Re: pon no se que esta haciendo
El Sat, Dec 12, 1998 at 06:47:00PM +, Javier Viñuales Gutiérrez dijo: Hola a todos, cuando lanzo el ppp mediante pon me salen un mogollón de mensajes que antes no aparecían (y que no aparecen si lanzo la conexión mediante kppp): [...] Dec 12 19:43:58 akela pppd[691]: rcvd [LCP EchoReq id=0xa5 magic=0xda86d1] Dec 12 19:43:58 akela pppd[691]: sent [LCP EchoRep id=0xa5 magic=0x734e0ba0] [...] y así hasta el infinito... ..e incluso trancurrido cierto tiempo se me para la conexión (no pasa con kppp). ¿Cómo lo puedo arreglar? Como te puedes dar cuenta, los mensajes aparecen cada 4 segundos. A mi me pasó lo mismo. Esto tiene que ver con la opción lcp-echo-interval en el archivo /etc/ppp/options. En el mío yo tengo lo siguiente: [empieza] # If this option is given, pppd will send an LCP echo-request frame to # the peer every n seconds. Under Linux, the echo-request is sent when # no packets have been received from the peer for n seconds. Normally # the peer should respond to the echo-request by sending an echo-reply. # This option can be used with the lcp-echo-failure option to detect # that the peer is no longer connected. lcp-echo-interval 600 [termina] Si no quieres que pppd verifique la conexión, puedes quitar esta línea y no volverán a aparecer estos mensajes (por lo menos, eso creo...)

Menus locales en Hamm/Slink
Ayer consegui tener en mi casa (hamm) menus locales en xwindow, simplemente generando un fichero identico a los gue vienen en un paquete, colocandolo en /etc/menu/ y diciendole que esa entrada de menu viene del paquete local. Pues esto en el slink de la faena (menu 1.5-12) no me funciona. ¿Alguien tiene alguna idea de porque? -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Jordi Román Mejiase-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Autònoma ObertaServei de InformàticaUniversitat Autónoma de Barcelona /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ ?package(local.sesiones):needs=text section=Maquinas title=sh [EMAIL PROTECTED] command=ssh -C -l aoadmd ponent ?package(local.sesiones):needs=text section=Maquinas title=sh [EMAIL PROTECTED] command=ssh -C -l aoadmd migjorn ?package(local.sesiones):needs=text section=Maquinas title=sh [EMAIL PROTECTED] command=ssh -C -l aoadm marinada ?package(local.sesiones):needs=text section=Maquinas title=sh [EMAIL PROTECTED] command=ssh -C -l aoadm xaloc ?package(local.sesiones):needs=text section=Maquinas title=sh [EMAIL PROTECTED] command=ssh -C -l gtides ponent ?package(local.sesiones):needs=text section=Maquinas title=sh [EMAIL PROTECTED] command=ssh -C -l gtitest ponent ?package(local.sesiones):needs=text section=Maquinas title=sh [EMAIL PROTECTED] command=ssh -C -l gti marinada

