Re: fuentes del ghostscript (solucionado)
Si, efectivamente era el ghostscript. Estaba pensando en el y escribi ghostview :) (ah, y si que uso gv, me gusta mas :) Lo que me paso fue que borre el fichero /etc/gs.Fontmap despues de borrar el gs6.01 y antes de instalar el paquete deb de la 5.10 (burro que soy), y luego en el directorio de fuentes habia un link roto, y no lo encontre. Lo raro es que reinstalando el paquete gs-5.10 NO me vuelve a crear el fichero gs.Fontmap, asi que lo copie directamente y ahora funciona, porque los paquetes de fuentes los tenia instalado todos.

Justo lo que tenemos en el curro. 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. Si contratas un dominio, ya tienes algo mas de coste. Ademas, en ese caso, puede que necesites que CTV te haga de DNS secundario (o primario, o los dos). Eso tambien tiene su coste (pequeño). 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. No creo que desaproveches nada. Se comporta como un modem, pero a 64 Kbps, que es lo que has contratado. Otra cosa es como vaya ese modem en concreto. 2.- En caso de que la recomendación sea, no, no uses el Novacom Mix, usa una tarjeta de conexión RDSI, ¿qué tarjeta es recomendable?. El del curro, va con una Teles 16.3, y otro va con una Billion PCI. Otros los tengo con unas sin marca con chip Winbond. Ninguna da problemas. 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. Puedes hacer que el propio servidor haga masquerading. Imagino que la seguridad se resentira, pero puede servir perfectamente. Otra solucion seria poner un Linux conectado a la RDSI haciendo de router y cortafuegos, con masquerading, y meter el servidor dentro (activando portforwarding). 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?. La cuestion es como te vas a conectar al proveedor. Si es directamente a nodo local, imagino que tendras que contratarlo con CTV. Si es por I+, dependera de si I+ soporta multippp 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 :) Si vas por I+ y con CTV, que Dios te pille confesao.

I no expert but don't you have to enable ip forwarding in the kernel first by executing the following: # echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward I assume of course that you are trying to set up ip masquerading.

xdm/kdm two terminal problem
I have kdm kick up two login screens on vt7 and vt8 at boot up. However, within 5 minutes of booting the screen switches from vt8 to vt7 and blacks out vt8. vt8 is still working fine, but I need to refresh the screen. This is a minor problem except that sometimes it causes my screen to lock causing me to either reboot, or log in remotely and kill kdm. Sometimes, it locks the machine entirely and I can't do that. For the most part, I've found a way to live with this with the lockups occurring rarely, but does anyone know how to solve this problem? It doesn't appear to be a problem with *dm because it's done it with xdm and kdm. I have vt7 start and then vt8 start on bootup so vt8 is what is the screen first seen. Is this a problem with the Debian package of kdm or xdm? I know Red Hat does not have this problem. Can anyone help? TIA.

