Tira de fábula y no puede ser más simple de configurar, sorprende eso mismo.
Lo único malo es:
1) Consume recursos brutalmente, sobre todo CPU. En tu P-200 32Mb RAM tirará
   bien.
2) No es Open Source, es más no es ni de libre distribución... esto es lo
   peor sin duda pero bueno, veremos a ver qué tal el FreeMWare
   'http://www.freemware.org/' ¿que qué es?, pues miralo ;-)

Una vez desarrollado y estable FreeMWare (un tiempecito) ya podremos
disfrutar de freemware_1.0.0.deb en nuestra distribución preferida.

impresora y scanner

1999-10-08 Thread Dardo S Botto
Hola:

Alguien tiene experiencia con una impresora tipo HP laser 1100A
que incorpora funciones de scanner?
En realidad la pregunta es respecto de esta última característica.

Gracias desde ya.

No hace falta probar, mirando el bus PCI al arrancar o con 'lspci' se ve
facilmente el numerito. En mi caso:

#lspci

US Robotics Sportster Flash

1999-10-08 Thread Jordi
Hola,

Os escribo porque mi primo, que está empezando con el tema del linux tiene
un problema que más que no saber resolver, no se me ocurre porqué le puede
pasar.

Usa Slink, y yo ya le dije como tenía que configurar la conexión a internet
y tal, y lo consiguió el solo. Un dia, dice que en Windows se dió cuenta que
estaba usando el modem Standard o algo así, así que cogió el disco de
drivers pa windoze del modem, borró ese e instaló uno nuevo. Desde entonces,
pppd le dice que NO CARRIER.

Yo no veo que relación puede tener una cosa con la otra, quizás es algo
evidente, pero a mi no se me ocurre.
Ah, el modem debe ser de esos 'actualizables' a 56k por software, así que lo
único que se me ocurre es que el modem, actualizado, se comporte como un
winmodem, o algo así? En ese caso, supongo que habrá alguna manera de
desactualizar el modem en Windoze y bastaria con eso, verdad?

Salut!

Jordi

Probablemente le ha configurado la cadena de conexión malamente ;D
(los registros internos del módem te permiten guardar profiles o cadenas de

ponga ATZc1d2, a ver qué tal.

Puedes buscar el identificador de la tarjeta con lspci.
Yo tengo una SB128 y es la es1370, no siempre es la es1371.

El id para la es1370 es 1274:5000
Para la es1371 es 1274:1371

Haz lspci y busca cualquiera de estas 2 cadenas y ya sabes la que tienes.

Buenas:

Ya se que este no es exactamente el sitio, pero ¿alguien usa como proveedor de
internet a uni2 (wanadoo.es)?. He contratado el servicio bono30 y no consigo
conectar con el ISP, les he llamado y un técnico me dice que el si conecta con
su SuSe, pero no me da una indicación de como lo hace, dice que el tenía una
Debian y le daba problemas, pero nadie me da una respuesta a mi pregunta. Reco-
nozco que estoy perdido pues no se interpretar el mensaje del ppp.log, no se
que es lo que falla. Lo he intentado como root pero ni por esas.

Incluyo las lineas del ppp.log por si alguien puede darme alguna pista.

impressão de fontes TrueType. Li na documentação do StarOffice a
sugestão que a empresa adotou para a impressão de fontes TrueType, porém
não gostei muito (não cheguei a testar). Alguém conhece alguma maneira,
não necessariamente fácil, de fazer o StarOffice enxergar as fontes

Só comentando sobre acentuação no X. Para quem está usando o potato com

XF86Setup você escolhe o seu teclado (número de teclas) e :) 
us-international. Com isso o teclado passa acentuar nos programas que
suportam internacionalização. Alias, se ainda alguem estiver usando o

Verdade. Os modems HSP (também conhecidos como winmodem)

Re: StarOffice

1999-10-08 Thread Nuno Faria
Aproveito a deixa para fazer uma pergunta:

Desde que fiz o upgrade do Debian para a distribuição Potato (incluindo
o kernel 2.0.36 para 2.2.10) o StarOffice deixou de imprimir. Todos os
outros programas imprimem bem mas o StarOffice bloqueia e só conssigo
resolver o problema matando o respectivo processo. Alguém tem alguma
ideia do que possa estar a acontecer?

