Xlib6g y perdida de configuracion teclado (XKB).
Hola, tengo instalada la Debian 2.0. He actualizado algunos paquetes de Slink, parte son de Xwindow. El problema viene por `xlib6g_3.3.2.3a-11.deb', que al instalarse decide que se carga Xlib6, una oldlib que necesito para el notescapes y el acroread (¿no?). Pues reinstalo la Xlib6g de Hamm y Xlib6, pero ahora me doy cuenta que la tecla borrar hacia atr´as no funciona en Xwindow, y veo que los acentos tampoco, ;-) Eto eh mu grave. ¿Alguien sabe como arreglo este problemilla? ¿Que otro paquete tiene que sufrir una involucio´n? El `/home/cosme/.xsession-errors' dice Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default Failed to open input method En c´onsola tambi´en se ve este error: The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: Error:Can't find file xfree86 for keycodes include Exiting Abandoning keycodes file default Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap Bueno, a ver si alguno de vosotros sabe como se soluciona esto.

Retardo en la conexiones de red
Hola a todos. Tengo un problema con las conexiones de red que se hacen contran el debian que tenemos en la LAN. Ayer recompilé el kernel para activar IP_MASQUERADE. Parece que ha sido desde entonces. Lo que ocurre es que un intento de telnet , o de conexión para recoger correo o al servidor de noticias tarda mas de dos minutos. También cuando ejecuto netstat tarda el mismo tiempo en completar el comando. Al ejecutar route salen inmediatamente las rutas localnet y 127.0.0.0 pero la ruta por defecto que esta a uno de los gateways de la LAN tarda en salir esos dos minutos aproximadamente. No tengo servidor dns. ¿Sabe alguien que está pasando? Gracias

preferencias avanzadas. El lynx, si eres root puede modificar su fichero de

que puedes usar variables de entorno o tu propio fichero de configuraciones

pueden utilizar el proxy para acceder a ftp, p.e: wget es capaz

ftp, smtp de una forma natural desde un Windows con WSP (WinSocks Protocol,

RE: Retardo en la conexiones de red
prueba con route -n o netstat -n (creo) Yo tenia los mismos problemas con TODOS los programas que intentan mostrarte los NOMBRES de las maquinas y no sus IPs, me explico: Si tienes mal configurada la resolucion de nombres, el programa se queda colgando, por ejemplo resolviendolo a traves de un servidor dns que esta mal configurado y no da una respuesta immediata. La opcion -n (creo) indica a estos programas que no te den los nombres, sino sus IP. Me di cuenta utilizando el programa strace que te muestra por pantalla las llamadas a sistema que realiza un comando. Con esta opcion (la -n creo) los programas se quedaban colgados abriendo un soquet con una ip X y el puerto 53 (el de dns). Asi lo descubri. La solucion depende mucho de como tengais montada vuestra red. Os puedo dar unos consejos a ciegas - No ejecuteis DNS que no useis. - Poned las ips bien conocidas, (p.e. las maquinas locales) en el fichero de hosts /etc/hosts - El orden de resolucion, haced que utilizen el fichero de hosts primero en /etc/host.conf order hosts bind nospoof off - Si tienes problemas con la resolucion de nombres, no los utilices hasta que no lo hayas solucionado p.e.tcpd (el programa que se mira hosts.allow hosts.deny) utiliza la RESOLUCION INVERSA (sabeis lo que es?) para averiguar el nombre de la maquina a traves de la IP, que es lo unico que conoce del origen al recivir la conexion, para saber si ha de permitirla. Si usas las IPs y no los nombres en el fichero, no hace falta. De todas formas, con -n (creo) siempre os ira mas rapido. Espero haber sido de ayuda. Un Saludo, Valentín.

