Hola, una curiosidad, alguien a instalado el xmame? tengo la citius slink 2.1 con el kernel 2.2.12 y cuando arranco el xmame me da un error de rom me dice que no puede cargar la rom galturbo.u alguien sabe de esto? Mira que no sea un problema del PATH, creo que `xmame' busca las ROMs en un sitio y el paquete deb lo configura en otro. Yo las tengo en `/var/lib/games/mame/juego/'. Saludos.

RE: Una sobre puertos.
-Mensaje original- De: Raul GN [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: martes 5 de octubre de 1999 20:35 Para: Lista de Debian Asunto: Una sobre puertos. Gracias a las news he descubierto como ver qué puertos estan a la escucha (netstat -a), y claro aquí es donde han empezado mis dudas. He logado identificar todos los puertos habiertos... salvo uno, un tal sunrpc que habre el demonio portmap, sin embargo, su pagina man es un tanto criptica: Portmap is a server that converts RPC program numbers into DARPA protocol port numbers. It must be running in order to make RPC calls. Y claro, la cuestiones son: ¿Qué son 'números de programa RPC'? ¿Qué son los 'números de puerto del protocolo DARPA'? Vale, esto ultimo intuyo lo que es, son los números de puerto: 21 - telnet, 25 - smtp,... ¿no?. Lo de DARPA no me suena nada. Yyyy nop! ;) El RPC o Remote Procedure Call es un sistema de Sun para llamar a procedimientos remotos, es decir, para que tú te hagas un programa que se ejecute en tu máquina local y pueda llamar a un procedimiento/función que se ejecute en la máquina remota. El Portmapper es el encargado de resolver los números de procedimientos remotos y devolver los puertos asociados a esos números (bastante del estilo de un DNS), es decir, permite iniciar la conexión entre tu programa local y el programa remoto que almacena los procedimientos (una especie de servidor de funciones). La cosa es algo así: 1. El programa remoto se registra a sí mismo y los procedimientos que tiene en la máquina remota, llamando al portmapper remoto. En ese momento, el portmapper le adjudica puertos en los que quedarse a la escucha para cada procedimiento o para cada programa, no recuerdo bien. 2. El programa remoto se queda a la espera de peticiones (es un servidor de funciones, lo que sirve son funciones). 3. El programa local empieza la ejecución. 4. El programa local llama al portmapper de la máquina remota para que le establezca una comunicación con cierto programa remoto y, de ese programa remoto, cierto procedimiento (de ahí el nombre, mapeador de puertos, te mapea un puerto y un programa/procedimiento remoto). 5. El programa local convierte los parámetros del procedimiento remoto al que quiere llamar a parámetros desreferenciados (marshalling, i.e. convierte punteros en datos absolutos) y llama al procedimiento remoto con el identificador que obtuvo del portmapper. Los parámetros del procedimiento se pasan por la red empleando XDR (eXternal Data Representation, otro protocolo de Sun para enviar datos). Creo que el RPC se emplea en el NFS, pero no estoy muy seguro (te lo digo más que nada por si no arrancas el RPC y de repente notas que te falla el NFS). En realidad, el RPC es el inicio de la programación distribuída, que se ha quedado más o menos obsoleto con la aparición de sistemas de objetos remotos (CORBA, SOM, COM...). En el listado de puertos abiertos hay dos entradas que me intrigan: raw0 0 *:1 *:* raw0 0 *:6 *:* ¿Me podeis explicar cual es su función? ¿Qué tipo de protocolo es raw? De esto ni idea, pero el protocolo raw es el protocolo que va directamente sobre IP (ni UDP ni TCP). __ Raúl González [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by Debian GNU/LiNuX Slink Linux User #99718 Antonio Tejada Lacaci [EMAIL PROTECTED] Depto.

vmware
Buenas. He instalado el vmware-1.0.3 (o algo así) en mi sistema Debian. Mi idea es la de poder acceder al NoTepares 4.0 que hay en el disco para no tener que salir del Linux ya para nada... ;-) Todo lo tengo bien, cargo con el insmod el módulo vmmon-up-2.2.5-22 (pero tengo un kernel 2.2.12), etc, etc. Pero a pesar de cargarlo, me dice que no encuentra el /dev/vmmon (lógico, no lo tengo). He hecho, con el módulo cargado, un MAKEDEV update, pero no me lo ha creado... ¿Alguien puede orientarme un poco para poder ver cómo va ésto?

