RE: TCP/IP
Hola, ¿cómo se si tengo en mi máquina instalado el protocolo TCP/IP?, y ¿qué tengo que hacer para activarlo?. Gracias Los kernels de las distribuciones por defecto lleban soporte TCP/IP lo cual no implica soporte para dispositivos de RED (son dos cosas muy diferentes). Hay un documento en LuCas que explica muy bien todo el tema de la puesta en marcha de redes TCP/IP en linux: ftp://ftp.cs.us.es/pub/Linux/ldp-es/Manuales-LuCAS/GARL/ Tambien hay algun HOWTO en castellano que te explica como conectarte a InfoVia.

LaTex y latex2html

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}

%% etc...
\end{tabular}
\end{quote}
\section {ESTUDIOS}
%% etc..
\end{document}
y al hacer el latex2html la parte del tabular no la creaba por que
faltaba el programa giftrans (que no existe en mi distribucion).
Lo busque en internet y lo instale pero sigue sin funcionar por
algun otro motivo.
(genera un img1.gif vacio)
¿Alguien ha utilizado esto y le funciona?
(Todavia tengo la 1.3.1)
Otra cosa; intente partiendo de un archivo latex como este
convertirlo a lyx con latex2lyx y me daba errores.
¿Es que este programa solo sirve para el código LaTeX generado por

Re: LaTex y latex2html
Hola Fernando.
Pues yo logro transfomar tu CV en html sin problemas, usando latex2html.
Te recomiendo que desinstales el giftrans que copiaste y instales el que viene
con debian que está en la seccion non-free/graphics.
tambien asegurate que tienes instalado netpbm y que la version de gs que tienes
fué compilada com soporte para pnm ( si escribes: gs -h, deben aparecer entre
la lista de Available Devices pnm y pnmraw)
Si todavia no te funciona, usa el comando:
configure-pstoimg -h
Para ver que versiones de gs e netpbm recomienda tu version de latex2html.
Con respecto a los problemas con lyx, te aconsejo que cambies la línea
\renewcommand{\encodingdefault}{T1}
por: \usepackage{T1}{fontenc}
y intenta otra vez. Si no te funciona, dinos exactamente que mensajes de error
da el latex2lyx.
Espero que esto te sirva.

Pues como tu pregunta ha tenido tanto éxito, te mando una tercera solución en
perl, la cual puedes modificar facilmente para decidir si quieres modificar
tambien los ficheros ocultos o no (en este caso te modifique los ficheros
ocultos y cualquier nombre de subdirectorio). guarda el programa con qualquier
nombre (ejecutable) y despues lo usas asi: nombre directorio
#!/usr/bin/perl
scalar(@ARGV) == 1 or die Dame el nombre de un directorio.\n;
$dir = $ARGV[0];
if (-d $dir){
opendir(DIR,$dir) or die No puedo abrir el directorio:$!\n;
@files = grep(!/^\.\.?$/,readdir(DIR));
closedir(DIR);
foreach (@files) {
$FILE = $dir/\U$_;
$file = $dir/$_;
rename($file,$FILE);
}
} else {
die $dir no parece ser un directorio: $!\n;
}

Re: Error: ISSUE_FILE_ENAB
Este es un error comun y que yo tambien me encontre. El problema viene de que al instalar la nueva version de los paquetes base, no has dicho que sobreescriba un archivo de configuracion, que corresponde al /etc/login.defs Este archivo es leido por el programa login para configurar ciertas cosas en el sistema, y al encontrar errores en el no deja que nadie entre. Solo puede entrar el administrador (si no me equivoco) o sea root. Para arreglarlo tienes que copiar el *nuevo* login.defs que provee el paquete debian correspondiente, y que se ha quedado en /etc/login.defs.dpkg-dist, dado que no le indicaste que sobreescribiera el viejo. Haz un 'cp' y todo arreglado :) Por cierto, problemas similares surgen al actualizar de bo a hamm debido a que muchos archivos de configuracion no estaban marcados como tales en bo y si en hamm, si no me equivoco, y el sistema de paquetes no acierta al instalar los paquetes con lo que hay que contestar a un trillon de preguntas de The configuration file XXX was modified by you or by a script...

