Hola a todos.

Estoy buscando un cliente y un ftp seguros para Debian, pero no encuentro

Si, debes cambiarlo. Para eso es el comando que te indiqué en el mensaje
anterior:

No me parece buena idea poner al usuario en el grupo disk, pues ese
grupo fué creado para otra cosa y al incluir al usuario en el, le puedes
estar dando autorización para que te borre una partición completa.

Lógicamente que /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, etc pertenecen inicialmente al grupo
disk, pues como no se sabe si tu tendrás un cdrom o nó y de que forma
los irás a conectar, se parte del principio de que lo mas probable es
que instalarás discos normales en esos dispositivos.
Siempre que instales o desintales un cdrom, debes cambiar los grupos
de los respectivos puertos.
Espero que esta  respuesta un poco atrasada todavia te sea útil.

Re: Generacion manual de preview en EPS

2000-03-08 Thread Jaime E. Villate
Ramiro Alba decia:
 Que formato de imagen es un preview en un EPS y como se ha de incluir
 dentro del codigo postscript para que una aplicación de Ofimática como
 el StarWrite de StarOfice pueda incluila, visualizar la imagen de mapa
 de bits y luego imprimir, utilizando el postscript claro, para preservar
 la calidad. El concepto de EPS está claro (para mi a partir de los
 comentarios de Jaime E. Villate en su página Web: gracias Jaime), pero
 no he conseguido incrustarle un preview sin pasar por una aplicación
 como es el CorelDraw.
De nada; me alegra saber que te ha sido útil.

Existen algunas extensiones del PostScript que se suelen confundir con
el EPS (Encapsulated PostScript):
  EPSI: Un fichero PostScript encapsulado (con ciertos comentarios), en
el cual se incluye una versión bitmap del mismo (preview).

  EPSF: Una extensión del EPSI para el Mcintosh en la cual la versión
bitmap se pone en el resource fork del fichero, en vez de
en el propio fichero.

Puedes usar Gimp para crear ficheros epsi: lees el fichero .ps o .eps,
usas Save as con modo PostScript, y en la caja de opciones que te
aparece puedes activar la opción Preview.
También puedes usar convert (parte de imagemagick); por ejemplo:

convert tux.ps tux3.epsi

(He tenido que corregir un bug en mi versión de imagemagick:
ln -s /usr/lib/libdf.so.4.1r3 /usr/lib/libdf.so.4.0)

Puedes también usar el ps2epsi que propone Agustín (ps2epsi tux.ps)

De los 3 métodos, el mejor parece ser ps2epsi, pués es el único que te
mantiene el código postscript original respetando su caracter vectorial,
y el peor es Gimp porque produce un fichero mucho mayor (tux1.epsi fué
creado por ps2epsi y tux2.eps por Gimp):

-rw-r--r--   1 villate  villate  4434 Mar  8 11:20 tux.ps
-rw-r--r--   1 villate  villate 84065 Mar  8 12:46 tux1.epsi
-rw-r--r--   1 villate  villate   5898300 Mar  8 12:20 tux2.eps
-rw-r--r--   1 villate  villate215210 Mar  8 12:35 tux3.epsi

Pero vale la pena que ensayes los tres a ver cual le gusta mas a
StarOffice, pués las definiciones de eps y epsi no son respetadas muy
bien por diferentes programas.

Saludos,
Jaime Villate

Una forma de acordarte de lo que has hecho en los devices es poner lo
que has hecho en el /dev/MAKEDEV.local (que probablemente no existe
todavía). Es un script, con formato de script en el que pones los
cambios locales, pore ejemplo

#!/bin/sh

CDROM=hdc

chown root.cdrom $CDROM
ln -s $CDROM cdrom

# Otras cosas

Así, si en algún momento se rehacen los devices con el MAKEDEV, basta
con correr ese script desde /dev para que las cosas queden a tu gusto.
Si hay cambios de unidad, relanzaría el MAKEDEV y luego el MAKEDEV.local
con las modificaciones. Incluso 

MAKEDEV local

te lanzará MAKEDEV.local

Re: [local (Madrid)] Expo Linux y Linux Expo

2000-03-08 Thread SKaVeN
Hell-o Jesus M. Gonzalez-Barahona!

El día Mon, Mar 06, 2000 at 12:31:20AM CET

   En una semana tenemos en Madrid Expo Linux, y a finales de
 abril será Linux Expo. En ambos casos habrá charlas interesantes,
 empresas en la parte de exposición, y se espera que muchos visitantes.

veremos el resultado, de momento lo que he leido del Linux Expo no me ha
gustado ni un poco

   En ambos casos nos dejan espacio en un stand para Debian. La
 pregunta es: ¿hay gente que quiera organizar un poco el que haya
 presencia de Debian en estas ferias? Creo que sería muy importante que 
 entre tanta empresa haya presencia de la comunidad, y entre ella, la
 gente de Debian es uno de los representantes más claros...

en eso te doy la razón

 Seguro que los desarrolladores están muy liados, pero toda esa gente que
 siempre quiso colaborar con Debian y no sabí acomo tiene su oportunidad
 (aunque desde luego, un desarrollador es un desarrollador, y siempre
 puede representar mejor a Debian ;-) ).

