Hola a [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Me dirijo por primera vez a la lista despues de haber sustituido mi anterior Slack 3.3 por la nueva Debian 2.0 de LA-4 y tengo algunos problemas. Espero que no se moleste nadie si lo que pregunto no se ciñe estrictamente al tema de la lista, pero no se por donde meterle mano a esto. En primer lugar me gustaria saber si la lista tiene una FAQ y donde la puedo encontrar. En cuanto a los problemas que tengo, el principal es el siguiente. Tengo 2 dd's, el primero (809Mb) con Debian 2, y el segundo (2Gb) con W-98. He instalado LILO en el mbr del primer disco, al arrancar aparecen las 2 opciones (Linux arranca perfectamente), pero al intentar arrancar la otra particion, recibo el siguiente msg: Disco de sistema incorrecto Error E/S Cambie el disco y presione una tecla y claro, no arranca (este LILO 'habla muy rarito' ¿verdad? :-) ). No hay problemas con la bios, creo. Incluso puedo montar y acceder plenamente a la particion /dev/hdb1 desde Debian. Si instalo el dd de W98 como maestro primario (el solo en el equipo), no hay problemas. En el /etc/lilo.conf tengo la siguiente entrada: other=/dev/hdb1 label=w98 table=/dev/hdb que creo que esta bien, corregirme si me equivoco. Por supuesto ejecuto 'lilo' despues de modificarlo. Todavia no he recompilado el kernel, uso el que instala por defecto, ¿tiene algo que ver? ¿alguna opcion que se me escape? Esta misma configuracion, sw y hw, es la que tenia antes con la Slack 3.3 y w95, y funcionaba perfectamente. En fin, ya se aquello 'no te instales w9x', etc. pero el ordenador tb lo usan otras personas y lo necesitamos.

En su lugar, haz lo siguiente (como root): a)Haz una copia de seguridad del isapnp.conf mv/etc/isapnp.conf /etc/isapnp.conf.old b)Crea un nuevo isapnp.conf pnpdump >/etc/isapnp.conf c) Editalo y activa una de las posibles configuraciones. vi /etc/isapnp.conf ... d) Activa de nuevo el pnp (isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf) o reinicia el ordenador. e) Ahora deberias leer en el ordenador (Al arrancar o al activar el Pnp) el dispotivo deberia ser reconocido como SUP xx xx xx xx xx ... Donde xx xx xx ... son una serie de numeros en hexadecimal. Si te sale eso, entonces es que tienes el ppp mal configurado. Me podrias enviar tu isapnp.conf, si quieres, para que te lo examine.

¿Software para mis estudios?
Hola a todos. Empieza el curso y empiezan a caer las primeras practicas :( bueno, y sacamos del baul del recuerdo aquellas asignaturas que a algunos como yo le quedan de primero : la Fisica ;-) Bueno, la cosa es que tengo que hacer las memorias de las practicas, y consisten en tomar datos de la realidad y hacer luego en casa ajustes por minimos cuadrados, recta de regresion, etc, ademas de explicar el contenido de la practica y tomar conclusiones. Para hacer esto, he pensado en Lyx, con las macros de LaTex. Para hacer los dibujos ilustrativos he pensado en xfig, pero para hacer el ajuste por minimos cuadrados no se que existe. Lo que quiero es: yo doy 4 o 5 puntos y el programa me saca la recta de regresion con la expresion de la funcion. ¿Existe algo asi en Debian? Estoy echando ojo a Octave, que me han dicho que se parece mucho a Mathlab (programa que necesito para la asignaturas de Regulacion Automatica, Informatica Industrial II, etc ...) Parece ser que usa gnuplot para representar las funciones. ¿Existe alguna interface grafica a estos programas? ¿Creeis que Octave me puede valer para aprender Mathlab? La cosa es que este año me niego a instalar windows. Si alguna vez me es imprescindible, me bajare a los PCs de la uni, pero me gustaria prescindir de ello, asi que me gustaria encontrar la mayor cantidad de aplicaciones posibles para desarrollar mis estudios (I.T. Electronica Ind.) Sobre el tema de circuitos, para dibujo de esquemas, ¿que hay por ahi que me pueda exportar a PostScript? Veo el xfig, pero como tenga que dibujar cada resistencia a base de lineas quebradas, me puede dar algo. ¿Cabe la posibilidad de alguna especie de libreria o algo asi para este programa, donde vengan los elementos de electronica y no tenga mas que insertarlos?

Sí funciona, crea dos ficheros que contengan esto:

int jander() {;}
int klander() {;}
En uno prueba con -bap y en el otro con -nbap.
Verás que en un caso deja una línea en blanco y en otro no.

