Re: imprimir mediante samba
gracias por la respuesta Enzo :) instale lprng de sid y probe una configuracion similar a la tuya, pero no me pasaba los jobs de una cola a la otra... para que lo hiciera he tenido que cambiar :bq=laotracola por :[EMAIL PROTECTED]:lpd_bounce de hecho, no he encontrado el parametro bq en la documentacion de lprng :? el problema es que no ejecuta el filtro de la primera cola (ni magicfilter ni cualquiera que le ponga en el if), simplemente lo rebota a la otra cola que tiene el filtro smbprint, y esta ultima saca el trabajo por la impresora remota, pero sin haber sido tratado :( he probado parando la impresion de la primera cola, enviando un pdf desde gv, se queda en esta cola sin filtrar, lo trato yo a mano con gs, arranco la impresion en esta cola, y lo envia a la otra y sale esta vez perfectamente formateado por la impresora remota, por lo que es problema unicamente de que no se ejecuta el parametro :if= de la primera cola alguna pista¿? gracias El problema de usar smbprint es que no puedes usar otro filtro (el que necesitaría el magicfilter). Lo puedes arreglar con las bounce queues que están soportadas por el lprng. La idea es que configuras tu impresora en una cola con el filtro de magicfilter y haces rebotar el job para que vaya a parar a otra cola, la que tiene el smbprint.

Re: No me arranca con ATA100
Hombre! Los parámetros los debes sacar de tu /proc/pci!!! Yo puse esos porque son los que vi en mi /proc/pci, pero seguramente son distintos a los tuyos...

Re: Debian Hamm y cliente DHCP
Yo en Hamm con una línea ADSL no conseguí hacer funcionar el dhcp de ninguna de las maneras. Al final lo solucioné porque la me dí cuenta que la dirección ip que asignaba a un PC Windows era siempre la misma y se la puse fija. Pero con ONO no sé si esto valdrá. Aunque muchos asignadores de direcciones ip asignan la misma por un tiempo en base a la dirección ethernet de la tarjeta. Sin embargo con una distribución de doslinux con un núcleo igual al que usaba en la distribución hamm, sí me funcionaba correctamente el dhcp. En potato ya no he hecho más investigaciones, pero alguien de la lista nos podría comentar si el dhcp funciona bien en potato y lo están usando. Saludos

pkg mime-support (+ BTS)
Hola. He apreciado inconsistencias en el paquete mime-support que no sé si considerar bugs o qué. En primer lugar, man mutt hace referencia a mailcap(5), que no existe en mi potato. dpkg -S mailcap hace a mime-support responsable de /etc/mailcap, que supongo que debería ser el responsable de mailcap(5) si es que hubiese de existir. ¿Falla mutt(1) en su referencia a mailcap(5) o mime-support al no incluirla? Por otra parte, a punto he estado de no encontrar la documentación de mime-support (donde sí viene un buen documento sobre mailcap), porque /usr/share/doc/mime-support/ no existe; solo por casualidad he mirado en /usr/doc, acostumbrado como estoy a la debian policy en este sentido. Supongo que esto sí que es un error reportable. Mi duda sobre BTS es: Si no me aparece nada sobre esto en http://bugs.debian.org/mime-support ¿puedo confiar en que el error no ha sido reportado? La verdad es que habiendo oído la gran cantidad de bugs pendientes, no me gustaría colaborar con reportes innecesarios. Otra duda respecto a esto es que puede que el mantenedor ya haya corregido el error en versiones correspondientes a testing o unstable. ¿Es habitual comprobar esto antes de enviar el comunicado o esas correcciones pasan a proposed-updates? En fin, otras veces, he sugerido el error para que alguien más enterado decidiera sobre todo esto, pero no vamos a estar siempre igual. Saludos. -- He pedido drivers para Linux.

Re: multi os boot and sys commander
Oh yes I did experience that often. When you use Partition Magic to resize a linux partition (or move it), it looks like LILO get broken in the process. To restore LILO, simply boot with your debian cd, choosing the normal kernel. When you are in the installation, select a free virtual console and press enter, it will activate it. You must now mount your main linux partition with the regular command: mount /dev/___ /mnt (you replace the ___ with your config) then you simply enter: chroot /mnt then you type lilo tada! Lilo is back into business. Not that hard, wasn't it? Hope this helps!

