Migrar NT Server a Debian Linux
Hola hola M$ no se cansa de intentar convencer a la gente de migrar desde otros entornos a NT. Y a mi me ha dado por migrar NT a Debian GNU Linux. Pero me faltan algunas cosillas. Asi para empezar, tengo el dhcp y el bind para sustituir a los servicios DHCP y DNS de M$. Pero me falta algo para sustituir a WINS. No he visto en la lista de paquetes de hamm algo como un servidor de nombres netbios. ¿Hay alguno? ¿Qué puedo usar? Para continuar, samba me viene bien para compartir directorios con clientes 95 y cosas asi. ¿Pero como hago para simular desde Linux una impresora de las de 95 o NT? Esto creo que esta peor. A lo mejor lo mas sencillo es usar un puerto LPR desde el cliente 95 o NT para imprimir sobre una impresora LPD de Linux ¿no? En cuanto a bases de datos SQL, tengo donde elegir. Son un poco distintas a SQL Server, pero eso no importa. El ODBC hace milagros. Lo que no se es que hay para Linux que sustituya a SNA Server. Necesitaria un terminal 3270 (via telnet o con comunicaciones SNA nativas) y a ser posible un gateway de tcpip a QLLC para que los clientes solo usasen tcpip contra el gateway. Para acabar, ¿alguien usa tarjetas X.25 con Linux? ¿Qué tarjetas usa? ¿Alguien ha visto tarjetas Eicon (no RDSI) sobre Linux? Un saludo. Andres Seco Hernandez [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Corte de la luz
Hola a todos. Normalmente dejo mi pc encendido dia y noche, y en ocasiones, cuando llego a casa, veo que ha saltado la luz en algun momento y el pc no ha rearrancado (cosas de las ATX y la bios). El caso es que arranco la maquina y me hace un fsck y muestra el progreso del test de disco, sus fases y sus correcciones. La pregunta es: ¿Se guarda en algun fichero de log ese resultado de mensajes para analizar con mas tranquilidad? Otra pregunta: ¿Es estable el sistema de ficheros ext2fs? Me refiero a que si se pierden muchas veces datos cuando no tienes UPS y se va al garete la luz. Y la ultima: ¿Hay que hacerle mucho caso al resultado del fsck? Es decir, ¿hay que preocuparse mucho y revisar de nuevo el sistema operativo de punta a punta o normalmente sigues hasta que algo te falle? Andres Seco Hernandez. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Opciones de compilacion del kernel
Hola. Aun no tengo suficiente control de Linux (es decir, todavia no he leido y probado lo suficiente) como para atreverme a compilar un kernel, pero necesito saber qué tiene compilado el kernel que tengo puesto, qué es lo que soporta. ¿Hay alguna forma rapida de saber lo que tiene dentro? Por cierto, es el kernel 2.0.34 que viene en la hamm de Datom. Saludos. Andres Seco Hernandez [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Oracle
Estimados amigos, Estoy instalando el Oracle 8 para linux. Sigo los siguientes pasos: 1) Hago el grupo y el usuario, dba y oracle respectivamente. 2) En /etc/profile escribo todos los export necesarios. 3) Ejecuto oratab.sh 4) Hago un su -l oracle y esas cosas 5) En /cdrom/orainst/ ejecuto orainst y sigo la instalación, (por cierto, hay que corregir scripts sobre la marcha). 6) Cuando acaba toda la fiesta. Cambio a usuario root. 7) Dentro del subdirectorio donde te crea todo y tal como dice voy a ejecutar root.sh 8) No encuentro ningún ejecutable o algo por el estilo y mira que veo que hay ./oracle y cosas así. Ruego que a partir de aquí si alguien sabe que hay que hacer me diga algo porque estoy muy interesado en aprender y no hay forma humana de instalarlo sin saber chino. Un saludo. Angel (Gracias anticipadas)

