Matrox G450+3D
Hola Estoy usando una Matrox G450, con DualHead y XFree 4.0.2 Me gustaría activar la aceleración 3D. Creo que para activarlo tengo que: -compilar con el módulo agpgart.o -compilar con el módulo mga.o -añadir glx, dri, etc. en XF86Config-4 -instalar algun paquete ??? ¿? He compiltado con el Kernel 2.4.4 y soporte para agp y dri para matrox 200/400 (la 450 está incluida? no veo ninguna referencia) Hago: carles:~# insmod agpgart Using /lib/modules/2.4.4/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o /lib/modules/2.4.4/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters carles:~# ooops...

consulta kernel_ppp - frame buffer
Hola, Tengo un par de problemas con la configuracion del kernel en potato2.2, y ya no se donde seguir tocando. El primer problema es que solo me puedo conectar al ISP con el kernel 2.2.17, al intentar utilizar el 2.4.2 o 2.4.3, cuando el modem llama al proveedor parece que negocia la coneccion como es avitual y despues el enlace se corta, aparentemente no levante el pppd y todo esta compilado igual, hace falta configurar alguna otra opcion mas en el kernel ademas del ppp?. El otro problema es que no habilita la opcion video mode selection support, lo cual no me deja acceder a la opcion frame buffer, alguna idea de como solucionar esto?

Tras muchos intentos consegui que apareciese en la consola, pero no recuerdo ni como. Pero que pasa con las X y con los programas que corren en ellas, StarOffice, Netscape ...

Todo lo que yo tengo es esto: http://www.cyberchat2000.com/ftp/targz/euro-1.5b3.tgz Aquí hay una fuente para consola, creo que 3 para X, programas de prueba y documentación.

De netscape creo que nos podemos olvidar de momento y mi corta experiencia con el staroffice de linux (5.0) me mostró que está hecho adrede para que sólo reconozca sus propias fuentes, así que nada. Documentación sobre teclado y consola: Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO man loadkeys man dumpkeys man keymaps man showkey Y para XWindow: man xmodmap man xev Si no estoy mal informado, xmodmap queda obsoleto frente a las extensiones xkb de XFree86 pero sobre xkb no encontré casi nada.

depois...

Getting StarOffice to print
I have gs, lprng, apsfilter etc on my potato system and it works. I can print from Abiword, Netscape and the command line. However, nothing happens when I try to print from StarOffice. Also, if I ask StarOffice to print to a file and then view that with gs with this command: gs -sDEVICE=x11 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 testfile.print then it looks as thought the fonts are really huge. How do you get StarOffice to print? Thanks. Mark.

Re: (OT) Storage (8*IDE HDs) any experiences?
hi ya... might be easier/cheaper to use a simple RC delay to deliver power to the IDE disks before the motherboard actually gets the power up - remember that the atx powersupply has a power-ok signal to tell the motherboard go ahead and power up... ( aka the power switch ) each ide disks takes about 1Amp at 12v to sping up the drive... and most atx powersupply is on that borderline at 8 drives.. 4-drives is no big issue you can fit 2 power supply into a 1U chassis if you used 8x8 sized atx motherboards... one of the 1u cases...put a power supply in the front and another at the back.

In a regular setup the IDE controller and the drive get power from the same source. So if the signals on the cable have more current going one way than the other then the difference will be made up on the 0V line on the PSU. If you have separate PSU's then the difference will go through other lines of the data cable. This is something that is likely to be fatal to drives and motherboards.

On a whim, I tried loading the scsi emulation drivers scsi_mod.o, sg.o, ide-cd.o and mounted the drive as /dev/scd0 and could now read the disk just fine!

Hello there :) I'm looking to set up a local Debian mirror(for private LAN only, until we get more bandwidth), but only of the Sid/i386 distribution. Now, anonftpsync seems pretty good, but I can't get it to work properly. I've gotten it to --exclude the proper things, but, unfortunatly, dists/sid/main/binary-all points to woody. Okay, no biggie. So, I fiddle around more. The best I could get was Sid/i386, and all of Woody. Not very good. :) I have also tried absurd_debmirror. Unfortunatly, it doesn't seem to deal with package pools.