uuuy, esa frase a quedado un poco rimbombante  

 El mínimo es prepara un par de carteles, y arrimarse por allí a atender
 preguntas de la gente, o sólo para dejarse ver. De ahí en adelante,
 hasta donde se quiera llegar ;-)
   ¿Quién se anima? Yo puedo echar una mano, y estar algún rato,
 pero no puedo coordinarlo (también estoy como BarraPunto, y eso me va
 a quitar bastante tiempo). ¿Alguien se anima? Al menos para Expo Linux 
 habría que avisar tan pronto como se pueda que va a haber alguien de
 Debian por allí... Ya que tienen el detalle de dejar que vayamos
 gratis, habrái que aprovecharlo, ¿no?

yo puedo hechar una mano por las tardes, ya me contareis

Raro. Mira http://packages.debian.org/boot-floppies

Trate de instalar dpkg -i el paquete que esta en hamm y me da una 
cantidad algo grande de referencias no resueltas.
Eso si. boot-floppies depende de -muchos- paquetes. En el paquete
boot-floppies que venía en mis CDs de Debian, boot-floppies ni
siquiera compilaba. No sé cual es el estado de la versión actual (2.1.12),
prueba y me cuentas.

Una última cosita, boot-floppies es para generar los discos de instalación
de debian, para hacer un simple disco de boot, puedes copiar las imagenes
o usar un paquete como mkrboot o similar.

Hola a todos
Gracias a Enzo por su respuesta.
Lamento tener que hacer una historia algo larga y tener tantas dudas
sobre un mismo tema.

  ...
  Necesito crear un diskete para boot y revisando mi slink me encuentro
  que ya el paquete boot-floppies que existia hasta hamm no esta
  presente aca.
  ...
 Es que te hace falta ese paquete ?
No se si este es el que necesito el problema es que estoy en un gran
lio, que mas adelante les explico.
 En el paquete debianutils viene /usr/sbin/mkboot que te genera un
 diskette booteable.

Voy a ver si con las utilidades de este paquete puedo hacer algo.
 Si lo que necesitas es unos discos de instalación simplemente
 puedes tomar las imágenes de:
 .../debian/dists/slink/main/disks-arquitectura
 y grabarlas en el floppy (comando dd ...).

Si, lo que necesito precisamente es para hacer una instalacion, pero
tengo la dificultades siquientes:
Compre una PC con una controladora y disco scsi, el Cd distributivo
de Slink no reconoce la controladora a la primera.
Por esto tome un disco IDE configure un slink y me baje el Kernel
2.2.14 luego de pasar mucho trabajo pude encontrar al fin el driver
para la dichosa es de Initio.
Pero como este sera mi disco definitivo seleccione como permanente
del kernel este modulo, lo que me implica que tengo que compilar con
make bzImage  pues make zImage dice que es muy big, lo mismo me pasa
con make zdisk que psiblemente seria una solucion.
Bueno con este disco con el nuevo Kernel si puedo ver mi disco Scsi,
por lo que lo particione con cfdisk.
Hice
mkswap -v /dev/sda2 que por cierto no me presenta en pantalla
todos los numeritos que estoy acostumbrado a ver cuando se esta
conformando el swap, me da un warning que se trunca en
130752 kb pero bueno sigo adelante.

mke2fs -v /dev/sda1 Que tambien me sale algo raro ya que saca la
tabla acostumbrada de numeros hasta el 4186113 pero cuando empieza
con su numeracion acostumbrada  llega hasta .../512 normalmente
siempre lo he visto /4186113 que es el numero maximo de la tabla.
Seguimos o paramos? seguimos.
cd /; tar -cv . | (cd /scsi; tra -xv)
Esto me copio aparentemente sin problema pero como la felicidad nunca
es completa cundo doy un df me sale
   1024-bused
hda1  3857920   281913 8%
sda1  4052132   827692 22%

La verdad que no se porque se cuatripica casi el ocupamiento con los
mismos ficheros y el formato de los discos supongo es el mismo el
2ext

Queria crearme un diskette de respaldo para ver si me reconoce el
scsi, modificar el lilo.conf el fstab para que cargue el scsi tirar
el lilo etc, pero el boot-floppies no me aparecia en la distribucion.

Probe crealo usando la opcion kernel-packe para hacerme una
imagen con mke-kpkg kernel-image cuando instale el .deb me pude crear
un disquete pero cuando resete con este diskette me reconocio el scsi
pero al final me da un error
Kernel panic: VPS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01

Bueno si alguien tiene idea de como resolver o me puede explicar
aunque sea parcialmente algunas de las dudas, por favor haganlo lo
mas rapido posible

Bueno, ahora ya tenés la instalación hecha (en el IDE), sólo
tenés que pasarla al SCSI y listo.

