Potato
Tengo una slink y quisiera instalarme la Potato, porque cada vez que quero instalar algun paquete mas nuevo tengo que actualizar muchas librerias. Me conviene esperar a que salga la version definitiva o trato de conseguir la que hay ahora. Alguien sabe si ya hay fecha de salida para Potato. Gracias por adelantado y saludos.
RE: /dev/lp0
Hace dos semanas en la compañia compraron unos servidores Compaq, No le instalaron el Smart Start y creo que por eso no detectaban el /dev/p0.

Lo que quiero preguntarles es lo siguiente: 1- Puedo usar el getway del NT como salida internet ?? la direccion 129.9.201.1 la utilizamos en winsos para esto mediante un proxy-client, ¿puedo hacer esto con la intranet Linux?? Si lo que quieres decir es si puede salir un linux a traves de un NT, por supuesto que si. Esto es lo que quiero decir, que desde mi Linux pueda usar la salida del NT para conectarme a internet, ¿como hago eso? en winsos utilzo un programa que me configura el proxy, existe algo asi para Linux o se puede hacer de otra forma? Si lo que querias decir es si puedes hacer lo mismo, pero utilizando un linux en vez de un NT, para salir a internet, pues tambien (y mejor). Esto debe ser mucho mejor, pero no creo que me den permiso de hacer esto, ¿se podria tener el NT y el Linux como salida a internet o solo puede ser uno? si se pueden tener ambos me animaria a intentarlo con Linux, si me pueden ayudar se los agradezco. Por partes: a) El entorno de red. Para poder ver las maquinas linux a traves del entorno de red de los windows, tienes que configurar un programa llamado 'samba'. En él, defines, al igual que en windows, que recursos quieres compartir entre los linux y los windows. Hasta que no hagas eso, no podrás ver los recursos de los linux en el entorno de red de windows, por lo menos no a traves del entorno de red. Eso no quita para que puedas acceder al resto de 'servicios' que ofrecen las maquinas linux. Ya puedo ver el servidor de Linux desde el entorno de red de las maquinas winsos, ahora estoy leyendo lo de compartir recursos para clientes winsos.

Say you have uptimed and uprecords-cgi installed, and you want to remove uprecords-cgi. By your logic, it would be right for uptimed to be removed since nothing else depends on it, even though uptimed is perfectly usable without uprecords-cgi. Also, keep in mind that a package may be depended on by locally-installed (or even locally-written) software. dpkg/apt would have no idea of this dependancy, but things would break if those packages were removed. apt-get remove will remove C in your example, and any packages that depend on C (and packages depending on those, etc).

And note that it will be run any time the system enters runlevel 2, not just at boottime. Adding the symlink from /etc/rcS.d is the best solution. I don't know the policy if there is any on this topic(?), but you can always have an @reboot entry in root's crontabs. See the Debian Policy Manual, section 3.3.

Hiya i am trying to copy lots of image files from my Debian box to a shared ntfs drive on my NT box. look at what happens : lelouvre /home/cdcut/CDWed# cp -af 00 /win2k/images cp: /win2k/images/00/16/52/59/1652592a.tif: Operation not permitted cp: /win2k/images/00/16/52/59/1652593a.tif: Operation not permitted cp: /win2k/images/00/16/52/59/1652591a.tif: Operation not permitted cp: /win2k/images/00/16/52/59/1652594a.tif: Operation not permitted As you can see... i get this error message Operation not permitted which i don't understand... the files do seem to be successfuly copying regardless of the error message. permissions on /win2k/images is : drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 512 Jul 18 2000 /win2k/images Total files to copy is about 350M but when it gets to about 150-190M it suddenly stops copying files...df -h hangs too as it will not bring up the ntfs share /win2k. It is as if the mounted drive has fallen off. There is nothing in the event log of the NT box either. Anyone know what is going on? thanx Zane

