Re: Colaboracion en la traduccion de Debian

En el Foro sobre Debian del ultimo congreso de Hispalinux estuvimos hablando sobre este tema, y habia bastante gente interesada en colaborar. Este mensaje es solo para avisar a los que no estuvieron en el Foro, pero estan interesados en colaborar. Para empezar, podemos darle un repaso al Web, y luego podemos continuar con al documentación y la espanolizacion de los mensajes de algunos programas. Si estas interesado en colaborar, puedes hacer lo siguiente: Yo no tengo nivel de ingles para ello. Yo soy de los que necesitan las traducciones que los demás hacen. Nunca me cansaré de agradecer el esfuerzo de las personas que hacen tan ingrato, pero tan necesario trabajo. Solo quería decir que en mi humilde opinión el documento de mayor prioridad en cuanto a su traducción debería ser el manual de instalación. No se si para la Potato cambian muchas cosas pero el número de personas directamente beneficiadas por esa traducción sería en mi opinión el más importante. Ultimamente se ha debatido en la lista Debian sobre las facilidades a los novatos. Al menos alguno de ellos ha tenido el valor de decir que se sienten un poco olvidados. Seguramente hay muchos más que no dicen nada, asi que por eso me he permitido este comentario. Nuevamente gracias a todos los traductores.

DVORAK
Con el paquete 'kbd' viene una cantidad ingente de información y
documentación sobre DVORAK (/usr/doc/kbd/dvorak/. Incluso podeis ver
un GIF de la disposición de teclado del susodicho.
Para los curiosos aquí se puede ver una aproximación:
Shifted:
{ }
P Y F G C R L ? +
A O E U I D H T N S _
: Q J K X B M W V Z
Lowercase:
[ ]
' , . p y f g c r l / =
a o e u i d h t n s -
; q j k x b m w v z
Como os podeis fijar no existen por ningún lado las letras 'DVORAK'.
Imagino que como DVORAK es un apellido checoslovaco, el nombre viene
del inventor de esta configuración.
Por cierto que hasta hay una norma ANSI sobre DVORAK.
Lo que pasa es que pensad primero que para adquirir velocidad en un
teclado DVORAK hay que aprenderselo de memoria. Y eso ya va a suponer
un montón de esfuerzo. Eso me recuerda a algunos que trabajan en
empresas francesas y les obligan a usar el AZERTY. A lo mejor no
merece la pena el cambio.

Bash Fuera
Hola! Bueno, vengo q contaros una idea descabellada que se me ha ocurrido. Quería eliminar 'bash' de mi sistema. (La verdad sería de los pocos sistemas Linux sin Bash instalado). En plan usuario no me preocupa absolutamente nada, porque llevo usando 4 años el 'zsh' (más opciones, menos memoria). Lo que me preocupa es que 'Bash' es la shell del sistema y todos los scripts de arranque la usan. Y no me apetecería nada rearancar el equipo y que no me cargara. Según las dependencias sólo el 'bug' depende de 'bash'. Por tanto en teoría puedo sacar todo del sistema. En vez de 'bash' metería en mi sistema el 'ash' que cumple con todos los requesitos de un buen '/bin/sh', siendo más pequeño y más seguro. ¿Alguien tiene experiencia en el tema y me puede decir que esto no me va a dar problemas? -- Saudos: ose[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Vigo/Galicia/España) http://pagina.de/xmanoel/ http://w3.to/mikkeli/ 11/20 Duane Allman is born in Nashville, Tennessee, 1946 11/20 Joe Walsh is born in Cleveland, 1947 11/20 (11/20/1877) First recorded human speech (Mary Had a Little Lamb, Edison). 11/20 (11/20/1889) Edwin Powell Hubble, astronomer.

Re: Freezing a package on Debian installation
*- On 20 Nov, Bart Szyszka wrote about Freezing a package on Debian installation Hello, I'm having trouble finding a command that would allow me to specify to not allow Debian to upgrade a specific package or to install it if it doesn't exist. I thought it might be at apt-get -h or dpkg -h, but I didn't find anything there. Debian gets messed up on my end before I get a chance to install the packages for the man command (why isn't it included in the base installation of Debian?!?) so I don't have that yet.

You can also edit /var/lib/dpkg/status and change the Status: line of the package you want to hold back from: Status: install ok installed to Status: hold ok installed The man-db package is not installed because it is too big to include on the base system.

Subject: Can Debian users install the new Corel packages?
I am interested in trying out some of the new Corel apps like the file manager. Is it possible to get hold of individual apps from the new ditribution without downloading the whole iso file? I assume I would be legally permitted to use individual components like this . . As corel's packages are glibc2.0 based they should work well in slink. I downloaded the cd and installed wxftp from the .deb using dpkg -i. WXFTP is a real nice graphical front end to ftp, though I don't think it is free, it might make the contrib section. I have used the windows version and I like it because it has a progress meter.

