[OFFTOPIC] CD's de Potato
Buenas. Por fin despues de muchiiisimo tiempo pidiendo a la gente que si por favor me podian pasar unos CD's de Potato aunque fueran de hace dos meses. El otro dia me decidi a buscarme las habichuelas por mi mismo y consegui milagrosamente descargar y crear unos CD's de Potato. Los he probado y aparte de un error de CRC en el Acrobat, el resto va bien. A mi por lo menos solo me interesa para tener la base de Potato y actualizarme por internet, asi que viendo que la base funciona... pa que quiero mas. La cuestion es que de la lista solo hubo un debianero que se ofrecio a pasarmelo cuando lo tuviera, y ya que lo he conseguido yo antes que el, pensaba pasarselo, pero no se donde he dejado su direccn de correo. Bueno, menos rollo y a lo que vamos. Si a alguien le interesa, se quiere acercar a Barcelona y tiene posibilidades de hacer copias, podriamos ponernos de acuerdo, no? La imagen que he utilizado es la que esta en ftp://ftp.kando.hu Para ponernos de acuerdo mejor mensajes en privado, no es cuestion de sobrecargar la lista. TA LUEG. Quimi.

Dudas sobre shaper
Hola Segun lo que he leido para implementar el shaper hay que seleccionarlo en forma de modulo y esta incluido entre otros en linux 2.2 Tengo el 2.2.16 y lo he compilado con firewall, masquerade etc pero no se me presenta el shaper para seleccionarlo como modulo. Alquien me puede indicar como es que tengo que hacer para seleccionarlo. Otra duda sobre lo mismo en una parte de la documentacion dice que el shaper regula el caudal saliente, esto de saliente y entrante (rshaper) sin dar el punto de referencia me trae duda Yo lo que deseo es limitar a una subred el consumo de ancho de banda o sea poder repartir mi ancho de banda adecuadamente. Para lograr esto que tengo que usar el shaper o el rshaper ? Saludos y gracias - Humberto Morell ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Disco duro UDMA 66 en una controladora UDMA 33.
Hola a todos, Recientemente he comprado un disco duro, un Fujitsu de 13.2 Gb UDMA 66, tengo un PII 300 en una placa con chipset i440LX, he puesto el disco como master en el primer canal y todo va bien, excepto que no consigo que funcione en modo DMA, cuando le hago un hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda se pone en modo DMA, pero al acceder al disco da un error, algo así como Bad seek request y desactiva el modo DMA, lo que no se es si los discos UDMA 66 pueden funcionar en UDMA 33 y el problema es del disco o si por el contrario los discos UDMA 66 no funcionan en modo DMA con una controladora UDMA 33, El otro disco que tengo, un Seagate de 10 Gb es UDMA 33 y funciona sin problemas en modo DMA, y con un hdparm -t /dev/hdX me da mas de 13 Mb/s mientras que el Fujitsu que no se quiere poner en modo DMA solo funciona a 3.8 Mb/s. Saludos.

Hola lista Mi jefe instalo la Corel Linux en una pc y la configuró como servidor (con Ameba) yo uso la Debian y otros dos compañeros tambien utilizan la Corel. Dado que todos somos novatos en Linux no tenemos ni idea de como configurar una intranet, el entorno de la Corel es como el de winsos95 (utiliza fmw95) y es muy facil de usar, necesito de su ayuda para que me ayuden a montar esta intranet, necesito empezar desde lo mas basico, como configurar las tarjetas de red, ¿tengo que crear usuarios en el servidor ? ¿ como se hace ?, la Corel trae algo asi como un entorno de red muy parecido al de winsos pero yo uso la debian con wmaker+gnome, ¿que aplicaciones necesito para conectarme al servidor ? ¿como me conecto al servidor ? ¿como se comparten aplicaciones?. Por lo pronto me urge configurar las tarjetas de red y conectarme al servidor para poder continuar con este proyecto de lo contrario van a quitar el servidor y no se van a dar cuenta de la buena herramienta que es Linux para una red. La corel utiliza el kernel de Debian (creo que no es el Kernel porque este debe ser Linux, lo que quiero decir es que se pueden instalar archivos *.deb y utiliza estas opciones propias de Debian) por lo que hay que aprovecharlas. gracias a todos de antemano.