Si el proceso chequea automaticamente todo y arranca normalmente no merece la pena preocuparse por nada más. Esto es pura rutina. Si no es capaz de chequear en modo automático todo, merece la pena poner algo de atención y ver si aparece algo recuperable en lost+found. Esto no debería ocurrir salvo en muy raros casos y si ocurre de vez en cuando es muy mala señal. Puede ser un problema de hardware. Cuando hago una instalacíon de Linux por primera vez me gusta poner a currar como loco al Linux con muchos procesos accediendo simultaneamente al disco duro y apagarlo a las bravas en plena actividad. Si no arranca de forma totalmente automática despues de un obligado fsck me mosqueo, y empiezo a investigarlo todo. De todas formas no se me ocurre apagar el sistema mientras esté chequeando el disco duro. Puede no pasar nada pero eso es muy mala leche. Por eso si alguna vez se va la luz por una causa desconocida y vuelve a los pocos minutos esperaté diez minutos para ver si aguanta sin volver a irse. Que duda cabe una UPS cumple su cometido incluso con un Linux. :-) Andres Seco Hernandez.

La compilación de un kernel de Linux es algo bastante sencillo. En otros sitestamas es un tema más complicado. Siempre hay que tener la precaucion de poder arrancar con el kernel antigüo las primeras veces pero por lo demás probar no representa ninguna complicación. Para esto tendrás que mirar algo de LILO o de loadlin. Si entras en /usr/src/linux y haces make menuconfig empiezas a configurar el kernel y normalmente las opciones por defecto son las que se usaron la última vez. En cada nivel puedes consultar la ayuda con ?. Después haces: 1) make dep - Actualiza dependencias 2) make clean- Borra restos de compilaciones anteriores. 3) make zImage - Crea el nucleo (Ver A) 4) make modules - Crea los módulos necesarios 5) make modules_install Instala los módulos copiandolos en /lib/modules/kernels_release/ 6) depmod -a - Crea el fichero de dependencias entre módulos. (Ver B) No olvides copiar el nucleo al lugar correcto desde donde será cargado por el LILO o por loadlin y configurar LILO o loadlin. A) El fichero imagen del kernel se genera en: /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage B) Fichero con las dependencias que será usado por modprob para averiguar que modulos son necesarios para ese módulo: /lib/modules/`kernelversion`/modules.dep C) El fichero con la configuración de los modulos está en: /etc/conf.modules D) El mapa de los modulos está en: /usr/src/linux/System.map ¿Hay alguna forma rapida de saber lo que tiene dentro? Por cierto, es el kernel 2.0.34 que viene en la hamm de Datom. La estructura del nucleo esta permanentemente reflejada en /proc/ mira los ficheros que aparecen y veras muchas cosas interesantes. (los nombres totalmente numericos representan procesos activos). En caso de problemas recuerda que en /usr/src/linux/Documentation vienen cosas tan utiles como la ayuda del configure configure.help y modules.txt donde viene la informacion relativa a los modulos Una vez cargado el kernel nuevo se puede comprobar los mensajes en el momento del arranque con dmesg o mirar en /proc o listar los modulos disponibles con modprob -l. Tambien puedes consultar los modulos que kerneld tiene informacion sobre ellos. Kerneld determina que modulos deben de cargarse consultando /etc/conf.modules. Si este fichero no contiene toda la información necesaria puede crearse con: modprobe -c | rep -v '^path' /etc/conf.modules Se puede instalar o desintalar un modulo con las utilidades insmod y rmod (consultar con man) Para mas informacion hay varios HOWTO's Kernel-HOWTO Module-HOWTO BootPrompt-HOWTO Kerneld-mini-HOWTO man modprobe man kerneld man depmod Los beneficios de recompilar el nucleo y adaptarlo a tus propias necesidades son muy grandes. Merece la pena hacerlo cuanto antes. Saludos.

