Tarjetas graficas y de TV
Hola a todos. Estoy pensando en comprar una tarjeta gráfica AGP y una sintonizadora de TV y claro, tienen que ir de pila master con el Linux Tarjeta gráfica he pensado en una 3Dfx voodoo3 3000 AGP que tiene salida de TV, descompresión por hardware de MPEG-2 y esta soportada por Xfree desde la versión 3.3.4 ¿ alguien la esta usando ? ¿ que tal va ? ¿ me recomendáis alguna otra (que tenga salida de TV) por un precio parecido ? Sintonizadora de vídeo todavía no lo tengo claro, el PC Actual ponía bien la TerratecTValue Las mismas preguntas que antes :-)+ ¿ que tal funcionara con un K6-2 500MHz ? Un saludo.

Ha nacido ORCA (voten por su eslogan favorito)
Tal como prometí, he creado una página para votar por el eslogan que crean que mejor substituye a Powered by Me demoré una semana mas de lo que esperaba porque decidí ampliar el proyecto y incluir un glosario inglés-castellano que irá creciendo con los resultados de las votaciones. Y porque otro glosario si ya existen algunos y existe un programa con un diccionario (i2e)? Pues siempre que he intentado traducir algo me he encontrado con el problema de que no está algún término. Seria bueno poder entrar en un URL, escribir la traducción que falta, y que qualquier persona la pueda usar incluso a través de la consola, usando el protocolo dict. Pues eso es lo que he hecho. Antes de divulgar este proyecto en barrapunto, bulma, debianl10n, etc, me gustaria que lo ensayeis y me deis vuestra opinión (comentarios, críticas, sugerencias, ofertas de ayuda, etc).

problema con squid
Hola amigos, me ha surgido recientemente un problema muy delicado con squid. Algunas veces al intentar entrar en una URL desde el navegador, el Squid me devuelve el siguiente mensaje: No buffer space available. Tengo instalada la versión 2.3.STABLE1. ¿A que puede ser debido?

Re: Sincronizacion de fecha y hora
Andres Seco Hernandez wrote: En netstd vienen tanto rdate como netdate, y ambos usan la RFC868 para sincronizar la hora. ¿Hacen los dos lo mismo? Yo uso rdate y no me da problemas. La página man de rdate es mucho más escueta que la de netdate, pero ¿en qué se diferencian? Pues no lo sé, pero he estado investigando, y he llegado a una serie de conclusiones: 1a) Con netdate siempre acabas cambiando la fecha y hora de tu sistema. 1b) rdate tiene la opción -p con la que no cambias nada. 2a) netdate tiene cierta inteligencia para averiguar cuál es el mejor de los hosts a los que accede para preguntar la hora, y cuando lo ha averiguado sólo usa la hora de ese host. 2b) rdate sólo te deja preguntarle la hora a un host. 3a) El protocolo RFC868 sólo devuelve 32 bits (tiempo en segundos), pero netdate puede aceptar otros 32 bits extra (microsegundos con exactitud al nivel de milisegundo). 3b) La página man de rdate no dice nada de esto, por lo que es posible que se ajuste al protocolo estrictamente. 4a) netdate te pone la hora que encuentra tal cual. 4b) rdate, con su opción -a, usa la llamada al sistema adjtimex(2) para ir cambiando gradualmente la hora, lo cual es importante por el tema de los crons. 5) Tanto netdate como rdate pueden obtener la hora de cualquier host que la proporcione, lo cual no es garantía de que ese host tenga la hora bien. 6) La hora parece ser que se obtiene a través del puerto 37 (time), por lo que en general podrás preguntarle la hora a cualquier sistema Unix y Linux (incluso yo se la podría preguntar a tu máquina y ésta la daría) que no tengan expresamente deshabilitado este puerto. Por eso, como la hora se la puedes preguntar a casi cualquier sistema Unix/Linux, no debes fiarte mucho de lo que te respondan. Yo casi te aconsejaría que utilizaras el protocolo NTP para obtener la fecha y hora. El NTP sólo lo tienen habilitado (normalmente) aquellos hosts que tienen horas fiables (que obtienen a su vez de otros hosts todavía más fiables). Lo puedes encontrar en el paquete xntp3, y la documentación (el paquete xntp3 viene sin páginas man, lo cual es una mierda) en el paquete xntp3-doc (ambos en la sección net de main). En el paquete, entre otros, tienes un demonio xntpd para la administración automática de la hora del sistema, y el cliente ntpdate. El cliente ntpdate tiene la posibilidad de preguntarle la hora a varios hosts y selecciona al mejor host (como netdate), puede no poner la hora y sólo mostrarla en pantalla (como rdate), y puede usar la llamada al sistema settimeofday(2) para poner la hora a lo bestia (como netdate y rdate) o la adjtimex(2) (aunque en la documentación la llaman adjtime() ) para cambiar la hora gradualmente (como rdate). Además del cliente, tienes el demonio xntpd, que funciona como un ntpdate automático continuo pero mejor: no usa crons (como usaría la implementación a mano de ntpdate's continuos automático)s, maximiza la exactitud y fiabilidad, y minimiza el uso de recursos. En el paquete vienen más programas, aunque sólo encuentro interesante el ntptrace, con el que puedes ver qué camino ha seguido la información NTP desde que salió del servidor primario: # ntptrace gong gong.ci.uv.es: stratum 3, offset -0.055972, synch distance 0.23674 L0.EB-Valencia1.red.rediris.es: stratum 2, offset -0.024855, synch distance 0.12744 hora.rediris.es: stratum 1, offset 0.015771, synch distance 0.00011, refid 'GPS' -- Conrado Badenas [EMAIL PROTECTED] PhD student | Assistant Lecturer Department of Thermodynamics | Department of Optics --- Faculty of Physics.