Re: eth0: promiscuous
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... What does eth0: Setting promiscuous mode mean? And where to find information about? During normal operation, all ethernet traffic on the local ethernet segment is seen by everyone on the segment. By default ethernet card discards any data packets (called frames) that aren't meant for it, based on the MAC address it was told to use and the MAC addresses in the header of each frame. When it gets a frame meant for it, it raises a hardware interrupt, at which time the operating system performs whatever it needs to do to get the information from the ethernet card. When in promiscuous mode, the ethernet card raises an interrupt at _every_ data packet that comes across the wire, and lets the operating system decide what to do with it. Very useful for stuff like packet sniffers. -- -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.

kerneld won't go away!
Why is it that, even after religiously running update-rc.d -f kerneld remove and /etc/init.d/kerneld stop, kerneld keeps coming back every time the modutils package is upgraded? I get a warning that I almost certainly shouldn't be running it, and then it starts it back up and installs it back into rc.d. How do I make kerneld go away? Thanks, Stuart.

Ahh but the HOWTO talks on an old version of LINUX and well there are some tiny differences (ei. the imm and ppa) but the escence is the same. keep at it Andres PS UPS I am not suscribed to the list...

I recently tried to build a small debian linux system on a ZIP disk, but gave up. For what it's worth, I believe the newer models have the same interface as the ZIP Plus drive, and both must use IMM.

Ian It is also possible, though, that xemacs already has this Ian functionality compiled in; that was another thing I remember Ian hearing from xemacs people. In that case xemacs itself fully Ian controls which mouse events it grabs, and you'd have to deal Ian with this as with an xemacs bug. I doubt xemacs would have it compiled it, otherwise, it would need to know the configuration for my mouse. Brian Is it possible to use normal cutpaste with xemacs?

Re: ipchains and REDIRECT
Hi, I just had to do the same thing as you and had no problems. I am using a 2.2 kernel w/ ipchains and had to forward port 80. The IP Masquerade HOWTO was really helpful to me (http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO.html). Chapter 6 explains exactly how to do port forwarding with 2.2 kernels (http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO-6.html#ss6.8). To summarize what the howto says about port forwarding, it looks like the commands to setup port forwarding have changed from 2.0 to 2.2 which is probably your problem. You don't want to use the REDIRECT rule for ipchains anymore, but a new tool called ipmasqadm to set up port forwarding. It looks like the command you would need is something like: /usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 207.158.172.XXX 2401 -R 192.168.2.2 2401 I am just going off what I read just now in the howto and I really haven't looked at the details of your message so this may not be the only thing you need to do. I would definitely check out the howto for yourself as it's a pretty good one. Chris Schleifer P.S. This uses IPPORTFW which I have compiled into the kernel and you have as a module, this may make a difference.

Why would I switch to apt? apt is the latest method for updating a Debian system over the net. dselect is a front-end for managing packages, and can use apt as the back-end for downloading and managing the actual installation (i highly recommend this). apt-get is a command-line interface to apt, rather than the curses-dased dselect. Some people despise dselect, but just about everyone likes apt-get. capt is an ncurses-based front-end to apt. i personally prefer dselect. gnome-apt is an X-based front-end to apt. i've never tried it, personally i like a textmode front-end better because it doesn't require messing around to get an app run by root to show up on an X display running as my user. You would switch to apt if you want to download packages from the internet, instead of or in addition to using your CDs. i'd recommend you at least get the slink security updates (i don't know the URL offhand, anyone feel like posting it?), and update to r3 if your CDs aren't there already. -- finger for GPG public key. 16 Nov 1999 - new key generated, please stop using the old. pgpLMpT8rjsgs.pgp Description: PGP signature

OSS from 4Front Tech problems
I have sound working fine as the root user, but it is screwed as any other. I am using commercial OSS as I have NEVER been able to get any of the other stuff to work. I presented this problem to the tech folks at 4Front and their answer was to change the permissions on /dev/dsp by using the command chmod a+rw /dev/dsp* this did not make any difference. just for the sake of being thorough I also tried changing every other sound related device to the same and even tried doing chmod a+rwx /dev/dsp* and all the others. It still only works as root. I'm puzzled. I am using kernel 2.2.13 on a slink pure stable system (not the same one as before Brian :-)) I use Gnome session loaded at boot into the icewm-gnome window manager. If I start soundon as root it will carry over to the cdplayer and mixers that run in X and the mixer in gnome but the Gnome cdplayer still doesn't connect (I think that's another problem) Sorry to be so long about this but to me any sound system should be ubiquitous!
