helix gnome WindowMaker

2000-10-20 Thread stefan goeman
Hello,

After an upgrade (and a reboot) I have problems running WindowMaker under Helix 
Gnome.
Gnome complains saying running a non gnome compliant windowmanger and 
WindowMaker does not start and I can't use Gnome either. I have to delete my 
.gnome directory so that the sawfish windowmanager is being used.

Anybody else noticed this problem?

Greetings,

Stefan Goeman

Re: rlogin and rsh for potato?

2000-10-20 Thread stefan goeman
Hello,

On the remote machine, you have to put an entry in the /etc/hosts.equiv file 
containing the name of your machine (locale !) and your user name. Then you 
should be able to use rlogin and rsh. There is an rsh client and server package 
in potato, although ssh is prefered.

Greetings,

Stefan Goeman

 I just installed potato (2.2) on a new server and tried unsuccessfully to set
 up a daily rdist to it from an old machine running bo (2.0).  After rdist
 failed, I discovered that rsh, which rdist uses by default, (and rlogin) are
 seriously disabled under potato.  I guess it's a security feature. Not only 
 are
 the services disabled in /etc/inetd.conf but the executables /usr/sbin/in.rsh
 and /usr/bin/in.rlogin don't exist. A search of the available packages with
 dselect did not turn up anything I could recognize.
 
 One option would be to run rdist with ssh, but I also can't find an ssh in the
 bo archive. For that matter, does potato support rsh?
 
 Any advice would be much appreciated.

time

2000-10-19 Thread stefan goeman
Hello,

I want to use the time command. From the man page I see that there is an option
+-o (or --output=FILE). However, when I try this, it does not work. In fact, I
+have the impression that only the -p option is really working. Is this a bug 
or+simply some options that are documented but not implemented yet?

I would like to use the time command and send its statistics to some file.

 'time' also happens to be a bash reserved word, with fewer options: see
 'help time' and the Pipelines section in 'man bash'. If you want to
 use the standalone version described in the man page, invoke it as
 '/usr/bin/time'.
 
 (It took me to grab the source for the package, compile it, and wonder
 why the freshly compiled binary was working differently to the one I got
 by default before I worked out what the problem was, though ...)

blocks on floppy disk

2000-10-16 Thread stefan goeman
Hello,

I have a small (probably) stupid question.

Normally, a floppy disk contains 1440 1k blocks. Well, this is what they 
always told me.

When I mount an msdos floppy and I do df -k, I see that the number of blocks 
are 1423. I simple wonder where the other 17 are??

By the way, when I create an ext2 floppy, I only see 1412 1k blocks, where are 
the other 28 blocks?

Stefan Goeman.

telnet and ftp

Hello,

For some testing I want to setup a telnet and/or an ftp connection to a remote 
machine (I also have physical access to the remote machine).
Is it possible to setup such connection WITHOUT providing any username and 
password.

(Basically I want to setup an unknown number of telnet and/or ftp session to a 
machine and see when it drops out. I want to put this in some script)

 I had Debian Linux up an running just fine - until I removed the serial
 mouse and replaced it with a PS/2 mouse.  Actually, I was playing with the
 modem COM and IRQ settings too.
 
 Now, the PS/2 mouse works fine when I boot into WIN98, but freezes when I
 boot into the Linux x-window (Using GNOME).  The modem dials out OK from
 linux but when I switch back to the x-window session, it freezes up and
 there is no mouse recognized.  It there a trick to setting up a PS/2 mouse
 after I originally had the serial mouse configured?

(1) xdvi (2) ATI Rage Fury Pro 128 Xfree86-v4.0.1

2000-10-06 Thread stefan goeman
Hello,


I have an ATI Rage Fury Pro 128 graphics card. It seems that it is almost 
impossible to get this working with XFree86-v3.3.6, therefore I installed 
XFree86-v.4.0.1. Now my X environement seems to work well. By the way, more 
info about installing X with ATI card can be found at
http://www4.ncsu.edu/~distclai/rage128-howto.html

I had one small problem. When I rebooted, the PC hang when initializing XFS. So 
far I have not found the reasom why and I just had to remove S30xfs from 
/etc/rc2.d and /etc/rc3.d disabeling XFS. 