gnome 0.30.
Hello, Yes, I do like gnome and so I was waiting 0.30. It was uploaded do slink today (thanks Jim Pick, man, you are preatty fast) and I already have it home. Only a little problem. Gnome and KDE conflict. They write information about their packges (to each panel menu) in the same directory. The result is that if you have both you'll get messy menus (from gnome panel at least). I thought I've read sometime ago that this bug would be fixed in the this gnome release (it was introduced in 0.27). Have plans changed? When is it going to be fixed? Thank you all. Paulo.
Another PPP newbie.
After having trouble using PPP to connect my new Linux O.S. so that I could ftp the Debian packages, I sent an email to my ISP provider asking what type of conncection they have, thinking that it might use chap or pap. But the ISP tech supporter replied that it was a standard text login that asks for username: then Password:. I added those exact same words to /etc/chatscripts/provider file and I finally managed to connect my linux o.s. to isp using the ppp program. This program is the one that uses pon and poff. But about 30 seconds after the connection has been established, I am disconected. Using plog to observe what was happening It seems that a connection is istablished because DNS numbers and hexa decimal jargon is being tranffered back forth. Then the connection is terminated. I wish I could send you text copy of the output of plog, but being a newbie to Linux I do not know how to tranfer files to my other hard drive, which has Win95 installed on it. I need to know is it Linux that is disconnecting me from my ISP or is it the ISP that is having trouble recognizing Linux's ppp program. If it is a Linux problem does anyone have a solution.

unable to connect to ttyS1
Hi. I'm currently running a Debian 1.3 system, and I'm working on putting together a Hamm system to replace it. I'm trying to get a ppp connection running on an external modem plugged into COM2 of the Hamm system and I'm having no luck. First, I defined the connection and then 'pon' to start the connection. No dice. /var/log/ppp.log contained the following lines: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0 tcgetattr: input/output error (5) Exit. Ok, I went back a few steps. I pulled down the PPP-HowTo and slog through the advice it has (which isn't 100% the same as the default Hamm setup). I discovered that using Minicom, I didn't get any response to AT commands sent to /dev/ttyS1. I rebooted the system and use Lilo to boot MS-Dog. Kermit saw a modem on COM2 and I was even able to use it to dial my ISP and transfer some more stuff to my new system. So the modem/serial port/phone line *do* work. Back to Linux (stopping by the BIOS setup on the way to note COM2's I/O address and IRQ: 2f8, IRQ 3). I did a 'setserial /dev/ttyS1': /dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3 I searched the mailing lists, and everybody else who was having similar problems was using Plug-n-Pray internal modems. No responses seemed to apply to a built-in serial port. So I'm stumped. I'm guessing it's a conflict of some kind, but it's a little too subtle for my experience level. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If there is only one system fan that blows air over a CPU heatsink, make sure ALL covers and panels are in place and any unused slots on the rear panel are covered. Systems such as Gateway and AST depend on proper airflow through the box to cool the CPU and missing covers and access plates will allow air to escape before taking the proper path over the heatsink.

Re: viewing ansi graphics
I don't know how to display the higher-ascii characters in the text-mode console, but if under X you start an xterm or rxvt or whatever and load it with an ansi font (eg xterm -font vga or rxvt -fn vga, you'll need to download the font first) then you can properly display all those colored blocks and funky characters. If anyone knows how to display these characters in text mode, please let me know. The vga font is included in the dosemu-Package. A vga13x19 (or something like this) comes with bitchx, but is too big for most peoples needs. To change the font for Eterm, use Eterm -F fontname. ( IIRC it's documented as -fn somewhere?!? ) In the console you can use setfont to change to some of the fonts installed in /usr/share/consolefonts/*. I don't know where to get a cp437... from, but cp850... is at least a bit better for ANSIs than my default iso-fonts. Disabling setfont in the startup-scripts might help. (I didn't try.) CU

I tried a lot of thing as inverting memories, asking for new ones at my vendor, installing the setx86 package (I am using a cyrix P166+)...The problem always appeared as soon as I was using the 2*16Mo memories. I tried the memtest package. It didn't notice anything, all things seemed to be ok, even if the system showed problems at boot. I resolved my problem by saying my bios it was 70ns memories. Now, all the things go right... Franck --- On Mon, Sep 28, 1998 at 01:53:48AM -0700, George Bonser wrote: On Mon, 28 Sep 1998, E.L. Meijer (Eric) wrote: This can indeed be the case.

