RE: ¿latex.fmt?

2000-06-25 Thread Emilio Hernández Martín

Muchas gracias. Siento haber preguntado algo de lo que se ha hablado
hace poco pero es que hace unos meses que no he podido prestar demasiada
atención la lista.

He aplicado la solución que decíais y ha resultado. Aunque la verdad es
que el comando 'date' no he sabido utilizarlo: ¿qué cadena hay que poner
tras date --set= ?  para que sea válida? Es que el man no me ha aclarado
gran cosa al respecto.

Bueno, de todas formas ya funciona.

Muchísimas gracias y un saludo.

Emilio.

Hola a todos:

He instalado el postgresql para hacer una pequeña aplicación que acceda
a una base de datos
y me he encontrado con que no puedo enlazar con las librerias de la
base de datos.

En el directorio /usr/lib tengo las siguientes:

libpq++.so.2.0
libpq.a
libpq.so - libpq.so.2.0
libpq.so.2.0

Pero al compilar da estos errores.

gcc  -L/usr/lib/  -I/usr/include/pgsql example1.cpp

/tmp/ccxeEA2h.o: In function `exit_nicely(pg_conn *)':

Me imagino que te falta la opción -lpq (para que enlace con libpq.so).

Re: Podrian ayudarme a cofigurar mi tarjeta de sonido?

2000-06-25 Thread JFA
 Utilizando make menuconfig coloco soporte para la tarjeta de sonido con 
 chipset
 es1370 (la ayuda me sugiere verificar si tengo ese chip, lo hago y todo bien,
 es el chip). Instalo el sonido como modulos solo la es1370 y salgo del
 menuconfig.
 ¿Que debo debo hacer para que lel sonido funcione?
1.- Primero, y solo por las moscas, asegúrate de tener el módulo es1370.o en
/lib/modules/2.2.12/misc/
Si está ya has hecho lo más dificil.
2.- ahora tienes que configurar el módulo e instalarlo.
Para instalarlo tienes que hacer:
 # modprobe es1370
Si no te dice nada o no da error, prueba a hacer:
 # lsmod
que te dirá los módulos que tienes cargados en memoria y el es1370 debería
aparecer por algún lado.
Si aparece, ya deberias tener sonido. Prueba a hacer:
# cat /proc/sound
y ahí deberia aparecer tu tarjeta de sonido. Si está vacío, es que algo
salió mal. mira el mio para que te hagas una idea:
OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130
Load type: Driver loaded as a module

Mixers:
0: Sound Blaster

Tengo una als-100, que utiliza el driver de la Sound Blaster, el mixer de la
sb, etc .
Si aquí aparece tu tarjeta, pues ya está. Prueba a hacer sonar algo, debería
funcionar, si no funciona no es de la configuración de la tarjeta ( ¿ has
encendido los altavoces ? ;) ).
Si no se carga así como así al realizar el paso del modprobe, lo más normal,
es que tienes que pasarle los parámetros adecuados, pero si te ocurre esto,
escribe otra vez, y dime lo que te cuenta el modprobe, el error que te da.
En mi caso tengo que pasarle parámetros sería algo así:
# modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1.
Si te funciona y quieres que se te carge cada vez que arranques linux,
incluyelo en una linea en /etc/modules, mira el mio:

#plip
# tarjeta de red a 100 Mb !
#rtl8139
# tarjeta de red ne2000

Cargo al arrancar los módulos ne2k-pci - tarjeta de red - sb -
sonido - y bttv - capturadora gráfica -.



 Perdon, ademas...
 Una vez el kernel nuevo funcionando apt corre mal pues no me
 detecta los cambios de CD-ROM de la distribucción cuando intento instalar un

 Ahora si está clarísimo. Para que te salga bien en gv basta con
 corregirle la Bounding Box; para lograr imprimirlo el problema es que
 conviene mantener tu impresora configurada para A4 (pues es una

 página A4. Lo que pasa es que según la forma como imprima la impresora y
 como esté construída la bandeja de papel, será necesario aprovechar una
 de las cuatro esquinas de la hoja A4. El programa pasresize debería
 tener una opción que permita mover el contenido para cualquier esquina;
 me pondré a modificar el psresize, pero mientras lo hago, te mando una
 solución rápida (script perl de 11 líneas adjunto) para tu caso que
 parece que lo único que necesitas es subir 9cm la página A5.
 
