tostando cds
Amigos, Estoy recien empezando en esto de tostar cds. He estado tratando haciendo algunas pruebas con un cd regrabable. Los pasos de grabacion parecen ir de lo mas bien, se enciende el led del laser y todo, pero cuando trato de leer el cd, nada de nada. Tengo una hp 7200 externa, conectada a la paralela. Lo ultimo que hice fue copiar un cd de audio. Primero extraje las pistas al disco duro y luego las pase a un cd regrabable (para no gastar tanto arruinando cds virgenes). Luego, al ponerlo en un cdplayer o en el lector de cd, algo antiguo debo decir, me alega que no hay ningun disco. Lo extra~o es que si extraigo las pistas del cd tostado, con el mismo metodo que use en el original, o sea usando la tostadora, funciona de lo mas bien, y suena la musica al pasarlo por la tarjeta. La pregunta es, tienen algun problema los cdplayers o lectores antiguos con los cds regrabables?. Antes de ponerme a quemar cds virgenes me gustaria saber si a lo mejor a eso se debe al presente fracaso. Gracias por la ayuda. Blu.

En este caso puedes probar a ejecutar el comando make (si hay un makefile en el directorio te funcionará).

Re: tostando cds
Por el sistema que se usa al almacenar los datos en un cd regrabable, ya que lo que se hace es ligeramente distinto que cuando se graba un cd normal, los lectores mas antiguos no reconocen los discos regrabables, asi que seguramente sera eso.

Re: Diferenças nos mapas de teclado
O mapa da Conectiva é a saida do dumpkeys o que deixa o mapa muito maior. Faça o testes: Pegue o mapa que enviei, carregue-o e digite dumpkeys, você terá o código de todas as teclas. O padrão que está sendo usado por Yann Dirson é este agora, o mapa original ao invés do dumpkeys, isto diminui o tamanho dos mapas e consequentemente do pacote. Falando nisso, o pacote com a correção do mapa ABNT2 e o novo mapa de teclados para teclados EUA está em incoming (o que um bug com severity important faz...). Em breve o sistema de instalação terá suporte completo a todos os mapas de teclado de Brasil/Portugal.

Alteração do tamanho das fontes no X
Instalei a Potato em um computador que usa o Modo de video 640x480 (o monitor somente suporta esta resolução) e as fontes dos menus dos programas, barras de ferramenta aparecem em um tamanho muito maior que o X da Slink. Verifiquei nos how-tos XWindow-user, XF86-inside, e um outro sobre XFree que não me lembro o nome agora e não encontrei nada a respeito de onde modificar o tamanho padrão das fontes em menus, barras, etc. Gostaria que me indicassem onde modificar para corrigir o tamanho neste monitor, pois o cara do computador ta louco para usar o Linux e eu louco para me livrar dele :-) E não estou tendo sorte em encontrar a documentação que fala sobre estetipo de modificação. Se também for possível mencionar o nome do documento de referência, ficarei muito grato. --- Gleyson Mazioli da Silva [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, If you check out http://kde.tdyc.com you will find all the information you need to get kde working on debian. Worked great for me, I'm using woody. They have packages for slink too.

I have recently put together a Atrend ATC6260 Dual PII 400 w/ 128 SDRAM and installed frozen on it using dselect's apt option. The default uni-kernel I soon replaced w/ make-kpkg of the 2.2.14-5 (debian aquired) variety and it is perfect EXCEPT that upon boot klogd will monopolize 50% of the kernel resources until termed.

Moving, about two weeks ago now, to Debian has been in many ways a joy, but some specific parts of the change have been a lot harder to recover from than I had expected. Most of the problems could have been resolved instantaneously if I had had a good source of information about the way the Debian system handles packages. And specifically, what to expect from (and how to get the most out of) the 'dpkg,' 'dselect' and 'apt-get' commands. (Are there other, related, commands that I haven't run across yet?)

