Problemas con el correo de Netscape
Saludos a todos: Mi problema es muy sencillo. primero explicaré la situación: Tengo instalado en dos distribuciones de linux el Netscape communicator 4.5 que regaló PC Actual en su número de diciembre, incluso he instalado el móculo para español, os sea que trabajo con netscape totalmente en castellano. Todo funciona como la seda, navego sin ningún problema en las dos distribuciones. Entonces he querido configurar la parte de correo. Lo he hecho igual que con cualquier otro programa de correo (confieso que no lo he hecho en Linux). Incluso estoy escribiendo estas líneas desde el Netscape 4.5 de Windows, que he configurado exactamente igual. En cambio cuando intento abrir la ventana de correo de Netscape en Linux me da el siguiente mensaje de error: La bandeja de entrada predeterminada no existe. ¡No puede recibir correo! ¿Sabe alguien qué es lo que sucede? ¿Cómo puedo arreglarlo?. Muchas gracias, aunque solo sea por leer el mensaje.
Problemas con upgrade.
Hoy le di upgrade a un servidor de Bo(1.3) a Hamm(2.0) y han surgido algunos problemas: 1.- Los clientes del NIS no pueden leer la tabla de password cada que se reinicia el server pero lo soluciono parando y reiniciando el nis. 2.- En las maquina clientes cuando ejecutan pine por ejemplo no funciona y dice lo siguiente: Egolas:~$ pine Who are you? (Unable to look up login name) Egolas:~$ 3.- Desde el servidor puedo conectarme a cualquier lado, pero desde otra maquina al servidor no puedo y dice lo siguiente: Egolas:~$ tn hydra Trying 148.204.83.32... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused Egolas:~$ Y no se como solucionarlos, principalmente el tercer problema, espero que alguien pueda ayudarme, me urge arreglarlo, de antemano les agradezco cualquier ayuda que puedan darme.
re: modems
Yo tengo un Zoltrix FM-336VSP (33600) externo que va muy bien. Discrimina Voz, datos y fax. Sirve de contestador automático e incluso soporta audio, es decir puedes hablar por teléfono con él sin necesidad de tarjeta de sonido. En Linux no me dio ningún problema. Solo seguí las instrucciones de instalación que encontré en redestb (en la sección de soporte), que son muy generales. y en Windows 95, 98 o NT solo hay que instalar el driver que viene en los discos (es el mismo para los 3 SO). Incluso trae un software de fax y de otras historias que está bastante bien. Yo estoy muy contento con él. Me costó 1 pts. Así que encima es barato. Ahora ya hay por ahí el de 56000 ¡Al mismo precio! (por ejemplo en KM, Alcampo,...). Supongo que habrá marcas que sean mejores que esta, y que incluso tendrán un rendimiento algo superior. Pero creo que no se puede pedir más por menos, y tal como está lo de Infovirria, qué más da. Vamos, que te lo recomiendo. De todos modos fíjate que no sea winmodem ni nada por el estilo, que yo ví algún modelo de zoltrix que lo era (aunque creo que es algo raro encontrarlo). Espero que te sirva de ayuda.

