El Wed, May 30, 2001 at 05:51:29AM +0200, October contaba: Hola ! Creo que eso era cosa del charset que se utilizase en el kernel (cp850, etc), porque el código ascii de los caracteres extendidos no es el mismo para diferentes charsets. Digo yo que será por eso. Te acuerdas en el MSDOS cuando se cargaba el mapa del teclado, etc? Aquello de mode con codepage prepare=((850) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi) mode con codepage select=850 pues digo yo que será que está usando el cp850, y que en linux estás usando otro (??) Mucha suerte y saludos: Exáctamente era eso, me fije con el comando charset G0 cp850 y queda igual a windows, ahora mi duda es cual el charset se debería usar cp850 o iso01? Y como lo seteo por defecto? Muchas gracias y saludos. -- // Santiago Pastorino \\ ( Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 ) [EMAIL PROTECTED]//
escaneo en particiones ext2
Hola, Pues la pregunta es si alguien sabe como hacer para que no se produzcan escaneos en las particiones ext2 cuando se reinicia el ordenador tras un cuelgue o algo asi. La razon por la que me gustaria saberlo, es porque tengo un HD de 80 GB y es una putada cada vez que se produce un corte en el sistema y tengo que reiniciar con un escaneo de aproximadamente 15 minutos. En una de las particiones tuve que ponerme reiserfs para eliminar este problema, pero hacerlo en el raiz parece mas complicado.

Re: Debian y ATA100
Yo tengo una placa que reconoce ATA 100 y me reconoce de manera automática que mi disco es ATA33 :-) Es decir, que si tuviera un disco ATA100 (algún día me animaré) supongo que me lo reconocería sin problemas. Aparte, al compilar el kernel tienes una lista de chipsets soportados, pero eso no se si tiene algo que ver (y la verdad es que me gustaría saberlo). Por si te sirve de algo, la placa que tengo es una QDI Kinetiz 7algo y con el kernel 2.4 me configura bien el sonido y todo. Con el 2.2.X no uede hacer sonar la placa. Es bastante económica y funciona con los K7. Un saludo.

Re: Debian y ATA100
yo lo consegui despinchando el disco duro de la ATA100 y conectandolo en un IDE normal, de esa forma, el Disco duro es hda y lo instala, luego instalas el kernel 2.4.X y le pones las opciones pertinentes, se instala con lilo, luego se pincha otra vez en el ATA 100 y cambias todas las referencias a hda a hde, pues el kernel coloca la controladora ATA100 como ide2 (o eso creo), en fin, el disco duro del ATA100 se convierte en hde. es un poco mas complicado de lo que parece puesto que LILO a veces protesta. La primera vez que se arranque, hay que pasarle parametros al kernel creo que le pase root=/dev/hde1, pero no estoy seguro. Espero haber sido de utilidad.

Instalar Debian por RED
Hola, trate de instalar debian por red pero nada, lo que hice fue lo siguiente, primero configura la servidor, le copie todo los 3 cd-rom de debian en la carpeta pub, disco1, disco2, disco3, ya que a las maquinas tenia que dejarles win2 copie lo base en win2 y arranque install.bat, en apt configuraba el servidor ftp que tiene los 3 discos. El problema es que el servidor no me responde bien, es un compaq de 566 y 128M de ram, cual puede ser el problema, y si me pueden decir como hago los disco de instalación para que puede soportar la red, en caso que no tengan un sistema operativo ya instalado, es decir total mente limpio el disco duro.

RE: Compile vs. Apt-get(was woody+php+php-nuke)
I had under the former subject. I had originally had Debian (stable) set up with php4 and a site done with php-nuke. I started working on a new project that, because of certain requirenments, was better suited for woody. So, I upgraded. During the upgrade, it un-installed php4. After the upgrade, I went into dselect to add php4 back in. When I try, it complains that it needs a version of apache lower than the one in woody, and won't install. I then installed php3, but have not been able to get the site back up, because the php3-mysql module will not talk to mysql. So I considered just compiling in php4 manually. Which I do not want to do if that would mess up apt/dselect.

If you got the php4.tar.gz file, untarred it, ran configure, then did a make install, Debian will not know that you have the php4 package installed, and it will not upgrade your php4.

Re: Cron problems
Hi. I have problems wih cron from the testing archives. When I edit a crontab file with `crontab -e', I must restart cron before the changes are applied (This means that I must `killall cron ; cron' before it works). I find this to be *VERY* annoying, and I was wondering if any of you had had such a problem and if you did, how did you fix it? Check the timestamps on the directories /var/spool/cron, /etc/cron.d, etc., and the files within them, to make sure none are set to a future time. There was a bug that was fixed that dealt with that issue: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=77353 This is supposed to have been fixed 5 versions prior to the one that's currently in testing, but you never know... -- Kevin
Printing to an HP 1220C/PS postscript printer
Howdy, I just bought a postscript capable inktjet printer from HP (HP1220C) which turns out to be a regular PCL3 enhanced printer with some Windows software that does the conversion from Postscript to PCL3 enhanced (HP Belgium wasn't even aware this of this software only feature -( ). Anyway since my network is mostly Unix based (Debian and Solaris) I need to find a way to get the bloody thing to print Postscript files. I tried ghostscript but I only succeeded in getting A4 300x300 dpi (the printer should be capable of at least A3 600x600 dpi) and that's realy not enough. I'll settle for a Windows based solution if necessary (and print through samba, note: I tried the Adobe Pressready Basics software supplied with the printer which is supposed to be a portscript driver for windows but it still prints my postscript files as regular ASCII). Has anybody had any success with printing to an HP 1220C ?

