Re: Dudas sobre version Kernel
Humberto, Yo uso Red Hat en vez de Debian (al menos de momento), pero esto del kernel afecta a todas las distribuciones por igual. La linea 2.2.x _es_ estable. En el caso del kernel de Linux, los numeros impares en la segunda porcion del nombre significan en desarrollo mientras que los numeros pares significan estable. Por poner un ejemplo: 2.0.36 es estable debido al 0, y tambien los es 2.2.13 debido al 2, pero 2.3.11 esta en desarrollo debido al 3. Ya se que los manuales son un poco complicados de entender en este sentido, y a mi tambien me llevo un tiempo acostumbrarme a la idea. En cualquier caso, me parece que tu debes estar usando Debian 2.0. Creo recordar que esa version venia con el kernel 2.0.36, al igual que Red Hat 5.2.

Manuel y Felipe, Me podriais dar una idea de que comando ping se trata? No, no es que quiera dedicarme a joder la vida a otros internautas, sino que no me puedo imaginar como es posible enviar una cadena mediante un ping. Al fin y al cabo, el ping solo toma o una direccion de IP o un nombre de host+dominio como argumentos, y si es posile enviar cadenas mediante el susodicho comando a mi me interesaria saberlo.

Re: Projeto de Lei
Me desculpem, Não sabia que vocês eram tão pessimistas. Sei que o projeto é imperfeito e muito provavelmente não seria aprovado da forma como está. A Lei de Pirataria de Software está aí, e aos poucos está começando a preocupar as empresas. Nada muda de repente, mas se todos nós pudermos fazer alguma coisa, ajudar, em vez de simplesmente sentar e meter o pau no que está aí, nós vamos continuar na mesma m. de sempre. Richard Stallman começou o GNU por causa de um driver de impressora. Se ele tivesse simplesmente xingado a XEROX porque o driver não funcionava ninguém estaria nessa lista, utilizando o Debian GNU/Linux. Nem todos tem o talento de programador de Richard Stallman, ou a capacidade de motivar as pessoas como Linux Torvards, ou a capacidade de gerenciar um projeto grande e disperso como faz Wichert Wakerman com o Debian, mas não são só eles que fizeram esses projetos importantes como são. Foram milhares de pessoas que os apoiaram anonimamente, que passaram noites hackeando e trabalhando e não simplesmente criticando o esforço daqueles que tomaram alguma iniciativa. Todo mundo acha um absurdo uma empresa pública ter 95% de seu software pirateado. Absurdo é o preço de uma licença do MS-Windows, um software cheio de bugs, que você não tem a mínima idéia de como funciona e que ainda suspeita-se que envie informações privadas para departamentos de segurança americanos. Fala-se muito também na falta de fiscalização de software pirata por aí. Vocês já imaginaram verificar a licença de cada programa em cada estação de uma única empresa de médio porte? Só para ter uma idéia, tirem o dpkg e apaguem o diretório /usr/doc e tentem adivinhar quais programas estão instalados. Todos eles são estritamente legais? Todos eles estão sob a GPL? O Windows é café pequeno nas fiscalizações. O foco pricipal está em softwares de grande custo como sistemas CAD/CAM, ou sistemas de controle financeiro. As empresas estão começando a se regularizar, mas isso leva tempo. Ainda assim existirão muitas cópias piratas, mas aí a questão passará a ser outra. Por mais eficiente que seja a fiscalização, não adianta combater a corrupção da própria sociedade.

potato upgrade, probs with perl-base

Is suck comparable to the other 2 - its description does mention INN/CNEWS as desirable package ? Suck just deals with downloading news - it also requires a news server like CNEWS or INN to allow you to read the news. It basically provides a pull feed for a full news server which doesn't know how to do one for itself. Leafnode does everything needed to download and allow you to read news. The downside is that current versions don't download news particularly fast and you can't create any local groups of your own. OTOH, it's extremely easy to configure and maintain. I don't know newscache at all, but from the package description it appears to do the same job that Leafnode does - it's probably a case of parallel evolution. Probably pretty much everything I've said about Leafnode goes for it too. I should probably point out that the above might be a bit biased since I am the Leafnode maintainer, although I do also run an INN system. While INN is quite a nice system it is complete overkill unless you're taking a real news feed or need to set up local groups. The daemon is fairly big and needs to be run all the time, and the maintinance for a pulling feed is a bit more work than with Leafnode. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFShttp://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/ pgpHngVuOBdSA.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Announcing FAI 1.0 (Fully automatic Installation)
Why cfengine and not debconf? It seems to me that debconf is a
natural for solving these problems. In fact, there's no reason why
dbootstrap couldn't ultimately be replaced by a debconf script,
leading to a single system for automated (with conf file, network db,
whatever) or manual installation.
cfengine will change the actual /etc/foo file at some later date. The debconf
based app likely won't. Plus there is no implied syncing between debconf db
and actual files on the system.
For instance, where will /etc/init.d/network{ing} come from?

