¿Es esto un bug?
Hola: Cuando se hace una prueba de instalación de paquete con -no-act -i este no chequea que el páquete esté correcto, y no da errores. Con esto quiero decir que si el paquete está en mal estado esta prueba no lo detecta (por ej: que el paquete se haya bajado de la red a medias y esté roto). Me gustaría saber si esto se puede notificar como un bug del dpkg. Ya se que es hilar muy fino, pero viendo que existen bugs notificados de las páginas man que no están en el sistema, pues a lo mejor puede ser interesante.

Bueno este script es solo un apunte. No es muy fiable haz pruebas
primero. Se trata de obtener primero el listado de todos los ficheros
que hay en un directorio y usarlo como lista de ficheros a convertir.
Para convertir imagenes tienes la utilidad convert. Puesto que deseas
reducir el tamaño de imágenes GIF no uses la version de 'main' sino la
que viene en 'non-free' para poder trabajar con gifs comprimidos.
El script admite opciones de conversion y podras reducir número de
colores y tamaño. Las imagenes originales las mueve a un directorio
de seguridad. Bueno es un poco cutre pero te puede valer. No lo he usado
mucho y habría que perfeccionarlo bastante pero dado que pareces bastante
interesado te lo paso por si te ayuda a pesar de estar como está.

Sendmail 8.10.0.Beta6 (slated for experimental)
I've just replaced the subject on incoming so that the file
sendmail_8.10.0.Beta6.announce is in /usr/doc/sendmail.
This will be a `big` release, but *fortunately*, one that means you
don't need to anything other than rebuilding sendmail.cf (if
you've let the automagic crap run)!
Notes:
* IPV6 is *not* working properly on Linux, I've reported this
to the developers, and will keep the package updated as I get new
information/patches. In the interim, I've disabled IPV6.
* SASL isn't compiled in, my notes/temp package are at work ;-{
I hope to get this (SMTP auth) going ASAP.
* If you need/want to go back to 8.9.3, you *must* drain the mail
queue first; the queue files are *not* downward compatible!
There are some *very* nice enhancements wrt masquerading/genericstable,
include exclusion lists, and applying genericstable to an entire domain!
Please, filter any bugs through the BTS, or notes to me - I'll collect
and forward upstream through the beta mailing list.
Thanks, and have fun

Re: Can't boot from floppies - HELP!

Date: Fri, 22 Oct 1999 14:18:53 -0600 (MDT) I'm trying to boot from the Debian rescue disk to install linux for the first time. I have an adaptec AIC-7890 scsi card, so I was typing linux aix7xxx to boot. After the kernel loads, I get the following after the scsi driver loads: sda: sda1, sda2 sdb: sdb1 [MS-DOS FS Rel. ... [me=0x0, ... Transactions block size = 512 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00 *** Hey Jake... Just out of curiosity, where did the disks come from, and what kind of partition have you got on your hard disks now? On your Debian CD, or an FTP site, there should be a folder called Install (on my cd..) or something like that... (it is accessible from dos/win)...If your computer supports booting from the CD, I recommend that you do that. Otherwise, in the Install folder, there's a bunch of files, and some documents on how to make the boot floppy used for installation... If you are using those disks, then here's another idea... Make you a Dos, or Windows Boot Disk, then, from windows, copy the following files off of the install folder on the CDROM (ftpsite..) onto the floppy: boot.bat linux root.bin loadlin.exe Then boot off of your Dos/Windows boot disk, and then insert the disk that you put the listed files on... then run the boot.bat file Try that and see what happend ;) Hope This Helps, Brant Wells ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ps: Anyone reading this, please correct me, if there's an easier way to do this (grin)...

Looking for monitor sync settings
Sorry to keep posting on this subject. I have tried about 35 different combinations in xf86config, but I still cannot find what the monitor needs. Every time I run xf86config and then do startx I get a screen with screwed, flickering and unreadable characters. My monitor is a Micron m14fg During xf86config it says that I may find info on my monitor by reading /usr/doc/xserver-common/monitors.gz I do not know how to look at this file. I have run many searches on the internet including all over Micron's site but can find no info on this monitor. Also, Micron's tech department has not e-mailed me back. Does anybody have any suggestions? Do I want or need x on my computer? I am interested in running spreadsheet and database programs like star office or similar.

