Aparte del poco ambiente, me pareció una tomadura de pelo por parte de algunas de las empresas participantes como Telefónica, SCO y, sobre todo, Oracle. En general, y siguiendo la tónica general en España, la mayoría de las casas sólo se preocupan de los sistemas operativos Windows, lo que dice poco a su favor. En el caso de Telefónica, es de agradecer su patrocinio, pero no tenía stand en el que mostrar que sus servicios también llegan a la comunidad Linux. Santa Cruz (SCO) te mostraba sus productos comerciales (Unixware, Tarantella, Visio2K,...), sabían que programas Linux funcionan en sus Unix, pero ignoraban la posibilidad de hacerlo al contrario. Por supuesto nada de Linux, Samba o similar. En mi opinión, el colmo fue la actitud de Oracle: la ponencia Gestión de datos sobre GNU/Linux fue una presentación de su producto Oracle WebDB (eso sí con NetScape en vez de iExplorer, no tenían ni un CD de demostración de sus productos en Linux, ¡ni un PC con Linux y Oracle instalado!

Re: Unresolved symbol errors with custom kernel... .
A new thing I just noticed: the sb live module claims to load correctly upon boot (I put it in /etc/modules. I still get no sound, but it IS loading correctly. Question: 1. How can I check to see if the module is loaded correctly (sb live)? Is there a test I can run? you can run lsmod to see, if the module is loaded and if it is used by other modules or some process, but i don't think, that you can check that way if it is configured right. if it really works, you can just test, if you hear something ... possibly you get some messages to the syslog if you try to play something and the dma-channel is not set correctly. 2. Should I have run depmod after installing new modules? i think yes. i always do. I think the problem may lie in old modules that I no longer need as modules. Would running depmod clean the dependencies for old modules? it will. As for your ideas: 1. I did not directly make soundcore or anything else, only make modules and install, should I have to make them each separately? I don't have the experience of exporting symbols out by hand (I don't really know what the term symbols referrs to), but I would love to learn; where can I find a howto or any documentation about this? There does not appear to be a modules howto. with soundcore i mean the kernel option sound-sound card support. you don't have to select any soundcard, but compile this basic support as a module. all kernel-sound-drivers need this module, so i guess that creative's modules need it, too. 3. It is possible that my modules.conf is wrong. Debian uses /etc/modutils/aliases and other files in /etc/modutils to change modules.conf. I could not find good documentation about how to use this, but I did find some into in the sb live sources - make a files called emu10k1 in /etc/modutils with the alias info. It reads that file and uses it when I ran update-modules. possible, but hard to say without further info ... check, if the sound-device (char-major-??) is linked to the right module. 4. I did not run depmod after building the modules and installing them. that could be a reason for the kernel not knowing, that it has to load the soundcore (even if it already is in the right place). -- Hi!

Re: How to make SCSI only bootup
It isn't part of lilo - it comes from the mbr package. It's applied when you first install Debian if you choose to install lilo into the superblock rather than the master boot record, and also answer affirmatively when prompted to install a boot sector. If you install lilo into the master boot sector it will provide the bootup code, and you shouldn't ever see the 2FA: prompt. At the point when the prompt is displayed, the master boot sector is the *only* thing which has been loaded... no lilo, kernel, etc. On Fri, Mar 17, 2000 at 11:22:02PM +0530, Chirag wrote: - Original Message - From: Gregory T.

Re: alternatives to gnotepad+
There's a plethora of editors out there. Ever tried XEmacs? XEmacs has pull-down menus, so you don't really have to memorize all the key combinations, and most importantly has very nice syntax highlighting features. emacs is way more then i need. all i want is a simple gui based text editor which will allow me to have more then one file open at a time inside it. emacs is *drastic* overkill for this :) Nedit is also worth mentioning if you need something simple. I personally like Vim. nedit would work but it won't allow multiple files to be open within one window. gnotepad+ and gedit are exactly what i want but buggy enough to not be very annoying to use (and c ain't my forte so i can't use the source unfortunately :-( ). adam.

Locales
Okay, I've been munging my system all day, and now have Nethack's OPTIONS=IBMgraphics font working in color in tty. Not quite sure how I got there, I was working on something else. The big question is, what exactly is the font: /usr/share/consolefonts/default8x16.gz ?? cp437 or cp865?? Something else? Not iso-8859-1, is it? Evidently it has the IBM-specific graphics characters and at least most of the umlaut- and accented characters. Mutt and Lynx both look good under it. When I try setting the font to iso1.f16.gz, for instance, *even* *if* mutt knows about the char font difference, the message thread arrows break, showing accented A's. If I set it to default8x16.gz, man replaces hyphens with upside down bangs. Is there a middle ground?

