No sé como hacer para reinstalar el LILO pero si recuerdas cuando instalaste el linux, seguramente el programa de instalación te haya preguntado dónde quieres instalar el LILO, si en el MBR o en el superblock de la partición de linux. La segunda opción es la correcta. La partición de linux debe ser booteable para que funcione, yo nunca lo vi funcionando así, pero cuando estuve averiguando con la gente de on-track que vende un software para esto, me dijeron que la forma de hacerlo era esa. *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 28/03/00 at 08:38 Arregui-García, Javier wrote: Vale, en cuanto lo consiga, te lo mando a tu correo.

Re: default keymap y root
Kaixo David Muriel!!! Al actualizar hace poco a potato, instalé el paquete console-tools y, según parece, no me configuró el teclado en español. Bueno, hasta ahí no pasa nada, lo configuro con kbdconfig y ya está. El problema es que sólo parece funcionar cuando entro como usuario, y no como root. Si entro como usuario, funcionan todas las teclas, la ñ, acentos, ... Si entro como root, ni la ñ ni los acentos funcionan en la consola (si entro en el emacs si funcionan). He probado cambiando la variable LANG y no pasa nada. No es que necesite utilizarlo ahora mismo, pero me fastidiaría bastante el necesitarlo y no poder usarlo. Yo tengo un problema parecido.. Tengo actualizado Potato hasta hace unas horas.. Bien. tanto como usuario como root veo todo, pero cuando hago telnet a otro Debian (no importa si es Slink o Potato) ya no veo nada q a i m s z Pero si desde un Slink hago telnet a mi Potato si veo tildes y demas Que puede ser?? a alguno os pasa esto??

Heimdal in more than one host...
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 My home network currently has 3 Debian machines (running frozen potato) and I've been trying to setup Heimdal's (version 0.2l-7) Kerberos 5 realm to work between those machines. Once I figured out that heimdal's packages don't create correct /etc/krb5.conf file for me, it was relatively painless to get everything working within KDC machine. However once I wanted to add more hosts into realm, I found myself in trouble, because I was unable to figure out how I am supposed to get correct /etc/krb5.keytab files to non-KDC machines. KDC machine has all things nicely, because I gave add host/some.thing in KDC machine. After surfing around in web and trying to modify bits and pieces that I found from there, I started to wonder if I would have to give myself get priviledges in /var/lib/heimdal-kdc/kadm5.acl, so that I would be able to get host keys, when using ktutils and kadmin from remote machines. Even though that kadm5.acl is appearantly supposed to be file, where you simply can't do things in wrong way (you just add name and wanted priviledges), it didn't seem to work for me... (or at least kadmin kept on telling me that I have none privileges, when I was trying to use it with anything else than kadmin -l in KDC host) Any advices from Kerberos users on how to make those keytab tables so that they would be correctly setup between KDC and other hosts? - -- Juha Ylitalo [EMAIL PROTECTED]work e-mail UPS 3/4 B427 http://wwwinhel.ntc.nokia.com/~jylitalo work www +358 40 562 6152 http://www.iki.fi/~jylitalo public www -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine iD8DBQE43+nts9o7tOc1jEMRAoOBAJ4hC5lajtNU81837Q36eJIO9PX2DwCfVBkd RHLiXwyyu/qymV+7mCQXi8Q= =2Tnq -END PGP SIGNATURE-

Re: Error compiling kdenetwork-1.1.2
On Mon, 27 Mar 2000, you wrote: Why don't you use the kde debs instead of compiling everything by hand? Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://kde.tdyc.com slink kde contrib rkrusty You can add kdenetwork but it will probably complain as you've not installed the debs of the other parts of kde it depends on. Doing-it-yourself has the side effect of making removal a touch trickier than it might be. Jonathan Agreed, removal is more difficult. I did instal the debs on my initial system install. I chose purge and to compile this time primarily for two reasons: 1. I'm running on a laptop with a 1.3 Gb hard drive and I want the system as lean as possible. By compiling, I can optimize for a pentium and eliminate the debug/exceptions code. Smaller footprint. 2. Despite what the FSH says, logic says put kde in /opt/kde. (I know, I've heard the arguments for and against.) Simply put, (and quoting D. Powell in Practical KDE, no argument beats the ability to do a simple backup of the windowing system when it's in /opt/kde). So, the compile lets me configure for an /opt/kde install. -- Bill Caskey
Re: locate warning . . . ?
locate: warning: database `/var/lib/locate/locatedb' is more than 8 days old Any ideas about what this means? It means what it says, the database is more than 8 days old. When you do 'updatedb' it indexes your filesystems and puts that info in /var/lib/locate/locatedb' to speed up the search. You should update that database every few days to make sure all files are in it. Bart Ps I have my updatedb in crontab, so that i don't have to bother about it. It updates every monday at 10.

You are going to format these partitions, and so you can't put the installation medium on them if you are going to format them.

Bandwidth Limiting ftpd?
Does anyone know of an FTPD for debian that supports limiting upstream/downstream bandwidth on either a system wide or (preferred) user/group basis? I am currently using a cable modem with a very high downstream rate, but an upstream rate limited to 128k, so if I have several users logged in download at 5k/sec, it seriously limits my downstream speed because the return packets cannot go as fast as the downstream would like them to. Most of my users download overnight, so if I limited them to 3k/sec, and most of the time I have at most 2 ppl downloading at the same time, that would still leave me with upstream bandwidth to play with.

