Un amigo que tiene la suerte de conectar por cable con tarifa plana se bajo los 3 cds de potato el fin de semana pasado, y un asco. Al instalar, dselect daba problemas de dependencias por todos lados (slang, libc6 y apt estaban en conflicto). Incluso de algunos programas requeria versiones anteriores! Tu amigo fue a bajarse la distribución durante los 4 dias que se estaba llevando a cabo el upgrade de slang. Hay muchos paquetes que lo requieren, y no es posible actualizarlos todos a la vez, se tarda algunos días en actualizarlo. La culpa no es de Potato, es difícil hacer este tipo de upgrades en vivo. Más bien diría que es una gran idea probar el estado de Potato en el mismo instante en el que te propones a bajarlo. Y si no la tienes instalada, en esta lista, por ejemplo, muchas personas te podrían haber dicho Eh, quieto, que ahora esta un poco liada la cosa!.

Foro LDP-es en II Congreso Hispalinux
Estimados y caros amigos: Espero que estéis al tanto del II Congreso Hispalinux que va a celebrarse en Madrid los días 5 y 6 de noviembre. En caso de que no os aviso de que estáis todos invitados y que encontraréis cumplida información en http://congreso.hispalinux.es. En cualquier caso el motivo de la presente es invitar a la comunidad LDP-es a participar en el «Foro LDP-es» que tendrá lugar dentro del mismo el día 5 a las 20:15 aproximadamente. La única aspiración de este evento es, por primera vez, reunir a todos los que con su esfuerzo hacen posible la documentación libre en español en general y los que lo hacen para GNU/Linux en particular. Al menos a todos los que físicamente puedan asistir. Esto quiere decir que no existe un programa prefijado, sino que improvisaremos en función de las peticiones de los asistentes y de las inquietudes que aparezcan a lo largo del acto. Por favor: haced llegad copias de esta invitación a todos aquellos que penséis que merecen estar aquí. No queremos que nadie se sienta discriminado. Más al contrario. Con enorme ilusión: la organización.

No es por hacer crítica destructiva, pero creo que en cuanto a estabilidad es conocido por todos que el Netscape a veces es un poco una mierda, principalmente es cierto que suele pasar con las páginas que tienen java, en la página de retevision por ejemplo, a mí a veces me la carga, otra veces se queda pillado y otras veces se cierra directamente... en definitiva... p En cualquier caso, para aquel que se preguntaba sobre la estabilidad de linux frente a windows... netscape no es Linux, es un software no especialmente bien hecho para Linux...

Re: Sun goes fully open source!
Ed Cogburn wrote: They won't release SO source under GPL, they have their own version called the Sun Community License. From a few comments I've heard elsewhere, its not free in the freedom sense. SO now is basically Sun's product; so the company needs to make sure that any developments made into the product would still be conforming to Sun's specification. I think it's understandable. Take a look at Sun's JDK; nobody is allowed to change Java spec without permission from Sun, but I believe that anybody can freely _implement_ the spec anyway he/she wants. Look at Netscape's Mozilla and the Mozilla Public Lincense. 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? If Sun Community License lacks the appeal, why don't you ask Sun to release SO's source under GPL? At least, the codes for Linux (strip all the supporting codes for any other platforms except for Linux). What's so ugly about SCL? If the freedom you mean is the freedom to tweak SO anyway you want and still label it SO, how would you know that the product, in the long run, would still be compatible with the SO that's backed by Sun? I think even if Sun is willing to release SO codes under GPL, Sun would need to create somekind of SO Specification; which has to be free, money wise. Disclaimer: I am aware that Mozilla isn't 'dead', its progressing slowly, but its clear Netscape didn't get the reaction it wanted from the programmers of the free software world. If the programmers of the free software world are not interested to develop Mozilla, well, I believe that Netscape never listens to what they say (or, the programmers might have never said anything to Netscape).

RE: is debian eating my memory?
Sounds about right. If you have 32Mb of ram, and your apps are only using, say 10Mb, Linux is smart enough to use the free memory as disk-cache, rather than have it going to waste. As soon as this disk-cache memory is needed by some other application, Linux will free it. Bryan On 28-Oct-99 Jacob Schmude Your Jacob Schmude wrote: Hello I've got 32 mb in this p166 mmx system.

