Felicidades a todos por esta navidad, y año nuevo. La lista esta cool. Gracias por la ayuda.
RE: Traspasar el sistema a lo bestia
Hola. Me presento en esta lista... Saludos a los de R34.LINUX. Y Feliz Navidad! Disco con Linux: /dev/hda1 Disco nuevo: /dev/hda2 $ cp /dev/hda1 /dev/hda2 Esto funciona solo en el caso de que el tamaño de las particiones sea igual. Sino, tendras un precioso hueco particionado, pero sin usar. Ahora bien: 1. ¿No es necesario formatear antes el disco nuevo?¿Como? De esta forma, no. Pero de todas formas, tienes el problema que he dicho con la capacidad DE LA PARTICION. Hay que recordar que /dev/hda1 y /dev/hda2 son particiones del mimso disco duro. 2. ¿Que pasa si el disco nuevo es de mayor capacidad? Supongo que te referiras a la partición más bien. Lo que pasa es que tienes un sistema de archivos más pequeño que la partición, es decir, pierdes capacidad. Lo que hice yo: 1.) Formatear la particion de destino: # mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdDESTINO 2.) Crear un directorio de montaje temporal: # mkdir /mnt/tmp 3.) Montar la particion recien formateada en el temporal. # mount /dev/hdDESTINO /mnt/tmp 4.) Desmontar todas las cosas que cuelguen de ese sistema de archivos (en mi caso /proc, /mnt/dos/*, /mnt/floppy y /mnt/cdrom), excepto el /mnt/tmp. 5.) Despues ejecutar: (en mi caso SitioOrigen era el /): # cp -x -a SitioOrigen /mnt/tmp 6.) Con esto ya esta listo. Lo mejor de todo es que aun por encima te conserva los links perfectamente, y no copia el directorio /mnt/tmp ni lo que tiene montado. Un saludo.

Re: xbase problem (2.0_

It failed to install some required config files, and dpkg even sugested I file a bug report against it. I haven't used dpkg, but dselect seems to do the same thing. You should answer no during the automatic install when it asks if you want to create a config file. After everything is installed enter /usr/sbin/xbase-configure logged on as root. You might have to add force at the end of the command.

apt - wmaker 0.20.3
I've got Debian 2.0 (Hamm) installed and want to jump up to Window Maker 0.20. Earlier this week I tried using dselect to just upgrade wmaker and the packages it depended on, but dselect decided that I should upgrade everything to what was in the unstable ftp directory. From listening in on this group, it sounds like apt-get would be a better way to upgrade a particular package and it's dependencies, without spending hours downloading everything else. Can I simply download the following *.deb files, install them from bottom up with dpkg --install, and then use apt-get to upgrade just window maker and it's dependencies? Will this break anything else (like my package database, or my ability to build programs, etc.)? Here's the packages that apt says it depends on: apt_0_1_9.deb lib6_2_0_7v-1.deb ldso_1.9.9-5.deb libstd++2_9_2_91_60-1.deb Thanks much. By the way, I got my HP 890C configured for black and white draft, normal and best printing, so if anyone is interested, I can give them the procedure. Seems like this is common enough (lots of people have deskjets beyond a 550C) that it should go into the FAQ or something, especially now that Ghostscript 5.10 is free). CSS Christopher S.

Modem trouble, Please help!!
Semi-successful slink install to a laptop. On setup reboot, pppconfig ran and I setup my ISP, dialed in and was trying to get the dselect access configured when I suddenly got the following error: Usage: /sbin/getty [-hiLmw] [-l login_program] [-t timeout] [-I initstring] line baud_rate,... line [termtype] or [-hiLmw] [-l login_program] [-t timeout] [-I initstring] line baud_rate,...

Problem on customizing kenel

Re: strange windowmaker behavior
Have you tried looking under the GNUstep icon? As in drag the dock (which is the GNUstep logo) and see what's hiding under it. That's where I found the clip. -Original Message- From: Ben Messinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Debian list debian-user@lists.debian.org Date: Thursday, December 24, 1998 2:58 PM Subject: strange windowmaker behavior These problems existed using the wmaker package from hamm as well as the wmaker package from /frozen. (wmaker_0.20.3-1.deb) I am having trouble with my x sessions using windowmaker. I have windowmaker set as the default window-manager. When I run startx windowmaker starts up with no dock, only an xterm and an icon with the windowmaker logo. If I exit my session and remove the ~/GNUstep directory windowmaker runs correctly (I think). The dock and clip are there, and I can add apps to the dock, use the WPrefs app, use the clip, etc. But, as soon as I close x (even if I save session) the next time I startx the dock is gone again, and there is just the wm logo in the corner of the screen. If I remove the ~/GNUstep dir again the problem goes away, but only lasts for that session. I am new to Debian - I have recently moved to Debian from SuSE.