Re: make-kpkg fail: can't find modversions.h (compiling pcmcia-modules)
Mark == Mark Phillips [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Mark I think this is the problem. I shouldn't have to do the configuring Mark myself because make-kpkg should do it for me. For some reason it Mark seems that it doesn't. It sounds like a bug with make-kpkg. No, this is pilot error. Please read the documentation that comes with kernel-package; it details exactly what one needs to do. I thought I was following the documentation, but it sounds like I misread it. I presume you are talking about the README.modules file? I did follow these instructions, except that I have always been under the impression that the first step 3) was optional. If I summarise the steps: 1) Install modules source 2) Do make menuconfig 3) If you want a kernel-image do make-kpkg --revision number kernel_image 3) If you want a modules package make-kpkg --revision number modules_image 4) Use dpkg -i to install. I thought that the first of these step 3)s was only necessary if you wanted a new kernel-image package. Are you saying that the first step 3) is necessary even if you already have an appropriate kernel image? I thought I had skipped this step in the past without difficulty. But perhaps I had done the kernel compilation earlier without doing a clean and that's why it worked??? Anyway, it sounds like I have misunderstood. Perhaps an extra little note that this step is not optional as well as giving the two steps separate numbers would help avoid such missunderstandings. The other thing I might mention, is that a number of the files, README.modules, README.tecra etc etc, do not appear in the /usr/doc/kernel-package directory. Then are in the /usr/lib/kernel-package/ directory. I only found them by doing a locate command. Perhaps it would be useful to make links to these files so they show up in the /usr/doc/kernel-package directory? By the way, I hope my comments aren't coming across as me being critical of the kernel-package. I think Manoj has done a great job with this utility. I am just making the comments so that things can be made even better, and so that future people don't make the same mistakes I have made.

Re: [*]ntfs and kernel
Ok scrap that idea. That's what I get for posting without thinking. Plan (b), note I might be entirely wrong again, is that installing the .deb for 2.0.33 is a rather bad idea, you should be compiling the support in using the 2.0.38 kernel source. I would have thought that NTFS support would be an option inside make menuconfig (or whatever make method you use), and by installing the 2.0.33 version you've effectively downgraded the NTFS support. Note again that it's so long since I played with Hamm that I could be wrong. Point I'm making is, you should be looking for a ntfs2.0.38* deb package or a module option within the 2.0.38 source for your NTFS support. Being a potato user I can't advise any further. If I am wrong again, I will effectively quarantine my support services until my braincells reach an acceptably high number.

Re: New kernel (2.2.15), now keyboard/machine freezes often
I've just compiled and installed a new kernel (version 2.2.15) on a friend's Toshiba laptop. He has emailed me today complaining about keyboard freezes. Actually, I'm not sure from his comments, whether it is just the keyboard that freezes or the whole computer. An update on the problem. I have confirmed that it is not the whole computer which freezes. It is the keyboard in the console which freezes (the console also seems to go blank). I know this because I can connect to the machine via telnet over the ethernet from another machine. The freeze happens often after booting. One time it worked for a while, but then froze when changing consoles. I am guessing it is either 1. A interrupt conflict with the keyboard. But /proc/interrupts doesn't seem to show any conflict --- would it show up here? 2. A problem with APM options in the kernel. Are there any options to watch out for with the Toshiba Tecra 8000? 3. Some other kernel options wrongly selected for the compile. Any ideas anyone?

How to configure X?

I thought it would install everything I need for X Window, but I guess not... I can't run it. I allready ran XF68Setup, as well as xf86config, and I also downloaded and installed the correct drivers for my graphics card (Diamond Viper V770 Ultra). I have configured and installed those drivers in other Linux distributions (Red Hat 6 and Slackware 7), but I can't do it in Debian. When I use startx I errors like: _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 and after that some errors about directory not found. I also downloaded all the xf86_servers, that is: svga, vga16, mono, etc, etc, etc...

Is this the correct group to report this? Any ideas? I'm not sure that this would affect installation of the module itself, but lp device numbering changed between kernels 2.0.x and 2.2.x. Have you compiled a new kernel yet? The modules off the install disks are a bit dodgy (this bug may have been fixed however). -- Nathan Norman Eschew Obfuscation Network Engineer GPG Key ID 1024D/51F98BB7http://home.midco.net/~nnorman/ Key fingerprint = C5F4 A147 416C E0BF AB73 8BEF F0C8 255C 51F9 8BB7 pgpWzfcA5FJKB.pgp Description: PGP signature