Re: Mesa 3-D Y Voodoo2
On Fri, 11 Dec 1998, Carlos Sosa Gonzalez wrote: Hola a todos: Estoy interesado en hacer programación Grafica 3D utilizando Mesa 3-D y el chipset de 3Dfx Voodoo2. Centrándose la marca Creative Labs hay se ofertas dos tarjetas: 1 - 3D Blaster Voodoo2 (la clásica) 2 - 3D Blaster Banshee La segunda es más barata (unas 7.000 pts de diferencia)que la primera, tiene mas memoria (16 frente a 12 Mb) y aparentemente parece mas efeciente. Sin embargo por las especificaciones técnicas me da la impresión de que es mas 2D que 3D, y que la primera tiene mas potencias para mover texturas Los vendedores de la tiendas informáticas no te saben explicar claramente la diferencias tecnicas y se limitan a venderte el producto que mas les interesa. Ahora parece que toca la Bashee. ¿Alguien podria aportarme un poco de luz sobre el tema para ayudarme a tomar una decision? La Voodoo 2 es mas rapida en 3D que la Banshee, me parace que la primera tiene dos unidades de calculo de texturas y la segunda solo tiene una, la cual se suplememta con mas memoria y un aumento de la frecuencia del Banshee. La verdad es que he visto las dos y he jugado con el G-Police (un poquito) en la tienda de un colega. La diferecncia se nota en altisimas resoluciones(mas de 1024x800x24bits). La PC Actual del mes de Noviembre habla de ellas. Yo estoy frito por comprarme una de ellas, lo mas seguro una Voodoo 2, pero como no tiene soporte para las Xfree, ooo Ya lo tienen...?? Ah!! el driver de Open-GL de la Banshee no se como se comporta, pues para el Quake II trae su propio mini-OpenGL (Sobervio). jejeje creo que he sembrado la duda mas que aclarar algo... jeje. /\_ \[EMAIL PROTECTED] \/_/\ \ _ __ ._. __ \ \ \ /\___ \ /\ \ /| |/\ \ __ \ \ \\/| __ \\ \ \|| |\ \ \ /\ \_\_\ \/\ \L\ \\ \ \| | \ \ \_\V/_ \ \__/\ \/ \ \___| \ \_\ d o o b \/_/ \/___/ \/__/\/_/ \\_// +-oo-oo-+ | CMA (Centro de Microelectronica Aplicada) | | U.L.P.G.C. | |Canary Islands | +---+ | Mientras que TODOS hos empe#ais en arreglar | | el Futuro, nosotros los Ingenieros, lo intentamos | | Inventar. ;) | +---+

Problema con los menus
Hace un rato he mandado un mail comentandoc que la configuracion de menus locales que tengo en casa no me funciona igual en la maquina del trabajo. Pues bien la situacion es mas grave, no se me actualiza ningun menu de ningun paquete. Me he dado cuenta al instalar el goshtview ya que no me ha creado el menu pertinente. Alguien me sugiere alguna cosa. PD1: ya he reinstalado el paquete menu (las versiones 1.5.12 y 1.5-18) supongo que debe ser alguna cosa de los menu-methods.

