Re: [TR] - Install en .sgml

hola a tothom. Acabo de llegir-me pràcticament tots els missatges
acumulats en 10 dies (buf!), i m'agradaria saber:

.- del llistat que hi ha al final d'aquest missatage, quins arxius estan
traduïts? Digueu-me'n un que pugui traduir i m'hi poso. Digueu-me també
si us plau, la url absoluta d'on baixar-me'l. 

.- tot i que el correu el llegeixi amb windows, m'agradaria fer les
traduccions usant la debian. els fitxers aquests .wml , .sgml , i demés,
els editeu amb un editor de textos qualsevol? el vi és suficient? 

.- A banda de llegir els glossaris en casos de dubte, hi ha alguna mena
d'ordre o de passos establerts a l'hora de traduir un document? Vull
dir, si l'agafo i el començo a traduir a sac, respectant les etiquetes
diverses que m'hi pugui trobar, n'hi ha prou?

D'altra banda, una altra cosa: 
jo també preferiria revisar traduccions a traduir textos. Amb això no
voldria 'escaquejar-me' de fer la segona cosa, però, crec que se'm dóna
millor revisar textos en català, que no pas traduir-los de l'anglès.
Així doncs, per la gent que ha dit que s'apuntava a la revisió, jo també
m'hi apunto. 


doncs a veure si m'hi poso...

salut!

 Hola,

 Dins de 3 hores agafe un tren a Sogorb, i si tot va be no tornaré fins
 Agost.
 No tinc ni telefon, ni ordenador ni res per allí, així que en principi
 no podré pujar coses al CVS.

 Intentaré llegir el correu una vegada a a la setmana o així, el que es
 pot fer es que una vegada esté un .wml traduit, revisat i re-revisat,
 que Mqiuel m'ho envie a mi en privat amb un tag que cante molt, com...

 [VERSIO FINAL] foo.wml.

 Podria intetar donar prioritat a eixos mails i fer els updates.
 Un altra opció es que Jaiem Villate faça els commits, però encara no se
 si estarà/podrà. Li enviaré mail ara. En tot cas, no vos preocupeu que
 tornaré i les coses acabaràn penjades de la web :)

 Sobre els manuals d'instal.lació, Antonio, has agafat els sgml de potato
 o de woody? Per lo que em diuen, els de woody tenen pocs canvis però ja
 començen a ser diferents que els de potato, així qie potser volem anar
 directament als de woody. Els canvis deurien ser poca cosa, així que fer
 potato i després woody és viable tb.

 Bon estiueig :)

 Jordi

  Antoni a seques com l'espetec :-)

  Empro el paquet boot-floppies de la Potato, tan mateix hauriem d'aclarir si 
el directori seria ca o ct per al català, si els canadencs no tenen res a dir 
faríem com als locale, però tot plegat ety podem esperar a que tornis.

  Ja veurem com acaba la meva instal·lació de Woody per a després poder 
veuren l'estat del paquet en aquesta distro, tot i que si saps com accedir al 
mòdul en concret mitjançant cvs s'hagrairia.

  Les vacances: Et processaré una enveja sana fins que et sàpiga a la vida 
quotidiana. Cuidat i disfruteu-ne tu i els teus.

dmesg da información del arranque de la máquina y la primera línea te da la

	Para usar el en mascaramiento, supongo que es porque tienes una unica IP

Hola lista. He actualizado a Woody... Y aparte de un pequeño problema de 
dependencias con el esound, me ha surgido un problema con la configuración del

LANGUAGE =spanish
LC_ALL =es_ES

S_LANG =ES
MM_CHARSET =ISO-8859-1

Pero me pasan dos cosas: al loggear en el GDM, si elijo Sapnish como lenguaje 
(como lo he hecho siempre) me dice que por defecto está ISO-8859-1 y da igual 
lo q elija porque me sale el Gnome en inglés... Y al intentar resolver esos 
problemillas de dependencias, me sale lo siguiente:


perl: warning: setting locale failed
perl: warning: check that your locale settings
LANGUAGE =(unset)
LC_ALL= (unset)
LC_ALL =es_ES

Error al compilar un programa KDE. ¿Qué me falta?

