Si te refieres a la posición en la que aparecen los iconos puedes
cambiarla a través de WPrefs o con IconPosition (blh, para lo que
quieres).

Si es el clip, puedes arrastrarlo con el ratón.

Si es el dock, sólo puedes cambiarlo de derecha a izquierda (hasta
donde yo sé, al menos), de modo que no podrías hacerlo horizontal.


La última versión es la 0.60.0-4.

Las imágenes en Internet se transmiten codificadas en forma de texto.

(Si solo haces un telnet a un equipo remoto, al cortar el telnet se te corta
la conexion en 10 segundos de inactividad -es un ejemplo-. Si has enviado

- Tiene en cuenta tiempos de tarificacion mínima. Telefónica siempre te cobra

si cortas en el segundo 100 te cobran lo mismo que en el 150, luego, esperas
hasta el 160, que vale lo mismo).

Si alguien lo quiere, le envío mi configuración de diald.

Estoy pendiente de tener un rato para ampliar el diald mini howto que una

 Hoal Antonio, gracias por responderme pero:
Por cherto, te respondo por la lista, aunque el mensaje me llegó a
mi correo personal. Creo que querías responder por la lista, a mí me pasa
mucho que quiero responder por la lista, pero como tenemos un software de
lista tan raro (ni en el campo From: ni en el SendTo:, sale la lista, sino
la persona, por lo que a la hora de filtrar (uso el Outlook, que filtrando
es un grimo) y responder es algo rollo, ya que tienes que hacer un
Responder a todos o responder a cc:, que es donde suele salir la dirección
de la lista). 

Ya que estoy: ¿Alguien que use el outlook por ahí es capaz de
filtrar bien los mensajes de la lista?

 En el directorio /dev tiene que haber un fichero llamado MAKEDEV.
 Ejecuta, como root
 MAKEDEV audio
 Estabas en lo cierto, ya tengo /dev/dsp.
:), felicipeich, hombre ;D

 Tras lo cual deberías poder ver el dispositivo /dev/dsp (saca un ls
 /dev/dsp y a ver qué te dice).
 Si haces
 cat mifichero.wav  /dev/dsp
 donde mifichero.wav es un .wav o un .au que tengas por ahí, debería
 oirse por la tarjeta el sonido.
 
 Sí algo se escuchar pero muy distorsionado, 
Bueno, sip, a mí también, creo que es cosa de la prioridad del
proceso cat.
De todas maneras, no me dedico a escuchar música a base de cats ;D.
Puedes probar el mpg123 para reproducir mp3s (¿alguien le ha encontrado otra
utilidad al X11amp distinta de generador de cores? ;D). A mí, el mpg123, si
lo lanzo normalmente, se me entrecorta cuando uso el netscape, pero es por
cuestiones de prioridad de tareas. Si lo ejecutas con alta prioridad (man
nice), ya va bien y no se entrecorta.

 además en Gnome 1.0 se escucha
 un extraño chisporroteo.
Eso puede ser por el mixer, que tengas saturada la salida (ejecuta
el mixer del Gnome y mira los volúmenes de amplificación de la salida). O si
no, podría ser por lo que te he comentado sobre la prioridad de ejecución de
los programas.

??Bugs en Netscape desde hace mil versiones y los mismos!!

1999-09-08 Thread dfm

Ya empiezo a dudar que sea problema del Netscape, porque siempre pasa lo
mismo en todas las versiones de Netscape que han pasado por mi máquina...

Por favor agradecería confirmación de otra gente y si es solo problema mío
a ver si alguien me puede ayudar a solucionarlo por favor, os cuento...

Cuando abro una página con formularios, en la cual hay campos de todo tipo,
por ejemplo uno de ellos es un campo de selección entre varias opciones, y
otro es un campo de texto, donde se escribe a mano, si por ejemplo
despliego el campo de selecciones para seleccionar una opción entre varias
(por ejemplo para indicar tu año de nacimiento, que sale un menu
desplegable con un montón de fechas, o para seleccionar un pais de origen),
el netscape ya no me deja escribir en el campo de texto, pasa en TODOS los
formularios a los que he accedido, en todas las versiones de Netscape para
Linux que he usado, y por ejemplo si hay dos campos de selección de opción
(si pinchas en el campo sale un punto negro redondo) y a la derecha dos
campos de texto, depende del campo de opción que pinches podrás escribir en
teoría en uno de los campos de texto (así está hecho el formulario donde he
probado eso), pues bien, da igual la opción que escojas porque no puedes
escribir en ninguno de los dos campos de texto.

