Por otro lado , si estas mas o menos acostumbrado al Visual Basic, quiza debas empezar con Visual TCL / TK, que para diseñar interfaces graficas esta mas o menos igual. Por cierto, hay modulos para usar TK desde Perl. Disculpame por no recordar las direcciones exactas, pero estoy segura de que las podras encontrar facilmente en http://www.altavista.com. Ciao.

Xemacs/auctex
Hi: I have just installed Debian Linux 2 and xemacs20 and emacs19 with all the necessary files ( I think ). The emacs works fine with auctex, but the xemacs seems to go into latex mode but the menu items don't appear. ( I have installed the same thing on my home computer and it works fine ). Clearly I am missing something, but I have gone through all the files necessary according to Packages, and everything is installed. How do I debug this to find out what's wrong? When I call up a .tex file the menu changes from the usual Elisp file menus, but it is not the menu items which appear on the emacs19 when is run ( LaTeX, Command etc ). dpkg -C does not show that anything is broken. Will be grateful for any help. Thanks Sebastian Canagaratna Department of Chemistry Ohio Northern University Ada, OH 45810

Re: expect script with ppp and stty forces reboot
On 29 Nov 1998 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I talk with the modem in the expect script as follows: system stty 38400 -echoe -echo raw /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ttyS1 spawn -noecho -open [open /dev/ttyS1 r+] Why do you need to do this? Pppd will just reconfigure the serial port to its satisfaction when it comes up. I did that following the example /usr/doc/ppp/examples/secure-card. I don't know any other way for expect to communicate with the modem. I was partially wrong about one thing in my previous post - if the first system line is commented out, the script runs (although it connects at 9600 baud) but it also hangs on the second try. If you are just using the expect script to dial and negotiate a connection, it would be much easier to use pppd's 'connect' option. One way to do this is to create a file in /etc/ppp/peers/ just like the ones pppconfig makes (naming it 'my_office', for example), but replace connect /usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider with connect /usr/bin/expect /etc/chatscripts/my_office Then you will be able to connect to your office with 'pon my_office' and disconnect with 'poff'. I tried this a number of times, but I could not figure out how to get expect to not disconnect the modem connection after exiting. I thought the overlay command would do this, but it explicitly wants a command to take the connection. I would prefer to do it that way - any suggestions? Also, in regards to your first question, even if I could get it going in this preferable fashion, wouldn't I still need to point expect at the serial port using the system and spawn commands above? overlay -0 $spawn_id -1 $spawn_id /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS1 38400 Do you really need to run as slow as 38400? No, I should have changed that. However, when the connection is first established, it comes up as 38400 in the expect script output. Does pppd have the ability to speed this up? Also, if I leave out the stty command from above, the connection is established at 9600 baud. This works fine (as far as I can tell), but after disconnecting using poff,... Which kills pppd, causing it to put the serial port back the way it found it, i.e., as your stty command set it up. I don't understand that. I can issue the stty command any number of times before the ppp connection and it always returns. Only after the ppp connection is disconnected using poff is when the stty command hangs. Given my lack of understanding of this stuff, I thought that I was doing something analogous to leaving the serial port busy so I could not access it again, but I don't know how to figure that out. Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it. This would be a great deal easier if I didn't need to have an interactive script to ask for a one-time passphrase.

(did I get that right ?) I am using ppp to connect to my ISP, so that means xxx.33 will be my ppp0 interface's IP rite ? What about my eth0 interface ?

What Obsolete/local means is that the package does not show up in the list of available packages for download from the ftp server, or from the CD ROM. It by no means indicates that a package is obsolete or shouldn't be used anymore. For example, I installed apt on my Debiann 2.0 system. Apt is part of 2.1, and was not included in 2.0 at all. When I look at apt in dselect, it shows up as being obsolete. That's not because it is, but because it is not in the Packages file (list of available packages) that gets shown when I update the 2.0 package list. Dselect has no idea where that package came from, so it assumes that it's either obsolete and no longer included in the distribution, or it's a local package of some non-Debian software.

(did I get that right ?) I am using ppp to connect to my ISP, so that means xxx.33 will be my ppp0 interface's IP rite ? What about my eth0 interface ? Will I also need to give it one IP of its own since its the only interface my LAN (of windoze puters)can directly see ? How about the routing, what other routes do I have to add ? Im also confised whther I also have to add additional #ifconfig commands. Hope someone can help me. thanks, Sib - A world of Information. The journey begins here. At Home.

Upgraded to unstable, now unstable
Folks, Have used Debian for critical office uses for over two years now. And last saturday, being in Office, decided to upgrade from hamm to slink. (Please do not shoot yet). Near the end, I started getting: update-menus: error in loading shared libraries /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.0-1.so.2: undefined symbol: __register_frame_info Hmmm. No problem, will right it self, I thought. The same sort of library problems had occured when upgrading my Debian/Sparc installtion. But no way. Many tools have stopped working (groff, etc); and to top it all, apt-get and dselect too. So no hope of the next day's updates on slink righting matters.

libstdc++2.? breaking
I foolishly did an `apt-get -m upgrade` to upgrade my slink distribution even though I was getting errors about libstdcsomething.deb being unlocatable. Now I have a big problem with a lot of my programs, including telnet, man (groff to be exact), apt-get, dselect, etc. When I try executing the above programs, I get this error message: program_name: error in loading shared libraries /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.0-1.so.2: undefined symbol: __register_frame_info I think it's a problem with my libstdc++2.9 packages; at least it seems like that's the case.

