Re: CDs demasiado llenos

 Bueno esta es una lista de Debian por lo cual es apropiado tratar
 este tema aquí, y ademas (a diferencia de debian-cd) es española
 por lo tanto es apropiada para mi. Además creo que tiene repercusión
 económica y por tanto es de interes general.
 
 Resulta que los CDs virgenes mas normalitos del mercado son para
 650Mbytes y alguna imágenes de la potato i386 superan este límite.
 
 BIN1-nonus  670251008 bytes.
 BIN2672960512 bytes.
 
 Los CDs graban desde el centro acia la parte exterior. En la parte
 cercana al borde suelen existir defectos en el grosor del material
 sensible.
 
 Para muchos CDs vírgenes en la práctica no existe un límite limpio
 pero grabar más de 650Mbytes es como jugar a la lotería que a demás
 no toca a todos por igual.

Re: problemas con el afterstep y gnome

2000-08-28 Thread Marta Pla i Castells
¿No debería el gnome-session hacer un control de si hay un window manager
ya lanzado y si no lanzarlo? ¿Solo lo lanza si lo tenía en la lista de
aplicaciones lanzadas previamente? ¿Se supone que la primera vez que se
lanza gnome-session debe ser desde dentro de un gestor de ventanas ya en
ejecución para que este pase a formar parte de las aplicaciones que deben
ser rearrancadas cuando se reentre en gnome?



Lo único que te puedo decir es que sólo me funcionó cuando lo puse en el
.xsession. De todas maneras revisa el directorio .gnome que está en tu
directorio raiz y encontrarás archivos de configuración del escritorio del
gnome.

De todas maneras, yo los toqué todos y sólo me funcionó realmente cuando lo
cambié en el .xsession.

Un saludo.

Sólo puedes hacer cuatro particiones primarias pero si juegas con la
unidades lógicas puedes hacer más.

Por ejemplo, la partición dedicada a datos es tonto tenerla primaria,
construye una unidad lógica.

Sólo que en el subject ha puesto un tema que no es lo sufuicientemente

comentario de textos :-)


 No estoy seguro de que estas cosas deban tratarse en privado, puesto que

Para eso estan los mensajes periodicos que el mantenedor de la lista

En cierto modo me siento culpable por el tono que está tomando la discusión,
porque creo que cometí un error. No debí de enviar el comentario utilizando

molestó.

Le pido disculpas públicamente. (un saludo, Pablo :-)  )

A su vez él ha pedido disculpas por la respuesta que envió.

Creo que a partir de aquí ha habido una serie de malentendidos.

creando particiones logicas a partir de una extendida.

por limitaciones de la arquitectura intel, solo puede haber cuatro
particiones primarias. En cambio, en principio no hay limitaciones en el
numero de particiones lógicas (al menos 15 en linux, creo que este
numero varia si el disco es scsi o ide). Una de las particiones
primarias se usa solo para marcar una particion extendida (por tanto
tendras como maximo tres primarias y el resto logicas, o bien cuatro
primarias), a partir de las cuales y de modo contiguo se establecen las
logicas...

 Hola, estoy estudiando sistemas computacionales y como tarea tengo que
 configurar en una computadora con linux Debian un servidor de correo, de ftp,
 de web y hasta de IRC pero no tengo ni una vaga idea de como hacerlo, 
 espero
 y alguien me pueda ayudar...
 
 Grax.

 para empezar podrias ir leyendote los manuales que llevan esos programas,
 ¿no? ¿o el objetivo de tu pregunta es que te digamos como se hace todo eso?
 Lo digo porque si es ese ultimo, podriamos escribir miles de paginas sobre
 el tema...

 Lo que tienes que hacer es instalar los programas apropiados y consultar su
 documentación para aprender a configurarlos.

 Correo SMTP: sendmail, postix, o qmail.
 Correo POP3: qpopper, pop3d
 FTP: wuftpd y anonftp.
 Web: apache.
 IRC: ircd.

 Y recuerda: solo sobre apache hay libros escritos de miles de paginas, asi
 que será imposible que te digamos aquí como se hace todo eso. Eres tú quien
 debes ayudarte a ti mismo.

