Re: xfte. Castellano, tamaño de fuentes.
Lo del tema de las fuentes lo solucioné en hamm (yo quería una fuente más grande) modificando el ejecutable a pelo con el mc. Buscaba una cadena del estilo 8x13, creo y la cambié a 9x15. Esto me funcionó bien en hamm. Al pasar a slink ví que las fuentes ya eran más grandes y no lo toqué. Pero supongo que te podría funcionar este método cutre si quieres unas fuentes más pequeñas. Lo de los acentos curiosamente no me funcionan bien, pero si me conecto con un XWindow desde Microsoft (con el Exceed) y arranco el xfte, entonces sí me salen los acentos bien. No sé como solucionarlo. Saludos.

modem telefono
tengo un modem con voz, esta conectado al mismo telefono que el de casa, cuando llaman, al sonar el telefono se le enciende una luz (AA), ¿hay alguna forma de hacer que el ordenador sea como un telefono? es decir, que pueda contestar al telefono sin tener que levantarlo.
Mas sobre versiones del kernel
Salu2 Yo también tengo algunas dudas sobre las versiones del kernel y sus nombres. Hasrta hace unas semanas creía que SLINK era el kernel 2.2.x mientras HAMM era el kernel 2.0.x, pero al bajarme el último kernel estable del site DEBIAN y ejecutarlo me sale en los mensajes de inicialización que es el 2.0.38. Así que me voy al correspondiente directorio y me leo el README para ver si metí la pata al seleccionar el directorio ../stable y para mi sorprsa descubro que el KERNEL 2.0.38 es el SLINK; a partir de ese momento ya no entiendo nada. Y eso que no me he parado a ver qué kernel es el POTATO. Feliz navidad a to2

Re: Image formats
jpegs are usually the smallest, but the drawback is that the compression is lossy - the image you uncompress is not _exactly_ what you compressed. this isn't really a big deal for photos and such, so it's generally the best for photorealistic images gifs only support 256 colors, but the compression is lossless. thus they're used mostly for line-drawing type images. the major drawback is you have to listen to the flamewars about the licensing issues of the compression algorithm. oh yeah, they are the only format that can do animation. the newest format, png, is designed to do most everything (it will probably take over at somepoint). unfortunately browser support for them is currently spotty at best. i don't really use tiff much, but i've heard they're the format of choice for graphic designers and such who need large, high quality images matt On 23 Dec 1999, Arcady Genkin wrote: Looking for a comparison chart of different image formats, such as tiff, jpeg, etc. I wonder what format is it more appropriate to scan images into.

Workaround re: `ping', and name resolution in general, hangs
Back in October I posted a message (http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9910/msg00689.html) to the Debian user list in which I complained about `ping' hanging on recent kernels. I've since found a workaround, but I don't think I told any of you about it, so if you're interested, here it is. I have a DSL connection to my ISP, and I use a Cisco 675 router and a recent (2.2.12) kernel. I have a crackpot theory as to why this is happening, but that's not important. What's important is that I stumbled onto a workaround which might work for you if you're having the same trouble: insert the following lines into /etc/init.d/network, before the call to `ifconfig' that brings up your network card: # Work around a possible bug in the Cisco router if [ -f /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range ]; then echo 1025 4999 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range fi For a more detailed description of the problem, see the bug report that I (foolishly) filed against the GNU C library: http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=45912

.gnome-desktop has a link in it (Home Directory) that points to your home directory (in which is located .gnome-desktop in which there is a link to your home directory ad infinitum). that's why it recurses forever use tar instead to copy the directory because it will not follow links.

You could perhaps be a bit clearer about what you want - revert will undo all the changes you've made on a given screen, but I'm not sure that that's what you want. I don't think there's any kind of progressive undo. The debian group tries to remedy this by developing a new package, apt etc, which is not yet finished. For years on end we have to work now with the old interface. But I have never seen a clear, readable, understandable etc story about the use of these packages. I always found that dselect is pretty well documented by the help screens within it. The documentation is certainly terse, but it does seem to be complete. Perhaps the terseness can cause problems for some people, I don't know. Other than that, a lot of people seem to panic when confronted with a fairly bare text mode interface. Even if you made deselect more friendly, you probably wouldn't address the biggest problem we seem to have at the minute: the number of packages.

