Re:Script de inicio

2001-02-16 Thread Luís Arocha
 Anda todo bien lo unico queria saber si hay forma de que cuando arranca el
 sistema se ejecute el script adsl-start y cuando apago o reinicio la
 maquina se ejecute adsl-stop, por que si no tengo que entrar al sistema
 como root salir y luego entrar como usuario si quiero usar internet.
 Yo probe de poner un enlace simbolico a adsl-start en el directorio
 /etc/init.d pero no me sirvio.

Hola,
El script que pongas en /etc/init.d tiene que admitir
unos parámetros concretos:
start, stop y restart
Si tienes dudas copia de alguno de los otros scripts
que ya están en ese directorio.

Supongamos que este script se llama /etc/init.d/adsl

Una vez hecho esto tienes que indicarle al sistema que
te ejecute este nuevo script con la opcion start al
entrar en runlevel 2 (que probablemente es el que tenga
por defecto), y 3,4,5, y con la opcion stop en los
runlevels 0 y 6 que son los de apagado.
Esto lo puedes hacer de dos maneras:
- Una con el comando update-rc, creo recordar que algo
  asi: update-rc adsl defaults
  man para mas detalles
- Ir a los directorrios /etc/rc.2d, etc/rc.3d, etctera
  y crear un link de esta manera:
  ln -s /etc/init.d/adsl S99adsl
  o
  ln -s /etc/init.d/adsl K99adsl

  Si creas un link que empieze por S es que el script
  se ejecutará con la opción start al iniciar ese
  runlevel, si es por K se ejecutará con la opción stop.
  Los nombres de los directorios /etc/rc.?d son los
  correspondientes a los runlevels. Deberás crear en
  cada uno de ellos un link de start o de stop.
  Ojea lo que hay en cada uno de ellos hasta que
  comprendas el mecanismo.

Espero haberte ayudado.
P.S.: Te estoy escribien esto desde un windows, o sea
que no puedo consultar los detalles concretos y quizás
haya sido algo impreciso, pero creo que será suficiente.

Saludos,
--

Para ver los paquetes que van a ser actualizados con apt-get puedes
usar el calificador:
 --show-upgraded

Si usas el apt desde dentro del dselect, supongo que alcanzará
con poner en /etc/apt/apt.conf :
APT 
{
  Get 
  {
 Show-Upgraded false;

digo supongo porque no lo he probado, acabo de leerlo en las

Re: ODBC para mysql

2001-02-16 Thread Roberto Meyer
Hola,

[snip]

ipcm Instale el MyODBC en una maquina con Win2000, y trato de conectarme pero
ipcm al parecer me da error porque hay que darle privilegios tanto al usuario
ipcm como la maquina en mi bonito Debian, pero no se como asignarle los
ipcm privilegios a una maquina externa con GRANT.

ipcm Hice lo siguinte

ipcm  insert into user (Host,User,Password) values('192.168.1.60', 'david',
ipcm PASSWORD('secretpass'));

Supongo que ademas debes agregar los permisos a la tabla 'db', de
otra forma el usuario deberia poder conectar al mysqld pero a
ninguna bdatos.  Por otro lado, puedes empezar por probar un
telnet al 3306 del linux.

Como configuraste myodbc?  El usuario es david?, pusiste bien el
host donde se encuentra mysqld?, no dejes espacios en el nombre
local que le das a la bdatos xq creo que no funciona.

[Flame]
Te comento que tuvimos _muchos_ problemas con 0ffice2000, a
tal punto que estamos considerando volver a 97.  Justo hoy

Una no muy complicada podría ser agregar:

Seguirás teniendo 800x600 en tu monitor, pero cuando el mouse

Eso depende del puerto y del propio modem.
Un puerto serie normal suele funcionar hasta 115200 bps, lo cual es
aceptable para pequeñas consultas de un PC a otro como es mi caso, pero
entre 2 redes...depende de lo que quieras hacer. Piensa que con 115200

Leer una tubería en perl

2001-02-16 Thread Hue-Bond
 Dado que no domino el  tema del multithread (aunque supongo que
 todo  radica  en  fork()),  estoy haciendo  dos  programas  que  se
 comunicarán mediante una pipa. Como prueba sencilla, servidor.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl
## abrir tuberia
open (PIPA, /home/hue/tmp/contador);
do {
## esperar que lleguen datos
$texto = PIPA;
## imprimir en pantalla
print $texto;
} until ($texto eq MEPIRO\n);
close(PIPA);

