Diald

1999-09-20 Thread Angel Vicente Perez
Hola a todos...

Me encuentro en un apurillo: sin saber que es lo que he hecho, el diald ha
dejado de funcionar.
Ahora mismo me falta el dispositivo slip que necesita diald, y no consigo
crearlo. Antes lo tenia, y el diald se quejaba de que los parametros pasados
a ifconfig no eran validos.

¿Alguien sabe como arrancarlo? es la version 0.98.2 y los kernel 2.2.9 y
2.2.10.

Gracias de antemano y saludos.

P.D. ¿Existe alguna alternativa a diald?


HtDig y bichos de parecido pelaje

1999-09-20 Thread Han Solo
Hola a todos.

Resulta que esoy montando un indexador en un servidor que va a jaubilar a un
RedHat 4.0. Viendo las opciones posibles, me había decidido por el htdig,
pero, aunque hace muchas cosas y tiene opciones muy interesantes, resulta
quen le falta una que para mí es fundamental: no es capaz de indexar
regiones del texto, o lo que es lo mismo, catalogar sólo la parte contenida
entre dos marcas. Por más que me he leido la documentación de htdig, no he
visto que se pueda hacer (he probado con la de Slink y la de potato, aunque
de esta última no he llegado a mirar la documentación tan a fondo). El
servidor condenado a desaparecer tiene un indexador llamado SFgate, pero la
versión más moderna que he encontrado de él es del año 94, y en formato
.tgz, así que asumo que es una especie ya extinguida. El caso es que este
indexador sí era capaz de catalogar sólo entre marcas del texto, lo cual es
fundamental para nosotros.

La pregunta entonces es: ¿puede alguien confirmarme que el HtDig es incapaz
de indexar areas del texto? ¿Existe algún otro indexador de páginas web que
sea capaz de hacerlo y que venga como paquete debian? ¿Busco alguna gota de
ámbar con ADN del SFgate para intentar resucitar la especie?

Si para ti no es demasiado complejo, puedes crearte un external
parser y añadirlo a la configuración del dig:
external_parsers: chemical/x-pdb /usr/java/bin/java chemical.Htdigfront 
Mírate los parsers que hay en http://www.htdig.org/contrib/ y la
info sobre external parsers (puede ser tan sencillo de hacer como lanzar un
awk adecuadamente condimentado).

Yo uso bastante htdig (quiero decir: que lo he montado y me preocupé
bastante de configurarlo convenientemente :-), y no me suena nada de nada
que pueda hacer eso. ¿Probaste swish-e o swish++? Vienen los dos con Debian
y por lo que he mirado, es probable que sí hagan eso :-m

Por otro lado, lo que también puedes hacer es seguir usando htdig pero
definir un filtro para todos los ficheros, como si fuera para
descomprimirlos (pero siendo .html, por ejemplo), que llame a sed como sea,
para devolver a htdig sólo lo que haya entre esas marcas que dices. La
indexación sería más lenta, pero si no son muchos muchos MB la cosa la
puedes resolver así.

Si tuviera que aventurar algo diría que es un fichero

Sobre el tcl de potato

 Buenas!

 Veo en freshmeat  un pogamita muy chulo llamado  sketch, que me
 recuerda a mi querido CorelDRAW. En la sección de download advierto
 con alegría que alguien se ha tomado el currelo de hacer un paquete
 .deb  y  sigo el  link  que  me envía  a  la  página de  debian.org
 relevante. Sigo  las dependencias y entonces  ¿qué me encuentro?...
 que existe un  tcl8.0 y un tcl8.2, y que  además es necesario tener
 los dos instalados a la vez.

 ¿Cómo puede ser esto? ¿Es que tcl8.0 tiene algo que tcl8.2 no?

Reuni'on sobre Debian?

