Instalar debian desde UMSDOS
¿Alguno de vosotros ha conseguido/intentado instalar Debian en UMSDOS? Estuve peleándome el fin de semana para instalarla en UMSDOS (un directorio de una partición DOS), con resultados ... bueno, más bien sin resultados y punto ;D (lo estuve intentando con RedHat y con Debian). En teoría basta con montar el raiz en el umsdos desde la consola que tienes en tty2 cuando arranca la instalación de debian y pasar de las opciones del menú de debian para crear y activar la partición de swap y crear la partición root (se crea desde esa consola cuando montas el sistema umsdos). El problema inicial es que los kernels que traen los CDs no reconocen el sistema umsdos, y la cosa es que no tengo acceso a un módulo umsdos que concuerde con el kernel que trae el instalador. Supongo que luego, a la hora de arrancar el sistema, habría otro problema y es que el kernel tiene que tener umsdos no como módulo, sino linkado estáticamente, ya que si no, al arrancar pegará un petardo que pá qué (pasa lo mismo si tienes el root en ext2, tienes que tener el fs ext2 linkado estáticamente). Una solución sería compilar un kernel con el soporte que necesite, pero me gustaría saber si un usuario que no tenga linux podría instalarlo en umsdos :-m Estuve mirando en las imágenes de boot disks de debian, pero sólo tienen el 1440, el 1440tecra y poco más :-m (y ninguno de ellos viene con un kernel con soporte umsdos). Igual tendría que mirar los kernels de la slackware, que suele traer un montón de boot disks con kernel de lo más variopinto. Antonio Tejada Lacaci [EMAIL PROTECTED] Depto.

Netscape Calendar
Hola, envio este mail aqui porque la verdad es que estoy un poco desesperado y ya no se a quien puedo recurrir. Resulta que he intentado instalar el netscape v4.61 y el 4.6 y el 4.5 con el calendar incorporado y no lo he conseguido. En el servidor de Netscape normalmente salen dos versiones, la glib y la libc5, pero con el Calendar solo consta la versión libc5. Actualmente utilizo la Debian 2.1 slink, con el paquete libc5-compat instalado, pero aun así, al ejecutar, obtengo un agradable segmentation fault. Por lo que estuve viendo en el README, aseguran que el libc5 que normalmente acompaña a los Linux no funciona correctamente con el navegador, por lo que aconsejan en caso de problemas que obtengas una nueva version de un par de servidores, pero aun así tampoco me ha funcionado. Alguin alguna vez, ha podido ver el Calendar funcionando con la Debian Alguin ha podido solucionar este embrollo con el libc5 Por si puede ser interesante, os envio lo que me da el ldd con el Netscape, a ver si es que la culpa el de los diferentes libc5 que corren por el mundo. Espero que alguien haya tenido este mismo problema y lo haya solucionado...

[Solución] Arial GhostScript
Hola, Al respecto del tema de utilizar la fuente Arial con el GhostScript, pues decir que el GhostScript no soporta el Arial a no ser que utilices la versión compilada con soporte TrueType. Lo que pasa es que el GhostScript tiene una función para `remappear' unas fuentes por otras. En este caso hace lo que hace es cada vez que se haga referencia a la fuente `Arial' utiliza la fuente `Helvética' (que son muy parecidas). Esta opción, por si a alguien interesa está en: /usr/lib/ghostscript/5.10/gs_fonts.ps Por si alguien usa el GhostScript para imprimir ficheros creados en Windows y se encuentra con `Verdanas', `New Century Schoolbook' y cosas así...

