Kernel 2.2
Hola a todos... Normalmente, tengo dos nucleos para alternar con lilo, ahora tengo 2.0.35 y 36. Ahora que ha salido el 2.2, tengo la duda de si se puede alterna uno de la serie 2.0 y otro de la 2.2, o este ultimo necesita binarios que en la anterior pueden producir problemas. Por cierto, no se si hay documentación de este ultimo nucleo en español. Saludos.

Es posible que haciendo pruebas o por error hayas creado las dos tablas en la base de datos template1; si es asi, no solo te aparecerán en la base yyy, sino en todas las bases que crees desde ahora, ya que template1 es la plantilla que utiliza postgres como patrón para la creación de bases de datos.

Re: urgente swhitch/hub

Te recuerdo que en UNIX generalmente el directorio actual (.) no está en la ruta de búsqueda (PATH), así que para ejecutarlo tendrás que dar la ruta completa.

En realidad le ocurre a un amigo que tiene instalado RedHat y una grabadora de CDROM. Para grabar CDs utiliza el programa cdrecord. El ordenador tiene 64MB de RAM y 130MB de swap. Pues bien, reiniciamos la maquina, hacemos un top y la mem. usada es 10MB. Ejecutamos el programa cdrecord una vez, y despues de que el proceso ha terminado, hacemos un top y la memoria usada es 60MB!! Y no hay ningun proceso visible que consuma esa memoria. Yo he pensado que quiza el programa cdrecord tenia un bug consistente en que el programa no libera la memoria utilizada, pero es que al correr el programa cdrecord por segunda vez, funciona sin problemas por lo que es imposible que el cdrecord haya hecho uso anteriormente de 50MB, funciona con 4MB. Pero claro, al leer ahora estos mensajes de la lista, y ver que el problema aparece con programas completamente diferentes, creo que el bug es del programa top que en algunos casos no indica correctamente la cantidad de memoria utilizada. ¿A alguien mas le pasa?

Hola, Antonio! Si hago rm -r *.html en un directorio no baja a los siguientes. ALguien sabria por que pasa eso?? Bueno, es que no deberia hacerlo. La shell sustituye la estrella por los nombres de los ficheros antes de que rm haga nada, asi que para rm es como si le hubieras dicho rm -r fichero1.html ... ficheron.html donde fichero1.html,...,ficheron.html son los ficheros html presentes en el directorio donde das la orden (pero no en los inferiores!).

El problema es que bajo email desde dos casillas, mi ISP y mi trabajo. Como no quiero mezclar lo que manejo en el trabajo con la correspondencia particular tengo creados dos usuarios en mi máquina; en uno recibo la correspondencia desde mi ISP y en el otro desde el trabajo. El problema es que cuando mando algún mensaje desde el usuario correspondiente al trabajo, me gustaría que la dirección de retorno fuera precisamente la de mi trabajo y no la de mi ISP, pero todos los mensajes salen como provenientes de mi ISP debido (creo) a la línea visible_name en el archivo de configuración de smail. Traté con una opción de mutt que se supone pega lo que uno quiera después de la @, pero nada. Lo peor es que los mensajes enviados desde este usuario (como este) salen con una dirección de retorno que ni siquiera existe (espero), pues llevan el login de mi cuenta del trabajo, pero el nombre de mi ISP después de la @.

