Hola chicos. Muy genial el sistema de Bugs de Debian. Hoy acabo de recibir mi primera respuesta sobre un bug. Tardó meses (creo que 2), pero me han enviado un mensaje personal confirmando la solución del error y me han dicho donde puedo bajarme el paquete. Muy potito. -- Saudos: ose[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Vigo/Galicia/España) http://pagina.de/xmanoel/ http://w3.to/mikkeli/ 06/22 Todd Rundgren is born in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, 1948
[continuacion] Reloj del sistema en Slink
Hola chicos. Bueno, el kernel parece funcionar bastante bien, de momento la hora de mi sistema parece estar más o menos en punto, y no hay variaciones extrañas como me pasaba hasta ahora. Ya me parecía raro que el kernel hiciese cosas raras, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que sigo usando el mismo Kernel que cuando tenía instalado Hamm. La culpa debe de ser atribuida a el `hwclock'. El nuevo script te configuración de `hwclock' incluye los siguientes comandos: (mirar el script /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh) Al arrancar hwclock --adjust $GMT hwclock --hctosys $GMT Al salir hwclock --systohc $GMT Una pequeña explicación a los comandos. hwclock --hctosys Este lo que hace es leer el valor del reloj de la CMOS y se lo asigna a nuestro sistema. hwclock --systohc Pues hace al reves, guarda en el CMOS la hora que esté marcando el sistema. Esta última opción es bastante peligrosilla. Si por alguna razón nuestra hora del sistema ha cambiado, pues cambiará la CMOS. Muchos creo que os apetecerá desactivar esta opción. Teóricamente la hora del sistema tiene que ser la correcta y coincidente con la CMOS, pero a muchos nos gusta tener la hora de la CMOS fija y que nadie la toque. Pero bueno, la parte más peligrosa es la primera de todas: hwclock --adjust Esta opción lo que hace es intentar mantener a hora la CMOS. El reloj de la CMOS no es muy bueno (según dicen). Va acumulando retrasos de manera periódica (ya sabeis, esto de que cada hora va atrasando x milisegundos). Bueno, pues el programa intenta pasarse de listo y sabiendo que retrasa tanto tiempo, pues añado X milisegundos a la hora y ahora todo va perfecto. Para esta cosa tan sofisticada, pues crea un fichero llamado /etc/adjtime. Cada vez que ejecutais un hwclock --set pues se actualiza este fichero y se compara la hora del CMOS con la hora real (suponiendo, que ya es mucho suponer, que la hora que tiene ahora tu sistema es correcta de verdad). Esta diferencia será usada por el hwclock cuando ejecutes el comando `hwclock --adjust'. La hora del sistema no se fija con el `hwclock'. Se usa el ya clásico `date' o el `adjtimex'. Bueno, esta opción que suena tan ciripitiflautica, pues a mi me parece poco convincente. Porque dudo que sea capaz de tener el sistema en hora exacta (no se si con un time server). Bueno, pues yo tambien la he desactivado hasta nueva orden.

Squid 2.1.2 y usuarios
Quiero actualizar un squid 1.1.21 (debian 2.0) a squid 2.1.2 (debian 2.1). Tengo un pequeño problema. Antes tenía un fichero de usuarios (/etc/squid.auth) generado con htpasswd. Así los usuarios accedían o no según tenían pasword. El problema es que no encuentro cómo hacerlo con squid 2.1.2. Dice que debo usar esta línea: authenticate_program /usr/bin/htpasswd /etc/squid.auth Pero eso no funciona. Puede alguien ayudarme. Gracias. __ Eladio A.