 La otra parte, cliente.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$texto = $ARGV[0];
open (PIPA, /home/hue/tmp/contador);
print (PIPA $texto . \n);
close (PIPA);

 Bien:

$ ./cliente.pl uolas
uolas
$

 El texto  va por  la tubería  y aparece  en pantalla  porque el
 servidor lo imprime. PERO! desde  este momento, el servidor se pone
 a comsumir  frenéticamente todo el  micro que puede. El  xosview me
 indica que el tiempo de micro es en modo usuario, no sistema. ¿Cómo
 puedo arreglarlo?  En el man de  fifo(4) veo que se  puede abrir la
 tubería en modo blocking o non-blocking,  no sé si esto tendrá algo
 que ver, y en tal caso tampoco sé cómo implementarlo en perl.

 Esto es off topic aquí, ¿conocéis alguna lista de perl?

Al final era poca cosa:

- You can (un)collapse subtrees of the attachment tree now.  This
  function is bound to 'v' by default.  

  Normally, when you enter the tree, it'll be entirely uncollapsed.
  However, as a special exception, if $digest_collapse is set (the
  new default), any messages in a multipart/digest will be collapsed
  automatically.

Hasta la 1.3.14, te salían colapsadas por defecto.

Es un sistema muy agradable. Lo tienes todo configurado en 2 minutos, es muy

2001-02-16 Thread phoenix
alguien podria decirme como puedo instalar
una tarjeta de sonido FM-801 en debian 2.2, donde puedo conseguir los
drivers, y como instalarlos.



Correo.

2001-02-16 Thread Ricardo Marcelo Alvarez

Tengo que instalar un cliente de correo para mi debian potato.
Yo tengo cuatro cuentas de correo mi idea es tener 4 usuarios distintos uno 
por cada cuenta y que el correo lo maneje el procmail y despues lo levanto 
con algun cliente de correo que lea el correo local.
Lo que no se es si me conviene usar el procmail o otro programa por que 
escuche algo del qmail y supongo que debe haber otros y aparte donde puedo 
conseguir algun manual en castellano de cualquiera de estos programas.

Gracias y saludos a todos.

 unknown host betyder att datornamnet är fel eller att något är fel i

Tive problema parecido com uma máquina parecida, o problema ocorria
especificamente com o driver ethernet para uma placa ne2k pci. Ele dizia
não conseguir alocar um buffer para DMA.

A solução foi usar kernel 2.0.

Se teu problema não está relacionado com alocações tão específicas,
feitas por drivers de hardware, pode ser que resolva aumentar o swap.

update S3 driver, and must switch back to XFree86 3.3.6

2001-02-16 Thread BizarroBum
i need to update my video driver for a textscroll bug fix to keep my 
laptop from crashing

the info on this video driver and the fix can be found at 
http://www.probo.com/timr/savagemx.html

i installed debian as unstable and XFree 4.0.2 was the default 
setup.  i've tried updating the 4.0.2 drivers by it doesn't support
xdm or kdm very well and my user accounts can't run startx.

so i wish to switch back to XFree 3.3.6 and install the driver update 
for that. but i tried relinking with 'ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA /etc/X11/X 
' 
to switch back to 3.3.6 and i believe the xserver-svga is installed but it 
wouldn't load.  i bitched about the my /etc/XF86Config file. the error message 
being unspecific about the problem gives me the error message

Re: IMPS/2 problems after kernel 2.4.1 update

2001-02-16 Thread David B . Harris
Okay, first of all, please use paragraphs. They exist for a reason :)
Since it's too much trouble for me to break things up to present a nice
clear, response, you'll have to deal with my babbling.

First of all, if your mouse isn't initialized as an IntelliMouse, it
pretends it's a regular PS/2 mouse.

Second, gpm gets to your mouse before X, so you have to be positive that
your mouse type is set to imps2 in /etc/gpm.conf .

Third, it sounds like both GPM and X are trying to use /dev/psaux. Check
to see what /dev/mouse is linked to. Since you're using GPM and X,
specify explicitly in XF86Config[-4] that the mouse device is
/dev/gpmdata, not /dev/mouse .

Now, try rebooting, after making sure all those config options are set
properly. If it still doesn't work, set X to use /dev/psaux, type
ImPS/2, 'rm /etc/rc2.d/*gpm' to stop 'gpm' from being started on boot,
and then re-boot. Hopefully that will work. If it doesn't, you have
problems that arn't caused by X or gpm.