1999-09-20 Thread Jesus M. Gonzalez-Barahona

Hola,

En noviembre, los d'ias 5 y 6, tendr'a lugar en Madrid el
congreso anual de Hispalinux (m'as info en
http://congreso.hispalinux.es). Creo que ser'ia un buen momento para
organizar una peque~na reuni'on sobre Debian, abierta a quien se
quiera apuntar, para la gente del 'area de Madrid (Espa~na), y otros
que se puedan acercar. Posiblemente, alg'un desarrollador quiera
contarnos alguna cosa sobre potato, o sobre los paquetes en los que ha 
trabajado. Alguien podr'ia contar tambi'en c'omo hacer paquetes, o
similares. Y a mi me gustar'ia discutir formas de darle un nuevo
impulso a la traducci'on de Debian (tanto la documentaci'on y el Web
como algunos paquetes). E incluso se podr'ian discutir en directo
otras ideas que han surgido 'ultimamente en esta lista (versiones
actualizadas de slink, paquetes para localizaci'on de Debian en
espa~nol, etc.).

Por supuesto, nos podr'iamos tomar tambi'en algo, firmarnos
nuestras claves PGP, y cosas similares. Y me comprometo a hacer un
resumen, y a recoger sugerencias por correo-e, para que los que no se
puedan desplazar puedan participar de alguna manera (qui'zas podamos
conseguir un ordenata para tener un IRC simult'aneo, o algo por el
estilo).

En fin, ?qu'e os parece? ?Lo organizamos? ?Cu'antos
desarrolladores se podr'ian venir? ?Y no desarrolladores?

Que sea leve,

Jesus.

  (incluye petición de ponencias para el congreso virtual)


--- Tendrá lugar en

Universidad Carlos III, Madrid, España, 5 y 6 de noviembre de 1999


--- Organizado por

Hispalinux 
http://www.hispalinux.es/


--- Con la colaboración de

GUL (Grupo de Usuarios Linux de la Universidad Carlos III)
http://gul.aig.uc3m.es
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
http://www.uc3m.es/


--- Tema del congreso

Asuntos relacionados con el software libre y/o GNU/Linux.

Por ejemplo serán bienvenidas presentaciones sobre:

. Desarrollos de (o basados en) software libre.
. Experiencias de uso de software libre y/o GNU/Linux en la 
  empresa, Universidad, etc.
. Descripción del funcionamiento de proyectos relacionados
  con el software libre (de desarrollo, empaquetamiento,
  documentación, traducción, promoción, etc.)
. Influencia del software libre en la tecnología, la 
  sociedad, etc., incluyendo aspectos sociales y económicos.
. Investigación y uso de nuevas tecnologías con software libre.


--- Qué hacer para asistir

La asistencia al congreso será gratuita. Información sobre inscripciones,
etc. puede encontrarse en la URL del congreso.


--- Qué hacer para participar con una ponencia

Invitamos a todos los investigadores, desarrolladores y en general, 
interesados en el mundo de GNU/Linux y el software libre. Cualquier
contribución puede enviarse en los formatos detallados más abajo a
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]


--- Formatos y otras condiciones

Para cada contribución propuesta, se enviará un artículo que detalle
el tema que se va a tratar, con la profundidad que se considere 
conveniente (usualmente, entre 2.000 y 5.000 palabras). Las
contribuciones estarán preferentemente escritas en LaTeX, usando el
estilo del Congreso. En la URL del congreso se podrá encontrar este
estilo, e información básica sobre cómo escribir un documento con
LaTeX. En caso de que haya motivos fundados para no poder usar LaTeX,
podrían ser aceptados otros formatos (HTML y PDF, por ejemplo).

Las contribuciones recibidas serán revisadas y seleccionadas por
el comité de programa del congreso, y los autores serán notificados antes 
de la fecha indicada sobre su aceptación.


--- Fechas límite

Fecha límite para las contribuciones: 15 de octubre

Notificación de aceptación de la ponencia: 25 de octubre


--- Publicación de las ponencias

Las contribuciones que sean aceptadas serán publicadas en el Web
de Hispalinux, en los anales del congreso, y serán expuestas por uno 
de sus autores en el congreso, según el horario que se detallará en 
su momento.


