Re: BUG REPORT
On Tue, 1 Feb 2000, Javier Fdz-Sanguino Pen~a wrote: [...] Creo que los bugs deben ser reportados en Ingles. Si estoy equivocado que alguien me informe. En caso contrario creo que esto supone un desperdicio de recursos. Ignoro si hay planes para que la comunidad hispana pueda colaborar en su propio idioma en el tratamiento de bugs. No lo creo, el hecho de utilizar el inglés es que todos los desarrolladores se manejan en ese idioma, es el único requisito idiomático para ser desarrollador. Si tuvieramos herramientas de traducción automática quizás se podría trabajar en el tema. Tener una base de datos independiente para los bugs en castellano no lo veo viable porque aún no hay suficientes desarroladores hispano parlantes y si aún no se han traducido documentos importantes de Debian mucho menos nos vamos a meter a traducir los bugs que lleguen. Planteado así sería una locura pero no todos los bugs son igual de importantes ni todos son fáciles de detectar. Se pueden traducir los más importantes, se pueden clasificar sin traducir los medianamente interesantes, y se puede ignorar el resto. Bueno quizas esto no resulte de gran interes porque el volumen de colaboración en Ingles debe de ser muy alto pero los bugs dependientes del idioma no están precisamente favorecidos. Existe alguna forma de saber que bugs podrían ser reportados en otro idioma además del Ingles ? Existe un procedimiento para reportar bugs en otros idiomas ? Creo que algo podría hacerse aunque asumo que el idioma de trabajo del grupo es el Ingles los bugs no son reportados por el grupo de trabajo de Debian sino por los usuarios que constituyen un grupo más amplio no ? Mi solución: 1.- utilizar castellano cuando se sabe que el desarrollador que le va a llegar sabe castellano. La idea es buena pero se podría facilitar esa información a los que intentan reportar un bug. 2.- buscar alguna herramienta libre de traducción en línea y sugerir a debian-www el utilizar en el servidor. Esto de traducción en linea. No lo entiendo. Te refieres a las traducciones automáticas de un idioma a otro ? Lo poco que yo conozco es bastante malo no ? Bueno no quiero descalificar ninguna solución porque podría ocurrir que la solución a un bug importante viniera por un bug descrito en Español y en ese caso el desarrollador que bucee en medio de la basura producida por estos traductores podría en alguna ocasión enconttrar algo util. Se podría dar indicaciones que facilitaran la traducción de estos documentos tales como no usar frases largas, etc. No estoy metido en estos temas pero me gustaría que existiera algo porque dado el primer paso quizas más adelante surja la forma de continuar.

Pregunta sobre compatibilidad Corel Linux y Debian
Se que Corel Linux está basado en Debian. Pero la pregunta es: ¿Es simplemente la nueva versión de Debian (Potato) con un programa de instalación muy simple que no configura casi nada y que pone el logotipo de Corel por todas partes? ¿O por el contrario, es un Debian al que le han realizado un monton de cambios o algún cambio importante? ¿Como cuanto de compatible es Corel Linux con Debian? 100%, 90%, ...

Colour changes in Netscape/Motif
I'm struggling to make Netscape look similar to the rest of my most often used applications. I want the windows to be gray80, with a white 3D highlight and a gray55 3D shadow.

Re: Pink text on white ground?
setterm -foreground [color] setterm -background [color] Hmm, these almost work! They change the colors, but not in the way one would expect. Foreground seems to change the background color and vice versa. Additionally the colors change to something very different from what is chosen (almost the opposite color, but not sufficiently opposite to be certain that is what is indeed happening). AND, the color changes that DO occur, don't last through the execution of the next screen refresh. Everything changes back to what I had before. Oh, and whatever color you have, pastel seems to be the rule. No darker colors, and black is completely out. What am I missing? David Kachel

Re: partition table lost [and found]
Brian, you can do it with any program that can edit a partition table, including Linux fdisk and Norton's Disk Editor. Another possibility is the DOS based partition table editor from PowerQuest called ptedit. That program is freely available from PowerQuest's ftp site. The file you want is petedit.exe, which is the DOS mode version. ftp://ftp.powerquest.com/pub/utilities I agree with the other post about NOT using Win9X fdisk for this job. It wipes out the existing boot sector when it creates a new partition, not to mention that you can specify cylinder numbers with it anyway. Tom Brian Butler wrote: Tom Pfeifer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: There's a DOS based program called findpart that may help.

