Configurar Debian.
Saludos listeros¡¡ Despues de instalar el metapaquete helix gnome(con el dselect)y que no diera ningun error se me presentaron las siguientes dudas: ¿cual es el programa de correo de helix gnome?,pregunto porque no he podido encontrarlo,no obstante de una instalacion anterior tenia el balsa pero no esta integrado a la barra de menus :( viendome obligado a ejecutarlo desde run...balsa,para luego comprobar que me manda un mensaje de error y por lo tanto no funciona... Luego intento instalar el metepaquete del kde y despues de ir limpiando errores me quedan los siguientes: el dselect me dice: kpackage depends on librpm1 =3.0.4-3 siendo la version que yo tengo en el dselect menor a la que necesito instalar tambien dice ksirc depends on libmime1... libmime1 does not appear to be available... supongo que el problema de instalacion puede estar en estos dos problemas,¿cual seria la solucion? saludos a todos.. Juan.
Redirección con iptables
Saludos.
Ando peleándome con el iptables y quería plantearles una
duda acerca de un problema que estoy teniendo con él.
Estoy tratando de desviar todo el tráfico que llega al
puerto 80 de la máquina 192.168.1.1 a la máquina
192.168.1.2, es decir, intento hacer que las
peticiones www vayan a esta segunda máquina.
La red funciona perfectamente, pero si uso nat no consigo
el resultado esperado.
Explico:
Con el objetivo de desviar este tráfico, ejecuto
la siguiente orden:
iptables -v -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.2:80
Ojo: uso OUTPUT porque lo estoy probando desde la 192.168.1.1, aunque
de todas fromas, ya lo he intentado también con PREROUTING -i eth0.
Intentaré arrojar algunos resultados: si no me equivoco, para establecer
la conexión, el cliente envía un syn. Luego el servidor contesta con
un ack y el cliente envía otro ack.
Pues bien, según veo con el tcpdump, el ack del cliente nunca llega a enviarse.
Si hago un ``netstat -at'' en el servidor me pone en State: SYN_RECV.
Y un último apunte: no sé a santo de qué veo con el tcpdump
envíos de paquetes desde diferentes puertos, es decir, la conexión la
intenta establecer, por ejemplo, sobre el puerto 80 desde el 1079,
pero veo envío de paquetes desde el 1080, el 1081... :P
En fin, que estoy más perdido que un pulpo en un garaje y no sé por
dónde seguir. Incluso activé los LOGS de iptables, pero parece que
hace el cambio correctamente.
¿Alguna idea?
Gracias de antemano.

Bajarme el correo en funcion de la carga de red
Hola amigos, Tengo una dudita. Tengo en mi casa ADSL con un modem externo 3Com 812. Tenemos enchufado al router el ordenador de mi hermano y el mio. Quisiera hacer un script que me baje el correo por ejemplo cada 15 minutos (esta chupao) pero la dificultad estriba en que quiero que lo haga si la carga del router es poca. Esto sucede porque mi hermano juega a Quake3 por Internet y yo quiero que mientras juega no baje el correo para que no tenga lag (bueno :) el menor posible). Se puede hacer?

Muchísimas gracias de antemano por su ayuda. No es la forma más segura, dado que si se expone al servidor de web se expone la intranet. La forma habitual de hace esto es tener una red separada (DMZ, o zona desmilitarizada) donde se ponen los servidores con exposición externa que puedan ser comprometidos. De forma que tenemos: Red publica --- Fw - Red Interna | DMZ Así, si un programa mal hecho permite ejecutar, por ejemplo, código arbitrario en el servidor de web, no se expone a los equipos en la red interna sino sólo a los de la DMZ. Evidentemente, se ponen reglas estrictas de cortafuegos entre las tres redes (desde la red pública a la DMZ, desde la DMZ a la red interna)... Un saludo Javi