The reboots are necessary, and they have to be hard-boots. This is
because of the mouse initialization thing.

Hope that helps :)

# Hi there,
# 
# 
# I'm having a problem with my Microsoft Intellimouse (an intellimouse
with
# two buttons and a scroll wheel that uses the ps/2 interface) since
going
# from a 2.2.x kernel to 2.4.1.  The way i have setup (and how
everything
# worked perfectly before this upgrade) was that gpm was set to read
from
# /dev/psaux using the imps2 protocol.  It then repeats this to
/dev/gpmdata
# which i then have /dev/mouse linked to.  My XF86Config-4 is setup so
that
# it knows the mouse is at /dev/mouse, and uses the imPS/2 protocol.  I
also
# have a line for the Zaxis stuff to get the scroll wheel to act like
# buttons 4 and 5 in X so that the wheel works.  Anyway, all this is
well
# and good because it was this exact setup that worked before the new
# kernel.  Anyway, since upgrading the kernel, gpm no longer works on
# /dev/psaux with the imps2 protocol (hence, X doesn't work either...). 
The
# mouse just goes all crazy moving all over the place, and pushing
random
# buttons and what not.  So i set gpm and X to use the regular ps/2
# protocol, and everything was fine, however i get no third button or
# scroll wheel anymore, which sucks.  Just in case this was just a gpm
# problem, i tried having X read directly from /dev/psaux using the
IMPS/2

any

keyboard and mouse recognition

I have installed debian 2.2 on a Dell pentium 2 350 MHz.
I have a Logitech trackman and MS Natural Pro Keyboard.

I ran XF86Setup and set the appropriate settings, and got my trackman
and keyboard detected, but every time i boot up my system i have to do
the following 

boot my system with a floppy (do not have Lilo setup)
boot:linux option=text (and then press enter)

if I don't have option=text, my keyboard and trackman do not get
detected.

What did I do wrong or what did I forget to do?

backing up a complete linux system

Hi all.
I trying to do a backup of my system and I think I might have the
backup part rightcorrect me if I'm wrong
I could use this command

tar -cvzf hda2.tar.gz /

anyway... the part where I'm stuck... 
I have no idea how to restore this tarred file on to a totally new
drive
my guess.
add the other drive partition similar to hda  (swap and such)
mount the partition say..mount /dev/hdc2 /mnt

then untar the file  hda2.tar.gz into /mnt..
now I should have 2 file systems ... one at /
and the other at   /mnt
so what do I do now?
Just put the hdc drive in place of the hda drive... redo lilo and presto?


Your help is very much appreciated...!

Ah well...

 First of all, if your mouse isn't initialized as an IntelliMouse, it

Well, since X wants to use /dev/mouse , i made it a sym link to

probably shoulda stated that it was just a link in my previous email.

 Now, try rebooting, after making sure all those config options are set

Okay, i had tried this before, however it was without the reboot, so i
tried it again.  As it turned out, this fixed it.  Pointing X straight to
/dev/psaux, and not starting gpm at all did it.  Which leads me to believe
that gpm doesn't work with the new kernel 2.4.1 i set up, since the old
configuration worked just fine with 2.2.18...very strange.  Any ideas on
why this might be?

I don't know much about WOL, but my ethernet card (LinkSys) has WOL
capability.  From what I gather, the ethernet card gets plugged into a
special plug on the motherboard (there is a cable on the card).  When
the ethernet card gets some signal, it sends the appropriate signal to
the motherboard, which then wakes up the system.  I don't know what
the signals are or how to config the system but I do know that the
motherboard must support it.

MMX is nice but in order to take any advantage of it you still need to 
assembler programming. From what I have seen the it is just as difficult
using the P4 SSE2 instructions and it is highly probable that they will
not be widely used unless someone makes gcc generate SSE2 code. This is

[ANNOUNCE] automatic perl module building from CPAN

Sorry about the crosspost, but this is probably of interest to three
groups of people for different reasons.

I have just written CPAN::Debian, a perl module that allows you to download
and build fairly good Debian packages automatically of (almost) anything in

A sample run is probably the best explination. Warning, CPAN is pretty
verbose, and so is building a debian package; the result is pretty spammy.

 Oh, and it utterly depends on the latest perl packages in unstable. Nothing

 made this possible.

Been there, done that. A few months ago. We even discussed it on debian-perl.

