Re: ayuda con el mail por favor

1999-01-01 Thread Felipe Antonio Sanchez Varas
Gracias por la ayuda, ya sospechaba yo que estaba tratando de meter un
tornillo con un martillo :)

Otra cosa... existe algun sitio que soporte Bo todavia?. Es que con las
historias de terror que han circulado por aqui, y teniendo en cuenta que
tengo trabajo pendiente (y atrasado) no me atrevo a lanzarme con el
upgrade, no me haria gracia quedar con el pc cojo o invalido en este
momento, lo voy a hacer cuando este un poco mas liviano de trabajo. Pero
me gustaria instalar algunos paquetes extras (como los de mail que han
mencionado), asi que si alguien sabe de algun sitio con paquetes Bo, o
de algun procedimiento para instalar paquetes hamm en bo, se lo
agradaceria mucho.

Saludos y que tengan un prospero 1999

Este es mi primer mensaje a esta lista de correo. Quisiera saludar a todos
los usuarios de Debian.

También hago una preguntilla: Estoy usando Debian 2.0 y Postgresql. Me 
gustaría saber cómo puedo usar acentos y caracteres similares en los
campos dentro de una tabla. He probado a poner LANG=es_ES en
/etc/postgresql/postmaster.init, y los acentos me funcionan en los nombres
de los campos, pero no en los contenidos. Al editar los nombres de los
campos se ven secuencias de escape, pero luego al ver la tabla se ven bien
los acentos. Con los contenidos no se ven los acentos ni al editarlos ni
al visualizarlos.

A vueltas con Perl

Hola!

Tengo este pequeño script en perl:


#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

use IO::Socket;

$document = /index.html;
$host = www.bcnartdirecte.com;
$remote = IO::Socket::INET-new( Proto = tcp,
 PeerAddr =

 PeerPort =

$remote-autoflush(1);
print $remote GET $document HTTP/1.0\n\n;

while ( $remote ) { 
print $1\n if /mailto:([^\]*)\/;
}

close($remote);
 

Y me funciona de coña cuando lo ejecuto desde la linea de
comandos con ./urlgrep.pl. Entonces me saca la salida por la
pantalla.
Pero si lo quiero ejecutar en background redireccionando la salida a
un fichero con ./urlgrep.pl  email.out. El programa se ejuta porque

File that reads commands file?

1999-01-01 Thread ktb
Hi, I was wondering does each distribution of Linux have slightly
different commands, in say bash?  I was thinking if they are different,
then the books I am looking at  are off because most of them are based
on Red Hat.  So if that is the case I think it would be a good idea  to
find the files in my personal distribution that execute commands if
there are such things?  Then if  something I read doesn't work I don't
have to always assume it is me and I can look and see if the command is
supported.  Well, I could learn to do so.  If so what are some of the
names?   I am quite new to this so I hope I don't have to look at some
of them in root:)

Suck/INN Configuration Problem: Can't Post

1999-01-01 Thread Jerry Gardner
I'm running Debian 2.0 and am using suck/inn to pull a small newsfeed from my
ISP's news server. Fetching articles works fine, posting doesn't.

If I don't include a line in /etc/news/newsfeeds for my remote ISP, nothing
gets posted remotely. If I do include a line in newsfeeds, everything that
gets fetched by suck is reposted by rpost (called from
/usr/sbin/get-news.inn) back to my ISP resulting in my ISP's news server
rejecting them as duplicates.

How do I get inn to stop putting references to every article it receives from
suck (via innxmit) in /var/spool/news/out.going so that rpost won't try to
post it back to my ISP?

Obviously, attempting to repost every article I receive isn't going to make me
any friends at my ISP!

Here's the line from /etc/news/newsfeeds:

news.myisp.com:*,!control,!junk,!local.*/!local::

Any help will be appreciated.

System lock ups

1999-01-01 Thread wax_man
I'm having a rather strange problem with my system and was wondering if
anyone has an idea on what might be going on.  Every so often, the load
on the system will go balistic, and basically lock the system up.  If I
have top running during this time, it will show loads 3; however,
there is never a program running with more than a few % of the
processor.  

During this time, there is nothing I can do, other than switch consoles.
 I can type in one command per console/xterm, but then it will just sit.
 Eventually the system will come back, and be normal.

Does anyone have an idea on what is happening?  Also, is there a way to
get a running log of the load and processor hogging programs (kind of
like top - syslog type thing)?

