Re: ¿No funcionan los acentos en el Netscape de Potato?
Han Solo wrote: 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? No, el problema es que no hay versión libc6 del 4.61. En vista de los bus error, el mantenedor del netscape decidió que la versión libc5 funcionaba mejor y sólo ha puesto la libc5, pero esta no soporta teclas muertas, ni tiene algo del soporte de locales ya incluido en la libc6. Del netscape 4.08 sigue habiendo versión libc6. Por un lado, espero que esto cambie pronto, pero dada la tradicional falta de sensibilidad del mundo anglo hablante hacia estos problemas (se comunicó esto como un bug en la 4.61, pero ha salido la 4.7 en las mismas), por otro sigo siendo un poco escéptico. La esperanza de que así sea es que el mundo japonés/chino/coreano está también que trina porque les han quitado de golpe el soporte de locales de la libc6. Yo desde luego personalmente prefiero algún bus error de vez en cuando, pero poder escribir acentos. Creo que en este asunto estamos siendo educados, mirando primero si hay un bug mandado y no repitiéndolo, pero parece que el número de bug reports repetidos sigue siendo un elemento para determinar qué debe ser solucionado y que no. Si no hay una solución a lo mejor debemos ser un poco más insistentes y dirigirnos al mantenedor comentándole que esto es un problema para nosotros, o apoyando algún bug-report con información adicional, para evitar duplicaciones.

HELP! Can't restore system after 1st ZIP afio archive
Hello, Perhaps there is an easier/better solution then kbackup/afio? Before I reinstall from scratch, I would appreciate advice, as it may be possible to get my system back I recently used the zdisk utility to successfully build a boot floopy, with my kernel that has support for my (imm) Zip drive, in the hopes of implementing a backup/restore strategy for my Debian slink system. I used kbackup to make a full backup, to 3 Zip disks. Of course to make sure I could restore, I wiped out my system partition, and am having problems restoring it (darn it!). The restore command specified in the kbackup documentation is a little confusing, as they use `` and '' for double quotes, and I am not sure if the - at the end next to verbatim is needed. It looks like the - is needed though, as the command does nothing without it. But the afio and multibuf help text mentions nothing about a - by itself. In any case, at the end of the first Zip disk, I get an error about end of medium. I have been trying many commands to try to start from the 2nd Zip disk, with no luck. There is only the KBackup-Arc.arc file on the 2nd Zip, unlike the 1st which as a header file, etc. To restore starting from the 1st Zip I am using the command : multibuf -r -h -F -c umount /mnt;echo Next Volume;read -C mount /dev/sda4 /mnt -t ext2 /mnt/KBackup-Arc.arc | afio -i -vzZ - Things start to be restored properly until the end of the 1st Zip. It then fails, errors about end of medium. I have been trying all sorts of commands to start at the second Zip, with no luck. There is a KBackup-Arc.arc on the 2nd Zip disk, but I don't know if it is possible to get the files back. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

debian installer and adaptec 2940
I recently downloaded the latest Debian and tried installing it. Unfortunately, it dies when it tries to initialize the SCSI bus (Adaptec 2940UW). After downloading the sequencer code, it says: Failed in WD-7000 initialization. It then reports 1 host (my Seagate 9 gig), and then it loops endlessly, getting SCSI diagnostic messages reporting responses of all zeroes. I'm assuming that WD-7000 is another scsi driver that it is getting confused into trying to init. I've already tried the special installer disks for adaptec users, but I get the same result. My system worked flawlessly with redhat for the past 4 years, until I finally got pissed off with all the crap that redhat keeps putting in their distrib and their hopelessly polluted filesystem.

Disk error! ACK!
I ran into this problem tonight and I'm trying to be very cautious so if anyone can give me (a semi newbie) some advice I'd appreciate it. Here's what happened. I used CFDISK to re-designate a extra partition on my hard drive from BeOS type (it wasn't being used at all) to Windows95 Fat 32 so that I could expand some room for my win95 (games ya know). Rebooted and went directly to windows, formatted, ect. When I rebooted to Linux I received a number of errors regarding the /dev/hda5 drive (my /usr directory) that is 2 gigs in size. The errors went something like this: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,5): ext2_check_blocks_bitmap: Block #227 of the inode table group 57 is group. (I think this is the correct error) It recommends I run fsck manually. After altering the fstab so that /usr wasn't mounted right away i tried to run fsck /dev/hda5 and received a message that stated /dev/hda5 has illegal blocks (a number here), clear? y I'm cautious about clearing some illegal block for fearing I'll lose data or what not. Can anyone fill me in on what's happening or will I lose data or what not? I have too much there to not be concerned :) Thanks Jon

Yet the postscript files are much tailored for a letter paper size so that they have very narrow right margin on an a4 paper size. IMHO it decrease their usability with a4 paper size by a large factor. Do you think that this is a sufficient reason to put an a4 postscript version on the net ? I think it does, but having no address of my own I need someone to take the a4 files I have made and host it on his site. Since the original docs are kept unchanged for more then 10 years, I think it is only a matter of put it on your ftp area and forget it.

