Pues admito que a vezes uso vim en vez de emacs, pero no he explorado bien sus capacidades y no sé si hace lo siguiente que yo encuentro muy útil en emacs+psgml: 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. 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 te pone a href=link (semejante para alt, width, etc). Hay otros trucos, algunos que incluyen los botones del ratón, pero no continuo para no aburrir mucho. Desconozco el emacs pero en vim no puedes hacer esas birgerías. Lo que si se puede usar es asociar una macro de teclas con un filtro particular. Por ejemplo se puede hacer eso para firmar con PGP o para encriptar con PGP o para corregir la ortografía y para pasar los acentos a vocalacute; tambien se podría hacer. El vim tiene además la capacidad de reconocer la sintaxis de muchos lenguajes incluido el html de forma que los diferentes elementos te salen en colores pero como ves no se acerca a las maravillas que acabas de comertar del emacs.

Porque en cada màquina hay un usuario root, no. ¿Alguien puede aclarármelo? Un saludo, David :-??? Si lo piensas bien, esa pregunta no tiene mucho sentido ¿no? Como tú bien dices, en cada máquina hay un usuario root, cada usuario root es el root de cada máquina ;D. Si tú haces un telnet a otra máquina y quieres entrar como root, tendrás que poner el password de root de esa máquina, digo yo. El problema podría estar a la hora de copiar ficheros entre máquinas con protocolo nfs :-m, pero según me comenta mi gurú particular, puedes hacer que los ficheros que copia el root de aquí para allá se queden con un uid específico. Algo similar pasa cuando llevas en un diskette un programa que has hecho bajo root en tu máquina o cuando te bajas por ftp un programa con los atributos de root. - Cuando lo copias del diskette, se eliminan los atributos de root del fichero y pasa a ser tuyo (del usuario que lo está copiando a su cuenta, a la que previamente ha hecho login con usuario y password). El problema sería ejecutarlo directamente de disquete, pero justamente por eso el mount es un comando privilegiado, y se suele poner el noexec en el mount de los diskettes o CD-ROMs, por ejemplo. - Al bajártelo por ftp, no se conservan los atributos de root a menos que sea el propio root el que se baja el archivo. Pasa como con la copia del diskette, que el fichero destino asume la propiedad del que lo copia. Antonio Tejada Lacaci [EMAIL PROTECTED] Depto. Análisis y Programación Banca March S.A.

Pues 4.000 paquetes quedarían en: 5 CDs de binarios. 3-4 CDs de fuentes, dependiendo de la proporción de paquetes GNU y paquetes contrib, non-free, etc. En resumen, una distribución completa de potato, tal como la ponéis en este hilo, sería de 8 a 9 CDs, y hasta quizás incluso 10 para cuando esté completa. 3.800 paquetes, lo que se habla ahora, quedaría muy ajustado en 4CDs.

In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write: A conflict in the debian sense, or a conflict in the one is allowed but a A conflict in the debian sense - ie dpkg produces a conflict error message. Just in case enyone is confused (I don't understand why everyone seems to be quoting my old case), I will requote the error message: 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 single smtp server running at a time conflict?

I have a few non-standard things in my setup (eg fidonet), that I am not 100% sure of under postfix). sendmail-purge qmail-install did not work for Brian, but to have both qmail and sendmail on the same computer seems a little dangerous. :) This was sometime ago (perhaps the first Debian version), so it might be different now. I hope nobody was confused when reading my original message, I previously upgraded sendmail to qmail, but that is now history. I now want to upgrade **qmail** to **postfix**. I repeat.

I quoted the dpkg error message, above, and in my previous message. I am not sure what you mean, sendmail-purge, qmail-install. I will translate that to qmail-purge postfix-install.

What I'm wondering is this: When I'm in X windows, and I highlight something, where does it go (I know to the clipboard), but is that an actual file I can access? No, it's not an actual file. X actually has several types of selections. Oddly enough, even though one is named CLIPBOARD, the standard clipboard functionality is involved with selection PRIMARY. When an application wants to own the selection, it calls XSetSelectionOwner with the proper arguments. Later on, when an application wants to get the value of that selection, it calls XConvertSelection. This sends the selection owner a SelectionRequest event. The first application recieves the SelectionRequest event, telling it who wants the selection and what format it wants. It therefore sets a property on the second's window and sends the second a SelectionNotify event. If it can't comply for some reason, it sends a SelectionNotify event with the property set to None. The requestng application recieves the SelectionNotify event, and if the property isn't None it can then retrieve the data with XGetWindowProperty. Eventually, someone else will try to own the selection, and the current owner will recieve a SelectionClear event. Read the xbook on X11/Xlib for more info. Also, note that the various toolkits may provide wrappers for all this. For an example, look at the manpage Tk::selection(3pm), from the perl-tk package.