Yup. What 'rm -d' is supposed to do actually requires a bit of
not-necessarily-useful explanation; the end result is that it's
something that even as root you wouldn't want to do. The correct
magic is 'rm -r', which (r)ecursively deletes all directories and
files in and under the named directory (or file).
See also the info page ('info rm') for more information. (Linux
doesn't support unlink()ing directories, and running 'fsck' every time
you removed a directory would get to be a real pain *real* quickly.)

Then I 'su' to that user and remove the files: su - cd foo/.. chmod -R nobody.nobody foo ls -l# Did you do what you meant to do? su nobody rm -rf foo User 'nobody' should have minimal permissions, and shouldn't be able to hurt anything significant on the system.

Your X configuration is working. You aren't running any X clients (programs which run under X Windows). What you see is the default X background and cursor.

From your X session: altctrlF1 # You are now at virtual console 1. Presumably this is where you # launched X from, if not, log in as the same user your X session is # running from. If you have another console session, you should be # able to find it by pressing ctrlF[2-6] -- the Control key, # and any of function keys 2-6. xterm -display :1# launches an xterm window. ctrlF7# should bring you back to your X session.

Re: locate warning . . . ?
There have been several reports of similar problems, most of which appear to be associated with anacron, an occasional jobs schedular similar to cron. I had the problem myself on two boxes. Apparently one or more of the scripts in /etc/cron.daily was bugging out when run under anacron -- though I have no clear understanding why this should be, as both anacron and cron run run-parts with the same arguments. Other symptoms you may want to check for are one or more hanging anacron processes, and/or zombie processes related to your /etc/cron.daily scripts. The fix in my case was to remove the anacron package, as both the affected systems are up 24/7. While cron will run the scripts in /etc/cron.(daily|weekly|monthly), you may miss a cycle if your system is down when the job would normally have run.

Screensaver Warning
To anyone who is using Linux in a sensitive environment, and who use the xscreensaver, I would strongly suggest that they disable the programme webcollage to avoid embarrasment. I have just returned to my office to find an extremely graphic picture on my screen. Fortunately there was no-one else with me, or I might have had some difficult explaining to do. The webcollage screensaver programme was included in the list of options by default when I installed xscreensaver. It wanders the web at random hunting pictures which it then displays on the screen. In this case it had obviously wandered into a hardcore porn site. As I am one of the system administrators who have to !discourage! our students from visiting such sites I have rapidly switched this one off. I suppose that this means that some folk will just switch off all the other screensaver programmes and wait to see what turns up. Ho Hum.

Re: Error compiling kdenetwork-1.1.2
I'm not recompiling the entire system. I recompiled the kernel (optimized for pentium and reduced the kernel from 700+ to 433 [no scsi devices]). I'm fairly certain the Debian KDE binaries are compiled to the lowest common denominator (386, someone correct me if I'm wrong) and the binaries generally include debug and exceptions code). I'm compiling the generic source code downloaded from one of the KDE mirror sites (bz2). The compile isn't that bad, on my 100 MHz pentium with 40 Mb RAM, the modules take anwhere from 30 minutes to an hour each. Note that I'm using the O2 and -mpentium flags which does slow compiling but results in a more optimized binary. I've asked myself the same question about taking full advantage of available hardware.

A more meaningful error message, other than simply that the failed to extract would be helpful. 2. I had somehow put the wrong resc1440.bin image onto the floppy and it didn't contain the program to extract the .tgz tarred and gnu-zipped base system.

Is this normal and just undocumented? Or is it documented somewhere... or is it a bug? I was having some trouble getting quotas to work and after some fiddling I discovered the following behavior. If I have the following line in my /etc/fstab everything is fine: /dev/hda2 /ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro,usrquota0 1 But previously I had been using this: /dev/hda2 /ext2 defaults,usrquota,errors=remount-ro0 1 The lines are the same except for the order of the last two mount options. Well, if I use the second method, instead of creating /quota.user and storing quota information in that file, quotacheck writes the file into remount-ro (a file with that name) into my current directory! bug #46610 its fixed in the current potato quota. (or so the BTS says) another solution is to set the error behaviour in the superblock and remove the mount option, i did this because for some reason the `errors=remount,ro' was showing up twice in mount, which i thought was ugly ;-) drop down to single user mode, umount all filesystems, remount / readonly, run: tune2fs -e remount-ro /dev/hda? -- your root partition. your probably better off rebooting at this point. you can then remove the errors=remount-ro from your fstab file. OK it does seem that the quota utils are thinking the =remount-ro is an argument, and they should not be doing this. It also does this on a Red Hat 6.0 system I tried (as well as the Slack 7 as I've mentioned). Should this be reported as a bug to the author/maintainer? already done, already fixed. quota 2.0 is alot better from what i have heard, but not done yet and as a result not in potato.

Kernel-package no longer in Potato?
Hi Debians I guess the header says it. In slink there's a (newbie-)convenient kernel-package, which I can't seem to find in the frozen potato-ftp... Regards Vitux -- Death comes to us in various guises, swiftly changing as a baby's mood... Debian GNU/Linux Micro$loth-free Zone
Debian -vs- Win95?
We have bought a PC (AMD K7 Athlon with Hewlett-Packard CD recorder) to act as a server allowing people to copy their data on this server and record their CDs. We also want to attach our fax to this server and use it as a printer from other PCs in the net. Should I, Instal Windows 9x (easy to install and the software for the HP recorder will probably work under Windows) or Install Debian with samba, mgetty-fax and cdrecord. (I have never configured none of this applications.) ? If I install Debian everything should work fine, otherwise my colleagues will ask me to install Windows. -- .'/,-Y ~-.

Re: Corel WP: missing libXpm.so.4
Yes, you need to install it through apt. I think it's called xlib.so.4 or something like that. Scroll through in dselect and you will find it. Install and all will be well.
