RE: fallo al llamar a pppd con RDSI

2000-05-24 Thread Juanma
Madre del amor hermoso ¿de donde has sacado esto?

Perdona por el comentario pero me pegué por lo menos dos meses de pelea en
una de estas conexiones y despues de probar un montón de scrips me
funcionaron unos que me pasaron y despues de leer la página de Arenaza.

Mira, hay dos maneras de conectarse a internet por ISDN:

Una de ellas de manera síncrona (con el deminio ipppd) que es la más usual
La otra de manera asíncrona (con la emulación del dispositivo ttyS0 para
modem normal con el dispositivo ttyI0) para saber un poco más mira la página
del manual ttyI0.

Luego viene lo de las autenticaciones: chap o pap.

Si les preguntas a los proveedores cuál es la manera te responderán con
cualquier cosa. Tuve unas peleas de la leche con ellos porque no sabían con
seguridad pues confundían un modem con otro. LO solventé conectandome a una
cuenta gratuita de telefónica (síncrona y autenticación pap) y, una vez
funcionando, me fuí probando el login y password con las demás compañías.

Me bajé la página de arenaza
(web.jet.es/inaki.arenaza/linux/linux.rdsi.html) y empezé a currarmela.

Una vez hecho esto me dió problemas porque no encontraba el usuario.

Hice dos cosas: poner entre comillas el nombre y el password (ojo con los
tabuladores es decir nombre tabulador asterisco tabulador password)

Busqué el archivo de las isdn4k-utils donde decía el lugar donde aparecían
el options y con qué nombre) en mi caso era en etc/ppp/ippp0.d/options. Debo
comentar que en mi caso el nombre de las opciones era options a secas y no
ioptions ¿?) El archivo era el ip-up situado en /etc/sysconfig (lo he mirado
ahora)
No obstante el fichero options puede ir vacío en el caso de que ipppd se
ejecute con las opciones en linea, porque este comando busca primero en su
linea las opciones y luego busca el archivo ioptions (u options).

Otra cosa a tener en cuenta es poner bien el número de teléfono propio. No
me digas por qué pero me daba un mensaje de error diciendo más o menos no
MSN o algo así.

Despues de todo esto ocurrió el milagro (no sabes lo emocionante que es) de
que se conectaba bajo demanda.

Te paso los scripts directamente, proceden de uno que tenía una red hat
instalada y los fuí adecuando para la debian sin ningún problema. Si
alguien los necesita que me lo diga y hago lo mismo de manera personal para
no cargar aún más la lista.

Otra página buena en castellano es la RDSI-Como de Antonio Verdejo GArcía y
Francisco J. Montilla de lucas.

Hay otra pregunta por ahí (no se si es tuya) de alguien que preguntaba por
un modem barato. El billion vale unas 8000 pelillas y está perfectamente
soportado en linux (en la página de billon dice cómo excepto que además hay
que marcar el soporte sincrono en el núcleo).

Para trabajar en los dos canales hay que añadir el dispositivo ippp1.


Recibid un saludo y a ver si tienes suerte.

Juanma

 En Debian no se llama ni options ni ioptions:

 Buenas.

 En muchos sitios recomiendan que llamemos al window manager con
 un exec delante:

xterm -ls 
xosview 
xconsole -file /dev/xconsole -daemon 
exec icewm

 Quisiera saber cuál es la diferencia práctica entre poner 'exec
 icewm' y poner sólo 'icewm'. En la  página man de bash dice que con
 exec se sustituye al shell, pero de todas formas el resultado es el
 mismo: cuando acaba el icewm, volvemos a la consola de texto.

Sin ser un gurú en virus, sí que es posible que tengas el Chernobil u
otro virus en tu equipo, que no en tu Linux y me explico.
Si no recuerdo mal existen muchos virus de boot que afectan
principalmente a los disquetes (Chernobil podría ser uno de ellos, pero
no tengo documentación a mano).  Reduciendo mucho el proceso, si
arrancas el ordenador con un disquete infectado (normalmente por
despiste), te dirá aquello de No boot disk.  Replace and press any
key..., pero ya se te ha cargado el virus, cuando le das a una tecla,
pues el equipo te arranca normalmente, pero el enemigo ya está allí.
Sin pretender darle la razón a los de la tienda, podrías haber
infectado tu equipo sin que Linux haya llegado a arrancar o, incluso,
arrancándo tras cargar el virus.
Seguro que hay otras opiniones más cualificadas que la mía y hasta más

Conexión RDSI, ¿Novacom Mix?, ¿tarjeta?...

