GCAL y fechas resaltadas.
Kaixo!!! Me estoy peleando con GCAL y me he leido todo el info gcal pero no consigo hacer lo siguiente: Quiero hacer un fichero con fechas y un pequeño texto (el texto es lo de menos) y que cuando presente el mes y/o año resalte los días que coincidan, esto es parecido a el resource-file pero con este fichero solo consigo que me salgan debajo de los meses una lista con las fechas que coinciden, pero no que resalte el día en el calendario. Que fichero u opción he de usar para conseguir lo que quiero? Ejemplo: fichero prueba 0412 12 de Abril de cualquier año 1220 20 de Diciembre de cualquier año 19990726 26 de Julio de 1999 $ gcal -f prueba 1999 salen los meses y luego esta lista: Lista de fechas constantes: lu, 12 abr 1999: 12 de Abril de cualquier año lu, 26 jul 1999: 26 de Julio de 1999 lu, 20 dic 1999: 20 de Diciembre de cualquier año $ gcal -q ES -f prueba 1999 Salen los meses y luego la misma lista pero ahora resalta ciertos días que se suponen fiestas españolas... como hago para resaltar los días que YO quiero Que nadie me diga que modifique el source (que ya se me ha ocurrido) por que no me sirve, me interesa pasar como parametro un fichero diferente segun me interese unas fechas u otras Gracias... -- Agur..

X Windows
Hola a todos, Tengo un problema con las X y es que generalmente cuando intento mover una ventana, al minimizar alguna aplicación, en fin, al cabo de un rato más o menos pequeño, se me queda colgado no dando más opción que apretar el botón de reset. Tengo una tarjeta grafica S3 Trio64+ y un monitor Samsung Multisync 3 y he utilizado XF86Setup para la configuración poniendo como servidor el S3 y como tarjeta la que me corresponde e incluso he probado con otras, por si acaso. El resultado siempre es el mismo. Tambien he probado poner como servidor SVGA, pero nada de nada. ¿A qué se puede deber esto?, ¿alguien puede darme una idea? Gracias.
Creando Anonymous FTP
Hola a todos: Estoy intentando poner en marcha un FTP anonymous con el unico proposito de poner en RED un CD de datos. Consigo conectarme sin problemas, pero cuando hago 'ls' NO VEO NADA y sin embargo la informacion está ahi porque puede cambiarme con cd a los direcctorios del CD-ROM. La linea de /etc/passwd es: ftp:!:100:50::/home/ftp:/bin/false y la de /etc/group staff:*:50: es decir, no he cambiado nada de la instalacion inicial. Tambien he hecho los pasos recomendados para hacer una FTP anonymous en el libro: TCP/IP Network Administration (O'Really) y los resultados han sido los mismos ¿Hay algo que me olvido? ¿Que pasa entonces con el comando ls?

Re: Problemas con Infovia Plus: ya se la causa
Hola, hace 3 o 4 dias mande un mensaje diciendo que no podia acceder a Infovia Plus por el 901-XX-XX-XX. Puesto al habla con mi proveedor (RedesTB), me han dicho que los usuarios de RedesTB nos pasamos todos a Retenet y no podremos entrar mas por Infovia ni Infovia Plus. Para los que no tenemos nodo local Retevision a habilitado una Red Inteligente que nos permite acceder a traves del 901612111 tambien a precio de llamada local. Por eso Infovia Plus me decia que no me podia autentificar: porque RedesTB no estara conectado a Infovia Plus sino a Retenet. Durante esta semana nos enviaran un mensaje diciendonos cuando podremos entrar por dicho 901, antes del fin de Infovia. Espero que esto sirva de ayuda a la gente que este en RedesTB y tan despistada como yo. Explico... Lo que pasa es que Grupo Retevisión compró hace tiempo dos proveedores exactamente compro a Servicom y a RedesTB es por eso que estos dos ISP's dejan Infovia y se pasan a Retenet.