Una opcion es hablar con los responsables de la Debian y comentarles la idea de sacar distribuciones mas a menudo. Y la otra opcion es unirse unas cuantas personas e ir sacando perioodicamente una Debian actualizada. Si hay algo que caracteriza a Debian, es la gran seguridad que exige a cualquier programa incluido la distribución. No se pueden poner las ultimas versiones de cualquier programa sin haberlas testeado varios meses y haber comprobado que no tienen fallos. En eso se basa Debian, no en la rapidez. Todo esto está muy bien. Pero la verdad es que se presenta un problema cuando necesitas la última versión de algo porque sabes que dicha versión tiene algo que necesitas. A mí me ha ocurrido que para poder tener disponible una tontería tuve que bajar un montón de cosas. Y la verdad, los mortales de a pié no disponemos ni de dinero ni de paciencia para bajarnos de golpe y porrazo un montón de megas debianeras. Supongo que la mayoría como yo tiene que conformarse con que venga algo en alguna revistilla o comprar la última distribución actualizada. Pero, por ejemplo, yo ahora mismo estoy desarrollando un proyecto (Gseq) y necesito utilizar las últimas librerías de Gnome, Gtk y Glib (o casi las últimas). Ocurre, que mientras veo el montón de cosas que tengo que bajarme (la otra opción es bajarme los fuentes de todo y compilar, pero esos son otro problema y otra historia) observo que por ahí anda Red Hat con las librerías actualizadas a mis necesidades. Por ahora sigo utilizando Debian, porque eso sí, es estable, tiene muchas cosas y el sistema de paquetes es muy bueno. Pero, creedme, que me pongo excusas para no instalarme la RH. En definitiva, que yo creo que Debian (al menos en el momento presente, en el que hay distribuciones más actualizadas) es una distribución para ambientes profesionales, dada su estabilidad y por supuesto su seguridad. Ahora bien, enfocando al usuario doméstico, algo me dice que se adecúa más alguna otra distribución. En cualquier caso, siempre hay que aplaudir, animar y reconocer la intención desinteresada de los que trabajan en y por Debian. Creo que merecen atención especial. Por eso, no considero sano que alguien diga que la distribución está mal hecha o cosas de ese estilo, ya que dicho juicio sería una falta de respeto. Eso sí, me parece correcto que los sedientos como yo de actualizaciones manifiesten su 'envidia' (sana) al ver cómo otras distribuciones progresan más rápido en ese sentido. Una idea que se me ocurre sería (complementando un poco a Antonio) sería que se crease en el site Debian, un directorio algo parecido al 'unstable', pero algo más estable, e incentivar a Creo que tu te explicas mejor que yo. Estoy de acuerdo en todo lo que dices y me identifico mucho porque tambien me pasaron cosas parecidas. El problema es que un unstable algo más estable tiene que resultar tambien muy dificil porque estamos hablando nuevamente de la distribución globalmente. Creo que si se pretende poner en marcha cosas ambiciosas se corre el peligro de no llegar a nada positivo porque estamos hablando de algo gigantesco que crece cada vez más rápido y que exisge muchisimo esfuerzo. Voy a ver si me explico un poco mejor. Hay actualizaciones que son complicadas porque implican una serie de cambios en una serie de componentes del sistema. La forma de trabajo actual es congelar una propuesta global e ir refinando los problemas que van apareciendo. Si un grupo de trabajo totalmente independiente del resto de Debian más que nada para no incordar se centrara en un paquete importante o en un conjunto de paquetes más o menos relacionados entre sí se podría proporcionar herramientas en forma de scripts que permitieran actualizar desde la ultima versión estable. Pongamos el kernel. Realmente bajarse el ultimo kernel y compilarlo no supone mucho problema pero suele provocar algunos pequeños efectos colaterales en distintos puntos del sistema que generalmente hay que investigar un poco. (Por ejemplo: Huy la impresora ya no me va). Si existe un grupo de trabajo centrado en la actualizacion del kernel Linux desde la última versión estable, se conseguiría que mediante una politica de actualizaciones Debian fuera la distribución con capacidad de incorporar el kernel más moderno de la forma más rápida, cómoda y segura. Si esta política con distintos grupos de trabajo independientes de Debian se hiciera extensivo a otros paquetes o incluso areas (Esto depende de la fuerza de cada grupo) tendríamos una Debian estable y un conjunto de actualizaciones desarrolladas por grupos independientes. Lo de la independencia no sería una condición. Solo es que tengo la sensación de

