Re: CD-RW en puerto paralelo - Lo he conseguido

Descargé el cdrecord 1.8.1 con el .tar.gz, hice make y funcionó. Solo hacen falta los modulos paride, epat y pg para una 7x00 de HP. Nada de SCSI ni emulación IDE-SCSI. Gracias y saludos. Pero yo tengo el cdrecord de slink y me funciona, conemulacion scsi eso si. De todos modos te mando mi configuracion del kernel a tu direccion particular. Blu.

Re: usuarios virt. en cyrus
A ver si yo te he entendido. Si, cyrus puede tener cuentas de usuario que no existan en el sistema como tales. Tienes que entrar en el servidor con la instrucción cyradm localhost y con usuario cyrus y password que le hayas dado en la instalación (si es que este es el administrador). Una vez echo esto ejecutas la instrucción cm user.(nombreusuario) y ya lo tendrás creado. Luego le asignas un passwd. A partir de aquí puedes asignarle quotas, etc. En www.ldp.org hay un documento sobre como instalar y configurar el servidor cyrus. El problema que hay y que todavía no sé como hacerlo es asignar alias a usuarios, o sea que el usuario pepito recoja correo destinado a usuario pepe,etc. Espero haberte ayudado en algo. --- TooMany [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: On Thu, Vamos a ver...

Generar las imágenes de woody
Buenas a todo kiski :). hace unos días que tuve un problema para poder conseguir las imágenes de woody para probarla con un domino server y un motor de base de datos Oracle. Un compañero de la lista (muchas gracias por todo Antonio) me ofreció los cds de woody comprados a opencd gratis para poder hacer las pruebas necesarias. Resultó que Oracle hacía un core dump en su instalación debido a las librerías de sistema de woody. Miré en los servidores debian y esos archivos habían sido actualizados hace poco. Entonces decidí buscar y descargar las imágenes nuevas y actualizadas. Descubrí un servidor aquí en españa para descargar susodichas imágenes. El problema era que es demasiado lento y no conseguí descargar ni una porque se me cortaba la conexión y eso que probé de todo (ftp, rsync, etc). Al final he tenido que instalar una SuSE 6.4 para hacer el invento. No me digais que use potato porque hay paquetes demasiado antiguos para realizar este montaje. Y además ya lo he probado. Pero es que ahora es algo personal. Quiero saber como se crean las imágenes iso a partir de los servidores de debian. Sé que se utiliza el paquete debian-cd, pero no lo puedo utilizar porque he de usar la versión hamm (Debian 2.0). No me mireis así porque no es culpa mía (estoy realizando una auditoría de los sistemas de esta empresa y os aseguro que es una ardua faena) y tengo probihido realizar ninguna actualización y eso que está que se cae. O sea que he realizar esas imágenes con comandos standar. Es posible ??. Y si lo es, alguien me puede explicar como???. De antemano gracias a todos ... _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Generar_las_imágenes_de_woody

Re: Problema basico con Exim
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. Moraleja: Esos usuarios que creías que no eran necesarios en realidad sí lo eran :-) En general no debe tocarse nada que el sistema te ponga por debajo del uid 1000. La mejor forma que se me ocurre de volver a crear no solamente el usuario mail sino posiblemente todos los demás que te hayas cargado es ejecutando la orden update-passwd del paquete base-passwd. Suerte y que te funcione.

Copy libc.so.6 from another machine onto floppies (might have to use 'split' and put it on multiple disks. Tomsrtbt has cat, tar and gzip, so putting it back together shouldn't be a problem). Copy libc.so.6 to the filesystem. ...and Bob's your uncle. Matthew

If your running gpm, then start X, X can't get the ps/2 mouse because gpm has it. Try changing your XF86Config file to use /dev/gpmdata instead of /dev/psaux.

Rapid beeps and system lock up
A little earlier this evening I did an apt-get upgrade, which picked up about 6 packages. I am getting them from potato and helix-gnome, so probably they came from the latter. I came back well after everything had finished; it all looked OK. I dial up. But when I tried to switch windows, I couldn't and I got a very rapid beeping noise. At first I thought it was my modem having troubles, but I think it was the computer's beeper or even some other hardware (crazy disk accessing?). The only thing I could do was click on the GNOME start menu and select log off. I hit yes when asked to confirm. After that the system was totally unresponsive (though still beeping). ctl-alt-del did nothing (AMD K6-2 CPU and ASUS P5A motherboard). I had to hit the computer's restart switch. Just like MS-Windows (ouch!) Unfortunately the script I recorded with the download vanished (fsck had to fix up the disks), so I can't say exactly what got downloaded. So ... does anyone know what the beeping might indicate? Is this a well-known mode the system gets into? And has anyone else had this problem, or have any ideas what might be going on. The reboot seems to have cleared things up, so I'm not in any pain from the problem--just curious. Thanks.

2.0-2.2 upgrade: Internal error: couldn't perform immediate configuration
Hi all... When trying to upgrade my system, which consists of hamm and a big /usr/local/stow, to potato (using the inofficial CD-ROM set from J.F.Lehmanns), I keep getting internal errors. Preparations: I've installed apt0.3.19 dpkg 1.6.13 (static versions for upgraders) and run apt-cdrom on every cdrom in the set. Mount point /cdrom exists. If libpam0g and libpam0g-util are both installed (either hamm or slink versions), 'apt-get dist-upgrade' fails with E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package libpam0g due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option. E: Internal Error, Could not early remove libpam0g If I use 'apt-get -o APT::Force-LoopBreak=1 dist-upgrade', I simply get E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration Same result if I remove or purge both libpam0g and libpam0g-util before the apt-get. Using google, I found two earlier mailing list postings about the same error message, both of which were related to a bug that was reported to be fixed in apt-0.3.18 (I'm using 0.3.19) and occurred when the user resumed an aborted installation and one of the packages was essential/immediate-configure. Any ideas what to try next... or how to make apt-get issue a more verbose error message about what it has been trying to do?