Tal como lo dices, la respuesta rápida es, que no se puede. Bajar el correo tarda mas que 0 segundos, y una vez empezado no hace sentido pararlo por ejemplo porque el quake comienza poco después. Si empieza fetchmail, y medio segundo mas tarde sube la carga en la red, ¿qué pretendes que aconteza? Una chapucita fácil sería hacer un wrapper script al quake que deje por ejemplo un fichero en tu máquina (usando ssh con las claves registradas para no necesitar password) y que lo borre quando termine. Entonces puedes hacer un simple [ -e antes de ejecutar fetchmail. Claro, esto falla si el quake no termina limpiamente (porque no tiene posibilidad de eliminar el fichero), ni resuelve el problema de arriba. Pero es fácil y posiblemente se ajusta bastante a lo que quieres. La solución `correcta' será probablemente no pretender que el fechmail no sea iniciado, sino que tenga una prioridad muy baja en el uso de la red (o el quake una muy alta). Usar el kernel 2.4.x plus iptables(8) plus el tc(8) para la prioridad de las colas, te permite hacer esto. Al menos que ya hayas hecho una cosa así, creo que no es un projecto para 5 minutos. -- Christoph Simon [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- ^X^C q quit :q ^C end x exit ZZ ^D ? help NO CARRIER .

Re: Bind
Perdonad, pero acabo de ver esto en el DNS-como:
El caché se almacena en memoria completamente. No se escribe en disco en
ningún momento. Cada vez que mata a named se pierde el caché...
No, named no salva el caché cuando muere. Esto significa que el caché se debe
reconstruir de nuevo cada vez que mate y reinicie named. No hay forma de
hacer que named salve el caché en un archivo. Si quiere, puede cambiar esto
tocando los fuentes de named, lo cual no es recomendable.

No consigo hacer masquerading
Hola, tengo dos ordenadores conectados con plip, y querria hacer masquerading, aunque no lo consigo. Siguiendo el IP-Masquerading Howto (version para kernels 2.4.x -- iptables), lo maximo que he podido hacer es un ping del cliente a la direccion IP de ppp0 (a la IP local), pero de ahi no salgo. La verdad es que no acabo de enterarme con todo el tinglado este del iptables... Estos son los scripts para iniciar la conexion por plip: --servidor-- valhalla:~# cat /usr/local/bin/plip_on #!/bin/sh # Script para activar la conexion por plip con el ordenador 'dante' /etc/init.d/lprng stop rmmod lp modprobe plip ifconfig plip0 valhalla pointopoint dante --cliente-- dante:~# cat /usr/local/bin/plip_on #!/bin/sh # Script para activar la conexion por plip con el ordenador 'valhalla' /etc/init.d/lprng stop rmmod lp modprobe plip ifconfig plip0 dante pointopoint valhalla route add default gw valhalla La configuracion de iptables que he usado es la que aparece en el mismo howto (la pongo attacheada).

killing dead cdrecord processes
I've been trying to burn a CD using gcombust. For some reason the burn got stuck halfway through (the output of cdrecord, which gcombust calls, said that all of a sudden one of the SCSI commands couldn't be understood. It's a HP USB CDWriter using the usb-storage module, which uses a series of scsi modules.) I closed gcombust and tried running it again to blank the CD and start again. But it turns out that the old cdrecord processes are still running: $ ps aux | grep cdrecord root 1978 0.0 0.2 1412 232 pts/0D13:39 0:00 /usr/bin/cdrecord -reset dev=1,0,0 root 1983 0.0 5.8 5512 5512 pts/0DL 13:42 0:00 /usr/bin/cdrecord dev=1,0,0 -load root 2018 0.0 5.8 5512 5512 pts/0DL 13:53 0:00 /usr/bin/cdrecord -v -dummy -pad speed=4 dev=0,6,0 blank= all The state is D, which means uninterruptible: the processes do not respond to kill -9.

I think what you see is this: Linux requires a directory to exist before anything can be mounted there. When the mount command is executed, the mount point is `replaced' by the remote directory, including the permissions of the latter. The permissions of the local mount point only matter when the directory is not mounted.

On Sat, Jul 21, 2001 at 04:53:35PM +0200, Joost Kooij wrote: What is the need for the seperate variable $BEGINREGEX? It complicates things enormously when you want a variable $no to be evaluated whenever $BEGINREGEX is evaluated. The only sane way out is to completely reevaluate $BEGINREGEX after each change to $no. To do that successfully, you have to escape '$', '', and '\' and then escape some of the escapes, but others not, depending on wheter they should never be expanded, expanded in the eval or expanded when applying the regexp. I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole if I were you. If you succeed at it, you have great job security, and a maintenance nightmare. Right, I agree. Easier is to not use a $BEGINREGEX at all: $line =~ m(^!-- // begin of news$no // !--$); should always work, for the current value of $no. Which is what I ended up doing. I made a function getBeginRegex() and getEndRegex() which return the string I then use as a regex for searching. This way I don't have to write the regex string many times over in the program, which is what I was trying to avoid when I did the $BEGINREGEX thing. Thanks a lot for your help! Sven