instalar debian en 15 ordenadores
Se puede instalar la Debian 2.0/2.1 teniendo este en un servidor Novell? o si no como instalo el Linux en 15 ordenadores? Solo uno de ellos tiene cd-rom y estan conectados en red, hay tambien un servidor NT 4.0 y los demas tienen widows 95 una ayudita gracias
apt y timezones
Hola a todos... Estoy probando por primera vez el apt. Hago apt-get update, y me recoge una serie de ficheros, pero cuando termina, me da un error relativo a timezone. He utilizado http y ftp con los mismos resultados. Dado que los ficheros packages, los recoge, supongo que no sera de configuracion. Saludos.
Actualizar a libc6 2.1.
Hola, he compilado el kernel 2.2.9, instalado, y después me he leído el `../kernel-source-2.2.9/Documentation/Changes', O:-) He bajado los paquetes que necesito actualizar, y aparecen dependencias para libc6 2.1, entre otros. ¿Puedo actualizar libc6 con `dpkg -i' y ya está? Lo digo por si algún programa de Hamm me va ha dejar de funcionar... Ple-A-se! Por cierto, he activado las opciones de Framebuffer, pero el pingüino sigue bajo el agua, aunque con `vga=ask' puedo seleccionar 80x34. Y el sevidor X para framebuffer no rula. Hago `startx' (he modificado el `/etc/X11/Xserver') y hay se queda, pero con `ps' veo que ha landado las Xwindow (xterm, xclock, etc.). Ya cree los `/dev/fb*', pero nada. He bajado el fbset 2.0.1, que no tengo instalado. ¿Es por eso? (pues también pide libc6 2.1...)

Eso seria suficiente. En el resto de los equipos solo tendrias que instalar el sistema base desde disquette (unod 4 o 5 discos creo) y terminar de instalar el sistema a traves de nfs. Otra posibilidad es utilizar el sistema de actualizacion de paquetes por ftp de dselect, pero no estoy muy seguro de como hacerlo. Hasta mas bits, P.D.

apt-cdrom de Citius Slink
Buenas, He actualizado mi Debian a Citius Slink pero en dselect no me aparece el apt-cdrom. Tengo todas las demas opciones y tb. el multiple-cd o multiple-cdrom, el cual no se si es el apt-cdrom ese pero con otro nombre. Me he olvidado de instalar algun paquete o simplemente la Citius no tiene ningun apt-cdrom. Gracias Iniaki

En uno de ellos partí de cero y en las opciones de dselect me aparece aptcdrom. Sin embargo, en otro actualicé de hamm a slink y me pasaba lo mismo que a tí. Ni idea de porqué (nos faltará algun paquete?). De todos modos, ejecutando fuera de dselect un apt-cdrom se crea correctamente el sources.list y luego, dentro del dselect y escogiendo como método apt todo va ok. Un saludo, Jon

Además, parece no conocer muy bien los entresijos del funcionamiento del reloj en el kernel de Linux, ya que si no, sabría que la hora en Linux/Intel se puede mantener con un error de algunos microsegundos, típicamente. Por otro lado, la fuente de hora que yo tengo me da esa precisión en casa, así que no tengo por que hacer caso de la hora que marque la bios (salvo desde que apago el ordenador, hasta que lo vuelvo a encender, por lo que la escribo en la BIOS cada vez que se apaga el sistema) La verdad es que la precision de la hora en mi sistema no es algo que me preocupe mucho pero intentaré mejorarlo.

emacs sgml
Hola a todos Curioseando con sgml (ya era hora que me pusiera desde hace casi dos años) he instalado varios paquetes referentes al tema, pero al llegar al psgml (An Emacs major mode for editing SGML documents.) resulta que el dselect me pide el emacs 19 o 20. Tengo instalada el xemacs20, por lo que me ha sorprendido que no le bastara con eso. Por probar, decidí instalar el emacs20, pero dió un error al configurarlo y al final lo borré. La pregunta del millón ¿por qué demonios no le vale con el xemacs? Desde luego no me haría gracia instalar los 20MB que ocupa el emacs sólo por lo del sgml. ¿merece la pena? ¿algún editor bueno de sgml? Otra cosa.

Se bem me lembro é política do Debian não setar o reply-to.
Segundo o listmaster, não é a maneira correta de se fazer, pq

verdade existe um header followup-to ou coisa parecida que é

Re: SB Live Linux drivers?? Creative DVD??
I have a SoundBlaster Live! value as well. The drivers are compiled for 2.2.5, but I used 'insmod -f sblive.o' to force them to load, and they loaded fine. Of course there is nothing to adjust Enviromental Audio, etc, but better than nothing. Creative is just terrible with drivers. The no source code doesn't bother me too much, but if they would only support *all* their hardware. I would love to get DVD's too work. I have managed to play VCD's using the binary shareware player called mtv from mpegtv, but that only plays audio for 60 seconds. Quality is good, has full-screen capability, but you gotta pay. I would LOVE to get DVD to work under Linux, if you no of anyway of getting them to work, please let me KNOW!! J.W. Jones wrote: Hello all, I have been looking around recently for SoundBlaster Live! drivers for Linux.