Uma novidade (? ou talvez não)

Como já devem saber, a Corel prepara uma distribuição do Linux baseada
na Debian (Corel Linux). Creio que esta distribuição já esta a ser
fornecida juntamente com o Word Perfect 8.
Entretanto, eu contactei a Corel e perguntei quando haveria uma versão
Linux do novo Corel Word Perfect Office (com o Word Perfect e a folha de
cálculo Quattro Pro). A resposta foi que o programa está a ser preparado
e deverá ser lançado em Fevereiro/Março.
Claro que o StarOffice é gratuito e os programas da Corel pagam-se, mas
pelo menos será uma boa alternativa ao Office da M$. Talvez agora se
torne mais fácil convencer todos os nossos colegas de trabalho a mudar
para Linux! (Enquanto há vida há esperança ;)

Realmente quanto as fontes true type, vc consegue visualizah-las,
mas nao as consegue imprimir.  Nao fui muito a fundo, pois na verdade uso
mais documentos em LaTeX.  Mesmo tentando imprimir para arquivo nao
funciona.
Quanto a instalacao, nao peguei o Star Office em RPM, mas em TGZ,
daih eu instalei em /usr/local.  Na verdade gostaria de instalar tudo em
/usr/share para compartilhar com outras maquinas na rede (daih era soh
exportar um diretorio), mas todas as distribuicoes de Linux insistem em

Eu sugeri ao Ardo (o mantedor do pacote) a tradução para outros idiomas 
do guia de utilização, e ele gostou da idéia porque os usuários 
(principalmente daqui) desejam documentar a Debian em nosso idioma mas 
não tem nenhum documento explicando como utilizar o DebianDoc.

Este guia será atualizado daqui há 1 mes, o documento atual é um pouco
curto e grosso sugerindo a utilização das tags em diversas situações
do texto e explicando o básico sobre este formato.

Espero que eu possa contar com o espaço da página de nosso 
colega Paulo Henrique (e outras pessoas também que desejem 
espalha-lo pela Internet) para abrigar este guia. :)

Se alguem quiser se aventurar no DebianDoc e precisar de ajuda, estou
a disposição!

Re: Last potato linuxlogo

 Hi,
 Changelogs and bug reports are very helpful...

 I found this line in /usr/doc/linuxlogo/changelog.Debian.gz:
 * Added the original swirl files to the debian directory (Fixes
#46588).

 The bug report link (http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/46/46588.html)
mentions the
 swirl is back in the source package. So it looks like a re-compile is
needed in
 order to get it back.

 Chris Schleifer

Well, upon checking out the source for version 3.02, I don't see the
swirl mentioned anywhere in the code, the docs, or in any subdirectory
for that matter. I  s'pose I'll write the developer and ask him about
it.

potato: procps and bsdutils conflict?

1999-10-08 Thread Hwei Sheng TEOH

I was just upgrading my potato system, and apt-get stopped when processing
bsdutils. There was an error message from dpkg:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/bsdutils_1%3a2.9w-3.1_i386.deb
(--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/bin/kill', which is also in package procps
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/bsdutils_1%3a2.9w-3.1_i386.deb

I managed to fix this by (forcibly) uninstalling procps, using `dpkg --remove
--force-depends', and then `apt-get install bsdutils' followed by `apt-get
install procps'. Everything seems to be OK after this...

However, I was just wondering, is it really the case that both bsdutils and
procps contains the program /bin/kill? Are they the same, or are they
different versions? Is the alternatives mechanisms in place for /bin/kill?
Apparently there's some problem with both packages containing the same file?

Also, the weird thing is, `dpkg -S /bin/kill' only turns up procps, not
bsdutils. And also, *both* packages have the man1/kill.1.gz manpage file
-- one in /usr/man/ another in /usr/share/man/. Hmmm, interesting, which
manpage gets displayed for /bin/kill then??? Are these two manpages supposed
to coexist??

