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...

I then attempted to install W98 and got the message no HD found. I went into the bios setup and the disk can't be detected. I switched it to auto but no improvement. I used the Slink installation cd again and found I get the message FATAL ERROR: Cannot read disk drive Press any key to exit fdisk. I have no installation disks for this HD. It is the HD that came with the system. What the heck do I do now? You did use something to resize that win98 partition with besides cfdisk, right? No I didn't. Ouch. Did you have anything on the disk initially, or not? The way I read your post (portions deleted), you didn't. I had stuff on the disk but I meant to wipe it clean. What my problem seems to be coming down to is my computer will no longer auto detect my HD's. I had one HD (primary) with Windows 98 and (secondary) with Slink. Now neither of my HD's are detected. I went into the bios settings and selected drive auto detect and it shows nothing is there. I manually set them to auto and still nothing is seen. I just don't understand how creating a new partition valid in the eyes of windows or not prevents my bios from detecting that there are HD's 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.

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.

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.

One person told me that cfdisk could corrupt the bios. I don't understand how but maybe that is what has happened? 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...

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. Tobias

I've already 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 from starting properly. -- G.

redialing ppp on busy
How do I get ppp to redial on BUSY? Do I use the chat script? I read something about chat returning an error code of 4 on the chat man page, but I wouldn't know what to do with it! Any ideas?
Re: Hosed my system/fdisk can't read disk drive now.
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.

I tried using fdisk under dos but it wouldn't let me delete the current partition so I used the Slink installation disk and cfdisk to partition my HD. I cut the disk in half and added one partition Win95 FAT32 (LBA) which was what it was before except that it took up the whole disk. I marked it as bootable. I then attempted to install W98 and got the message no HD found. I went into the bios setup and the disk can't be detected. I switched it to auto but no improvement. I used the Slink installation cd again and found I get the message FATAL ERROR: Cannot read disk drive Press any key to exit fdisk. I have no installation disks for this HD. It is the HD that came with the system. What the heck do I do now? You did use something to resize that win98 partition with besides cfdisk, right? No I didn't. Ouch. Did you have anything on the disk initially, or not? The way I read your post (portions deleted), you didn't. I had stuff on the disk but I meant to wipe it clean. What my problem seems to be coming down to is my computer will no longer auto detect my HD's. I had one HD (primary) with Windows 98 and (secondary) with Slink. Now neither of my HD's are detected. I went into the bios settings and selected drive auto detect and it shows nothing is there. I manually set them to auto and still nothing is seen. I just don't understand how creating a new partition valid in the eyes of windows or not prevents my bios from detecting that there are HD's 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.

Re: Hosed my system/fdisk can't read disk drive now.
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 -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

How to configure the imap package after installation?
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.

Re: Installing source lyx
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 hawk
changing mime handlers
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 . . . hawk
Trouble installing Debian on MVME167
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' ...

device full messages and lost file contents.
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 -- Regards, Christian Dysthe E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://oddbird.dyndns.org ICQ 3945810 eFax/Voicemail: 1-208-248-9634 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux Clones are people two