Felipe Sánchez [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null El problema es que debes tener configurado el sistema para que enmascare el dominio del correo (lo que va después de la arroba). Hay _varias_ formas de hacerlo. Dos formas de hacerlo: 1- puedes hacer que el MTA enmascare (como lo tienes) 2- o bien, que el MTA _no_ enmascare y lo haga el MUA (el mutt o netscape, p.e.): para configurar el sendmail para que no enmascare compila el siguiente archivo /etc/mail/sendmail.mc (o tras escribirlo escribe sendmailconfig: /etc/mail/sendmail.mc-- divert(-1) VERSIONID(`@(#)sendmail.mc 8.7 (Linux) 3/5/96') define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.mx4.redestb.es') OSTYPE(debian)dnl FEATURE(use_cw_file) FEATURE(nouucp) FEATURE(local_procmail) MAILER(procmail) MAILER(smtp) --- cambia tu servidor smtp en SMART_HOST!!!. Recuerda que el resto de configuración del sendmail es la de siempre (sendmail.cf...) Para enmascarar el usuario puedes hacerlo desde el MUA, un ejemplo con el mutt es el archivo en tu HOME .muttrc (copia el /etc/Muttrc a tu HOME como .muttrc y le añades al final las siguientes lineas, módifica con _tus_ valores) -~/.muttrc- set use_8bitmime # If your sendmail supports the -B8BITMIME flag set allow_8bit # never do Q-P encoding on legal 8-bit chars set charset=iso-8859-1 # character set for your terminal set edit_hdrs # let me edit the message header when composing my_hdr X-Operating-System: Debian GNU/Linux # User Defined Headers my_hdr From: Vicente Barba [EMAIL PROTECTED] my_hdr Organization: 100% LiNUX: http://personal1.iddeo.es/ret003u7 set editor=joe -asis # editor to use when composing messages set attribution=El %d, %n decías: # how to attribute replies set pager=joe -asis set locale=es_ES --~/muttrc- Hay otras formas de enmascarar el usuario y/o dominio pero esta es una de las más sencillas. -- Vicente Barba: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Albacete [ES] 100% LiNUX v0.03: http://personal1.iddeo.es/ret003u7 Debian GNU/Linux -- Usuario Registrado # 90822

I would also look at installing the gs-aladdin package from the non-free part of Debian. It has a special HP Deskjet driver compiled into it. You can specify lots of features such as print quality, color mode, paper type, etc. See the gs-hpdj man page once it is installed. You then will have to modify your print filter(use magicfilter as others have suggested) to specify the options you want.

Robert-Jan Kuijvenhoven: The problem is that dselect fails to connect. Dselect shows the following message: Connecting to ftp.debian.org Failed to connect The ftp program normally doesn't dial the modem for you, because it doesn't know whether you aren't just intending to use the ethernet, or even just connect locally. (Which is usually not done with ftp, but sometimes is with other things.) You *can* set up your network so that whenever any program tries to contact a remote computer it'll dial your ISP, if you want, but first you should set it up so it works manually using the pon command. So if I am correct, de pon command should establish a connection? Well, it does not connect. Some lights on the modem flash (DTR, RTS, RxD, TxD), but not the session light, which usually indicates that there is a connection. If I try the pon command, some of the lights of my modem flash, but when dselect is trying to connect, the modemlights don't flash. My modem is a cable modem, which can be configured just like a normal 28k8 modem. After you do pon, can you ping your ISP's computer? Like this: ping machine.isp.com No, unable to locate host, but that's probably because there is no connection. If so, try pinging ftp.debian.org If neither of these says anything, try the command `ifconfig' which will tell you about all the network interfaces - it should list a loopback, any ethernet cards you have configured, and the ppp link. `ifconfig -a' will also list any interfaces that are currently down. There are no ethernet cards in my computer. Ifconfig -a gives the following result: Lo Link encap:Local Loopback Inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metrics:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 ppp0Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:0.0.0.0 P-t-P:0.0.0.0 Mask:0.0.0.0 POINTOPOINT MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 Memory:1b0f038-1b0fc04 The ppp0 part will only show, if I give the ifconfig -a command, immediately after a pon. Once the ppp link is UP and RUNNING, the `route' command will tell you how the kernel thinks it ought to route packets. It should probably have a none-of-the-above entry at the end that points to the ppp0 Iface. Oh yeah, does /var/log/ppp.log or /var/log/syslog contain anything interesting? ppp.log: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid0 abort on (BUSY) abort on (NO CARRIER) abort on (VIOCE) abort on (NO DAILTONE) abort on (NO ANSWER) send (ATZ^M) expect (OK) ^M NO CARRIER -- Failed Failed (NO CARRIER) Connect script failed exit.