Re: Múltiples proveedores
BUENOS DIAS!!!
Y entonces, va Juan Manuel Gimeno Illa y dice ¿Múltiples proveedores?
Hola a todos,
he estado configurando los scripts y demás para conectarme a
internet usando /etc/chatscripts/proveedor y /etc/ppp/peers/proveedor, y
todo funciona muy bien. El problema es que tengo diferentes proveedores y,
claro, 'pon proveedor' no me cambia el /etc/resolf.config dependiendo de a
cual me he conectado (y también ejecutar o no algunas cosas del ip-up.d e
ip-down.d dependiendo de él).
He pensado en hacerme un script que fuera como el pon, pero que
además arreglara algunas cosillas como por ejemplo tener resolv.conf por
proveedor y antes de la coneción, que resolv.conf se linkara al que toque
(y lo mismo con ip-up.d, ip-down.d). ¿Hay alguna solución mejor?
añade donde esta configurado el perfil /etc/ppp/peers/loquesea
una linea que ponga
ipparam palabra_interesante
luego palabra_interesante se almacena en la variable PPP_IPPARAM que se le pasa
a todos los scripts de /etc/ppp/ip-up.d, asi que basta con que la compruebes
para que ejecute una cosa y otra, este es uno de los fichero que tengo en
ip-up.d
--
#!/bin/sh
# actualiza la configuracion del servidor de nombres
if [ ${PPP_IPPARAM} = internet ] ; then
cat /etc/resolv.conf fin_de_resolv_conf
nameserver 156.35.14.2
nameserver 156.35.10.4
fin_de_resolv_conf
fi
if [ ${PPP_IPPARAM} = infovia ] ; then
cat /etc/resolv.conf fin_de_resolv_conf
nameserver 10.0.1.1
fin_de_resolv_conf
fi
# si no hago esto, los usuarios no tienen DNS, y no encuentran las cosas.
chmod 644 /etc/resolv.conf
---
Otra pregunta, ésta sobre permisos: para que el pon me funcionara
he hecho suid tanto el chat como el pppd. ¿Hay alguna solución mejor?
Por cierto, tengo Debian 2.0
lo unico que debes tocar es que los usuarios que quieran usar pon/poff deben de

Biff: porque no funciona ?
Hola,
el paquete 'biff' que tengo instalado se supone que, una vez
activado al arrancar el shell ('biff y' en .bash_profile) te
avisa en caso de que tengas nuevos mensajes mostrándote el
remitente, asunto y primeras líneas. Pero al entrar nuevos
mensajes sigo recibiendo en aviso típico 'you have new

¿ Cómo funciona este paquete ?

No puedo recompilar GDB 4.16 y 4.17
Hola! Estoy intentando recompilar el paquete GDB 4.16 (y 4.17!) y ambos me dan el mismo problema (que, por cierto, no me daba en Debian Bo). Resulta que instalo el source con deb-source -x gdb_4.16 Y luego dentro del directorio tecleo ./debian/rules y al cabo de un rato compilando me da un error. Al parecer hay una constante no definida (??). Esa constante viene definida en el #include sys/ptrace.h, pero resulta que no se incluye porque por otro lado otro fichero nm-i386v.h, si no recuerdo mal, define la opcion #define NO_PTRACE. Alguien ha conseguido compilarlo? Alguna idea? Lo extraño era que en Debian 1.3.1 si compilaba. Probe tambien con el gdb 4.17 (que es el que viene con HAMM) y da el mismo error. ??

Does anybody know a way to get Linux to see this controller, or am I out of luck. Unfortunately, Compaq has a great tradition of inventing their own proprietary hardware that's not compatible with anything else and not giving out any details about it. I don't know of a driver for Compaq's SCSI adapters and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere that there would exist any. On the other hand, my computer has two UW Adaptec channels built-in on the motherboard. They use the latest chipsets from Adaptec that doesn't even, as far as I know, exist on any PCI cards yet. Linux recognized them right away without problems, a feat that not even Microsoft's operating system could repeat.