LiNUX en la calle ???
Saludos, Tal vez este no sea el sitio adecuado para discutir este tema, pero me parece tan fundamental que se trate desde las distribuciones (y la de Debian la formamos todos nosotros) que no me da verguenza ninguna introducir el tema. :-) Todos sabemos los problemas a los que se enfrenta LiNUX a la hora de promocionarse, y hay que admitir que no son pocos. Es mas, son bastantes. Y esto es algo que, por mas apego que se tenga a la preciada criatura, hay que admitir y comprender. Este es el primer paso, que no dudo conocera todo linuxero que posea un minimo de razon. LiNUX es un sistema limpio, eficiente, capaz, y agradecido. Bien. Tambien es un sistema complejo, que como no podia ser de otra manera, hoy por hoy cobra toda su potencia en tiempo de aprendizaje y resolucion de multiples cuestiones tecnicas (y no tan tecnicas) por parte del usuario. Esto es una de las cosas que se le echa en cara al sistema, y con toda la razon del mundo. Bien, un problema al que se aduce constantemente es la 'amigabilidad' del sistema. Pero esto nos lleva a una cuestion importante : Que es un sistema amigable ?. Para mi, LiNUX es un sistema totalmente amigable, en tanto en cuanto es el S.O que conozco que mejor se cuida a si mismo, y por ende al usuario. En la otra vertiente, esta la gente que opina que un sistema 'amigable' es aquel que proporciona una mayor facilidad de uso. Y esta gente, con pocas excepciones, esta formada por el usuario pequenio y medio, que podrian englobarse en el 'usuario final'. Al igual que LiNUX hace pagar su potencia y fiabilidad, otros S.O conocidos por su facil manejo (como Windows u OS/2) tambien hacen pagar esta ultima caracteristica. Con que?. Pues con poca potencia y fiabilidad (en la mayor parte de los casos, que sin duda engloba a Windows 95/98/NT, y en menor medida a OS/2). Cual seria el S.O ideal ? . Pues aquel que englobara las dos caracteristicas en cuestion : potencia y facilidad de manejo. Muchos dicen, y con bastante buen criterio, que estas dos caracteristicas son incompatibles al 100%. Argumentan que no se puede obtener un sistema potente al 100% y facil de usar al 100%. Bueno, merece la pena el intentarlo. Dicho esto, hay que aclarar una gran diferenciacion: el problema de LiNUX (esa falta de facilidad de uso), es un problema cuya resolucion pasa por la elaboracion (mejor o peor) de interfaces o front-ends adecuadas. Sin embargo, el problema de otros S.O, como Windows xx , ya no pasa por la elaboracion de una interfaz, sino que, para dar mas potencia al sistema, habria que empezar por los cimientos, en lugar de poner un buen tejado, como en el caso de LiNUX. Y esto es lo que debe entender el usuario de a pie. Este usuario, en la mayoria de los casos, empezo su vida informatica con Windows, hace pocos anios, y hay que comprender que a ese usuario le cueste moverse. De hecho, y me duele decir esto, el cambio a LiNUX no es recomendable en muchos casos, hasta que se haga un buen tejado, confortable y bondadoso para este usuario final. Muy a mi pesar, y con toda mi buena fe, a algunas personas que me han pedido consejo respecto a que S.O utilizar, y despues de exponerme el uso que le van a dar a la maquina, le he recomendado instalarse un Windows, que, para escribir cartas, le va a dar el mismo servicio que LiNUX, y de manera mas grata. Que nadie me malinterprete, estoy hablando de hoy en dia. Poco le queda ya a LiNUX para tener el tejado terminado, y esto gracias a las distribuciones (a todas). Y que puede hacer el linuxero ademas que colaborar con las distribuciones ? . Para empezar, ayudar a la gente (y muy a menudo a si mismo) en las listas de correo. Y, ahi va dirigido este tedioso mensaje, a sacar a LiNUX a la calle. No estoy diciendo organizar manifestaciones, o ir a tirar huevos a las puertas de Microsoft Iberica, sino otra cosa muy distinta, y mas acorde con la filosofia de LiNUX, como por ejemplo: - Se discute en la comunidad de vecinos la compra de un ordenador para la gestion de la comunidad ?. Apoya la mocion y cuidate de que este ordenador vaya equipado con LiNUX (si es necesario, hazte cargo tu del mismo). - El jefe se queja de que la red ya se ha caido ocho veces en lo que va de mes ?. Pues recomiendale LiNUX, y si es necesario da un pequenio seminario a tus companieros para su manejo. - Que en el barrio nadie ha oido hablar de LiNUX ni de nada semejante ?. Buscate unos cuantos linuxeros del mismo (que los habra) y organiza unas charlas. Y asi en muchos casos mas. Como se puede observar, todas ellas llevan implicitas un trabajo 'gratuito', que no lo es en ningun caso. En mi opinion, los linuxeros somos una de las congregaciones mas egoistas, pues si nos pasamos tres horas al dia manteniendo un paquete, haciendo un parche para el kernel, impartiendo un seminario, organizando unas jornadas, u otra actividad parecida, nos estamos ayudando a nosotros mismos, llevando para
RE: modems
Hola... 3. Lea dicha sección. Si dice Requiere xxx o superior, donde xxx puede ser cualquiera de i386, Pentium 100 MHz, Pentium 166 MHz y similares, entonces _es_ un no-modem. Te aseguro, que en la caja que tenemos, pone eso, y que es un hardware modem, y que funciona correctamente con linux. El peor de todos es el HSP (Host Signal Processing), pues en un Pentium MMX 233 MHz puede llegar a utilizar más del 55% del CPU cuando opera a 53 kbps. Un HSP _no_ es un modem, es una tarjeta con un conector RJ-45 y un chip que no hace otra cosa que pasar la información de dicho conector al CPU del computador. En la pagina de Zoltrix, en el enlace de drivers, vienen descritos y diferenciados, los diferentes modelos, segun sean Winmodem o no. No tengo nada que ver con Zoltrix, pero cuando entregaron el modem, me costo emplear un par de horas consultando en la web, para comprobar el funcionamiento con Linux. Saludos.

Netscape 4.08 questions
I while ago I installed netscape communicator 4.08 in /usr/local. I works fine except that it is extremely slow.

forcing dselect to downgrade
I have been experiencing some problems due to my carelessly mixing releases.

Is this true for all you guys that have been running Debian forever? Yes, defragging your disk is _not_ a normal Debian maintenance task. I have been running linux for some 3 three years now (started with Slackware) and never defragged a linux disk. The point is that the ext2 file system is, unlike fat or vfat, mostly `self-defragmenting'. Yup. The ext2 filesystem is a *lot* more intelligent about such things than the FAT filesystem ever could be. For example, typically 5-10% of the space on a partition is reserved for root-only access. Since the filesystem can generally count on that space being available, it can usually prevent fragmentation from arising in the first place. When you add in Linux's intelligent disk-cacheing (any unused RAM is used as a disk cache) if there *is* fragmentation, you only notice it once, when the file is first loaded. After that, it's in RAM. You can often *hear* the difference between filesystems on a noisy drive. Whit FAT, when you access a file you get a lot of jumping around the disk. With ext2, you generally hear something like tick-tick-buzz as it hits the inode table a couple of times and then gets the file more-or-less continuously. (Of course, I've got 128MB of RAM now. I can log in, start up X, and launch several shells before I need to load anything that isn't already in the cache. It's disconcerting the first few times to do all that in near-total silence. :- ) About the only time you get fragmentation is if the filesystem gets *really* full. If it happens, the defrag tools are available, but the best thing to do is just back up the partition, reformat, and restore from backup. This defragmentats at least as effectively, and you should really back stuff up *anyway* before you defrag, right?

libc6-19981211-6
Hi,
Anyone had problem with this version of libc6?
After I install it, all my dns stop working, I had to down grade
to the version in the stable hamm.
A couple of weeks ago, I upgrade my system to slink, I had the
same problem when I install libc6-19981211-4. The next day, a new libc6
came out(libc6-19981211-5), I installed this one, and everything works
again. Now, with this newest version, the problem is back!! Where can I
download libc-19981211-5 again?? As I need apt, and apt need a fairly
recent version of libc.
Thanks.

Dependences Problem - dselect
I'm trying to install Debian slink over the web. I don't have the CDs. The base install from the floppy images goes ok when debian.org is up I can update the packages. Now after 2 weeks of repeatedly trying now using the 2/23/99 disk images selecting the very smallest package, 25MB, this evening I got it to install over the web, I think. I've read all I can find on dselect, dpkg, installation instructions , v1 2 Debian manual none of them cover my problem. The 'Q' command character in dselect doesn't do as the online documentation says only lets it start the install until it checks the dependences then it, I presume dselect, refuses to go ahead. I have a suspicion, with only scant evidence, that the following modules are set to both require the dependent modules/libraries be incompatable with them. libc6-dev 2.0.7t-1 requires libc6 2.0.7t-1 and perl 5.004.04-6 requires perl-base 5.004.04-6 Yes, the dependent modules are selected to be installed but that doesn't help. I selected Debian because of the completeness of the packages included because of the volunteer nature of the project. However, this reminds me of the GNU software that I have tried to install use a little in years past. As near as I could tell the programs worked well, with scant evidence, but I could never be sure what was going on since the documentation was mostly not there.

Thank You -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null First off, don't be embarrassed. While trying to nuke a RedHat parition two months ago, I also nuked 700 MB of DATA on a Win98 partition that was mounted. We all screw up sometimes. Here's my advice: Download and install APT, manually if needed, from ftp.debian.org . On my system, it only requires libc6 and libstdc++2.9. I'm pretty sure you've got those. Once that is done, setup your /etc/apt/sources.list. Mine (using ftp.debian.org, the GA TECH mirror) is: deb ftp://ftp.debian.org unstable main contrib non-free Once you've done that, run apt-get -m -f install. That tells APT to grab whatever is needed to fix your system. Don't worry about consuming network bandwidth. You'll only have to do this once. At most, it should take 4 hours on a 28.8 modem. -- Stephen Pitts [EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster - http://www.mschess.org

