, the best of the bunch as far as I last determined (some time ago), don't work the same as a console. WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO GET THESE TOOLS IN SYNC? Where is rxvt getting its variables, and what needs to be done to assure the rxvt sources /etc/profile? Alan This is in addition to what Joerg said. Getting in sync in terms of the keys is a real pain in the ^%^%^. For me, it involved customized versions of default.map (kernel keymap), linux.ti (console terminfo), xterm.ti (xterm terminfo), and Xresources for Xterm VT100 translations (I had trouble with rxvt here - I'm now just using xterm). Unfortunately, the ones provided by default are barely adequate (aside from the Backspace-Delete issue). Key events like Alt-Enter aren't supported in xterm without a lot of tinkering. This has been a long running project with linux for me. I've finally after months of on and off tinkering, got midnight commander to act (in terms of keys) identically in XTerm as well as X.

The article did a good job. sasha. the lone gunman wrote: I'm unsure of what backup media I should go with for my Linux system. I have a 4 gig harddrive. I'm thinking about CD-R or Travan-4 tape backup. I'm pulling hairs, though, trying to determine which is better (for me, anyway). I'd like to go with DAT, but the drives are too expensive. There are scsi CD-R drives for around $400 or so, and the HP T4 (Travan 4) internal scsi tape unit is about the same as for price (I think). I cannot afford to go any higher. CD-R seems a better route, with the low media costs, and that most cd-roms can read my backups. Retrieval would also be considerably faster. But, I read a long FAQ about CD-R, and the Linux Cd-writing howto, and CD burning makes me nervous because it's so sensitive. I'm worried cd backups may fail, and my computer is probably pretty useless while I'm burning. One 4 gig Travan-4 tape would pretty much do me, and the process is a bit simpler. Plus, I don't think there's too much of a difference in write speed for CD-R and scsi Travan-4. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Perhaps a link to a backup comparison site or something?

I find a lot of small changes, logs moved from (non-existent) /var/adm, to /var/logs, pppd argument changes, ppp setup changes, etc.. It took a bit of fiddling to bet the system re-working. E.g. pppd now needs a noauth argument, files have moved, etc.. Is there a list of these changes, structural and functional? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
autofs HOWTO
This message tells how I got autofs to mount floppies so that any member of the floppy group would have read/write permission. I'm wondering if what I did is the right approach. If so, and if this isn't common knowledge (as I couldn't find it), it should be helpful to others. The difficulty asI see is is that mount, when mounting user volumes, by default uses the permissions of the requesting user. When the user wants to mount a volume, it asks the automount daemon to do so. The automount daemon in turn calls mount, and mount gladly does it job and mounts the volume with the permissions of the automount daemon, not the permissions of the user. The problem is that the automount daemon is started from the /etc/init.d/autofs script with permissions of root.root and rwxr_xr_x insuring that no ordinary user will be able to write to the floppy. To correct this, I have carefully edited the default Debian script to change the umask to 002 just before starting the automount daemon. Then I start it with 'sg floppy -c automount ... '. Now, when the automount daemon does it's job, I see something like the following: drwxrwxr-x 2 root floppy 7168 Dec 31 1969 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root floppy 0 Jun 28 08:24 ../ -rw-rw-r-- 1 root floppy 9199 Jun 28 08:18 README.TXT -rw-rw-r-- 1 root floppy 25798 Jun 27 23:37 zer0 Thanks, Paul Serice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