Saludos. Ya me he montado un mini-servidor http/ftp/pop3, y claro, ahora estoy peleándome con lo de los emails que vienen de otras partes de la red local. La situación es que hay un ordenador que tiene conexión con internet, y tiene cuentas de email. El resto de los ordenadores lo usan como servidor pop3 local, y smtp también. El invento funciona, y puedo mandar para fuera y para dentro de la red sin problemas. Sin embargo, en el exim tengo configurado, que siempre que pilla una dirección [EMAIL PROTECTED], me la reescribe a [EMAIL PROTECTED], dado que sólo tengo una dirección de email. Pues bueno, me reescribe el from, pero ¡de todos los emails! Es decir, los mails locales también son reescritos a [EMAIL PROTECTED], por lo que un reply no funciona, teniendo que cambiar manualmente la dirección a donde se va a responder, por la dirección local de email ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). He intentado usar el flag q de las rewritting-rules, pero sólo se aplica si el resto de las rewritting rules para una determinada dirección _también_ cumplen los mismos flaqs. Es decir, que algo como: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] tTq [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] F no funciona, porque la segunda línea no tiene los flags tT. ¿Se ve lo que quiero hacer? He releído el manual del exim, y no parece ser que haya forma alguna de hacer una especie de if/else con las rewritting-rules :-( ¿Alguien tiene una idea de qué puedo hacer?

Off Topic: IPDS y PostScript
Hola a todos ¿Conoce alguien IPDS?, creo que es algo similar a PostScript (no en la forma, pero si en la funcion), que se genera en AS/400, una impresora Laser con IPDS cuesta un h..vo (minimo 8 Mb, mas el modulo IPDS, mas tarjeta de red para la impresora cerca de 500.000). Me vendria muy bien disponer de algun programa de filtro para poder transformar esta corriente de datos (o lo que sea), en PostScript, para poder utilizar impresoras convencionales, por supuesto que funcione bajo Linux. Gracias de antemano y saludos.

Re: Debian GNU/Linux 2.2
Sin ánimo de fastidiar :-) Miquel: no, no fastidies ;-) tengo muy claro a qué nos referimos con versión estable/inestable y también sé que una inestable no es una beta, aunque en algunos aspectos se parezca o alguien nos podamos confundir. Es necesario que existan la versiones inestables, que se difundan y que se publique sobre ellas. Y no es malo, al contrario pienso yo, que alguien gane dinero escribiendo libros, personalizandos sistemas, dando soporte a los demás o cualquier otra actividad que no comprometan la finalidad o las ideas de la gente que hace Debian (que es de lo que hablamos). Sin embargo, creo que el software libre a diferencia del comercial (me meto ya en terreno de Sobre más que de la debian-user-spanish) no evoluciona por necesidad económica. Nadie se forra creando en los demás la falsa necesidad de actualizar a RedHat 3.11 ó Debian 2000, por sus grandes ventajas y virtudes tecnológicas. Por eso me extraña la prisa en publicar algo comercial sobre una versión aún inestable. No sé cuántas diferencias podrá haber entre la versión congelada para publicar el citado CD-ROM y la potato estable, pero seguro que haberlas, haylas. En cualquier caso, mi pregunta sobre la versión actual de la Debian se motivaba por ignorancia y curiosidad, no con ánimo inquisitorial. ¡Bienvenidos todos los libros sobre Debian, GNU/Linuxes y software libre en general! A este respecto, en español no hay mucho (podéis buscar en Diaz de Santos http://www.diazdesantos.es, entre otros sitios), pero en Inglés casi de todo (éste lo encontré en Amazon http://www.amazon.com). No sólo de man y how-tos se alimenta el espíritu.

Controladora SCSI Adaptec 2904
Hola a todos. Como ya os podeis imaginar soy otra vez el de la grabadora TEAC que después de ver precios he encontrado el sitio más barato pero la cosa es que la oferta es con una controladora SCSI Adaptec 2904 y no una 1520 o 2930 que son las que por aquí me habeis dicho alguno que es sobre la que teneis pinchada la grabadora. He estado en el Linux Hardware Database y un tipo cuenta que la 2904 funciona nada más enchufarla y recompilar el kernel adecuadamente pero sobre SuSE, querría saber si alguien tiene alguna noticia de que sobre Debian no tire... o mejor: lo contrario :-) ... no vaya a ser que la 2904 sea una wincontroladora SCSI jeje XDDD (no me extrañaría que las fabricasen, eso ya sería la releche). Este es el último paso para convertirme en un grabador compulsivo, ¿alguien me puede ayudar?.