Re: kysmoops (was keysmoops)
| Given that the directory isn't being rotated, is contantly growing, | neither keysmoop nor keysmoops returns any hits on Google, and | that smoop looks suspiciously like snoop.. Forgive me; I mis-typed. The directory is actually `ksymoops' and it's obviously not the result of a security breach. According to kernelnotes.org, ksymoops is a program to: Read a kernel Oops file and make the best stab at converting the code to instructions and mapping stack values to kernel symbols. At www.us.kernel.org we are told: ksymoops - decode Linux kernel Oops messages. Also handles spinlock and showPc diagnostics. When you poke around a bit more (in the man page for insmod for example), you discover that to overcome certain problems with debugging kernel oops: if directory /var/log/ksy- moops exists then insmod and rmmod will automatically copy /proc/ksyms and /proc/modules to /var/log/ksymoops with a prefix of `date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`. The system administrator can tell ksymoops which snapshot files to use when debug- ging an Oops. There is no switch to disable this auto- matic copy, if you do not want it to occur, do not create /var/log/ksymoops. If that directory exists, it should be owned by root and be mode 644 or 600 and you should run this script every day or so. The script below is installed as insmod_clean_ksymoops. Which all makes a kind of sense. Except that I didn't create /var/log/ksymoops (I wouldn't have known how to or why to; I had never heard of ksymoops before I noticed the existence of the log files); it must have been created automatically in the upgrade process from slink to frozen. But that seems wrong, given how hard and time-consuming it turned out to be to find out what the files were and what they are for; in the meantime, the directory just kept growing and growing with eight new files added each minute or so: . . . . . . . . . -rw-r--r--1 root root 1842 May 24 21:58 2524215811.modules -rw-r--r--1 root root70151 May 24 21:58 2524215812.ksyms -rw-r--r--1 root root 2671 May 24 21:58 2524215812.modules -rw-r--r--1 root root74557 May 24 21:58 2524215813.ksyms -rw-r--r--1 root root 3285 May 24 21:58 2524215813.modules -rw-r--r--1 root root75002 May 24 21:58 2524215814.ksyms -rw-r--r--1 root root 3369 May 24 21:58 2524215814.modules -rw-r--r--1 root root72660 May 24 21:59 2524215956.ksyms -rw-r--r--1 root root 2681 May 24 21:59 2524215956.modules -rw-r--r--1 root root68075 May 24 21:59 2524215957.ksyms -rw-r--r--1 root root 2129 May 24 21:59 2524215957.modules -rw-r--r--1 root root55266 May 24 21:59 2524215958.ksyms -rw-r--r--1 root root 1501 May 24 21:59 2524215958.modules -rw-r--r--1 root root39156 May 24 22:00 2524215959.ksyms -rw-r--r--1 root root 650 May 24 22:00 2524215959.modules -rw-r--r--1 root root22109 May 24 22:00 252422.ksyms -rw-r--r--1 root root 108 May 24 22:00 252422.modules -rw-r--r--1 root root35488 May 24 22:00 2524220014.ksyms -rw-r--r--1 root root 408 May 24 22:00 2524220014.modules Oh well---another Linux learning experience, I suppose.

What do I have to change to accomplish this, or is there a better solution altogether? Thanks greatly, oge

POP3 server problem
Hello everyone, I have a very weird problem happening with our POP3 server. All of a sudden yesterday one of the users using this service reported that he kept getting -ERR being read already /usr/spool/mail/fred being returned from the POP server. I have looked into this and can find no other connection or anyone else with this file open. The users mail box can be read with the standard unix mail program no problem. In desparation I saved the mailbox and deleted the account and associated files, then re-created an account with the same name. Low and behold the POP server returns ok until you send this user a mail and then as soon as the file is 0 bytes the POP server says that the file is already being read. I don't understand what is going on here! Can anyone suggest what to do next? If I create a new account with a different name all works normally. As an aside is there anyway in Linux of finding what files are in use or locked by a process? As I mentioned nothing shows up regarding this file in the process table.

Re: ppp connection failure - solved
David,
I have now solved the problem with potato connecting to the remote
RAS server. It seems that the modem is at fault, which to me is not a very
satisfactory solution. The modem I was using is a US Robotics Courier Dual
standard V34 Fax with V32 Bis. this connected fine to the RAS server while
the box was running 'slink', however with 'potato' I couldn't get passed
the link control protocol stage. I put the 'potato' system and another
system running 'slink' into 'kdebug 4' mode and looked at the data
exchange in ppp.log. They were identical, the only difference apart from
the version of Debian was the modems! So I switched modems and low and
behold the USR no longer works on the 'slink' system. Also both a
Multitech and a USR Sportster both work on 'slink' and 'potato'. So it's
nothing to do with 'slink' or 'potato'; it looks very much like the USR
Courier has failed in the switch to 'potato'. So I'm feeling rather
foolish at this point. I wonder whether the modem will work in Windows?

But probably the most valuable resource would be the peer's log file.
Whether they exist is another matter.

Not necessarily so. We're all good at ignoring stuff where we can't

RE: Installing an earlier kernel?
point to 2.2.12 tings., but /proc/version still says 2.2.15 is running. Huh? What'd I miss. After rearranging anything with the kernel, you must run lilo again. Just type lilo as root. This may not fix it, but it probably will. I recommend adding the second kernel. Edit the /etc/lilo.conf file. It is pretty straight forward and will allow you to specify multiple kernels. My lilo.conf has: image=/kernel-2.2.15 label=2.2.15 read-only image=/kernel-2.2.14 label=2.2.14 read-only image=/vmlinuz label=2.2.13 read-only I renamed to /usr/src/v2.2.15/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to kernel-2.2.15 and copied to /.

Re: Missing cd-rom chokes off the install process
ÿMessage--- Missing cd-rom chokes off the install process Hi: name here is Hughie. Hope you can help me, if you will.