El Tue, Sep 07, 1999 at 12:21:34PM -0600, Marcelo E. Magallon contaba: [ antes de que alguien diga las palabras mágicas, este tema es motivo de intensas y agotadoras guerras de insultos en [EMAIL PROTECTED], al punto que varias veces he estado a punto de desuscribirme de la lista mencionada. ¿Por qué existen el Dock y el Clip si parece que al final ambos cumplen la misma función? Simplemente porque es cómodo. La mayoría de la gente pone en el Dock aplicaciones como wmnet, wmppp, asclock, y similares, y las cosas para lanzar las deja en el Clip, que se puede colapsar y todo eso; alguna gente simplemente elimina el Dock, otra elimina el Clip y otra elimina ambos ] ¿Meter un poco de leña en el fuego? ;-) Bueno, apoyo al cien por cien a Marcelo. El WindowMaker intenta ser lo más fiel al spiritu Step (ahora que incluso Apple lo ha traicionado y lo ha abandonado) y en algunas cosas es muy rígido y hasta molesto. Molesto cuando vienes de trabajar en otro entorno, pero muy agradable cuando te acostumbras. El `Dock' no está hecho para enganchar todo lo que te da la gana y mucho menos para enchufar iconitos a lo loco. Si alguien tiene más de 8 cosas metidas allí, apuesto a que 6 o 7 están de más o no valen para nada ;-) El `Clip' es lo que realmente rula en estos casos. Mucha gente no lo conoce ni siquiera sabe que se usa. El Clip es este otro icono que tiene unas flechitas a los lados.

Re: Ni idea de cómo empezar
Lo primero, ten cuidado al responder a los mensajes de la lista, porque me temo que éste sólo me ha llegado a mí :) PAMIFER decía: ¿De qué va eso del $PATH? Perdonad mi ignorancia. Es una variable global que le dice a tu shell (intérprete de comandos o, mejor dicho, de órdenes) dónde debe buscar las órdenes que tú pones en el prompt para ejecutarlas. Ejemplo: Tú pones: $ ls Y bash (el intérprete de órdenes de Linux por defecto) buscará esa orden en los directorios que aparecen en tu $PATH. Si no está en ellos, te devuelve un mensaje del tipo: ~-barbwired jolines bash: jolines: command not found Mi $PATH es así: export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/netscape/ Y esta línea se pone en el .bash_profile. Para ver los archivos ocultos de tu $HOME (otra variable como $PATH, pero que contiene tu directorio de conexión, por ejemplo /home/barbwired/, haz ls -a.

Re: debian
Well, if you can spare the $12, you can buy it from cheapbytes.com. Depending on how fast your connection is, this might be faster. :) If you have the burner, I understand linuxberg.com has the debian CD images that you can write directly to CD. I think there is a way, using nothing but the base packages, to get onto the net enough to download the rest of the thing. But, I haven't tried that method. shrug I would imagine if you want to download everything under slink or everything under potato that you could use that as the installation medium too.

First, the devices are commonly /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, /dev/ttyS2 (not S01 etc). For a modem, the first step is to make sure you don't have a winmodem. Look at http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html. If you have a winmodem, you're out of luck for the time being. If not, try using the pppconfig utility to make sure everything is set up properly. As for devices in general, most of the drivers are in the kernel if they're available at all (you may need to recompile, depending how exotic the device). A few vendors are beginning to offer Linux drivers, but not many have yet. Usually, user-space programs are also needed to interface those devices.

Install the ssh package if you haven't already done so (it's in the non-US/non-free section). 2. Add these two lines to either /etc/ssh/ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config (Debian is the only system I know of that has X11 forwarding turned off by default in ssh): Host localhost ForwardX11 yes 3. Inside an xterm, rxvt, eterm or whatever, run this command: ssh -l root localhost Now ssh will automatically take care of the DISPLAY variable and X authorisation.

Num lock disables alt- and ctrl-key shortcuts?
[This message has also been posted.] I've just noticed that both Adobe's Acrobat Reader 3 and RealMedia's Realplayer G2 have an interesting behavior: if NumLock is activated, their keyboard shortcuts that require shifted keys, like Alt-F for the File menu or ^P for Print, don't work. On the other hand, StarOffice 5.1's shortcuts work fine with NumLock on. I'd like to report the bug, but I'm not sure to whom. Since it appears in other apps, but not StarOffice, I'm suspecting it's in some X library. (StarOffice uses its own libraries for many functions, which might explain why it's immune.) Anyone out there have an insight as to where this should be reported? Running slink with a couple of potato packages, XFree86 3.3.2.3.