AFAIK una intranet es simplemente una red local que usa las herramientas típicas de internet (WWW, ftp, maillist, etc). Clientes para todas esas herramientas las tienes a puñaos en Debian y en otras distros. La conexión al servidor depende de la aplicación que vayas a usar, si es con un navegador web, pues poniendo http://elnombredelservidordetujefe, etcétera. Pero vamos por partes, Por lo pronto me urge configurar las tarjetas de red y conectarme al servidor para poder continuar con este proyecto de lo contrario van a quitar el servidor y no se van a dar cuenta de la buena herramienta que es Linux para una red. Para configurar la tarjeta ethernet tendrás que tener un fichero /etc/init.d/network tal que este: #!/bin/sh ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 route add -net 127.0.0.0 ifconfig eth0 `hostname` netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add -net 172.16.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 donde deberás poner el número de IP de tu red en vez de 172.16.1.0. Como imagino que no tendréis un servidor de nombres ni cosas de esas necesitarás configurar el fichero hosts, donde pondrás algo como esto: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain 172.16.2.1 doramas.ainili-lp.net doramas 172.16.1.2 speedy.ainili.net speedy 172.16.1.3 piolin.ainili.net piolin 172.16.1.4 coyote.ainili.net coyote 172.16.1.5 silvestre.ainili.net silvestre 172.16.1.6 correcaminos.ainili.net correcaminos 172.16.1.7 jerry.ainili.net jerry 172.16.1.8 tom.ainili.net tom con los numeros de ip y los nombres de los pc de tu jefe, el tuyo y el de tus compañeros. Con esto ya deberías poder hacer ping a las máquinas de tu red. Una vez que el ping te funcione ya tienes comunicación y empieza la configuración de las aplicaciones, www, ftp, etc. Para compartir ficheros puedes usar NFS, en este caso el/los PC que vayan a compartir su espacio en disco deben tener un fichero /etc/exports tal que este: # /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported # to NFS clients. See exports(5). /cdrom *.ainili.net /floppy *.ainili.net /pub*.ainili.net En este fichero se definen que directorios van a ser compartidos, quien va a tener acceso a ellos y que clase de acceso. El usuario que quiera utilizar uno de estos recursos sólo tendría que ejecutar : mount maquinaremota:/cdrom /micdrom Y ya se puede ver el contenido del cdrom del jefe, o de cualquier otro PC, en el mundo Linux todos los PC son servidores y pueden compartir ficheros, impresoras, etcétera.

RE: SCWM/GNOME
From: Patrick Dahiroc [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] i'm switching window managers from enlightenment to scwm (it's about time i learn lisp). i'm using gdm as my display manager, which - correct me if i'm wrong - simply runs gdmchooser, gdmlogin, and gnome-session or Xsession depending on which session i choose. (gnome-session is called by the script /etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome) You might want to take a look at Sawfish. I use the Sawfish that came with Helix Gnome. Unlike scwm, Sawfish does work with Gnome. Also, Sawfish is customized and extensible in Lisp. I think it complements Gnome quite well (Sawfish is _just_ a window manager, unlike some out there (I've never used scwm, so I can't comment on it much)). Larry

Until I did that, it would not work absolutely, and in syslog I would get a message about Tx/Rx timing out, possible IRQ loss.

