He probado mi Adaptec 2940W en otro equipo y funciona de maravilla, no tanto como una Ultra-Wide pero funciona. Por todo esto creo que se trata de la placa base porque las dos controladoras no funcionan en esta placa base, pero si en otras placas. En cuanto a la posibilidad del Kernel la he descartado porque se trata del disco de instalación, y en hace unos meses arranqué con él el equipo y funcionó perfectamente. La opción de los terminadores 3/4 de lo mismo, además también realicé la prueba quitando la cinta de los dispositivos. La configuración de la Bios, bien sea de la SCSI o de la Placa Base, tampoco. Desde la última vez que funcionó la SCSI no he variado nada, no obstante he probado configuraciones por defecto y creo que alguna que otra cosa más. Por todo esto creo que el problema es la placa base, y el problemón que tendré para explicar que con Microchoff funciona y que con Linux presenta fallos. Veremos dónde me envian!!! Pues eso no me parece normal. Algo se te está pasando. Consigue un buen disquete de rescate. Por ejemplo TOMSRTB. No recuerdo la url pero la puedes encontrar en la seccion de minidistribuciones de 'donde linux' http://www.ciberdroide.com Despues arranca con el y pruebas a montar las particiones controladas por tu tarjeta SCSI. Es una buena forma de probar con un kernel que no debe darte problemas. Si eso tambien falla ya sabes que tienes que concentrarte en un problema de Hardware. En este sentido te recuerdo que los problemas ocasionados por una mala configuracion del bus SCSI son muy desconcertantes. Te pueden funcionar las cosas aparentemente bien y un buendía te empieza a dar problemas. Comprueba que tu bus está terminado correctamente.

Re: Reuni'on sobre Debian?
Jesus M. Gonzalez-Barahona propuso: 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.). Pues yo también me apunto. Solo tienen que decirme la fecha fija algunas semanas antes para poder organizar mi viaje desde Porto. Probablemente muchos otros como yo andamos varios años pensado en convertirnos desarrolladores de debian, pero como deben saber, para alguien que no sea conocido de otro que ya sea desarrollador el trámite burocrático es complicado. Una reunión de estas serviria también para que los que ya están en el grupo nos conozcan y nos ayuden a formar un grupo grande de desarrolladores de debian hisponoparlantes. Espero que se concretize y que nos veamos en Madrid. Jaime Villate

El controlador falla silenciosamente y sndconfig
Hola, amigos: He tenido problemas para instalar tanto Redhat 6.0 como la Citius de Linux Actual. Parece que el problema era debido a mi CD-ROM, que ya he cambiado por un Samsung 32X. Puedo instalar la RedHAt6.0 pero no la Citius. Gracias a la inestimable ayuda de Tinguaro Barreno he sabido que, aunque ni en la revista ni en las instrucciones del CD (que todo lo mas hacían referencia al método dpkg-multicd), existe el método apt-cdrom, que sale en el dselect si descomprimes el fichero add-ons.tgz en el directorio raíz. Pues bien, el problema es que al instalar con el CD no me sale el método apt-CDROM, así que instalo un sistema base con el deselect (da varias pasadas y tarda mucho) y luego, una vez instalado éste, descomprimo add-ons.tgz en el directorio raíz. Me sale en el dselect el método apt-CDROM. Sin embargo cuando lo selecciono y empieza a leer el primer CD, etc. me dice El controlador ha fallado silenciosamente. ¿Alguien sabe qué significa? ¿Es un problema del controlador IDE del CDROM (lo he puesto de master en la IDE2, pero me decía lo mismo como esclavo de IDE1)o he hecho algo mal? He instalado la REDHat6.0 sin problemas,y aunque es comodísima de instalar (se instala sola),se me queda corta de aplicaciones: por ejemplo, no lleva LyX ni kLyX, que me interesan para confeccionar mis apuntes. ¡Ah! otra cosa. ¿Alguien sabe si en debian hay alguna utiliadad para configurar mi tarjeta dse sonido (SB16 Vibra PnP) de una manera tan fácil y sencilla como la sndconfig de RedHat?

