grabadora en red

2001-02-26 Thread Fernando Carvajal

Hola!

Sabe alguién algún documento o como hacer que una grabadora que se encuentra
en un PC con Winnt
sea utilizada desde otro con Linux. No se como indicar este dispositivo. ¿
Alguna Idea?
Quiero grabar desde linux. El Winnt lo puedo montar con SAMBA.

Muchas Gracias

Un saludo

Re: Sobre enlaces duros

 Ambas cosas son imprescindibles.
 
  Yo he  leído que  hacer un  enlace duro  a un  directorio tenía
  alguna implicación  de seguridad pero  no vi la explicación  por lo
  que sigo con el interrogante. ¿Dónde estará el problema?

En POSIX ln y link(2) no permiten hacer enlaces duros a directorios.

Sinceramente creo que lo contrario sería un caos. Un link duro representa
dos cosas idénticas con distinto nombre y eso no es deseable en una 
estructura jerarquica de directorios. El directorio actual podría
llegar a tener varios nombres distintos. Te imaginas que el comando 
pwd devolviera una lista del tipo.

/home/usuario/dat/txt
/home/usuario/datos/txt

Curiosamente POSIX no prohíbe que los enlaces duros crucen
los limites de los sistemas de ficheros aunque eso no es 
posible con un sistema de ficheros plano como el de Linux
porque el inodo es un valor de clave única dentro de un sistema 
plano de ficheros.

Los inodos son claves numéricas. Interesa manejar claves pequeñas y
no parece facil hacer un sistema de ficheros que admita enlaces duros
entre sistemas de ficheros distintos. En el caso de NFS por ejemplo 
la cuestión sería especialmente compleja. No imagino que sistema de
claves i-nodos podría permitir algo así. A mi me parece imposible salvo
soluciones muy ineficientes pero el caso es que POSIX no lo prohibe.
Creo que lo prohibe el sentido común.

Hola,
No estoy seguro, pero creo que una conexion red no tiene ancho
de banda suficiente para enviar datos una grabadora. Y ya sabras que si
la grabadora se queda sin datos a mitad de  la grabacion ya puedes ir
tirando el CD.
A mi me pasaba algo parecido cuando intentaba grabar y los
ficheros estaban en una unidad de red. No consegui grabar el CD hasta que
no copie todos los ficheros al disco duro local.

modprobe lp io=0x378 no funciona

2001-02-26 Thread Conrado Badenas
Ayer me puse a instalarle la Potato 2.2r2 a un amigo con
ftp://ftp.rediris.es/debian/dists/Debian2.2r2/main/disks-i386/current, y
me quedé chafado cuando no conseguí cargarle el módulo lp, ni en la
instalación del sistema básico ni luego cuando ya casi estaba todo
terminado (con todos los paquetes necesarios metidos y configurados,
incluyendo X, netscape, y hasta un cliente de ICQ).

# modprobe lp
/lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/misc/lp.o: invalid parameter parm_io
/lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/misc/lp.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/misc/lp.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/misc/lp.o: insmod lp failed
# modprobe lp io=0x378
[ídem]
# modprobe lp (más combinaciones de io=... o de irq=...)
invalid parameter parm_io
ó
invalid parameter parm_irq

Y en la BIOS tiene LPT1: 378/IRQ7 (ECP+EPP)
Todas las IRQs y DMAs estan puestas a PCI/ISA PnP en la BIOS
Hasta el PowerManagement Events tiene LPT ports disabled

Lo mejor de todo es que YO tengo una configuración de BIOS idéntica en
estos aspectos del LPT1, y a MÍ
# modprobe lp
(sin problemas)
# modprobe -r lp
# modprobe lp io=0x378
/lib/modules/2.2.10/misc/lp.o: invalid parameter parm_io
/lib/modules/2.2.10/misc/lp.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.10/misc/lp.o
failed
/lib/modules/2.2.10/misc/lp.o: insmod lp failed
(esto es increíble: el puerto io de la LPT1 en la BIOS es el 0x378)
# modprobe lp
(sin problemas)

Estoy pensando en mirarme el código fuente del módulo lp, para ver cómo
funciona cuando no se le pasan parámetros.