Interbase

2000-08-28 Thread JFreak
Hola lista.

Alguno de ustedes ha utilizado Interbase para manejar bases de datos ??
resulta que necesito instalar Interbase para ser servidor de base de
datos para aplicaciones hechas en Delphi para winsos, lo he instalado y
aparentemente todo esta bien (no hay errores en la instalacion) pero no
puedo levantar el servicio de Interbase, y si alguno lo ha utilizado
como cliente tambien seria de mucha ayuda.

Gracias a todos.

He preparado una chuleta sobre imagenes ISO para Potato ¿Que os parece?

2000-08-28 Thread Manel Marin
0-cdimage: (0.04)
Información sobre imagenes ISO para tostar CDROM con Potato


ANTES DE EMPEZAR:

Muy recomendable leer las Notas de publicación de Debian GNU/Linux 2.2,
están en castellano:

http://www.debian.org/releases/2.2/i386/release-notes/

Trae:
- Novedades
- Cambios al sistema en detalle desde Debian 2.1 slink
- Actualización usando apt-get desde internet, cdrom ó replica local


Hay un manual de instalación en castellano de Potato:

http://www.debian.org/releases/2.2/i386/install


ATENCION: Estos documentos está en Castellano, si te salen en Inglés es
que aun no has puesto el Languages del navegador en Spanish [es]


Muy recomendable (English) es este FAQ:

http://cdimage.debian.org/faq.html

Explica:
- Como saber si las imagenes de tu mirror son las correctas
- Como grabar CDROMS con imagenes iso desde Linux y desde Windows
- Y otras cosas interesantes...



EMPECEMOS:

1) Leer info de ultima hora (errores en imagenes...)

http://cdimage.debian.org/lastmin.html


2) Para usar rsync usar un mirror ya que del master site se puede ver el
 contenido pero hace falta contraseña para descargar imagenes.
 * rsync es muchisimo mas eficiente para actualizar imagenes que ftp *

http://cdimage.debian.org/rsync-mirrors.html


3) Verificar MD5sum del master site con el mirror que utilices

Master site - http://cdimage.debian.org/cd-images/


4) Mi mirror preferido (rsync):

ftp.kando.hu::cdimages/debian/2.2_rev0/i386/*




EN CASO DE PROBLEMAS CON LA IMAGEN:

Para asegurarnos de que el lector CDROM y el cdrom están bien se le puede
hacer un md5sum al CD haciendo como root:

head --bytes=`isosize /dev/cdrom`   /dev/cdrom | md5sum

isosize está en el paquete:  cdwrite

*Gracias a Antonio Castro por el truco (leer solo los bytes necesarios)
ya que md5sum /dev/cdrom acaba dando error al leer /dev/cdrom*


POR PROBAR:
Pseudo-image-kit permite descargar imagenes iso por rsync y hay versión Linux
 y para Win9x


MAS INFO:

Espero que os sea de ayuda...

Svenskt tangentbord i X på en potatis installation

2000-08-28 Thread Martin Bergström
Hejsan allihopa! Nybliven Debian-användare här.

Har installerat Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 från binary-i386-1_NONUS CDn nu i helgen. 
Har väl gått ganska bra med tanke på att senast jag hade Linux installerat var 
för två år sen (RH4.2 eller nåt) och då pillade jag nästan inte alls med det.

Nå, min fråga är hur sjutton får man till svenskt tangentbord i X (med gnome 
och wmaker)?

Det bara måste finnas någon förgjord .Xmodmap eller liknande. Om jag får tag på 
en sådan (eller om den redan borde finnas installerad), hur och var säger jag 
åt X att använda den?

(Jag *skulle* iofs kunna läsa igenom hela ämlans X-dokumentationen, men, tja, 
det verkar vara lite väl jobbigt.)

Har försökt hitta information i HOWTOs och FAQer men inte lyckats något vidare. 
En försvårande omständighet är att jag inte har Internetförbindelse hemma och 
inte kan pröva tips på en gång. Har hittat Danish-HOWTO och ska testa tipsen i 
den när kommit hem.