 Pero como este sera mi disco definitivo seleccione como permanente
 del kernel este modulo, lo que me implica que tengo que compilar con
 make bzImage  pues make zImage dice que es muy big, lo mismo me pasa
 con make zdisk que psiblemente seria una solucion.
 Bueno con este disco con el nuevo Kernel si puedo ver mi disco Scsi,
 por lo que lo particione con cfdisk.
 Hice
 mkswap -v /dev/sda2 que por cierto no me presenta en pantalla
 todos los numeritos que estoy acostumbrado a ver cuando se esta
 conformando el swap, me da un warning que se trunca en
 130752 kb pero bueno sigo adelante.
 ...
Qué kernel estaba corriendo cuando hiciste el mkswap?
Seguramente uno de la serie 2.0.x. Si lo repites con un kernel
2.2.x no vas a tener problemas con el tamaño. El mkswap detecta
el kernel actual y usa un formato u otro de swap partition. El
formato compatible con kernels 2.0.x no permite pasar de cierto
tamaño de swap space.

 mke2fs -v /dev/sda1 Que tambien me sale algo raro ya que saca la
 tabla acostumbrada de numeros hasta el 4186113 pero cuando empieza
 con su numeracion acostumbrada  llega hasta .../512 normalmente
 siempre lo he visto /4186113 que es el numero maximo de la tabla.
 ...
En esto no te puedo ayudar mucho.

 cd /; tar -cv . | (cd /scsi; tra -xv)
 Esto me copio aparentemente sin problema pero como la felicidad nunca
 es completa cundo doy un df me sale
1024-bused
 hda1  3857920   281913 8%
 sda1  4052132   827692 22%
 ...
Puede tener que ver con el tamaño de los i-nodes, o con la forma en que
se hizo la copia (tal vez haya copiado mal los links simbólicos, los
devices, el directorio /proc o alguna cosa por el estilo).

En el mini-HOWTO Hard-Disk-Upgrade se recomienda:

(cd /  tar cpf - . --exclude new-disk --exclude proc) | (cd /new-disk  tar
xpf -)

(new-disk es en tu caso scsi)

 La verdad que no se porque se cuatripica casi el ocupamiento con los
 mismos ficheros y el formato de los discos supongo es el mismo el
 2ext
 
 Queria crearme un diskette de respaldo para ver si me reconoce el
 scsi, modificar el lilo.conf el fstab para que cargue el scsi tirar
 el lilo etc, pero el boot-floppies no me aparecia en la distribucion.
 
 Probe crealo usando la opcion kernel-packe para hacerme una
 imagen con mke-kpkg kernel-image cuando instale el .deb me pude crear
 un disquete pero cuando resete con este diskette me reconocio el scsi
 pero al final me da un error
 Kernel panic: VPS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01
 ...
Cuando se genera el kernel queda registrado en el mismo cual
es la root partition que debe montar al arrancar. Como lo generaste
en el disco IDE, tratará de bootear siempre de ese disco.

Puedes arreglarlo con el comando rdev:
rdev bzImage /dev/sda1
modificará a la imagen bzImage para que al arrancar intente
montar como root el dispositivo /dev/sda1.

También lo podés hacer con el lilo, de varias formas:
- en el lilo.conf
- en el prompt al arrancar
- etc.

Para hacerla corta:
- Copiá nuevamente los datos del disco IDE al SCSI con el
comando de arriba (en el mini-HOWTO Hard-Disk-Upgrade hay
otras formas alternativas).
- Ejecutá el rdev sobre la imagen del kernel que tiene
soporte scsi. (rdev bzImage /dev/sda1)
- Pasá la imagen a un diskette (dd if=bzImage of=/dev/fd0)
(También se puede hacer con el mkboot, pero me temo que
es demasiado inteligente: trata de ver cuál es tu
partición root actual y hacerte un lilo boot disk, con
lo cual arruina el paso anterior).
- Reboot desde el disquette (debería arrancar correctamente
desde el disco scsi).
- Configurar e instalar el lilo como corresponde.

Problema instalando Debian 2.1 y 2.1r4 en un Celeron 366

2000-03-08 Thread Andres Seco Hernandez
Hola

He convencido a un colega para que pruebe Debian y me he pegado un
morrazo.

Con los CDs de la 2.1, el arranque del kernel (2.0.36) se para en la linea
que dice

md driver 0.36.3 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAX_REAL=8

tanto si arranco desde disquete como de CD. Tampoco arranca con el segundo
CD.

Con los CDs de la 2.1r4, el arranque del kernel (2.0.38) se para 2 lineas
más alante del mensaje anterior:

md driver 0.36.3 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAX_REAL=8
sym53c416.c: Version 1.0.0
DC390: 0 adapters found

Y nada más.

El equipo es un Intel Celeron 366 con tarjeta gráfica SIS noseque en placa
base, con winmodem en placa base, con tarjeta de red Realtek 8029AS y con
4.3 Gb de HD.

Ayuda, socorro...

fstab stuff - rather stupid question, I know!

2000-03-08 Thread addiction
This is a very newbie-ish question but here it is... I have several
partitions, three of which I want to mount via fstab so that any user can
read (not write) all of the files and directories. These are all ext2
filesystems, currently being mounted in this manner via fstab:

dev/hda8 /mp3 ext2 rw,user,suid,dev,sync,noauto 0 2

etc etc...

