Mutt otra vez !

2000-09-07 Thread JFA
Se ve que el uso del Mutt aumenta ;)
Tengo el problema de que quiero bajarme el correo desde el trabajo, con 
fetchmail en modo daemon, y mantenerlo ahí para bajarmelo todo junto desde
casa para guardarlo. Mi problema surge porque el sistema va sin problemas
con el servidor de wanadoo, pero el de navegalia no me marca los correos
como leidos, por lo que me los baja una vez, y otra, y otra ... ¿ Alguna
solución ?
Gracias

lista paquetes

2000-09-07 Thread TooMany
Buenas.

Tengo una máquina que quiero que tenga los mismos paquetes instalados que
otra. Me imagino que debe haber un ficherito por ahí que, copiándolo de uno
al otro, permitirá al otro tener los mismos paquetes instalados que el
primero. ¿Podría alguien ayudarme en ello, por favor?

Gracias por todo.

Re: lista paquetes

2000-09-07 Thread pookie
el archivo es /var/dpkg/dpkg.list (o /var/cache/dpkg/dpkg.list) o algo asi
(no me acuerdo muy bien, pero esta por ahi ;))

Supongo que si lo copias haciendo un APT deberia coger los paquetes e
instalarlos lo malo es que no fuera que le diera por decirte eso de latest
version is installed ;)

De todas formas creo que en el mismo directorio hay otro archivo que es la
lista de seleccionados mas que la de instalados
Se tratara de que investigues un poco ;)

Variables de entorno

2000-09-07 Thread Fernando
Hola:

Hace poco en respuesta a una pregunta mía alguien me respondió que
si tenía asignada la variable de entorno http_proxy.

Y mi pregunta es la siguiente:

¿ Existe en algún sitio un listado de las variables de entorno
  digamos, estándar ?

(Si no existe, podríamos crearlo indicando variable y programas que
la usan)

Otra cosa: ¿ puede considerarse un bug de la documentación o de las
páginas del manual el no hacer referencia a una de estas variables
de entorno que es usada por el programa ?

Cuelgue en el arranque (durante INIT).

2000-09-07 Thread Juan Carlos Muro
Hola.
Estoy usando 'Woody' y después de actualizar los paquetes con apt hace
dos días, no consigo rearrancar la máquina. Bueno, me ha pasado en dos
máquinas. El kernel parece arrancar bien. Llega a INIT. En una máquina
he puesto el kernel 2.4.0-pre6 y en otra el 2.2.17
La única manera en que consigo que arranque es editando (tengo que
hacerlo montando el sistema de ficheros desde los discos de instalación)
el script '/etc/init.d/rc' y descomentando la línea que dice 'debug =
echo'. Esto lo único que se supone que hace es sacar por pantalla lo que
va haciendo el script. El caso es que poniendo eso arrancan las dos
máquinas. Una parece funcionar normal. La otra, no deja hacer login a
los usuarios, aunque al menos deja entrar al root (y por cierto, cosa
curiosa, no va a 'xdm' y si trato de arrancarlo a mano con
'/etc/init.d/xdm start' no me hace ni caso, cuando justo antes de estos
problemas funcionaba a las mil maravillas).

¿Qués es lo que viene en el arranque después de ejecutarse los
'/etc/rc2.d/S??*' ? Parece que después de ser ejecutados (creo que es
/etc/init.d/rc el responsable de hacerlo) es donde se las máquinas se me
quedan, aunque ahora no estoy muy seguro de si es al final, después o
durante dicha carga, o si incluso tiene que ver con eso. Lo digo porque
una de las máquinas se ha bloqueado arrancando 'nfsd' pero la siguiente
vez que la he intentado arrancar ha conseguido ejecutar nfsd y se ha
bloqueado justo después al intentar cargar 'lpd'.
Voy a intentar añadir lineas tipo ' echo paso 1 ' en '/etc/init.d/rc'
para saber si al menos termina de ejecutar el script y los problemas
vienen en el siguiente paso.