NFS upgrades
Hi, I'm currently helping upgrade a server running Debian 2.0 to the 2.2 kernel. We've managed to satisfy most of the dependencies mentioned in the kernel documentation other than the NFS one - the changes file suggests 2.2beta40, while the latest Debian package I've been able to find is 2.2beta37. Is this significant? The machine is exporting the home directories for a NIS cluster over NFS, so I'd rather not discover hideous problems with the setup :) Thanks, -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED]

reconfiguring a serial port -- please help
Hi all I am trying to reconfigure my serial ports and am having no luck. At the moment, I have my mouse on /dev/ttyS0 and an internal modem on /dev/ttyS1. What I want to do is put my modem on /dev/ttyS2 IRQ7 so that I can use the built in serial board (that I presume exists on my mother board) on /dev/ttyS1 (irq 3) for other stuff. First I changed the jumpers on my model to COM3 IRQ 7 (an unused IRQ) and added the following line in /etc/rc.boot/0setserial ${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/ttyS2 irq 7 port 0x3E8 skip_test autoconfig ${STD_FLAGS} and modifiyed my peers script for my dialup to look at ttyS2. Nothing. The modem did not so much as beep. Next I tried to change the interupt back to 3 (the original for /dev/ttyS1 just in case it was irq 7 that was the problem). Nothing. Finally, I tried to set the model to COM2 IRQ 7. Still nothing! It appears that the only setting that works is COM2 IRQ 3 :-( My motherboard is an intel triton EXP8551, my modem is some clone (it doesn't appear to have a brand name), and I'm using kernal 2.1.125.

TNT/OpenGL acceleration?
Having made the decision to grit my teeth and buy a whole new machine, I'm giving a lot of thought to what video card to buy. My current one (which will continue to live with us) has some cheapo SVGA card and uses 3dfx for Quake. I really like TNT though, and it would be nice to buy a 2D/3D card that at least nominally supports XFree86 (source obfuscation issues aside, I know) AND allows me to play That Game without having to shell out for a separate Voodoo II. Catch is, the Linux Quake HOWTO and its friends all seem to suggest that 3dfx is the only way to get hardware-accelerated Quake (or much else) going. There are hints here and there that Riva were thinking about addressing this issue, but I can't find anything recent. If this is still true, I can't really justify buying a card like this since I don't run Windows on anything so won't get all that lovely 3D stuff. Short form: is it/will it soon become feasible to run hardware-accelerated stuff like Quake[II] with just a TNT card? Or should I just shrug, buy a nice Voodoo II, and pick up a nice 2D card at the same time? -- Joel Gluth joel-at-n-space-dot-com-dot-au Software Engineer, N-Space Adelaide. http://www.n-space.com.au She is honest and kind, but in a way that people see as telling lies and being mean. -- Heavenly

Networking
I have two pcs at home with net-work cards, PC-A PC-B. In PC-A there is no CDROM drive, I installed Debian Linux base from floppies. In order to make room for Linux, I had to get rid of Windows 95 at PC-A, but I have kept DOS6.22 Windows3.1. Now, I can't connect to my Win95 PC-B using Windows Network IPX/SPX protocol because there is no Windows95 or Windows for Work Groups at Linux/Dos PC-A. I want to transfer my important files to the DOS partition of my Linux/Dos system using some kind of network before I start playing with my very important and state of the art PC-B. Is there anyway I can network DOS with Windows 95? Another way I tried is to install Netware 3.12. But the CD I have borrowed legally for trial purpose from my friend has *.img files in it. I have no idea what type of files are these. I tried to rawrite into floppies but that does not create any file-system (msdos or ext2). I have problem doing anything at all at this point. May be someone can help!
Re: Networking
How about the crude approach of yanking the HD out of box A and install in B? While sounding painful, doing that with a change of jumpers to accomodate the slave (if needed) can go quite quickly.