--- Congreso virtual

Si el autor de una ponencia aceptada por el comité de programa no se
puede desplazar al lugar donde se celebra el congreso para presentarla 
personalmente, o si el comité de programa lo estima oportuno, la
ponencia se incluirá como parte del congreso virtual. Esto supondrá
su inclusión en las páginas Web y en los anales del congreso,

La idea del congreso virtual es dar la oportunidad a los autores con
dificultadas para desplazarse al lugar del congreso de que expongan
sus ideas, y contribuyan con sus ponencias de todas formas. Con ello
se pretende también ampliar los autores potenciales a cualquier
hispanohablante.


--- Idioma del congreso

El idioma oficial del congreso será el español. Los autores deberán
realizar sus ponencias en este idioma, salvo casos especiales
considerados por el comité de programa.


--- Más información

Agradeceria que me comentase como lo hizo.

Seguí las instrucciones del paquete (el script de configuración) y
luego una vez instalado todo me puse a definir `ou' y `cn'. Copié de

Yo lo estoy accediendo (el ldap) a través del GQ (un programa para

install operating system kernel and modules problem

1999-09-20 Thread Roger Weinheimer
This is my question and Bob Hilliard's response. Unfortunately, neither of
his suggestions worked. Is 'instmnt' a literal string or just a placeholder?
Can anyone help me with this. Many thanks.

 Ok. Next stupid question:

 I'm hung up on the following step in the debian dbootsrap process. I'm
 installing from a local disk. Mac68k.

 Partition table:
 ...
 /dev/sda2 no  driver 4.3
 /dev/sda3 yes linux swap
 /dev/sda4 yes linux native/target
 /dev/sda5 yes linux native/target/usr
 /dev/sda6 yes linux native/target/home
 /dev/sda7 no  free

 /dev/sdb1 no  hfs (debian archive is here)
 /dev/sdb2 no  partition map
 /dev/sdb3 no  driver 4.3
 /dev/sdb4 no  free

 I get to the screen where I'm supposed to give it the path to the debian
 archive. No matter what I enter, nothing happpens. Are the following
literal
 strings? I'm not offered choices as the help file suggests. The screen
 pops up with '/debian' as the default path.

 /instmnt/debian/.finderinfo

 /instmnt/debian/.resource

 /instmnt/debian

 Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Then again, maybe I'll
 answer my own question again.

 I haven't made a new installation in years (my last installation
was for bo), and don't know anything about the current boot disks, so
my guess may not be helpful.  I would try `/instmnt/debian/dev/sdb1'
or `/instmnt/dev/sdb1'.  If neither of those work, try the same without
the `/instmnt'.

Is /dev/sdb1 mounted? What is the output of mount (with no arguments)?

You probably have to Alt-F2 to a new vt and mount /dev/sdb1 somewhere,
then specify the path to the debian archive from there. This is how I
installed the base system on my PC. In my case, the base_21.tgz file was
on a dos partition, which I had to mount manually first.

xfree 3.3.4 for slink and dpkg

1999-09-20 Thread Damir J. Naden
Hi,

I have just tried upgrading the xfree by manually downloading and upgrading
the xfree packages. I have downloaded all of the packages I need from
Branden's ftp site ( _Thanks_ Branden for slink packages), and xfree86-common
had upgraded smoothly (from 3.3.2.3a-11 version, running on slink and 2.2.10
kernel), but xbase-clients wouldn't upgrade until I removed all my fonts
packages from 3.3.2.3a-11. Then it worked, but failed with the message:
broken pipe
(this was right after it complained about the xconsole.real file which
belongs to xaw-wrapper package- I don't know if two are related). My
questions:
*has anyone upgraded sucessfully from 3.3.2.3a-11 to 3.3.4 on slink
*did anyone tried dpkg --install filename to do this, or is anyone using apt
only ( I may be a bit outdated here, but I like the manual installation- call
me a control freak :-))
*is this a bug or is it me doing something wrong (much more likely)
Any help appreciated, let me know if I left anything important out ( I didn't
use xbase_* only package because I am already using a slink-approved version
of xfree packages).