from slink to potato - 'wd' ethernet card?
Hi, I'm thinking that it might be nice to upgrade for potato now when I've got slink working more or less well. My problem with installing directly potato did not work, because the wd module needed for my old ethernet card did not work with the kernel. It was pointed out by 'Nathan' on this list that the problem is with the kernel. But if I upgrade for potato by changing the apt sources for 'frozen', what would happen to my networking? (All the network sevrvices seem to be working with slink, but potato I didn't manage to install at all, because of that module...) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: unable to unmount
Title: RE: unable to unmount Hi, I'm just a bit confused about that stuff, too... I suppose your nfsd daemon is not considering access to your cdrom device until there is a nfs request to mount it. You could issue an lsof command on your nfs daemon before and after a nfs mount request on it, and a while then, to compare. With the exportfs trick, I only suggest you force the nfs daemon to release any access it _could_ have on the cdrom device. HTH Thierry Hi, I have just one more question. This problem wouldnt happen if I just mount the cdrom on the server, use it locally and after sometime I can unmount it. Then also nfsd should be accessing it as /cdrom is there in my exports list and preventing me from umounting? I am confused... Could you clarify, Suresh On Fri, Jul 14, 2000 at 01:55:49PM +0200, Michalowski Thierry wrote: Your problem is that you exported the CDROM with nfsd, and thus nfsd is still accessing it, even if nobody accesses your machine through nfs.

FirstRing's India call center agents have the capacity to handle voice communication to and from North America, process e-mails, engage in interactive chat, process faxes and mail, and provide data entry services.

The global trend among companies is towards outsourcing non-core areas.This has spawned a whole range of outsourcing of remote processing services to India. Services include medical and legal transcription, data processing, HR, remote customer interaction (call centre), data digitization and GIS, back-office operation, revenue accounting, insurance processing, and animation. This has opened a huge employment opportunity in India besides the valuable foreign exchange that will accrue to the national exchequer. Why India? The unbundling of the largely labour-intensive activities is driven by cost advantages, making India the hottest outsourcing destination world-wide. Setting an offshore remote processing centre in India and executing the project involve a cost savings of about 40 percent. India has the additional advantage of being the second largest English-speaking IT manpower in the world.The improved satellite-based telecommunication network, which has enabled almost instantaneous high-speed transfer of voice and data, has been one of the contributory factors. In most of the centres, the operations are being run on a round-the-clock basis. The time zone difference is also in India's favour. Above all, the removal of trade barriers has added the needed impetus to the offshore outsourcing services. What Future Holds for India? According to a recent Nasscom-McKinsey report, over the next eight years, India could corner about 12 percent of the projected $142 billion global market for IT-enabled services. The study projects that India could be making as much as $9 billion from these services by 2004 and by 2008, it could be earning $17 billion a year. Addressing the recently concluded IT Asia conference in Delhi, Prof. Dertouzos of Massachusetts Institute of Technology said that the total manpower that can deliver quality back-office work or information services in India is around 50 million.

Hello, I work with special designed embedded computers that we have on forklifts for warehouse management. The PC consists of one type II PCMCIA slot, where we have the harddrive. Usually a SunDisk (flash), or a Calluna disk. And it also got two type III PCMCIA for network/radio cards. Now I have a problem. I want to install debian on this computer. I have for the moment a SunDisk with 175Mb capacity. I've made one 40Mb (MS-DOS) partition on it, with the debian installation files. But this computer doesn't have a floppy drive, and we cannot connect one either. There is no CD-ROM either. I wonder if there is a debian install package that I can run from ms-dos and just install everything without having to put in any floppies. I only have Windows 9x and NT workstations with PCMCIA slots, no linux machine. I can also boot from one of the type III PCMCIA slots and install on the type II slot, and make the linux partitions there. All I need to know if is there is or will be available a complete install package for ms-dos. I can install the rest from a network, with a network card running ne2000 compatible drivers from the type III slot. I hope you understand what my problems is.

Dont' stick to the Leave on password thing; make different accounts for the Kiosk- and normal users. The people who told you about the loop already gave you the solution for Kiosk mode users. The warnings about MIME (Java/ JavaScript/ Stylesheets) in Netscape are serious! If you want a more complicated and, as the whole thing runs as root, different approach, see the Kiosk (or was it Kiosk-Mode?)-HOWTO with detailled instructions. You will get the idea there. Another way: - run the loop as user - set the kiosk user's shell not to a real shell - don't use a window manager for the kiosk user - Hotkeys and so on are usually disabled in XF86Config's server flag section. Don't enable DontZap, you will never be happy without because Netscape is _far_ from stable. - use xdm and write the account name and password into its greeting msg so that any anonymous user can restart Netscape on his/her own - Write useful key combinations (CTRL ALT BS, ALT F7) onto the monitor... - Secure the user Netscape's preferences and bookmarks (root.kiosk 640, YMMV) - Don't forget to set up a part of the loop that removes all files that don't belong to Netscape, and Netscape's lock file (see the Kiosk HOWTO). - if you want them to be able to save pages to floppies, use autofs The whole thing will _definitely_ compromize security. btw, what's the difference between keycodes and keysyms?