Thanks,

Chris

 AFAIK, fragmentation percentage is not what you're

 I believe fragmentation percentage means that more than
 one continious block is allocated for file(s), but that
 blocks might be as well following each other !
 
 What does that mean? Real fragmentation percentage
 always less than or equal to reported one, and i don't
 know how to get the real one reported.
 
 I might be very wrong though...

 OK
 
 

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about here. Seems to me
fragmentation percentage would mean how much my files are fragmented. On
all my other filesystems, the percentage is between 1 and 3. I can
understand how the mp3 filesystem may have become so fragmented, with the
constant deleting and moving around of files. And my question still hasn't
been answered. How can I defragment it?

First, if you are running slink (now frozen), you don't need to get 
anything from ftp.netscape.com.

The netscape-xxx are the base files for both communicator and 
navigator.  The navigator-xxx files are for the stand alone browser. 
Communicator is the browser/mail/newsgroup version.  I'm running

Re: Can't send mail from my machine:

1999-01-01 Thread Britton

Hi Matt, 

I have gotten rewriting working correctly now, though I don't understand
exactly why what I ended up having to do worked.

My rewrite configuration in /etc/exim.conf looks like this:

##
#  REWRITE CONFIGURATION #
##


# There are no rewriting specifications in this default configuration
file.


# This is an example of a useful rewriting rule---it looks up the real
# address of all local users in a file

[EMAIL PROTECTED]${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrF

# End of Exim configuration file

Any the file /etc/email-addresses (which I created) looks like this:

gandalf:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

where `gandalf' is my username on my home linux box, `fsblk' my username
on my isp, and `aurora.alaska.edu' my isp's host name.  The $1 in the
exim.conf expands to the contents of the first * (username part of addr),
which exim then `lookup's via an `lsearch' in `/etc/email-addresses'. 
$value is then set to the second element in the colon-deliminated list in
/etc/email-addresses.  The wierd part is that if I use [EMAIL PROTECTED]
in exim.conf, the rewrite doesn't happen, even when I send to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  Also, I've been told that this [EMAIL PROTECTED] rule is
horrible, since it rewrite local mail on my machine with the wrong
address.  I havn't managed to ferret a solution to this out of the docs
though :)

HP deskjet 710C problems

1999-01-01 Thread Joop Stakenborg
Hi,

I am trying to use a HP deskjet 710C printer with my debian
box. I previously had a star matrix printer hooked up, which
used to work fine, so the cable and driver (lp.o) seems OK.


Now, with the deskjet, if I do a 'cat document /dev/lp0',
the printer remains silent. Shouldn't this always work,
independent of which filter package I am using?

When I use lpr (from the LPRng package) the file status.lp, from
the spool directory, says that the document is printed OK, but
nothing coming out of the printer. I use magicfilter with the
dj550c filter.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,

Joop

(forw) gtk thinking it's older than it is?

1999-01-01 Thread Damo
hi. i've been having some problems with gtk and some libraries. i asked the

understand/known what's going on.

if anything could help that would be great :)

From: Damo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: gtk-list@redhat.com

hey there,

i've been browsing thru the archives of this list, and of the documentation i
could find on the development versions of gtk+glib. my problem is more of a
'it shouldn't do that', than a show stopper. glib compiles and installs fine.
gtk compiles and installs fine, too, as far as i can tell. i generally compile
all my applications again with a new version of gtk, so before i install gtk i
remove all the old libraries, having no need for them anymore. that is:

{libgtk*,libgdk.*,libgmodule*,libglib*,libgthread*}

maybe there's more but those are the ones i know :)


anyway, when i compile a new application with my brand new gtk (current cvs
version atm, so 1.11 is a rough estimate), it compiles, and links.. fine. but
when i go to run it.. i get this:

$ pwd./testgtk
/home/adagio/gtk+/gtk

Gtk-ERROR **: libgtk-1.1.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
aborting...
Aborted
$ 

as you can see, not even the example programs will run.

if i link the current versions back to 9, doing something along the lines of

ln -sf /usr/local/lib/libgtk-1.1.so.11.0.0 /usr/local/lib/libgtk-1.1.so.9

then everything appears to work fine.

but should i have to do that? and if not, what have i done wrong?

anything that could open my eyes to this would be great.

thank you,

The way I understand it, and I'm no expert by any means, different distros
do indeed have different commands (and different file structure
arrangements, etc). Bash, however, is bash is bash is bash. It can be
installed on Redhat or Debian or slackware, etc, but it's still bash
(although I suppose a distributor could make mods to their bash, but then
they'd have to make mods again when the next version of bash comes out if
they wanted to keep their mods in the current version).