Pregunta sobre paso de la 2.0 a la 2.1
Hola! Estoy trabajando con una 2.1 actualizada desde una 2.0, y... bueno, no es que vaya mal: todo lo contrario. El caso es que el otro día le instalé a un compañero una Debian 2.1 con slink y me fijé que hay ficheros que en la mía no estaban. Para más señas me refiero a /etc/environment. Y además en la mía está el método ftp para dselect y en la de él no (realmente está escondido con el apt). En el caso de los ficheros nuevos, supongo que habrá sido que se crean al poner el sistema base. Pero sólo es eso, que lo *supongo*. Entonces... ¿qué hay que hacerle a una actualizada de 2.0 a 2.1 para quitarle esas diferencias? ¿Hay algún paquete específico para eso? Muchas gracias. Un saludo, Tomás. _ Tomas Bautista.

Yep. Debian doesn't make profits from CD sales -- it relies upon
donations. Official CD images are created which anyone can download
to create official CDs. The official bit just means the vendor
hasn't modified it.
Many vendors allow you to make a donation alongside your payment for the
CDs. You can also send donations directly to SPI who will keep the
money on behalf of Debian.

SLRN killfiles (was: pine mutt)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On Sun, 21 Feb 1999 21:13:38 -0700 (MST), John Galt wrote: I dunno about scoring--I rarely use the function, but I re-migrated back to TRN when I realized that SLRN had no killfiles, what I consider to be an essential tool in USENET. Uhm... Uhm John, John, John *sigh* In the scale of how things work, scoring is *above* killfiles. Killfiles are an absolute yes/no. Do you get the article, yes or no? Scoring are a set of rules that apply a positive or negative score to an article. Once all rules are applied to the article then action is taken on that article, *including killing*. A score of - in SLRN's scoring *is* functionally identical to a killfile. For example: [*] Score:: - Xref: .*:.* .*:.* .*:.* .*:.* .*:.* Xref: advocacy Subject: \$\$ Subject: \#\# Subject: \[Ss][Ee][Xx]\ Subject: \! Subject: 011 Subject: (?\d\d\d)?[- ]\d\d\d-\d\d\d\d From: ; That is my killfile, or a portion of it, really. I didn't show and of the From: filters. But anything crossposted a few times, crossposted to an advocacy newsgroup, that has $$, ##, a variation of sex, !, 011, a phone number, or a ; in the related fields gets killed. But here is where killfiles get useful. Let me show you three score rules and an example of what can happen with them. [*] Score:: 100 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [comp.editors] Score:: 100 Subject: [Jj][Oo][Ee] Subject: [Jj][Ee][Dd] [*] Score: 1 ~Subject: Re: Those three read that anything from [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be give a score of 100. Anything with joe or jed in the subject gets a score of 100, and anything that doesn't have Re: in the subject is given a score of 1. The first two rules are there because they are people I want to read messages from, the last one gives a minute boost to all new articles so when I go into a rather large newsgroup I can skim the new headers and ignore the unscored articles, if I choose, because, in theory, I've looked at the thread and deemed them not worth my time. So, if I go into comp.editors and John Davis, author of JED, is talking about JED in a new thread, it gets a score of 201 and is filtered to the top of my article list. Any followups by other people are attached to it by threading (for that session) and get a score of 100. Any new articles, or articles which contain joe/jed in the header get respective scores. The end result is an article list which is presented to me in a threaded format but with articles I want to read near or at the top of the list. My favorite rule is this one: [*] Score:: 1000 References: [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anything to me gets a score of 1000. Shoots it right to the top of the list. I don't think I've ever missed a response to me. Also, once I participate in a thread the theory is that I am interested in it, so even though the 1 score for new thread doesn't apply to later replies, I still read these threads fairly quickly. Finally, this rule: [*] Score:: -500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is an individual I don't like reading messages from. However, I don't want to kill his posts because sometimes they may be directly to me and I want to answer. IE, he hasn't warrented the absolute kill of a killfile. So if he starts or participtes in a thread, that thread is moved almost unilaterally to the bottom of my article list. If he responds to any post by me, the value is cut in half, placing it at the bottom of articles at the top which are scored high for me. IE, I get to go through all the articles and then am presented with the rubbish that I can either choose to read or discard, but has been filtered low for me so I know it is there. These are, admittedly, simplistic examples of what scoring can do. You can, obviously, score up and down on a variety of criteria that gives you quite a diverse set of scores, both positive and negative, so that articles are presented in a priority of your choosing. As for killfiles, as has been stated, anything - is killed, no questions asked. Even messages which are to me (+1000) are killed because the value - is special. So a +1000 and a - is still - and killed. The only way to prevent that is a + *before* the -. +, as you may surmise, is keep, no matter what. Another thing you can do, which is something I do not do, is set the kill value lower than -. You can set it to anything you want, positive or negative. Anything less than that value is killed. So if you have a bunch of negative rules that cumulatively get over that threshold, boom, it is outta there. Hope this clears up the grave misunderstanding you, and others might, have about SLRN. :) - -- Steve C. Lamb | I'm your priest, I'm your shrink, I'm your ICQ: 5107343
vim has no color after moving uo to slink
Anyone else experience this? When I was running hamm, my vim displayed colored syntax highlighting, but now I have no color, and I get this error message: Error detected while processing /etc/vimrc: line 55: Can't open file /usr/lib/vim/syntax/syntax.vim vim still has the ability to display color because when I start it, the tildes are displayed in blue. Where might the syntax.vim or its slink equivalent be located? I found vim-rt on the debian site. It mentioned syntax highlighting in the description. I downloaded it and installed it. The error is gone (cuz I let it overwrite my /etc/vimrc), but I still get no syntax highlighting :( Could I replace my lost syntax.vim file with one from someone else's system?