Re: CD player question
Hi Micheal, Generally CD roms play audio cd's in the following way. The CD-ROM reads the disk at 1x speed and converts the data to a audio signal via the internal DAC. The audio output of your CD-ROM should be connected to your sound card via a wire seperate from the power cable and the IDE or SCSI cable. The soundcard used this audio signal as just another analog audio source and feeds it into the audio mixer just before the speaker outputs. The soundcard does NOT do any manipulation of the audio signal in the digital domain. (Basic soundcard here) Therefore your soundcard and CDROM may be doing as they should but are missing the audio connection between them. You may have to puchase such a wire and install it. You can verify you CDROM is working correctly by pluging in headphones to the jack on the front of the unit. Using the software of choice command your CD-ROM to play an audio the CD. If you hear music you CD-ROM is OK. Look at the connection or the soundcard. Cheer David Could anyone please explain to me how the CD players put out the music? It seems I'm having a problem with the sound card on one of my systems. I have one with a isapnp Sounblaster that works fine. For instance I can use play to play wav files, splay for MP3s, saytime tells me how late it is and xfreecd as well as gtcd play the CD. The only thing that doens't seem to work is emusic. But I didn't try more than just hitting PLAY on emusic so there is a lot of room for missing configuration on my part. My other system using an es1370 chip set PCI card that is (wherever possible) identically configured. I have no problem playing WAVs and MP3 with play resp. splay. But that's about it. None of the CD players gives me any output. But I also get no error message at all. And saytime produces some static in the speaker. Now saytime uses /dev/audio while play/splay use /dev/dsp, so this may explain thsi difference. but why doesn't /dev/audio work? And why do all the CD players not say a word? As a last note on teh PCI system all works well when using M$. Good sound from the CD. Michael P.S.: Please CC me on replies. -- Michael Meskes | Go SF 49ers!

laptop advice
Hi there, I am thinking of buying a laptop, probably second hand, with the intention of running linux only. Does anyone have any experience with installing and using linux on laptops? Can anyone recommend any particular laptop brands/models for running linux? What can I do to make sure that any laptop that I buy will be useable with linux? (for example: tests I can run on the laptop while in the shop, useful tools - tomsrtbt?, etc...) Thanks, Matthew

help with building mod-perl
hello debian-users, it's good to be here! i could use some help getting mod-perl working. i've just subscribed to this list, so i am aware only of its archived state only up to '18:22 GMT Tue Sep 07'; apologies if somebody has made a recent inquiry into this. i'm using 'http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable' as my apt source and have encountered the following 'dependency/conflict' problem in dselect: libapache-mod-perl depends on apache-common ( 1 .3.7-0) i want to get mod-perl working, so i reasoned perhaps the best thing to do would be to build it myself. i installed the apache-dev package and downloaded mod_perl-1.21.tar.gz (from http://perl.apache.org/) gleaning what i can from the description of what comes with apache-dev and given that i already .debs for apache and apache-common installed, i'm guessing the best thing to do is use apxs to build it. so i tried the following: perl Makefile.PL USE_APXS=1 WITH_APXS=/usr/bin/apxs EVERYTHING=1 which gives me a warning: Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ldbm then, upon doing a make, i get the fatal error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot open -lgdbm: No such file or directory what am i missing? i tried installing libgdbmg1, libmldbm-perl, even libgdbmg1 thank you for any help, /iain lamb p.s. also, can somebody tell me what the apaci executable in /usr/doc/apache-dev is for and when / if / how to use it?
re: laptop advice

Can anyone recommend any particular laptop brands/models for running linux? What can I do to make sure that any laptop that I buy will be useable with linux? (for example: tests I can run on the laptop while in the shop, useful tools - tomsrtbt?, etc...) Step one is to look through the HOWTO's and MINI HOWTO's- some truly valuable info in there. Second- you really want to load from CD- Option one is to use a pcmcia cdrom (parellel port cd's appear to require drivers that you don't have in the base disk images.) You MUST have a floppy on board to boot form, and it's nice to have for rescue operations. (This is my experience so far, and is based on the fact that most older laptops don't have bootable cdroms). I've had good experience with the Thinkpad from IBM (I'd advise either a 755 or later model). An onboard cdrom is a waste of battery time and money- I think. Used laptops cost a lot more with cd's than without. (and a pcmcia cdrom can be had for $60 if you are patient.) The IBM thinkpad series also accepts the wonderful DOCK-II docking station, which has a fully supported adaptec aha152x (sp?) scsi controller and installing from cdrom on one of these is easy. (scsi cdroms are *sweet*).You also have an open bay and an open spot on your internal scsi cable. This also has two open isa slots and two additional pcmcia slots. The removable hard drive (on mine, a 755CE, it's a 540meg) is easy to replace and hard drives can be had- in the thinkpad casing, for 3040 bucks. There are also (big bennie) some hacked video modes for X that work well. The major downside is that thinkpads use mwave sound/modem cards. These are currently not supported under linux, though work is being done on that. There is a hack for linux involving a special boot floppy which will get the sound working, but the modem is a no-go. I'm to be testing an NEC versa V series as soon as the rest of the parts arrive- research indicates that there won't be a problem with it, but Thinkpad 755/760 series laptops and parts tend to run a bit less (money), and with higher performance, on ebay at least. The seller for me is the engineering of the Docking station- having the capability to put a complete scsi based desktop together (I have a scsi cdrom, 5430 meg scsi drive, pcmcia modem, keyboard, trackbal and old cast off crystal scan monitor- grand total $120) .