Si no consigo que su ordenador imprima, mi amigo se vuelve al Windows98.

¡Ojalá yo tuviera tanta vista como ese palo de ciego!

En efecto, tras leer el fichero lp.c, la sintaxis correcta para cargar
el módulo lp es:
# insmod (yo uso modprobe) lp parport=... (no hay parámetros io, irq)

y en el fichero parport.txt se dice:
# insmod (yo usaré modprobe) parport_pc io=... irq=...

Cuando mi amigo me avise de que su ordenador está conectado le haré un
telnet para probar todo esto. Y si no es eso, veré si es que hay
conflicto de IRQs, como me ha comentado otro debianero.

Volveré a mirar lo que sale en el momento de la instalación porque creo
recordar que las instrucciones en pantalla del módulo lp hacían
referencia a los parámetros io e irq. Si es así, habría que mandar un
bug-report a Debian para que lo cambien, y digan que io e irq está en el
soporte de puerto paralelo.

¡Gracias a todos!

Hola Laura,

Tiene pinta de ser un fallo en la instalación de un paquete concreto,
con lo que la solución que tú apuntas puede ser la más válida.
Realiza la instalación sólo con lo más necesario y después sigues
actualizando con apt, poco a poco. Cuando te vuelvas a encontrar con el 
paquete problemático lo dejas de lado y te lo bajas de Internet, 
en vez de
instalarlo del CD.

Dudo que puedas grabar en red. AFAIK, cdrecord necesita controlar directamente
la unidad, y eso no lo puedes hacer mediante un sistema de archivos de red.

Como PostgreSQL es una base de datos SQL tendrás que convertirlo en
SQL primero, es decir que tendrás que definir una tabela y convertir
cada línea en un enunciado tipo INSERT. Yo lo exportaría primero en
formato CSV y tendrás mucha oportunidad para aprender usar los
textutils de GNU ;)

Viene muy bien explicado, aunque está en inglés, en
/usr/share/doc/sysvinit/README.runlevels.gz.

Lo que yo entiendo es que los scripts que están en /etc/rcS.d se
ejecutan siempre que arranca el sistema, independientemente del runlevel
en el que se vaya a iniciar el sistema. Posteriormente, si entramos en
el nivel 2 se ejecutarán los que estén situados en /etc/rc2.d, si es el
3 pues los de /etc/rc3.d, etc.

No están en el mismo directorio para hacer que sea más modular y que no
se inicien cosas inútiles en modo monousuario, en principio pensado para
arreglar algo que falle en el sistema o mantenimiento del mismo, y
porque lo que se ejecuta en rcS.d es imprescindible para el
funcionamiento mínimo del sistema.

Espero que te haya servido. Un saludo.

Re: Abrir un fichero.xls con posgresql

2001-02-26 Thread Ramon Pons
Hola Sergio,

por mi experiencia en traspasos de Excel a Prostgres lo que te recomiendo es 
que primero
pases a Acces los datos, pues te hace la vida más fácil. Luego te instalas el 
odbc para
postgres
y de manera sencilla, exportas las tablas a través del odbc y  ya tienes las 
tablas en
Postgres.
No he probado nunca ha hacerlo directamente desde Excel a traves de odbc pero me
lo apunto para probarlo.

Si tuvieras que crear relaciones entre tablas, las harias luego en postgres, 
pero por lo
menos la tarea de pasar los datos ya la tienes hecha en 5 minutos.

Un saludo,

Ramon

Jag skulle vilja köpa en så modern Debian-distribution som möjligt på CD. Var ska man leta, och vad ska man titta efter (woody eller sid)? Finns det olika versioner av samma distribution (t.ex. olika versioner av woody) eller räcker det med att veta vilken distribution man ska ha?