Esto es muy extraño.
Por favor, si a alguien le suena esto, le agracedería su ayuda. ¿Creeis
que esto es la consecuencia de usar una versión inestable?

Un saludo y gracias:

Juan Carlos Muro

 Tengo unas dudas:
 - Como se utiliza un compilador cruzado.

Esencialmente, haces CC=compilador-cruzado y ejecutas make :-)

Se supone que el compilador cruzado debe saber ya dónde están los
ficheros de cabecera y las bibliotecas del sistema para el que quieres
compilar.

 - ¿Es posible tener el compilador de la arquitectura propia y el cruzado
 instalados al tiempo?

Sí, porque lo normal es que tengan nombres distintos. Un ejemplo lo
tienes en el paquete altgcc que servía para compilar paquetes con libc5.

 - ¿Existe algún compilador cruzado intel-microcontroladores motorola?

No lo sé.

 - ¿Donde puedo conseguir información sobre desarrollo cruzado usando

En el manual de gcc.



Error en latex

Durante la instalación, la configuración de latex falló (no se porque),

El motivo de esta discrepancia es que los paquetes bash y base-files
están mantenidos por personas distintas, que tienen opiniones
distintas acerca de cómo debería estar configurado el sistema de forma
predeterminada.

Lo que a mí me sorprende es que exista /etc/skel/.bash_logout. Las normas
de Debian dicen que, idealmente, el directorio /etc/skel debería estar
vacío y este fichero no es en absoluto necesario para que bash se
comporte de forma razonable (casi me dan ganas de mandar un bicho).

Mi opinión es que cada cual debe elegir su propia política de
privacidad, y espero que la gente no confunda privacidad con seguridad
(como dice el refrán, la seguridad no debe conseguirse mediante
oscuridad).

Comportamiento extraño gestor de ventanas

2000-09-07 Thread Javier Viñuales Gutiérrez
Holas, acabo de darme cuenta de que cuando pongo a repoducir un mp3 con xmms
o un ram con realplayer el gestor de ventanas se queda frito, al Navigator
le desaparece la barra de título del gestor de ventanas y no responde al
click del ratón.

Tengo puesto Helixcode (actualizado ayer) sobre Potato (idem), el gestor de
ventanas es sawfish sobre gnome. Si mientras esto sucede me voy a tty1 (ya
que las X no responden desde teclado o ratón, no se yo desde red) y hago un
'top', puedo observar que el equipo anda sobrado de CPU y RAM, así que me
temo que hay un bicho en algún sitio.

¿Alguien lo comprueba?.

localizacao de sh scripts no sistema base

2000-09-07 Thread Henrique M Holschuh
Olá pessoal,

Eu normalmente acabo não postando muito aqui, mas vocês podem me encontrar
na -devel facilmente :-) Se quiserem, estejam a vontade pra me por na lista
dos debianzeiros.br. Só não me tornei maintainer ainda por falta de
tempo...

(Por sinal, seria possível marcar uma keysigning party na região de Campinas
ou em São Paulo capital?  Está na hora de criar uma web-of-trust entre
nós... não é por nada não, mas só por a chave numa página WWW simplesmente
não é suficiente pra garantir autenticidade).

Eu finalmente resolvi acabar com a gambiarra que é o upgrade de daemons no
debian (não presta atenção no runlevel corrente, etc). Os scripts estão
quase prontos, e vai sair um RFC pra -devel assim que estiverem testados e
funcionando.  Já que até o Craig Sanders resolveu não pisar no meu pé
(depois que entendeu o que eu estava fazendo ;-) ), é possível que o sistema
seja aceito e adotado como objetivo pro woody.

Só que os scripts estão em inglês. E são pro sistema base (pacote sysvinit).
Eu sei que o pessoal que traduz os boot-floppies é assíduo da lista, daí a
pergunta: Como localizar scripts sh que têm que ir no sistema base?  Ter
dois scripts NÃO é uma alternativa viável, tem que ser algo tipo o gettext
da GNU.

