Sobre fiestorro Benaguasil
Buenas. Ante todo perdonadme el trainspoting, sobretodo después de cómo tenemos todos los ánimos después de las últimas sesiones spammeras que estamos teniendo en la lista. Hoy es el último día para apuntarse a la Benaguasil Linux Party, y creo que me voy a apuntar. Soy de Terrassa, Barcelona, así que si alguien se anima a venir conmigo que por favor me lo haga saber llamándome antes de las 13'30h a cualquiera de los siguientes teléfonos: 609-15.63.77 93-590.28.10 (preguntar por Manuel Trujillo -es el curro-).

Estimados compañeros linuxeros. Hace tan solo un par de meses que tengo instalado Debian. Creo que tiene muchas posibilidades como vosotros seguro sabeis, a pesar de no contar con paquetes bien acabados desde el punto de vista visual. En concreto me refiero a Emacs y en general a procesadores de texto y hojas de cálculo que es lo que más uso. Lo que me preocupa ahora es que quiero imprimir con una Fujitsu DL900 (matricial de 24 agujas que emula IBM proprinter XL24 y Epson LQ2500) y sé cómo hacerlo para texto ASCII pero no para archivos PostScript, dvi, etc. Tengo entendido que hay un Magicfilter, el programa GhostScript, tanto gráfico como en modo texto, y otros, pero no sé cómo aplicarlos. Si me responde alguien me gustaría que lo hiciera de manera muy clara y sin presuponer conocimientos de estas cosas pues os recuerdo que soy de este mundo desde hace dos meses. Gracias anticipadas y un cordial saludo. Diego Bote

Yo tengo una Fujitsu DL1100 Color (24 agujas) y lo que se ha de hacer es
ejecutar: 'magicfilterconfig' y cuando te pregunte el nombre del filtro a
usar indicarle 'epsonlqc-filter' ('epsonlq-filter' para la no color), así de
fácil. El script de configuración te preguntará más cosillas tipo tamaño del
papel etc, ya lo verás es muy muy fácil.
Con esto ya podrás imprimir postcript y más cosas sin problemas.

Una cosa tan basica como es la aplicacion de los derechos de licencia deberían ser tan claros como para que las distintas opiniones que estoy escuchando coincidieran un poco más. La licencia de Debian especifica que solo los trabajos independientes y separados por si mismos pueden evitar que los terminos de la licencia GPL le sean aplicados. Ademas insiste mucho en el derecho a la informacion del usuario para que siempre conozca y pueda usar del derecho a redistribuir bajo GPL. Por lo tanto algunas modificaciones pretendidamente propietarias podrían no serlo por no atenerse a estos requisitos. Además has de tener cuidado de no hacer mal uso de alguna marca registrada (si Datom es marca registrada, y los CDs de Datom muestran mensajes de presentación con esa marca, no puedes hacer uso de esos mensajes en tus CDs, o estarían haciendo un uso no autorizado de la marca). En esto puedes tener razon. No se me había ocurrido pero creo que mencionar una marca aclarando que es propiedad de la compañia tal no puede jamas ser uso indebido. Me parece más incorrecto vender CD's de Datom sin decir que son de Datom que lo contrario. Decir que son de Datom jamas puede considerarse mal uso.

CD-RW woes. Again.
I've been fiddling with my kernel configuration and I've tried every combination I can think of, and still I can't recreate my previous setup (before I `rm -rf /var/cache/ *'d my way into a blank hard disk). What I want is for /dev/hdc to remain an ATAPI controlled CD-ROM drive - so that cdparanoia and cdplay work on it - and for /dev/hdd (HP8100i CD-RW) to become /dev/scd0 or something and be accessible through ide-scsi. Currently, I've got all the IDE block drivers (disk, CDROM and floppy), all the relevant SCSI drivers and the ide-scsi emulation layer compiled straight into the kernel, and no matter what, the kernel refuses to use ide-scsi for /dev/hdd. If I make the IDE CDROM driver a module, the ide-scsi driver takes over and both CDROM drives are only accessible as ide-scsi (not what I want). My lilo configuration has an `append=/dev/hdd=ide-scsi' line (it has been /dev/hdd=none and this makes no difference) and this previously made everything work. Yes, I have tried typing the line in at boot up. I've tried to fix this myself for the last couple of weeks, and I'm on the verge of giving up. Has anyone any idea how to get it working?