For the starting of x-windows, I guess you could but startx in .login in the users home-dir. The netscape part it quite a bit more difficult ( I guess you can start it using .Xsession or something, but you'll have to check the docs of that for more info), the closing part, here the idea I got on that ( I can't provide it to you because I'm not good at c): Create a c-program that starts netscape and include signal.h that intercepts the SIGTERM, when the SIGTERM arrives the user is prompted for a password (netscape will be closed at that moment), if the password is correct, the program is terminated and netscape isn't running anymore, if the password is incorrect, netscape is restarted.

On Mon, Jul 17, 2000 at 09:19, virtanen wrote: I'm thinking that it might be nice to upgrade for potato now when I've got slink working more or less well. My problem with installing directly potato did not work, because the wd module needed for my old ethernet card did not work with the kernel. It was pointed out by 'Nathan' on this list that the problem is with the kernel. The problem is not actually with the kernel per se, but with the kernel compiled for the boot floppy you used. I have potato running on a box with a wd80x3 NIC, and I installed it from scratch. I had to use the ide flavor (or was it idepci?) of the boot floppies to do so. You could search the debian-testing list for my comments on the situation. But if I upgrade for potato by changing the apt sources for 'frozen', what would happen to my networking? (All the network sevrvices seem to be working with slink, but potato I didn't manage to install at all, because of that module...) Upgrading will not change the kernel so your networking services will continue to work just fine. When you do get around to upgrading your kernel (a good idea) either compile your own or select the idepci flavor of the kernel image. If you're using lilo to boot, the kernel-image package will arrange for you to be able to boot from using your new kernel image or your old kernel image when lilo is run as part of the package install.

This often happens for filesystems that does not support user permissions (like FATxx). However, NTFS DOES SUPPORT PERMISSIONS. Are using NTFS on your destination partition (see below)? Total files to copy is about 350M but when it gets to about 150-190M it suddenly stops copying files...df -h hangs too as it will not bring up the ntfs share /win2k. It is as if the mounted drive has fallen off. There is nothing in the event log of the NT box either. Anyone know what is going on? thanx Zane Possible reasons for this are: 1. Your partition has run of space (you shoud see No space left on device error message). In this case df my need some time to calculate the used space on the device. 2. The NTFS module in kernels = 2.2.16 and probably newer is somewhat still EXPERIMENTAL and thereso supports ONLY READ OPERATIONS from a NTFS partition. In addition it does not handle permissions for now. If you are really using a NTFS partition you would have a hard problem to solve. You might consider creating 100-200MB VFAT partition just for transfer purposes, or try keeping what you want available to the both OSes on in NTFS partition and accessing from Linux.

Re: Installing.

The PC consists of one type II PCMCIA slot, where we have the harddrive. Usually a SunDisk (flash), or a Calluna disk. And it also got two type III PCMCIA for network/radio cards. Now I have a problem. I want to install debian on this computer. I have for the moment a SunDisk with 175Mb capacity. I've made one 40Mb (MS-DOS) partition on it, with the debian installation files. But this computer doesn't have a floppy drive, and we cannot connect one either. There is no CD-ROM either. I wonder if there is a debian install package that I can run from ms-dos and just install everything without having to put in any floppies. I only have Windows 9x and NT workstations with PCMCIA slots, no linux machine. I can also boot from one of the type III PCMCIA slots and install on the type II slot, and make the linux partitions there. All I need to know if is there is or will be available a complete install package for ms-dos. I can install the rest from a network, with a network card running ne2000 compatible drivers from the type III slot. I hope you understand what my problems is.

In fact you would need to download the disks packages and the install utilities (found in install/ on the Debian CD). Those would be enough to start the installation. (I hope these are the Debian installation files you have on your MS-DOS parition). The Debian installation is capable of installing from HTTP, FTP, NFS, any mountable drive (disk partition,CD-ROM,etc.). You would need to use an address like 'http://www.xx.debian.org' where xx stands for the country identifier of the mirror site. (You may leave this blank, i. e. use 'http://www.debian.org').