The problem is that everything on these partitions was moved by me when I
was logged in as root; the filesystems were mounted rw,default at the time.
I'm not sure what's up but I can't access the 2nd level directories as
a normal user anymore.

I tried changing the group, permissions, etc of the files manually and it
does no good - I get permission denied when I try to change directories
within the /mp3 dir at all (same with all the other mounted partitions I
moved stuff on, two others specifically).

Please, someone tell me what my silly mistake is. Is it the options I'm
using in fstab, or did I do something wonky to my permissions when I moved
the files? It shows the current permissions on the dirs as this:

drw-rw-rw-6 root audio4.0k Mar  6 20:58 l/
drw-rw-rw-2 root audio 16k Mar  6 20:34 lost+found/
drw-rw-rw-3 root audio4.0k Mar  6 20:58 miscmp3/

(Yes, Haunted is a member of the audio group.)

Well I now use Storm Linux - I was so impressed when I tried it on a spare partition after having tried Corel Linux. Stormix have 'created' an excellent distribution which must be of interest to members of this list since it is based on Debian. Storm Linux 2000 is currently Slink, but it upgrades to Potato without losing any of the Storm 'enhancements'. The Storm Package manager is a GUI front end to apt-get and is very nicely done. It makes it much nicer to be able to easily see what packages are available and to search for packages which are uninstalled/installed. When you have selected which packages you want installed/removed/purged, Storm Package Manager disappears and brings up an xterm where apt-get is run just like you would run it yourself. When the package has installed, it asks if you want to delete the .deb, and then the GUI reappears. I really didn't think I'd use it, being used to the command line apt-get, but I do. It is very nice. Much better than the Corel or Gnome implementations.

Storm Package Manager is available in potato incarnation from:

ftp://ftp.stormix.com/storm/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/sl-stormpkg_1.0-1_i386.deb

Of course you could add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb ftp://ftp.stormix.com/storm potato main

Then do apt-get update, apt-get install sl-stormpkg

If you are using Slink, the change the line to:

deb ftp://ftp.stormix.com/storm rain main contrib (rain = slink, hail = potato)

They also have the start of an admin utility which currently offers user account management, network management and a dial-up configuration utily. More modules are planned.

Storm breaks none of the Debian features like Corel did. The Debian menu system works as it should, KDE uses the correct libs so can be upgraded, etc..

The install routine is truly simple, but offers fewer custom settings than a Debian install, although there is a text-based install option which I haven't tried.

The nifty graphical bootloader is available to all if you download Storm's lilo 'lilo_21-4.storm.2_i386.deb' from ftp://ftp.stormix.com/storm/dists/rain/main/binary-i386/
Install and set lilo.conf to place the bootloader in the mbr of your first hard disk you will get the nice bootloader when you boot up.

If you get the Storm kernel sources 'kernel-source-2.2.14-storm_2.2.14-2_all.deb' from ftp://ftp.stormix.com/storm/dists/rain/main/binary-i386/ and compile it with framebuffer support for the VGA16 server you will also get sound during bootup through the PC speaker (it says 'Storm Linux 2000') and a very nice graphical border around the boot up messages - an excellent compromise between fancy graphics/no boot messages, and the traditional boot messages.

It is excellent that all the Storm enhancements are available in the downloadable version of Storm Linux, hence a CDROM is available from Cheapbytes at a ridiculously low price.

If anyone wants to try the graphical boot, the kernel settings for the 'Console Drivers' section are like this:

# Console drivers

CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
# CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE is not set
CONFIG_FB=y

Mismatched libraries

2000-03-08 Thread Robert Kerr
I have an application using vendor-supplied libraries linked against
libstdc++2.8.0.
I've upgraded to potato, and now my program crashes.  I'm thinking it's
because the default libraries for potato are 2.10.0 etc, and my program is
linking in both versions and having conflicts.  

so:

1) Am I right in thinking this?

2) How can I set up a glibc2.0.7 environment inside my potato distribution
that will allow me to work on my program safely?

thanks

  Hi,
It seems that libbz2 does not have a function that similar to

 my understanding is that you do the file reading in your own code (or another
 libraries) and simply pass the input to libbz2.  The headers and what not
 should explain it.  You can also grab the bzip2 source, as it uses the lib to
 do its work.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. But what I need is to get each line for a
.bz2 file recursively.

I have done this easily with the zlib1g library by using the
function gzgets which is very similar to fgets.

But in libbz2, the only file reading function is:
bzRead(bzerror, bzFile, buf, 2048);

where it reads 2048 bytes to buf regardless the newline
character. And it would be too expensive to
uncompress the whole file first and then start reading using
standard libc functions.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Regards,

Shao.

psgml question

2000-03-08 Thread Bob Bernstein
I was using Emacs running under X to edit sgml, with the 'old' SGML mode.
Today I installed the deb for psgml and lost all syntax highlighting in the
process.