 El script que te mando se debe usar así:
psresize -PA4 -pA5 fichero1.ps fichero2.ps
cat fichero2.ps | ./sube9.pl  fichero3.ps
 fichero3.ps debe funcionar bien tanto en gv como en tu impresora.
 (obviamente sube9.pl deberá ser ejecutable).

Lo he probado y ahora si imprime la página entera.  Muchas gracias.
Yo ya pensaba que era problema del fichero postscript, que como lo
había generado a partir de un fichero de M$ Word, pues a lo mejor no
era del todo correcto y por eso no funcionaba.  Por cierto, ¿donde

saberse algunos truquitos de esos siempre viene bien :-)

 para no estropear a mi debian (slink) le he puesto un disco duro nuevo y he 
 procesido a la
 instalacion. Todo perfecto, hasta que la configurar las X no me funciona el 
 mouse (PS/2
 (RadioShack)).
 - He probado habilitando/desabilitando el soporte para ps/2 de la bios
 - Los modulos de inicializacion de ps/2de Debian se cargan correctamente 
 (ps2aux), pues cuando
 se inicia debian y carga el modulo este lo detecta.
 La configuracion que puede influir es:

 -Modem externo Cirrus Logic de 56 (en la serial 1)
 -Tarjeta de Video S3 Trio Virge GX y he probado con una 3dlabs
 -290 en ram

 He probado , cargando dos y luego un driver para dos del mouse y este 
 funciona. No conntento
 con eso le he cargado win98 y todo el driver funciona correctamente

 Que podra ser ??

Gracias por el interes.

Te cuento lo siguiente:

Cambie al nucleo 2.2.16 hoy.
Baje los tar.gz de alsa-drivers, alsa-lib y alsa-utils.
El primero que instalo es alsa-drivers. aqui se me recomienda no colocar en el
nucleo ninguna tarjeta, solamente soporte para sonido. Baje este ultimo de alsa
pues aqui se soporta especificamente la tarjeta audiopci 1370 que es la que yo
tengo.
No utilizo los *.deb pues debo cambiar una cantidad de librerias para que
soporten alsa-utils-0.5.8a.deb (no se como bajar de un solo tiron un archivo
arrastrando sus dependencias). Pero se supone que los tar.gz deberian funcionar
(pensandolo bien deberia bajar los *.deb y asi me mato menos la cabeza)

Instalo los drivers y aparece despues de la orden modprobe  snd-card-ens1370

 Hi,
 
 I can't set my keyboard rate. I've read every web page out there on

man kbdrate -- though it appears you're onto this.

 They kbdrate program gives me the standard message that it changed the
 rate, but it doesn't actually change anything. The same goes for the
 xset program.

How about telling us:

 - What user you're running as.
 - The text of the command you're running.
 - The text of the output.

Hint -- you need to run as root.

 This problem only happens with Debian. When I run Suse, RedHat, or
 FreeBSD I can change the keyboard rate at will.

On the same hardware?

 I want the key repeat to be 30 characters a second. Debian 2.1 and 2.2
 seem to both set it to 10 CPS at bootup and won't let me change it.
 
 Thanks in advance for your help.

Run pppconfig and add the verbose option to chat.  You may have an
incorrectly configured chat script.  Occasionally, an ISP may be
experiencing problems with a particular POP number (dialup Point Of
Presence), which can also cause connection attempts to fail.  This
usually goes away after a time.  Suggest you contact your ISP if you
suspect this issue.