\listoftables
\listoffigures
\include{capitulos/capitulo1}

[corte] No se si te puede ayudar mi experiencia, pero yo tengo un sistema muy parecido. Mis discos duros son del mismo tamaño, y en el principal tengo a dos+win95. El secundario, lo tenía dividido en 5 particiones. Y la última y más grande, la reduje con el FIPS para darle un GB a Linux. Para arrancar linux en el segundo disco duro, lo hago desde disquete, o con el loadlin, tras pulsar F8 mientras arranco DOS (algo que ya hace una burrada de tiempo que no hago X-))). La ventaja es que el segundo disco duro yo lo usaba de 'esclavo' para algún jueguillo y copias de seguridad. Te lo digo, porque instalar Linux por primera vez es más llevadero si sabes que ese disco duro que puedes estropear potencialmente, contiene información prescindible. Después de ejecutar el CD-ROM de instalación de Debian (activando esa opción en la BIOS) y configurar el teclado... ¡no sé cómo seguir con la instalación!. ¡Pues tú dirás en qué paso te quedas! ¿Qué es lo que te aparece en pantalla, o qué es lo que no te deja continuar? Por favor, ayúdenme tan pronto como les sea posible a instalar Linux. No sé qué debo hacer en el menú del CFDISK, después de elegir partition the hard disk en el menú de la instalación. Eso es porque el FIPS lo único que hace es reducir una partición FAT ya existente a un tamaño menor. Tras esto, con el fdisk que te presenta debian en su instalación, debes crear una unidad nativa Linux, y precisamente ese espacio que te ha dado FIPS, lo usas para la nueva unidad. Recuerda dejar un poco (de 20 a 50 megas según tu configuración) para una partición secundaria de linux de swap, que también es necesaria. Si no me acuerdo mal, las particiones que debes crear tienen el número 82, 83 o algo así en las opciones del fdisk de linux. Pero lo mejor será que uses la ayuda del programa para que te diga los números correctos que debes usar (creo que 'h' o '?'). Y otra pregunta: ¿podría el disco duro secundario (maestro secundario) perder información aun no seleccionándolo en ninguna de las opciones de la instalación?. Que yo sepa no. Es más, hasta que no hagas el fdisk, no pasará nada, y si no te equivocas en las opciones, ningúna partición existente sufrirá.

Boot-floppies - Correção necessária!
Pessoal o Marcus Brito me avisou que ocorriam problemas com símbolos durante o uso do Ping, ifconfig, etc. O problema está em TODAS as versões do sistema de instalação da Debian (boot-floppies) em Português. A correção é simples: basta copiar do ftp da debian e instalar o seguinte pacote: ftp://ftp.br.debian.org /debian/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/base/netbase_3.11-1.2.deb a instalação pode ser feita com dpkg -i netbase_3.11-1.2.deb Este problema ocorreu por causa da localização do diretório proposed updates em meu micro, ele estava utilizando o arquivo incorreto para instalação. Eu fiz a checagem da lista de pacotes da Slink com a lista de pacotes disponíveis em meu micro e o único arquivo usado incorretamente na compilação foi este. Peço a todos que instalaram do seu sistema Debian a partir do sistema de instalação em Português, que atualizem este arquivo. Os arquivos afetados pelo uso do pacote incorreto são os seguintes: inetd arp ipmasqadm ping netstat ifconfig rarp route plipconfig portmap Se alguém tiver alguma dúvida sobre a correção, entre em contato comigo. Até o final de semana vou disponibilizar uma nova versão do sistema de instalação da Debian em Português com este problema corrigido. --- gleydson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] MailBR - O e-mail do Brasil -- http://www.mailbr.com.br Faça já o seu.