/Martin (lite w*ndows-skadad, annars ganska nöjd :)

Hmm.. En liknande fraga.. Har en laptop med amerikanskt tangentbord, hur
ska jag gora for att fa in de svenska tecknen pa tangentbordet (i X)?

Hade tankt anvanda alt-tangenten for att skriva a, a och o :)
Har luskat ut hur man fixar till tangenterna med xmodmap, men jag lyckas
anda inte skriva tecknen, eftersom alt inte fungerar som
modifierare. (Finns ingen AltGr tangent)
Har testat RightAlt   ModeShift i XF86Config, men det hjalper inte..

Alltsa.. Amerikanska tangentbord har bara 2 symboler pa varje tangent, hur
far jag in tre? Observera att jag vill behalla amerikansk layout, men aven

deuglification howto, the Debian tt font howto, etc.), but it seems that
each of them recommends different font servers, etc. Which do you find to be
the best xfsft, xfstt, redhat xfs (as if Debain users would use this one)? I
would just like to hear a few opinions before I decide to choose one to set
up.

Also, I would like to hear people's experiences in using the Debian tt font
mini howto and if this solution was adequate for them.

Much of this will be going away as XF86 4.x has built-in TT support.

I read a few of the duglification howtos, IIRC, when I was running RH.

Mailing list software.

2000-08-28 Thread Mathew Johnston
I'm wondering if anyone has reccomendations for mailing list software.
I need to maintain something like 10 lists, with maybe 10 people per
list.  Users should be able to subscribe and unsubscribe, but I wish to
limit which addresses may subscribe. If possible, maybe a list of
addresses which are permitted to subscribe to each list?  The idea is
that these are private mailing lists and I dont want just anyone
joining (security through obscurity is bad ;). The list software should
keep an archive of the list in some sort of html format with okay
navigation - threads are good.  Does such a piece of software exist?
 Thanks :)

 Hello all,
 
 Well I've noticed that noone has yet to reply to my problem, most
 likely because of its complexity.  I've been able to narrow down the
 problem however:
 
 1.) The system freezes only when the network is up

 2.) Best guess is that it occurs when so much data has passed through
 the ethernet adaptor

 3.) This occasionally causes hard drive inode errors as previously
 noted, likely when the system freeze just so happens to occur at the
 same time the system is writing to disk.
 
 4.) This same eth adaptor (Netgear) had previously been used as eth1
 on a Slink system, and would suddenly drop out with no notice while
 handling massive data transfers on the local network.

Sounds like potentially bad hardware.

OTOH, I had problems on a system running kernel 2.2.14 and smbfs,
sounding similar to your description, though I would get a kernel OOPS
message generally several hours prior to the crash.  You look through
your logs at all?

 5.) The other eth adaptor used to be error prone on the previous
 (slink) system, and therefore was not put to use with the Potato
 system (eth0 transfer timed out 73654e0 vs (7352474) or other such
 random characters reported to syslog)
 
 In reference to #1- recent reboots (which previously brought the
 network back up) have stopped bringing the network back up.
 Ping/telnet/etc works only to the machine's IP address and
 'localhost' no route to host error is displayed for all others.
 With no network- the system has had over a day of uptime.
 
 My best bet I suppose is to buy a better (expensive) eth adaptor...
 but any thought would be appreciated before I part with 80 bucks for a
 3com.

I'm very happy with my $16 10/100 Linksys card.

For the list server take a look at Listar (http://www.listar.org/), it is
already packaged for Debian.

Listar archives into two standard formats, one of which is mbox.  If you
want that available via HTTP take a look at hypermail.  It, too, is packaged.

As for your security, just make it a closed list requiring authorization

RE: gnome install

2000-08-28 Thread SOETE Joël
Dear Nate,

As promised, here is some follow up:

  I finally reach to install gnome with Enlightenment as wm 
 with the last
  distribution package (2.2 rev0) on my linux box with a 
 Intel pentium III and
  128Mb ram.
  I met two different kind of problems:
  
  first with gnome-moz?-remote ... which failed because:
  /dev/dsp no such device
    exit code (-1)
 means you have not configured a sound device correctly or the sound
 device is unsupported.