Can't Write To Temporary User Settings Files During Install
I compiled a new kernel that included Compaq Smart Array support. I ran the following rdev files on it (I got these from looking at the rdev.sh file on the rescue floppy): rdev -R linux 1 rdev -r linux 0 rdev -v linux -1 rdev linux /dev/ram0 I then copied the kernel onto the rescue floppy. The install runs (and recognizes my smart array controller). When the setup scripts start, however, it asks me for my keyboard type. When I try to select it, I get the error: Can't write to temporary user settings file /tmp/keybd_settings. I assume it means that it cannot write to the RAM disk (it wouldn't try to write to the floppy, and the hard drive isn't even partitioned yet). Any clues as to what's up? Thanks. A.

Cause: the SANE Mustek backend looks for a model id signature in the device information it gets from the scanner to decide which specific Mustek model this is. Mustek have changed this signature in recent 12000SP models and so the backend won't recognize the scanner. You can check if this really is your problem by turning on debugging (environment vars SANE_DEBUG and SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK, IIRC - try man sane-mustek) and look at what scanimage says. If you see a message starting attach: unknown model, it is. Solution: get the sources of latest official SANE release (1.0.2, I think) from http://www.mostang.com/sane/, upgrade the Mustek backend source to a more up-to-date version from SANE Mustek Backend Homepage http://www.swb.de/~vortex/sane/ (current is 1.0-88, but anything up from 0.74 should do) and build SANE yourself.

It includes a book published by O'Reilly. There is nothing in the book about installing printers. I've read the 50 page HOWTO on printing and read the mailing list archives. I have read about lpr, lpd, magicfilter, apsfilter, printcap, and several other details but have found nothing on how to print. What do I do first? Do I use modconf to tell whatever that there is a parallel port? Do I edit the printcap file? If so, what do I say in it for my HP LaserJet 4P? Do I type in magicfilterconfig and answer questions? So far I have the command line only. I'm reluctant to try the install of X windows as it sounds very complicated with several choices. If I install X windows first, is there a GUI print configure program? Eventually I want to install the HP LaserJet as a network printer but for now a printer directly attached to the Linus parallel port is OK. - Sent using MailStart.com ( http://MailStart.Com/welcome.html ) The FREE way to access your mailbox via any web browser, anywhere!

Sure can. Fact is , that's how I been doing it. There's also the proper Debian method, called make-kpkg.

I am basically shopping for a new distro. Yeah, I've dealt with RedHat a couple of times. I put it onto my laptop, where it lasted all of about an hour before I got rid of it and went back to Debian. I find the package management under Debian - using apt - to be *much* easier than dealing with rpm's. apt also has far better dependancy handling than what I saw with RedHat. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | Where do you want to go today? | As far from Redmond as possible!

Looking for a package, but don't know what to call it
Hiya folks. Got a bit of a question - not exactly sure how to phrase this so please try and bear with me. At the university I attend, the CS department has a central server named naur. There are CS labs scattered around the university, including some across town. Now, from any of those labs when you logon, you basically get connected automatically to naur. All of the account info is (I presume) stored on naur as well. What I'm wondering is: 1) What's this sytem called? 2) Is this doable with Linux? (I'm guessing it is) 3) Is this doable with Debian using regular packages that are apt-getable? I've got my desktop box here that I want to make the server for this. Various other boxes will be the clients, starting with my laptop. I'm sorry to ask such a vague question. I'd go search myself, but I don't know where to start. If I could get even just the name of this system, that'd be a huge help - at least I'd know what to search on. ::grin:: -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | Where do you want to go today? | As far from Redmond as possible!

If I install X windows first, is there a GUI print configure program? printop, but it only allows you to _manage_ de lpd, not to _configure_ the printer. Taupter
apt-move, merge ??
apt-move rocks! The idea of building a partial local mirror using debs downloaded by apt-get is right on. But here's the deal. I have multiple debian (potato) machines on my network, and only one with the disk space for a mirror. It's a server and doesn't have X installed. However, pretty much all the other Linux boxen on the net will have X installed. So how do I download those packages only once? Obviously I have room to build a temporary mirror on a client box (or apt-get wouldn't work in the first place). Is there a straightforward way to merge the debs on the client box into my partial mirror on my server? TIA, Pann -- geek by nature, Linux by choice L I N U X .~.