BTW: This may be obvious, but you have to include stdio.h like this: #include stdio.h NOT like this: #include stdio.h My gut reaction is that your installation is broken (or you don't have libc-dev installed?). You should not need to specify /usr/include or /usr/lib. Also, I don't think it matters if you #include stdio.h or #include stdio.h. The difference, if I understand correctly, is in the first case, the compiler will look for stdio.h in the current directory first. If its not found there, then it will look in the standard places (i.e. /usr/include). In the second case, it just looks in the standard places.

I used Partition Magic to format each partition (root: Linux ex2; usr: Linux ex2; Swap partition: swap) There is a rule that OS's must boot within the first 1024 cylinders of the drive (I guess it's a BIOS limitation for PC style architecture). On older computers like my P90, that mean the first 512mb, on newer ones like your's I guess that is about 8gb. So having the lower 24gb as windows won't work. You need to get that windows partition down to just below 8gb. You may want to put a small /boot partition (like 10mb) next, a few gigs of linux partitions, and then a big honking D: drive for windows. I don't have experience with partition magic. I guess it't pretty neat, but I don't thing it will allow you to break the 1024 rule (I could be wrong, I usually am...) And like someone else said 1gb of swap is an awful lot.

Well, in fact that happens only after the first pon, then goes away.

And I've also got several mouse problems. I've adopted the solution of
running gpm as -R and then selecting the mouse as /dev/gpmdata when
configuring x, because if I haven't done that, I couldn't switch
between x and the console (I could, but then I would come back and x
would freeze. *always*.) But that is really annoying, because the
mouse now bugs x just like it bugs the console (random pasting, and
all that gpm trouble :(), and the following startup errors:

So it quits like if it was killed, when all I've done was select
Exit (so x should quit normally?). I'm also obligated to kill gpm
every time I run another application using the mouse without going
thru gpm, like quake/quakeworld, and then rerun it when I quit the
game. If you are able to give me some help with any of these problems,
reply to my normal mail address (I am not currently subscribed to
debian-user, because of its very high traffic). I'd appreciate any

Are you sure you have the correct mouse device? Most newer PCs use a
PS/2 mouse, so often you want /dev/psaux. You might also consider doing
without gpm.

Re: TV Cards....
Hi Robert, I have a Patrol TVRadio98 and it works great under Debian. However, the brand of the card is not as important as what chip it uses. The bttv drivers support the Bt848 family of video decoder chips. These are the Bt848, Bt848A, Bt849, Bt878 and Bt879 chipsets. I use kwintv to watch television, IMHO the interface is a lot cleaner than xawtv - but they are basically doing the same job. Your system is more than powerful enough to use a tv card - a good thing about the above mentioned chipsets is that they use very little cpu power. The only problems I have had so far is that the radio on the card and the I/R remote are not supported but apart from that it's working great.

RE: VMware
I HAD good experiences with VMware under Debian. It worked fine for me last summer, but somehow somewhere something messed up. At the moment, vmware causes my system to lock up. It brings up the gui and the wizard just fine; however, just before it brings up the guest Bios, my system freezes. I can't kill X, and I can't telnet in, but I can ping the system from another computer. Has anybody seen this before? Does anybody have an ideas as to what is happening here? I would really like to get this issue resolved. When I had it running, Windows 98 w/IE5 ran fine. This was at 1024x768 @ 24bit color. It was quite fast (considering...) on my AMD K6-2 with 128MB SDRAM. I had VNC, ipmasq, samba, etc, set up on my system, so I could play lots of interesting tricks with it. I did find that shutting down extra things on my debian system like apache, postgres, staroffice, etc, really helped performance as well. I've heard scary tales from someone who loaded an existing Windows 98 partition on its own partition... It tooks hours and hours to detect, add, remove all the changed hardware. After that, he couldn't dual boot into Windows 98 natively. Your best off not to take this route... I know someone else who runs Mandrake, Windows 98, and Windows NT as guest OS's on his Debian laptop with little problems.

It wasn't pleasant, i'd recommend against it unless you're the type of person who likes fixing broken systems ;) i ended up creating a second hardware profile for vmware and a dos-ish boot menu for turning off my virus scanner under vmware (because it locks up in the guest) and loading a different cdrom driver. Then i had to fix the other hardware profile because windoze handles it with the typical M$ brain damage. After fixing it the first time around from before i had thought to do that. i also killed everything that had been set to run on startup, because it takes long enough to boot without extras ;) Drifting slightly off topic, i did the backup-and-repartition deal around the same time, to get more space in my fat32 data partition by taking some of the wasted space from windows. When i created the two as hdb1 and hdb2, winDOS insisted on claiming D: was a drive with 0 bytes, and using hdb2 as E:. But when i made hdb1 and hdb5, it worked fine.

