CD de Debian 2.0 en Linux Actual
Me iba a ir a casa ahora y se me olvidaba deciroslo ::) En la proxima Linux Actual (el numero 4, de setiembre) se va a incluir, definitivamente, Debian 2.0 (yo me encargaré de hacer el CD, espero no meter la pata). Además he hablado con el editor y es más que probable que se incluyan las fuentes de Debian 2.0 también en otro CD. De hecho cuando se lo he dicho, no sabía si hacerlo en Linux Actual o en una nueva revista que van a sacar en setiembre que va a tener una sección de Linux, que, si no tiene las fuentes SI tendrá Debian 2.0 (me ha dicho nosequé de la última versión de RedHat pero estoy seguro que saldrá con Debian) Me encargaré de hacer un par de páginas de cómo instalarse Debian, y otra contando las nuevas cosas de Debian 2.0 y saldrá en Linux Actual junto con un artículo mío que no han incluido en LA3 sobre el sistema de paquetes de Debian. Con lo que muy posiblemente el siguiente número de Linux Actual será un especial Debian :) Lo que no sé es si, por llevar 3 CD's = 2 Cd's de Debian+ 1 Cd de la revista, subirán un poco el precio :( espero que no. Después de todo esto voy a tener que hacer una buena donación a Debian (supongo que cuando se aclare el tema Debian-SPI -grin-) ya que me está dando *mucho* trabajo.

This is probably not true - Netscape is a binary-only product so there's no way it can be much different on the two platforms. A GIF can specify the number of times it wants to loop, so possibly you're looking at GIFs with different loop counts. If it is true though, I'd guess it's an X resource setting.

I use Pine and Smail and regularly send email to a group of people.

Re: daily thinkpad 770 ed post :-)
The only way we were able to get our thinkpad to boot debian was to rebuild the kernel using 'make zimage' instead of 'bzimage'. The tecra fix doesn't work for 2.0.34 or above for us. The other alternative is to use the development 2.1.1xx kernel. A make zimage for that does work.

To test this I made
ls -Rl bin boot dev etc initrd lib lost+found root sbin tmp var vmlinuz |
awk '{ total+=$5 }; END { print total };'
This reports only 18MB in use.
How can I get rid of this problem???

Chris Evans wrote: Many, many thanks for your help... On 5 Aug 98, at 12:54, Jens B. Jorgensen wrote: First thing is: are you su-ing and then running emacs? When you su you lose your XAUTHORITY environment variable. The variables points to a file which is used to authenticate you to the X server. What's more, the permissions on xauthority files are set 600 so that only the user logged in can access them (naturally). If you're su-ing to root this doesn't pose a problem since root can read any file. If you're su-ing to another user you'll have to extract the proper auth record and put it into the target user's xauthority file (or disable X security--not recommended). So step by step: do you have an XAUTHORITY environment var? echo $XAUTHORITY If you don't, you need one. If you logged in with xdm then you should have an xauthority file as ~/.Xauthority. Check to see if this file exists. Now set export XAUTHORITY=path to xauthority file Try again to run program. If it doesn't work then perhaps you don't have permission to the file or there's no entry for your display. Run 'xauth' and at the prompt type 'list'. Do you see an entry for the DISPLAY you're trying to use? If you're trying to reach the server running on same machine you'll be interested in the 'machine name/unix:0' entry most likely. If this entry isn't there then you'll have to get it by exporting the entry from the correct xauthority file and importing it into your xauthority file. Interesting thing is that someone else (Eric Marsden) put me onto xauth and I did the xauth merge to get the .Xauthority there for root and that's fixed the problem. However, I don't seem to have an environment variable XAUTHORITY nor DISPLAY. I have the sense that something, presumably a shell script (??) has got lost when Dselect set up my X system. How should these variables be exported routinely and do I need them? Hmmm. That shouldn't happen. Do you have them before you su? These variables are set by xdm and your window manager. When you start up an xterm, it will inherit the environment variables from the process which started it. If it's set to be a login shell then /etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile will be read and processed. These could also manipulate your environment. The shell will also process ~/.bashrc. I think I'm a little confused though on exactly when you experience the problem. Does emacs fail only after you've su'd? Really appreciate your input on this. Sure. -- Jens B.