Re: Utilities for keeping time sync for a machine behind a firewall ?
Shaul Karl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: I am behind a firewall. What utilities are there that will let me keep the time synchronized with another machine on the Internet ? Ouch. Your best bet would be to ask your firewall administrator to synchronize the firewall with NTP, and then to synchronize your machine to the firewall. If, as is often the case, your firewall admin is too boneheaded (or has his/her hands tied by management), then you're out of luck. Maybe some other machine inside the firewall could be used as a time source. If time synchronization is really important (e.g., if you want to sync a server, not just your desktop box), then you might be able to put pressure on the firewall admins from above by presenting a business case for implementing time synchronization on the server. Or if you can actually get a (*gasp*) budget, then you might be able to invest in a radio clock, GPS or similar hardware to bypass the firewall.

If you are going to run your own DNS server, you may want to have a backup server or secondary server. When I registered mine, I went to http://www.networksolutions.com/to see if the domain I wanted was available. If it is, register it. Call your ISP for information about their DNS servers with IP numbers. This will save you money when registering. If you register without ISP information, the cost is higher. Next call your ISP and ask him to make entries in his DNS tables to point to the static IP of your web server. I would recommend arranging this with your ISP ahead of time so they can give you any pointers you may need. -paul -Original Message-From: Daniel Yang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Thursday, October 28, 1999 10:14 PMTo: debian-user@lists.debian.orgSubject: YourDomain setup I just set up my apache web server.

On the install I think you should only initialize the various linux partitions leave your win other os's alone.

So I'm stuck b/c I can't run Win98 since the boot disk for Win98 doesn't actually install necessary drivers to run it (it just loads and runs command.com and you get a:\ prompt). Typing 'win' and c:\ prompt doesn't do anything. I can't install any Debian packages since I can't establish a 'PPP' connection. Pls. respond if you can tell me what to do.

how to make Packages file and set sources.list for misc. downloaded .deb files
I want to do something that should be simple, but apparently isn't. I have a local collection of miscellaneous .deb files. I want to be able to use apt-get on then. It is quite unclear how the various pieces of the system (the directory name, the sources.list entry, the dpkg-scanpackages command arguments, etc.) fit together. (Besides being is out of sync with the software, the documentation (at least in slink (apt version 0.3.10slink11) ) is missing some crucial information). I can't figure out how various tools expect to be run.) Can someone tell me exactly what I need to do to generates a Packages.gz file and set up apt's source.list file to work with a local collection of miscellaneous Debian package files? I want to know how to make this work in general, but here's the current situation: - I have used mirror to get KDE Debian package files from ftp://ftp.varesearch.com/pub/mirrors/kde/stable/1.1.2/distribution/deb - that FTP directory contains: slink/ slink/i386/ slink/i386/Packages.gz slink/i386/*.deb - that pre-built Packages.gz file contains Filename entries like Filename: /i386/qt1g-doc_1.44-6_all.deb. - Mirroring that FTP directory to a similarly-named local directory /usr/local/src/mirror/other/kde/mirror/stable/1.1.2/distribution/deb yielded a Packages.gz file at /usr/local/src/mirror/other/kde/mirror/stable/1.1.2/distribution/deb/slink/i386/Packages.gz and *.deb files in the same directory, such as /usr/local/src/mirror/other/kde/mirror/stable/1.1.2/distribution/deb/slink/i386/kdesupport0g-dev_1.1.2-19990906-1.0_i386.deb Is it true that that directory hierarchy cannot be used by apt? (It seems that apt always inserts dists when processing an entry in sources.list. However, man sources.list says absolutely nothing about inserting dists, and one example seemingly contradicts that: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian dists/stable-updates Also, it seems that apt always appends its own architecture suffix (binary-i386).) So what exactly must I do to use apt? It seems that I must structure my directories to include .../dists/.../binary-i386 in the pathname. Is that correct? To have dists and binary-i386 in the directory pathname, I copied my directory .../kde/mirror/stable/1.1.2/distribution/deb/slink/i386/ to .../kde/mirror/stable/1.1.2/dists/binary-i386/ With a sources.list entry of deb file:/root/mirror/other/kde/mirror/stable/1.1.2/ . . that seemed to work with apt-get. However, when I tried to install a package (with either apt-get install xxx or using dselect), I got this error: Err file:/root/mirror/other/kde/mirror/stable/1.1.2/ ./. kdebase-doc 4:1.1.2-19990906-1 File not found Failed to fetch file:/root/mirror/other/kde/mirror/stable/1.1.2//i386/kdebase-doc_1.1.2-19990906-1_all.deb File not found That makes some sense. Evidently, apt uses file names from the Filename entries in the Packages.gz file, and they listed a directory of /i386, (and didn't list dists/ or binary-i386). So how do I name the directory so that apt can find the Packages.gz file (e.g, containing dists and ending in binary-386), AND so that apt can find the *.deb files (ending with i386)? Is there some directory pathname that will work with that pre-built Packages.gz file, or is it screwed up to start with? Well, never mind the pre-built Packages.gz file; I want to know how to create it myself (for when I assemble a miscellaneous collection of *.deb files). Before generating a Packages.gz file I think I need to know what the requirements are on the directory pathname. None of the documentation seems to address that. Will any directory pathname containing .../dists/... and ending in .../binary-i386/ be usuable, or are there further restrictions? My copied directory seemed to work before, so I kept it, and deleted the copied original packages file .../kde/mirror/stable/1.1.2/dists/binary-i386/Package.gz I do know about dpkg-scanpackages. (There's not anything else I should be using, is there?) Okay, so which directory do I want to specify to dpkg-scanpackages? man dpkg-scanpackages says: binarydir is the name of the binary tree to process (for example, contrib/binary-i386). It is best to make this relative to the root of the Debian archive, because every Filename field in the new Packages file will start with this string. First of all, which directory do I want to specify? Do I want to specify just the bottom directory .../kde/mirror/stable/1.1.2/dists/binary-i386 or might I want .../kde/mirror/stable/1.1.2/dists (or possibly .../kde/mirror/stable/1.1.2)? Second, how exactly do I want to specify the directory? Specifically, which directory counts as the root of the Debian archive? For a Debian directory like /root/mirror/debian/dists/slink/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/... accessed by a sources.list entry of deb