Re: forcing dselect to downgrade
I have been following your thread you have my sympathy. I'm too ignorant to have any ideas or suggestions. Your problems sound like mine except on a bigger scale. The Debian people keep claiming that dpkg dselect are so great but in my experience they are at best medium in practice. They admit that the interface is not the best but that the basic workingness is very good. And they do seem to be a good place to start from to write something that does work well. And the documentation! Enough said. At 3/4/99 08:42 PM , you wrote: Stephen Pitts wrote: You don't. Downgrading packages has undefined results. A better option would be to tell the list about your problems and we'll help you fix them -- Currently dselect marks 90% of the package on my system as broken. And there are a lot of them. I tried switching to exim from smail, just to try it. I have constant error messages. Several aps/ games like quake no longer run when not in X and I can not seem to find the requested libraries or get them installed. Fetchmail does not work Most things on the box seem to work fine, but the whole thing seems a little whacked In the hope that my errors will not be repeated by other I will endure the embarrassment of explaining how this happened. My system was running fine off the packages is on my Debian 2.0 cdrom. I decided to upgrade some of the packages via ftp. When I upgraded the package lists of stable, unstable, contrib, and non-free dselect presumed that I wanted to upgrade everything on my system. That everything I had previously installed that had a newer package available was selected for install and included in the download list. This created a serious problem for me because I need the packaging system to warn me about dependencies. If I cancel the download and try to install individual packages via dpkg the required packages will already be marked as selected and no dependency warnings will be given.

Print command
Could anyone tell a newbie the command to print a text file or a man page item, like a file named "vi.1.gz" on a dot matrix printer? I have installed the 'base' system from D/Led floppies (used the 'rescue' disk and installed the drivers disk and the five 'base' disks). During the install, I did install the 'lp' module for the parallel ports. At this point, the 'man' program is either not available or not on the disk. I have been reading some of the man pages using zmore but I don't know how to print or do very much else. I don't have any docs except for what was installed. I'm having a very rough time trying learn how to do things in Debian, I'm good in DOS and Win95 but just beginning to learn Linux. Apparently I have a lot to read and learn before I can get my install to the point I can log onto the web and upgrade to a full system. The few commands I can use I have learned by reading this ng. So far Debian seems to be a great OS with a lot more power than anything I've used in the past, including OS/2 Warp. But the docs are difficult to find and read for a newbie that doesn't have any Unix experience. You could say that Debian is my Unix experience. Is there a list of basic commands for navigation and operations available on the web? The "Howto" pages are great for an in depth explanation of lilo and fips but get a little bit tedious when all I want to do is look at the current fstab or ppp.conf or list a dir. Also, using the 'ls' command, man6 dir doesn't exist and man7 is empty. Is this normal? A Debian geek wannabe is anxious to learn. Thank you.

potato -heyho! message?
I upgraded from hamm to potato yesterday without any trouble, however after the upgrade was completed, I noticed a strange problem. I had several Eterms open when the message heyho! (followed by a newline character) started to be repeatedly printed on one of them. The keyboard did not seem to have any effect (even CTRL-C) and the only way to stop the message from being repeated was to close the Eterm window. That was the second time that this problem occurred. The first time I didn't take much notice of it, so I'm not sure whether it appeared on an xterm or an Eterm. The second time, the problem occurred, I tried ps -a on another terminal while the message was being printed, but I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Has anybody else experienced this? Does anyone know what it is? Anthony

Re: forcing dselect to downgrade
Marshall Savage wrote: I have been following your thread you have my sympathy. I'm too ignorant to have any ideas or suggestions. Your problems sound like mine except on a bigger scale. The Debian people keep claiming that dpkg dselect are so great but in my experience they are at best medium in practice. They admit that the interface is not the best but that the basic workingness is very good. And they do seem to be a good place to start from to write something that does work well. And the documentation! Enough said. Actually I think dselect is pretty good. It was just designed for when Gnu/Debian was much smaller and had much fewer applications. In my case it probably should not have assumed that I wanted to upgrade everything, but not doing that could create different kinds of problems It is very difficult to write an installation / administration interface that helps the beginner / novice run a stable system, but at the same time not take away the power and control that more advanced users want and need. And when you consider that ideally people are going to progress step by step from beginner to expert the difficulty of writing such a usable interface seems quite great. There are just some really fundamental problems when beginners are system administrators. Tom

Problem with dselect
hello, when I install the latest version of linux (debian) from a CDROM eveything works good until it begins with dselect. It ask me for the source and I tell it CDROM, after it ask me for the block device type and it is imposible to go ahead. I try some things like this: /dev/hdb but it say that the kernel do not support the iso9660 norm. I do not understand because it make the all instalation from the CDROM. If I execute a shell I can't mount the CDROM and it tell me the same thing about the iso norm even if I mount it with the next command: mount /dev/hdb -t iso9660 /cdrom Last year with the same computer I could install an older version of debian. Now I can't install the same version. The only thing that difers from before is that I have install a CDROM writer. I have a pentium 166MMX. Notes: - I can install the latest version of RED HAT and after I can mount perfectly the CDROM but I prefer to install the Debian distribution. - Somebody told me that probably the iso9660 file system is configured as a module but I couldn't do anything wiyh the insmod command. May be I don't do it well. Thanks a lot.