nis specific problems:
When I run dhclient, /etc/resolv.conf is written with the new dns info,
but /etc/defaultdomain doesn't change. I guess the file doesn't need to
change, but the value returned by (nis)domainname isn't modified either.
I'm using the dhcp-beta_2.0b1pl6-0.1 and dhcp-client-beta_2.0b1pl6-0.1.
I set the domainname to a garbage value, ran dhclient, and then expected
to see the updated nis domainname from dhcp. But on my system the
nis information doesn't appear to be updated by dhcp. Am I missing
something? Here is the dhcp server nis information again:
option nis-domain alantro.com;
option nis-servers 192.168.50.1;
Do I need to do anything on the client to enable dhclient to override a
previous value for the nis domain?
theoretically this should work:
a) put apropriate request / require lines in your dhclient.conf. dhclient
only asks for dhcp-options it needs / you told it to ask. cat
/var/db/dhclient.leases to see what options it got.
b) You need to extend your /etc/dhclient-script. By default only the bare
minimum of all those nice dhcp-options is used: IP adress(es),
ip-alias(es), default route(s), netmask?, broadcast, DNS domain name,
nameserver(s).
Thanks Ranier,
The dhclient-script was the piece I was missing.
I made a few modifications if anyone is interested:
function update_static_routes () {
local action static_routes destination gateway
action=$1
static_routes=$2# add space for easy looping
while [ $static_routes ]; do
destination=${static_routes%% *}
static_routes=${static_routes#* }
gateway=${static_routes%% *}
static_routes=${static_routes#* }
route $action $destination gw $gateway
done
}
I added the following code twice:
# don't need to test old values for domain/host
# no problems if resetting them to identical value??
if [ x$new_nis_domain != x ]; then
echo $new_nis_domain /etc/defaultdomain
nisdomainname `cat /etc/defaultdomain`
fi
if [ x$new_host_name != x ]; then
echo $new_host_name /etc/hostname
hostname --file /etc/hostname
fi
# old and new static routes different?
if [ x$old_static_routes != x$new_static_routes ]; then
# delete old static routes if they existed
if [ x$old_static_routes != x ]; then
update_static_routes del -net $old_static_routes
fi
# add new static routes if they exist
if [ x$new_static_routes != x ]; then
update_static_routes add -net $new_static_routes
fi
fi
I'm sending a wishlist bug to extend the debian dhclient-script.

I have the kernel package installed and have managed to recompile and install a kernel once before so I think I can do that, what I don't know at the moment is how I'd get the 2.0.35 kernel and put it in a place where the kernel package would be able to use it for the recompile. As far as I can see Hamm only has 2.0.33 and 2.0.34. All advice gratefully received. You can either get the kernel-source package from slink or the tarball from ftp.kernel.org, etc. If you get the latter, kernel package doesn't care where you put it. Either /usr/src or /usr/local will do, for example. You need to run kernel package from the top level directory of the linux source and it will place the resultant .deb file in the next higher directory.

Bad Sector
Hi Debianeers, Today I moved some scsi partitions around and now fdisk, cfdisk and sfdisk complain that sector 3,672,497 cannot be read, and they won't allow access to that drive. My linux root partition is on the affected drive, but so far linux is running along quite well (and I've rebooted numerous times), but I was only half finished with partition relocations, so this configuration is kind of a frankenstein (mismatched partition sizes), but hey, it works. Verifying the disk media with the scsi controller did not yield any results at boot time, nor did reseating all the cables and cards. The good news is that I have a backup, albeit not super convenient (it's on a second hard drive in logical partitions, iow: not bootable). What should I do about a bad sector? The drive is only about 9 months old (ibm DCAS-34330-UW), and it's a 4.3 GB. Is this repairable? Would low-level formatting fix things, or should I be thinking about a new drive? Any ideas appreciated, David Stern fwiw: NT crashes with the INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE blue screen of death. (I was just trying to see if I could run some adaptec diagnostic utilities.)
RE: Can I upgrade hamm to slink via ftp?
Slink was the current/unstable branch. it is now frozen. What this means is that no new packages will appear and all possible packaging bugs are getting fixed. Consider it pre-release now. In a month or so it should go deep freeze. This means that only packages in dire need of an update will be accepted. The easiest update path is to grab apt from slink. it is in base if I recall. Once you have done this fire up dselect and choose the new apt method. This makes dselect a rather nice tool. You can also use apt via command line. The GUI dselect is a early developer play version made by another Debian developer. The apt authors have the true version under wraps -- it promises to be nice. On 19-Oct-98 Mark Wagnon wrote: Hi all- By the term slink freeze, is it meant that slink is ready to go? I've seen many mention slink here, so I was wondering if it's possible for me to upgrade my hamm installation to slink via ftp? If so, can someone point me in the right direction for documentation on upgrading debian installations? Also, I've heard rumors that there is to be a graphical frontend to installation (besides dselect). Being somewhat dselect challenged, is this true, and if so, what is it called?

