Hola a todos.

Estoy intentando jugar un poco con mi micro-LAN a ver si aprendo algo pero
me estoy atascando con la configuranción del MTA.

En el servidor tengo exim y qpopper e intento:

   Intermet - Servidor --- Cliente
(akela)
   
¿Sencillo no?, pues debor ser muy torpe, lo cual no me extrañaría a estas
altura 0:-)

En el cliente estoy intentantolo desde Outlook... si si, ¡vaya sacrilegio!,
jejeje, es que tiene que ser así, más quiesiera yo que fuera con Debian :)

Tomo el correo del servidor pop de akela sin problemas pero cuando intento
mandar uno a alguien que no sea usuario del servidor, me dice que no, que no
existe [EMAIL PROTECTED], no se qué mirar, si alguien me puede ayudar se
lo agradezco.

¡Ah!, si intento tomar el correo de un usuario existente en el servidor
desde fuera de la LAN (mi conexión es ADSL mediante router externo) el
Outlook me dice que:

Falló la conexión con el servidor. Cuenta: 'akela', Servidor:
'aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd', Protocolo: SMTP, Puerto: 25,
+Seguridad (SSL): No, Error de socket: 10061, Número de error: 0x800CCC0E

Donde mi IP de conexión es aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, ni idea otra vez. He visto el
/etc/services y no me da ninguna pista al respecto, se que tengo que abrir
un puerto mediante NAPT pero no se cual es ¿?¿?

... otro tema sería montar BIND, lo cual me temo que tendré que hacer tarde
o temprano.

Saludos y perdón por la paliza.

No será que el router ADSL no te hace NAT del puerto 110? Asegurate de que
asi sea, no me extrañaria nada de que no lo hiciera por defecto...

Tengo conectado el puerto 25 y el 110 al del servidor mediante NAPT en el
router ADSL y esto es lo que obtengo cuando pongo como servidor smtp y pop a
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd en vez de a akela, servidor reconocido solo dentro de la

Si pongo como servidor a akela tanto en smtp como en pop, esto es lo que
obtengo:

No se por que (en una aplicacion de dos que corro en dosemu) alguna vez

salen mal. Supongo que sera algún problema de esos dichosos caracteres

Pues creo que se puede solucionar con alguna opción del fichero de

De todas formas creo que ejecutándolo en las X con xdos te debería salir

RE: Avisos compilando el kernel

2001-01-08 Thread Ricardo Villalba

Al compilar el kernel 2.2.17 (el paquete de potato) salen estos avisos:
/tmp/ccWUW6W7.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccWUW6W7.s:109: Warning: using `%eax' instead of `%ax' due to `l'
suffix

No sé si será debido a estos avisos, pero con el kernel 2.2.17 ya
funcionando me han vuelto a surgir los mismos problemas que tenía con el
2.2.12 (y que me forzaron a usar el 2.2.10).

Ayer me dió este error:

rvmsoft:~$ ls /usr/share/doc/qt2-doc/doc/

Violación de segmento


¿Alguien sabe que significan todos esos números? Por cierto que todas
las veces que se ha producido este error el virtual address del que
habla es 0400 ¿significa algo especial?

(Justo a la vez el klogd debió morir, ya que lo último que aparecía en
el /var/log/messages era Oops: 0).

Exactamente lo mismo me había ocurrido al menos dos veces con el kernel
2.2.12.
En este caso el error se produce con un ls pero también pasa con cd.
Por supuesto el directorio en cuestión está bien (de hecho unos segundos
antes la misma orden había funcionado perfectamente).
Una vez que se da este fallo cualquier intento de acceder al directorio
produce exactamente el mismo mensaje de error. La única solución es
reiniciar.

Se podría pensar que es un fallo en el sistema de ficheros, pero creo
que se puede descartar porque
1) al reiniciar se puede acceder perfectamente a ese directorio
2) no ocurre siempre en el mismo directorio
3) el disco donde me ocurrió esto ayer es nuevo y formateado hace menos
de una semana con chequeo de errores (no detectó ningún fallo)
4) me ocurrió lo mismo con el disco duro antiguo, y también con un CDROM
5) con el kernel 2.2.10 nunca me ha pasado esto

También podría ser un fallo de memoria, pero se dice que el mejor test
para la memoria es compilar el kernel, y nunca he tenido ningún problema
con ello (ningún signal 11), y además a veces he compilado otros
programas que tardan mucho más que el kernel (hasta 4 horas) sin
problema.
Sin embargo he de decir que el gcc de potato (2.95.2) sí me ha dado
algunos errores internos (me aparecía un mensaje diciendo que reportara
el bug) compilando programas en C++, pero al menos en dos de los tres
casos el fallo había sido mío (por ejemplo, olvidar poner un ; en un
fichero *.h).