Ejemplos:

Para el bug de selección de Fecha o país entre una lista en un menú, eso os
lo podeis encontrar en cualquier página, pero en la que recuerdo que me ha
pasado  porque accedo muy a menudo es en la página de la www.sblive.com
cuando voy a bajarme drivers y sale un formulario para que indique mis
datos.

Para el segundo error en formularios que os he dicho, podeis comprobarlo en
la página de CajaMadrid en la página para hacer login en el apartado de
Banca Electrónica.

Bueno, a ver si en Netscape solucionan esto o me decís que me puede estar
pasando si realmente ese bug no existe.

Un saludo

Daniel

PD: Estos mismos formularios los he probado con otras plataformas y no me
ha ocurrido nunca.



Consulta glibc

1999-09-08 Thread vieiro


Hola a todos,

Resulta que tengo una cuestión sobre Debian
y me he decidido a preguntarosla sin haberme
subscrito a la lista. Espero que me perdonéis
pero no tengo el acceso a Internet que yo quisiera
y no puedo subscribirme porque tengo una
conexión algo lenta.

Resulta que tengo un Debian 2.1r2 (pero no lo
tengo aquí!, estoy desplazado a 600 Km. de
mi casa!) y necesito obtener una nueva 
versión de glibc para que me funcione 
el JDK 1.2 pre v2 que me han pasado. Me gustaría
obtener el paquete por Internet (por lento que
sea) y guardarlo en un disquete y llevármelo a
casa este fin de semana.

Mis preguntas son:

1. ¿Qué versión de glibc usa Debian 2.1r2?
   (Yo necesito la glibc 2.07.19 o mayor)

2. ¿Puedo instalarme una nueva glibc sin
hacer muchos cambios en el sistema?
   ¿Cómo afectaría el cambio al resto de los
paquetes?

3. ¿Cuál es la última versión de glibc para
Debian y dónde puedo conseguirla? (he
intentado www.debian.org, buscando el paquete
glibc pero lo único  que obtengo es la
documentación).

Espero que pueda enviaros esta consulta sin
haberme subscrito. Si no os importa por favor
enviadme una respuesta por correo electrónico.

Os agradezco enormemente vuestra ayuda al
respecto.

Muchísimas gracias a todos,
Un saludo,

Antonio Vieiro

Acelerando el Fetchmail

1999-09-08 Thread Xose Manoel Ramos
Hola chavalotes!!

Bueno, muchos protestamos siempre de lo lento que es el Fetchmail
cuando baja el correo. Es un tema que se ha mencionado varias veces
en la lista y nadie parece encontrar una solución clara, pero casi
todos os habeis fijado en que el `popclient' o el `fetchpop' son
muchísimo más rápidos.

A mi es un tema que me mosquea bastante, y sobre todo me ha mosqueado
ahora a vuelta del verano, resulta que tengo 1.200 mensajes en mi
buzón (jo, los de la lista no teneis vacaciones nunca) y he hechado
más de 2 horas y sólo he bajado 400 mensajes. Así no voy a terminar
nunca. Necesito algo rápido.

Antes de mandar a paseo el Fetchmail se me ocurrió hacer
experimentos, para ver de que manera se puede acelerar. Pensé que el
problema puede estar en la distribución de correo.

Hice varias pruebas con distintos sistemas de distribución:

mda deliver xmanoel  - muy lento (donde pongo deliver,
  poned `procmail', y será aún más lento)

mda cat -  xmanoel - rapidísimo (pero ni se os ocurra
  usarlo, que no se crea un mailbox)

a través del MTA - rapidez muy, muy decente.

Creo que el problema viene de que el Fetchmail es un programa muy
serio. Antes de bajar el siguiente mensaje espera a que la
distribución de correo sea exitosa, con lo que si la distribución es
muy sencilla (como el caso segundo) va como una moto. Si hay que
pasar por filtros (procmail y deliver), bloquear el buzón, abrirlo y
cerrarlo, la cosa se ralentiza muchísimo.