Re: NFS upgrades
Hi Matthew, I'm currently helping upgrade a server running Debian 2.0 to the 2.2 kernel. We've managed to satisfy most of the dependencies mentioned in the kernel documentation other than the NFS one - the changes file suggests 2.2beta40, while the latest Debian package I've been able to find is 2.2beta37. Is this significant? The machine is exporting the home directories for a NIS cluster over NFS, so I'd rather not discover hideous problems with the setup :) I upgraded to 2.2.1 recently and haven't had any problems with NFS. I do not use the kernel based NFS server though. (I noticed the 2.2beta37 as well) Bye, Tino.

I made the mistake of purchasing the HP DeskJet 712C, which is a Windows-only printer (braindead printer, most printing is done by Windows proprietary software). If this is one of HP's printers using the PPA architecture, there actually exists a linux driver that currently prints black and white very nicely at 600 dpi: http://www.rpi.edu/~normat/technical/ppa/index.html Color support is in the works. This concerns the HP 710, 720, 820, and 1000 series. I exchanged it for a HP DeskJet 697C, which works great under Linux. The 712c listed Windows as a system requirement; the 697c said the printer would work under Windows AND DOS... I guess that's the determining factor. The 710C also has DOS support, but only in a windows DOS box. I believe (not sure, though) that the 800 series also work under Linux. The 690 series are definately a go, though. (My dad has a 693c which also works great). Some of the 800 series (the 820, e.g.) also use the PPA architecture. If you want to be sure the printer is directly supported by gs, you should look for a HP printer that supports the PCL printing language. If you are stuck with a PPA (Prining Performance Architecture) printer, the ppa2pbm program from the aforementioned web page will be of great help. HTH, Eric -- E.L.

upgrading to 2.0.35 or 2.0.36 under Hamm
I am running Hamm very happily on a machine sitting in an ISP. However, it can't access the SCSI controller and I need to fix that (very nervously). I am advised that the ncr based controller is likely to be happier with the 2.0.35 or 2.0.36 kernel, though it may still need a driver/module upgrade then. One step at a time: anyone else moved to 2.0.35/36 while retaining the rest of Hamm? I don't really want to make the move to slink until a while after it moves to be stable but I do need to make this move.

On the linux end, install the smbfs and samba packages (perhaps also smb-nat), and make sure the smbfs module is in the kernel (check /proc/filesystems). One problem is that from the linux end, file listings tend to be incomplete. I'm told recompiling the kernel will help, and I'm going to do that RSN here at home.

Is there anyway I can network DOS with Windows 95? The other way, which will probably be much less bother (but much less flexible) is Laplink, as someone else already suggested. Laplink is a wonderful program that can handle almost anything. However, we use an old (pre-W95) version; I've no idea whether the current version is still so robust. (The only thing our version had troubles with was W95 - but even then all it needed was to run in MS-DOS mode.) The two computers need to be connected by a serial or a special parallel cable. Once up, laplink presents two boxes on the screen, a local one and a remote one, and lets you copy between the two.

KDE-1.1Pre2 on a hamm system (report)
Hello, if someone is interested in, I just succeeded installing the KDE-1.1Pre2 debian packages from the kde.org server on a mostly pure Hamm system. Here's a list of what needed to be done on my machine: - kdebase depends on the following packages that need to be upgraded manually: o qt-1.42: Sources fetched from potato and compiled on my machine using dpkg-buildpackage. Be sure the following _hamm_ packages are installed (beside some standard -dev packages): mesag2 2.6-3 A 3-D graphics library which uses the OpenGL mesag2-dev 2.6-3 Development library for Mesa [libc6]. gltt1 1.7-3 library to read and draw TrueType fonts in O gltt1-dev 1.7-3 development kit for gltt o libjpeg62: Fetching the Slink binary does not work due to wrong libc6 version. But building a debian binary from the slink source can easily be done using dpkg-buildpackage. o libncurses4: Same as for libjpeg62. The sources are in the libs section not in the base section. I recognized no conflicts with the hamm curses packages after installation. o zlib1: kdebase depends on version 1.1.3 which must be compiled as well. Be sure to use the sources from the oldlibs section not from the libs section where only 1.1.2 can be found. This version also includes some libc5 packages which need an old gcc version. I fixed this by not using dpkg-buildpackage but debian/rules binary-zlibg after removing some dependencies in the rules file. - After all the kde packages could easily be installed. But I removed them soon afterwards, cause my whole system stopped (even the kernel, no ping response from externel) each time I logged out. Guess these are some pci problems triggered by kde. Has anyone else seen this (kernel version is 2.0.34) ? Peter P.S.