EXIM CONFIG

hi and thanks in advance to anyone who can help...

i use exim, fetchmail, and mutt to handle mail over a dial-up/ppp
connection. i have followed all the appropriate configuration
recommendations from the linux gazette #43 article which was cited on this
list a while ago. everything works well except removing the sender header.
my exim.conf file has 

remote_smtp:
 driver = SMTP
 headers_remove = sender
 transport_filter =  /usr/local/bin/outfilt
end

as the last paragraph in the transports section, and yet the sender header
is not removed from my outgoing mail (causing problems with some mail
recipients). Any ideas? thanks again,

OK, I'm currently running the next release of Exim and the conf file
was changed slightly but that didn't seem to cause you a problem...

 Here is My /etc/exim.conf file for the server (edited as per your email)
 --
 # MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
 qualify_domain = JJLNet

You may want to also have (I think)

qualify_domain = Sith.JJLNet

qualify_recipient = Sith.JJLNet

so that if say cron mails root, then the mail will end up at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (or whatever account root is redirected to)

 local_domains = localhost:JJLNet:Sith:Rankor:Rankor.JJLNet

you could say (without expanding the star yourself)

local_domains = localhost:*.JJLNet

 local_domains_include_host = true
 local_domains_include_host_literals = true
 host_lookup_nets = 0.0.0.0/0
 sender_net_accept_relay = 192.168.2.0/24
^
I assume you meant that and didn't miss-type 192.168.1.0 :)

 
 PROBLEM #1. When I try to send mail out through the ISP, the address
 Isn't getting rewritten correctly. Its getting sent through remote_smtp,
 and you can see that that guy should go through /usr/bin/outfilt (from
 the posted URL). I've included the outfilt just below, and have tested it
 by redirecting a fake peice of mail through there: It seems to work by
 hand... I suspect what I have to do here is actually add some rewrite code
 to the exim.conf to get the envelope headers. =/

Yep, your right

[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] F
 ^  
as we need to rewrite the From field as opposed to the From: field!

This is assuming you added qualify_recipient = Sith.JJLNet to exim.conf

If you don't add this, then I guess it would be 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] F

 PROBLEM #2. You'll notice that I havent tackled the transport of local mail
 to the workstation yet.  That is the last part of the puzzle.  I need to
 get the mail from the server to the workstation (possibly with a .forward).
 Does anyone know the best way to handle this? It is starting to look to me
 like I just need to setup the server to route all mail directed to
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the workstation, and have the workstation exim
 handle it from there. (The server can act as the workstations smarthost
 in that configuration, I think). 

Depends how fetchmail is set up I guess. If you have something like:
user jjlupa is jon here

then you would use in a .forward file:

if $header_to: contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
   $header_to: contains [EMAIL PROTECTED]
then deliver [EMAIL PROTECTED]
endif

and read it locally at Rankor. MS-Win users can get the mail from a 
POP3 daemon on Sith.JJLNet (or what other mail server you like).

 handle it from there. (The server can act as the workstations smarthost
 in that configuration, I think).
Yes.

PS. stumpel.html deals with the case of a network where many users use
one email account. If that is not required, you could do away with the
outfilt stuff and just have this rewrite rule:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] bcfrFs
  ^^ again, depending on qualify recipient etc.

plip problems ahoy

1999-09-20 Thread Matthew Dalton
Hi there,
I've been trying to install Debian 2.1 on my
laptop, which has no cdrom or network card. Debian's base system was
easy to install (using floppies). I've been trying to set up a PLIP
link, so I can ftp the rest of the system over.

