Re: SOUND BLASTER 64 PCI EN LINUX
Hola! Yo tengo una Ensoniq Audio PCI, la version anterior de la Creative Sound Blaster PCI 64. (Antes de que Creative comprara a Ensoniq). Me funciona perfectamente, todo lo que tuve que hacer fue compilar el kernel y en la parte de Sonido seleccionar soporte para el chipset 1370. Yo uso el kernel 2.2.1, pero recuerdo que el kernel 2.1.1?? tambien tenia soporte para estas tarjetas de sonido. La Creative PCI tiene el chipset 1371, y tambien esta soportado en el kernel. Todo lo que debes hacer es compilar el kernel con soporte para la 1371, y listo!. Yo use el paquete gom para el mixer, y tambien el Kmixer cuando uso X. Buena suerte, Alexis Maldonado.

No detecta toda la memoria
Saludos a toda la lista: Al grano; tengo un pentiun 200MMX modelo SP de inves, cuenta con 2 bancos de memoria SIM y 2 de memoria DIM, la version de Debian es la 2.0. El problema; tena instalados 64Mb con los que todo funcionaba bien, pero ciertos procesos con la base de datos postgres tardan mucho, y decid hacer una ampliacin a 128Mb. Instale dos DIM de 64Mb, la bios chequea y reconoce toda la memoria, pero para mi sorpresa cuando consulto en /proc/meminfo solo me informa de 64Mb de ram, el area de swap tambin la tengo de 64Mb. Alguien puede ayudarme para hacer que el Debian use los 128Mb. -- Gracias de antemano por vuestros consejos. Jess (Burgos)

Re: Paginas man que no se actualizan
Hola Emilio, prueba con la siguiente instruccion, como root: makewhatis tarda un poco en actualizar la base de datos de las man pages, por defecto el comando utiliza el fichero /usr/share/catman/whatis. El problema que tienes con los programas que has instalado con posterioridad a tu instalacion de Linux, es que todavia no estan en esa base de datos, todos los paquetes que instalaste al principio fueron dados de alta en la base de datos la primera vez que se ejecuto el boot (se ejecuta automaticamente un makeindex en la instalacion del Linux).

Sonido
Hola a todos. Tengo un problema con la tarjeta de sonido al que no le encuentro explicación. Si pongo un CD de música en windows a sonar y reinicio rearrancando en linux, sigue sonando la música (es decir, el hw está bien). En ese momento, puedo controlar el CD con el xplaycd. Si apago y enciendo, y entro en linux no puedo poner música en el CD, no funciona nada. He probado el xplaycd con /dev/mixer y accediendo directamente (las dos opciones que tiene). Además, siempre que intento acceder al /dev/mixer (p.ej., en el arranque, cuando entra gom) da un error operation not supported by device. Por último, lo más raro de todo es que estoy seguro de haber puesto CDs de música con el linux (no recuerdo a partir de cuándo dejó de funcionar). ¿Puede ser que tenga que cargar algún módulo en el arranque que ya no se carga?

Re: Help
Hi I am new to Linux, and am learning fairly quick. But I am having problems getting my Xserver to work at a higher color depth then 8. If I try and remove that particular setting in the XF86Config file then it tells me that it cannot find the 8 bpp color setting and there for am unable to start X. to start it with 16bpp use startx -- -bpp 16 Also is there a way to save screen size I.E. so that every time I start Netscape I do not have to rezie it to fit the window. I am using FWM95 as my x manager. I find it annoying to have to resize the windows every time I start X and Netscape. Most applications allow you to specify the size which they take upon the startup. Like, if you call xterm -geometry 80x40 it will produce xterm window of size 80x40. Same with emacs, etc. I don't know the way it's done in FWM95, but in AfterStep I can edit a wharf file (wharf is the controller for AS on my computer) so that when I click on an icon it will give me an emacs window of specific size. I'm sure there is a way to do that in FWM as well. The other way would be to change the /etc/X11/Xresources file and put in a string at the end like: Netscape*Size: 120x50 I am not sure about the exact syntax, I'm deriving this from the way I initialize fonts for Netscape through Xresources, but try it out.

Re: remove plip from kernel
George Well, I told you it was probably something stupid I was or was not doing. I made a bootable floppy just now, from the new kernel image, and it booted my new kernel, and no more plip!