Re: XF86_NONEV
2. How can I prevent anybody from changing virtual consoles and killing my X session when I am away and locked it with xlock? it's actually easier then that, all the need to do is hit ctrl-alt-backspace and they'll be dumped back to the virtual console which you started it on. run startx. once X is up and running, switch back to the virtual console where you started X and hit ctrl-z, then type bg and then logout. now swap back to your X session. under tcsh you could make all this happen on one line with a command like: # startx ; clear; logout but in bash this doesn't work and i haven't figured out why yet. adam.

Splitting debian-user (was Re: DO NOT UPGRADE TO POTATO...)
Ben Pfaff [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: A. M. Varon [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Could we have a potato mailing lists? That's part of what debian-devel *is* for. Why would we want another list for it? Ben answered on _debian-devel_, but not on _debian-user_; I hope he doesn't mind my posting in both places (this discussion has been going on in both places). A.M. said (I'm paraphrasing) that casual readers of debian-user may come away thinking Debian has lots of problems, when in fact the problems discussed are mostly in the unstable (currently potato) distribution. A.M's suggestion may have merit: a new _debian-user-unstable_ list could separate the user bleeding edge discussions from the stable user discussions. As Ben said, _debian-devel_ is already a place to discuss problems with unstable -- but there's lots of cruft there that's uninteresting to unstable users unless they're considering becoming developers. But if we create _debian-user-unstable_, the _debian-user_ readers would miss (would they care?) the discussions -- some of them interesting -- about changes, and might therefore be less well prepared to handle the upgrade to potato when it becomes stable. So I obviously can't make up my mind; I think we should let the _debian-user_ population decide: would you like to split the group? Here (from the http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/subscribe page) is how the above-mentioned lists are currently described: debian-user This is the main mailing list for all users and developers of Debian GNU/Linux systems. Many developers also follow the threads and step in to help every now and then. debian-devel This is the main discussion list for development topics. All developers should be subscribed to this list. As it is open to the public anyone can join the discussion.

Re: dual celeron m/b
At work, we have a BP6 with dual 433's and it's run for months without any problems. I can't help but wonder if it's not simply an overheating issue? After hearing of problems with BP6's, we went kept recompiling a kernel to keep the load over 5 for an extended period of time and haven't seen any problems. Of course, this machine is in a rack-mount case filled with fans and in a heavily air conditioned computer room. Since this machine has been slated for a server, I haven't overclocked it or messed with the voltage, etc. I just wanted to mention my experience. I also have a buddy that uses his BP6 to create MP3's and he hasn't had any troubles. -Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] * George Bonser ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [991005 20:27] penned: I have a BP6 running dual Celeron 366's overclocked to 550. no problems so far.

Mount as many partitions as possible read only (what do I do with /etc?)
Hello! In order to improve reliability, reduce fsck times, increase foolproofness, preserve the wildlife and so on (on a Debian Slink server with a Very Interruptible Power Supply (tm)), I wish to mount read only as many partitions as I can. My goal would be to have everything read only except /var, /home and /tmp. It's trivial to have /usr read-only, but I have problems with the root partition: - It has to contain /etc since it's required at early boot time to run rc scripts - /etc has to be read-write since you have to be able to change passwords, add and remove users, configure samba shares via swat, update adjtime, mtab and so on.