2000-05-24 Thread Javier Viñuales Gutiérrez
Holas, os voy a dar la paliza con RDSI un poco :-)

Quiero contratar una conexión RDSI con:
* Tarifa plana respecto a la transmisión de bytes.
* Tarifa plana respecto a la conexión.
* Conexión permanente con IP fija del servidor bajo Debian, como para poner
  Apache + servidor de correo para que nos entendamos.

He consultado con Telefónica y CTV y me han dicho que:
* El alta, instalación y contratación de la tarifa plana de conexión corre a
  cuenta de Telefónica y sale por:
   ---
   Instalación de línea y alta del servicio (64Kbps)... 28000 pts.
   Novacom Mix.  4300 pts.
   ---
   TOTAL ALTA.. 32300 pts.

   Plan Novacom (tarifa plana de conexión). 16000 pts/mes.

* La contratación de la conexión a Internet mediante línea RDSI e IP fija
  corre a cargo de CTV (o el ISP que sea):
   ---
   IP fija + Conexión Pro.. 34000 pts/año.

Ahora vienen las preguntas:
1.- ¿Es conveniente el uso del Novacom Mix o es una bacalada de la Timo
para que te gastes 4300 pts. más?. He leido en mensajes anteriores a la
lista que funcionar funciona bajo Linux pero más bien como un módem, es
decir que desaprovechas los 64Kbps de la conexión.
2.- En caso de que la recomendación sea, no, no uses el Novacom Mix, usa
una tarjeta de conexión RDSI, ¿qué tarjeta es recomendable?.
3.- Si quiero conectar una intranet através de la conexión RDSI, ¿necesito
un router?... esto es de principiante lo se pero ya que hay gente en la
lista trabajando hace años con este tipo de conexiones mejor que lo pregunte
aún cuando yo haya leido ya suficientes COMOS y mini-COMOS.
4.- En Telefónica me dicen que contratar una línea de más de 128Kbps con ISP no
tiene sentido ya que no vas a superar jamás los 64Kbps, ¿dicen la verda?.


Bueno paro ya porque os he dado demasiado la brasa *por hoy* con el tema,
gracias por llegar a este punto del correo, se agradece :)

Un saludos y hasta otra.

Creo que estarás hablando de la versión 6.01 de ghostscript, pués
ghostview no tiene números de versión tan altos (y en vez de usar
ghostview es mejor usar gv que es mucho mas moderno).

 (no hay .deb que yo sepa, y usé las fuentes) y luego lo borre y volví a
 instalar
 el g-5.10. Pero ahora me da siempre error en /findfont,
Instalaste también el paquete gsfonts? Y si quieres una versión mas
reciente del gs instala gs-aladdin que está en non-free.

También puedes usar gs --help para ver en que directorios está
buscando las fuentes. En uno de ellos deberían haber muchos (mas de 30)
archivos *.pfa o *.pfb y un archivo llamado Fontmap que debe tener la
especificación de en que archivos se encuentran Helvetica,

Cómo vivir con paquetes binarios y código fuente.

2000-05-24 Thread Grzegorz Adam Hankiewicz
Hola.

Tengo la necesidad de usar por una parte paquetes binarios .deb y por otra
librerías compiladas a partir del .tar.gz.

El problema es tener la versión binaria de gtk 1.1 y la versión de código
fuente 1.2.6. ¿Hay alguna forma de decirle al gestor de paquetes que se
olvide de las dependencias? ¿quizás instalando un paquete 'fantasma' que
ocupe su lugar?

Lo que quiero hacer concretamente es quitar el binario de gtk 1.1, hacer
un make install del 1.2.6 y ya está. El problema es que el gestor de
paquetes se vuelve loco al desinstalar gtk, y seguirá loco cuando intente
hacer cualquier actualización.