Then i made the mistake of uninstalling lilo, so when i rebooted the pc, LI instead of LILO: appeared (meaning LILO is damaged?). i'm triple-booting QNX4, Win98 and Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3 on my system. i went to the point of ridding lilo from the mbr just to use an OS (Win98 then loadlin-ing the kernel). How do I fix this? 2.)Also, how do i install a kernel 2.4.x in potato? i hear that one needs to make kpkg the kernel source. can't i just copy the kernel image and install the sources (make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install) or do I really need to make kpkg the source just to make the system detect the modules? if so, how do i do it and what do i need? 3.)Do i need to upgrade pppd if i use kernel 2.4.x? wvdial won't connect - something like invalid argument reflects in the /var/logs/message file. what do i need to do? is there a better way to connect via dial-up than wvdial? if so, how? thank you, and god bless!

What is happening here is, when mount points are exported over NFS, NFS doesn't munge the UID/GID flags on the file.

Be very careful with any of the --force options to dpkg, they're not
supposed to be needed, so if you use them, something is likely wrong
somewhere and you might be making it even worse only.
Use dselect for package management. Learn to understand the concepts
behind the debian package management system and you'll find that dselect
is a fine tool. Don't be scared by people who say that it is too hard
to use, they just don't understand the packaging system. If you don't
understand the packaging system, you're likely to nuke your system
somehow some day anyway.
after that i recompiled kernel 2.4.7pre3. when i ran
lilo, it flashed out a message open /vmlinuz - no
such file or directory when i used whereis open -
open was still there. I couldn't use lilo because of
Perhaps this was only an error message by lilo that the call to open
/vmlinuz failed (i.e. open returned with a failure). The open
that it complains about is probably not the open that you find when
you use which. Check out the differences between the open(1), the
open(2) and the fopen(3) manual pages.
If your /etc/lilo.conf lists an image with the name /vmlinuz, and
that file does not actually exist in your filesystem, lilo cannot
setup the boot block to point to a place on your disk where that file
is supposed to be (but isn't). If /vmlinuz is a symbolic link, eg.
to /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19, then the file, that the link is pointing to,
must also exist.
Read the lilo.conf manual page to find how to setup the right boot image
for your system.
this. Then i made the mistake of uninstalling lilo, so
No need to remove lilo from your system, I would think? Unless you want
to switch to grub as your bootloader, but I don't expect so and it would
only create more confusion.
when i rebooted the pc, LI instead of LILO: appeared
(meaning LILO is damaged?). i'm triple-booting QNX4,
You rebooted the machine whilst it did not have a valid lilo bootloader.
H... One way of getting back in is to boot from a installation
floppy with the boot parameters:
rescue root=/dev/your debian root partition
Then login as root and reinstall lilo, fix the /etc/lilo.conf and this
time, run lilo -v -v (I always do that) so you can see more exactly what
is going on. After all, the results of little mistakes are relatively
large, so a little more attention is appropriate.
You also need to understand the difference between /sbin/lilo, which
is also called the boot block installer, and the little piece of code
called the boot block, which is installed by /sbin/lilo onto special
places on your harddisk. The boot block is what actually gets executed
by the bios when your pc boots and it in turn loads the linux kernel.
When /sbin/lilo is run, it updates the boot block's notion of where to
find the kernels listed in /etc/lilo.conf.
Win98 and Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3 on my system. i went
to the point of ridding lilo from the mbr just to use
an OS (Win98 then loadlin-ing the kernel). How do I
fix this?
If you do a lot of rebooting and os switching, then loadlin.exe might not
be such a bad idea after all, as long as you are diligent in making sure
that a bootable kernel is always available as a file in the windows98
filesystem.
Use the debian rescue floppy to boot into your system and read the lilo
documentation (there's an awful lot of good details in /usr/doc/lilo if
you care) and fix the boot loader.
Alternatively, create a simple bootfloppy:
cat /vmlinuz /dev/fd0
rdev /dev/fd0 $( rdev | awk '{ print $1 }' )
Voila, you have a bootdisk that always works, if the disk is any good,
that is, and if you make it read-only. Make two if you want to be sure.
And make sure that /vmlinuz is indeed the kernel that you want to boot.
Use another filename if you like, there is nothing that says that your
kernel must always be named vmlinuz or be in places like / or /boot.
After all, if you cat it to a raw floppy, it doesn't have a name or a
place either, since there is no filesystem.
BTW, the rescue disk does have a FAT filesystem, so it can be read
by windows as well, and the linux kernel is named linux. Be careful
when you replace it, because it needs to be a kernel that can do special
tricks, called initrd, so the installer can read the basic programs it
needs from another file on the floppy. You do not need those for your
own simple bootfloppy created by cat'ting your current kernel to /dev/fd0.
2.)Also, how do i install a kernel 2.4.x in potato? i
hear that one needs to make kpkg the kernel source.
can't i just copy the kernel image and install the

