longitud del nombre de un fuente en Gnu assembler
Existe algun bug (o algo por el estilo) en as (GNU Assembler) que impida que un archivo fuente cuyo nombre sea de longitud = 3 caracteres sea ensamblado? Lo que pasa es que no puedo ensamblar con la tabla de simbolos activa (para el depurador), archivos cuya longitus de nombre sean = 3 caracteres. p.e. si tengo un archivo fuente llamado foo.S y lo quiero ensamblar asi: % as --gstabs -o foo.o foo.S me genera el siguiente mensaje de error: --- foo.S: Assembler messages: foo.S:43: Error: local label 0 (instance number 0 of a dollar label) is not defined --- El mensaje de error no se genera si omito el flag --gstabs o si renombro el fuente a un nombre cuya longitud sea != 3 (p.e foo1.S funciona bien). Es normal esto? o es que tengo una instalacion rara y/o buggienta en mi sistema. De antemano gracias por cualquier ayuda y un saludo. PD La version de as que tengo instalada en mi sistema (woody) es la 2.10.90
dpkg -l
Hola a todos, Al hacer dpkg -l, no consigo ver los nombres completos de muchos paquetes, pues la longitud fija reservada para el nombre se queda corta. ¿Hay alguna manera de evitar esto? Es algo que me pregunto desde hace un montón de tiempo... Javi
Configurar DNS en casa

Re: Puedo poner ADSL en casa?
Si puedes. Almenos tal y como lo tengo en el curro si: Vinieron los de timofonika (después de meses de esperar y esperar...) y nos pusieron un modem externo adsl, que se comunica con el ordenata con una ethernet. En principio ellos te explican lo que debes hacer para configurar el güindougs, aunque le digas que tienes linux: - Hola, güenas tardes. ¿Me podria explicar que debo hacer para configurar el router ADSL con LINUX? - Porsupuesto: Vaya a Menú Inicio, configuración, red, propiedades... Total, que los de la timo no tienen ni idea. Así que yo le metí el ADSL a un güindoze, hice tal y como me explicó el, miré los IPs que me daba el dhcp y configuré el LINUX según estos. Lo hice así porque el dhcpd del LINUX tenia un bug conocido. No sé ahora si tiene el bug o no, pero seguro que con el dhcpd-client puedes hacer-lo rular igualmente. En cuanto a los módems adsl internos, no lo se... Aligual se configuran como una ethernet, pero aligual lleba algun driver especial que el linux no reconoce...

No. (Just kidding). _If_ APM support is compiled into the stock kernel (and it used to be), add this line to your /etc/lilo.conf append=apm=on Run lilo, and reboot. If that doesn't work, you need to build your own kernel. You should do this anyway to get rid of all the drivers you don't need. Some tips: 1) Get the kernel source wherever you want. You don't _have_ to use the debian kernel-source package if you'd rather download from www.kernel.org ... 2) Use Debian's kernel-package. it makes things a lot easier and is well documented. For the RTFM impaired, here's a _brief_ synopsis: a) make menuconfig b) make-kpkg clean c) make-kpkg --revision=custom.2.2.17-0 kernel_image 3) Make sure you enable APM support, and enable the power off at shutdown option.

Packages I Don't want to upgrade
OK, this should be simple... There are a number of packages (XF86 3.3.6) that are 'installed' in my system - but are not really installed. In fact, they are only in the dpkg database. I did a manual install of XF86 4.0.1 from tarballs quite a while ago. However, I have no desire to 'upgrade' the XF83 3.3.6 debs, since they overwrite the tarball installation. I'm sure there is a way in Debian to flag certain packages to not upgrade, and I would appreciate any instructions on this. Also - I know there is a XF4 deb packaging project, and it's rather... alpha. Is there at least a meta-package that will meet all the XF86 dependancies, and not be overwritten by XF86 3 debs? (Meaning, it meets the deps for it, but it'll let me use the existing tarball installation from XF86.org?) Thanks, Troy Telford -- Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I am pondering?

Potato on a laptop
Hi, I recently succesfully installed potato on my Toshiba Satellite 2100CDS laptop. All is working fine, in fact, it was the easiest install of Linux I have ever done, out of any distributions, plus I was installing it over ftp, with a PCMCIA card, through a wingate proxy. Now I want to configure the sound card in the laptop, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they knew what sound card the laptop uses?