Se tiver um jeito de i18n os scripts que não diminua a estabilidade, eu faço
(e já traduzo pra .pt-BR)...  Claro que o resto dos initscripts vai
continuar em inglês *por enquanto*, mas não dá pra dominar o mundo num dia
só. Fnord.

O DSL tem a eficiência quase diretamente relacionada com o tamanho do laço
local entre teu modem DSL e a estação DSL (estação remota da Telefônica que
serve de ponte entre os DSLs da área e o backbone ótico da telefônica) na
outra ponta, portanto se você tiver azar e estiver longe (em metros de cabo.
Morar na cobertura dum edifício alto pode fazer diferença) da estação remota
mais próxima, a performance pode ser bem ruim.  Também ouvi falar que
emissoras AM e ADSL não se dão bem :-)

Lembre-se de prestar atenção pro fato que no DSL a largura de banda de
upload e download podem ser diferentes...

RDSI é limitado a 64kb/s ou 128kb/s dependendo de quantas linhas usa (não
sei qual é a da telefônica). DSL *pode* ser mais rápido que isso, mas
depende do tamanho do laço, de interferências (rádios AM próximas? :-) ), e
se alguém vai ou não por um traffic shaper na outra ponta da linha pra
limitar tua banda na marra.

No primeiro caso, eu conversei bastante com o suporte da Telefônica e
eles, além do NT (network terminal), instalam um outro dispositivo que
será conectado no modem já existente. Não sei o que é; apenas que eles
garantiram que se atinge a velocidade de 128kbps.

Sim, se o adaptador de terminal tiver uma saida para dispositivos

Sorry, I didn't read what you were asking for.  For me, using xdm, I go into

Javascript broken in Netscape 4.74?

it looks  like *nix versions  of Netscape don't support  JavaScript in

my web banking services work under Windows, but give JavaScript errors
under linux (complains about undefined  variables). Now this is a drag

anyone  else  had this  problem?  Are  there  fixes? Are  there  other

Error compiling kernel

2000-09-07 Thread Gutierrez Family




Hi everyone,

I tried to re-compile the kernel (to include 
generic SCSI support for my scanner) and ran into problems. Here's what I 
did - as far as I can remember (following the instructions in the README file 
found in the kernel source directory):

1) logged in as root
1) ran the xconfig program and selected my 
options
2) ran 'make dep' (from within 
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17/)
2) ran 'make zImage' ( also from 
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17/) and it compiled for quite a while until I got 
the following message:

nm vmlinux | grep -v 
'\(compiled\)\|\(\.o$\)\|\( [aU] \)\|\(\.\.ng$\)\|\(LASH[RL]DI\)' | sort

Re: DHCP client setup for @Home

2000-09-07 Thread Phil Brutsche
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said...

 So, does this mean that if I try and install potato on my home system
 using the boot floppies (to avoid having to burn 1 or more CDs) and I
 select the DHCP net configuration option for doing a network/internet
 install that the installation will fail ?

In my experience it does:

pump fails to correctly configure /etc/resolv.conf which kinda makes
installing off a network kinda hard.

 Is this a bug in pump ? If it fails to work (for an @Home setup like
 mine) then why is pump allowed into potato or debian at all ?

Bug in pump: unknown to me.  the code is in the executable, but it doesn't
seem to work.

My experience:

I've tried a couple times to install pump on a SPARC classic, and used
DHCP to configure the interface.  When it came time to install the base
system (there's no CD and it's a blank HD) I had to use the NFS server's
IP number rather than the hostname: DNS lookups were failing.

After the system was installed and running, trying to fix /etc/resolv.conf
showed me the file didn't exist.

pump in potato: I dunno.  Lack of disk space?

 I plan to reinstall potato on my home system using the boot floppies
 over the weekend and will see how well the DHCP configuration works
 then.