startx fails/freezes machine (hamm)
Hi,
On a fresh Debian 2.0 installation I am having severe
problems running X. It seems like some hardware incompatibility
and I've exhausted my own knowledge of what to try. I have to
suspect the video and scsi cards but they work together just
fine in text mode.
Now for the details:
Symptoms: When I startx the monitor clicks, and appears to go into
text mode with a blank screen. No further keyboard input
is recognized except Crtl-Alt-Del which cleanly reboots
the machine. None of {Crtl-Alt-Backspace, Crtl-Alt-F2, etc..}
work to get back out of X. Output from startx and
strace -f startx show nothing helpful.
Software: A fresh Debian 2.0 install with XF86_S3
as the xserver (xserver-s3_3.3.2.2-4.deb).
Hardware: Number Nine GXE64 2Mb video card (~4 years old)
Symbios 53c875 based scsi card (Diamond Fireport 40) (new)
5 scsi devices of various ages (cdrom and disks)
Abit BX6 motherboard w 64MB PC100 memory (new)
Intel PII 233 MHz cpu (given to me -- unknown history)
Sony 200sx monitor (~2 years old)
modem, soundcard, ethernet card (old)
PS/2 style mouse, keyboard
I tried with the soundcard and ethernet card removed. Same problem.
During the installation, the xbase-configure program worked fine
up to the point where it tries to run XF86_S3. The XF86_VGA16
server works fine during the xbase-configure program. Naturally
rebooting at that stage of the installation caused a few problems.
I had previously been running Debian 1.3 on an Intel 486 66MHz machine
that used the same video, monitor, modem, soundcard, nic. I used to
use an ncr53c810 scsi card also but had to buy the Diamond Fireport 40
since the new motherboard bios did not recognize the old scsi card.
I tries various bios settings. I made sure there are no memory
holes or memory shadowing settings enabled. I also tried having
the bios assign an irq to the video card -- it made no difference.
So, can anyone recommend a solution or course of action? I will try
another video card if I can borrow one but I am really suprised that
my old faithful S3 based card is not working with this new setup.
Perhaps I should have bought a buslogic scsi card instead?
thanks in advance,
Stuart

xfstt 0.9.9-5 is not serving for some reason.
Hi all, I recently grabbed the latest xfstt from Slink and I removed the old xfstt first before upgrading (maybe this is where I went wrong). Anyways, the new xfstt installed without giving any error messages but when I started X and Netscape, Netscape was no longer using truetype fonts and I could no longer select them from edit - preferences - fonts. I looked at my XF86Config file and noticed there was no longer a FontPath unix/:7100 entry but adding one just made X fail to start (could not open default font fixed error or something like that). I rebooted also before trying all of this again and xfstt starts up just fine at boot time so I'm clueless here. Thanks for any help, Chris -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Re: AlphaServer AS800 5/400
Hello, I would lke to know if I can install the Debian Linux distribution on an AlphaServer AS800 5/400 (the processor isa DECChip 21164A-2). Yes, you can. There is a port to the alpha (it's not part of Hamm/2.0, but we hope to have it ready for Slink/2.1) availabe in dists/unstable. The AS800 should be supported, though there is no Debian kernel for it I think, so you'd need to get your kernel and MILO own from ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/DEC/Linux-Alpha/. There is also a list of systems - nicknames so you can figure out what kernel get (your machine is a Noritake and since it's a 5/xxx you need teh noritake-s-5 kernel). If you need more help, talk to debian-alpha@lists.debian.org Regards, /Anders -- -- Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Re: xfstt 0.9.9-5 is not serving for some reason.
Adding FontPath unix/:7101 solved the problem. I don't know why the xfstt installation doesn't put this in there for you automatically, or at least tell you to do it after adding ttf fonts to the proper directory, but it should. Also, why the switch to unix/:7101? Because unix/:7100 conflicts with xfs (though I never had problems)? Say, when is someone going to package xfsft for Debian anyways?

In your .bash_profile or similar, enter a line like:

I think you have to make bash know that those are not really printed
characters, or you may get problems with line breaking, deletion of
characters and so on. At least you have to do it when you move things around
(I have the date printed in the upper right corner, for example).
You can do this by using \[ and \] around the escape sequence.
More portable is it when you query the terminal capabilities:
set_prompt ()
{
local SAVE_CRS=`tput sc 2 /dev/null`
local RESET_CRS=`tput rc 2 /dev/null`
local CLOCKPOS=`tput cup 0 90 2 /dev/null`
local FOREG=`tput setf 6 2 /dev/null`
local ALT_FOREG=`tput setf 3 2 /dev/null`
local BACKG=`tput setb 0 2 /dev/null`
local NORMAL=`tput sgr0 2 /dev/null`
local BOLD=`tput bold 2 /dev/null`
PS1=\[${NORMAL}${SAVE_CRS}${CLOCKPOS}${FOREG}${BACKG}${BOLD} \@ [EMAIL
PROTECTED]:\w\$
}
set_prompt
This will print a yellow user name, followed by normat hostname, : and
path + final $ . It will also print a cyan clock hh:mmXX, where XX is
wither am or pm.
See man tput and other man pages referenced from there.
