Recompile el kernel con soporte para discos SCSI y este disco esta formateado con ext2. Sera que me falto alguna opcion en el kernel por incluir ? Si tu particion raiz va a estar en el disco SCSI necesitaras que el kernel contenga todo el soporte necesario para ello compilado estaticamente en el nucleo.

¿Alguien sabe cuanto tiempo tarda en descagarse un módulo? Es que por lo menos en mi sistema tarda un rato de narices en descargarse le módulo, aunque lleve minutos sin ser utilizado. Como ejemplo si hago un: # cat /dev/sndstat Luego espero a que se me descarge el módulo de sonido y han pasado 10 minutos y no se han descargado. No hay nada accediendo a los dispositivos de audio. Ya digo, sólo accedí al '/dev/sndstat'. A ver si alguien me explica lo que estoy haciendo mal.

Re: inetd.conf apache
Apache en el 'inetd.conf': En el fichero 'inetd.conf' no se utilizan los scripts de '/etc/inet.d'. Sólo hace falta ver los ejemplos de otros paquetes instalados. Por ejemplo el EXIM: smtpstream tcp nowait mail/usr/sbin/exim exim -bs Como puedes ver se llama directamente al script. Por tanto, para el apache sería: www stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/apache Nota: No se si apache está en '/usr/sbin/apache', tampoco se si tienes que pasarle opciones al comando. En ese caso la línea sería www stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/apache apache --debug -lk Donde yo pongo 'root' deberías poner 'nobody'. Pero es que en mi sistema el demonio de HTTP sólo puede ser ejecutado por el 'root'. No me preguntes porqué. Nota bis: Si lo que quieres es ahorrar un poco de memoria no cargando el Apache, piensalo dos veces. Al tener que cargarlo cada vez que quieras usar, tendrá que realizar la inicialización. En demonios pequeños como el 'pop3d' o el 'figerd' esto no se nota apenas, así que todo el mundo los tiene en el 'inetd'. Pero el Apache es grande y 'rasca' al cargarse. Si cada vez que vas a solicitar una página se va a tener que cargar, lo que ahorras en memoria lo puedes gastar en espera. Por otro lado, no hay que tener miedo a tener demonios cargados en memoria aunque no los estés usando. El 'swap' del Linux es muy inteligente y eficiente. Por ejemplo en mi sistema tengo el demonio 'dictd'. Lo uso escasamente y como puedes ver: FLAGS UID PID PPID PRI NI SIZE RSS WCHAN STA TTY TIME COMMAND 40 65534 134 1 0 0 12368 0 wait_for_co SW ? 0:00 (dictd) Está metido en el swap (los parentesos quieren decir que está metido en el SWAP, como el 'SW' quiere decir). Por tanto aunque lo tengo en memoria, en realidad no me está ocupando memoria alguna. Cuando me haga falta (o lo ejecute), el Linux lo sacará del SWAP y se ejecutará casi instantaneamente. (Sacar del Swap un programa es mucho más rápido que rejecutarlo, porque el Swap es un volcado de memoria puro y duro). Truco del almendruco: Yo muchas veces hago uso del Swap a proposito. Si se que voy a trabajar con el GIMP, lo tengo cargado y se que a los 2 minutos de no usarlo me lo mete en el Swap y me deja toda la memoria libre. Pero cuando lo use me ahorro todo el preiodo de carga de los plugins y todo esto. Lo mismo se puede aplicar a ladrillos atómicos como el Emacs o el WordPerfect. Puede ser una buena idea tenerlos en memoria y dejar que el Linux los swapee. -- Saudos: ose[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Vigo/Galicia/España) http://pagina.de/xmanoel/ http://w3.to/mikkeli/ 11/26 Cream performs their farewell concert at Royal Albert Hall, 1968 11/26 (11/26/1865) Alice in Wonderland published. 11/26 (11/26/1938) Richard Caruthers Little, impressionist.

Re: Mouse problem
Hi, You can try the following: 1. go to prompt mode (test mode) by xdm stop 2. use XF86Setup to set the port and protocol for your mouse. 3. start xwin, the mouse should work. If not, you can check two files, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config, and /etc/gpm.conf, make sure the port and protocol are set correctly. Before any check, make sure your kernel support the mouse type.

That document says Debian became a full ELF compliant system with the release of 1.1 and it has not changed the library infrastructure since then. The only other info I could find on the net says that a.out is an old system and ELF replaced it. Does anybody know what I need to do to Debian linux to be able to install Xfree86? Do I need to install a package that was not included in the initial 7 bin files i.e., base14-1.bin, base14-2.bin, etc ???