 I remember that some time ago when I was using minicom to connect I had
 the same problem.
 The solution was in configuration; the time when modem hangups was set
 to 60 sec.
 I don`t need to tell what happend after 60 seconds ;) . Can anybody help

Env Variables

2000-06-25 Thread Patrick Dahiroc
hi

i set the environmental variable below to dynamically change my xterm
window to title to the current working directory.

export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne \033]2;${USER}: ${PWD}\007'

this works really well when i login in X, but when i login from the
console my system beeps every time since \007 is the bell character.
is the a variable i can check that would tell me whether i'm running
from X or from the console, so i can conditionally set the
PROMPT_COMMAND variable?

thanks

 floppy) after the compile is fine.  it's the next
 re-boot after that, that things get weird.

Second reboot is from floppy or hard drive?  What did you change?

 ...the last line before hanging:

 here's my partition scheme:

 hda3 (500mb) (for storing large files (e.g. kernel
 sources, netscape, wordperfect...) that i don't want to
 re-download after i re-install slink).

Why don't you post your partition table:

   $ fdisk -l /dev/hda

 before the compile, slink was using kernel 2.0.36
 (/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36).  (after the compile, i moved
 the old kernel to /boot/oldvmlinuz-2.0.36, as i
 thought, perhaps needlessly, that the new kernel
 (/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16)) needed its own vmlinuz
 identity.

Did you re-run lilo, manually?

 in case the compile is at issue, here's what i did from
 bt:/usr/src/linux#:
 
 make menuconfig
 make dep
 make install
 make modules
 make modules_install
 
 
 there isn't, nor will there be, another os on the
 lapbox, just dlinux.
 
 the rescue disk won't even let me backdoor the
 system:  mount failed: invalid argument (when i tried
 to mount hda1).

Give commands and output.

 anyway, ...suggestions/options?

Re-reading the above, I note you don't mention running 'lilo', which
will be an issue.  You also are doing a raw Linux kernel compile an
install rather than using the debian makekpkg utility.  It's a bit
nonstandard (for Linux), but makes the process of building and updating
the kernel more Debian-like.

If you do use makekpgk, you get to install the kernel you create just
like any other Debian package.  This automajikaly does Good Things (tm)
like run lilo, move packages, and put kernel modules where they should
be.

gap (maths package) versions

2000-06-25 Thread Ian Zimmerman
The Debian version for the GAP (Groups/Algorithms/Proofs) package is
3.4.4, and yet there are two documentation packages which document
GAP4.  This situation persists even in woody, which even seems to
contain library add-ons for GAP4, but the base GAP package is still at
3.4.4.

What's going on?  I've installed GAP4 in /usr/local, but I'd prefer a

package versions in dselect, and Release file

2000-06-25 Thread Ian Zimmerman
What are the packaging frontends (dselect in particular) supposed to
do when 2 sources from sources.list provide different version numbers
of the same package?

I have a potato system, but I downloaded a couple of upgraded packages from
woody and placed them in a local mirror directory.  I generated the
Packages files with dpkg-scanpackages.  That went fine, so I added a
deb file: line for the local mirror to sources.list and run
dselect.  In the Select phase I could see the newer versions as
available.  I selected them.  But the Install phase ignored my local
mirror, tried to download the updates from the potato archive, and
failed. 

I noted while dselect was hitting the sources it said something like

deb file:/foo/bar Release Ignored

Of course, I don't have a Release file in the mirror directory.  Is
that necessary for it to be recognized as a worthy source?  If so, how
do I generate one; dpkg-scanpackages doesn't.  Or is there something
else wrong with what I'm trying?

Re: annoucement: auto-login patch for xdm

2000-06-25 Thread Oswald Buddenhagen
  I agree, we could start xdm in rnlevel 3 and su someuser startx in 
  runlevel
  4.
  
