Esta IP se utiliza para dos cosas: para servir nuestra Web (con NT i IIS) i para dar acceso a las dos redes internas a internet (a traves de un proxy wingate).

He hecho lo siguiente: - he creado: /usr/local/packages - he creado: /usr/local/packages/override con los nombres de los paquetes por linea añadiendo 'optional net' - he ejecutado: dpkg-scanpackages . ./overrride Packages - he añadido la siguiente línea en /etc/apt/sources.list: deb file:/usr/local packages/ Cuando ejecuto 'apt-get update' obtengo: Ign file:/usr/local/ packages/ Release y los nuevos paquetes no aparecen en la lista del dselect y si ejecuto 'dpkg -l samba*' obtengo: No packages found matching samba-common_2.0.5a-2_i386.deb. No packages found matching samba-doc_2.0.5a-2_all.deb. No packages found matching samba_2.0.5a-2_i386.deb. ¿que hago mal? ¿cual es la forma correcta de operar? Gracias por anticipado. --- Alberto F.

gxsnmp
Hola a todos: 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 parece 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. También quisiera saber si alguien ha hecho funcionar correctamente el paquete gxsnmp de la distribución slink. He bajado versiones más recientes de gxsnmp de http://www.gxsnmp.org pero no las he podido compilar porque me pide librerías gtk y glib más recientes de las que tengo, pero estoy en ello. Gracias.

Re: any need to upgrade kernel
Hi :) zdrysdal I am running slink with kernel 2.0.36. Is there any advantage to upgrading the kernel. If so, which kernel would be best? Or shall i just leave the kernel alone as things are working fine.. --- (Anyone reading this, please correct me...) Upgrading the Kernel depends on what you need... The newer kernels suppport newer hardware, and have new features. I've heard that if you want to upgrade, 2.2.10 is the best. I'm about to try it, because I'm having a few problems of my own w/ kernel 2.2.1. Upgrading also depends on how good you are @ following step by step instructions. There should be docs and everything with it... Seeing as I don't know how well you work with linux, I would say that if you try it, make yourself a rescue disk first!!

Embarassing NEWBIE Question
Hi, Please forgive me for asking such an embarassing question: I have installed Debian 2.1 on my laptop and have struggled to correctly configure X. So I am now preparing to install XFree86 3.3.5 which I have been told will fix my problem. I have all of the XFree86 3.3.5 files burned onto a CD-ROM. I need to copy the files from the CD-ROM to a temp directory on my /usr partition. Can someone please tell me exactly what I need to type in order to do this? How do I get into the CDROM directory and how do I make Debian copy everything from that CDROM to /usr/temp (a subdirectory I created for this purpose)? Thanks! Bryan

You shouldn't create directories willy nilly except in user directories like /home, or perhaps in /usr/local. For future reference, you might look at http://www.pathname.com/fhs . Am wondering were you got the binaries from? Are they debs (*.deb) or are they tarballs (*.tar.gz, or *.tgz, or just *.tar)? Anyway, you need to mount the cdrom. Try: your_prompt$ mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom For this to work: 1) the empty directory /cdrom must exist (you can use /mnt instead -- it should exist). So mkdir /cdrom if it doesn't exist. 2) /dev/cdrom should be a symlink to the real device name (e.g. /dev/hdc). Can't help you with this without knowing whether you have IDE or SCSI and how those are hooked up. Finally, if it worked. your_prompt$ cp /cdrom/your files /tmp Don't forgot to umount /cdrom when you're done. If you have the man-db installed, you can read up on these commands with man command name. -- ++ | Eric G. Milleregm2@jps.net | | GnuPG public key: http://www.jps.net/egm2/gpg.asc | ++