Re: Looking for monitor sync settings
During xf86config it says that I may find info on my monitor by reading /usr/doc/xserver-common/monitors.gz I do not know how to look at this file. cd to that directory, then type gunzip monitors.gz Then you can view the file. If you can't find any info on the monitor on the net, I sugest you start at the bottom and work your way up the settings. Like, choose most conservaative settings for hsync/vsync. Also, check the server you are running. What video card do you have? You could start with SVGA server, if your card is compatible with it. Do I want or need x on my computer?

Is it possible to get libc6 = 2.1 to run on slink? How/Where?
Hello, I'm not up to speed on libc6 at all. From what I can gather it is not just a regular package. I thought I had a HOWTO on this, but it turned out to be a libc5-libc6 upgrade document. A while back I tried to get enlightenment-conf up, and I believe it needed libc6 = 2.1 or some dependency did. In any case I've tried to find a newer libc6 with no luck. Last night I tried to get XF86 3.3.5.1 up, but it mentioned libc6 = 2.1 also. I also got the frame_register_buffer (?) error which may or may not be related. I'm glad I backed up /usr/X11R6 as suggested (in bold) in the install docs! In any case I would be love a pointer to some info on libc6, I'm very confused. Or a note stating that 2.1 is not possible on slink if applicable. Thanks and Happy Linuxing to all, John __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

slink minicom sez: already online; pls hangup
I upgraded my HP Omnibook 800 from hamm to slink a few weeks ago, and since then have been unable to use the version of minicom that's part of that dist. When I attempt to dial, it puts up an alert telling me You're already online; please hangup -- or words to that effect. When I moved my desktop from hamm to slink a few months ago I had no problems. 1.82 is the version of minicom that came with my slink. When I grepped the sources for the alert string (and several small parts of it) I couldn't find it. Finally, I went back to the hamm source disks and got the sources for minicom 1.75. The strings weren't there either -- but when I built that version of minicom it worked just fine. I'm using a pcmcia modem, but am not sure that it's the problem, as ppp still works fine over it.

EXIM settings for dialup.
Not sure if I should post here (but I'm running exim on a debian :)
So, I have a Debian unstable running exim 3.03, connecting to the
Internet through PPP without fixed IP. I have configured exim to
use smarthost(*) to send mail, performing address rewrite like
this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffr
And can send mail just fine (or else you can't see this)
However there is something stupid when I send mail to myself:
Address rewrite is performed even for local deliveries.
How can I disable this?
I guess I should disable address rewrite for everything
inside the directors. But... how?
Or am I plain wrong?
Should I disable address rewrites for everything, and
enable them only for the routers instead?
*) In fact I have more than one router. The smarthost router
runs only if the sender is me.
I does this through
condition = ${if eq [EMAIL PROTECTED] {yes}fail}
It works fine but is less then clean. Are there better configuration
options for this? From what I read in the spec this is the best?
( And that I am subscribed to the digest instead. Do I get
every single post, including this one and follow-ups for it? )

Re: trashing Netscape (was Netscape 4.71 Is Rock Solid Fast!)
If you want to install Communicator 4.7, do it by installing the packages via dselect (or apt). Before you start it in any account on your machine, though, mv your bookmarks, rm -r /home/yourusername/.netscape, and reinstall your bookmarks.html. Maybe that will help.

In both versions, I can expect Netscape to fairly consistently close every other time I open Netscape Navigator and then Netscape Messenger and put in my password. As soon as I enter my password, *boom*, Netscape closes. I fire it back up and repeat the sequence and life is good. After my session, I shut down Netscape (to free RAM and to prevent Netscape memory leaks), and the next time I repeat the process, I can expect the same results. Of course Netscape also closes whenever I hit a web site with badly configured Java. This has lead me to conclude that Netscape on Linux is consistently flakey.