IP_Masq and Modem Help Needed
Hi, I just installed Debian by floppy on an old 386SX20 that I plan to make the gateway to my home LAN. (right now my gateway is a P60 that dual boots, so it's a pain in the butt for others in the house if it is in the wrong OS ;-) Anyhow, I used the setup app pppconfig to get everything configured, that's fine ;-) it connects ok. I have an ethernet card configured for the box on my home LAN, and it sees all the other boxes fine (can telnet in and out and stuff). So, that's good. The pon thing works fine, it connects when I run it. But that's as far as I have gotten. So, the stuff I need to figure out how to do now are the following: 1) get pon to come run from the time the box boots, and redial/reconnect if it looses carrier or get's a busy signal, etc... If this box is on, I want the modem connected. Not sure what to do here, anyone got a script or two I could use, and tell me where they go? 2) change the default gateway in this box to be ppp0 instead of eth0 (I routed it through my current LAN and other gateway to grab a couple packages) Not sure where this is exactly, what should I be looking at/for? 3) Stick the following in some rc.d somewhere to run at boot time: echo ip_masq 192.128.1.4 echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward /sbin/depmod -a /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp.o /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio.o /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc.o /sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.4 /sbin/route add -net 192.168.1.0 /sbin/ipfwadm -A in -i -S 0.0.0.0/0 /sbin/ipfwadm -A out -i -D 0.0.0.0/0 But where should that go? the rc.d stuff looks a little different in Debian that what I am use to. I think that's it.. After that I should be able to set the default gateway on all my boxes over from 192.128.1.2 to 192.138.1.4 and be all set... Any help greatly appreciated! ;-) -- Robert W.