Technical problem -- please help.
Hi! I am having a rather technical problem with my GNU/Linux system. I have tried really hard to resolve this on my own, and am out of luck. The sad thing is I'm not running Debian, but RedHat... However, I don't have commercial support, and the people on this list feel like The Most Likely to Actually Be Able to Help Me(TM)... So please help. The RedHat 6.1 installer hiccupped on my mouse, so I had to do the text install. No problem, but the hosts were not configured properly. The /etc/hosts and related files were empty. I filled them as best I could with localhost entries, scrupulously following man pages. But I feel something is still wrong. I almost always use X. Well, eventually, after 5 minutes or one day, I can no longer start new apps. I get an error.

I put ALL in /etc/hosts.allow. I tried erasing the .Xauthority file to see if it wasn't corrupt or anything. Nothing works. I keep having those problems. So here I am, restarting X I don't know how many times a day. And RedHat can't bring itself to at least host a redhat-help mailing list... or if it does, mention it on their page.

Press any key to exit cfdisk On exiting, the following message appeared, cfdisk has failed while trying to repartition your disk. This may mean your disk's partition table is corrupt or your disk is 'factory clean.' I may wipe out your disk's current partition table and run cfdisk again... (A few days ago when I allowed cfdisk to run again, it did indeed wipe out my entire disk--- which quite likely was not properly partitioned, if at all) When I tried to bypass all this and get in with a boot floppy generated several days earlier, with the thought that I could see what Debian thought the partitions looked like, I got, kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel I also tried to install using Red Hat 6.1 to see if the issue was unique to the Debian installer, but Red Hat also did not see any partition Helllppp!

Hi! I'm running Debian Slink with the 2.0.38 kernel on a AMD K6 and I found a weird problem. When executing 'netstat -a', I get (from other usual stuff): tcp0 0 *:smtp *:* CLOSE That should mean that the SMTP server (exim, via xinetd), should accept any connections (weird enough already to be in this situation), but if I 'telnet localhost 25' I get the usual SMTP banner and everything works fine.

Re: Setting up Debian - II
Hello Guys, The Bootdisks vrom Debian 2.2 sucks. I have downloaded the base2_2.tgz and all neccesary files last year and taken an installation from ZIP-Disk... It was working great. Now I have downloaded the last version of it (27.01.2000) and now I can run install from the ZIP-Disk (Booted with a Dos-Boot-Disk) and I am running in truble, because Linux can Boot but do not find the hdc (my ZIP100). I have the same Files on a second ZIP-Disk for Debian 2.1r2 and it works very well. Who is the maintainer of this packages ??? A ZIP-Disk is like a harddisk but it is not there. Why ??? If I run the Debian 2.1 Setup and I like to partition a Harddisk, the hdc (my ZIP100)is there but not in Debian 2.2. Curently I have no running Linux workstation (it is died with my Harddisk) and I do not like to install the OLD Debian 2.1 Michelle

maxima, gcl
Hello, I use Debian Linux (potato) and I want to ask if anybody has tried to compile 'maxima'. This is a package to do symbolic math in can be found on any GNU mirror. The general recipe to go is: get and unpack 'gcl-2.3.tar.gz' configure and compile it get and unpack maxima-5.4.tar.gz tell maxima's configure where to find the 'gcl' stuff from above because it needs these bin, objects and sources configure nad compile Any hint is wellcome.

mounting the floppy
Something's wierd with mounting dos floppies under my current installation of slink debian. It worked before I had a hard drive crash and had to reinstall. I can read vfat hard drive partitions just fine. mtools isn't helping, either -- it cannot open the floppy device. I've tried mounting the floppy both as msdos and vfat filesystems. In both cases df agrees as to the usage of the floppy, but ls returns gibberish. Any ideas?