Anyone using Blackmail (anti-spam utility!!)?
I installed Blackmail on my Progeny Debian box and at the moment I have it set for passive mode so it warns me if a message would have been blocked. I use it with fetchmail/exim. It is working well, but it has a problem with mailing lists, including this one. The problem is that Blackmail will consider an email as spam if the To: header is not the email address of the recipient. With all my mailing lists my address is not in the To: header. The FAQ mentions using the 'backdoor' - I am not sure how to do this. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Phillip Deackes Using Progeny Debian Linux
Re: Using tar saving Disk-space [was: apt-get offline]
You can compress all .deb files into one zipped tar file with only one command. See the manual page of tar. You don't need to write code with a for-loop.

Re: Using tar saving Disk-space [was: apt-get offline]
Well, I know how to use tar in general. Zipping the .debs is not necessary because they are already zipped. What I meant is: The .tar file takes the same amount of space as the .debs themselves. So after having tarred them , I need twice the space as before. So I want to delete each .deb after having it added to the .tar archive (to avoid exceeding my disk quota ;-) ) joerg Bart Martens wrote: You can compress all .deb files into one zipped tar file with only one command.

Some sugestions of cheanges
I'm using debian for something about 10 month and after that I have a few sugestions :) 1. The Apache web server witch is avaible in stable distribution is very old. I've tried to add iso-8859-2 charset support to apache, but browser still showed that page in iso-8859-1 (not in iso- 8859-2). I've sloved my problem by installing deb package from testing distribution. So i sugest You to move it from testing to stable. Few of my friends had the same problem. Some of them because of that turned back from debian. For us it is verry important to view our web pages with our Polish characters. 2. Problem is in CGI.pm file it is overdated to, and doesnt support chcarset directive to add in headres (in that part dedicated to browser). 3. In new deb package of apache 1.3.19 every configuration is made in one file (/etc/apache/httpd.conf). I segest to make it like in version 1.3.9 4. In dupendecy is package SSH2, but it has no avaible version. I've tried to install SSH2 from package designed for unstable version, and it works fine. But I vant to use SSH 2 protocol with compatibility with SSH 1 protocol. Package SSH 2 can provide SSH 1 protocol, but only with installed SSH1 package. But packages SSH1 and SSH2 are in conflict in dupendecy tree. I don't know why but i sugest to cheange it as soon as possible. 5. Sendmail is in overdated version it is verry heavy to configure it for normal work as a internet mail server. It is verry dificult to add 'Relaing support'. I made it after 3 days of wondering what is wrong. 6. Linuxconf is in verry old version and some options don't work as they should. (for example configuration of interfaces) 7. I don't know why, but Pine is avaible only as source to compile. I think that it should be avaible as a normal binary package. 8. When installing package pine-src i sugest You to add to dupendecy packages witch are needed to build pine (make, build, gcc, libc6-dev, and one more but for now I don't remember witch one) 9. When new editor is instaled the '/bin/editor' symlink doesn't cheanges. I sugest You to add to editor packages question If the user wants o make installed editor (for example jed) default editor. I think that will be all for now :) I'm Looking forward for your answare Rafal Ramocki

Re: Using tar saving Disk-space [was: apt-get offline]
And yo was Joerg Johannes heard to yodel: Well, I know how to use tar in general. Zipping the .debs is not necessary because they are already zipped. What I meant is: The .tar file takes the same amount of space as the .debs themselves. So after having tarred them , I need twice the space as before. So I want to delete each .deb after having it added to the .tar archive (to avoid exceeding my disk quota ;-) ) It appears that your problem is one of strategy...IIRC the --remove-files option only effects after the archive is completed.. However, you could do incremental additions to the archive. i.e. create an archive that fits on the available space, delete the files used, then add the next lot to the same archive until all files are in the archive. -- I'm not advocating that anyone take up emacs.

Re: [OT?] LaTeX fonts in X?
Joerg Johannes [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
JJ Aren't the LaTeX fonts scalable post-script fonts?
Not generally; they use a meta-language called METAFONT, which
includes much more information than PostScript fonts use. (For
example, 5-point Computer Modern scaled to 20 points looks much
different from 20-point CM.) You can use PostScript fonts from within
TeX, but you can't necessarily use TeX fonts in the wider world.
JJ I wonder if it is possible to use, say, the cm-family font just
JJ like normal X-fonts, eg. for the GIMP. The idea comes from my
JJ need for images containing text. Using these images in Latex
JJ looks ugly if they use other fonts than the LaTeX-style.
There are a couple of options for this. I'd suggest using PostScript
fonts in your document (e.g. \usepackage{times})[1]; then you can use
a matching or appropriate font in your figures. (For example,
Helvetica looks much less odd against other PostScript fonts than
against Computer Modern.) I'd also suggest using something other than
the GIMP for most figures, since GIMP only deals with pixelated
images. Depending on what you're doing, xfig, tgif, and xcircuit are
all good choices that can produce encapsulated PostScript files as
output.
[1] In all honesty, I think the Computer Modern fonts are somewhat
ugly, and kind of like Palatino. This means that most of my LaTeX
documents have \usepackage{palatino} somewhere in the preamble.