Re: About Debian documentation
To quote Dr. Aldo Medina [EMAIL PROTECTED], # For example, Why are so many packages from older version of programs. # For example X-chat, wwwoffle ,ncftp and even XFree's packages are from # very old versions of the actual programs. # I believe dpkg is the absolute best in terms of packaging system (I come # from RedHat's rpm). That's why I think twice to install a new non-deb # version of some program, even when I need some of the new features (like # XFree 4). So what do you recommend? Debian is split up into three distributions: Potato/stable, Woody/testing, Sid/unstable. Potato is the stable distribution, and is generally meant for servers. When you install Potato, you can be sure that nothing will be changed out from underneath you. You can run 'apt-get update apt-get upgrade' without worry. Woody/testing and Sid/unstable are generally what people run on their desktops. Woody is safer than Sid, in that new/updated packages are uploaded to the Sid repositories before they're automatically added to Woody(a few conditions have to be met; the package in Sid can't have been updated for at least two weeks, the package in Sid has to have a lesser or equal number of bugs, and a few other things). Woody is actually fairly up-to-date. glibc 2.2, GNOME 1.2, KDE2, lots of goodies. XFree86 4.0.x hasn't made it in, and the Linux kernel 2.4.0 hasn't been packaged yet. Sid has XFree86 4.0.2, but the kernel is still 2.2.x. However, you can upgrade to 2.4.0 easily(if you run Sid). So, if you want more recent packages, you should change all references to stable or potato in your /etc/apt/sources.list to either testing or unstable. You can also add a deb-src line in your /etc/apt/sources.list pointing to unstable. Then, whenever you 'apt-get source package', you'll be getting the unstable version of that package. You can then use 'dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b' (as root, in the directory(ies) created by the 'apt-get source') to get binary .debs for your system.

3c509 with 2.4.0 kernel and sid
Hello all, I have a dual NIC system using two 3c509 cards. This configuration has been working well under sid with a 2.2.18 kernel (my current system). I have been trying to move up to a 2.4.0 kernel and I am having problems. My problem is when booting with the 2.4.0 kernel, both NIC cards have the wrong media port enabled. The boot message is saying something like Coax port instead of 10baseT port. This is the lilo.conf append line I use to get both cards working for the 2.2.18 kernel. append=ether=10,0x300,eth0 ether=11,0x310,eth1 When I remark out this append line, run lilo, and boot the 2.4.0 kernel, eth0 gets configed correctly with the 10baseT port enabled, but eth1 is not found. Some of the things I have tried- RTFM docs under /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking searching the debian user list archives searching www.kernel.org documentation other various FAQs on the web Possible problems as a guess- 1) I am missing a new append ether='parameter' 2) There is a better way to use the ether= line 3) 2.4.0 kernel has a bug in the 3c509 driver (?) More info- I have PnP turned off in both the BIOS and on both NICs. Thanks for any and all suggestions. -- Bill C.R.E.A.M. Dark Angel

If you want to take advantage of some high-resolution text mode your card's BIOS offers, but the traditional Linux utilities like SVGATextMode don't, you can say Y here and set the mode using the vga= option from your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) or set vga=ask which brings up a video mode menu on kernel startup.

If it only deletes the first line, the other lines don't match the given pattern. sed operates on each line in turn. Your pattern will remove SCRIPTanythingSCRIPT from any individual line. It won't work with multilines; since you don't show the data you're operating on, I can't be precise.