My setup is unusual:

+---+
| laptop: comet |
+---+
   |  192.168.2.2 (plip1)
   |
 laplink cable
   |
   |  192.168.2.1 (plip0)
+--+
| headless box: saturn |
+--+
|  192.168.1.1 (eth0)
|
ethernet
|
|  192.168.1.13 (eth0)
   ++
   | desktop: earth |
   ++


comet is running Debian 2.1 (kernel 2.0.36, glibc 2.0.7)
saturn is running RH5.2 (kernel 2.2.10, glibc 2.0.7)
earth is running RH5.2 (kernel 2.2.6, glibc 2.0.7)

Earth is the only computer which has a cdrom drive. I wish to connect
comet to saturn though, because PLIP requires that IP forwarding be
enabled in the kernel (according to the PLIP mini-HOWTO... is it
correct?). Saturn also acts as a gateway for IP-Masqerading, and so
already has support for IP forwarding. I don't want to compile support
for this into earth's kernel (also, configuring PLIP between comet and
saturn will allow me to access the internet through saturn via the
laplink cable later on...).

(I'm don't have access to any of these systems right now, so the
following might not be exact :/ )

PLIP seems to be working okay between comet and saturn. Pings work both
ways, and I can telnet/ftp from comet to saturn (but not the other way
because telnetd and ftpd aren't installed).

Routes have been added:
comet:
- saturn is the default gateway, plip1 is the defaultroute

saturn:
- all packets to 192.168.1.x go to eth0
- all packets to 192.168.2.x go to plip0

earth:
- saturn is the default gateway, eth0 is the defaultroute

Sorry, I don't have the output from route -n. I'll post it tomorrow if
required.

* saturn can ping comet and earth
* earth can ping saturn and comet
* comet can ping saturn but NOT earth!

It is mostly working, but the most crucial link, the one I need to get
access to a cdrom, is the one that doesn't work. Can anyone tell me what
could be wrong?

Thanks,
Matthew

ps. Please don't tell me to remove the cdrom from earth and install it
in saturn ;)


Re: startx (after upgrade) dials modem before running X (fixed)

1999-09-20 Thread markzimm
In case anyone os interested, the problem turned out to be some spurious
entries in my .Xauthority file.  While poking around looking for the cause
of the dialout, I did a 'xauth list' and got back about a dozen lines
of stuff, including some entries for 192.168.0.1, which doesn't exist on my
network. Apparently there was an attempt at a reverse name lookup for it.

In any event, deleting the .Xauthority file took care of it. I don't know
where all of the other entries came from -- I have been using X on one
platform or another for about 10 years and I recall seeing this once, and

does perl support secure http?

1999-09-20 Thread Shao Zhang
Hi,
I am writing a perl script to fetch some info from a URL.
But the protocol is HTTPS rather than HTTP.

And perl does not seem to understand the following:

$URL =https://secure.url.com/;;
@content = split(/\n/, get($URL));

The error looks like following:

Can't locate HTML/HeadParser.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.004 /usr/lib/perl5 
/usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux

GEN0 chunk
6.  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/usr/lib/perl5/LWP/UserAgent.pm line 106,  GEN0 chunk 6.

Will perl5 support secure http?

Thanks.

Shao.

Sound Apps only work as root??

1999-09-20 Thread John Foster
I have recently installed the OSS sound systems from 4front

root it will work as another user. I can deal with that. The next thing
I noticed is that all the sound software, except the cd players do not
seem to work as any user except root. The sound system is the newest
addition to my server here and I want to be able to use all the Linux
sound apps to record and paly music, and other types of sound files. Any
herlp is greatly appreciated. BTW I have RTFM several times. 
System Specs Dual pentium 233MMX system running Debain Linux SMP kernel

sound card is Sound Origins 32Y  (Yamaha OPL3-SA2) this is a multi

You need to be part of group audio. Use vigr to edit /etc/group.
Add all users who you want to use the sound system to this group.

transparent webbrowser

1999-09-20 Thread Seth R Arnold
Hola to the List once again.

