Proxy, gateway, firewall, ...
Hola debianeros, me gustaria configurar un viejo 386 para compartir en nuestra pequeña red local (4 puestos con win95/98), una conexion a Supercable (operador de cable en Andalucia). En principio nada sofisticado, para empezar me basta con servicios de proxy y firewall, ya que la seguridad de los win es... inexistente, no nos engañemos. La cuestion es que solo dispongo de ese viejo 386, con 4 MB de RAM que no se si podre ampliar, y un disco duro de unos 200 MB. Con estas limitaciones creo que deberia emplear una version de kernel ligera, quizas alguna de las versiones mas antiguas, pero me preocupa que las versiones de los paquetes que pueda emplear no sean todo lo eficientes que debieran, sobre todo en lo que respecta a la seguridad. La potencia del equipo creo que no sera limitante, puesto que no se trata de hacer un uso intensivo de la conexion, solo pretendo que se pueda nevegar a la vez desde un par de equipos, y en un futuro montar un pequeño servidor de ftp y web de acceso restringido. Acepto todo tipo de sugerencias y comentarios, teniendo en cuenta que las prioridades son estabilidad y seguridad. Saludos Juan

RE: gpm/wmaker en potato
Bueno, pues he probado lo de -R con raw y con ps2 y no funciona. A lo sumo el ratón se vuelve loco en las X (cuando mueves un poco el ratón el cursor va de un extremo a otro de la pantalla, abre menús como si pulsases el botón derecho, etc). A mí me pasó esto cuando le puse un protocolo que no era en la configuración de las X.

Aunque,me parece que como no lo instale a través de un cable serie-serie, lo veo muy dificil, porque ese portatil solo tiene disquetera y no me hace mucha gracia pasar un CD a disquetes. Haz una instalación a base de disquetes. Si tu disquetera es de 3.5 y es capaz de leer disquetes a 1.44 Mb entonces deberás generar diez disquetes: lowmem.bin, resc1440.bin, drv1440.bin, base14-1.bin, base14-2.bin, base14-3.bin, base14-4.bin, base14-5.bin, base14-6.bin, y base14-7.bin. La forma de generar estos disquetes es a partir de los ficheros con esos mismos nombres y un programa crear discos a partir de ficheros. Este programa es el rawrite2 para MSDOS o el dd para Linux o Unix. Una vez que tengas instalado y configurado el sistema base, puedes continuar la instalación del resto de paquetes que quieres que formen tu sistema operativo por Internet (método apt del dselect, por ejemplo). En resumen: necesitas un ordenador limpio (el 386) sin MSDOS ni nada instalado (o que si hay algo, no te importe perderlo: con un disco duro tan pequeño lo mejor es tener sólo Linux en ese ordenador), y otro en el que leer la documentación y generar los disquetes. La documentación para instalar Debian en un 386 y superior la puedes encontrar en castellano en http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/i386/install.es.html. Generas los 10 disquetes desde el ordenador gordo, y empiezas arrancando el 386 con el disco lowmem.bin. A partir de ahí es seguir los pasos uno por uno hasta que lo tengas todo en marcha. Y no necesitas CDROM para nada. Por cierto: no me había enterado de que era un portátil. Los portátiles suelen tener hardware especial. En el capítulo 2 del manual de instalación hablan de ello, dicen que puedes consultar la lista de portátiles que funcionan sin problemas con Linux en la página http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/. Yo no he visto en esa lista ningún Toshiba 1800, ¡aunque también es posible que nunca a nadie se le haya ocurrido instalar Linux en ese ordenador!. -- Conrado Badenas [EMAIL PROTECTED] PhD student | Assistant Lecturer Department of Thermodynamics | Department of Optics --- Faculty of Physics.

Re: Problemas con dselect
Hola a todos Al parecer el mio es un problema poco comun , ya que no aparece en ningun grupo de noticia ni FAQ, y habiendo leido todos los manuales de instalacion, dselect, no logro solucionarlo por mis propios medio, asi que se lo dejo a Uds. Estoy tratando de instalar debian-potato desde una particion de dos y booteando desde a. Pude instalar el sistema base pero no logro instalar el resto del sistema. Cuando ingreso a dselect - access - apt - URL y marco la ruta en la que se encuentra potato, aparece una leyenda como la siguiente: Use of uninitilized value at usr/lib/dpkg/methods/apt/setup line 145 146 Unknown access scheme in /mnt/. The available access methods to me are http, ftp, file No se porque no reconoce el directorio donde tengo potato, o si es que tengo que especificar algun directorio o archivo en particular. La cuestión es que he probado con distintos directorios y subdirectorios, pero no he logrado nada. Quizas sea de ayuda saber que he conseguido potato desde internet y los archivos que he bajado son todos los binary-i386 de main, non free y contrib, aparte de los nesesarios para instalar potato desde una particion de dos y bootear de a. Agradecería cualquier ayuda o referencia a la solucion de mi problema.

