RE: apt-get en potato
He actualizado uno de mis ordenadores a potato. En el otro ordenador es donde almaceno los paquetes. El caso es que ahora, cuando hago un apt-get update, me tarda un mazo en conectarse por ftp al ordenador que tiene los paquetes, mientras que si hago un ftp normal y corriente, lo hace al instante. ¿Posibles causas? Ni idea, pero sinceramente, haz un apt-get al ftp de debian ;) sale mejor y tienes los ultimos paquetes, yo lo hago y la verdad es que va la mar de bien y estoy muy contento

Re: Monochrome XFIG
Pedro Sanchez [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Unfortunately this didn't solve my problem. I have all the files as you describe but still xfig shows up in monochrome. By the way, this is happenning in a fresh Potato install done about a month ago which I'm upgrading to the latest every weekend. Xfig has never shown its colors. Any other suggestions? Hmm... Does the xlogo program show the X Window System logo in color or monochrome? (The colors in the logo should be white and red.) It uses the application default files XLogo and XLogo-color in the same way as XFig. You could try running XFig with xfig -xrm '*customization: -color', just in case that helps. If it does, there is some sort of problem in your X startup scripts - either /etc/X11/Xresources/xfree86-common is not loaded, the X server does not define COLOR for some reason, or there is another *customization resource set somewhere. As a somewhat more brute force approach, you could also try creating a file /tmp/Fig containing everything in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Fig _and_ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Fig-color, except for the #include Fig line. Then try running XFig with the environment variable XAPPLRESDIR set to /tmp/, that is, XAPPLRESDIR=/tmp/ xfig if you use bash. Which version of the Athena widget set (Xaw) do you use? (To find this out, see which Xaw-related directory is listed first in /etc/ld.so.conf. For me, it's /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d, since I use xaw3d.) I think they all support color settings, but I'm not sure. That's all I can think of for now. For what it's worth, XFig has always worked in color for me, with most buttons being yellow, and so on, without doing anything special... -- -=- Rjs -=- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

can't tell you who makes it.
If you set http_proxy to http://cache01.tor.pathcom.com:80/ then APT might
have better luck dealing with it.
How it works is they have a router that intercepts all traffic on port 80
and directs it to that machine, you can't advoid it. Typically this is
used to reduce bandwidth through forced caching, but it is starting to
become a means of content control too I've heard..

depmod outputs unresolved symbols ... after recomiling kernel with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=Y
I use debian (kernel 2.2.13, libc6 2.1.2) with module support enabled. When building custom kernels (with kernel-package) I set CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=N. Everyting went good until I've decided to try 3com driver 3c90x from http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/linuxdownload.htm. As driver's documentation reads its version is lower than 2.2.13 and so I have to recompile the kernel with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=Y (Am I right?). After doing so and running depmod -a (never mind at boot time or from comand line) I get a lot of messages: ... Unresolved symbols ... No modules is loading, of course. (After recompiling the kernel with the only changing CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=N everything works fine again) I looked through all the FAQs, HOWTOs having to do with the question, debian-user mailing list archive, but found nothing to explain what I'm doing wrong Can anybody help me, please. Thank you, Mikhail.
Potato from scratch. Thanks.
I want to thank the person who made the suggestion last week to download the Potato installation disks and installing a Potato system from scratch. I downloaded resc1440.bin, root1440.bin and base2_2.tgz (16MB, so that took a while), but after that I had a new system in a matter of minutes. During the installation I checked the modules and to my surprise the ESS Solo 1 sound chip was also listed. Alas, the module couldn't be found, but that it not of such importance right now. I got the ppp connections to my ISP working, but in the base system there is (again) no possibility to read man pages. I couldn't find the apt-get man page on the Debian homepage, so I'll fiddle a little myself later today. But I've always wondered about one thing: how do you know the name of the package you want to install. At least with dselect you have a menu to search. Now I want to install Midnight Commander, so I guess that is apt-get -d install mc (I'd like to download the package as well for use on another machine and I've read the -d flag will do that). But now I want to install X, so is apt-get -d install X right? Then how do I choose that the right server is being downloaded? This always puzzled me a bit, but I guess the answer will come in time :-) Anyways, I'm happy to have a Potato system too now. -- Hans
Problems with building of Gnupg 1.0.1 package in slink - with (dirty) solution
Hi All, I've downloaded the new GnuPG source from http://www.gnupg.org (gnupg-1.0.1.tar.gz), unpacked it, and tried to build on my slink system. After the first try to run 'su -c dpkg-buildpackage', I received the message: usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage: debian/rules: permission denied I've stated, that the debian/rules file has no execute permission, so I've done: wzab:~/gnupg/tmp/gnupg-1.0.1$ chmod o+x debian/rules and ran the 'su -c dpkg-buildpackage' once again. Now I first received the warning: dpkg-source: warning: source directory ./gnupg-1.0.1' is not sourcepackage-upstreamversion Gnupg-0.9.10' And finally the build failed with the error: install -m 755 debian/preinst debian/postinst debian/postrm debian/tmp/DEBIAN/ install: debian/postinst: No such file or directory install: debian/postrm: No such file or directory make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1 I've stated that the debian/rules contains the section: binary-arch:checkroot build # test $(checkdir) -rm -rf debian/tmp install -d debian/tmp/DEBIAN/ install -m 755 debian/preinst debian/postinst debian/postrm debian/tmp/DEBIAN/ but the files debian/postinst and debian/postrm do not exist.