I would suggest ssh over ssl telnet though, ssh 1.2.27 is very secure and has clients available for most platforms, but I think its simply less hassle to deal with then ssl as you don't have to deal with all that certificate crud. ymmv. as for ftp I think its a tossup between wu-ftpd 2.6.0 and proftpd, proftpd is supposed to be built from scratch with security in mind but it has proven to have just about as many problems as any other, the last couple wu-ftpd exploits existed in proftpd too, wu-ftpd also has some nice abilities (on the fly tarring and gziping) which proftpd claims introduce more security risks, maybe they are right but I have yet to see a recent exploit that involved those abilities and I find them very useful. debian appears to still have not packaged the final version 2.6.0 of wu-ftpd which fixes the latest exploits (redhat has a final 2.6.0 available on their errata, fixing all 3 of the issues reported on BugTraq) what other ftpds are available for GNU/Linux? (and/or debian packaged) am going to look at the OpenBSD ftpd and see what it can do, if it has not been done already I may try and get it to run on GNU/Linux, that would probably be the most secure one there is :-) Best Regards, Ethan Benson To obtain my PGP key: http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/pgp/

Package differences - bla_all.deb vs. bla.deb
What is the difference between the locales_2.1.2-5_all.deb package file and the locales_2.1.2-5.deb package file? I assume packages with a _i386 extention are specifically for the i386 architecture. That makes me think the _all package is for all architectures, but then what is the package without any extention for? Is there some place where I can see this kind of thing? I didn't notice it in the debian-policy documents. Maybe I didn't look in the right place? I would prefer a pointer to where I can get this information, so that I can easily get the complete information. I will not mind a direct answer though.

How can I adjustments GhostScript options for StylusColor device)?. early reply is better for me Sorry, I was away few days, so the answer is a bit late. with my best regards aboanber Ok, I assume you have the physical installation correct. 1. You have to have kernel with lp support (note that under 2.2.x kernels You have a bucket of features related with lp: parport, parport_pc, parport_probe etc, and under 2.2.x typical printer port is /dev/lp0 instead of /dev/lp1 under 2.0.x). 2. You should install the printer daemon and utils package (lpd or recommended lprng). This will provide the daemon and programs like lpr, lpc ,lpq, lprm. 3. Install gs and gsfonts packages (and gv if You want to have the viewer fo *.ps files). 4. Install magicfilter and suggested packages (dselect will tell You about suggested packages). These packages are user in input filters to convert some formats onto PostScript. Then, You will be allowed to print files of many formats, like $lpr foo1.ps foo2.pdf foo3.troff 5. Run #magicfilterconfig (#magicfilterconfig --force if it refuses to run because of already configured printers). This utility will show a brief example of values and ask You for some settings in loop for each printer: a) the full printer name (done ends the loop). b) short name (the spool dir will have this name). c) device path (see the note 1.). d) than magicfilterconfig prints the so-called input filters to be used - choose for example stylus_color_360dpi. I will explain the setting below. If You will follow these instructions, the magicfilterconfig will have filled the /etc/printcap file with chosen settings and created the spool directory and some control files inside for each printer. Now look into /etc/printcap.

Each virtual printer (their names are self-explanatory) maps onto the same physical printer. You can create more than one entry if You need different print settings and specify the -P printer_name in lpr command. So, You can see that the differences between virtual printers are the input filters. With magicfilter come only basic filters. I have copied stylus_color_360dpi-filter onto stylus_color_360dpi_mono-filter and stylus_color_360dpi_mono-filter and made some modifications to each.

boot and shutown both suddenly getting delayed
I've suddenly started experiencing long delays in both boot and shutdown. During boot it gets as far as mounting local file systems... not mounted anything. It then pauses for several minutes before finally continuing, after which the system seems to work normally. On running shutdown, it proceeds as far as sending the KILL message after which it again pauses for several minutes before continuing. The other symptom is that after all this the date gets set back to 1 Jan 1990. I know this is very bizarre; can anyone syggest what could have happened? I haven't changed any files that I can think of. If nothing else seems to work I may contemplate reinstalling to a free area of the hard disk, but that seems rather extreme.

During the install of Debian, you may or may not have been asked if you want to create the X configuration file; if for some reason that wasn't completed, the file won't be there. You can create one by running either xf86config or XF86Setup (notice the capitalization) or by simply creating it by hand (not recommended, especially by newbies, although editing by hand is perfectly reasonable). xf86config is text-based, whereas XF86Setup is a graphical setup and may feel a bit more comfortable, expecially if you're coming from a Windows world. If you don't get a workable file from one method, try the other.

