Re: ACPI Dual Monitor....
El Fri, Feb 11, 2000, Antonio Lara Quirós... Buenas, pues eso... alguien sabe de recursos por ahi sueltos sobre ACPI y algo parecido al Dual Monitor de windows (dos tarj. graficas dos monitores y poder abrir una consola en cada uno, o tambien poder llegar a hacerlo con las X... ). Bueno si no hay recursos y alguien ha probado estas cosillas pos que meche una mano, ;). Lo único que te puedo comentar es que en la próxima versión 3.4 de las Xfree se podrá utilizar dos (¿o más?) tarjetas/monitores, y creo que tanto para desviar aplicaciones a uno u otro, como para visualizar el escritorio en ambos como de uno se tratara. Más información seguro tendrán en las páginas web de Xfree. Saludos. -- Cosme P.

Off Topic: Protocolo en la lista
Hola a todos/as: Desde hace algún tiempo se viene discutiendo aquí sobre los problemas y beneficios que conlleva el que personas no suscritas a la lista envíen correo a la misma. Yo quería dar mi opinión sobre lo que entiendo que debe ser una lista de correo: 1.- Una lista de correo es un medio de intercambio de información sobre un tema específico (Linux en nuestro caso) entre personas con diversos niveles de conocimientos. 2.- Todos tenemos cabida, desde el más novato hasta el más gurú. Sin embargo, entiendo que es apropiado intentar resolver el problema con medios propios antes de preguntar a toda la lista. Antes de preguntar hay que leer la información disponilble (o preguntar al menos dónde encontrarla) 4.- La información de la lista no hay que buscarla a través de la red, sino que llega al buzón de correo del interesado/a. Por eso, es necesario estar suscrito a la lista para recibir información, y en teoría, también para enviar mensajes a la lista. En esto se diferencia de las news, lo que permite evitar el SPAM, pues alguien que no respeta a los demás colisteros es dado de baja. 5.- Las listas de correo son configurables por parte del usuario mediante mensajes a una dirección de gestión de la lista (majordomo, lista-request, ...). Aquí pongo algunos ejemplos, sacados del libro Internet, manual de referencia de Harley Hann, y aunque problablemente no funcionen en una lista específica, existirán otros similares: · help: envía sumario con las órdenes básicas · info ?: envía lista de información de temas · info tema: envía información sobre un tema específico · susbcribe lista nombre: causa alta en la lista especificada · unsusbcribe lista nombre: causa baja en la lista especificada · set lista nomail: interrumpe temporalmente el envío de mensajes · set lista mail: reanuda el envío de mensajes de la lista ^^^ · set lista repro: envía copias de los mensajes propios · set lista norepro: no envía copias de los mensajes propios 6.- Existe una persona encargada de gestionar la lista a la que se puede recurrir si algo no funciona como cabría esperar, o para solicitar las órdenes de configuración de la lista. El buen funcionamiento de una lista de correo depende de la gestión que la persona encargada realice, pero sobre todo del buen uso que hagan los usuarios de la misma. Yo propongo algunas líneas de actuación: a.- Eliminar de la lista todo SPAM tomando las medidas necesarias para ello (obligar a la suscripción para enviar mensajes a la lista, o cualquier otra opción) b.- Evitar mensajes del tipo No me funciona XWindow sin más datos, así conseguiremos que la lista sea más util. ¡Qué mínimo que saber la versión, tarjeta, y mensajes del sistema! Todos somos novatos por mucho tiempo que llevemos con Linux, y hay que entender las prisas por tener un Linux UpRunning, pero la documentación está para leerla. c.- Los mensajes de agradecimiento son correctos, pero deberían incluir un resumen del problema y la solución, para que tengan sentido para todos los suscriptores de la lista, si es que ha habido correo privado entre quien pregunta y quien responde. d.- No usar HTML en los mensajes para que sean de fácil lectura para todos. e.- Eliminar el cross-posting a varias listas de correo. Esto es sólo mi opinión, no pretendo ir contra nada ni contra nadie, sino a favor del mejor funcionamiento de la lista. Perdón por el rollo, y... -- Un saludo Raúl Hernández [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Install problems with Phoenix BIOS
I have now experienced problems with two different computers using old versions of Phoenix BIOS, when booting the Debian 2.1 rescue floppy. One was a Packard Bell system at a free Linux Install our LUG did a couple months ago... the other is a Gateway system. Both 486's. It gets give the SYSLINUX prompt, asks you to hit ENTER, and upon doing so, it freezes, saying, I believe, Loading Linux... A RedHat floppy on both systems worked fine. At the Install a couple months ago, we ended up doing a custom boot from a DOS floppy, using LOADLIN But certianly there's a better way. What is it with the Debian Rescue disk that doesn't like the Phoenix BIOSes, but that RedHat gets along just fine? Is there a newer (potato?) or older (hamm or bo?) boot disk that is known to work with these BIOSes? Is this an as-of-yet unreported problem that should be submitted as a bug somewhere? -- '640K ought to be enough for anybody.' - Bill Gates, 1981 -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Jonathan Hall * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * PGP public key available Systems Admin, Future Internet Services; Goessel, KS * (316) 367-2487 http://www.futureks.net * PGP Key ID: FE 00 FD 51 -= Running Debian GNU/Linux =- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Re: graphical login
A couple people have suggested that, but isn't it just easier to do a dpkg --purge xdm? You may want to connect from another X machine to your local machine, and login via XDMCP ; in this case, all that is required is to tell xdm not to start an xserver on your machine, but to continue to service requests from other machines. Thus /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. Yes, that's what I think to. If I want to use the graphical login later it is easy to uncomment the line. At the moment I use VNC to administrate my server over a remote login, works fine. Uwe
X-Error 'No type converter registered for String to Bitmap'
I reall need help for this: I have standard Debian GNU/Linux (Slink) 2.1. Since I have installed it (I tried to reinstall 3 times to get rid of it), I get following error in couple of X applications: No type converter registered for String to Bitmap conversion. This shows when I run xscreensaver on the screen, when I run gv or ghostscript (that's why it is annoying, for every printing-preview), and when I run couple of other X applications. Basically, every screen saver gives this error to the STERR and other X applications. Now, how to solve this? Or, how to register the type converter? Marko

