vt100 - Linux
Hola, Hace tiempo que tengo un VT100 que conecto al puerto serie de mi Linux y funciona de maravilla. El problema es que ahora quiero alargar más el cable y he visto que el VT tiene también otro tipo de enchufe. Es parecido al de teléfono. Además en la facultad es el tipo de cable que usan para todos los VT's ¿Alguien sabe que tipo de adaptador necesitaria en mi Linux para poder usar ese enchufe? ¿Un modem? ¿protocolo a utilizar?

Faltan iconos en KDE
Voy a dar unas charlas sobre Linux a en mi centro de trabajo en plan divulgación y propaganda, pues empieza a haber gente interesada. Así que me he instalado el KDE para poder dar una opinión sobre él. Normalmente uso WM. He instalado el que venía en los discos de Linux Actual con la Debian 2.0 Es el 1.0 y sobre Debian hamm y kernel 2.0.34. Todo ha ido bien salvo alguna pequeña pega que he solucionado y funciona pero no veo los iconos de las barra de herramientas de las ventanas del KDE. He visto en la lista que alguien decía que era cosa de arreglar algún link. No he conseguido encontrarlo. ¿Alguien me puede decir como arregrarlo? No me gustaría presentar el KDE en Debian sin iconos en la barra de herramientas Gracias por vuestra atención.

Re: DSELECT - Install from CD-ROM - Block Device Name
Actually I had the same problem when I first installed debian and this is how I resolved it. Instead of trying to determine the block device name (which I did find, but it didn't work) you should mount your CDRom then choose install from a previously mounted file system from the dselect menu. To do this you first have to determine the block device name of your cdrom. I have a scsi cdrom so mine was scd0 for ide cdrom's it may be hda. For a full explination on how to get your cdrom up and running see the CDROM HOWTO.

Re: Stupid Netscape question
It should launch from a click on the Netscape Icon in X Windows if your windows manager has the icon. Otherwise, just enter netscape from an xterm or rxvt in X Windows. If that doesn't work, make sure that you started your installation with _the whole_ gzip'd Netscape file. Count the number of bytes in the file with a ls -l command in the same directory as the gzip'd file. I just tried to uncompress and install Star Office using incomplete files (fixed now) and had to reget them to fix it. Also, be sure to read all of the documentation on it again--thoroughly, if none of the above works. For example, do any environment variables need to be set in your shell config files (e.g., .bashrc, .profile, etc.)? The correct packages should have installed just fine with the Debian installer, BTW...worked with Communicator 4.5 for slink here.

Your best bet is to get apt_0.1.5.deb; I'm not sure whether the newer ones will work under slink.

Those of you who have moved to 2.2.0---have you noticed serious improvements in performance over the 2.0.xx kernels? You won't see much improvements in performance for a machine that runs a light load only. This is typical for the home/hobby machines that many people have. Try pushing it with a high load, particularly on a multiprocessor, and you should definitely see a difference. Other improvements include: better support for more hardware: noticeable if you have that hw, more filesystems: useful if you happen to need that. Helge Hafting

Hard disk problem on istallation of Debian
Hi
I'm a bit new to Linux so excuse me for asking trivial questions.
I tried to install Debian yesterday and made it as far as past selecting
a color display :)
when I try to run cfdisk on my hdb it exits with an error message
(I didn't note it down, sorry) I looked closer at the startup messages
and there were a few lines like
4 hdb: irq timeout: status=0x50 {Driveready SeekComplete}
with lines like
4 ide0: reset: success
in between until I get
4 hdb: irq timeout: status=0x50 {Driveready SeekComplete DataRequest}
followed by
4 ide0: reset: success
4 hdb: irq timeout: status=0x50 {Driveready SeekComplete}
4 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:40, sector 0
4 unable to read partition table
I'm aware of the possibility to give the physical description of the
harddisk at the boot prompt, but I have this silly IBM BIOS that
doesn't report the hard disk dimensions and I hoped there was another
solution.
My system is an IBM Intellistation with two hard disks, a 9GB scsi
and a 6.4 Gb ide. The scsi has no problems but I want to install
Debian on the ide disk. I have two primary partitions of 2 GB each
allocated on the ide disk and want to have Debian in the last 2.4 GB. I
use a boot manager called System Commander to boot from the first
primary partition of the scsi disk. It overwrites the MBR of the scsi
disk but I don't think it messes with the ide disk.
I have Debian 2.0 released around August with kernel version 2.0.34.
If there is anyone who knows why the problem occurs and possible
solutions I would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance, Oli

Re: smail or sendmail
Martin, I've read many good things about the exim MTA here. *Is it as powerful (configurable) as sendmail?* I've run smail and sendmail--sendmail, because it's very standard for the work I'm getting into soon. Exim will be the next one I'll run, though, just to see what it will do. Oh, and for the one who asked the first question in this thread, make sure you've installed bind if you're getting a domain and won't have someone else running your nameserver. There is some excellent documentation on bind (named) at http://metalab.unc.edu/LPD/HOWTO/ under DNS HOW-TO, IIRC.