Re: raid problems
Solved the problem myself. And found a alternative way to set up raid. I have to identical disk hda, hdc. 1) Install debian on hda. hda1/boot hda2/ hda3Swap 2) config raidtab with hdc af failed. md0 for boot md1 for root 3) config fstab and lilo.conf md0 for boot md1 for root 4) clone the disk dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc This take some time. 5) start raid raidstart /dev/md0 raidstart /dev/md1 6) write new superblock mke2fs -S /dev/md0 mke2fs -S /dev/md1 7) change /boot to md0 umount /boot mount /dev/md0 /boot 8) run lilo lilo 9) reboot and test reboot (when up again) df this should give /dev/md1/ /dev/md0/boot 10) hotadd some disk remove failed-disk from /etc/raidtab then raidhotadd /dev/md0 /dev/hdc1 raidhotadd /dev/md1 /dev/hdc2 This works for me.

Re: change IRQ
Hi! I have this card and I chose the IRQ from the PnP menu in my BIOS. Linux can't soft-modify IRQs, AFAIK. Go to the BIOS Setup and then to the PnP menu. (If your BIOS isn't too old, there is one :) somewhere there is an listing of the devices. Check out the one that says Multimedia Device or something similar. You should also have Display Controller, Network Controller, etc (names might change, but the function is the same). For each device there is setting for IRQ that was on auto and that you can change to whatever you want. Also remember to switch the PnP OS enabled OFF so that the BIOS _does_ configure the PCI devices. If you leave it on, it won't configure anything except keyboard, video and hard drive (I think).

Debian - Testing network (FS105/FA311/10T-2)? CMD/SiS IDE?
I'm convinced there's something fishy going on with either my Windows98 machine, or some of the network components I'm using.. My network consists of: -Compaq 575e Pentium 75 w/ Win95 + 10Base2/T card -PPro 200 w/ Win98SE + 10/100BaseT FA311 card -P133 w/ Debian Linux 2.2.17 (Testing) + 10/100 RTL8139B -NetGear FS105 5 port 10/100 switched hub I seem to experience problems maintaining speed. All systems correctly acquire details via DHCP from Debian box (10.0.0.0/8 net).. However, frequently after a connection is started, Win98 box will slow to a crawl on network access and/or time out. SSH seems unaffected, other protocols (SMB, HTTP, POP3) are affected. Noticed this tonight, rebooted windows98 box.. All seems fine now.. How can I test each component within my network thoroughly? Ie. Cabling, switch, RTL8139, FA311 + old 10T/2 card I suspected cable from switch to 98 machine.. now I suspect 98 machine, but wish to eliminate network components from equation. I've posted messages about this before, but up until this point suspected Debian box until I noticed problems connecting to Win95 box from Win98 box... Also - anyone have dummy-proof instructions on compiling and installing modules for FA311 network adaptor? I've had no luck trying manufacturer (FA311.c) or scyld.com (natsemi.c) drivers. Do I need to compile a custom kernel with some of the symbols options etc. turned on? Would like to get RTL8139 out of network, or at least out of Debian box into Compaq and 10T/2 card out of Compaq. Also have a second Compaq 575e - would like to configure this for Debian Linux, but Debian seemed to choke on onboard CMD IDE controller after setup completed - I hear that these (CMD IDE) are horrid things for Linux - any ideas? Have SiS IDE controller in my current Debian box - it says something about bus-mastering disabled in bios, running in a more basic mode. Leave it be? Try to enable it? I can't see any option in the bios that would affect this unless bios is hard coded to disable it. ADFH

Re: change IRQ
does anyone know how can i change irq number for a soundblaster Live 1024 soundcard that uses the Alsa emu10k1 driver ? On booting it set IRQ 10 that it's shared with my ethernet card. In modules.conf i set options snd_irq=5; but if i do a cat /proc/interrupts i see IRQ 10 or so it seem. That entry in /etc/modules.conf only tells the kernel *where* to look. It doesn't use that to assign the IRQ. It's also likely that your BIOS is set up for a PnP Operating System (i.e. Win9x). It's letting your sound card and NIC share IRQs and letting your OS sort it out. In the case of Linux, it can't do that without help. The simplest thing to do is turn off that BIOS option, if it exists. Regards Hall

Re: change IRQ
Hi, if you really need to change pci irq's (for example in combination with isa cards), you can try to put the (pci)cards in a different order in your pci slots. You can also look in the bios and try to change irq-channels. (I belive it was IRQ #A and IRQ #B or something). A little of what I know about pci and irq's: there are a couple of irq lines, each line connected to two(?) pci slots. So putting the card in a different slot might change the irq. Also the combination of the cards may have influence on the bios' irq settings.

