 hola,
 es mi primer mensaje a la lista, después de haber instalado potato; es casi 
 la primera vez que me atrevo con Debian, hasta ahora he sido usuario (y no 
 experto) de las otras distribuciones, sobre todo Red Hat, Mandrake y un 
 poco SuSE;
 uso un P200, Ati Mach 64 (sin problemas), SBlaster 16 compatible y una 
 tarjeta NE2000 compatible (ambas reconocidas sin problemas) y moden externo 
 USRobotics; he instalado los módulos correspondientes con modconf (sonido, 
 puerto paralelo, red, ppp), pero me encuentro con algunos problemas 
 derivados de mi desconocimiento de Debian ( o de Linux), concretamente 
 quiero exponer estos dos:
 
 1. cualquier intento de conectar a Internet fracasa; con wvdial, pppconfig, 
 ppp-gnome y kppp, con mensajes de error (demonio muerto súbitamente,...); 
 he revisado /etc/ppp/options y he descomentado la línea lock pero nada; 
 no tenía problemas con RHat; ¿podéis darme una pista?; adjunto mensaje de 
 error, que no sé descifrar:
 pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
 pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to 
 do so.
 pppd: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.)
 
 2. no puedo recompilar el kernel; cuando llego a make bzImage, a pesar de 
 que hace todo el proceso, justo al final devuelve este mensaje de error:
 make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17/arch/i386/boot'

 como es la primera vez que me pasa, tampoco sé cómo interpretarlo, he 
 estado revisando algunos archivos de /boot pero igualmente no me aclaro;
 
 ¿podéis echarme una mano?;
 gracias de antemano

as86: Command not found

Necesitas instalar el ensamblador ya que hay algunas cosas escritas
en código máquina.

 Hola.

 Estoy por comprar una impresora para realizar trabajos gráficos
 (fotografía, publicidad). Hasta ahora la impresión ha sido el punto
 más debil que he conocido en Linux. Por ello pregunto. aunque consulté
 el linux printing no me decido.

 Mis planes son comprar una Epson stylus photo de carro ancho 1270 o
 superior.

 ¿Qué opinan los entendidos? ¿Podré sacarle toda la utilidad a una
 impresora como ésta?

 De antemano gracias.
Si la quieres para trabajar en temas de fotografia y publicidad, y tienes 
dinero la impresa que quieres no esta mal.
Si no quieres tener problemas con la impresora lo mejor que puedes hacer es 
compra que sea postscript o que tenga opcion de targeta postscript con esto 
ya no tendras ningun problema si sabes configurar las impresoras.

Hola a todos ... y perdon por el retraso,

  solo decirles que yo lo instalé el de slink y puse a funcionar en una
mañana siguiendo el /usr/share/doc/nis/nis.debian.howto.gz (como ya
alguien dijo). No tube ningún problema con los shadow. Ahora estoy
incorporando otros ficheros como los del autofs o el printcap. 

Los problemas de seguridad que yo entendí de la documentación que
leí consisten en:

 1.- La información va desencriptada por la red por lo tanto alguien que
este olisqueando puede verla. Lo más crítico son los pasword, aunque
lo que viaja es lo que figura en el fichero shadow, lo cual no es mucho
problema si los password que utiliza la gente son robustos. SOLUCIÓN:
Tener una red medianamente segura.

 2.- Teoricamente cualquiera puede solicitar la información al servidor si
sabe su dirección y dominio. SOLUCION: indicar e el fichero
/etc/ypserv.securenets la lista de ips que son clientes del dominio con lo
cual nadie de fuera puede pedir información al servidor. 

La ventaja que veo en la NIS es que varias aplicaciones estan preparadas
para usarlas directamente y la alternativa LDAP (según se ha indicado) hay
que currarselo con el PAM.

 Hola a todos,
 
   tengo la Potato y me gustaría que el correo se repartiera directamente a
 los directorios $HOME de los usuarios (por ejemplo en $HOME/mail/mbox) 
 para que entraran en la quota de cada uno.  Además alguno de ellos los
 leen a travez del POP, aunque pordrían leer con IMAP. 

Hola, 

  en primer lugar muchas gracias a todos los que respondieron a esta
cuestión.

  La solución que he conseguido consiste en pasarme a exim, que está mejor
documentado, y modificar los fuentes del paquete imap, que tiene servidor
imap y pop.

  En exim bastó con cambiar en el fichero de configuración la siguiente
línea:

  file = /var/spool/mail/${local_part}
por
 
  file = ${home}/Mail/mbox 

  El los fuentes del imap (obtenidos mediante apt-get source imap) 
modifiqué, según se indica en el fichero imap-4.7c/docs/CONFIG, en el
fichero imap-4.7c/src/osdep/unix/env_unix.c la línea: 

   sprintf (tmp,%s/%s,MAILSPOOL,myusername ());

por la

   sprintf (tmp,%s/Mail/mbox,myhomedir ());

y posteriormete obetener los paqute deb (yo lo hice volviendo a ejecutar
'apt-get -compile source imap') e instalandolos con dpkg -i .


  En el sistema es conveniente modificar /etc/login.def para comentar la
línea:

   #MAIL_DIR/var/spool/mail

y añadir:

   MAIL_FILE  Mail/mbox

de esta manera en la shell queda correctamente definida la variable MAIL y
los lectores de correo saben donde buscar el correo nuevo. ... Bueno para
el pine tuve que modificar, en todos los usuarios, el fichero .pinerc
poniendo la línea:

   inbox-path=~/Mail/mbox


  Si alguien está interesado y quiere que le aclare algo, no dude en
ponerse en contacto conmigo.

Con esto, si no me equivoco (estoy escribiendo de memoria), arranca pero no
carga lo que hay en /etc/init.d, al menos no todo, despues podrias entrar

Si tienes el disco de instalacion de la debian (sea cdrom o disquete) 
arráncalo, en vez de volver a instalar la debian selecciona teclado español

tendrás una consola linux a tu disposición. monta la particion raiz de tu

Cuando abro mutt dentro del terminal gnome desde el propio gnome desde la

partir de la segunda.

Lo lanzo con /usr/bin/mutt y tengo marcada la opcion de lanzar desde un

Lo he conseguido, es curioso, tras volver a poner los sostenidos # delante de

# set allow_8bit
# set charset=iso-8859-1
tal como aparece aquí. Antes, sin ellos, no salían los acentos.
Había instalado Potato conservando los ficheros de la Slink (tengo /home en
partición aparte).
Pienso que al usar ahora el paquete user-es, no sea preciso dejar las líneas
ya dichas como comentarios. No lo sé.
Lo que no he conseguido es mandar un mensaje directamente desde la consola, sin
usar Mutt, con los acentos en From:. Seguiré intentándolo.

Claro que es posible. Conecta la salida del reproductor de acetatos a la

Re: pnp, cs4232, als100, als100+

2000-12-12 Thread Julian Armando Mena Zapata
Este, hola a todos nuevamente. Alguna sugerencia diferente a la que me
mandaron (comprar otra ens1370)

 Hola A todos,
 De nuevo con la tarjeta de sonido.
 La ens1370 ya la configure y funciona sin ningun problema, es mas, se la
 regale a un futuro linuxadicto para que no se desanimara.
 Ahora por chicanero necesito configurar ya sea una cs4232 o als100 o
 als100+.
 De primerazo intente como modulos del nucleo propios pero por no saber
 como meterle los parametros (io=0xXXX o io=0xXXX o io0xXXX o lo que sea),
 decidi intentar con alsa. Asi:
 
 directorios
 /usr/src/modules/alsadrivers/
 /usr/src/linux/
 
 comandos 
 en
 /usr/src/modules/alsadrivers/
 le doy 
 ./configure --with-isapnp=yes
 
 en cualquier parte
 export ALSA_CARDS=card-cs4232
 
 en
 /usr/src/linux/ 
 le doy
 make-kpkg --revision=2.2.17pre6-2 kernel_image
 make-kpkg --revision=2.2.17pre6-2 modules_image
 
 Listo, instalo el nucleo y reinicio la PC (nucleo con soporte para sonido,
 pnp, oss)
 
 le doy (por aqui sospecho mi falla)
 pnpdump -rc  borrar
 isapnp borrar
 
 Despues de esto instalo los modulos para la cs4232 (veo la salida de
 isapnp borrar y lo meto en alsaconf)
 
 La tarjeta funciona mal pues si utilizo xmms no puedo parar la
 reproduccion de mp3 pues al pararla no vuelve el sonido y el raton anda,
 para, anda, para.
 
 Con la als100 (compilo pero esta vez con export ALSA_CARDS=card-als100) no
 funciona pues la salida del sonido es con arrastre del raton incluida. La
 tarjeta se configura automaticamente una vez inicializada con isapnp
 
 Ya verifique DMA, IRQ, IO y no identifico conflictos (al menos
 yo no los veo). Funcionan bien en w32.
 
 Eso es lo que pasa. Alguien tiene una sugerencia para resolver el
 problema?

Gracias

 Yo no tuve ningún problema especial con eso. Eso sí, antes instalé

 prepara las cosas para construir un paquete binario, en este caso 
 mediante el comando build-ucspi-tcp.

Re: Que impresora me aconsejan comprar?

2000-12-12 Thread quique
Hola Miguel:

Yo soy un sufridor y desafortunado propietario de una Epson, la verdad es que 
es una pena que
el modelo que tengo (Stylus Color 600) no sea exactamente el que tú quieres, 
pues de haberlo
sido sin dudarlo te hubiese vendido la mía.

Comprendo que si tus exigencias pasan por la fotografía y la publicidad se te 
vayan los ojos
hacia esta marca, en cualquier caso te contaré un par de detalles sobre mi 
impresora que
quizás te guste considerar antes de comprar nada.

Las epson tiene un indicador de tinta que es un fraude.  No sé que contará pero 
desde luego
la tinta NO.  Si quitas un cartucho supuestamente vacío y lo vuelves a meter,
sorprendentemente ese mismo cartucho pasa a estar lleno (obviamente esto no 
ocurriría si
midiera la tinta).  Debe hacer algo como contar las líneas de impresión y 
cuando cree que ya
ha sido suficiente pues nada, a cambiarlo, la impresora SE BLOQUEA y no te deja 
imprimir
hasta que cambias el cartucho, es más, si se acaba sólo el cartucho de color la 
impresora no
te deja imprimir ni siquiera en modo blanco y negro, quedará bloqueada hasta 
que lo cambies.

Los cartuchos que supuestamente están vacíos en realidad no lo están, yo me las 
arreglé para
que piense que cambio el cartucho sin sacarlo, (pues si sacas el cartucho se 
pierde, aun
quede tinta en él, y creéme que sí queda, y bastante además) con este amaño he 
logrado
imprimir casi el doble de lo que permite el super contador de tinta (que no es 
otra cosa que
un chupa tintas).

La impresión de máxima calidad sí que es muy buena y eso, pero tarda
...zz  bastante.
La calidad de los modos de impresión inferiores son una mierda, van más 
rapiditas sí, pero el
modo normal sin ir más lejos no sirve ni para presentar un trabajo medianamente 
serio que
contenga algún que otro gráfico.

Otra cosa, reza para que no se te estropee, el precio de lo recambios es la 
pera, justo en el
límite para no forzar que tires con la impresora y compres una nueva, pero 
vamos, que muy en
el límite.  (Yo de momento he tendio suerte, pero un colega ya pasó por el 
taller y se pensó
muy mucho si arreglarla o tirar con ella.)

En cuanto a la impresión desde el Gimp que han comentado en otro mensaje ... 
quizás yo lo
tenga mal configurado pero la última y primera vez que traté de sacar una 
impresión desde el
Gimp, tras casi media hora de espera, y al ver que no llevaba ni una décima 
parte impresa (de
una A4), opté por abortar el aunto, eso sí, la parte que había salido quedó 
cojonuda, en fin
quizás dejándolo toda la noche ...

De la impresión desde fuera del Gimp no tengo queja, vamos problemas con  Linux 
por ahí no
creo que tengas.

Si a pesar de todo decides comprar una Epson (y recuerda una vez más que lo 
barato muchas
veces sale caro) considera esto.

Cartucho Oficial Epson Negro: unas 4000
Cartucho Oficial Epson Color: unas 5000

La verdad es que creo que los precios andaban por ahí, yo sólo compre los 
primeros oficiales
y ya no recuerdo bien lo que costaban, desde entonces compro los boeder (que 
van de
maravilla)

Negro sobre 1200
Color sobre 2000

También están los pelikan y algunos otros que cuestan más o menos eso y van muy 
finos.

Un saludo,

Quique

Pd.  Si ves que te arreglas con una Stylus Color 600 escríbeme por fuera de la 
lista y
hablamos :-)

init se me come!!!

2000-12-12 Thread Carles Pina i Estany

Hola

Estaba justamente mirando los correo de la debian-user-spanish, cuando veo
en el contador de CPU que tengo al lado del reloj que sube al máximo. CPU
y load average suben mucho..., disco rasca algo

Pienso... vaya, ya me chupan MP3 por la red... voy a mirar el ippl a ver
quien es (siempre tengo un tail -f all.log en una consolo) y coño!
segmentation fault... la última línia era de un ICQ, vuelvo a hacer el
tail y nada, un paquete ICMP del servidor.

Entonces ejecuto top esperando ver un smbd cogiendo CPU y disco y que veo?
  PID USER PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT  LIB %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
1 root  17   0  8316 826868 R   0 84.7 17.7   4:06 init

coño! desde cuando el init se come toda la CPU y mucha memória?

Es una Debian 2.2r1 con bastantes paquetes de Woody...

He hecho un init q y nada

un lsof | grep ^init me devuelve:

pinux:~# lsof | grep ^init

El man init es del 11 de febrero del 2000; no veo qué versión es

Alguien sabe qué puede estar pasando?

Y como hacer que init no lo haga?

Que no sea reiniciar, tengo un uptime de 7 dias XD

Más información! : si voy a una consola, cuando haga exit no me pide
login, se queda muerta (como si no hubiese getty ni nadie, pero el inittab
no se ha tocado y el getty está)

Help!

Parchas la -test10 con la -test11 y luego con la -test12.

Hay un script (en /usr/src/linux/scripts/) que aplica todos los parches
que puedan aplicar automáticamente. Es decir, si tienes la -test10 y en
algun directorio te bajas los parches del -test11 y el -test12 (pueden

Si no cumples este tercer requisito grabarás si, pero con un zumbido de

sonido de la música de entrada. Para cumplir este requisito no tienes más
que conectar eléctricamente la tierra de ambos sistemas.

 ¡Cuidado!, no sólo se necesita tener estas dos cosas:
   
   1) Salida del plato através del amplificador al que esté conectado o

Directo del plato sólo si es de los modelos que tienen un previo de plato
incorporado, es decir, si ya han preamplificado y ecualizado la señal de la
cápsula (son raros y suelen ser malillos). La salida directa de la cápsula
no es adecuada para atacar una entrada de línea. Los vinilos están grabados
con ecualización para mejorar su birriosa relación señal-ruido, y para que
el tono sea el correcto hay que contra-ecualizar, que es lo que hace el
previo, además de amplificar. Lo mejor es usar el plato en la entrada
correspondiente del ampli, y conectar a la tarjeta desde la salida de
grabación.

   2) Software de grabación y edición de audio (para posible mejora por
  filtros del sonido de los vinilos).

Hombre, sobre esto hay opiniones, pero si el disco no está muy mal, el mejor
filtro anti ruido es limpiar bien el disco antes de grabarlo. Y si queda
algo de fritanga... bueno, si la música suena bien uno se termina olvidando.
En general los filtros anti-ruido se cargan el ruido... y todo lo demás.
 
 Hay una tercera muy importante:
 
   3) Potencial eléctrico de referencia común entre el amificador externo

Con la salida de grabación bien conectada no debería haber problema, es

está de más.
  
En fin, mis dos pesetillas...

a point of distinction -- it's not MASK, it's MASQUERADE, or
MASQ for short. packet A gets munged at the firewall/router
so that it MASQUERADES as if it were actually packet B;
the reply then gets re-munged back from B-reply into A-reply,
masquerade-like.

as for the newbie approach to ip-masquerading on debian,
i'd make sure to install the ipmasq package:

apt-get install ipmasq

and much of your headaches and sweat will go away.

there's also much code to look at there, too. makes
for better learning, to see code examples, i think.

Re: Spam admin autoresponder (was Re: mutt question)

2000-12-12 Thread Daniel Stenberg
On Mon, 11 Dec 2000 kmself@ix.netcom.com wrote:

[ clarification; I am the author of spam.pl ]

 I've been looking at both Ricochet and spam.pl over the past week, here's
 my evaluation.  Corrections and/or comments welcomed.

[snip]

   - spam.pl is more elegantly put together and more usefully commented.
 Use of command-line options is closer to GNU/Linux standards than
 ricochet.  These differences make me more inclined to work with
 spam.pl than ricochet if I want to modify a script.  spam.pl also
 appears to be in current development, while ricochet's been static
 for over a year.  On the other hand, ricochet appears to do more of
 the right things.  And I really don't know Perl that well, but we
 can get over this.

I would like to point out a few facts about spam.pl and why it behaves as it
does: I felt an itch and I scratched it. I never planned or intended to write
the perfect spam complainer. I do encourage everyone interested in seeing
changes to subscribe to the mailing list, post patches and discuss new ideas.

Any programmer can learn perl fairly swiftly, it could even be a good
opportunity to get to know it!

   - Both systems appear to allow specifying of specific additional
 addresses to send the spam message to.  In ricochet, the complaint
 letter includes headers, it's trivial to add specified addresses to
 these for receipt or cc.

Adding headers to that file, or have the custom headers in a separate file
would be dead-easy to add.

   - Interactive mode for both programs needs help.

Yeah, spam.pl was supposed to get one but it doesn't currently work.

   - ricochet has a cooler name.  On a serious note, spam.pl really ought
 to be called something like spamresponse, spamtattler, or
 something indicative of its use as a spam _retaliation_ tool.

I couldn't agree more. But I'm a poor sod with a total lack of imagination!
:-)

   - Ability to run the scripts against an 'mbox'-style mail file or to
 pipe through a set of tagged messages from mutt.  Currently both
 tools only accept a single email as input.  The ability to batch and
 background mass responses would be helpful, particularly if more
 intensive research mechanisms such as whois and traceroute lookups
 are used.

I can't see this being very tricky to add.

As a conclusion:

 Yes, spam.pl is actively being developed. It does however fill my needs
pretty good, so I haven't felt much need to add features. Unfortunately, not
many other people have contributed with new features either and thus not many
new things have been added recently.

 Obviously, you have a lot of good ideas of what a program like this should
contain. You, and other interested people, are warmly welcome to join the
spam.pl development and turn it into that perfect tool it could become. Yes,
I'll be happy to change the name!

Further to the dialog below I have investigated all the answers that I
have recieved and found that all are right (great, thanks) except the
answer below!  I am not sure I fully understand this one. 

(gtcd (for X) and cdcd (tty) both use ioclt calls that my kernel/cdrom
like (not sure if it is kernel or cdrom that is creating the error, this
might require a philosphical answer?))

Anyway in reference to Bill's comments below please offer further help. 
Is the kernel option that is being referenced a compile time (.config)
option or is it a boot time option that I would pass the kernel via
lilo? I have gone through the kernel compile configuration using make
config, and make xconfig and can not find the option mentioned.

Thanks,

There is a kernel option to correct the above error:

  If you get this error, try to say Y here:

  hda: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
  hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

  If in doubt, say N.

This can be be turned on, but I don't believe it is in the default kernel.

You could recompile to correct it I believe.  As for the rest they may be 
solely a result of the above problem.

Various methods -- there's more than one way to skin a cat.

My preferred MO is 'import', part of the imagemagick package.  I usually
import the image into 'xv' for some color and brightness adjustment or
resizing.

My own results are visible at 
http://kmself.home.netcom.com/Images/Desktop/.

I've been meaning to add a colophon explaining methods to this page.


Other options:

  - xv allows imports of single or multiple windows.

  - gimp allows screenshotting, also the *best* way to touch up a
complex shot.

  - xwd (X window dump) is the old-fashioned method.  It's slow and the
output needs to be converted to a usable format.  Not recommended.

 correct, and with all the accuracy of the sender's clock.

Good.

 The public key, as the name implies, is often available to anyone
 through the public keyservers: GNU PG is smart enough to query these if
 you tell it to: just add something like:
   keyserver wwwkeys.us.pgp.net
 to your .gnupg/options file.

I just did and dialed up and the header msg changed to checking and then
bad url? That the only address?

My question then, I guess is, since I read mail offline, is to have that
option, when correct turned off.

But back to the second problem, do I have to live with the ocasional
msg then on not finding the public key?

Essentially, yes.  Check the latest docs on how to do a network
installation.  I believe you need to download about 2-3 floppies worth
of boot disk, and a ~15 MB (30MB installed) base root filesystem image.

Everything else installed via apt-get.  I've set up about a half-dozen

 Is the apt-get difficult to set up? 

Nope.  Just set up /etc/apt/sources.list.  The following should get you
started:


# apt package archives

deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib

Automajickally part of the whole schmeil.  That's the great thing.

Well.  If you lose carrier (not too long), you'll reconnect.  If you
need to restart an apt-get dist-upgrade, it will automatically pick up
on the packages it had in process.

My recommendation is to do a ***MINIMAL*** installation first, then to
add functionality to your system slowly.  Give yourself a day or two to
get basic functionality up and running, a week for a core system, and a
couple of months before you consider things largely stable.  My
experience was that I had a *much* deeper understanding of my system
this way.

 It looks like a discman, but plays audio CDs as well as CDR/CDRW's

 And here's the kicker: it's $100.  50 second anti-shock - and it
 works.

Wow, I'd love to get one of those toys, but I still have some
questions which I'd be very grateful if you could answer:

1 - How does it deal with directories? Does it have any
navigation mode? And how about files that have very long
names (I'm thinking of burning CDs with Linux, of course,
making the ISOs with mkisofs);
2 - Does it play Variable Bit Rate MP3s?
3 - What happens if it is told to play a file that is not an
MP3 (say, a .txt file that ended being included on my
ISO)?