Ximian Gnome Problem
Installation of Ximian Gnome Desktop failed, left problems I can't resolve. Last week I started download/installation of the full ximian gnome desktop from the ximian web site. The lengthy download timed out at about 50%. When restarted it completed the download of 319 files then the installation failed in mid-process. A subseqent dpkg command found many conflicting dependencies and aborted unable to resolve them all. The next time I tried to use apt-get it removed 100 files. After this I no longer had mozilla and when I tried apt-get --fix-broken --fix-missing install mozilla it reported that this could not be installed as an ximian file was to be installed. Not knowing how to find and remove the conflicting ximian files and having no mozilla, I thought to try again to install the ximian gnome desktop from the stable distribution (I'm running debian linux 2.2.19) with apt-get install task-ximian-gnome (an alternative listed at the ximian web site) There is, however, no such .deb package in the stable distribution. I next looked in ftp.ximian.com where I found a signature package for task-ximian-gnome but nothing else. I have sent a couple of emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and yesterday tried filing a bug report but as yet have received no response. Does anyone know how clean up - i.e. remove all the conflicting pieces of the ximian installation - other than wiping out my entire debian installation and starting over?

No, but maybe you want to use gdm on the actual console, but use xdm to

servers).
I once ran into a situation where wdm would not work with the Windows X

would work with the windows X servers. Hence, we ran the more functional
wdm on the console, but ran xdm to serve the Windows boxen.

Re: Ximian Gnome Problem
i had some problems with ximian too (on woody though) ... for the alternative installation (the apt-get one) have you added the particular ximian server to your sources-list? i don't remember the address but you can find it at ximian.com i remember in the beginning they actually forgot to add the task package, but i think by now they've added it so basically, when you use potato and added ximian to your sources list # apt-get install task-ximian-gnome should do the job. accordingly it should be easy to get rid of all ximian packages and start over. i browsed through dselect and marked all packages with ximian in the version number for deletion and that worked fine. hope that helps! vester On Wed, 30 May 2001, Thomas H. George wrote: Installation of Ximian Gnome Desktop failed, left problems I can't resolve. Last week I started download/installation of the full ximian gnome desktop from the ximian web site. The lengthy download timed out at about 50%. When restarted it completed the download of 319 files then the installation failed in mid-process. A subseqent dpkg command found many conflicting dependencies and aborted unable to resolve them all. The next time I tried to use apt-get it removed 100 files. After this I no longer had mozilla and when I tried apt-get --fix-broken --fix-missing install mozilla it reported that this could not be installed as an ximian file was to be installed. Not knowing how to find and remove the conflicting ximian files and having no mozilla, I thought to try again to install the ximian gnome desktop from the stable distribution (I'm running debian linux 2.2.19) with apt-get install task-ximian-gnome (an alternative listed at the ximian web site) There is, however, no such .deb package in the stable distribution. I next looked in ftp.ximian.com where I found a signature package for task-ximian-gnome but nothing else. I have sent a couple of emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and yesterday tried filing a bug report but as yet have received no response. Does anyone know how clean up - i.e. remove all the conflicting pieces of the ximian installation - other than wiping out my entire debian installation and starting over? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: xdm and gdm

1) Recently I read in this mailing list that to use gdm I have to remove
xdm. Cannot both of them coexist? i.e. both of them are installed. If
yes then what precautions do I have to take?
The software itself can coexist, but on Debian gdm conflicts with
{w,x,k}dm, so dpkg will not let you have both. There's no technical
reason why both gdm and xdm cannot run at the same time. You just have
to ensure that only one of them is managing a particular X server, by
tweaking xdm's Xservers file, and gdm's gdm.conf file. If you support
XDMCP clients, then you might also tweak Xaccess (and gdm.conf) to
control which DM handles XDMCP requests.
If you just want to run a display manager on your console, gdm offers
everything that xdm offers, and more, so you don't really need xdm.
2) From where can I obtain .deb packages of gdm?
Add a deb-src for unstable or testing to your sources.list, apt-get
source gdm, debuild...

BF Hi, BF I have installed the Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r1 on my machine.

BF I have a second distribution on my machine (a RedHat GNU/Linux), BF I haven't seen these error messages (althought I'm not working a lot with BF this distribution). First I thought that there was a problem in the kernel BF version (the first one was 2.2.17). My reflex was to recompile a new BF kernel (new version : 2.2.18pre21) but the problem seems to endure. BF I have already re-formatted my swap partition. BF If you have an idea of where the problem comes from please tell me. AFAIK it is a bug in kernel. 2.2.19 should fix it. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/)| | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