Re: net install of staroffice 5.2
Text inserted in quotes below Subject: R: net install of staroffice 5.2 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (marco frattola) Date: 25 Aug 2000 19:16:02 +0800 To: debian-user@lists.debian.org hi sergio, thank you for your answer One or two days ago I had the same problem. First I installed SO *without* the /net switch. It generated you mean you ran the so52-..-xx.bin file, right? When I installed I used the /net switch when installing the so52.bin two files in the home directory of every user that started the setup program, the files being .sversionrc and .user52.rdb. uhm, i'm almost sure i've never found those 2 files you mention .. but i'll check it. Having encountered the problem you mentioned, I removed all of SO's installation (/usr/local/office52 in my case), as well as the mentioned files. Then I installed it again with the /net switch. From that moment on, every user could do a workstation installation. To sum it up: 1) do a clean install with the /net switch this is my problem .. how do i do this? the so52-..-xx.bin file doesn't accept switch .. and after it's done, the setup script will not allow me to use the net switch. how do you do this? using the bin file or the script? i have the impression we don't have the same staroffice archive .. where did you get yours? I think I've installed the so52 bin file you have. I used the /net switch and it installed fine. It defaulted to root's home directory. I changed this to the dir I installed so51 in. example: so51: o - /usr/local/Office51 so52: o - set to install in /usr/local o - install created subdir and installed in: o - /usr/local/office52 o - (note case difference) 2) remove any existing configuration files in the home directories of the users that tried to install SO 3) run setup as user I did this without looking at existing doc, so my explanation may not be 100% accurate. If you do have another explanation just tell me. Anyway, hope the above mentioned will help you. i hope so. the procedure you outline is exactly the procedure i followed with so51. but i can't do that with so52 i hope you don't mind if i cc the list, just in case somebody is interested in this problem. thanks for your help Marco Frattola (Pianificazione processi) - Cubecom S.p.A.

kernel-package concept question
Dear group, I am not sure about the concept of the kernel-package system. From the documentation I have learned that if I compile my custom kernel, I also need to rebuild my pcmcia modules to match the kernel. I use a laptop with pcmcia cards. I have managed to do so, creating both: kernel-image-2.2.17_dell.0.1+i386.deb pcmcia-modules-2.2.17_3.1.8-16+dell.0.1_i386.deb Also, I have assumed that if I make modifications to the kernel configuration, I should use the revision scheme to make a next kernel. This is the point where I assumed that again the pcmcia modules should be rebuild to accompany the new kernel module. So I went ahead and made: kernel-image-2.2.17_dell.0.2+i386.deb pcmcia-modules-2.2.17_3.1.8-16+dell.0.2_i386.deb It has been suggested in a previous post that the pcmcia should have been left alone. Now my question is, when is it required to rebuild that? Only if I compile a kernel from a different source? At this point, I am left in a situation where I am unable to install the 0.2 kernel.deb because (as it seems to me) I also did the pcmcia. The message reads: eme_lap:/usr/src# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.17_dell.0.2_i386.deb dpkg: regarding kernel-image-2.2.17_dell.0.2_i386.deb containing kernel-image-2.2.17: pcmcia-modules-2.2.17 conflicts with kernel-image-2.2.17 ( dell.0.1) kernel-image-2.2.17 (version dell.0.2) is to be installed. dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.2.17_dell.0.2_i386.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing kernel-image-2.2.17 Errors were encountered while processing: kernel-image-2.2.17_dell.0.2_i386.deb Does anyone have an idea how to get around this?

Dselect file list generation
I ran dselect on my home box last night and it wanted to download 70Mb of files. This is ok given that I've been using potato for a while without downloading.

mkinitrd ? kernel image problem !!
Hi! I've found that there is no mkinitrd commnad in Debian. Is there any tools or package can do the same thing like mkinitrd in RedHat ? In RedHat: Use mkinitrd I can give a new pathname for new kernel's modules. Like /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-1 with /lib/modules/2.2.17-1 and /boot/vmliniz-2.2.17-2 with /lib/modules/2.2.17-2 ... etc. So I can just only add a new entry in /etc/lilo.conf, then reboot for test new kernel. If failed, I can easy to switch back the old kernel, because they are use the different modules path. But in Debian: I can't find mkinitrd program. So everytime I need to test new kernel, I must to move the modules path /lib/modules/2.2.17 to /lib/modules/2.2.17.old and move the /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 to /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17.old, then install the new kernel and modules, then reboot it. If this new kernel can't work. I found there is no easy way to switch back. Because the /lib/modules/2.2.17 is for new kernel, so the old kernel image can't find some modules in the path contain new modules. So I must boot from a floopy or CD-ROM to mount the disk, then move the /lib/modules/2.2.17.old back to /lib/modules/2.2.17 to let old kernel image work.

