RE: Mostrar lo bueno de la Comunidad Linux.
Hola compinches, Respecto al tema de lo bueno de linux algo que indudablemante me sorprende es la excelente calidad de los programas que se ejecutan en este Hermoso sistema operativo. Cantidades de veces despues de mostrar el GIMP y moonlight me a tocado que gastar mis buenos minutos tratando de explicar porque ese software el de libre distribuccion y uso, todo el mundo pregunta ¿Y quien hace esos programas? ¿De que vive esa gente? ¿Que ganan con eso? Cualquier persona que no se sorprenda con el manual que biene con GIMP no es de este planeta.

Hola! Las últimas versiones del GhostScript de Aladdin (5 y 6) tienen soporte para usar fuentes TrueType. Lo que pasa es que por lo menos, mi paquete Slink (gs-aladdin 5.x) no las tiene activadas. ¿Sabeis si hay alguna versión compilada de este paquete con el soporte TTF?

La recomendación depende de lo que desees hacer. Si solo quieres *usar* los dos giga dentro de debian, lo mejor es darle formato y montarla en el lugar que consideres mas adecuado (/home o /usr se me hacen buenas opciones). Si quieres *unir* los dos giga a la particion existente, deberías usar partition magic (no estoy seguro de la ortografía, así que perdón de antemano).

That's a pretty common configuration. You might check where your BIOS says it's connected (F2 or something for SETUP at boot).

SIOCSIFFLAGS error
Hello, I get an SIOCSIFFLAGS : Device not found error when I try to boot up. It happens right after: Startingportmap This happened all of a sudden. It was working fine before. It freezes the entire system. I can't even Ctrl+Alt+Del. I have to manually reboot. I booted w/ Debian Rescue Disk and the boot went fine but whenever i try to boot from my kernel (2.2.14) I get this error. I should mention that this happened once before a while ago. I think I just used the Rescue Disk and then next bootup, the error went away. It didn't work this time. Thanks In Advance Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

Null Login Password and X Windows
Hello, I have an account in my Debian box that has no password assigned to it (empty password field in /etc/passwd). I can login from the console (any virtual terminal) or from a telnet session and as expected no password is required. However, when I´m logged in as some other user under X and I type ¨su x¨ at the xterm prompt I´m always asked for a password and just hitting return doesn´t work. The same happens when trying to login from GDM into X, a null password doesn´t work! Any ideas why this null password login doesn´t work under X? Thank you, -- Pedro
Xserver can't find the mouse
Hello! The cdrom finally mounts! Thanks Bruce! But... believe it or not, what actually worked was when I accidentally typed: mount sonycd /cdrom!?!?! ls /dev/sonycd still comes up empty, but the cdrom works. Im sure this is probably bad, but I was so happy it finally worked I didnt want to question it. So I went ahead and used dselect to install a number of packages, including the ones for X windows (was I bad?). I was able to find all the information for the monitor, video card, etc. and the Xf86config seemed to go fine. But now the xserver cant find the mouse! I got the final error messages at the end after typing startx (the rest of the messages are given further below): System: `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -w 1 - R/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -xkm -m us -em1 The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: -emp -eml Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server keymap/xfree86 compiled/xfree86.xkm' Fatal server error: Cannot open mouse (No such file or directory) When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). When I looked for /dev/mouse (or just plain mouse) with ls no such file was found, and MAKEDEV gives the message dont know how to make device mouse. The mouse itself is nothing special just a microsoft standard serial mouse. :-( Is there an additional package or file I need to install, or do you think this has to do with my cdrom problem?

The mouse configuration utility does that sometimes. Try to cancel it (ctrl-C or ctrl-Z), or kill the process from another virtual console.

RE: Learning Linux
Title: RE: Learning Linux You Wrote: Of course Stormix for SCSI installs is really bad. And it locks up hard on some systems because they compile in support for old proprietary cd-roms in their boot media. The look and feel of storm Linux OTOH is very nice for the newbie. Just wish they had gone with Windowmaker instead of KDE (or was it Gnome) I can't remember what they used when I installed it. Reply: I am also running stormix. I would say the install is a little flaky. It locked up on my SCSI card (2940).I switched to IDE and problem solved. There are some undocumented things which a quick phone call clears up. If it doesn't recognize your video, select text install and it will probably let you manually select you video later. Overall, Stormix is pretty good. They have an upgrade for registered users which apparently fixes the SCSI problem. I would install it, but my install works :) They way to tell is the last three digits of the CD. Mine is -101. Not the latest. By the way, web/email support is worthless. Call support is great. What more could you ask for? Support is limited to 30 days from registration, so get while you can. I would say stormix is as close to debian as you'll get with the added support for easier install and GUI(s).