No tienes acceso a otra máquina con la misma versión de debian para
copiar el /usr/sbin?
O si nó se me ocurre lo siguiente:

  cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
  fgrep -l 'usr/sbin' *.list

Esto te dá la lista de los paquetes que te instalaron algo en /usr/sbin
(en mi caso me dá 107 paquetes!).
Después tendrías que bajarte los respectivos archivos .deb y para cada
uno de ellos podrías hacer:

  cd /
  dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile paquete.deb |tar xf - ./usr/sbin

para extraer lo que te interesa.
Yo lo haria una vez y después lo repetiría para los otros 106 con:
  for each i in $(fgrep -l 'usr/sbin' *.list); do LO_QUE_SEA_PARA $i;
done

Pero sinceramente espero que alguien te sugiera algo mejor pués lo que
te estoy sugiriendo te va a dar bastante trabajo.
Tengo la impresión que si reinstalas los paquetes no te altera la
configuración sin preguntar, pero es mejor que alguien lo confirme.

Se me ocurre instalar el 1.2.6 en /usr/local y después usar
update-alternatives para hacer que el binario de gtk sea el que está
en /usr/local y no el que instala el paquete de debian. Si con el
update-alternatives pones el binario de gtk en modo manual (ver man

Re: Conexión RDSI, ¿Novacom Mix?, ¿tarjeta?...

2000-05-24 Thread JFA
 3.- Si quiero conectar una intranet através de la conexión RDSI, ¿necesito
 un router?... esto es de principiante lo se pero ya que hay gente en la
 lista trabajando hace años con este tipo de conexiones mejor que lo 
 pregunte
 aún cuando yo haya leido ya suficientes COMOS y mini-COMOS.

Te respondo a esto porque es lo único que se. Necesitas un router, es decir,
un ordenador a través del cual puedan conectarse los demás. Bueno, pues
cualquier linux Debian te vale, mismamente el que tiene la RDSI. Lo puedes
hacer mediante proxy - que no se cómo se hace - o mediante masquerading, que
es lo más fácil. de hecho existe un paquete en Potato que se llama ipmasq
que hace el masquerading automágicamente, pero te recomiendo que te leas el
howto, pues así lo pondrás a tu gusto.

Re: Conexión RDSI, ¿Novacom Mix?, ¿tarjeta?...

2000-05-24 Thread Andres Seco Hernandez
Hola

El 24 May 2000 a las 03:19PM +0200, Javier Viñuales Gutiérrez escribio:
 Quiero contratar una conexión RDSI con:
 * Tarifa plana respecto a la transmisión de bytes.
 * Tarifa plana respecto a la conexión.
 * Conexión permanente con IP fija del servidor bajo Debian, como para poner
   Apache + servidor de correo para que nos entendamos.
 
 He consultado con Telefónica y CTV y me han dicho que:
 * El alta, instalación y contratación de la tarifa plana de conexión corre a
   cuenta de Telefónica y sale por:
---
Instalación de línea y alta del servicio (64Kbps)... 28000 pts.
Novacom Mix.  4300 pts.
---
TOTAL ALTA.. 32300 pts.
 
Plan Novacom (tarifa plana de conexión). 16000 pts/mes.

¿El Novacom está disponible para la conexión a internet? ¿No era solo para
conexión entre 2 RDSIs de particulares y no contra un nodo de Infovía? ¿O
entras a un nodo del proveedor en tu ciudad?

 * La contratación de la conexión a Internet mediante línea RDSI e IP fija
   corre a cargo de CTV (o el ISP que sea):
---
IP fija + Conexión Pro.. 34000 pts/año.
 
 Ahora vienen las preguntas:
 1.- ¿Es conveniente el uso del Novacom Mix o es una bacalada de la Timo
 para que te gastes 4300 pts. más?. He leido en mensajes anteriores a la
 lista que funcionar funciona bajo Linux pero más bien como un módem, es
 decir que desaprovechas los 64Kbps de la conexión.

Vas a tener que actualizar el firmware del Novacom. Con el que viene
tienes un rendimiento como de 9600 o menos según le dé. Despues de cargar
el firmware nuevo va muchísimo mejor. Hasta 7.5 KB/s en los mejores
casos (dependiendo, claro, de proveedor, carga, destino de la descarga,
etc.).
Eso si, con Novacon Mix 64 Kbps máximo. Lo mejor, que es un modem AT
normal y corriente. No hay movidas de configuración RDSI.