Thanks in advance, Roger...

 Hi,
 
 Firstly, thanks to everyone who helped me with my sound card worries, I
 finally have it all working nicely including Audio CD's working.  I have
 had problems with sound for quite a long time so I am pretty damm
 happy.  Anway's, another problem I have had for some time is the inability
 to print.  I have a HP720 hooked to my Windows 2000 box and would really
 like to print from Debian to it.  I also have a NT box which uses the
 printer.  Is it possible that I could print to the network printer?
 My Debian machine goes straight into a Hub which has cable modem going into
 it also and my Windows 2000 and NT machine go into a Linksys router which
 also accesses the cable modem.  The main reason I do not use the router for
 the Debian box is because I have a static IP for hosting my website and a
 domain name that is resolved to the IP.  Not sure if I said to much here
 but thought it might decide if I could or could not network print.
 
 Thanks

Hi Eileen,

if you can ping your box where your printer is connected to, you can print
over your net.
At first you have to share your printer to your network on the windows
side.
At second (from www.cups.org/sam.html):

The second way is through the Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB)
protocol. Support for this protocol is provided with the free SAMBA software
package. You can download SAMBA from:

http://www.samba.org

To configure CUPS for SAMBA, run the following command:

ln -s `which smbspool` /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb ENTER

to install your printer an the debian side:

lpadmin -p NAME_FOR_YOUR_PRINTER -E -v smb://YOUR_W2K/SHARENAME

That´s it,
Florian

Don't.

Certainly not through telnet.  I'd ***STRONGLY*** suggest you remove
the telnet daemon from your system.

Install ssh.  root access is denied by default, but it's safer than
telnet.  Better yet, use sudo.

Hi,

it is a bad habit to acces your system as root via telnet, but if you
really want to:
add a line like this to /etc/securetty:
pts/0
pts/1

These are the terminals which allows root login, so this will enable root
login on two connections.

Better use ssh and Putty if you are working from a windoze machine. It is
more flexible too.

es1371

2000-12-12 Thread romain lerallut
Hello debian-users !

I have a problem using a es1371 sound card (it's really a SB128 PCI).
In a nutshell: the system can't talk to the card...

I am using woody and a kernel 2.2.17

Here's what I did:

recompiling the kernel (sound support: module , es1371: module )
 es1371.o and soundcore.o are in /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc,  OK

reboot.

I see something flashing about a char-major-14 but It's too fast.
 adding a alias char-major-14 es1371 to the /etc/modutils/aliases
 seems to have fixed it. At least I don't get that error anymore. 
(I got this in reading Documentation/sound/Introduction in the kernel source 
tree.)

the es1371 driver gets loaded, no complaint
es1371:  es1371 card found rev8, io=0xe000 , IRQ=11   and so on.
the card is in /proc/pci 


lsmod shows:
es1371  0   unused
soundcore  4  [es1371]

It seems fine until  now.(at least to me)

BUT
- there's nothing in /dev/sndstat  (the file exists but cat /dev/sndstat say 
no such device)
- there's no /proc/sound file
AND
- if I try to use the sound card the whole system freezes.( I experience it 
mostly with 
xmms1.2.3 )

I'd REALLY appreciate someone who uses an es1371 to tell me exactly what I'm 
missing (option something or other).
I've already  RTFMed  /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/es1371 , but there's
scarcely any info in there.

Thanks
Romain

user not authorized to run X, strange variant

2000-12-12 Thread Erik Steffl
  after recent update/upgrade the xdm does not start X and here's the
/var/log/xdm.log:

X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
xdm error (pid 462): server unexpectedly died
xdm error (pid 462): Server for display :0 can't be started, session
disabled

  however, /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config is:

allowed_users=console
nice_value=-10

and indeed, user on console (non-root) can start X server, but xdm
cannot (probably because it's daemon, not a user logged in on the
console).

  bw where are the docs for Xwrapper.config? there is no man page and
dpkg does not even find which package it belongs to:

jojda:/home/erik# dpkg -S Xwrapper.config
dpkg: *Xwrapper.config* not found.

  does it mean that the name is wrong?

Hi!
I have a SB128 working. However I compiled the es1371 into the kernel,
since I had problems with it as a module (don't remember what was the
reason, if I ever found it). Even that way it did not work initially. I
later found out, that my BIOS settings were at fault, since PnP was
enabled and that way the kernel did not see the SB. Now it's working.
You might also try the es1370 driver, since The SB128 can supposedly
also contain that chip.

BTW. You can look at the output during boot with dmsg

HELP: postix does not relay local senders.....

