Re: ¿Utilidad para desinstalar librerías sin usar?
El Fri, Jun 04, 1999 at 12:42:32PM +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] contaba: ¿Ya existe algo así? En caso de que no exista, estoy convencido de que alguien ya ha pensado en esto, y no pretendo reinventar la rueda. Existir, existe el `pkg-order'. Está hecho, como puedes imaginar en PERL ;-) Permite hacer investigaciones en las dependencias. Hay una utilidad que se llama `pkg-nodep' que busca paquetes que no sean necesarios para otros. Pero te va a incluir paquetes muy recomendables para el sistema, y no sólo van a ser librerías. Puede ser muy util. Tambien las otras utilidades para comprobar la lista de dependencias, como por ejemplo, `pkg-deptree': pkg-deptree libjpeg62 libjpeg62 gimp libjpeg-progs libtiff3g gimp-nonfree libtiff3g-dev libwraster1 wmaker tkstep8.0 wmaker xv tkstep8.0 wmaker zgv Pero yo creo que si bien esto es muy interesante, no es muy útil. Para mi el mejor sistema de limpieza es el propio `dselect': Pillas el `dselect' y vas paseando por el. Todos los programas y librerías que no sepas para que valen, eliminalos. El ya te avisará de las dependencias (muy rápido) y ahí descubrirás si realmente te era necesario o no. Tambien, los programas que utilices de año en año, sacalos. Siempre tendrás 2 minutos para reinstalar el paquete. En 5 minutos tendrás más o menos una buena limpieza preparada. Ejecuta la desinstalación y voilá. Funciona muy, muy bien. -- Saudos: ose[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Vigo/Galicia/España) http://pagina.de/xmanoel/ http://w3.to/mikkeli/

I am trying to compile the Linux kernel 2.1. . . . why? 2.2 is the current stable version. 2.1 is the previous development version, but all the features of 2.1 should be in 2.2, only more stable. When I compile the kernel with the command 'make bzImage' the image generated has a size of about 800.000 bytes, and when I try to install the image using 'liloconfig' I get the error 'kernel too big', but I cannot remove more drivers from the kernel without lose features that I really need. What is the maximum size of the kernel? Is possible to increase this size? The max size on Intel boxes is supposed to be 512MB or slightly more. This still goes back to the ancient 640K barrier in real mode. Don't remove any drivers, but compile them as modules instead of static parts of the kernel. For instance, if you need vfat support for Windows disks, or ISO9660 for CDs, or sound support, or PPP for a modem, you can compile all of those as modules and they won't increase the size of the kernel at all.

Network Card Complication in Kernel Compliation - Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 +
Okay... I got a really annoying problem here. I have two Intel EtherExpress Pro/10+ ISA LAN Adapters. I basically wanted to have both activated and running in Linux. But I need to set it up so that I can use both at the same time. Right now... it seems that it only activates one, not two. So..where exactly do I have to do to complie the kernel to get both working? I have complied it as built into the kernel which I complied and ran fine. But it only detects one... not two as it supposed to be. Any suggestions on this? Someone mentioned support but what exact is support do I need in the Kernel setup? I preferred to complie the kernel with no modules for speed and reliablity with no extra junk in it. :) Any help is appreciated.

Seriously, there are people in such a situation as described and in their
case it's not funny. People do get tracked down and killed.
If (as is probably the case) it's a genuine cry from the wilderness,
there's probably not much anyone can do except maybe (and discreetly)
offer some comfort. Even email messages can be risky though, in such
cases, since there is a possibility of tracing them to the recipient.
In any case, even if it's possible that it's a scam, it should not be

Kernel with APM support.
I have Debian running on my SONY VAIO and it works like a dream. Only thing I am missing is the APM support. I downloaded the kernel source package, etc. and I am getting ready to compile the kernel with APM support. I would like to keep my system as it but with APM support. Since I have never compiled the kernel before, I have no idea what to select and what to leave out when runing make config. Is there a way I can use the default settings of the Debian package and just add APM support so I end up with the exact same kernel, but with APM support?

