Programa de edición de video
Mi pregunta es si hay para linux un programa que permita, editar (copiar y pegar trozos) de videos (por lo menos avi y mpeg) y tambien cambiar de un formato a otro. Saludos y gracias.
problema grabadora
Hola (Eurielec=versión que habia hace tiempo de RedHat en castellano) Tengo un Pentium II 450 MHz con una tarjeta SCSI Adaptec AHA-152x y una grabadora externa Philips CDD-2000. Tambien tengo un CD-ROM SCSI intenreto Pioneer 12x y un Magneto-Optico Fujitsu 230MB externo. Primero, hace años, usaba Eurielec 2.0 con el kernel 2.0.x y no tuve problemas con la grabadora. Cuando pasé al kernel 2.2.x con eurielec 2.0 todo iba bien, si recuerdo bien (hace más de un año y ahora tengo mis dudas) Con Eurielec 3.0 se me colgaba el equipo al intentar grabar con cdrecord (o xcdroast, evidentemente). Sencillamente, cuando iba a empezar, se colgaba todo, hasta el mouse, los pings desde la red local, etc. Con Eurielec 3.0 cambié varias veces el kernel, 2.2.0, 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.10, 2.2.14 si recuerdo bien (quizás hay otras) y apliqué varios parches en el kernel relacionado con el SCSI pero nada. Y hace una semana puse Debian Potato (kernel 2.2.17) y sigue pasando lo mismo :-( No sé qué pensar, problema solo de hard no puede ser pq. aún tengo un kernel 2.0.x para grabar :-( pero se me hace muy extraño que ningún 2.2.x pueda grabar con él... alguien tiene una idea? a alguien más le ha pasado? busqué en las news pero no encontré nada, ni por internet (hace tiempo, lo volveré a intentar) No os envio el log de cdrecord pq. no estoy en casa pero va normal y se cuelga, creo que hasta inicia la sesión y graba algo (unos segundos) pero tampoco estoy seguro.

Problema basico con Exim
Hola. Viendo en la lista que mucha gente usa exim y mutt, y por lo que algunos de vosotros me comentásteis en mi anterior mail, he decidido instalar ambos. Tengo los CD de la Debian Citius 2.1 que regaló en su día Linux Actual. Aunque me gustaría actualizarme a potato... (¿alguna revista o precio asequible?, es que por internet ...). Ayer noche intenté ponerme mano a la obra, y cual fue mi sorpresa que exim no terminó de instalarse, o mejor dicho, de configurarse. No hubo ningún problema de dependencias, pero en la fase de configuración aparecía un mensaje tal que: Exim no puede finalizó la configuración: usuario 'mail' no válido. Creo que tiene que ver con que eliminé todos los usuarios no necesarios de passw y shadow... pero no sé. Evidentemente intenté proseguir instalando mutt 0.95 pero también se quejó: no hay mta configurado para el envío de correo, o algo así. ...por eso este mail lo escribo desde W98. :-))) Muchas Gracias por arrojar luz necesaria.

Para copiarme la potato?
Siento volver a preguntar esto, pero ahora que un amigo me la va a bajar, en ftp.gul.uc3m.es hay DOS directorios con los CDs de Debian (imagenes_oficiales_debian y imagenes_debian), pero ahora no se cuales bajarme. Supongo que las oficiales cumpliran el MD5SUM del master-site, pero solo hay 3cd, no falta un cuarto? En cambio, en la carpeta no oficial hay 4 imagenes (de distinto tamaño) con su MD5SUM, que no es igual al del master site. Y digo yo, que diferencia hay entre los dos directorios (en los 3 primeros cds) y pq en un directorio hay un cd mas? Por ahi dice que el 4º CD son los non-free, que por tanto no pueden estar en la distribucion oficial, pero que distingue a los otros tres? Gracias de antemano __ Do You Yahoo!?