It ran for about 12 hours and about 180 reps. And no, I not running any of the development kernels. I am running Slink with linux 2.0.35 kernel images from the slink distribution. But I am afraid that George has hit the nail on the head. In addition: If you are running a Cyrix 6x86 chip, install the set6x86 package and reboot. Check the CPU fan, if there is one to make sure it is turning. If there is only one system fan that blows air over a CPU heatsink, make sure ALL covers and panels are in place and any unused slots on the rear panel are covered. Systems such as Gateway and AST depend on proper airflow through the box to cool the CPU and missing covers and access plates will allow air to escape before taking the proper path over the heatsink. I do have a fan on the cpu and in the PS, but I have always suspected that the 6x86 is the problem. I am running the PR200+ version and am not running it overspeed. I just have problems with Winbloze and now it is starting with Linux. I am going to get some heat sink as you suggested and have already downloaded the set6x86 and have set the auto-suspend mode on the chip. As the doc said, if nothing else will set the idle speed to .03 watts verses the 24 watts that it normally runs. Thanks again for everyone's help, esp. George.

There is necesary libc5-altdev to compile ld.so?
Dear Debian users : I am having problems with the ld.so and/or with the libc6. I released my bo linux to hamm 2 week ago. I used the cd-autoup.sh program. The upgrading was fine and without big problems. However the myself compiled programs, after the upgrading, do not run anymore. The programs stop with SIGSEGV signal after calling to getpid(). So, I decided compile the ld.so library For compile the ld.so library the Makefile call to the program /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/bin/gcc and need the sharedlib.h header. These files are provided by the libc5-altd*. It is right? I am thing the hamm release depend in libc6 nor in libc5. Thank in advances.

Re: Another PPP newbie.
check out /var/log/messages, see what is the error.
My guess is that you have to set the option noauth.
try change the line from auth to noauth in your /etc/ppp/options.

Re: How do I get exim to work?
Thanks George, I nearly got exim to work. But after waisting another 6 hours I do not know how further. I can now receive messages from the ISP into the /var/spool/exim/input directory and read them there with emacs. Mail rarely gets through to /var/spool/mail/jhspies and when that happens, I cannot tell why the next does not do the same. Nothing was received by procmail although there was a ~/.forward file. Sometimes it seems as if exim just sends the mail back to the ISP to be received again when I dial up again. I do not understand all the questions of the configuration script and do not know what to answer. After two years of using linux it seems to become more user unfriendly as far as setting up mail is concerned. My .fetchmailrc also have to change for exim but I do not know how. At one stage the following setting seemed to work, but not in all cases: poll alpha.futurenet.co.za protocol pop3: no dns user jhspies\ password xx # smtphost localhost mda exim -bm %s I had to uninstall exim and reinstall smail to send this mail. Isn't there a howto on how to set up a single pc with a dialup connection to an ISP using exim, fetchmail and procmail? I know I do not need procmail if I use exim, but then I have to understand how exim works and I cannot get it working for a basic system. Sorry if I sound a bit grumpy, but I am a bit frustrated. The reason why I wanted to try out exim was because I get problems with a Sender field when I use smail. Some mail servers reject my mail as the following message illustrates (irrelevant lines removed): |- Failed addresses follow: -| [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... transport smtp: 550 relaying mail to narga.sun.ac.za is not allowed |- Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^^ I have tried to prevent that by the following in my /etc/smail/transports: smtp: driver=tcpsmtp, max_addrs=100, # limit on number of addresses -max_chars, inet, # use route-addr addresses for routing remove_header=Sender; use_bind, # resolve MX and multiple A records defer_no_connect, # try again if the nameserver is down -local_mx_okay, # fail an MX to the local host defnames# use standard domain searching but that obviously did not work. -- | Johann Spies Windsorlaan 19 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]3201 Pietermaritzburg | | Tel/Faks Nr. +27 331-46-1310 Suid-Afrika (South Africa) | -- Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me.

