Ayuda con tema ICEwm
Hola, se que esta pregunta no es muy especifica para esta lista pero quiza alguno pueda ayudarme. Comenze a utilizar icewm con mi sistema Debian en X, bajando el window manager y algunos temas del web, pero no logro encontrar el tema fvwm, mi preferido cuando utilizaba slink (ya no dispongo del CD), parece que han retirado este tema del sitio de temas de ice. Agradeceria mucho si alguien puediera decirme donde buscar ese tema en especifico o enviarmelo si no es mucho pedir. Gracias a todos.
Gnome Y WMaker
Hola hace varias semanas pedi ayuda con WMaker-Gnome pero luego me di a la tarea de montar un servidor Linux en la empresa para la que trabajo y no pude terminar con esto. Joaquin Fenandez Piqueras ha escrito: Buenas, yo tb tengo Gnome y Wmaker, y lo hago todavia mas facil. Haces que la variable WINDOWMANAGER apunte a gnome-session, por ejemplo: WINDOWMANAGER=/opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session y despues desde la herramienta de configuración del gnome, eliges que arranque wmaker. De esta forma da muchos menos problemas, ya que el gnome se encarga de gestionar al wmaker y no te pasan historias como tener que cerrar los dos escritorios por separado, o que se peleen por poner el fondo de pantalla. Por defecto el gnome viene arrancando enlightenment, pero como ya he dicho en la configuración se puede elegir wmaker (si lo tienes instalado) y yasta!!! Entre las respuestas que recibi a dicho correo, probe varias pero por alguna razon no funcionó y ya no insisti, me regalaron la distribucion Mandrake (para que la probara como una opcion para el servidor que monte) y la puse en mi casa, no se si alguien la ha utilizado pero la instalacion es muy buena, me parece todo bien, pero en particular me llamo la atencion la forma del entorno que se puede usar de WindowMaker + Gnome, (que es lo que queria en Debian) es muy elegante y fue sencillisimo de hacer, solo tuve que configuar el Gnome para que utilizara el WindowMaker como manejador de ventanas y listo (tal como explica Joaquin), no tengo conflictos con estar cerrando el Gnome y el WMaker por aparte. Pero soy Debianero de corazon y aunque veo que la Mandrake ofrece lo que necesito y el entorno es muy amistoso (Demasiado en algunas ocaciones) no me interesa y quiero poner la Debian solo que quiero que me funcione el Wmaker+Gnome como esta en la Mandrake, para empezar en el control center de Gnome no puedo ver todos mis dispositivos, unicamente veo el mouse y el teclado, (en la Mandrake veo la tarjeta de red, tarjeta de video, etc), tienen alguna idea a que se pueda deber esto ??, no tengo el Gnome-File-Control (no se si asi se llama, pero es el que se utiliza para ver los archivos del disco y todo eso...), en el Gnome-Control-Center debo de poner el Window-Mannager que quiero que Gnome utilice pero como dije antes no tengo esta opcion. Si me pueden ayudar se los agradezco a todos. Como comentario acerca de la amistosidad comparto con muchos el hecho de que esa amistosidad solo es cuestion de gustos, la primera distribucion de linux que utilice fue la Debian, no conocia otra, no tenia los recursos para comprar una distribucion mas amistosa (como red hat) asi que compre la Debian (Slink), sinceramente me costo mucho instalarla, pero al final obtuve los resultados deseados y es cuestion de dedicacion porque yo cuando la instale lo unico que sabia era que Linux era un sistema operativo mejor que windows y como estoy harto de esa mediocridad opte por intentarlo. Hoy las cosas son muy diferentes, sabiando los conceptos minimos no es tan dificil instalar la Debian, he probado otras distribuciones y en lo personal siento que en algunas se esta tratando de windomizar Linux, o sea hacer que el usuario se sienta como en windows al utilizar Linux, hasta los iconos son muy perecidos, de una forma muy personal no estoy de acuerdo con esto, a mi no me gusta, no significa que sea malo, para mi la Debian es todo lo que necesito y no tiene nada que envidiar a ninguna de las otras distribuciones.

Re: [fox@xs4all.nl: Re: gnapster won't download: fopen: No such file or directory]
It's buggy, you can only share mp3's, I often try to download a few songs only to get error so I can only assume that their database isn't kept updated very often at all. I can only compare it to gnutella under linux, which is also buggy but I like how it's distributed and not limited to mp3 files. Under windoze, I prefer Scour Exchange because I can share any type of file, it's more configurable, and the database not only seems to be right nore often, but it's much faster. Hope that helps.