This does sound like a problem with these two packages... only I'm not quite
sure for which package I should file a bug report.

Problem w/apt-get dist-upgrade

I'm trying to upgrade a fresh slink base-install to potato.  I've upgraded
apt (0.3.7slink0), edited sources.list, did apt-get update, and apt-get
dist-upgrade. (I've done all this from scratch 3 times - it's repeatable).

I get the following error:

E: Problem executing scripts DPkg::Pre-Invoke 'mount -o remount,rw /usr'

Also, if I try dpkg --configure -a:

Setting up bsdutils (2.9w-3.1) ...
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: No such file

Any clues on what's happening here?  I've done this upgrade at least a dozen

Try minicom first on the port and see if you can directly talk to the
modem with AT commands. Try to dial your isp using minicom and make
sure the connection is made.  Record all the required prompts and

 Subject: Re: network card problems
 
 
  A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said...
 
   I have a DE-220PCT ISA network card which is in a 486 PC.  And my goal
   is to eventually have this P.C. as a client on my NT network.  I am
   completly new to this and don't really know what I'm doing. I have the
   network HOWTO (generic network configuration information) but i'ts not
   helping! I ran diagnostics on the network card and it appears to be
   o.k. I ran the following command and got the following error:
  
   ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
   eth0:Unknown interface.
   SIOCSIFADDR:Operation not supported by device
   eth0:Unknown interface.
   SIOCSIFNETMASK:Operation not supported by device
  
   Please don't tell me that the network module isn't compiled into
   kernel! (I haven't messed around with compiling the kernel, it scares
   me!)
 
  FYI: According to the kernel source, the DE-220PCT is an ISA
  NE2000-compatible card.
 
  First: The network module isn't compiled into the kernel (sorry).  Are you
  using the stock Debian kernel?  If so, you should have the driver ready
  for use.
 
  The first thing you need to do is see what modules you currently have
  loaded.  Running 'lsmod' will tell you that.  For example, this is what I
  get when I run 'lsmod':
 
  Module  Size  Used by
  tulip  27132   1
  af_packet   5836   1  (autoclean)
  es1371 23904   0
  soundcore   2372   4  [es1371]
  sd_mod 15964   2  (autoclean)
  sym53c8xx  46880   2  (autoclean)
  scsi_mod   50800   2  (autoclean) [sd_mod sym53c8xx]
 
  It shows the modules for my ethernet card, needed logic for my DHCP
  client, lowlevel and support drivers for my sound card, and drivers for my
  SCSI card.
 
  If the module 'ne' (the driver for ISA NE2000 and compatible cards) isn't
  shown, load it, like this:
 modprobe ne
 
  Now, if you run 'lsmod', the module should show up.  The 'ifconfig'
  command should then work.
 
  Second: You didn't quite get the 'ifconfig' command right.  It should be:
 ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
  (one too many zeroes)

the maintainer will happily reassign the bug to another

Re: Three questions

1999-10-08 Thread Herbert Ho
I'm sorry that your experience with linux has thus far been so bad.  I
understand how frustrating dealing with linux and all these problems might
be.  The linux community as a whole is very willing to help, but there are
lots of questions that are commonly asked that are answered in howto and
mailing archives.

many people who use linux and read these mailing list are busy people,
though willing to help, are probably like you, with lots of
commitments.  they usually have little amount of time that they need to
delegate constructively.

you'll get much friendlier responses if you would do your homework
beforehand by: (1) reading the relavent howto's (2) browse/search the
mailing list archives for previous posts that are relevant.

now, though i'm no guru (far from it), let's get on to your questions =)

(1) it helps a LOT if you know we know what network card it is. also the
chipset the card uses.  you usually needs these in order to determine the
correct drivers.  i like to check /proc/pci to see if the card was
detected at startup.  

if it is, then you just need to install the drivers.  installing the
drivers can be done from modconf (again, i'm not sure of the program, i
don't use it =p ).  you can also compile your own kernel and put the
drivers in that way. read the kernel-howto. =)

(2) though i haven't setup a two network card system before i believe the
idea is the same. you would use 

ifconfig eth0 ...

the same arguments you give to the first card except changing eth0 to the
device file your second card is on (probably eth1).  these are usually
done at boot in a script: /etc/init.d/networking (/etc/init.d/network in
slink). though they've been changing that around on me. =p

please read the howto's and mailing list archives first. then post the
question. you'll find more people are willing to help you.