Let me know, you might have better luck on a PC.

   you can start specifying all the hardware, i found that [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
   would
   lock my BP6 *EVERY SINGLE TIME* it was like clockwork. so if you have a
   BP6 ..replace it. or take the 2nd cpu out. see
   http://www.snurgle.org/~griffon/bp6-linux.html for more info.
  
   you can also get a program called cpuburn to burn in the cpu, cpuburn
   also comes with a chipset tester(only supports a few chipsets). there
   are several memory checkers available(see freshmeat)
  
   if you don't have a BP6, run stress tests on it, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a 
   great
   program to stress the cpu/cache/memory/IDE controllers/hdds.  for a
   128MB machine 7 copies of [EMAIL PROTECTED] running at the same time for 
   2-3
   days is a good test i've found. for 256MB maybe increase it to 12. etc
   etc. (im sure that rc5 is just as good as seti but ive never tried it
   myself)
  
   run this in console mode, make sure there is no X at all running. if it
   passes the test, then run (from inside X) x11perf -all (cant believe i
   remembered that command! last week i couldnt..) that will run a series
   of graphics tests, it can take hours to complete, if the machine does
   not lock up, run it again, or maybe try loading it a 2nd time and run 2
   copies(not sure if that would work) if that all passes .then it may
   be safe to say the system is pretty stable and just xseti is buggy(which
   last i saw their readme strongly iterates it is beta/alpha software)

 I've had  errors such as { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }  twice and
 both times it just got worse to the point the drives crashed. 
 One of the drives I quit trying to use for a couple weeks and
 accidently booted into it, and it worked fine, I copied what I wanted
 and kept using it and then it crashed again.  I've read that happening
 to other people also.  At any rate if I were you I would copy that drive
 pronto.  Search the archives for a fix.  I've seen people post them but
 they never worked for me.

and applied those to my 2.2.15 source tree in /usr/src/linux (-

something about reverse patch...however, I continued pressing enter until

at the last step I got that error message.I have not make

Also, I trashed my / when I enabled dma via hdparm..and I have no idea how
to recoverI ran fsck and e2fsck over the / partition and numerous error

Sun xterm revisited.

  OK.  I asked for help once before on this.  I now need this fixed so I am
  back to it.
  
  I have Debian potato running at this time.  I did use Debian slink working
  fine.  I saved the etc and other configuration data off the old slink
  system on CD so I could use it to rebuild my system with.  I have
  everything set up the way that I had it before and am still not able to
  get the Sun xterms working.  I have set the tty0, tty2 and console on the
  xterm directory and the debian directory to be readwrite by the world.  I
  still get the same error messages.  I have run through all my thoughts on
  this and I have not gotten anywhere.  I think the xfs is working but that
  is one of the error messages.
  Here is the error messages on the console of the bootp computer:
  
  fh_verify: dev/tty2 permission failure, acc=8, error=30
  fh_verify: dev/console permission failure, acc=8, error=30
  fh_verify: dev/tty0 permission failure, acc=8, error=30
  

I get these also - I believe its something to do with it trying 
to change permissions on devices in a read-only file system.
(I had to do a hack to the 2.2.* kernel code to ignore this error - it 
should be a problem for the kernels that you are running).


  Here is the error messages on the Xterm boot screen:
  
  pexextensioninit: couldn't open default pex font file roman_mcouldn't load
  xkb keymap, falling back to pre-xkb keymap
  xdmcp fatal error: manager unwilling host unwilling
   

looks more like an xdm error, more than anything else...

What does you /var/tmp/xdm-errors look like :

Only been on Debian for a week, but here goes - just wanted to
point to some helpful docs etc

In the /usr/share/doc/kernel-package directory there should be
a README file which tells you which packages you need to compile
a kernel in the Debian manner - it's a terrific system.

There are further useful docs in the directory produced when you
untar the source-code - especialy look for a file modules which
explains in some detail how to build them in. 

On the debian website, at the end of the Installation
Instructions for Intel x86 there is a good short guide to
kernel-compiling - I found it a great help.

Hello!

I try to add users to groups with adduser, and

so I can't add a user to more than 32 groups.

Is there a limitation to 32 of maximum number of groups

If it is, can be changed to 64?

vmware can mount an iso9660 image as a vmware virtual disk. of course
once you have linux installed u can have linux mount the image ..

having the real cd saves (me at least) a lot of pain and trouble that i

The default kernels (and also those on potato therefor) do not

'make menuconfig or xconfig'

There are 2 ways of getting debian on reiserfs... either create your own
boot/root floppies, with the added tools mkreiserfs and a kernel with
reiserfs support, or by installing it on another drive first, then
creating a kernel with reiser, creating the new partitions and copying all
files over to the new partitions... (use tar or cpio)

There might even be some reiser bootfloppies floating around the internet
scan google for them... baybe you're lucky.

Re: KDE debs

2000-09-07 Thread Danny Pansters
Hi everyone,

The kde.tdyc.com Woody tree for kde2 has been emptied, I'm sure of it because I
used to apt kde2 from there. I happened to have been reinstalling my Woody box
from scratch yesterday (the 6th), starting from a couple of potato disks. All
went well, but when it came to installing kde2 binaries I had to use the potato
branch instead. One would expect it to be the same packages, but I doubt if
everything is cleanly organized at the moment; at least the kde2 install wasn't
good, it froze on startup with its dcopserver not starting. I had to revert to
kde1.1.2 because I couldn't solve it.

I did also compile kde2 from source a week or two ago. You need to compile qt2.2
first. It worked but wasn't very stable; at least I could use konqueror and
koffice from within kde1.1.2. Binary deb packages are of course much easier.

Anyway, I hope that the kde2 debs will be added to the normal debian mirrors
soon and hopefully they'll recompile them and check their cooperation with the
normal Debian X scripts. Debian is the only distro, I'm afraid to say, that gave
me and for some reason is continuing to give me troubles with kde. 

I certainly hope the most recent and fully incomprehensible RMS rants against
the kde project (*after* the GPL'ing of qt was announced - see yesterday's
slashdot) have nothing to do with this, otherwise I just might switch to
Slackware or freebsd.

If anyone knows anything more about this I'd be more than happy to hear about
it.

 I solved this problem with a little script:
 
 #!/bin/bash
 gpg .dev.gpg  /dev/null
 emacs .dev
 rm .dev.gpg
 gpg -r Philipp Schulte -e .dev
 rm .dev
 rm .dev~
 

a nicer way of doing this would be to write a defun in emacs

my-load-file

so - it loads a file into a buffer - if the file has certain
traits that encrypted files do (ie: GPG headers) pipe it
through gpg file (mailcrypt does this nicely). 

and also write 

my-save-file

which does the opposite - and maybe we keep track of what files have to be 
encrypted.

C-x C-f calls my-load-file
C-x C-s calls my-save-file


of course emacs needs to be patches to only put its temp files in 
an encrypted loopback and we index them so we know where they 
are related.

SB Live kernel sound

2000-09-07 Thread Jonathan Wheelhouse
Hi

I'm forwarding this message again because it didn't seem to get to the
list; I will add a couple of questions.

I recently installed Potato and now would like to set up sound.

I have already read on the mailing list some stuff about installing
sound support but would like to check a few things with you.

Some people say to install from unstable the debs for ALSA and then
run alsaconf.  A couple of questions - I could change my sources to
point at unstable but I don't want to upgrade to woody so how do I get
just the debs for ALSA without upgrading?

Some Howtos I've read say that I should make sure sound is compiled
into the kernel.  How do I tell if sound is compiled in?  Does the
potato kernel come with sound already compiled in?

So, do I only have to install the ALSA debs and run alsaconf and
that's it or do I have to do more to get sound working?

