WindowMaker sin locales
Hola!! Si alguno estais utilizando el WindowMaker de SLink o de Potato fijaros que tiene un bug: no se instala el Nacional Language Support (u lo que es lo mismo el soporte para idiomas extranjeros). Yo a veces soy muy obsesivo, y me he vuelto loco a probar todas las versiones que hay en Slink y Potato y veo que en todas pasa lo mismo. Lo curioso es que me he bajado las fuentes del último paquete y lo he compilado yo mismo, y a mí si que me ha creado el paquete correcto con soporte diferentes idiomas. Por tanto lo que he hecho: - Mandar un aviso de bug al mantenedor. Creo que el error es fácilemnte subsanable. Seguro que lo que le pasa es que ha eliminado de su sistema el gettext o alguna utilidad. - Instalarme mi versión del WindowMaker. Al respecto de esto último, pues deciros que tengo un precioso paquete hecho por mi mismo de el WindowMaker 0.20.3 (última versión salida) para hamm (no hace falta que os bajeis nuevas librerías ni la nueva versión de las Xlib). Si alguno está interesado en instalarse en su Hamm la última versión del WindowMaker, que me lo comente. AVISO: Se trata de una versión para uso personal. Ni me hago responsable de lo que pueda hacer ni forma parte de la distribución Linux. Ateneros a las consecuencias.

Re: lp and Debian 2.0 (More info)
Thanks Sean -- Actually, I don't think it even uses the ppa module to get the zip drive. When I try to modprobe ppa, it says 'can't locate module ppa', even after I've done modprobe -r ppa. I've also looked in /proc/modules and /etc/conf.modules for something that looks like the ppa module, and I don't see it. And yet the zip drive functions. Is is possible that while I set the system up for the lp module, the ppa driver is loaded into the kernal? If so, I didn't even know this was possible. Does anyone know if you need to select the ppa module on install from the scsi modules section? Seems like I looked in there and didn't see it (and it detected the zip drive from the get-go).

Re: rotating log files
The problem wasn't what I thought it was..:-)
Most of my PCs are turned on when necessary and turned off
when not. The default Debian setup is to do run-parts
/etc/cron.daily in the morning (6:42am), but my PCs are most
likely to be turned off at that time. So no rotations are
done. (I can change the time to day time, but still
there'll be no guarantee that the PCs will be up at that
time.)
Although I cannot confirm this anymore, it appears to be the
case when I was running Debian 1.2 or 1.3 that when I turned
on the PC, it somehow knew that it had to do run-parts
/etc/cron.daily and would do so. Maybe it was a result of
some misconfiguration, but the important this to me was that
the log files were rotated when I turned on the PC. Now I
have Debian 2.0 on all my PCs and this no longer happens.
So the question is, has there been a change in either
/usr/sbin/cron or /etc/init.d/cron ?
If there had never been such a feature (and I was getting it
because of some misconfiguration:-)), I think it would be a
nice feature to add to /etc/init.d/cron. Have some files to
keep track of when /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly} last ran
(touch /etc/cron.daily-lastrun should be sufficient), and
/etc/init.d/cron (on start) can check the timestamps to see
whether it should run them directly.

Well, it depends what features you want. If you want to stay in touch with friendsI'd suggest zicq. It's a nice small program, that does not take up almost any memory and CPU.

The package anacron provides this functionality.
Package: anacron
Priority: extra
Section: admin
Installed-Size: 65
Version: 2.0.1-2
Replaces: pe
Depends: libc6, sysklogd, smail | sendmail | mail-transport-agent
Recommends: cron (= 3.0pl1-43)
Description: a cron-like program that doesn't go by time
Anacron (like `anac(h)ronistic') is a periodic command scheduler. It
executes commands at intervals specified in days. Unlike cron, it
does not assume that the system is running continuously. It can
therefore be used to control the execution of daily, weekly and
monthly jobs (or anything with a period of n days), on systems that
don't run 24 hours a day. When installed and configured properly,
Anacron will make sure that the commands are run at the specified
intervals as closely as machine-uptime permits.
.
This package is pre-configured to execute the daily jobs of the Debian
system. You should install this program if your system isn't powered on
24 hours a day to make sure the maintenance jobs of other Debian packages
are executed each day.

