Se puede poner el link para que en lugar de apuntar a /dev/tty0 apunte 
a otro sitio.


Si enlacaramos /dev/console con un fichero normal se sobre escribiría
el fichero a cada momento. Es decir que si hacemos.

echo   /dev/console
echo   /dev/console

La segunda sobreescribiría la segunda.

Por eso se me ocurre usar un FIFO aunque es una chapuza por imaginar

ln -s  /tmp/tty0 console
mknod /tmp/tty0.fifo p
chmod 666 /tmp/tty0.fifo

Por último dejas permanentemente un proceso que lea continuamente  
/tmp/tty0.fifo y que escriba continuamente en un fichero /tmp/tty0.file

Si el proceso que lee ese fifo se cae. Los procesos que manden algo a
/dev/console quedarán bloquedaos en espera que un proceso lea el fifo.

En el fichero /etc/syslog.conf se puede definir donde quieres que
salgan los mensajes de log, error, etc.

Como por el ejemplo redirigirlo a una consola que no se usa :

# I like to have messages displayed on the console, but only on a
virtual
# console I usually leave idle.
#
#daemon,mail.*;\
#   news.=crit;news.=err;news.=notice;\
#   *.=debug;*.=info;\
#   *.=notice;*.=warn   /dev/tty8

... o a un fichero :

*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
cron,daemon.none;\
mail,news.none  -/var/log/messages

Supongo que siempre se puede hacer un MIX-MIX.

 Por si lo quieres saber seguí las instrucciones que otro co-listero me pasó
 de debian-user@lists.debian.org, aunque es una medida drástica si la
 realizas con cuidado no tiene por qué dar problema.
 
 se crea este archivo
 /usr/bin/readlink

He estado siguiendo esa discusion en debian-user@lists.debian.org porque
también me actualizare, y parece ser que no hay que crear
/usr/bin/readlink sino /bin/readlink.

El motivo es que debianutils_1.13.2.deb de potato crea readlink en /bin
y no en /usr/bin, y por tanto, de esta forma al actualizarse se
sobreescribirá readlink correctamente.

De todas formas, funciona como has hecho tu, como habras podido comprobar.

 
 con este contenido
 #!/bin/sh
 true
 
 y ¡MUY IMPORTANTE PARA QUE CHUTE!, Se le dan accesos de Ejecución!, yo me
 curé en salud e hice un chmod 777 /usr/bin/readlink
 
 Después se fuerza la instalación de libc6 dpkg --force-depends i libc6...
 
 después un apt-get -f install y por último el apt-get dist.-upgrade...
 
 Eso si, ESTE MÉTODO NO ES ACONSEJABLE Y PUEDE DEJARTE LA INSTALACIÓN DE
 LINUX K.O. asi que yo me lo pensaría dos veces antes de hacerlo.

Error de compilacion kernel 2.0.36

Recien instalo slink con perfil 2 (dialup machine) y al

Si no me equivoco (de programacion no se nada) el problema
surge al compilar boot.s a boot.o

Es cierto que este compilador no lo tengo, slink instala
'nas', pregunta: es el problema la falta de 'as86'?  Si asi
fuera... creE un link 'as86' a 'nas' y no reconocio la

cierto? y  me consigo el proveedor, pero el problema es que en Colombia hasta 
donde tengo entendido no hay proveedores de Internet por Satelite, escuche 
alguna vez de uno pero necesitaba que uno se conectara via
telfonica para pedir los datos y por la antena le llegaba el resto.. vaya 
servicio!!!
Pero me surge la idea : yo podria entonces afiliarme a un servicio de estos por 
decir algo en Estados Unidos, pagar mi afiliacion y la mensualidad con tarjeta 
de credito y gozar de este servicio en mi pais?

gracias.

p.d. disculpen si lo que estoy diciendo es una bestialidad, pero se podria?

 Thank you but this occurs when installing on a new machine
 this machines has an SCSI Host Adaptec AIC 7895P on the mainboard...

The message just says that the kernel suport for NCR* is compiled in (not
in module). So, unless you recompile the kernel without the NCR* support,
you'd get the message again and again. This is quite normal, the rescue
disk should support certain disk controllers and NICs (and other add-on
cards), so that during the installation, the kernel would detect all
(plausible) machine configurations. 