Entonces alguien se preguntará ¿y porque si usas el MTA se
acelera? Muchos usamos tambien el procmail y el deliver para repartir
el correo localmente. Yo como muchos, pensé... ¿si va a pasar por el
deliver, para que meterlo primero por el MTA y luego pasarselo al
programa? Pues parece que no. Los programas de distribución y
filtrado estan hechos para lo que están y los MTA están hechos para
trabajar `de verdad'.

Por lo que he visto, los MTA intentan facilitar la llegada de
mensajes entrantes. Entonces, en vez de hacer esperar al emisor,
aceptan el mensaje, lo meten en una cola y intentan enviarlo. Luego
si no se puede distribuir ya se verá Te mandan el típico
mensajito de error al emisor. (Pero el mensaje no se pierde, se
intenta enviar varias veces).

Por eso el MTA es más rapido con el Fetchmail. El Fetchmail se pone a
meter y meter mensajes nuevos y va como un cañón. Luego es el MTA el
que va distribuyendo el mensaje. Para el usuario la diferencia no es
apreciable, y todo funciona más rápido.


EN RESUMEN

La lentitud del Fetchmail bajando correo no es culpa del programa, si
no de los programas que se usan para meter el correo en los buzones.
Por tanto, para acelerarlo debes acelerar la distribución de correo.

La mejor manera de hacer esto último es usar tu MTA (sendmail, smail,
EXIM,.) para distribuir el correo. El Fetchmail hace esto por
defecto, o sea que no tendrás que decir nada.

Si tenías algo como esto en tu fichero de configuración:

poll pop3.server with proto pop3:
   user xmanoel password ### 
   mda procmail -u xmanoel;

Cambialo por 

poll pop3.server with proto pop3:
   user xmanoel password ### 
   is xmanoel here;

Si aún así crees que esto va lento... pues entonces la culpa puede
ser de tu MTA, itntenta conseguir que se acelere la distribución de
mensajes. Pero eso ya es algo que debes preguntar a otro...

Pues admito que a vezes uso vim en vez de emacs, pero no he explorado

muy útil en emacs+psgml:
1- En el menú Modify, seleccionas Decode Characters y
   inmediatamente todos los aacute; ntilde;, etc. se transfoman

   de editar, Encode Characters te vuelve a poner todos los acentos

2- Después de haber escrito centertabletr...tdb...
   haciendo Ctrl-c-/, te va cerrando todos los tags que están  
   abiertos, en orden (/b /td /tr ).
3- Con Ctrl-c-e te crea un par cualquier-cosa /cualquier-cosa
   y puedes usar el tab para completar cualquier-cosa (entre
   una lista de posibilidades).
4- Si al comenzar un documento haces Ctrl-c-e y enter, te pone
   el html, head, body y un title donde comienzas a escribir.
5- Después de hacer por ejemplo Ctrl-c-e a, para introduzir una
   anchor (a/a), tu haces Ctrl-c-+ y el te pregunta el
   nombre del modificador; respondes con h TAB (forma rápida de
   decir href) y te pregunta el nombre del link y automáticamente

Hay otros trucos, algunos que incluyen los botones del ratón, pero

Para que te lo haga todo de una vez (introducir la entrada en modconf y
ponerlo en /etc/modules), utiliza modconf. En misc estará sb. Cuando te
pida los parámetros le das la línea anterior (options= ...) y ya se
encargará de crear /etc/modutils/modconf, ponerle la línea adecuada y
poner la línea adecuada en /etc/modules.
Eso si quieres tener cargado el módulo siempre desde el arranque. 

Si prefieres que se cargue sólo cuando lo uses, necesitas dar más
información, además de no poner la entrada sb en /etc/modules. Por
ejemplo, yo tengo en /etc/modutils el archivo
/etc/modutils/soundblaster:

Y entonces, va Cesar Morillas Barrio y dice ¿RE: Restringir login usuarios? 

