warnings al hacer ldconfig -v
Hola a toda la lista. Llevo intentando mandar este mensaje desde el viernes pero no me llega de nuevo así que no sé si llegará a la lista o no. Bueno, de todas formas, ahí va de nuevo: He instalado un nuevo CLIPS y con él unas librerías (libclips, y libclips-dev) y después, al ejecutar '/sbin/ldconfig -v' como root, que creo que hay que ejecutarlo tras instalar algo, pero no estoy del todo seguro pq no controlo demasiado el tema este de las shared libraries o librerías compartidas y a veces hay cosas que ya tenía instaladas que luego no me funcionan tras instalar otras y tal, y tal... En fin, que al hacer el susodicho 'ldconfig -v', me he dado cuenta que me salían unos warnings que no se muy bien a que se deben y tampoco si ya existían antes de instalar esto de CLIPS. Son estos: ... /usr/lib: /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libBrokenLocale.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libcrypt.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libdb.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libdl.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libm.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libndbm.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libnsl.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libnss_compat.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libnss_db.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libnss_dns.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libnss_files.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libnss_nis.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libpthread.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libresolv.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libutil.so (No existe el fichero o el directorio), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: /usr/lib/libclips.so.6 is not a symlink libclips.so.6 = libclips.so.6.0 (SKIPPED) ... ¿Alguien sabe qué son y me puede ayudar a solucionarlos?

Perdón por gritar así pero estoy*absolutamente desesperado*. Os cuento: Desde hace dos meses no hago copias de seguridad de misistema debido a un fallo en el funcionamiento de mi grabadora bajo Linux. Luego de resistirme mucho decido dado que dispongo de espacio más que suficiente a instalar mínimamente Windows 98 para comprobar si la grabadora realmente es fallo de software o de hardware. Al reiniciar e indicarle al bicho que se instale en el espacio que tengo libre, decide que no le gusta y sin avisar arrasa el disco duro primario del canal IDE 1 en el que tenía nada más y nada menos que: /dev/hda (6500Mb) /dev/hda1 - /home /dev/hda2 - /usr/local /dev/hda3 - /var /dev/hda4 - swap de 96 Mb El espacio físico no ha sido sobreescrito, ha eliminado las particiones y hecho una única partición de 6500Mb. ¿Sería posible recuperar la información de alguna manera? :_( El caso es que en /home/vigu tenía proyectos de Ingeniería a entregar esta semana y documentos internos, logotipos, etc de una empresa que estamos creando entre varios. Resumiendo, en milésimas de segundo he perdido: * Los proyectos de ingeniería con los que gano el pan los dos meses que viene. * El trabajo de un mes de desarrollo de ideas para la nueva empresa. Simplemente estoy DESTROZADO y NECESITO AYUDA PO FAVOR, es sumamente URGENTE. Si no sabeis como hacerlo y conoceis a alguien que pudiese saberlo hacedle llegar este mensaje os ruego. Muchas gracias de alguien asolutamente ROTO. P.D: Perdón por la longitud de las líneas pero me encuentro escribiendo el mensaje desde casa de un amigo y el Outlook (hace dos años y pico que no lo tocaba) es así.

I'm assuming you're asking if X supports your card. If the kernel supports it, and if X supports it, it'll work in Debian. From http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/#SiS530: Q.F20- Is a server for SiS 530 or SiS 620 based motherboards with integrated graphics available?

Scan frequencies on exit from X
Hello everyone, I have a small problem when switching from X back to a virtual terminal or leaving X completely. The machine boots fine and the monitor frequencies are normal, if I start X, X runs fine, again with expected horizontal and vertical refresh frequencies to the monitor. The problem occurs when switching from X to a virtual terminal or exiting X completely. The horizontal and vertical scan frequencies get set way too high for the monitor and I can't read the display. Does anyone know what X uses to set the card up for a virtual terminal switch or when exiting X? Apart from this everything works fine. This only occured after replacing the motherboard and processor with a much faster one. I was wondering if X read the rdev vga value from the kernel or used the vga line in LILO. Any help would be most appreciated. Best Regards JohnG 32865e97b5342e762ab140e00f3da23b - Just 'Debian'

Re: AWE64 making loud noise on bootup
There is an AWE64 soundcard gathering dust in the mess of wires behind my computer. I've never tried to do anything fancy with my Ensoniq ES3771, but it playes music nicely. I got it because it is one of the named cards in the kernel config, and because it's only $20. I happen to be a musician, but if I'm going to use my computer for stuff related to that, it'll have to be Pro-Tools on a Mac: specialized pretty hardware, and software that'll work. Almost as good as a 4-track... Incidentally, I got my AWE-64 to work once. *ONCE*. I have no idea how, as I'd lost count of the number of kernel compiles I'd done by then, and the ISAPNP stuff..? Normally cryptic stuff like that interests me, but not in this case. /rant Have a good evening.