ip-up ip-down
Greetings, I have successfully installed Debian 2.x via FTP! Apache, smail, squid, samba. While I am having security issues, I do have a simple question, which probably is nothing more than a basic shell question. in the /etc/ppp directory there are two files, ip-up and ip-down. From what I can tell, ip-up is executed upon a successful dial-up connection to the internet, and ip-down is executed upon dropping of said connection. In the ip-up file, I need to execute: /usr/local/bin/dynipclient -p In the ip-down file, I need to execute /usr/local/bin/dynipclient -k When I add the lines, it doesn't work. dynipclient is a program, not a shell script. Anyone have the simple answer? I didn't see it in my unix book, so maybe I'm looking in the incorrect spot. Thanks, and happy holidays!

where is xmem(hamm)?
Hello fellow Debian users! When I ran bo on my system I used to have a small util named xmem running, which showed memory utilization in X11. I upgraded to Debian 2.0 a few months ago and have not yet been able to relocate xmem.

Re: Installation Partition Problem
Hi!
I am a newcomer to the Linux arena. I've been a MS

information on my HD after I run debian install,
the HD is setup into 4 Non-MSDOS partitions, and
they are all blown WAY out of proportion, like I have one, 151 MB partition
on a 120 MB hard drive,
and all the other partitions are huge. I have a
feeling that's something that's causing fdisk's
error message. Any help would be appreciated.
try to remove all partitions with M$-fdisk, it´s never an failure to
create/remove partitions with the OS which should/has worked on it

Re: Networking on/off-line.
Hi!
Greetings all,
Here's the scenario
five machines,
1 - dedicated debian box
2 - dual boot (one laptop w/debianwin95, 1 box w/debianwin98)
1 - win nt 4 workstation box
1 - win 98 box
this is the desired mode of operation:
i would like to setup an intranet of sorts. I've gone through most of the
networking mini-HOWTOs...ip-masq, intranet, etc. but i'm a bit confused.
i would like to connect all of the machines together (already done) with
samba but i would also like to setup an internet connection via a modem on
a debian box with ip masq but the ip that this box obtains is dynamic from
my dialup. This is where my confusion ariseshow do i need to setup
the other non-deb boxes so that they may surf the net also? DHCP?
use static ip´s (maybe a class-c-network -- 192.168.xxx.xx), dhcp is a
method for dynamical assigning of ip´s, which in my opinion isn´t necessary
for only five boxes
you have to install the tcp/ip-components at each wintendo box -- then you
can assign a static ip´s - but be sure each ip is uniqe ;)
install a proxy (maybe squid) or use transparent proxying (IIRC only
2.1-kernel´s) -- then you only have to config your other machines (e.g.
netscape) to use the debian-box as proxy-server
the dynamic isp-ip isn´t a real problem, the masquerading is able to let only
the packages destined for the outside through to your isp. IIRC there are
several ways to transmit internal packages to the outside (called routing)
-- and i don´t know each
On the other hand , when off-line hand i would also like to be able to let
users on the non-deb boxes to
telnet to the deb boxes when off-line. (Can you tell i'm new to this
networking thingy? ;)) Is this possible?
if so just point me in the right direction!!!
that´s no problem, if they are connected (via lan) you only have to edit
their hosts and networks -- both are in the windows-directory
(i´m not sure if this is correct for nt but for 95/98)
just my 2 cents, pleas correct me if i'm wrong ;-)
until next mail ;)

I did the following: 1. copied some .ttf fonts from my windows95 disk to /var/ttfonts 2. ran xfstt --sync 3. edited XF86Config by adding FontPath unix/:7101 as the next line in the area of XF86Config that has all the FontPath directories listed. 4. quit xwindows (fvwm95) 5. ran startx - it failed with the following error _FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 failed to set default font path ' listed all the font paths including unix/:7101 fatal server error: could not open default font fixed etc,etc I then tried the command xset +fp unix/:7101 - it failed with the following: xset: bad font path element (#38), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax. My main confusion is about the line unix/:7101. Every other entry for fonts is a path and starts with / this one doesn't. Is it a path or somthing I'm not familiar with? also which fonts.dir is it searching for? I have several on my system, but none called either unix or 7101 Have I missed something obvious? I'm running hamm if that makes a difference. Thanks for any hints. John
Re: APM on Linux?
The following is taken from debian install instructions 4.7. Advanced Power Management If your motherboard provides Advanced Power Management (APM), configure it so that power management is controlled by APM. Disable the doze, standby, suspend, nap, and sleep modes, and disable the hard-disk power-down timer. Linux can take over control of these modes, and can do a better job of power- management than the BIOS. The version of the operating sys- tem kernel on the installation floppies does not, however, use APM, because we've had reports of one laptop system crashing when the Linux APM driver is configured. Once you've installed Linux, you can install the kernel-source package and build a custom-configured version of the operating system kernel to enable APM and other features. setterm should, among other things, set power saving mode for the console. try setterm -h. I'm experiencing the same. On my machine, suspend mode usually triggers a lockup after some while. Moreover, crontabs won't run and the system clock runs slow (well, not the system clock in BIOS but the Linux one); I also use the vgetty for faxing and that didn't work anymore either. So, I chose to disable suspend in BIOS and only allow the PC to fall into standby mode. Until now, this works. BTW, I have an Asus TX97 with AMD K6-233. The apm utilities work well, (except for apm -s :)) If someone has a solution I'd be happy to learn of it. Felix ___ Felix Chang Hoogovens Research Development P.O.