Mírate la página personal de Iñaki Arenaza (todo un clásico) y verás una
referencia al novacom mix en el encabezado. La página está alojada en
http://web.jet.es/inaki.arenaza/linux/linux-rdsi.html

 2.- En caso de que la recomendación sea, no, no uses el Novacom Mix, usa
 una tarjeta de conexión RDSI, ¿qué tarjeta es recomendable?.

Seguro que el rendimiento final es mejor y en muchas tarjetas podrás
conectar con Multilink PPP a 128 Kbps si contratas el servicio con tu ISP.

 3.- Si quiero conectar una intranet através de la conexión RDSI, ¿necesito
 un router?... esto es de principiante lo se pero ya que hay gente en la
 lista trabajando hace años con este tipo de conexiones mejor que lo 
 pregunte
 aún cuando yo haya leido ya suficientes COMOS y mini-COMOS.

Linux puede hacer de router con traslación de direcciones perfectamente
(IP-Masquerading, o lo que llaman NAT otras gentes).

 4.- En Telefónica me dicen que contratar una línea de más de 128Kbps con ISP 
 no
 tiene sentido ya que no vas a superar jamás los 64Kbps, ¿dicen la verda?.

¿Más de 128 Kbps? Será entonces una linea dedicada, punto a punto, con tu
ISP. Claro que irá más rápido, pero, ¿seguro que la necesitas? ¿seguro que
tu proveedor si lo soporta no te va a clavar?

 Bueno paro ya porque os he dado demasiado la brasa *por hoy* con el tema,
 gracias por llegar a este punto del correo, se agradece :)

De nada.

Saludos.

Re: dhcp cable modem (somewhat urgent)

2000-05-24 Thread Joe Emenaker

 Question:  How do you get the dhcp client on my firewall computer to grab
the
 cable modem address and not an address from my internal dhcp?

If you are going to have two have two ethernet cards in your machine, this
is fairly easy and a number of responses have already touched on how to have
dhcpcd listen on only one card.

If you're like me, and you use one card in the box at all, then it gets a
little more fun. What it requires is one of those cable modems that
marries the first ethernet card it sees. Here in central CA, our provider
uses General Instruments SurfBoard modems. The first DHCP request they see,
the memorize the hardware address of that card and that's the only thing
they'll listen to is *that* card. That will keep other machines on your
home-net from getting the IP address.

Then, all you have to do is make sure that your linux box doesn't get its IP
address from the *other* DHCP server. There are two ways to do this.

 1 - If your other DHCP server *is* you linux box, you probably have nothing
to worry about, but, just to be safe, you can probably launch your DHCP
daemon *after* you get an IP address from the modem by putting
/etc/init.d/dhcp start in your /etc/dhcpcd/ip-up script (or whatever it's
called).

 2 - If your other DHCP server is *not* the linux box that is going to be
talking to the cable-modem, then just hard-code 1-to-1 mappings in your
dhcpd.conf file so that it only gives out certain IP's to hardware addresses
that it recognizes.

Re[3]: Simple Text Editor with Synatx highlighting?

Hi,
The worst case that I have seen in vim, is the multiline regexp
with quotes in it. And it is even worse if I only want to match

 Vim.  I've not seen a problem with its highlighting that didn't also

 colorize right.  The /only/ perl construct I know of that doesn't work is
 something like this:
 
 if ($foo =~ /bar\/blam/){

 Vim would see the \/, see a / and mess up the colorization right there.
 However, this fixes it:
 
 if ($foo =~ m/bar\/blam/){
 }
 
 Adding the m works fine.  To me, explicitly stating a match is no big deal
 for me.  If course, I also use parens like a zealot but bouncing on the % key
 is so much fun.
 
 foreach $file (sort(keys(%files))){

 One downside of vim that I just remembered, be careful the need for

 and if you have the confirmation turned off you lose messages in your Windows
 email client.  Normally I don't wack the ESC key unless I am doing code.  See

The best way is to have identical disks, so you don´t have to worry about
lilo, partitions or anything else, just
  dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb

IMHO this is also the best way to backup NT, just insert tomsrtbt

In case of OS weirdness just dd the other way ;-)

you might be able to use md5 hashes instead of crypt, then you could

 is this a bug or can squid only handle 8 characters?

i am not sure about squid specifically, but i think your problem is

Mutt configuration

2000-05-24 Thread Erik van der Meulen
Hi, I love Mutt as an e-mail client. A few things I have not been able
to sort out yet. Any suggestions would be welcome.