Re: Boot hangs at 'Starting PCMCIA services: modules' on ThinkPad i1476
Earlier I wrote: 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.

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, I've tried with slink without much success. However, I noticed that booting slink with the hamm kernel does not try to start PCMCIA, so I could get at a boot prompt. Moved /etc/init.d/pcmcia to somewhere else and rebooted with the slink kernel. BTW, I'm using loadlin to boot. Some experimenting showed that the pcmcia script hangs while trying to load the i82365 module. Inserting and removing a PCMCIA card in the top slot causes it to continue. Things seem to work OK, so far. I have been looking at /var/log/messages to see if I can find out what is causing the hang, but I'm afraid that is a little beyond me.

IBM Thinkpad 560 - Nothing but problems installing (I got CDs today)
Hi, I got the debian 2.1 CDs today. I got peanut linux somewhat working over the last few days, saw KDE, really cool. I have been having NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS INSTALLING debian 2.1 today/tonight. No matter what I do, it won't see my CDROM during the install. It says Oh, I see you have a /dev/cdrom, but it doesn't see the darn thing. I have the H45 QuickCD PCMCIA version. When I boot up from /hda5 the base system comes up, and the darn CD spins up for a couple seconds (?) and mentioned that tray error. I can't understand how it sees the CD. During the install, the PCMCIA config fails regarding an /sbin/cardmgr error. I have been able to make rescue/driver disks OK. I even got the base system installed, by copying the stuff over to my C: drive using windows 95. I got the base system running OK. I got it to boot from /dev/hda2 which contains /dev/hda5 (native linux) and /dev/hda6 (swap). I chose Standard Development System so as to avoid the deselect selecting stuff. I do not know how to get back to this, so every time I try, I have been starting from scratch. I wish I knew how to get to the point where it offers those choices again. I also tried copying the WHOLE CD (#1) to c:/debian. It can see a couple things like dists/slink/main but refuses to see where the contib and local stuff is. I WANT TO TRY AGAIN. IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL I HAVE TO DO TO USE THIS H45 QUICKCD? I think it's messing up because it is spun down until needed, and times out(?). Where do I go from here. I do not mind starting from scratch. I have already wiped out Windows95, and re-installed it about a dozen times in the last week or so, learning about how to correctly use fdisk (on both OSes). It takes me several hours each time, to get back, and back on the net. Help anyone? Determined John __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Hi, I also have a JVC SCI CDROM (reader/writer) that I use with a PCMCIA Bus Toaster SCSI-adapter, which is MUCH more reliable (at least on Windows 95) as it stays spun up, and hardly ever gets an error like the H45 Quick CD.

A bug in a menu entry ?
My slink system has the following entry in its menu system: [07:49:18 shaul]$ grep pstree .fvwm2/menudefs.hook + pstree Exec /usr/bin/X11/xterm -T pstree -e /usr/bin/pstree [07:53:10 shaul]$ The problem is that the xterm that is showing the pstree is closed immediately after pstree has terminated, which makes this entry useless. Am I right ? I tried to find an xterm switch which will instruct the xterm to stay even after the pstree has terminated, but I could not find one. Is there something of the sort ? Another option I tried is to modify the entry for something like + pstree Exec /usr/bin/X11/xterm -T pstree -e /usr/bin/pstree | less However, it does not work. Is there a way to solve it in this way ? BTW: The xterm manpage says that: -e program [ arguments ... ] This option specifies the program (and its command line arguments) to be run in the xterm window. It also sets the window title and icon name to be the basename of the program being executed if neither -T nor -n are given on the command line. This must be the last option on the command line. Doesn't that makes the -T option above redundant ? Another thing about the -T, which is also taken from the xterm manpage is: The following command line arguments are provided for com- patibility with older versions. They may not be supported in the next release as the X Toolkit provides standard options that accomplish the same task. . . . -T string This option specifies the title for xterm's win- dows.

