[Off-Topic] Aula de Informatica
Antes que nada perdon por el off-topic, pero creo que a muchos os interesara esto: Os anuncio que el Aula de Informatica e Internet de La Isleta (Isla Canarias) ya es una realidad. Esta semana hemos realizado el traslado de los equipos y la proxima empiezan las clases de iniciacion a la informatica. Esto viene a cuento porque esta montada con Debian Gnu/Linux 2.1 en todos los equipos, y por agradecer a aquellos que han echado una mano cuando se ha necesitado. Dentro de las actividades extraescolares ofrecidas por la Asociacion de Madres y Padres del Colegio Publico Galicia ahora se ofrecen clases de iniciacion a la informatica para los mas pequeños, donde podran desde utilizar el lenguaje de programacion LOGO, hacer su propia pagina web para incluirla en la pagina web del aula, enviar correos electronicos al Consejero de Educacion, o hacer competiciones con el netmaze. Contamos con siete ordenadores procedentes de donaciones y prestamos, una impresora, un modem, red local y se han configurado (o lo haremos en un futuro no muy lejano) los servicios de servidor de comunicaciones, servidor web, servidor de impresion, servidor de base de datos, servidor de ficheros para el /home, correo electronico para cada alumno, conexion a traves del puerto paralelo a un portatil con CDROM, y... yo que se. ¡Y todo esto con un gasto en cifras redondas de unas 6.000 ptas! Bueno, lo mejor es que se pasen por aqui. Estan invitados a visitar nuestra pagina http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/calc/523 y desde aqjk ofrecemos nuestro apoyo a todos los que quieran hacer algo similar. Agradecemos infinitamente a Union Electrica de Canarias la colaboracion prestada, sin la cual nada de esto hubiera sido posible.

Pue eso, en una potato que tengo en el trabajo, he instalado El Communicator 4.61 y resulta que ahora no funcionan los acentos. Antes teía el 4.08 y sí que funcionaban, pero lo he actualizado porque fallaba más que una escopeta de feria (no el clásico problema del java/javascript, sino al conectarse al servidor para bajar el correo cascaba miserablemente). Hasta donde yo sabía, a partir de la versión 4.06 los acentos funcionaban perfectamente, pero ahora parece que algo ha cambiado. ¿Hay que retocar algo en la configuración, o es que directamente no funcionan los acentos en esa versión? -- Un Saludo Han Solo The Rebel Alliance Conecto, luego existo.

Problema con la Debian policy
Hola a todos.
Necesito imprimir la Debian policy, y estoy intentando hacerlo a partir del
fichero policy.sgml, pero me está dando mucha guerra.
Lo primero que he hecho es intentar convertirlo a LaTeX con sgml2latex
policy.sgml, y la primera respuesta es que no encuentra el fichero
/usr/lib/sgml-tools/dist/debiandoc/latex2e/mapping. Explorando, descubro que
es directorio /usr/lib/sgml-tools/dist/debiandoc/ debe ser un enlace a
/usr/lib/sgml-tools/dist/sgmltool (viendo que linuxdoc es un enlace a ese
directorio). ¿un pequeño bug tal vez? Bueno, eso no tiene mayor importancia.
Intento convertirlo a LaTeX por segunda vez y me da lo siguientes errores:
$ sgml2latex policy.sgml
Processing file policy.sgml
/usr/bin/nsgmls:OSFD0:4:45:E: cannot find version.ent; tried
version.ent, /usr/lib/sgml/version.ent, version.ent, ./version.ent
/usr/bin/nsgmls:OSFD0:42:24:E: general entity version not defined and no

default entity
parse_data: no entity map for ©'
parse_data: no entity map for '
parse_data: no entity map for '
parse_data: no entity map for '
no obstante crea el fichero policy.tex. A partir de aquí comienza el
calvario. Al procesar el policy.tex para crear el dvi y el ps, se queja de
muchos errores de sintaxis. A las bravas, retoco el archivo tex moviendo de
sitio el comando \begin{document} y consigo que lo procese no sin otro buen
montón de errores, todos referidos a las direcciones de e-mail que define en
la cabecera y a las urls. Al final, obtengo el policy.dvi, pero faltan todas
las urls y las direcciones de e-mail, y en muchos sitios aparecen caracteres
que no deberían, como por ejemplo
/usr/doc/{}package-name{}/copyright (see ?? () for details).
De momento me vale, pero me gustaría saber por qué falla. Pasan cosas
parecidas si convierto a html.
Naturalmente tengo el paquete debiandoc-sgml instalado, y no creo que sea
problema de LaTeX ni se sgml, pues he convertido otros *.sgml sin problemas.
Por cierto, mi distribución es slink.