 Great,I'll keep an eye and try it as soon as it's done.Thanks.
 
why do you want to wait? ;-)

i attached my auto-login script again. now it has the auto-relogin problem
nicely solved. if the server crashes, then the session will be restarted
immediately. if you exit cleanly, then you have to press enter to log in
again (it is done by a read command. so you could even use this input to
perform a command, eg, you could make it accept halt, if you want).

put the script in /etc/init.d
then run:
update-rc.d -f xdm remove
update-rc.d -f xdm start 99 3 . stop 01 0 1 2 4 5 6 .
update-rc.d -f autologon start 99 4 . stop 01 0 1 2 3 5 6 .

this way you get the following runlevels:
1: normal single-user
2: multi-user without x login
3: multi-user with xdm login
4: multi-user with x auto-login
5: ?


and here is, how to make it with my xdm patch
(http://www.inf.tu-dresden.de/~ob6/unix/xautolog.html):
cd /etc/X11/xdm
cp xdm-config xdm-config-al
edit xdm-config-al
 - add the auto-login options (see home page)
cd /etc/init.d
cp xdm xdm-al
edit xdm-al:
 - change
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pid $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON || echo -n 
 already running
  to
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pid $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON -- -config 
/etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config-al || echo -n  already running
the following hack is necessary, because we must give xdm enough time to
exit before it is started again (with the different config):
edit rc:
 - add sleep 1 before the line 
# Now run the START scripts for this runlevel. 
(line 72 on my system)
update-rc.d -f xdm remove
update-rc.d -f xdm start 99 3 . stop 01 0 1 2 4 5 6 .
update-rc.d -f xdm-al start 99 4 . stop 01 0 1 2 3 5 6 .

Also, is there a place that I can find a good description for the way they

Setting up read-write access for local CVS

2000-06-25 Thread Preben Randhol
I have installed cvs on my machine and want to use it so that I as a
user can check in and out files. 

I put the repository at /var/cvs and as root I ran cvs init.

When I as a user ran:
cvs import -m Created directory structure Ada95/Touch obliord start

I got:

cvs import: Sorry, you don't have read/write access to the history file
cvs [import aborted]: /var/cvs/CVSROOT/history: Ikke tilgang

(Ikke tilgang = No access)

This was of course not surprisingly. My question is how do one setup cvs
so that one gets read write access?

Should one:

1. Create a cvs group and give this group ownership with r/w to the
   repository and add users to this group?
2. Use the setuid bit on cvs?
3. Other solution (which?)

Thanks in advance.

Xupgrade hoses it?

2000-06-25 Thread Robert L. Harris


I just did a dist-upgrade on my potato box.  It appears to have upgraded
my XF86 3.3.6 and now when I start X, I get this:

bob:/home/nomadstartx


X:  server socket directory has suspiciou ownership, aborting.
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit:  Connection refused (errno 111):  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.



I tried to remove and re-install X11...   no go. 

Help?

What editor are you using with mutt?  Check that editor for a command to
include another file.  Under emacs, it's Ctrl-x then i  Other editors
probably have something similar.

Alternatively, you could try doing a copy and paste with the mouse.  Left
button to highlight, middle button (or left and right simultaneously with a
2 button mouse) to paste.

Or you could simply attach the script output file to the email.  After
editing your message, when you get the mutt screen where you would press y
to send the message press a instead.  You'll be prompted for the filename to
attach.  As usual, hit ? for the directory browser.

See.

 Why is it this way?  Well, there's really no way to tell init to
 execute programs upon _exiting_ a runlevel, or upon a transition from
 one level to another; the /etc/inittab that defines runlevels is
 one-dimensional.  So the transition must be defined independently of
 the old level.

In their manual, SuSE document that upon changing from say runlevel 
2 to 3, first all links matching /sbin/init.d/rc2.d/K* get executed 
and then the links matching /sbin/init.d/rc3.d/S*. (Funnily they have 
init.d under /sbin and not /etc)

But which is the proper way of dealing with this? Is there no 
specification for this? Or does it simply not matter? :)

Some ideas / thoughts anyone?

muttzilla -- bus error -- help building libc5 MZ from sources?

