Shutdown incompleto y arranque incompleto
Hola a todos Anoche cuando apague el ordenador, el proceso de shutdown se quedo detenido despues de enviar las señales KILL y TERM a los procesos del runlevel 0, tuve que apagar por las bravas, porque de ahi no avanzaba. Esta mañana cuando he arrancado, el proceso tampoco ha sido completo, despues de ejecutar lo qu tengo en /etc/rc.boot, deja de hacer cosas y me presenta (none) login. Tengo el bash, porque puedo hacer login, montar la particion root en lectura/escritura, ir arrancando cosas de /etc/init.d, tengo entorno multiususario, creo que establece todas las variables de entorno, pero no hace el arranque automaticamente (las tengo, pero no he comprobado que esten todas las que son). Supongo que el bash estara bien, aunque sea una recompilacion hecha por mi. Paquetes que se puedan considerar sensibles, y que haya cambiado: bash, base-files, base-password, todo ello de woody; el bash lo recompile con opciones -mcpu=pentium y -march=pentium. He estado buscando sobre todo en /etc algun fichero que defina el runlevel, tambien he estado mirando mensajes de los log, y no he encontrado nada que me de una pista. Por si acaso, me he bajado el bash*deb para tratar de susutituir los binarios. Saludos.
Problemas con el menu de las X
Tengo el siguiente problemilla: He instalado el gnome-chess, el gnuchess y el crafty para poder jugar al ajedrez en debian. El primer problema que me surgió fué que no podia ejecutar el gnuchess ni el crafty. Este problema lo solucioné despues de preguntar en la lista y llegar a la conclusión que el problema era de la variable PATH, que no contenia la ruta de estos programas (¿pequeño bug?). El siguiente problema, que es el que nos ocupa, es que al ejecutar desde el menu el gnome-chess me dice que no tengo instalado en el sistema ningun programa de ajedrez. ¿?. Pero más grande es mi sorpresa cuando abro una ventana Xterm, escribo gnome-chess y voilá funciona perfectamente. se abre el susodicho con el crafty por defecto. Entonces me pregunto ¿que carajo se ejecuta cuando pulso en el menu?. Despues de preguntar un buen rato en el canal #debian del irc-hispano me entero que estas cosas están en usr/lib/menu. Voy para allá encuentro el fichero usr/bin/gnome-chess y pone simplemente command=usr/bin/gnome-chess. Osea que no es que se llame al programa con algun parametro extraño o algo así. Despues de pensar un ratito (todo lo que puede pensar un novicio en debian) creo que el problema es que tanto el gnuchess como el crafty no están en la variable PATH o algo así de las X, aunque si estan en el PATH del bash, que es lo que me imagino que tiene el Xterm. Por tanto pregunta: ¿donde añado el path del gnuchess y del crafty a las X para que el gnome-chess lo encuentre al ejecutarse desde el menu? Saludos y gracias por aguantar un mail tan largo.

Bueno esto depende. Si estás utilizando programas para el jdk1.2.2 no necesitas swing porque ya lo lleva integrado. Si por contra tienes que utilizar el jdk1.1.8 descarga el de IBM y a continuación descarga desde la web de sun el paquete swing. Te pondrá que es para Solaris, pero tranquilo es para todos los unix. De hecho swing no es que sea portado sino que más bien es un plugin para el ki de desarrollo, vamos creo. --- Xose Manoel Ramos [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: Ya se que existe una lista específica de Java en Debian, pero no voy a dar mucho la lata.

Por no se qué regla de tres, decidieron poner los *tres* enlaces, stable, frozen y unstable. Eso por un lado. Por otro, apt-cdrom decide tomar como nombre el del estado (stable, frozen o unstable) en lugar del de la distribución (potato), y claro, como hay tres para elegir, pues coge uno cualquiera al buen tuntún.

Yo nunca he cargado módulos para CDROM. Deben estar soportados por el kernel. Por si te sirve de algo, te comento que módulos suelo cargar yo. En las sección 'filesystems' (creo que se llama así, no tengo mi potato cerca), añaso el 'binfmt-a.out'. Sirve para compatibilidad con ese tipo de binarios. Además le añado el 'lp' y el 'serial' de la sección 'misc' para ratón serie e impresora paralelo. Y luego le instalo el ne-2000 para la ethernet. Pero este tendrás que mirarlo un poco más para que sea el que corresponda a tu tarjeta.