Package Phase of Install Fails
I apparently have succeeded in installing the stable base for Debian using the Base1-4.bin disks (were those the most recent disks?). However, following the reboot, the package installation phase appears to have failed. I selected the apt option and configured apt to use ftp://dtp.debian.org/debian but nothing was downloaded. Following that disappointing moment, I quit the package phase and logged in as root. I then attempted to ftp to the ftp.debian.org site and successfully logged on to the site. That would seem to imply that I have the required internet connectivity. I am concerned however, given I am attempting this feat at the office and I access the internet via a proxy, and since I am not given the option of configuring the http:// or ftp:// apt options for a proxy, that the download is failing for because the proxy option is not configured. Any suggestions as to how I might surmount this obstacle? Does it make any sense to download the packages manually (a dull but achievable task)? A prompt suggestion would be especially helpful since I am trying to wrap this installation process up this evening. Thanks for the assistance. Hagen Finley Longs Drugs Walnut Creek, CA

RE: Package Phase of Install Fails
Downloading the lists of packages and the packages themselves are separate steps in the installation - you need to select the update and install options to do these things. Having set the http_proxy variable I was able to perform a successful Update within dselect. I saw a login take place etc. However, I remain unclear about what exactly is taking place within dselect. Is dselect installing packages from the base install or does everything dselect wants live on the ftp site? Also my update apparently overwrote my dial-in package option - is there a simple way to tell dselect I want those packages again? - that does not appear to be an option within dselect. Finally, I don't appear to have X or at the very minimum it doesn't appear to be configured. Is there a config script for X too? There is an option in /etc/apt/apt.conf or you can say export http_proxy=http://proxy.host:port/; before running dselect to configure it at runtime.

Re: /etc/profile should include sbin in PATH
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Greg Stark) wrote: ... there are many programs in sbin that are useful for ordinary users including the two explicitly listed in the FSSTND, traceroute and ifconfig. Hmmm... Let's see. From the ifconfig(8) man page: NAME ifconfig - configure a network interface DESCRIPTION Ifconfig is used to configure the kernel-resident network interfaces. It is used at boot time to set up interfaces as necessary. After that, it is usually only needed when debugging or when system tuning is needed. Thus, ifconfig's own documentation appears to state that ifconfig is an administrator's tool. Indeed, I think that you are too focused on classifying a tool as useful for ordinary users if there is even a remote possibility that it might be run by an ordinary user. Instead of focusing of what a user *might* run, I prefer to focus on the purpose of each utility. There are many programs that are primarily intended to be used for administrative purposes. While we can debate what tasks can be classified as administrative, personally, I feel that anything that sets up, configures or analyzes devices, network interfaces, etc. *should* be classified as an administrative tool. I also feel that this should include such tasks as analyzing the network. If a user periodically needs to perform such administrative tasks under his user account, he can modify the path on that account. That's pretty easy to do. There are many users, however, who will never need to run any of these administrative commands (even you must admit that), and therefore, do not need them in their path. I personally don't buy this logic at all for two reasons: 1) Nobody has been able to explain why these programs are a burden We should not need to explain why these programs are a burden. You are the one who wants to change things. If you want to play these games, then you should explain why it is such a burden for you to add /sbin and /usr/sbin to the path of your account. 2) What can be usefully run as an ordinary user can vary based on the local administrator policy. lsof may be a setuid on one system whereas ping is made unsetuid on another system. /dev/loop[0-9] may be writable by group disk on one system whereas group disk may be empty on another. And such cases should be handled by the local administrator, not us, the distribution builders. They can easily be handled by an energetic administrator by adding a symlink to /usr/local/bin. 3) There is no precedent in Unix for separating binaries based on their intended users. The only example is one that mostly just causes headaches and problems, /usr/X11R6. What about /usr/bin/mh -- used by MH, the most Unix-like of all MUAs? All MH commands are placed in their own directory, and rightly so. Not only is it unnecessary for these commands to be in the an ordinary user's path, it is dangerous, since a user who is not familiar with MH can, by misspelling a similar command, mistakenly run one of the MH commands and mess up his mailbox and his account. There is no reason to run one of MH's commands (even by mistake) if the user's account is not set up to use MH, and there is no reason for these commands to appear in the path. As another example, consider the Unix practice of listing its administrative commands (system management commands) in a separate section of its documentation (section 8 of the man pages). This was done so that ordinary users of a Unix system can focus on section 1, the user's commands, and not worry about system administration. If these administrative commands are not documented in the same section as ordinary commands, I think that it is sensible to place them in their own directory. Please don't tell me that there is no precedent in Unix for separating binaries based on their intended users. That is simply not true. I guess I propose that either of two things happen: 1) /sbin and /usr/sbin are put into everyone's path. That is not necessary. It eliminates the whole point of separating the binaries in the first place. If you want to place /sbin and /usr/sbin in your path on your system, or place them in the everybody's path on the systems that you administrate, then fine; that's your own business, and it's not very difficult to do. Please however, do not stick these two directories in MY path just because you fail to understand the difference between administrative work and ordinary work. 2) Debian Policy explicitly include language listing the types of programs that we consider only generally useful to system administrators. Either that or an unambiguous set of objective criteria to test. Personally I suggest only system daemons that cannot be run without root privileges and configure scripts that cannot save their configuration changes without root privileges Note that this would mean some daemons would be in /usr/bin and some in /usr/sbin.