 El problema de sustituir el shell del usuario por /bin/false en el fichero
 /etc/passwd es que no te deja luego hacer ftp, y no querría impedirles ese
 servicio. 
 ¿Existe alguna otra solución?
Creo que el problema esta en que /bin/false no es considerado un shell, y 
el ftp comprueba que tengas un shell valido al entrar.
Debieras tener un fichero /etc/shells con los shells considerados como
validos en tu sistema.
Añade a la lista /bin/false, y con eso ya te deberia dejar entrar.

 Pues admito que a vezes uso vim en vez de emacs, pero no he explorado

 muy útil en emacs+psgml:

Debo enfatizar que PSGML es un modo para la edición de SGML.  HTML es una
aplicación de SGML...

 1- En el menú Modify, seleccionas Decode Characters y
inmediatamente todos los aacute; ntilde;, etc. se transfoman
en algo que se puede leer mas facilmente (á,ñ). Cuando acabas
de editar, Encode Characters te vuelve a poner todos los acentos
en código html.

Esto se puede hacer pues el SGML tiene una tabla de entidades.

 2- Después de haber escrito centertabletr...tdb...
haciendo Ctrl-c-/, te va cerrando todos los tags que están  
abiertos, en orden (/b /td /tr ).

Esto lo hace pues el DTD del HTML especifica que los elementos se cierran
así.

 3- Con Ctrl-c-e te crea un par cualquier-cosa /cualquier-cosa
y puedes usar el tab para completar cualquier-cosa (entre
una lista de posibilidades).

Las posibilidades las obtiene pues el DTD especifica que marcas son válidas
en un punto arbitrario del documento.

 5- Después de hacer por ejemplo Ctrl-c-e a, para introduzir una
anchor (a/a), tu haces Ctrl-c-+ y el te pregunta el
nombre del modificador; respondes con h TAB (forma rápida de
decir href) y te pregunta el nombre del link y automáticamente
te pone a href=link (semejante para alt, width, etc).

Esto lo puede hacer pues el DTD especifica que propiedades son válidas para
cada marca.

Lo que quiero señalar es que PSGML como tal no tiene muchas cosas
específicas para HTML; la belleza del paquete viene precisamente de allí: es
para editar SGML.  Es más sencillo producir documentos válidos con PSGML que
con otra cosa...

ttyS1 with a

Now, I did go through and setup serial support in this install (it was a clean 
install to see how

8850 (? not

What's up with that?

if I do a 'man telnet.nossl' one of the options listed is -z  with the

laptop/docking configuration

1999-09-08 Thread Koyote
Okay- This removeable modem at ttyS2 brings up some other questions and 
ponderables:
  (And damn again, I've just realized that the mwave modem doesn't work unser 
linux, but is 
it detected?)(PS- anyone know ehre to get the cables for pcmcia modems?)

  I've got a laptop with a formatted 512 meg hd- this has a fairly light swap 
(about 30 meg) 
and slink.
  I've got a docking station with a scsi interface, a scsi drive partitioned 
into another 40 meg 
of swap/472 meg of ext2, a scsi cdrom, and some bonus dealies like 
keyboard/mouse ports 
and such.
  
  The question is how to configure all of this- 
Step one is the kernel: There appears to be lots that is unneeded in there- 
like pci and that 
stupid built in WD7000 scsi card that mmy boot-up can never initialize; isdn, 
eata_dma (???), 
and eata_pio (???)  
  Make menuconfig doesn't do a lot here, I can't find some of this stuff at 
all. Guess I'm 
RTFM'ing for another couple of weeks

 One kernel, or two? I could, I suppose, have LILO setup to allow booting from 
the kernel 
on hda2, and put one on sda2 (in the docking station) for when I'm docked and 
have more 
swap enabled, as well as built in scsi tailored to the system. 
 Or can I do this fine with one kernel and a script to run when I'm docked?

  (And what about filesystems? How well will it work to put the majority of my 
docs on sda2 
and link them to the directories for the rest of the docs? I'm a bit lost on 
this one.)

Step two is the devices. I need to have setup for an eventual network card (in 
the docking 
station), various pcmcia devices (PS anyone know how the Click! works under 
Linux?), the 
scsi, and keyboard/mouse. With one kernel, I have to have a lot of scripting 
done to load 
everything when I'm docked

Step Three is software. But I'm not even close to that point yet.

Koyote

I had problems mailing to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so I'll post this to
the list in hopes that you'll see it.  (BTW, this is all a bit OT for
debian-devel; any further discussion should be on debian-user - sorry for
the cross-post.)