Consider all those messages you don't like as a challenge; the question
is, how to get rid all of those. It's good that you don't like them,
because unused code would stay on memory filling things up; having a
kernel that really suits your system would mean that your system is well
tuned-up, IMHO. BTW, to conquer the challenge begins with: make
menuconfig (done in /usr/src/linux).

  i see this happen every so often usually after visiting a badly

yes, it's true.

I like to use apt-move to create a local mirror of all the packages I've
installed. This makes it easy to keep the other machines on my home lan
up to date. All I do is make the apt-move directory (in my case it's on

I think this may be the sort of thing you're wanting ... I could easily
be wrong though.

 thats ok, but i would mount it defaults,nosuid for extra security. (it
 depends on how you partitioned if /var and /tmp and /home are there
 own partitions you should be able to mount them all nosuid)
 

1) extra security?

  nosuid Do not  allow  set-user-identifier  or  set-

 you have suidperl(1) installed.)

elegant way to do it, but there's a Linux Gazette article for
setting up mail for a home network. In it the author shares one
email address between himself and his wife by filtering on the Real

very secure, so if you have a bunch of users, then it may not be the
best method. Check out the article, it may give you some pointers.

Try setting your LANG variable to something other than C (default if

LANG=en_US # for instance

This'll work automatically, but you still need to source it in .bashrc
for terminals.

Now if I could just figure out how to type extended characters at the

 Thanks all, I'll just follow this advice below.  Where in the boot

hmm?  the chmod is permanent, just like when you chmod any other
directory on a unix like filesystem the permissions don't go away on
reboot, they are permananent, same is true for /tmp (so long as its a
unix like filesystem like ext2) 

just make sure you use permissions 1777 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] eb]$ ls -ld /tmp/

the 1 is the sticky bit (the t ) which prevents users from deleting
files they don't own.

 Tertiary question - why nosuid on /var or /home?  Don't some programs
 leave some stuff in /var (vgetty comes to mind), and shouldn't you
 allow users to set sticky bits on their own stuff?  It doesn't make
 much difference on this machine since it is my desktop, but I'd like
 to know for future reference. :) 

/var is more questionable for nosuid since some (imo broken) stuff
keeps suid binaries there, my system has no such packages installed
there are no set[ug]id files anywhere in /var so i can mount it nosuid
and not have to worry about any suid root shells being hidden away in
the all too many world writable directories there.

note that the s bit is NOT the sticky bit the sticky bit shows up as a
t in the last character of the permissions (see /tmp) the sticky bit
is only relevant on directories.  normally users who have write
permission to a directory may delete any file in that directory
regardless of whether they own the files or have any permission to the
files, that is not always desireable (/tmp and any other world
writable place) setting the sticky bit changes this behaviour to only
allow a user to delete a file if 1) they own it or 2) they own the
directory. nosuid has no effect whatsoever on the sticky bit.

 Thanks again!

no problem

KDE and other window managers

Is there a way that I can easilly package it so it can be later easily

 there? 

It won't.  If the BIOS doesn't see your drive then you need to fix 
that before any fdisk or partition-recovery software can work on it.

Likely culprits are incorrect jumpers, missing power cables, and
bad or misfitted ribbon cables.

If you've had your case open, re-check that all your cables are
seated correctly and verify that you don't have any that are
off-by-one-row-of-pins.  Verify that the problem drive and any
others on the same cable have power cables connected, and all
pins are correctly seated (some drives will operate after a
fashion with no power cable, presumably running off power sucked
through the ribbon cable; sometimes when you insert a power
cable the pin on the drive pushes its mate out of the power
connector shell, rather than seating itself comfortably in the
socket). If you have a spare ribbon cable, try replacing the one
you're using now (if all else fails, get a known good one and do
that anyway).

If you've re-cabled or re-installed your drives, verify the
jumper settings and try using the problem drive as a single
master: some drives have problems acting as the master for some
slaves, and vice versa.

 Hi !
 