Printing trouble
Dear Friends,
I have installed the Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 distribution on my 486
machine called sarasvati.nio.org with 32MB RAM. This has a local HP
LaserJet 4M+ printer attatched to it over a serial port. The printer name
is mayem. Sarasvati is connected over the LAN. I have the following
strange printing problems.
All users who are local users on sarasvati can print their jobs
on the printer. Users who are not local on sarasvati cannot print their
jobs on it but can do so if they sudo to root. Window users can also
print here. I have checked the printcap file for rs: and rg: entries but
none exist. I will be very grateful in you could help me in resolving
this problem.
P.S: The printer is also simultaneously connected directly over
the network with an IP address of 172.27.15.6, being a network printer but
since there is a problem with its network card, it cannot be used that
way.

Promise Ultra 66
Is anyone using the Promise Ultra66 controller with Linux? I put my drive on it, and I get nothing when I boot the machine. The card shows on the screen with the devices, but it just flashes the characters 2FA: on the screen. If I press return, it just repeats the characters. I disabled my IDE controller on the MB, so these are the only disks. I also tried booting with a floppy with IDE support, but it won't detect it either. brian -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/

Alt Keys - Meta (under X11)
Does anyone know how to make the Alt keys generate Meta? That is I want Alt-F to generate Meta-F (under Emacs, bash, etc). I've tried setting in my XF86Config: LeftAlt Meta RightAltMeta But that didn't work. I used to work with XkbDisable uncommented (in XF86Config), but I believe that's depreciated in Debian, and anyway causes Backspace/Delete problems in various programs. So I commented it out again, and hoped to make the Alt keys generate Meta in some other way. Thanks, joostje
SMB printing problems
Hello! I've been trying to set up printing via SMB to an Epson Stylus Color 600 printer (//stephan/stylus600). The smbprint works when I call it with smbprint filename. So, I wanted that the lpd sends the files to the filter epson-filter-remote, which filters them with a magicfilter and then sends them to smbprint. But I did not succeed, although I tried to set it up according to some hints given in the debian-user archive. I attached my configuration files with their directories in a tar.gz. file. Can anyone please help me how to set it up? I'm currently using lpr 5.9-29 (from hamm, I think) under a mixed slink/potato (glibc 2.1) system. Thanks, Kind regards, Stephan Hachinger printing.tar.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data
How do I use anti-spam features of Exim?
I have a dial-up account with my IP (dynamic IP address) and I download mail with fetchmail. The mail gets passed on to exim for local delivery, using .forward to enable filtering. I have a stand-alone machine running Potato. I have upgraded Potato only yesterday so all packages are the latest. I get a few spam emails every day and had a look at www.exim.org to see if I could do anything about it. The advice was a little confusing, but I ended up with the following lines in my /etc/exim.conf: host_lookup = 0.0.0.0/0 rbl_domains = rbl.maps.vix.com/reject : relays.orbs.org/warn #rbl_reject_recipients = false #rbl_warn_header = true rbl_log_headers rbl_log_rcpt_count # The setting below locks out the use of your host as a mail relay by any # other host. See the section of the manual entitled Control of relaying # for more info. host_accept_relay = ! * : \ * I am not sure what this is supposed to do - no mention of the above appears in /var/log/exim/mainlog - I imagined that at the very least something would appear to warn me that the sender of a spam email is in the orbs database. Can anyone help me out here? Cheers. -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux 2000

no merit from using DMA-66?
Hi all, Please cc me. I am not subscribing to this list. Thanks :-) I bought a new harddisk that can do DMA-66 lately(Matrox DiamodMax 17GB). However it doesn't look like I get any merit out of it at all. I patch the kernel and everything seems to work fine. But hdparm -t result is a bit slower than a DMA-33 harddisk I was using(around 18MB/sec). I heard somewhere that one should get around 25MB/sec from DMA-66. Any idea? I am using potato, BE6 motherboard(HPT366 is DMA-66 ide controller for ide2 and ide3). Here is what I did: 1) patch the kernel(2.2.14) with the infamouse hedrick patch. config: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y # CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640_ENHANCED is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RZ1000=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y # IDEDMA_NEW_DRIVE_LISTINGS is not set IDEDMA_PCI_EXPERIMENTAL=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HPT366=y # HPT366_FAST_IRQ_PREDICTION is not set # HPT366_MODE3 is not set 2) hook the new drive to ide2 so I now have /dev/hda(DMA-33), /dev/hde(DMA-66). I have linux root filesystem on /dev/hda2(guess what I have on /dev/hda1) and /usr and /home on /dev/hde1 and /dev/hde2. 3) reboot with the new kernel. The boot message follow: PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39 PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio HPT366: onboard version of chipset, pin1=1 pin2=2 HPT366: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 98 HPT366: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide2: BM-DMA at 0xb800-0xb807, BIOS settings: hde:DMA, hdf:pio HPT366: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 99 HPT366: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide3: BM-DMA at 0xc400-0xc407, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL CX6.4A, ATA DISK drive hdc: ASUS CD-S400/A, ATAPI CDROM drive hde: Maxtor 91700U5, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 ide2 at 0xb000-0xb007,0xb402 on irq 11 hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL CX6.4A, 6149MB w/418kB Cache, CHS=784/255/63, UDMA(33) hde: Maxtor 91700U5, 16228MB w/2048kB Cache, CHS=32972/16/63, UDMA(66) hdc: ATAPI 40X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache 4) do hdparm -t with /dev/hda and /dev/hde I got: Zero:/root# hdparm -t /dev/hda ---DMA-33 /dev/hda: Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 4.04 seconds = 15.84 MB/sec Zero:/root# hdparm -t /dev/hde ---DMA-66 /dev/hde: Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 9.10 seconds = 7.03 MB/sec I did this several times and got the same result. WTF it was slower than DMA-33!! 5) I moved root file system to /dev/hde so all linux is in the same drive now. rebooted and did hdparm test again. Now I got 18MB/sec for both /dev/hda and /dev/hde. 6) I get another DMA-66 harddisk(Quantum 8GB) from a friend and hook it too ide3.

