Help nice'ing the screensaver
Hi, I share my home computer with my wife, and what I did was have gdm (Gnome's xdm replacement) spawn 2 X sessions, one that can be found at Ctrl-Alt-F7 (which I use) and the other at Ctrl-Alt-F8 (which my wife uses). I've been using this forever (without gdm, in the past), and it's a winner -- none of us disturb the other's work... The problem I'm facing is about the screensaver. When I'm using my X session, and my wife's screensaver kicks in, it hogs my CPU (not to speak about the memory)... Is there any way to either nice the screensaver (which I think it should be by default) and/or make it suspend itself when that particular X session is not the current one (which I also feel could be at least an option -- that would be even better, as the screensaver would be thrown to disk swap...)?

problems with masquerading default rules

ipautofw not working
Hi, I've been trying to use ipautofw in my debian box, but I've been having trouble with that. I issue any ipautofw command and I get the message: setsockopt: Protocol not available I started with the 2.0.36 kernel at potato (most of my system is potato). As I searched the news, people said this message would come from a system with no ipautofw compiled in the kernel. Then I decided to install kernel-source-2.2.9, configure it and install it. Even though I enabled the ipautofw in the kernel (with all the other ip forward stuff), I still get that same message. To make it clear, I can use ipfwadm ok, but I can't use ipautofw. Any clue?

ICQ programs for Debian GNU/Linux
Hi, I'd like to know what are the good packages for ICQ people use in Debian. I've been using gtkicq for some time, and though I think it is a nice package, I'm not sure as to how reliable it is... looks like I never get to receive some messages while using it... More than that, it looks like gtkicq is no longer in potato (why?), and I can't upgrade some of my gnome slink stuff to potato, because this would remove my gtkicq. Any comments?

Multiple gnome-panels are started by gnome-session and other problems
Hi, I've been playing with gnome stuff in my debian box. I upgraded it to potato, to have to most recent things, as the ones in slink don't work very well. Well, it looks like every time I exit gnome (log out), the session records the very gnome-panel as an application to be started when the gnome-session begins, so the second time I log in, there will be 2 panels, the third time three panels etc. Worse, I can't close any of those panels... Another problem is that if I choose the lockscreen from the panel, a screensaver is started, but it's not password protected. Any clues? -- Luiz Otavio L. ZorzellaComputer Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED]

new xbase -- no window manager started
Hi, as I use to keep my system up-to-date, I upgraded yesterday my xbase (along with libc6 and other things) to the new hamm/frozen versions, and suddenly my afterstep is not automatically loaded anymore with startx. I have to type afterstep in the terminal opened, instead. I'm not sure this is quite the problem, but I took a look at startx, and it looks for a xinitrc at: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc but this file does not exist. I also checked the previous version, and I think that the former xinitrc (i.e. the xinitrc at the previous xbase) was supposed to be at /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, and it is also not there (anymore?). My windos-managers file seem to be ok: nr# cat /etc/X11/window-managers /usr/bin/X11/afterstep /usr/bin/X11/mwm /usr/X11R6/bin/mwm nr# type afterstep afterstep is /usr/bin/X11/afterstep and afterstep loads correctly if I call it from the terminal, as I said.

mail corrupts uuencoded file
Hi, I use to: cat filename | uuencode filename | mail -s filename somebody To transfer files. But I had problems transmiting a large one (almost 4 Mb) that I tried several times. I decided to take a look, and generated a uuencode, and then mailed this uuencode to myself (local machine), and compared the two of them.

Is there anything you think I should Luiz suggest to fix the problem in a clean way (all the dists, Luiz including Debian)? Yes. Tell them not to use grep. There are ways to include a linux header to tell what kernel version is being used (if they do not know what I mean, tell them to look at the sources of modules in the kernel to determine how to do that). At run time, they can call uname. Using grep and trying to second guess the installation about whivh headers were used is evil, and shoddy software practice. Forgive my dumbness... I've been thinking exactly what are the implications of what your're saying. Please correct me if I'm wrong: 1) sndshield, at *compilation time*, greps autoconf.h to guess which kernel version is being used. In my case, since it did not find any at /usr/src/linux/include, it found one at /usr/include, which was a symlink to 2.0.32 headers. This way it thought it was being compiled in a 2.0.32 system. 2) sndshield, at *run time*, does a uname -a (or something) to find which kernel version is being run. In my case it found 2.0.33, and threw a mismatch. 3) Most important: are you saying that even compiled against 2.0.32 headers, since it was compiled under 2.0.33 it was supposed to run without any problem? Question 3 is crutial for what I'm gonna suggest to OSS people. Before you wrote me, I was thinking of suggesting them to -I /usr/src/kernel-headers-`uname -r` in a debian system...