 I don't want a long, indepth, very indirect discussion of how to manage
 a network or ethernet connect.  I want clear, distinct EXAMPLES.
 

Here are some clear, distinct examples from the howto's that were
mentioned.  


From the Ethernet HOWTO:

  3.2.  Using More than one Ethernet Card per Machine

  What needs to be done so that Linux can run two ethernet cards?

  With the Driver as a Module: Most linux distributions use modular
  drivers now (as opposed to having the driver built into the kernel).
[snip]

  As an example, consider a user that has two ISA NE2000 cards, one at
  0x300 and one at 0x240 and what lines they would have in their
  /etc/conf.modules file:


  alias eth0 ne
  alias eth1 ne
  options ne io=0x240,0x300

[snip]
  As a final example, consider a user with one 3c503 card at 0x350and
  one SMC Elite16 (wd8013) card at 0x280.  They would have:


  alias eth0 wd
  alias eth1 3c503
  options wd io=0x280
  options 3c503 io=0x350

[snip]

  With the Driver Compiled into the Kernel: If you have the driver
  compiled into the kernel, then the hooks for multiple ethercards are
  all there.  However, note that at the moment only one ethercard is
  auto-probed for by default.  This helps to avoid possible boot time
  hangs caused by probing sensitive cards.
[snip]

  LILO: linux ether=5,0x300,eth0 ether=15,0x280,eth1



From the NET-3 HOWTO:

  5.7.  Routing.
[snip]
  The first step is to configure the interface as described earlier. You
  would use a command like:

   # ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
[snip]
  You now need to add an entry into the routing table to tell the kernel
  that datagrams for all hosts with addresses that match 192.168.1.*
  should be sent to the ethernet device. You would use a command similar
  to:


   # route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
[snip]

  used instead of the default route. The idea of the default route is
  simply to enable you to say and everything else should go here. In
  the example I've contrived you would use an entry like:

   # route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0
[snip]
  Let's now look at a slightly more complicated routing configuration.
  Let's imagine we are configuring the router we looked at earlier, the
  one supporting the PPP link to the Internet and the lan segments
  feeding the workstations in the office. Lets imagine the router has
  three ethernet segments and one PPP link. Our routing configuration
  would look something like:


   # route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
   # route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth1
   # route add -net 192.168.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth2
   # route add default ppp0


 Take a look at the Ethernet and NETWORK HOWTOs.
 
  I have a system on which I've just installed debian.  It has two network
  cards but during setup only one was recognised.  I need to know how to:
 
  1) Make the system recognise the other network card.  Is there a utility
  which probes the card and determines what type it is and (hopefully)
  installs the correct driver for it?
 
  2) Make the system utilise the other network card.
 
  3) How do I assign a seperate IP number, gateway, etc. to it?

Sorry to be blunt, but you're acting like the Linux community owes you
something. Everyone here is a volunteer in one way or another.
Occasionally I answer questions. I'm not being paid for it, it's just
something I like doing - to try to improve people's experiences with
linux.

In return, you should either be thankful, or not say anything at all. My
mother always said: If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything
at all. This is especially true for the debian-user list, as we are all
volunteering our services.

 I asked some very specific questions, I hoped to get some helpful
 answers.  Obviously I was mistaken to even bother if I was to simply be
 directed to a Howto file.

What makes this answer unhelpful? I have found the Howtos to be a most
valuable source of information, even when I first started learning linux
(no previous unix experience).