$ dh-make-perl --build --cpan Coy

dpkg-deb: building package `libcoy-perl' in `../libcoy-perl_0.05-1_all.deb'.

 2. Developers:
 
 It's also possible to just debianize a module, yeilding a debianized
 source tree and not building a deb. Developers may find this to be a
 decent starting point at making a debian package of something in CPAN, for
 release into Debian. For example:
 
 perl -m CPAN::Debian -le 'CPAN::Shell-expand(Module,shift)-debianize' 
 Term::Slang

$ dh-make-perl --cpan Coy

It works also if you have unpacked the source, just cd into it and dh-make-perl.
It also has an override mechanism to build perl modules that require special
treatment (special arguments passed to Makefile.PL, on the fly patching etc.)
Oh, and it doesn't touch that ugly CPAN.pm codebase (this is a feature:-).
It could certainly be improved, I'll update it to comply with the new perl 
policy,

Using Printer (shared per SMB-protocoll)

2001-02-16 Thread Hanno Böttcher
Hi all!

At work I have a winnt mashine sharing the laser printer. No I want to
configure my linux mashine to use this printer. For Example after
configuring I want to do sth. like this:

 man xyz  sharedprinter 

At the moment I have no X running (that's why I need to have some manpages
printed, I hate reading on screen, e.g. you can't mark anything etc.).

What do I have to do to use the shared printer?

Windowmaker GNOME - Maximizing...

2001-02-16 Thread Sander Smeenk \(CistroN Medewerker\)
Hello,

I noticed that with the newer wmaker (Version: 0.63.1-3) and gnome
(Version: 1.2.4-helix2) they made some changes to the 'maximize'
window functionality. 

To clarify the situations I have made 4 screenshots and included
the URL's in this message... They are approx. 20k each. JPG's 800x640.

I have a little 'Aligned Panel' in the upper right corner of my screen
which holds GnomeICU, and I have an 'Edge Panel' on the bottom of my
screen... (http://www.freshdot.net/debian/desktop-withpanels.jpg)

Before all the trouble started, when I 'Maximized' a window, the window
would in fact fill my whole screen, and the Gnome Panels would lie on
TOP of it.  (http://www.freshdot.net/debian/maximized-therightway.jpg)

Then suddenly, after a dist-upgrade (I run unstable), the maximize option
maximized windows between the bottom of the 'Aligned Panel' and the top
of the AUTO-HIDDEN (!) Edge Panel. So the window would cover my whole
screen, except for the size of the Aligned Panel on the top.
(http://www.freshdot.net/debian/maximized-stage2.jpg)

But now, all of the sudden, windows maximize to the bottom of the 'Aligned
Panel' and to the top of the SHOWN Edge Panel, EVEN when the Edge Panel is
hidden (rolled in). (http://www.freshdot.net/debian/maximized-wrong.jpg)

I *really* do not like this at all, and I would like to know if anyone has
a solution for this. I can't find and options to allow windows to maximize
UNDER panels, as it did before...

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Sander.

Do you have some specific multicast group in mind?  All the applications
that utilize multicast can do it by themselves already, it's only a few
lines of code.  

Or do you want to join a multicast group in your own program?  If so, here
the few lines of code I mentioned.  It's totally untested, lacks all error
checking and such, but should give you the idea.

struct ip_mreq imr;
int sock;
sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
memset(imr, 0, sizeof(imr));
inet_aton(224.0.0.1, imr.imr_multiaddr);
setsockopt(sock, IPPROTO_IP, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, imr, sizeof(imr));


However, if your upstream router does not support multicast routing,
joining a multicast group won't do you much good since you will be limited
to the multicast traffic within your own LAN.

From the user point of view multicast is no different than unicast. You
insert the appropriate address in the application and that is it. 

I suspect your problem might be more related to one of two things:
1. Problems with the application, or
2. Your net connection does not allow multicast.

If you could indicate more precisely what you are trying to do it would
be easier to help you with (1). With regards to (2), the problem is that
multicast does not just depend on the server and the client but also on
the routers in between. If the routers are not capable of doing
multicast
(or are not configured to do it) then multicast will not work.