Re: squid y reducir sus 18 hijos!!!
Antonio Castro writes: [...] Entonces tendriamos que ordenados por pesos estarían en primer lugar los procesos implementados en Windows, luego los procesos implementados en Linux, después los threads de Linux, y lo más ligero de todo creo que serían los threads de Windows. Pues no pillo de dónde sacas esa conclusión. Primero habría que definir pesado con algo más de exactitud. Una definición podría ser algo así como es más pesado cuanto más largo es el cambio de contexto (el paso de ejecutar en la CPU un proceso a ejecutar otro). Y en ese caso, medir lo que se tarde en ese cambio de contexto en cada uno de los casos. Como no tengo datos al respecto, no puedo decir si la clasificación que pones es más o menos cierta o no... En realidad me gusta más la palabra procesos ligeros que threads para el caso de Linux. Procesos ligeros hace referencia a que son procesos más ligeros que los normales en el sentido de que tienen menos contexto, y por lo tanto los cambios son más rápidos. Threads (hilos, hebras) hace referencia a que son unidades de ejecución, esto es, son planificados por el planificador de la CPU. De hecho, los procesos tradicionales suelen considerarse como de una hebra. En los sitemas con threads lo que ocurre es que un proceso normal puede tener en realidad varias hebras, varios flujos de ejecución. Para mi si tienen PID distintos, deberían llamarse procesos. Esto es relativamente poco relevante. Cada thread siempre tiene algún identificador, que puede ser o no un PID, dependiendo normalmente de la implementación. Como en Linux están implementados con clone (como ya ha comentado alguien), que funciona hasta cierto punto de forma (relativamente) análoga al fork, se usan PID como identificadores.

Dialup Doesn't Dialup
Having enjoyed some of the features of Corel Linux, I decided that I wanted to try the real thing. I bought McCarty's book and installed the CD. A number of packaged installs were offered, and I selected Dialup, both for dialup and the X graphics emphasis. Imagine my dismay when I couldn't dialup! Since installing, I have fiddled with granting permissions, joining groups, commenting auth out of options, and I've lost count about what else. But when I run wvdial, everything goes fine until it looks like I've logged on to my ISP (username and password accepted), and then it says something like PPP (D?) died (error 1).