Configurações IDE
Isso não é exatamente uma questão de Debian, mas afeta a minha instalação. se alguém puder ajudar... A situação é a seguinte: tenho uma Compaq Deskpro EP 300A/4.3 BRZ, trocando em miúdos um Celeron. Nas opções da BIOS, tem IDE translation. O NT (instalado pela empresa onde trabalho) só inicializa com isso habilitado; o Debian se recusa a gravar a MBR com o lilo a menos que você desabilite a tal tradução. Questões: O que exatamente é essa tradução IDE? Em que ela ajuda ou atrapalha a máquina? Porque o Debian precisa dela desabilitada (ou o NT habilitada)? Como faço pra conseguir usar os dois sistemas? A minha idéia seria tentar desabilitar a tradução e usar o disco de recuperação do NT para tentar fazê-lo inicializar de novo, e então entrar no Debian com o disquete de inicialização e instalar a MBR do lilo. O que vocês acham? Obrigado! Leandro Guimarães Faria Corcete Dutra Amdocs (Brasil) Ltda
RES: Configurações IDE
José Manuel Nunes: Em princípio não é preciso mudar nada. Em princípio era para funcionar... a questão é que o NT só inicializa com a tal tradução IDE, e o lilo nem se instala com ela habilitada. Está tudo bem explicado no HOWTO NT/Linux (se bem que o passo da disquete seja desnecessário). Se você estiver se referindo ao disquete de inicialização do Debian, foi o único jeito que encontrei até agora sem desabilitar a tradução IDE (e portanto a inicialização do NT). Leonardo Ruoso: Faca o seguinte, não inicie o Debian pelo Lilo mas pelo NT Loader! Não ha muita diferença pratica entre iniciar com um ou com outro! Hmm, é uma boa sugestão... mas deve haver uma solução no lilo, seria uma boa para aprender um pouco mais. E não confio em nada da M$, nem no carregador do NT (Não me Tranqüiliza)... ^ ^ Uma coisa mais é que a tal tradução IDE, embora eu não saiba exatamente o que significa, me faz lembrar daquelas particularidades do DOS com discos grandes IDE, o que me faz suspeitar de que possa afetar negativamente o desempenho e (ou) a confiabilidade do sistema. Se ninguém tiver mais informações, fico com tua sugestão. Leandro Guimarães Faria Corcete Dutra Amdocs (Brasil) Ltda

Sim, deve ser tradução de endereços. Que eu saiba não afeta o desempenho. O problema é que o Linux não usa a BIOS para acessar o HD. Talvez ajudasse se você dissesse qual o tamanho e a geometria do HD. Provavelmente, você precisa usar a opção LINEAR do Lilo, ou passar os parâmetros de geometria (cilindros, cabeças, etc).

Coincidently, I've been fooling around with the 2.2.10 kernel (I got the .deb from the 'Incoming' directory). I've gotten it to compile fine on a i386 architecture machine with SMP disabled. I've compiled it a bunch of times without any problems. I really can't imagine why you would have this problem unless there is another option you're setting that causes a compilation problem that is somehow corrected when SMP is defined. This would definitely be a bug, but I'm only speculating. Are you sure your source distribution is not messed up somehow?

Frontpage extensions?
I am looking into the possibility of transfering an NT/IIS based webserver over to apache on debian 2.1, the only thing I need to confirm is that the frontpage extenstions will be available and equal to the NT versions. A couple things: Is it available as a deb package? Is it in the distribution and I'm just not looking in the right place? I have read about exploits in them, supposedly worse in the unix versions than in NT. Is there anything to worry about there? With apache, will it be a drop-in replacement for an NT server? Does it provide all the 'webbots' and scripts e.g the hit counter etc? Thanks. Corey

Re: Hoping for some help with this kernel error
Incidentally, on the subject of kernel 2.2.10 and make-kpkg, has anyone had a compile problem just after patching to 2.2.10? Normally when I install a patch, I use a modified version of the patch-kernel script, and then I run make-kpkg kernel_image. However, when I upgraded from 2.2.9 to 2.2.10, the compile stopped near the end with an error which I can't remember, and to get it to compile I discovered I had to make-kpkg clean, before runnning make-kpkg kernel-image.

I never did get things working as I wanted, but now I can't remember the specifics, besides the corrupted .mime.types entries.

I've got an ATX system with APM enabled and working fine. I'd like to disable the power button in software so that the machine effectively cannot be switched off without root access - `shutdown -h now' would still halt and power-down. Is this possible? I can't find an option similar to this in the kernel options. -- alisdair mcdiarmid `nothing i say is absolute. i just make it sound that way :)'

