Re: Línea de reserva para acceso a Internet

yo uso esto:

\addtolength{\textwidth}{8cm}
\addtolength{\voffset}{-4cm}
\addtolength{\textheight}{6cm}
en el preámbulo. Obviamente los centímetros pueden variar.

kernel 2.2.0-pre6
Hola, Ayer o antes de ayer mandé un mensaje a la lista que en resumen era: Como no encuentro el deb del kernel 2.2.0-pre6 y tengo el tar.gz de este kernel (CD PC-Actual de Febrero), intalo las fuentes en /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.0-pre6. Quiero crear la imagen del kernel con make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image, pero al comparar con las fuentes del nucleo que tengo 2.0.34 que fueron instaladas desde paquetes kernel-source*.deb veo alguna diferencia (algunos archivos, el directorio /debian, ).

Por otro lado hay que tener cuidado en qué momento se apaga el pc. Si usas 'shutdown -h now' tienes que eperar hasta que te dice 'system halted'. Un compañero de trabajo tenía problemas con una estación HP que hay que rebootear periódicamente. Llegamos a pensar que el disco duro estaba fallando por la cantidad de errores e inconsistencias que mostraba, hasta que fui testigo de una reinicialización de la máquina y me di cuenta que mi compañero la estaba apagando antes de que terminara el shutdown, por su poco entendimiento del inglés. Usar 'shutdown -r now' no me parece buena idea ya que tienes que apuntarle a apagar el pc en el momento en que no hay peligro (entre que termina el shutdown y empieza el boot).

ls in anon. ftp
I have just set up an anonymous ftp on my machine. The directory is /home/ftp with subdirectories bin etc and pub. THe directory ftp is owned by root and group staff. I copied /bin/ls into /home/ftp/bin. In etc, I copied the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files and deleted everything except the line for the ftp in the passwd file and the group in the group file. I am able to ftp anonymously from another tty on my machine but when I do an ls, the message is the usual one ( command successful .. ASCII for /bin/ls ) but the subdirectories and not shown up. I tried ftp from my home machine, which is also a Debian Linux, and I get the same problem. However, when I ftp from the NT machine and do the ls, the subdirectories show up. Does anybody know what the problem is? I have been following all the directions from man ftpd and Linux unleashed by Hussain, and Parker.

If this rings a bell to anyone feel free to drop me a line :) I'll take another few stubs at it in the meantime. I can still boot 2.0.33 from a floppy so IO can use the machine enough to configure it. TIA Dimitri.p
Re: Debian Logo *Idea* Contest! (Delay for painting contest required)
Hi, On Thu, 18 Feb, 1999 à 12:23:43PM +0100, Andreas Tille wrote: Hello Debian deveolopers and friends, this day is the first I started thinking about the importance of a Debian logo. Someone will say it is to late for a maintainer who [...] Debian Logo Idea Contest Wy do we need such a contest. The mails of Joey have shown, that there is the problem of no-unique-concept for the logo. Friends [...] So let us define first, *what* we want to show on our logo. This is always the first step in software related things. Wy did we step over it?? Well, that a difficult task for these reasons : - We probably have different ideas of what symbolize debian - Most of these ideas are abstract concept - As far as I'm concerned I do not make a neat distinction amongst linux and debian, so what I could suggest pertains as much to linux than to debian. Here are two suggestions addressing the first points. My ideas of debian/linux (without any significance in the order) are : freedom, power, cooperation. What animals symbolize these ? (and don't forget it's a cultural issue, dragons are considered as dreadfull in occident and benevolent in asia) freedom : flying birds (Johnatan Livingston the seagull...) power : big and strong animals (elephant, bear, buffalo, whales) cooperation : social insects (ants, bees, termites) Problems : none of the animals meets two of the ideas, birds are already used (penguin of linux and the actual debian logo is a stylisized red bird that I like BTW), all of the powerfull animals are in danger of extinguishment, I don't think the idea of an insect appealing. So animals don't appears as a good solution. What else is possible ? To illustrate the idea of freedom we could represent an escape : sheets (bed) hanging from jail window with filed bars. Strong points : It's easy to draw, easy to resize, easy to identify. easy to simplify for an icon. I thought of a nice slogan for it : Debian: free your computer and your mind. It's important to fit the logo and the slogan as the name (debian) is already choosen. Red hat fit well with RedHat, gnu fit well with GNU, pyramid fit well Kheops (a french society localizing Slackware and RedHat) but the names and the logo where chosen at the same time (perhaps not for GNU ?). Drawbacks : Jail is not a positive concept, it could enforce the confusion of hackers with pirates, it doesn't illustrate cooperation easily (perhaps knotted sheets allowing escape from two cells), I don't see how it could evocates power. Nevertheless, I do like this idea, so if a painter wish to give it a try, i'll will be glad to have collaborated in this way to debian. Idea no. 1: Orca for Debian My first impression about orca is that it's a terrible predator. Why do I think that an orca whale is exactly what we need for our logo: - often logos are animals Not so often, stylized letters or words came first then stars and circles/spheres are quite numerous. - let us choose an animal which stands for freedom - there are many animals which fit this fact, but many of them Not so much I think, unless that you consider that any wild animal is free in such a way none is the symbol of freedom. are occupied by governments of countries - we shouldn't stik on any sign of a certain country - lets take an orca whale - everybody knows the Free Willy story ... I don't want to say ^ No ! I'm definetly convinced that less than 10% of the world population has seen the movie. anything about the quality of this film, but the general idea is good - it has something in common with our ideas: * we want to bring software to freedom -- its a *process to get free* * Debian is big, as well as an orca whale * it has big tooth to fight against commercial software developers I agree with your two first points but the third one is a drawback in my opinion. - it could be a strong logo (may be it could have something in common with the world-idea of Joey, because orcas live in all oceans of our world which may or may not be expressed in the futur logo, thats a design question which I don't want to deal with true - we can brofit very much from the popularity of the whales in our day! ... we want to have popularity and we need to have popularity Probably not. What let us recognise gnu as GNU and cameleon as S.u.S.E. is that they're not overseen. I fear that a whale would be just an other whale amongs a lot. - a good designer cold paint a *funny* orca -- as funny as the penguin and other ones It's a strong point for animals : they are easy to make funny and sympathetic. I think of linux logo, particulary of extrem linux or drawings of Bruno Bellamy. [technical good points for orca] OK, lets assume these ideas are good or someone has a better, its just a suggestion. Same remark applies to my ideas. Last point, opposing to Joey, I do think that the word Debian should be