This is a fairly up-to-date frozen potato. My ~/.emacs looks like:

--- snip ---

(autoload 'sgml-mode psgml Major mode to edit SGML files. t)
(autoload 'xml-mode psgml Major mode to edit XML files. t)

(custom-set-variables
 '(global-font-lock-mode t nil (font-lock)))
(custom-set-faces)

(set-default-font
-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-M-70-ISO8859-1)

--- snip ---

I'm sure I'm missing something *really* simple! 

(The psgml info file says: The highlighting will only be done if the variable
`sgml-set-face' is non-`nil'. How does one do that?)

GRFS? Seagate backup broken with upgrade

2000-03-08 Thread Kent West
Anyone running the Seagate Backup Exec client for
Unix on their Debian box?

I am, and was getting backed up no problem, but
some time ago I upgraded a few things (don't
remember now), and now my backup client won't
initialize.

There's a line in my /etc/services like:
grfs6101/tcp#Backup Exec Agent

Does this mean that some service is running? If
so, shouldn't it show if I do a ps ax? Or is
there some other way to determine what services
are running?

The documentation states that the backup server
must have an entry in /etc/hosts. It does.
The backup client's log states:

/usr/local/bkupexec/agent.be: Using configuration
file: /usr/local/bkupexec/agent.cfg
/usr/local/bkupexec/agent.be: Agent configuration

I don't really expect anyone to know the answers,
but it's a shot in the dark. (Haven't gotten much

2000-03-08 Thread Matheson
Hey,

I just got offered a job to program this new device for laptops (you
hook your laptop up to it, and you can get TV, radio, network, etc.),
but they want to do it in Linux (I would be in charge of getting the
Linux to work also).  Anyways, the scanners they want to use are USB,
and TWAIN-compliant (I don't have a model name yet.)  I told them I
wasn't sure if we would be able to get it to work, considering it is
USB.  I know that the new kernels have USB support, but is it good
enough to use with a scanner (preferrably full speed)?

Thanks,
Cameron Matheson

 using in fstab, or did I do something wonky to my permissions when I moved
 the files? It shows the current permissions on the dirs as this:
 
 drw-rw-rw-6 root audio4.0k Mar  6 20:58 l/

 (Yes, Haunted is a member of the audio group.)

To cd into a directory, you must heve execute permission for
that directory.  I.E. change:
 drw-rw-rw-6 root audio4.0k Mar  6 20:58 l/
 drw-rw-rw-2 root audio 16k Mar  6 20:34 lost+found/
 drw-rw-rw-3 root audio4.0k Mar  6 20:58 miscmp3/

to:
 drwxrwxrwx6 root audio4.0k Mar  6 20:58 l/
 drw-rw-rw-2 root audio 16k Mar  6 20:34 lost+found/
 drwxrwxrwx3 root audio4.0k Mar  6 20:58 miscmp3/

Though if you want to enforce the read-only settings that you
mentioned above, change it to:
 drwxr-xr-x6 root audio4.0k Mar  6 20:58 l/
 drw-rw-rw-2 root audio 16k Mar  6 20:34 lost+found/
 drwxr-xr-x3 root audio4.0k Mar  6 20:58 miscmp3/

This way only root can write into those directories, while everyone
else can browse them but not write to them.

Fw: compiling new kernel

ok, so we everyone is clear

i am trying to get the make bzImage command to write this

/usr/src/linux-2.2.x/arch/i386/boot/bzImage

but it doesn't, it gives me an error

make[1]: as86:  Command not found
make[1]: *** [bbootsect.o] Error 127
make[1]:  Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.2.14/arch/i386/boot'

why?

 Ughh, just run an additional command ( after youve installed bin86 re
previous email)

 make install

 does the work of copying and running lilo at the end.

 Id suggest you modify /etc/lilo.conf to also point to a known working
kernel and
 have a resue disk and maybe even a boot disk handy.
 They come in handy when things dont work out as expected

 Ummm, speaking from personal experience of course

 cheers

  so right.
  then at the end it says:

  why is this happening?
  i went over a redid the make menuconfig and even checked to make sure it
  saved properly .config in /usr/src/linux-2.2.14
 
   this is what i am doing:
  
  
   Once that is all done and you choose Exit and save your config
file,
  you
   must run make dep followed by make clean. And now the fun begins,
type
  make
   bzImage to build your kernel. This will take awhile (15mins+) so go
  browse
   our site a little and send us some feedback ;). Instead of make
bzImage,
   you can also do make zdisk which will write your kernel to a floppy
disk
   instead.
   Now that it's done, you have to do make modules followed by make
   modules_install and that should be it for the Kernel if all goes
well.
  Now
   it's time to set up LILO. First you have to move the newly created
Kernel
   to your /boot directory. Do this by typing cp
   /usr/src/linux-2.2.x/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.x. Next
  would
   be to move the System.map file to your /boot directory. Do that by
typing
   cp /usr/src/linux-2.2.x/System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.x.
  