Try add routes for your ip-aliases:
route add -host 216.178.140.240 eth0:0

route add -host 216.178.140.224 eth0:14
This is something that has been bothering me for a while. I want to
thank Doctor What for mentioning the problem and Mirek Kwasniak for the
solution.
Since I have a large number of virtual addresses, I wrote a little
function to perform the ifconfig route operations together. As a
bonus side benefit, I no longer have to manually number the virtual
interfaces. I'm posting the function so that other people can make
use of this refinement.
# IFCOUNTER counts the virtual interfaces.
IFCOUNTER=0
# Set up a virtual interface.
#
# Usage:
#virtualif Interface IP number netmask broadcast [reset]
#
# Example:
#virtualif eth0 192.168.246.1 255.255.255.128 192.168.246.127
#virtualif eth0 192.168.246.2 255.255.255.128 192.168.246.127
#virtualif eth0 192.168.246.3 255.255.255.128 192.168.246.127
#virtualif eth1 192.168.246.129 255.255.255.128 192.168.246.255 reset
#virtualif eth1 192.168.246.130 255.255.255.128 192.168.246.255
#
# The use of the reset flag starts the virtual interface counter from zero.
#
virtualif() {
INTERFACE=$1
IP=$2
NETMASK=$3
BROADCAST=$4
RESET=$5
# When specified, reset the counter so that a second interface can
# have its own series of virtual interfaces.
if [ ${RESET} ]
then
IFCOUNTER=0
fi
# Build the virtual interface name string.
VIRTUAL=${INTERFACE}:${IFCOUNTER}
# The point of all of this is to:
/sbin/ifconfig ${VIRTUAL} ${IP} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
/sbin/route add -host ${IP} ${VIRTUAL}
# Increment the virtual interface counter.
IFCOUNTER=`/usr/bin/expr ${IFCOUNTER} + 1`
}
Despite the examples mentioned, I set shell variables for the netmask(s)
and broadcast address(es) to enhance readability and to avoid mistakes
in typing. I also use shell variables to give names to the IP addresses,
so the calls tend to look like:
WWWORBITSCOM=207.199.167.12
WWWSILBERSOFTCOM=207.199.167.14
virtualif eth0 ${WWWORBITSCOM} ${NETMASK} ${BROADCAST}

A couple things: Is it available as a deb package? Is it in the distribution and I'm just not looking in the right place? No, I'd think that the license would be way too restrictive. After a bit of searching (wonderful navigable Microsoft site), I found them at http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/frontpage/wpp/default.htm They have instructions for patching the apache source tree. For future reference, try 'less /var/lib/dpkg/available'. Its a text version of the DPKG database of available packages. Use '/stringEnter' to search for a particular string, and 'n' to cycle through matches. I have read about exploits in them, supposedly worse in the unix versions than in NT. Is there anything to worry about there? I don't think so. The FreeBSD-based ISP that I host web pages on, pair.com, has Frontpage extensions on all 100+ servers; therefore, it is possible to make them secure. There's a page on the frontpage web site on security. With apache, will it be a drop-in replacement for an NT server? Does it provide all the 'webbots' and scripts e.g the hit counter etc? I'm not sure, but I'd guess no. You might want to investigate PHP3; Its everything that ASP is and a lot more. There are a lot of public domain hit counter scripts out therel just grab one. Thanks. Corey One thing you might look into, at least for future reference, is http://www.webdav.org. Basically, WebDAV is Frontpage-equivilant and has been run through the IETF standards group.

Only problem with debsums is it does not follow diversion right now.

Re: UPS anyone?
Here's what I have so far concerning this confusing UPS issue (prices in Canadian dollars). Thanks to all who contributed. Please email again if you have more info to add. Peter --- `Best Power' general comments (http://www.bestpower.com) - manufacturer has `free' Linux software which may be packaged for Debian soon (All I have found in the source are lines like: CheckUPS II BASIC V3.23Copyright (c)1985-99 by Best Power, All Rights Reserved. They'll need to clarify this). Both the dumb and smart models listed below use the same software download, which supports both `basic' and `advanced' programs for dumb and smart UPS. - bpowerd Debian pacakge does not currently support the INT-0051 cable The info listed in the bpowerd package concerning the INT-0027 cable appears to be obsolete; I infer that Best Power now use the single INT-0051 cable for all OSes; I sent email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to confirm this cabling issue and have not had a reply. However the source code to the manufacturer's checkUPS program says: Enhancements V2.0: * Complete rewrite to support INT-0051 INT-0027 cable!!! So I guess either cable is fine. Best Power Patriot $219 + $52 for INT-0051 cable 285 W dumb mode Only model that looks like a big power bar instead of a UPS! Best Power Patriot Pro $363 (includes cable) 250 W smart mode See web site for other models. --- APC general comments (http://www.apcc.com/) - No manufacturer Linux software, but announced for Q3-99. - They have a Back-UPS line which appear to be dumb-mode only, and a more expensive Back-UPS Pro line (smart mode). - Kenneth Scharf [EMAIL PROTECTED] says the debian upsd package works quite well with their ups's in dumb mode. However he uses an older Back-ups 400 (not sold anymore) and I think he made his own cable (?). Do we have to make a cable to use upsd? - Brian White [EMAIL PROTECTED] has a Back-UPS Pro and it works with the genpower Debian package and the apc-pnp cable. He doesn't think the Back-UPS works with apcd (no smart signalling) or with standard genpower (different cable signals) but he says he could be wrong. APC Back-UPS BK500M $219 (Don't know if cable is included) 330 W dumb mode APC Back-UPS BK650M $335 (Don't know if cable is included) 400 W dumb mode - [EMAIL PROTECTED] can't get his Back-UPS 650 running under Debian apcd package (confirms what Brian White says). APC Back-UPS Pro 420 $397 260 W smart mode APC Smart-UPS 420$417 260 W smart mode See web site for other models. --- Unresolved issues: - Do APC Back-UPS 500 and 600 work with upsd? - Do APC Back-UPS 500 and 600 include a cable? - Do we have to make our own cable, or can we get one that works with upsd from APC? - Do we really want `smart' for $100 more with `Best Power'?

