Gseq. ¿Lo 'Debianizo' o que hago?
Hola a todos. Resulta que estoy desarrollando Gseq. Se trata del G Sequencer, un secuenciador para Linux. Es un proyecto a largo plazo (o corto segun se mire ;-) que estamos realizando por ahora entre David y yo. La cosa es que David y yo estamos de acuerdo de poner el codigo fuente a disposicion total para todos. O sea, lo mas gratuito y de dominio publico que pueda ser. Pero claro, nos gustaria que ninguna compañia maliciosa se hiciese con ello, como paso con la marca registrada Linux (segun se comento en la lista hace poco). Tambien estamos de acuerdo David y yo en sujetarnos a Debian (asi como Red Hat apoya ciertos proyectos que le dan distincion) ya que es la distribucion que mas nos gusta y segun se sabe, la de menor afan de lucro. La pregunta es: ¿que tengo que hacer? ¿Alguien me da ideas? ¿Que me proponeis vosotros? Para mas informacion acerca del proyecto Gseq, podeis mirar en la web (temporalmente) del proyecto en http://personales.com/espana/madrid/gseq Espero agradecidamente vuestras sugerencias. Un saludo: Juan Carlos

Amistosidad en Debian
Bueno ante todo agradecer los comentarios recibidos sobre la actualización a hamm. Quiero expresar desde aqui que Debian con detalles como el de la actualización de versión desde versiones anteriores a la 2.0 parece evolucionar desde una distribución poco amigable a una distribución casi nada amigable. Perdón por mi negatividad pero mi devoción por Debian se debe en primer lugar al hecho de que es una distribución que es libre. Esto tiene una cantidad de implicaciones muy grandes y no voy a intentar resumirlas aqui. Tambien porque es una distribución muy seria. Todo esto me lleva a recomendarla siempre que puedo pero cuando no puedo estar encima para ayudar con los primeros pasos la gente se cansa de intentar la instalación con Debian, prueban con un CD RedHat de tal o cual revista y consiguen instalar sin mayores dificultades. Por último me devuelven el CD de Debian que les presté y me dan las gracias. Ya me ha pasado esto en tres ocasiones. Lo cierto es que da la sensación de que la amistosidad continua siendo un tema de muy baja prioridad dentro de Debian. No se trata de poner en marcha proyectos ambiciosos con una apariencia preciosa (bueno la verdad es que el usuario se siente mas tranquilo cuando salen cosas bonitas) sino de de coger un CD de Debian, meterse en la cabeza de un principiante y tratar de anticiparse a todas las dudas desde el primer momento Ahora que tengo que hacer?. Donde estará esto o lo otro?. Lamento no ser más concreto es solo una sensación de que Debian está perdiendo terreno por detalles que quizas no sean costosos de solucionar. --- En caso de contestar a la lista mandame copia personal. /\ /\ Los mas importantes desarrolladores de Bases de datos \\W//están portando sus productos a Linux.

Re: nn local news spool
Set NNTPSERVER=localhost in your environment. It took me months to figure this out. I do NOT find this documented anywhere. I have my default server set up to localhost, so this wasn't necessary for me. However, I was emailed a message that told me how to fix the problem. Since it wasn't CC'd to the list I'll repeat it for the benefit of others: There is a bug in the nn source. One work-around is to ln -s /var/lib/new/active /usr/lib/news/active as root. This puts a link in place to the active file from where nn thinks it should be. Yup! I used emacs hexl mode to edit nn and fix this. But for me either fix works. Either fix the path or set the NNTPSEVER variable.