However, if you have enough disk space you can just use tar and split to make a splitted (and gzip'd) tarfile in /tmp, and then just copy the splits to your zipdisk. This requires some extra disk space but makes life rather easy so you could do cd /tmp tar -cvf- /home | split --bytes=90m - home.tar. This will tar /home and pipe the result to split which creates files of 90 MB each. Now you will have in /tmp/ a set of files named home.tar.aa, home.tar.ab, etc. and you copy each of these files to a seperate zipdisk To restore the system you first restore the tarfile by cat /zip/home.tar.aX /tmp/home.tar for each zipdisk (be careful to use the right order or you'll be in serious trouble) Then you can simply do cd / tar xf /tmp/home.tar to restore your homedir Have fun, Wouter

debian installation woes
I did the installation for debian, but it failed miserably. It did the initial install, but it crashed every time I rebooted, so I booted from the boot disk I created. Once I did that (it took about 15 minutes to read the kernel from the floppy), it went to the main installer thing. I selected the developer option with extra bits (I selected it because it included perl, but it looks like it included absolutely every language ever made). It took me to the dselect screen, but I couldn't figure out how to select and deselect packages so I just left it as it was. Once I'd fluked and managed to exit (q, Q, x, and ESC only seem to do something on specific screens, so I had to go in and out of a bunch of screens before it would let me exit), I got to the screen that lets me start the actual installation phase. Unfortunately, halfway through the installer one of the scripts returned with an error. When I selected install again, it went past it, but it failed in some configuration section. I don't know what went wrong because it scrolled a few screens full of stuff past. After that, every time I selected install, it ran through all the packages and then returned with anotehr script error. When I selected exit, it said my system was installed and ready to go, so I logged in and tried running some programs, but they all failed because they couldn't find any shared libraries.

[... description ...] I wrote a little program that can do this without intermediate storage: MSPLIT(1) Dividing output over multiple volumes.MSPLIT(1) NAME msplit - a utility to divide output over multiple flop pies, zip disks, etc SYNOPSIS command | msplit mount dir output DESCRIPTION This manual page describes version 0.2 of msplit. Msplit reads data from the standard input (usually a pipe), and writes it to files named output.num, where num is an increasing number, in a directory on which a removable medium can be mounted. Typical uses will be to distribute data over multiple floppies or zip disks. You should not mount anything before running the command. Msplit will ask the user to insert the removable volume, and try to mount it with the command `mount mount dir'. Then it will open a file named output.0, and write until there is no more input or the volume is full. If the lat ter case applies, msplit will umount the directory, ask for another volume (usually a disk), mount it, and start writing output.1. This process continues until there is no more input. Note that msplit does not erase any data found on the disks, it only adds to them. This makes it more flexible than using regular split(1). Another advan tage above split is that no intermediary files are cre ated. The current version also lists the contents of the mounted volume, and offers the possibility to erase everything. Restoring without intermediate files could also be done with a procedure like this (and this applies also to archives made with regular split): Open an xterm, and do $ mkfifo tarfile $ tar xvf tarfile Open another xterm, and supposing you have used msplit and generated files named backup.0 .. backup.2 on different zip disks, do something like (this assumes you use bash) $ exec 3tarfile insert first zip disk $ mount /zip; cat /zip/backup.0 13; umount /zip insert second zip disk $ mount /zip; cat /zip/backup.1 13; umount /zip insert third zip disk $ mount /zip; cat /zip/backup.2 13; umount /zip $ exec 31 Be sure to do this from the right directory. In between the cat commands you can give any commands you like, but make sure to cat the backup files to file descriptor 3 in the right order! If I get around it, one day I will write `mcat' which automates this procedure and complements msplit.

Runtime kernel parameters configuration
When I was configuring kernel 2.2.13 (make menuconfig) I was looking for IP: always defragment (CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG) and I couldn't find it. It had to be somewhere because its required for masquerading. Then it hit me, some kernel options are moving to /proc/sys/* and can be configured at runtime. For example, to enable up forwarding you can do: # echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward or # sysctl -w net/ipv4/ip_forward=1 (I prefer sysctl...) And yes, CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG was moved to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_always_defrag Here is the silly question: Where are all /proc/sys/* options described???