Y sí, An important new set of features have been checked into apt's development cvs branch. They allow apt to pin packages at a particular version or Debian release, so they will not be upgraded even if apt sees that newer versions are available. This makes it possible to add both stable and unstable to sources.list, configure apt to only use stable by default, and override apt at the command line as needed to easily download packages from unstable. Other uses include downgrading, and controlling how apt uses third party repositories such as Helix GNOME, and other things we are only beginning to think of. Jason Gunthorpe adds, Sadly, I don't have a complete set of docs for this function yet, and I'm not finished my major source-incompatible changes to the library so this code isn't going into unstable for a good while yet. De todas formas, mientras disponemos del nuevo apt, la solución hold será efectiva. Además he colocado la siguiente línea en el `/etc/apt/apt.conf': APT::Ignore-Hold true; Saludos. -- __ Cosme P.

Re: FA310TX (tulip) and potato
I've been using tulip/fa310tx combos for over a year now with great success. The key is that there are 2 different fa310tx cards out there. Rev 1 doesn't play nice with linux, whereas Rev 2 works great. There is a subtle difference in the serial number scheme which is detailed on the netgear website and in the linux installation instructions on the driver floppy (which comes with an old tulip.c file). Evan DiBiase wrote: Hello, I have been trying (over the course of the last few days) to perform a network install of Debian potato release on my system which contains a Netgear FA310TX network card which uses the tulip driver.

However, the network card just can't seem to get a response from any computer inside the local network or outside! The lights on the hub flash, but there is no response from any of the local computers during a ping request nor from the DNS server when the install program attempts to download the base install set.

I've never done it, but I think just editing /etc/apt/sources.list to point to 'potato' instead of 'woody', then 'apt-get dist-upgrade', will do it. apt-get friends just know that woody and potato are different distributions; they don't know that one is more 'advanced' than the other. YMMV. Aaron, MMWY. Because the woody packages have the same or a higher version number, apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't install _any_ packages. I got a hint though: dpkg -i -E -O -R --force-downgrade path-to-potato-binary-i386 may do the job, but is of course dangerous. Hmm. -- Andre

Re: off topic - scsi partitions swap raid
Concur with Wesley - raid on one drive is like mounting a ramdisk as /tmp - pointless because any benefits from the technique are nullified by the way you've done it. Now for: raid 0 (striping) min drives 2, reads and writes faster, no reduncancy. raid 1 min drives 3, 2/3 of your total disk space is available. Fault tolerant. raid 4 min drives 3(?) One whole drive is for parity. raid 5 min drives 3, distributed parity bits, allows one disk to fail. raid 6 min drives 4, distributed parity bits, allows for two disks to fail. I'd recommend two more 18 Gb drives for a speedy 54 Gb raid 0, or a 36 Gb raid 1 or 5. (from the guy who has been playing with raid on three 80 Mb conner scsi drives.) (next plan is to make a raid 0 or 5 over a raid0(80+80+80) + raid0(80+160) + 250 Mb drives. Need more power supplies first :) At 03:31 PM 9/20/00 -0500, you wrote: I picked up a 18 gig drive.

I just tried installing a .deb from an old CD, and I used apt-cdrom. Somehow, it must have decided to remove a lot of my applications the next time I ran dselect.

Is there a way to return to the previous state in dselect, so I can re-install these applications?

Basically, you have to make your mails look from the outside like they are coming from your ISP. How you do this depends a lot on the MTA that you are using. For qmail (which I use), it's merely a matter of setting the QMAILHOST and QMAILUSER environment variables before you send the email, which sets the envelope sender. I'm sure there are equally easy ways to do it using other MTAs, but I don't know what they are. A better way is to maybe use your ISP as a smarthost, but then, I'm not sure if most smarthosts re-write the envelope senders.

Question about upgrading to version 2.2
It's that time again! My wife is out of town for a few days, so I can sit down and make my annual attempt to install Debian Linux. I've been trying since 1997 to get Debian installed, so far without ever getting it into such a state that I can actually use it. My latest attempt resulted in a partial install of version 2.0, with a bunch of brokenly installed packages, and no clear way of fixing them. My questions are these: 1) Can I perform an upgrade to 2.2, with broken packages in the system? I really don't want to install from scratch, as I only have five days available for this attempt, and it took two weeks to get the GUI part working last time. That black and white console screen starts getting old after a while... 2) Is there some magic invocation that can fix the broken packages, or remove them prior to the upgrade? -- Best regards, Peter Hugosson-Miller In Windows 95, no one can hear you scream.