Re: Need a HOT system. K7 and Linux?
I hope this is not too far OT for the list ... I teach chemistry at a local community college and am seeking grant monies for the creation of a hub of high power PC's to perform heavy quantum mechanical calculations using GAMESS and the like (for you chemists out there .. ;). I really need some input on system design in order to quote intelligent prices for this proposal. I have some thoughts, but don't know about Linux support (our school is a Windoze repository of ineptitude). Can anyone advise me about these? (I want to implement Linux, if it isn't obvious. But I'm still at the early stages on the learning curve.) [...] 2) the Pent. II 400/450 with a 440BX MB is the obvious choice for this very intensive FPU stuff now, but I'm reading about AMD's K7 and the better DEC-based MB's. Anyone have ANY thoughts/knowledge about the K7/MB and Linux? Fast alpha's (the newer 5xx/600MHz ones) are really fast. But they are not that cheap, and there are far less people able to help you out if you get into trouble. The K7 has one big disadvandtage I can see now: it isn't on the market yet. Also, when it will be introduced, it probably won't be cheap. But maybe you can wait a year. 3) SCSI absolutely. AHA2940UW quoted constantly, but I've heard others on this list complain about them. ??? yes/no/alternatives? Think about it twice. Good scsi performs better than ide, but not by a spectacular margin for most things. Good scsi is also notably more expensive than ide. If you intend to support a lot of users or processes that use the disk intensively, you may benefit from scsi. If you are just going to run computations that read some data, run for a long time, write some results, and exit, scsi won't buy you much. Spending the money instead on memory will gain you far more in most cases. 4) Good SCSI drives? I know nothing about these. 5) Is a second drive the best backup device? (using its 1st partition as swap?) I'd consider a CD (re)writer. Also great for storing data you might need some time in the distant future (or not). 6) A number of the apps I am considering are OpenGL/Mesa. From Tom's Hardware page it seems that the Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro (3DL Permedia 2 chip) is an obvious choice. Linux and this card? I'm not quite sure if there are drivers already. Don't take the newest video card, take one that is well supported (ww.xfree86.org). This will save you a lot of trouble. [...] All this is just my humble opinion ;) HTH, Eric -- E.L.

Problem duplicating system
Hi! I got a problem here without a solution. (as usual) I want to duplicate a debian system from one (remote) pc to a new one. So I made a cd-image on a jaz drive medium and had it send to me via normal mail. I booted the new machine with the rescue floppy and went through the install menus up to partitioning the hard disk and mounting them in /target. Then I mounted the cdrom image (as a loop device) under /cdrom. So far everything went perfectly. But then I got stuck. :-( I could not figure out how to copy the contents from /cdrom to /target. The simple cp on the root image couldn't do it. The simple tar star I didn't know how to use (is there any documentation anywhere) and trying to use the cp command on the cd-image /cdrom/bin/cp failed because the necessary libraries couldn't be found. I also tried to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to /lib:/cdrom/lib, but that didn't help either. I there any correct method to do a recursive copy in this simple state of the system?

ppp vs windows dialup networking
when I connect to my isp in windows I get a dialog box showing the progress of the connection. It finally reports the connection speed that the modem achieved. Is there any way to get this information when connecting via ppp? Also, I have had a problem where the first time I ran pon it would fail to dial out and connect, If I kill the first pppd and then restart pon it always connects on the second try. Now some insight. I bought a new modem and (hayes v.90 to replace my motorola modem surfer 28.8 ... both external) and installed it under windows. Until I changed my dialup network properties to use the new modem it refused to dial out. But both modems were on the same port, and both obey the same hayes AT command set. So what gives? Windows must be first checking that the make and model of modem specified are connected to the port. So windows goes through some pre-dial handshaking with the modem before dialing. Can this be added to ppp (probably sets some S register values and reads them?). BTW on linux all I had to do was just plug in the new modem and it worked. (So who has the REAL plug and play?). _ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

netscape
I have read many posts to this list about netscape not working, what version to use, etc. Not knowing any better I loaded the '.rpm' from redhat 5.1 figuring that it was a libc6 version (I converted the rpm to a deb using alien and then just dpkg -i on the deb.) I did not use the debian netscape installer, so I had to edit the fvwm95 'rc file to point the menu to the exact path that netscape got installed into. This seems to work fine, except once in a rare while it complains about ilegal fonts or colors. Once this happens I have to kill netscape and re-start it.

Re: permission denied in root.
Yup, that was the problem. My /etc/fstab didn't specify to mount it 'noexec' but I guesse that's what happens when you leave out 'defaults' from the line. Problem solved. Thanks all for the help. Run the `mount' command and check if the disk the script is running on is mounted with the `noexec' option (might be useful for vfat partitions and the like). Also check if the directory you are going to write to is mounted rw (not ro), and if that directory is writable. HTH, Eric -- E.L.

You use a communications code which has redundancy built in to encrypt the data; eg each byte could be split among 5 machines, with 3 being needed for an access. So as long as any 3 are available, you have 100% availability. If one machine goes down it can rebuild. If one machine is stolen, they don't have enough parts to get the data out.