   ..but i get
  
   cp: /usr/src/linux-2.2.14/arch/i386/boot/bzImage:  No such file or
  directory
  
   any ideas?

problems setting up sockd

2000-03-08 Thread Ron Farrer

I have a Linux box with a dial up modem that does ipmasq. Most things
work fine, but some don't. Like ICQ. (yeah, yeah, icq sucks, bla, bla,
etc.) So I'm trying to setup a socks4 server (socks4-server from
potato). Anyway the only thing in the logs are: 

inetd[287]: socks/tcp/udp: unknown service
tcplogd: socks connection attempt from foo.bar [192.168.1.5] 

(the real system name was replaced with foo.bar by me)

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Re: HELP! Install problem. How to free I/O locked by reserve=... in boot params?

On Fri, 3 Mar 2000 09:56:15 +0100, Wojciech Zabolotny wrote:

Hi All, I have to install potato on a computer which locks with standard
potato's installation kernel. This machine has a NIC (wd8003) located at
0x280. During the boot time one of the SCSI drivers (probably sim710)
included in the standard kernel tries to detect the SCSI controller at the
same address, locking the machine. The only solution is to use
reserve=0x280,0x20 at the boot prompt. In this case kernel initializes
correctly, however I can not insmod the NIC module later to complete the
installation :-(. I've read the Boot-Prompt HOWTO, but there was nothing
about such cases. I can not change the NIC's iobase. Is there any special
boot parameter to disable the autodetection of particular address without
blocking it for modules? Is there any way to free such reserved I/O space?

Have you tried to insert the wd module with parameters (io=0x280 etc.)?
I think it doesn't care if resources are reserved or not in this case.

Re: Where to specify fonts for which apps?

 Whenever I've got xfstt running, several apps have

 Thanks!

Many X apps have Xresource settings you can put in your ~/.Xresources
(or ~/.Xdefaults in some lands...).  For instance, I have this for
xterm:

XTerm*background: black
XTerm*foreground: gray90
XTerm*font: 9x15
XTerm*scrollBar: False

Finding what the Resources are for a particular application can be
difficult, although many will list them (and appropriate parameters) in
there manpages.  The worst are the ones that say The usual Xresources
or some such -- that isn't much help :). 

Happy hunting and pecking.

Note: I find it strange that you have a lot of cursive fonts.  I don't
think that would be a default set-up. Typically defaults are something
bland like fixed or helvetica or courier -- and roman slant.

Re: HOW DO I Apply debian patch to original source?

2000-03-08 Thread Shaul Karl
 I am having problems installing the wu-ftpd package from source.
 
 The whole reason I am grabbing the source is that I want to use a more
 recent version of wu-ftpd than what is available with the slink binary
 packages. If I can build the package from the source files to give me
 a slink compatible package, it is all the better.
 
 I update my /etc/apt/sources.list with
 http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
 
 and then I did a 
 # apt-get update
 $ apt-get source wu-ftpd
 
 and it retrieved the 2.6.0 wu-ftpd. It looks as if it applied the patch for
 me. I got an erro with the debian/rules binary though
 
 $ cd wu-ftpd-2.6.0
 $ debian/rules binary

 make: *** [build-stamp] Error 127
 
 Do you know what this error indicates? 
 


You do not have dh_testdir which is in the debhelper package.

Re: Framebuffer console with a G400

2000-03-08 Thread Aaron Solochek
In light of all this talk, I decided to give my g400 frame buffer
another shot.  I Recompiled my kernel, with support for the g100/g200
framebuffer devices.  I added the lines below to my lilo.conf

append=video=matrox:vesa:280

That worked.  I got a very nice frame buffer console.  However, once I
started X, and ctrl-alt'ed to another termianl, the video is all
garbled, like its refresh isn't syncing or something.  How do you fix
that?

boot using the terca boot images for the Athlon.  Try searching the
archives within the last week or so.

Hey Cameron,

check that your sound card supports midi playback - for example, I have
a SB64PCI which does not feature hardware midi playback.

If your card falls into this category then I suggest using Timidity
which is a software based midi player.

Hope this helps

CAVEAT : I am a programmer - not a sysadmin. This is the best I can
muster, but it may not be good enough. :)

A (clipped) copy of your exim.conf file would have helped...

This may or may not be of help, but since I recently locked down a
mail server, I can at least say it worked for me... This is exim 3
from frozen, but it should be cool for slink.

also, you can test the relaying by telnetting directly to your port 25
and running the commands that were listed below
(HELO,MAIL,RCPT,DATA). Order and spaces are important.

/etc/exim.conf
=
# You don't care
qualify_domain = lupavista.jamdata.net
# You care
local_domains = lupavista.jamdata.net:lupavista:localhost
# This is the doosey
relay_domains =

If you really do need to relay for limited hosts, I would recommend
doing MX records and set relay_domains_include_local_mx.

There are manuals at www.exim.org, and a large section of the manual
talks about locking down relaying.

Good luck.

Re: Configuration management

2000-03-08 Thread Christian Lynbech on satellite
I have been toying with the same idea (putting stuf like /etc) under
CVS control, though I haven't gotten round to become serious about it
yet.

My idea towards handling individual machine specifics would be to use
the branch system. If a certain file needed a specific change, branch
off (on that file only) and do it. The trick would be to have a
consistent tag naming scheme that would automate the process in the
other direction. One could then run CVS through some apropriate
scripts that would examine the tag structure and do the right thing.

