I read somewhere that you need to add youself to the audio group(dip), but I don't have that group on my system. also the gnome cd player will also not run under my user log-in, I suspect that is because it doesn't have the right to mount the drive. So what do i need to do? I'm not worried about user security, because I will be the only one useing the laptop. Add yourself to the 'audio' group and then check permissions for /dev/dsp, /dev/audio and /dev/mixer. They should be already set, though. About the cdrom add yourself to the 'disk' group and to 'cdrom' group. That should be enought. Tip: make a link of your device to /dev/cdrom; it is easier to access to your cdrom later. But when in doubt, take a look at /etc/group; you will find a lot of preset groups that you can use then with your user. Usually all files that pertain to that group have proper permissions, so you won't need to do anything special. About the cdroms, they are in iso9660 format, so you can do: mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /cdrom to mount it (replace /dev/hdd and /cdrom with proper values). Optionally you can setup /etc/fstab with the following line: /dev/cdrom/cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 So you can issue mount /cdrom and it will be properly mounted. With the user option you tell that ANY user can mount it. Hope it helps. Bye!

Debian installation
Hi all, as I posted in another message, I'm going to buy a new hard drive and reinstall debian from scratch. The system I'm running now was installed from a slink cd and then updated to woody, but I don't like this. I'm planning to download the latest boot-disks (potato or woody?) and then install all needed things from internet and directly from woody. Do the new install disks contain apt so I can do this? Note that I never use tasks... when I install debian, I skip the task selection, and only install the required packages with dselect. Then, I add any package I want on the fly.

Filesystem layout and hi everybody
Hi all, first of all hello to everybody, because I've been off of this list for a very long time... Well, my question is about how should I organize my filesystem. I have now Debian woody in a 1'7 gb hard disk; all the entire disk is mounted on /, on a single partition. Now, I will buy a 20 gb hard disk. I can't imagine having the entire disk in one single filesystem... and I can't imagine a fsck on it... But in the other hand, I'm the only user of the computer. Well, I have think the following organization: / of 100 mb in a primary partition at the beginning of the disk, so lilo or grub can boot it. /usr of 3 gb (no comments... but should it be bigger?) /usr/local of 1,5 gb (to install quake data, staroffice, etc) /tmp of 150 mb /var 250 mb (/var/cache/apt/archives will go in another place, as explained below) /home of 1 gb (I'm the only user in the system) /misc in the rest of the disk. I pretent to put here several subdirectories, as music (my mp3 collection), photos (some photos I have), and a link to /var/cache/apt/archives. I also would like to store here several other files, like tar ones. And at last, I forgot it, a swap partition of 128 mb (I have 128 mb of ram currently). But where I should place it phisically on the disk ? All the other partitions, except / will be contained on extended ones. What do you think about this layout? Should I give more space to any of the partitions or make shrink them? Should I put any other directory in a partition? I want to get the most performance as I can organizing properly the partitions. I know the answer could differ A LOT from each person, but never mind. I just want oppinions. Thanks a lot! -- Juli-Manel Merino Vidal [EMAIL PROTECTED] Become a GNU!

Re: General kernel questions

For instance, during boot-up I get the PPP messages. But in make xconfig, PPP ability is turned off---the radio button selected is n, not y or m. In fact, I think all modules are turned off in make xconfig. How can this be? Why am I able to use PPP (via pon or wvdial) when the module isn't apparently there? However, during installation, I did select PPP as a module. I'm quite confused. Maybe you are not booting the proper kernel. Try to do the following: dmesg | grep PPP If it return something, you have ppp in the kernel. You are making something bad in the build/installation of the kernel. Do 'lsmod'. If you notice that ppp is there is a problem about modules. Check into /lib/modules/kernel version and delete the ppp.o. Perhaps you don't have enabled ppp as a module, but kmod or kerneld could be able to load any older module from there. Bye.

HELP, HELP, HELP!! (with mail)
Hi, first of all, don't reply to the list because I don't have this address subscribed... Please, reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED], that's the address I am able to read now :( Let me explain my mail layout: My smarthost is smtp.mail.yahoo.com, my username there is 'jmmv84', and my address there is [EMAIL PROTECTED]. My incoming mail server (pop3) is mail.fnmail.com and my address there is [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Also, I use mail.com to redirect my incoming mail to fnmail.com, so my address in mail.com is [EMAIL PROTECTED]; that is the address that I'm always using. YEAH, that's confusing :) Now, I'll explain my mail layout in linux: My username in linux is 'juli' (I don't want to create another user as jmmv84!) and I'm using fetchmail to retrive mail (that works fine). Also, I'm using sendmail to retrive the mail (I've also installed exim, but without luck). After somebody said me that was better using an smarthost I was sending mail directly, but now, I want to set up the smarthost. I've purged sendmail and installed it again to start with a 'clean setup'. I just accept all the default values, except I set up the smarthost to 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com'. After this changes I was using pine, but I've changed it to mutt (because it's free :). SO, big changes in the configuration and I'm getting crazy :! Now, the problems (explain me either exim or sendmail (the one you prefer), because I'll install that will allow me doing below things): - I have to masquerade all the address. The smarthost should know that I'm jmmv84 (not juli, and I don't want to create an account in linux for jmmv84) and the reply address must be [EMAIL PROTECTED] (I've already set up in mutt two header lines with From: and Reply-To: set properly). I don't know nothing about aliases, but I think that I need to use them... :( What do I have to do to be able to send mail ? - Local mail deliver works fine. But when I send a mail out of the box, sendmail returns me an error. I can't be identified by the smarthost... - I can't use my isp's pop3 and smtp servers because they are used by my father, so I had to search for free servers, that I have now. I'm thinking using the Yahoo's pop3 server instead of fnmail.com, but yahoo provides a limit about 3 mb's and I'm subscribed to several lists... - I'm using procmail fetchmail to retive the mail (not really a problem, just info). Setting up the mail with Messenger or Kmail is really easier that with sendmail, but I want to do the things properly and as best as possible. Also, I prefer console programs... mouse is too slow...

