Re: aceleracion con Voodoo 3
Yo tb tengo una V3 y me va a la prefeccion... Lo que pasa es que en lugar de coger los paquetes de 3Dfx con el source me bajé los de binarios de la Woody, ya que actualizo frecuentemente por APT. No he tenido que configurar nada para que funcione, pero te puedo aclarar 2 cosas: 1) Por nueva arquitectura de drivers y cosas de esas, los programas Glide para Linux solo se pueden ejecutar desde las X, por eso que te de errores si lo ejecutas desde consola. Si lo ejecutas desde X la salida que obtienes es la buena, pero también deberias ver la famosa pantalla azul. 2) En cuanto a instalar Glide2x o Glide3x, instala solo 1, en la mayoria de los casos dara mas buenos resultados. (o al menos eso tengo entendido). También está el tema de compilar elmodulo del 3dfx-device o algo asi. La primera vez que compile me dio problemas (era la verion bajada de 3Dfx) pero luego me baje la version que viene con la woody y otra vez sin problemas... Asi que casi que te recomiendo que cojas los paquetes con apt. Son todos los que ponga algo de Glide (o casi todos) y sus dependencias. No te digo los nombre pq ahora mismo estoy en win y no me acuerdo exactamente. Tb te recomiendo instalar, ya que pones glide, las Mesa para Glide (mesag3-glide2[VERSION-BUILD-etc...].deb) Cuando este en linux si me acuerdo ya te mirare los nombres de los paquetes.

RE: VPNs
-Mensaje original- De: Angel Carrasco [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: miércoles 1 de marzo de 2000 18:29 Para: debian-user-spanish@lists.debian.org Asunto: VPNs Hola a todos, Tengo que conectar dos oficinas que conectan a Internet usando Debian como software para hacer de router. En un tengo el rango 192.168.2.0 y en la otra 192.168.8.0. Tengo dos IP fijas dadas por mi servidor. Pero no tengo ni idea como empezar para hacer una VPN. En un principio sé que debo montar un tunel entre ambos con un protocolo de encriptación. Pero esto sólo lo sé a nivel teoríco. Alguien me podría comentar experiencias? Sé que hay soft de VPN para linux y cuando lo vi me pareció muy potente (soportaba varias de encriptaciones fuertes). Te diría cómo se llama y tal, pero ahora mismo Bulmita ha hecatombizado y no tengo el link a mano. La teoría es la que tú dices: tienes varias redes de ordenadores físicamente separadas y las unes mediante una tercera red global insegura (internet, por ejemplo). Lo que hace el soft normalmente es añadir un protocolo de línea seguro en la salida por ppp (así como tienes el protocolo de línea bsd_comp para comprimir, puedes añadir encima cualquier disciplina de línea que quieras), luego basta con que pongas el ppp como gateway predeterminado, poniendo la dirección IP del gateway de la otra red. Supongo que si tienes la red dividida en 3 o más cachos, tendrás que montar una especie de anillo de gateways (a la hora de definir las rutas con el route, de una a otra subred), para que los datos lleguen a todos los sitios. O bien definir rangos de direcciones privadas distintas para cada subred (que es lo que tienes tú, según parece con el x.x.2.0 y el x.x.8.0) y así poder enviar directamente los datos a un gateway o a otro de las otras subredes. Busca VPN en freshmeat y encontrarás software de vpn para linux. Experiencias ninguna, yo no lo he probado O:) Un saludo. Angel Antonio Tejada Lacaci [EMAIL PROTECTED] Depto.

No, por eso te decia que en tu caso eso te da igual. En tu caso tendrias que poner el mbr en el MBR del hda, configurado para que arranque particiones de hdb. Lo malo es que mbr todavia no es tan inteligente como para poder elegir particiones de mas de un disco. (cosa normal porque es un programa de unos 446 bytes!) En definitiva, mbr le viene bien a cualquiera que tenga mas de un SO bootable en el mismo HD.