The problem you are having is a feature of the Debian 2.1 boot disks.
The following is from the 2.1 release notes, which can be viewed at
http://www.debian.org/releases/slink.
   
Rescue Floppy  
  
Users of Adaptec 2940 SCSI cards, and other SCSI controllers with the
aic7xxx chipset, will probably experience problems with the standard 
boot-floppies.  A kind user has made some experiments which many users
find to solve their problems. There are two alternative Rescue
Floppies for the i386 architecture at ftp://kalle.csb.ki.se/pub/.
There are also replacement kernels in that location, which you can
use to simply replace the existing kernels on the boot-floppies.  

Hope that helps,
tony

o.k. everyone thanks for all the help so far. After I added the Voodoo3 stuff
/dev/3dfx, glide_v3, reinstalled mesa, now when I start the script you posted.
It workssorta. It loads the glx driver and goes to full screen mode (which
kicks ass) but the color is ALL garbled.. and eventually freezes. Still when I
try to run it from console I get no gl support at all. I can't run it as a

  One more thing.  I have all the required packages from dselect installed. 
 If I run dselect again, should I leave the present status for those

Yes, leave the state to install, or change it to hold ( = key). Don't
remove them.
Recommended packages are those that help your program function correctly
in majority of situations. Sometimes even recommended packages turn out to
be required ones. Rule of a thumb is that: If it aint broke, don't fix it

It depends on your specific sound card, whether OSS and/or ALSA support it

If you have a SoundBlaster 16 (ViBRA based), OSS (even the pay version)

Re: xterm-menus not working

On Sun, 1999-09-05 21:50:52 +0200, Johann Spies wrote:
 Thanks Keith.  That did it.  After changing my .Xdefaults to
 Xterm.vt.geometry in stead of using * the menus are usable.  In which
 documentation did you find that?

Well, actually it wasn't so much the documentation
as the experimentation that helped focus in on what was needed.
After installing X, I immediately customized the xterm
to take advantage of the full screen that was available,
but soon encountered the same problem that you did.
After some abortive attempts to solve the problem,
I backed off to an absolutely minimal X configuration:
just starting X from a console root login with xinit(1),
without an .xinitrc file in root's home directory
(and, of course, without starting xdm).
The resulting spartan xterm, while its geometry was only 80x24,
at least had the virtue that its menus worked as advertised
in xterm's manual page.
So that yielded the insight that there was nothing wrong with
the xterm software or X itself,
but rather something was wrong with the way I had customized things.
Then it was just a matter of trial and error to find the problem,
using mainly the X(1) and xterm(1) man pages for guidance.

I might add, though, that Branden Robinson has been doing a great job
of providing some much needed supplemental documentation in the FAQ's
he's been generating within the debian package.
Another great resource for X is still the X Window System User's Guide 
published by O'Reilly. Although it only covers up through Release 5 (1993),
at the user level not a whole lot has changed.
There's really a lot to X!

Or, are you trying to install debian using a boot floppy and ftp?

From what I understand, you don't have a proper dns setup. Check out 
/etc/resolv.conf.
resolv.conf:

search domain.com
nameserver your_primary_dns_server_IP
nameserver your_secondary_dns_server_IP


If you want to install potato, make your /etc/apt/sources.list look like this:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/  unstable non-US/main

or use any of the debian mirrors


... and you just need 7 floppies to install base system, apt-get/dselect does 
the rest.

Re: xconsole transparency

1999-09-08 Thread Adam Shand

 I know how to get wterm to become transparent, but what I should have
 said was how can wterm's transparency and other options be applied to
 xconsole. I'm looking for some way to alter the command
 /usr/X11R6/bin/xconsole -notify . -file /dev/xconsole to incorporate
 wterm. Thanks for the suggestions though dyer.

i use eterm for this but i believe that wterm works the same way.  you can
see a screenshot of my desktop (or an old one :) at:

http://www.spack.org/geek/desktop-wm2.gif

to see if i understand right what you are trying to do.  with eterm the
command i run is (i run it in my ~/.xinitrc file):

(sleep 10; Eterm -O -W 
-F-schumacher-clean-medium-r-normal-*-*-80-*-*-c-*-iso646.1991-irv -M 
/dev/null -S black -f yellow --unfocused-scrollbar-color black -L 512 -C -x -g 
187x6+0+0) 

i found that the sleep 10 was necessary so that the background would be set
before the console window pop'd up.  with eterm it is the -C option which
makes it work like xconsole.  i believe that wterm has the same option.
from the wterm manpage:

   -C Intercept console messages.

so it shouldn't be too hard to make it behave in the same way.