- I would like to have prober IMAP support. I use Mutt on a local
  machine, for remote access I use Netscape (IMAP) over LAN, and IMP
  (also IMAP) over Internet. I have not been able to get Mutt to do
  proper IMAP. Rumours about a new release with improved functionallity
  are circulating...

- I would like to be able to use a different name in the From: line than
  my linux account name. My account is 'erik', but I have an alias
  e.van.der.meulen. How do I get Mutt to default to the last?

- Is there some way to set return receipts in Mutt? I thing I have been
  able to do this once, but cannot get it right again.

I have scanned some .muttrc files for the answers and also browsed the
documentation. Sure I have missed something somehow...

Thanks a lot!

3C905 with AsusTek K7V

2000-05-24 Thread Nolan Clark
My 3C905 nic does not seem to work with the K7V motherboard. The card works 
fine in windows, but it will not work in redhat or debian linux.  Redhat 
didn't have much in the way of errors, but debian produced some very 
interesting things during boot up:


--normal boot stuff--

SIOCSIFBRDADDR: Operation not supported by device

-- from there it boots fine with no errors.


Note that this is a fresh install of debian, and I have not tried to tweak 
anything. I also got an SIOC error with redhat when I used the 
bootnet.img floppy, so I think it's the same problem. I tried setting the 
IRQ for the card to 5 in the BIOS instead of auto but it didn't make any 
difference. If you have any suggestions whatsoever I would be glad to try them.

As a last ressort, you can always consult the search engine at 

http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages (- Search Package Directories)

This interface will list all dependencies. Even if you don't download
the packages from there (apt is certainly more convenient), it might
be helpfull as a means of orientation, especially if you're still
exploring the load of packages which are available.

Ghostscript message '/invalidfont in findfont' (specifically, Times

Ad you don't get that with ghostview? Both are just frontends to gs
and this is an error message straight from gs itself.

Any ideas about where to get additional fonts and how
to make them available for ghostscript?  (running debian slink,
kernel 2.0.36 on a cyrix 486 dx).

Put the font files in a directory of your choice, add that to the
GS_LIB environment variable,

export GS_LIB=/path/to/the/fonts:$GS_LIB

and create a 'Fontmap' file in this directory. Format looks like this:

% postscript name   font file

/TimesNewRomanPSMT  (times.ttf) ;
/TimesNewRomanPS_BoldItalicMT   (timesbi.ttf)   ;
/TimesNewRomanPS_BoldMT (timesb.ttf);
/TimesNewRomanPS_ItalicMT   (timesi.ttf);

See /usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts/Fontmap for examples.

How to find out about the ps name depends on the type of font. For
type1, there is 'type1inst' (this will create a Fontmap file for you).
For truetype, the fastest way I'm aware of is using ttf2afm (in the
freetype package) and grep the name from the afm:

ttf2afm font.ttf | grep ^FontName

OK, investigation done! The problem Vim syntax has with the above code lies
in the syntax file /usr/share/vim/vim56/syntax/perl.vim
(Maybe there is a newer one.)

It just looks for s///, s### and s[][] like the following excerpt shows:

 Last Change:  1999 Dec 27
[...]