Buenas, lista.

Resulta que me he bajado el código fuente de un cliente para el Audio Galaxy, 
llamado agbrowser (podéis buscarlo en freshmeat, como era de esperar :)). 
Pero me falla a la hora de compilar, dándome el siguiente mensaje:

/usr/lib/libkio.so: undefined reference to 
`KSSLCertificateHome::getDefaultCertificateName(KSSLCertificateHome::KSSLAuthAction
 
*)'
/usr/lib/libkio.so: undefined reference to 
`KSSLCertificateHome::getDefaultCertificateName(QString,

Tengo instalados TODOS los paquetes que dependen de task-kde-devel, incluidos 
los que recomienda o sugiere (entre ellos, kdebase-dev, kdelibs-dev...).

No sé... ¿me faltarán paquetes? Tengo constancia de que un amigo, con su 
Mandrake 8, lo ha podido compilar perfectamente, y eso me *jode* como buen

RE: Instalacion de un servidor ...como particionar el disco duro?

2001-07-15 Thread Carlos Martinez
Hola.
Perdón por la intrusión, pero no llego a comprender el porqué de partir el
sistema en tantas particiones y por qué dices que se trata de arrancar / con
lo mínimo y luego ir montando.
Saludos y gracias por vuestra atención.
Carlos



 Yo de ti no lo haria asin... A ver: para la / solo hacen falta
 150-200MB, y
 va que chuta. Además, si no quieres problemas al arrancar (lilo)
 mejor que la
 primera particion sea pequeña.

 Yo te propongo lo siguiente:

 /dev/hda1 200MB   /
 /dev/hda2 256MB   swap
 /dev/hda3 1G  /var
 /dev/hda4 extendida
 /dev/hda5 2G-3G   /usr
 /dev/hda6 los demás gigas /home

 Ademas, opcionalmente puedes meter /tmp en otra pequeña particion.

 El objetivo es que puedas arrancar la máquina con lo mínimo montado
 (particion /), y luego ir montando las demas particiones.

Hola. 

Tengo un pequeño problema con sendmail (de nuevo). A ver: Cuando envío mensajes 
los deja por defecto en /var/spool/mqueue. Se
quedan allí encolados y no los envía (en el /var/log/maillog marca 
stat=queued). Sin embargo, si reinicio el sendmail, envía
todos los mensajes que estaban encolados en mqueue. Al consultar el log 
aparece: stat=sent, vamos, que los envía perfectamente.
Teniendo en cuenta que al iniciar el sistema arranca sendmail desde el 
principio, ¿sabéis a qué se debe esto?. Y, ¿Qué hay que
hacer para que sendmail funcione correctamente desde el inicio del sistema, sin 
tener que reiniciarlo?.

Pues esas son mis dudas, muchas gracias de antemano.

Re: startx e xterminal

2001-07-15 Thread Pablo Lorenzzoni
Olah!

Do man 5 Xsession:
888
DESCRIPTION
/etc/X11/Xsession is a Bourne shell (sh(1)) script which is run every 
time an X Window System session is begun by startx(1) or xdm(1). 
Administrators unfamilar with the Bourne shell will likely find the 
/etc/X11/Xsession.options file easier to deal with than Xsession 
itself. 

By default on a Debian system, /etc/X11/Xsession is used by both 
common methods of starting the X Window System, xdm and startx.
888

Mas acho que esse problema do xterm - kterminal (naum seria 
konsole?) naum eh resolvido lah. Alias, naum entendi qual o seu 
problema! A configuracao do X eh feita, no Debian, pelo arquivo 
/etc/X11/Xsession  ou $HOME/.xsession.

 directly, then it's quit likely that, though I'm on the net for
 atleast 12 hours a day, you still miss me because my daytime differs
 from yours, living on the other side of the world and all that.  Were
 you to use your ISP's mail server, changes would go up remarkably,
 just because that machine is on the net during your nighttime / my
 daytime.  Best would be if we both used our ISP's servers, then the
 mail would get delivered instantaniously, so less resources used.