I've got a HP LaserJet IIIp and chosen hpjet3 in magicfilterconfig. But when printing my LaTeX files with dvips the left margin is greater than I told to. Can you help me.
smail configuration.
Hi, some sites mail spam rejects my mail because my hostname is not qualified. So how do I config smail to make sure my host name is qualified. I had a look at the man page about /etc/smail/qualify... but don't really understand what to do with it... Thx. Shao.
Re: Come cambiare l'owner di uno script lanciato da pppd ?
Ciao, tra i vari script in /etc/ppp/ip-up ho messo uno che fa: /usr/sbin/pppstats -w 10 >> /var/log/pppstats.log dato che viene avviato da pppd, ha owner root, anche se 'pon' lo lancio da user normale. Quando mi disconnetto, con 'poff', killo il programma, ma mi dice: /usr/local/script/pppstats.sh: kill: (2411) - Not owner perche' giustamente e' (ps aux) root 2411 0.1 1.0 728 324 ? S 01:33 0:00 /usr/sbin/pppstats -w 10 Insomma, come faccio a chiudere il programma alla fine della connessione? (pppstats.sh e' uno script bash, "fotocopiato" dagli altri script classici start/stop/restart) -- Paolo Pedaletti, Como, ITALYa [EMAIL PROTECTED] paolo, per cambiare l'owner usi "chown owner> file>" ma questo script dev'essere lanciato da root. per cio, se vuoi terminarlo deve usare "sudo". altrimenti, si puo scrivere una piccola programma nel linguaggio c e farla setuid: /* kill9.c */ #include sys/types.h> #include signal.h> main(argc, argv) int argc; char **argv; { if (argc > 1) while (*(++argv)) kill((pid_t) atoi(*argv), 9); } fai la compilazione: gcc kill9.c -o kill9 e puoi fai suid (lo devi fare come root): chown root kill9 chmod 4555 kill9 allora, puoi usarlo passando i numeri di processi che vuoi uccidere, per esempio kill9 101 1024 -- Aaron Stromas | "Tick-tick-tick!!!... ja, Pantani is weg" Oracle Corp. | BRTN commentator, L'Alpe d'Huez, 1995 Tour de France +1 703 708 68 21 |
SoundBlaster card configuration
Hello everybody, having problems with your SoundBlaster card. I recommend to recompile the kernel and to set the irq, ports, etc. Don't forget to say yes to the sound devices. I know, compiling the kernel is not the easiest thing and eats time, but it's worth this. Your new kernel perfectly fits your system. I've never had any problems with sound doing it this way. Possibly, there are parameters to give at the boot prompt wich serve this purpose as well, but I don't know them. Can you tell me about that?
Re: HP LaserJet IIIp configuration
I've got a HP LaserJet IIIp and chosen hpjet3 in magicfilterconfig. But when printing my LaTeX files with dvips the left margin is greater than I told to. Can you help me. I don't use magicfilter myself, but could it be that it is configured for letter paper whereas you are sending it A4? HTH, Eric -- E.L.