A little bad press about Debian
A disturbing excerpt from Linux vs. Linux, by Charles Babcock, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Week, http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/zd/2320/tc/2321261.html And yet, such an optimistic outcome is not a sure thing. Minor examples of Linux forks already exist. When Tom Stoddard, database administrator at BFGoodrich's Avionics Division, loaded backup software on company servers in Grand Rapids, Mich., he found an unexpected anomaly. The software operated right off the bat on servers using Caldera, Red Hat and Mandrake installations of Linux. But when he tried to get it to work with a fourth version, one called Debian, the desktop backup software from Legato Systems failed. The technical diagnosis: Debian must have some libraries in a different location than the others, he said, meaning that some functions added by Debian to Linux cannot be retrieved in the same fashion as those added by its rivals. -- Bill Wohler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ.

I need XFree86 3.3.6 in .deb format
I have a S3 Trio3D/2X graphics card, and my release of X is 3.3.2 (enclosed with Debian 2.1 CD #1). This release doesn't work in hi-res modes with my graphics card (VGA mode in 16 colors is impossible!!). I have heard that XFree86 3.3.4 or higher supports the Trio3D/2X chipset. So, I went to the XFree86 web page, but XFree86 3.3.6 is only in .tgz format. If I install this, the installation will skip the Debian installation database!! I need XFree86 3.3.6 in .deb format, or if possible, only the updatedSVGA X server (withTrio3D/2X support) for X 3.3.2 in .deb format. Another minor problem is that KDE 1.1 (enclosed with Debian CD #2), fails to executesome utilities, such as 'kdehelp'. My terminal shows a message saying that cannot load shared library 'libk?'

Problemas con dselect
Hola a todos Al parecer el mio es un problema poco comun , ya que no aparece en ningun grupo de noticia ni FAQ, y habiendo leido todos los manuales de instalacion, dselect, no logro solucionarlo por mis propios medio, asi que se lo dejo a Uds. Estoy tratando de instalar debian-potato desde una particion de dos y booteando desde a. Pude instalar el sistema base pero no logro instalar el resto del sistema. Cuando ingreso a dselect - access - apt - URL y marco la ruta en la que se encuentra potato, aparece una leyenda como la siguiente: Use of uninitilized value at usr/lib/dpkg/methods/apt/setup line 145 146 Unknown access scheme in /mnt/. The available access methods to me are http, ftp, file No se porque no reconoce el directorio donde tengo potato, o si es que tengo que especificar algun directorio o archivo en particular. La cuestión es que he probado con distintos directorios y subdirectorios, pero no he logrado nada. Quizas sea de ayuda saber que he conseguido potato desde internet y los archivos que he bajado son todos los binary-i386 de main, non free y contrib, aparte de los nesesarios para instalar potato desde una particion de dos y bootear de a. Agradecería cualquier ayuda o referencia a la solucion de mi problema.

Re: A little bad press about Debian
Bill Wohler wrote: And yet, such an optimistic outcome is not a sure thing. Minor examples of Linux forks already exist. When Tom Stoddard, database administrator at BFGoodrich's Avionics Division, loaded backup software on company servers in Grand Rapids, Mich., he found an unexpected anomaly. The software operated right off the bat on servers using Caldera, Red Hat and Mandrake installations of Linux. But when he tried to get it to work with a fourth version, one called Debian, the desktop backup software from Legato Systems failed. The technical diagnosis: Debian must have some libraries in a different location than the others, he said, meaning that some functions added by Debian to Linux cannot be retrieved in the same fashion as those added by its rivals. Of course it's difficult to tell without any technical details, but my educated guess would be that the non-free binary-only software they tried to use was linked with -rpath, so it will only work if some library is in a specific place.