Cant' find stdio.h????? Huh?
Hi, I've been compiling kernels a lot lately without problems. Then tonight I type make xconfig and get a bunch of errors about not being able to find some pretty standard include files like stdio.h, stdlib.h, string.h etc. Confused, I do a cd / and then execute a find command looking for the files. They are nowhere to be found. I then do a tar tvfz on my kernel sources tar.gz file and grep for stdio.h. Its not there either! I am really confused. Where should all of the standard C headers go and how can I get them back? Thanks, Brian

fetchmail doing strange things...
I'm currently using fetchmail to download mail from a POP server. However, I notice that it's been acting up once in a while... sometimes there will be a message addressed to myself with a malformed From: field which is a mix of my local login name (which is different from my username on the POP server) with the POP server's domain, with garbage in the message body. Sometimes there will be a totally garbled message with no legible content. Worse yet, (and it happened today with an important message) some messages would get truncated halfway through and get padded with nulls (shows up as reams of [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]). Is this a configuration problem? I was explicitly using POP3 as the protocol in my fetchmailrc (since that's the protocol POP server claims to be using), and I've just switched to AUTO but I'm not sure if this is the problem. Or could it be the POP server that is acting up? Or is this a bug in fetchmail??? (though I don't think this is the case as the problem shows up noticeably often and somebody else would have reported the bug before, assuming that fetchmail with POP3 is a pretty common configuration).

Kernel upgrade -- lost scanner
I recently tried to upgrade to kernel 2.2.1 from 2.0.34 . The scanner had been working great. After upgrade (kernel only), find-scanner found the scanner, attempting to scan caused some action in the scanner, then I lost keyboard and mouse control. While rebooting (with reset button) the scanner sounded like it was completing the scan. Reinstalling 2.0.34 kernel brought everything back as it was. It'll stay that way for a while:-) A search on dejanews showed me that others have had similar problems, but I found no solution. Kernels were compiled by make-kpkg kernel_image.

suggestions for inter-OS file sharing?
I've just bought a new hard disk and I'm unsure how to partition it. I need to share quite a bit of data between NT, 95, and Linux. The only file system these three have in common is FAT, and 2Gb partitions don't excite me much on a 17Gb disk! There are tools to let NT read and write FAT32, but they cost money. That's one possible solution. There are tools to let Windows read ext2fs, but they're read-only it seems. There are tools to let 95 read/write NTFS, but they cost more money than the other way around, and Linux doesn't have (non-experimental) write support yet. Any other suggestions? My current feeling is to ditch NT, something I wanted to do within a few months anyway. Linux and Win95 can share FAT32 just fine. thanks Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB.

Re: Why did 'man dpkg' quit working on me?
On Fri, Nov 26, 1999 at 07:58:35AM -0600, Jor-el wrote Hi, I am working on a box which has a standard Slink install. I used to be able to pull up the man page of dpkg by doing 'man dpkg'. Yesterday, all of a sudden, this command quit working on me, and I cant figure out why. The man page was still around - located in /usr/share/man/man8, but man wasnt picking it up unless I used the '-M' flag to tell it where it was. I tried rebuilding the man database by doing a 'mandb -c', but this didnt solve it either. In the end, I had to end up editing /etc/manpath.config and added /usr/share/man to the MANDATORY_MANPATH and then rebuilding mandb, before my problem could get solved. I have two questions : (1) did I solve this the right way? and (2) Why did this fail in the first place? Any ideas? Let me answer your questions in reverse: You don't *really* have a standard Slink install. My guess is that somewhere along the line, you must have installed a new dpkg. The slink dpkg has its man pages under /usr/man, which is the convention adopted for slink; this has chaged for Potato to /usr/share/main, and I'm guessing that you either installed a 'potato' version of dpkg, or rebuilt a potato release from source. I could be wrong, it may also be that upgrading to the potato version of man-db moves your man pages (but then, they all would have moved). The way you fixed it is fine if you anticipate running a 'mixed' installation (some slink, some potato) and won't hurt in any event. Alternatives would be to downgrade to the Slink version of dpkg (but some potato packages, e.g. enlightenment, may require a later version), or to build a 'slinkified' version of the dpkg package, modified to reflect slink conventions: i.e., use /usr/info, /usr/doc and /usr/man in place of /usr/share/info, /usr/share/doc and /usr/share/man (not necessarily a complete list, but they are the changes that spring to mind).

Re: Upgrade to Perl 5.005 for slink. HOWTO ???
On Fri, Nov 26, 1999 at 04:06:04PM +0100, Robert J. Alexander wrote Is there a place with hints on the right packages to upgrade to install perl 5.005 on a slink platform ?? It isn't clear whether you intend to *replace* the perl packages with perl-5.005, or install the new version alongside of the old. Many packages add files to /usr/lib/perl5 and its subdirectories, and in general these packages install files in directories that are specific to the perl minor version (e.g., 5.004/ or 5.005/); this means that they will not be available under perl 5.005 unless you muck about with @INC (not guaranteed to work) or rebuild the packages from source (not difficult for most, but some involve rebuilding large packages (e.g., libpgperl)). If you rebuild them for perl-5.005, you have to also allow for the fact that the directories under /usr/lib/perl5 have been reorganised between slink and potato (what is /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.004/ in slink has become /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/ on potato). Because perl is such an important package and many things rely on it working as expected, you should proceed with caution in any event. Make sure you have local copies of the regular slink perl packages (at least perl-base and perl) so you have some chance of sorting things out if things go pear-shaped, and when you do install perl-5.005 make sure you examine and understand what perl binaries are installed, and what version is being invoked as /usr/bin/perl.