Dicho script arranca el demonio con las opciones necesarias para leer la configuración de donde la tenga que leer y demás historias. Hay otra manera de arrancar los servicios en Un*x.

Exacto: si inicias las X con xdm, wdm, gdm o kdm, el entorno no es el de un shell de login. Por tanto pregunta: ¿donde añado el path del gnuchess y del crafty a las X para que el gnome-chess lo encuentre al ejecutarse desde el menu? Para solucionarlo, deberias definir las variables de entorno no en el fichero /etc/profile, o en ~/.bash_profile, sino en el fichero /etc/environment (si no existe, porque por defecto no está, créalo). En este fichero debes poner todas aquellas variables de entorno que quieras ver reconocidas en cualquier shell como bash, ksh, o zsh, aunque no sea shell de login. Algo de este estilo: PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games LANG=es_ES MM_CHARSET= (etc, etc) export PATH LANG MM_CHARSET NLSPATH (Es mejor definir las variables y dejar el export para el final por que es más compatible entre diferentes shells). Para que al iniciar las X desde el display manager que hayas elegido, debes asegurarte de tener en /etc/X11/Xsession lo siguiente (yo lo tengo al principio mismo): -- if [ -f /etc/environment ]; then . /etc/environment fi -- para que lea el /etc/environment al iniciar.

Re: Grafisk DSelect
Hej, För det första är Dselect ganska gammalt, satsa på apt-get istället. till apt-get finns ett antal curses-baserade frontends, bl.a. console-apt som ger dig ett lätthanterat register med alla tillgängliga paket. Du kan lägga till, ta bort, söka, kolla status, dependencies osv. Något renodlat välfungerande grafiskt gränssnitt för X har jag inte stött på ännu, gnome-apt ser dock lovande ut även om det fortfarande har en bit kvar till den pålitlighet man vill ha. Om apt-get inte är installerat så måste du trycka in det först, sedan ska du kunna köra 'apt-get update' först för att uppdatera listan med tillgängliga paket, sedan kan du köra till exempel 'apt-get install gnome-apt' för att installera det programmet samt allt vad det kräver. Observera att standardinställningarna för apt-get är att tanka ner det du vill installera från internet så om du inte har en fungerande uppkoppling av någon forn så måste du köra mot CDs eller liknande.

modem performance w/pon vs. wvdial
I have been experiencing slow and erratic connections using pon and a Best Data external modem. When I tried the modem with Wvdial and manually patched wvdial.conf so that I would have the default initialization string, it seems to be more responsive. Do I need to change the modem initialization string (inside the modem), if so, how do I accomplish that? I would rather use pon as it seems to be somewhat easier to use for normal users. The modem takes a second or two to initialise using pon, but initialises instantly when using wvdial. Any help would be appreciated! === John Kerr Anderson Powered by Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 ===

Part of the fascination of any kind of Linux is figuring it out and getting under the bonnet (as we say over here); but some guidance as to where the helpful bits of the docs are would help a lot. wouldn't it be nice if there were just a HELP command? *something* for the newbie to stumble onto that'll point out likely suspects when it comes to looking for answers...? % help help: Command not found. duh! -- things are more like they used to be than they are now.

Gpm problem: Where is /dev/gpmctl?
Hi, Would be grateful to any pointers to the solution of this gpm problem . After a recent upgrading to 1.19.3-4, gpm no longer functioned. I lost the mouse pointer in mc. It seems that /dev/gpmctl is lost although the gpm server did start at boot. I was told that it may be a pipe but mknod /dev/gpmctl -p did not work. Reinstalling gpm and libgmp1 also didn't work. I can use the mouse in X, though (with /dev/psaux as device and and ps2 as protocol). I'm using woody with kernel 2.2.17 if that matters. Regards, ST --