 Might be a kernel driver prob... 2.0.33 is pretty old...

there were various size-limits in older kernels/BIOSes...
For example there was one at 33.8 GB. Are you sure your drive is
exactly 30 GB, and not a few percent larger?
You'll find more details on this in the following howto:

http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/Large-Disk.html


 Too bad of the patches, I should rewrite them I guess.

as a temporary solution you might try to find a patch for your kernel
version. If I remember correctly, there is one for 2.0.38, maybe you
can somehow get that working for 2.0.33... 
In the long run, it would probably be a better idea to rewrite your
patches ;)

Sure - check out man xhost. If (like me) you're a totally isolated host
you can just do 

xhost +

in a terminal window owned by the user running X; that will allow ANY
host, ANYWHERE, to  display om your machine. If you're connected to the
net you might want to refine your xhost command to allow only specific
hosts/users.

 Hi there,
 
 
 I'm having a problem with my Microsoft Intellimouse (an intellimouse with
 two buttons and a scroll wheel that uses the ps/2 interface) since going
 from a 2.2.x kernel to 2.4.1.  The way i have setup (and how everything
 worked perfectly before this upgrade) was that gpm was set to read from
 /dev/psaux using the imps2 protocol.  It then repeats this to /dev/gpmdata
 which i then have /dev/mouse linked to.  My XF86Config-4 is setup so that
 it knows the mouse is at /dev/mouse, and uses the imPS/2 protocol.  I also
 have a line for the Zaxis stuff to get the scroll wheel to act like
 buttons 4 and 5 in X so that the wheel works.  Anyway, all this is well
 and good because it was this exact setup that worked before the new
 kernel.  Anyway, since upgrading the kernel, gpm no longer works on
 /dev/psaux with the imps2 protocol (hence, X doesn't work either...).  The
 mouse just goes all crazy moving all over the place, and pushing random
 buttons and what not.  So i set gpm and X to use the regular ps/2
 protocol, and everything was fine, however i get no third button or
 scroll wheel anymore, which sucks.  Just in case this was just a gpm
 problem, i tried having X read directly from /dev/psaux using the IMPS/2
 protocol, but unfortunately got the same bad result.  Does anyone have any
 idea what might be the problem here?  It had to have been something i
 configured wrong in the kernel...however i don't know what, since it just
 made the IMPS/2 stuff not work, while the regular PS/2 still works...very
 strange.  Any ideas, or tips?
 
 
 thanks,

Hear! Hear! Case in point. I just used a Debian install (rescue) disk to
save my SuSE install. What! you say. As pointed out, Linux is Linux, when I
ran fsck.ext2 it didn't care what logo was on the CD I had installed the
system from, it just knew it was Linux and was happy to do it's job.

I too am moving to Debian, for my own reasons, but there are some things I
will miss about my SuSE install, may just keep one on it's own partition.
So, if you have a distro you like, use it, it's as much Linux as the next
one.

I have a Storm distro as yet un-opened, that I was planning on using to get

Re: Mozilla 0.8

2001-02-16 Thread William Leese
Just install the binaries into your home dir or /usr/local ..because your 
settings are created in ~/user/.mozilla you wont lose them anyway, unless 
ofcourse mozilla 0.8's settings differ much from 0.7. 

Btw, if you do decide to install from the binaries (or source) then remember 
to remove the plugins dir in your new mozilla directory and softlink 
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to somewhere/mozilla/plugins. Otherwise when you 
install a plugin it will install itself in /usr/lib/plugins but Moz will only 
still look in its own plugins dir.

One last thing, Moz also needs write access to its own directory otherwise it 
wont run.

 I'm now running the Progeny debs for Mozilla .7. I would like to go to
 .8 but so my menus and stuff do not get broken I would like to go with

Xconfigurator and after that manually tweaking the setup file.
I get the X server up,(the gray screen) but when it tryes to switch, the screen 
becomes black and there is no way to get it back.
I suppose it is stepping out of the frecuencies allowed by the TFT screen.
I am not very sure home a TFT screen works, it seems to me vertical frecuency 
is fixed? I haven't been able to get any information from the vendor.

Woody and everything is up to date but I want to know how to change the type
of system or version of Debian that shows up on a console login screen.
Right now it says testing/unstable I looked at /etc/debian_version and it
said the same thing there and I changed it to Woody but that didn't make any
difference, any ideas? The other question may be a little more complicated.
I am using gdm to login and I normaly run Enlightenment but I wanted to try
out Gnome but when I selecect it from the gdm menu it starts gnome and kde
together. I have replaced the /etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome script with one that
just has exec /usr/bin/gnome-session but that didn't help, if I start kde it
works fine and it is a script that just has exec /usr/bin/startkde, any