Configuring gnus
I have decided to try out gnus again. In some way or another I got so far that I can read my old mail files and I am composing this mail using gnus. The documentation is not always very clear to me. I have a dialup-connection and in the past I used pine and mutt, fetchmail, procmail and exim to get and read my mail and slrn(pull) for news. I use procmail to sort my mail in to different files in ~/mail e.g. python debian ruby ocaml latex postgres wxpython clug I know I can sort the mail with gnus - but will try that later. I first want to get gnus working to get the feel of it. Now my questions and request: 1. How do I configure gnus to read the result of slrnpull? 2. I suppose I can get around without slrnpull when using gnus, but how do I handle the situation where I am offline and want to read mail or news? 3. How do I handle aliases and distribution lists when I use gnus as my default mail client? 4 Is there any interaction available with a database like lbdbq like Mutt? 5. What is the difference between semi-gnus and gnus? 6. My request: I would appreciate examples of the .gnus-file. I could not find any in the documentation. Regards. Johann Spies -- J.H.

Hi Johann, I used gnus for both mail and news for a long time and loved it. I can relate to your situation. Gnus can be customized in almost infinite ways.

I can't answer your questions directly, but I can point you to a couple of valuable resources if you haven't found them already. Lars Ingebrigtsen has a web site devoted to gnus. Have a look at www.gnus.org. The resources link will lead you to some tutorials, sample .gnus files, and the gnus mailing list. I highly recommend the mailing list.

Re: Power control question
Hello, Joel Mayes wrote: Just a quick question, how do i configure my Debian testing box so that the poweroff command actualy powers down my computer ? I'm using the standard 2.2.18pre21 kernel that come with debian. If the standard Debian kernel has APM enabled (wouldn't know, I always compile kernels myself), then at the LILO prompt (provided you use LILO), give it the parameter apm=on. This should, at least on an ATX machine, power off the computer on shutdown. Cheers, Viktor -- Viktor Rosenfeld WWW: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/

Partitioning prior to dual boot installation of Debian and Windows ME
I have a 40 GB hard drive and I am in the process of partitioning it and reinstalling Windows ME in expectation of installing Patatoe 2.2r3 when I receive the CDs from Cheapbytes. I have been generally trying to follow directions provided in Linux Partitioning mini-FAQ by Karsten Self and in Installing Debian 2.2 documentation. So far I have created on my first HD (39 GB total) one FAT-16 partition with 30 MB slated for LILO and possibly DOS. One FAT-32 26 MB extended partition consisting of two logical drives: one 2 GB the other 24 GB. My plan is to install Windows ME in the 2 GB partition and use the 24 GB partition for Windows applications. There is about 12 GB free remaining space on first HD which I am planning to use for Debian. Will debian be able to partition and format this free disk space at time of installation process? Also in Karsten Self's mini-FAQ on partitioning he refers to creating 3 primary and 1 logical partitions. Using fdisk I was only able to create one primary and one extended partition per hard drive.

Printer Failure
Hello all, I am new to the Linux world - I've only had a Linux box for about four months. The box is a Deabian Woody distro running on an AMD K6-400, I use lpr to print and I have an HP 712C, which up until now ran fine. Two weeks ago, I upgraded my kernel to v2.4.2 to take advantage of the AGP port feature, and at about the same time I did a apt-get upgrade. Now my printer fails silently - no error messages, no printout. I've tried lpr foo.text - if it's a large enough file, I can see it momentarily in the lpq, but it dissapears very quickly. I've tried cat foo.txt /dev/lp0, and I get a small pause as it does this, and then nothing. tunelp /dev/lp0 -s reports status 216, on-line tunelp /dev/lp0 -r reports lp0 online, using IRQ -1 (hmmm. . . dmesg tells me that parport0 is using IRQ 7, which is what it should be using.) lpc enable all shows that qeueing is enabled I regenerated the magicfilterconfig file - no better (although I would think that catting to lp0 should bypass the filter, so this shouldn't have been the problem.) I can't think of anything else to do - I've even tried rebooting and reconfiguring the kernel so that it's all compiled in instead of having all the lp and parport functions as modules. Still nothing. If anybody can help, I'd really appreciate it. I can't find any documentation about kernel v.2.4.2 - is this a known bug? I admit I haven't looked all that hard, as I'm between ISP's right now and I only have acces at work. Thanks again.