Re: kerneld message / Workaround
Quoting Jonathan Heaney ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
David Wright wrote:
The scripts /etc/init.d/{kerneld,modutils} have to be able to handle
both 2.0 and 2.2 kernels with kerneld or kmod. You will see they do
this by testing for the presence of /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe which
only exists under 2.2.
Perhaps you have a problem with your /proc filesystem (unless a bug
has been introduced into these scripts). There should be no need to
move/remove the scripts in /etc/init.d.
Well if there is such a bug it's been there since potato day1 and still
is.
Then I presume no bug has been introduced.
Incidentally, does the presence of /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe not
depend on what you compile in the kernel???
Well, yes. /proc filesystem support has to be built in. Are you
saying that you don't do that?
I always roll my own and
any time I've installed potato with a 2.2 kernel I've had to shift
kerneld.
I don't know why your kerneld gets started. Surely you can put the odd
echo command into the scripts if you want to find out why. Those of us
running systems where it works can't really help you as we are unable
to replicate the problem.
Maybe if you stick with Debians own kernels it might be there
but not everyone does.
I gather that there are plenty of people on this list who do not
use Debian kernels, but pick up tarballs elsewhere.
And what about 2.4test kernels (that I'm running) ? I don't have a
/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe - what should I do? How do the magic
scripts in /etc/init.d deal with that
Well this may well be a completely different problem.
What happened with slink (released with 2.0 kernels) and 2.2 kernels
is that some kind soul made special versions of the affected packages
(like netbase) which had the updated package contents compiled against
slink's C library. I have no idea if that sort of thing is necessary
here because I don't know how woody will differ fundamentally from
potato. You may just eventually get an updated modutils package, but
I have no idea if anyone is working on it yet (assuming that is the

Thanks. -D xlib6g installs its libraries under /usr/X11R6/lib/ (try dpkg --largemem -L xlib6g) and are trying to have names compatible with all other distributions. I think the problem is that xlib6g does not make /usr/lib/X11 to be a symlink to /usr/lib/X11R6 where ld likes to look for the libraries. Either make the symlink, or give ld (gcc will pass appropriate arguments to ld) a -L/usr/X11R6/lib switch. This is for now, Pavel M. Penev
Re: BIOS and hardware configuration for GA-5AX Gigabyte mainboard
* Conrado Badenas in BIOS and hardware configuration for GA-5AX * Gigabyte mainboard dated 2000/07/17 19:02 wrote: Hi, all! Is anyone out there who owns a GA-5AX (rev 5.x) gigabyte mainboard? I would like to know the best BIOS and hardware configuration for my system. Now I cannot compile linux kernel because of signal 11 raises (Segmentation fault). I've read the Signal 11 FAQ (http://www.BitWizard.nl/sig11/) and I need some help. I don't own a GA-5AX but I might be able to help. The system characteristics follow: CPU: AMD-K6-2/450 (2.4 V) (dmesg says AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor stepping 0c) SPEED: 100MHz (external) x4.5=450MHz (internal) DRAM: 1 DIMM of 128Mb (10 ns, I think) (How can I know it?) If it is 10ns it will probably not work on a 100MHz bus. I've only seen one 10ns stick work out of about a dozen, and it only worked for about a week. You can try one of the memory tester programs in the hwtools package to see if it is a problem with your memory, errors should start showing up very quickly. About identifying it, if you look at the chips usually the last number will be the speed, eg. WTC626812B-10 is a 10ns chip, I believe my 8ns chips say something -8. Hopefully yours follows suit. Kernel compilation is not the only sympthom: sometimes the X11 server caughts signal 11 and exists, which is VERY annoying (good spelling?). It probably is your memory. The memory is overclocked and will sometimes (usually?) return bad data, which can be, well, bad. -- Ashley Clark GCS/M d- s:-- a-- C++$ UL$ P L+++ E W++ N+ o K++ w O M V-- PS+(++) PE(++) Y+ PGP++(+++) t* 5+ X+ R* tv b+ DI++ D G e* h* r++ y+ finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for GPG public keyhttp://ghoti.org/ pgp5QfY58QXwd.pgp Description: PGP signature
AfterStep and using Themes
Hello All, I was hoping matbe someone on the list might be able to help me. I am trying to install a new theme into AfterStep. I have downloaded the theme and placed it into: ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/themes. I had to make the directory themes, does it need a specific premission ? Then I start X and Update startmenu(start-Desktop-Update startmenu). After doing that I should be able to see Themes under Desktop but I dont. I have read everything I can at as.themes.org. Any Ideas guys ? Thanks Jay -- It feels so good, It's a marginal risk, when I clear off windows with fdisk Powered by Debian GNU/Linux. http://www.debian.org