Re: Referencias profesionales
Hola a todos: Muchas gracias por la cantidad de respuestas que he recibido. Os aseguro que he tomado buena nota de todas ellas. Mientras iba recogiendo pensaba: ya tengo munición para cuando venga la guerra... Bien, pues la guerra llegó a las 8 de la tarde, yo con mi jefe. Y me dejó alucinado. El es un hombre Unix, y los sistemas Windows le parecen bastante malos: YO Linux es muchísimo más fiable y estable que NT. EL Hombre, es que para ser mejor que NT tampoco hace falta mucho... La opción Linux ya se la había pensado más de una vez, y conocía perfectamente las inversiones de empresas potentes en Red Hat, el apoyo de Oracle, Informix, etc, etc portando sus productos a Linux, ... en fin, sabía muchas cosas. Problema: nosotros vendemos los sistemas que diseñamos, y son los clientes quienes han de aceptar Linux. Y ahí me dijo que ya SABE de clientes que no lo aceptarían. No obstante, puede que cuando tengamos menos vorágine de trabajo pongamos un Red Hat con Oracle para hacer pruebas. Algo es algo... Aquí planteo una reflexión que creo ya se ha discutido mucho. Usar Debian ni se lo planteaba, porque Oracle había dicho que su base de datos funcionaba con Red Hat (y por lo tanto, ha de estar instalado en Red Hat para dar soporte técnico), y Red Hat también da soporte técnico. Yo no sé si la filosofía de Debian puede o no llegar a servirle a mi jefe. No sé si existen o no empresas que soporten Debian como distribución o ni siquiera si tiene sentido que existan, pero el hecho es que ahora mismo si se diera el milagro, Debian NO sería la distribución elegida. Y a mi me joroba, porque Debian me parece mucho mejor que la otra. Y en cuanto al soporte, yo he tenido un soporte magnífico cuando he tenido problemas .. ;-) En fin. Pongo estos comentarios porque me parece interesante conocer de primera mano un caso real de jefe ante Linux. Si no es el lugar para estos temas, hacédmelo saber. Y repito: gracias por toda la información. En muchos casos, era muy buena. Javi

Acentos en Latex

La primera linea dice que use la codificacion europea para las fuentes

las fuentes donde las vocales acentuadas se logran por composicion de

La segunda linea dice que el texto esta escrito utilizando el juego de

como hace el Word para guardar las cosas. Puede ser unicode, puede ser latin

lugar de cp850. Si es Unicode necesitas (creo) Omega, incluido con versiones

Can't remote X
Hi All! I'm a newbie, and have just discovered running X apps on a remote machine on a local X server. Weigh kule! On my campus, I can run an X server (XMix I believe) on a Win95/NT box and then telnet to a linux box and set my DISPLAY variable to the Win95 IP address and then run apps on that linux box and they show up on the 95 box. This is cool. Now, for the Thanksgiving weekend, I've traveled 150 miles east (from Abilene to Ft Worth) to my folks' house, and am using my Debian laptop on my Mom's ISP and trying to telnet back to my Abilene Debian box. However, I'm getting an error to the effect that the client is not authorized to connect to the Xserver. Is this some sort of default setting in Debian that I need to turn off somewhere, or is it some sort of barrier in Mom's ISP service, or what? Any clues as to how I can connect? PS. I've heard people refer to rlogin and ssh and have kindda gotten the impression that these are alternative means of telnetting in; maybe this relates to my problem?

how get a pci plug and pray soundcard installation
Hi, under Window$ 95 ( don't hit me ) I run a TerraTec XLerate Soundcard -PCI and Plug Play I do some musical stuff with this card inc combination to a Roland SoundCanvas 88, e.g. Band-in-aBox, Powertracks, Hearmaster, etc.,... The hint for using this card is( I don't know much about Soundcards) the card can transmit midi-data to the sound-canvas without inter- preting this data. Under linux now I've seen, there are lot of music-programs, like mixers, etc, So I think if I can get a Soundcard work under Linux, perhaps it is possible to kill the window$ partition, only used for musically stuff. But, unfortuanellety, I can't get the soundcard `swingin'. Can someone please help me. If there is no way get Linux sounds good with this card, please be so friendly and name me a card which will run under linux without problems and also can send/receive midi-data only. I have a slot for a ISA-Card also, the card must not be the ultimate one if I can have wavetables (direct output) and sending/midi the SoundCanvas will makes sound really sounds good. -- Cheers Peter

Low memory performance question
Hello all - I'm trying to install Debian 2.0.2 on a Toshiba 386 laptop, with 4M of memory and a 120M hard drive. I RT the fine Manual and have my stack of floppies ready. Used lowmem.bin, did the partition thing (92M for me, 20M for swap, 6M for Minix), booted with the resc1440.bin disk and entered boot params of rescue root=/dev/hda3. So far, so good. Get the usual scrolling screen, telling me that all is well... except, for the past 20 minutes, I've been staring at a message that tells me the system is Adding swap: 20588k swap space (priority -1). The question is - Is Debian going to run worth a d**n on this thing? The primary use will be for learning C and mucking about with shell programming. I won't be loading much more then the base system, gcc, g++, and vi. Dan Deasy [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I then switch to Left-Alt F2 and here is what my dmesg says: hdd: IRQ probe failed (0) hdd: IRQ probe failed (0) hdd: Toshiba CD ROM XM-6102D ATAPI CDROM DRIVE hdd: IRQ probe failed (0) ide0 at 0x160-0x1fg, 0x36 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177, 0x376 on irq 15 If I then try to mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom my system hangs in the Left-Alt F2 virtual terminal, and I have to reboot. I would like to be able to find out what IRQ and i/o address my Toshiba CD-ROM is working under. MSD will not provide this information (at least I don't recognize it). Can I do it from the Left-Alt F2 virtual console in EZSTART? If I can find out what the irq and i/o address should be (using some GNU utility that is available on the Left-Alt F2 virtual console), how would I then get the system to accept these values for the CD-ROM? Any ideas will be welcomed. Thanks. joeh
Re: Is it possible to scroll back and see bootup messages on console?
Thus spake Stan Brown ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
In FreeBSD, you can hit the {Scroll Lock} button and scroll back on the
console using {Page Up and {Page Donw} keys.
Is there anything similar in Debian?
as mentioned before... I think the shift page up/down combo
works... but if it's just bootup messages you're looking for you can
type 'dmesg' at the prompt and it will spit out all the kernel bootup
stuff. HTH

