Re: Please permitidme este big Offtopic sobre un concepto
El jueves 15 de julio de 1999 a la(s) 11:44:42 +0200, Manuel Trujillo contaba: Hace poco HueBod (qué por cierto debe saber un montón) Anda, pues muchas gracuas :^) explicar qué es un servidor NAT? ¿Sabes lo que hace el ip-masquerade? Pues lo mismo. NAT = Network address translation. La explicación de Paco Brufal sobre las diferencias entre una cosa y otra me convence, aunque yo había oído algo distinto. Que había más diferencias. Que el NAT sería el sustituto del IPMasq en nuevos kernels, y que no daría problemas con el DCC en el IRC, por ejemplo. -- Just do it.

gmc/mc mutuamente excluyentes?
Hola todos. Nota: como verás yo no he instalado el gmc. La razón es que para ello hay que desinstalar el mc. Pues yo instale mi gmc y en ningún momento me mando a quitar el mc. De hecho los dos conviven perfectamente. Ya que estamos, esta exclusión entre gmc y mc no la acabo de comprender compañeros, lo que puede usarse en X no se puede usar en consola y es ahí donde la potencia de un mc se echa en falta cuando no se tiene. Tienes toda la razón, por eso me extraña el comentario, puesto que yo no tuve ese problema. Yo instalé gnome directo desde el ftp hace pocos días. Y hablando de gnome, el gdm es muy inestable, no logre hacerlo funcionar bien, y además generó un archivo de unos 15 Mb que me pareció al bug que se comenta en la descripción del paquete. Me tuve que quedar con el wdm. Y como ultimo comentario, decir que no logro iniciar el gnome-sessión automáticamente, aunque incluí la linea en el /etc/X11/Xsession, y no haya ningún xinitrc en mi $HOME. Alguien tiene la combinación gnome/enlightment funcionando correctamente? Ahhh y por ultimo la línea que otros compañeros de la lista me dieron para el environment, LANG=es_ES.ISO-8859-1 no me la reconoce, pero me reconoce LANGUAGE=es por lo que al menos por ese lado todo bien. :-?

sALudos(Voodoo 2 Banshee)
Hola: Me compre una tarjeta voodoo 2 Banshee de Creative, e modelo es 3D BLASTER BANSHEE . TEngo instalado Debian 2.1(Slink). Baje el rpm del servidor para superVga que la soporta de www.linux3d.org y extraje el archivo que corresponde al servidor, y lo copie a /usr/bin/X11R6... X Window jala sin problemas. Despues baje los rpm4s de Glide de la pagina de 3dfx y los instale y tambien jala sin problemas. Ahora, quiero compilar mesagl utlizando glide y recompilar los paquetes que utilizan mesa. La pregunta es si hay alguna forma mas sencilla de instalar glide, mesa, Xfree y otros paquetes en debian optimizados para la Voodoo o si van a venir incluidos con el debian2.2. Si en realidad no se ha hecho ese trabajo, me gustaria hacerlo con el apoyo de alguien que sepa generar paquetes para debian. Lo que no quiero es estar reinventando la rueda.