Re: BUG
hi, your problems sound like you may actually have some broken hardware, more than a problem with debian. in my personal experience of using debian since august 1996 the only time it has ever gone wrong on a stable release is when the hardware of the computer i was using was broken somehow (bad ram, scsi controller, motherboard or whatever). i'd suggest finding some hardware diagnostic software to see what's up (eg. Microscope or something like it). it's also possible that you have a misconfiguration which is causing different components of your box to try and use the same resources, which can result in unpredictable behaviour. as far as the 3com card, what model is it (ie 3c590, 3c509, or whatever)? the kernel supports most modern as well as more ancient cards very well -- this message reached you via a 3c590. regards, -thomas On Sat, 30 Oct 1999, raymond ferrari wrote: From: raymond ferrari [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 17:21:36 -0700 Subject: BUG I am utterly disappointed.

This link is to the xBSD general repository which I mistakenly thought was the openBSD repository. The ProFTP program is part of the general repository. Sorry for the confusion. That's probably the OpenBSD specific ports you're referring to. The security status of them is a little hazy to me, since I haven't seen anything which states they've been audited for security like the base OpenBSD has, but I can't say for sure they haven't been, either. I also assume this means that openBSD is more secured as long as what you need comes with openBSD as part of their closer reviewed distribution. Installing anything else would presumably cause the same bugs under openBSD as it would under freeBSD. This is true, your security will only be as strong as the weakest software you have running... OpenBSD actually comes with an FTP daemon (which is used as the basic ftpd for Debian, it used to be part of the netbase package), I don't think it's as feature-filled as ProFTPD, but it's presumably a lot more secure. openBSD code review must have been quite an impressive effort to say the least... I think it took them about 1.5-2 years all up, with the majority of the problems being found and fixed in the first 6 months.

Re: files with extension tar.bz2
Of course the price you pay is a 25-50% performance hit(highly dependent on the CPU MHz). Personally I only bzip things that I don't often use, as the increased decompression speed of gzip is worth the small loss of compression capacity.

toggle xdm off? // and more other questions
hi, after another re-installation of slink, upgrading potato and struggling with all kind of settings and tunings, finally things are getting better and better. Meanwhile, still have puzzles need to be solved: 1. apt-get is really cool. However, upgrading is still upgrading. I did not expect painless and did get some problem. i.e. the X could not be up and said missing fixed fonts. I got same problem in Redhat before. Most likely, it's caused by upgrading when X is running. So, I reinstall xfree3.3.5 related packages. Sure, a lot of errors. However, I learned an option --force-configure-any for dpkg and it finally set misc fonts right. My question is: is it safe? Does it break anything? (--force is a little scary) 2. I am going to recompile wmaker manually. will it hurt deb database? 3. Normally, I like to start X manually. Unfortunately, xdm on debian always try to run X on first. I tried to change mode to 3 in inittab, but it's still there. 4. regarding sound, I had to use makedev to make device in /dev. Is it common with debian? 5. I am still newbie with sendmail. It's now ok to send out emails. However, it does not know how to deliver mail to local user. I have /etc/hosts including localhost(127.0.0.1) and rg(10.0.0.1) -- I use it as my host name. I guess it's causing trouble. what's the best way to set it up? (ppp is the only network connection.) Thousands thanks to those already helped me and you who are going to. Appreciate it. jack

This also seemed to affect my win95 which has been working great under Linux control. Hasn't crashed once, or further, would actually shut down properly. How about that. There is obviously a bug in this part of debian. Someone should look at it. Or is there a patch for this. The Debian/GNU Linux distro.. I got at the Linux World Expo in San Jose in August, '99.

Please help? I still net to get the information for the 3com ethernet card. Where do you guys suggest. Thanks. Ray Ferrari Twice in one day really makes me suspect a hardware problem. I don't understand what you mean when you say win95...has been working great under Linux control. Unless you're running VMWARE or a similar app, Windows doesn't run under Linux's control (LILO may control the decision of what OS to boot, but once the decision is made one OS doesn't have any control over the other). The problems you've had getting X running, and now your 3com card, make me suspect that your original install didn't go as smoothly as it should have (for whatever reason). Although this next idea is a child of the Windows mentality, you might want to redo the install from the beginning. A more experienced person would fix the problem rather than reinstall, but a newbie from the Microsoft world might find a reinstall both educational and helpful. Of course, if the reinstall goes as roughly as the first install, you'll have lost ground because you'll have to refight the war to get X working. Assuming you want to continue fixing rather than doing a reinstall, let us know what 3com card you have; maybe someone on the list can help you out. What I'd suggest, if you have the resources, is to continue fighting this machine (rather than doing the MS-mindset reinstall), and to find 3 or 4 other boxen to install Debian on, just so you can get the experience. Of course, finding several machines to tinker with may not be an option. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