2000-12-12 Thread Bruno Boettcher
Hello,

for some strange reason qmail stopped accepting messages from outer
world, and i found no way to get it work again

so i switched to postfix. now most users are on the machine, but i
have some windows users that use the machine as a relay

Now each time they send a mail i get the following:
Dec 12 11:42:09 erm1 postfix/smtpd[706]: connect from macao.u-strasbg.fr[130.79.
74.63]

.fr
Dec 12 11:42:14 erm1 postfix/smtpd[706]: disconnect from macao.u-strasbg.fr[130.
79.74.63]

 looked into postfix FAQ and found i had to validate some stuff... so i
 added :
 in main.cf
 smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
  permit_mynetworks
check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/client_access
check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_access
check_relay_domains

this failed since it expected to find some .db files now remembering
the old sendmail days i tryed a 
makemap hash /etc/postfix/client_access.db /etc/postfix/client_access

just to notice, that the makemap command isn't there anymore.

looking at what postfix supports i found a line with regexp so can i set
up a file with some regexp?
i simply want to allow all computers between 130.79.74.60-99 to be able
to use the server as relay.

any ideas?

Voodoo 3000 3d acceleration -- look ma, no non-debian-packaged files.

2000-12-12 Thread Gryn
Hellos,

  I'm reading all the documentation I can find, and I'm trying to setup my
machine to use 3d acceleration with my voodoo 3000.  I'd prefer to use only
use debian packages, so my question isn't exactly -how- to do this, but rather
if it's possible! :)

  I've spent about 10 hours reading and experimenting (and luckly not breaking
anything a ctrl-alt-del couldn't fix), and I've had little luck.  The best
I've been able to do is to get the OSMESA library to kick in.  (that is,
software rendering).  Which is annoying, since that's what I started off with
:) .

  Is there a place for debian users to read up on these sorts of specific
issues or is this list actually the appropriate place to ask?

  So, now as I go to sleep I'm asking if you can use Debian packages only and
get hardware acceleration to work.  (p.s. I'm 99% sure I've got the config
files for X windows correct, it seems that it's getting the correct libraries
or something similar to kick in that is my problem).

  Thanks in advance for any help pointers or suggestions.  Hmmm maybe I should
refrain from these sorts of sessions when I have english finals the next
day...  na.

Re: compiling mpg123 with esd support

2000-12-12 Thread Damon Muller
Hi Hubert,

Thanks for your reply.

Quoth Hubert Chan, 
 Did you get the tarball from the mpg123 site, or did you get it from
 Debian?  Getting it from Debian is probably the best.  Make sure your
 sources.list has a correct deb-src line (mine has deb-src
 http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free), and do
 apt-get source mpg123 (you can do this as a regular user).  It will
 download the relevant source files, and unpack into a subdirectory of
 the current directory.  You can even download the Woody source to
 install on your Potato system.  Install the debhelper package too.
 Then, cd into the source directory, and run fakeroot debian/rules
 binary It will create a bunch of deb files in the parent directory of
 the source directory.  Then use dpkg to install them.  If you want to
 change anything, edit the debian/rules file (it's a makefile made
 executable).

That worked fine. Once I had fulfilled the build depenencies (needed to
get some alsa libs, so it could compile the alsa version, even though I
wanted to use it), it compiled into a deb without a problem.

cheers,

damon

Compiling stuff

2000-12-12 Thread Peter Hugosson-Miller

I've just put my brave hat on and compiled my kernel for the first
time. Thanks to Robert Guthrie and his tip to use kernel-package,
and KMDWAF, everything just worked first try!

I do have a couple of questions, though.

1) There were many warnings during the compile, although no errors
that I noticed (bit difficult to be sure, as they flash by so
quickly). Is this normal, or should I be analysing this (this is
2.2.17 from the source on the 2.2r0 CD BTW).

2) I've noticed that my machine boots faster, and some things run
quite a lot faster than before. This I would kind of expect, as I
selected the Pentium II option in xconfig. This got me thinking,
maybe there are other packages that would benifit from being
recompiled. Advice in this area would be most welcome.

3) Everything seems to work OK, but there could still conceivably
be some nasty problems lurking around waiting to be discovered.
Any tips as how I would look for these (or am I just being too
paranoid)?

This last is interesting especially, as if all is well I plan to
go for the 2.2.18 patch to try and talk to my Rio 500 via USB as
a next stage, and I want to be sure I'm on the right track before
I start.

  Anyone got any ideas or hit this one before? no answers on Deja.
does it use a privileged port? try the -P switch of ssh, and the

possibly some firewall blocks 1024 stuff, it's imho usually better
not to use privileged ports if not required.