PPP Connection Speed
Hi all,
Could anyone please help me with this?
Somehow, I cannot get a fast ppp connection anymore.
In redhat, my ppp connection is normally around 3K/sec.
But in debian, my ppp connection is around 800bytes/sec.
I had this ppp problem once in RedHat. I initialised my ppp
when system redhat booted up. The system will keep calling pppd to
check if my modem is available. so when I turn on my modem, it will
start dialing. With this configuration, my ppp connection is always
below 1K/sec. Once I disabled it, it went up to 3K/sec on average.
So, my guess is there is a similar situation in debian. But
this time I don't have any idea at all. Could some ppp experts give me
some tips to work around.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Shao.

Recompile Kernel Sound
Hi all,
I just recompiled my kernel. Probably, I missed out
an option, or select the wrong option.
My sound module can no longer be inserted properly
when boots up.
Before I had a line sound in my /etc/modules, and
everything is fine. Now I will have to do insmod sound
after boot up.
So, anyone can help me??

You didn't do anything wrong
Instead you should check:
What printer daemon does I have? (lpr or lprng) -- I suggest lprng
To check this: dpkg -i | grep lpr
Does it is running?
To check this: ps ax | more
You should see a process like lpd or LPD
Does it is run at startup?
To check this: ls -l /etc/rc2.d/*lp*
Check /var/log/ and /var/spool/lpd files for error message diagnostics
Show us all this and the output of the lpc status command

Re: MSS/WSS Recording?
I have done it for my Aztech's WaveRider card. It required a change in

I have modified the dev_table.h file to define the second DMA channel for
MSS compatible cards the patch follows:
19c19
---
#define MSS_DMA2 (0)
421c421
{SNDCARD_MSS, {MSS_BASE, MSS_IRQ, MSS_DMA,
-1},SND_DEFAULT_ENABLE},

{SNDCARD_MSS, {MSS_BASE, MSS_IRQ, MSS_DMA,

Of course you may modify the MSS_DMA2 value adjusting it according to
your needs.

Re: dpkg(install in /usr/local)
Shao Ying Zhang wrote: Hi all, Could anyone teach me how to use dpkg to install in a specific directory, such as /usr/local/. Thanks! That would defeat the purpose of dpkg. The maintainers of the deb packages decide (based on File System Standard and Debian policy) where the files should go so you don't have worry about manually installing software. Additionally, /usr/local/ is offlimits to dpkg/Debian, because policy says this is reserved for local users (you) to install software not available as a deb package. The bottom line is that deb packages can only be installed in the locations specified in the deb package. -- Ed C.

Re: [980928.0004] Re: june 1998 CDrom disk set - Debian
The reason that we shipped the LDR with Debian 1.3 instead of waiting for 2.0 was that we were already a month past our estimated release date and the Debian guys told us that 2.0 wouldn't be released until the end of July. It had already been pushed back several times and we had no promise that it would REALLY be available at the end of July. Also, we had been asked not to distribute a beta version of debian 2.0. The CD jackets had been printed and we did inform our distributors of this distribution. regards InfoMagic tech support.

Re: PPP Connection Speed

But in debian, my ppp connection is around 800bytes/sec. I had this ppp problem once in RedHat. I initialised my ppp when system redhat booted up. The system will keep calling pppd to check if my modem is available. so when I turn on my modem, it will start dialing. With this configuration, my ppp connection is always below 1K/sec. Once I disabled it, it went up to 3K/sec on average. So, my guess is there is a similar situation in debian. But this time I don't have any idea at all. Could some ppp experts give me some tips to work around. two things you might check: does redhat have bsdcompression turned on, and debian not? does redhat have a mru/mtu set, and debian not? you don't say what speed modem you have. also, don't forget with compression the throughput depends a lot on the type of data being transferred (text compresses more), plus if you're calling during peak times your ISP may not have the bandwidth to support everyone at full speed. - dave -- | oOOooO / --|oOobodoO/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] --| ooOoOo / | II / Rocky Road, croaked the toad. | II /