sALudos(SMP en 2.1)
Hola: Tengo una maquina dual con dos PII a 350MHZ, 512MB de RAM y y con controladora SCSI Adaptec 7895. Esta maquina tenia instalado Debian 2.0 y el kernel que incluye(no recuerdo si era 2.0.36) y esta compilado el kernel para SMP y no daba problemas. Actualice a slink con la idea de instalar el kernel 2.2.10 con las extensiones de MOSIX y he tenido los siguientes problemas. El cd de slink al bootear la maquina no reconoce el SCSI, por lo que tuve que instalar 2.0 y luego actualizar a 2.1. La actualizacion de 2.0 a 2.1 corre sin problemas, incluso puedo compilar el kernel 2.2.10 sin problemas para SMP, pero marca errores cuando trato de instalar MOSIX(NOTA.-en mi PC con K6II a 350MHZ y 32MB de RAM hice lo msmo y es muy estable el sistema). Por loa anterior decidi no instalar MOSIX y solo el kernel 2.2.10 para SMP. El sistema funciona bien, pero despues de un tiempo de compilar y que ejecutan calculos pesados y transferencias entre el disco SCSI e IDE la maquina empieza a tener el problema de que se bloquea, tambien he tratado dejando el kernel 2.0.36 y pasa lo mismo, cada se degrada mas el sistema hasta que es necesrio reinstalarlo porque se bloquea muy seguido. Saben si el Debian 2.2 ya viene otra vez estable igual que 2.0. O que puedo hacer para instlar 2.1 y que sea estable en SMP? Les repito que una configuracion de sistema y kernel funciona sin problemas en mi K6II con la Voodoo. Tambien quiero ponerle una Voodoo a la maquina dual, pero quiero saber si los paquetes que he instalado para soportarla son estables en Debbian 2.0 Gracias. sALudos -- Quedo suyo, cuanto mas lejos mejor, P.S.

Re: /etc/shutdown.allow
Hue-Bond escribio: [...] Sustituyamos por un momento shutdown por fsck. Ahora va a resultar que si el señor root está loggeado, el más bajo de los usuarios tendrá permiso para cargarse el disco! ¿Le ves sentido a esto? Yo no, por ningún lado. Holas, Pero el asunto es que solo se puede hacer desde la consola. Tienes que hacerlo desde una consola virtual, es decir el riesgo seria que el root se fuera a almorzar dejando la consola abierta, y en ese caso creo que el peligro de un shutdown es el menor de todos :) De todos modos no le veo sentido a no ser para evitarle al root un alt-fx si esta logueado como usuario normal en otra consola virtual.

Otra solución útil si tu servidor desecha demasiado los paquetes, algo que se puede notar mucho en una conexión remota (telnet, rlogin o ssh) es modificar el kernel para que no espacíe tanto el envío de datagramas TCP. El protocolo TCP dice que, si hay un error, tienes que enviar el siguiente datagrama X tiempo después con X incrementandose cuantos más errores haya para evitar situaciones de congestión. Sin embargo, y puedes dar las gracias a que tienes las fuentes del kernel, puedes decidir no seguir las recomendaciones del kernel y que el tiempo no se incremente. Podrías llegar a saturar un servidor (demasiado envío sin parada de datagramas por tu parte) pero en general funcionará bien... debo tener un patch por algún lado.. si alguien lo quiere que lo diga.

Re: Paquetes y dependencias en potato
Han Solo wrote: Tengo instalada una Debian potato, que voy acualizando casi a diario, y que funciona bastante bien, o por lo menos funcionaba bien hasta ayer tarde. Resulta que se han actualizado los paquetes de perl, y en algunos ha cambiado la organización lo que me ha creado un caos importante. Resulta que ha desaparecido el paquete perl del cual dependen algunas cosas importantes como el ssh. En principio el paquete perl (5.004) es un paquete vacío, que necesita el paquete perl5.004. El problema viene con la nueva versión de perl, la 5.005 que ya no trae ese paquete vacío, con lo que se quejan muchos otros paquetes de dependencias (para mí el ssh es fundamental). Supongo que bastaría con que perl5.005 marcara que provides (perdonádme la expresión) perl, pero el caso es que no lo hace con lo que cuanquier paquete que dependa de perl a secas, y no de perl= 5.004 no funcione. ¿Alguna sugerencia al respecto? Puedes crearte un paquete perl vacío tú mismo, de forma que desaparezcan esas dependencias. También puedes rehacer el paquete de perl5.005 para que indique el provides y mandar un mail al manteiner para que vuelva a colocar ese paquete vacío o el provides. Un saludo -- José C.