How to make iso8859-2 fonts the default ones in X? (and the dirty solution...)
Hi All, In the old good slink, there was xfntil2 package (or something like this) which installed the iso-8859-2 fonts in the /usr/lib/X11/fonts/*-il2 dirs. So I could just add this dirs on the begining of the FontPath in the XF86Config, so that these fonts were defaults. It was very usefull for such i18n-dumb applications like xfig, siag and many others. Unfortunately in potato the xfonts-intl-european package, places all fonts in the /usr/lib/X11/fonts/* dirs, so it is impossible to use the old good trick. I have one idea how can it be done, but this is very dirty trick. I'm going to create the /usr/local/xfonts-il2/* directories (* stands for 75dpi 100dpi and so on...) and symlink all iso-8859-2 fonts into the appropriate directories (probably it can be done with a perl script, maybe someone knows about such a beast ready for use? otherwise I'll have to write it by my own). Then of course I'll call the mkfontdir for these new dirs. In the XF86Config I'll add these new dirs on the begining of the FontPath. Does anybody knows the better solution? -- TIA Wojtek Zabolotny [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I was just wondering if it was possible to add a data track after adding audio tracks... Is it otherwise possible to rip a specific track, but not making it an audio track? i.e. suppose I write a data track to track 7, I'd like to rip it back to the CD image it was... I'd guess cdparanoia won't work, 'cause it extracts audio tracks to wave files... the last thing I can think of, is dumping the whole CD, and then cutting off the first part and possibly the last part, so that you'll only be left with track 7... Any ideas? Yes. There is a kernel module called cdfs. Find it on the Web and compile it and copy it to /lib/modules/kernel version/fs. It's easy to compile. You can do it. Just type make. Once installed, you can mount a cd with mount -t cdfs /dev/cdrom device target Take a look in target and you will see all tracks of the cd as files. You can copy them like files. That's nice for copying cd images. In addition, you can mount one of these files as a loop filesystem. Then you have the same effect as mounting conventionelly, but can choose your track. Armin

I've only used majordomo until now and don't know anything about others. IMHO there is no better manager than Listar. In all ways I detest Majordomo Listar is a dream. Security is cookie based. Sounds bad but it is quite nice. You send it an admin message and it sends it back to you with a unique string embedded in the message. You then forward that message back to Listar and it completes the request. Why is this better? Any request is sent to you for completion. Unless someone can intercept your email it is pretty hard to get around that security. Listar (as of the latest version) has a web-based interface for users and, IIRC, the administrators as well. I've not played with it yet from the admin side but the user side lets people do pretty much anything they are allowed to do. It also does all modes in one run. Digests are not a separate list, they are just a flag on each user. This was a major point on Majordomo, the hellish mail loop for digesting to work. Listar has flags on the user. Some the user can set, some he cannot. All are controllable from the email and web interface. No need for a list for that permission and a list for this permission. Listar is also quite fast in its execution. It will sort the userlist so mailers which will do batch sends will have all of the addresses in one area. For example, Listar with Exim on this machine absolutely loves sending to some domains where it pushes 20-30 addresses and then one single body. Sure saves on my limited bandwidth. I've not heard of a list so large that Listar cannot handle it. IIRC one person on the Listar support list has 50,000 or so users on one list. -- Steve C.

RE: problem reading vim online dox
From: Nate Bargmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not sure as I've seen the reference to the $VIMRUNTIME env variable in the vim docs. Since it seems vim is hardwired to look in /usr/share/vim, perhaps /usr/share/vim should be a sim-link to a real directory of /usr/share/vim56 or whatever the prefered installed version. Vim should be set up with two relevant directories - the first is $VIM, which falls back to /usr/share/vim if not defined (at least on the version of vim which comes with Potato - it's a compile-time option if you build vim yourself). The second is $VIMRUNTIME, which defaults to $VIM/vimNN where NN is Vim's version number (56 for 5.6). So you should have the system vimrc in /usr/share/vim/vimrc, and the runtime files in /usr/share/vim/vim56/, and then everything should work with NO environment variables needed. This is what you get if you do apt-get install vim vim-rt. You need vim-rt, as that contains the runtime stuff (the docs, syntax files, etc). I'm forever installing vim but forgetting vim-rt - was that the original poster's problem? You shouldn't need to set environment variables or move files. If you do, there's a big bug in the vim packages (and I know there isn't in the versions I'm using - 5.6.070-1) Hope this helps, Paul.