I know that w wipes out Dos 6 and Windows 3.1, when you are in the process of trying to create partitions using the cd-rom fdisk :-) The current Boot floppy information is: (Linux 2.2.12 (from kernel-image- 2.2.12_2.2.12-1) Pressing enter at the boot: activates loading root.bin loading Linux uncompressing linux The diagnostic seems to be o.k except for EATA PIO No Bios32 extension present makes itself known My question - is Bios32 extension really needed at this stage of the game?

(which turns out to be /dev/fd0) The install then asks for the driver floppy to be placed in the first drive. I don't have the driver information on a separate disk or elsewhere. Is it possible that the needed driver information is within the loaded Linux program and could be tweaked to get the cd-rom information that it seems to be searching for? Don't think so. Unless you create your own rescue disk with the corresponding drivers. But it's easy to get the drivers disk (see below). Otherwisw is there a source to get the cd-rom information via a drivers source (Linux based) on the net. I have a disk (for Mashita CR-562) that used to work when I had Dos and Windows 3.1 but it won't be accepted by Linux As another alternative is there a source for boot floppies that would better fit my present installation program. My cd-rom is a Matshita CR-562 which is recognized by Debian in general but seems to be not recognized by the boot floppy that was created from my Debian 2.1 cd-rom (The boot floppy disk (one only) was made by another person on another machine using windows.) You can create the driver disk as well from the 2.1 cd-rom. Look in the same directory, where you found the rescue file, for a driver* file. Copy that file exactly in the same way as for your rescue floppy onto a separate floppy. Now I can't tell you whether this drive is supported or not Matshita CR-562. If it is you'll find it during the install (after you loaded the drivers disk onto your computer). The install program will ask you for any additional drivers to load. In there you select cd-rom drivers and select the one you think is the correct one. After that your cd-rom might work and you can continue the install from cd.

Name resolution from Windows network
Hi, I havd a Debian box set up connected to my office LAN. I am getting an IP address from the site DHCP server, and am getting name resolution from the site DNS servers. The problem is that the site is totally Windows-based, and my Debian box is not integrating as nicely as I would like. I have absolutely no influence over the site network setup, and even if I did, I'd never get anything changed for the sake of Linux :-( My specific problems are as follows First, the site name resolution is done by a combination of DNS and WINS. Fixed-IP machines have DNS names, so I can resolve their names by the usual means (ping machinename, and so on). DHCP-allocated machines have unusable names in DNS (dhcppc-NNN-NNN, based on the IP address, defeating the point :-( ), and sensible names are resolved using WINS. So I can successfully resolve with Samba, but not with normal IP tools. As the site DNS server doesn't forward requests to WINS, and as the Linux name resolution itself can't use WINS directly, I was wondering about setting up named on the Linux box and making it run as a simple cacheing DNS resolver which falls back, when it can't resolve from the site DNS, to trying WINS. I've searched the various DNS mailing lists I can find, but there's nothing useful there. It seems to me that if I could run a hook of some sort from named if direct resolution fails, I could do this (a trivial Perl script could do the WINS-IP lookup via Samba, and return the result). Is this possible at all??? Second, my Linux box gets an IP address from DHCP. However, it doesn't (can't??) respond to the DHCP server passing its configured hostname (which gets published to the WINS, or maybe DNS, server - not sure which). As a result, other machines on the network can't resolve the machine name to its IP address. Can Samba be set up to respond to WINS broadcasts requesting the machine name - or can the Linux machine be set up to publish its name properly (where by properly, I probably mean precisely the opposite - suitable for a MS server, as opposed to the proper way :-( )? Thanks in advance for any help. Could any responses be copied direct to me, as I'll have to go off the list for a few days soon (I'm offsite and I can't handle the backlog of traffic which will be left on my return...) I'll check the archives as well, but personal copies would help. Paul Moore.