X crashes when moving mouse
I have Slink 2.1. When I start X, either via XDM or via startx, switch to konsole, switch back to X and in the same time move my mouse vigorously (or accidentaly) my X crashes. If I leave the mouse while switching to X for couple of seconds, everything is alright. I have ps/2 mouse and it works fine. The crash comes when switching to X and in the same time trying to move the mouse (which doesn't move on the screen for couple of seconds). What is this and how to get rid of this? This makes my work very unsecure, as it has a big risk to crash my applications, if I start using X immediately after the switch from the konsole. Marko

I have an old 486 here that I had problems with as well. In my case the problem was solved by using the Tecra image instead of the standard image. I'm not 100% sure, but I do believe that this 486 does use a Phoenix BIOS. This 486 also refuses to boot a kernel made with make bzimage but boots a kernel made with make zimage just fine, so that *might* be something else to keep in mind. From what little I understand of the whole thing, it's actually a hardware thing. Somehow the way that the motherboard is done is just enough nonstandard that something in the kernel compression routine barfs when it trys to hit a certain area in the memory or something along those lines. And as I understand it the Tecra images were created specifically in response to this. IIRC they are named Tecra as that was the first machine to be made this way. Bear in mind this entire last paragraph could well be nowhere near reality, so don't take it as gospel.

defunct processes?

It boots up, runs stunnel and ssh a daemons, the rest of the standard stuff though inetd, and everything works fine. Eventually, in a matter of hours, things break.

Re: Segmentation fault
Thanks, Pete I see from further investigation that gcc wants me to be more actively concerned with memory management than was required under Visual C, and I was logging on to apologize for bothering the list. I posted because this code ran cleanly under Visual C, so I thought I ran into a Linux nuance It looks as though I was running into problems when trying to scan an input file using c notation which is less efficient of memory, so I'm in the process of revising all of the I/O to use c++ resources. Still, it comes as a surprise, but I'm very early on the gcc learning curve This is a large theoretical problem I was attacking so my initial preference was not to alter anything that didn't requiring fixing, but the code is certainly cleaner after reworking In general, I am beginning to notice that gcc's posture is that you do more for yourself. It also seems to be strictly limited to ANSI c. For example, there doesn't seem to be any support for min, max, and itoa and I ended up writing/rewriting that portion of the code BTW, I notices that my non-working install of XFree86 3.3.6 (?) is also generating Segmentation faults, suggestive of bugs in the newest release.

This surprises me; I'd have thought stdio was more memory-efficient than iostreams, if it's an issue at all (which I rather doubt). Regardless, a segmentation fault is an indication of a memory access bug in your program rather than running out of memory (it may not have happened in Visual C simply because you were lucky in the way Visual C allocated memory for you), so you may be trying to fix the wrong problem by doing all this rewriting. (Of course, you may be lucky and accidentally fix it in the process, or the problem may have been that you didn't know how to use stdio and are more successful in using iostreams, but I suppose it depends whether you actually want to know what you're doing ...)

For example, there doesn't seem to be any support for min, max, and itoa and I ended up writing/rewriting that portion of the code I think you desperately need to read 'info gcc' and 'info libc'. gcc is notoriously far from limited to ANSI C. :) Actually, your problem is not with gcc, it seems to be that the GNU C Library (libc/glibc) doesn't have what you want; it's far from limited to ANSI C either, but any C programmer worth his/her salt knows that if you use extensions in your code you should expect them not to be portable. glibc simply has different extensions to Visual C; in general I've found it a much more helpful and much better documented C library than the Microsoft one, but I may be biased. Besides, min(), max(), and itoa() are hardly difficult. How about: #define min(a,b) ((a) (b) ? (a) : (b)) #define max(a,b) ((a) (b) ? (a) : (b)) ... or equivalent function definitions if the double evaluation bothers you, and sprintf() instead of itoa()?