Re: Debian Compliant UPS for rack of servers
Rory, I looked at *all* the ups companies very recently. I wanted plenty of power and a *smart* function. I was amazed at how these companies have set out to take advantage of the ISP's company servers. I decided on Tripplite's APS2012. This unit provides 2000 watts continuous 4000 watts surge. It has no smart capability but if you provide several D16 batteries, it should provide your racks with several days of backup. If your outage continues, then fire up a generator since it has an onboard 60Amp charger. The unit with shipping cost my company $632 here in Sunny California. IMHO, the technology used on the smart variaty is more a waste of money. I want my system to stay up and I'm willing to donate the needed battery floor space. Since my stuff is in my home office, I wired a few outlets for critical light/media. If it *has* to be rack mounted, then strip a dead server and set it in there :) Cabling is an issue, don't skimp. If you need even more power then that, you can pick up the 4000 watt unit for a few more bux. Back up time depends completely on amount of batteries you add. If you need to be informed when an outage occures, just wire up a trip circuit/relay to an extra com port. #if outage, then email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Good luck and happy shopping.

The box is a Deabian Woody distro running on an AMD K6-400, I use lpr to print and I have an HP 712C, which up until now ran fine. Two weeks ago, I upgraded my kernel to v2.4.2 to take advantage of the AGP port feature, and at about the same time I did a apt-get upgrade. Now my printer fails silently - no error messages, no printout. Please wrap your lines at e.g. 72 chars ... I've tried lpr foo.text - if it's a large enough file, I can see it momentarily in the lpq, but it dissapears very quickly. I've tried cat foo.txt /dev/lp0, and I get a small pause as it does this, and then nothing. That's interesting... I don't know the in's and out's of your printer model, but I would have expected something to come out. Did your file contain a ^L (=form feed) at the end? Might be worth adding. tunelp /dev/lp0 -s reports status 216, on-line tunelp /dev/lp0 -r reports lp0 online, using IRQ -1 (hmmm. . . dmesg tells me that parport0 is using IRQ 7, which is what it should be using.) Very odd. I *think* I had that too, before I added options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=3 dma=3 to /etc/modules.conf (/etc/modutils/parport actually followed by update-modules). You may want to do something similar (but set it to whatever you BIOS is set to - the above settings are my current ones). lpc enable all shows that qeueing is enabled I regenerated the magicfilterconfig file - no better (although I would think that catting to lp0 should bypass the filter, so this shouldn' t have been the problem.) I can't think of anything else to do - I've even tried rebooting and reconfiguring the kernel so that it's all compiled in instead of having all the lp and parport functions as modules. Still nothing. If anybody can help, I'd really appreciate it. I can't find any documentation about kernel v.2.4.2 - is this a known bug?

ximian gets upgraded with ordinary gnome pkgs

email options
Recent messages about mutt and mail programs prompt me to think it's about time I learned the basics. I have always used kmail, and it's been adequate for my purposes - now I'd like to try better filtering and perhaps reduce the junk coming in. I've read as much as I can, including manpages and manuals, but I'm not sure I even understand the principles. Then there is the question of which choices from the mass of available programs. Finally, I'm not clear how the programs interlink. There's just a stand-alone box (with Slink Potato) - I dial an ISP when I feel like it and get mail from lists and very little personal mail. Little in the manuals seems needed, but there's a mass of detail to wade through. Its seems I need:- a. ppp -should be ok there. b. something to fetch mail - should be ok with fetchmail. c. a program to filter the incoming mail - procmail may do me, and as I've some info on rules syntax, I have hopes - but what is 'formail' should be with procmail but I can't find it. d. a 'reader and composer' - will try mutt, but shall struggle there. e. an MTA to send my outgoing stuff - I'll try sSMTp which is supposed to be 'minimalistic' - that seems true, very few options. Can't work out how it will know how to send mail. f. Initially, I'll leave junkbuster, pgp, ssh etc for the time being. Anyone kind enough to let me know if I'm on the right road? I know some of the apparently popular alternatives ( I can install exim but feel I'll need a higher degree in martian magic to configure either it or sendmail). A brief explanation of how the various programs are aware of each other, would also clear some of the fog. Grateful for any pointers. John.
changing console framebuffer modes