Hmm, that makes sense.  I assumed that people use an email address at a
mail server that is always connected.  So I thought that the only
problems would arise when a server was temporarily down.  I didn't know
that you could recieve mail _reliably_ directly at your own computers mail
server if you are connected intermittently.

So what you are saying then is: that I could go to one of those dynamic
DNS servers, set up an account, with my computer automatically
updating the address of my IP everytime I connect, and then I could give
out an email address for my machine and receive mail directly?

 ...
  I haven't experienced any problems with sending mail except on one
  occasion when my message was blocked because my ipaddress was black
  listed in the RBL of someones SMTP server - or something like that?  I
  think this was because I am on a dynamic IP address and some other user
  may have previously attempted to abuse the server or send some spam?
 
 There is a tendency to block *all* dynamic IP addresses whether they
 were used for spam or not. So this blocking probably had nothing to do
 with the previous user of that IP address spamming, it might as well
 have been a generic block.

Hmmm, that is a good reason to use a smarthost indeed.

Howdy Again Sebastian,

Sorry, but I guess I forgot to mention that the file would be
apt.conf if your running potato. Glad you found the right file though.
As for postinst scripts, if you know some bash shell scripting you can
open up the package.postinst script in the /var/lib/dpkg/info/
directory and fix the problem with the script. Or, less desirable, make
a skeleton package.postinst script of your own like so...

cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
mv package.postinst ~/package.postinst.bad
edit package.postinst (this will be a new an empty file now)
#!/bin/sh
exit 0

exit your editor and save
chmod +x package.postinst
then try to install it again as you did above
Now, I know it has been a little while and you may very well have
already solved this problem, but I couldn't get back to you until just
now about it. Either way, I hope it works out all good.
Now, with all that said, I would like to say, please don't reply
directly to me and my e-mail address, especially without including the
reply to the debian-user mailing list. It doesn't really bother me much,
but the fact of the matter is that others on the list will not get to
see and learn from our correspondence as easily, others may be able to
help you out a lot faster than I can get back you, and others on the
list can point out mistakes being made and make necessary corrections
much more easily if everyone sticks to responding to the debian-user
mailing list. That is what it is for. It's not that big a deal but I
hope you can see the logic in what I am saying. And just to let you
know, some people find it downright offensive to be replied to directly,
even if you have included your reply to the mailing list as well, and
understanbly so. Please don't think I am trying to be hard on you.
Actually just trying to help you out for future correspondences.

Thanks and I Hope That Helps,

Scanner + printer choice

2001-07-15 Thread mdevin
I have decided to purchase a new scanner and printer - especially since
Canon seem unwilling to help development of drivers for their scanners.
I intend to ditch my Canon models to a friend and won't buy Canon again.

I was considering one of those combo units with the printer and scanner
together - preferably flat bed scanner, so I can do photocopying if
really needed.

What experiences do people have with these?  I have been looking at the
HP ones but the scanner drivers seem heavily in development.

Is it advisable to stick with laser printers so that you have ps
capability straight off?

What suggestions do people have?

Thanks for advice.

Re: Scanner + printer choice

2001-07-15 Thread Sean
I have an older HP LaserJet 4 printer that I got off of ebay, and an
equally old UMAX Astra 1200S SCSI Scanner that I also got off of ebay. I
forget exactly how much I paid for each, but it was certainly less than
retail, and I feel I got pretty good hardware to boot.

CUPS works wonderfully with the printer, and Sane/XSane works wonderfully
with the scanner. Personally I think SCSI scanners are the way to go. The
one I have is significantly faster than the brand new Acer USB scanner I
use at work. Granted if you don't already have a SCSI card, this can be a
bit of an annoyance, but old adaptec 2940s are pretty cheap on ebay as
well.

