Re: como se activa el /dev/dsp
Quoting 31 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: tengo una awe64, y antes, con los kernels 2.0, funcionaba, pero ahora con los 2.2, ya no lo hace y activo exactamente lo mismo que antes menos la opcion del kernel /dev/dsp, porque no viene con las opciones. El kernel, hace la inicializacion del sonido, pero luego si hago un cat /dev/sndstat en la parte de Audio devices no trae nada, y el dispositivo /dev/dsp cuando se tiene que utilizar da la respuesta Operacion no soportada por el dispositivo.

X-window y Staroffice
Hola Linuxeros Os quería comentar un par de dudas En la parte de consola tengo configurado el teclado bastante bien, esto es, las cosas están en su sitio. Por el contrario bajo las X no lo están ni el cierre de llaves } ni otras cosas. Creo que esto es cuestión de decir al fichero de configuración del Xfree cuál es el teclado real pero no sé muy bien cuál es la solución. ¿Alguna idea? Otro asunto es la instalación de Staroffice. Me pide cantidades inmensas, en torno a los cien megas, de memoria RAM, y de swap para instalarse, incluso para partes separadas del programa. ¿Es esto lógico? Si es así es más exigente que el otro office, el del evil. Gracias como siempre por vuestra ayuda Hasta pronto. Diego

Modo Suspend del monitor ...
Ando en Potato... Ultimamente me está pasando una cosa muy curiosa y me temo que sea debido al mal funcionamiento de algún programa. Lo que me ocurre es lo siguiente: Cuando el modo de ahorro de energia se activa, hace que mi monitor (AcerView 76c) se ponga en modo suspendido. Si pulso una tecla o muevo el ratón, normalmente el monitor vuelve a activarse. Sin embargo, si pasan unas horas desde que se activa hasta que lo intento despertar, resulta que el monitor no se vuelve a activar. La única manera de conseguirlo es apagando y encendiendo el monitor... ¿Alguien más ha notado un comportamiento similar ?

Foro sobre Debian
Hola a todos, Como muchos ya sabeis, como parte del II Congreso de Hispalinux se va a celebrar un foro sobre Debian. A el estais invitados todos los que esteis interesados en esta distribucion. Se espera que acudan varios desarrolladores, y podremos vernos las caras y charlar un rato. El Congreso es en la Universidad Carlos III, en el campus de Leganes. El foro sobre Deibain esta previsto para el viernes 5, a las 20:15, en el aula de grados. Pero pregunta alli mismo, por si hay cambios de ultima hora. El plan es hablar de las cosas que nos interesen, pero propongo una lista tentativa: . Congelacion de potato. . Admision de nuevos desarrolladores. . Traduccion de las paginas Web. . Documentacion en espanol. . Paquetes de localizacion para espanol . Como realizar paquetes para Debian. . El futuro de Debian. Si alguien quiere realizar alguna presentacion sobre un tema concreto relacionado con Debian (tiene que ser corta), por favor, que me envie un mensaje o me busque en el Congreso. Si os traeis vuestra clave PGP/GPG, seguramente un desarrollador os la podra firmar. En paralelo a este foro, se esta montando una quedada, que aun no me queda claro si es el viernes o el sabado, pero seguro que en breve nos dan detalles. Teneis informacion detallada sobre el Congreso, incluyendo como llegar, alojamientos, hoirarios, etc. en http://congreso.hispalinux.es En fin, a ver si nos vemos muchos por alli. Que sea leve, Jesus.

Re: Does anyone use ZIP disks to backup/restore their system? How?
Hi, I do not understand everything in the MSPLIT description, but I am certainly willing to play around with it. I'm surprised at the few responses I got about my question. I assumed lots of people would be using ZIP disks for a backups/restores. This leads me to ask if most people just backup their important files on linux, and if they lose their system, they reinstall from scratch, then restore just their important (user modified) files? This is how I always worked on Windows 95. If I had a builtin CDROM, and linux was easier to install I might opt for this, but on my Thinkpad 560, it took me 4-5 hours to get everything back. I still don't understand why I trashed my hard disk areas outside of the /dev/hda5 partition, when trying to use cpio directly to try to restore from the KBackup-Arc.arc files on my ZIP disks, that multibuf and afio had problems with.

I would really appreciate any advise on this subject, from anyone who has successfully restored a system from a multi-volume set. I've heard taper can work with zipdisks. 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. [... 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. Personally I use msplit mostly for floppies, so it is in general not impossible to store the intermediate files. If anyone is interested in `msplit' I can email it to them. If anyone feels like putting it in a debian package I'll tack on a GPL licence and you can go ahead. Of course there are no warranties ... -- E.L.