¿Cómo acceder a kernels y proyectos alpha?
Saludos. Gracias por la respuesta anterior sobre buscar ficheros dentro de los paquetes. Esta vez, por razones de programación y contribución al proyecto framebuffer para linux, necesitaría tener acceso a las últimas versiones alpha o en desarrollo tanto del núcleo como el proyecto framebuffer y GGI. Realmente en mi slink tengo versiones 0.9 de éste último, cuando ya van por la beta 2.1... El caso es que no sé de dónde puedo sacar los paquetes necesarios para trastear con las últimas versiones. He probado ir al Debian ftp, pero bueno, el ftp de españa está caído constantemente, y luego en los demás no encuentro el directorio o lugar de donde pueda bajarme los paquetes adecuados. ¿Hay alguna dirección centralizada para desarrolladores o personas que quieran acceso a las últimas versiones de todo tipo de software para linux?

Sparc vs. slink (minimal configuration)
I recently acquired some hardware being retired from work, including a genuine Sun SPARCstation 1+ and a 486 system, so I ordered copies of the slink distro from Linux Central. Installation went smoothly on the 486, but it's been a different story on the Sun. :-( First, the installation took from Sunday afternoon to Wednesday evening! Admittedly, whenever i went to sleep or work, and returned, it was usually (but not always) waiting for keyboard input, but still that seems rather excessively slow. Once the installation finished, the system was essentially unusable. After getting down into single user mode (which took quite awhile), it finally responded to a 'w' command (with nothing but the header, as expected), and time w gave the following values: 20.822 real 0.150 user 11.660 system Are these reasonable values for this hardware and the default slink kernel? Here's the values from cat /proc/cpuinfo before going to single user (typed in from notes): cpu:Fujitsu MB86900/1A or LSI L64831 SparcKIT-40 fpu:Weitek WTL3170/2 promlib:Version 2 Revision 2 prom: 2.9 type: sun4c ncpus probed: 1 ncpus active: 1 BogoMips: 24.88 vacsize:65536 bytes vachwflush: no vaclinesize:16 bytes mmuctxs:8 mmupsegs: 128 kernelpsegs:32 kfreepsegs: 0 usedpsegs: 47 ufreepsegs: 14 user_taken: 0 max_taken: 20 context:64064 flushes segment:631568 flushes page: 4251796 flushes Even while typing at the command prompt in single user mode, the system would pause and not echo the keyboard for several seconds at a time rather frequently. Switching between virtual consoles felt like it was working normally without any unexpected delay, but everything else felt *extremely* sluggish. The machine has 64MB of RAM with a 25MHz processor, and about 50MB of swap space allocated on the surviving original SUN0207 disk. (root occupies the rest of that disk.) /usr, /var, and /home are allocated in separate partitions on an external disk. Is this system just too old and slow to run Linux reasonably, or is there something pathological going on? It had been running SunOS 4.1.3_U1 (slowly but) steadily for the last several years. I can reinstall SunOS if I have to, :-( but would much prefer Linux if at all possible. :-) For what it's worth, my bedroom (aka the Computer Museum) is upstairs, and the temperature during the day is usually in the mid- to upper- 80's. That may improve if i can get a promised window unit.

I have ppp as a loadable module, isapnp and setserial both set to /dev/ttyS2 0x03e8/0x3e8 irq 5. this works fine and detects my modem ok. I can dial in to my isp (using wvdial) the first time after a reboot but once i disconnect, and after a time lapse of a few minutes the serial port seems to reset itself (i`ve looked at setserial -a /dev/ttyS2) to irq 4. In order to connect again i have to reboot. Does anybody know why this is. Please keep any explanations fairly simple :-) Paul Walton I had this same problem. I think it's because the serial driver automatically gets unloaded when it's no longer used, and then when it gets reloaded, it's reset. There are two ways I found around it: 1) Add a line that says serial to your /etc/modules file, so that the serial module gets loaded at startup and stays loaded. 2) Recompile the kernel with the serial driver compiled in (rather than as a module). - Kris