I guess I should disable address rewrite for everything

Or am I plain wrong?
Should I disable address rewrites for everything, and
enable them only for the routers instead?

runs only if the sender is me.

Re: Why isn't my ftp working?
Take a look at /etc/inetd.conf for a line like: #ftp stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.ftpd If it shows up like that, delete the octothorpe (#) at the beginning of the line. This happened to one of my systems during an upgrade.

I actually wasn't able to do much. But I copied my slink config files over, and that helped most services. So could someone tell me where ftpd starts from?

Re: a2ps margins (solved)
Dave Thayer: N.B. this is for US letter size paper. Assuming that you are using european standard paper sizes in Sweden, you will need to look around for the corresponding medium commands for A4(?) paper. A4dj worked fine. And, yes, it's a DeskJet clone that I have, an Olivetti JP150W. Thanks also to David J. Kanter and Joe Bouchard -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/
compiling a KDE App (kdesu)
Hi hackers, normally i am using gnome/enlighenment, but for root-shells with X this system lacks some simple tool like kdesu, that does all this authorization-stuff. ok, with my old SuSE it was no problem either to install the package or to compile it by using ./configure and so on. Now, i do not manage to finde the correct settings for this script. The problem seems to be the qt. Of yourse, i installed the -dev packages. if i do ./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt1g, the linktest for a small KDE-application fails: ... checking for KDE... libraries /usr/lib, headers /usr/include/kde checking for extra includes... no checking for extra libs... no checking for KDE headers installed... yes checking for KDE libraries installed... configure: error: your system fails at linking a small KDE application! Check, if your compiler is installed correctly and if you have used the same compiler to compile Qt and kdelibs as you did use now config.log says why: ... configure:3993: g++ -c -O2 -Wall -I/usr/include/kde -I/usr/lib/qt1g/include -I/ usr/X11R6/include conftest.C configure:4001: checking for KDE libraries installed configure:4004: /bin/sh ./libtool --silent --mode=link g++ -o conftest -O2 -Wall -I/usr/include/kde -I/usr/lib/qt1g/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -s -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib conftest.C -lkdecore -lqt -lXext -lX11 -rpath /usr/lib -rpath /usr/X11R6/lib 15 /usr/lib/libqt.a(qpngio.o): In function od_read_fn(png_struct_def *, unsigned char *, unsigned int)': qpngio.o(.text+0x20): undefined reference to ng_get_io_ptr' qpngio.o(.text+0x57): undefined reference to ng_error' ... /usr/lib/libkdecore.so: undefined reference to ComboBox::insertItem(char const *, int)' /usr/lib/libkdecore.so: undefined reference to arkMagenta' /usr/lib/libkdecore.so: undefined reference to Dir::exists(char const *, bool) ' /usr/lib/libkdecore.so: undefined reference to Font::QFont(char const *, int, ok, lets add --with-extra-libs=/usr/lib/qt1g/lib -lpng because libpng seems to be missing. And maybe the path to /qt1g/lib is also not a bad idea. Well i get rid of the error-mesages concerning libpng, but qt is still missing: --config.log /usr/lib/libkdecore.so: undefined reference to ComboBox::insertItem(char const *, int)' /usr/lib/libkdecore.so: undefined reference to arkMagenta' /usr/lib/libkdecore.so: undefined reference to Dir::exists(char const *, bool) ' /usr/lib/libkdecore.so: undefined reference to Font::QFont(char const *, int, THe problem seems to be libqt2, that i also have installed. Ok, i remove the links libqt.so.2xx from /usr/lib and add explicitely libqt.so.1.44: ./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt1g --with-extra-libs=/usr/lib/qt1g/lib -lpng /usr/lib/libqt.so.1.44 The result is that i cannot compile the source ARRGH. pty.cpp:56: passing nt' to argument 2 of trcpy(char *, const char *)' lacks a cast pty.cpp: In method nt PTY::grantpt()': pty.cpp:125: implicit declaration of function nt grantpt(...)' pty.cpp: In method nt PTY::unlockpt()': pty.cpp:184: implicit declaration of function nt unlockpt(...)' make[2]: *** [pty.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/kdesu/common' Has anybody solved this problem, or some suggestions?