I had the impression that everything worked well until I started xdvi. The 
buttons (like Quit, Abort, Again, ...) are not present. I have no idea why and 
what I can do about this.

Anybody any ideas??


P.S.: I already posted this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, sorry for 
cross-posting this message.

ATI Rage Fury Pro 128

Anybody any idea how I should install this card under XFree86-3.3.6?

Or should I try to install XFree86-4.0.1?
If so, can I find some debian packages somewhere?

But when I then turn of the Power my PC restart after one or two seconds.

eps to pdf

2000-09-12 Thread stefan goeman
Hello,

I have a postscript figure made with gnuplot. Actually, this is a .eps 
file since I have chosen
the option set terminal postscript eps enhanced in gnuplot to create 
the figure.

I want to convert this figure to a pdf figure. 
1) However, when I do this with ps2pdf (or convert ...), I get a pdf 
figure on a complere A4 page. So,
the bounding box information is not preserved.
2) When I do convert -verbose fig.eps fig.epdf, the bounding box 
information seems to be preserved but 
something is happening with my lettertypes. They seem to get fuzzy (I 
have the impression that they
are being converted to bitmap lettertypes). Important: this does not 
happer in case 1.

Anybody any ideas to get this OK, i.e. a pdf figure with a good bounding 
box and good lettertypes !!

information seems to be preserved but something is happening with my 
lettertypes. They seem to get fuzzy (I get the impression that they are 
being converted to bitmap lettertypes). This does not happen in 1) .

Anybody any ideas to get this good, i.e. a pdf figure with the correct 
bounding box and good readable lettertypes !!??

Helix Gnome

2000-09-01 Thread stefan goeman
Hello,

I know that there is something around like Helix Gnome.

Why should I consider using this instead of the normal Gnome packed with 
Debian?

  The GNOME included in Debian Potato is not being upgraded now, and since
  the freeze on Potato a lot has happened on that front.
  
  Helix GNOME is the bleeding, but stable, edge of GNOME.
  
  I've run Helix for Woody on Potato for some months witout any problems
  whatsoever (except for those of my own making!). It's very stable and I
  like it a lot, much better than the one in Debian Potato.
  
  Just put this line in your /etc/apt/sources.list:
  
  deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian\
  unstable main
  
  And use apt-get, dselect etc.

balse

2000-09-01 Thread stefan goeman
Hello,

I am using balsa (on potato) to read my mail. But this is in fact an old 
version (0.60...) and there seems
to be some bugs in it. 
The latest version is 0.9.3. I have downloaded this one and tried to 
install it but for some reason it doesn't
work. Is there a problem with dependencies??

Stefan.

repartitioning hard disk

2000-08-31 Thread stefan goeman
Hello,

I want to install linux on my PC at home. Now, I run Win98 2nd Ed. on a 
FAT32 filesystem. 
I only have one big partion (i.e. the C drive). I want to create more 
partitions in a safe manner and
I am not sure how to do this.

I also don't want to buy Partition Magic so I was thinking of using the 
fips tool (anybody tried this?).
I have some small questions.

1) First I should defragment the C-drive (under Win98) to get everything 
in the beginning of the disk.
I have read something about files that can not be removed. How do I find 
out that I do not have such files
at the end of the disk and what can I do about it?

2) I plan to cut the drive in 2 parts with fips. The filesystem on the 
second partition is also FAT32 or will
it be FAT16? Can I simply use fdisk (from linux) to change this fs to 
ext2 and then create more linux partitions 
from this drive? 

3) Now my drive letters are 
   C: hard disk
   D: CD-ROM
   E: zip-drive
 If I reboot and Win98 starts (I hope) what will happen with these drive 
letters? (P.S.: I have not changed 
the 2nd partition to ext2)
 


Greetings,

Stefan.