Quick query -- I am fairly taken by Eterm (I don't know how to procede with
aterm, the Unix98 ptys scare me a bit -- any hints on that?) and its
transparency. So, I started thinking about how nice it would be for netscape
to be transparent too.

Does anyone know of a way to make any graphical webrowser transparent? Maybe
I should suggest it to rasterman... :)

Back to the grind... thanks List. :)

RE: install operating system kernel and modules problem

the debian directory that I created and exists in MacOS 8.1. If I can't see
my debian directory, I'm not surprised dbootstrap doesn't either. Is there a
trick I'm missing? At this point, I have a debian source directory on two
different macos drives (sdb1 and sdc1). These are the only hard drives
connected to the system other than the target (sda).

Is /dev/sdb1 mounted? What is the output of mount (with no arguments)?

You probably have to Alt-F2 to a new vt and mount /dev/sdb1 somewhere,
then specify the path to the debian archive from there. This is how I
installed the base system on my PC. In my case, the base_21.tgz file was
on a dos partition, which I had to mount manually first.

  Ok. Next stupid question:
 
  I'm hung up on the following step in the debian dbootsrap process. I'm
  installing from a local disk. Mac68k.
 
  Partition table:
  ...
  /dev/sda2 no  driver 4.3
  /dev/sda3 yes linux swap

  /dev/sdb1 no  hfs (debian archive is here)
  /dev/sdb2 no  partition map
  /dev/sdb3 no  driver 4.3
  /dev/sdb4 no  free
 
  I get to the screen where I'm supposed to give it the path to the debian
  archive. No matter what I enter, nothing happpens. Are the following
 literal
  strings? I'm not offered choices as the help file suggests. The screen
  pops up with '/debian' as the default path.
 
  /instmnt/debian/.finderinfo
 
  /instmnt/debian/.resource
 
  /instmnt/debian
 
  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Then again, maybe I'll
  answer my own question again.

  I haven't made a new installation in years (my last installation
 was for bo), and don't know anything about the current boot disks, so
 my guess may not be helpful.  I would try `/instmnt/debian/dev/sdb1'
 or `/instmnt/dev/sdb1'.  If neither of those work, try the same without
 the `/instmnt'.

RE: install operating system kernel and modules problem

1999-09-20 Thread Roger Weinheimer
I thought I'd be clever. Hah! Boot into MacOS. Delete 'debian' directory
from sdc--I still have it on sdb. Run penguin from sdb. Mount sdc1. Mkdir
'debian' on sdc1. That worked. Reboot into MacOS. Copy contents of
sdb/debian into sdc/debian--which I know I can see in linux. Only problem
is, I can't see 'debian' directory created in linux when booted in MacOS. I
obviously have a lot to learn about file systems. I thought maybe linux
would be able to create the directory such that it is readable in MacOS. Of
course the root of my problem seems to be that MacOS doesn't create a
directory readable in linux. What's a fella to do short of going out and
buying the cd? That would be too easy. ;-)

Is /dev/sdb1 mounted? What is the output of mount (with no arguments)?

You probably have to Alt-F2 to a new vt and mount /dev/sdb1 somewhere,
then specify the path to the debian archive from there. This is how I
installed the base system on my PC. In my case, the base_21.tgz file was
on a dos partition, which I had to mount manually first.

  Ok. Next stupid question:
 
  I'm hung up on the following step in the debian dbootsrap process. I'm
  installing from a local disk. Mac68k.
 
  Partition table:
  ...
  /dev/sda2 no  driver 4.3
  /dev/sda3 yes linux swap
  /dev/sda4 yes linux native/target
  /dev/sda5 yes linux native/target/usr
  /dev/sda6 yes linux native/target/home
  /dev/sda7 no  free
 
  /dev/sdb1 no  hfs (debian archive is here)
  /dev/sdb2 no  partition map
  /dev/sdb3 no  driver 4.3
  /dev/sdb4 no  free
 
  I get to the screen where I'm supposed to give it the path to the debian
  archive. No matter what I enter, nothing happpens. Are the following
 literal
  strings? I'm not offered choices as the help file suggests. The screen
  pops up with '/debian' as the default path.
 