Help: configuring exim as a smart host
I'm trying to configure exim to act as a smarthost relay for my network. I've read through the html documentation for exim, set what look like the right options, but I still don't get any relaying. On the client machine I get a 'permission denied' and a 'lookup failed in smarthost router', and the smarthost shows nothing in its log. I know this problem has been brought up before on the list. I've tried searching the list archives, but I'm not getting anything coming up there. Could someone point me to a howto that explains how to set up exim as a smarthost, that's easier to read than the HTML documentation, or possibly talk me through it? BTW, the smarthost is running slink (2.1r3) and the clients are mostly running potato at various snapshots. -- Ferret no baka

xserver-3dlabs - libc6 (slink vs. potatoe)?
I'm trying to get x configured and I have a Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro card. This requires xserver-3dlabs_3_3_5-1.deb, but when I downloaded and tried to install that package, it was not configured due to dependencies on more recent versions of libc6 and xserver common. These new versions of libc6 and xserver common appear to be only available in potatoe, while my base installation is in slink. I'd like advice on the following questions: 1) If I install the newer versions of libc6 and xserver common, will this allow for the installation of the 3dlabs package? 2) Is it not a great idea to update the libc6 package, without installing the rest of potatoe? 3) If this is a bad idea, is there an alternative way for me to get x configured for this card?

installation and such
I'm pretty much now at the give-up point in trying to install debian. This is indeed a very hard thing for me to do, since I used to install 68k bsd systems manually (building scripts to mknod all the devices and such). I have now downloaded the ENTIRE debian tree, hoping that would help, but all I've done is waste download time. If I select update and then try to install, it looks for dpkg-perl part 1 and then fails when it can't find it (it says I am looking for version of dpkg-perl - i.e. there is something seriously screwy with the script). If I don't select update, it installs a bunch of the programs that were selected, but it fails in the configuration phase of a bunch of them (this happens even when I select a basic setup such as workstation-std in the quick-select program). This is now my 6th attempt at installing debian. I have so far not made it past the dselect phase even once. All I want to do is install a base system with tcp-ip and ipx networking, dhcpcd, X, and a basic window manager, so that I can go and get the latest kde, run some kind of GUI package manager, and then install any other things as I need them. I have no need for sendmail, ftpd, httpd, emacs, tex, and just about 98% of the other stuff that seems to get installed anytime you select anything besides the base install. Is there any way I can do this with Debian, or should I be seeking a different distribution? = __ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com
RE: Does anyone use ZIP disks to backup/restore their system? How?
Yet another recommendation for backing up system configuration only. I guess we should be keeping root log files which we use to describe when and what we changed. That way, when we break something, it is easier to backtrack. Use this to tell changed files in the OS and back those up only. Another way I use is to copy a file to .org whenever I modify it for the first time. I.e. exim.conf would copy to exim.conf.org. Then use locate and find all of the .org files. These files are not real useful in themselves. Instead back up the corresponding non-.org file (I.e. exim.conf). I just copy the files to a user home directory and FTP them to another machine for backup. This is a potential security issue due to the ease of FTP access, but on my isolated network it's no problem. If it is an issue, you could tar, compress and encrypt if it is worth the trouble. This must be done manually, but only needs to be done when you change the configuration. paul -Original Message- From: E.L.

Install of Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 on IBM ThinkPad 600E
I want to install Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 on IBM ThinkPad 600E. Is it possible? The following hardware that I think could be a problem is listed here: Graphic: NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV with AGP, 13.3 TFT XGA (1024x768) Network: 3Com Megahertz 10/100 LAN Cardbus PC Card, Model 3CCFE575BT I think the NeoMagic chip is OK, but what about AGP? Does the 2.0.x kernel (Debian GNU/Linux 2.1) support AGP? I also checked the network PC-Card, and the Hardware-HOWTO list tell me that the 3c575 driver maybe work in 10Mbit mode with the newest PCMCIA-package version 3... (something). But what about 100Mbit mode? Is there another PCMCIA network card running at 100Mbit knowing to work and possible to buy today?

Re: Does anyone use ZIP disks to backup/restore their system? How?
Hi, Thanks for the replies, it's really nice to know how others deal with the backup issue(s). I'm really hoping to implement a backup strategy that will allow me to backup/restore my entire linux system. Over the last 10 hours or so, I have been researching taper as a means. I checked out a couple others, but one needed libc5 libraries, and I wasn't sure if the other would work with multiple volumes. Taper seems to be quite slick. I did a full backup, which only spanned 2 volumes, instead of 3 with kbackup. Unfortunately I can't seem to fit taper on my rescue disk. It has library dependencies (curses? forms?) but allows static building. But the static binaries become QUITE large. I tried pruning down my rescue system as small as possible, but I think I need to start from scratch again. I use zdisk which is also quite slick. It copies a specified kernel (mine!) and an MSDOS filed filesystem (compressed). The MSDOS file system actually includes an ext2 filed filesystem (compressed) and syslinux. It was a little trickly to figure it out, but I did, and am impressed. BUT, I think my MSDOS filed filesystem is not compressing as small as it should, because I have changed it REPEATEDLY. I remember seeing some notes somewhere about this (bootkit?) and why the /dev/zero is used as the input file when creating a file to be used as a loop device. I think it may actually be possible to use zdisk to create a 1 floppy boot/root disk, that will allow a taper restore to happen. My brain is a little fried after the last 10 hours or so on this project, but I will be persuing this again in the near future. I may have to resort to having the taper and bg_restore binaries on a seperate floppy. If I ever get this working, I would be interested to know if people would benefit from a web page on all of this stuff. I planned to have a linux on IBM Thinkpad 560 up at some point anyway, as it's very tricky to get linux on this machine with no network connectivity and no builtin CD! John From: E.L.