Does Applix data read Oracle databases?
Hello, One of the commercial vendors' websites (I've now forgotten who) alleges in very clear terms that the Applix 5.0 Data application (in Applixware Office Suite) can open and read Oracle database files. However, the Applix web page does not make this claim. I have a rather strong need to read Oracle database files and a similarly strong aversion to laying out the dough for Oracle and then learning to use it. A friend of mine with a very fast web connection has taken a few stabs at the downloadable Oracle version and thrown up his hands in defeat trying to get it to work, and he is considerably more experienced than I. I am hoping Applixware might get me out of this quandary. Does anyone on this list use Applixware and know whether it can open and read Oracle files? I don't need to do anything to the files, just read them. (They are US Government files obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.) Thanks very much.

Those would be the port numbers methinks. If I'm not mistaken, it'd be typical to establish a connection to a web server on port 80, but the data transfers would go over a high port. Otherwise you'd only be able to have one client connected to the server at any given point in time. But I could have that all wrong. -- ¶ One·should·only·use·the·ASCII·characterset·when·compos » ing·email·messages.

XDM Configuration Problems
Hi, I am trying to edit the xdm configuration files so that I don't boot into a graphical login. It's probably very easy but since this is the first time doing this I don't want to experiment too much in case I do serious damage!! Regards, Daniel.

Re: XDM Configuration Problems
OK, thanks. But do I just rename all the files in that directory or the directory itself? I am very paranoid about damaging my system so I wanna get it right first time. Also, if I use the method suggested won't I get an error message of some kind when I boot-up, saying xdm not found or something like that? Regards, Daniel. Chad A.

Thanks to all
Hi! I'd just like to say thanks to all who sent me help on modules, new/mail, emacs etc. (sorry this took so long, I only have time to deal with Linux on weekends). You're a nice bunch of people. In the future, I'll try to be more careful and not raise flame and holy wars on personal things like emacs.

Mounting non Debian partitions
Have only just managed to install Debian 2.1, after giving up many times. Now mostly it all works, all I need to do is hang in there. Normally using redhat, I now need to shift configurations etc but when in deb. and I try to mount any linux partition that is not debian, mount balks with this error - $ mount -t ext2 /dev/hda9 /rh6 EXT2-fs: 03:09: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features mount: wrong filesystem etc. etc. or too many etc. etc. ( the usual complaint) -- Working out of redhat there is no problem in mounting other distributions partitions/filesystems, at least I haven't had any to date and the result is the same from fstab Is this a known problem, will an upgrade fix things. I am currently using RH 6.2.Have I missed some changes in the ext2 fs? All info appreciated. -- russ
how to close ports
Hello... I used nmap to check what ports were open on my box; I found some questionable open ports... such as 2 unknown ports, 1 listen port, ...and what actually is the sunrpc port for?

As root: $ update-rc.d -f xdm remove $ ln -s /etc/init.d/xdm /etc/rc6.d/K20xdm #need at least one link Whether or not a particular service/daemon runs in a particular runlevel is controlled by the symbolic links from /etc/rc?.d/[S|K][NN]package to /etc/init.d/package.

I am currently using RH 6.2.Have I missed some changes in the ext2 fs? Believe this is the more recent change in ext2 filesystem structure. There's some new sparse superblock things and a different default block size. Debian 2.1 is getting a bit old. Since you've just installed, and probably don't have too much invested in your Debian setup, I'd suggest immediately upgrading to Potato (aka frozen). Simply change you apt sources (/etc/apt/sources.list) to point to something like: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free (pick an appropriate mirror...) Then do apt-get update followed by apt-get dist-upgrade. If you installed alot of software this'll take a long time over a modem. But the newer software should make it worthwhile. -- ¶ One·should·only·use·the·ASCII·characterset·when·compos » ing·email·messages.
Re: how to close ports
I used nmap to check what ports were open on my box; I found some questionable open ports... such as 2 unknown ports, 1 listen port, these are most probably from icq, xdm, etc. they are not at fixed positions; the first available port is used mostly. selectively kill running programs and daemons and see, which ports close. ...and what actually is the sunrpc port for? this is the portmapper. some services (eg, nfs) need it. probably you can remove the start link from /etc/rcS.d. Should I, and how can I, close these ports? (Or am I being a bit too paranoid?) it's always a good idea to close all unnecessary ports. if you cannot get rid of them without killing important programs, set up a simple firewall. but possibly i'm paranoid, too. *ggg* -- Hi!