I found on the linuxnewbie site some useful information about
installing the emu10k1 driver from opensource.creative.com
(www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/soundcards/sblive.html).  This is a
second way that is documented (as far as I can tell) in a better way
(ie. a specific do this, then that, etc) at a level I can understand
so I'm tempted to follow it.

However, what is the Debian way? The debs or creative's way?
(Don't tell me it's whatever works :-)

Thanks
Jonathan

that error typically happens when you have a symlink pointing to
itself (LinuxPPC usually does this in the default install, /dev/cdrom
- /dev/cdrom)  check to see what ls -l /dev/sdc0 is. 

are you sure you don't have fstab pointing at /dev/cdrom which is a
symlink to /dev/cdrom?

It doesn't seem to work with version 2801 (although it does get the of the

Take a look to the attached file. It connects with 'pon' and waits

this:

  wget -c ftp://file-you-want-to-get

And if you want to disconnect after the download, add poff at the

Add the contrab entry in your user's home directory ~/.crontab file
and then run crontab from it, so the file will be saved directly in
your home directory. If you want, you can cd to the wanted directory
before the wget command.

kde2 window manager

Hi,

I've installed kde2 packages for potato (before Qt went
GPL). Almost everything is working fine, except I'm not being able to
start kwm either from kdm or from console (using startkde).
Also, looking at /etc/X11 I found I don't have a window-manager
file anymore (just a window-manager~). 
Where should I put a line to teach kdm I also have kwm
installed, so that it lists kwm in the window manager poplist option?
Thanks!
PS.: I've found the kde.tdyc.com kde2/potato dir is being
emptied. Will I be able to found potato kde2 packages in the future or
I'll have to switch to woody in order to have kde2?

  We are gettting thounsands of these messages. However, the
  server still runs ok, but some files are damaged randomly.
 
 I'm afraid this is a phisical disk error. I got this kind of errors on
 a disk I had and it was really bad... It worked but sometimes
 corrupted files because of wrong sectors.

I had similar errors on a drive that got corrupted from a
power interruption. I had to reinstall, but it worked fine after that.

what are these things?

2000-09-07 Thread balayo
hey list

I'd love to identify some mystery files in my home
directory. there are 14 of them.  they are big, and
apparently binary. they are: xaa thru xam, and the last
one is xxml.el.  Just noticed them yesterday.

I have been updating and installing new stuff (including an
emacs package).  I looked through some logs, but still am 
mystified.  I don't suspect foul play, because the files are 
too obvious.

do these file names ring a bell for anyone?

Please cc, I'm not currently subscribed. Thanks.

The x?? files were probably created by split. Thry 

cat x?? | file -

to find what the original file was.
The xxml.el is probably an Emacs Lisp source - just read it (eg. by less)
to find out more.

Re: Editing and storing encrypted files

 Hi,
 
 I have some files that I would like to store encrypted. Of course I can
 just type them in, encrypt them using gpg and delete the original, but
 that seems to be a bit of a kludge. It would mean the file is at some
 time readable unencrypted (after saving in the editor), and forgetting
 to turn off the backup file option in the editor when changing the file.
 
 There must be better solutions, but I can't seem to find them. What I
 would like to have is an editor that has built-in encryption or gpg
 integration, and the option not to store any non-encrypted data on disk
 or on the clipboard.
 
 Is something like this available?

Try seahorse package.  You can decrypt from file to text editor,
edit text, then encrypt it back into file.  I use it like this.

But maybe you don't have you graphics card setup properly and it can't
start 32 bpp mode...

Check also the last lines of /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.

Bye!

Re: Help needed: how to set DefaultColorDepth to 32]

 i am naively using gdm.  where do i go to edit the color depth setting.


/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf

look at the end of the file; there is a line like this:

0=/usr/bin/X11/X vt7

replace with:

0=/usr/bin/X11/X vt7 -bpp 32

And should be ok.
Hope this helps...