Smaller icons for Gnome?
I just recently got a new Twinhead Powerslim laptop and installed Debian on it. Works great so far--I haven't bothered to get the sound working yet, but there was no problem with anything else. I'm especially happy that I got it without Windows installed. But the laptop only has a 12 800x600 screen, and the default Gnome setup takes a really inordinate amount of that, mostly due to the large icons. This is helped by making the panel a hidden corner panel, but smaller icons would be better. How can I change Gnome to use smaller icons? (I'm using up-to-the-minute potato.)

Wvdial and non-root access
Only root is able to use wvdial, even though I thought wvdial has been set up for use by non-root users. When I, as user david, type wvdial, I get an error that david cannot have access to /dev/ttyS1. That's better than before, when david couldn't access the wvdial.conf file. david has been added to both the dip and dialout groups. Any idea why root still is only able to use wvdial? -- David J.

Rerun the win98 installation program. That will overwrite the mbr, and kill lilo.

If you ever need to remove Linux from a friend's PC again :-), run lilo -u before removing the linux partition. That should uninstall lilo from the mbr.

Re: Wvdial and non-root access
Only root is able to use wvdial, even though I thought wvdial has been set up for use by non-root users. was wvdial set up for this by yourself, or by the wvdial install program? When I, as user david, type wvdial, I get an error that david cannot have access to /dev/ttyS1. That's better than before, when david couldn't access the wvdial.conf file. My solution to this is to restrict the access to the wvdial executable and make it suid. This isn't technically the safest way of doing it but I'd rather have a simple solution I can keep track of, rather than a complicated solution that I can't. I also have a suid wrapper to 'kill pidofwvdial' available so that any user in the appropriate groups can take the modem offline no matter who put it online.

Bash Aliases problem
This message was sent from Geocrawler.com by prabhakar chaganti [EMAIL PROTECTED] Be sure to reply to that address. Hi everyone: I am trying to set up some aliases for frequently used commands. I have tried adding them to ~/.bashrc and /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc,but have not had any luck in getting bash to recognize the aliases.Would there be any reason at all that my ~/.bashrc would not get read by bash. After making the changes, I have tried both logging out and logging back in, and sourcing the .bashrc file to try to get bash to see the aliases. I checked to see if there is any syntax error by trying out each alias from the commandline. All of them seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong here??