APT: packages held back
Hi, Yesterday I wondered how much MBs I'd have to download to upgrade my hamm system (plus *some* slink stuff in there) to slink, so I set my sources.list and did 'apt-get update' + 'apt-get upgrade' (and answered 'no' ;). This showed numerous packages as being 'kept back': The following packages have been kept back zgv libtiff3g-dev mc most aalib1 lynx eeyes xv ncftp gnome-panel xbase aumix elvis g++ util-linux imlib-progs xemacs20-nomule tk8.0 minicom jdk1.1-dev apache transfig whiptail libreadlineg2-dev dialog gnome-utils tk8.0-dev libobgnome0 octave screen tcl8.0-dev libgtkxmhtml0 xemacs20-bin tcl8.0 xdelta bsdmainutils libjpeg-progs egcc ddd xserver-common ncurses-bin gdb netstd bash libtiff3g kbd xpaint gnome-core libgpmg1 procps joe dpkg cftp libobgtk1 gpm libgnome0 gimp tcsh-i18n statserial bc ae less lftp rpm libreadlineg2 tcsh tya Now to my understanding this means that these packages *are* already installed, but will not be upgraded to the versions in slink because of some potential dependency/conflict problems. What kind of effect will this have on my system? How to find out what kind of conflicts there are, and how to go about to fix them? I also have a remark concerning the current apt package in slink: Although the man-pages refer to documentation in /usr/doc/apt (ie. guide.text.gz), these documents are no longer available. My previous version of apt (0.16-1 I think, pretty old), did have these docs in the package. Could this be considered as a bug?

I don't think -k on its own is what you're looking for. This keeps messages on the remote server, but marks them as read. However, it may be of some use in conjunction with the -a (fetchall) option.

FrameBuffer - keyboard problems
hi,
I have an S3 Trio3D video card so i had to use the framebuffer device if i
wanted a 1024x768 display.
Now i have some anoying keyboard problems. I can't use the AltGr key
anymore (it has become left-key). So any key like |@#{}[]`\ i cannot use
anymore in X.
The PgUp/PgDn and some other keys aren't working either, but i could solve
this with xmodmap. Though some people said me this is not a good
sollution.
I got the keyboard section from sombody with the same videocard and
was also using Framebuffer device and had the same problems. For him
this was a sollution, for me not. This is my keyboard section for the
moment:

I have installed the 'base' system from D/Led floppies (used the 'rescue' disk and installed the drivers disk and the five 'base' disks). During the install, I did install the 'lp' module for the parallel ports. At this point, the 'man' program is either not available or not on the disk. I have been reading some of the man pages using zmore but I don't know how to print or do very much else. I don't have any docs except for what was installed. I'm having a very rough time trying learn how to do things in Debian, I'm good in DOS and Win95 but just beginning to learn Linux. Apparently I have a lot to read and learn before I can get my install to the point I can log onto the web and upgrade to a full system. The few commands I can use I have learned by reading this ng. So far Debian seems to be a great OS with a lot more power than anything I've used in the past, including OS/2 Warp. But the docs are difficult to find and read for a newbie that doesn't have any Unix experience. You could say that Debian is my Unix experience. Is there a list of basic commands for navigation and operations available on the web? The Howto pages are great for an in depth explanation of lilo and fips but get a little bit tedious when all I want to do is look at the current fstab or ppp.conf or list a dir. Also, using the 'ls' command, man6 dir doesn't exist and man7 is empty. Is this normal? A Debian geek wannabe is anxious to learn. Thank you. 1. Look for a directory called howto. (find / -type d -iname howto) 2. Look at Printing-HOWTO, Printing-Usage-howto. 3. If you haven't yet downloaded the magicfilter package, do. 4. If you have not yet downloaded the a2ps package, do. 5.

Re: Can Windows95 cause error on my Linux Drive.
Windows and Linux can co-exist on the same disk drive without problems. I have windows 95 and debian on different partitions of the same disk. Windows / dos will ignore partition types 81, 82 ,83 etc. What you need to do is to first partition the virgin disk under windows (leaving room for linux!) then add your linux partitions using linux fdisk. The reason is to insure that MS fdisk doesn't do the job wrong and grab part of the linux partitions. (I have heard that MS fdisk can try to make partitions not using whole number of cylinders while linux fdisk always rounds up to a whole cylinder.) Also installing windows first allows you to set up lilo to use the MBA and boot windows as the second (or first) choice.