Brasileiro escreve `bíblia' de Python

Livro de 900 páginas descreve a linguagem que roda em qualquer sistema 
operacional
ROBINSON DOS SANTOS

Montar um site pessoal na Web pode, às vezes, ser um bom negócio. Foi assim que 
o carioca André
Lessa foi descoberto pela editora norte-americana Sams Publishing. Lessa, que 
trabalha nos EUA,
foi convidado a escrever um livro sobre a linguagem de programação Python. O 
resultado, um
calhamaço de 926 páginas chamado Python Developer's Handbook, já está à venda.

Ainda desconhecida dos brasileiros, Python é uma linguagem interpretada, 
inventada no início
dos anos 90 pelo holandês Guido Van Rossum e aperfeiçoada por uma legião de 
programadores
anônimos, à moda do sistema Linux. O curioso é que, quando saiu do Brasil, há 
três anos, nem
conhecia a linguagem. Aprendi com colegas de trabalho.

O livro todo foi escrito em cerca de um ano. Cobre as especificações da versão 
2.0, lançada no
fim do ano passado, mas não se limita a ela. Quando cito aplicações de rede, 
por exemplo,
também explico TCP/IP, conta o autor.

E para que serve Python? Para quase tudo, de aplicativos gráficos à construção 
de bancos de
dados na Web, explica Lessa. Quem faz manutenção de sistemas também leva 
vantagem. Python
obriga o programador a seguir regras, que forçam um estilo de programação fácil 
de ser
entendido, completa o especialista.

Talvez a maior vantagem da Python seja a portabilidade. Além dos arquivos 
binários, a linguagem
pode ser baixada da Internet (em http://www.python.org) em forma de 
código-fonte. Como foi
programada em C++ ANSI, roda virtualmente em qualquer computador, de Amiga a 
Macintosh -
passando, claro, pelo PC.

Escrever um novo livro não está nos planos de Lessa. O desafio, agora, é 
conciliar o trabalho
de consultoria aos cuidados com o filho João Pedro - nascido em outubro, junto 
com o livro - e
acompanhar a produção das versões traduzidas. Rússia e China serão os primeiros 
países a
recebê-las.

Re: desabilitando su

2001-02-26 Thread Christiano Anderson
Cosmo,

Se voce quer desabilitar o SU, a maneira mais facil eh tirar o SUID do
/bin/su

Veja:

akhenaton:~# ls -ld /bin/su
-rwsr-xr-x1 root root23420 Feb 13 17:17 /bin/su

Depois rode um:

chmod -s /bin/su

O SU ficara da seguinte forma:

akhenaton:~# ls -ld /bin/su
-rwxr-xr-x1 root root23420 Feb 13 17:17 /bin/su

Desta forma, nenhum usuario conseguira executar o su.

 onde X é a,b,c ou d, dependendo da sua configuração. Mesmo assim não consegui 
 chegar a

Tentei exatamente isto, a menos da opção idebus no kernel e continuo não obtendo
sucesso. Experimente usar a opção idebus e realmente constou que estava sendo 
utilizado PCI Clock
igual a 66, invés de 33, entretanto a taxa de transferência caiu de 33.0 pra

Pra fazer que as configurações do hdparm permaneçam depois do boot eu tenho que 
utilizar as opções

Não entendo muito sobre HDs, mas pelo que me lembro o modo de 66Mb/s é
o UDMA 4, e o de 100Mb/s é o UDMA 5. Se o hdparm informa que o máximo
que seu HD suporta é UDMA 2, talvez seja ele o culpado.

grab the tarball from ftp.gnu.org and compile it. then put the executable

sblive

Can anyone help?

I am having trouble setting up my sblive.
When I use lsmod I can see that the emu10k1 driver is loaded but is
unused. The soundcore module is also loaded.
When I list the pci device the sblive is there and using the correct
irq.

But when I use a program like gcd to play an audio cd I can't hear
anything. I have used gmix to set the volume levels so it is not that.

Also when I use cat /dev/sndstat it doesn't show any drivers loaded.

What am I doing wrong?

Getting to the GUI...

2001-02-26 Thread Rick Commo
Ok, one more try before I sell my Debian disks to the lowest bidder...

Spent the last two days trying to get potato installed and running X.  Last
attempt was these steps.