Re: Who builds YOUR binary RPMs?

2000-03-08 Thread Christian Lynbech on satellite
I think there is a rather simple reason why .rpms are everywhere but
.debs isn't.

The rpm based distributions are so much smaller that important
functionality is missing, thus forcing many people to go and build
rpms for their favourite software. Since debian is so big, there is
very little software not already presented by a debian developer.

And I disagree that rpms are very simple to do. Been there, done that,
hated it - a lot. Doing a package is no more difficult with dpkg
than with rpm. Doing a *good* package, catering for all the different
and impossible situations it may be presented to is a tough job, no
matter what system you are using. The standards are probably somewhat
higher in the debian world, and that may be what put people off.

Sounds like you're running out of colors, probably because you're
running X with a bpp depth of 8. Though that can happen with higher
bpps.  Sounds like you've got a new machine, so you ought to be able to
do 32 bpp unless you're video card isn't well supported. Check your
/etc/X11/XF86Config for the DefaultColorDepth line.

That bug has been reassigned to xbase-clients and merged with a number

Another important change in the xfree86-common package is that all
support for the /etc/X11/window-managers file has been removed. Window
managers should now use the alternatives system. You may want to check
that the /usr/bin/x-window-manager symlink is valid. The command
update-alternatives --auto x-window-manager will reset that symlink to

Dear Webmaster,
Hi! My name is Manisha and I work for FAT24. I'm in charge of identifying 
websites for cross promotion for a new client of ours called Joyo96. I came 
across your website and really liked it. I thought we could exchange links.
Joyo96 is mostly concerned with written Japanese lessons, books and software 
- although there is also Japanese classical music available. It has a full 
144-page course on the Katakana phonetic script, as well as 150 Kanji 
etymologies with stroke order diagrams, calligraphic movies, example compounds, 
and Spanish translations. There are primers on many topics, and links to lots of 
free and commercial software. They have also developed a new "Paper Maker" which 
allows the student to print out writing authentic writing practice paper 
(squares for Kanji and Katakana and circles within squares for Hiragana).
The website was originally on AOL which only had counters for single pages so 
we do not know the total traffic on the old site exactly, but from LinkEchange 
data we know that it was about 700 page views per day, but as traffic is now 
being migrated to the new site of same domain name, traffic has been steadily 
climbing to an estimated 1200 page views per day.
Joyo96 would be happy to see you link to whichever parts you like the most. 
We written some sparse lines that you can cut-n-paste, or edit as you see fit. 
Hopefully your e-mail client will show the full code for cut-n-paste.
Of course we need to install a link to your site. I've tentatively written 
the following for your edit, comment, and approval:

Hmmm, I used the insmod wd io=0x280, and it resulted in the mentioned
error.
However I've checked it in my home system. I've append the reserve=0x300,1
line to the lilo.conf (I have ne2000 at 0x300).
In this case system starts correctly, then I switched off the eth0
interface and removed the ne module.
After I tried: insmod ne, I got:

#insmod ne
ne.c: No PCI cards found. Use io=0xNNN value(s) for ISA cards.
/lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ne.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

However, when I typed insmod ne=0x300, I got:
#insmod ne io=0x300
ne.c:v1.10 9/23/94 Donald Becker ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x300: 00 c0 df 48 fa ef
eth0: NE2000 found at 0x300, using IRQ 11.

The 0x300 area is still reported in /proc/ioports as:
0300-0300 : reserved
(even when the module is loaded!)

So I can see a few possibilities:
1) The modules ne and wd differently handles the reserved I/O space
2) There is a difference in this subject between 2.0 and 2.2 kernels
   (I use 2.0.36 at home, and 2.2.14 in the failing machine)
3) This is not I/O space, what causes the resource unavailable error.
   Unfortunately the insmod gives very poor information about the
   reasons of failure (even the -v switch does not help).

Thanks for suggestions. Tomorrow I'll try to investigate the problem
more thoroughly.

 Okay, I was confusing LILO and loadlin (I knew what I was talking about, but
 didn't use the right name).  I believe I know now what to do, but I still
 don't know about one thing: should I toggle the bootable flag on for the
 root partition on the HDD, or leave it off, if I intend to boot into DOS
 first, then Linux?

I would use a better subject line.

If you're booting into DOS, then make just the DOS partition bootable.

bin86 missing (was Re: compiling new kernel)

2000-03-08 Thread David Wright
Quoting Nick Barron ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 ok, so we everyone is clear
 
 i am trying to get the make bzImage command to write this
 
 /usr/src/linux-2.2.x/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
 
 but it doesn't, it gives me an error
 
 make[1]: as86:  Command not found
 make[1]: *** [bbootsect.o] Error 127
 make[1]:  Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.2.14/arch/i386/boot'
 make: *** [bzImage] Error 2
 
 and doesn't create the bzImage file
 
 
 why?

It looks as if you don't have the as86 command. This is a fairly common
problem. The kernel source only suggests the bin86 package (which
contains as86) but does not depend on it. This is because only intel
users need it.