Dhcpcd startup order
Yesterday I installed slink on a computer which needed to get its IP address with DHCP and was also a NIS and NFS client. What I found out was that the DHCP client in slink immediately returned, and the NIS startup script wouldn't work because there was no IP address yet. NFS was even worse, becuase NFS filesystems are mounted in the rcS.d startup, before DHCP starts. I had to change the order the scripts run in. I had a similar problem with the shutdown order. I know that the IP address delay is fixed with the potato dhcpcd. But the startup order problem still exists. Also, the computer's hostname is based on its IP address -- dhcp114. I had to add a command to the netbase script to set the hostname to this value. This gets it to appear in the login prompt, but the motd is updated before DHCP or netbase starts so it says (none) where the hostname should be. I find it hard to believe that nobody has had this problem before -- am I stupid? Is there something I am missing? Thanks, Andy

I've been evangelizing mozilla ever since the code release, and now I can see it really beginning to live up to it's potential. I can't wait till it reaches beta! Just my 2c to encourage anyone involved in debian and mozilla - your work is MUCH appreciated. Stuart.

Re: PPPuzzles
That's the good news. The bad news is it just sits there, without so much as a prompt. Why would you want it to give you a prompt? What would you do with it if you got it? Once the ppp connection is up, it is just there for any application to use, just like an ethernet connection. The applications neither know nor care whether their packets are going out via ppp or over a LAN. I need to set up for e-mail and for actually getting on the net, but I don't know how. Try Netscape. The distribution includes packages like exim, elm-me+, and procmail, that are (I gather) supposed to do e-mail, but their manual pages seem to ignore how to make them interface with PPP, and nothing in all my PPP info tells me how either. That's because you don't need to interface them to ppp. Just install them and configure them and they will work. It's easier than it looks. -- John HaslerThis posting is in the public domain.

Windows tends to lie about this sometimes. Most computers already have ttyS0 and ttyS1 (com1 2) built in so an internal modem normally has to go on either ttyS2 or ttyS3 (com3 or 4) unless you've disabled one of the internal serial ports from your bios. I have to modprobe ppp every time I reboot else pon says the kernel lacks support for ppp. Also, I have to change the port the modem is on using setserial (from 0x02f8 to 0x100) else it won't enable the modem. Then i make sure isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf is running at startup. This doesn't sound good. Go back into isapnp.conf and choose a sane i/o addrss, here are the mappings: ttyS0 3f8 IRQ 4 ttyS1 2f8 IRQ 3 ttyS2 3e8 IRQ 4 ttyS3 2e8 IRQ 3 In your case it sounds like you should use 2e8 and irq3. There are sometimes reasons to use an unusual address or interupt but don't unless you know what your doing. Once you've finished setting up the isapnp.conf file try running isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf.

Re: multiple boot? win98, winNT, linux?
I believe the only way you can choose between Win98 and NT on the same partition is to use the NT partition manager. Fortunately, you can get the WinNT partition manager to boot linux as as option. copy the first 512 bytes of your linux partiton into a file ie: # dd if=/dev/sda3 of=somefile bs=1 count=512 copy that file into your root directory on your win98/nt partition then edit your boot config file and add the line c:\somefile=linux (sorry, I can't remember exactly what this file is called or the exactly format, I haven't done this in a while, but I believe its fairly obvious) set sda1 as the default partition to boot, reboot, and you should be able to boot linux from the NT partition manager.