 The poor quality of documentation, such as these how tos is one of the
 reasons why I recommend when ever I am asked whether a site should move
 to linux to recommend that they don't.  They are far better off with a
 proprietory WELL SUPPORTED form of unix, even if it costs considerably
 more.  That way they won't get a smart arse answer like this when they
 ask a direct question.

The Howtos are also created by volunteers. If you think that they do not
cover what you think they should cover, you should contact the author
and tell them nicely about what you expect to see there.

 I don't want a long, indepth, very indirect discussion of how to manage
 a network or ethernet connect.  I want clear, distinct EXAMPLES.

As it happens, the ethernet howto (which you have already been directed
to) contains exactly that:

http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.2

 Now, little boy, pull your socks up.  If you're not willing to help then
 it might be better for you to remain silent, rather than remove any
 doubt in my mind that you're a fool.

Comments such as this can never amount to anything but hostility.

 
  Take a look at the Ethernet and NETWORK HOWTOs.

You really should. Others have already done what you are trying to do.
One of them decided to write a document describing what he did, so that
others may do it too. If you don't understand it, you can always ask
here for further explanation.

   I have a system on which I've just installed debian.  It has two network

Oh, I'm sure such an outstanding attitude will win you all sorts of
friends.  

Nevertheless, you might care to pass an ether= line at boot.  Try it
by hand first to make sure you get it right - you will need to know the
IRQ and base IO for your cards.  (I assume they're of the same type; I
deleted your original post already).

I'll assume you know how to get to a boot prompt.  On my machine with
two 3Com 3C509 ISA cards I enter:

  linux ether=11,0x2e0,eth1 ether=10,0x300,eth0

Once booted you should be able to configure eth1 (look at
/etc/init.d/network to see how it's done).  Once you're sure
you've got the ether line right, add a line to /etc/lilo.conf:

  append=ether=11,0x2e0,eth1 ether=10,0x300,eth0

Don't forget to re-run LILO.

If you find my references to examining other bits of the system to find
out how it's done smart-arse, then I respectfully submit that Linux is
not for you.

Find me a commercial UNIX (or any software) that provides free support
and also sets it all up for you.  Linux comes the closest.  Don't
forget, the people on this list volunteer their time; they don't have to
help you.  If you feel someone isn't answering your question, attacking
them may not be overly productive, eh?

Re: HP 692C Configuration

1999-10-08 Thread longship

The HP 692C uses PCL 3, as does almost all the HP ink jets of recent years.
This means that the 690 series will use any printer definition that also uses
PCL 3.  I'd pick the closest HP printer to the features of the 69x and go with
it.  It works for me.

In other words, PCL 3 is PCL 3 is PCL 3.

CDROM worked once (surprise) can't get it to work again!

1999-10-08 Thread John Miskinis

Hello,

A few minutes ago, I happened to boot up linux with my
H45 quickcd attached (pcmcia) to my IBM Thinkpad 560.  I
was surprised to see the /dev/hdc show up using IRQ3 as
attempts in the past never worked.  It appears that the CDROM
takes a second or two to spin up, and something times out before
it is recognized.  This time however I was able to mount /dev/hdc
as /mnt and even use deselect to install some files from the
Debian 2.1 CD!

I have combed the CDROM howto, but can't find anything pertaining
to adding a command somewhere to increase the timeout(s) during
bootup.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I was REALLY AMAZED that this worked, and I have booted several
times since tonight and it just fails over and over again.
I think the timeout is just a wee bit to short.  Again this is
a PCMCIA-based H45 QuickCD.  I believe I am running with the
vanilla 2.0.36 kernel, but I can doublecheck if needed.

Many thanks for any info on this timeout issue...

Strange console message

1999-10-08 Thread Brian May
Hello,

Occasionally when I come to log on, I see the following message:

snoopy login: invalid code, row=0, col=1728, file offset=e1, skip to eol

Anyone know where this message is coming from?

This message doesn't seem to be generated by syslog. I am not sure how
it found its way to tty1 (the active console at the time).

Today I received a FAX (probably advertisement :-( ), via the default
mgetty setup. Perhaps this generated the message, maybe when encoding
the fax into a format suitable for mailing? ie
from /etc/mgetty/new_fax?