Linux (both 2.0.x and 2.2.x), ifconfig, and routing tables.
Okay, I've asked on comp.os.linux.networking, figured I'd ask here too since I've seen similar topics come up. I've discovered some differences between Linux's handling of the routing table from other Unix and Unix-style OS's, and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on things. I have a program I am working on (high availability/failover stuff), that as part of it's operation does the following steps: 1. Brings down an interface with 'ifconfig interfacename down'. 2. Depending on circumstances, either brings the interface up with an 'ifconfig interfacename up', or changes it's IP address and then brings it back up with 'ifconfig interfacename up'. The problem I've run into is that whenever I do an 'ifconfig interfacename down', the kernel automagically removes all the routing table entries for that interface. If I bring the interface back up with 'ifconfig interfacename up', I also have to run a bunch of route commands to restore the routing table. So the problem I have is that I need a way to either: 1. Get the kernel to leave the routing table intact when the interface is brought down, or... 2. Find a way to save all the routing table entries involving the interface I'm bringing down, and restore them after bringing the interface back up? Anyone know how do do either of these? On every other Unix OS I've worked, an 'ifconfig interfacename down' followed by an 'ifconfig interfacename up' restores things to their initial state, and never changes the routing table. For example, on one of my old SunOS boxes (with addresses remove to protect the innocent): # ifconfig -a le0: flags=63UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING inet xx.xx.xx.xx netmask ff00 broadcast xx.xx.xx.xx ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx lo0: flags=49UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff00 # netstat -r Routing tables Destination Gateway FlagsRefcnt UseInterface localhostlocalhostUH 16 562235 lo0 134.84.106.0 host-le0 U3 50520 le0 # ifconfig le0 down # ifconfig -a lo0: flags=49UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff00 # netstat -r Routing tables Destination Gateway FlagsRefcnt UseInterface localhostlocalhostUH 16 562235 lo0 So as you can see, the routing table is completely unaffected by the 'ifconfig' commands. On linux (with 2.0.x kernel), I get the follwoing # ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx inet addr:xx.xx.xx.xx Bcast:xx.xx.xx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3691642 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3679365 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:11495 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:11495 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 # netstat -r Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface localnet* 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default tc8x.router.umn 0.0.0.0 UG0 0 0 eth0 # ifconifg eth0 down # netstat -r Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface As you can see, the ifconfig command is removing my route table entries.

However, at one point i had to write my own magicfilters because the supplied ones don't work too well. First, make sure printer support is compiled into your kernel, or compiled as modules. You'll need Parallel port support [CONFIG_PARPORT], PC-style hardware [CONFIG_PARPORT_PC], and Parallel printer support [CONFIG_PRINTER]. You can check the configuration (which should be in /boot/config-2.2.10 if you installed a kernel-image deb) to see if the variables in brackets are set. If they aren't, you'll need to recompile the kernel. Next, set up the new filters. First, cd to /etc/magicfilter. Copy stylus_color_360dpi-filter to stylus_color600_360dpi-filter, and stylus_color_720dpi-filter to stylus_color600_720dpi-filter. In stylus_color600_360dpi-filter, change '@stc2.upp' to '@stc600pl.upp' in the three places it occurs. In stylus_color600_720dpi-filter, change '@stc800p.upp' to '@stc600p.upp' in the three places. Run magicfilterconfig. Your printer is probably on /dev/lp0. I named my spool directories 'esc600-360' and 'esc600-720', but you can use any names you want. I used the obvious filters with those. After this, your printing should work.

Floppy light stays perpetually on.
Hi, I went to use my floppy and noticed that the light is perpetually on. Trying to use mdir gives: # mdir a: Can't open /dev/fd0: Device not configured Cannot initialize 'A:' Alternatively, trying to use mount on a ext2 floppy gives: # mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device I tried rebooting. The floppy light comes on straight away (and stays on) and the system tries to boot from the floppy but fails, so goes on to the hard drive. It seems to me most likely that this is a hardware failure. Would anyone concur? I tried opening up the box and un-plugging-re-plugging the cable but that didn't seem to help. I am wondering if the floppy drive has died. It is sitting between two harddrives, so perhaps it got too hot? Though I didn't think drives did get too hot??? Ideas anyone?

Re: sblive skips?
Aaron, it isn't the fault of windows, nor the fault of linux. If I recall, there is a FAQ at www.winamp.com that describes this situation. Basically, your PCI bus gives the cycles to the videocard when it needs them, and lets the chips fall where they may -- which means skipping during audio playback for the soundcard. Why it is more prevalent under windows is the Smooth Scrolling micros~1 introduced a little while back -- that sucks up the video bandwidth like nuts, and takes away from sound bandwidth. I wish I knew how to fix it.