Re: unable to create native thread

2001-07-15 Thread Adam Cassar
What kernel version are you using?

2.2.x has a limit of around 512 threads total for the system, and roughly
256 max for each user (512/2).

To change edit include/linux/tasks.h

Change NR_TASKS and MAX_TASKS_PER_USER appropriately. Then recompile and
install your kernel. Do a search on google for the 'volcano' benchmarks. IIRC
they have a section on how to tune linux for that type of load.

No bbox device for ghostscript?

2001-07-15 Thread C Want

Hi,

I couldn't find the answer to this in the archives so I thought
I would ask on this list.

The Debian ghostscript packages do not contain the bbox device for
computing the bounding box of a postscript file.

Does anybody know why this device has been excluded? Is there
a quick fix to get this device or do I need to remove the
Debian ghostscript packages and install ghostscript from source?

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Re: midi problem with on board sound i810

2001-07-15 Thread Donald R. Spoon
Steve Kieu wrote:

--snip--
 Why kmidi can play (not mention about quality) but
 playmidi and kmid can't?
 

This has to do with how the actual musical sounds are generated.  In
older sound cards (like the original SoundBlasters) the sound
synthesis was done with an on-board chip.  The most popular method was
to use a FM Synthesis chip, like the OPL-2.  In newer sound cards this
process is now done entirely in software and a synthesis chip is no
longer included on the sound card / chipset hardware.

The original GUS boards always used a software synthesis schema, and the
popular program TIMIDITY makes use of this process in a generic way to
provide a sequenced MIDI sound stream to the reqular audio input ports
of almost any sound card.  Timididy has advanced over the years to be
able to use other sound fonts than the GUS patch set, but the GUS set
seems to be the most popular/widespread.  Another software sound
synthesis engine is the softoss2 driver found in your kernel modules. 
I have never had much luck getting this one going.  There may be
others.

KMID and PLAYMIDI depend upon the presence of a properly configured
sound synthesizer and sequencer devices.  In the older boards, this was
done automatically during install.  The newer sound cards will NOT set
these devices up automatically when you install the card.  You have to
set them up yourself, generally.

KMIDI is a KDE GUI frontend to Timidity.  When you install this
program with the proper patch set, then the appropriate needed devices
are sort of built-in and you don't need them defined as system-wide
devices.  In a sense, TIMIDITY (and hence KMIDI) ARE the
/dev/sequencer.

The basic point here are that KMID and KMIDI are two entirely different
programs that work in different ways.  I struggled with this for quite a
while before giving up in frustration and using KMIDI for all my midi
needs.  I has some luck by using the Commersial OSS drivers from
4-Front Technologies, but not much..  This is probably more a tribute to
my ineptitude than anything else g.

 I'm trying to migrate from a Slackware system with kernel version 1.2.9 to the

 re-booting from the boot floppy) about installing and configuring the rest of 
 the
 system, which requires access to the Net.

You do not say which version of Debian you are installing. I assume it
is Debian 2.2 r3, code named potato, since that is the currently
stable version. Easiest way to install Debian is from a CD, if you can
use that.

 
 My connection is a PPP link, and it runs through a funny modem that uses port 
 2f0
 and IRQ 2.  On the 1.2.9 system, this is simply configured by setserial in
 rc.serial.  But this does not work on the Debian system, which reports No 
 such
 device although I made the /dev/ttyS14 entry with mknod.
 

And this modem worked under Slackware? And it is not a winmodem?
Winmodems are not supported in the kernel because their manufacturers
provide drivers only for Windows operating systems.

 It appears that the serial-port code now lives in a module; but where do I 
 find
 it?
 

In the kernel, did you include the serial module when you installed
the system? Anyway, it should be in
/lib/modules/kernelversion/misc/generic_serial.o . If you forgot to
include that when you installed, you can use command

  modprobe generic_serial 

as root to load it or edit /etc/modules to make it load automatically
at boot time. If you think you a missing a file, use command

  locate filename

to see if it is somewhere in your machine. 