(i would guess longer fsck times but that is less annoying then running out of inodes...) There's a space overhead for each inode and a time overhead every time you access one. also what about the larger block size, I imagine this is faster but how much space is really wasted on average by the larger block size? There's one inode per block, so block size is a function of the number of inodes. Basically, what you have is a tradeoff between the overhead of having small blocks and the wasted space from large blocks. In most cases it won't matter much if you use larger blocks - normally, there are enough large files to mean you won't be wasting too much space - but sometimes it does (eg, with a traditional news spool). -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFShttp://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/ pgp4AsvZr8kjT.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Wvdial and non-root access
Only root is able to use wvdial, even though I thought wvdial has been set up for use by non-root users. was wvdial set up for this by yourself, or by the wvdial install program? When I, as user david, type wvdial, I get an error that david cannot have access to /dev/ttyS1. That's better than before, when david couldn't access the wvdial.conf file. My solution to this is to restrict the access to the wvdial executable and make it suid. This isn't technically the safest way of doing it but I'd rather have a simple solution I can keep track of, rather than a complicated solution that I can't. I also have a suid wrapper to 'kill pidofwvdial' available so that any user in the appropriate groups can take the modem offline no matter who put it online. I just set up ppp on my slink workstation yesterday, and I used sudo to avoid setting scripts suid (although pppd installs as suid root). Even though I'm using pon/poff, I'll bet sudo can solve your problem, too, if suid scripts give you the feeling. I never used sudo before, but I found it intuitive and flexible and IMHO it would be easier to maintain than keeping track of suid scripts.

I have installing programs from scratch, and I found out that many of the program versions that are needed for v2.2 which are in the potato distribution need libc6 2.1 in order to run. I was just wondering if somebody had made a version of them that runs with libc6 2.0. Something like netbase_3.12-2_i386, which is from potato but is compiled to run ok on slink. -- p.
Re: cron.d
Attila Csosz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Which file is responsible to start programs from cron.d? /etc/inittab ? (or..?) After what a period will the programs start from this location? They're started by cron itself. From 'man cron': cron also reads /etc/crontab, which is in a slightly dif ferent format (see crontab(5)). Additionally, cron reads the files in /etc/cron.d; see the DEBIAN SPECIFIC section below for more details. They're crontab files, which means that they contain the information that cron uses to decide how often to run them. - Debian 2.1 Linux / 2.2.9 / qmail - I had some trouble with 2.2.9. You should probably upgrade to 2.2.10 (which has a good reputation) or 2.2.13 (the latest stable kernel). -- Greg Wooledge| Truth belongs to everybody.

RE: Re: sound problems: what next?
Dear Jonathan, Well, I very much appreciate your help, but I've managed to make the situation worse, possibly as a result of misinterpreting your directions... I've loaded the modules (using modconf) per your specifications with two deviations: Awe-wave was still claiming to be unable to locate the AWE device so I passed it the same parameter that you had suggested for the opl3 module, which made the module load suucessfully. This caused even more problems down the road (I'll talk about them later). Next, soundcore sounded pretty important, so I loaded that on the tail end of the process, which was probably a bad idea (though the results still seem to be the same). Anyway, here are the results of my changes: --- sound Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.13/modules.dep sb Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.13/modules.dep Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 SB 4.16 detected OK (220) SB16: Bad or missing 16 bit DMA channel soundlow Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.13/modules.dep awe_wave Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.13/modules.dep SoundBlaster EMU8000 (RAM0k) Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.13/modules.dep modprobe: insmod * failed An important note: I had to hit ^C to get the boot process past its attempts to load awe-wave, which I'd interpret to mean that the explicit passing of the MIDI device location (which is what I assmue the address was for) was a bad idea. In any case, I still get the bad DMA channel message, so I'll need to try something else ;-) You had mentioned that the problem may be isapnp-related. I've just updated my isapnp tools and made a new dump file (which I've attached). The only difference seems to be that isapnp reports on used IRQs when it executes... I am totally unfamiliar with isapnp (I run it and cross my fingers, basically), so I'm not sure if it's set up correctly. It does report finding a board, and since the sb card is my only isa pnp device, I assume that was what was found. My next stab at the problem will be to try my isapnp.conf from my Mandrake partition. Any more suggestions would be welcomed ;-) Thanks, -Chris __ FREE Email for ALL!

Potato: MAKEDEV doesn't recognize ht device
Greetings, I have an ide tape drive that I know works (had it running in slink) with linux. I recently did a complete install of potato from scratch, using slinks bootfloppies. I have a custom 2.2.10 kernel with the ide tape support compiled in. when I run MAKEDEV update it horks on ht with /sbin/MAKEDEV: don't know what ht is /sbin/MAKEDEV: don't know what ht is ht is listed in /proc/devices and both of my ide channels are listed in /proc/interrupts. I am at a loss. Can some one please point me in the right direction so that I can recover some of my old stuff? Thanks in advance. -- Frisco Rose By any other name, I would smell the same E.O.U.