So I installed it on my machine and everything runs well except for that my cdrom didn't recognized any of the CD-Rewritable copies that burned. However, the operating system able to allows me to read other CD-W copies that are not rewritable. I did all this with mounting the cdrom. What is this mean? I have most of the softwares that needed to be run in Linux are in those CD-Rewritable. What can I do? There are 2 compatability issues you have to be aware of when you are dealing with CD-RW disks. First, because of the materials used to make the disk, CD-RWs need a higher power laser to be able to read them than CD-R or pressed CDs. Older CD drives don't usually have strong enough lasers to read CD-RWs. If your CD is slower than about 20x it may be too old. The other issue is the filesystem used on CD-RWs. CD-RWs can be formatted using the same ISO-9660 file system as CD-R and pressed CDs. This format has a minimum amount of wasted space, but doesn't support randomly adding and deleting files well. If your CD-RW holds more than about 500 MB of data then its an ISO disk, and should be readable on a newer model CD drive. The other filesystem used on CD-RWs is UDF filesystem which supports packet writing. In other words, you can use a UDF CD-RW like a floppy disk. DVDs use UDF as well. A UDF CD-RW only holds 500 MB of data (vs. 650 MB for ISO-9660) and needs to be formatted before use. This formatting can take the better part of an hour on some drives. The 2.2.x kernels do not support UDF. If this is what you have, just take the CD-RW back to the machine you made it on, copy the files to the hard drive, erase the CD-RW, and re-burn the CDs using ISO format. Some of the Windows CD burning programs are pretty insistant about using UDF on CD-RWs, but they can usually be made to burn ISO CD-RWs, if you stay away from using Drive Letter access and use a tool such as Adaptec CD-Creater to burn the files instead of Windows explorer. your pal dave -- Dave Thayer Denver, Colorado USA [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cool trick: gmc and Debs

I'm looking for something that uses only free-software, without third-party drivers and that has reasonable performance. Everyone's going to die laughing at the suggestion, but look at WinBook. I had been a fairly devoted user of Linux for a while, but when I was in the market for a computer, I had returned to using Windows, and the WinBook XL^2 was about what I needed--very good features for a small price (~$1000) and small weight (~7 lbs. for a mid-featured notebook). When I chose to return to the fold and install Debian again, I was pleasantly surprised that I could spend five minutes configuring a kernel, adding Ir* and PCMCIA support, compile, reboot, and keep working. No OSS nonsense, no strange, third-party drivers, nothing. (Note that I am using a 3COM PCMCIA modem/ethernet combo; if you use an internal modem from WinBook YMMV.) The name sounds scary, but the price for the features is not. Their higher-end notebooks ship with big screens, DVD, big hard drives, and fast processors and still undercut Dell, etc. In addition, I have yet to hear of serious problems with the hardware. It is not a low-quality machine. The single thing about the WinBook I would warn about is that the fan is on almost constantly when it's on AC power, at least on my XL^2 with a Celeron 400. Whether this is a Celeron-only precautionary measure for over-clocked processors or a feature of all WinBook laptops, I don't know. Oh, and it has a Synaptics touchpad, which is a little...weird under Linux. The click-and-a-half feature is only sort-of supported, and dragging in general is a tad weird.

Hi! I assume that Bolan is on the list? And Ben, are you on -user? Is there a way to check with this list-agent who is on a list like majordomo can? Or is it just disabled?

Brian May wrote: The mail-copies-to header does sound good, but I have mixed feelings as to if it really solves the problems. It can at least solve the problem for the people that are not aware of what they are doing and using clients that don't know about mailing-lists at all and therefore don't have a Reply-To-List function. Oh, BTW, Mail-CopiesTo: never is obsolete, use nobody instead. See http://www.newsreaders.com/misc/mail-copies-to.html Thanks for the hint. I don't know why I missed that for I read on just this page about it ;-) OK. So henceforth, my practice will be to remove personal Cc:s Thank you. So I guess we can just close this thread :) I would prefer another header (does the followup-to header do this??), that is like reply-to:, except it works for group followups, rather then private replies. Even better, if it supported mailing lists *and* newsgroups... If the poster hasn't submitted one, the mailing list software could add a default one. If there is already a header, it shouldn't be replaced. This should be no problem - in a MUA that is aware of lists. I don't know if there are many besides mutt that could do that? But I think we get far to far away from the topic of the list. Sadly I don't know where a good point for discussing this would be? Maybe news:news.software.readers for Mail-Copies-To: was also discussed there? Another-words, I think it should be up to the sender to specify exactly where the group reply should go. If the sender doesn't say, then the mailing list should be able to specify. This should happen without affecting private replies (so reply-to can't be used). I double that. It's really a PITA to use such a mis-configured list (with Reply-To: list set :-/ ). One problem I have, is that posts come to me From: the poster, and my MUA doesn't respect the Resent-from: header, so if I `Reply`, it goes only to the poster, but when I `Reply-all`, the list is Cc:ed. I haven't noticed a Followup-to: header (but I haven't sought them, either), so I don't know what my MUA shall do with those. Netscape isn't the best MUA to choose from. It lacks many features that are really useful if you are on several lists, and/or use different From-Addresses. I'd sugguest you to give mutt[1] a try. It might be a little hard to find your way to it (it's text-based, some don't like that), but it's really paying off for it. Have fun!