Re: where is what? - clarification (hopefully)

1999-09-08 Thread Keith Harbaugh
Thanks to all who have replied.

Actually what motivated my question was the advocacy of the procmailer
Jari Aalto: please see his http://www.procmail.org/jari/pm-tips.html
(`pm' here and below is for `procmail'),
in particular, its
1.1 for its examples of the `@(#)' identifier (in addition to the normative
RCS `$...$'), and
1.5 for its explicit advocacy of the `what' program, *in-addition-to*
the RCS `ident' program

To provide a self-contained reference for what we are talking about,
here are excerpts from the text version `pm-tips.txt' of the html page,
first for 1.1:
.@(#) $Id: pm-tips.txt,v 1.74 1999/04/23 14:45:05 jaalto Exp $

.$Contactid: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $
.$FileServer: send mail to Contactid with subject send help $
.$UrlLinksLastChecked: 1999-04-30 $
.@(#) This is a procmail tips page: a collection of procmail recipes,
.@(#) instructions, howtos. The document also contains URL pointers to
.@(#) the procmail mailing list and sites that fight against Internet
.@(#) UBE. You will also find many other interesting subjects that
.@(#) discuss about internet email: headers, mime and RFCs. There is

then for 1.5:
Please also familiarise yourself to unix what(1) and GNU RCS
ident(1), if you have those commands in your system. It is
important that you mark interesting text to these tools so that
someone can get an overview of your supplied files
% what  FILES   - Print @( # ) tags
% ident FILES   - Print $ $ keywords

Further, if one retrieves his file pm-code.zip, one finds nearly 50
source files commented using these conventions.

Given this extensive use of `unix what(1)', and wondering how much else code
is out there documented in a similar fashion,
I think it is a reasonable question to ask what is the `open source status'
of a tool to take advantage of those documentation conventions.

As to whatis, whatis is to display manual page descriptions according to
its man page, thus something from what Jari is requiring.
As to grep, I suppose grep can do something reasonable in this regard,
but in consideration of how long grep has been around, I suspect `what'
must have had some added value to make it worth having an independent
existence.

Clearly this isn't the most critical lacuna for debian, or for anyone else,
but I thought it might be worth bringing up. Thank you for your time.

Keith

I've got the same problem on an older 486 laptop; once upon a
time it had Debian on it and I had no problems; then it was
temporarily given over to the dark side and had Win95 put on it.
When I got it back, I wiped the drive and did a new install of
Debian, but I did a minimal install (bypassed the dselect stage
of the just-after-base install), and have only added packages as
I've found a need for them. During the initial install I think I
did something wrong with the PCMCIA modules, because they never
load properly. I have to stop and then start the PCMCIA init
script. As soon as I do this, the getty line is added to
/etc/inittab (it's not there originally), and then I start
getting the error messages. Everything works, except every five
minutes or so my screen fills up with the respawning too fast
message. It's annoying, but I haven't yet found the problem, and
I don't use the laptop enough to diligently search for an answer.
I did post on this list about it some weeks ago, but didn't get
an answer. (I'm not trying to get an answer now either; just
wanted to let Koyote know my experience in case it offers him a

Something more useful should be an option to apt-get a pacakge based on a
filename. Something like the apt-get install 'virtual package'.
For example, we can do:
# apt-get install mail-transport-agent
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package mail-transport-agent is a virtual package provided by:
  zmailer-ssl 2.99.50.s19-2
  zmailer 2.99.50.s19-2
  ssmtp 2.33-1
  smail 3.2.0.102-2
  sendmail 8.9.3-3
  postfix 0.0.19990627-6
  exim 3.03-1
You should explicly select one to install.
E: Package mail-transport-agent has no installation candidate
  
So why not having :
apt-get install /usr/sbin/sendmail
which should return something similar.
OK, this would add the Contents-arch.gz file to download between update,
but, if this optional, it can be useful (may be an option in apt?).