RE: IP_Masq and Modem Help Needed
1) get pon to come run from the time the box boots, and redial/reconnect if it looses carrier or get's a busy signal, etc... If this box is on, I want the modem connected. Not sure what to do here, anyone got a script or two I could use, and tell me where they go? The supplied ppp package can do this, read the docs and you will discover. However should you is another question. Tying up a one of your ISPs lines just because you can is noy a nice thing to do. Use it when you need it. 2) change the default gateway in this box to be ppp0 instead of eth0 (I routed it through my current LAN and other gateway to grab a couple packages) Not sure where this is exactly, what should I be looking at/for? From below it sounds like you have a 2.2 kernel going -- it will do the routes for you. Do not set them, do not worry. 3) Stick the following in some rc.d somewhere to run at boot time: echo ip_masq 192.128.1.4 echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward /sbin/depmod -a /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp.o /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio.o /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc.o /sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.4 /sbin/route add -net 192.168.1.0 /sbin/ipfwadm -A in -i -S 0.0.0.0/0 /sbin/ipfwadm -A out -i -D 0.0.0.0/0 But where should that go? the rc.d stuff looks a little different in Debian that what I am use to. When you install and config ipmasq one of the things it ask is should ipmasq be run when the ppp connection goes up -- tell it yes and config the /etc/ipmasq stuff and you are all set, no muss no fuss. As to the modules, place a scrip in /etc/init.d and then read the man page for update-rc.d. Should cover ya. 2.2 does all the routes you need. Do not bother setting them.

Re: Re: Modem
It's a generic internal 28.8 hayes clone modem. I will do as you suggest and see what happens. Thanks. At 2/21/99 3:41:00 PM, you wrote: What kind of modem is it? Anyway, that freezing sounds like it could be an IRQ conflict. Check cat /proc/interrupts to see which IRQs are taken, and setserial -g /dev/ttyS* to see what are the stats on COM ports. This can help, since if you know what COM port the modem is on, and it's conflicting, you can reassign the stats.

decoding/viewing pictures
Hello again ! As I often download fractal images from the newsgroups I would like to find a news reader which will auto-decode the encrypted graphics and auto-exec a viewer programme ? Can anyone recommend a good picture viewer - prefer svgalib based rather than X based but any _good_ viewer is better than nothing ? My inability to find this software is the only reason I have left to use Win95 and, although I don't have a phobia about MS products, I would prefer to use Debian consistently. It's an absolute pain to have to re-boot just because I want to look at pretty pictures and then re-boot to get some work done (and, of course, I lose my dial-up connection with each re-boot !) As always, any and all comments are welcome. Ivan.
dos filesystem panic
Hello, every week or two, I get a filesystem panic on one of my dos partitions, and when I reboot to DOS, sure enough, it's a mess. I don't know which comes first, the panic or the mess. I fix it (PC Tools diskfix and/or DOS chkdsk), and a week or two later it's back. Any idea what might be causing that? The message in the log is usually `fat_free: deleting beyond EOF', and it sets the filesystem read-only. In kern.log, this is preceded by: Feb 16 07:31:04 legend kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Feb 16 07:31:04 legend kernel: 03:01: rw=0, want=210587, limit=194737 Feb 16 07:31:04 legend kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Feb 16 07:31:04 legend kernel: 03:01: rw=0, want=210587, limit=194737 Feb 16 07:31:04 legend kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Feb 16 07:31:04 legend kernel: 03:01: rw=0, want=210587, limit=194737 ... I don't think it's the kernel, since I recently switched from the default 2.0.34 to my own compiled 2.0.36+sym53c416 They are ordinary DOS partitions; I boot from one of them (using loadlin); most commonly, the panic pops up when the disk is being used over samba (in fact I can't remember it happening otherwise). BIOS spins the disk down, but normally it spins up again whenever I access it.

Re: Curious Question.
Dan Willard: Just how closely does Linux match with Unix? If I know Linux and sitdown in front of a Unix terminal am I just going to notice a few differences (ie file locations and a couple of commands) or am I going to be lost? I think I already know the answer but would like confirmation. Thanks. Probably the most noticeable difference will be between the GNU utilities and the usual Unix utilities. Most obviously, normal unix doesn't have the double-dash long options (ie, you must say `ls -a' rather than `ls --all'). Also, GNU utils often have more options; for example, tar might not have the `z' option, so you have to compress as a separate step: # tar cvf abc.tar ... ; compress abc.tar rather than # tar cvzf abc.tar.gz ...