some WindowMaker questions ...
Hi, Every time I start X (with windowmaker) it opens a xterm session ! ;( How can I disable it !? I didn't found any file such as startup neitheir any line on configuration files refering to it ! Everytime I install a program, windowmaker menu is updated and I like it. My problem is that I would like to change some option on windowmaker menu and I don't find the menu file! :( It's not on GNUStep directory and theirs subdirectories nor in /etc/X11/WindowMaker directory ! Well, there's the menu file on that directory but it doesn't correspond to my windowmaker menu !:( Thanks. Best regards, Nuno Carvalho
Moniter screen is wavy.
Stupid answer try moving the monitor and see if anything changes. You can get a video cable extension cord if necessary. Try plugging the monitor into a different outlet, could be a power problem (like having the monitor on the same line as a motorized appliance for example). If there is a degauss button on the monitor try that. I doubt you damaged your monitor, it sounds like magnetic field interferance, or powerline crud. My moniter screen has become wavy.

Ok. First install lprng. The default configuration allows for bounce queues,
so you should have that. I think you want something like this:
pager:\
:if=/usr/local/sbin/pager-filter:\
:bq=printer:\
:[some other options]:
printer:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/somefilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/printer:
/usr/local/sbin/pager-filter could be something like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $MAIL;
open MAIL, '|mail -s Some subject [EMAIL PROTECTED]';
while () {
print MAIL;
print;
}
close MAIL;
Of course, you might need something more fancy to accomodate your pager's
needs. Also, the second filter could bounce to something else, ie, it could
just filter stuff and pass it to another printer (which is what I do
locally to do proper filtering before sending the jobs to a Windows NT
machine)

umask / permission problems with FTP
I'm having problems with setting the correct umask for files. All my users belong to the groups users. I am using hamm. I need their files to be 644 and directories 755. Their home directories are in /var/www and are serving virtual domains. Here's what I know: A. /var/www is umask 022 B. /var/www/user is umask 022 C. When into the shell in their home directory (/var/www/user) directory and file permissions are created fine but not from and FTP client - I have tried several and always permissions are 750/640. I don't understand umask very well but I know 022 is what I want. What file needs to be changed so that FTP clients will see the right mask? Thanks in advance. P.S. I am a Slackware convert and find it hard to leave some of my old ways (one group for users). Is this going to cause me problems down the road since it is not Debian's default? ** * Fraser M.

HTH,
Yes, it does help. The test message I sent to the pager (actually
beeper) printer bounced to my real printer, so that part works (it
needs some clean-up, but that's for another day).
However, I did not get a mail notification.
I sent a test message by typing at the command prompt:
mail -s 911 Test [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and typed in short message and Ctrl-D'd it and the message arrived in my
email client.
But I don't get anything if I type at the command prompt:
ls -l | lpr -Pbeeper
I don't know enough about scripting yet to know how the script works.
What does the
my $MAIL
command do? I can sortta understand the rest of it; while the input is
not , print a line to MAIL. Finally, print a blank line to MAIL (to
account for the CC: option?) and then shut down mail.

Re: How do I get exim to work?
Isn't there a howto on how to set up a single pc with a dialup connection to an ISP using exim, fetchmail and procmail? I know I do not need procmail if I use exim, but then I have to understand how exim works and I cannot get it working for a basic system. I have fetchmail feeding straight to procmail like: mda formail -s /usr/bin/procmail procmail then sorts and delivers it to to my homedir. Sorry if I sound a bit grumpy, but I am a bit frustrated. No wonder - you seem to be taking the hard road on this, I remember your mails about this ages a go. The reason why I wanted to try out exim was because I get problems with a Sender field when I use smail. Some mail servers reject my mail as the following message illustrates (irrelevant lines removed): Hrmm. I use the following in my exim.conf: qualify_domain = lonesom.pp.fi local_domains = lonesom.pp.fi:lonesom.pp.fi local_domains_include_host = true local_domains_include_host_literals = true that get's the host part right for me. --j