Re: LILO version problem
Well, I'm back from last week. I had a version discrepancy with LILO. I still have not solved it. The exact error message that I get if I try to run LILO from the command line is: First boot sector is version 18. Expecting version 20. If I use the debian rescue disk and try the option there for making a hard disk bootable, it tells me: LILO wasn't able to install and then suggests it might be the more than 1023 cylinders explanation which isn't the case. In addition to what I tried previously, described below, I also tried booting to a DOS diskette and running fdisk /mbr thinking that maybe that would eliminate the old version of LILO but I still get just the same error messages. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Exim vs. Win95
I've just reloaded my gateway machine with Debian 2.1. It was formerly Debian 1.3, so the MTA has changed from smail to exim. Exim refuses to accept mail from a Windows 95 system connected to the gateway. There are two Windows 95 systems connected to the gateway. System 1 can send mail with no problem; System 2 can't. Both systems are configured identically as far as I can tell. Both could send mail before the change. There's no mention of either system in the gateway's /etc/exim.conf. It's possible that bind isn't set up right, but it is at least set up to treat each of the two systems the same way. Something's apparently different somewhere, though.

Re: network problem?
All VLAN stuff on switches makes use of oversize frames (or giants) as well. Basically they TAG the VLAN identifier and such like to a standard ethernet frame thus if the frame is already 1500 bytes long it becomes technically an illegal size. So if you have some switches with VLANs you may see oversize frames on the LAN but they should only be interswitch communication. Pat

For that matter Microsoft could choose to use the Linux kernel and still have the same 'distribution' as they have now. Well, in my view, that would be a Linux distribution. (Also not being an expert). It wouldn't be a GNU/Linux distribution, though. Let's not go on that jihad here, though. ;-) At one time, Tom Christiansen was talking about doing a distribution that was a Linux kernel with BSD tools, rather than GNU. IIRC, he called it a Linux distribution. (I think he was just doing it to irritate the FSF. Is it still an extant project?) If the Amiga folks are not going to use any of the GNU tools, or dpkg/apt especially, that would be a perverse decision. In fact, not making it based on/compatible with m68k Debian would be perverse, seems to me. -- ... if the problem persists ... get a 3.5 ft ... length of sucker rod and have a chat with the user in question. -- Linux System Administration, SYSLOGD (8), page 7 (Dealing with DOS attacks exploiting SYSLOGD)
Still PPP problems
Hello there. I still have some PPP problems (the same :( ). I killed diald, for it did not allow ppd to connect correctly. Now i don't have that weird defaultroute to sl0 in my routing table. I have ppp0 as defaultroute and it is pointing to the remote ip. Still I can ping the remote ip, but I can't do anything else. I tried to ping the name servers, nothing. Then as I diald the same ISP with the same configuration under Win, everything forks fine. Anyone has any ideas what did I wrong?

To print a fax: efix -ops -r600 -s1 letter.001 | lpr -Pprint_queue_name I use r600 because my laser printer is capable of this resolution. YMMV. you could probably save some toner using 300dpi resolution - fax tiffg3 has something like 96dpi in normal and 192dpi in fine resolution.

Dumbterminal problem
I've constructed a network in my home (ya I'm a geek) and just recently hooked up a dumb terminal to the router. I'm having an odd problem though. I can list dirs and things just fine from the router to the dumbterminal. When I go to through the router to the net, though, the data comes back and starts getting jarbled on the screen. I think the problem is because the modem is running at 115200 and the dumbterminal is running at 38400, but I'm not really sure. Is there a way to setup flow control so it will slow down the speed so that the dumbterminal can keep up?

My second install was hamm for a friend, it was about 4-5 hours because he had some tricky hw gadgets. (No net, X, important development stuff.) Most recently (last december) I installed hamm for myself. It lasted for 5 hours, because I made some wrong decision concerning hw settings.

I finally decided to try potato because I wanted an easy way of getting the latest postgresql (6.5)... I was running slink and used dselect to upgrade. The biggest problem it seemed to find was a change in perl (DB1.85 - DB2). It said something about using perl-5.004 to dump the DB1.85 databases and then reload perl5.005 or use db_dump185(1) and db_load(1) in libc6... What is this talking about? I only have perl loaded on my system because some other package required it. I am not sure what databases this is talking about. Any ideas?

I believe that the -diff contains the modifications made by the Debian maintainers to make it fit easily into Debian, as diff(1) output. If you want to see the code used to make the actual debian package, untar the orig, and then use patch(1) to apply the diff.
