DOS problemas con DOSemu
Hola a todos. TEngo el Dosemu funcionando en una potato, con resultados bastante aceptables, pero tengo dos cosas que ho he conseguido que funcionen. Os cuento. La primera es que necesito conexión con una red Novell. Según la documentación, basta con ejecutar el programa netx.exe (que por cierto, no viene con debian). El caso es que funciona, pero a medias. Me explico. El netx sólo consigue conectar con el servidor novell si el dosemu se ha iniciado como root, si lo ejecuta cualquier usuario, no es capaz de encontrar ningún servidor. La doc del dosemu no dice nada al respecto, y no acabo de ver la solución. Lo único que se me ha ocurrido es instalar sudo, pero con el dosemu me parece mala política, pues puede suponer un agujero de seguridad tremendo (miedo me da pensar que a alguien se le ocurra trastear con lredir...). El otro problema/duda es con el teclado. He conseguido que funcionen ñ's, acentos y demás parafernalia, pero tengo problemas con las combinaciones de teclas. En las X las combinaciones CTRL+tecla, ALT+tecla... tienen funciones definidas, lo que las imposibita para programas como el WP5.1 (¿alguno se acuerda de él?). Creo que se puede remapear el teclado con el dosemu, pero no se cómo. En la consola es todavía peor ¿A alguien se le ocurre algo? -- Un Saludo Han Solo The Rebel Alliance Conecto, luego existo.

¿LyX para archivos .tex?
Hola, saludos a todos. Estoy liado escribiendo cosas en LaTeX y es un poco coñazo. Me preguntaba si es posible abrir archivos con extensión .tex desde LyX porque me han dicho que desde allí es más fácil lo de insertar figuras, tablas y esas cosas, pero por más que lo he intentado no he sido capaz de abrir ningún archivo que no tenga extensión .lyx. ¿Alguien controla el LyX y me puede decir cómo hacerlo? Además, tampoco soy capaz de escribir caracteres como , # ó _ en LaTeX (me da error al compilar), ¿alguna sugerencia de cómo hacerlo? Muchísimas gracias de nuevo por vuestra ayuda. Emilio.

Re: [Off-topic: sólo España] Conexión ADSL
En la oficina tenemos una linea ADSL conectada a un compaq en WINDOWS. Ayer hice la siguiente prueba. 1.- Tomé nota de las configuraciones del compaq con el programa winipcfg. Principalmente dirección ip y dirección del gateway. La conexión en la oficina es la siguiente: línea a 2 hilos ethernet |separador |-|ADSL|-|Compaq| |ADSL/telefono |-| | || telefono | La línea a dos hilos entra en un separador ADSL LP de Alcatel, este equipo separa la señal ADSL y la línea telefónica. La parte ADSL va a un modem ADSL. Este equipo se conecta al Compaq por medio de una red ethernet a una tarjeta ethernet del ordenador. 2.- La salida ethernet del equipo ADSL la conecté a mi PC con Linux. Le cambié al Linux la dirección IP por la que tenía el Compaq y le puse la dirección IP de gateway y el DNS que tenía el Compaq. Arranqué el Netscape y funcionó a la primera. Me bajé varios ficheros de Internet. En Linux solo tengo una tarjeta ethernet y estaba conectada al equipo ADSL. 3.- Yo creo que esto funciona con direcciones IP fijas. También creo que que la dirección de gateway es la dirección IP asignada al modem ADSL en el otro extremo del cable. El modem ADSL tiene su tarjeta ethernet con su MAC address y creo que se le asigna una dirección IP que es la que se usa como gateway para el PC. De esto último no estoy totalmente seguro. Saludos. De paso quería saber si alguien ha usado el paquete gxsnmp que viene en la distribución de slink. Lo he cargado y arranca bien, pero al intentar dar de alta algún host el programa casca parace ser que por la librería gtk. Sin embargo otras funcionalidades como dar de alta una red sí funcionan. Estoy muy interesado en la gestión de redes por medio de snmp. He usado el programa mrtg y el skotty.Si alguien me puede decir algun otro paquete de gestión de redes SNMP interesante en entorno Linux se lo agradecería.

Error installing 3COM driver
All: I am attempting to install Debian 2.1. My NIC is a 3COM EtherLink III 3C509B ISA card. In the driver configuration part of the installation process I choose the 3c509 driver and attempt to enter the command line io=0x300 irq=10 which is suggested by the installation program, and which I know to be correct for my card. The driver /lib/modules/2.0.36/net/3c509.o reports the error symbol for parameter io not found. This appears to be a fault in the driver module. I downloaded drv1440.bin, resc1440.bin and base2_1.tgz from Debian's site on Friday (99.10.15). Installing the driver with no command line succeeds, but results in a non-functioning NIC. Is there a fix, or can anyone suggest a workaround? Thanks, -eb- / // Evan Burkitt // [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geburkitt.com/

No script changes it. It's part of the netbase package, if I'm

Which script creates the file network?
I had problems too with /etc/modules. modconf did not modify the wrong

So I removed /etc/modules and did a modconf.