RE: Does anyone use ZIP disks to backup/restore their system? How?
I would definitely be interested in the web page ! Something else I use Disk Image. It creates a complete image of your HD saving all partitions to a file on another hard drive. This file can be restored later and presto, you have a complete system the way you left it :) This was intended for commercial outfits like Dell. They configure a system once and then duplicate the HD. If you do, any disk will work as a secondary disk and the whole program fits on one floppy ! You still need a boot floppy. I burned a CDROM and have a boot floppy that will boot almost any system (in DOS) and give a menu of most all the available CDROM drivers. I then put CDROM in and restore the saved image. This is probably not practical for routine backups. paul -Original Message- From: John Miskinis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 1999 6:03 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Does anyone use ZIP disks to backup/restore their system?

Re: xserver-3dlabs - libc6 (slink vs. potatoe)?
If I remember right, what I did was find the XF86_3DLabs binary on the net (suse, I think), download it to /usr/bin/X11/ and edit your /etc/X11/Xserver to point to it. This way you can avoid upgrading before you're ready to. Serge Rey wrote: I'm trying to get x configured and I have a Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro card. This requires xserver-3dlabs_3_3_5-1.deb, but when I downloaded and tried to install that package, it was not configured due to dependencies on more recent versions of libc6 and xserver common. These new versions of libc6 and xserver common appear to be only available in potatoe, while my base installation is in slink. I'd like advice on the following questions: 1) If I install the newer versions of libc6 and xserver common, will this allow for the installation of the 3dlabs package? 2) Is it not a great idea to update the libc6 package, without installing the rest of potatoe? 3) If this is a bad idea, is there an alternative way for me to get x configured for this card?

Re: How do I change the post-configuration interface/method for Debian packages?

RE: xserver-3dlabs - libc6 (slink vs. potatoe)?
Have you tried the X packages from http://www.netgod.net/x/? If I remember correctly, they're compiled specifically for slink... If that doesn't help, you should be able to snarf the precompiled 3.3.3.5 server directly from the XFree86 site, and use it with the slink version of X (I've had to do that in the past, and I have the same video card that you do). They should co-exist without causing any trouble. -Original Message- From: Serge Rey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 November, 1999 5:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: xserver-3dlabs - libc6 (slink vs. potatoe)?

icq under firewall
Hi, I've set a firewall box with 2.2.13. What do I need to get ICQ working under it? I already have ip_masq_cuseeme loaded. The default policy is deny for all chains (input, forward, output).

Re: Install of Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 on IBM ThinkPad 600E
I just want to note that my thinkpad570, with same NeoMagic chip and pcmcia card work without any trouble at all. I use the potato (unstable) version of debian, though. Consider it if that's an option. Wed, 03 Nov skrev Christian Ericsson: I want to install Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 on IBM ThinkPad 600E. Is it possible?

EDI Libraries/De/encoders?
Does anyone know of any GPL or BSD or even any Open Source projects for creating EDI (Electronic Document Interchange) translators? EDI is a form of electronic invoicing, purchasing, etc. I'm interested in taking our text-based EDI docs and ripping out the data to a flat file suitable for database upload, as well as the reverse. Maping data from the database to an EDI document template. I would imagine PERL would be my first language choice, but I'm open to writing C/C++ apps, too. If no one knows of such a tool, anyone willing to collaborate on a new GPL project? :) Later! ^chewie ++ | Chad Walstrom mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | ICQ: 9985127 http://wookimus.net/~chewie | ++ Need a new truck?

Re: Kernal Upgrade and WINE questions
Doesn't VMware make wine obsolete? VMware is not Free software. Not only is it not free, but it costs quite a bit! And not only do you have to buy VMware, but you then ALSO need to buy your guest OS from Redmond. If you really need a full Windows setup, then VMware might be the answer for you, but it's not yet at the point where it can even make dual-booting obsolete for everyone since it does not support MIDI sound, joysticks, or 3-D graphics cards. VMware is kinda heavy on the requirements side, too (minimum 96MB memory recommended). If you just need to run an app or two, VMware is overkill. rgds-- TA ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I don't speak for the Federal Reserve Board, it doesn't speak for me.

1. dpkg --status telnetd if not installed = install (in my case this was the problem - apparently by default it is not installed) 2. check /etc/inetd.conf for lines: ftp stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.ftpd telnet stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd if commented = uncomment and send SIGHUP to inetd 3.