 Substitutions
 caters for s///, s### and s[][]
 perlMatch is the first part, perlSubstitution is the substitution part
syn region perlSubstitution matchgroup=perlMatchStartEnd start=+/+ 
end=+/[xosmigecd]*+ contained [EMAIL PROTECTED]
syn region perlSubstitution matchgroup=perlMatchStartEnd start=+#+ 
end=+#[xosmige]*+ contained [EMAIL PROTECTED]
syn region perlSubstitution matchgroup=perlMatchStartEnd start=+\[+ 
end=+\][xosmige]*+ contained [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So if you rewrite the sample code to

$hello =~ s[
\hello world
  ][
hello
  ]gex;

it gets colorized correctly. Or one could change the syntax file to include
{} pairs in substitutions also.

cd-rw for old cdrom drivers (8x)

2000-05-24 Thread Kenneth Scharf
Speed isn't your problem.  Selecting the speed in
cdrecord on changes how long the disk took to burn. 
Older CD rom drives can't read CD-RW disks, period. 
The reflectivity of CD-RW's is quite low, lower even
than CD-R media.  The optics and electronics of a CD
rom reader must be able to 'see' the pits recorded
onto the media to read it, and the contrast is too low
on CD-RW media for some old drives to do it.  Even
older CD rom drives won't be able to read CD-R media
either.  Your 44x drive seems to be able to handle
CD-RW and CD-R media, it must be of quite recent
design.  

BTW I have a DVD-video player that also plays audio
CD's (actually all such players do) but it won't play
CD-R disks!  (even though my old portable cd walkman
will, and the cd player in my car will also. But these
players will probably balk at cd-rw media).

SOonly use cd-rw media for stuff you will read
back later on the cd-rw burner, and use CD-R media for
interchange between machines.


Hi,

I've burned a potato image (disk 2) on a
cd-rw disk. 
What cdrecord options should I use in order
to make the disk
readable by olders cdrom drivers (8x, 4x, 16x, etc)?
I've tried in a 8x and wasn't able to read
even it works fine on
a 44x one.

I'm far from the most expert on parallel ports --

parallel printer
working on a potato server. I did it by (manually)
insmod'ing
parport.o
parport_pc.o
lp.o

Most of the printing docs I've seen don't mention the
last of these. 
I'm not
sure if the second one is actually needed; it might
be the support for
non-printer devices on the parport.

I found that loading parport_pc automagicly loaded
parport.  Atleast when using modconfig and selecting
parport_pc it also grabbed parport.  I think we have a
layered driver here, lp sits on top of parport_pc on
top of parport.  Or something like that.

Using apt offline

2000-05-24 Thread Moore, Paul
Hi,
I have a small number of machines which are currently running slink. I'd
like to upgrade them, at least to frozen and possibly even to woody.

The simple answer is apt-get (dist-)upgrade. However, there are a couple of
issues with this. First, I pay for internet downloads, so I want to minimise
download time, and second, at least one of the machines is not connected to
the internet.

The machines' configurations are pretty much identical, so I would like to
download the necessary files *once* and upgrade all the machines offline.
The problem is knowing how to get apt to work this way.

I think that what I could do is

2. Transfer the downloaded files to all machines
3. apt-get dist-upgrade --no-download on all the machines.

The only difficulty I have is with step (2) - is it enough to transfer the
/var/cache/apt/archives directory? If not, what is the best way?

More generally, what is the best way for me to keep a number of machines
reasonably up to date, given

1. The only CDs I can get are slink (2.1r4) until potato hits the UK CD

2. I have limited network bandwidth.
3. The network bandwidth costs money.

I'm not myself a SCSI expert. 

I sought advice on what to buy (before I purchased my LVD drive)
from the aic7xxx mailing list and was told specifically that I
should buy an LVD drive to get more performance later on when if
I get a new controller (perhaps with a new computer).  I was
assured that it would work, and it did.

Perhaps ask that list if yours should work too?  Might be a
driver bug?

Transfering logfiles from one to another server ?

2000-05-24 Thread Oliver Schoenknecht
Hi there,

does anyone of you know how to accomplish the transfer of a log 
file from one server to another ?

For example, I have stored the local files of the server mail.bla.org 
in the absolute path /usr/logs. Besides I am running the 
dialin.bla.org whichs /var/logs/messages-file I would like to grep 
and put in the /usr/logs of mail.bla.org... got the idea behind this ?

Any help is - as always - appreciated !

That seems to work based on dselect. I want to do an apt-get dist-upgrade,
which AFAIK dselect can't do...

Actually, another issue is that I won't have access to the ftp/http sources
on the non-networked machines - how will apt on those machines know what
it should do - do I need to copy some other parts of the /var/.../apt stuff?