Hi All,
I'm trying to figure out how to be able to use separate alias/redirect

extra email-alias for his/her domain, but I can't find anything ;((
Is it a 'standard' sendmail-config, or do i need an other package.
on my potato box,
man sendmail
shows
SYNOPSIS
exim [options] arguments ...
mailq [options] arguments ...
rmail [options] arguments ...
rsmtp [options] arguments ...
runq [options] arguments ...
sendmail [options] arguments ...
so these are all related.
in my /etc/exim.conf i've got
local_domains =
localhost:*dontUthink.com:partial-lsearch;/etc/exim/DOMAINS
and further down in the 'directors' section:
# check aliases for virtual hosts --
# virtual hostname--alias file mapping is in /etc/exim/DOMAINS
# alias@hostname--is in /etc/exim/virtual from DOMAINS
# and global default aliases '*: someone' is possible in each
# virtual host alias file, because we use 'search_type=lsearch*'
virtual_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
domains = partial-lsearch;/etc/exim/DOMAINS
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
file = /etc/exim/${domain_data}
search_type = lsearch*
now, the /etc/exim/DOMAINS file resembles this:
# *.domain.name /etc/exim/aliasfile
*.dontuthink.com: dontuthink
*.serensoft.com:serensoft
*.bucks2browse.com: bucks2browse
*.buckstobrowse.com:bucks2browse
any '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' address is looked up in the
config file /etc/exim/dontuthink; any email to someone in
the '@buckstobrowse.com' or '@bucks2browse.com' domain
is directed to aliases in the /etc/exim/bucks2browse file.
for instance, /etc/exim/dontuthink could look like this:
puz:will
admin: will
kat*: kat
sales: rdt
*: will
so mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will go to user 'kat';
mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will go to user 'will'
(by default, thanks to the final '*' alias).
--
for your domain-per-user setup (as i gather from your
message) you can instead refer to individual user alias
files:
# /etc/exim.conf
virtual_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
domains = partial-lsearch;/etc/exim/DOMAINS
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
# here's the kicker: ###
file = /home/${domain_data}/.mail_aliases
# or whatever you need for your setup###
search_type = lsearch*
cool, eh? (if one of your users doesn't have a matching
.mail_aliases file -- or has a corrupt one -- well, let's
just say you should test for that situation and see what
happens, and how to recover...)