Re: ACER CD-RW's
Not to nitpick here, but the kernel is the OS. Anyhow, ide CD recordes and re-writables are well supported under Linux. Now, following the directions in the CD-Writing HOWTO didn't completely work for me. Follow the directions in the CD-Writing HOWTO *EXCEPT* build scsi-generic support into the kernel, NOT as a module. Once I did that, and followed the rest of the directions in the HOWTO, it worked like a charm. Write back if it still doesn't work, and I will give step-by-step instructions. Bryan the OS has little to do with hardware support, it's the kernel and packages you install.

lilo to a different device
alright, maybe I went about this whole thing the wrong way, but I started out w/ a debian system, then a few months later, decided to add a windows disk to play games not supported under linux. so, I take out my linux disk, put the clean disk as the master, and install windows on that. everything works. then I put the linux disk back on, slavify the windows disk and add the line in lilo: other=/dev/hdb1 label=win re-run lilo and I get added linux * added win reboot the computer, and when I try to boot win, I get a system disk error. I'm assuming this is cuz windows is not the first disk and I'v heard bad things happen when you try to boot a windows that isn't on the first disk. after a bit of scariness (a long story, fixed w/ the hair of my chinny chin chin) I come to the conclusion that I have to run lilo, and get it to install the mbr on the windows disk (which is now /dev/hdb, but will be /dev/hda) I can't just change the fstab and lilo.conf to say linux is on hdb and win is on hda (that's what got me into the trouble to begin w/), I actually need to _force_ lilo to install itself on /dev/hdb (I am 99.999% sure of this, but very open to correction). the man page has nothing about this, and deja is a little sparten too...anyone out there in this vast debian knowledge pool know what I need to do? thanks ps. if I've been a little confusing, please email me directly (digest takes to long) and I'll be more thurough in my explaination. thanks --- Peter Moody Assisant Network Administator [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---

Check that the first line of the shell script reads something like: #!/bin/bash -or- #!/bin/sh Without this line, things go broke. Hmm. After a moment's thought, it occured to me that perchance the script file is not +x -- run the appropriate chmod command on the script to make it executable. I, being thick-headed and hard to change, would type: chmod 755 script if it was OK for others to run it, or chmod 744 script if it was not OK for them to run it, but seeing it was still fine, or chmod 500 script if I trusted neither them nor myself. :) If you aren't as thickheaded as I am, you will probably use the nice letters instead of numbers.

Re: change the ip address without rebooting
chances are good you need to ifconfig eth0 down first. After ifconfig eth0 blah blah up you will probably need to add default routes to your gateway, as well as to your network, etc. Oh yes, I think the dynamic IP patch comes into play for this situation: echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr (Is this located anywhere by default on a debian system?) have fun :) On Mon, Sep 13, 1999 at 03:36:28PM +1000, Shao Zhang wrote: hi, How do I change the ip address of my machine without rebooting?

On the other hand, StarOffice 5.1's shortcuts work fine with NumLock on. I have a similar problem with fvwm2.

Hi, talking about the C programming style, are we supposed to use tabstoplength=8 or softtabstop=2? I have always been using tabstoplength=8, but all the program src I got(mutt for example) all use the softtabstop=2. Anyway, I am quite happy with softtabstop=2. But I am wondering how do I set the cindent to use softtabstop=2. I have tried set cino=2, but this just put two spaces, so I have to press backspace twice when I want to go back. Thanks in advance.

Quake3 and Diamond Viper V770 - TNT2
Hello All, I know people out there have gotten this to work, so I am hoping someone can help me out with this... I just bought a Viper V770. I got the modified XServer from nvidia, I downloaded the statically linked tarball with libGL.so.1.0 in it, I followed their install instructions, I configured X for 800x600x16bpp. I started linuxquake3, and everything appeared to be working...then I saw a screen full of random colored lines which ran horizontally across the screen. I can hear the standard quake menu thump sounds when I move the arrows up and down, so I know that the game has started, but all I see is garbage. I am running Slink with Branden's 3.3.4 debs installed. I tried dropping back to 15bpp and also running in 1024x768 with no luck. Any ideas/suggestions? I feel like the only person on earth who can't get it to run :( Thanks, Steve

Re: Installation Problem
This is based on something I read in Linux Journal a little while back.. md is more than just for scsi devices. It allows you to specify raid0 and raid1 (possibly also raid5?) for ide or scsi hard drives. You can turn three physical hardrives into one logical partition, with striping, without striping, maybe even with redundancy, though I am a bit foggy on those details. I looked at it, decided it would probably make recovering from a hard drive bit-flipping situation harder, and left it alone. I don't mind so much moutning my extra drives in other spots, though I can certainly see where it would be useful. btw -- it would help many people if you were to line-wrap at 74 to 76 characters per line. :) On Mon, Sep 13, 1999 at 04:46:44PM -0500, David Cureton wrote: Hi, I also have similar trouble on my system except it took a VERY long time for the boot to get past md driver.