installing debian things and compiling your own stuff
hello all i'm very new to debian though i've been doing linux for a few years now i'm making my way through all the documentation but there is something i'm not seeing right now (meaning i am not sure where this is in the docs i'm reading so if you know, let me know) but i want to be able to tell dselect/apt-get (which are just awesome by the way) that i have perl installed, but i want it to be the perl that i've compiled i've read that you can put packages on hold, but i'm not entirely sure what this means, and what possible ramifications this will have on me later on i'm using unstable packages for potato 2.2r3 and with that came perl 5.6.0 but while using the CPAN module to upgrade and install some needed packages CPAN wanted to install a new perl for me 5.6.1 and so i went through with the install because i'm a Perl programmer and i want to keep my system up to date with the released versions of course i missed the Dpkg and Debian modules in my new directories like an idiot and had to manually copy them over there perl rating=not_entirely_relevant after upgrading Perl and copying over the Debian packages, i kept getting a syntax error about assigning to a goto i fixed the error but i'm not sure if this would have happened if i would have found a debian 5.6.1 pkg so i am waiting until i get more information before being so bold as to submit a patch /perl anyway my question is In Debian. What is the best way to tell dselect/apt-get that you have something installed and for it not to ever upgrade it, but tell other programs that it's installed so that you don't have to worry about dependancy issues. Besides Perl, I'd like to compile my own VIm. I know there is a way to get the source distributions, but i'm very fuzzy on that right now thanks (in advance) for any advice aaron

A brief explanation of how the various programs are aware of each other, would also clear some of the fog. It seems like you actually have the basics figured out. Your email client (mutt, balsa, whatever) lets you compose the message, then forwards it to your MTA. This handles the routing for the email - it will send to other accounts on your box, or forward it to the outside world if need be. Most of the MTA's (sendmail, exim, smail, whatever) will let you tell them to use an external program to assist in the routing - so if you want to have all the mail from one mailing list dumped in a seperate folder from your personal mail, you can have sendmail deliver the mail to your account, and then have procmail filter it. Finally, fetchmail retrieves your mail from a remote host and gives it to the MTA, which then delivers it to the appropriate account. This is really a gross oversimplification - if you want a complete walkthrough, http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Mail-Administrator-HOWTO provides a much better description than I can. Basically, your MTA handles all the routing on your network (even if it's a standalone box, it still thinks of itself as a network) and sends to outside. The fetchmail and procmail programs work alongside the MTA, and all the email clients should basically just work, once you have the underlying programs set up, and it shouldn't matter which client you use. Good luck, Steve

A brief explanation of how the various programs are aware of each other, would also clear some of the fog. You pretty much have it. First I would set up your MTA. Don't know about sSMTp but I've set up both exim and sendmail and it wasn't that hard. Both have config scripts: eximconfig and senmailconfig IIRC. Configure which ever one you choose to use your isp as a smarthost. Once you have that done fire up mutt and see if it can find the directory it's looking for and send a mail to your isp. Then when you can send mail fine, configure fetchmail to grab your mail from you isp. Test this and when all is working create your mail boxes and set up procmail formail is part of the procmail package. There is a manpage for it.

Ghostscript hanging when printing from Kmail
I'm running a Woody system. I'm not sure when the problem started, but at some point I stopped being able to print from Kmail. The CPU gets pinned and I notice a gs process that never exits. Of course the printer (HP LaserJet 4L) doesn't even blink. If I kill gs (have to be root) the CPU calms down. I assume that some Ghostscript configuration entry got zapped somewhere along the line. But I don't know where to look. My guess is that the wrong command-line arguments are specified to gs, and maybe it's waiting for input, or something (?).

Please help me switch to a non-GUI email client
I'd like to switch from a GUI email client, currently Kmail to a non-GUI one, either mutt or gnus. I understand the advantages of doing so, but apparently need some help getting started. I think I can deal with most of the configuration issues with patient manual readings and config file clonings and dorkings. Receiving is no problem, since I currently run getmail to download mail to my spool file, and Kmail reads from the spool file, not POP. The part I don't understand is the sending part. Right now I just tell Kmail that my sending protocol is SMTP and my server is mail.foo.com, and it works. With mutt, and probably gnus, do I have to have a sendmail-type program configured somehow to do the SMTP for me? I've been trying to puzzle out exim, with little insight gained. A well-aimed kick in the right direction would be most appreciated. Thanks, Steve -- Steve Cooper Redmond, WA (For witty remark see attached microdot-.)