Experimental drivers would be fine by me, but it's getting stinky to have to boot windoze just to futz with my mp3s, and Creative is notoriously slow about updating their drivers (waited 6 months for the new EVA 2.0 for windoze, meanwhile 98 crashed even more than usual. *sarcasm* windoze crashing, nah, I must just have been hallucinating, that never happens, Microsoft makes the best, fastest software on earth, all that nice slim code, superior memory management, It's all that! *end sarcasm* Bill Gates should be shot.

mgetty+sendfax
Hi, I want to fax with my debian 2.1 system. Everything went well, fax queued successfully, bla, bla, bla. But then I've got the following message. Warning: faxrunq hasn't been run in the last 24 hours. How can I run faxrunq. I think when I fixed this problem I can fax with my Linux system. But how can I solve this problem, does anybody know. Thanx HTH Cuno
smail: either wait or run runq manually
I upgraded libc6_2.1, libwraster1, xlib6g from potato so I could upgrade to wmaker_0.60. While I was at it I upgraded gnome to the latest in potato. After that, I ran fetchmail, then tried to get my mail using Netscape. Netscape told me I didn't have any new messages. After 5 or 10 minutes, the mail appeared. I didn't have this problem prior to the upgrade. I can get my mail right away if I run runq, so I think the problem is that smail is queing the mail instead of running in foreground, but I can't find where the delivery_modes is set. I looked at the /etc/smail/config file but didn't see it there. Tried adding it but that didn't help. Looked at /etc/smail/crontab, I don't want to screw with queing. Hmmm. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

[THANKS} Re: RealPlayer G2 for Linux -- where to get?
I would like to thank everyone for their help here... I've been trying to find this file for a while (as I do not have a permanent internet connection and would have to download the file before I ran the installer). The URL given by AG has been very helpful, and I've finally got the file. I would recommend that instead of people sending emails to those of us who cannot find these things which go along the idea of just install the installer, it'll tell you! that they actually bother to just say thr URL. This would have stopped this thread (possibly) a long time ago, instead of wasting bandwidth. For those who missed the URL the first time (mailing lists can be a little slow sometimes filtering through to people...), it's listed below, along with a little warning (hey, no-one bothered to mention to me before this person that r-player g2 was alpha!). Again, thanx for the information, Peter Ludwig BTW - I can RTFM as some people have suggested... why do you think I asked for extra information?

Unsupported Cards (was Re: X-Server for AGP-7410 )
Just thought I'd let people know that if your card is unsupported, (or if you have trouble with Redhats XBF...) then I have found that compiling frame buffer support into 2.2.x kernels and using vserver-fbdev_foo.deb works well for me (unnacelerated of course, but I just wanted to get a motherboard with a built in video card to work). Check out the VesaFB mini HOWTO and make sure you remember to put the following in XF86Config Section Screen Driver FBDev Device Primary Card Monitor Primary Monitor SubSection Display Modes default Depth 32 --- Important EndSubSection EndSection This may be slower on older machines (but then you wouldn't have a new card).