Please check this one for me (I don't see how this can be anything other than a Netscape bug, but if it is something else, I'd like to know): ... Does Communicator crash with a bus error?? Nope, works just fine -- I can click until I'm blue in the face and Netscape (Navigator) just keeps on truckin'. Hmm. Maybe Navigator is stable and just Communicator is unstable? I'm not suggesting that Netscape is bug free, but it sounds to me like you're on a mission to stress test it to failure. Definitely not. (Well, except for some experiments last night.) Why 2000 bookmarks for heaven's sake? Bookmarking bunches of things as I encounter them, cleaning them up later. (Well, theoretically. That's why the 2000 doesn't get trimmed down to something more reasonable.) How many Netscape windows is it useful to have open at once? As someone else already mentioned, it is frequently useful to open links in a new window. (Sometimes I want to preserve the state of the original page, to be able to go back later to that page and check out other links, no matter how far I traverse from that first link. Sometimes I want to note links of interest but continue reading the original page; I pop open windows and lower them, and eventually get back to them.) Other things I'd look at: What window manager are you using? Does FVWM. Netscape give you fits under several different window managers? What I haven't tried that. other tasks are running? Not much. What does top tell you about your resources? Typically, plenty of free memory. (I have 128MB with 128MB swap.) Etc., etc. In experiments last night, I noticed something about Communicator's behavior. I was opening many, many windows (a hundred?) to probe memory-problem theories. I didn't get any solid results on memory size, but I did notice that after a while, the netscape process would chew up about 90% CPU time when it shouldn't have been doing anything. It would still function (redrawing exposed windows, responding to menu commands, and usually responding to link clicks), but slowly. On different runs, it happened at different resident set sizes (so some crazy theory I had about some (non-Java) garbage collection or other memory management going on at 32MB was, well, crazy.) That was when I hadn't run any Java applets. With Java started, whenever it triggered into 90%-CPU mode, it stopped responding completely. (No exposure redrawing, no menus, no Alt-Q.) Oh yeah, another thing: In non-Java 90% CPU mode, I could quit, but the netscape process would keep running, using 90% CPU. I didn't seem to be only temporary (e.g., to update the history or bookmarks files or something). In one run, middle-clicking on links no longer worked, but right-clicking and using the open in new window menu item still worked. Oh yeah, a different another thing: Those test were with no bookmarks, history, mail, or anything, so I think that rules out file-size or file-contents problems. That was also booted from an alternate root partition with a fairly minimal slink installation I installed (several months ago) to test Communicator without much extra software loaded. That's not a pure test (my regular /usr/local partition was mounted), but it seems unlikely that something odd on my system is causing the problem. Daniel

Sound Card Problem
My system is an old P5-100 with 48 MB RAM and a pnp modem, pnp on the motherboard CS4232 sound card (this is disabled in WIN 95), and an pnp AWE64 Sound Blaster. The trouble I am having is that pnpdump is not seeing the Sound Blaster. On a friends machine (almost the same except no no onboard sound chip) we were able to use pnpdump and configure the isapnp.conf file, recompile the kernel and modules, sound then followed. When may machine is booting I can hear a click like my sound card is initializing but I have completely eliminated the isapnp.conf file and mv the isapnp call out of the boot scripts so what on earth is initializing the card? I don't have any parameters being handed off in LILO and I am assuming that this is where my problem is originating.
Printer Trouble
I am having problems getting my printer to print. I am using lprng and magicfilter. The printer is an HP722c and I know from the How-To that is only partially supported. The trouble is that when I issue a lpr test.file I get a message that says the message couldn't be sent. I can't remember the exact syntax but it seems like I can't get the file to spool even though lpd is running. How do I send an lp=blah from LILO as I think this is a lot of the problem.

I have done the xfstt --sync and it found 198 fonts as I said before and I added the line FontPath unix/:7101 to my XF86Config file and still when I startx, I don't get the true type fonts. I have tried adding the font folder to the xfs config file and that does not work either (though it shouldn't because I did not have X connect to xfs). Now, should I continue to try to get X to connect to the xfstt server or just user the xfs server???

Netscape and exim?

Can I use pine, exim, fetchmail, procmail and netscape together for email or is it not recommended.

Compact version for running on 486/33 or /66 with 8-32 Mb ram
While worming through the pages I found a reference to a compact verison of Debian installation that was designed to work on a 486. I have not been able to find the link since, after 3 days of looking. Is there anyone that can direct me to the site where I can get more information on the deployment of DEBIAN on a relatively small 486 system? Or was my image an illusion of too many hours starring at a screen.
Re: any need to upgrade kernel
I am running slink with kernel 2.0.36. Is there any advantage to upgrading the kernel. If so, which kernel would be best? Not really. If your installation is fine, stay with it. There have been some nasty bugs in the 2.2 series, so you're better off with a tried and tested kernel (2.0). Believe me, I was bitten badly by the 2.2.11 problem, and 2.2.12 was not 100% right either. I've gotta get out of this habit of upgrading for the sake of it! :-) Regards, Brian --- E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home page: http://users.lia.net/jonnes/
Re: DISPLAY
Brian May: Check that DISPLAY isn't being set by one of your login scripts. It's not, I checked both /etc/profile and my .bash* files, nothing there sets it. Are you using screen? It occurs whether I'm using screen or not. What Debian version are you using slink (stable) or potato (unstable)? I'm following the unstable distribution. -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/
Re: any need to upgrade kernel
depends .. if your running SMP you may want to upgrade if you want access to NTFS drives you may want to upgrade if you use a TV card you may want to upgrade 2.2 provides some pretty good overall perforamnce boosters, but its clear to me its still not really stable yet..i'm holding off on 2.2 on my servers till at least 2.4 is out. my dual processor server is still running 2.0 even. 2.2.10 has prooved to be a great kernel for me. haven't seen any reports about adverse effects when using 2.2.13 as of yet .. if your not planning on upgrading/changing your hardware(to something that may only be supported in kernel 2.2/2.3/2.4) i'd suggest to stay with 2.0. nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Wed, 27 Oct 1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I am running slink with kernel 2.0.36.

