Re: ayuda con el mail por favor
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.

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.

File that reads commands file?
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:) Kent
Suck/INN Configuration Problem: Can't Post
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!

System lock ups
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

Re: Can't send mail from my machine:
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.

HP deskjet 710C problems
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 -- Joop [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Hamradio Applications and Utilities Homepage http://www.casema.net/~aba

hi. i've been having some problems with gtk and some libraries. i asked the gtk list but i was directed here for hope that someone here might understand/known what's going on. if anything could help that would be great :) - damo - Forwarded message from Damo [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Date: Fri, 1 Jan 1999 13:09:02 +1100 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, damo - End forwarded message -

I am quite new to this so I hope I don't have to look at some of them in root:) Kent 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. -- Kent West [EMAIL PROTECTED] KC5ENO - Amateur Radio: When all else fails. Linux - Finally!

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. -- Kent West [EMAIL PROTECTED] KC5ENO - Amateur Radio: When all else fails. Linux - Finally!

the people at linux-kernel-digest really can learn from you people: - they need to make attachments real attachments, not inline in the digest - they need layout tips from you :) great work! leon -- Leon Breedt | Developer, Obsidian Systems | Debian 2.0 | Linux 2.2.0pre1 http://www.obsidian.co.za If a Microsoft product fails, who do you sue?

CPU speed etc.. Just make sure you get a good super socket 7 motherboard and 128 pin memory which runs at 100 MHz. I have a GigaByte GA-5SG100 with the SiS chipset.

Re: sound card

I have Yamaha OPL3-SAx sound card (SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster PRO and Windows Sound System compatible) and I have a problem installing/using it. After the Debian installation I manualy installed a newer kernel (from 1.3 to 2.0.33) and for it's configuration I used 'make menuconfig' where I 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. -Michele