Riku == Riku Saikkonen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Riku This should mean, as far as I know, that seminar is DFSG Riku free nowadays. (Most of LaTeX2e appears to be licensed under Riku the same LPPL license.) Wow! Thanks for that (not that I have looked for followups in debian-user yet, will look tomorrow). Riku Given this, I don't know why seminar is still in Riku tetex-nonfree. Perhaps I should file a bug report? Yes, please do. Chances are that the maintainer hasn't realized. Which isn't surprising considering the number of packages for LaTeX. Also, gs often produces the following fatal gs error when viewing it with gv. :-(. Riku I haven't seen that, but then, I haven't produced more than Riku a few sets of slides. Use xdvi as a workaround? xdvi doesn't work for overlays. It seems like Tim is now actively maintaining the software again. Yah! Hopefully, he will fix the known bugs without requiring the work around, seminar.bug and seminar.bg2. However, I think this problem might be with dvips and/or gs. Will investigate in more detail later. Anyone know any tips for debugging postscript?

Now if I type 'startx' in console my screen goes black and EPL I can only kill the X server. Should I put Xwrapper somewhere EPL into my rc files? How? What's commonly referred to as Xwrapper is just that: it's a so-called wrapper program that does some work (in this case, getting necessary permissions and dropping root priviledges) and the starts the real X server. On a normal Debian installation, such a wrapper exists; it's the (short binary) file /usr/X11R6/bin/X. That looks at /etc/X11/Xserver, and decides whether or not to allow the X server to be run, and if it does allow it, which server. It sounds like the problem you're having is that your X server is just misconfigured. This is a bit difficult to deal with on a mailing list, especially without details of your hardware and what you're tried to configure. EPL How dangerous is it to run Xserver as suid root if I am not connected EPL to any network? IMHO, it should be fairly safe to run an X server suid root. The XFree86 tree has been around for a while, and the idea of an X wrapper is actually relatively new. Still, though, I don't think there's a particularly good reason to punt Debian's X setup; this doesn't sound like a permissions problem. You might try something along the lines of 'startx xlog 21' to get a listing of all of the messages X spits out in the file xlog and looking in there to see if there are any hints.

Can you give me any hints, which software I should use, to get this configuration? Or is there any HOWTO, which deals with such a situation?

Re: Kernel still not fine
Hello To me it sounds like faulty hardware - do you get the same fault at the same time every time? I see you're inserting the cdrom module... is it always the cdrom module that causes this? Try removing the line cdrom from /etc/modules.conf - you'll need to boot off a rescue disk or use lilo in single user mode ( LILO: linux single) when booting. Someone reported on having the same messages. Yes, the CD drive works perfectly under Windoze, using it under debian ain't a problem either?!

Re: Xwrapper? Thanks
On 7 May 2000, David Z Maze wrote: What's commonly referred to as Xwrapper is just that: it's a so-called wrapper program that does some work (in this case, getting necessary permissions and dropping root priviledges) and the starts the real X server. On a normal Debian installation, such a wrapper exists; it's the (short binary) file /usr/X11R6/bin/X. That looks at /etc/X11/Xserver, and decides whether or not to allow the X server to be run, and if it does allow it, which server. The /etc/X11/Xserver was the key to the problem. Now X runs well as normal and super user. Thanks! Now my computer is better place to live:) Esko Lehtonen PS. EPL How dangerous is it to run Xserver as suid root if I am not connected EPL to any network? IMHO, it should be fairly safe to run an X server suid root. Ok. I suppose it was XFree86-Howto where 'strongly discouraged' running X server as suid root. That's why I was concerned.
NFS: sigpending lied?
When mounting from a NFS server, I get the following error message on a client running potato whenever I access any NFS mounted volume: kernel: SIG: sigpending lied I can mount, but when I try to unmount the mount process hangs. This happens with one client only, the others are fine. No obvious problems on the server side either with this particular client. All machines (server and clients) are running potato. I don't have the faintest idea what this error msg means. Any hints appreciated. -- Philip Lehman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So I do even I haven't yet tried install KDE to Debian. You mentioned dependency problems. Well, what kinds of dependencies?

Problem moving /usr to new partition
I've got potato installed on a 1.5GB partition, and have another hard drive with an available 2GB partition (type 82 Linux, formatted ext2fs) on to which I want to move /usr. I copied the contents of /usr on to the new partition, then edited /etc/fstab, moved the original /usr to /usr-old and created a new /usr. When I rebooted, most everything seemed to work, but I noticed a handful of error messages scrolling by. The only one I had time to read was that /usr/bin/aumix couldn't be found (because it's called when the sound module is loaded into the kernel (to turn the volume on my SB16 down to 50%), but /usr hadn't been mounted yet. I couldn't find it or any of the other failures to load something from /usr in any of the log files in /var/log, so I'm not sure what's missing. _Most_ things seem to work properly, but a few things fail miserably (for example, 'man' tells me it can't setuid properly and aborts). I commented out the line in /etc/fstab and moved contents of /usr-old back to /usr and everything works properly now. My question is: what else do I need to do to move /usr onto a new partition and have Linux boot properly? I re-read the HOWTOs and can't find any mention of anything other than what I tried. Help! Thanks, Larry