Rather than change the commands in a standard tool such as bash, the
different commands between distros are more likely to be non-standard (in
the sense of not a standard tool that all distros use). Such things might
be Redhat's control panel vs Debian's lack of one (although I've heard
rumors of a similar tool for Debian being in development). I'm sure there
are others, but I'm not familiar with RH enuff to say.

As a general rule, if a RH book mentions a command that doesn't work on
your system, I think it's safe to assume that it's not you, but rather the
differences between distros. In most cases though, you'll probably find a
similar command/tool in the other distro.

You might try switching your mouse to the other serial port and see if
Win95 finds it, but when I've seen this behavior before, it was a dead
mouse, so you may have to replace it.

Also, if your CMOS battery is weak/dead, your BIOS may have reverted to
turning off your serial port, although that doesn't really make sense
since the box was powered up when the mouse died. But maybe some glitch
turned off the port in CMOS, so I'd at least check it out.

Hi!

My problem: Debian Linux 1.3.1 (Linux kernel 2.0.29) does not install properly
on my system. I got the Linux version together with a book on Linux-databases,
which recommends to install the following partitions:
- prim 83 /  60 (within the 1024 cylinder boundary)
- prim 82  130
- log   83 /usr600
- log   83 /home 200
- log   83 /var200
- log   83 /tmp   100  
- log   83 /adabas  400
- log   83 /httpd  200
I already have 5 FAT16 (1 primary) and 4 HPFS partitions on my IBM DGHS09UW
SCSI-drive but there is sufficient free space left. The block size seems to be
512. Error messages upon booting the kernel during istallation:
- Warning: Unknown PCI device (104c:3d07).
- Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card.
- PPA: unable to initialize controller at 0x378, eror 2.

The error messages upon partitioning/initialization:
When I try to add the new partitions to the begin of the empty space, cfdisk
0.8i labels the remainder unusable, after I add the two primary partitions
(/ and swap). 
When I try to add the new partitions to the end of the unused space, or all of
them as logical partitions, cfdisk installs all of them. But as soon as I try
to initialize the new partitions, the system fails to work properly when I
arrive at /dev/sda16 (is the entire device, not just one partition).
Initializing the partitions in the reversed order yields: Could not stat
/dev/sda18 - no such file or directory although cfdisk shows the correct
entry in the partition table.

What can I do to work around that problem?

My system:
OS:
- DOS/Win3.1
- OS/2 Warp 4 (dual boot)
- hopefully soon Debian Linux 1.3.1 (Linux kernel 2.0.29) 

Drives:
- Maxtor 72004 (2 GB, EIDE)

Not sure I understood the question correctly, but I'll try to answer
anyway...shells are the same across distros, they are generally compiled
from the same sources. Most common commands such as ls are supported, 
however stuff like adduser is implemented differently in each distribution
(and I have to say I really dislike Redhat's way). To see if there is such
a command just try to run it, or try which command.

 Have you checked that the 710c is not a windows printer?  I know that
 the 722c is a windows printer and will need special drivers to do
 anything.  I know someone was looking into to this a while ago, but
 don't know if they succeded in producing working drivers.  At that

 I bought a 722c (returned and) replaced it with a 890c when I found

It is indeed a windows printer, but thanks to the good
work of Tim Norman at 
http://www.rpi.edu/~normat/technical/ppa/index.html
you can use it with linux.

He wrote a nice utility called pbm2ppa which converts

About Gnome Panel and KDE applications

1999-01-01 Thread Paulo Henrique Baptista de Oliveira
Hi Debian users,
I installed gnome-panel and gnome-session in my home computer (a mix
of hamm and slink) and the panel has n menus with all the applications
of KDE. Very ugly. Anyone know how to fix this?
Have a nice happy new year,Paulo Henrique


Re: modem cua1

1999-01-01 Thread Andrew Ivanov
/dev/modem is just a link to the actual device, which is 
/dev/ttyS*
so just find out which COM the modem is on, and make a link to it named
/dev/modem

Re: linux window manager

1999-01-01 Thread Peter Bartosch
Hi!


 Hi !
 