It is not your CDROM device, but instead, a symbolic link to the CDROM device. First, you'll need to know which device is your CDROM. This can be sen at boot up. If it's an IDE CDROM, it's most likely hdb or hdc. Try 'cat /proc/ide/hdc/model' to verify this. If it's SCSI, It's probably scd0. You can then create /dev/cdrom by executing the following commands as root: cd /dev ln -s cdrom hdc ls -l cdrom This will create a symbolic link from /dev/cdrom - /dev/hdc.

Re: Installing Debian 2.0 (Intel) for first time
See comments below: I am new to Linux Debian, Also I am not a programmer. I have tried to install Debian 2.0 (Intel)from CD. I have Win98 on my 4.3GB hard drive so I cleared 2.4G and managed to create a 200Mg root partition dev/hda3, a 96MG ((is this much necessary? )swap partition dev/hda7 an a 2.1+GB linux partition dev/hda8 and have reached the Configure Device Drivers step; but I am unsure what settings to use. The approach I took was to start simple. Don't try and get everything running in one hit. Just select the serial and parallel ports. It is better to work through hardware issues one-by-one. You don't want to be restarting the install again and again. Did you start the install from CD-ROM? Can you please let me know what I must do to get them to run in Linux?. Also at one attempted to install I left Configure Device Drivers blank, then when I reached the list of access methods in Dselect, when I chose cdrom it requested the Block I do not know what this is. I read the Dselect documentation for beginners but it has no mention of this. It does talk about mounting your CD could you explain what mounting is and how I can mount the CD drives mentioned above. The exact block device depends upon your computer setup. There is no harm in trying a few different devices. What sort of disk controllers do you have installed? Is your CD-ROM SCSI or ATAPI. If it ATAPI, then there is a good chance that /dev/hdb is the block device to use. If I recall correctly you are presented with a menu showing a choice of which device to select for the CD-ROM. I found the correct device by trial and error as I misunderstand how my pc was setup. Finally can you recommend the best learning materials for learning how to use and get the most out of Linux ( remembering I am a beginner ) The install notes are very important. It pays to read through them very carefully before starting any install.

Re: Hello World doesn't work
Hmmm. I was told that 'int func(void)' means it takes no parameters, while 'int func()' means it could take any. As silly as it seems, I think this is part of the ANSI C standard (to allow for older programming styles). Otherwise, there would never have been any need for 'int func(void)'. I think C++ changes this and makes 'int func()' mean the same thing as 'int func(void)'. If you want to pass multiple parameters (eg printf), you can use 'int func(...)' instead. I personally try and avoid the use 'int func()' unless I am compiling a C++ program, where it means no parameters (ie its use is obvious). Brian May

XF86Config help needed
I am trying to do a new install on a Hitachi M-Series laptop. I have the base installation loaded, but can't get the X server to run. Hitatchi says the V Freq for all resolutions is 60 Hz, and provides no additional information. The card is a Cirrus CL-GD7543, which is detected as having dotclocks of 40 at a depth of 8. There is 1 Mb VRAM. When I go through XF86Setup after clicking Done and Okay, the text screen (not the GUI text screen) blinks on and off, and Ctrl-Alt-Bsp does nothing. When I use xf86config I get Attempting to start server... _X11 TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect errno=111, and then it goes to a black screen with two orange horizontal lines, roughly at 1/3s of the screen. C-A-Bsp will terminate the X server. Starting X file 21 gives a listing of ModeLines, all saying the hsync is not large enough and the screen deleted, then says no screens found. If I increase hsync (it sets it at 31.5-55 by default), the screen for which I changed it isn't deleted, but it still won't start, and still says no screens found. I have been through the XF86HOWTO and the XFree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO, but I feel that I'm missing some data from Hitachi (like Hsynch).

includes?
I am pretty sure that I have seen this discussed in the past, but I can't seem to find it in the mailing list archives. What is the deal with the include directories? My specific problem is that I am trying to install the 2.0.36 kernel, with a Pentium performance counter patch from the Beowulf project. Now I made the patch, and used make-kpkg to build the kernel-headers and installed that. The perf patches have an additional header file, which did appear in the /usr/src/linux sym linked directory which was installed from the header package that I just created. But when I try to build the perf patch library, it can't find that header file! And then I realized that /usr/include has no links to /usr/src/linux. So what is the point in installing header packages? What am I missing? How are these header files supposed to be accessed by users at compile time?

Mainly because I have an Adaptec 2940UW that isn't supported so well, at least until 2.0.36, without patches. I also fiddle with the development kernels on occasion. With make-kpkg I can easily build my own custom kernels and install them just as I would one of the stock Debian kernels. I'm also a bit of a control freak when it comes to my kernels. I want to be able to boot my kernel and have access to all the hardware I'd need to do a full restore of my system from tape, without kernel modules. It makes it easier to build a set of custom rescue diskettes with such a kernel and the stock Debian kernel doesn't allow this.

Hi! I am currently porting my program from an SGI to a DEC Ultrix and a PC Linux system. The biggest problem (besides byte swapping stuff) is the number of supported visuals. On the SGI I can chooes between lots of different truecolor, directcolor and pseudocolor visuals. The same on the DEC (with smaller colormaps however :-[ ), but on my Linux box with XFree running in 16bpp mode I only have _one_ truecolor visual. If I start X with 8bpp I get some more, but then the truecolor visuals look really ugly. So, I am really wondering: What does the number of supported visuals depend on?

Yet I am sure they must be there, as I have been dropped into dselect once. Since I don't have the latter, I cannot install the former.