Open ports security
Greetings, A quick question, if you please. I am trying to tighten up security on a box that may be exposed to some security risk. In doing so, I have been trying to get rid of anything that might prove detrimental to security (ftpd, telnetd, and other things). I have been running nmap against my machine, and I've come down to just a few open ports left that I have at least mild concern about. They are: 9 discard 13 daytime 37 time 111 sunrpc Now, I know that 9 will just throw away anything it gets, and that 13 and 37 just return the time (in one form or other), so I am only trivially concerned about them. But what about 111? Something in my gut says that remote procedure call can't be all that good. Any information would be greatly appreciated. TIA Brooks

files, in my case). Usage is simply
doall.pl sed -e 'your regex here' *.html
--- begin script ---
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $cmd = shift;
while (my $filename = shift) {
# Perform operation to new file. Exit on error.
# TODO: On error, report command that caused problem and the resulting
#error message before dying.
if (`$cmd $filename 21 $filename.new`) { die };
# If the output is different than the input, replace the old version with
# the new one. If nothing was changed, discared the new version and leave
# the old one untouched.
if (`diff $filename.new $filename`) {
rename $filename.new, $filename;
} else {
unlink $filename.new;
}
}
--- end script ---

can't access cd-rw after switch to ide-scsi
I'm having an access permission problem with my cd-rw drive. I switched it to ide-scsi (added hdc=ide-scsi to boot parameters) and now I can write to the drive with cdrecord, but only as root. Similarly, I can only rip tracks from the drive as root. I can mount data cd's and read them as a regular user (configured user in fstab). Before I switched to ide-scsi, I could rip cd's just fine as a regular user with group cdrom premissions. /dev/scd0 has read/write permissions for group cdrom, but still I can only use grip, cdrecord as root. Anyone know how to fix this? Thnx. Cheers, Tim P.S. Hmmm... just noticed that all /dev/sg* devices have only root permissions... should I chgrp them to disk and add group rw permissions? Create a scsi group? T. -- Timothy H. Keitt Department of Ecology and Evolution State University of New York at Stony Brook Phone: 631-632-1101, FAX: 631-632-7626 http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/ee/keitt/

Differences between woody and sid
Hi, has woody shrinked in the last two weeks? When I search for example for the task-kde-packages they aren't availible any more (two weeks ago they were still there). Or is there something wrong with my apt-get? MfG, Florian.

machine, and I've come down to just a few open ports left that I have at

37 just return the time (in one form or other), so I am only trivially
concerned about them. But what about 111? Something in my gut says that
remote procedure call can't be all that good.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Port 111 is the portmap daemon, used by NFS and NIS (anything else?).
It doesn't look like you're using NFS or NIS (if so you'd have other
ports open) so you can probably shut it off. If you do want to keep it
on, it might be worth it to use something like ipchains or iptables to
filter access from the internet. You can also use /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}
to restrict access to the portmap daemon.
Also, I know of no services that use discard, time, or daytime, so
there's no reason for them to be on. Of course, there's no *known*
reason to turn them off, either, but...
noah

kernel 2.4 woes
Dear All, Having successfully compiled 2.4 for my desktop PC (a Compaq Deskpro w/ 500 mhz Penium), I decided to do the same for my laptop (compaq armada with 233 mhz mmx). Everything seemed to be going happily until I tried to boot (after editing lilo.conf and running lilo -v), whereupon the computer loaded the kernel, announced 'Ok, booting the kernel', and stopped dead in its tracks. I have the uptodate versions of ppp, modutils and so forth, and am (against advice) compiling under gcc 2.95, which produced no problems on the desktop machine. Has this happened to anyone else. Any advice? I was tempted to think that it was something wrong with lilo, until I noticed that the version on the laptop was actually more recent than the desktop, Help much appreciated Tiarnan