Re: Problem with kpkg / dpkg
According to Christian Dysthe: Hello Debian, I have tried to compile my kernel(2.0.34)for sound card support using kpgk. During the comile I get the message that it cannot find the command dpkg-gencontrol, and no kernel image is created. I put the kernel source in /user/kernelnew/linux/. the kpkg talks something about leving /usr/linux alone, but I do not understand this part fully. I have tried to compile the kernel using normal config and make, and it compiles fine and the kernel I get works fine, but I rather use kpkg since it automates' the whole procedure more for a newbie like myself. This is a known bug of dpkg, when you are using locales. You have to set the environment variables LANG and LC_TYPE, LC_ALL and the like to C instead of e.g. de_DE. Do in bash: LANG=C; export LANG, in tcsh: setenv LANG C and so on. Then you can just retype your make-kpkg command and it will succeed. kws -- Dr. Karl-Wilhelm Schulte Bergische Universitaet-GH/HRZ (Computing Center) Gaussstr. 20 D-42097 Wuppertal (Germany) Tel. +49-202-4392807, Fax +49-202-4392910 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Big HD problems - How stuffed am I?
Hi Folks,
Been having some problems with two of the HDs in one of my machines.
Both are Quantum TMs (a 2.3 and a 3.2, i believe), both on the first IDE
chanel.
The drives will pause and make a funny noise (which is never a good
sign, AFAIK). Then I'll get an error message, like the ones below.
irq timeout: status=0x80 {Busy}
hdb: read_intr: status=0xff {Busy}
ide0: reset timed-out, status=0xd0
That's not all of them, but as many of them as I managed to copy down.
For a while they would pause, give the error, and then start up again,
but lately my computer has completely frozen up a few times, and now it
refuses to boot at all.
It seems like both of the drives have the problem, although one was
getting a little more scrambled than the other. Seems sort of strange
that they would both die at the same time (they were bought at different
times from different places)!
The other IDE channel has a CD-ROM and another HD on it (a 1.2G
Seagate), and doesn't seem to have any problems that I have seen.
Anyone have any idea what is causing these probelms? Have both my HDs
died at once (that sort of hits the hip pocket in a big way!), or is it
something else that might be contributing to it?
Thanks,
damon

Well hello again, I finally got around to working on the Fire Dept. PC again. I have now gotten my home PC connecting and working well with my ISP; the same as the FD in fact the same account. I then went to the Fire Station and used the same PPPConfig settings, using CHAT, and now I get past the Username: and Password prompts and receive a connection established message then pppd fires up and I am back at the connection time-out and connection terminated with the information about not clean 8 bit... Earlier, John Hasler wrote: It looks like the isp for your Fire Dept. box is expecting a chat login and you are trying to use PAP. Dial in with minicom and work through the login until you get the garbage that indicates that the isp has started ppp to find out just what he wants to see. I looked at my Win98 DUN setup and it is using 8N1 for bit settings. I do not know where to go in PPP to play with the bit settings. You don't need to. That error message is misleading. What is happening is that pppd is sending packets to what it thinks is another pppd at the isp. The shell at the isp echoes the packets (with bit 7 off because it is in text mode) and keeps looking for the rest of the login. Pppd, which is expecting ppp packets, sees that bit seven is cleared and jumps to a wrong conclusion. I am now a bit further along but still not quite there, this is a 56K ISA modem.

Proxying and such forth
Well, here goes nothing :) I'm a little intrigued by some settings relating to dselect, basically how would I set dselect to use the proxy which I use under netscape? Or even better use the one I have setup on my machine because it is set completely to handle all proxy modes that my ISP uses. I ask this because I don't feel like spending fifteen hours online downloading slink (I'm only getting 15-25kps off my 56k modem without proxying). If I can't setup dselect to access via proxy what would I need to make it send it's ftp requests to the proxy (I believe it's called transparent proxy or some such, I don't know where to start with that).