2000-06-25 Thread kmself
I just installed muttzilla, and am finding Netscape terminates with a
bus error.  The muttzilla docs include a README.Debian which says:

This package is compiled against libc6. This has the effect that it
only works with a libc6 version of Netscape.  The author has this
to say:

-- snip -- 
Apr 11: I finally found out what is up with Debian. They ship a libc5
Netscape, but glibc2 devel tools. To get muttzilla to work on Debian
you either need to build a libc5 based muttzilla or install a glibc2
based Netscape. I'll try to put up some more thorough documentation
RSN, but if you want more details e-mail me and I'll forward you
the message I received which explains this.
-- snip --

The next version of this package will include a libc5 package and a
libc6 version - unfortunately the dependencies cannot be done accurately
so it will be up to _you_ to install the correct one.


Anyone got a step-by-step on building a libc5 muttzilla from sources?
TIA.

The key difference is that $( command list ) is nestable without

If you've ever written:

   $ foo $( bar $( baz qux ) )
   
...it becomes trivial to build complex expressions interatively on the

The functionality is common in a number of shells other than bash,

If you have the debian-policy package from potato/woody installed, you

One of the bugs against ssh comments that ssh.postinst doesn't end with
a newline, which may be the problem.

However, ssh only Suggests: debconf, rather than depending on it; as a
result, 'db_stop' needs to be protected with 'test -e
/usr/share/debconf/confmodule' in the same way as all the other debconf
calls in ssh.postinst are. I've pointed this out as a follow-up to one

Mm, have you tried installing the libc6 Netscape packages instead? As of

the libc6 one of these and see if it works any better for you.

Ctrl-C and normal kill doesn't work.

2000-06-25 Thread Harald Thingelstad
This frustrating little problem...

When having a running process, ctrl-c or kill doesn't work on my system.
You have to use kill -9.

A simple example:
ping 127.0.0.1
this process is meant to run as long as you want, then you ctrl-c it to
get your statistics.
However, ctrl-c doesn't work. No reaction whatsoever, the program just
keeps on running.
So I have to ctlr-z it to reclaim my command line, then kill -9.
Normal kill is likewise. No reaction, no error messages, the process
just keeps on running.
It affects all programs as far as I can see.
I'm using debian 2.1 (slink. Long story and a slow connection.) with the
latest updates, gnome-icewm and bash.
Sure gnome is marked experimental here, but..
Where could the problem be?
Kernel? It's a customized debian-source-2.0.38 kernel, but the most
exceptional thing about *that* is ip-masquerading support.

I'm numbskulled here, so any support appreciated.

Mouse in deep doo-doo; Debian 2.2 from Libranet

2000-06-25 Thread Bill Barnes
Hello the list:
Installed with mouse at /dev/psaux, ran for many days, installed several 
packagesl including a lng run of helixcode.

Mouse began dying and maybe cursor would reappear someplace and maybe move 
when moving the mouse to and fro.

Switched to Win95 and got the same erratic mouse behavior.  Cleaned it up to 
no avail and finally switched the mouse to com1.  Works fine in W95.

Libranet installs a login screen.  Edited the mouse config to /dev/ttyS0.

The login screen does not respond to the mouse or the keyboard with the mouse 
plugged into the serial port.  I have to reset the machine to get out of this.

Moving the mouse back to the ps/2 port allows a login but, of course, the 
mouse is still not usable.

Can boot to maintenance mode with 'Linux single'.  
Default runlevel is set to 2 in inittab.  Changed it to 5, trying to kill the 
login screen.

Is this a Libranet or a Debian problem?  Is there an out or do I just have to 
re-install and get on with it?

Thanks,
Bill Barnes

gpm and X incompatible? (potato)

2000-06-25 Thread John Anthony Kazos Jr.
I'm using X 3.3.6-8 with xserver-svga 3.3.6-8 and tdfx-dri 4.0.00-2 (through
alien) and gpm 1.17.8-16.1 with a 3dfx framebuffer at 1024x768-60 on a 3dfx
Voodoo3 2000 with a PS/2 mouse on /dev/psaux. After X is started, and I switch
back to tty1, no textual output occurs (by typing, by program output, and by
switching amongst tty[0-9]+) and lines one pixel tall and about an inch wide
of random colors are drawn going from left to right and from top to bottom
starting from about the middle of the screen, and the mouse does not work in X.
Killing gpm (through gpm -k and /etc/init.d/gpm stop) makes the mouse work
in X and fixes the display problems in the framebuffer. Does anyone have any
ideas about what could be causing this?



safe to use woody packages in potato?