ALSA compile problems
After upgrading to kernel 2.4.7 (in the hope that it will finally fix
the memory insanity), I went to recompile all my kernel modules (using
make-kpkg). The NVIDIA modules compiled fine, so did the i2c and
sensor modules, but when it got to compiling the ALSA drivers, I got
the following error:
-

Looking at the Recommends' field shows that indeed the version string
is empty. Thinking that it might just be stale files lying around or
something, I tried both make-kpkg modules_clean and deleting and
recreating the the alsa-source directory from the tarball. The
command line I used was 'ALSA_NOPNP=n ALSA_DEBUG=n ALSA_CARDS=emu10k1

Does anybody have any idea about what to do? If it's a bug in
make-kpkg, is it known or fixed anywhere?

I think you may have way too much swap space. Try a small value, like 12 megs or so. You might run out of memory when running userland apps, but it may keep the kernel from crashing. Check that. From the June 7, 2001 LWN: About that swapping problem. Problems with the use of swap space in 2.4.x were also mentioned last week. The amount of complaining has gone up recently, as more people try out the 2.4.5 kernel, which appears to be worse. The response from the kernel hackers so far has been make sure your swap area is at least twice as large as the amount of RAM in the system. That allows the kernel, essentially, to waste half of the swap space as a copy of what is currently in RAM, and actually swap to the other half. That technique helps, but a number of people are, not surprisingly, unimpressed with that requirement. 2.2 systems seemed to work better, after all. In fact, 2.2 had the same problem with swapping, but the more aggressive approach to caching in 2.4 has made the problem bite a lot more people. And from the LWN a week earlier: Stabilizing memory performance in 2.4. One of the remaining problem areas in the 2.4 kernel is its virtual memory subsystem. Not only are there simple performance problems, but there are also still situations that can cause the kernel to deadlock. Not quite what one wants to see in a stable series. The kernel hackers are working on dealing with these problems, however; with luck, VM difficulties will not be with us for much longer. One problem that users of recent 2.4 kernels are likely to have noticed is heavy use of swap space. It is not unusual for a kernel to be running heavily in swap even when there is not that much going on with the system. This problem seems to have only gotten worse with recent kernels. It is, of course, the same old bug where the kernel fails to recover swap space for pages which have been brought back into memory (covered in the May 3 kernel page). This problem will get fixed, but not quite yet. Alan Cox phrased it well: That is a giant size special edition stupid design flaw that is on the VM hackers list. But there are only a finite number of patches you can do in a day, and things like sucking completely came first I believe. Alan didn't spell out what sucking completely meant, but most would probably agree that system deadlocks could be fairly described with that term. Rik van Riel this week managed to stir things up a bit with this patch which attempted to fix a couple of deadlock problems. -- Brian Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On Sat, 21 Jul 2001, Geoffrey Romer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was in the process of trying out some new desktop environments. I had been playing with KDE for a while with no ill effects, and then logged out to try Gnome. Due to the awful performance of nautilus, which started by default, I uninstalled nautilus (apt-get uninstall nautilus). This took task-gnome-desktop and task-gnome-games with it. On restarting KDE, I discovered to my horror that the fornt had switched to something really ugly and illegible. Further investigation revealed that it was alphabetically the first font which KDE was aware of, and when I tried to switch it back, I discovered that Helvetica was totally absent, and could not be re-enabled. An attempt to 'restore defaults' switched me to an equally ugly non-helvetica font. Just in case, I tried reinstalling the uninstalled packages (though Gnome *really* shouldn't be affecting KDE). the task-* packages wouldn't install, but nautilus came back fine. However, KDE still doesn't see Helvetica. The really odd part is that a few parts of KDE (particularly the opening KDE splash screen and the really log out? confirmation widnow) still seem to use Helvetica, even though it doesn't seem to exist, which makes me wonder if perhaps Helvetica is still there, but somehow invisible to KDE's font configurator. Where does KDE get its' font listing from? How can I determine if Helvetica is actually gone, or just missing from the list? Whether the former or the latter, how do I get it back? What package is it part of? Try this: xlsfonts | grep helvetica. If you get a list of XLFDs, Helvetica is installed and seen by the X server, but not used by KDE. Could it be that you have anti-aliasing turned on? This will make KDE ignore bitmap fonts as they can't be AA'd. If you don't see any list, Helvetica is either not installed or the is not in you fontpath. A bitmapped Helvetica font is in the xfonts-75dpi and xfonts-100dpi packages, font files go into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi.