Revisando el /var/log/messages he visto estos mensajes que se produjeron
hace unos días (no sé si tendrán algo que ver), y también con el kernel
2.2.17 en funcionamiento:

Jan  5 17:11:21 rvmsoft -- MARK --
Jan  5 17:18:27 rvmsoft kernel: VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for

Jan  5 19:14:56 rvmsoft kernel: VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for
kswapd...
Jan  5 19:31:21 rvmsoft -- MARK --

Por si acaso esta tarde he vuelto a compilar el kernel con el compilador
gcc 2.7.2.3, en lugar del 2.95.2. Por cierto que el método que explica
la documentación para compilar con el viejo gcc no funciona con el
kernel (make CC=gcc272), he tenido que renombrar el gcc a gcc.real y
hacer un enlace de gcc272 a gcc.

Durante la compilación he visto que se seguían produciendo las
advertencias que comentaba en mi mensaje anterior. Si acaso luego me
bajaré un binutils nuevo tal y como recomienda Santiago.

Por cierto que con el gcc 2.7.2.3 tarda bastante menos en compilar (45
minutos) que con el 2.95.2 (54 minutos) en mi pentium 133 (sin contar el
make modules, que son otros 15 minutos). Ah, y el kernel generado
también es un poquitín más pequeño.

Lo usaré unos días a ver si va bien, y si no tendré que volver al
2.2.10.

Ah, y el depmod -a que se ejecuta en el arranque ¡se ejecuta cuando el
kernel ya ha intentado cargar algún módulo!, llenándome la pantalla de
errores por tanto...

 Por ejemplo, hace unas semanas me bajé de ahí la librería Qt 2.2.2 y

 ahora todos los programas dependen de Qt 2.2.3, o sea que me toca
 bajarme esa librería otra vez...

Siento no poderte dar ninguna dirección (bueno, viene el kde2.0-final
en el Cd que acompañaba a la revista Solo P Linux de diciembre en 
formato .deb pero sin el archivo Packages. Aunque perfectamente 
utilizable y te sirve con las QT 2.2.2). Sólo advertirte que las QT
2.2.3 dependen de xlibs (= 4.0.1-11). 
O sea, que deberás actualizar las xfree si quieres instalar esa
versión de libqt... Lo digo para que no la bajes en vano.

El problema esta (creo) si el server se retrasa un pelin, se cuelga :-? El
caso es que pa que sea estable, todos los programas tienen que estar en
local. Los datos no hace falta.

Lo que yo digo es que win se cuelga demasiado con la red, pero no que sea
al checkear correo... 

Tambien se cuelga si el servidor es un NT, no te pienses... El problema son
los clientes güin9x que no aguantan nada...

Se supone que el güin 2000 y el ME son menos inestables (¿o no?) La
verdad es que no se, solo tengo guin9x y linux, y un 2000; menos los linux,
los demas se cuelgan.

Lo que si afirmo es que la misma máquina (Pentium 133 con 3GB HD SCSI y 64
RAM), una con NT y la otra con SAMBA, y el SAMBA le daba mil vueltas al NT.
Y fué quitar el NT que de golpe la red iba a las mil maravillas.

Re: Open Office

2001-01-08 Thread Daniel Guillermo Bareiro

Hola. Que tal!!!

 Otra cosa... Si quisiera instalar el Open Office o el Star Office en mi 
 equipo de manera que todos los usuarios (somos tres) tengan acceso
 ¿dónde tengo que instalarlo?

Para una instalacion multiusuario, debera ser el root quien realice la
instalacion del paquete y luego cada usuario tendra que realizar una
instalacion personal para poder usarlo.

#setup /net

El proceso de instalacion es muy similar al realizado en el caso
monousuario. En este caso, los directorios en los que se encontraran los
archivos seran /usr u /opt

La instalacion personal ocupa unos 2 MBy de directorio. La instalacion se
hace con setup en el directorio donde se haya instalado StarOffice.

Todo esto, para StarOffice 5.1. Supongo que para la version 5.2 debe ser
similar, si no igual

 Un saludo

Cómo está la dependencia de java que tenía OpenOffice al principio de ser

Este era un obstáculo enorme en la debianización, dejando a parte que es un

Re: Mouse muere de repente...