Is there an easy spiffy Debian way to make it run from inetd like
there is with exim? Or do I have to do it myself? (I do know about
update-inetd.)
I haven't found an automatic way, so I strongly suspect that there
isn't one, but I haven't looked very hard, either. If there isn't
one, perhaps there should be. With exim, all I have to do to toggle

Re: email
Well I have decided to stick with Debian. Wise choice. I still don't have X-windows. I do have my mouse working now:) So did you confirm it is a PS/2 mouse, using /dev/psaux? solution: Do 'adduser user_name dip' but got The command adduser does not exist. Have you installed the adduser package? Do a dpkg --status adduser to see if you have or not. If you haven't, then install it. The other command you might find very useful is locate adduser which will find all files with the adduser in the name. Well actually, the database that locate uses is only updated daily so it won't find stuff which is very recent. (If you want to update the database immediately you can do /etc/cron.daily/find but it takes a while and normally the automatic daily update is good enough.) I also can't figure out how to bring up Mailx. Under dselect it says it is installed but when I type in mailx nothing happens. I'm not sure what Mailx is - I haven't ever used it. I have the latest Debian what is the easiest way or programs to use, in order to use email? I would recommend exim as your mail transport agent. It is relatively easy to configure and maintain - and has quite good documentation. Exim is used to replace sendmail (or smail). To read your email I would recommend exmh (and install the nmh package as well). Exmh is a graphical email browser which works quite well. I am writing this email using it. Woopse, to use exmh, you need to have X up and running. Use pine or elm for console email, and then when you have X running, use exmh. I also can't figure out how to find clear documentation on my system. There are a range of different sources for documentation. The directory /usr/doc is an important one - it contails all sorts of documentation for different packages on the system, as well as FAQs and HOWTOs. Are you familiar with unix? Do you know about the man command. If not, do man man (man stands for manual). There is also a lot of documentation in info files. When you have X up and running, install tkinfo. outlined in a book I have, using ghostscript and zcat, using either one I get Command doesn't exist. gs is provided by either the package gs or the package gs-aladdin. zcat is provided by the package gzip. Check that these are installed. If you want to look at postscript files, the program gv is best - again, get X working first. If you want to read .gz files, then use zless. I put in cd HOWTO and then ls I can see a mail-HOWTO.gz but can't figure out how to read it. Could someone point the way as to how to read files on my system? As I said above, make sure the gzip package is installed, then type zless mail-HOWTO.gz in the correct directory.

AAGGHH! Netscape installer package screws with how command works
I just discovered why the netscape command no longer runs a separate version of Netscape (which I wanted in order to prevent crashes triggered by one web page from killing my main Netscape process displaying other web pages): Instead of just tracking installed files and wrapping environment setup, the Debian installer package for Netscape also _significantly_ changes how the netscape command works--it uses the -remote option, whether you want it to or not. That might usually be a nice feature, but the installer doesn't give you any way to get at the original command (without ignoring everything else in the wrapper script). More importantly, there is NO appropriate documentation of this change from how the original program works. There is no Debian.readme file (of changes from how the standard Netscape distribution works). There is no manual page. (The package's Debian change log file does mention this feature, but one shouldn't have to look through a history of every change to piece together information on the current state.) Daniel

Kernighan Ritchie will teach you C syntax but syntax is really not the main thing you want to learn IMHO. i.e. learn programming, not C. C is merely incidental. The classic text used in many CS 101 courses is Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. I'm sure any decent intro to programming text would be OK though. The key is to learn about data structures, algorithms, types, abstraction and so on. C can be terrible without proper guidance because it has no built-in syntax to make these things natural. It is a very low-level language and encourages bad habits and beginner mistakes. I would recommend the Gtk+ and glib source code; this is nice code that shows how to use C well, and it will give you data structure routines to play with. It is also fun and interesting, since windows on the screen are always niftier than text-mode hello world programs. I think Beginning Linux Programming (Wrox Press) and Linux Application Development (Addison-Wesley) are both nice books about Unix programming with a Linux focus, but they assume you already have some C under your belt. Of course, part of learning to program on Linux is learning Emacs or vi, and religiously defending your choice; and you'll probably need to know something about make. Havoc

exim mail to certain sites fails
Recently I've been trying to get exim set up in the hopes of getting more versatility than can be had using Netscape for mail. However, I find that while choosing eximconfig option 2 worked fine with no tweaking at all, for mail to some destinations, mail to some sites disappears every time, without any error messages (Neither from other sites, nor in my exim log, which records successful delivery to my ISP). Mail sent with NC4.x arrives reliably at all test destinations. I have 2 different versions of Debian installed on different partitions of this pc, and the exim mail problems are the same with both. I have tried to simplify the test by sending one msg cc'd to several destinations, and this results in the same consistent failures to some sites and success to others. Any suggestions?
Re: NIS/something equivalent + security
Ben,
Make sure you add 'nis' as an option in /etc/nsswitch.conf for passwd: and
group: and it will work with anything that uses the local libs (libc) for
getting local informations. Any program worth it's code should do this, I
don't know of any that don't.
I hope that includes pine. Most of my users use pine for mail and
they quite like it.
As long as you setup your client systems so that they don't use broadcast
for NIS server discovery then you are safe there. Also make sure that the
NIS server only answers requests to the local network by using
/etc/hosts.{allow,deny} on the server (I think NIS is compiled with
libwrap atleast, if not there is a NIS file to set this up also).
Ok. I didn't know you could make NIS only to listen requests from
specific machines. I guess passwords are sent clear-text, but then, we're
supposed to have an intelligent concentrator/hub so the machines only
receive packets for their own IPs.
Whatever, I've decided to install NIS in the future. That is,
after christmas. ;)
Thanks a lot for your help.