I can't understand how so many people seem to lose bin86. It's
standard, therefore it is selected by default during the first pass
of dselect when installing a new system. Where/when does it fade away?

Re: Framebuffer console with a G400

2000-03-08 Thread Mark Zimmerman
I got the following information from someone who doesn't like to post
to the list. I haven't had time to try out the suggested mode, though.

 There is no kernel driver for get 'Matrox acceleration' in the 2.2
 kernels yet.  The 2.3 beta has it.  The best you can do right now for
 2.2 generic VESA is to use mode 315 (decimal) which gets you 800x600
 graphic mode 32 bit color.  

 I also have a G200.  What I don't understand is that the newer BIOS
 upgrades for it are limited like the G400 is in generic VESA modes.
 If you use one of the old BIOS's you get all the hi-res modes.  The
 accelerated  Matrox fb modes work only on the new BIOS's.  

 This stuff is all pretty new, aways changing and official
 documentation is still incomplete.

fips won't move hidden

2000-03-08 Thread Brian J. Stults
I'm having trouble repartitioning a drive with a single FAT32 partition
with FIPS.  I defragged, did a clean boot, and ran it, but it gives an
error that there are hidden or read-only files at the end of the
partition.  I tried disabling the swap file (which I probably should
have done anyway.)  That didn't help.  Then I did dir c:\ /s /a:h to
find all the hidden files and change them.  That took forever and still
didn't work.  I don't want to shell out the money for Partition Magic. 
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Re: colors change. help

Quoting Steve Winston ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 I need help with a color problem.
 In slink, when I try to use any graphics program, the overall
 colors of desktop change. In xpaint or Moonlight Creator, gray areas 
 turn to green or turquoise blue when I move the mouse from the 
 menu to the drawing areas. Also, when I try to use AbiWord, I get 
 a similar result: Colors changed all over the desktop to hot greens
 blues, pinks and reds. Any ideas anyone?
 This is an AMD k6-2 400 mmx, 128mb RAM. 
 Thanks in advance, steve

Each application is using its own colour map because they can each get
more colours that way. I use netscape -install for this reason. So it's
a feature, not a bug. It can be a bit surprising, particularly when you
use the Window Ops menu or the title bar which both belong to the window
manager, not the application.

If you have enough memory on your graphics card, you could run X
with more colour depth. I have to use 8bpp.

Re: Framebuffer console with a G400

2000-03-08 Thread Aaron Solochek

Ok, I have a matrox g400, and all I want is the nice looking 1024x768
console.  I can get this using the append=video=matrox:vesa:280 in
lilo.conf.  However, this stops working as soon as I enter X, and then
try to either exit, or switch to another virtual console.  I don't
understant where ther 280 value comes from, for beginners.  This is my
first attempt at learning about frame buffers, so if there is a good
source somewhere, please point me to it.  

I should also mention that I have a viewsonic PT775 monitor, which can
do 1600x1200, and will auto track horix from 30-96khz, and vert from
50-160khz, so I can't imagine I'm out of range.  

Trying to use fbset doesn't work either, I'm missing something
fundemental here.

Compiling X

Hi all. I recently had to build 3.3.6 version for glibc2.0. Went
smoothhowever, after I replaced video card this morning, and reran
XF86Setup, I ran into problems with users starting X (root can do it
fine):
Fatal Server Error: 
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root
permissions. You should be using Xwrapper to start server or xdm. We
strongly advise against making server SetUID.

I've recompilied X and turned off all SetUID flags I could find but
nothing seems to work still. And I kinda want to get back into user shell
(for one thing, I can not use netscape and xchat, I'd stay root if not
those things). Any suggestions?

Why are you compiling X??
Do you know debian packages?
To my experience they work a lot easier then compiling yourself
Just download the .deb packages you need (or use apt, you want the newest
x but perhaps you don't want to upgrade your whole system to potato or
woody, in that case you should download) and install them using dpkg...

Adding more disk-space

2000-03-08 Thread Viggo
Hi Debian-folks
Finally got Debian running on my old 486/100, using a WDC 2540 hd (540
Mb),
at hda (hda1).
/home is on an old Seagate 213 Mb (hdc).
Running out of space, I've installed another WDC 2540 on hdd (hdb is the
cd-rom).
After figuring out the way around the 1024 cyl-limit (thanks to the
Large-Disk-Howto), I've partitioned hdd with a linux-primary partition.
Now i have two questions:

Why does Linux only report 515 Mb, when the drive is supposedly 540 Mb?
(linux using 524/32/63, drive physically 1048/16/63)

Wanting to move  /usr to the new hd, how would I go about it?
I suppose I have to format(initialize?) and mount the drive, and then
copy /usr with everything beneath it to the new hd? (Which is
basically what I would have done back in the DOS-days...)

I've looked at the man-pages for cp, but can't quite make out how to
make it copy everything under  /usr. The list-archives doesn't really
give me much of a clue,
either, though I suppose it must be a fairly common problem.
Thanks for your patience with a *nix-newbie. I'm trying to learn, and
I'll happily
read any FM.

 This sounds like you've got a problem with /etc/hosts.allow. You're