 It also appears that many other people have had similar problems (mostly while
 trying to install Winmodems) -- a search for debian and ttyS14 turns up
 hundreds of pages of similar complaints, but no solution.  This is not 
 explained
 in either the Serial-HOWTO or the Modem-HOWTO.
 

Winmodems are not supported because there are no linux drivers for
those. I know there are efforts to write those drivers but you need to
hunt for them ourself.

 It would be helpful if the installation program provided the means of setting 
 up
 this special port for those of us who need it.
 
 It would also be helpful if the instructions on how to do this were included 
 in
 one of the HOWTO documents.
 

Are you sure it is not in Serial Howto?

 Furthermore, it would be nice if the necessary module (which I suspect is
 generic_serial.o) were readily available from the Debian ftp site.  
 Apparently
 it is buried inside a few multi-megabyte kernel packages, but not otherwise
 available.  And, without having the installation finished, I'm not sure I 
 could
 extract the module from a *.deb package anyway.
 
 Without getting the modem running, I can't proceed with the installation.  Any
 suggestions?

  post again.
 
 I don't think he can. I think this is the case where debian has no net
 access, but can get stuff off another filesystem via duel-boot with an OS
 that does have net access.
 
 While it would seem good to give debian net access :), he apparently can't
 for some reason.

Before ubiquitous net access became a commodity, debian worked just fine.
Why else do you think that there still is a dpkg-split utility in the 
dpkg package?

Admittedly, I wouldn't want to go back and dselect and apt are great 
improvements, but you can still manage a debian system without them.
It's just a bit more harsh.  Without dselect and/or apt, you'll quickly 
be experienced in sed and awk.  Maybe that is in fact the only way to 
really appreciate what the high level tools can do.

 So, now we know dselect needs /var/lib/dpkg/available. Is that simply a file
 that's downloaded? Is it something that's built from other files?

No, it's part of the dpkg database.  You should not be modifying that by
hand, unless dpkg itself has broken down.  

 I think he needs to know how to get the content via ftp or http and then how
 to build /var/lib/dpkg/available by hand.

Download the Packages file, ungzip it, and use the correct interface:

  dpkg --update-avail Packages

I thought earlier that it could be piped to stdin as well, but it doesn't.

 Also, could he just edit the one he has and take out one or both of the
 offending entries?

Sure, as I said, when dpkg is severely broken, you'll have to.  But this is
not the case right now, if he can still use dpkg --update-avail 

There is also --merge-avail, which works out slightly differently, but in
the case of a database corruption, --update-avail is better, I think.

In fact, if you remove the portmap package, all the packages

RPC services

2001-07-15 Thread Keith O'Connell
HI,

A novice type RPC/NFS question if someone could advise me please.

I have two machine running Debian and I want to share certain
directories between them. I installed them in as best as I could a
similar fashion. I am able to share directories in one direction, but
not the other. I was getting the error on one machine Mount: RPC:
Program not registered.

I read it up and have found that I need to run rpc.nfsd and
rpc.mountd and everything is fine. The question though is this, why do
I have to do it?

One machine clearly loads these daemons at boot time and one does not.
When they were installed in a similar fashion why does one machine need
these commands entered additionaly, and more importantly, how do I edit
it so that it *will* run these at boot time?

I told you I was new - Please indulge me with what must be a dummy-type
oversight

Keith

debian 2.2 release 3 and net connect

2001-07-15 Thread Rajesh Fowkar
Hi,

I am new to this list.

I am a home user on a dial up line, using wvdial to connect to the net.
When I was using Debian 2.2 everything was working fine. But since I have
installed Debian 2.2 Rel-3 there seems to be some problem.

What happens is when I connect to the net for the first time using wvdial, it
gets connected but my dns is not working. nslookup just gives the names of
/etc/resolv.conf dns servers along with the error that no servers not found.
However if I disconnect wvdial and dial again than everything works fine. Why I
have to dial twice to make dns work ? Anybody faced this problem with Release 3.
I am wasting my telephone calls here.