I still have my kernel comiled with etherner support should IU recompile without ethernet support ? You shouldn't have to recompile the kernel. 1) Do a route -n and see if any routes are going through your Ethernet interface (especially the default route). route del these and comment out their lines in /etc/init.d/network. The only route that should exist when you're not actively on a network should be the loopback. This will ensure that applications get an immediate network unreachable error rather than a delay, if they try to access outside resources like a nameserver. (Ah, if only Win95 had a routing table...) 2) If you use ppp or diald, they should automatically be deleting their routes when they disconnect. (Except that diald keeps its metric-1 slip routes.) Pppd seems reliable in this regard but sometimes diald seems to leave bogus routes in, and I have to stop and restart it. 3) Look at /etc/nsswitch.conf. There should be a line hosts: files dns. Make sure the dns is after files, not before, or that will also cause a delay. I also have a networks: files line in there. 4) /etc/resolv.conf should have your ISP's nameserver, as you said. I don't use xdm much, so I don't know if there's anything in the xdm configuration that would need to be changed. Presumably it would be something in /etc/X11/xdm if so.

I mean when choose something from the the kde or debian menu. It sounds like kfm is dying. I don't know why it would be, but if you re-run it in an xterm, then I think things will go back to normal. I think I had this problem a while back, probably on beta 3, or so. I haven't seen it recently, though. Q2. I would like type startx and have possibility interactively to choose before X Window is loaded which window manager I would like to start. It is possible? How ? The Xsession script can actually take a parameter that lets you choose an X session. Kdm, the KDE replacement for xdm, has a combo box that lets you specify what the parameter is. For example, on my kdm screen, I can choose a kde session, a Window Maker session, an AfterStep session, an FVWM2 session, and a failsafe (no windowmanager) session. I modified the global Xsession file, /etc/X11/Xsession to execute the proper commands based on the parameter received. I added the menu selections to the kdm combo box by adding this line to /etc/kde/kdmrc (or was it kdmrc.in...or both...I don't understand the point of kdmrc.in, so I deleted it and symlinked it back to kdmrc): SessionTypes=kde;wmaker;afterstep;fvwm2;failsafe; It works like a charm. Just be sure that the user doesn't override the global Xsession with their own .xsession file (unless it can handle the same parameters), or the combo box selection will be meaningless. If you don't want to use kdm, but would rather use startx (as you say you would), then it could still be done, but you might have to write a little code, as I don't know of the existance of the proper utility. Basically, instead of a window manager being run, you'd run a simple application that lets you select a window manager (by clicking on a button, or something). Once you select a window manager, the chooser type thing can destroy its window and do a waitpid() on the window manager process. When the window manager exits, the chooser can exit, which terminates the xsession, and you're back at the console prompt. I'm not sure how this will work when you switch window managers while keeping the xsession alive, though. It might kill the xsession. noah PGP public key available at http://lynx.dac.neu.edu/home/httpd/n/nmeyerha/mail.html or by 'finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]' -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNhm704dCcpBjGWoFAQFafAP/TT7eWXmbyeWL/aZEbCIvsf2QIP4On77y jdD4393Dsm8EFO6tk2QmKRfMtqY5xBVpPCps81ECjiQUB6cJ9Xw0R/6rpNv9b/iV EpZp0WzHZykwjP2KdIMXoYIe98iVW6oA2LedJmHO/kZXY4qrhZzInC6RquT3sXYN sQhGoorhoQg= =L/Qz -END PGP SIGNATURE-

I can access eth0 (.17) from the w95 machine but I can not access any other part of the eth0 network. If I have understood correctly subnetting with the netmask of 240 divides the network into 16 subnets... as my primary net has a netmask of 255.255.255.0 then the machine addresses are 0.0.0.* which is incompatible with puting a netmask of .240 on the eth1. Maybe arp -s fixs it, but as I have these things very fresh, I don't know. I guess my best bet is to make the eht1 behave as p-t-p link.