Re: Enabling Serial Port Console Login
don't think you need to recompile the kernel what did you do to try to connect? take a look at /etc/inittab if you haven't already it shows some examples for setting up a console on a serial port. make sure its the right kind of cable too, you mentioned using a cross cable ?? shouldn't it be just straight through..(not sure) worth a try though. nate Peter Kim wrote: I need to be able to login to my Linux web server, via a communications server (Portmaster).

Re: auto power off
The stock kernel which comes with Debian (2.2) has the auto power off function disabled! To enable this feature, you need to recompile the kernel...which is suggested anyway. In fact, it is disabled but compiled into the kernel: $ grep APM /boot/config-2.2.15 CONFIG_APM=y CONFIG_APM_DISABLE_BY_DEFAULT=y # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set # CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set # CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set # CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_MULTIPLE_SUSPEND is not set # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_SUSPEND_BOUNCE is not set # CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set # CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set To enable the Power off on shutdown, with ATX boxes, add append=apm=on in your /etc/lilo.conf, run lilo, reboot ! -- y.

Security Flaws on Slashdot
Hey Fellas, I noticed this posted on slashdot, this bloke seems to make some valid points, In my mind Debian is still the best distro however I consider this constructive criticism. Regards, Peter Firmstone N.B. Please don't flame the guy, he's got balls to post this but if its true he's doing us a favour in the long term. If we as users can get in and assist the developers in any way we can it should help make their job's easier, remembering they volunteer their time, and do a damn fine job too! (taken from http://securityportal.com/closet/ ) August 30, 2000 - I wanted to write a really positive article about Debian 2.2, which was just released a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I can't. While Debian itself is a reasonably well-done Linux distribution, it has some major security issues. Before you flame me, please read the entire article. I realize there are a lot of nice things about Debian, but I've also found a lot of problems. The odd thing is that Debian seems to have gotten the niggly little details right, but there are major issues they haven't addressed. Default Installation I did several installations, and I can safely say I don't terribly like the defaults Debian uses. The first thing I noticed was that while formatting the disk, Debian defaults to an enormous / partition and a swap partition. Unless you use quotas, a user can easily fill up the disk (/home/username, /tmp, /var/spool/mail/username, etc.). While a certain percentage is reserved for root, that doesn't help other users much. Admittedly, most distributions (or operating systems in general, for that fact) don't do a great job of this. But there are a few, like Red Hat, that do. The next default that really ticks me off is the password encryption scheme - the default is to use crypt. You can also use MD5, but there is a warning about compatibility. crypt passwords are trivial to brute-force when compared to MD5ed ones. Debian now uses PAM. Causing problems is relatively rare, unless you have some truly ancient software with no PAM support. Moving on. Once the basic install is done, you will discover that several services are enabled in inetd that shouldn't be. Discard, daytime, time, shell, login, and exec (r services) are all enabled by default, few of which (none, in my opinion) are needed on modern systems. You definitely want to disable these by commenting them out in inetd and restarting inetd or rebooting the system. If you need to test connectivity, use ping; to synchronize clocks, xntp; to use r services, install OpenSSH or SSH and use the secure replacements. Some minor points of light: gnuplot needs to be installed setuid root for users to use console SVGA - the default is no. This is good, since any users that need SVGA are local and can probably be trusted (they have physical access, after all). Remote users do not need it. Exim (if configured during install) gives you the option to use the RBL (Real-time Blackhole List). Unfortunately, it looks like RBL has not been working properly since August 10th. The config also prompts you to set the user account that root's email will be sent to, generally a good idea. General Problems dpkg - My main beef with dpkg is the lack of package signing support. Unlike RPM, dpkg does not support the signing of packages with GnuPG or PGP. This is important, since verifying the software you are installing prevents people from getting you to install Trojan horses. As an example, the ftp site ftp.win.tue.nl was cracked into some time ago, and several packages were replaced with Trojaned versions. TCP_WRAPPERS was compromised, among other things. Over 50 people downloaded these packages before someone noticed they were not properly signed with PGP, and raised the alarm. MD5 signatures can be used, but the attacker will modify those if possible, so you must somehow get the MD5 sums from a

RE: Security Flaws on Slashdot
Before the list gets clogged with replies, I must state that in my opinion an administrator or user responsible for a system must also be responsible for its desired security level, creating a fully secure distro (if it were possible) may create complacency. Also this article fails to recognize that older versions of software which run on debian are used for stability and have most likely already been patched for security flaws. Perhaps on my second look this bloke's article made too many assumptions without fully doing his homework. Don't mind the suggestion on a signature in dpkg though. Out of curiosity has anyone ever broken into a debian site or mirror and inserted a trojan horse. Regards, Peter Firmstone.