Re: questions about generic Ethernet drivers, DHCP

Running fetchmail from /etc/init.d/
I intend to run fetchmail from /etc/init.d/.
Just want to verify that I did not miss something important or do something
wrong:
1.
The script /etc/init.d/fetchmail is taken from /usr/share/doc/fetchamil/contrib
/debian_rc:
!/bin/sh
#
# To start fetchmail as a system service, copy this file to
# /etc/init.d/fetchmail and run update-rc.d fetchmail
# defaults. A fetchmailrc file containg hosts and
# passwords for all local users should be placed in /root
# and should contain a line of the form set daemon nnn.
#
# To remove the service, delete /etc/init.d/fetchmail and run
# update-rc.d fetchmail remove.
DAEMON=/usr/bin/fetchmail
set -e
test -f $DAEMON || exit 0
case $1 in
start)
echo -n Starting mail retrieval agent:
if start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON; then echo
fetchmail.
else echo fetchmail already running.; fi
;;
stop)
echo -n Stopping mail retrieval agent:
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec $DAEMON
echo fetchmail.
;;
force-reload|restart)
echo -n Restarting mail retrieval agent:
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec $DAEMON
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON
echo fetchmail.
;;
*)
echo Usage: /etc/init.d/fetchmail {start|stop|restart}
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
Since the local mail service is started with S20, is it wise to call
update-rc.d fetchmail
with priority 20? I mean, won't it cause unnecessary error messages at boot
because fetchmail might look for the mail service when it is not started yet?
Isn't
update-rc.d fetchmail defaults 95-start 05-stop
better?
2.
/root/.fetchmailrc will be:
# ~/.fetchmailrc
poll mail.israsrv.net.il protocol pop3
username shaulk, with password X, is shaul here;
set daemon 900
set syslog
Is it better to have the config file in /etc/fetchmailrc since /etc is the
usual dir for config files?
Suppose I'll write the config file in /etc/fetchmailrc. How do I tell
fetchmail to look it there? Will
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec $DAEMON -- -f /etc/fetchmailrc
work?
3.
Is it a good idea to ask the package maintainer to help running fetchmail in
this way by installing no-fetchmail-on-boot file and an rc script when
installing the package (like PPP does)?
Re: /dev/ttyS2 port not accessible
do you have a soundcard? many soundcards (esp soundblaster) use irq5, are you sure there are no conflicts with anything on that serial port? nate Yes I do, but sound support is not enabled and it worked under RH 5.2. The main problem is that it works under older kernel- now I'm trying to use kernel with different options disabled and we'll see what is the exact problem (First I though SCSI card, but it's not). B.

They have the internal logic gutted, replaced with a driver which is provided only by (for?) MS LOSE 9x and 2x. They offload the real work to the CPU.

Re: Strange Modules Error
Sounds like something is happening in the wrong order on bootup. Did this start after an upgrade? Sometimes, if you have custom edited files, this will happen, as the modified file will not be replaced. In such case, the new file should be there under an obviously modified name.

SoftOSS Kernel Module?
Here is the relevant section of /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/README.OSS: Does this mean I need to buy OSS/Linux? 4Front Technologies SoftOSS SoftOSS is a software based wave table emulation which works with any 16 bit stereo sound card. Due to its nature a fast CPU is required (P133 is minimum). Although SoftOSS does _not_ use MMX instructions it has proven out that recent processors (which appear to have MMX) perform significantly better with SoftOSS than earlier ones. For example a P166MMX beats a PPro200. SoftOSS should not be used on 486 or 386 machines. The amount of CPU load caused by SoftOSS can be controlled by selecting the CONFIG_SOFTOSS_RATE and CONFIG_SOFTOSS_VOICES parameters properly (they will be prompted by make config). It's recommended to set CONFIG_SOFTOSS_VOICES to 32. If you have a P166MMX or faster (PPro200 is not faster) you can set CONFIG_SOFTOSS_RATE to 44100 (kHz). However with slower systems it recommended to use sampling rates around 22050 or even 16000 kHz. Selecting too high values for these parameters may hang your system when playing MIDI files with hight degree of polyphony (number of concurrently playing notes). It's also possible to decrease CONFIG_SOFTOSS_VOICES. This makes it possible to use higher sampling rates. However using fewer voices decreases playback quality more than decreasing the sampling rate. SoftOSS keeps the samples loaded on the system's RAM so much RAM is required. SoftOSS should never be used on machines with less than 16 MB of RAM since this is potentially dangerous (you may accidently run out of memory which probably crashes the machine). SoftOSS implements the wave table API originally designed for GUS. For this reason all applications designed for GUS should work (at least after minor modifications). For example gmod/xgmod and playmidi -g are known to work. To work SoftOSS will require GUS compatible patch files to be installed on the system (in /dos/ultrasnd/midi). You can use the public domain MIDIA patchset available from several ftp sites. Which ftp sites? * IMPORTANT NOTICE! The original patch set distributed with the Gravis Ultrasound card is not in public domain (even though it's available from some FTP sites). You should contact Voice Crystal (www.voicecrystal.com) if you like to use these patches with SoftOSS included in OSS/Free. * TIA, John