Please help.

My /etc/resolv.conf contains :

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ more /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 210.212.161.28
nameserver 210.212.161.30

(DNS servers of my ISP here).

Thanks in advance.

Warm Regards

Re: keyboard HOWTO

2001-07-15 Thread Ionel Mugurel Ciobica
 in my rxvt (thus via X) window, i turn off numlock and my keypad
 gives me
 
 y
 x
 w
 v
 u
 t
 s
 w
 q
 p
 
 0 thru 9 gives p thru y -- but each keystroke inserted a new
 line above the previous. aha! ^VkeypadDigit shows Op which
 is escape (vim thinks that means 'stop insert mode') then O as
 in capital oh (vim thinks 'open new line above') then p gets
 inserted.

In xterm this effect is absent. In rxvt I have the same behavior.
 
 how can i type an accented e? or a c-cedilla? or a u-dieresis?
 

There are many ways to do that. If you use xterm, you can get a Meta
key working and the 8bit characters are obtained by the 7bit ones
with meta key. Examples:

n is decimal 110, hex 6e, octal 156, bits 01101110
î is decimal 238, hex ee, octal 356, bits 11101110

so î is Meta-n

g is decimal 103, hex 67, octal 147, bits 01100111
ç is decimal 231, hex e7, octal 347, bits 11100111

so ç is Meta-g

An other way is to use the compose key. In my system that is
Ctrl-K, but some time is the Scroll Lock.

If you type Ctrl-K then ^ then i you get î. Ctrl-K then i then ^
is the same. ç is obtained with , and c or c and , and so on.
This is from kernel so it should work on many applications.
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose can show you more
combinations (if you use Latin1 encoding).

An other way is to customize your keyboard. You have to do it
in two steps because X and the console are using different
files.

/etc/X11/Xmodmap is for the X, but you may have a file
.xmodmap in your $HOME. This file you can generate
with xkeycaps, where you have to select your keyboard
and customize the keys you want. Click the right button
of the mouse on the letter e. Select edit keysym or key
and add a value (for instance egrave) in the third position.
Make sure you configure a key to be your AltGr. You can select the
right key or the win keys. The value for that is Mode_switch.

Save the file as .xmodmap and add in your .xsession file
the entry 
/usr/bin/X11/xmodmap .xmodmap

Then you get ebreve (é) using AltGr-e.

Of course you can edit the file by hand.

For console you have to edit the /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz.
The mechanism is similar, for instance the line:
keycode  18 = e
has to be changed in
keycode  18 = +e+E  +egrave +Egrave

and also make sure you configure one key to be your AltGr
key. If you have win keys you do:
keycode 125 = AltGr
keycode 126 = AltGr

otherwise your right Alt will do from:
keycode 100 = Alt
to
keycode 100 = AltGr



I hope this help.

Ionel

P.S. If you start customizing your /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz
you will loose some options. I had to add manually
control alt keycode 59 = Console_1
control alt keycode 60 = Console_2
...
alt keycode 105 = Decr_Console
alt keycode 106 = Incr_Console
etc.
to get back some useful stuff.


P.P.S. You can configure your Fx keys to insert some text you need
often, by replacing the line
string Fx = \033[[D
with
string Fx = your text here

such as:

string F10 =  ăâîşţ­ĂÂÎŞŢ 



Re: midi problem with on board sound i810

 So is there anyway to create a virtual device for
 playmidi or kmid to work?. I would like to know if I
 can configure kmidi as a netscape plugin too, do you
 have any information?
 
 Thanks very much for your info.
 

The short answer (from me) is I don't know!  

As I mentioned, I have been struggling with just this same problem for
over a year on several Debian-related OSes (Corel, Stormix, Debian,
Progeny).  I am NOT a programmer, and my general approach can best be
described as trial and error g.  At one point I had it working, but
I can't duplicate what I did :(  My card is a Sound Blaster PCI 128,
that doesn't have a synth chip on-board.  Most modern sound cards fall
into this category.

