Re: Fichero de gasto para pppcost
El pppcosts tiene el coste telefónico integrado dentro del binario (de hecho en función de cómo lo compiles tienes el gasto para uno u otro país) Yo llevo utilizándolo un tiempo y más a título orientativo, tenía en proyecto hacer para él un paquete Debian y actualizar la información referente a España porque: a) Telefónica factura ahora por segundos (salvo en Infovía creo, aunque aquí corregidme si me equivoco) y entonces ya no vale lo de los pasos de antes. b) Las festividades (cuota reducida de teléfono esos días) son las del año 98, con lo que no se ajusta a la realidad. Te animo a coger (si sabes C) las fuentes originales y arreglarlas para todo esto, yo aún no he encontrado tiempo para hacerlo (estoy haciendo y manteniendo otros paquetes en Debian, a la par que escribo algunos artículos variados ;) Un saludo Javi PD: Se me olvidaba, para ver el coste no mires el fichero sino que debes ejecutar pppcosts, indicará el tiempo totoal de conexión y el coste que llevas. El fichero creo que indica el coste total (3324) y los pasos (25)...

Una sobre los fuentes que se distribuyen
La pregunta es simple:
¿COMO se debe hacer este proceso? {
- Coger un fuente de la distribución
- Recompilarlo
- Dejarlo empaquetado como .deb
}
Lo he intentado hacer según la doc de la distribución, pero me he
armado un pequeño lio.
Existe documentación sobre esto en castellano. ¿Donde...?
¿Existe algún HowTo al respecto...?
Si no existe y me echan una mano, me comprometo a hacerlo.

Funciona como que existen versiones de Debian para máquinas que no
son i386, y TODAS dependen de que esto funcione. La pequeña
trampa: dpkg no tiene dependencias a nivel de fuentes, es decir, no
hay forma de decir que para compilar wmaker necesitas... a ver si me
acuerdo (los nombres no están bien)... libtiff-dev, libgif-dev,
libpng-dev, xpm-dev, xlib6g-dev, libc6-dev, libproplist-dev,
zlib-dev, debhelper (una versión particular), perl (creo, era cierto
en algún momento), make, gcc, automake, autoconf, libtool, ... mejor

Varias preguntas de X-Windows
Estube configurandole a un amigo las X y tuve un problemilla. Trato de configurarlo con el XF86Setup y no me funciona. Luego de varios intentos, agarro el archivo de configuacion (el XF86Config) y meto mano en el.El botija tiene una S3ViRGE con 4Mb de RAM. El monitor es un valla qa saber que. Seteo frecuencias de reloj, colores, modos, etc. Lo puedo llevarhasta 640x480 en 24bpp. El problema llega cuando le cambio la frecuencia del relojdel monitor para alguno de los modos SVGA. No arranca. Me parece que lo que le falta es, para el modo 800x600 la linea ModeLine (o algo asi, no recuerdo bien). Ahora, como se deeducen los valores? En mi caso, que tengo un Sony, pude sacar esos valores del archivo VideoModes.doc , pero en este caso no puedo. Si alguien me da una manito para poder deducir los valores de esas lineas se lo agradezco. Si hay algun site donde haya infrmacion, cualquier cosa. Saludos y espero que el 99 haya comenzado con todo Gustavo

Hola!!
A ver, el fichero que he enviado funciona perfectamente, pero
necesitas utilizar el GNUawk (paquete gawk en vez del mawk, que viene
por defecto en Debian).
Lo segundo es que hay que decirle al programa el fichero que hay que
leer:
coste_telefonico /var/log/ppp.log
Y lo tercero, que si bien el ppp.log es muy buen fichero para llevar
el control de las llamadas tiene 2 problemas: no guarda el año de la
conexión (putada) y el sistema debian lo cambia cada semana, con lo
que es muy incómodo para llevar la contabilidad de los 2 últimos
meses. Yo lo que hago es crearme un fichero de resumen con las
llamadas que luego proceso con una versión modificada de este script.
(Si a alguien le interesa lo pongo aquí).
Ya para terminar, no es que lo haya hecho yo, pero mi script es
bastante más util que el pppcost (que tengo instalado en mi sistema
tambien) porque te especifica las diferentes llamadas y el coste para
cada una.
Pero bueno, no es un programa perfecto, para mí vale para salir del
paso. Si alguien está interesado aquí va una versión light (sin
comentarios, para ahorrar sitio).