At present, I have the following : /usr/sbin/lsof | grep LISTEN portmap 129 root 4u inet 35TCP *:sunrpc (LISTEN) lpd 142 root 4u inet 41TCP *:printer (LISTEN) inetd 147 root 4u inet 49TCP *:discard (LISTEN) inetd 147 root 6u inet 51TCP *:daytime (LISTEN) inetd 147 root8u inet 53TCP *:time (LISTEN) inetd 147 root 17u inet 62TCP *:auth (LISTEN) omniNames 149 root5u inet 64TCP *:8088 (LISTEN) omniNames 157 root5u inet 64TCP *:8088 (LISTEN) omniNames 158 root5u inet 64TCP *:8088 (LISTEN) omniNames 159 root5u inet 64TCP *:8088 (LISTEN) omniNames 160 root5u inet 64TCP *:8088 (LISTEN) xfs 161 root4u inet 68TCP *:7100 (LISTEN) XF86_SVGA 183 root0u inet 86TCP *:6000 (LISTEN) What is the purpose of omniNames ? Do I need it? Is it a security risk? I guess I do not need portmap. I do not use NFS. What is the best way to shut it off? I'd appreciate any general comments as well. Thanks, Howard Mann

Re: PPP connection
Sound like you need to set your DNS servers that it'll use to resolve things. Castille At 10:50 AM 12/24/99 -0800, Jacob Smith wrote: Hey Well I got my modem to connect to my ISP fine now. I accomplished this by commenting out the 'auth' line in the ect/ppp/options file as Hans had suggested a while back. However I cannot go to any website and I can not ping other systems and cannot ping my system from another box. The ISP I connect to runs Microsoft NT 4.0 w/ service pack 5. I am positive that all the standard setting are good becuase I work at the ISP. If anyone has any idea what this is caused by that would be great. I think that I am about 1 of a total of 5 linux user on the ISP and the only one running Debian so any help would be awesome.

fatal error with mouse when trying to start x
Hello, after I configured my x window , when I tried to start it it gave me an error about my mouse not being operation not supported but I'm pretty sure that it is a ps/2 mouse. When I checked the website of xfree86.org , it said something about that but it did give any help on how to fix the problem. I tried looking at the debian website for information about this problem but the search engine is down. any help would be greatly appreciated. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

For compatibility with the most pages Opera is just barely 2nd to IE and NS. Also in the development of the Linux version they developed a console version which can actually render pages with frames/tables intelligently. Something that Lynx, after years of development, *still* fails at. Is it distributed under a GPL? No. Considering how well it works on the Windows platform it was well worth the money. If the Linux team brings over all the best features and makes it native in the process, then it will be well worth the money on Linux as well. -- Steve C.

lyx: Can not use AMS math.
Package: lyx
Version: 1.1.2-2
Severity: normal
Although I have activated the radio button of AMS math at the Layout-Document
menu I can not been able to follow what the UserGuide.lyx suggets.
In particular, both \mathfrak{g} and \mathbb{R} give an error message.
\boldsymbol{\alpha}, which does not seem to require the AMS extentions is
working as expected.
Can you advise what is the problem?

Re: Bad points for debian (was: resetting dpkg)
I've got another question about dselect. It seems like when I go in there and choose some more packages to install, then tell it to install, it gives some kind of error about /cdrom being mounted. I have to exit dselect, umount /cdrom, then re-enter dselect, select install and off she goes... Is that expected? TIA Andy
Running FrameMaker on Debian 2.1