There is a dirth of info on how to do this sort of thing, and from what
I have experienced the default set of pre-defined sound devices is a
bit different with each OS.  The best info source on this process that
I have found is from the http://www.opensound.com/pguide/index.html
site.  There are some code examples there as well as the OSS
Programmer's guide v1.1 (PDF), which I would recommend as general
background info.  At best it is somewhat confusing to me, and NOT
hardware-specific.  

The fact that you are using another chipset than I do further
complicates the problem.  My card uses an ESS chipset that has its own
set of hardware features to contend with.  I know nothing about the
i810...

The best I can reliably re-produce here is to get KMID (and others) to
play a MIDI file, BUT I can't seem to get it to pipe correctly to the
audio section of the sound card, so I can hear it.  I can see KMID
running and playing notes on the GUI, but all I get is silence.  The
process to do this is to install the softoss2 driver and also a set of
sound patch sets (these are usually present if you have KMIDI or
Timidity working), then play around with the various synth selections in
the KMID preferences/setup menus.  I had the most luck getting to this
point with the commercial OSS sound drivers.

Perhaps someone with more knowledge than me can step in here and give us
both a lesson g.  I am real good at identifying problemsjust
rather poor at fixing them

 Am 14. Jul, 2001 schwäzte Joost Kooij so:

  Try to run update again from the dselect menu.  If you keep having
  problems with the integrity of the /var/lib/dpkg/available file, please
  post again.

 I don't think he can. I think this is the case where debian has no net
 access, but can get stuff off another filesystem via duel-boot with an OS
 that does have net access.

 While it would seem good to give debian net access :), he apparently can't
 for some reason.

From what i've understood, he has installed potato from the boot floppy and the
base system, and is trying to install potato packages, so he need to update
dselect/apt only one time.

 So, now we know dselect needs /var/lib/dpkg/available. Is that simply a file
 that's downloaded? Is it something that's built from other files?

 I think he needs to know how to get the content via ftp or http and then how
 to build /var/lib/dpkg/available by hand.

 I don't know how.

Never done that, but he probably needs to download the file Packages you find
in every debian mirror and rename it accordingly to the name of the apt
source.list, so for the entry

 deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

(correct me if i'm wrong) he need to download the Packages file from
http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary/i386/Packages;, rename
it as ftp.uk.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages
and, IIRC, in potato should be put in var/state/apt/lists, and repeat this for
contrib and non-free...


 Also, could he just edit the one he has and take out one or both of the
 offending entries?

I think yes, carefully editing could solve the problem, the file i alredy broken

You can do this.

How big is your hard dirve and how full is it?

Essentially what you need to do, defrag (i do it at least twice)
to make sure that as much data as possible is at the front of
the hard drive.  Then use FIPS (Use the DOS version) to split it into two
paritions.

THen when you install debian.  choose the newly created second partition

  I turn it off.
 
 
 
 I have removed gpm (but ill doule check) but it still seems to lock up

If the mouse works properly in gpm, you can make x11 and gpm play nice by 
setting your mouse device in x11 to /dev/gpmdata.  I've not tried this 
with an optical intellimouse, but it has worked for me in every instance I 
have had a conflict between gpm and x11.

Re: Cannot install kdevelop!?!

 I want to install kdevelop, but due to a version problem this does'nt work.
 After downloading kdevelop1.0beta1-1_i386.deb I tried to install with dpkg.
 But(t) dpkt quits with the error-message:

This is quite outdated. It is still from KDE1. Do you use KDE1? Or are you 
running KDE2 from testing? In the later case you should install kdevelop 1.4 
which you'll get by apt-get from the debian site...
If you're still using KDE1 I can't help you out of that...