The only time you need to do that in my experience is if you have multiple Ethernet cards or the card is set up using an io/irq range that is not detected by the driver. What I've done with my 3c509's is to use the 3Com configuration utility (in MSDOS) and turn off Plug and Play and set specific a IO/IRQ. Settings of io=0x300 and irq=10 are good ones that the driver should have no trouble with. Now install Debian and when installing the 3c509 driver don't provide any parameters at all, it doesn't need it. It should tell you that the driver was installed OK. If you are dual booting WinXX you want it to be able to use the card also. You should turn off Plug and Play from the IRQ you have set the Ethernet card to, if you're BIOS lets you do that. If your BIOS doesn't allow that, then you can go in to the system-devices settings under the WinXX control panel and set an IRQ/IO I believe. In any case, these cards work well and should be easy to configure. Hope this helps.

I'm going to bet this was done to allow the kernel to automatically shut off the power on systems that have support for software power control. If you look at the code, you can see that the kernel isn't actually making this decision, it's the halt command that is doing it (by setting the value of the flag argument to the reboot() system call). I suppose it was determined that a shutdown command should power off the system if possible. If you don't like that, get the source for halt and change it :}

At least under a Debian 2.1 (slink)/Linux 2.2.12 combination. if you compile support for APM and activate the power down on shutdown then if your hardware supports software power off control then your machine will power down after linux shuts down, just like it would do if you ran win*. if you don't have that APM option turned on it won't work though, I think debian leaves those off by default since some BIOSes are broken and cause crashes with linux APM code.

RE: dselect is killing me
I'm sure I'm going to get flamed from here to hell and back, but I suggest getting a very basic book on Linux. Linux for Dummies might not be a bad idea. I'm sure others might disagree, but I really do find dummies books better for beginners than anything else out there. Most linux books are written in such a way that they assume the user knows things about file permissions and what a kernel is. 2 years ago, most people starting out with Linux had some unix experience, or were on a college campus crawling with CompSci majors who did. That doesn't seem to be the case now. The dummies books are great to get you started, but you'll probably want to read some of the stuff in the Linux Documentation Project to really get going. That being said, I think you should recompile the kernel. If that frightens you, you may just want to reinstall. I know that thats a very Windowsish response, but it really sounds like something fucked up during the install. If you can mount your debian CD, make sure you have the kernel-source. keernel-headers, and kernel-package installed Debian has a special way of building new kernels. If you need directions, let me know. Lastly, don't be afraid to hose your system. You're still learning. Since you are just starting with Linux, don't put any sensitive data on the machine (checkbook, etc.) that you aren't prepared to loose. You can do that after another month or two. But definately stick it out. Linux is very cool once you know your way around. On 19-Oct-99 jh wrote: At 10:41 PM 10/18/99 -0400, you wrote: Did you, by chance, re-compile your kernel?

I had found a utility called afpfs or something like that to allow mounting of mac shares but it appeared to be abandoned and would not compile (this was source not a debian specific thing.) there just does not seem to be very much interest in maintaining mac - GNU/Linux tools, hfs fs appears to be virtually unmaintained too (from discussions on linux-ppc lists it is incompatible with 2.3 kernels and so far does not look like its going to be anytime soon either) netatalk as you can see has not been modified in quite a long time (2, 3 years now?) and has some problems on the mac side...

Re: Modem connection transfer rate
Those are compression modules. Basically, PPP provides a compression layer, so when easily-compressible data is send over the wire (eg. text/images), it gets compressed, thus being faster over a modem. The compression modules get loaded when you establish a connection with compression enabled. This is generally a Good Thing. So don't worry. Those modules are always there (in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/??misc??), and they get dynamically loaded into memory. Sorry for being redundant and repeating myself.

I've included pretty much every parallel and SCSI driver, and all the MCA stuff I need, but the box simply won't find the drive. Trying to boot DOS and use DOS drivers for the CDROM locks up the box.

Re: Modem connection transfer rate
Sorry, I don't remember, exactly (it was on my old RedHat system, before I wiped and went to Debian) something like: REPORT CONNECT REPORT CARRIER then you had to add something to the script that calls chat, so the reports get written to some file (why I said RTFM, because I don't know). Basically, wmppp.app checks the file that those reports get sent to for the modem line like: CONNECT 49333/ARQ/V90/LPM/BLAH/BLAH to detetrmine what your connect speed is. If you can figure out where wmppp looks for it, and can set up the chat script (and PPP script that calls it) to write reports to that file, all will be good.

Basically, PPP provides a compression layer, so when easily-compressible data is send over the wire (eg. text/images), it gets compressed, thus being faster over a modem. The compression modules get loaded when you establish a connection with compression enabled. This is generally a Good Thing. So don't worry. Those modules are always there (in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/??misc??), and they get dynamically loaded into memory. Sorry for being redundant and repeating myself.