poor fonts in Netscape - need more X fonts? xfs? resource setting?
Besides all the other problems I've been having with this unreliable piece of crap called Netscape (Communicator), I'm having problem with fonts that are scaled to a size where they are extremely blocky. What is strange is that if I change the font size preferences, the blocky fonts don't change at all. For example on http://www.etrade.com/, the text of the left-hand list of links (e.g., Stocks Optinos, IPOs, etc.) shows up in a very blocky font. (Everything else on the page shows up cleanly.) Changing either (or both) of the variable-width and fixed-width fonts sizes affects _nothing_ on that page. I thought that those settings set the screen font size to use to display default-sized (FONT SIZE=3, I think) HTML fonts, AND also adjusted the screen font sizes to use to display shrunken (e.g., FONT SIZE=2) and enlarged (e.g., FONT SIZE=4) HTML fonts. (That is, fonts shrunk from the default were displayed with a larger screen font, but it was still smaller than the now-larger screen font used for default-sized HTML text.) (This is currently with Communicator 4.08, but 4.61 and 4.51 seemed to be the same.) Are web sites increasingly screwing around with fonts in non-standard ways, or is something screwed up (or just not loaded right) on my machine? I think I have the normal X11 fonts installed on my system. Should that be enough? Or do I need special fonts? Do I need xfs? Is there anything else I need (besides an H-bomb to remove a number of these computer-related frustrations from my environment)? Daniel -- Daniel Barclay [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Hmm.

tftp problem with potato
Hi, after doing a new installation of debian potato on our server, i have a strange tftp problem: If i issue a tftp get command on a client, tftp hangs. If i do 'strace tftp', it works. Same if i strace in.tftpd on the server. Is this a weird timing problem? I use kernel 2.2.10, potato as of 12-JUL-1999. Other network functions seem to be ok.

Help! Mr. Potato killed my networking!
Help! I upgraded to potato a few days ago using dselect and I have been having problems. Here is the latest one (and worse one to date!) After the upgrade, I had two problems that dselect couldn't fix itself. #1 the gcc deb file would not load because of a conflicht with an old libg++. #2 setserial would not configure. Well, I found out via this list that I needed to remove the old libg++ deb to allow the gcc to install... No problem I think... The failure in the dselect config that referenced the setserial said that the modules needed to be rebuilt and to type update-modules force. Well, I did this and the setserial is now happy, Unfortunately, my system has lost all communications with the network! I am not sure the setserial did it, but it happend the first reboot after I did the two above changes to my system. I looked in my /var/log/kern.log file and found these differences before and after the reboot. The last line in this file has the line date systemname kernel: ne.c No PCI cards found. use io=0xNNN values for ISA cards. Prior to the problem (earlier in the file) I had the following: date systemname kernel: ne.c v1.10 9/23/94 Donald Becher (*email address*) date systemname kernel: NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x300 00 50 4e 03 8b d6 date systemname kernel: eth0: NE2000 found at 0x300 using IRQ 3 Does anyone have an idea of what I did? How can I get my networking re-activated? Thanks Doug Thistlethwaite

Aic-777x problems
Hi All I have a problem with Intel XPress Server. It is using Adaptec dual chanell SCSI controller aic-7770 EISA, BIOS revision 2.11 S3.

stop gnome-session to record xterms?
Hello, i have the folowing problem: i can't log graphically on my computer unless i log into it on the console and edit the .gnome/session file by hand, because it is full of calls to xterms in a way that lets the windowmanager crash before the setup of the windowmanager is complete, blocking the console for about 5min, wihtout any chance for me to get a hand on it further since the windowmanager doiesn't recored where the xterms where they all clutter on the first virtual screen, this is buggy a mess and far from what i want now reading the gnome doc, the control center is supposed to regulate this, but as it seems this is a rare case where the documentation is ahead of reality. so is there a way to stop gnome-session to record the session, or be able to use gdm without starting a gnome session? Thats another bug, i wanted to introduce gdm also on our server, but since this thing enforces use of gnome for all users its quite useless not everyone wants the big overhead of gnome -- ciao bboett == [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://inforezo.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett http://erm1.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett === the total amount of intelligence on earth is constant. human population is growing

Instaling slink on Compaq Deskpro
Hi everybody, I am trying to install slink on a Compaq Deskpro EN Series SSF. I am newcomer to Linux, so these questions might be trivial... 1. I have a 10GB hard disk, but cfdisk shows only slightly less then 8 GB total capacity. What's wrong? 2. What networking module should I select for the built-in ethernet adapter? The documentation that came with the machine does not contain any useful information. 3. Will XFree run with the built-in video adapter ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP 2X?