Partition Magic Help?
Hi, this is somewhat related to the newsgroup (as I was also going to be using Partition Magic to set up some linux space). I was installing BEOS which comes with a special addition partition magic (I also have the regular version) and it was in the middle of installing a BEOS partition when it quit saying it found to many lost clusters. When Windows started again and I loaded Partition Magic, I noticed my g, h, and i partitions on my 40 gig were gone, and now there's just 30 gigs of used space (yes, it says used, no free space) with an EB status. Does anyone know what the EB means, and is there any way to get my data from those partitions back? I'm extremely desperate here.

Version control mailing list announced
Hi, I have spent some time helping newbies to get around RCS for home or school development projects, and I started using CVS a few month ago for learning it. I was using ClearCase at my company for two years and helped a lot of new colleges to start with it. I realized that version control has some features which are not depending on the tool you use. My mailing list tries to help people in these general problems. My other goal would be to help people to chose the most suitable versioning tool for their projects.

why no apm after re-install and support selected in recompiled kernel?
Hey I've got sound!! But also another problem. APM seems to have disappeared. After my first install of Potato I recompiled the kernel trying to organise sound and APM - simply clicked on the first enable apm option and it worked nicely, powering down when we get to the power off message at shutdown. For various reasons I decided to re-install (all bad no doubt) and now after five recompiles I cannot persuade the kernel to work, despite having asked for it to be built into the kernel. (I still have the problem that a recompiled kernel simply cannot find the modules I asked to be installed, this despite several detailed and very helpful answers on the list) Is there a package that I haven't installed this time round that must have been there by default on my first try?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have a look what it does. In the meantime I've solved the problem by trial and error. I found that it was the DNS which wasn't working. I use the inbuild DNS server of the ISDN router, so I looked at its statistics and found addresses like www.altavista.com.local.net and so on, i.e. local.net appended to all addresses. So I realised why queries by host names didn't work whereas the IP ones did (I hadn't realised that in my previous post). Then I found that the entry search local.net in /etc/resolv.conf was causing this behaviour. Since I removed it, it works. But in the meantime somebody else told me that the search local.net /should/ be present. Could somebody please explain to me what this search option in /etc/resolv.conf does? yes. someone can. but they're not here right now. so here's my understanding, which is probably 173 degrees off: if you ask your domain server to resolve bubba and it's got a resolve.conf like search high.and.low it'll try to find bubba.high.and.low bubba.and.low bubba.low bubba (i think, but don't let that stop you from finding out otherwise.) my main site is dontUthink.com and i've got it listed as 'search' in resolv.conf. now i can say ping www or lynx www and i get www.dontUthink.com right away, in both cases. very nice for us lazy types. from 'man resolve.conf' (yes, some config files have their own manpages as i was delighted to learn): search Search list for host-name lookup. The search list is normally determined from the local domain name; by default, it contains only the local domain name. This may be changed by listing the desired domain search path following the search keyword with spaces or tabs separating the names. Most resolver queries will be attempted using each component of the search path in turn until a match is found. Note that this process may be slow and will generate a lot of network traffic if the servers for the listed domains are not local, and that queries will time out if no server is available for one of the domains. The search list is currently limited to six domains with a total of 256 characters.

You might argue that you couldn't care less if people find out what exact browser you are using: if so, just disable the User-Agent mangling completely. The are two main reasons you might want to use junkbuster: 1) reduce ads 2) privacy If the reason you are running junkbuster is just 1, then you will probably get annoyed by junkbuster killing cookies and telling the whole world you are a Macintosh user. I know a lot of people use junkbuster for privacy though, and I believe @ as the User-Agent is still a good default. Mind you, this also tells (clueful) webmasters something. Logs from one quasi-technical site show recent versions of IE well in the lead (35%), with the next most-commonly used single browser configuration being, you guessed it, Mozilla/3.01Gold (Macintosh; I; 68K) -- currently hovering around 2-3%. More than twice the registered Netscape usage. It's a small statement, but monitoring this configuration is going to give some indication of trends in privacy-fortifying software. -- Karsten M.

Re: Info!
to tell the difference. [okay, there are unix ports to various desktop pc's as well. i'm a bit fuzzy on the distinction there.] The distinction is ... linux is a free kernel ... that. Unix is not free; Linux is. :-) Technically, Linux is just a KERNEL. All the rest of the programs are from other sources (mostly stuff from the GNU folks, written under the free GPL, etc). A distribution is a combination of the kernel, the free GNU stuff, and whatever else the distributor wants to bundle in. Which is why Debian distrubtion is called Debian GNU/Linux. (There is a GNU kernel being worked on - called HURD - but don't expect it anytime soon, is what I hear). -- *-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-* Michael Leone mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF --
Re: Partition Magic Help?
Does anyone know what the EB means, and is there any way to get my data from those partitions back? I'm extremely desperate here. You're going to have to call Powerquest Tech Support. Doesn't sound good at all. -- *-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-* Michael Leone mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF --
Re: Netscape 4.75 ??
Netscape sucks. There are no good browsers right now. Wait for Mozilla to mature and maybe we'll have one. In the meantime, this is something we have to put up with. I'm told - altho have not tried it myself - that you can compile and run IE for Unix on a Linux box. Personally - except for the security holes :-) - I prefer IE over Netscape. -- *-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-* Michael Leone mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF --
