Lyx, Tex y Sed. (offtopic)
Hola, perdon por el offtopic pero estoy contra las cuerdas. He realizado la memoria del proyecto fin de carrera integramente en mi Debian 1.3.1 mediante Lyx, la herramienta visual, y ahora estoy haciendo la composicion final, usando un estilo sty que me han endosado a ultima hora. Necesito hacerme un programa de la shell que me extraiga las lineas de texto entre las marcas \chapter para poder eliminar la basurilla que genera el Lyx. Estoy a tres dias de entregar la memoria y estoy un poco desesperado. Si hay alguna alma caritativa que me pueda explicar como hacer esto en sed, extraer el texto entre dos marcas, se lo agradecere mucho. Gracias y perdon por el abuso.

Creo que lo que necesitas no es sed sino awk o perl. No se si entendí
mal,
pero me parece que tu pregunta está mal formulada: tu fichero
probablemente
tine varias marcas chapter y me imagino que quieres extraer todos los
capítulos. En ese caso harias por ejemplo lo siguiente:
awk '/\\chapter/,/EOF/' com-basura.tex sin-basura.tex
(imprime lineas desde que aparezca \chapter hasta el fin del fichero)
Si lo que quieres es extraer un capítulo en particular, por ejemplo
el tercero, intenta lo siguiente:
awk '$0~/\\chapter/{n++}; n==3' com-basura.tex sin-basura.tex
(va contando los capítulos y imprime todas las líneas que corresponden
al tercero).
Me imagino que lo que realmente necesitas es identificar donde comienza
la basura al final de cada capítulo (alguna marca propia de lyx) y
colocar
eso en vez de EOF en el primer comando. De todas formas preguntame otra
vez si esto no respondio tu pregunta.

num lock in X
I posted a while back about getting my num lock to default on while in X. Someone wrote back that setleds worked for console and xset worked for X consoles. I have the num lock working in console but not in X yet. At the command line when I try, ~$ xset led on no led lights come on. It makes it so I can move the cursor all directions and if I push Num Lock my Scroll Lock light comes on and won't go off until I use ~$ xset led off and then hit the scroll Lock key. I have read the man page for xset and scoured the Debian user's archives for xset, num lock etc. I've looked at howto's and newsgroups and can't figure this out. I read that xset is the way to go and then another person says that xset only turns the lights on and doesn't actually turn the num lock on. I found a couple of lines in the /etc/X11/config file about xset numbers and letting the server take care of the number lock. I uncommented both of these lines and it had no effect. I don't know what else I can do. Is this a bug or something? Number lock works fine in windows and as I said when I am at a regular console. Help. Thanks, Kent

For some of the 3Com/USR modems (Courier V.Everything, probably others as well), they have a XModem update file available on their website.

Re: diald is eating packets
Kenneth F. Ryder III [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: SNIP 1) how to keep diald from eating the first packet it sees coming across the dummy link, and instead hold it and send it down the PPP link once established. I think diald does this with UDP packets - with TCP packets there are other rather annoying issues/problems. However, the kernel's ipmasq routines do it, so you'd think there'd be a way. 2) how to increase the time limit in the standard filter (I'd like to use standard.filter over my very primitive one) on the FIRST packet sent out by a program (like telnet, rlogin, etc.) Well, not quite that, but what I added after a somewhat similar problem to my /etc/diald/diald.options is: impulse 30,0,0 This causes the link to always be kept up for at least 30 seconds.

{on having a bad install of fvwm95...}
...This is a new version of fvwm95, based on fvwm95-2.0.43a, with a

Installation should be as simple as:
tar xvzf fvwm95-2.0.43b.tar.gz
Debian keeps a few init files and configs for X in different places than other
Linux distributions. Or the other distributions keep them in different places
than Debian, depending how you look at it. If you installed from a .gz and
not a .deb package, the fvwm95 configs probably aren't where Debian X would
be looking for them, and the results you've described might happen.
If this is the case, you can either figure out how the fvwm95 package differs
from Debian's way of doing things, and make the needed changes in the config
yourself; or uninstall it as best you can and try a .deb package, which should
work well. Possibly you can just install the .deb without trying to uninstall
the other package, it may not matter; though there could be some leftover files
taking up hard drive space from the .gz package.
You can find a .deb package of fvwm95 2.0.43b here:

If you just have EIDE and the drives are reasonably recent, I'd give it a try, too. Any IDE setup with drives on different cables will improve when you split swap over several drives. this because such drives can be accessed simultaneously. Don't bother spreading swap across drives on the *same* IDE cable, they can't be accessed simultaneously and will improve nothing. Two drives on the same cable is very much like a single bigger drive - it is the least useful setup for any purpose. Helge Hafting

Before I went away I was using cdparanoia without any problems, and normal CDs were mounting without incident. I tried fiddling with the permissions, changing them from; br--r- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Dec 1 20:25 /dev/scd0 to; brwxrwxrwx 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Dec 1 20:25 /dev/scd0 but (unsurprisingly) it's not made any difference.

How do I start using debian packages?... install the package dpkg. How do I install that? Well, simply put, you don't convert your system from one distribution to another without a reinstallation. Debian does a fine job of 'live' upgrades between versions of itself, but there is no hope that a live upgrade path from another distribution can be created. The differences in the critical basic details are too big. I did a live upgrade from Slackware to Debian, without rebooting (not that it helps much, almost every process and daemon crashed during the libc update anyway, but I just wanted to keep my 100+ days of uptime). I don't recommend it for weak hearts and the unexperienced, though, but I did write a document explaining what I did. (For critical daemons, I could perhaps install and start libc6 versions of them before the libc5 update to avoid having them down, but this would only apply to Slackware, not Red Hat. For Red Hat, you may have hope that libc6 upgrade won't crash the daemons, like httpd.) I haven't completed the migration (what's holding me back is Slackware's pine version which is newer than Debian's), so I haven't tried replacing the basic filesystem packages (aaa_base, devs, etc, ide), but everything else is replaced by Debian equivalents. devs may be tricky, because I can't find which Debian package install /dev/*. When completed, I had thought of giving the document to the Debian project. If you would like to see it now, just mail me.

Re: help
If you haven't already, I would also read over the Debian install documentation that can be found here: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/install.html If you have not done much partitioning, that is usually the toughest step for most new users. The install document has a section on that which should help. In addition, I would suggest taking a look at Partition Magic 4.0 (even though it is a commercial program). Version 4.0 can work with Linux partitions and is the probably the simplest way to partition a drive for dual booting, especially for newcomers. It's manual has a lot of good information on it also. Linux has it's own partitioning tools (fdisk, cfdisk), but I usually prefer using either PM, or the open source Ranish Partition Manager found here: http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish/part/ It's a DOS program now, but the author is considering porting it to Linux from what I understand.

fetchmail/procmail tears mail apart
Hi, I have a little trouble with fetchmail (hamm, 4.3.9-1), procmail (hamm, 3.10.7-6) tearing mails apart. I think I tracked it down, when I fetch a mail containing a line with From in the text, procmail sorts everything before From in the correct folder, everything after From (the line with From is lost) ends up in my bulk folder. Is this a bug or a feature? Is there an easy solution to fix this, some commandline switch or config change for fetchmail or procmail? Ciao, Christian.