Hi, I use mc frequently ( also to edit textfiles, I'm not a vi guy ), but recently it stopped working. when I try to start it, the machine hangs for a few seconds, there is a lot of harddisk activity, then it exits with; /usr/bin/mc: fork: resource temporarily not available. I found out that the harddisk activity was due to a lot of files being created in /tmp, 50-100 or so. They all looked like this; mcX-YY with the X's being numbers starting at 20443, looking very much like a PID, and the Y's just looking like random numbers. I also noticed a process called queued running, which I do not think I have seen running before. I suspect this having to do with the fact that I'm running potato, and therefore having mc in version 4.5.38-1 Can anyone tell me what the problem could be ?

xconsole : couldn't open conssole
Hello, I used to have xconsole on my windowmanager (in every windowmanager) as normal user, now I lost it. Don't know how I did it. ;( Tried to start it from xterm : I get a window with the nice message : couldn't open console and that's it. Tried to start it as root : I get the window, no error message, but no other messages either. Is this a permission problem ? I do appreciate any help. Johan

Re: Num lock disables alt- and ctrl-key shortcuts?
*- On 12 Sep, Carl Fink wrote about Num lock disables alt- and ctrl-key shortcuts? [This message has also been posted.] I've just noticed that both Adobe's Acrobat Reader 3 and RealMedia's Realplayer G2 have an interesting behavior: if NumLock is activated, their keyboard shortcuts that require shifted keys, like Alt-F for the File menu or ^P for Print, don't work. On the other hand, StarOffice 5.1's shortcuts work fine with NumLock on. I'd like to report the bug, but I'm not sure to whom. Since it appears in other apps, but not StarOffice, I'm suspecting it's in some X library. (StarOffice uses its own libraries for many functions, which might explain why it's immune.) Anyone out there have an insight as to where this should be reported? Running slink with a couple of potato packages, XFree86 3.3.2.3. Thanks. What does 'xmodmap -pm' show? Mine gives: shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lockCaps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71) mod2Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4Meta_L (0x73), Meta_R (0x74) mod5Scroll_Lock (0x4e) Notice Num_Lock is assigned to mod2. This means that the Num_Lock key is a modifier key just like shift, ctrl, alt. So if Num_Lock is on then if you use Alt-F you are really doing Num_Lock-Alt-F. If you don't want Num_Lock to be a modifier you can disable it with xmodmap. xmodmap -e clear mod2 See the xmodmap man page for more info. Debian's default X setup will read ~/.Xmodmap on startup so if you put 'clear mod2'(no quotes) in that file it will be taken care of automatically. -- Brian - Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis -

make-kpkg doesn't make different kernel source revs.
Hello Why is that when I build a new kernel via make-kpkg, it doesn't make a new kernel rev. Scenario: Previously, I built a new kernel using: make-kpkg --rev Custom.1.0 kernel_image This command built my kernel and put an file in my /usr/src directory called. kernel-image-2.0.36_1.00_i386.deb. Then I built a newer kernel using: make-kpkg --rev Custom.2.0 kernel_image This command did change the date on the existing kernel package but did not call it kernel-image-2.0.36_2.00_i386.deb nor did it put the word custom in file name either. Is this the way this thing is supposed to work? Other simple questions: 1. When I used to do regular kernel builds, I used to do a make dep; make clean; make zImage, make modules; make modules_install. If I build kernels the debian way (aka make-kpkg), do I still need to do this? How about cleaning or rebuilding the dependicy list? ie. do I need to a make clean; make dep before I do the make-kpkg? 2. Does apt-get dist-upgrade get new kernel patches? Is there a way to get new kernel patches?