I have mathematica installed on my system and was thinking it'd be nice to make this available via the menus. I know Debian has a nice method of doing things like this but I can't seem to make it work. I THOUGHT it was as easy as adding a menu entry in /etc/menu, so I installed a file called /etc/menu/mathematica with the contents: ?package(mathematica):\ needs=x11\ section=Apps/Math\ title=Mathematica\ command=/usr/local/bin/mathematica and ran update-menus. Unfortunately I must be missing something because the entry didn't show up in my WindowMaker menu. Apps/Math only contains: Xcalc bc dc I tried various things, including a reboot, and a update-menus -v, but I didn't see anything that was of use to me. Can someone shed some light on what I'm missing here? Thanks, Gary
Dissapearing re-appearing CD-Rom drive
I hope somebody can give my some advice. My problem is that my cd-rom drive is not always recognised by the BIOS when my machine starts up, I have the bios set to auto configure. When this happens it does not appear in the Debian startup screen. and when I try to mount it I get a message like invalid block device. I had this problem before and the bios seemed only to recognise the drive when on a cold boot or a warm boot when a data cd was in the drive. However as Win95/NT both managed to use the drive irrespective of wether the Bios found it I did not bother about it to much and was told that it is just a qurk of ide. I am a little disappointed that Debian (hamm) has problems. I have just reinstalled Debian, as i made a complete mess of my last instellation, everything worked well the machine booted from the CDrom but when it came time to run dselect it would not recognise the drive. Fortunately I have a HP 7200i CDRW so I was able to use this to finish the instellation. Since then i sometimes can read the Cdrom and sometimes I cannot. This problem with the BIOS has not been happening for quite some time and I don't know why it has returned as i don't seem to have done any thing to coincide with it. I have a P200MMX, Abit TX5 ATX mboard. 3.2 Gb hd as primary master. Phillips 24X CD-Rom as Secondary Master and HP7200i as secondary slave. I have flashed the m'board bios with the latest updates but to no avail. BTW I am running hamm Thanks in advance. and sorry about the spellin Noel

Date: Thu, Feb 25, 1999 at 05:29:44PM -0600 In reply to:rich Quoting rich([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Howdy all, I'm having trouble getting Netscape and Wordperfect to recognize my TTFs... I've installed xfstt (it's loaded during boot-up), but when I do a xlsfonts | grep ttf I get nothing... I've also done ln -s /dos_c/windows/fonts /usr/share/fonts/truetype/winfonts as per xfstt documentation... I know that I'm probably supposed to add the line xset fp+ unix/:7101 to my xinitrc (?), but that doesn't do anything any ideas? Thanks in advance, Rich I spent an hour last night finally got it working correctly after trying a number of different methods. In the end this worked best, for me. Created a file with the following in it. xfstt --sync xfstt --res 120 xset fp+ inet/127.0.0.1:7100 NOTE: xfstt looks for the fonts, by default, in /usr/ttfonts. Thats where mine are. If yours are elsewhere you have to symlink. The xset fp+ inet/127.0.0.1:7100 works where th unin/:7100 didn't. Now whenever I want ttf I just run that little file. That was at 2AM so haven't done anything else since then. HTH -- Nobody said computers were going to be polite. ___ Wayne T. Topa [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am using FWM95 as my x manager. I find it annoying to have to resize the windows every time I start X and Netscape. Most applications allow you to specify the size which they take upon the startup. Like, if you call xterm -geometry 80x40 it will produce xterm window of size 80x40. Same with emacs, etc. I don't know the way it's done in FWM95, but in AfterStep I can edit a wharf file (wharf is the controller for AS on my computer) so that when I click on an icon it will give me an emacs window of specific size. I'm sure there is a way to do that in FWM as well. The other way would be to change the /etc/X11/Xresources file and put in a string at the end like: Netscape*Size: 120x50 I am not sure about the exact syntax, I'm deriving this from the way I initialize fonts for Netscape through Xresources, but try it out. In your .fvwmrc. This is from .fvwm95rc Exec rxvt -name Mail -T Mail -font 10x20 -geometry 100x37 -e mutt -y Exec Netscape netscape -geometry 920x622+90+5 ' or in .xinit (to start programs at at startup) This is in my .xinitrc xsetroot -cursor_name gumby xlnet -geometry +213+725 xnet pppload -geometry +4+649 xosview -geometry +2+775 BTW this info IS in the man pages doc's.

apt-get and broken CD layouts
Hi! When I was new to debian, I made a hamm CD that is severely broken in its directory structure. # ls /mnt/cdrom binary-i386 disks-i386 upgrade-i386 # ls /mnt/cdrom/binary-i386 Packages. Packages.gz devel hamradio net tex doc ... So, binary-i386 is complete. My /etc/apt/sources.list says deb file:/mnt/cdrom/binary-i386/ / apt-get update works, but (for example) apt-get install joe tries to install from /mnt/cdrom/binary-i386/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/editors/joe_2.8-10.deb which clearly does not exist. Which line do I need in sources.list for my broken cd? Any hints will be appreciated. Greetings Marc -- -- !!