switched ppp to ethernet and lost web connectivity (again)
(let me try that again) I am having problems converting my Debian box from ppp dial-up web access to access via a windows proxy (Winproxy 2.1) on ethernet. The Linux box is Debian v2.0 with kernel 2.0.34 running the consoles, no X windows. The ethernet hardware is all Linksys 10baseT, and uses the NE2000 drivers on debian, with Int 3 and address 300. 90.0.0.1 is the proxy DNS and the Debian box is at 90.0.0.3 PnP was disabled on the ether card for the Debian box. I can't get BitchX IRC V74p4+Deb1an to connect on the ether proxy, nor Lnyx V2.8rel2. When I use ftp and the proxy command, I can see a connection to the ftp site in the proxy log. (I know nothing about linux ftp via proxy either, so that is as far as I get) After working through the NET-3 HOWTO, the Ethernet HOWTO and various usenets the debian list archives, I am beginning to wonder if lynx and BitchX are just not capable of making the connection without some kind of SOCKS client. To date, I have re-installed the debian system, and changed the PPP connection to ethernet. I'm new to LANs, but this part seems to be fine. Any of the 3 boxes can can ping any other computer on the LAN, and pinging a host on the web by name returns the numeric IP, indicating that DNS works. The proxy log never indicates any attempt to connect by the Linux browswer or IRC clients, but the hub does show activity on its LEDs. The other Win machine on the LAN works fine, but of course the proxy came with detailed config instructions for Win. I've tried the various testing and troubleshooting hints in the 2 HOWTOs and they seem to check out fine. I hope someone can give me a direction to go - is it lynx and BitchX that are incapable of working without a SOCKS client, or should I go deeper into the ethernet setup?

I thought everything was just find. Then tonight, when I tried to use the man ircii, I get the same type of error message. I used deselect to uninstall ircii and then re-install it, but the same error message appears. I uninstalled it again using dselect, and then downloaded the ircii .deb package from ftp.debian.org and tried to install it again using dpkg -i ircii_4.4.3.deb, but the same error appears. When I try to remove ircii, I get another error. The error output is attached below. I have a debian slink system.

Re: Flushing the slink question cache
On Tue, 22 Jun 1999, Enrico Zini wrote: Hello! I've come up with a bunch of practical questions around the Debian Slink distribution: Well, i'll answer the ones i can figure out... 1) There isn't a group 'shutdown' to whom add people allowed to shutdown, while I often find a need for it in many environments: is there another way (i.e. The Debian Right Way) to do it? Well, anyone who has access to the console can shutdown with the Ctrl-Alt-Del, if you add their names to /etc/shutdown.allow (or possibly anyone, depends if shutdown has the -a option in inittab) If you wanted to make a shutdown group, i guess you _could_ chmod the shutdown binary to 550, owned by root.shutdown, and make it suid root? Not sure of the security implications here, though. 3) make-kpkg rebuilds all of the kernel after every single change: if I just compiled a kernel and wanted to add, say, a module, everything gets recompiled instead of just the few required files: is there a clean way to allow this? Can I just set do_clean := NO in debian/rules? Looks like do_clean := NO will do it for you. 6) SSH came with unencrypted communcation disabled at compile time; I run a network in a secure environment and want to use ssh for its cryptographical authentication, but allow it to operate unencrypted when connecting to local hosts, since there's no risk of network snooping and I want to avoid unnecessary computation. Couldn't the option be disallowed by default in a system wide configuration file instead of compile time? This isn't an important issue, however, because one can suppose that if I'm smart enough to tell when an environment is secure, then I'm smart enough to download the source package and recompile it. I just wanted to point it out. Couldn't you just plain telnet if the connection is secure? 8) I've never been able to use the multi_cd access method of dselect: I always happen to see only the contents of the first cd, while with apt I need every cd mounted to see them both. For the former, I know it's my fault, for the latter I understood I have to wait for potato to be able to use apt with multiple cd: am I right? And for multi_cd, what's the right way of operation? I have never been asked for the second CD. You don't have to wait for potato, i hear netgod has slink-ized debs of the latest apt. As for using CDs, i can't help because i've done everything over the net, even the initial install... 10) Debian is a beautiful thing. I agree, although that's technically not a question... ;)
SOLUTION: can't get ircii to run
Well everyone, I'm embarrassed. I just figured out my problem. When ircii is installed it will run under the following command: % irc also the man irc and man ircII work also. I just made a sim link for ircii to irc. Simple! Sorry everyone. I should have tinkered a little bit more.