Consultas sobre wmaker.
Hola a todos!
Varias cosas sobre el wmaker (la versión de la Debian 2.0):
- Parece que tal como viene configurado por defecto, no permite cambiar el
tamaño de las ventanas. Cómo puedo cambiar este comportamiento?
- Al poner el wmload como 'Autolaunch', lo que hace es arrancarme el que
está en el dock y otro que aparece por ahí como ventana normal,
estorbando. Esto es así o hay algo que no he hecho?
- Ya van dos veces que al salir del wmaker ('Exit') me encuentro el mapa
de caracteres de la consola cambiado (símbolos extraños). **No** se
arregla con 'reset'. Le pasa a alguien más?
- Dónde hay información, manual o lo que sea sobre el wmaker?
Agradeceré cualquier respuesta ;-)

new kernel not installing
I am trying to upgrade from 2.0.36 to 2.1.125. After configuring with make xconfig I run make install. At the end I run lilo. Everything seems fine, but when I reboot I am still in 2.0.36. I tried some variations. I ran make dep, and saw no error messages. I tried compiling a 486 kernel as well as pentium. My board is a AMD 586 133. The only unusual thing is this. Prior to installing the 2.1.125 package I had accidently deleted everything in /usr/src. I untared the source there and created /usr/src/linux as a symbolic link to /usr/src/kernel-source-2.1.124. But I am not having trouble compiling so I don't think this is a problem. I am not sure how to track down what the problem is. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

Here is the answer of Jim Pick, gnome mantainer for this question. I'm aware of this behaviour. I had talked to the Gnome guys, and was hoping that they would fix it upstream, but they didn't. Take a look in the Gnome 0.30 x KDE thread in debian-devel (October) The point is that the Gnome guys didn't fix it. So it is a bug. I really hope this will be fixed in Gnome 0.99 (or 1.0) when it is packaged. Bye. Paulo. PS: Meio estranho responder em Ingles, mas queria uma resposta util para todos.

Does 'make install' put vmlinuz where lilo expects it to be? You might install kernel-package and use 'make-kpkg' to compile the kernel and create a .deb which you can install.

Tom, take a look at vmlinuz in the / directory. Then look at /boot/vmlinuz-2.1.125. See what I mean? You might try symlinking from /vmlinuz (after renaming or removing it) to /boot/vmlinuz-2.1.125, if it's there as my 2.1.132 kernel is. ...not sure about 2.1.125, but it might be a good guess. g Good luck, and make sure you have the rescue disk to go into a shell, should you need it.

Actually, kernel-package and make-kpkg did a good job of getting kernel 2.1.132 installed here. The way these kernels are going into /boot is a good thing, too, IMO, although I needed to make link afterward ( but maybe I only had to do that because I made a mistake with this system in the past?).

Gamma correction
This may not be the best place to ask this, but does anyone out there know of a way to adjust the gamma value in X Windows? I seem to recall seeing something like this (although it didn't work) in gnome, but I've since removed gnome. I looked at all the manual pages I could think of, and the only obvious way from those is to change the color maps (which seems like more work than it would be worth). The reason I'm interested is that X Windows seems to be darker and higher contrast than Windoze or Mac computers, and I'd like to be able to try out a web page with a Mac-like screen.

I have installed Debian GNU/Linux several times, but have not yet been able to get network support. I have a SONY VAIO PCG-505G with a CONTEC C-NET card.

exmh - presort inc sometimes fails
Hi,
There have been a number of reports from people recently that doing a
presort inc sometimes fails from within exmh. The same thing has
happened to me several times. It seems to be something to do with
certain mail files which cause the problem. I can do a manual inc
from the command line, and this works though sometimes it pauses for a
long time before incorporating.
I have looked at the log for exmh and this is what it says:
BgAction Inc IncInner
BackgroundPending Inc
exmh-bg {Inc_Presort +MyIncTmp: {child killed: segmentation violation}}

It only does the first 8 messages. So the problem occurs, it would
seem, at the 9th message. I edited the mail file, removing messages from
the tail of the file. Sure enough, it was when I removed the 9th message
that the problem stopped. However there is a twist. When I left the 9th
message there and removed the first message, the problem stopped.
So it seems the problem is not with the 9th message per se, but rather,
with the complete set of the first 9 messages.
I enclose the 9 messages which cause the problem, here:

Modem stopped working when I upgraded to hamm
I'm tearing my hair out. Here's the story. I upgraded to hamm vi the autosh script and grabbed the 2.0.34 kernel and recompiled it. As far as I can tell, the modem worked OK after those steps. I then reviewed my installed packages and upgraded a bunch of them. I also installed diald and tried to configure it. I couldn't get it to talk to the modem, so I tried to run pppd manually. It didn't work. I then tried to talk to the modem via minicom. No response. Minicom stays off-line. It never talks. I wrote a specialized comm program some time ago for another purpose and set it up to try to talk to the modem. Nogo. I've got a pretty full machine and have some problems with IRQs. I've got a SB16 PNP card which isn't working on Linux yet, so it may be that it is interfering somehow, but that doesn't explain why it stopped working. The IRQ line up is: IRQ used by 3 PCI ethernet card 4 ttyS0 (on-board serial port) 4 ttyS3 (us robotics ISA modem) 5 SB16 7 lpt 9/2 Dunno, when I boot it says unknown pci device 10 SCSI card etc. Now I know that sometimes having the same IRQ for two devices can cause problems, but it used to work. Besides, I went into the bios and disabled the ttyS0 (COM1) port to eliminate the possibility. Nope. I have a Cisco IDSN serial control port hooked to ttyS0 and I can talk to it OK with minicom, so I know serial ports in general are working. I also know that there isn't a serious hardware conflict with the IRQ 4 being shared since I can run Win95 and use both serial ports at the same time with no problems. If there is a conflict, it's a Linux problem not a hardware problem. Besides, when I disabled COM1, COM3 (ttyS2) should have started working. \ I've run out of ideas. I thought it might be setserial so I disabled it entirely. Setserial sees the port and correctly identifies it, but I thought maybe it was putting it in a unusable state, so I did a chmod 000 /bin/setserial (or whatever the path was). I removed the diald package so it wouldn't try to diddle the port. I did a grep for ttyS? in /etc/ and /etc/init.d to see if something was messing with the port, but not that I could see. The machine is at home and I'm at work, so I can't get a list of installed packages right now, but there aren't any installed that I can identify that would affect serial operation. Does anyone have any ideas? What can I try next? What packages might affect the serial port? As far as I can tell, I upgraded most of the base packages (at least the ones that I had installed) a few admin packages and some in the libs since some of the packages I installed were dependent on them. Thanks for any ideas. Jim. -- To see my .signature file, go to http://reality.sgi.com/jwl/signature/

[OFF-TOPIC] qvirtual option in fetchmail
any1 here who know what to put on the qvirtual option of fetchmail I've read the docs, manpages and tried different parameters but fetchmail barfs: fetchmail:/home/keyoz/.fetchmailrc:8 server option after user options at Deliver-To (or any other text after qvirtual) I can't fetchmail when I switched to qmail. I can send using qmail/serialmail now but this is the only problem I have. And to Hamish regarding the non-freeness and arrogance of qmail, I don't really think qmail is non-free, even if SPI or debian views it that way. To me, it is still open-sourceware. as for being arrogant, well the copyright says binary distributions can be arranged =8^P. And on qmail's homepage there's a precompiled binary for linux (debian was mentioned). ciao! k e c h i e
Problems with X
I had X running fine with one little problem before getting a Monster 3D II card a little while back. One small problem was that I have xdm kick up two X windows. Well, about five minutes after boot, I would get kicked over to the second X window for no reason. I could switch back to the first one, clear and screen, and everything was fine. It didn't do it again unless I rebooted. I don't know what was causing this, but I could live with it and I figured it was a small bug in X. Now, however, when this happens, the screen goes black and I can't get to a screen at all. Console or otherwise. I saw on here someone mentioned something about video cards not being able to handle switching modes to well, and wonder if that's the problem. Anyone have any ideas or things to try? Would an acceleracted X server solve the problem? TIA. Rob

My PC's internal (built-in) speaker.
I suspect that my PC's internal speaker is not working (I have no sound card). I am trying to avoid replacing it. Is there a way that can convinced me that it is not working ?

What are the programs that can work with it ?
Re: My PC's internal (built-in) speaker.
When you turn on your computer, it should make a beep noise through the internal speaker as the BIOS initialises (POST). This is so you know it has started correctly, for example if your monitor fails. If you do not get any sort of sound at start up, the speaker may be broken, or disconnected. If you don't mind doing this, take the case off your computer, and check the connection between the speaker and the motherboard - there should probably be a pair of thin plastic-coated wires going via a little plastic plug to two metal prongs somewhere around the edge of the motherboard: check nothing has come loose or is broken. It is possible (unlikely?) that your Bios doesn't beep to say everything is ok on start-up, but it definitely should if something is wrong. You could try taking out your graphics card (if you haven't turned the computer off by now, do so, and take precautions against static dischage), and then re-starting your computer. If the speaker is working, there will be loads of beeps, as the bios tells you it can't find the primary video (I've heard the knew ACME bios avoids all this noise by printing an informative error message on the screen!). If your speaker isn't working, I wouldn't worry about the cost of replacing it, as the ones supplied with PC's are invariably cheap crappy ones, and you should be able to get one for around a fiver (english money). The one I have in my computer was bastardised from a broken cheap radio. Hope some of this helps, or at least makes sense. If the speaker is working physically, I can't think of any debian stuff which would use it, but if you've got dos installed, most games will use it. Rich

Re: System won't boot, lilo.conf problem
Ok, this is from the manual on lilo: LI The first stage boot loader was able to load the second stage boot loader, but has failed to execute it. This can either be caused by a geometry mismatch or by moving /boot/boot.b without running the map installer. Not sure how to help you, but maybe this explains a little bit what the problem could be.