Re: setuid question
Johann Spies [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can somebody explain to me what setuid does? I have installed Debian 2.2 and copied my old home(~) directory on to the new installation. The difference between the old home and the new one is old: drwxr-xr-x new: drwxr-sr-x That isn't setuid, it's setgid (set-group-id) - and it isn't really related to your problem at all. The setgid bit on a directory causes all files created in that directory to have the same group as the directory by default. Now I can not as user run binaries situated in my own bin directory. I thought a setup like that would allow only me or users of my group to run binaries in my home directory. That'll be determined by the ownership and permissions of the binaries in question. My suspicion is that you created a new user with the same name as your old one when you installed Debian, but weren't aware that it's actually the *number* of the user id that matters, not the name; by default, Red Hat-derived distributions start their numbering at 500, while Debian-derived distributions start at 1000. You can either change your user id's number in /etc/passwd (and run 'pwconv' if you're using shadow passwords) or else use a combination of 'find' and 'xargs' to change the ownership of all the files in your home directory. If I'm right, then instead of seeing symbolic user names in the output of 'ls -l ~', you'll see numeric user ids. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Software to record console output (sort of...)
Hi gang, I remember years and year ago, when I first installed debian (bo, I think), the install instructions recommended that you run this little program that records everything that happens on the console. I think it just saves it to an ascii file with escape codes, but if you catted the resulting file, it would play back everything on the screen, so you could see what you screwed^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hdid. Someone has asked me to do something and record what I do so that he can see how it works, but I can't for the life of me remember what this program was called. I've tried searching through apt-cache and apropos for record, script, pager, etc., but no joy. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Re: comments on dselect...not unreasonable
Quoth Walter Tautz, I would slightly concur with your assessment of dselect but only in the sense that it lists simply too many packages. I am not sure, but perhaps it is possible to present the various software types in a less verbose manner. Sort of like the slrn news reader where one could collapse dependency trees depending on the software. It would be nice to collapse certain dependency trees while maintaining others.. Every now and then on the list we have a healthy flamewar about the pros and cons of dselect. Those who are new to debian argue that dselect is unintuitive and hard to use. Those who have an emotional investment in dselect (ie., they wrote it, or experienced the pain of learning how to use it), argue that online help is available and easy to find. While online help is certainly available, that doesn't cut it if we want debian to be a usable distribution. Yes, Unix/Linux is hard to learn, as it should be, but many people will be put off if they can't make it through such an essential step in installation. The fact that so many people complain about dselect is suficient proof that it's too difficult to use. The fact that so many people accidently delete all the packages in their system establishes that it's not designed for novice users (ie., those installing debian for the first time). Part of the problem is the wonderful number of packages available to be installed in debian. While 4000+ packages is great for debian users, going through them all in the one list in dselect is clearly unreasonable. Maybe collapsing categories or something would be useful, but it's unworkable as it stands. There are, of course, other alternatives to dselect, such as aptitute and capt, but AFAIK neither of these are installed by default. With the tasks packages it may not be as necessary for those installing to even see dselect, but if you want to browse the available packages, it's probably more likely to be used than: cat /var/state/apt/lists/* | grep ^Package: |less or similar. Unfortunatly dselect is something of a sacred cow in debian. It's like an ugly and dangerous, but historically significant, building that can't be renovated or pulled down, but which people try to avoid looking at. Maybe one day it'll be replaced by something easier to use, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm sure people are going to disagree with my assessment, claiming that dselect is user friendly, it's just that all the users are too stupid to use it. So maybe we need some good data. Is there anyone out there in debian-user land who is into computers, studying psychology[1], and looking for a little project? Set up a little experiment getting niave (windows?) users to try and install a number of packages using dselect. To make it interesting, throw in a few examples with hairy dependencies. Keep track of things like number of errors, time taken, use of help, and the number who result in a totally fscked system. There is shite loads of literature out there on HCI and usability studies, so you should have no trouble setting it all up properly. Feed back your results to debain-user, and to the maintainers of dselect, capt, aptitude, etc. This is something I'd love to do myself, but unfortunately I've now moved out of psych to criminology (while HCI is interesting, homicide is much cooler!). Cheers, damon (who has his asbestos suit standing by...) [1] HCI and usability isn't something that should be done by computer scientists unless they have a particular intrest in the field - they bring too many prior preconceptions to the studies. -- Damon Muller | Did a large procession wave their torches Criminologist/Linux Geek | As my head fell in the basket, http://killfilter.com | And was everybody dancing on the casket...

Re: OT: mailing list, bounce-debian-user ?
Hi Karsten, Quoth kmself@ix.netcom.com, I'm getting a number of messages apparently sent or resent from bounce-debian-user. I've also had some significant procmail recipie problems in recent weeks resulting in inappropriate message rejection, particularly from mailing lists. I believe that the debian list server sets the envelope sender for email from the list to bounce-debian-user-email address@list.debian.org (or something). If a properly configured MTA has to bounce a message, the list server will know what address is giving it grief, and if it happens enough times, which to remove. At least, that's my (admittedly limited) understanding. I have seen at least one bounce from a badly configured MTA which sent the mail back to me (the From: address), but did not include it's own from address. Mutt, for some reason, seemed to put the bounce-debian-user address in the From: field when it displayed the mail. Maybe this is what you are seeing.

Re: Citrix ICA client on Debian 2.2
Quoth Tony Holroyd, Has anyone successfully installed the Citrix ICA client on a Debian 2.2 box. I run it on such a box at work. It needs the libc5 version of libXaw, which can be found in the xlib6 package (which probably depends on libc5, but let apt worry about that for you). If you can live without sound, have the X11 stuff installed on your terminal server, and are on a LAN (as opposed to a dial-up), Xnest is considerably faster and works much the same way.