Re: Is frozen's ppp broken?
I had the same problem. What happened is that the latest version of ppp now includes ppp-pam, so ppp-pam is removed when upgrading to ppp 2.3.11-1. However, there was an entry in /var/lib/dpkg/diversions that I think was supposed to be removed when ppp-pam was removed but wasn't. In fact I saw an error message flash by to that effect during the upgrade. The entry in /var/lib/dpkg/diversions looks like this: /usr/sbin/pppd /usr/sbin/pppd.ppp-pam ppp-pam That apparently causes /usr/sbin/pppd to be renamed to /usr/sbin/pppd.ppp-pam when installed. Not completely understanding this at first, I manually deleted those 3 lines and then reinstalled ppp 2.3.11-1, which then installed the binary /usr/sbin/pppd. After that everything worked OK. Actually, I later realized that /usr/sbin/pppd and /usr/sbin/pppd.ppp-pam are the same file - so I just deleted the pppd.ppp-pam copy.

I posted because this code ran cleanly under Visual C, so I thought I ran into a Linux nuance It looks as though I was running into problems when trying to scan an input file using c notation which is less efficient of memory, so I'm in the process of revising all of the I/O to use c++ resources. This surprises me; I'd have thought stdio was more memory-efficient than iostreams, if it's an issue at all (which I rather doubt). Regardless, a segmentation fault is an indication of a memory access bug in your program rather than running out of memory (it may not have happened in Visual C simply because you were lucky in the way Visual C allocated memory for you), so you may be trying to fix the wrong problem by doing all this rewriting. (Of course, you may be lucky and accidentally fix it in the process, or the problem may have been that you didn't know how to use stdio and are more successful in using iostreams, but I suppose it depends whether you actually want to know what you're doing ...) In general, I am beginning to notice that gcc's posture is that you do more for yourself. It also seems to be strictly limited to ANSI c. For example, there doesn't seem to be any support for min, max, and itoa and I ended up writing/rewriting that portion of the code I think you desperately need to read 'info gcc' and 'info libc'. gcc is notoriously far from limited to ANSI C. :) Actually, your problem is not with gcc, it seems to be that the GNU C Library (libc/glibc) doesn't have what you want; it's far from limited to ANSI C either, but any C programmer worth his/her salt knows that if you use extensions in your code you should expect them not to be portable. glibc simply has different extensions to Visual C; in general I've found it a much more helpful and much better documented C library than the Microsoft one, but I may be biased. Besides, min(), max(), and itoa() are hardly difficult. How about: #define min(a,b) ((a) (b) ? (a) : (b)) #define max(a,b) ((a) (b) ? (a) : (b)) ... or equivalent function definitions if the double evaluation bothers you, and sprintf() instead of itoa()? If you program in ANSI C wherever possible to start with rather than lazily using extensions, you'll have a much easier time of it.

HELP - Screwed Up Package Listings

Look in the directory /var/lib/dpkg at the files status *. there should be a status-old file that MAY match your package listing before your dselect screw-up. If it does match, then rename this file to status and run dselect to check it. If not, then look at the files status.yesterday.*, one of them may match your actual and/or desired status. If this is so, then copy that file to ./status. I've done this when in a similar situation, and suffered no ill effects. I hope this is what you're looking for. -ptw
Re: Installing
The most recent boot-floppies build available for downloading can be found at http://www.debian.org/~joeyh/bf/feb11/;, it is a 2.2.7 test build and is much better than 2.2.6. In a day or two there should be an even better 2.2.7 build available in the main ftp archive (but that really depends on how long it takes the upload to make it through Incoming, 2.2.6 took almost a week :( ). I don't know about the state of LS-120 support, and it may be best if you direct questions regarding it to the debian-boot mailing list. Off the top of my head... you probably want to try the disks-2.88 files since they include both the install system root and the kernel; the 1.44 and 1.20 files have the kernel in the rescue.bin image and the root system in the root.bin image, because both will not fit onto a single floppy. - Bruce -- On Sun, 13 Feb 2000, Robin Cook wrote: Hello, I am trying to install the current frozen potato 2.2.6 but I don't seem to be able to use the floppy install.

Re: HELP - Screwed Up Package Listings
If you have only just done this, and not played with dselect since,
then a
cp /var/lib/dpkg/status{.old,}
command will set things right. It would be a good idea to look at the
status.old file first (more, less, your favorite text editor), just to
make sure it has what you want.
If you have been in and out of dselect, making changes each time, then
it may be possible to revert to one of the archive copies of the status
file (status.0, status.1.gz, etc.), although these may not reflect the
state of your system if you have added or removed packages since they
were created. If which case you can manually add or delete the
appropriate entries by cut'n'paste and editing the status field to
reflect the state those packages are in.
Hope that helps,
Bruce

I've searched the faqs and online docs but to no avail, any assistance you could offer me would be much appreciated.

I assume that i need to use the drivers disks to insert the correct modules for my ethernet card, but I couldn't find any info in the installation how-to as to how to do this (it simply skimmed over it).