  /instmnt/debian/.finderinfo
 
  /instmnt/debian/.resource
 
  /instmnt/debian
 
  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Then again, maybe I'll
  answer my own question again.

  I haven't made a new installation in years (my last installation
 was for bo), and don't know anything about the current boot disks, so
 my guess may not be helpful.  I would try `/instmnt/debian/dev/sdb1'
 or `/instmnt/dev/sdb1'.  If neither of those work, try the same without
 the `/instmnt'.

If linux actually supports the filesystem that MacOS uses properly, there should
be no problem creating directories in either OS and have the other OS read it
all right. This is how it is with DOS/Linux. Maybe the linux drivers for the
MacOS filesystem are not mature (ie buggy)?

Maybe you can test on your machine if the services are dying at the moment

Hi,

I noticed that when running fvwm2 (or fvwm) after a few window
drags, the screen gets corrupted.  The wierd thing is that I
do not see this problem when using wmaker at all.

Has anyone else ever seen this problem?  If so, any clues would
be helpful.  Perhaps fvwm/2 exercises the X Server more than the
other WMs, and I my XF86Config isn't as correct as I thought
it was?  Everything else (even Enlightenment) appears to work
OK.

Strange...

Yes it may be.  The normal keyboard map slink uses, did not allow me to

not check xemacs on the original keymap. 

To compensate for the problem I use emacs on the console and xemacs on X.

Hi,
It appears that getting these SB PnP CD-ROMs has been 
difficult for several newbies, including myself.  I finally got mine working

by installing from a DOS partition.  I duplicated the directory structure 
of the first Debian CD on my DOS partition, included the *.deb files in 
some of the more important-sounding subdirectories (base, utils), 
and pointed dselect to my hard drive.  Once I got enough installed 
to enable gcc, I used the module written by Jeff Epler (thanks!), found
at:

http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/README.ide

My CD-ROM works like a charm now, and I can get dselect to 
install from CD.  It wasn't exactly elegent, but I was getting desparate.

Compilation prob

1999-09-20 Thread Menno Scholten
Hi there,

I don't know if this te right place to ask this question, but I'll try
anyway :)

I am having a little trouble compiling the new Kernel. I did everything
according to the manual ( HOWTO ) and after make config, make dep,
and make clean the kernel started compiling with make zImage.
However during the process I get an error. This is what is sais:

Make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
as86 -0 -a o bootsect.o bootsect.s
Make[1]: as86: Command not found
Make[1]: *** [bootsect.o] Error 127
Make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
Make: *** [zImage] Error 2

I figured out what this means, but I don't have a clue as to what the
solution to this problem would be. Is it due to a corrupt Makefile ? How
do I get the command as86 ? Anyway I'm hoping anyone could help me.

I read the changes file in /usr/src/linux/Documentation about what
versions I need. I updated the packages I had but still the problem
occured. If I haven't got some of the packages, is that a problem ? I
didn't think so, but I just want to know for sure. The ones I have are
up to date.

I am using an 486/100 as linux box, with the latest Debian slink. The
kernel I am trying to compile is version 2.2.9.

Thnx, Menno


P.S. If I made some errors regarding my English, forgive me, I'm doing
the best I can :)

Re: Compilation prob

1999-09-20 Thread Shao Zhang

Hi Menno,

To compile the kernel you need the bin86 package, you
can get it as normal using apt-get install bin86 or
by downloading the package from the debian homepage
and installing it with dpkg -i bin86*.deb.

Also (and someone plz correct me if I'm wrong) but for compiling
the 2.2 kernel you should use

make bzImage

 I read the changes file in /usr/src/linux/Documentation about what

 occured. If I haven't got some of the packages, is that a problem ? I
 didn't think so, but I just want to know for sure. The ones I have are

Re: mutt: help with saving a messge to a different folder

1999-09-20 Thread David Wright
Quoting Shao Zhang ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 Hi,
   This is the first thing that I come up with. But it still does not
   meet what I need...
 