apt-get vs. dselect?
Hey all. I'm going through the process of upgrading the kernel on my router box, and implementing some better firewall rules (Thanks to the TrinityOS doc. Very helpful). Traditionally I've used dselect to manage the packages that I have installed, but it gets rather cumbersome having to scroll through a list of crud, looking for specific updates. Is that what apt-get does for me automatically? I noticed that apt-get has the dselect-upgrade option, and in convesation with a list member, he recommended apt-get to update the kernel packages. So which is the preferred way, and why? Thanks! Adam Toronto, Ontario, Canada
kernel config
I have reinstalled potato, and compiled the 2.2.16 kernel. In my last installation I had sound and printing when I rebooted after compiling, this time I dont. I am sure there is a switch I'm not setting properly. Before, I thought the trick was to set the switches to M for sound, and set the kernel to auto configure. I'm trying to install my yamaha oplsax sound card. Then after I've done bzlilo make modules, make_install. Didn't work, I have no printing and no sound, I'm thinking of recompiling and leaving out the make_install. Oh, and the other difference, before I had downloaded and unsuccessfully installed the alsa sound moduleswhen I recompiled. any suggestions thanks

xfstt and font not available
Hi all, I have just wiped my system and reinstalled Debian (thanks completely to Windows 2000 and my dual booting). I was attempting to setup my truetype fonts for use in X, and I seem to be doing something wrong. Here's what I've done and what it happening: Copied /WINNT/Fonts/* /user/share/fonts/truetype to obtain the font library. apt-get install xfstt added the quoted line to /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc xset fp+ unix/:7101 restarted xfstt daemon with . /etc/init.d/xfstt restart And here's what happens: I am running Helix-gnome, so I go into gnomecc to change my default fonts. When I hit browse to select a font, and highlight any of the new ttf fonts (they do appear in the font list), I am told the font is not available and the default 'fixed' font is used in it's place. The same phenomenon occurs in both Mozilla M16-1 and in Netscape, and seemingly any GTK program (i.e. Gnotepad+) Have I left something out? I don't know what is wrong. It obvisouly sees the path. I have also tried running X as root, and that doesn't work either; root gets the same errors as user. Thanks in adavance for any help. Matt
emacs and screen

Buggered up my router somehow.

It's hooked up to an ADSL modem, running PPPoE (Roaring Penguin), and that part looks like it's working great. I've got 2 other network cards, both 3Com 905B.

I can see the world just fine from the router (I'm telnetting to an ISP where my maail is hosted to send out this message, and I'm on the router now), but I can't ping anything on my 192.168.0.0 network (192.168.1.0 isn't used yet).

Does anybody have a .screenrc which remaps screen commands to commands that don't conflict with emacs? Remapping emacs keys would be bad as at this point they're pretty much hardcoded into my brain.

Very large SCSI drives and partitioning.
Okay, due to some *very* large storage requirements, I've gotten a ST173404LW drive (73.4 Gig Ultra2 160 drive), and I've hooked it up to the onboard AIC-7890 controller on my ASUS p2b-s motherboard (which has worked fine with my 9 and 18 GB ATLAS drives). However, I can't partition the new drive. Cfdisk on debian 2.1 refuses to talk to it at all. fdisk will talk to it, but thinks it only has 4.5 GB of capacity. If I go into expert mode, I can set the number of cylinders to 14,100 (from manufacturers data sheet), and the heads to 24 (again, from manufacturer), but then the drive has 424 sectors, and fdisk won't allow sectors63. Same thing happens whether large drive translation is turned on or off---if I don't overflow one number (like cylinders), I overflow another (sectors). Any ideas? As an aside, if I don't partition the drive it seems to work fine, i.e. 'fdisk /dev/sdb'. Can I run it like this safely? -- Richard W Kaszeta PhD.

At 11:44 on Aug 4, Dirk Eddelbuettel combined all the right letters to say: No, I mean C:\ as the main partition on the 'desktop' computer. snip Permissions are read-access for everyone. Can I read those from Linux via Samba? What *have* you tried? If you do a `smbmount` (no args) it blah blahs about mounting smbfs stuffs. At the bottom is the snippet that someone posted earlier, mount -t smbfs -o username=tridge,password=foobar //fjall/test /data/test Right now, I have the e: drive of the windows box to my left mounted by mount -t smbfs //crackbox/e /mnt/smb/crackbox/ If it were password protected by windows share, I'd do the same thing, let it try to mount it, and then smbmount *asks* me for the password to access the directory. Obviously, I had to create the /mnt/smb/crackbox/ dir, but that's not something out of the ordinary. Do you get any sort of errors or anything?