Vamos a ver, resulta que uso para listas de correo tkrat+sendmail+fetchmail+procmail y pine para otros menesteres. Cuando me llega un correo nuevo se queda en /var/spool/mail/root, el watcher de tkrat me avisa y me voy directamente a los mensajes nuevos y al leerlos permanecen en /var/spool/mail/root, cosa que no pasa al ejecutar mail desde el shell y abandonarlo con q, lo mete en ~/mbox y ya no es visible desde pine. Veamos, como veo que me estoy haciendo un lio voy al grano... ...necesito unificar un poco el tema de los directorios y carpetas de correo para usarlo desde clientes diferentes. ¿Alguien me puede aconsejar cómo hacer esto de forma que si me da por probar otros clientes de correo algún día no tenga que empezar desde cero?. Se agradece cualquier orientación,... ya que yo estoy un pelín perdi do %-? GRACIAS -- Javier Viñuales Gutiérrez [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Fetchmail no me tira??
El 14-12-98 a las 12:34h, [EMAIL PROTECTED], despierto y en pleno uso de sus facultades mentales; comentó inteligéntemente: Al lio, no me tira fetchmail, así que para recojer el correo he de utilizar netscape, ¿qué hago mal en mi .fetmailrc o en la llamada?. Para llamar a fetchmail hago: fetchmail -d 600 -v -L /root/etc/fetchmail.log Yo utilizo un fetchmail a pelo, sin ningún parámetro. y mi .fetchmailrc es así: # # .fetchmailrc # defaults # Comandos comunes a todos los servidores fetchall# - Coger todos los mensajes en el buzon #flush # - Borrar todos los mensajes ya recogidos # en anteriores llamadas al servidor poll pop.ctv.es # Indica el primer servidor al que llamar user vigu # Nombre de usuario (cuenta) en este servidor pass # Password para esta cuenta de correo to root # Usuario local al que enviar el correo Te pongo el mío a ver si te funciona. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- # mi fichero .fetcmailrc poll databaseint.databasedm.es protocol auto: dns, user jcp, flush, password mu_difísil; poll pop.ctv.es protocol pop3: dns, user jjcp328, keep, password este_musho_má; -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- Fíjate que en la segunda cuenta (la de ctv) uso keep en lugar de flush, te lo pongo a modo de ejemplo, es lo que deberías utilizar hasta que tengas el tema del correo configurado, así no perderás mensajes ya que estos se conservan en el servidor (bueno, veo que esto ya lo sabes). ¿qué hago mal?. No se, quizá deberias poner: poll pop.ctv.es # Indica el primer servidor al que llamar user vigu # Nombre de usuario (cuenta) en este servidor with pass # Password para esta cuenta de correo is root here # Usuario local al que enviar el correo Cómo le indico a sendmail que por ejemplo envíe el correo de la cola de mensajes cada 10 minutos, y si no estoy conectado en ese momento ¿dará error o me lo mantendrá en la cola hasta nueva conexión?. Parámetro -q al arrancarlo, esto sólo funcionará si lo arrancas en modo endemoniado, ( con -bd ). p.e : -q5m examina la cola cada 5 min. Una de las premisas del protocolo SMTP es que en mensaje no debe perderse jamás, así que si no lo puede enviar lo mantendrá en la cola hasta que sea posible el envio, o te lo devolverá cuando pase el tiempo máximo que hayas definido en sendmail.cf. Las opciones serán algo como: .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Comentario jugoso (podría ir al linux-qmd)... Solo Linux es marca registrada de Prensa Técnica (la editorial de Linux Actual), cuando los de Tower se enteraron después de sacar el nº1 de la susodicha entonces le añadieron al título Programadores, así que se puede leer Solo (Programadores) Linux con lo de Programadores en vertical con respecto al título y en pequeñito. Los de Prensa Técnica son muy listillos y lo registraron al registrar Linux Actual porque querían el binomio Programación Actual - Linux Actual pero no el de la competencia Solo Programadores - Solo Linux, muy listos ellos.

I've just solved this (it isn't very difficult), if you're interested my solution follows: I tried to install libstdc++2.8 2.90.29-2, this doesn't work but it is sufficient to have replaced my old libstdc++2.8 package - if only with an unconfigured one. Now that the old libstdc++2.8 is replaced I have a package without the dependency bug installed so it will now let me install libc6 2.0.7u-7.1, which in turn lets me configure libstdc++2.8 2.90.29-2.

Re: resolve.conf specification
BTW, not only it would have to be able to choose the right resolv.conf file, but also the right pap-secrets file, I believe... or I think there's a way of writing different userIDs and passwords in pap-secrets... ? You must have missed the earlier part of the thread. Supposedly, pppconfig will deal with it all, except for the /etc/resolv.conf; ie, the nameservers to use. Easiest thing to do about it is to use your own DNS, on your own machine. You could run a caching only nameserver which would work for any and all ISP's you might ever use. OR, as is done with NetBSD, use your /etc/options file to call a script that copies/renames or links the proper resolv.conf for each one. I choose to use my own DNS, in caching only mode, but thats mostly because my ISP sucks, and either their nameserver or mailserver is down every other day. paul

I tweaked my Linux box too much!
I know you know the old saying, If it's not broke don't fix it. I was trying to tweak my X Window System display by running XF86Setup utility. I had had a nice display setup already but I thought if I tinkered with it some more I could get pictures to be little sharper than they were in netscape. ( I have a 4 MB AGP Diamond Stealth Card ) After I changed some settings I saved them and exited the program. When I rebooted the system, it went through the standard boot-up routine except when it got to xdm my screen went blank and everything locked up. I figured that if I new how to disable xdm, I could boot up to just the Linux command line and run XF86Setup again, but I do not know what config file to edit in order to disable xdm.