Problemas con SCSI y expo(s)-linux

He leído la página de HP al respecto, los howtos, la documentación del kernel, he revisado la instalación y he escrito a esta lista. Además de intentar consultar a HP (la documentación que acompaña a la unidad sólo se refiere a los windowses y Netware), ¿dónde puedo buscar ayuda? ¿Es usual consultar a los desarrolladores estos aspectos? ¿Alguién ha tenido alguna vez un problema con unidades de cinta SCSI? 2. Este mes y el que viene se celebran expo-linux y linux-expo. ¿Alguien sabe qué carácter tienen una y otra? Me da en la nariz que la primera (¿exnux-lipo? ¿lip-exnux?) es más comercial y la segunda más para usuarios. Para un aficionado, con ganas de ser usuario corporativo, ¿cuál recomendaríais?

I was wondering if I could somehow get the window-manager choices again thru gnome. While this doesn't seem to be well documented, in /etc/gnome there are two files default.session and default.wm.

ISDN cards, I-modems
Hello everyone, I wonder if I could ask your advise? I have to install a machine in our Hongkong warehouse to connect into the UK via dial up over ISDN. I intend to use Slink on a 486/PI type machine at the Hongkong end, the UK end already has dial up via ISDN into a Windoze RAS server. My question is what is the best ISDN card to purchase for a Debian Slink installation?. I have used I-Modems before but one has to be careful that the serial ports on the receiving equipment can handle 115 kbps otherwise you cannot dual up the two 64k lines. Does anyone know which manufactures supply ISDN adapters with support for Linux? Also if someone could recommend one that they are already using that is available in the UK (I know Germany is very strong on ISDN) I would be most grateful.

Problem with potato installation, Where can I find the description of kernel's boot parameters?
Hi All, I need to block the autodetection (at the boot time) of device located at 0x280 , but without blocking possibility of loading the module with this iobase. The problem is that the WD8003 netcard is located there, which locks the system during the startup of potatos installation kernel (probably the SCSI driver looks there for the controller). When I use reserve=0x380,0x20, I can't load the module later, cause these IO locations are still reserved. Is there any noscan or noauto option for temporarly locking of the particular IO locations only for boot time? -- TIA Wojciech M.

Re: Dual Ethernet Cards
Hi ! I don't know, if this will help you ... I had some problem with two ethernet cards. (100Mbit PCI and NE2000 ISA, but no tulip ...). Then I compiled the PCI card into the kernel and the ne2000 as module and everything was O.K. ciao, Ralf.
Update this morning killed local login.
Greets ppl, I did an apt-get dist-upgrade this morning, and after that I can no longer log in to the console. I had just rebooted after the update, and was watching the kernel boot messages, when I saw something strange pop up. It was similar to the following (going from memory) Checking for valid XFree86 configuration file.unable to check! Not starting KDM Windows Manager I then got a normal non X login console screen, but no matter what username and password I use, I get invalid login. Luckily my machine is on a cable network and I was able to ssh in from work, so the machine is accepting remote passwords, just not console logins. Since I am sshing in I have not tried starting X remotely yet, wanted to see if anyone had any ideas before I muck around too much.

Re: Update this morning killed local login.
I also had some bizarre behaviour last night after an update on a potato machine. Unlike your situation, everything boots fine and I can log in on X, but I only get a console. After poking around for a little while I figure that the problem is probably a switch to use the x-window-manager utility and the fact that my default window manager (afterstep) is not listed in my alternatives directory. Can anyone confirm that the switch was made? I was always getting a message saying that the old utility was about to become obsolete...is this now the case? ..and/or are these two problems related?

Printers in Linux
I want to buy a (not to expensive color) printer which will be used on a Linux-only-box, and I wonder of any of you has some good ideas about it. I've looked around, among others at www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/printer_list.cgi, but as far as I can see the only printer that is sold in The Netherlands which works perfectly is the HP 610C . But for 30 US$ more, I have a HP 710 C which should print two times faster. But according to the webpage you need a special program pbm2ppa and you can't print plain text. This problem is with almost all the printers. What does this mean, that everything in ASCII you want to print is automaticaly converted to DVI/PS and you won't notice the difference, except that cat file /dev/lp1 maybe doesn't work? The printers I've seen here in Holland are, a.o. HP 610, 710, 720, 815, 840, 880 Epson 460, 660, 760 Canon 2000, 3000, 6100 I can't find any of the printers in magicfilter and apsfilter. Then another question, someone will come here with a laptop and want to take files from my Linux-box to his windows98-laptop. Does someone know a good webpage/HOWTO how to do that, according to what I've seen it's done with a null-modem. I don't have time to Trial Error with the laptop, so a specific HOWTO would be appreciated. As far as I found out it should be something with pppd with the option local. Greetings, Sander

Xdmcp with gdm problems
I'm having a rather serious error today. I provide X desktops to thin clients on my network. They use gdm to log in and have been successful in doing so until very recently. Two days ago, I added a new harddrive to the system and moved files over to it using the 'find mounted source -mount -print | cpio -p -v mounted target' command. Everything seemed to work fine, so I left Georgia and went back home to Minnesota. The following day, everything seemed to work just fine. However, when I get into the office this morning, one of the users reported to me that she could not log in to her workstation. So, on to debugging... I tried to start a remote X desktop from the XDM server in question. It failed, miserably. I checked the logs (below) for any clues, but couldn't find any -- I'm fairly new to the details of XDMCP, etc. The only thing I can think about may be a possible permissions problem on the part of the file system (as I forgot to add the preserve ownership flag in the cpio string). I've tried uninstalling (and purging) the gdm package multiple times, but that does not fix the problem. (My reason for doing this would be to ensure that the permissions of the gdm files in the least would be correct.) So, my question to you is, Can you help me? The following is a log of what I felt may be important to you. This was generated using the debug flag enabled and connecting with a remote desktop from our VPN.

Library version
Hi all, I'm working on a project that is encountering some problems with libstdc++ versioning. Some vendor-supplied libraries are linked against a certain version of libstdc++ (libstdc++.so.2.8). Well, my system has these libs: libstdc++-2-libc6.0-1-2.9.0 libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0 libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0 libstdc++.so.2.7.2.8 libstdc++.so.2.8.0 libstdc++.so.2.9 And various links to them. Now, if I compile normally, the compile works fine, but when I run it, it crashes immediately in ofstream() from libstdc++.so.2.8. I think this is because the vendor libs need the older version, but the compiler is linking in the later version and we get a library mis-match. So, my question is: How can I specify which version of the libstdc++ libraries to use?

problem mounting NT share
My university just switched from Novell servers to NT. There are two servers containing discs to which I have access. One of them gave me no trouble at all. I used this command to mount the shared drive: smbmount //server1/shared /mountpoint. However, I could not get the drive on the other server mounted. My username and password are identical for both, and I can mount both easily from Windows98. The sysadmin knows nothing of linux, but did suggest one possible difference between the two servers that might be causing the problem. He said the first server, which I don't have trouble with, is a domain hosted server, or something like that. While the one that I am having trouble with is a stand alone server, or something like that. Sorry, but I know absolutely nothing about Windows NT. He also suggested that I explicitly pass my username and that I use GROUPNAME/USERNAME as my username rather then simply USERNAME. That didn't work, but I thought it might give you a better idea of what he thinks the problem is. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Brian J.

adding parallell ports
Hi, probably a general question, but I have an ISA card with a parallell port on it. Do I just add it to my configuration and will Debian 2.2 recognize it (there are jumpers on it, I will set the correctly)? Or is something more needed? -- Bruno Van de Casteele [EMAIL PROTECTED] N.P.

If so, is it really worth using a commercial x server or can I tweak xfree86 and get equal if not comprable performance. I've tested LX5.03 - Xig's Accelerated X for laptops on my old Toshiba w/ ChipsTechnologies chipsets. Being a poor student I tested it for a couple a hours, restarting X every 10 minutes (stupid time-limit in the demo). I've gotta say it blew me away. Running enlightenment went really smooth, for once. I've heard the performance-gain should be about 10% - on my machine that was exceeded by far. I guess the difference is more noticable in low-end machines. You should check it out for yourself. The demo is very easy to install and remove over Debian.

Re: Update this morning killed local login.
** On Mar 02, Todd Suess scribbled: Greets ppl, I did an apt-get dist-upgrade this morning, and after that I can no longer log in to the console. I had just rebooted after the update, and was watching the kernel boot messages, when I saw something strange pop up. It was similar to the following (going from memory) Checking for valid XFree86 configuration file.unable to check! Not starting KDM Windows Manager I then got a normal non X login console screen, but no matter what I got that several times as well. It turned out that the keyboard was initialized in a way that some keys (apparently at random) were swapped - e.g. q/a, y/z. At first I thought the problem was that I selected a Polish keyboard (Poland has two keyboard layouts - one official and practically not used :), and the other one programmers. The official one uses the qwertz layout while the other the standard US one), but the keys were swapped each time differently. It was enough for me to login remotely, su to root and reinitialize the keyboard. To see whether it is your problem - just type the password as a login name and see whether all characters are correct. I failed to find where the problem lied since the keyboard layout initialized by console-tools worked OK when the keyboard was reinitialized. hope that helps, marek pgpLTJlFOug91.pgp Description: PGP signature
Network problems after compile of 2.2.14 kernel
Hello, I hope this is the right area to ask this question. I have a system I plan to use as a firewall eventually. Currently I am trying to get the networking (using two 3C509 network cards) to work. Originally my system was using the 2.0.36 kernel and everything seem to work fine. eth0 connected to our internal network and eth1 connected to the internet. I upgraded my system to the (frozen) distribution and downloaded the 2.2.14 kernel source. After compiling and installing the kernel and modules my system only saw one network card (eth0) and this connection doesn't work. I added the alias lines shown below to the /etc/modules.conf file. alias eth0 3c509 alias eth1 3c509 With these two lines (after a reboot) I see three lines refering to ethX adapters in the /var/log/syslog (eth0, eth1, eth2). eth0 and eth1 are for the exact same card (eth0 doesn't work but eth1 does for my internal network). eth2 works for the internet connection. NOTE: I also noticed that the eth0 line is generated at a different point on the starting process! What is going on here? How do I get rid of the first eth0 that doesn't work? Is there some new process for configuring network cards in this new Kernel? Thanks for your time! Doug Thistlethwaite
upgrade of libc6 fails

Re: Update this morning killed local login
I have what sounds like a the same problem as the original author. It looks like xfree86-common, kde, and kdebase (among others) were updated when I ran apt-get this morning on my potato box. kdm now fails to start, because /etc/init.d/kdm can't find /usr/sbin/parse-xf86config. Was this utility moved to another package? On a slink box, it looks like it was in xserver-common. The workaround I found is to disable the check in /etc/X11/kdm/kdm.options by commenting out the check-local-xserver line. On a perhaps related note, xauth is complaining now, too. When I use ssh to login to localhost as root, I get: /usr/bin/X11/xauth: unable to open tmp file /tmp/XauthWI1726-n /usr/bin/X11/xauth: unable to write authority file /tmp/XauthWI1726-n ...but: # ls -l /tmp/XauthWI1726-n -rw---1 root root0 Mar 2 10:41 /tmp/XauthWI1726-n -- Tres Hofmeister [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rap.ucar.edu/~tres/ Research Applications Program, National Center for Atmospheric Research
Re: Network problems after compile of 2.2.14 kernel
Read over the Linux Network Administrators Guide, you need to pass some parameters to the kernel to let it know that it needs to look for 2 cards. The NAG is kinda old, but that piece of it still applies: http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/nag/nag.html For instance, I have a firewall w 2 3c503 cards in it. I had to add the following line to lilo.conf: append=ether=5,0x310,0,0,eth0 ether=9,0x300,0,0,eth1 Good Luck! -- Jeff On Thu, 2 Mar 2000, Doug wrote: Hello, I hope this is the right area to ask this question.

Re: Network problems after compile of 2.2.14 kernel
The instructions I sent were for drivers compiled into the kernel. If you are using modules, you'll have to do something like in the Ethernet howto, in particular, you'll prob. have to pass the IO port and IRQ... http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-3.html On Thu, 2 Mar 2000, Doug wrote: Hello, I hope this is the right area to ask this question.

Re: problem mounting NT share
Here is how I do it: smbmount-2.1.x //machine/drive -U username -W networkname -c 'mount /mntpoint -u 1000 -g 1000' My university is onu.edu so for network name I use onu. This works. There may be other ways of getting it to work too. The W is for the workgroup. You will have to know what the workgroup is.

.pfb .pfm font files
I have an archive of ps fonts from back in 1996. They have pfb and pfm extensions (for each font name there is a pair of files like foo.pfm and foo.pfb). Are these fonts usable with X? I'd imagine they were, because I have a directory /usr/lib/X11/fonts/freefont with a bunch of .pfb fonts. If yes, how do I create fonts.dir for them? `mkfontdir' expects pcf, cnf, or bfd extensions.