Scanners - SCSI card for ARTEC AT12
Hi debian users and SANE people: This is tangential to, but not unconnected with the recent request on debian-user for advice about what scanner to get. When I bought my Debian system recently I got an ARTEC AT12 scanner because (a) it was on the SANE supporeted list (b) it is alledgedly a very good scanner and (c) my supplier could get one easily. I have no other SCSI devices. The scanner comes with its own SCSI card and this is the reason I havn't got it working yet. I have found out what sort of card it is: a DTC 3181x / 3151x, whatever that means. I can't find out from the various Linux FMs tht I have RTFMed whether this card is supported and, if so, what I do to get it recognised (Presumably I need some boot-prompt arguments). The Hardware-Howto lists the following DTC cards as supported: DTC 329x (EISA) (Adaptec 154x compatible) and the following as unsupported: Non Adaptec compatible DTC boards (327x, 328x) The (not recently updated) SCSI-Howto agrees and says the 327x and 328x will NEVER be supported on account of DTC's disclosure policies. No-one mentions the 3181x / 3151x so I can't tell from this what to do about my card. If anyone can tell me what to do or point me at the right documentation, I'd be grateful. It would also be useful if anyone can confirm that this card is never going to work in Linux -- then I would know that I will have to find another card. Suggestions for that would be welcome, too - remember I only want the SCSI card for the scanner. Is the August 1996 SCSI-Howto still useful in this respect, or is it hopelessly out of date? Clearly, if I get the scanner working, I'll post what I did here. The bottom line for anyone buying a scanner is that even if you pick one from the SANE-supported list you may find that it is supplied with a SCSI card that is not usable (or not immediately usable) in Linux. You may therefore have to get a different SCSI card before the scanner will work. many TIA to anyone who can supply further enlightenment! Hugh == Hugh C.

This is the output hda: Quantum... hdb: ATAPI cd-rom- it stops here ( following should be ide0 ..) and that's it, it stops there, going no further. I had the same problem with Debian 1.3, RedHat 4.2/5 and suse 5.1. The disks are IDE and the cdrom works well, since it is the one I used to install Debian on the 386. Is it a problem with my hardware, or is there a way of finding a solution, because it is ok on the 386, but sometimes you get desperated because it is too slow for some things, and I would like to use Linux in a more powerful box.

I ought to be useful. There may be support for some newer cards, but you want something cheap if the scanner is your only use. Think carefully though, scsi is a good interface for disks.

cable modem
You have comcast right? I am also on comcast, but they just took over jones intercable and have yet to 'upgrade their system' sometime next year before they will offer us the service. Anyway I looked on the comcast web site and found out some details on the service. There was a line that said something like 'If you already have a network card, you don't need to get one from us' Sounds like, 'It's ok to hook the cable modem into your existing lan'. I think they will be suppling a static ip address, so all you have to do is configure your gateway and ns addresses in routing info. They didn't mention linux but from what I read it sounded very linux friendly. I can't wait till they get here with the service.

Re: Ax25-utils crash , Help me !
Hi Tony, just a good guess based on the fact that ALL of Linux crashes. It sounds very much like a Hardware failure. As a rule software will not crash Linux. Now the z8530 hardware is capable of bringing down Linux if it fails. So suggest you look at the driver software first and then the actual x8530 hardware last.

It really depends on what setup they are using for the service.

help with fonts in X ?
I'm failing to see how I can use a particular font in certain X applications. I installed rasterman's nexus font (available from enlightenment.org or somewhere similar) as a fixed width font and use it in my rxvts (rxvt -fn nexus) and it works fine. However, I'd like to use it in The Gimp, maybe Netscape, and elsewhere possibly later, but it *never* shows up in the list of fonts even in Netscape under fixed width fonts. Is there an entry in my XF86Config that I have to edit to get this font to be listed with the rest of the default fonts for these applications? It's already in my fontpath as rxvt finds it with no problems...

You haven't changed the ribbon cables around in replacing the motherboard, and then maybe changed the boot order in the Adaptec setup? It will then boot up from the first disk on the second channel (hence find the kernel), however, linux will still scan the channels in the same order (i.e. first channel A and then channel B). The order is hence changed... _ANY_ hints, help, thwacks over the head for stupidity gratefully received. I'm holding back on thwacks for the moment :-) Paul Slootman -- home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | debian: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wurtel.demon.nl | Murphy Software, Enschede, the Netherlands -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