(1) Do a clean install - simple

(2) Say no when it asks if it should probe for a video card 
since I know that my ATI Expert98 will not be seen.

(3) Say yes to defaulting to the XF86_SVGA server, but no 
to creating the XF86Config file.

(4) When install finishes log into root and do
apt-get install xserver-mach64
and say yes to making it the default xserver.

It starts up XF86Setup and I configure what I think
is the correct monitor choice - 8514 for starters.

When I hit [Done] the Xserver barfs - no screens 
configured so therefore get the infamous  (by this time)
can't connect error 111 message.

(5) Do XF86Setup, this time selecting the SuperVGA monitor
choice and then 1024x768 with 8pp for the Mode Selection.
Can't believe my good fortune, this time it works and 
the XF86COnfig file can be written.

(6) Change /etc/inittab to level 5 and reboot.
The xserver crashes and I'm back in 80x24 mode.

When I try to start it by hand I get no screens 
configured message and the server bails.  No amount of 
playing with the monitor choice allows the X server to start.  

I can't believe that it should be this hard!!!

What am I missing?  I ask this because 3 other people within the last few
days have also made mention of this same problem with the X server - the
can't connect, 111 error.  Two were on this reflector and one was in a
private mailing.  I would hazard a guess that it is all tied up in one's
monitor selection, perhaps coupled with the choice of monitor mode
(resolution).

I am willing to give it one more shot, but so far I do have to wonder in all
honesty why anyone would bother with this distro.  Someone give me a reason!

Thanks,

 cdrom and audio are quite normal groups to be a member of, they let
 you access sound hardware and read the raw cd (so you can play audio
 cds) there isn't much threat here.  only trusted users should be a
 member of audio since they can activate the microphone and record
 anything going on in the room the computer is located.
 
 group floppy is only needed if you need to format floppies or dd
 images.  it also gives you access to the tape devices.  
 
 never ever ever add yourself to group `disk' this is intended for
 backup daemons who need to read the raw disk devices.  but having
 group disk makes you root, you can totally destroy everything with
 that group.  (IMO disk devices should be mode 640 root.disk instead of
 660 root.disk, since backup programs need not write to the raw
 partitions only read)

Dear Friend and Future Millionaire, 
My wife received this e-mail and forwarded it to me to review. We've both read
completely through it and have been in contact with some of the individuals 
listed below.
We think it's an excellent opportunity that is well worth the small investment 
of time and money, and believe that you will, too! CRH
 

AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV:
 

Making over half million dollars every 4 to 5 months from your home for an

THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET ! 

 

  BE A MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!!!
Before you say ''Bull'', please read the following. This is the letter you
have been hearing about on the news lately. Due to the popularity of
this letter on the Internet, a national weekly news program recently devoted
an entire show to the investigation of this program described below, to see
if it really can make people money. The show also investigated whether or
not the program was legal.
Their findings proved once and for all that there are ''absolutely NO Laws
prohibiting the participation in the program and if people can -follow the
simple instructions, they are bound to make some mega bucks with only
$25 out of pocket cost''. DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF
POPULARITY  RESPECT THIS PROGRAM HASATTAINED,
IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER.
This is what one had to say: ''Thanks to this profitable opportunity. I
was approached many times before but each time I passed on it. I am
so glad I finally joined just to see what one could expect in return for the
minimal effort and money required.  
To my astonishment, I received total $610,470.00 in 21weeks, 

with money still coming in.
Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, New Jersey
 




Here is another testimonial: 

This program has been around for a long
time but I never believed in it. But one day when I received this again
in the mail I decided to gamble my $25 on it. I followed the simple
instructions and walaa .. 3 weeks later the money startedto come in.
First month I only made $240.00 but the next 2 months after that I made
a total of $290,000.00. So far, in the past 8 months by re-entering the
program, I have made over $710,000.00 and I am playing it again. The
key to success in this program is to follow the simple steps and NOT change
anything.'' 

More testimonials later but first,

FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW AND YOUR FINANCIAL
DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, GUARANTEED! 