IBM Thinkpads, from the ancient 486 to present, run Debian GNU/Linux quite qell with one exception in two parts: the mwavesoundcard/modem device doesn't work in linux.

Re: Missing MSIE's Search Bar under Linux
Bart, I haven't seen anything similar in Linux yet... with the exception of the new Mozilla build (M12). Granted it is not even beta yet, but rather in alpha, but it does have the feature you mention. If you are willing to run some buggy software, go ahead and point your browser to http://www.mozilla.org, and download the M12 build of Mozilla. I read somewhere in slashdot today that they just released a special build for Debian today. Of course, keep in mind it is quite unstable and buggy.

In case you don't know what it is, it's basically a search pane on the left side of the browser window where when you type in your keywords, it'll display the results in that bar and when you click a link to follow them, it opens it on the right while the pane stays open. That way you can easily go through searches without needing to deal with opening new windows or using the back button to go back to the search page. And in the Search Bar you can click the 'Next' button to have it cycle through all the search engines. Has anyone been able to find something similar that they use under Debian Linux w/ Netscape?

System hangs on boot
For Christmas I got my hands on a Yamaha CRW6416S (SCSI-2 CD-RW) and Toshiba XM-6401TA (SCSI-2 CD-ROM) drives. They're running off an Advansys UltraWide SCSI controller (940UW). When I boot Linux, my machine hangs after detecting the CD-RW drive. As far as I can tell, termination is ok... The SCSI chain is ID 0 - CD-ROM (terminated, end of cable) ID 3 - CD-RW (not teminated) ID 4 - SCSI controller (set to active termination) ID 5 - HP ScanJet (terminated) Am I missing something here? The kernel is 2.2.14pre16 compiled with support for the Advansys controller plus SCSI disk and CD support and the option to support proprietary extensions for Toshiba drives. The rest of the system is Debian 2.2. I've had no previous 2.2.14pre problems.

Not yet. At some point debconf will provide that information.
I don't see, how debconf can remember what servers are running in the
_actual_ runlevel (which may differ from the default run level and may
change from time to time).
A more generic way is the start-rc.d script written by Ingo Saitz
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and adapted to file-rc by me. This script
should be packaged near update-rc.d in dpkg (diverted by file-rc).
You run this script with the daemon from /etc/init.d/daemon as a
parameter and it starts this daemon with only if it should be active
in the actual run level.
I'll attach the two scripts to this message.
But I fear, that we have to change the policy before we can use these
scripts...