2001-01-08 Thread Druida

 En consola existe pero no se mueve... o sea:
 Cuando estoy en consola, si muevo el mouse, aparece el puntero en pantalla
aunque quitito. Si toco el teclado, desaparece tal y como siempre hace...
pero al tocar el ratón aparece siempre el puntero, como si Linux detectara
el ratón pero por alguna razón no se pudiese mover... extraño no?

Problems with Acer CD-RW 8432IA

2001-01-08 Thread Andrew McRobert

hi all

I've been trying to get my new Acer CD-RW drive working with no luck so far 
(after 4-5 weeks - on and off).
I first tried under Win98 SE and Win2000 (including updating firmware, 
motherboard drivers  ASPI layer
etc.) - but Windows would sometimes not detect the drive at all, or hang when 
running Explorer or hang 
when starting a burn.

I'm now trying to get it working under Linux (which if it doesn't work I'm 
taking it back to the shop). I've
followed all the steps from the CD-Writing-HOWTO, but I'm getting similar 
problems to those under Windows 
(ie. using cdrecord through Xcdroast or gcombust hangs the system for 10-15 
secs and then aborts
with an Illegal address, check condition or another error.

Here's the output from 'dmesg' - which to me looks a-ok:

I've configured most of the drivers as modules, as compiling them into the 
kernel didn't work either.

If anyone can see where I'm going wrong I'd appreciate it ... otherwise I'm 
going to put it down as
either a motherboard or CD-RW hardware error ... and the CD-RW is easier to 
replace!

thanks

Re: Trouble Setting Up DSL

2001-01-08 Thread Sebastiaan

Hello,

On Sun, 7 Jan 2001, Jason Dawe wrote:

 Hello I have a DSL modem with a SMC EtherPower II Ethernet card. Before
 installing Debian I used the Windows 'winipcfg' utility to find out my IP
 address, DNS servers, Default Gateway, Subnet Mask and DHCP Server.
 

I do not know what that program does, but I know that some telephone
companies upload the modem with their own values. To figure out what they
are, I suggest you make sure you can ping your modem, then telnet to it.
Search through the options until you find something like:
pc1
pc2
pc3
pc4

At least, that is what our Dutch company did. Originally it used to be:
RELAY_PPP1 - RELAY_PPP4
so see if you can find something similar.

I do not know for sure and I do not have a DSL modem, but I set up one.
I downloaded pptp and patched it so pptp looks for the pc1 channel.
You have to change 'pc1' in the patch with the value of you modem.

You can find it all here:
http://dl.xs4all.nl/adsl/ADSL-HOWTO_Linux.html

It is Dutch, but I am sure you can follow the red line.

Succes,
Sebastiaan


 During the install I loaded the Epic 100 module, and entered the above
 values in the Configure Network option. I assumed this would be enough to
 let me access the Internet.
 
 However, after completing the installation and rebooting I could not connect
 to any sites, nor could I ping any servers. For example if I do a 'ftp
 ftp.debian.org' it instantly tells me it is not found. (It takes no time at
 all; doesn't even seem to look)
 
 Any advice? How can I get this to work? I'm using 2.2r2
 
 Thanks

require libc6 2.2.x and X 4.0 and I need the latest versions of some
packages. I downloaded the unofficial CDs (made 01-01-2001) from
ftp.fsn.hu and took them with me to install. But unfortunately those do
not contain libc6 2.2.x only 2.1.3 as far as I could find out. So I was
wondering if it is possible to make woody CD-s oneself (without too much
fuzz) or if there is another way?

I know I can just get the libc6 deb file, but there are a lot of
dependancies that I would have to trackdown as well so I don't think
that would be easy, unless somebody has a trick :-)

Thanks in advance for any help.

PS: Is there set any deadline for woody as of now?

copy/paste problems in X -- locale?

2001-01-08 Thread kmself

I've been having problems with copy/paste under X (3.3.6) in Woody.  I
can copy and paste within a single X window (rxvt, Netscape session,
etc.) with no problem.  However, when copying and pasting between
windows, the past turns to garblish, and occasionally kills either the
target or the *source* window.

I can't offer much in the way of diagnostics, am rather confused by
this.  Is this possibly a problem with my locale?  I'd changed LC_CTYPE
to en_US.ISO-8859-1 recently in order to get extended characters to
render under Mutt and tin, however, this appears to be causing problems
(I *do* get other error messages regarding it).  Someone got a better
locale setting option?