You don't need to cry for help on Debian mailing lists - we try to help everybody :-) I am having a problem with XFree86 and its detection of my video card. I cannot find a solution in any of the normal references, so I thought I would put it out to the list. No problem :) I am running an NEC P100 with 16M ram. Hda is FAT16 with Chicago (Windows94++) on it, hdb contains Debian 'hamm'. I boot Debian from a floppy. Why not use LILO? Put the following into /etc/lilo.conf, run LILO and be happy :) --- CUT --- boot=/dev/hda root=/dev/hdb1 -- you might have to adjust this install=/boot/boot.b default=Chicago -- change this to Linux if you got used to it :) map=/boot/map vga=normal prompt -- forces LILO into prompt on boot other=/dev/hda1 label=Chicago image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only --- CUT --- After calling /sbin/lilo you should get Chicago added * and Linux added. Then, after reboot, enter the name of the OS you want to use, eg Chicago or Linux. This will probably not work if you BIOS does not support a second IDE disk but I guess this is not the case on a Pentium 100 :) The video chipset is an Alliance ProMotion6422PCI, 1M video ram, 24bit internal RamDac, and a 6422 internal clock chip. The chipset is not mounted on a PCI card, but is mounted on the NEC mainboard (as is the SB Pro II sound 'card'). The monitor is a 1024x768 SVGA multisync. The problem: I can download the necessary XF86 .debs and the VGA server and XF86 will run fvwm95 perfectly in VGA mode. If I download and install the SVGA server, and configure it for the Alliance Promotion chipset (which is supposedly supported by the SVGA server)-- crash. The windows session either aborts or freezes dead. That's not good :( After an abort, the bash screen contains many lines -- mode 1024x768 not supported, ignoring. mode 800x600 not supported, ignoring (or something close to this) and so on for all the video resolutions. When 320x200 isn't supported, you know there's a problem!! Normally XFree will not switch to graphics mode without a supported video mode. Weird. I cannot figure out why the SVGA server cannot drive a supported chipset. I have downloaded the SVGA .deb three times all with the same results, so I do not believe it is a corrupted file. AFAIK dpkg will not install a corrupted file. But I never had that problem. One of the many places I was looking for information (cannot remember which one now) said that there were sometimes discrepancies between how video cards handled certain operations and allocated memory, and how the exact same on-board video chipsets performed these same functions. Is this what is happening with my system? Is XF86 expecting a PCI Alliance Promotion chipset which behaves a certain way, and is instead finding something different? And the bigger question -- does anyone know what I can do to correct/ bypass/ fool the system and get the SVGA server up and running? 640x480 is okay for a while, but I really would like to have the same higher resolutions I have on the 'other' OS! *eg* Yeah, of course :) I am sorry but I have no idea where the problem is. Could you please supply some additional information? I would appreciate your XF86Config and the error output of your SVGA server. You get the error output of XF86_SVGA with X 2xerr (for example). Please copy XF86Config (from /etc/X11/) and send your xerr with your next email - hopefully this will aid us to figure out your problem.

Re: Serial consoles
Hi! Shane Wegner ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I posted here a few months ago about getting the Debian installation process to work on a serial console over a null modem connection to a vt100 terminal. ... in a dos directory. My question is will simply rebuilding that linux file as a developement kernel and editing install.bat appropriately be enough or do I need to modify anything on root.bin? Also, do I have to rebuild You need to modify root.bin! gunzip it, mount it via loop and replace /dev/console. ohh - wait - /dev/console isn't used by the installation program. maybe you need to kludge around and make /dev/tty1 the same as /dev/console. Check /usr/src/linux/Documentation/serial-console.txt for details. drv1440.bin with the 2.1 modules and what modules and kernel compile options should I enable for the Debian install program to go smoothly? You need to change /dev/console in base*.tgz, too. I suppose you needn't change anything else if you don't use modules - compile the needed stuff into the kernel. Of course you can switch back to a modularized kernel when installation is finished.

Re: WordPerfect: a Joke?
patrik plead, The Personal Edition includes only WordPerfect, not other programs. And there probably arent't that many people who need the equation editor that are allowed to use the Personal Edition, since IIRC the license doesn't allow it to be used for education. Bt writing a paper for a class would be personal se . . . You can always use LaTeX or LyX instead. Though that might be a lot of work if you're migrating from Word or something. LaTeX, maybe, but not LyX. You'll have to read the section on writing equations, but it's so much easier to use than any equation editor i've ever seen for a wordprocessor that you get your time back in the first few equations. Forget being forced to use the mouse to get around the equation . . . (though you can if you want) But then, a document is just a way to display and explain your equations . . .