That sounds like the classic case of the cable being installed backwards on one end. Remember - the red stripe on the cable goes to pin 1 on both the drive and the controller.

The developers of Amavis have indicated they will port their script to other mailers as well. All round, the system works well. The system has trapped viruses, indicated to the receiver that it has done so, and also mails the sender that a virus was found in the mail, and suggests a virus scan on the senders machine be done. Interestingly enough, if more institutions used this approach to virus scanning in e-mails, wild spread of virii such as melissa and happy worm should not happen, as all these mails that are auto-generated would be stopped at mail gateways.

After you install libgdbmg1-dev unpack the PHP sources and run debian/rules from scratch, as the configure script may not recognize that your system now has the needed library (as it was initially run while it was missing).

Re: Linux (both 2.0.x and 2.2.x), ifconfig, and routing tables.
On Tue, Sep 21, 1999 at 06:44:43PM -0500, Richard Kaszeta wrote Okay, I've asked on comp.os.linux.networking, figured I'd ask here too since I've seen similar topics come up. I've discovered some differences between Linux's handling of the routing table from other Unix and Unix-style OS's, and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on things. I have a program I am working on (high availability/failover stuff), that as part of it's operation does the following steps: 1. Brings down an interface with 'ifconfig interfacename down'. 2. Depending on circumstances, either brings the interface up with an 'ifconfig interfacename up', or changes it's IP address and then brings it back up with 'ifconfig interfacename up'. The problem I've run into is that whenever I do an 'ifconfig interfacename down', the kernel automagically removes all the routing table entries for that interface. If I bring the interface back up with 'ifconfig interfacename up', I also have to run a bunch of route commands to restore the routing table. So the problem I have is that I need a way to either: 1. Get the kernel to leave the routing table intact when the interface is brought down, or... 2. Find a way to save all the routing table entries involving the interface I'm bringing down, and restore them after bringing the interface back up? Anyone know how do do either of these? On every other Unix OS I've worked, an 'ifconfig interfacename down' followed by an 'ifconfig interfacename up' restores things to their initial state, and never changes the routing table. For example, on one of my old SunOS boxes (with addresses remove to protect the innocent): # ifconfig -a le0: flags=63UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING inet xx.xx.xx.xx netmask ff00 broadcast xx.xx.xx.xx ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx lo0: flags=49UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff00 # netstat -r Routing tables Destination Gateway FlagsRefcnt UseInterface localhostlocalhostUH 16 562235 lo0 134.84.106.0 host-le0 U3 50520 le0 # ifconfig le0 down # ifconfig -a lo0: flags=49UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff00 # netstat -r Routing tables Destination Gateway FlagsRefcnt UseInterface localhostlocalhostUH 16 562235 lo0 So as you can see, the routing table is completely unaffected by the 'ifconfig' commands. Reading the output you posted, I see all routes which refer to the downed interface disappear; this is also what happens with Linux. The visible difference seems to be mainly that SunOS lists a route for the configured IP on each interface (thus, it shows a route for localhost via lo0 even after le0 is downed), whereas Linux does not (thus, there are no routes after eth0 is downed). This difference should have no actual effect on routing behaviour.

Well, programs that init starts normally ARE daemons. Programs that inetd starts could often serve as daemons if they were to be so configured. Low-requirement webservers, or low-requirement ftp servers can run this way, telnetd runs this way usually, most anything can run that way. For servers that take a lot of overhead to start, however, they normally get started by the boot scripts once, and then run from there forever.