In search of the perfect font
Hi folks, Although I love by debian system, I must face the reality that X is designed for and by people with big, expensive, ultra-high resolution monitors. While environments like GNOME and WindowMaker leave MS Windoze for dead, functionality and looks wise, if you run them at anything less than 1024x768 you loose most of your screen real estate to wharfs and docs and panels and such-like. Unfortunately, when you are a poor student, such as myself (and presumably many of us here), with a crappy little 15 monitor, some of the fonts can end up being just a bit too small. What I am seeking is a fixed-width font that is nice and viewable (without having to bold) on a 15 monitor at 1024x768. Part of the problem is that, because style should win over substance every time, many of the fonts (such as misc/fixed) get lost when viewed in a transparent term over a background picture. This is mainly for use reading mail in mutt in a transparent (tinted) Eterm (I'm sure I'm not the only one on the list who spends a large percentage of their time in front of a computer merely reading and writing email). I have found one font that I like which works quite well for my needs, except that it is in the VGA (what I would have called ANSI back in my BBSing days) character set. While this is fine for most purposes, it mangles quite a few different foreign characters, and leaves me not able to use the graphical thread characters in mutt. I realise it's my own stupid fault for trying to have a cool looking desktop without a 21 monitor (I have 17 at work and have no such font problems there), but I was hoping someone out there in debian land might have encountered a similar problem and found a solutions.

Re: Citrix ICA client on potato anybody?
Hi Nico, On Fri, Dec 17, 1999 at 03:23:41PM +0100, Nico De Ranter was heard to state: I just downloaded the Windows Terminal Server client for Linux (actualy Citrix' ICA Client for the Metaframe version of Windows Terminal Server), but it appears to use libc5 in stead of 6. Is there anyway I can get this working? tmp/./linux/echo_cmd: can't load library 'libc.so.5' You may just need to get libc5 from oldlibs (I think). I'm running the ICA client on a bleading-edge potato box at work, and I haven't had any problems with it. One thing you might like to look into though. I believe Citrix has something that makes Terminal Server X compatible. We actually use NCD X-Terms at work to connect to the NT Terminal Server. I have personally found that connecting to Terminal Server using Xnest is actually a little smoother and faster than using the ICA client. It doesn't seem to do cut paste b/w the Terminal Server session and X like ICA does, but it feels a little faster to me (and I can use the same program to connect to out Sun boxen). In a world where it can be hard to escape MicroSoft, being able to use my linux box and only connect to an NT Terminal server, from linux, when absolutely necessary, is an æcceptable existance. :) HTH, damon -- Damon Muller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) / It's not a sense of humor. * Criminologist / It's a sense of irony * Webmeister / disguised as one. * Linux Geek / - Bruce Sterling