   In mutt, when the first TAB pressed for changing the folders,

Perhaps this is your problem. As I said, I use the c command to change
inbox. After pressing c, you are prompted with the next inbox containing
new mail (strictly, mail which arrived after you last visited the inbox,
which is not quite the same thing).

Pressing tab several times at this point has the following effects:

Press
1.  changes the text of the prompt but with the same default.
2.  attempts completion, but as it's (obviously) complete, it
displays a buffer with the sole completed inbox name.
3.  displays a buffer with all the inbox names.
4.  displays a buffer with the directory contents.

3 and 4 now alternate. You can escape with ^G at first, and then q
(once it starts displaying a buffer).

It never scans the messages in any of the files.

  [...] it
   will read all the folders from $Mailbox varaible(good), but if I
   accidently press another TAB, it will read the folders from
   $folder. My ~/Mail directory is about 200MB big, and mutt will
   just take a long time to scan them.

If you mean you have a truly colossal number of old mail folders, then
I recommend you put inboxes in one directory and old mail folders in
a separate one. The latter are never seen with this sequence of commands.
If you mean inboxes, there's not any more I can suggest, except to press
the c and to avoid pressing tab.

Cheers,

And all the saved mails in ~/Mail.

 a separate one. The latter are never seen with this sequence of commands.

Yes. I can make it unseen to mutt. But I also want mutt to give
me a default filename to save in ~/Mail not in ~/mail.

ok, let me re-make myself clear with my situation.

I read all my mails in ~/mail/Inbox. When reading your msg and I want to
save it, I press 's', and I want mutt to give me a default filename like
this: ~/Mail/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

However, ~/Mail has over 3000 folders already, and I simply cannot
afford mutt to scan this directory at all. Therefore, the following
won't work for me:

mailboxes = ~/mail/Inbox
set folder = ~/Mail


Cheers,

Shao.

Re: wierd 'su' error message

Quoting Seth R Arnold ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 Hey guys -- I just did a 'su' on my computer to get to root from user, and I
 got this following error message:
 
 $ su
 Password: 
 shell-init: could not get current directory:
 [0306]:841729ßßß:
  No such file or directory
 
 Those betas there continue for 39 lines. I trimmed it a bit.
 
 Now, I am pretty sure that the user account was sitting a directory that got
 deleted, but .. this is wierd. :)

Presumably the first error message is because it can't find the directory
it thinks it ought to be in, but what's in .bashrc for root, which should
be what's executed next.

The one place I've seen wadges of betas is in .bash_history. I don't
know what puts them in there (or perhaps into the history buffer itself),
but they normally have a command at the end of the line of betas.

RE: /dev/lp1 bad configured

1999-09-20 Thread Paul McHale
Lorenz,

This may be an erroneous answer, but on my system it is lp0.  As I
understand it, /dev/lp0 translates to LPT1:.  Unless you have two parallel
ports, you might not have a valid /dev/lp1 (LPT2:).  Could this be the
problem ?  I think mine gave the same error when I tried to print to it ...

One-time password for PPP dialup

What's the best way to deal with one-time password for dialup (PPP)
accounts?

I generate new codes for each time I dial-in to work, and as of now I have
written a small Perl wrapper that manually edits the PPP password file each

I've configured the dialup with pppconfig and is calling with pon.

Debian is stopping to use it. The only document that is not updated
is the Debian policy, although the change has been accepted, see 
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/32/32448.html. Also look at 'man 5
rc.boot', /usr/doc/sysvinit/README.runlevels.gz and
http://www.debian.org/lintian/reports/Tpackage-installs-into-etc-rc.boot.html.

The correct procedure is to put the script in /etc/init.d with a .sh
extension and link to it from /etc/rcS.d.
