Buenas, Espero que este correo no incomode si se sale del tema, resulta que tengo una maquina con una IP fija y la tengo registrada como servidor de nombres, para registrar un dominio siempre pongo esta maquina como servidor primario y como secundario pongo los de mi proveedor de Internet, que me cobra 15 dolares cada vez que registro un dominio, me pregunto si hay alguien en esta lista que administre un DNS y lo tenga registrado ante Internic y le interese ser secundario de los dominios que tengo registrado y yo soy su servidor secundario de los dominios que el tenga. gracias, Nestor A.

Tiene pinta, por el mensaje que te da y esta línea, de que el directorio /usr/share/info no existe y entonces install-info no puede funcionar correctamente. Si no tienes /usr/share/info (que me extraña) prueba a comentarle la línea del install-info (que entonces no tiene sentido) y a eliminar el paquete.

Javier Viñuales Gutiérrez decía: Fenómeno lo he hecho y funciona ahora biene la pregunta: ¿qué hace esta línea que no haga con mi método anterior y que corriga el problema que yo tenía?, lo he arreglado pero sigo sin saber por qué pasa esto. Bueno, según viene en el man, esta opción le indica a fetchmail cuál es el MDA (agente de reparto del correo) encargado de distribuir el correo. Le dices que sea procmail en lugar de sendmail, por lo que, al bajar el correo, en lugar de pasárselo al sendmail se lo pasa a procmail. Si en lugar de esa línea tienes la to usuario es sendmail quien lo distribuye; y es el que se bloquea cuando no reconoce alguna dirección. Eso fué lo que yo entendí... aunque no es mucho.

Folks, Thanks for all the help with JDK 1.2.2 on potato. It turns out my problem was largely my own stupidity in writing bad Java! I did learn some important things. To install JDK 1.2.2 from Blackdown or Sun: 1. Make a directory under /usr/local (I used /usr/local/sun). 2. Download the archine into this directory, then unpack it. A directory jdk1.2.2 will be created. 3. Adjust the alternatives to work correctly: update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac \ usr/local/sun/jdk1.2.2/bin/javac 120 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java \ usr/local/sun/jdk1.2.2/bin/java 120 4.

my 6.4hd keep'ed trying to be accessed, but it could'nt...Here is what it
was showing on the screen...

Has anyone had a problem like this...??? If so what can I do to correct the
problem, other than sending the HD back to Western Digital to see if they

MTA and popper question
Hello Which MTA is easiest to install? I need to setup a machine as a relay-machine that sends its mail when internet connectivity is given (like from ip-up). Just the way sendmail does with sendmail -q, but only for outbound mail, not destined for the local imaginary domain. Having used sendmail before, I was able to set up that, but only with some special sendmail.cf-generating scripts as it would be too hard otherwise. Also, if I wanted to allow for clients to fetch their mail from this relay server, what do I need to install and setup? (Is it popper or so?) This machine and the LAN is in some virtual unreal domain, namely homelan.com. Thanks Sven

I've had that exact same problem with that HD. It was not even 6 months
old and I started getting the occasional error as you describe. I
posted to the list and most people said the drive was going bad. I
didn't save my info right away and shortly after that the drive went bad
and I couldn't boot into it. A week or so later I accidentally booted
into that drive and it worked. I copied what I wanted to save and sent
it to Western Digital. I received a new drive. Installed Slink on it
(second drive, slave). It works but it bangs and clangs so bad I quit
using it. If I remember right it seemed like one of the other Linux
distributions worked better with that particular drive. I purchased the
8.x G Western Digital drive and that works beautifully. I've had it
going without a problem for a year or so. That has been my experience.
If you can, let the drive sit for a bit and see if you can boot back
in. I've heard other people have had the same type of experience with
hardware, that if they let it sit for a bit it will work at least
temporarily later. Maybe someone else on the list will know of a way
you can get you info on a dead drive.