2000-06-25 Thread John Anthony Kazos Jr.
I'm running potato. Is it safe (read, won't screw up the installation) to change
the lines in sources.list to refer to woody as well as potato, so that I use a
newer version if it's in woody and an older one if it's only in potato? I'm not
significantly concerned about problems with the packages themselves (I'm running
2.4.0-test2, why not unstable Debian); I just wanted to make sure that the
differences between potato and woody are just package differences and don't
require a special process to use the newer packages. Are there any caveats with
doing this? (It's difficult for me to recover from an unbootable Linux on this
box.)

 I have installed cvs on my machine and want to use it so that I as a

 When I as a user ran:

 I got:
 
 cvs import: Sorry, you don't have read/write access to the history file
 cvs [import aborted]: /var/cvs/CVSROOT/history: Ikke tilgang
 
 (Ikke tilgang = No access)
 
 This was of course not surprisingly. My question is how do one setup cvs
 so that one gets read write access?
 
 Should one:
 
 1. Create a cvs group and give this group ownership with r/w to the
repository and add users to this group?
 2. Use the setuid bit on cvs?
 3. Other solution (which?)

I'd say 3.  The history file needs to be world writeable for even such
a simple thing as checking out files of the repository (basically just
read access of the repository).  If you don't want history logging you
can just remove the file (as root).

I don't know what your set up is like, but if you are only interested
in a personal repository, that is you are the only user, you could put
the repository in $HOME and be done with any an all permission hassle.

In our group I've set things up so that every CVS module is owned by a
(different) group and folks that need to commit code are made members
of that group.  The history file is world writeable, for now.

Just for reference a little bit of our /pub/cvs:

  drwxrwxr-x4 root cvsadmin 4096 Jun  9 14:31 CVSROOT
  drwxrwsr-x4 root calendar 4096 Jun 15 08:30 calendar

Ian Zimmerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 What are the packaging frontends (dselect in particular) supposed to
 do when 2 sources from sources.list provide different version numbers
 of the same package?

Don't know for sure, but based on experience I'd say they use the
latest (and greates?) version.

 I have a potato system, but I downloaded a couple of upgraded packages from
 woody and placed them in a local mirror directory.  I generated the
 Packages files with dpkg-scanpackages.  That went fine, so I added a
 deb file: line for the local mirror to sources.list and run
 dselect.  In the Select phase I could see the newer versions as
 available.  I selected them.  But the Install phase ignored my local
 mirror, tried to download the updates from the potato archive, and
 failed. 

Make sure your local archive is mentioned before the rest.  I maintain
a local mirror but it is usually lagging a bit behind (especially with
unstable).  If your sources.list says something like:

  deb file:/pub/debian unstable main
  deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main

your packaging frontends should use the latest version and apt-get
will look in the local mirror first and only contact the official
archive if it can't find the version the frontend is looking for.

 I noted while dselect was hitting the sources it said something like
 
 deb file:/foo/bar Release Ignored
 
 Of course, I don't have a Release file in the mirror directory.  Is
 that necessary for it to be recognized as a worthy source?  If so, how
 do I generate one; dpkg-scanpackages doesn't.  Or is there something
 else wrong with what I'm trying?

You don't need a Release file in your mirror, but if you want to shut
up apt a bit just look in /var/state/apt/lists/ and copy the relevant
Release file to your local mirror.

Re: How to rebuild from .deb sources (exim)

2000-06-25 Thread Ross Boylan
I got open ldap and a bunch of other packages and was able to rebuild 
(except I kept getting complaints about PGP keys at the end; I tried the 
options to turn off signing, but they didn't seem to take).


Crunch time comes when I try to use the perl I put in.  Was there any 
particular gotcha that caused you to leave it out, or was it just the 
desire to avoid extra junk?  I recall I had to fiddle a little to get it to 
hook up with perl--specifically it wanted to include all the dbm library 
variants and I didn't have them all.  I imagine that might be a little 
tricky to automate, since the line is auto-generated in the middle of the 
build process.