Loading fetchmail man page in Gnome-help uses all memory
Hello list, I noticed a curious thing this evening - when I load the fetchmail man page in the Gnome help browser, it grabs all my memory - 256MB and ramps up swap usage until all that's gone too - another 256MB - previously none was used. CPU utilisation runs at about 75% on both cpus (SMP system) while this happens. This all takes about 10 seconds on this system. It then frees all the memory, effectively flushing the cache and buffer memory, and displays the fetchmail man page ok. Apart from the cpus being tied up, there's no other obvious effects or consequences - nothing crashes (tried a kernel compile and running Netscape) and the system then seems fine, although swap usage doesn't return to 0MB immediately but seems to drop off over time, probably as the system moves stuff back into main memory. I just logged out and back in and that cleared most of the swap - only 9.5MB used now, down from 64MB after loading the man page several times, dropping to 29MB just before I logged out. There don't seem to be any spurious processes left hanging around. This happens on consecutive loads on this man page: start Gnome help, select Man Pages, select User Commands, select fetchmail - memory used. Use the Back button, select User Commands (again), select fetchmail - memory used. I've got three discrete 2.2.17 Potatos on this system, all with the same s/w installed - I've tried it on two of them with identical results - reboots make no difference. At least it shows I'm keeping them in step;) This doesn't happen if the fetchmail man page is loaded from a Gnome term: 'man fetchmail' dmesg gives: VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for kswapd...

xterm and shell behaviors
I'm a new convert to Debian, and I need a little help changing a few behaviors of xterm and the shell (bash). 1. When I press tab to autocomplete something in the command line, and there are more than one possible autocompletion, the shell BEEPS. This is very annoying, especially when my gf is asleep within ten feet of my computer. :) How can I disable this? 2. I like my xterms to have a black background and gray text, like the console; how can I make this the default setting? (I know how to do it with command line options, but I want it to be default.) I noticed there are commented lines for such settings in /etc/X11/Xresources/xterm, but uncommenting those lines seems to have no effect. 3. The delete key seems to function the same as the backspace key in xterm; how can I change it to delete the character in _front_ of the cursor instead? Any help will be appreciated. I'm enjoying Debian, it's much better than the other distros I've tried. :) Tom
RE: autofs question
On 03-Aug-2000 Brian Stults wrote: Hello, I'm using the kernel-based auto mounter, autofs. I have all my mount points in the default /var/autofs/misc, and I have symbolic links to them in /mnt. However, whenever I do a listing of /mnt (either from an xterm, or from within an application such as StarOffice), all of the devices controlled by autofs are mounted. This is normal, since ls or soffice will try to readlink(2) the symlinks, thus getting autofs mount them. Is there a way to prevent this? If I want to access my CD-RW from within StarOffice, I would like to be able to go into the directory called /mnt and then go into the directory called /mnt/cdrw. But I would like to be able to do this without inadvertantly automatically mounting all the devices controlled by autofs. Any suggestions? If you stay with this configuration, you cannot change this behavior. The problem is that when you don't use links, you can't refer to the mountpoint while browsing from a gui, since this is created when you try to access it. Most of these programs however can use bookmarks for directory URLs too. So you can add the mountpoints to your bookmarks; under mc you could use the directory hotlist. HTH, Lehel

How is leafnode's delaybody supposed to work?
I'd like to proxy news in a LAN with a potato server and 2 Windows clients. Both low and high traffic text groups will be read and some binary groups scavenged :) The obvious choice for me was leafnode, BUT the standard mode where it gets all messages in all groups is obviously to expensive in terms of bandwidth, as well as ineffective - probably only 1/10th of all messages are actually read. In delaybody=1 mode it will download only headers, replace the bodies with a pseudo-message comfirming it has been marked for the next retreival and retreive the real body the next time fetchnews is run... It says in the docs this doesn't work with Netscape, but it also doesn't work properly with Forte Agent or XNews (=every reader with cache). Also, I'd have to cron fetchnews every minute to allow the users normal reading. Did I setup something wrong? If not, what would one use delaybody for? And, most importantly, how can I achieve the desired effect: (not necessarily with leafnode) * clients can connect to the local newsserver and see the combined active files of all configured servers * headers are refreshed regularly and stored on the server * as soon as a user requests a body, if is fetched and piped through from the upstream server Regards Christian