When I boot it using the rescue disk, it starts, loads root.bin, loads linus, uncompresses linux and boots the kernel. A page of cryptic info comes on the screen and the last line reads 'checking hit instruction', then the screen goes blank and the system reboots.

Re: ipfilter
Hi, I put OpenBSD on my firewall box a few months ago specifically for ipfilter. As Phil Brutsche said the latest ipfilter port for Linux is for the 2.0.x kernels, which is too old. Pointless rambling.. I haven't looked back since moving for ipchains to ipfilter. My rules for ipchains were like 30 lines or more and the ipfilter rules are less than 10, mainly due to the fact that ipfilter is stateful (keeps track of how/when connections we're initiated) while ipchains is not. The nicest thing (among many) about ipfilter is I didn't have to open any ports at all to the network except what I wanted (because it is stateful). With ipchains I had to open 1024-65536 for general surfing. Within an hour or so of switching to ipfilter I started seeing attempts at certain high ports I had never seen blocked before. Unfortunately as far as I can tell netfilter won't be any different than ipchains, they just rewrote the code and changed the syntax. ...End pointless rambling Chris Schleifer P.S.

I added a Maxtor 27GB 7200rpm ATA66 drive to my P200MMX when I upgraded to
potatos and kernel 2.2.14.
My motherboard (ASUS TX97-E) only supports udma mode 2 (33MB/sec), but I
find that this drive and my old WD 4GB (no UDMA) both show the same speed
of about 9.4MB/sec with hdparm -t. Even if the new drive is the only drive
on the primary IDE interface.
You can't expect any improvents unless you turn multcount to 16 or to
whatever your drive supports, and switch I/O into 32bit mode. Just with
those two turned on, my WD goes from 6 to 12 MB/s without using DMA.
Also I recommend setting unmaskirq to on, because that frees up your CPU
when it does disk transfer; the multcount setting saves you the number
of interrupts per transfer the size of this setting (i.e. 1 interrupt per 16
blocks instead of 16 interrupts per 16 blocks) that you set it to, so it's
very important, so is 32 bit transfer mode. The 16 bit mode is really an
archaic setting
dating back to early Pentium and 486 machines, this issue really needs
to be addressed on distribution level, since most people don't bother
playing with hdparm at all, they're always SLOW. What's ironic, is you
can configure your kernel to enable DMA, but can't enable 32 bit I/O.
Sheesh! That sounded so good, but as shown below, those settings made no
difference. I tried again with just the one drive on the rimary IDE (no
slave). I tried -X34 too, but it hung the machine. Fortunately, no damage
was done when I hit the reset switch.
Any other ideas? Could I be missing kernel config options, or would hdparm
know that and not set the values?

I installed the latest version of the base Debian system on an old 486 today (clean system). The installation seemed to work fine, but when I tried to boot from the hard disk, the letters LI appeared and the system froze. I re-booted from the rescue disk, and re-installed, but the problem persisted. Although I don't know if it's connected, the root directory claims to be set on read-only no matter how many times I set it otherwise. I tried, once again, to boot from the rescue disk, but it now also freezes after LI. I tried three different disks as rescue disks and rawrote the image many times, but the disk still does nothing but say LI.