Re: dftp interrupted
Yes you should be able to run 'dftp getselect' again, but first you want to: 1) look in dftp's log file (/root/packages/.ftplog) to determine which file it was downloading when the connection was lost. Then go into the dftp archive (/root/packages/dists) and delete that (potentially) partial file. 2) delete the /root/packages/.downloaded file. Leave the rest of the files alone. Then bring up your connection and run dftp getselect. It will skip the files it's already downloaded and pick up where it left off. it used the /root/packages/.selected file to know which files to download. By the way, the apt-get method will automatically pick up right where it left off, without you having to be concerned about partial files. It handles that automatically for you.

Did you use a floppy for that? Does dselect start normally? If the base system is there and it starts normally and you have a more or less standard debian cd-rom, please try to start dselect (while as root or su) and follow the instructions. You need to find out your cdrom connection. It should be something like /dev/hdx, where x is for example d as in my case. You can mount cdrom before running dselect, but that is not necessary. If you use dpkg -i -command to install dpkg packages you need to mount cdrom beforehand.

installing/using an old IBM tape drive
The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to linux.debian.user as well. I have an old IBM Model 7207-001 scsi tape drive that I have obtained from some old IBM RS/6K equipment we are no longer using. I would like to use the tape drive as a backup device even though it is rather ancient. I connected the tape drive into my scsi chain and rebooted the Debian 2.0 system still running 2.0.36 of the kernel. Both the bios and linux recognize the drive as a Tandberg MOdel tdc3600 drive. I have found some information on the drive on the Tandberg home page. I have some old 150 Mb tapes that I can use, but I think that the drive may also be able to use 250 Mb tape cartridges as well. The problem is that even though the kernel recognizes the drive, I am having trouble using it. I cannot find a HOWTO such as how to connect an external scsi tape drive or something to that effect. In Running Linux, Welsh Kaufman, 1995, on page pp of chapter 1 it does list the Tandberg 3600 as a verfied scsi tape drive for Linux. For example, if I issue the command mt -f /dev/st0 rewoffl I get the following error message mt: /dev/st0: Input/output error It is possible that the drive is bad, but I think it works fine on the original installation of the RS/6K. Where can I get some help on connecting and configuring this drive? Thanks
gnome + gtk + dpkg
I've finally decided to bite the bullet, and install GNOME. I'm running hamm, without any packages from slink or potato installed. I've downloaded the .deb files for the basic gnome system from ftp.gnome.org, and thought I'd try and work out how to install them with dpkg. The problem is, it's conflicting with the versions of gimp and gtk+ and glib that I have installed at the moment (snipped output from dpkg -l); gimp1.0.0-1The layers-based, non-Motif GNU Image Manipu libgtk1 1.0.4-1The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets for X libgimp11.0.0-1Libraries necessary to run the GIMP So I'm obviously going to have to update quite a bit if I want everything to run smoothly. Can any of you GNOME + gimp users advise me here? Ought I to move up to gtk+ 1.1.x, or should I stick as closely as possible to the stuff that comes with hamm? Thanks. -- Graham

Another thing I have seen is something along the lines of 'Device ttyS0 is locked by bash.' I have tried using poff a few times during lockup. This is all very confusing. Sometimes plog lists pid numbers that ps a says don't exist. When I try killing processes they don't exist. My modem is a Zoom/Fax modem 56k, model 2919. I'm stumped. I hope someone can help. I'm going to wear my machine out rebooting. Thanks, Kent
Re: kernel 2.0.36 question update
On Mon, 1 Feb 1999, Peter Paluch wrote: Hello, == I just discovered that when I uncompressed 2.2.1 tarball, it installed to the linux dir which was a symlink to my 2.0.36 dir, so I guess that is the major problem. ;-) Yes, that surely caused a perfect mess. Still, how do I apply to patch for kernel 2.2.1? Assuming from your previous mail you have patch in bz2 format. You have to use bunzip2 (not simply bunzip) to unpack the patch - maybe you should install the bzip2 package. Then go to /usr/src directory, and issue this command patch -p1 your_decompressed_patch_file If you use the patch-kernel script it will handle bz2.