Dselect hard crash; now dselect won't run
(Debian 1.1 - slink) After the crash, there were errors in the ext2 root system. When that was cleaned up, I tried to run dselect again.

The better way is to use xauth to export your X magic cookie to a file, and then import it on to the host at the other end. ssh can do some trickery and make your X connection go through the secure connection. This means (a) your session is encrypted, and (b) no mucking around with xauth because it does it for you.

Re: Package Help Please
Hello Stephen, I am trying to install packages from a floppy/s using dselect but keep getting the messages: /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mount/packages/ does not exist can any give me some advice on this? In the dselect main menu, choose 0. Access and select the floppy method. Then you'll need to 1. Update to get the Packages file off the floppy. In general, you need to choose the options in the main menu of dselect in numerical order from the top... this isn't obvious from the interface. or just general advice on installation (x window etc) When you get to selecting packages, the Enter key confirms the whole list and exits (yes, press the Enter key to Exit). To select the package you have the cursor on, you need to press the + key. The other useful key to know: when you press + on something and it pops up with suggestions you don't like, press R (upper-case) to get it back to the way it was before you pressed the +. Then you can either make different selections, or just press Enter to confirm and return to the main list. HTH Jiri [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The filter file *might* be slightly case-sensitive (ie, try $header_Cc:), but I don't think it is. (BTW, you should probably use $header_X-Mailing-List: instead of $header_Cc: anyway.) Try leaving off the last line (save /home/filsin/Mail/inbox). If your .forward doesn't handle a message at all, it'll go into your normal mailbox by default, so that should make things a bit better...

dselect problem on install
Reply-To: Hi Has anyone seen this problem with Debian 2.0 (from Cheapbytes) before ? It does the initial install fine and the reboots and asks you what type of install you want eg Scientific workstation etc and then runs deselect. When it gets to installing the packages all goes fine until it starts to ask about creating the XF86Confing file. At this point if I answer YES or No it no longer responds to any keyboard input. I can switch to another vty and kill -s 9 the current post install process and then when I switch back to the original vty it has moved on to the next package and proceded OK until it needs some user input but the keyboard is still locked out. Any ideas ? Pat
exim and DNS
Hi peolples, I have a problem running exim. I am working on a side of a firewall that have a dns inside. We have a pop3/smtp mailhost outside of this firewall that is not listed in our DNS, so we use th set up our mail reader (Netscape for instance) with the ip address af the externam mailhost machine. We also have a domain for our e-mails. I am now trying to set up a linux box inside of the firewall just for personal usage. I set up exim to handle locally e-mail from me to me, and I specified to send every message without domain to our mailhost using the smartuser driver: smartuser: driver = smartuser new_address = [EMAIL PROTECTED] then I modified my /etc/hosts to include the mailhost host. Now the problem: if I use ping or telnet or ftp then I can connect to mailhost, but exim can't connect to mailhost because he just try to get the address from the DNS. It seems to me that exim doesn't look at the /etc/hosts file. Is it true? Should I became DNS myself? Thanks, Giuseppe Sacco

Re: Is it possible to scroll back and see bootup messages on console?
Hello Debian Land...
The best way to see all the messages is to not run any programs on tty1 (the
first
virtual terminal - also the default terminal). You can then scroll all the way
back
to the bios boot information using the shift+pageup key combination.
So long as you run no programs (or at least ones that dont take over the
screen) then
you can scroll up and down as many times as you want using the shift+pageup and
shift+page up.
If you always want access to this informaiton then login to Linux using any one
of the
other virtual consoles. As far as I know it using the other virtual terminals
will
allow you to always got back to the information on the first one.
One further point regarding linux logo. If you have this installed and
configured to
display then you can still see all the boot information.
P.s. You may or may not have to login to the machine to scroll ( I haven't
tested it
by not logging in.)
Hope this clears a few things up.