Given the information you give below, it distinctly sounds like you ran into this bug and not a bug in SO 5.1. Especially since i have SO 5.1 from StarDivision before Sun bought them, and it works fine (although it is a memory hog...) I don't know the details about the system(3) call problem. Your last sentence here is very different from my experience. See below. Check the debian-user mailing list archives, as well as bug report number 43549 http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/43/43549.html. Basically, using the system(3) call [man 3 system, if you have manpages-dev installed] was doing something non-thread-safe in version glibc 2.1.2-0pre10. This caused any threaded program that used that call to fail. The first version I downloaded from the Star Division web site failed after an upgrade of glibc2.1 of the potato distribution. I made an attempt to have both glibc2.07 and glibc2.1 on the system to get SO to work, but the instructions failed for me. For me the solution was solved (not exactly sure) when I downloaded the new SO tarball (so51a_lnx_01.tar, note the a) from Sun's website (stardivision.com will now redirect to sun.com). This one worked without problems with glibc2.1.x. There were however later upgrades to glibc in that time, but I think it wasn't glibc, they did something with the new version ^^^ Why? Circumstances point more towards the glibc problem mentioned above. Ok, let me try to explain my experience. I've been upgrading against potato since its beginning. When glibc was 2.0.x I downloaded SO5.1 from stardivision.com (before Sun). This is impossible, since 5.1 was released only after potato was into 2.1. Are you SURE you're not confusing 5.01 and 5.1 (BTW, that is the stupidest numbering system i've ever seen. Who at StarDivision came up with it? ... Then again, Netscape has 4.05 and 4.5 as well...) The reason i know this is because of the intense discussion and workaround-hunting that went on during that period, for version 5.01. Just after a fully functional solution was found, StarDivision released 5.1 which worked with glibc 2.1. You can check the debian-user archives (try around May 1999, which is when 5.1 was released IIRC) for more information. I installed it and it worked. As the weeks went by I upgraded my potato sys several times a week. When the glibc version went to 2.1.x, SO broke. A message on deb.usr gave a list of instructions to try, but the instructions failed for me. I left SO broke, waiting for a solution, either an update to glibc (2.1), or a message on deb.usr explaining how to fix it. No message showed up, and after several subsequent upgrades of glibc2.1.x, SO remained broke. The directions posted to the list worked flawlessly for me (as well as a few others i was in contact with at the time), and 5.1 when it was released it worked without any modification. At this point Sun had taken Stardivision over, and put SO (so51a_lnx_01.tar) up on sun.com for download. I thought this may be an updated version (same name as early version but with the addition of the a). I downloaded it, installed it, and it worked. i'm not debating that this works, just that the earlier version worked too.

It diverts /sbin/init to /sbin/init.orig, and installs a shell script in place of /sbin/init. This shell script mounts /etc from an NFS server. The only file that might be required beforehand is /etc/resolv.conf, but this is not even required if you give the IP address of the NFS server.

Re: nfs boot off of a kernel on a floppy
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write: If you'd like to save some spaces, you can select several directories to be exported. Of course, the server and the clients have to be running the same version of the OS. If I remember correctly, /lib, /bin, /sbin, /usr can be exported safely. You have to be careful with /lib, /bin, and /sbin, as files in these directories are required on boot... My diskless package (latest version 0.3.2) mounts /etc from a NFS server, but this cannot be shared with other clients. Selecting directories that can be exported is a bit tricky, so I think the easisest way is to instal a new system on the server machine. Since bootp would boot from /tftpboot/x.x.x.x (where x.x.x.x is the IP number you assign for the client machine; defined in /etc/bootptab), just create x.x.x.x directory in /tftpboot, then export it (in /etc/exports). On the other machine, mount that directory somewhere, and then install a new system using the mount point as the root directory. I use a symlink from /tftpboot/x.x.x.x to /the/real/dir. In fact, I do not even need /tftpboot/x.x.x.x in my exports file! All that is required is an entry for /the/real/dir. Weird. -- Brian May [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Many issues discussed in debian-user apply to both stable and unstable, not to mention Linux in general. I like the idea of reading one list and being able to beneift from the experiences of people running both distributions. Occasionally when I want to know more about the bleeding edge, I'll subscribe to debian-devel for a while and see what's going on. Tom

problem with /dev/lp0
I use Debian with kernel 2.0.36. All information I can get from the BIOS of my Intel PC about the parallel port ist, that io is 0x278 and that the mode is normal (other possible modes: ECP, EPP 1.9 and EPP 1.7). So I say modprobe lp io=0x278. The printer is a HP LaserJet 4P connected trough a bidirectional parallel cable. Since printing trough magicfilter does not work, I tried to generate a file using gslj and send that directly to /dev/lp0: cat file.lj /dev/lp0 This takes about 4 seconds and produces no error. But nothing is printed and there is no error message on the printer. tunelp /dev/lp0 -s gives the following: /dev/lp0 status is 240, out of paper, on-line, error but the printer is not out of paper and displays no error. Also printing works if the printer is connected to a Windows NT machine. tunelp /dev/lp0 tells me that lp0 is using polling. lp1 and lp2 are not configured. cat /proc/interrupts gives: 0:8290233 timer 1: 35309 keyboard 2: 0 cascade 3:188 + serial 4: 73807 + serial 8: 2 + rtc 9: 116284 NE2000 13: 1 math error 14:4628478 + ide0 Why does printing not work?