More than that, it can be very easy to do.
gzip -dc Contents-$(ARCH) | grep $FILENAME  | awk '{ print $2 }' \
cut -d\, -f1- --output-delimiter=' '

will give me with ARCH=i386 and FILENAME=usr/bin/sendmail:

mail/exim mail/sendmail-wide mail/zmailer mail/smail mail/ssmtp mail/sendmail

manipulate it a little, feed it to (g)dialog --menu, and call apt-get
with the answer and that's it.

For sure, it's not the only way to do it. Ameliorations and other methods
are left in exercices ;)

Perhaps there is an easier way to get started in all of this? Any help, even of

You might want to look into both newscache and leafnode, if your news-needs
are minimal. If your news-needs are not minimal, slog through innd. :)

Most folks seem to enjoy tin or trn or slrn or rn or nn for their text-based
newsreaders. You can use netscape as your newsreader, though it really works
better as a web browser. :)

Both gnome and kde offer their own newsreaders I think...

 and all packages it depended upon, except those needed by other packages).

Databases

1999-09-08 Thread Timothy Hospedales
Hi, ive been trying out MySQL and PostgreSQL on debian too see which I
will use for my database projects.
Can anyone recommend:
1. Documentation / HOWTOs or whatever on how to set these up with web
interfaces - expecially about how to do so as a database beginner and not
compromise the security of your whole system:).

2. What web/software client interface method is best to use and why? - The two
clients in unstable/misc seem to be non-free and ide rather use Open Source
stuff naturally.

Thanks,
Timothy

Upgrading mail-transport-agent to postfix?

1999-09-08 Thread Brian May
I apologize in advance if this is FAQ, but what is the correct way to
upgrade from qmail to postfix?

snoopy# dpkg --no-act -i postfix_0.0.19990601-3_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package postfix.
dpkg: regarding postfix_0.0.19990601-3_i386.deb containing postfix:
 postfix conflicts with mail-transport-agent
  qmail provides mail-transport-agent and is installed.
dpkg: error processing postfix_0.0.19990601-3_i386.deb (--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing postfix
Errors were encountered while processing:
 postfix_0.0.19990601-3_i386.deb

Last time, when I installed qmail, I manually removed all programs
that depended on sendmail, then removed sendmail, installed qmail, and
reinstalled all my mail programs again. Yuck!

Boot hangs at 'Starting PCMCIA services: modules' on ThinkPad i1476

1999-09-08 Thread Olaf Meeuwissen




Dear friends,

I've installed a dual-boot system (hamm/that other OS) on a 
brand-new
ThinkPad i1476 without any trouble, but 
the first boot hangs on

 Starting PCMCIA services: 
modules

I'm suspecting that the built-in Lucent Win 
Modem is wrecking havoc,
but don't have a clue as to 
how to fix this. I'd appreciate any sug-
gestions.

BTW, I'll try with slink tomorrow, but am not very optimistic 
that
that will solve the problem.

Please reply directly as I don't subscribe just yet, 
Haven't figured
out how to split incoming mail with Outlook Express ... doubt 
if I'll
ever bother when Debian boots OK.

Thanks in advance,

scsi advice

1999-09-08 Thread Joakim Svensson

Hi all,

Just need some advice/input.

I have just bought a HP scanjet 6200c
and am looking around for a scsi card
for it.

The somewhat pricey Adaptec U2W seems to
work very well with linux so thats
what I have in mind at this moment.

Anyone has any suggestions if this will be
a good buy. At the moment only the scanner
will be connected but I will probably
use it in the future to add for example
scsi hard disk.

Best regards
Joakim Svensson

 What can I do?

apt-get install emacs20

I've noticed a problem with emacs 20 of slink on potato... when I pressed
^X^C to exit, emacs said: 'Segmentation fault'. You should download the
latest version.

Bye!

how to find the next server

1999-09-08 Thread Nils Rennebarth
I remember having heard of a tool (debian packaged) that given a number of
hosts tries to find the one with the best connectivity. Great for choosing
among a lot of mirrors.

I can´t remember the name though. Could someone help me?