Things that make me particularly suspicious in this case are: - when one of these things happen in a linux community, everybody gets to know about it. And so many people are involved in the dosemu project that it's hard to beleive this would be concealed for so long (look at the version of DosEmu he uses: it's old...). - in his dosemu.conf it is said bootA ! - he never bothered translating the page - windows, AFAIK, needs ring 0, and dosemu does not do ring 0. Period. Well, anyway I hope someone implements a ring 0 emulation inside dosemu. Shouldn't be that hard: whenever the program asks to go to ring 0, DosEmu would intervent (which he already does), and enter in an emulater mode - sort of a JIT compiler, much like what java JIT compilers do. When the programs gets out of ring 0, dosemu would go back to normal. And, of course: if you get to run Windows 95 inside dosemu, tell to the world!

Don't worry, it's easy. The file comes full of comments that will help you edit it. The most important lines are the EMS, XMS and DPMI memories. Be sure to put 64Mb in each of them! Important: Issue a umount in all the DOS partitions where you gave access at dosemu.conf. Make a 200 Mb swap space. I meant it! 200 Mb! How? You don't need to use fdisk. Use the commands: dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/swap1 bs=1024 count=10 mkswap /root/swap1 swapon /root/swap1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/swap2 bs=1024 count=10 mkswap /root/swap2 swapon /root/swap2 Where /root/swap1 and /root/swap2 may be any file name, anywhere in your file system, where you have 200 Mb of free space. To know the free space, use the command df. Now, exit X-Windows, type dos... and wait! If everything is right at dosemu.conf Windows 95 will init. That's all! 7. Little problems under DosEmu 1. It is impossible to format a disk inside dosemu (since it does not implement the function int13, that both DOS and Windows use to format disks). 2. cdrom does not work 3.

how to find an (not so) old package
Well, I tried to upgrade web/w3-el to version pre 4, using dftp. But after he put some of the files in the system, he told me I could not use it unless I had emacs 20, which conflicts with emacs 19. AFAIK, vm does not work with emacs 20, so I can't upgrade (I use vm quite a lot). Resume: my old w3-el does not work, because some of the files were overwriten by the new w3-el, which does not work in emacs 19, which I cannot upgrade to emacs 20 because vm does not work in emacs 20. I also cannot seem to find the old w3-el package (which would allow me to downgrade w3-el). Can someone help me? Thanks PS: I never really knew why debian does not make things so that different versions of the programs can co-exist in a system. In my university, our (very good and famous) admin would leave SEVERAL versions of each program in the system, so that, if you did not specify anything, you would use the default, else you could choose whatever you needed... -- Luiz Otavio L.

You say you have a single partition, but it's possible you're forgetting a swap partition. If you do have a (large-enough) swap partition, then you can install Linux to it and run defrag from there. Wouldn't it work to start the system in single user mode (which makes / read-only mounted)? Can defrag run in a read-only mounted partition?

dosemu and graphics

help me understand timezones
Hi, I had several problems with timezones, and for many weeks my clock was wrong because of daylight savings (even though it said it changed the clock at that time, looks like it lost this information at the first boot), and I had no time to dig into this, untill finally I just changed the BIOS clock by hand... But I wanted to understand how does the timezones work, and I went to /usr/doc/timezones, and found the glibc docs, instead of timezone's! Well, in my system: $ date Tue Feb 17 14:09:22 PST 1998 $ date -R Tue, 17 Feb 1998 14:14:47 -0800 nr# dpkg -l timezone ic timezone7.55-2 Data files needed to set your local time My questions are: 1) Is this correct for CA (-0800, at daylight savings period)? 1) At the daylight savings dates, is timezone supposed to change the BIOS clock, or should it leave the BIOS clock unchanged, and transform BIOS time in PST time? Will it change automatically now, when the daylight period ends? 2) Is it better/worse/possible to have the BIOS clock set to GMT, and let timezone transforms it? In this case, how one can see the BIOS clock time? 3) should I upgrade timezone? Feel free to add more comments I did not ask about, that you might feel relevant. Thanks. -- Luiz Otavio L.