This will put you into single-user mode, from which you can edit your /etc/inittab on the line that says something like id:5:initdefault: and switch the 5 (or whatever it is) to a 2 Reboot, and now you are in multi-user, but without xdm starting auto- matically. -Mitch

Re: diald setup problem
I'm having trouble setting up diald on my Linux box. The problem I have right now, which I haven't been able to figure out for the last couple of hours, is that ppp0, when the link comes up, assumes the IP address assigned to eth0. I just cannot figure out how it gets it! I found out what the reason for this was: It appears that pppd was trying to find out what the IP address of ppp0 is by looking at /etc/hosts, which had an entry for the host, which was meant for eth0. Adding noipdefault as an option to pppd solved the problem. I still have other problems but I hope to investigate a little more before asking for help.:-) Thanks, Fumi Okushi

Buslogic BT-958 failing with Exabyte 8200 8mm tape drive

[Off Topic] Creative Hardware Question
It's late, and I have a meeting in something like 7 hours to talk about this subject, so I thought I might post a question here to see what my fellow Debian users think. Given the WebPad from Cyrix (http://www.cyrix.com/html/emerging/index.htm), the Netwinder from Corel (http://www.corelcomputer.com/ and http://www.netwinder.org/ ) and some other interesting hardware and pro-Linux stuff out there: What would make a near-perfect mobil/palm-top/mini/whatever Linux device? For example 12.1 Reflective AMLCD Resistive touch screen (the reflective would make this hard, but...) StrongARM processor 32 Meg memory wireless ethernet PCMCIA support ? Audio IR Port? USB (eventually...) * * * (note lack of keyboard, mouse, hard drive, CD-ROM drive, etc etc... in this EXAMPLE) Would it be a standalone device? An X terminal? Some other form of graphic terminal? Would battery life win out over performance? Weight over size? Is a backlight important (as opposed to reflective) ? Does it need a drive of some sort? Would a CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW suffice (assuming some network connectivity) ? So, basically, I am wondering what a Debian Linux user would want in such a device, if such a device would be desirable at all. (I really do have a meeting about something along these lines in 7 hours, but I am posing the question for some projects we have coming up soon...)

Smail and POP3
Reply-To: Hi Well I have got my X working now (finally found the old SUSE Matrox server on the Webi its gone from the SUSE hompage). Now I have a smaill Smail problem. I am using Smail to send mail and fetchmail to pull incoming mail from the company POP3 server. I have set my visable domain to be esc.azlan.co.uk useing the smail-config program and mail going to other domains is OK. However if I try and send any mail to anyone who is in my own domain (esc.azlan.co.uk) Smail bounces it back at me claiming that user does not exist. What I think is happening is that it is looking for the user on this PC and not trying to forward it to mail.esc.azlan.co.uk. When I used to use sendmail there was a DM option you could set so as to masquarade as the mail server for a domain. Basically anything going to another domain was sent direct from your machine with a header rewrite (replacing [EMAIL PROTECTED] with [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and any mail sent just to the local domain was sent to the main domain mail server. Is there a way to get this behaviur with Smail ?

Anyway, I just discovered that it existed last night, and I'm having a few problems starting it. In X, I start it with the -nofade option, and the load status bar fills up and the game apparently crashes. The window is still there, but nothing else happens. Anybody know why this is happenning? Anybody figure out how to get Maelstrom working? I had it working for a little while as root, then I set up an audio group to access /dev/audio so I could use it in my own account. This worked for a little while, too, but then stopped (for an unknown reason). It never exited very cleanly. I could still use it for some time as root, and then that stopped working, too. I'm not really pursuing it now. Hope that helps, -Joe P.