re: Netscape memory hoarding
Daniel Barclay wrote: I didn't get any solid results on memory size, but I did notice that after a while, the netscape process would chew up about 90% CPU time when it shouldn't have been doing anything. It would still function (redrawing exposed windows, responding to menu commands, and usually responding to link clicks), but slowly. On different runs, it happened at different resident set sizes (so some crazy theory I had about some (non-Java) garbage collection or other memory management going on at 32MB was, well, crazy.) That was when I hadn't run any Java applets. With Java started, whenever it triggered into 90%-CPU mode, it stopped responding completely. (No exposure redrawing, no menus, no Alt-Q.) Oh yeah, another thing: In non-Java 90% CPU mode, I could quit, but the netscape process would keep running, using 90% CPU. I didn't seem to be only temporary (e.g., to update the history or bookmarks files or something). I get exactly the same problem fairly frequently, resulting in a reboot as the only way to free the memory that I know of.

Re: manual kernel recompile vs make-kpkg

I'll try, but I don't know much about the System.map file, so what I tell you could be wrong - you have been warned. :-) The System.map file is a map of the symbols in the kernel, and their location (I think, if you look at the file it has what looks like addresses and then a symbol name in the third column (I'm not sure what that other character means, the t/T in the second column)). Some programs (top, ps, etc.) can use the System.map to discover and display extra information... If you have the wrong System.map file for the current kernel, when you start those programs, they'll complain. Most/all of the programs which use the System.map now look for it in the following order: /boot/System.map-kernel-version /boot/System.map I think it looks in at least one other place, but I don't remember where that is (sorry). I haven't actually come across any information about the use of the System.map so far, which is why I don't really know a great deal. Maybe it's one of those things which you know the purpose of it if you truly have a use for it. ;-) The file isn't critical to the running of a system, so if you don't bother updating it, I don't think anything Really Bad (TM) will happen. Oh, if you use make-kpkg to build kernels, when you install them with dpkg the updating of the System.map is handled as part of that, so you don't have to worry about it. If someone can post a better explanation, or a pointer to some information, I'd be very grateful... -- [ Matthew Gregan ] [ GPG ID: B63A1E95 ] [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ GPG fingerprint: FB83 2911 F170 B31C 9E4A E382 CA8A A2F6 B63A 1E95 ] pgpM6TI9carJ8.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: just curious about Debian vs Redhat
i choose debian because.. - it seems to have the largest number of developers - it has BY FAR the most binary packages (2000+ in slink 4000+ in potato) - it is well respected as being a stable and secure linux i have not, do not, and will not choose redhat because .. - many software products are designed for it and don't support other distributions, not just software(applications) but drivers too. examples would be drivers for DPT raid controllers and 3com network adapters(the ones from 3com) come in binary form and depend on you using the kernel that comes with redhat. while this is not(probably) redhat's direct fault i can't help but feel some negative stuff towards them. while at other times software companies may refuse to work with you on support issues if your not using redhat, doesn't matter if the distribution your running is 101% compadible, if its not what they said you should run you're screwed. - they jump too quickly into adopting new software. i was kinda pissed when they adopted glibc before most everyone else, most people started developing stuff for glibc (and the early glibcs had MAJOR problems i saw people talking about adding hundreds of megs of updates to get redhat's glibc stuff working right) and would not run(binaries at least) and sometimes wouldn't compile on libc5 (at the time i was using slackware). they've done the same with glibc2.1 now. i think they were the first to adopt glibc2.1 on the x86 platform ?? so..chances are if u d/l a binary for redhat 6 ..you can't run it on glibc2.0 ..i also have read that when they first adopted GNOME it was still quite buggy and crashed often. i hear mandrake is good though, some have said mandrake is 'redhat done right' ..(somewhere along those lines) i think redhat is doing good things for the communitity, and although there are some side effects to their efforts to commercialize linux, they do good things, they want what's best..what's best isnt always possible for them(i.e. they gotta support intel more now that intel's invested in them, same for VA Linux systems, you see them selling AMD servers? or PowerPC? or Alpha?), which is what is great about linux, you HAVE a choice :) just my opinion. nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Tue, 26 Oct 1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've used both Debian (at home) and Redhat (at work).

If Netscape couldn't generate a lot of interest and energy for Mozilla, what makes you think Sun can get the attention of the free software community?