RE: RE: Samba Setup
Hello I setup and got Samba working with a Win95 machine. Under the My Computer you right click on the item you want to share and select Sharing from that menu and set up the item for sharing. It's pretty easy to understand. In the Control Panel, Network, setup your you'r Windows system to have the same Workgroup name that you are in on your Linux system. And give your Windows box a unique Computer name. Then you have to edit your samba.conf file on your Linux system according to the instructions. I was able to edit most of this without looking at the instructions much, as most of the file samba.conf file is setup in a logical fashion. I used a text editor. You can even set up your Linux home directory as a share. Then when you login on Windows and click on Network Neighborhood you will have access to your home directory. You can even setup your home directory to be seen from My Computer be doing a little drive mapping. FYI, you have to have your Windows network setup with an IP address and NetEUI for all this to work. The thing I never did figure out how to do was to access the windows shares from Linux. This was because my wife started whining about how since I setup a network that it was slowing down her computer.

Thanks Jay I'm not sure how to set up Samba to function as a domain controller, which your question implies you're trying to do. However, if you're just trying to share out stuff, like hard drives, folders, and printers, do the following. You'll need to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to define your shares; with the comments sprinkled throughout, it's fairly intuitive for the basics. (You can also use SWAT (apt-get install swat) for a web-based configuration tool, but I've never had any success with it.) Then, IIRC, you'll need to run smbpasswd to assign a username/password to the people you want to give access to. Finally, on the Windows box, you would simply map a drive to \\YourLinuxComputer'sName\TheShareDefinedInSmb.conf.

Don't know here - IIRC identifying the keyboard is the second step in the installation after setting colour or monochrome. Disk partitioning comes after that, and until the disk is partitioned and formatted, it can't be used so the installation must have to use the ram disk. It shouldn't have any trouble writing to the ram disk but is, so I'd guess that although it should be trying to write to the ram disk, it's actually trying to write somewhere else and that's why it's erroring. Can you try a df at this point, to see what filesystems are mounted and where? Permissions on /tmp ? Can you create a file in /tmp ? LeeE -- http://www.spatial.freeserve.co.uk ...or something

So like the idiot that I am, I added my problem with Helix to this discussion, not thinking straight enough to realize that my problem was with KDE, not Helix. I reckon I need to get one of them Stupid signs to display. So here's my real problem with Helix: when I run gdm, it brings up a gnome login screen that if I accept the default X session of Gnome, dumps me into a screen with a Gnome-ish file-browser-type window that is partially off the screen and with a Gnome Tips window. I can close the tips window, but I can't access the title bar of the file-browser to move it or close it, etc. There is not Gnome taskbar (with the foot and other icons), and clicking on bare desktop background doesn't bring up any pop-up menus, no matter which button I use. So it appears that the install is broken on my machine. If anyone knows the solution, great; if not, no biggie; like I said, I've just put HelixGNOME on the back burner for now. Sounds like there's no window manager running. If I use the Gradient theme for Sawmill, the Sawmill window manager eventually crashes out and leaves all my windows in this state. I can close them via the File menu, if present. What I do, apart from not using the Gradient theme, is to select another window manager via the Gnome Control Centre, try it, and revert back to Sawmill to restart it. Mind you, I run a Gnome session, so I still have the Gnome Panel when Sawmill crashes. LeeE -- http://www.spatial.freeserve.co.uk ...or something