mpg123 and sound problems

wine
I have downloaded wine (the version with potato). I am trying to
configure it properly using a .winerc file in my home directory but I
can't get it to work properly, when I try and run it this is what I get:
sigaltstack: Function not implemented
Warning: could not find wine.conf [Drive x] entry for current working
directory /home/dab1; starting in windows directory.
Invalid path 'e:\' for temp directory
Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration
file.
This is either /etc/wine.conf or $HOME/.winerc
or it is determined by the -config option or from
the WINE_INI environment variable.
Wine has used /home/dab1/.winerc as configuration file.
Also, my fat32 partition is mounted in /mnt/hda3 - It's read-only and I
don't know how to let normal users write to it. I've tried to chmod it
but that doesn't seem to work. This is a copy of my config file, can
someone suggest what I need to do? (Please 'CC' me your suggestions):

Re: suid
In /etc/fstab you will see lines similar to this: /dev/hda2 /Windowsvfatdefaults0 2 The first is the device name, second mount point, third file sytem, next comes the options,dump then pass. in the options category, you can specify that a mountable device is for users by adding the word user. ie. user,auto. And you may need to give the user the right to rwx the mount point down. To do this on the above example, as root type the following command. chmod -R 777 /Windows This will give read write and execute priveleges to all users. If you want only certain normal users to have priveleges you will need to use chown to change ownership and then fiddle with chmod.

I.e., try # mount server:/home/ftp/pub /mnt # mount server:/home/ftp/pub/linux/debian /mnt/linux/debian With the help of some of our local LUG people, I discovered the problem. The problem was that I was using the kernel NFS server. As I understand it, the kernel NFS server won't allow what I was trying to do -- period (and believe me, I tried every way I could think of, e.g. hide/nohide, various mounting combations, etc.:-).

Re: staroffice
I was wondering how I can make my other users be able to use it too because when other users try to execute soffice nothing happens. As I recall, you have to use an option -- something like -net -- on StarOffice's initial install. Then each user has to run a setup, which copies about 1-2 MB into their home directory.

The version in potato changes the default postgres home directory from /var/postgres to /var/lib/postgres, so if you upgraded from slink to potato that might affect things.

apt-get new helixcode gnome
Hi all- I made an attempt to apt-get the latest gnome stuff by alterting the /etc/sources.list file to reflect the spidermonkey site as contained off of www.helixcode.com. This system I want to upgrade started life as a slink system. I never did the apt-get dist upgrade on it but things have changed quite a bit since I initially built it. It now claims to be potato when it boots. So its kind of a mix of things. When I run the apt-get install task-helixcode-gnome, I get the following output: apt-get install task-helix-gnome Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: task-helix-gnome: Depends: task-helix-core but it is not going to be installed Depends: grip but it is not going to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages Has anyone upgraded gnome using the manual information posted on the helixcode website? -- Michael Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED] --

It has commands which are largely compatible with majordomo for regular users (ie, if you send it majordomo commands it will generally DTRT) which is a plus if you're using it to replace majordomo. There's a web interface in the new version, but that's not packaged for Debian yet (the maintainer is also working on debconf support) and I haven't played with it at all. People on the mailing list seem very impressed with it. The main weakness is that people with broken mail clients may find it hard to do some stuff via e-mail - authentication relies on users being able to forward back cleanly cookies of various kinds.

PCMCIA / Sound Problems with Notebook
Hey everyone, I've got two problems with my notebook that I couldn't solve on my own, so each hint of you is appreciated very well - first of all, both problems appeared with Debian 2.1 as well as Red Hat 6.2 or Storm Linux on Kernel 2.2.15, so the errors doesn't seem to be distribution-specific ! First, I've got an Ensoniq ESS-SOLO1 (1969)-Soundchip installed in my notebook together with an external volume control. Unfortunately the speakers beep continuingly once the volume control has reached a certain level and the only way to bypass this problem for some time is to set the level to quite a low point and use any kind of mixer that restores the sound level at reboot. But once you happen to touch the external control again, the beeping continues... I know that this SOLO-1-Chip is supported by the Kernel (especially as I did compile it by myself) so this must be solved somehow... any clues ? Second, I've got a Texas Instruments TI-12XX-Cardbus controller installed in my notebook and I have used cards successfully with Windows (shame on me !) so the controller is working okay. But, and here is my second problem, once I boot up with the PCMCIA-services, the system stops and nothing happens... I have also installed the latest PCMCIA-Package and read the documentation several times, but nothing helped - does somebody have an idea how to get this workin ? Anyway, thanks for all hints that flow in, I do really appreciate them ! Oliver