Install problem with .tgz files?
I recently bought my first computer - a Cyrix P180 without an OS - and have been trying unsuccessfully for the last week to install Linux. I hope someone can help this frustrated newbie. I first tried to install Debian 2.0 using CDs from CheapBytes. Everything went fine until it came time to install the base system, at which time the machine said it couldn't read the file base2_0.tgz. There was an error message obscured by the curses window which looked like it said something about invalid compressed data. After a bunch of fruitless fooling around, I downloaded the base system from the net onto floppies and was able to install it that way, although the system hung when it tried to reboot. I now have a bash shell, but when I now run dselect, I get a number of error messages something like the following: gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data -crc error dpkg-deb: subprocess gzip -dc returned error exit status 2 dpkg: error processing -/var/lib/dpkg/blahblahlah (-install) corrupted file system tar file corrupted package archive What's going wrong?

getting to runlevel 3 after X crash?
information junky that I am, i set rvplayer running again on friday, and it crashed X another couple of times. The bad way, so that it can't be restarted (failure in apmsync() and the blinkies). This time, I remembered that some had suggested that going to runlevel 3 rather than rebooting might solve things (somehow, when X goes down, it corrupts something badly enough that it has the sync problem when it tries to restart). I tried logging in remotely and using telint 3 as root, but when I came back to my office, it was still in a fit of the blinkies; xdm had not been killed. Do I need to do something more? (killall -9 xdm first??) And is there a way to force my video card to fully reset itself? My uninformed ignorant suspicion is that it's something on the card itself that gets reset during boot, but not upon instantiating X . . . --
how to check whether everything is installed
I thought that I had successfully installed Debian, but it so happens that bash replies command not found to just about every second command I type, including such basic things as make config. Before I lose my temper, erase everything and start from scratch - (1) How can I check which packages are and which are not installed on my system? (2) In case a particular command is not recognized, how can I find out what package is needed to make it work?

I can't find anything in the usual documentation to suggest: 1) whether this is possible or desirable, Yep, it's possible. Desirable? Depends. If you're the only one printing to it, sure. If others are printing to it also, it's probably better to point everyone to one queue instead of having multiple queues serving the same printer. Otherwise, two people printing at the same time will force their respective queues to fight for supremacy. 2) how to go about it? I was afraid you were going to ask that.

NT box, so I can't look up my printcap on that machine that I know worked). Basically everything's the same except you add the rm=ip.address.of.remote.printer line and the rp=name_of_remote_printer line. Also, filters are not run for remote printers, IIRC, so my filter line is essentially ignored. In order to run a filter for a remote printer, you have to use a bounce queue, which means addding a bq=printcap_entry_that_runs_the_filter line. You can read about it I think in man printcap, but don't quote me on it. Any clues gratefully received.

Re: Remote printing
On Mon, Dec 14, 1998 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote (in part): I'd like to print directly to a networked laser printer that has its own IP address. I print to an HP LaserJet 8000 N directly from Linux, both plain-text files (lpr file-name) and graphics (using Netscape). Since the printer is IP addressable and PostScript ready, I don't need an intermediary print server machine or any fancy filtering (except a hacked-together banner page generator; see below). The only trick in all this is that filtering if= and remote printing rm= are mutually exclusive in printcap, so I print locally to a spool (lp) that filters and redirects to the real print spool (uswswdpt). This is done in the same script that adds the banner page. There must be more elegant ways to do this, but this has worked for me for a long time. Be aware that this is specific to my particular environment; e.g. the script that adds the banner adds TWO page ejects because the printer is printing on both sides of the paper. A final caveat: I set this up in my old Slackware days (I'm now running hamm), so this may not be the good Debian way to go about things.

If you have net access, try pointing dselect to an ftp site and install a package you've already tried and see if it installs properly.

You might search the web for references to Cyrix and Linux.

Martin Smith According to: http://electron.phys.dal.ca/Hardware-HOWTO-4.html A few very early AMD 486DX's may hang in some special situations. All current chips should be okay and getting a chip swap for old CPU's should not be a problem. ULSI Math*Co series has a bug in the FSAVE and FRSTOR instructions that causes problems with all protected mode operating systems. Some older IIT and Cyrix chips may also have this problem. However, I doubt this relates to you. Other sites I scanned indicate that there's no problem between recent Cyrix chips and Linux, so you can probably ignore my earlier suggestion to that effect. I'd still suspect other hardware issues. Also, you might try tinkering with some of the settings in CMOS (turn off Power Management, etc).