Re: Install of VMware
I'd guess (maybe incorrectly) that you are running a newer version of the kernel than 2.2.12, because the latest release of VMWare for Linux (2.02, build 621) has precompiled modules for kernels up to 2.2.15 including 2.2.12. So if you are actually running 2.2.12, then VMware should have just used it's pre-compiled modules. The precompiled VMware modules should be located in: /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary As the other message said, you can check your kernel version with 'uname -r'. Also, hopefully you are installing using the tar.gz file and not the rpm file. Many who have tried installing on Debian with the rpm (via alien) have had problems. The tar.gz install went very smoothly here on potato. I've recompiled the VMware modules a few times as I've upgraded to newer kernels. Tom John C. Plummer wrote: Hi, Found in the archives that others have loaded vmware on Debian 2.2 w/o too much difficulty. But I had one small problem trying with the install of the current release for Linux.

It erred with a message that there might be a slight inconsistency between the current kernel and the source headers. Its recommendation was to rebuild the kernel with those headers.

Network configuration questions
After a move I went from a cable modem w/static ip to DSL with dhcp. I'm trying to figure out what configuration changes to make to my machine. Since this is a dhcp machine now, what should I put in /etc/hostname? I tried putting a hostname in there and defining hostname as 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts, but sendmail puts errors in my mail logs saying I can't qualify hostname. Using short name instead. I'm assuming that this may cause problems. Email from my machine may get filtered by anti-spam bots, for example. I've also noticed that sendmail puts my old machine name (from my previous static ip cable modem configuration) in the From line (not From:) in outgoing email. This is probably a bad thing too. How can I fix that? This also brings up the bigger question of where the machine's hostname and domain name are actually defined. I had always thought the hostname was set in /etc/hostname and the domain name was set by the search line in /etc/resolv.conf. My recent experience with sendmail leads me to think otherwise, however. BTW: I am considering switching to exim. Does it have features that would help it play nicer on dhcp configured machines? Thanks in advance for the help. -- Cory T. Echols [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FA310TX (tulip) and potato
Evan DiBiase [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Yes, this is the second comment I've heard to the effect of the FA310TX is not worth the circuit board it's printed on. I've always had nothing but luck with them, and I don't particularly feel like purchasing a 3Com NIC and getting it shipped overnight, but that looks like it may be the only option. Sadly, I've tried the latest drivers and encounter the same problems. ::sigh:: Looks like Outpost.com is going to get some more of my business tonight, unless I can get this thing to work... Thanks for your advice, though, this isn't to say that I don't appreciate it :) I'd just rather not buy anything more right now :\ Well, just to offer a counterpoint, I've got 3 of these beauties. One in a machine dual booting Win98/Debian potato and two in a PPro 200 system I use as a firewall/router/masq. One FA310TX in each system is attached to a Netgear 8-port hub, and the second NIC in the PPro is attached to a Cisco 675 DSL modem. I have had ZERO trouble with the cards! Two of the cards I purchased over a year ago, and the second card in the firewall I purchased at CompUSA a week ago. I was expecting some trouble with the dual-NIC system but experienced absolutely none. The second card was automatically detected by the tulip module and I was off and running. There's always a chance you got a bad card. Might call up their tech support and see what they have to say. Good luck, Gary

Re: Which netscape version works?
There is a newer version - 4.75, which seems *slightly* less buggy for me.

using apt-get to install unstable packages
Hi, I've installed potato but am looking to get my intel810 sound chipset to work, this requires the latest version of ALSA, but the ALSA that comes with potato isn't. So, can I use apt-get to install from the unstable packages list that contains a more recent version of ALSA? Even though I'm running potato/stable? I've so far tried downloading the .deb's from woody and using dpkg but it failed the install horribly, I believe I'm now at a half state of woody ALSA and potato ALSA. I've also tried compiling it by hand, and after downloading all the tarballs, and compiling the kernel (just to get a version.h) it crapped out on something else (that I have no idea about or the will to figure it out right now) and thought there's got to be an easier way. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance Jason Hammerschmidt