Re: PPP and Modem Question
Danny R. Gray wrote: Hello everyone, Well after a couple of months I decided to connect to my ISP. I have a machine at the local firestation that I want to use as an IPMasq server and my home PC. Both have given me a bit of a problem. I am running Debian - hamm on both. [snip] My home PC is more fun! I got a Zoom 56K - PCI DualModem for Christmass to replace a Toshiba WinModem. It appears to be plug and play. Windows98 assigns it to COM 4, IRQ 10. Linux does not see it at all during boot. I have tried booting to Win98 then loadlin but I still do not get the modem. At a command prompt, try typing setserial /dev/ttyS3 irq 10 (I think this is the correct syntax; I'm doing it from memory and don't have a way to check it right now). Then test your modem. If it works, add this line to /etc/boot/0setserial so it'll happen on each boot-up.
chmod script
Hi! Does anybody have a script for changing all the dirs and subdirs into mode 700 and all the files into mode 600 ? If I do a chmod 700 -R then all the files get changed to 700... :-/ TIA! -- p.
x11amp deb?
Does anyone know where one can find x11amp as a debian package. I certainly have it on my computer: ii x11ampg 0.7-1 X11 amp, a mp3 player but I don't remember where I got it, and it isn't on the official debian sites. Also a more recent version would be nice, but it's too much work to compile it myself, it requires some packages of really recent versions that aren't available as debian packages. -- -~* Daniel Elenius *~-
Re: kernel 2.2.0
My roommate and I noticed that it booted up much faster. Probablly because of the new PCI ide driver, and the bus mastering support but my chipset VIA is still under experimental :( [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: | 2.2.0 will be available in deb packages, Real Soon Now (tm), | I'm sure.

connecting a zip
Hello, I´m trying to connect my Iomega ZIP drive over the parallel port to my debian 2.0 R?4?. I configured the kernel with modul support for lp and ppa. I can do without problems a insmod lp but when I try to make a insmod ppa I get: ppa: Version 1.42 ppa: Probing port 03bc ppa: Probing port 0278 scsi : 0 hosts. /lib/modules/2.0.36/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Device or resource busy I saw the former messages about the theme and I probed out that my parallel port is set on 0x378. On the same machine I´m running Windows 95 and there is no problem with the ZIP. Is there anybody out there with the same problem? Has anybody found the reason (and a solution?)? I apreciate evry idea. Thanks in beforehand.
Why Linux can crash when connected to internet?
My GNU/Linux Pentium machine with Debian Hamm (and some packages from Slink) crashes completely at random intervals (from 5 minutes to 1 hour), and preferably in the morning. But only when I am connected to internet When I unplug the ethernet cable from the netcard I can be working for endless hours (which, on the other hand, is not quite healthy). I have been read something about a teardrop that can crash kernels below version 2.0.idontremember. Nevertheless I have kernel 2.0.35 and teardrop does not affect it. Nevertheless, do you know if there is a newer version of the teardrop procedure (I don' know whether it is a program or a bug in the kernel) that could crash my system ? If it is not a teardrop, then what could it be? What can I do to avoid crashes? BTW: It also crashes Win3.1, but I am not worried about it (anything can crash windows). BTW2: The crash consists on: You are working or whatever, and then suddenly everything freezes: the xosview, the clock, and even the mouse cursor. The keyboard is also dead: Ctrl+Alt+Fn, Alt+Tab, Ctrl+Alt+`+', ... don't work. I have to reset the computer and cross fingers to be the last crash of the day As you can see, it is very similar to a crash by the Intel Pentium F0 0F bug, but the kernel can workaround it.

TK installation
I've never attempted anything like this before so I really have no clue. What I'm trying to do is ultimately install the aol instant messenger program for unix. To do this I have to install Tcl/Tk. I don't know what they are for but I followed the directions and installed Tcl just fine, I think. I didn't see any errors and when I type in tclsh at the prompt I get a different prompt % and I can type in commands, so I assume that is Tcl. Anyway I then tried installing Tk. I did this first: ~/tk8.0.4/unix$ ./configure -enable-gcc-shared creating cache ./config.cache checking for ranlib... ranlib checking whether cross-compiling... no checking how to run the C preprocessor... cc -E checking for unistd.h... yes checking for limits.h... yes checking stdlib.h... yes checking fd_set and sys/select... yes checking for ANSI C header files... yes checking for mode_t... yes checking for pid_t... yes checking for size_t... yes checking for uid_t in sys/types.h... yes checking for sys/time.h... yes checking whether time.h and sys/time.h may both be included... yes checking for X... no checking for X11 header files... couldn't find any! checking for X11 libraries... checking for -lXwindow... no couldn't find any!

It says something about no X11 file or directory but I was using X at the time. I would appreciate it if someone could help me with this. Thanks, Kent