Re: inc in exmh misbehaving (was: Should I be concerned about /etc/nmh/maildelivery?)
It seems that there are some messages, which I can't fully characterize, that cause Inc to terminate its action. [etc etc...] There are quite a few people who saw EXACTLY this problem (including myself). I saw a few emails on EXMH mailing list too. I think it's some corrupted email you get. Lock file is set by EXMH, once inc is done, it's supposed to be removed. You can incorporate email by running nmh inc from xterminal (not from EXMH). It'll work, but there will be no filtering, everything will end up in inbox. It happended to me in libc6 problems period in slink, did not see that again. So far I did not see reasonable explanation for that phenomena, on EXMH list too. I've been experiencing this problem too (under Hamm). I don't believe however that it is a problem with corrupted email for two reasons: 1. the commandline inc, followed by a commandline slocal sort, works fine. How exactly are you doing this ? [21:09:37 shaul]$ inc bash: inc: command not found [21:12:10 shaul]$ /usr/bin/mh/inc inc: no mail to incorporate [21:12:18 shaul]$ slocal bash: slocal: command not found [21:12:23 shaul]$ /usr/lib/mh/slocal Nothing (Is it waiting for input ?) 2. Once when this happened, I made a copy of my mail file before I manually incorporated the mail. Then I copied back the mail file, and tried to incorporate it using the inc button on exmh. This time it incorporated fine! Ie it seems to have nothing to do with the contents of the mail file. According to you it does seems an exmh problem. It would be nice if exmh could be configured to put debug information in a file somewhere - does anyone know if it can or does?

Re: Communicator Installation
I don't have my notes in front of me but the netscape-unpacked.9955 came from using a command 'tar some other letters communicator-v45' According to Sudhakar's instructions something like that was supposed to happen and I needed to use dpkg -i on netscape-unpacked.9955. If I understood him correctly. You should not use tar! You said you had the file: /root/communicator-v45-export.x86-unknown-linux2.0.tar.gz You need to copy this over to the /tmp directory, ie do cp /root/communicator-v45-export.x86-unknown-linux2.0.tar.gz /tmp Then you need to get hold of the netscape4 package from debian and put it somewhere - it will be called something like netscape4_4.0-12.deb. Suppose you put it in /root. Then to install netscape you would do dpkg --install /root/netscape4_4.0-12.deb This would automatically look in the /tmp directory, find the communicator file, and install it nicely for you.

I did /usr/bin/mh/inc +tmp Followed by the script (executed within ~/Mail/tmp): #!/bin/bash # # A little script I wrote which will go through every email in the current # directory and process it using slocal to distribute the email into the # appropriate locations. for i in [123456789]*; do /usr/lib/mh/slocal -verbose $i done 2. Once when this happened, I made a copy of my mail file before I manually incorporated the mail. Then I copied back the mail file, and tried to incorporate it using the inc button on exmh. This time it incorporated fine! Ie it seems to have nothing to do with the contents of the mail file. According to you it does seems an exmh problem. But now I am having second thoughts. I tried this again and this time copying back the file didn't help. The other thing I noticed is that although inc from the commandline worked, there was a long pause before it did. I noticed the same thing sometimes happens from exmh - except that at the end of the pause, nothing was incorporated. It's all very strange. I wish there was an option or two to provide debug information for either nmh or exmh! Cheers, Mark. P.S. I'm about to go on holidays for a week so I won't be able to continue this thread till I get back. _/\___/~~\ /~~\_/~~\__/~~\__Mark_Phillips /~~\_/[EMAIL PROTECTED] /~~\HE___/~~\__/~~\APTAIN_ /~~\__/~~\ __ They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them!
Re: LaTeX and overhead production
I'd like to use LaTeX to produce the overhead slides for my adjunct
class. I seem to have enormous problems all along the path, can
anyone help me?
I'm about to go on holidays so I won't be able to help you much, but
I'll just say a couple of things quickly:
Use:
\documentclass{slides}
Each slide is produced using a
\begin{slide}
...
stuff
...
\end{slide}
kind of arrangement.
I hope that is enough to get you started.
Cheers,
Mark.

Re: ip-up ip-down
May I ask what dynipclient does? I'm setting up a tiny network at home and am going to network a Linux box (running slink) with a Windows 95 machine (my son's) and I get a dynamic IP address from my ISP. I use a PPP connection.

How do you know? These scripts are run with stdout directed to /dev/null, so you won't see any output. In any case, the proper way to do this is to put this script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d, name it dynipclient, and make it executable: #!/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/dynipclient -p And put this one in /etc/ppp/ip-down.d, name it dynipclient, and make it executable: #!/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/dynipclient -k -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