Re: apt-get new helixcode gnome
My system also started life as slink, and has been potato for the past few weeks. When I tried Helix Gnome I also got some error like yours about a package (as I recall it was some library rather than grip). I simply changed potato to woody in my sources.list (thought I would take the leap) and things have worked just fine since. (I have not dist-upgrade'd or even simply upgrade'd to woody, instead planning to install packages as I see fit.) I did have another problem though. I did: apt-get install task-gnome-helix and left it going unattended. When i go back what was left on the screen looked okay, but for some reason not all of the Helix gnome packages were obtained. I ended up with a mix of new and old gnome packages (things like panel and gnome-core had not been updated). I then grepped the package names that Helix supply on their ftp site and did: apt-get install list of packages This got everything else I needed (I did not install the dev packages) and now I'm happily running a very nice looking Helix Gnome. This dose not specifically sound like your problem, but it is a success installing Helix Gnome.

I have to have somthing to print out all these bloody HOWTOs ;o) I used both apsfilter and Redhat Printtool to get it to print, but it seems to only want to print about 1/2 the page at a time. So when I print one page, I get two pages: the first one has the top half of the document, the second has the bottom half of the document... It's really veryfrustrating, and I'd like to figure out how to get it to work. IF anyone has experience with this printer and linux printing at all, I'd really like to hear it. Thanks, Matt
mod_ssl on Debian 2.2
I installed mod_ssl and it's dependencies through dselect. After that, without changing anything I started apache with /usr/sbin/apache -DSSL. But https://mylocalhost.com would not accept the connection. I then tried /usr/sbin/apachectl startssl but it told me startssl wasn't a valid option. I uncommented the following line in httpd.conf: LoadModule ssl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_ssl.so However, this seems to make my browser think the normal http:// doc needs php3 support (?) Anywho that is all I changed. I later tried connecting with curl, which replied: Connection refused I imagine that I have more editing to do, but I can't find exactly what it is in the mod_ssl docs.

It's really veryfrustrating, and I'd like to figure out how to get it to work. IF anyone has experience with this printer and linux printing at all, I'd really like to hear it. I've got an HP LJIII here. As I remember the II and the III are very similar, so hopefully this'll help. I'm using magicfilter and have the LJIII working perfectly. I used magicfilterconfig to set up my printcap. So my first suggestion would be dump the printtool - them RedHat GUI config tools have never worked worth a damn. Then I'd say remove apsfilter and install magicfilter - I seem to remember trying apsfilter first, and never could get it to work. I can't guarantee that magicfilter will work with an LJII, but it works very nicely here with an LJIII. Should be at least worth trying. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | Where do you want to go today? | As far from Redmond as possible! '91 GS500E| Morgantown WV | Only dead fish go with the flow.
Re: irc client
Personally I like to run BitchX in an rxvt terminal in X. This is especially nice if you fire up screen first, as you can then pop back and forth from X to the console without having to close a session. I like to specialize my rxvt a little so it doesn't look so ugly ... the startup line I use is rxvt -rv -cr yellow -pr green +ls -sb -sr -st -sk +vb -sl 500 -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 Sean Daniel Burrows wrote: What the best GUI based irc client in potato??

I uncommented the following line in httpd.conf: LoadModule ssl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_ssl.so That's not enough. You need to tell apache to Listen on port 443 (https) as well.

A stopgap measure that worked for me was to go into /usr/share/emacs/20.6/lisp/gnus and delete all the .elc files, leaving only the corresponding .el files. Apparently compiling these files triggers a bug. (You will have to make sure you have emacs20-el installed first, of course.) I didn't report this as a bug because I assumed that it was my own problem. But I guess that it's not if others are having the same trouble. Same thing here. I installed gnus to work around it.