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. Joaki I thought there was a hardware compatibility HOWTO but I can't find it. I did find a bunch of controllers that are supported in the 2.0.36 kernel (and following kernels.) Read these files in your kernel source: /usr/src/kernel/2.0.36/drivers/scsi/README* My experience with Adaptec cards is that they work well, but are more expensive than some other cards, and they are _quite_ sensitive to the quality of cables used. Poor cabes give scsi errors that mimic bad devices. If you buy the absolute best cables, external and internal, you will be fine. Some other controllers are said not to be so sensitive.

Monitor various system informations
Hello! I am looking for a way to monitor various system informations for the debian servers we install. An example of informations to monitor is: - Network throughput - Uptime - Mail queue size - If I'm sending mail, what's the sending progress (1) - If I'm retrieving mail (fetchmail), what's the progress (1) - Is the modem connected? At what speed? What's its current throughput? - User specific disk and mail stats (requires user autentication) ...and the like. The goal is to have various ways to read the stats (web page on a server's http server, gnome application, win32 application). The first step is to write ad application who's able to gather all the required information and to share it in a consistent way. That said, the questions are: 1) SNMP seems to be a good way to share these informations, but I have to learn it: before starting, is it the right way to go? 2) LDAP instead? Other services? 3) Is there a way to interrogate fetchmail about how's going? If not, is someone working on it? Who? I'll give help. If nobody's working on it, I will. 4) Is there a way to interrogate exim and pppd about how's going? Luckily diald already has a way to gather informations. TIA!

Upgrading XFree86
I need some advice on how to upgrade the XFree86 files that came with Slink. My problem is that I have a card (STB nVIDIA TNT, 16 Mb of RAM) not listed in the stable version, but listed in the unstable version of X. Newer versions of X that came with Mandrake (in rpm format) work fine; but the older X files that came with Slink don't. I need to use the svga server. Currently, if I use the svga server I get terrible resolution, around 320 X something, but if I use the vga server I can at least get vga resolution. So, I need to upgrade X. But that's where I'm confused. Which files must I upgrade? The Debian FAQ-O-MATIC says to upgrade: xbase, xlib6, xfntbase and the xservers that I'll use. However, these files each have different dependencies that make me wonder whether the above is a complete list. Is it best to download all the X packages at http://www.debian.org/~branden/ and then run dselect? Thanks for any help. I'm almost there with a fully functional Debian. -Dave

Printing *should* work...
Okay, I'm tying to set up a 486-66MHz, 16MB RAM, 240MB HD, as a demonstration for Linux Demo Day this Sunday. I've got it more-or-less working for scanning (the world's worst SCSI card in there :- ) but printing is giving me pause. Yes, this is old crappy hardware, but that's why it'll be impressive. *If* I can get it working... I've got magicfilter, lpr, and all the other goodies on there. I've checked my dmesg, and the parallel port is at /dev/lp1. I've temporarily got an Epson FX-1050 printer hooked up to it. (I've printed with this printer in the past. It works.) So far as I can tell, /etc/printcap is set up correctly. It's using the epson9 filter, going to /dev/lp1, the spool directory exists, lpd is running, and so forth. If I try to print (e.g. lpr somefile.txt), the job gets queued, but nothing else happens. If I run lpq reports things in the right queue, and lpstat claims that the daemon is running *and printing*, yet so far as I can see, no signals go to the printer. Just for the heck of it, I set up a remote printcap entry, following the Printing-HOWTO, and sent it to my main machine across the network. Same thing; no errors, but no printout. What the heck is going on? Anything I should try? (I haven't actually done a cat somefile.txt /dev/lp1 yet, 'cause I didn't think of it until later. I'll certainly try it tonight.)

fixed sound problem at the 2.2.12 kernel level: bug??
The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to linux.sources.kernel as well. Dear Linux developers: I am not normally a kernel or c-code developer, but I wanted to relay this to the community to correct a sound problem I have had. My sound quit working (SB16 PnP) upon installation of a new kernel (not sure which new kernel this happened). I now have installed the latest stable kernel 2.2.12 (this error may have occured earlier 2.2.11 or less?). I got the following error message when the sound.o module is initialized: Sep 7 16:29:59 fea insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.12/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol isa_dma_bridge_buggy Sep 7 16:29:59 fea insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.12/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol isa_dma_bridge_buggy I also get a similar error message upon the depmod -a command (sound is the only module): fea# depmod -a /lib/modules/2.2.12/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol(s) I dug into this problem and discovered that the variable isa_dma_bridge_buggy is normally initialized in asm/dma.h. Therefore, I got my sound to work by adding the following line to ./linux/drivers/sound/dmabuf.c: #include asm/dma.h Perhaps this change should be added to kernel.