The alsa driver mute all mixers by default. Did you turn up the volume

Re: Getting dselect and apt-* to work from a local file system

2001-07-15 Thread der.hans
Am 15. Jul, 2001 schwäzte Joost Kooij so:

 Before ubiquitous net access became a commodity, debian worked just fine.
 Why else do you think that there still is a dpkg-split utility in the dpkg
 package?

Never even heard of it before :). Cool feature, though.

 Download the Packages file, ungzip it, and use the correct interface:

   dpkg --update-avail Packages

OK, this is the knowledge we were missing. Now the question is: Is Tommy
still out there?

Tommy, here's what it looks like you need to do ( wait to see if Joost or
somebody else confirms my questionable presumptions ).

Download the Packages files from the sources you want. Boot into Debian.

Either use dpkg --update-avail /path/to/packages/Packages, then deselect
to decide what packages you want. Inside dselect you can choose to install
packages. Before they can be installed you'll need to download the
appropriate debs.

Joost, at the point they've been dselected he can run dpkg
-l | grep ^in to get a list of packages to download. Is there a better way?

He then puts the debs in /var/cache/apt/archives/? Install via apt-get
dselect-upgrade?

Then again, maybe we should just get Tommy's networking working :).

ciao,

der.hans

PS: Joost, thanks for all the info. I've learned quite a bit.

Re: dpkg problem

Am 14. Jul, 2001 schwäzte Joey Hess so:

 Only if the package is broken and doesn't tell debconf it is being
 purged.

Is there a way to get debconf to purge by hand rather than having to wait
for the package to be fixed due to the bug report we submit?

I have run into something like this before, but didn't realize it was a bug
in the package :(.

ciao,

You want lame for that.  Look it up on google, also look for
unoffical sources.list.  Lame is not on the debian ftp site,
because there are patent problems.

Better is to use the ogg format instead of mp3.  Ogg is free.
It is also said to be technically better.  Install vorbis-tools.

Re: [OT] xumod - undefined symbol error (2nd try)

2001-07-15 Thread Jimmy Richards
Hi Andy,

Great! I'll give this a try. Sometimes I try to figure out what's
by taking a look at the lines referred to in the error message, but I
didn't do that on this one. I really appreciate you letting me know how
to get it working. Right on!
In the future, please make your replies addressed to the debian-user
mailing list, so that all on the list can see it! Unless someone has
specifically asked that you Cc: to their personal e-mail adddress,
usually requested becuse they're not subscribed to the mailing list. No
biggie, just an fyi. Thanks again for you're help.

I'm off to get xumod working again as per instructions below,

 I just installed this today.  But I didn't install it like they wanted

 Then I went into the Tie-IxHash-1.21 directory and built that:  perl
 Makefile.PL ; make ; make install and did the same in the
 Config-Ini-1.06 directory.
 
 After that I just copied umod and xumod to /usr/local/bin, and put
 Umod.pm in /usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1/ and it all worked for me

  Greetings and Salutations All,
  
  I have an unreolved symbol when I try to run 'xumod'(an Unreal
  Tournament umod file unpack utility). I was using it just fine until I
  reinstalled Debian a few weeks ago. I reinstalled because I wanted to
  use the xfs journaling filesystem, in case you were wondering. I am not
  sure, but there may have been an update to perl right about the same
  time. BTW, is there a way to tell the date when a package was
  installed/upgraded? Anyway, when I try to run it I get the following
  error...
  
  Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1/auto/Tk/Tk.so' for module Tk:
  /usr/lib/libpt_linux_x86_r.so.1: undefined symbol: __ti8iostream at
  /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/DynaLoader.pm line 202.
  at /usr/local/bin/xumod line 19
  Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/bin/xumod line 19.
  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/xumod line 19.
  
  It's no big deal as the command line utility that's included, 'umod',
  works just fine. And, as usual with command line programs, it is more
  powerful and flexible than it's gui counterpart(you can use the *
  wildcard, and it can be used in a script). But it would nice to have
  xumod working. People checking out my Linux box like to see the X-Windows
  eye-candy and stuff. Any insight appreciated.