Multi IP's on interface
Hello, Is it possible, and if so how, to support two IP's on a single interface card? I thought I have seen this somewhere. I am trying to put a 192.168.2.x on my eth1 which is the same interface that connects to my bridge and my Internet connection. I want to get to the management utility on the bridge without broadcasting the bridges management IP on the Internet. Another option may be to set up a route from my internal subnet on eth0, (192.168.1.x) to eth1, (206.xxx.xxx.xxx) where eth1 also has visability to a 192.168.x.x address. Any ideas on either method? Other options? I am looking for something simple, and somewhat secure from the outside world. Thanks, Bill Bell
re: Exceed 6 setup help
I just purchased a new computer so I wouldn't have to dual boot anymore. I must use Windows for MS Office (Excel) and games. Problem is that I have only one monitor. I have Exceed 6 but I can't seem to get it working. Does someone who has done this have time to walk me through this? What do I installed and configured on my slink box? What needs to be done on the Windows side? Ideally, I'd like to be able to have a few RXVTs and probably xemacs for programming. If some one has the time to help me I am grateful. Thanks. Well I work for Hummingbird, though not on the Exceed side. If you have problems email me and I can find a support address for you. Exceed is just an X server. It provides services to display windows, do X graphics, etc. When it is running on Windows, it is just sitting there waiting for X clients (ie, UNIX programs that show windows) to connect and do stuff with it. So once Exceed is installed, and you have set permission to map windows to it (ie, xhost +), telnet/rlogin to your linux box and set your DISPLAY environment variable to your windows box. Then, if you launch any X programs, they will open their windows on and interact with the display on your windows box. Which coincidentally happens to be Exceed on Windows. Then, you can run your linux box without a monitor, and your Windows box with the monitor, and network the boxes. You can have all your Windows programs on the monitor, and all your X programs on your monitor as well with Exceed. I helped develop most of our BI UNIX stuff that way, working on 4-5 computers but with everything on different virtual desktops on a Solaris box. It's convenient to not have to change desks all the time. I've only seen Exceed in action once or twice, but it looks like a good X server. I saw it handle a Solaris CDE session identical to what I normally see on console (before I got E running on my UltraSPARC...). -- SEGV MINION Project: http://www.cgocable.net/~mlepage/ RTS Game Programming: http://www.cgocable.net/~mlepage/rts/

Soundpro Under 2.2.1
Well, I've gotten Kernel 2.2.1 running on the machine, it has everything I need (at present), but I seem to have a little problem. Under 2.0.34 I setup my soundcard as a sound blaster, but with the new version, it refuses to detect the sound Card (it's a Soundpro or for the Techies, a CMI8330 PCI (onboard) sound card). With 2.0.34 I had to wait for it to correctly intigate the soundcard, but well, now it just refuses and tells me the card ain't there, anyone have the same soundcard and got it working? Or anyone got a way around this? HEEELLLPPP I need my sound.. well okay, Quake runs better with sound, so... I guess that means I need it... Also I do not have DOS installed anymore so I can't boot up that way and chop over (it didn't work under 2.0.34 anyway so I guess it won't for 2.2.1)... Thanx in Advance, Peter Ludwig

problem with sendmail
I've set up my sendmail daemon to just forward my mail to my provider's smart relay host mail.online-club.de. It worked pretty well until earlier this week. All of a sudden though I get messages like Deferred: 451 [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Deferred by rule. Obviously no mail goes out. I checked the relay host and sendmail tries to deliver to post.strato.de. I never even heard about that domain. I just talked to my provider (since this could have been a name server problem) and they told me that strato is not their upstream provider. However, it is a provider too. So all of a sudden my system tries to deliver mail through the wrong companies smtp host. Does anyone have an idea how this could happen?