I tried to remove /dev/dsp hopping that software will accept that no sound
card is available
but it fails on message: /dev/dsp no such file or directory.
 
  
  second netscape-remote (from netscape-base-4) failed because:
  could not open display :0 ?
 
 make sure you are running netscape as the same user you are logged in
 as, chances are you ran it as root after doing an 'su' in a terminal
 (that is a common thing to have happen)
 You CAN run apps under different userids but it takes a couple extra
 commands.

I then try by launching gnome  enlightenment as a common user but netscape
still failed?
Any idea?

What is wrong? Any further help is  welcome (:^)

I agree; I've done exactly this in vim.

Another possibility is to use pr.  You can set up an alias to produce
the format you like; I have:

alias pr=pr -f -l 57 -o 5

I also agree that dependence on word processors is unnecessary. When I
used DOS I had a WP I liked a lot called Protext. I missed it at first
in Linux (because it won't run in dosemu). However, now I used vim (with
latex when necesssary) and can reproduce all the features I used to like

sendmail reports I/O problem

2000-08-28 Thread Sven Burgener
Hello

I have a truly annoying and urgent problem with sendmail. Particularly
bigger mails containing attachments cannot be delivered. They always end
up sitting around in the queue with I/O errors, after unsuccessful
attempt of delivery.
On the system, there are many sendmail processes up, yet there is no
activity towards the internet.

are all the mails going to different hosts? or is your isp doing relay
for you ? could be a problem with the ISP, according to the sendmail
FAQ. from the looks of what you pasted everything seems to be going thru
1 remote host, if this is the case, then i'd suggest reconfiguring
sendmail so this does not happen to see if that host is causing trouble
or not. in any case it doesn't look to be on sendmail's end.

This means your ISP has troubles (probably a too-full disk) on their 
mailserver. Phone them and complain. If they´re not wanting to accept 
mail bigger than $SIZE then they should complain at 
 MAIL From: SIZE=150895
where your mailserver tells them the size of the mail.

Help: Printer Installation

2000-08-28 Thread Tim Wood
Hi,
I've been battling with this for days and am now thoroughly confused.
I did a floppy/ftp install of 2.2(stable).
I then saw that LPRng was recommended and installed that - the original
LPD was removed.
Next I tried MagicFilter - the Test printed fine but nothing else would.
I then installed apsfilter and again the Test prints just fine.

I can cp file /dev/lp0 and it will print so there is no problem with
ports, cable or printer. 

The printer is a Canon BJ-10sx and I need to print from Netscape 4.72,
as a minimum.

I would like to fix this in the next day as I have to go away and my
family will force me to leave Windoze running if I cannot fix it.

TIA,
Tim

i agree with robert, it must be a prob with your ISP.

and that FAQ is for ANY kind of connection not just slip/ppp. as for not
being able to reconfigure...id get a new isp!! cable isps are not
friendly to servers.

another thing to try, try sending the same mails using a normal mail
client that can send *directly* to your isp's SMTP server see what
happens.

i spent quite a while hunting down a good DSL isp, i'dr ather be on a
dialup 56k modem then be on a cable isp that doesnt like unix/servers.

ppp module gone in 2.2 (potato)

2000-08-28 Thread André Wayand
Hi,
I've upgraded my m68k distro 2.1 to 2.2 using dpkg -i kernel-imagexxx but
the ppp.o module did not get upgraded. There is no /lib/modules/2.2.10
folder, either. Does anyone have an idea what to do to get all my modules
from the previous 2.0.36 folder updated into the new folder so that they
can be loaded? Most importantly I'd love to get the ppp module to connect
to the internet, I tried installing modutils and ppp, but still to no
avail. Help very much appreciated, I just can't find those things.