I had this problem with my CDROM way back in kernel 1.2 (1995).  I fixed it by
increasing the time-out settings in the BIOS.

It also helped to move it to hdb, thus on the first controller, but I am not 
exactly
sure why.  But increasing the BIOS settings worked more consistently.

I have not had the problem since, so I do not know of a more recent fix.

 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?

I'm not sure what the problem was, but I think some comments on your
entries in  bootptab would be useful.

 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,

Shouldn't it be in /etc/bootptab...?

 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:

If you set td to /boot-ppc, make sure that your inetd.conf has in.tftpd
/boot-ppc in it. 

My dn entry doesn't have the quotes, and since it
works, I think you should remove the quotes too. You need to add ip and
hd entries; ip is the ip number which the ha will be mapped, and hd is
the directory which will be mounted by nfs-root (actually the whole
path: /boot-ppc/x.x.x.x). And because you have changed tftpd's default
directory to /boot-ppc, you'd need to change the kernel's source codes
that has /tftpboot in it to /boot-ppc so that the kernel (which is
supposed to be put on a floppy) will try to mount /boot-ppc/x.x.x.x as
the nfs-root directory; instead of /tftpboot/x.x.x.x which is the
default.

BTW, you'd find bootptest be useful for testing your bootpd setup; just
create a machine (just like davinci above) entry in bootptab and then
run bootptest on davinci. If the setup is correct, you'd get an answer
that says davinci's IP is this and its Ether address is that.

idle-disconnect

1999-10-08 Thread Oki DZ
Hi,

The other day I tried to set dial-on-demand feature; the dialing worked
successfully. I'd like to do the other way around, ie: if the line is
idle then the connection should be disconnected. I have read the docs,
and one of them says that there's a PPP option that's called
idle-disconnect. I have tried to put it in /etc/ppp/options,
unfortunately, it seems that pppd wouldn't accept that option. So the
question is, how do you disconnect the line when it's idle?

Thanks in advance,

jfs

1999-10-08 Thread Oki DZ
Hi,

I'm just wondering wheter Debian can be installed on RS/6K 42T; yes, it
says that the bus is MCA. Would it be any problem with this?

I also need to get to root on the current machines which run on AIX, but
unfortunately, the maintainers of the machines have gone and nobody
knows the password (no intended cracking is involved here) and I don't
have the AIX CDs either. I have been thinking that if you could remove
the harddisks and mount them on a working Debian for PPC, then there
will be no problem; all is needed (theoretically, because there's no
/etc/shadow) is to edit /etc/passwd and remove the password entry.

I was going to that (ie: mounting the disks) on my working Linux x86,
but I didn't see jfs as the supported filesystem. What is jfs anyway?
A proprietary AIX's filesystem? I hope Debian for PPC (if there's such
thing) supports jfs, so that if I could get Debian running on a Sun,
then the root's password can be changed (all the machines have SCSI
disks, so hardware is no problem I think).

Thanks in advance,
Oki

Go to www.windowmaker.org

Grab Window Maker 0.61.1, libPropList 0.9.1 and WindowMaker-extras-0.1.
They are all available via links on the main page.

Start by compiling and installing libPropList, next build the Window
Maker and optionally install the extras package (additional icons and
such).
If you have automake installed, you need to upgrade to Version 2.13,
too.

All the software compiled flawlessly on my Slink system.

The default installation location is /usr/local - since you build it
yourself and do not have any entries in the package-database, I would
leave the prefix set to /usr/local.  If you set it to /usr you may not
be able to get rid of the software if you want to.
Possibly even consider using stow.

Mail me if there are any further questions.

First there seems to be a dependency conflict between qt1g 1.44-6.3 and
qt2. Suddenly they share the same libqimgio.so.0. Sorry, did not check,
if they are the same.

Next. Of both qt1 and qt2 appeared two conflicting versions: libqt and
qt. Unfortunately, most packages depend on qt, but libqt does not
provide qt... Could someone fix that?