Re: Kernel: Unable to load interpreter
Chris Kaltwasser: Does someone know the meaning of this message? I don't know what the message means, but I got it when I ran out of virtual memory. A way to check how much memory is free is using Shift-ScrollLock (with the default keyboard map). This works even if there isn't enough memory free to run `free'. If you don't know what's gobbling up the memory, try running `top' and pressing `M', which is the sort-by-memory key. You can leave it running on a spare terminal, so that it's there when you need it (use the secure option if necessary). The hard drive starts thrashing, and just about everything I try to do becomes impossible. That would be consistent with running out of memory - first the computer starts using swap (hence the thrashing), then it runs out altogether. If you need a lot of virtual memory on a short-term basis, you can use a file-based swap - not as efficient as a partition, but a lot easier to set up. Wouldn't get rid of the thrashing, but it'd let the computer finish what it's trying to do (assuming it's something that actually finishes eventually).

bash question

Re: bash question
Hi ppl, As far as I did not find the answer in bash manual, I hope that someone can help me here. Let say I have two bash scripts and I need the parameter which is set in scr2 to be visable in scr1. scr1: #!/bin/sh export LANG=lang1 echo LANG is $LANG in $0 scr2 echo LANG is $LANG in $0 scr2: #!/bin/sh echo LANG is $LANG in $0 export LANG=lang2 echo LANG is $LANG in $0 However the output is : LANG is lang1 in ././scr1 LANG is lang1 in ./scr2 LANG is lang2 in ./scr2 LANG is lang1 in ././scr1 ^ ... so I have got here the old value of LANG. The question is it possible to get the NEW value which is assigned in scr2? Yes. You need to source the script instead of executing it in a separate shell. Then scr2 can actually be viewed as a part of scr1, but only contained in another file. You source a script with the `.' command: . scr2 The problem with this is that nothing in scr2 is separated from scr1, so the usefulness of having two scripts is gone. As an alternative you could let scr2 print the new value, like scr2: #!/bin/sh export LANG=lang2 echo $LANG scr1: #!/bin/sh export LANG=lang1 echo $LANG LANG=`scr1` echo $LANG But this may not be what you want. The `export' command only works `downward': the exported variable is put in the environment of shells and programs called from the shell where it is used. HTH, Eric -- E.L.

To decode multipart messages tag them all with the key # and the press : -- ____ Frank Barknecht __ __ trip\ \ / /wire __ / __// __ /__/ __// // __ \ \/ / __ \\ ___\ / / / / / / / // // /\ \\ ___\\ \ /_/ /_/ /_/ /_//_// / \ \\_\\_\ /_/\_\

As I often download fractal images from the newsgroups I would like to find a news reader which will auto-decode the encrypted graphics and auto-exec a viewer programme ?

My inability to find this software is the only reason I have left to use Win95 and, although I don't have a phobia about MS products, I would prefer to use Debian consistently. It's an absolute pain to have to re-boot just because I want to look at pretty pictures and then re-boot to get some work done (and, of course, I lose my dial-up connection with each re-boot !)

Re: bash question
Thanks Eric, I tried sourcing scr2 and it works faster then CALLING scr2. Eugene. On Mon, 22 Feb 1999, E.L. Meijer (Eric) wrote: Hi ppl, As far as I did not find the answer in bash manual, I hope that someone can help me here. Let say I have two bash scripts and I need the parameter which is set in scr2 to be visable in scr1. scr1: #!/bin/sh export LANG=lang1 echo LANG is $LANG in $0 scr2 echo LANG is $LANG in $0 scr2: #!/bin/sh echo LANG is $LANG in $0 export LANG=lang2 echo LANG is $LANG in $0 However the output is : LANG is lang1 in ././scr1 LANG is lang1 in ./scr2 LANG is lang2 in ./scr2 LANG is lang1 in ././scr1 ^ ... so I have got here the old value of LANG. The question is it possible to get the NEW value which is assigned in scr2? Yes. You need to source the script instead of executing it in a separate shell. Then scr2 can actually be viewed as a part of scr1, but only contained in another file. You source a script with the `.' command: . scr2 The problem with this is that nothing in scr2 is separated from scr1, so the usefulness of having two scripts is gone. As an alternative you could let scr2 print the new value, like scr2: #!/bin/sh export LANG=lang2 echo $LANG scr1: #!/bin/sh export LANG=lang1 echo $LANG LANG=`scr1` echo $LANG But this may not be what you want. The `export' command only works `downward': the exported variable is put in the environment of shells and programs called from the shell where it is used. HTH, Eric -- E.L.