Linux NAT and stuff.
Hi all, I am starting to use Debian (potato) as a firewall with NAT functions. I have fast NAT compiled into the kernel, installed iproute2, read through the documentation ip-cref and did what was suggested in Appendix C. Everything looks fine. Except ... I cannot connect to the NATed machine from the internal network. My (approx) network topology: INTERNET --- FW1 [172.16.29.254] ---+--- [172.16.28.2] NT Lotus Notes | | [172.16.29.1] FW2 [172.16.28.1] | | [172.16.28.x] desktop PCs (don't ask me why 2 firewalls are needed, I don't know :( ) I have IP Masquerading and the NAT running in FW1 (172.16.28.x uses MASQ, 172.16.29.2 uses NAT and ipchains is set to just forward packets) I can connect to the Notes server from the Internet. desktop PCs can connect to the Internet and the 2 FWs. The 2 FWs, of course, can go anywhere. I can connect from FW1/2 to the Notes server through 172,16.29.2. However (here's the problem), I cannot connect from desktop PCs to the Notes server. Also, if I try to connect to the Notes server from FW1 using the NATed address I get an invalid argument error. What was the cause of these 2 error? The ip commands are something like this: /sbin/ip route add nat $EXTIP via 172.16.29.2 /sbin/ip rule add prio 1000 from 172.16.29.2 to 172.16.0.0/16 table main /sbin/ip rule add prio 1001 from 172.16.29.2 nat $EXTIP The documentation mentioned a table called inr.ruhep. Was the name arbitrary? Appendix C mentioned this table should contain route to the destination, but I don't know what that is supposed to be.. Shall I use FW2 to do masquerading, and FW1 to provide NAT for FW2 and Notes? Will it help the situation? I just noticed that it should be easier to manage this way. (I really think I should have posted it somewhere else. should I? And if yes, where should I post?) Hope it doesn't look too difficult to understand. My english isn't that good. :(

Spontaneous reboot with 3c59x kernel module
I have had this problem on two different computers, at least 3 different 3com 59x network cards, and both the slink default kernel-image and my own compiled 2.2.12 (using kernel-package). In one case I was unable to install debian (slink) at all until I changed network cards to an ne2k compatible because the reboot happened before the installation finished. In the second case I am on cutting-edge potato. The symptom is that between 1 and 15 minutes after loading the 3c59x module (either by modprobe, ifconfig, or modconf), the machine reboots with no warning whatsoever. I have not timed this problem (in all cases the priority was getting the machine working so I didn't do any real debugging) so it may be the exact same time delay in each case or it may vary - but it always happens within a few minutes. In the time between loading the module and the reboot, the card seems to work - one time I successfully copied several megabytes of data across the link. None of the explanations for this problem make sense. It can't be bad hardware - in all cases win9x or NT were able to use the cards with no problems. Nobody else in my company uses Debian, but many use Red Hat on similar cards with no problems. The number of different computers and situations involved seems to preclude it being some other piece of hardware or software in my system. But I can't believe that the kernel developers have missed a spontaneous reboot bug for 2 whole stable versions of the kernel! That leaves (1) User error by me... but all I did was select the item from the list in modconf! There are no mandatory options, but the same thing happened if I tried supplying the optional ones. Or (2) a debian-specific bug to do with the way kernel-package compiles things. Could this be a gcc2.7/egcs/gcc2.95 issue? Does kernel-package use gcc2.95 where available? What is the slink default kernel-image compiled by? Does anyone have any similar stories to report, fixes, workarounds, or suggestions as to where to go to get the bug fixed, if it is a bug? (I'd say that even if it's user error it's a bug... no bad input should cause a spontaneous reboot, just an error message). Thanks in advance, Stuart.

I just downloaded and installed the beta version for Linux, and it seems to be pretty fast too... as fast as the version for Windows. However, it is not GPLd, although I have a feeling that releasing it under the GPL license would be a smart move by the Opera guys since there is a chance that many Linux users would switch from buggy Netscape.

Well, it appears the packages were renamed.

fvwm2 = fvwm (version 2.2)
It's compatability depends for old versions of fvwm, so it's
not strictly a bug.
Where is fvwm2 gone to?
kernel-source-* = gas (there is no gas package)
bug in kernel-source-*
Hmm, seems to me it could be a bug in kernel-package. I don't know
since I never use it. Need to look into this.
gstep-{base,base-dbg,xgps} are all not there
Who needs them?
Well, actually: gstep-extensions{,-dbg,-dev} but I have the
feeling these are obsolete packages that just havn't been deleted
yet. (Nothing depends on them)
jdk1.2{,-native} don't exist
lib-rxtx-java does so it might be in anticipation?
Its Depends line looks like:
Depends: jdk1.1 (= 1.1.7v2) | jdk1.2 | jdk1.1-native | jdk1.2-native
A few places reference qt1g (should be libqt1g)
File a bug, recompile should be enough.
Hmm, have done so except for xgmod, which appears to exist in both
contrib and main, with the one in main being correct (and newer).
emacsspeak mentions many tclx packages which do not exist
bad.
Well, the depends looks like:
Depends: tclx80|tclx76|tclx75|tclx74|tclx, emacs19|emacs20
Only tclx76 is present so it will work. However none of the
others are. Seems a misuse of versioning here. Seems unlikely
you could usefully install them all simultaneously.