*.dom-three.com: dom-three.com
^D
(i'm indenting for clarity, you understand... cutpaste
at your own risk... :)
the /etc/exim/DOMAINS file is a 'table-lookup' sheet relating incoming
email domains to their alias files. you can have several domains 'point'
to one file (see dom-uno and dom-one above) if you like.
in the example above, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be
referred through the alias file /etc/exim/dom-twoHMM.com, where
email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would instead wind up using the
/etc/exim/dom-two.com aliases: the first matches dom-two.com
exactly, the second would match *.dom-two.com instead. cool!
(and given the setup for dom-twoHMM.com, all messages wind up
going to 'luckysoul'.)
you can also make sure that you catch undelivered mail to certain
hosts this way: see '* systemwonk' in /etc/exim/dom-two.com above.
here's how you tell exim to use that table-lookup arrangement:
in /etc/exim.conf put
local_domains =
localhost:*.main.domain.com:partial-lsearch;/etc/exim/DOMAINS
and then further down, in the DIRECTORS section BEFORE the /etc/aliases
rule--
# check aliases for virtual hosts --
# virtual hostname-alias file mapping is in /etc/exim/DOMAINS
# alias@hostname-is in /etc/exim/virtual from DOMAINS
# and global default aliases '*: someone' is possible in each
# virtual host alias file, because we use 'search_type=lsearch*'
virtual_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
domains = partial-lsearch;/etc/exim/DOMAINS
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
file = /etc/exim/${domain_data}
search_type = lsearch*
(if you put this after the /etc/aliases file, then those will override the
domain-specific aliases. if that's what you want, then by all means do so.
configuration files are a pain to figure out, but there's a whole lotta
power in them thar files...)
i predict it'll take three hours of uninterrupted concentration on the
exim.conf possibilities before you grok the lsearch (or any search)
facility -- and once you do, look out!
CAVEAT -- this will get unweildy in a hurry if you have a large number
of users and/or a large number of domains. there are alternatives,
but once you figure out this part, you can probably figure out the
next steps...

as with everything else, yes. and no. most of it should be distro independent, but off hand i can think of one thing which may NOT be distro independent -- your FontPath directives. i don't think there are others, but there might be. also note that the location of the file itself is distro dependent. pete On Thu, 21 Sep 2000, Ray Percival wrote: Just switched from Red Hat I *will* get this to work in order to get the advantages of Debian.

I'm looking for helix code Gnome 1.2 in particular but would really like general info. Also is X 4.x apt-getable and if not how do you do a .deb that is not. Thanks for your help. Ray X 4 is not officially packaged yet. Doing so involves a significant change to Debian. It will appear though. As for a apt-get tutorial, one is attached to this message. And as always, look in /usr/share/doc/package. To find out what is available, the best way is to use either dselect or console-apt. Both of these give a console, curses based GUI. apt.howto Description: Binary data

Re: More X questions.....
Hi, Just switched from Red Hat I *will* get this to work in order to get the advantages of Debian. Thank you all for your help so far. I just had a thought I have copies of my X config files from RH setting around. Are these files distro specific? The only thing I'm having trouble with is X everything else is great *very* cool. Once again thanks. No, the X config file is not Distro specific. You just cant mix 3.X config files with 4.X . Just place your config file in /etc/X11 . Jens
Re: /etc/init.d/network v. /etc/network/*

We've got a balky server which doesn't like coming on-line (and occasionally likes going off) when it boots. I suspect multiple network config upfsckage. Docs I've been able to find are less than crystal on the distinction between these files. what i've seen says that /etc/init.d/* are SCRIPTS that are run when entering various runlevels (rcS at startup, rc2 when entering runlevel 2...) and /etc/network/* are the CONFIGURATION files for various network facilities. % man interfaces will tell you about the /etc/network/interfaces file.
Re: More X questions.....
If you copy a RedHat XF86Config file, remove the line FontPathunix/:-1 and replace with FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic:unscaled FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi RH uses an X Font Server, Debian doesn't (at least potato doesn't).