Problems with Pioneer cd-rom
I am looking for a distribution (Linux or BSD) that will install on a Pioneer CD-ROM ATAPI Model DR-A24X 0104 without hanging (or a suggestion how to get the cd-rom to work; yes, I have tried autoboot). RedHat 5.1 and 5.2 both hang. The system is an old Cyrix 486-DX with a 1 Gb drive. It is currently running RedHat 5.1, but the installation was from the hard disk and there was plenty I did not include. The CD-ROM is recognized during boot and I insmod isofs, but all I get are timeouts when I try to mount the drive. It would be great to start over with a clean system and I would prefer not to use a gazillion floppies.

Basically, I like the color in rxvt. strange - xterm offers you *three* degrees of each color, rxvt only two (bold, underline and normal, I think are choosable, in rxvt two are shown the same) You should be able to set this with xterm.color* 4. I like ctrl-up and ctrl-down equals to up and down resp.(VI insert mode) However, I only get it in redhat's xterm. you mean moving the cursor while beeing in input mode ?

Let me answer your questions in reverse:
You don't *really* have a standard Slink install. My guess is that
somewhere along the line, you must have installed a new dpkg. The slink
dpkg has its man pages under /usr/man, which is the convention adopted for
slink; this has chaged for Potato to /usr/share/main, and I'm guessing that
you either installed a 'potato' version of dpkg, or rebuilt a potato release
from source. I could be wrong, it may also be that upgrading to the potato
version of man-db moves your man pages (but then, they all would have
moved).
The way you fixed it is fine if you anticipate running a 'mixed'
installation (some slink, some potato) and won't hurt in any event.
Alternatives would be to downgrade to the Slink version of dpkg (but
some potato packages, e.g. enlightenment, may require a later version),
or to build a 'slinkified' version of the dpkg package, modified to
reflect slink conventions: i.e., use /usr/info, /usr/doc and /usr/man
in place of /usr/share/info, /usr/share/doc and /usr/share/man (not
necessarily a complete list, but they are the changes that spring to
mind).

Hi,
Thanks for the replies - John and Lindsay.
I think your theories are on target. I recently began exploring
the world of apt-get, and when I did an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' on stable,
I think one of the packages that got upgraded was dpkg. This was probably
a version that has the new changes. I wish though, that there is a way I
could tell what date and time a current package was installed, so that I
could be sure that this is indeed the cause.

Jor-el

Newbie: slink-to-potato upgrade
Hello, I recently installed slink on a new SCSI disk for my dual oc 450 MHz Celeron machine. (suse 6.2 is already on an IDE disk). Since I'm new to .deb-based systems I would like to ask a few questions: (I have been running RedHat since 5.0 up to 6.1 and rawhide, mandrake 6.1 and suse 6.2 on different machines, but all of them are rpm-based) I need to upgrade to a kernel supporting dual CPUs and also to XFree86-3.3.5 to get support for my TNT2-based graphics card. 1. What is the name of the kernel package: dpkg --list only gives kernel-headers and kernel-source. 2. Which command to use for kernel upgrade? 3. Which tools to use, apt, dselect and/or dpkg? 4. Which tool correspond to rpm and yast? 5. I installed the scientific workstation, thereby missing the install of eg. gnome. I want to run Windowmaker/Enlightenment and gnome. What to do? 6. How can I get a comprehensive listing of the packages installed on my computer? 7. How can I easily get rid of the unwanted ones? 8. apt-get upgrade + apt-get dist-upgrade ends with some files not found. The suggested fix was to add --fix-missing. How can I update the missing parts or remove the no longer supported packages. 9. dselect interface and beginners guide are not informative enough to guide you to an upgrade easily. 10. dselect is confusing with its immediate help screen if something is not OK. (The reason for all this effort is the delay of the 2.2 release. I will gladly purchase potato when it arrives, but I feel a need to start learning debian-based distributions as well.

Re: eth0+ppp0 ?
aphro writes: did you configure your PPP connection with the a new default route and give it the defaultroute flag (run pppconfig) it should add the new defeault route once the ppp link is up. pppd won't replace an existing defaultroute. The solution is a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d to delete the eth0 route and add one to ppp0, and a script in /etc/ppp/ip-down.d to reverse the process. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, Wisconsin
LPD Problem _SOLVED_
Hi! I made a bad mistake... ;-) There was an error in the bind configuration. The reverse-entry for the name server was wrong, forget the address type IN. The entry to allow only local users printing from remote computers was correct. :rs#1:\ Bye, Sven
Re: Aztech 3D sound card ??????

Except for beeps. What kind of Aztech 3D have you got? If it is the WaveRider 3D PnP, then it is the card I'm uisng for at least two years. It works for me in slink with 2.0.36 karnel (however there are some problems - the mixer devices mapping is not correct). I had to make some chnges in the kernel, and use an additional utility written by Artur Skawina. There was a message about setting up the WaveRider in linux, posted by me one, or ona and half year ago to the debian-users. Please check the mailing list archive. If you can't find it, however, I can find this posting in my archive, and send it to you. -- Greetings.