Re: Install questions etc
On Tue, Jun 22, 1999 at 04:06:02AM -0500, Joakim Svensson wrote This message was sent from Geocrawler.com by Joakim Svensson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi debian users, I am a very new user of Linux. I do have some 10+ year users experience with different unixes though so It feels pretty good. I am awaiting a new high spec pc and while waiting I picked up an old used P75 with 32M and 1G hd. Without almost any knowledge about the hardware (used borrowed 14 monitor) I installed slink and slack 4.0 without any real problems. I installed slink from a cd set and it worked pretty well. So now I have some things I do wonder about. First. On my new system I plan to set up a pretty much complete slink and I also will setup a potato wich I would like to have very configured. Slink will be no problems I think but I could need some advice on what tactics to use when installing potato. I want to have a system (potato) that ofcourse have all the basic stuff but I don't want to have 10 different text editors (if I can avoid it) I really don't want emacs (sorry all emacs users, vi rules *smile*) I don't want all the games etc etc. So how will I acomplish this ? Should I install some very very basic task or profile and then add on using ftp ? Should I install a somewhat more complete system and then remove things I don't need and build from that ? Any other ideas ? Also could anyone update me on the use of dselect versus apt and dpkg ? I think I read something like Is anyone really using dselect anymore? a while ago and would really like to know the current usability. I haven't installed Potato myself, but I'll assume that it's not entirely unlike slink (as seems to be the case from your message). I always select the 'basic' system profile, and then use dselect to add the extra packages I want. There's no problem doing this that I can see; choosing a profile simply pre-selects a bunch of packages, that you can then fine-tune using dselect. Dselect is just a front end for dpkg, and has the virtue of listing *everything* available for installation. It's not fast and it's not particularly pretty, but a new user who reads the help should make it out alive. It has the great advantage of ensuring that dependencies will be met. It can *only* be used with suites of packages that are accessible through one of dselect's access methods, and you can only use one access method at a time. The speed with which dselect does the back-end work has a lot to do with the access method you use - multi-cd and apt seem to be the best. Apt is really cute and is what I'd use every time for installing regular packages. It's very flexible in terms of where packages come from and handles dependencies well, but you do have to set it up (not exactly difficult), and it relies on the package management system working correctly (e.g., if you have unmet dependencies you have to use '-f' or fix things with dpkg first). Underneath it all, it is still just a front end to dpkg. Apt is what I'd normally use to add or remove 'regular' packages on an existing system. Dpkg does all the work whatever front end you use, and may be required to fix dependency problems. If you've downloaded or built a single .deb, dpkg -i some*.deb is quick and easy, and won't louse up other stuff for you. In summary, I'd use dselect when first installing the system, apt for regular maintenance, and dpkg for when I can't be bothered configuring and running apt to install or remove a single package.

3C905B 10/100 card falls back to 10MB
Hi My job is networks and I can give you a major piece of advice, autonegotiation sucks ! You can run into all sorts of problems especially if both end of a link try and autonegotiate. I would ask your network manager to hard set the port on the switch you are connecting to to 100Mb full duplex and that should fix the problem (I am running Debian Potato on a laptop with an autonegotiating card set to auto and it works fine like this also RedHat 6.0 with a 3c509 set to auto and its fine). If you can't persuade the network manager to make the change the hard set your card tp 100Mb using the utils that come with the card. Pat Bill Von Elm writes: Hello All, I recently had to move a system from a 10MB ethernet segment to a 100MB segment. I edited /etc/init.d/network to re-assign the IP parameters and that worked just fine, but I can't seem to get the card (a 3Com 3c905B 10/100) to run at 100MB. During system boot-up the 100MB LED on the card is lit, but as soon as the filesystems are mounted the 100MB LED goes out and the 10MB LED comes on. Everything else works OK except the speed is wrong. I'm running the Debian 2.1 distribution and the 2.0.36 kernel. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to look at here- ifconfig does not address the speed of the interface and I can't find anything that looks like it might (I thought this speed negotiation stuff was done in hardware). If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd sure appreciate it!