network/ethernet card configuration problem?
Hi, I'm completely new to Linux, so the solution to my problem may be trivial to all of you experienced Debian Linux users (so I hope!). I'm trying to install Debian Linux (mostly with success), but I think that I'm having problems connecting with the ethernet card in my computer. The symptoms are: (1) A message during booting that is something like network is unreachable (I don't know what log file to look for to get the exact wording). (2) When I type ifconfig -a, I should see listings for two interfaces, lo and eth0, but the second one (the ethernet one) is not there. (3) Not surprisingly, telnet, ftp, etc. can't be used. (4) In the /var/log/syslog file, there is a message: cardmgr[189]: starting, version is 3.0.5 cardmgr[189]: no sockets found! cardmgr[189]: exiting I think that this problem reported is related. Information about my system: (1) I have a D-Link DE 220 card. (2) I have the NC2000 driver in /lib/modules/2.0.36/net This is the appropriate driver for the card, according to the D-Link website. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me with this problem. Until it's fixed, I have to rely on Windows 95 :( to connect to the internet. Thanks, James Polson
telnet vs ssl
Hi, im wondering about the security of telnet - people say its really unsecure...does this mean that someone would need to be running a network sniffer on my ip to catch the data? I telnet to my ISP from work, (only telnet available) then run SSH from ISP shell to home machineis this just as insecure as a straight connection via telnet right to my home machine? Thanks -Ethan
Re: telnet vs ssl
Ethan Pierce wrote: Hi, im wondering about the security of telnet - people say its really unsecure...does this mean that someone would need to be running a network sniffer on my ip to catch the data? Yup. And there's plenty of different apps out there to do just that. I telnet to my ISP from work, (only telnet available) then run SSH from ISP shell to home machineis this just as insecure as a straight connection via telnet right to my home machine? Sure is. The data path from you to your ISP is completely unprotected. When you say only telnet available I take that means that SSH is not available at the computer you have access to at work? If so, then perhaps you should look into finding an SSH client tat you can out onto the computer at work if at all possible. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | Where do you want to go today? | As far from Redmond as possible!

only exists under 2.2.
But doesn't -always- exist on 2.2:
[narvi:/etc/init.d] 11:26:37am 136 % ls -l /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe

You need to have 'CONFIG_KMOD' set in your kernel build to have it,
which I don't.
Seems to me that the logic on that is broken. /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe
is not a good way to determine whether kerneld should be run.
Perhaps you should file a bug on it?
Perhaps you have a problem with your /proc filesystem (unless a bug
has been introduced into these scripts). There should be no need to
move/remove the scripts in /etc/init.d.
Well if there is such a bug it's been there since potato day1 and still
is. Incidentally, does the presence of /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe not
depend on what you compile in the kernel??? I always roll my own and
any time I've installed potato with a 2.2 kernel I've had to shift
kerneld. Maybe if you stick with Debians own kernels it might be there
but not everyone does.
It does. See above.
And what about 2.4test kernels (that I'm running) ? I don't have a
/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe - what should I do? How do the magic
scripts in /etc/init.d deal with that
They run kerneld. Wrongly.

You need to configure eth0 and your cards kernel module (driver). From Ethernet-HOWTO may find correct settings for the module. Then you have to put these setting to a file to /etc/modutils/some-file and run update-modules. You need to configure eth0 before. I am not an expert here, but configuration depends much on what you are trying to do. (For my cable modem I had to just install a debian package dhcpcd. If you are connecting to LAN or something, that's different.) Take a good look to Linux Networking-HOWTO (aka NET3-HOWTO): http://www.linux.com/howto/NET3-4-HOWTO.html Probably you can find this HOWTO from you Linux machine's /usr/doc/HOWTO directory too.