Lots of errors and page faults
Hi folks, I've got a bit of a problem with one of my servers and I was wondering if anyone could offer a suggestion. I've got a slink system with a 2.2 kernel, and I'm getting lots of page faults, and kernel errors, and so on. My kern.log file is full of errors, sometimes happening every couple of minutes. Very rarely does it actually bring down the server, but I'm sort of worried about random things dieing all of the time! I also can't compile anything - most of the time I get (seeminly random, different each time) errors in ./configure scripts. My first though was that it was the RAM. I loaded up the memtest86 through lilo, left it running for quite some time, and didn't get even the hint of an error. My suspicion now is that maybe it is the swap partition. We had a bit of a crash on this drive a while ago (turned out to be a dodgy motherboard) which did some nasty things to the file system (which I recovered). I'm thinking that maybe some bad blocks have appeared in the swap space, and when the kernel tries to access them, it has an anurism (sp?). Does that sound like a plausible theory? Acting on that hunch, I tried disabling the swap, booting to single user mode, and deleting, then re-creating, the swap (using fdisk, then mkswap). This doesn't seem to have changed anything dramatically. Should I try running badblocks over the swap (can you even do that?)? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. cheers, 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 pgpSA1RXTFR6f.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Which packages are new in potato
On Sun, 30 Jan 2000, Adrian Bunk wrote:
I'm looking for a list of all packages that are new (not only a newer

somewhere?
Just take the Packages.gz file from slink and potato, make a list of the
package names by doing something like:
zgrep ^Package: Packages.gz | awk '{ print $2 }'
Once you have files containing the package names for slink and potato, you
can see the lines in the second file which are not in the first one by
using this little gawk-script (call it exclude):
#!/usr/bin/gawk -f
{
if (ARGIND == 1)
a[$0] = 1
else if (! ($0 in a))
print $0
}
exclude slink-list potato-list will give you the list of new packages.
Hope this helps.
HELP: Mirror/wget over http-proxy with authorisation won't work
Hi, the situation: I want to mirror potato on my local maschine. Direct ftp and http requests don't go through our companies proxy und firewalls. For using our proxy I need authorisation (username/passwd) for any http-application which accesses the proxy. ftp via netscape is working After installing squid on my local machine I found a way that squid does the authorisations for me, any http app no works without doing the authoristion-procedure, any time I start it. Then I've been trying to get the perl script 'mirror' working. It tries to connect via squid, but get's a time out (ftp via netscape to ftp.debian.org works fine) Next try wget: Made the http-authorisation setting in /etc/wgetrc, passive-ftp and so on, it seems to work, it's downloading some stuff, but if I try to use any of the parameters like -m (mirror) Example with http-proxy set to company proxy wget -Y -v -r --no-parent --passive-ftp --http-user=my_user --http-passwd=m y_pass ftp://ftp.rfc822.org:21/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386 --- no route to host wget -Y -v -r --no-parent --passive-ftp --http-user=my_user --http-passwd=m y_pass ftp.rfc822.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386 Connecting to proxy.koogrp.globus.net:port... connected!

Potato broken...?
Hi I have used Poatato on a lot of different machines for a long time now (app. 7 months.) and I have never hard a harder time than now. After fighting with kernel 2.3.40 on potato with a lot of OpenGL stuff included I decided it was to unstable (reboot every 3 hours or so) and wanted to reinstall me machine using the 'good old' 2.2.14 kernel and potato. Last night I decided to reboot with current debian-installation disks for i386 and get the rest from the net. Well everything ran smoothly until I rebooted. Just before I get a prompt Init reports that it's respawning to fast... I switch to getty-2 and do a check on what is running. Nothing of importence. I check inittab and see something like this: '1:2345:respawn:/bin/sh /root/.bash_profile...' which I uncomment and add '1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1' which works. Because I didn't start Debian the normal way nothing is really configured nd I have to do the stuff myself 8-0 I run dselect do get what I need but something breaks on the way and I don't get bin86 and other importent things. I rerun dselect and get the missing stuff (I thought). Somehow Perl seemes to break a lot of dependencies and I end up with a half installed Gnome and missing X-libs... I fix most of it and compile a new kernel with support for SMP and get X running. I create my default useraccount and get my home-dir via nfs only to find out that my fonts are twisted, xscreensaver cannot be installed without deinstalling half of the Gnome-stuff. I believe it's Perl thats busting it up again but I'm not sure. So my conclusion from this experience: Unless the chosen ones (developers) work really hard on potato it's not going to be out as stable soon. To be honest: This was my worst experience with Debian and it seems like it's not over because I'll have to compile a lot of packeges on my own to fix the dependencies... I still look forward to stable and will still continue to use Debian for a long time but some of my confidence in the chosen ones have been lost. -- Sven Esbjerg http://www.dina.dk/~joker

RE: Installation Debian 2.1
i used the potato 2.2.5 boot disks because of a problem of the boot-cd within the debian 2.1 package with the initio-SCSI-host If you only run into trouble when booting from CD, you should use the Debian 2.1 bootdisks. There is a tool on the first CD to create them (rawrite, AFAIR). Also have a look at the libc6 - libc6-bin-thread for further hints on that one. Tobias