SV: Getting there
Hi C.D. Let's try to keep Debian/Linux free. It's probably an illusion to keep it that way, but I think it's worth trying. I'm a Debian newbie, and I switched to Linux for exactly the same reasons; I was tired of breakdowns, sick of seeing Microsoft. document every time I looked at a file-heading, and exasperated with not being able to remove IE from my system (f.ex.). I think a part of the point with Linux is that you can build exactly the right system for your needs, which of course also makes it harder to install, but I think it's an advantage in the long run. On the other hand; I think you're (at least in part) right. The future for Linux must be somewhere between getting a lot more userfriendly, so that people like your girlfriend (and mine too...) will be able to install and use it, and still facilitating all the tweaking that's going on (just look at this list!). This is why: to enable it to spread and become popular among every-day-users, Linux will _need_ more userfriendliness, (idiot-safe-ness, we call it in Denmark), and to develop and grow and become better, faster, easier, it needs the tweaking and all the nerds and programmers and that sort of folks, who are making things work. Why not have several (f.ex.) mail-systems? There could be idiot-proof, userfriendly systems, and tweaky, sophisticated ones, to suit every persons need. My girlfriend could be running a supersafe (but slower) system and not see a line of code or a conf in her life, and I could be sitting there tweaking and programming and running bleeding-edge potato... Wish I knew how to program...

dselect and contrib/non-free - DWN-6/22
Wichert Akkerman has proposed splitting non-free and contrib out to a new server, nonfree.debian.org. The impetus for this is to emphasize that they are not part of Debian, since the distinction isn't as visible as it used to be; advances in searching in the distribution and tools like apt make it very hard to see when something is in main and when not. The proposal will come up for a vote soon and is generating lots of discussion. One thing that might help is if dselect does not sort purely alphabetical when sorting by section. contrib/* should not be between comm and devel, but rather be apart from main. Same thing for non-free. Just another thought, Hugo van der Merwe
Problem with Netscape dependencies in .deb packages
Greetings, I have a problem getting Netscape off the ftp.debian.org site. I'm using dselect and have both stable and unstable distributions as sources. Basically, all Netscape stuff depends on netscape-base-4, but there is no such thing (as dselect is so nice to point out). There is netscape-base-4_5, netscape-base-407 and the like, but the dependencies seems to have been written for -base-4 and that's what dselect wants. The end result is that I can't get any version of Netscape downloaded and/or installed. Is this a bug, a feature, or I don't have a clue?

The ethernet hardware is all Linksys 10baseT, and uses the NE2000 drivers on debian, with Int 3 and address 300. 90.0.0.1 is the proxy DNS and the Debian box is at 90.0.0.3 PnP was disabled on the ether card for the Debian box. I can't get BitchX IRC V74p4+Deb1an to connect on the ether proxy, nor Lnyx V2.8rel2. When I use ftp and the proxy command, I can see a connection to the ftp site in the proxy log. (I know nothing about linux ftp via proxy either, so that is as far as I get) After working through the NET-3 HOWTO, the Ethernet HOWTO and various usenets the debian list archives, I am beginning to wonder if lynx and BitchX are just not capable of making the connection without some kind of SOCKS client. To date, I have re-installed the debian system, and changed the PPP connection to ethernet. I'm new to LANs, but this part seems to be fine. Any of the 3 boxes can can ping any other computer on the LAN, and pinging a host on the web by name returns the numeric IP, indicating that DNS works. The proxy log never indicates any attempt to connect by the Linux browswer or IRC clients, but the hub does show activity on its LEDs. The other Win machine on the LAN works fine, but of course the proxy came with detailed config instructions for Win. I've tried the various testing and troubleshooting hints in the 2 HOWTOs and they seem to check out fine. I hope someone can give me a direction to go - is it lynx and BitchX that are incapable of working without a SOCKS client, or should I go deeper into the ethernet setup?

This is more a function of the Linux kernel than a distribution per se. I can't think of any exceptions. Since Linux folks generally rebuild their kernels at some point, it's not generally really important what the distributed kernels support. That having been said, what's supported on the install diskette set does vary between distributions and versions of distributions, which can be very important: if your installation kernel doesn't support that SCSI controller that your CD drive hangs off of, you've got finagling to do to use that CD-ROM set in your install. You haven't lived until you've had to download the whole kernel source over a modem line so you can build a kernel so you can load every else off of your CD-ROM. It would be kind of nice if Debian documented what devices their *install* kernels support, and even provided more install sets. (Correct me if I'm wrong and they do this somewhere).