Re: 7200 RPM udma33 same speed as 5400 PIO mode 4
just because the drive has higher rpms does not mean its faster, drive
technology (esp data density) has a major impact on performance, if the
5400rpm drive can store more data in less physical area it will perform
faster then the 7200rpm. ive seen benchmarks that showed more modern 5400
drives outrunning the first couple generations of ibm 7200rpm drives. i
dont know how old your drives are but figure it'd be worth pointing out.

rickma You can't expect any improvents unless you turn multcount to 16 or to

with

rickma when it does disk transfer; the multcount setting saves you the number
rickma of interrupts per transfer the size of this setting (i.e. 1 interrupt

it's very important, so is 32 bit transfer mode. The 16 bit mode is really an
archaic setting
rickma dating back to early Pentium and 486 machines, this issue really needs
rickma to be addressed on distribution level, since most people don't bother
rickma playing with hdparm at all, they're always SLOW. What's ironic, is you
rickma can configure your kernel to enable DMA, but can't enable 32 bit I/O.

rickma Sheesh! That sounded so good, but as shown below, those settings made no

They specifically say that it is not currently able to reliably handle local files. This is rough software with quite a way to go before it reaches Prime Time. I have not used the Linux version, although I did use the Windows version for a while. I was not really impressed with the Windows version, but I will try the Linux version when it is ready.

CAR TECHNOLOGY
WE ARE SENDING YOU THIS MESSAGE IN ORDER TO INTRODUCE YOU TO A NEW WEB SITE ABOUT CAR TECHNOLOGY. THIS IS THE ONLY MESSAGE WE ARE WRITING TO YOU. WE HAVE GOT YOUR E-MAIL FROM THE WEB PAGE ON THE INTERNET. If you want to resell products concerning cars, do not hesitate to contact us! Do you want to know the most reliable and cheapest technological innovations to better the performance of your car and keep it in good health for a long time? Every day the market offers innumerable new gadgets for drivers, but only a few of them get through a careful and competent analysis. APS-Technology staff selects the best products in the wide sea of offers, and proposes them to the drivers, granting their quality and cheapness. This month's proposal is called Elephant and it is the right way to leave the traditional, uncomfortable and unsafe snow chains. Elephant snow crampons are really revolutionary for six valid reasons: · They are easier to fit than traditional chains; · They can be used on snow, ice, unmetalled roads and even on asphalt because they do not damage either tyres or asphalt; · They allow you to reach higher speeds in comparision to the ones you can reach with traditional chains because their adhesion to the ground is definitely more than with metal chains. · They never rust, therefore they last more; · They do not damage the mechanical parts of the car, while the old snow chains are really deadly for bodywork, shock absorbers, etc. · They have a size of only 9 mm, therefore they can be fitted on most modern vehicles, even sportsvehicles. Worldwide advance novelty, Elephant crampons are on sale for a special offer at APS-Technology.

Das Angebot dieses Monats heisst Elephant. Es stellt das Überholen der traditionellen, unbequemen und unsicheren Schneeketten dar. Die Elephant Schneekrampen sind höchst innovativ, aus 6 Gründen: Sie werden einfacher als die traditionellen Ketten befestigt. Man verwendet sie auf Schnee, Eis und Asphalt, denn sie zerstören weder die Reifendecken noch die Strassen.Sie erlauben höhere Geschwindigkeiten als die traditionellen Ketten denn ihre Bodenhaftung ist höher als die der Stahlkette. Sie rosten nie und halten länger Sie zerstören nicht die mechanischen Geräte des Autos wie die traditionellen Ketten, die für das Getriebegehäuse und die Aufhängungen tödlich sind. Sie haben eine Aussenmasse von 9 mm. Sie sind für alle modernen Autos sowie Sportautos geeignet. Die Elephant Krampen stehen bei APS-Technology zu Verfügung.

Your CD does not include the non_free section. The libforms-0.88 package is in non-free. If you have an internet connection, then you can get the packages either automatically with apt (or dselect), or manually by ftp. To use apt, you'll need to have an appropriate sources list (/etc/apt/sources.list), e.g. long:syrus$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian slink main contrib non-free deb http://conan.eecg.toronto.edu/debian slink non-US deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian dists/proposed-updates/ If you use apt, installing lyx will be as simple as editing your sources.list file, and then using a command like this: root$ apt-get update ; apt-get install lyx apt should take care of all the dependencies.