I had no sound problems until an upgrade I did yesterday: for some reason (I'm not sure if I did select additional packages or not, I thought I just did an apt-get upgrade), alsa seems to be misconfigured. During the installation of the packages yesterday, the alsaconf script was called... And my /etc/modules file now has several alias snd-card-xx entries. When I boot, this is what I get: sb Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 sb: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones... SB 4.13 detected OK (220) (so the sound card was detected) But later in the boot process, I also get lots of messages like: /etc/rc2.d/S20alsa: alias: snd-slot-XX not found /etc/rc2.d/S20alsa: alias: snd-card-XX not found /etc/rc2.d/S20alsa: alias: snd-service-0-0 not found /etc/rc2.d/S20alsa: alias: snd-mixer-oss not found (These are not shown when I call dmesg, I had to press ctrl-S and copy them during the boot process) And when I start enlightenment, it complains about not being ble to communicate with esound... Also, I can't use the sound device (it's lwys busy). I do not have the package esound installed, but I *do* have esound-alsa, version 0.2.18-2 (I just checked) What could have happened? I tried calling alsaconf, and it shows me a list of soundcards (so I suppose it didn't detect the soundblaster automatically)... I can see: SoundBlaster_1.0 SoundBlaster_2.0 SoundBlaster_Pro And the others options are PnP and PCI cards (so I suppose they wouldn't work). I have tried choosing SoundBlaster_1.0, but it didn't work. Does anyone have any idea of what i have to do to get this working again? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

could this be a result of the perl5.004* vs. 5.005* situation?
if not, then--what?

my $ip = 208.33.90.84;
my $wait = 5;
$p = Net::Ping-new();
print $ip is alive.\n if $p-ping($ip);
$p-close();

bizarre gateway box routing behavior; what's wrong with my configs?
I've posted parts of this problem before, and thanks to the folks who have made suggestions. However, I'm still stuck. I'm a relative newbie with Linux trying to set up a gateway box with three NICs so I can masquerade the ip addresses of a DMZ and Internal network similar to the description in the IPCHAINS HOWTO. At this point, I've just set up three networks with reserved addresses around the gateway box while I work out the routing. But for reasons I cannot work out, two of the NICs (eth1 and eth2) in the gateway box are behaving bizarrely. I can ping them from inside the gateway box, and I can also ping them from the network attached to eth0. However, I cannot ping them from the networks attached directly to the NICs. It seems to me that there must be some Truly Stpid error I've made in a simple configuration, but I can't find it and would *greatly* appreciate any help. This is driving me nuts. Here's my network topology: External Network (BAD) | Test Client box 192.168.1.2 | ||HUB|| | eth1| (will be the external address eventually) --- | 192.168.1.1| | | |GATEWAY BOX |eth0 --- | |192.168.2.1 | (DMZ) | | | |192.168.3.1 | | --- | | eth2 | || ||HUB|| ||HUB|| || || Internal Network (GOOD) | || - - laptop|WWW/ mail server | - - 192.168.3.2 192.168.2.2 I'm running Debian (potato) on a scavenged P75 box. I've got an Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 PCI NIC at eth0, and two Intel EntherExpress Pro/10+ ISA NICs at eth1 and eth2. I believe I've successfully configured the ISA NICs via isapnptools; the PCI NIC was found automagically during the Debian installation. Here's the ifconfig output: eth0Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:C9:E6:97:49 inet addr:192.168.2.1 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:33 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:16 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:6 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:9 Base address:0xfcc0 eth1Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:AA:00:BD:AE:A1 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:5 Base address:0x200 eth2Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:AA:00:BD:B0:90 inet addr:192.168.3.1 Bcast:192.168.3.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x220 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:38 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:38 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 The NICs' LEDs indicate that they're connected and responding to traffic on their networks, and when I stuck the ISA NICs into a Windoze box, they worked fine. So I believe the NICs are OK except for some idiotic configuration error.

The ideal software would be able to handle both mail and news in an integrated manner, place incoming and outgoing messages into folders automatically using header info, integrate with PGP/GPG, handle UU/MIME attachments, thread messages, fetch using POP3 and send via SMTP, would have a GUI that allows multiple windows to be open for composing and reading mail/articles, and would be easy to use and free of charge. Christophe Mew http://www.mew.org/ has all that (plus much Christophe more, particularly important for me is the ablility to Christophe manage several identities with associated headers, Christophe signature,...).

I ran into this problem a few weeks ago; At the time I think I decided
it was a problem with the Socket module. I hadn't investigated it
much since I found a solution that worked for me.
The Net::Ping module is part of package perl-5.005; there's an open
bug that seems to address this issue:
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/55/55427.html
Note that this Net::Ping module tries to create a UDP socket by
default; this doesn't work. I don't think the TCP socket ping worked
for me either.
The good news is that the ICMP type works fine; however it must run
under root priviledges.