Newbie Question
I installed 2.1 then used dselect to install apps from 2.2 Potato disk 1 and 2. I have at least 9 dependency problems and return status 1 errors after install, configure, and remove. I suspect it's a kernel thing but I have never recompiled a kernel. Should I just re-install the system with the 2.2 disks or should I keep struggleing with it.

RE: ps2pdf and LaTeX's seminar style
I tried this recently. What happened was that ps2pdf gave rubbish looking results. I don't know why this happens, but the quality is far worse than for pdflatex. pdflatex, whilst quality is good, doesn't recofgnise the \specials from fancybox package of pstricks of some such. Therefore the pdflatex semainar presentation comes out without a border and not the right size. If you do find a solution tell me. I saw that one user of seminar recomended VTEX but i could be bothered to learn that. check out http://www.tug.org/applications/Seminar/ AHH.. I have just seen your later post about editing the pd file. Question: Do you find the quality of ps2pdf satisfactory. Are you really projecting this? Perhaps I don't have the right gs fonts or something cos my fonts come out horrid. Any tips.

The Debian mgetty package does that for you, in the form of a comment, which you can modify and uncomment. That's at least a broad hint. Whereas with the RedHat RPM, I had to figure it out on my own. I've always found that the extras the Debian maintainers put into the packages make it easier to get them running. Granted, to some extent I'm comparing old RedHat and new Debian. Guess why. ;-)
ISDN question
I've noticed quite a few questions about ISDN recently, and I must admit I'm a bit confused. In my NT4 and OS/2 installations there is no difference between a normal modem and an ISDN one. I just tell the dialler program which serial port the modem is on, and set the port speed to max, and fill in all the AT strings to configure it to run as I want (single channel, dual channel, BOD, etc).

Isn't there a way to combine the two HDs' capacity without recompiling the kernel (maybe by just loading a module or something) or can I perhaps just download such a kernel which allows multiple devices driver support?

Well, maybe, but not an easy one if you haven't already compiled in the option. You can add a new disk inside the filesystem. So, # mount /dev/newdisk /mnt # cp -a /home/* /mnt # umount /mnt # umount /home # mount /dev/newdisk /home Now your new disk on on /home, with all the old data. That won't get you the old disk, though. To do that, you could mount the old disk as /home2, and symlink some directories from inside /home onto /home2. That would allow you to use both disks. It requires manual work, though, so it's a pain. You can recompile your kernel to allow multiple devices driver support (under block devices), but you'll need to pull all your old data off the partition to do it, I think. This is a way to make a software RAID out of the partitions. The problem is that the partition is not RAIDed now, so you'd need to backup, make the raid (i.e. make the two drives one device), and then resore all your data. I _might_ be wrong that you have to do it this way (read the docs, because I've never done this), but I am pretty sure you do.

Re: how can I add disk space?
Yes, I have transfered the old /home tree to the new drive. I just didn't write it, because I thought it would be unnecessary. My problem is, I want to combine the capacity of both HDs. Because when I just mount the new drive to one point (in my case at /home), every data written in this directory will just be saved on the new drive. But I want to use also the capacity of the other disk (at this mountpoint), too. Just how?

Re: how can I add disk space?
Can't you perhaps remember the name of the package for the multiple-disks-tools? This would be very helpful. Or does anybody else know how the package is called? And what do you mean with LVM is more flexible (and by the way what does RAID and LVM mean?)?

On Thu, 5 Oct 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There must be a way to use both HDs' disk space, isn't there one? There are a few options. First, you can mount one disk in the directory tree underneath the other. This will allow you to have the data written into that subdirectory stored on one drive, and the data written elsewhere stored on the other. This is probably the easiest all-around option but depending on your data you might not be able to arrange it so easily. You could also export the new drive separately from the old one, so that users would be able to select between the old share and the new one. If you really need to have both drives combined into a single partition you will have to use the MD (multiple disks) driver. To do this you need to add MD support to your kernel and read the Multi-Disk HOWTO and maybe the Software-RAID HOWTO or the LVM HOWTO (LVM is more flexible, but requires you to do patches or use the 2.4 kernel which is a major topic in itself). You should be able to find a package for the MD-tools you'll need to combine the volumes; I don't, unfortunately, know what it's called.