INSTRUCTIONS:


Order all 5 reports shown on the list below  
 


For each report, send $5 CASH, THE NAME  NUMBER OF THE REPORT
YOU ARE ORDERING and YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS to the person whose
name appears ON THAT LIST next to the report. MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN
ADDRESS IS ON YOUR ENVELOPE TOP LEFT CORNER in case of any mail
problems.

When you place your order, make sure you order each of the 5 reports.

 


You will need all 5 reports so that you can save them on your computer
and resell them. YOUR TOTAL COST $5 X 5=$25.00.
Within a few days you will receive, vie e-mail, each of the 5 reports from
these 5 different individuals. Save them on your computer so they will be
accessible for you to send to the 1,000's of people who will order them
from you. Also make a floppy of these reports and keep it on your desk in
case something happens to your computer.


IMPORTANT - DO NOT alter the names of the people who are listed next
to each report, or their sequence on the list, in any way other than what is
instructed below in step '' 1 through 6 '' or you will loose out on a majority
of your profits. Once you understand the way this works, you will also see
how it does not work if you change it. Remember, this method has been
tested, and if altered, it will NOT work !!! People have tried to put their
friends/relatives names on all five thinking they could get all the money. But
it does not work this way. Believe us, and Do Not try to change anything other 
than

 what is instructed. If you do, it will not work for you.
Remember, honesty reaps the reward!!!

 





1 After you have ordered all 5 reports, take this advertisement and
REMOVE the name  address of the person in REPORT # 5. This person
has made it through the cycle and is no doubt counting their fortune


2 Move the name  address in REPORT # 4 down to REPORT # 5.


3 Move the name  address in REPORT # 3 down TO REPORT # 4.


4 Move the name  address in REPORT # 2 down TO REPORT # 3.


5 Move the name  address in REPORT # 1 down TO REPORT # 2


6 Insert YOUR name

Re: Getting to the GUI...

2001-02-26 Thread Nicole Zimmerman

 (4) When install finishes log into root and do
 apt-get install xserver-mach64
 and say yes to making it the default xserver.
 
 It starts up XF86Setup and I configure what I think
 is the correct monitor choice - 8514 for starters.
 
 When I hit [Done] the Xserver barfs - no screens 
 configured so therefore get the infamous  (by this time)
 can't connect error 111 message.

This isn't really enough information to fix this sort of problem from.
Try starting X with `startx  xlog.log` and then after your Xserver fails
to load, check in the xlog.log for more information. There has to be a
reason your screens aren't configured. 

 What am I missing?  I ask this because 3 other people within the last few
 days have also made mention of this same problem with the X server - the
 can't connect, 111 error.  Two were on this reflector and one was in a
 private mailing.  I would hazard a guess that it is all tied up in one's
 monitor selection, perhaps coupled with the choice of monitor mode

if you look at the Screen section of your XF86Config you'd get a little
bit of a picture of a screen. A screen combines the driver for your
card with the monitor and the depth/mode information. If any one of these
things goes wrong, a screen can't be created and you get the errno111.

Re: openacs configuration

2001-02-26 Thread Aaron Brashears
Just to bring a little closure on this...

It ends up that I didn't have the aolserver postgress driver
installed. That was a big pain because of conflicting package
dependencies which made it impossible to simply apt-get what I
needed. Eventually, I compiled the driver from source (and submitted a
small patch to the upstream people at openacs.org) and then proceeded
to find a lot of little problems with the openacsconfig script which I
was able to circumvent by manually doing most of the work.



mkinitrd

2001-02-26 Thread Johan Groth
Greetings,
I'm an old Red Hatter that have resently converted to Debian (or rather
Stormix Linux 2000 Deluxe). I've upgraded my system to woody to get X4.0.2. I
also installed modutils 2.4.2 so I can compile a 2.4.2 kernel. And here is my
problem that I hope someone on this list can help me with. 

I boot Linux from a SCSI HD which means that either SCSI support must be
compiled into the kernel or you use an initrd-image and have SCSI support
compiled as modules. 