You should also check there isn't anything important in the /etc file that isn't in the ~/ file. Again, sorry but I'm uncertain about this stuff: my setup is a bit different, 'cos I'm permanently connected. You can get it to deliver to different folders, and even sort your mail by editing a .forward file in your home directory, eg. if $header_resent-from: contains debian-user then save $home/mail/debian else save $home/mail/inbox Then you need to set up your reader to point to the mail directory in snip I have read of procmail too. Is it good? I think procmail does pretty much the same function as that of exim described above. You need a ~/.procmailrc file, with (differently formatted rules in it. As to the advantages and disadvantages over ~.forward and exim, I don't know. I've put the example .procmailrc from the procmail manpage below, to give you an idea.

wxPython on debian?
I want to start experimenting with wxwindows and wxpython in order to write cross-platform applications. I did install wxgtk2_1.96-1.deb, but could not do anything usefull with it. I could not get wxpython to compile due to missing header files. So I removed it. According to some people using wxpython I should get wxGTK2. 1.96 is too old. I could not find a debian package and did download wxGTK2b5.tgz which depends on gtk+-1.0.6 so I downloaded a Slackware package named gtk+-1.0.6.tar.bz2. Now I do not know my way forward.

XFree86 3.3.3.1 packaged.
'lo,
If you feel bored this WE or happen to have one of those gfx cards
supported only in the most recents XFree86 releases, you may want to try
my 3.3.3.1 packages.
They're accessible on: http://master.debian.org/~vincent/xfree-3.3.3.1/
Notes:
- Based on the Debian changes from 3.3.2.3a-10 and upstream 3.3.3.1
sources.
- One new binary package produced: xserver-glint; boards supported: GLINT
500TX with IBM RGB526 RAMDAC, GLINT MX with IBM RGB526 and IBM
RGB640 RAMDAC, Permedia with IBM RGB526 RAMDAC and Permedia 2
(classic, 2a, 2v).
- Takes ~1.5h to build on my Celeron 385 ;)
- These are _not_ the 3.3.3.1 official packages. Branden should make
them in a while.
- These packages WorkForMe(tm), but I haven't tested them too much. If you
have problems/questions about them, please report to me directly.

Re: XFree86 3.3.3.1 packaged.
Is this built with the Sparc and Alpha patches, so those of us not on
x86 can try it out too?
Thanks,

'lo,
If you feel bored this WE or happen to have one of those gfx cards
supported only in the most recents XFree86 releases, you may want to try
my 3.3.3.1 packages.
They're accessible on: http://master.debian.org/~vincent/xfree-3.3.3.1/
Notes:
- Based on the Debian changes from 3.3.2.3a-10 and upstream 3.3.3.1
sources.
- One new binary package produced: xserver-glint; boards supported: GLINT
500TX with IBM RGB526 RAMDAC, GLINT MX with IBM RGB526 and IBM
RGB640 RAMDAC, Permedia with IBM RGB526 RAMDAC and Permedia 2
(classic, 2a, 2v).
- Takes ~1.5h to build on my Celeron 385 ;)
- These are _not_ the 3.3.3.1 official packages. Branden should make
them in a while.
- These packages WorkForMe(tm), but I haven't tested them too much. If you
have problems/questions about them, please report to me directly.

Re: Compiling a program error
Oh, sorry, your problem seams to be an compiler installation problem. A search for __eh_pc gives the following URL: http://www.cygnus.com/ml/egcs/1998-Oct/0119.html with the following quote: My guess is that you're mixing new compilers and old libraries. You probably have an old libgcc.a somewhere that it's finding. Use gcc -v to see the exact linker line generated so you can see the search paths. -- Patrik Hägglund

NeoMagic Card with Slink
Hello, Has anyone had any problems using Slink with a Neomagic video card. I am currently using Hamm with Precision Insights XFCom_NeoMaic Xserver. Now from what I have seen from slink is that a lot of changes happen when you upgrade to slink, especially with the fonts. My question is will the Precision Insights XFCom_NeoMaic Xserver still work if I upgrade to slink or am I going to have to find another solution. Any advise would be helpful.

Re: pine mutt
Steve Willer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) said: Now I use mutt and tin and am quite happy with both. Sounds like mutt wasn't too good for news either. AFAIK mutt isn't currently meant to be a news reader. There are patches to make it do news however, but they aren't incorporated into the stable (Beta) release yet (I believe they're still under development). Anyways, I started out using pine, then went to elm, and now I'm at mutt and can't complain at all. I'd suggest that if you're not into editting plain text config files however, that you don't migrate to mutt, as setting up a good .muttrc takes a little time. IMO mutt isn't a MUA for the average user, but more for the technical types. .adam -- Adam Lazur - Computer Engineering Undergrad - Lehigh University icq# 3354423 - http://www.lehigh.edu/~ajl4 The Internet is like crack for smart people -- Arsenio Hall