 It works fine, and yes. It's a Debian addition, and fairly simple, so I

No, the main documentation wouldn't mention it, because it's not part of

the main documentation would allow you to work out what the rewrite rule did
if you looked at the config file. I guess I should mention it in the

I have kbdrate installed properly, and I can invoke it properly.
 
 How about telling us:

For fun, I also set the keyboard rate to 2, 3, and 4. I get no apparent

characters per second, approximately.


 
  This problem only happens with Debian. When I run Suse, RedHat, or
  FreeBSD I can change the keyboard rate at will.
 
 On the same hardware?

Yes, exactly the same hardware.

I have the keyboard rate problem on two separate systems. One is a
P-133 and the other is a Celery-300. Both are running Debian - one is
running 2.1 and the other is running 2.2 (upgraded a few days ago
without problems).

I can adjust the keyboard rate at will when I boot Suse or other OS. I
can also adjust the keyboard rate when I'm running Suse with VMWare
under Debian Linux. Debian never changes it's keyboard rate, but the OS
running under VMWare will.

The problem is rather baffling. I may try to find the source code to
kbdrate and figure out what it is doing.

I had the same problem installing ssh on one of my stripped down machines
that hadn't been updated for a few months.  There are a couple of problems
that my unexpert eyes found in the /var/lib/dpkg/info/ssh.postinst
script...

1) Apparently it tries to grab values from debconf that aren't defined
and this results in your error 10 being propgated up in the script

2) at the end there is db_stop command that just doesn't seem exist.
In another thread someone mentioned that this needs to be wrapped in
some sort of test..  I just hacked the script around to get it to stop
complaining. 

I attached the script that at least allowed me to get past the annoying
error.  As far as I can tell what I did is make ssh emulate the behavior
when debconf isn't installed.  It may format your drive or send a copy
of all your emails to fbi.gov for all I know..

Hope this helps?

RE: Mouse in deep doo-doo; Debian 2.2 from Libranet

2000-06-25 Thread Bill Barnes
Responding to my own post FWIW to the list.
Here is a reply from Libranet support.  Certainly like their style.

  Yes, it sounds like the ps2 port may be the problem (as per your latter
  email)

  To change the Linux settings:

  Because of the freeze when you boot up you will need to boot into
  'single user mode'
  To reboot in single user mode:

  Reboot your system, and at the 'LILO' prompt press 'CAPS LOCK'
  Now at the 'LILO boot:' prompt type in:

  Linux single

  and press enter.

  Now in single user mode:

  Switch to the console CTRL-ALT F1
  login as root and run

  gpmconfig

  Do you want to change anything (Y/n)? Y
  Do you want to run gpm's mouse-test program (Y/n)? n

  Where is your mouse [/dev/mouse]?
  enter /dev/ttyS0 as the device if your mouse is on COM1
  or /dev/ttyS1 if the mouse is on COM2

  What type is your mouse (or help) [ps2]?
  ms

  Set the responsiveness (normally not needed) []?
  press enter

  Repeat protocol (enter 'none' to turn repeating off) []?
  none

  Do you want to add any additional arguments etc.
  press enter

  Reboot the machine.

  Again switch to the console as above and login as root, then run
  'adminmenu'
  choose 'reconfigure X'
  do NOT accept the existing file as defaults
  The mouse should be working, do not change anything in the mouse
  section.
  Setup your video card as you did before. See the install guide.

  I hope that solves your problem.

  Regards,
  Tal

= Original Message From Bill Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] =
Hello the list:
Installed with mouse at /dev/psaux, ran for many days, installed several
packagesl including a lng run of helixcode.

Mouse began dying and maybe cursor would reappear someplace and maybe move
when moving the mouse to and fro.

Switched to Win95 and got the same erratic mouse behavior.  Cleaned it up to
no avail and finally switched the mouse to com1.  Works fine in W95.

Libranet installs a login screen.  Edited the mouse config to /dev/ttyS0.