 Is it possibble to masquarade my e-mail to the outside world from 
 my LAN ? I'll tell you exactly what I wanted to say. I have a local 
 LAN, one e-mail address. I have set up a local DNS and ipchains 
 rules but I stopped at sendmail. I want to relay mail for the local 
 machines and put the mail into a queue if it goes to the inet but 
 deliver immediatelly inside the LAN. The domain has the name 
 linbase.org (not registreted) so all of the outgoing mails have to 
 have [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the valid mail address) at the From: 
 and in the Reply-to: fields, not [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Please, help me, how to setup this ! I welcome any URLs, RTFMs, 
 HOWTOs if it's apart from the official docs in the distros, 
 because I have already read through them but (maybe I'm too dumb 
 or overlooked something) found nothing to my special problem. 
 Does anyone has a working solution to the situation like this ? If 
 you have a solution with Exim I would welcome it too.
 Thanx a lot,
 Ago
 

I do this with exim; we have two dialup accounts, and a local
LAN.  We want outgoing mail to have our dial-up account name
in From and Reply-To, but we want local mail (including mail
addressed to the dial-up account names) delivered directly.
We also want to be able to send mail to other dial-up users
at our ISP.

What I've done is this:

 - Listed our ISP mail host name in local_domains in /etc/exim.conf:
   local_domains = localhost:*.localnet:isp.net.au

 - Added a special director that handles locally-generated mail for 
   one of our dialup accounts, at the head of the list of directors:
   dialup_localusers:
 driver = aliasfile
 domains = isp.net.au
 file = /etc/exim/isp-addresses
 search_type = lsearch

   /etc/exim/isp-addresses is a regular alias file that maps ISP
   account names to local usernames (or other addresses), like this:
   huiac:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 - Added another director after that one, that deals with any other
   customers of our ISP:
   dialup_otherusers:
 driver = smartuser
 domains = isp.net.au
 transport = remote_smtp

 - If I had accounts at more than one ISP, I'd need to create 
   a separate alias file and two directors (local users/other
   ISP users) for each ISP.

 - Use a smarthost (our ISP) for delivering non-local mail; as the
   local machine is mailserver for our entire LAN, this is the only
   entry in the ROUTERS section of /etc/exim.conf:
   smarthost:
 driver = domainlist
 transport = remote_smtp
 route_list = * mail.isp.net.au bydns_a

   If I wanted to deliver mail to other machines on my internal LAN,
   I'd need an additional router ahead of this one to handle those.

 - Added rewriting rules to replace our local LAN addresses with
   the appropriate ISP account addresses in any headers:
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/exim/outgoing-addresses}\
{$value}fail} Fh
   
   /etc/exim/outgoing-addresses contains lines like this:
   john   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

   This example replaces the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
   [EMAIL PROTECTED] in all headers except envelope To: headers.

Simpler schemes are possible, but this is the only one I've
devised so far that will deliver locally-generated mail
addressed to one of my dial-up accounts (e.g.,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) as local mail (i.e., without going via my
ISP's mailserver), deals with multiple dial-up account names
and also correctly delivers mail to other people's accounts 
on my ISP.

RFC: NO, THE X SERVERS SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON XFONTS-BASE

In a stressful time like freeze, it is really aggravating to deal with the
nonstop trickle of people who tell me that because *THEIR* system is
broken, I need to add a DEPENDENCY on xfonts-base to all the X servers, or
to xserver-common.

This is WRONG.  Utterly, completely, and totally WRONG.

There's more than one way the get font services to the X server.
Installing fonts locally is only one of them.

If anybody has any suggestions that would get this fact through cluebies'
thick skulls that doesn't:
  1) require me to dick with the package interrelationships
  2) isn't documentation, since the people who report this problem can't
 be bothered to read any (the Debian X FAQ, the xserver-common package
 description)
  3) will not inconvenience users who already know what's going on, or
 understand the concept of a font server
I'd very much appreciate hearing these suggestions.  Please DON'T send them
directly to me; send them to debian-x@lists.debian.org instead so they can
be considered and discussed by a number of people.

People who don't have a handle on the issues involved need not reply to
this message.  I'm looking for suggestions from people who know what
they're talking about, and who understand that Debian is a distribution
that refuses to compromise its flexibity for the sake of less-knowledgeable
users.  We need intelligent solutions that hold the newbie's hand without
hamstringing the wizard.