Then, when you cron time hits, it updates the time (for anacron) and runs your scripts again. This way, if my system is left off for a week, everything gets back on schedule and it also works perfectly fine if I leave it on for a few years.

Should I by an microtek X6 scanner?
HI all I am thinking of buying a SCSI scanner and am considering the microtek X6 (has nice features and is quite cheap). Has anyone had any experience with this scanner under LINUX (slink)? In particular, what I want to check is that I should purchase the PC (rather than the MAC) version and that I can plug it directly into my SCSI port (my adapter is an Adaptec AHA2940). Among other things, I am worried that it could screw up my HD which is on the same controler (even though the X6 is SCSI II). On the software side, it appears that SANE and GIMP should do the trick, so I am less worried about that. thanks in advance for any help (or other suggestions) Richard

I ran a system for 3 months and had to reboot from what I think is buffers taking up so much space (although that makes no sense to me, and I'm sure to get a followup saying that I'm wrong). The worst problem was the buffers taking up enough space to prevent me from allocating dma buffers for my sound card. Next, check ps aux and see what is taking up lots of memory. Kill the offending program and see how that improves memory. I'm anxious to try a 2.1 kernel to see if memory handling has improved much, especially those dma buffers. HTH, Brandon

LILO does not determine memory size for the Linux kernel. The BIOS call to determine memory size could originally return a maximum of 64MB. Recent (i.e. = Pentium) machines support an alternate BIOS call that can report 64MB. Newer kernels use this new BIOS call if available.

Re: WP 8 problem
The free download version is in fact _very_ useful for anything which is plain text/tables/etc so long as you don't need equations or drawing capbilities. I couldn't have said it better myself. However, it would have been fair dealing for Corel to make the true limitations clear beforehand. I think that in ALL European countries people pay by the minute for phone connections, and getting WP8 cost me at least $5 (equivalent). Once again, right to the point. I don't think Corel were straightforward about this. Their Web page said the download was a Fully functional word processor (which it isn't, even compared with WP-5.1 -- i.e. equations, though you can still import grahics e.g. jpeg); and that the commercial version would include in addition Advanced drawing and charting applicationsd with online Help -- no mention of equations, and Advanced suggests that Basic drawing and charting applications would be available. Corel has done exactly as one should have expected. They published a fully functional word processor, which didn't contain any of the fancy things one can expect from a full-fledged office suite of apps. Corel stated those facts in a way that makes you want to download the program, test it for yourself, and when you find that those things you nned to be really productive (for the college student I am, doing it's physical sciences studies, equation handling is a required thing). The fact is, Although it's a full-fledged word processor, WordPerfect 8 for linux is intended to promote the sales of Corel's WordPerfect Suite. Now that this is said and done, I'd like to add a last thing: It's free guys. You don't have the right to complain. YOU made the decision to download it, and pay the phone bill. It's not Corel's fault. And if you aren't used to being 'tricked' (this is hardly a trick, but anyway) like that, you aren't living in the same world I am. EVERY single company in the world wants you to pay them. They are going to use all tricks possible, and permitted by law. Even giving you freely a powerful app as WordPerfect is. BTW: I have nothing against Corel, I downloaded WordPerfect 8 and I am pretty satisfied of what it is. It is what I expected all along, something to make them earn even more money.

I want a complet installl of all the programing tools no matter how off the beaten track however I am not interested in backward compatability. It may be a bit premature to question yall on this but I noticed as I installed perl and python that Lib5 was coming up and conflicting. I chose to avoid Lib5 unless it did not interfier but would like some clarification as to wether or not my thinking is corect ie lib5 is only needed for backward compatibility AND should be avoided to enable the new stuff...though now I cant remember what the conflict was.maby TK ver 6 ...brain dump at 2am any way hope this is helpful to some one I even wrote down the make config params I forgot the X stuf but i think some one out there knows how to help me get it if you need it.

RE: XConfig
You need (or at least I needed) to manually set the server to use (I think it is in the xserverrc file, or something like that), it took me quite a while before I had figured out why X would not start in a high-res mode :) J.T.

There was XSetup that came with XServer_VGA16 pacakge, but I believe you require X running already (please correct me if I am wrong!). Please suggest how I could configure my XServer. Ok, just download the x-base and xserver packages that fit your video card, and other dependencies. Then, login as root ( still in consile mode, you can not run X without configuring it first) and type xf86config THis will run a config program that will let you configure video card/monitor/keyboard/mouse for X.