The login screen does not respond to the mouse or the keyboard with the mouse
plugged into the serial port.  I have to reset the machine to get out of 
this.

Moving the mouse back to the ps/2 port allows a login but, of course, the
mouse is still not usable.

Can boot to maintenance mode with 'Linux single'.
Default runlevel is set to 2 in inittab.  Changed it to 5, trying to kill the
login screen.

Is this a Libranet or a Debian problem?  Is there an out or do I just have to
re-install and get on with it?

Thanks,
Bill Barnes

Re: GDM and gdmchooser

2000-06-25 Thread Damon Muller
Hi Scott,

Quoth Scott Graves, 
 How do I invoke the gdmchooser in order to choose which host I wish to login
 to? I can't seem to get this feature to work.

Last time I tried to do this myself (a few months ago, admittedly), I
discovered that the chooser functionality didn't work and had been
removed.

I have no idea if it has been re-implemented.

OTOH, plain XDM works great as a chooser, it's just *really* ugly.

cheers,

damon

Re: ssh deb not installing correctly

 any suggestions ??
 

There is a (?) bug in this version of ssh.

Look in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ssh.templates, for a line
(about line 90 of 100) that reads
Template: ssh/run_sshd

There should be a blank line in front of this line, to separate
it from the previous Template: section.

Insert that new line, and then run
# dpkg --pending --configure

That should fix it.

RE: Capturing terminal contents

2000-06-25 Thread Bill Barnes

Don't.


OK

Images suck, are *way* bandwidth and storage intensive, and will piss
off most of us, resulting in zero help at best and killfiling at worst.


And it was too hard, anyway.

Console (xterm) output is plain old ASCII.  Cut and paste the text.  You
can do so by highlighting (left mouse button) and dumping it (middle
mouse button, use both left  right simultaneously on 2-button mice, may
require modifications to /etc/X11/XF86Config).


For a long sequence of commands and output, use script.

$ script # output saved to named file or typescript by default
$ some-command
$ some-other-command
$ different-command
$ ^D # Use:  ctrl-D to end script file.

For short commands and such, redirect or tee output:

$ some-funky-command  logfile
$ some-funky-command | tee logfile

For more info:

$ man script
$ man tee


Appreciate the help.  Life will be a lot simpler.

Bill Barnes

Re: package versions in dselect, and Release file

2000-06-25 Thread Ian Zimmerman
 Olaf == Olaf Meeuwissen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

itz I have a potato system, but I downloaded a couple of upgraded
itz packages from woody and placed them in a local mirror directory.
itz I generated the Packages files with dpkg-scanpackages.  That went
itz fine, so I added a deb file: line for the local mirror to
itz sources.list and run dselect.  In the Select phase I could see
itz the newer versions as available.  I selected them.  But the
itz Install phase ignored my local mirror, tried to download the
itz updates from the potato archive, and failed.

Olaf Make sure your local archive is mentioned before the rest.  I
Olaf maintain a local mirror but it is usually lagging a bit behind
Olaf (especially with unstable).  If your sources.list says something
Olaf like:

Olaf deb file:/pub/debian unstable main deb
Olaf http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main

It is not this simple; in fact, I think there's an out-and-out bug.
I'll report it when I have some time to waste.

The problem is that apt-get update and apt-get install (also
upgrade, etc.) make mutually inconsistent assumptions about the
structure of the mirror directory.  Suppose the entry in sources.list
reads

deb file:/usr/local/src/debs localdebs main non-free

Then apt-get update looks for

/usr/local/src/debs/dists/localdebs/{main,non-free}/binary-i386/Packages 

but apt-get install pysol looks for

/usr/local/src/debs/main/binary-i386/games/pysol_*.deb.

I was only able to work around this by setting up the mirror as
follows.

/usr/local/src/debs---main
^   |
|   --non-free
|   |
|   --dists---localdebs--
||

This is related to the thread earlier this week about the semantics of
a trailing slash on the deb URL.  Apparently the thorough explanation
given still haven't exhausted the topic :-(