Re: Please help with CD writer questions
You probably want to have a look at Andy McFadden's CD-Recordable FAQ, which is not Linux oriented, but does have a lot of information about the hardware. It is at http://www.fadden.com/cdrfaq/ timothy 1. I read (on NetExpress) that the shelf life of CD-R media timothyis only like 5 years. Is this true? Doesn't this suck? And timothythat CD-RW media has a shelf life of 30 years. Does this timothymean I have to get a CD-RW? I think its the other way around CD-R lasts ~25 years, CD-RW ~5 years. But I really don't remember where I read that. Aha. At the end of the FAQ there is the claim that CD-R have an unrecorded shelf life of 5-10 years, and that once recorded the estimated life is 75-100 years depending on whether you are using green or gold blanks. My impression is that most CD writers you can buy now will write both type of CD. timothy 2. What is the deal with the buffer underflow thing? I read timothy(on Computers.com) that you should have a fast SCSI timothyinterface, because if you cant feed the writer data fast timothyenough, the write will die. - Does this mean that all IDE timothyCD-Writers are useless? And what if you do get a SCSI timothyWriter, but are using an IDE hard disk? Wont you still be timothystuck? According to the FAQ above IDE writers are not much of a problem so long as the writer has a reasonable size of buffer. And I suppose it depends how you are going to use it. If you always make an image on a spare partition before writing to the CD, problems are even less likely. And you probably don't want to start writing while your machine is heavily loaded with other processes. I have an IDE CD writer (an HP CD-Writer+, 7200 series, 768K buffer) that has worked without problems for me.

Hello Debian Land, I made an interesting purchase just recently of Red Hat 5.1, thinking I would try it out and see if it was any better. It had some advantages and disadvantages, but in the end I decided to come back to debian. The situation I am in now however, is that I have an applications CD (the third Cd in the set) from redhat 5.1, but I have no idea what these applications are. I would like to try these out but want to know what is what. Is there a way to see what these applications are, without re-installing redhat??? I believe that redhat uses a program called glide to read this application CD, is there an equivalent for debian ?? or should I try installing glide (which I doubt would work as I would need to include other parts of redhat) ?? Any one have comments on this... Thanks. -- John Stevenson, Objective Alliance: www.oa.nl Objects are not a technology, they are a state of mind

Re: Soundblaster 64 PCI with Linux

I can get sound out of this board with modprobe 1370 (not 1371? is the 128 inferior to the 64?), but the drivers that come with the kernel seem to get a lot of DMA timeouts, and programs often seem to hang trying to open /dev/dsp (don't receive TERM, either, only KILL), after which nothing can use sound... so I guess the chip isn't identical. I use a SB PCI128 with 2.1.129, and it works fine. The PCI128 is, in fact a ES1370, so use that driver. Sound volume was a bit low for me by default, but that's easily fixed with a mixer program like cat, which you can run at boot time.
Blocking an arbitrary port with ipfwadm
Hi Folks, Not sure if this has been covered before, and it isn't 100% debian-specific, but I thought some ipfwadm guru out there might be able to help a poor clueless idiot such as myself. What I want to do is use ipfwadm to block a single port - namely 31337 (UDP). For anyone who has had their head in the sand for the last few months, that's the port that Back Orrifice listens on by default. This isn't meant to be a full-on firewall at the moment, but I'd specifically like to block that port so someone doesn't hijack the Windoze machines of some of our more clueless ppp users. Any pointers would be very helpful (please don't just say RTFM - I did, but it didn't make too much sense to me).

FIX: __register_frame_info/dpkg/apt problem
For all of you who have been bitten by this problem, here is your quickie solution. Go to http://blevins.simplenet.com/foobar/ Download the .debs there, and upgrade/downgrade to these versions using dpkg (which should still work). I would put these packages on hold for a few days til the problem gets fixed on your mirrors. After you are feeling adventurous, take them off hold. If this breaks things again, go back to foobar and: download rinse repeat.

Then put a hold on your dpkg to keep it from getting upgraded (until a fixed one is on the mirrors). Hope this helps, -Mitch

One for the basics (the minimal linux) and others extending from there. If we don't do this we could rule out some linux machines from being considered linux (like the cli only web/file servers running on 486s around my house:) We should also be VERY VERY carefull that we don't end up favoring one desktop over another... all kinds of hell would break loose :) Greg Hayes I agree that even trying to standardize the look and feel for a linux dekstop is a bad idea. I would like to see a standard that defines some basic ways for software to communicate. Examples: - Drag Drop ... What kind of protocol should be used ( KDE and gnome has different ofcourse!) - How to access mimetypes - How to install and read application definitions ( kdelnk files etc.) - How to install an application in a menu. - Protocoll for communication between panel and applets. - Perhaps some kind of OLE/COM alike standard. I think its good to try to standardize the interfaces not the implementations / look and feel. //Mats Loman