Ingo

xpdf doesn't work for me---fonts

1999-10-08 Thread Alan Eugene Davis

xpdf.  The dpkg blurb says that xpdf uses X fonts.  But xpdf needs
t1lib0, which is a type 1 font rasterizer.  When I installed xpdf, I
can't see anything, so perhaps the type2 fonts are not working?   

(I have had trouble too with xtide giving  empty windows.  I don't
understand this.)

The files I want to view are from TeX.  Using  metafont fonts.  

What can I do?

 done, right?

Potato isn't frozen - it is intended to be frozen at the start of next
month.  While (AFAIK) the major global changes are done, there are still
plenty of problems with individual packages that need to be sorted out,
including the creation of a set of boot floppies.  Take a look at the
list of bugs with severity important or higher in the BTS -
http://bugs.debian.org/

Generally, our freezes and expected release dates tend to be
well-announced.

You might want to try viewfax which is in the mgetty-viewfax package.
I find it very fast to display fax pages.  `h' gets you a help page.

Re: problem with /dev/lp0

1999-10-08 Thread David Wright
Quoting Debian Mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
   The device is still /dev/lp0. lp1 and lp2 are still not configured,
  
  I read these words, but I don't understand what you mean by them.
 
 sos:~# tunelp /dev/lp0
 /dev/lp0 using polling
 sos:~# tunelp /dev/lp1
 /dev/lp1: Device not configured
 sos:~# tunelp /dev/lp2
 /dev/lp2: Device not configured

OK, got your drift now.

What does the kernel say when you modprobe lp? I think the problem
may be your giving modprobe an argument. If you give ANY arguments,
you must start at port 0, i.e. you'd need to put something like
io=0x3bc,0x378
to get 378 to apply to port 1.

Now you're using all the normal defaults, just try modprobing it
without any extra info and see if it says lp1 at 0x378.
_

 sos:~# cat /proc/ioports 
 ...
 0378-037f : lp

Yes, that's ok but it registers any/all ports as lp, not lpN.

Cheers,

Re: minicom lockup

Quoting Steve George ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 Hi,
 
 Sounds a little strange but it occurs to me that it could be eit
her a) it's not resetting properly and is leaving a lock file so y
ou could check in /var/lock, or b) perhaps it isn't able to resett
 the modem properly when you come out of minicom so is getting som
ething stuck in it's craw.

(Please shorten your lines.)

I'd agree with (b). I got just this problem when I was playing
with setserial (don't ask why!) and screwed up the port.

Cheers,

Bart,

I had the same issue with minicom.  It didn't exactly lockup for me, it
would refuse to access the port.

WDYM with refuse to access

Or the port (device) would be
unresponsive.

Define unresponsive

A few things to check:

- do not use the /dev/cua* devices. Use _only_ /dev/ttyS*
- make sure there is no getty running on the serial port (/etc/inittab)
- if you need a getty, use mgetty as that is the only one that
  knows how to lock/unlock the port properly

Re: CDROM worked once (surprise) can't get it to work again!

1999-10-08 Thread John Miskinis


Hi,

I had this problem with my CDROM way back in kernel 1.2 (1995).  I fixed it 
by

increasing the time-out settings in the BIOS.

It also helped to move it to hdb, thus on the first controller, but I am 
not exactly

sure why.  But increasing the BIOS settings worked more consistently.

I have not had the problem since, so I do not know of a more recent fix.


This is a PCMCIA-based CDROM, so I think my situation is different.
Right after the PCMCIA stuff starts, the drive starts to spin up,
I get an ide_cs error about 1 second later.  Since it did work
once, I now have hope.  I am indeed running the vanilla 2.0.36
kernel from the debian 2.1 CD.

Again, I appreciate ANY advice on how to increase the timeout, or
a statement that says it can't be done...

John

X crashed, keyboard blocked...

1999-10-08 Thread Debian Mail
XF86_Mach64 crashed on my system, leaving it in graphics mode. No the
keyboard is blocked and I can't change to a virtual console
anymore. ps aux tells me that the X server is gone. How can I unlock
the keyboard?