If rlogin is currently insecure, why don't people make it secure? What makes it so hard? I'm not sure, but think the main insecurity of rlogin (and sisters) is that these send everything in clear text. Depending on your situation this may be a security risk. Any known security holes should be fixed in the deb. Holes and risks are not quite the same, I guess. If you need rlogin functionality, install ssh and slogin, scp or ssh instead of rlogin, rcp and rsh. -- Olaf Meeuwissen Epson Kowa Corporation, Research and Development
dropping support for cvsweb in debian
Hi, I'm the maintainer of the cvsweb package for Debian. Since I took on maintaining cvsweb, I have fixed about 10 very stupid bugs. Several of these could be security holes. Cvsweb is great in concept, but the implementation is quite lacking. The design is such that I expect security holes and stupid bugs will contine to crop up unless a fuill rewrite is done. Luckily, we have such a rewrite. It's called viewcvs and is already a part of debian unstable. I've been playing around with it for a few hours, and it is a near exact clone of cvsweb's user interface, and seems to not be vulnerable to any of the problems I've found in cvsweb. So I'm thinking about dropping cvsweb from Debian unstable entirely. Viewcvs could then Replace it. I'd like to know what any interested parties feel about this plan. -- see shy jo

RE: RE: Samba Setup
That's easy..i.e. viewing and accessing a Windows 95/98/NT share from a Linux box. Use smbclient or smbmount. For example, say you have a shared directory on the M$ Windows box (c:\My Documents on the computer Windoze), on your Linux box, execute the following to make sure the share is available for either viewing/ accessing or mounting: smbclient -U% -L windoze I can't quite recall how the output screen looks like (since I am writing this using a M$ Windoze program...yup would you believe it! The company which I work for does not allow any other OS! [EMAIL PROTECTED]) but it should show you the the available shares on Windoze and also the names of other computers on the same subnet (domain?). To access the shared directory (similar to using ftp) issue the following command: smbclient //windoze/My Documents -U username(Note the inverted commas as the path includes a space) You will be prompted for a password: Password: Type in the corresponding password for the user username. You should then see the smb prompt: smb The commands should be similar to ftp commands. If you want to skip the password step, execute the following: smbclient //windoze/My Documents -U username -P password But this allows someone overlooking you shopulder to view your password in clear text (which is why I prefer the latter without the -P). For mounting a smb share, execute the following: smbmount -o username=username,password=password //windoze/My Documents /mount point/ To check that the mount was successful, do a: df -h I use this quite frequently in my previous company for performing backup of Windoze boxes to Linux boxes using Samba!

You can even set up your Linux home directory as a share. Then when you login on Windows and click on Network Neighborhood you will have access to your home directory. You can even setup your home directory to be seen from My Computer be doing a little drive mapping. FYI, you have to have your Windows network setup with an IP address and NetEUI for all this to work. The thing I never did figure out how to do was to access the windows shares from Linux.

Thanks Jay I'm not sure how to set up Samba to function as a domain controller, which your question implies you're trying to do. However, if you're just trying to share out stuff, like hard drives, folders, and printers, do the following. You'll need to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to define your shares; with the comments sprinkled throughout, it's fairly intuitive for the basics. (You can also use SWAT (apt-get install swat) for a web-based configuration tool, but I've never had any success with it.) Then, IIRC, you'll need to run smbpasswd to assign a username/password to the people you want to give access to. Finally, on the Windows box, you would simply map a drive to \\YourLinuxComputer'sName\TheShareDefinedInSmb.conf.

Kernel bugs in 2.2.x
I've just read from http://geocrawler.com/lists/3/Linux/35/150/3977992 Alan Cox admitted that there are faults in 2.2.x VM, that would affect transaction at high load. I'm developing a database server on Debian which is presently upgraded to woody, and the kernel is 2.2.x. The result of this development project would affect my company's impression on Linux as a whole. Had it failed, my company would forget adopting Linux forever. Since it's too late to rollback to slink, can I just recompile the 2.0.3.x kernel on this already-upgraded-server and left the packages in woody distribution untouch? Please kindly advise. Your advise would save the future of Linux here. Thanks. Dragon