However the defailt behavior of esc on base windows productivity apps is close the window. Try it on others. :) Interesting. Not true with anything Netscape, not true with Microsoft Word or IE. However, it is true with the new message window in Outlook. Traditionally escape is a shortcut for cancelling a dialog box (or a menu). I really think the Outlook window thing violates Microsoft's own standards, since the window is not a modal dialog returning a status back to the main window code (i.e., you can still do stuff in the main Outlook window independently). But look how it has a 'save and close' button. Is this thing a dialog or not?! There actually were strict, documented interface standards that were pretty much followed, back in the Win 3.1 days. :-/

Re: PPP dial-up client + PPP dial-in server on same PC
Alex Kwan wrote: Hi! Can I setup two ppp connections (one client, one server ) on same PC at my office? One for dial-up to ISP to connect internet (I have already setup this one) and the other as a PPP Server to let me dial-in for remote access at home after the business hour. If can, How to set up? Absolutely. I do it with my machine at home. All you have to do now is set up mgetty to let you dial in. It should not interfere with the dialout at all. I'd recommend downloading the mgetty package and going as far as you can getting that working. You'll want to use the AutoPPP feature. Write back if you have problems.

installation problems
Folks, I?ve tried to install Debian 2.1 (like 50 times...). Everything is ok, until the dselect step. During the installation (after the first Linux boot) you?re given to choose the installation method: from profiles or pure dselect. I?ve chosed the profiles option (it seems like is easy...), so I provided the Access method, then I ran Update with the following results: Uncompressing /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/l1/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz ... done Replacing available packages information, using packages-main Information about 1152 packages was updated Uncompressing /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/l1/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz ... done Updating available packages information, using packages-ctb Information about 97 packages was updated Update OK It seems like everything is ok... right? Now, I skip the Select step (recommended during installation) and run the Install option with the following poor results: Looking for part 1 of dpkg-perl .../var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/l1/dists/sl ink/main/binary-i386/devel/dpkg-perl_0.1-2hamm1.deb Running dpkg -iB for dpkg-perl ... dpkg-deb: unexpected end of file in version number in /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/l1/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/devel/dpkg-per l_0.1-2hamm1.deb dpkg: error processing /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/l1/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/devel/dpkg-per l_0.1-2hamm1.deb (--install) Subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2 Error were encountered while processing: /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/l1/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/devel/dpkg-per l_0.1-2hamm1.deb installation script returned error exit status 1 Press RETURN to continue. ... and then... nothing happens...

Is it possible that the needed driver information is within the loaded Linux program and could be tweaked to get the cd-rom information that it seems to be searching for? Don't think so.

My cd-rom is a Matshita CR-562 which is recognized by Debian in general but seems to be not recognized by the boot floppy that was created from my Debian 2.1 cd-rom (The boot floppy disk (one only) was made by another person on another machine using windows.) You can create the driver disk as well from the 2.1 cd-rom. Look in the same directory, where you found the rescue file, for a driver* file. Copy that file exactly in the same way as for your rescue floppy onto a separate floppy. Now I can't tell you whether this drive is supported or not Matshita CR-562. If it is you'll find it during the install (after you loaded the drivers disk onto your computer). The install program will ask you for any additional drivers to load. In there you select cd-rom drivers and select the one you think is the correct one. After that your cd-rom might work and you can continue the install from cd.

Perhaps strange mail question
I would like to accept mail for many domains and put them in separate spool directories. IE mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would go in /var/mail/foo/user and mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would go in /var/mail/bar/user. Q1: Is this possible? Q2: Is this possible with exim? Q3: How could I authenticate that user existed at bar.domain.org (when user may not have an account on the system) before writing to his/her spool file? I think I'd have to use procmail, but then I'd have no idea how to tell exim to route _all_ mail through procmail except the mail _actually_intended_ for the local machine.

IDE CD-RW + sound
I have just installed a debian potato in a friend of mine's box. He has an IDE cd-writer and he uses scsi-emulation to record cds, but the CD player of KDE can not reproduce any sound. This program is capable of reading CD-toc, and after starting playing the seconds counter changes, but no sound comes out from the speakers. We have tried with other cd-players (like cccd or wmplay) but no one could make it work. Any idea? Thanks -- .'/,-Y ~-. Vicente Torres Carot l.Y ^. Universidad Politécnica de Valencia /\ __ Doh!

Re: swissgerman keybord
Hi Lukas How can I install my swissgerman keybord for the console in Debian slink and potato? Most keys work without problem, but the specific german keys o, a and u don't work. When I use shfont to printout the whole fontlist this character where printed out whithout problems. I had the wrong keyboard setting on my debian box, too (US of course). That was after initially installing it. I used kbdconfig to change to the keymap I needed to. I tried to change the kernel .map file and the consolefont. At first - before knowing about kbdconfig - I symlinked default.map.gz to the swissgerman pendant. That did the trick, too, although it ain't quite so elegant. :-) What is the thing that I have to do? HTH Sven