Kernal Upgrade and WINE questions
I am running slink with kernal 2.0.34 and am thinking about upgrading to kernal 2.2.10 (I have seen posts about problems with 2.2.11 and 2.2.12, no news, yet on 2.2.13). I don't have any dire need to upgrade, so I'm not sure if it is a good idea, or just wait until potato is upgraded to stable and get the new kernal then. Also, while looking through potato, I noticed that there is finally a new version of wine up. Has anyone used this version yet? I tried wine a while back and could not get it to work well, at all. Now that I have WP8 installed, wine is not quite so important, but there are a few other Windoze programs which I would like to be able to use if wine will work well with them. Pegasus Mail is the major hitch here. I use XFMail, but my wife still boots up Win 3.1 in order to be able to use Pegasus. If wine will run Pegasus, I would probably use it, too. XFMail has a tendancy to frequent crashes (but nothing else under Linux gives me problems like this). I would also like to be able to use Quattro Pro 5.0 under wine. Would I need to upgrade to potato to use this version of wine? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Marc Shapiro http://www.bigfoot.com/~m_shapiro/ -- Linux IS user-friendly.

In particular, i wouldn't bother to compile 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12, just do the patching. I haven't yet done any patching - after spending some time reading and trying to understand things, I was suddenly confronted with two problems I'd been unaware of:- a. my Internet connection could not be made. b. I could not mount my floppy as previously. Additionally, when I tried to implement Sound, I couldn't. I've spent five days trying to sort these out myself - it's the best way to learn so far as I'm concerned. I thought I was getting a little knowledge of things - that now seems over-optimistic. re a. I normally use SuSE (or RedHat) for Internet connection - mail folders etc are on one or the other. The connection on Debian was OK with 2.0.36, and I did use Lynx for text browsing. I've been waiting to get hold of Pine and perhaps Netscape before moving things over. Wvdial sometimes connects starts pppd and immediately says 'ppp daemon has died (exit code = 1)'. On another occasion when I know the lines were busy it picked this up and said 'try again later' At other times it produces lines of 'machine code', ( I guess talking to my ISP's machine) then aborts. Kern.log says the kernel is not compiled for ppp (I've not used any modules). All the files seem OK to me, /peers/provider, resolv.conf, /chatscripts/ provider, /hosts, /host.conf and /pap-secrets (although this has 'one' immediately above my username * password, which I haven't noticed before). /ppp/options contains only 'lock' and 'debug', whilst /peers/ wvdial is OK as is the wvdial configuration. My limited experience indicates, therefore, it must have to do with the kernel - but what? I enabled 'networking support' which seems the only relevant option. I've re-run 'make config' (good experience for a new- comer) and found nothing helpful. The other distributions connect without difficulty, so presumably it is not hardware. re b. I did think I understood how to mount /floppy. Obviously wrong! Is there a file somewhere to list kernel enabled filesystems? If I edit /etc/fstab to include '/dev/fd0 /floppyext2noauto,user 0 0', mount /floppy gives me 'wrong fs, bad option, bad superblock or too many mounted fs'. If I change 'ext2' to 'auto', I get 'you must specify the fs type'. The latter according to what I've read should work and make for a short command-line. In the kernel I enabled all the fs I'm likely to need. What stupidity assails me? I don't regret the time spent trying for answers - merely my inability to get them. When I do get ppp working and go for patching, are there any apart from 8 to 12 incl that do not need to be compiled (between 2 and 13 that is?). If you do have the time to help I shall be grateful.

Hi, I think that we need to know at least something about your hardware specifications, please. Then maybe something about partitions you created. Otherwise it will be quite impossible to know, what went wrong. hv [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null = __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: hwclock, date, and utc
On 02 Nov 1999, Michael Perry wrote: Greetings- I have two debian systems; one is a desktop running slink which I changed to utc on the bios and set localtime on the system with no problems. I only run Linux so there are no problems with this. On my Fujitsu Lifebook laptop, I can reset things using the hwclock commands and then set the system date but it does not stick through a reboot. I have changed the utc setting in /etc/default/rcS also as suggested in that file. The laptop is a potato system. Have you got APM compiled into the kernel? If so it resets the clock whenever you reboot. Recompile the kernel without APM.

Re: IP---Domainname---OtherDomainname
To further simplify, I am stuck with a _public_ domain (a static one) delegated for a DSL connection. We'll call it static.domain.name.net. I want to exchange traffic for mymachine.domain.net (I own domain.net). There is only one IP address, and this is one potato box that is running bind.