Re: Netmeeting and ipfw
Hi Perjan I have video and audio going out of my private network but I was unable to get audio coming in. I've heard that netmeeting sends the IP address of the machine in the payload of the packet which in my case is a private IP address. If netmeeting on my machine runs as a server for my party to connect to it is easy to see why it wouldn't work. Anyway there's a program called phone patch that should make it possible at http://www.equival.com/phonepatch/ but I get a segmentation fault when I try to run it in 2.1. (does it work for anybody else?) Is there any documentation on how to get netmeeting to work accross IP masquarading in debian? Thanks, Brad PS, Can you please post any other replys. Hi, In some news archive I found your message about ipfw and netmeeting (from may 1998!). Did you get it working? For me, I can receive audio and video, but can't send any. Probably netmeeting is setting up peerconnections, sending audio and video. How about ICQ? I sometimes am not able to setup a chat-connection. Probably the same thing: the other party trying to set up a connection top me. Are proxies for ICQ and netmeetring available? If you have any suggestions please reply. Thanx, Perjan.

At Wits end with X server crashing with Segmentation Fault!
Hi, I had posted the problem last week and someone had suggested that I reinstall the X binaries, which I did. But the problem persists and my X windows crashes with signal 11 error. Any suggestions? Rajesh
Slink wine not working
Guys, I am on Debian 2.1.2 ( cheapbytes ). It contains wine-19980413. It does not do anything. It runs nothing and generates no error messages. I have OpenDOS mounted on /opendos. I have made a windows\system directory on it and 'touch'ed a win.ini file in it. The win.ini is empty. I do not have Windows installed. Is my problem related to the empty win.ini file ? If so can I just take a copy of someone's win.ini file and plug it in there ? Could someone send me his/ her copy of a 16-bit win.ini file ? That is what is said in the wine-FAQ supplied with my CDs. Thanks. PAI
Re: Thinkpad 560 - some info, a couple questions
Hi again, Have you tried the linux tpctl ? in that case, what does tpctl --info-all report? Just curious, to compare it with mine. Marius. On Sat, Oct 16, 1999 at 02:18:36PM -0700, John Miskinis wrote: Hi Marius, Thanks for the info. It appears you have a VERY old BIOS, as I downdraded mine recently from the IBM 1.1 system disk (I was previously using 1.2). My Power Management version is 1.35 (yours 1.25) My BIOS is 1.28 (yours 0.21) The Thinkpad Configuration software is the Windows based stuff in the uttp2 software from IBM. It gives you a GUI based configuration utility. It's tough to tell what stuff is in the BIOS and what stuff is in windows when you are using it, as it jumps to the standard windows screens for some things. I'm not even sure when I set the Use APM 1.0 compatibility toggle, if that is changing the BIOS, or changing how WINDOWS communcates WITH the BIOS. Very confusing. And, I not sure I would want to downgrade my BIOS to what you have, the version is REAL low, and I read some notes about the fixes in each version, and I'm scared! I doubt I could even find the kit for that BIOS. I posted some questiosn about getting the minimal potato packages to get the 2.2.1 kernal (and newer enlightenment/gnomw) running, but got no responses.

Did I swamp fetchmail and it needed to catch its breath? If you're using exim (from slink, version 2.05), only 10 mails are delivered at once. The other mails are waiting in the smtp-queue. With 'exim -qf' you can deliver the waiting mails manually. There is also an undocumented configuration option which tells exim to deliver the mails without queueing. Add smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 0 to the main configuration settings of /etc/exim.conf. There are some other options for smtp, which are described in the manual from exim.

Re: can I list just the directories, executables?
It might have been a fluke, so far I have not been able to get it to work again. And ctrl-alt-del said it would shut down the system but then I got several messages saying PID (blah) appears to be hung. and then the system locked tight, had to power it off. I will keep an eye on it tho, and do some testing, and if I can get it to repeat I will file a bug report about it. Thanks!

If yes, it´s worth a bug report. Could you start a new bash with strace and/or gdb and make it crash? (Not that *I* could debug it...)

The system seems to work fine, except it no longer recognizes my PCMCIA card modem.

I've added an entry for the modem in /etc/pcmcia/config and it doesn't help. The modem is a Megahertz XJ2288 V.34 Fax Modem. What I did to install the PCMCIA support was: download pcmcia-cs.tar.gz to /usr/src unpack it -- automatically unpacks in /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs after making the kernal image, used make-kpkg [revision name] modules_image after moving the modules from the previous kernel to a different directory, installed the pcmcia-modules .deb I had a similar problem, and I found this bit in section 4.4 of the PCMCIA-Howto: If you configure your kernel to load the basic Linux serial port driver as a module, you must edit /etc/pcmcia/config to indicate that this module must be loaded.

XF86 probs on IBM Thinkpad 360Cs
Hi all... It's me again... :( Okay... Here's the deal... I've got the same IBM 360Cs up and running in the text mode...When I run X (or even the XF86Setup), the display goes blank.