I tried to download 4.1 source but for some odd reason it will not build (make World works but make install complains about missing files even though they are actually present on the system). However in discussion with the Xpert list at Xfree86.org I found that others were having success with Woody as a base rather than stable 2.2r3. So having had an /etc/apt/sources.list which was entirely CDROM based, I updated it to point at uk.debian.org to download woody. The entry looks like:- deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free and I ran dselect which said that all manner of things needed to be updated. It says that 233 packages need to be upgraded, 89 newly installed, 1 to remove and 3 not upgraded. It then starts scanning packages, gets to 90% and complains about a Template parse error near at /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/DebConf/Template.pm line 102, TEMPLATES chunk 2. So I did a search on the archive for this list and found advice (from the 17th July) to updrage DebConf on its own using apt-get install DebConf which duely went through (after one problem which a rerun seemed to cure). Unfortunately the problem still persists, and I can not get any further. Now it might be that I am missing something sources.list file which I need, it might be that the 2.4 upgrade package has mucked things up, more likely I have mucked something up. Anyone got any ideas as to how to proceed? Thanks in advance David BTW, it would be useful if the various Debian mirrors included sample apt/sources.list entries on there websites. If they already do then I have failed to find them and it would be useful to have a pointer.begin:vcard n:Goodenough;David x-mozilla-html:FALSE org:D.G.A. ltd adr:;; version:2.1 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] x-mozilla-cpt:;0 fn:David Goodenough end:vcard
Re: Oracle on Debian?
Stan, Awhile back (last november) I tried to install Oracle 8.1.6.2 on Debian 'potato' and it's true, it just won't work. Worst of it, you won't get any error messages. Oracle will link its binaries without a hitch, but whenever you'll try startup nomount it will just hang there. I don't know about the client-side of this, as I needed the server-side before being able to use the clients :) Sorry if this doesn't help much. I didn't investigate much as I was rushed and then built a RH 6.1 system to get the db up and running fast.

I also need to be able to run certain Oracle _client_ side apps (export for instance, and conneting to DB instnaces using Perl DBI). A few months ago I had built a machine for this using the STABLE distribution, and a version of Oracle (8i) From the CD that acompanies the book Oracle 8i for Linix Starter Kit. I would really like to use something a bit more current for the Linux side of things (Testing? Progeney? Xanim?) but it's muy understanding that this version of Oracle won't work with the new libraries provided by some distributions. Can anyone educate me on this? Is it posible to download a newer version of Oracle? If so from where, and what versions of Debian, or Debian derived distributions will it work with?

Re: Debian books

Is there such a book? Where are the books about Debian? I found dozens of up to date books for RedHat and just one out of date book for Debian (O'Reilly) in the 4 large bookstores that I visited. It's not that the Debian books were sold out, there just don't to be many published. There is stuff on the web. Download it and print it out. That is what I did. Specifically, there is Dwarf's Guide to Debian GNU/LInux (2001) by Dale Scheetz. This is quite nice, but spends a lot of time with installation stuff. It is available as a Debian package, dwarfs-debian-guide in unstable. Also, there is the Debian GNU/Linux Guide by John Goerzen and Ossama Othman. This is available as the Debian package debian-guide. As far as not specifically Debian oriented books go there is the Linux Rute Users Tutorial and Exposition by Paul Sheer. This one even has its own website, htp://rute.sourceforge.net. It is a pretty detailed piece of work. For bonafide printed books, there is of course the famous Running Linux, but I also like Mark Sobell's A Practical Guide to Linux (1997, but has been carefully written so as not to date easily), and Linux: Installation Configuration and Use by Michael Kofler (nice book, but published in 1999 so getting a little long in the tooth. Still useful, though). Faheem.