NIS trouble

2000-08-28 Thread Nathan Smith
Hello everyone,

I sent this question to the list Friday when the list was being flooded 
with multiple copies of each question.  Once I started noticing the
problem, I know I was much less careful about reading, and figure that I
was not alone.  To my knowledge there were no replies on Friday, and
since someone who may have been able to help me with this problem is
likely to have just deleted all messages posted on Friday, I'm asking
again.  Sorry for filling your (overfull) mailboxes with the same
question twice.  Here goes the question:


I'm having trouble with yppasswd in NIS.  The setup is this:  passwd, 
shadow, group, etc. files are in the /var/yp/ypfiles directory.  Of 
course there are corresponding files in /etc on the ypserver, but they 
do not contain all of the users in the /var/yp/ypfiles location.  In the 
makefile YPSRCDIR (sp?) and YPDIR are both set to /var/yp/ypfiles, so as 
I understand it NIS should not be looking in /etc at all.  

Anyone who is on the /var/yp/ypfiles list is able to log in to all of the
yp clients.  However, only those that are listed in the /etc files are
able to change their passwords using yppasswd.  Does anybody know how to
fix this?  I know that I could just use the /etc files for NIS and limit
access to the server, but I would like two different passwords to be
used, one for the NIS server and one for the NIS clients, for those who
are allowed access to both systems.

Thanks,

Nate

 Sorry for simple question,

Exim doesn't support IMAP.  On Unix systems the IMAP server and MTA are
usually separate programs, so most MTAs don't know anything about IMAP.
Try looking at the imap or courier-imap packages (or perhaps courier-imapd 
if the license is acceptable to you).

Re: potato and slink

2000-08-28 Thread Vik
 Can one install both Potato and Slink on the same box? I've just
 received CD's for Potato but would like to retain Slink for a while. 
 I always boot from floppies, so Lilo is not an issue.
 
 I've no recollection of seeing any reference to this. Any advice,
 help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Divvying up ur harddrive into a couple of partitions would be the easy
solution, then installing potato on the new partition. Could use the same
swap partition for both. I reckon there is a way to do it on the same
partition, but it might get messy - two ideas that have just popped into
my tired head are to use a lot of symlinks, or to install all of potato
into some directory,say /potato, and ensure all possible path references
use /potato/... rather thatn /... 
No, there must be an easier way.

latex2html package:No configure-ps2img

2000-08-28 Thread Sebastian Canagaratna
Hi:

 Have I done something wrong or is there some problem? In the potato
 version that I downloaded before it was made stable I could run
 latex2html without any problem.

 On my other machine, I installed the potato version after it was made
 stable, and it gives an error about No such image type: png
 /usr/bin seems to contain all the png files.
 
 I find that in /usr/share/latx2html there is no configure-pstoimg
 to correct this.

 Can somebody enlighten me on this.

Re: Sl-stormpkg: where is libdpkg.so.0?

2000-08-28 Thread Peter S Galbraith

The sl- version is for slink.  You could get the stormpkg package
instead, HOWEVER...  I did that and it pulled in storm's gtksu,
which in turn depends on a bunch of Helix gnome packages.  That's
fine if you wish to track Helix from then on, but not if you want
to use woody packages.  Helix uses a version number that will
always be higher than Debian's.  Sucks.

 This recurs every 5 minutes. I apparently never get out of single user
 mode.
 It appears that getty is being invoked with the wrong args.
 
 Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Re: Installation os X

 learn, why is it not easier?  Please help... I have tried and tried,
 read all the manuals and docs, but to no

List for video cards and which xserver-package they need can be found from 
www.xfree86.org. For an example, I have S3 Trio 3D and I am using SVGA.

When you have found what server you need, you need to install corresponding
debian package. They belong to X11 category and their name begins with 
xserver- .

When you have installed correct package using dselect/apt-get, you need to 
configure it. Use xf86config or preferably XF86Setup, which is graphical. 
XF86Setup uses VGA xserver, which is included by default in every X windows
installation. (VGA is so well supported, though poor, that it works almost
everywhere and is suitable for this). When configuring, you have to select
right xserver (the one you installed) and set some values, like resolution.

XF86Setup may not be installed by default to your system, so you have to
install it from cdrom/net.

Yes, X windows is tricky to configure, but you usually need to do it only 
once.


I hope this makes it a bit clearer to you. 



PS. Could you use some paragraphs when mailing messages? It was quite hard

I am not quite sure why the  binaries had kernel
specific distributions, perhaps some header info
needed for compile. Never investigated the issue
further, never struck me ! Dumb bloke that I am!