Thanks in advance for any intelligent suggestions.

I'm Cc'ing the xviddetect package maintainer because there may be a way to
work a question about font services into anXious (this is the X-configuring
component of the new install system for potato).  If the user doesn't
understand the question, then we should default to piling fonts on his
machine.  The penalty for ignorance is reduced free space on the drive.  :)

Not really. /etc/init.d/network has been clearly a broken implmentation for
a long, long, time. For example, everyone who upgraded a debian box to a
2.2 kernel has experienced the joy of having to go in and remove route
commands the kernel now handles automatically, to stop nasty error messages
from appearing on bootup. Debian is supposed to handle upgrade issues like
that automatically, but with a free-form shell script, you cannot.

Question about updating libc6_2.1.3-4

2000-02-25 Thread Liu Chung Him
Dear All,

I just install the slink and want to update the libc6_2.0.7
to libc6_2.1.3.4. When i install the libc6_2.1.3.4, dpkg show me that it
depends on debianutils = 1.13.1 . Therefore, i download the
debianutil_1.13.2 . However, when i install the debianutils, it shows me
that it depends on libc6 =2.1 . Why they depend on each other ??
How can i solve this ??

Thank you!

I don't think so.  The bios information is stored in
battery-backed RAM that is examined by the kernel at boot time
but is not otherwise used or directly accessible on Linux
systems (unless you include support for /dev/nvram when you
build your kernel, and even then you have to actually access it
through the appropriate device); cfdisk gets the geometry from
the kernel, but it doesn't change anything on your disk other
than what's recorded on the media.  The BIOS auto-detection
interrogates the firmware on your drive to determine disk
geometry, and a failure to detect the disk suggests missing or
broken firmware (e.g. a dead or disconnected drive), a problem
with your IDE interface (e.g. a broken motherboard or plug-in
adapter) or some kind of problem with your IDE chain (e.g. a dud
or incorrectly fitted cable).

It may be that you could misconfigure a drive using hdparm to
the extent that it wouldn't work, but I can't see how.

Does the drive have any fancy tricks, like UDMA?  If so that
may require a compatible interface, BIOS settings or jumpering 
on the drive to make it work with your interface.  If you know
the model of your drive, that might be useful information to
post.

One other possibility is a resource conflict (e.g., IRQ 15 or IO
0x1f0-f used both by your IDE controller and some other device);
can your BIOS see other IDE devices on that cable?  If not and 
you've changed BIOS resource settings or inserted any adapters,
check that out (pulling the battery off the motherboard counts
as changing BIOS settings in a big way :).

Finally, just to confirm: are we talking about a fairly plain
PCI/ISA IBM-compatible desktop system?  All bets are off if it's
a laptop...

Stencile it NSA Echelon Data 1998.11.30 and drop it outside your local
French consulate.  Your data will be retrieved

Seriously, depending on the type of drive failure(s) and/or the
importance of the data, you might want to consider a data retrieval
service.  If I didn't particularly care about the possiblity of having
bad heads munge the rest of the disk, I might do a raw access via 'dd'
to build an image file.  A successfully created image file should be
mountable via a loopback device under Linux -- if the original wasn't
compressed via Doublespace or other Windows compression.

Loopback mount:

   # assume file win.img
   mkdir mountpoint
   mount -o loop,ro -t vfat win.img mountpoint

...should do it.  You'll need to have built loopback filesystem support
into your kernel.

 If not readily accessible from simple script, does anyone know of some
 packages that retrieve files from a corrupted disk?

Norton (Symantec) has a set of rescue tools, IIRC.  Note again that if
your problem is hardware faults, trying to save the data may lose more
of it.

Hi,

I am going to upgrade from Debian slink 2.1 to potato. Can
anybody tell me if I am wrong about the procedure? Actually,
I am working with a spanish non-official Debian distribution
and it includes apt-get, Kde, gnome, etc. I am not sure about
the consequences of upgrading to the official distribution.

I can't tell you anything about upgrading from an unofficial distribution,
but I think there shouldn't be any problems.