Re: UPS anyone?
APC general comments (http://www.apcc.com/) - Brian White [EMAIL PROTECTED] has a Back-UPS Pro and it works with the genpower Debian package and the apc-pnp cable. He doesn't think the Back-UPS works with apcd (no smart signalling) or with standard genpower (different cable signals) but he says he could be wrong. All models of APC from the Back-UPS Pro to the Matrix-UPS have the same interface and will work with the custom apc-advanced (which I designed) or the apc-pnp (standard cable from APC) cables. Both cables have the same dumb-signalling abilities but obviously the apc-pnp cable also supports the smart-signalling modes. One further note: The APC UPSs default to dumb-signalling on power-up but retain whatever state they were last put in until they are next power cycled. Thus, if you have a dual-boot system with windows and use the standard APC software, when you boot back to linux, genpower won't be able to talk dumb-signal to the UPS. If you write an R to the serial port it will go back to dumb-signalling, but my quick attempts to write a program to do such failed. I believe apcd require the older black smart-signalling cable to work, but could be wrong. APC units used to come with both cables, but newer ones may only come with the Plug'n'Play cable.

Install query: Selecting Computer Role?
I'm new to the world of Linux and am currently installing Debian 2.1 off CD. I was forced to reboot during install at the point where it asks what tasks/profile the computer is (Server machine, dialup, etc.). Does anyone know how to get this menu up again? I'm finding the option lists in dselect a bit overwhelming and that would be much simpler to start with.

Making a cable is no big deal, two connectors and two resistors (from any radio shack), and 4 wires. (Not hard if you know how to solder without burning yourself).

When updating an already installed wm the postinst scripts (usually) don't make the offer again, only when installing new. Actually, the simplest method to start a particular window manager is to name it in a command line, like startx wmaker the default debian /etc/X11/Xsession script checks this argument and, if the file exists and executable, will launch it.

Getting there
Hi, I am sitting here now on my Debian box listening to NetRadio having X11Amp ready, all in all, I have a new envoironemt to work in that in many ways is just as appealing as my Windows environment was, except for the fact that this one is much more stable and looks s much better than MS Windows does (thanks to WindowMaker!). And then I have to miss two essential tools: 1. A stable www browser. 2. A multi account email program. 1. Netscape doesn't even need many comments. It us unstable and full of bugs under Linux. It works, but it does crash, alot! Always has under Linux. And I do not want lynx! :) 2. Linux people tell me to use mutt or pine or elm or whatever, but I do not want that. I want something like Outlook Express, The Bat! or even Eudora. But there is no such thing! A combo consisting of XFmail, exim and fetchmail is the only solution that comes close to those Win MUA's in my opinion. Then there is email software connected to Gnome and KDE. I do not want that either. Is Linux going to become worse than Windows, because you will have to choose a desktop environment you do not really like because it comes with must have apps? I hope not Help me out here! :) I just find it strange that I am sitting here now with this wonderful multimedia capable, efficient and good looking desktop environment running a great Linux distro feeling I lack BASIC Internet software. I am ready for you guys being sarcastic and telling me how wonderful command line and ncurses are, how Windows sucks and how I should see the light I do not have time to start all over and do it the good 'ol way I rely on Debian/Linux for work. I just need those tools and hope to see them around soon! :) I also know I should contribute myself, but I can't, I am not a programmer. I want to pay for software I like to use.