'menu' package : question : console support ? ; mailing-lists
hi.
if the debian 'menu' package [
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu.html/ ] does offer
console-support , this email can probably be disregarded.
( having a need to stay booted to ms-w right now, i can't check this myself,
yet. also, the following )
if it ('menu') doesn't offer console-only support:
this email will hopefully be taken as a request for that feature, and as a
presentation to the forum for the opening of discussion about how some
console-support could be implemented.
( on a tangent is a question that has been pending for a while, here.
would people like|support a (probably, very minor) degree of regulated
parliamentary procedure, on the mailing-lists?
, and i'm not meaning anything like what might be used by the
freemasons or
congress or the UN, by that. but it seems like there would be a few general
classifications of mailing-list traffic:
- request-for-feature
- intent-to-package ( to be directed to debian-devel , no?)
- bug-report ( debian-bugs ? )
- usage-question
- general question
- others?
... and certain ways that a list-post of each type would be handled.
( and the option to develop some software-ish things to handle the posting and
managing of such list-posts )
and this should maybe be stated in a seperate email, but i like to present it
when there's an example of something that it seems relevant to. namely, the
intent of this email . also, kind of like pinging people with the idea, to see
what comes back in-reply.
)
if 'menu' does not have console-support yet, here are some initial ideas about
how this might be implemented.
feel free to disregard the following if your time is short and|or if you're not
a developer and|or if you're not interested in it, but i'm still working my way
into development, and would like to hear what some experienced people would have
to say about the following, time-allowing .
( ... 'community' . )
1) i'd installed the 'screen' package. it seems like this might be used as a
route towards implementing a console-based menu system.
a) problem-issues:
1) something about the way the screen would flash at times.
(ech and a feeling of something that might be
fishy in or about the code or
method-of-implementation . )
2) i don't know how to rate 'screen' on resource-usage,
or if it might have any other problems that i'm
not yet aware of.
2) i know that there are already some console-based menu systems that have been
developed. saw one of them somewhere in the debian package-tree. ( as well as
suggestions on what their names are ... it was a while ago that i saw them ) any
help with deciding about which is the better of the options, would be
appreciated.
3) the following tasks would seem to be worth inclusion
as functions accessible via a menu-system:
-- mailing-list posting,
categorized by the purpose of the post
-- package-management, probably just something
to start-up dselect, but maybe otherwise.
-- system-management.
(e.g.: easy access to config-files,
as a means for the new user to get acquainted
with what's where and which files
and paths are for what purposes )
-- help-doc access. maybe just an interface to
dhelp. maybe otherwise.
( when 'otherwise' is meant kind of like a stub-code
for some pending reports, proposals,
and work )
-- debian-tips , when that finally gets developed
and released.
-- maybe something for new-users. sort of an (interactive)
walk-through, towards familiarizing someone with the
Linux environment.
and a 'debian-devel' module to handle things like:
-- debian-rules
-- CVS-functions
-- (insert-[helpful|time-saving]-thing-here)
( I still haven't made it throughly
into debian-devel, packaging, and updating
of out-of-date packages. ( pppoe , for example ) .
i don't know what's out there for development-tools,
yet. )
...and that might be enough, for now.
hoping that the statement, feel free to disregard the following, was enough to
keep this from seeming like some excessive text,

Complain about old Apache, ProFTP: If you always want the latest fixes, you need to get the stuff from the sources (Eg www.apache.org) quote: Debian's goal of a bug free-release hasn't been met. But to be fair, it's not like any software vendor will ever release bug-free software. Debian has done a particularly bad job in my opinion, shipping out-of-date software and especially publicly available network daemons that have root hacks in them. Bug-free can mean both: Security-bug-free and Stability-bug-free.

X-Window
I have just installed potato. Having finally got the video card and mouse configured, and I think the monitor as well, I am having real probelms with the Window Manager. This has defaulted to TWM. I get a nice login and passed entry form but then get a blank screen. I can select Icons, but only get an Icon manager. Nothing else. I've tried to follow the manual on twm and the Dedian ReadMe file but haven't yet discovered what I am doing wrong or missing. The README file refers to /etc/X11/twm/system.twmrc. I can't find this file although the /etc/X11/twm/system.twmrc-menu file is there. Do I have to compile this and if so how? If not, how can I get a Window Manager with Icons to work? Thanks Maxwell