bootpd: ioctl SIOCSARP: invalid argument
I am trying to set up a boot server in order to boot and install debian-ppc in a 43P I have here, but I am failing miserably to set up bootpd. I've never set one of these before. And it is saying: ioctl SIOCSARP: Invalid argument Anyone has an Idea of what is happening? This kernel is compiled with RARP suport, I have an entry in my /etc/hosts with the name and adress of the host Im trying to configure, davinci:tc=.default:ha=08005afc63b4:bf=bootprep.bin and the .default entry has :hn:dn=colband.com.br:td=/boot-ppc:ds=dns:to=auto: dns is the name of our dns server , /boot-ppc is where I put the boot image and bootprep.bin is the name of the boot image that resides inside /boot-ppc . If anyone has some clue on what is wrong/what to do, please include me in the reply, since I am not currently subscribed to debian-user, Thank you very much for your help! --macan

printing through samba with Windows
Hi there! I'm having a rather difficult problem with printing through samba from Windows machines. What happens is there are a bunch of big Word documents (with pictures in there from digital cameras) that need to be printed out in batches. Normally a user can pick a bunch from explorer and right-click on them and print them. Problem is, when I do that to the color printer through the linux server, I start getting bunches of errors from the windows machine about it taking too long and needing to cancel the jobs because the printer's not responding, etc, etc, etc. (usually I can still get all the prints after responding to all the timeout messages and such) Now, I can print these things to file and copy it to the linux box and send them out through lpr and it spools them all up and sends 'em on out. So, I'm thinking there must be something to do with the samba config. Has anyone ever heard of this problem before? Is there a simple config parameter I need to change and that will take care of it? It seems to me that the samba server ought to spool these jobs up to print and let the workstation go on it's merry way doing something else, but that doesn't seem to be happening. I have never noticed this problem before when printing through our old Netware server. I've tried multiple linux boxes - one running slink and one running potato, so different iterations of software versions. Running samba and lprng for the printing.

Linux/GDI printers/Samba
Hi, I would like to use my Linux server as a print server. I have a Xerox Xe80 combined copier /printer. The problem is it follows the GDI initiative. This is where they design a printer that is so dumb you can't pipe text to it and have it print. They moved a good bit of intelligence from the printer to the PC driver. For this reason, the external print servers (I.e. Intel netport, Netgear print server) will not work with this printer. My question is regarding Samba sharing. I don't have an urgent need to print from the Linux server. I was going to set up a raw print device to be shared across the network. Has anyone had any success setting up GDI printers through Linux? I get the impression the intelligence in the Xerox print driver must be directly connected to the parallel port ! I called Xerox and they don't directly support Linux. Does anyone directly support Xerox ? BTW Warning to all, these GDI printers are becomming more and more popular as software (driver) is cheap when compared to manufacturing smarter hardware. Networking can only be done via a PC/Windows with a printer share.

Re: Sound Config Probs
I guess the post 2.0 kernels handle this differently. I know that if you use 2.0.3x the isapnp runs AFTER the kernel inits built-in's but BEFORE modules are loaded. The best thing would be for the driver to do the pnp stuff itself which is how (I think) it happens in windows.

Re: Apache segfaulting upon perl module load
Thank you, Doug. This turned out to be the solution. A complicating factor was that I was building from .deb files, since I run Debian, and the mod_perl source .deb blows up. I wanted to do things in such a way that I ended up with good .debs, to make it easier to deinstall, replace, etc. I did manage to build an Apache deb file with statically linked mod_perl. This works. If anyone is interested in the deb, let me know. If there is a good common place to post it, let me know that, too. Otherwise, I can stick it up on my web site. I'd like to make a source deb, too, with the extra stuff needed for static mod_perl, but I'm not too sure about how to go about that. By the way, I've noticed that folks are having the same problem with RPMs from RedHat. I hope the developers just get it all fixed soon. ;-) (I have filed a bug report with Debian).

brokenness somewhere in netbase or dpkg (or apt?)
Hi,
A couple of days ago when I apt-get upgraded, it gave me a new version
of netbase, 3.16-3. When it got to the install part, it ran its setup
script and started asking me questions about my networking config (which
surprised me -- why didn't it just use the config that was already
there?).
I answered the questions and continued. It gave me an error and quit. I
put a hold on my previous version of netbase, 2.16-2, and retried to
apt-get upgrade. Now I get:

I don't know if netbase is actually the problem at all -- it also gave me

coming from there.

This can prove to be a good idea, mounting /etc from a rw partition. It will indeed require some work to make it a robust script, since the etc partition will have to be fscked, action should be taken if fsck fails, etc. ( :) ), just like in checkroot.sh I thought this was an old question with an obvious solution, but it's turning out to be nontrivial.