So, I guess it is a problem of linux and my configuration. Can someone help me get this right? Oh, here is harddisk config I got from hdparm(both drives have same result) multcount= 0 (off) I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq= 0 (off) using_dma= 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) nowerr = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead= 8 (on) I did fiddle with multcount, I/O support and unmaskirq but they seem to help nothing.

Re: dselect
What do you mean with apt-setup? Should that be a command in the bash? If yes, I don't have such a comand (command not found). By the way I have a multi-CD-set (Debian 2.0 German distribution). As acces-method I already tried cd-rom and multi-cd, but after update I don't get the swat-package in the select list (I used the search function and I searched manually in the list, too). Also I have tried mounting the cd-rom as /cdrom before running dselect, but after choosing the acces-method and trying to update, I always get: mount: /dev/hdb already mounted or /cdrom busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdb is already mounted on /cdrom update available list script returned error exit status 1. Press RETURN to continue. It seem that you have not pointed dselect (apt) to a more up-to-date distribution. As root, try running the apt-setup command and select a complete mirror. Then run dselect and chose the update option to get a new list of packages from the chosen source. Once the packages are updated, you are returned to the main menu and you can then enter the selection menu and have significantly more packages to choose from e from
OT: sendmail and mailing lists
I recently set up sendmail and a few mailing lists. I was wondering if there was a way, or a howto on the topic, of doing things like having the default reply to address be list, and the original sender cc'd or something similar. Right now its sort of a pain to have to reply all, then remove the original sender off the list because then he'll get two copies. Any one have info on this? -Aaron Solochek [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Frozen, rsync
Is there any way of knowing which packages from the frozen portion are already bug-free and completely ready to be included in the next release 2.2?

I wonder how usable will the slink Cds be for that purpose. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks, Antonio.

Re: How do I use anti-spam features of Exim?
Somewhat oblique response. I have a similar configuration -- dialup, dynamic ISP, fetchmail exim deliver. I'm given to understand that many MTA-based spam traps work better if you're not ferrying mail from another caching point, such as a POP3 server. In my case, my ISP (Mindscape) runs a service called spaminator. I've taken to bouncing spam to an address configured for this purpose, though I'll admit it's a bit of a black box WRT what it actually does with this information. It appears to use a source address and (spam) program signature heuristic: http://help.mindspring.com/docs/004/spaminator/CHDCDDJI.php3 I've toyed with a number of other alternatives, including setting up a local white/black/grey list type filter. Haven't yet. This also addresses only the reading issue -- all content is actually delivered to me. WBG filter involves lists of known good and bad addresses (white and black, respectively), and all others, classed as grey. The trick is list maintenance. There are a number of systems set up to handle this. It's probably a resonably decent approach. Procmail recipies are another option (and often are part of a spam solution), though I find them a bit hard to maintain, and long.

Re: support for tv-out cards ?
I imaging that most of the current TV-Out video cards will work with X if you set X to the correct resolution and refresh - color depth should have little to with it. I know that NTSC is 60Hz, so [EMAIL PROTECTED] might work, but I suspect that you may need to find exact horizontal and vertical refresh rates. Also, I have seen TV-Out running at 800x600 on a windows machine, so I know that it can be done (I don't know if it is, in reality, just a trick, or if it really is 800x600). One question, though - have you seen this card work under windows? I have never seen one of these that was good for anything other than playing video based games like X-Files and Gabriel Knight - which are windows games.

MOZILLA_HOME shouldbe set to the directory in which you installed Communicator.For example, 'setenv MOZILLA_HOME /usr/local/netscape'.If you intend to move the 'netscape' binary into another directory(like /usr/local/bin), then you must set MOZILLA_HOME in order forCommunicator to find all of its components.