Re: bash question
Thanks Eric, I tried sourcing scr2 and it works faster then CALLING scr2. This is to be expected: if you call a script, separate shell is started that runs it. This takes some time. If you source a script, the only overhead is opening and reading an extra file. Eric -- E.L.

Chack that you have the right modules in /lib/modules/kernel-version/fs/ and if not either recompile your kernel and configure your preferred code pages or give the right codepage option when mounting FAT partitions. -- ____ Frank Barknecht __ __ trip\ \ / /wire __ / __// __ /__/ __// // __ \ \/ / __ \\ ___\ / / / / / / / // // /\ \\ ___\\ \ /_/ /_/ /_/ /_//_// / \ \\_\\_\ /_/\_\

Right to Left languges (Hebrew)?
I wnat to write in hebrew under debian. The question is if this is possible, and also if it is possible to convert wordprocessors and editors to work with hebrew (mainly write from right to left and use hebrew fonts) also if that is possible, how do i install the new fonts (hebrew fonts). I know i have true type fonts i amnot shure about what others. I looked at the hebrew-HOWTO and it doesn't provide any answear. Thanx

The Hebrew HowTo covers vim, TeX-XeT, X fonts etc. If you find it lacking and the author doesn't respond, you could consider adopting it (the version I came across was from 1995).

Re: i740 and Xserver as user
This is being forwarded to the list; please include Micheal in your reply. Thanks. At 11:11 PM 2/21/1999 -0500, you wrote: I am replying to your post re the Intel i740 driver and Debian 2.0. I've recently switched to Debian from Redhat 5.2 to try it out. Everything installed well. I can only use XWindow as root.

My permissions seem to be ok and things seemed to be linked correctly. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike: I'm still a little too green to know these answers, so I've forwarded your message to the Debian Users list. If I were you, I'd probably use dselect to remove X base, which should give a message about dependency problems and hopefully remove other X stuff. Then let dselect/dpkg remove it. Then turn around and add X base back to your system (dependency stuff should include what you need), make sure you install the X server you want to use (SVGA, Mach64, etc), and let dselect/dpkg reinstall all that. Then see if things work the way you want. I'm sure there's a better way to fix this, but being limited in knowledge of the under-the-hood workings, this is what I'd try.

[Linux] nfs server crashing all the time
Howdy, I have a Linux compilation server running in a mostly SUN and SGI environment. Everything is running fine except for the NFS which is really a pain. When I try to reach an exported filesystem from a SUN or SGI, the nfs daemon crashes after a few minutes (well, it's still there but it stops accepting connections). Every once in a while the PC completely hangs (even Ctrl-Alt-Del gave up) with a lot of messages like nfs warning: mount version older than kernel on the console. I'm running kernel 2.1.131 (ATM support) and nfs-server-2.2beta37. I'd like to install the latest version of the nfs-server but I can't find it (no refs in the documentation :-( ). Any ideas where to find it or how the get the #$%#$% nfs working stable? Thanks in advance, Nico ps: the server is running Redhat 5.2, but I also have nfs troubles on my portable running debian. -- --- system failure ... hit any user to continue ... --- Nico De Ranter Sony Service Center (PSDC-B/DNSE-B) Sint Stevens Woluwestraat 55 (Rue de Woluwe-Saint-Etienne) 1130 Brussel (Bruxelles), Belgium, Europe, Earth Telephone: +32 2 724 86 41 Telefax: +32 2 726 26 86 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