PS/2 vs Serial mouse.
Hi, I have a question regarding using a Logitech cordless MouseMan Pro PS/2 mouse on a Compaq LTE 5200 notebook. Although it is a PS/2 mouse, I can only hook it up to COM1 to get it to work in X. If I plug it into PS/2 port, the cursor won't move. I assume it's because ttyS0 is taken by COM1 and not PS/2 port. Can anyone tell me if this is the case, and which one is for PS/2, or will the mouse work as a PS/2 mouse? I am using MouseMan as the mouse protocal. Thanks! Best wishes, Chip

X windows manager?
Hi, I finally get an X server to run, but still seem to have a lot to work out. It seems that I am assigned a windows manager (or none at all) that is not so desirable. The xterminal in X has no title bar, so the window cannot be dragged and moved. I tried to copy .xinitrc under the home directory, and tried to assign fvwm95 as the windows manager, but it didn't seem to work. Would appreciate any help. Also, I am using an external monitor for a notebook. Every time I quit from X windows, the monitor will blink every few seconds. Did I do anything wrong to cause this?

Getting rid of vi color
For some reason, vi (elvis) has started to display colors and behave in a generally unpredictable way. I first (just now) noticed this in a .h file in which it is also disallowing things I want to do, e.g. it beeps when I try to delete (with 'x') the first character of a commented-out line, although the file is world-writable. It works sometimes, but not after I have done a search with '/' to get to the line I want to amend. It turns out that sane behavior can be obtained by deleting or renaming the directory /etc/elvis. That directory contains 10 files containing program code in a language unknown to me. Well, I see from the man page that they are EX commands. I would like to make a mild protest against the unnecessary complexity of this setup. I would like to be able to run the program without interference due to the maintainer's over-elaborate configuration. If I have to delete the Debian configuration to make the system work, that tends to defeat much of the rationale for using Debian. And makes the KISS approach of another distribution appear brilliant, inspired, and a great time-saver. The problem with the color is that dark blue against a black screen is not, for me, very readable. The file is mostly commented out and I guess the blue signifies that and some people may like it. But I should think the onus should be on those who want the elaboration to configure it, rather than for the rest of us to have to learn more than we wanted to know about vi in order to defeat it. It is a very good idea to provide full configuration files for a program if it is configurable; but the default configuration should produce the default configuration. I.e. /etc/elvis/ should contain files which explicitly require the default vi behavior. That way, they serve as documentation for those who might want to investigate customization. Regards, Mike

Hi, After moving the HD from a broken CTX notebook to a Compaq LTE 5200 notebook, I found that the audio is gone. Can anyone tell me how I can get the sound back to work? Thanks!x Best wishes, Chip Recompile the kernel with sound settings that are valid for your new notebook. Also, since you moved onto a completely new motherboard, you might want to recompile the kernel anyway. Last time I installed new mboard without recompilation, I had a headache for a week afterwards from all the problems. Andrei --- Andrei S.

That ought to take care of that. Also, I am using an external monitor for a notebook. Every time I quit from X windows, the monitor will blink every few seconds. Did I do anything wrong to cause this? No, it should be ok. Thats X shutting down. Lastly, I seem to have a virtual desktop in X.

Re: Getting rid of vi color
Did you file a bug report? At the least, it would let the maintainer know that someone doesn't like the default setup.

Re: Junk?
On Sat, 5 Jun 1999, Michael Talbot-Wilson wrote: There is a /usr/lib/elvis directory that contains documentation and trash (MS-DOS stuff). There is also a /usr/doc/elvis directory. That comes from the elvis package. The MS-DOS stuff is probably because Debian tends to distribute all the documentation, even stuff pertaining to MS-DOS ports of various programs. Probably that's so packages don't have to be massively changed if they ever make a Debian MS-DOS distro ;) There are directories /usr/lib/developers-reference, /usr/doc/developers-reference and /usr/share/developers-reference. That comes from the developers-reference package. Every package makes a directory in /usr/doc that contains at least the changelogs and copyright information for the package.