Help: Gnome and sound

2001-01-08 Thread Berthold Cogel

Hello!

After updating to the current Gnome version in Debian/unstable I have a
problem with /dev/dsp:

Test: wavp/mpg123 playing wave/mp3 files

Sound works well from the console. It even works from an xsession (gdm
stopped)
After starting gdm and within an gnome session I'm unable to use
/dev/dsp. wavp tells me that it could'nt initialize dsp and mpg123 gives
the message that open_oss() couldn't open /dev/dsp. When I swith over to
console both programs are able to play the desired files.
I know that this is a problem with some permissions, but I don't know
what has been changed since the last version. Any hints?

I don't know what version of Gnome you're updating from, but at some
point in the past few months, sound handling with respect to Gnome and
Esound has changed.  Gnome is using esound as its sound daemon now.
When esound is running, /dev/dsp is unavailable.  Most sound
applications such as mpg123 have esound enabled versions now.  (mpg123's
is the mpg123-esd package.)  Some other /dev/dsp-using applications can
be made to work by using the esddsp program that comes with esound.

I have switched to using esound at the console and in X, and it works
pretty well for me.

The esound web page is http://www.tux.org/~ricdude/EsounD.html

 Subject:  Installation troubles 

 Debian Experts,

   I ordered and received three (3) Official Debina CDs with the Debian
 2.2.16 distribution.  After I insert the first CD things take off as
 expected:

   Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux 2.2!

   This is the Debain Rescue disk 

   Go ahead and press Enter to begin installation

   booting Linux, Ok

   The installation continues on asking for such things as 

   Rescue floppy version 2.2.16

   Configure keyboard

   Qwerty/us : US English

   Initialize and activate a swap partition

   bad block check

   permanently erase /dev/hda2

   initialize a Linux Native partition

   You get all the way down to Install operating system kernel and
 modules

   And it indicates that it was installed - potato-386

   Along the way I have taken the default in every instance and then
 one is caught in a loop where the system comes back to the Main
 installation menu , and then seems to be stuck there.

   I remove the CD and reboot the machine.  The machines starts lilo
 and gets to LI and then hangs 

   This is really irritating me,  does anyone have any ideas?  I am not
 trying to do anything special, the machine is dedicated to this lone
 Debian distribution, no dual boots, not trying to retain anything from the
 past - it is making me crazy!!!

 Thanks,

 John

2001-01-08 Thread Sebastiaan

Hello,

as far as I know, a new release covers the whole list of debian packages,
so all four of cd's. Most used and system packages are on CD1, much used
on CD2, etc. 
If you have a fast internet line, you can also do a distribution upgrade
with
apt-get dist-upgrade

Furthermore, if you are only looking for stability, the current release
works fine. You can then only upgrade packages for which you need the
latest versions. Depends on what you want your system to do.

Package problems

2001-01-08 Thread Thibaut Cousin

  I noticed a few issues with KDE 2.0.1 packages. Here they are :

1) Konqueror depends on lesstif. Is it normal ? I don't see where lesstif is 
used...

2) Bramhs can only be used by root because of a /dev/rtc: permission denied. 
Can the permissions be changed, or at least a warning be given during 
installation ?

3) kFilereplace compiles correctly (for debian-source package) but I get an 
error during install :
Setting up kfilereplace (0.6.0-1) ...
cannot open dhelp file '/usr/doc/kfilereplace/html/.dhelp': at

Problems Opening text programs in X . . .

2001-01-08 Thread bryan

Hello to the list,
I have a bizarre problem that began a few days ago, nothing serious,
but just something that is bugging me.  A few days ago, I installed wterm and
removed xterm.  No problem, everything was working fine.  But then, I
reinstalled xterm and removed wterm, and this is where my problems began.
Now, none of my programs that require an x-shell will start from my Debian
menu.
In other words, I can open an xterm and type mutt, top, etc. and
those programs will run fine.  But I can no longer select those items from a
Debian menu in X.  I see them listed in the menu, but when I click on them,
nothing happens.  Now, here is the clincher: if I reinstall the wterm
package, everything in the menu resumes working.  It seems that somewhere,
these items are needing wterm to run from the menu.

The details:
I am running fvwm window manager on a woody box.

Here is what my /usr/lib/menu/mutt says:

?package(mutt):needs=text section=Apps/Net\
  title=Mutt\
  command=/usr/bin/mutt

Any help would be appreciated in helping me to fix this.

Thanks,