As I always have had SCSI compiled as modules in Red Hat I thought I should
use the same method here. But in order to get that to work I need to create an
initrd-image that can load the scsi modules at boot time and for that I've
always used mkinitrd which is a Red Hat supplied script. I have no idea how
that script made an initrd-image so I'm a bit lost here because mkinitrd does
not exist on my machine. 

What is the Debian way to make an initrd-image?

TIA,
Johan

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.1.3-15) but 2.2-4 is to be installed
  E: Sorry, broken packages

I was curious about the numbers associated to libc6, 2.1.3-15 (which is 
in the stable branch) vs 2.2.-4 which is in the testing branch. Now 
I remember that some time ago, when I was trying to install balsa, I 
installed the version of balsa which was in woody (unstable at that time), and 
the libc6 libs where updated in the process. Now I don't have balsa 
anymore, I remove it, but I think that something was messed up whith libc6, 
perhaps some information regarding woody? I am running potato 2.2.r2, and I 
want to keep stick with it. How can I fix it? 

If you've installed woody's libc6, you either have to install woody's
libc6-dev as well or else downgrade to potato's libc6, not mix and
match. You could download the .deb for potato's libc6 and install it
with 'dpkg -i'; if balsa is the only thing you installed which depended
on woody's libc6 then it should be relatively painless, otherwise you
might have to do a bit more work.

I tried to remove libc6 in order to install it again from stable, but a 
huge amount of packages will be removed in the process and I am afraid to 
mess up even more my system...

Do *not* attempt to remove libc6 under any circumstances. :) Downgrade
it in place.

In general, if you're running stable, be careful about upgrading to
individual packages in testing/unstable; make sure you know what
packages are going to be upgraded in the process.

Drawing diagrams of servers

binfmt_misc isn't his problem, it's trying to execute random other files

based on the first two bytes of the file and tries to modprobe it; it
only goes near binfmt_misc if that module has specifically registered
itself as knowing about the binary format in question. I haven't worked
out exactly what's causing it for him yet.

Kernel Support for miscellaneous (your favourite) Binary Formats v1.1

You can enable/disable binfmt_misc or one binary type by echoing 0 (to
disable) or 1 (to enable) to /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status or
/proc/.../the_name. Catting the file tells you the current status of
binfmt_misc/the entry.

You can remove one entry or all entries by echoing -1 to
/proc/.../the_name or /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status.

if your going to compile your own kernel why on earth would you want

bootstrap your system??  the reason redhat does this is so the default
kernel is not bloated with every scsi driver in the kernel (whether
that is really that much of an advantage is debatable) when you custom
compile a kernel you can include only the scsi driver you need and
compile it right into the kernel, not as a module.  this is simpler
and cleaner.

compiling it as a module gives you zero benifit, you won't ever be
able to remove the module from the running kernel since you would
instantly lose access to the root (and all other) filesystems.  

 As I always have had SCSI compiled as modules in Red Hat I thought I should

leave your redhat ways behind, for they are baggage you no longer
require.

a good way is to learn to use groff with the pic preprocessor.

Hello,
I've installed the Netscape Communicator debs, and I installed the

When I start up only the communicator, it runs ok.
When I start up only mozilla, it runs ok.
But: when I first start up mozilla, and then I'd like to start 
communicator too, then another mozilla-window is opening instead of 
communicator!

Any ideas how to solve thist? I sometimes want to use both apps.

I use xfig for all diagrams. You will probably find that xfig can solve

You will probably find that Kivio will output its drawings in a format
which xfig can import. If so then just draw your diagrams and then import
them into xfig for final labelling.

If you have imported your diagrams into xfig, then you could produce an
xfig library containing all the Kivio symbols, and so use xfig to draw all
of your diagrams in future. I have done things like this for a variety of
purposes including technical diagrams, GIS mapping, scientific diagrams,
etc.

The xfig diagrams are saved in a readable ASCII file format which is easy
to understand. Therefore you can relatively easily generate them
automatically from your own database, and so you should be able to create
a database of all your user interactions, and have it automatically
generate editable diagrams for all your purposes.