You know that potato still isn't supposed to be stable, don't you?
Maybe you should wait some weeks for the stable release, although I
use potato for about four months now, sometimes with _very_ serious
bugs and broken dependencies that nearly broke my system.

I for my person will do the upgrade to woody this weekend, I think.
But I wouldn' recommand that to anybody who doesn't know what he's
doing!

1) I need to change /etc/apt/sources.list so that it will only
include the following lines:
deb ftp://ftp.usc.es/pub/mirror/linux/debian potato main contrib
non-free
deb http://ceu.fi.udc.es/debian-non-US potato non-US/main non-US/contrib 
non-US/non-free

Looks OK.

2) Now, as root, 
dpkg --get-selections *

Never heard about that. apt-get uses dpkg as a backend, so it knows
what packages are installed on your system. I you think you need it,
use it, but I've done the upgrade without it.

apt-get update

If you plan to use dselect to install packages in the future you might
want to run 'dselect update' instead so dselect also knows about the
package-lists.

apt-get install apt debconf

looks OK...
Maybe it's a good idea to upgrade apt and install debconf, as you plan
to do, but I've also done it without that.

apt-get -f dist-upgrade

If I were you, I'd try it without the -f before, and if it fails
upgrading, just start it again using the -f switch.

Do I need to take any precaution to execute the aforementioned commands?
I think that I do not have to change to single user mode, etc.

I think you won't have modem access in single user mode.
But after an upgrade I'd maybe reboot the system once. Due to the
glibc-upgrade there might be some problems without rebooting, although
the package tries to execute some work-arounds.


3) From now on, if I want to upgrade to the latest release of potato I
will have to do:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

That's it, but I always use dist-upgrade instead of upgrade. But that's
some kind of religious question I guess :-)
Are there any arguments against using dist-upgrade all the time?

Hope I could help you.

removed it from my development tree for 3.3.6-4.  Besides, the reason for
its existence (to prevent xdm from starting and looping on a broken
XF86Config) has been otherwise addressed for quite some time.  xdm is now
well behaved on a broken config file, or any other factor that keeps it

Re: Hosed my system/fdisk can't read disk drive now.

2000-02-25 Thread Eric Hagglund
John is 100% correct. 

The one thing I would offer, based on my having
single-handedly screwed up probably 100 or more
installs, is that you should walk away from it for a
day or so if you can afford to. Try hard to force
yourself to stay away from the box for at least 24
hours.

Every time I had something like this happen and I
waited, I usually realized later on that there was
something else that I did that was causing the
problem, (ex. a hardware setting in the BIOS that got
changed at the same time as the other change I made
that was the original suspect).

Also, cfdisk is a powerful partitioning tool, but I
believe that the documentation also includes the
disclaimer that it is not a good I idea to substitute
it (esp. the filesystem) for the partitioning tools
that come with the OS you are trying to install.

At any rate, I have made thousands of mistakes
installing Linux and have never permanently damaged my
box. If I can help, let me know.

Good luck,

Eric

 through the ribbon cable; sometimes when you insert
 a power
 cable the pin on the drive pushes its mate out of
 the power
 connector shell, rather than seating itself
 comfortably in the
 socket). If you have a spare ribbon cable, try
 replacing the one
 you're using now (if all else fails, get a known
 good one and do
 that anyway).
 
 If you've re-cabled or re-installed your drives,
 verify the
 jumper settings and try using the problem drive as a
 single
 master: some drives have problems acting as the
 master for some
 slaves, and vice versa.

Re: Hosed my system/fdisk can't read disk drive now.

2000-02-25 Thread Dean Struss


 Hi Kent

  Since its a new computer, why not go to your vendor?  Should have been some
kind of warranty.  Dean



 This is a brand new computer.  Everything was working fine until I
 cfdisked the primary drive.  Then the bios can't detect either of my
 drives.  The only one detected is my cdrom drive.  I've swapped the
 disks around, took the battery out and put it back in and fiddled with
 the cables and such all to no avail.  I just don't get this at all.  One
 person told me that cfdisk could corrupt the bios.  I don't understand
 how but maybe that is what has happened?
 Thanks,
 kent

How to configure the imap package after installation?