Re: Dial in Server Problem
Jorge Sousa hat gesagt: // Jorge Sousa wrote: I'm trying to use Debian Linux as a ppp dial in server for Win95 clients. I'm able to login into the linux box only if I have the - Bring terminal window after dialing - check box checked. If this checkbox is off the line goes down after a while. If I login using the terminal window I'm stucked inside a very small window and cannot interact with my win95 system. How can I assign a IP address to the caller's interface? How can I be validated using AutoPPP? How to avoid the terminal window? Which log files can I send to the list to get some help? I've read a lot of files, followed some examples but still missing something on the authentication side. Hi Jorge, I did set up a ppp server just yesterday after A LOT of problems. But now it is working, yeah. -= THE GOAL =- The dialin server has the IP-number 192.168.0.1 in my LAN. Incoming connections shall get the IP-Number 192.168.0.50. All normal users on 192.168.0.1 should be allowed to dial in using their passwords. -= THE RUN =- First I installed the usual packages, i.e. pppd and mgetty. They have to be configured. Don't change /etc/ppp/options! Put inbound options in the options file for your modem port. My [EMAIL PROTECTED] sits at ttyS0 so I edited /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 (copied from options.ttyXX) to give the incoming calls the right IP-Number: --- # /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0: # Edit the following line so that the first IP address # mentioned is the is the IP address of your host while the second # is the ip address of the serial port 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.50 # DEBUG is good at first debug # END options --- Now comes the critical part: Win95 prefers PAP so I had to setup the file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets The secrets file in my pppd-package has a bug, I think, which caused authentification to fail. The right way is this: --- # /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: # INBOUND connections # Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd # From debian mailing list: * * 192.168.0.50 # ^ this number HAS to be the SAME as in #the file options.ttyS0 (IMPORTANT) # UserIDs that cannot use PPP at all. Check your /etc/passwd and add any # other accounts that should not be able to use pppd! guest fliwatut* - master fliwatut* - rootfliwatut* - support fliwatut* - stats fliwatut* - # OUTBOUND connections # your stuff here [...] --- The last file to check is /etc/mgetty/login.config The line starting with /AutoPPP/ should be uncommented and read something like: /AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd auth +pap -chap login -detach ^ this can also be 'a_ppp' or just an '@' and you maybe don't need the -detach option. -= THE SMOKE TESTS =- On the client side there should be no further configuration necessary. Just make a new dialup connection to your debian machine as described in /usr/doc/ppp/win95.ppp Now watch incoming calls in the following two places: /var/log/mgetty/mg_ttyS0.log * should show mgetty starting the pppd Example: [...] 02/08 15:58:40 yS0 tio_set_flow_control( HARD ) 02/08 15:58:40 yS0 print welcome banner (/etc/issue) 02/08 15:58:40 yS0 getlogname (FIDO AUTO_PPP), read:~[ff]}#[c0]! 02/08 15:58:42 yS0 input finished with '\r', setting ICRNL ONLCR 02/08 15:58:42 yS0 tio_get_rs232_lines: status: RTS CTS DSR DTR DCD 02/08 15:58:42 yS0login: use login config file /etc/mgetty/login.config 02/08 15:58:42 yS0 match: user='/AutoPPP/', key='' 02/08 15:58:42 yS0 match: user='/AutoPPP/', key='' 02/08 15:58:42 yS0 match: user='/AutoPPP/', key='/AutoPPP/'*** hit! 02/08 15:58:42 yS0 calling login: cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd', argv[]='pppd auth +pap -chap login -detach' 02/08 15:58:42 # data dev=ttyS0, pid=1063, caller='none', conn='33600/LAPM/V42BIS', name='', cmd='/ usr/sbin/pppd', user='/AutoPPP/' [...] /var/log/ppp.log * shows the gory details of two pppds talking to each other, checking passwords and negotiating IP adresses. One last tip: If you can do, then try dialing into the debian machine from another debian or linux system. You will get a lot more debuging info this way. Hope this helps.

Re: Need help with Leafnode/Netscape
You could try going into /etc/hosts.allow and changing the hostnames for leafnode so that they use numeric values instead (ie change 'localhost' to '127.0.0.1').