Re: What is VNC?

2000-12-12 Thread Alson van der Meulen
 When it comes to controlling a Linux X display, I'm a little more hazy.
 
 Near as I can figure, if you want to control a Linux box using VNC, you 
 don't run your normal X server. Instead you run vncserver from a non-X 
 environment. This starts the VNC server, but you don't see any GUI 
 locally. To see a local GUI, you then have to do some magic to get your 
 window manager to run on the VNC server; this means that you're not 
 running your accelerated X server, so you may see some speed issues, 
 etc. Then from the second Linux (or Mac, or Windows) box, you run the 
 VNC client and connect like in Example 2 above.
 
 In other words, as far as I can tell, you can't run your super-duper 
 accelerated, hot-off-the-press, XFree86 server locally if you want to 
 see the same desktop locally and via remote control. This is not the 
 (semi-equivalent) case on Windows, but it seems to be the case on Linux.
 
 I may very well misunderstand how the thing works, but this is the 
 conclusion I've come to after trying it three or four times over the 
 past couple of years.
how about xvncviewer connecting to localhost, from using the super-duper
accelerated, hot-off-the-press, XFree86 server

New beep in Gnome

2000-12-12 Thread Peter Hugosson-Miller
I'm getting a strange new beep in Gnome. This happens whenever I
change to a new workspace using the desk-guide applet. I've looked
around in the Gnome control panel but can't find an option to turn
this off. My WM is Sawfish, BTW.

As I mentioned in my most recent mail, I've just recompiled my
kernel. The only changes I made in xconfig were to enable sound
support and to select Pentium II for compiling. I haven't started
dealing with the ALSA stuff yet, so no sound modules are loaded.

I have also done an apt-get dist-upgrade, which upgraded about 60
packages, all from stable, or helix-gnome.

So, where do I start looking for the beeping culprit?

Hello,

Are you sure about that?  I could have sworn cdrecord has an option for
DAO.  In any case I personally don't use cdrecord.  You should check out
cdrdao, it does an excellent job of DAO (as its name implies).  The
command line options are not all that difficult to use.

Re: cd-burning

2000-12-12 Thread Peter Wollny

README.audio in ~/doc/cdrecord (partly):

...
Cdrecord currently only supports Track at once. This gives 2 seconds
pause between two audio tracks.

The 2 seconds pause between two audio tracks is the CD ***standard***

The standard says:
Each track starts with 2 seconds of silence
followed by at least 4 seconds of audio data.

For that reason the 2 second pause is generated by the CD-R drive in 
Track at once (TAO) mode.
...

I will try cdrdao.

Something wrong with xterm-Eterm

Ok, to be brief:

I can't use accents (áéíóú) on xterm. I am using an english keyboard
w/deadkeys. It works like a champ on most other X apps, but not there.
It is quite strange, because it does work on other programs running in
the xterm window (mutt, vim...) - Also, using Eterm, its worse, because
it won't even backspace, and does strange things... 
Please help, I hate doing ^H manually!

As I have come to understand, that will give you two desktops. One under
the super-duper ... XFree86 Server and one via VNC (running in a Window,
liken an application, on that said super-duper X-Server).

Also you always get a whole Desktop (even if it's in a window), while
with X you get only the window for the respective application. That
seems to be preferrable, if you want to run 5 apps on 5 different
computers, since with VNC you would then have 5 Desktops on one screen
(one for each computer).

From what I learned off the web page of VNC (thanks for the link to to
poster!), I can't use VNC as a replacement for X (unless you get the
non-X vncviewer to work on the console), which would have been
interesting because of the footprint of X. Also it seems that VNC is not
as efficient via Network as X, but I don't really understand why. Maybe
someone can elaborate on that.

Making the X Desktop accessible / transferrable via VNC, as is possible
with Windows, is not possible with UNIX/Linux.

Thank you to all that replied to my question. I think I know now, what I
can use VNC for.

RE: exim (II)

2000-12-12 Thread Anderson, Tim TL33E
If they are the same then you don't have the issue I'm talking about.
When fetchmail gets some mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it gives it to
exim, which tries to deliver to the logon name in the email's TO header.  So
it tries to find somebody called yourisplogon on your local machine (ie,
localhost).  My problem was that my ISP name (tka104) and my local name
(seal) were different - exim tried to find tka104, failed, and bounced the
whole lot back!  So I aliased tka104 to seal, and the tka104 part got
resolved.
So you can safely ignore all this, because your names are the same. (but
check for case)