The setup: Running potato with latests debs, SVGA server (Matrox G200) I originally configured X with 1152x? as the default resolution. I am running GNOME and have tried various window managers (enlightenment, afterstep, sawmill). If I lower the resolution to 1024 x 768, I get a virtual desktop which is still the old size--in other words, there's always a portion of it which is off-screen. Very annoying. I have even tried editing XF86Config to put my preferred mode first and rebooting, but it doesn't help. The virtual desktop options seem to be in units of screens, not pixels; I have set it for 1x1 screens. This is weird: the fact that the desktop scrolls means that somebody knows the real size of my screen. But I can't get it to use that size all the way through. Also, xvidtune doesn't produce a very good fit for my card/screen. At 1024x768 I get a jump from an image significantly smaller than the video screen (ie. lots of dark area on the border) to one which is too large.

Re: ssh loading at startup
The symlinks are links to your script that decide when the script should
be started (/etc/init.d/script start and stop). You can create symlinks
with 'ln -s ORIGINAL SCRIPT LINK', more info is in /usr/doc/sysvinit.

Ghostscript 6.01 in debian?
Hi All, I hoped that the new potato will include the newest ghostscript 6.xx . However even in the non-free section there is still only old 5.50 available. AFAIK the newest ghostscript fixes a lot of problems with PDF generation (eg. The conversion of Xfig generation EPS into PDF's ready for inluding in pdflatex documents). So I think I'll need to debianize it for myself... Does anybody has some experiences in debianizing of gs? -- TIA Wojciech Zabolotny [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Apps that depend on glibc2.0 ? (potato/woody)
Hi all, I'm sure this must have been discussed before but I haven't been able to dig it up from the mailing list archives or dejanews. I'm using several machines, some with potato, some with woody. I need to install a free (as in gratis) f90 compiler, which needs glibc2.0 and won't work with glibc2.1. Other people with Suse or RedHat have reported the same problem and they have fixed it installing compatibility packages containing glibc2.0. Do we have such compatibility packages for Debian? If not, how could one install slink's glibc2.0 in a non-obstrusive way? FWIW, the compiler is F (www.uni-comp.com/imagine1), and the error is an undefined reference: /usr/local/lib/F/libf90.a(open.o): In function `__NAGf90_open': open.o(.text+0xc77): undefined reference to `_fxstat' -- Jose
Re: Making the Windows key work
Can someone explain (or point me to the correct documentation for) the procedure for making the Windows key pop up the start menu for the kde, fvwm or icewm desktops? I succeeded in making the 'windows'-keys useful for accents (like é,ê,ï) with some simple xmodmap lines (I can mail them if you want, I don't have them here right now. At least CC me since I can't read _all_ the mail in the list). However, I haven't been able to let the Windows key (or any other key apart from F11, which does this always) bring up the tasklist (I use WindowMaker). Arnout Engelen [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: printer
I use printtool, it comes with RedHat, is simple to use, and there is a deb package available. Run 'dselect' as root and press '/' (no quotes:-) and type 'printtool' as your searching criteria. You also should install a package 'mpage', you can search for and install it the same way you searched and installed printtool. Install the packages and then run 'printtool' as root in X. You should be able to get it from there...there are various filters that you can select, just find one that best matches your environment. There are other ways to configure a printer, but printtool works for me. Good Luck Dave Heistand Systems Analyst Boston University

Initial console
Hi Di Ho, all linux lovers :) i stumble over a very wierd error, had My lovely debian 2214 up and running, started to ftp som files down to my HD. switched over to a new console (alt F2) tried to login, but no luck. I came to the login: entered root asked for password, i enetered password then it kind of hung, nothing more happened. tried anotehr console , same thing, and tried the 3rd, same thing. i thougt ok what da heck, lets reboot. before i reboted i change in inetd.conf so the Telnet deamon should be activated, cause i had deactivated it before. When i rebooted, and got to the point after the kernel memory is freed and after teh disks are check it says Warning Unable to open Initial console then it reboots .. what means with this and what can i do to fix it.. i cant insert the rescue disk and typ rescue root=/dev/hda1 cause the same thing will happend but i can startup on the rescue disk as if i should make a new install and acitvate the old root partition, so i can check some in it. Anyone has a good idea or guess what this can be . regards Uffe

Permissions look okay, though. are you sure, that the permissions are right? remember, that apache runs as wwwrun or something like that (at least on suse ...)? are all host which should be (including the localhost) marked as allowed in the acl?

Not in this case, no, though in general it's a really useful tool.
It's usually a bad idea to put spaces in filenames, though (or other
special characters like * and '). While they can normally be made to
work, I usually find that they only cause me problems later on. For
instance, you start having to use 'find -print0 | xargs -0' instead of
the more convenient forms.