When I run startx I get this: /usr/X11R6/bin/X: error in loading shared libraries : undefined symbol: __register_frame_info X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 giving up. xinit: no such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: no such process (errno 3): Server error. Any suggestions?
Can one keep networks apart on a machine?
I have a dilemma at work. They use Windoze (NT at the moment) and will not allow me to use Linux instead. Yet Linux is my choice both personally and professionally (given the tools my discipline has which run under the two environments, Linux is a born winner). I Am allowed to use it as long as it _cannot_access_ the LAN. So I wondered... Is it possible to network it to my office NT box without there being any crossover to the outside LAN? Perhaps this sounds silly, but rebooting is a Bear between systems (I have both on the one machine at this time). (Linux is considered a Maverick system by our newly hired administrator.)

I understand that you have Windows box and Linux box, you could install wingate on Windows box and put another network card in it. This way you could have local ip on your linux box (192.168.1.2) and being routed through windows box (192.168.1.1) to the real IP. OK, but I need to remain OFF of the outside network. (The reason for the issue stems from my upgrading to 2.2.12 once, and not seeing the IP bug that nearly blew away the rest of the system (broadcast packets... I'm on a token-ring system, but other parts are ethernet. I know understand the difference between the two. :). That debacle has cost me Linux access and a rancid note in my personnel file. Don't ask why it took nearly 2 weeks to realize the source of the problem.) Would what you are suggesting allow me to keep the two Apart--meaning no way for Linux to see the outsdie world? I am looking for a way to get the Win machine to act as a kind of junction between the two worlds, with the potential of using the Win box as my local source for Internet material (including .deb updates...).

Re: connecting to internet

My ppp connection to my isp is working ok. but I can't get to the website. Lynx doesn't connect to anything although I have put a url in lynx.cfg. I have tried ncftp, but no hosts are recognized although I use them in with other distributions. Any recommendations? I am using Debian Gnu/linux that is publish by Oreilly. System is asus p5a mo-board, amd k6-2 400 cpu, 128 mb ram. debian shares a drive with win98. You say that your connection is okay, that it's up? That's the first thing to rule out. I haven't set up a PPP connection in ages, so I really don't remember what needs to be running for PPP. You might want to try: ps aux | grep pppd to see if the daemon is running when you start your session. Can you ping other sites? Try ping the Debian home page like so: ping www.debian.org you should get some output that looks like this: PING www.debian.org (209.81.8.242): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 209.81.8.242: icmp_seq=0 ttl=55 time=51.5 ms 64 bytes from 209.81.8.242: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=171.9 ms and on and on. Hit ctrl-c to stop it. If you don't and you do have your connection up, try pinging the IP address like so: ping 209.81.8.242 Again, you should see similar output. If this works then you probably need to add the IP addresses of you DNSs to your /etc/resolv.conf file. If it turns out you haven't configured ppp correctly, I'd search through the archives on ppp for a quicker start. Just a couple of pointers. You might want to set your mail client to wrap outgoing messages to a line length around 70 characters. It makes it easier to read. Also, try to post portions of relevant config files to help others help you better. Doing so lets us see what you've done to figure it out, and to see if you made a typo or something.

There is really nothing that says that something is correct and something else is not; as long as the keys agree with what your terminal type specifies, everything should work. Different terminals are just, well, different. The differences seem quite arbitrary, but they probably have historical reasons behind them... All of the xterm, xterm-debian and xterm-xfree86 terminal types are specified so that F1=^[OP. (You can see this by executing infocmp xterm-debian and looking for kf1=\EOP in the output (^[ = \E = the ESC character). The terminal type is selected with the TERM environment variable, which xterm and the other programs should automatically set to a correct value.) So, basically, please don't care about it. :) If some keys don't work somewhere, check your TERM environment variable and/or complain (but please look at /usr/doc/xterm/README.Debian first, though the problems it talks about concern mostly the Backspace and Delete keys). If you write your own programs, don't depend on particular key bindings; get them from terminfo instead. Otherwise, don't worry about it... -- -=- Rjs -=- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