Re: autofs for all users
*- On 5 Jun, Stefan Baums wrote about autofs for all users Hi all, I am using autofs. My /etc/auto.master is: /mnt/amnt /etc/auto.amnt --timeout 1 and my /etc/auto.amnt is: cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro,user :/dev/hdc floppy -fstype=auto,rw,user:/dev/fd0 If I access /mnt/amnt/floppy for reading, everything is fine. If I try to write something to the disk as ordinary user, I get: cp: cannot create regular file `/mnt/amnt/floppy/test': Permission denied The problem seems to be: If Joe User accesses /mnt/amnt/floppy, the automount daemon, _running as root_, calls mount _as root_ so that root is the owner of /mnt/amnt/floppy and the only one allowed to write there. How can I let ordinary users access the floppy for writing? You need to set the permissions so that ordinary users can write to the device. This is my setup: #/etc/auto.master /rmd/etc/auto.rmd -t 30 #/etc/auto.rmd a -fstype=auto,rw,uid=0,gid=35,umask=007,unhide,sync,quite :/dev/fd0 z -fstype=iso9660,ro,uid=0,gid=35 :/dev/hdd Notice the user and group id's as well as the umask. I then have all users that I want to be able to access the drives in group GID=35(I call it group dos, but it can be anything you want). When autofs mounts the drives it mounts them with permissions root.dos rwxrwx---. I also have identical lines in my /etc/fstab so that the user can unmount them manually with umount if they wish. /dev/hdd /rmd/ziso9660 noauto,user,ro,uid=0,gid=35 0 0 /dev/fd0 /rmd/aauto noauto,user,rw,uid=0,gid=35,umask=007,unhide,sync,quite 0 0 The same can be done for other filesystem type partitions if you want, say a win95 partition that you don't want to have mounted all the time.

Re: Mozilla is..errm..slow?
I installed Mozilla today on my potato system. It was very slow. I don't know how to say this, but if this is how it is supposed to perform it is no better than it's dad Netscape. In fact, it is worse. This is a known issue, and from what I've heard, the problem lies in gtk, not Mozilla. The widgets are being constantly redrawn, even when they don't need to. If you really want to run it, you could try fiddling with different versions of gtk (I don't know if that will help), but otherwise just sit tight. They're working on it.

Linux and 3DFX (prolly off-topic)
Hi. I've just installed a Monster3D pass-through for my Diamond Stealth 64. I installed GLIDE 2.x, Mesa 2.6 (Quake doesn't seem to like 3.0) and a 3dfx module (which creates a '/dev/3dfx' device) -- my kernel is 2.0. I can run programs compiled with libc6 (not with libc5 however, I just get a seg fault). The various 3dfx test programs run OK, and so does Quake II running it's GL renderer. The only problem I have is that the card will only work at the 640x480 resolution -- nothing higher, nothing lower. The 3dfx test programs simply crash, and Quake II reverts back to 640x480 if I try and change. I know that there's nothing wrong with the card because I can switch properly in Win95. Any ideas ?

Re: What is ELF?
ELF and a.out are two different ways of arraning data in a compiled program or library. a.out is older; ELF has more features. Most of the linux world switched to ELF several years ago, and new a.out binaries are uncommon on linux. (Although, for historical reasons, the compiler will still CALL your compiled file a.out). The kernel runs ELF binaries natively, and runs a.out binaries if you have support compiled in for them (or in a module - called binfmt_aout or something like that). Use the 'file' command to see what sort of file an executable is. Carl
Exim problem -- maybe
I did a fresh install of Deb v2.1 using the 'Web Server plus' option. It loaded a couple of things different from v1.3. I have successfully run email between two computers in the office. However, when I try to email to this group I get an error message. Not surprisingly, I didn't write it down. The error message implied that I didn't have access to lists.debian.org. This could be a DNS (ypbind) problem. I could turn ypbind off but I would still have to get DNS from somewhere. I'm printing off the documentation for exim (277 pages) as I enter this but I wonder if I'm going the wrong direction.

In both cases, it has been displayed (or printed) a message like this: Error: /invalidfont in findfont Operand stack: F0 Times-Roman Font Times-Roman 14740 Times-Roman --nostringval I tried to uninstall and install gs (and gs-aladdin) and related packages but I did not fix the problem. Does somebody have a sugestion to this? Thanks.