 Which window manager is the best? I meen, which one has graphical
 configurations, which one users prefer (za one koji znaju hrvatski: koji je
 najzastupljeniji) and software is specialy created for, like KPPP, and such
 things?

well, i´m using fvwm2 which is very configurable, but if you´ve used
wintendo before you´ll prefer kde which would take the best of all worlds
(win, unix, mac) or fvwm2-95 another adaption from wintendo

sure, there are more wm´s - icewm, enlightment, blackbox, twm, mwm (motif), olwm
(open look - sun like), to name a few

oh, there are windowmaker and gnome too, which are used from many guys here
at the list ;-)

Re: Trying to install gide

Hi!


 Hi Debian users,
 I'm trying to install gide using apt-get and ocurrs an error:

 Updating package status cache...done
 Checking system integrity...ok
 The following NEW packages will be installed:
   gide

 upgraded.
 Sorry, but the following packages are broken - this means they
 have

 But, when I try to install libgtk1.1:

 Sorry, libgtk1.1 is already the newest version
 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 627 not

 What I have to do? I have a mix of Hamm, with some packages
 upgraded.
 Have a nice day,Paulo Henrique
 

did you try apt-get -f install -- this will deinstall the deb´s with the
unmet dependencies in most cases

Re: Xfree86 instalation problems

1999-01-01 Thread Peter Bartosch
Hi!


 Pozdrav !
 
 I have some problems during the configuration of Xfree86. I'm guessing that
 problem is in video card and monitor configuration. I have ATI 3D
 Xpression+PC2TV 4MB and ADI ProVista E44 15 monitor. I chooseright video
 card prom the card list and enter the right horizontal and vertical
 frequencies numbers and when I click on DONE then when he tries to do
 whatever he needs to, I wait for a minute or so, and all I get is black
 screen, then I do alt+f1 and it says something like 'unable to connect to x
 server' and then he tries one more time but with the same results. What
 should I do?
 I installed xserver-mach64, vga and svga xservers with dselect.
 /etc/X11/Xserver exist line with /usr/bin/X11/XF86_Mach64. What is debian
 distro? Could anyone send me a copy of his own XF86Config file if has the
 same or so card as I have? I tried to copy XF86Config file in /etc/, which
 I created a long time ago with MiniLinux and it worked there, but I just

the configs for X11 are in /etc/X11/ - so it is for the XF86Config, too

 couldn't, like I haven't even write cp ... Yes, I'm logged as root. Where
 can I, if neccessery, downoad newer version of Xfree86, and how do I know
 which version do I have?

dpkg -l packagename will show the version

newer XFree-packages can be found at ftp.de.debian.org - i suppose you´ve
hamm (debian 2.0) installed - so you´ll find a newer in /debian/dists/slink 
(frozen) but be careful some packages are possibly broken (because of frozen 
- pre release - stadium of slink (debian 2.1))

 
 Thanx a lot !
 
 P.S. another question. I had kernel version 1.3 and I succesfully upgrade
 it to 2.0.33, but as I am booting linux from floppy disk on which is old
 kernel, how do I create a new floppy disk with the new kernel?
 

try mkboot - it creates a new boot-disk based on the actual kernel

Jeroen N. Witmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 The problem appeared on my box when I upgraded from the Debian hamm
 kernel 2.0.34 to a 2.0.36 kernel straight from linux. The only
 relevent difference in the configuration of these kernels seems to
 be:
 
 diff -u /boot/config-2.0.34 /usr/src/linux-2.0.36/.config
  #
  # Character devices
  #
 -CONFIG_SERIAL=m
 +CONFIG_SERIAL=y
 
 In human language: The Debian 2.0.34 configured the serial support
 as a module, whereas I included it into the 2.0.36 kernel itself.
 It seems that, even when the serial support is included into the
 kernel, 'somebody' still wants to access it as a module, but I can't
 find who, where and why.
 
 Can somebody explain what is going on?  Thanks in advance.

Please check the contents of your /etc/modules file (the comments at
the begin should explain its purpose).

Hi. I have a K6-2 3D Now 350 MHz and have overclocked it to 400 MHz.
Works great - I have compiled the kernel a few times because,
apparently, this will show up an unstable configuration re. CPU speed

Just make sure you get a good super socket 7 motherboard and 128 pin

 After the Debian installation I manualy installed a newer kernel (from 1.3

 choosed to install SounBlaster drivers or so, and as I'm booting linux from
 diskette I'm not sure if I'm booting with newer kernel cause I didn't make
 a new boot diskette (I don't know how) with newer kernel. So when I tried
 to play an MP3 file with splay program I get message 'segmentation fault'
 or something.

It seems the 2.1 series kernels have specific support for Yamaha OPL3-SAx

Hope this helps.