speakfreely in tm5300 notebook
hello everybody hi guys! long time not seeing you i have a small problem, that turned out to be important i have a notebook travelmate 5300 (texas inst.) which works fine under linux, it has a sounblaster sound card, i guess that integrated to the mainboard the problem that interest me now is the reception of sound using speakfreely this machine can reproduce sound, can record sound, can play mp3 files, can record using sound-recorder, and can send sound using speakfreely, and in fact, it can also receive sound using speakfreely (sf) the problem is that when it is reproducing sound using sf, after some moments of paceful reproduction of sound, the machine hangs, stops and i need tu turn off the power button, as in an interruption request problem but when i check /proc/interrupts there is no interruption collision, and, by the way, i could install the module of sound without interrupt collision problems so, it is interesting because this problem only arises after some seconds of paceful reproduction, since it starts playing the sound of sf, *last* some seconds and after that the machines hangs :-( which could be the reason for this problem, and how could i overcome this situation ? thanks a lot erasmo
Re: speakfreely in tm5300 notebook
I guess it could be something with resources that run out, or perhaps a buffer overflow that writes some instructions in memory it shouldn't write in which causes wrong instructions to be executed (you could imagine that if a program is writing data in the wrong place of memory where at that moment is a proces that is being executed ( worse case the kernel ), it's going to contain wrong instructions, which are going to be executed). I got no idea how go can check these thing, I know about libsafe, a library that sends a SIGKILL to a proces when a buffer overflow occurs ( I made a debian package, you can get it at: ftp://rademaker.dhs.org in pub/linux/debian/packages/binary-i386/ ). However, this buffer overflow is only something that I think could be it, I'm not saying it is the problem!

To commit my solution to public record... I solved this problem by moving the window invocation out of xinitrc and into windowmaker's domain.

It turns out that if you run (Eterm -M) it will give an error and not startup with wmaker. But if you run (Term -M blah), notice no quotes, where blah is a filename that doesn't exist, everything works fine. And in the grand tradition of net caveats: YMMV.

Kernel oops.
Hello, I have sent a question concerning some problems I was having with my machine. As I suspected, the reason was the IDE patch I got from : http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/ It contains an old version of the ALI V driver (beta2). I got a newer one (beta3) from: http://www.ali.com.tw (look at the drivers section) and my machine is running happily for five days now. Therefore I would suggest for all of you who have ALI V boards and applied the IDE patch from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/ to consider to upgrade to the beta3 version. I'll be sending a message to Headrick from kernel.org. So, maybe he'll also have the newest version in the next kernel release. Take care, Paulo. Paulo Jose da Silva e Silva writes: Hi all, I seem to have a kernel error here. It usually happens when cron.daily is running. The screen sometimes freezes (if I in X) and my keyboard dies.

If you do, there's a big bug in the vim packages (and I know there isn't in the versions I'm using - 5.6.070-1) That's interesting, Paul. I've done 3 Potato installs, two were fresh and one is an upgrade over Slink. I've wound up setting the $VIMRUNTIME variable after each install. However, I think this may be more of a secondary shell issue than a vim issue. I noticed that after a clean setup, when vim is called from mutt, it complains that it is unable to locate the syntax files. Setting the variable fixes that problem here. I do recall vim being able to find the syntax files if started from an XTerm. I also recall the problem existing if mutt calls vim at the console as well, so it may well be that the problem is how my ~/.bashrc file is configured as the trouble occurs in a secondary shell. I start all my XTerms as login shells.

You sure it's not available? Look for /lib/modules/2.2.15/net/ppp.o .
I'm thinking ppp should be available with the stock kernel (since you
can install Debian with 5 floppies and a dialup line).
My question is if I use the old kernel to apt-get something, will
this put whatever I install in the wrong place or doesn't the kernel
matter as far as where the packages go? TiaDean
Matters not a whit. However, a few packages may care which series of
kernel you're running.

If everything went perfectly, say so; If there were some problems, do your best to describe them, and any relevant information about your system. I started with slink on CD (The O'Reilly CD) and have been in the process of upgrading my systems to/through potato first as unstable and then as frozen. My early problems were attributable (usually) to using the then-unstable potato. My recent problems were a result of running apt-get in an Emacs20 shell buffer. This confused debconf greatly and meant that netbase and some other packages. More specifically, I was running Emacs20 on the /dev/console (aka, glass TTY) device, not under an X11 window manager. My debconf.db was corrupted and (with Mr. Hess's aid) I cleaned it out. My current minor frustration comes from trying to apply X11r5 experience to the current state of things. XF86Setup seems to work fine for me - the display and mouse look like what I would expect - but when I restart I get an odd login display wherein the mouse moves erratically and the display seems zoomed so that it wants to scroll. I.e., the login/password box, normally centered, is in the lower right portion of the screen. I presume this is an artifact of my stumbling (and failing) to properly configure X under slink. Since this is how things looked with slink as well, I figure I unwittingly did myself in, but it's no less annoying.