I also load the gen_util_applet and gmc the same way. Question 1) Very often when I load windowmaker it says there is already a panel running, and do I want to continue. I can see that there is already a panel. Saying no closes the existing panel. Saying yes adds another gen_util_applet to it. If I close the second panel, which has only the default buttons, both of the gen_util_applet's in my first panel close too. Do you use the Exit Session in WindowMaker ? That saves all running programs in a list, so panel will be started twice; one by WM and the other by your own line. Do a Clear Session from the menu; that should be enought. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it? I'd like the panel to open with the gen_util_applet, and one gnome-icu in it. Question 2) I've looked around for this before, but never found anything. I would like a way to set the omnipresent window attribute to false for gmc. Currently it defaults to true, and that is annoying. Right click on a window an select 'Attributes...'. That will let you into a menu to set up several options of a window. Turn off omnipresent. Question 3) I have manual placement of windows activated. Is it possible to have some apps (eterm, gmc...) to ignore that, or rather to have windowmaker ignore certain apps? My goal is to have an eterm and gmc autoopen when I startx, and not have to click the mouse to place them. I really don't know, but you can use the -geometry parameter and pass it to xterm / gmc to specify where do you like to be placed.

Modules
Hi all, this is not a question about debian, but... I've readed the Module Programming Guide in LDP but it doesn't explain how to create filesystem modules. Where can I read about it ? Thanks. Juli-Manel Merino Vidal [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://jmmv.cjb.net Running Debian/GNU Linux 2.2

offtopic: bttv
Hi all, I need help with bttv! This summer I was using Slink. At the beginning, when I 'insmod bttv card=6' linux crashed completly. Then, at the end of the summer, insmod worked fine and I was able to see the TV. I don't know what was happening. Now, I've removed debian completly, and installed potato. I've compiled kernel 2.2.12 (I was using 2.2.4) and insmod fails again. The videodev is compiled into the kernel and bttv, i2c, tuner and msp3400 are modules. I can install all of them except bttv. I don't know what's happening, but I need HELP!. Oh, I have an AverMedia TV Phone kit (with tuner, type 1) Sound Blaster 16.

Así, el cdrom trabajará solo y windows/linux podrán trabajar más rápido al acceder al cd. Cuando arranca el PC, pone el LILO boot: y el arranque de linux funciona perfectamente, pero si intento arrancar Windows me pone: Loading win LILO y se queda ahi, con lo cual no consigo que me arranque Windows, ya se que en cierto modo es una ventaja :-)) pero me gustaria poder decidirlo yo ;-) Bueno, para mas ayuda os paso mi fichero lilo.conf : boot=/dev/hda (tambien he probado poniendo hdc) Si pones hdc, la bios no podrá arrancar desde ese disco... root=/dev/hdc (tambien he probado hda, fue todavia peor) Este parámetro solo interviene en la carga de linux install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map prompt vga=normal delay=200 En vez de delay... ponle un timeout ya que tienes el prompt activado. other=/dev/hda1 label=win table=/dev/hda (tambien he probado hdc) hda es correcto. image=/vmlinuz label=linux read-only El lilo.conf está correctamente. Pero tal vez el error venga de tus pruebas. Posiblemente hayas probado en poner 'boot=/dev/hda1'. Entonces, el sector de arranque de la partición de windows contiene LILO y no el código necesario para arrancar Windows. Si es esto, no te preocupes. A mi me sucedió lo mismo. Házte con un disco de arranque del DOS/Windows con el comando sys.com, arranca desde el y dále a sys c:. Esto deberia reconstruir el sector de arranque. Si no lo consigues, envíame un mensaje. Salu2.

Aquí lo siento, pero no te puedo ayudar. Nunca he imprimido desde linux :( En cuanto a mi tarjeta de sonido, he compilado el kernel unas 10 ó 12 veces y nada de nada, seguro que lo hago mal. No hay una versión compilada del OSS para Debian? He leído algo sobre el pci/pnp, pero no me entero. Para tener soporte de la sound blaster, vete al apartado de sonido de la configuración del kernel y selecciona las siguientes opciones como módulos: Sound card support OSS sound modules 100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support Generic OPL2/OPL3 FM synthesizer support FM synthesizer (YM3812/OPL-3) support Loopback MIDI device support Recompila el núcleo como de costumbre (¡Acuérdate de los módulos!). Ahora, vete al /etc/modutils/modconf y añade la siguiente linea (de acuerdo con tu tarjeta): options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu=330 Ejecuta update-modules para actualizar el /etc/conf.modules y listo. Ahora, puedes añadir en /etc/modules una linea con 'sb' para que carge el módulo de la sound blaster en el arranque y ya lo tienes. Espero que te sirva de ayuda, Un saludo.