EXIM / FETCHMAIL Question
In previous flavors of Linux and Freebsd, I had sendmail running. I would do a fetchmail to get my email from my ISP, and I had a .forward file that would send my mail to procmail for sorting/filtering. I now have Debian 2.2 Potato set up and it uses exim. I do NOT have a .forward file, but I do have my .procmailrc recipe file. When I do a fetchmail my incoming mail is sorted/filtered using my .procmailrc recipe file. Is this normal behavior for exim? Can I get rid of my .forward file? -- --- Christopher W. Aiken chris at cwaiken dot com Preferred O/S: FreeBSD 4.0

I tried the -l --verbose option and nothing? I think the root.bin file isn't getting written to /dev/fd0? `cmp' shouldn't produce any output, if it did it would be the first difference between the two files. You should do a `cmp' for each floppy image you write to floppies. Try to start over with freshformatted floppies, check that they have no bad blocks (all of them), dd the images onto them, then `cmp' them with the original file. There's some very good docs in the doc dir with the images-1.44 etc. dirs on the ftp where you got the images. Read the section on how to do it, it has the exact syntax to use with `dd' and `cmp', and read the manpages on those programs too. It is quite easy to do, and if it doesn't work you might have some bad images, try and do a fresh download off another ftp. If none of the above doesn't work I'm fresh out of ideas.

so, a proposal: maybe a 'reinstall' option for apt-get ? hi Steve, you allways can do: apt-get --reinstall install _pkgname_ and if you really want a completelly sane reinstall, previously you can do: apt-get --purge remove _pkgname_ Bests, jaume.

modconf with kernel 2.4.0-test7
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- I have installed the latest 2.4 test kernel on a couple of my potato systems, which seems to run just fine. After upgrading modutils via an apt-get source from woody I can load the modules using modprobe without any trouble. However, modconf isn't finding all the module categories. On the desktop it is finding the 'misc' catagory, containing all my ALSA modules, while on the notebook it finds the PCMCIA category. Those are both top level modules categories, in that they are immediate subdirectories of /lib/modules/2.4.0-test7. However, many of the modules have been relocated with kernel 2.4 and now live in subdirectories of /lib/modules/2.4.0-test7/kernel. Has anybody solved this problem? If modconf doesn't work yet with kernel 2.4 then should I just use /etc/modules to define which modules are loaded at boot time?

Re: .*? still greedy (perl,python)?

This is the behavour if I put the (.*?) at the end (ex.: /h(.*?)/) Why ? The regexp you are using impose the constraint of having an 'l' following the parentesized subexpression. Only he satisfies this constraint. I was going to say that as well, but I can see where he's coming from. Actually, matching against just the 'l' *would* satisfy the constraint, since '*' can match zero characters. Here's perldoc perlre: By default, a quantified subpattern is ``greedy'', that is, it will match as many times as possible (given a particular starting location) while still allowing the rest of the pattern to match. If you want it to match the minimum number of times possible, follow the quantifier with a ``?''. And that's the answer: non-greediness doesn't mean the search is going to try different *starting* locations to get a more minimal match, once it finds a match that satisfies. I.e., greediness (or lack thereof) goes rightward, not leftward.

Odp: Re: Debian 2.2 and security - SecurityPortal article
Just read it and tell me what you think about it. I think it has some valid points. He brings up issues that make sense and should of been taken care of a long time ago (eg: commenting out archaic services in inetd.conf, default homedir perms, etc). Maybe Debian maintainers should go over 2.2 with a fine-tooth comb and release a 2.2.1 security/system update? But this guy talks about security holes just by checking package version numbers! He dosn't look what has been done with package (debian specific changes including backported fixes for security holes). I often wrote maintainers that Debian should implement right package versions. For example: package in Debian has number 1.4-1. Security hole is discovered and it's fixed in normal 1.5 version. But when this package (1.4-1) is in frozen state there is no posibility to generate package 1.5-1 and put it into frozen. So maintainer backports security fix and makes package 1.4-2 which has no security hole. But for guy like this writer (and for many normal users) this package has security hole. Not so many look at the changelogs or try exploits - they just look at package version (it's 1.4) and look at the advisory, in which they read that hole has been fixed in version 1.5 so they think that Debian is insecure. And I think this is big problem for most people. _ Leszek Gerwatowski [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: potato and truetype
Hello,, I myself use the xfstt font server from the Debian package. Works great. There is also a package for xfs-tt in Debian. I don't know which is better because I've only tried the one, but I did have a look at xfs-tt in another machine and it looked more difficult to setup. Setting up xfstt was rather easy. Put you fonts in /usr/share/fonts/truetype run xfstt --sync add unix/:7101 to your fontpath. Tal On Wed, 30 Aug 2000 16:58:13 +0200, Rainer Haape said: Hi, I am new to this list, but not to debian.