2000-02-25 Thread Wojciech Zabolotny
I've installed the imap package on my debian box. However I can't access
my mail folders, located in ~/Mail directory - neither from other debian 
box with fetchmail nor from Win98 box with Netscape. I couldn't find
any info about required further configuration of imap...
How to make my mail folders visible?
In Netscape I can see only ~ and INBOX folders which in fact do not
exist...

Re: Problem installing apache-perl in Frozen

apache-perl doesn't install the directory /etc/apache.  You can
create it yourself, or install the apache package, de-install it, and
install apache-perl.

Well, the answer was RTFM of course. Quoting from README.Debian:

Comments regarding the Package
Here are some known issues.

1.  Default mailbox location

Is now $HOME/mail in accord with Debian policy.  If you don't want this you
can recompile the package to something more to your liking.  Here's how. 
MAKE
SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.  Neither Debian nor I have any
responsibility if things go wrong.

I've changed my folders location to ~/mail, and now imap works fine.
Anyway I'll need to recompile it to enable the IMAP-GSS ;-).

Re: Installing source lyx

2000-02-25 Thread hawk
Micha mentioned,
 I got the latest source for lyx from their site, because I need thw hebrew
 support thats installed there.
 The problem is, can someone tell me how to configure it to the right
 dirextories ( what are they ?) I got the source package for 1.1.4 from
 debian and I tired to copy the configure script from there, but t didn't
 work. I also got the diff, ( how do I apply it? )
 Is there a way that I can easilly package it so it can be later easily
 removed when the newer version comes out as a debian package ? ( I don't
 care if its packaged as 1.1.4, can I switch the sources and keep the diff
 and desc files and jsut pack it up somehow?)

The solution is not to debianize it at all.

Just untar it in /usr/src, cd to the lyx directory, apply the 
patch (I'm not familiar with the particular patch, but usually
something like patch -p1  patchfile), then do a ./configure which 
defaults to installation in /usr/local, a make, and a make install.

If tghe version you wants ever comes out as a .deb, you can then remove
lyx and reLyX from /usr/local/bin, the man pages in /usr/local/man, 
and /usr/local/share/lyx

changing mime handlers

2000-02-25 Thread hawk

Every time some knucklehead sends me a message with an
html component, show tries to fire off netscape to read
the stupid thing.  I've looked high and low in all of the
. files in  ~, in everything with mime in /etc, and
every man page I can think of.  I can't find *anything*
that tells it to use netscape for html.  

If I can't get it to at least ask permission before this, I'd
at least want to switch to lynx.  Better yet, just show me the
text (it's doing this even if the text is first and the 
html is the following package).

Hmm, maybe a script that autobounces html email with a you moron
message . . .

Trouble installing Debian on MVME167

2000-02-25 Thread Jim Ziegler
I am trying to install Debian on an MVME167.
I have downloaded from slink (March 2 version):
 tftplilo
 tftplilo.conf
 linux (for MVME167)
 root.bin (for MVME167)

and moved these to /boot with new names as directed.

I have set up tftp and the MVME167.

When I reset the MVME167 I get the 167bug
prompt.  I have set up tiot. When I do a
nbo it boots ok to the LILO prompt. I
enter i167, then I get

Loading kernel 'linuxMVME167' ...
Loading ramdisk 'rootmvme.bin' ...
Kernel has no bootinfo version info, assuming 1.0
Bootstrap's bootinfo version : 2.0
Kernel's bootinfo version: 1.0
(using backwards compatibility mode)

after which nothing else happens.

What am I doing wrong?

device full messages and lost file contents.

2000-02-25 Thread Christian Dysthe
Hi,

I am running Debian Woody i386. 

Yesterday I had a scary experience. I started getting these device
full, can't save to device messages and several applications crashed.
I could not send mail, I only got these messages.

I rebooted the machine, and when I came back up I noticed that several
config files for the programs that crashed was reduced to 0. Also, all
the WindowMaker config files was 0 and I had to completely redo my
desktop. After looking at this for a while it seemed like all files that
was being written to for the period of time when I got these messages
was reduced to 0.

What might have caused this? Every thing works fine now, and for the
record: My HD is *not* full! :)

TIA