startup in rc directories for ssh

Bug in XEmacs-20.4 ?
Just noticed sth odd with XEmacs-20.4 on slink. Occasionally, things freeze up in XEmacs. It doesn't matter what I am doing. Everything freezes. However, if I hit Ctrl+G, its normal. Any keystrokes that I might have made while it was frozen seem to get processed cuz after hitting Ctrl+G. Very odd. Never had this problem with XEmacs-20.4 on RedHat-5.2 (but then on RH I had compiled 20.4 from sources) which I have used since 20.4 was released. Any ideas why this might be happening ? This is a bit alarming to me as I am not accustomed to XEmacs acting up on me, and I have been using XEmacs for a very long time now and have grown used to its excellent and exemplary behaviour!! I am running Debian 2.1 + glibc2.1 from potato and a bunch of other potato packages - glibc2.1 being the most important one. Thanks for any info. Regards, Salman Ahmed ssahmed AT interlog DOT com
Strange bash prompt
Hi, I noticed a strange behaviour of bash regrding the prompt. I have set PS1='\h:\w$ '. With that I get both the host name and the working directory as my shell prompt. Yesterday I noticed a strange behaviour accidentally. The sequence is given below: mysxrd:~$ cd /var mysxrd:/var$ prompt is correct mysxrd:/var$ cd ../usr mysxrd://usr$ prompt has 2 slashes! I am surprised by this behaviour. Is it expected? The bash version is: GNU bash, version 2.01.1(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu) TIA, sridhar Sridhar M. A.

X 3.3.4-2 Blanks screen w/ Trio3D
Hi, I grabbed Branden's 3.3.4-0 svga xserver when it came out, to get my Trio3D going. I got it to work with a bit of effort, at 800x600x16. I hadn't updated the system since then, until just now. Now when xdm or startx starts, the screen starts flickering, and then goes into powersave mode. I've tried it on another monitor too. (Both only 15) I guessed it must be trying to start a resolution, so I brought it back to 640x480, but to no avail. I've looked at xfree86.org, they have a couple of modelines they think work on the card, but I was using them already. It wasn't upgrading the server that killed it, cause I didn't upgrade the server straight away :( I actually left all the 3.3.4-0 stuff, except for xlib6g, which heaps of packages depended on. When I rebooted, xdm didn't come up, so I upgraded everything to 3.3.4-2, but still no luck! I've now downloaded the binary 3.3.5 svga server, still the same thing. The annoying thing is, it has worked, but now it doesn't!!! I don't know what broke it. Anyone else have a Trio3D? Anyone having the same kind of problems? Thanks, Tim. -- Tim Thomson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The bash version is: GNU bash, version 2.01.1(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu) I don't have an answer, but I vaguely remember once upon a time trying the /w switch in my prompt and getting odd results, so I went back to using $PWD which seems to work fine for me in most cases. Nonetheless, I just tried the sequence you outlined, and I get the same results using $PWD. Hmmm, inter-r-resting.
garbled characters in vim
Hi all, I am trying to get swedish characters to work properly on my debian box. I have it working perfectly in rxvt and in vim (if I start it from inside mutt, as now when I am composing this). BUT! If I start vim from an ordinary rxvt shell It displays escape sequences å is \xe5 ä is \xe4 ö is \xf6 some other strange chars ´ is \xb4 ¤ is \xa4 £ is \xa3 all other characters work. I hope the above is readable! Also inside Mutt when I read mail all those chars are displayed as ? signs. But if I cat the mail in /var/spool/mail/ it shows those chars correctly. So might this be 2 separate problems or are they connected ? I have been messing around with all sorts of things concerning language support and I am a bit lost so If someone could set me on the correct path I would be very grateful. $: env LANG=C LESSCHARSET=latin1 $: cat .inputrc set meta-flag on set output-meta on set convert-meta off $: XF86Config Section Keyboard ProtocolStandard AutoRepeat 500 5 XkbKeycodes xfree86 XkbTypesdefault XkbCompat default XkbSymbols en_US(pc105)+se XkbGeometry pc EndSection $: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc setenv LANG C setenv LC_CTYPE iso_8859_1 ...

I got the impression that Richard was looking for a nicer way of doing this; if linux is going to be wierd about its network interfaces, then perhaps there is a nice way to circumvent it without too much work. :) On Wed, Sep 22, 1999 at 01:28:18AM -0400, William T Wilson wrote: On Tue, 21 Sep 1999, Richard Kaszeta wrote: 2.