Almost, but not quite.  I share /var/cache/apt over NFS here and it works,
provided that I do an apt-get update on each machine.  If you can find where
the list of available packages is stored and copy that also, though, you
should be set.

As a slightly more strightforward way of accomplishing what I think you want
to do, `man 8 syslogd` contains some pretty good directions for setting up
syslogd to send log messages directly to another logging host.  This would
allow mail.bla.org to send log messages to dialin.bla.org's messages-file as
well as (or instead of) its own local logs instead of requiring that they be
transferred later.

How to properly Gnomeify Storm Linux?

2000-05-24 Thread John McBride
Hello,

I have been using Storm Linux, but am tired of KDE.

I installed potato, and the helix-gnome, as well as some of the window
managers.

Here are my questions:

1) I tried a bunch of window managers and the helixcode stuff, and now
my destop is broken (I think WindowMaker did...something. All the WM
menus suddenly disappeared, and nothing seemed to be right after that).
Enlightenment won't configure, sawfish locks the configuration app, etc.
What packages do I need to remove and reinstall to start over with my
gnome desktop? Is there a way to make my Storm Linux distro into a
Debian Gnome Workstation?

2) What is the proper way to convert a Storm Linux system to Gnome? My
debian book says to add the following lines to the top of
/etc/X11/Xsession (replace e with whatever):

gmc 
enlightement 
panel
exit 0

...given all I've gone through trying to get a workable gnome desktop on
this machine (broken menus, menus that suddenly disappear, configurators
that don't, configurators that lock up) there must be a better way.

I guess the real question is :

Is there a way to make my Storm Linux distro into a Debian Gnome
Workstation? IE; the desktop icons don't overlap the wm icons, the
menus and configurators work, etc.

Also, I use startx from the command line, no *dm logins.

Thanks in advance,
John

Building my own apt archive

Another question on apt...

I've downloaded a lot of .deb files from various places on the Internet, and
I'd like to put them on a CD or something for safekeeping. It strikes me
that the best way of doing this would be to put them in some sort of format
which would allow me to use apt to install off it.

Can somebody point me to a document which explains how to build an apt-style
archive? I've looked in the manpages, but there isn't anything which
immediately springs out at me... I think that at the least I need a
Packages.gz file, but I'm not sure how that gets set up. Also, do I need a
fixed directory structure?

Only an issue with kernel 2.2.x and higher. With kernel 2.0.x it's a bit
different.  

 I found that loading parport_pc automagicly loaded
 parport.  Atleast when using modconfig and selecting
 parport_pc it also grabbed parport.  I think we have a
 layered driver here, lp sits on top of parport_pc on
 top of parport.  Or something like that.

Right.
There's more info about all this in the file parport.txt in the

This is right. 
AFAIK, the hardware side of the issue goes something like this:
One phase of the clock signal looks something like this:

The x86 Processors will issue a command whenever the signal voltage is
high. The m68k processors will issue a command whenever the signal voltage
is high and the next when it's low (Motorola claims, that the 68060
issues three commands per clock cycle, I don't know why you then don't get
three times  the MIPS value of a x86 on a per MHz basis. I also don't

 not sure, but this sounds very strange to me.
 afaik, you can nest extended patitions as much as you want.

Could be, but why would you want 10 partitions? :)

And does the kernel support this (yes I know fdisk can easily support
something like this, but that doesn't mean the kernel does).

Re: Cannot find libz1 and libxpm4

2000-05-24 Thread John Bagdanoff
I guess, my problem is caused by the fact that I use dpkg
to investigate
dependencies and to install packages and not apt-get (I
must admit, that
I positioned it low priority on my installing list. Since
setting it up
didn't work right from the beginning, I skipped it for
later
experiments.
 
 As a last ressort, you can always consult the search engine
 at
  
  http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages (- Search Package
  Directories)
   
   This interface will list all dependencies. Even if you
   don't download
   the packages from there (apt is certainly more
   convenient), it might
   be helpfull as a means of orientation, especially if
   you're still
   exploring the load of packages which are available.

  
Make apt a higher priority.  I was just like you, not
wanting to bother with apt, until I couldn't get my
~.xsession read.  After asking on this list, I found that I needed cpio 
installed.
