Re: 6bone

2000-10-09 Thread Angel Vicente Perez
 Para los ceporros como yo, ¿qué es el 6bone?
Yo, mas o menos lo intuyo, es la red supongo que experimental que transmite
utilizando IPv6.

  Si encuentras un gateway decente, dímelo, por favor :)

Ahi esta, que condicionantes puede poner mi proveedor, ¿me puede negar el
uso de sus servidores como gateway?, y si no es asi, ¿me puede dar un palo
de no te menees?

RV: Shutdown incompleto y arranque incompleto (arreglado)

2000-10-09 Thread Angel Vicente Perez
Hola a todos de nuevo

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.

Bueno, he conseguido arreglar esto. Efectivamente la version compilada por
mi no hacia expansion de comodines correctamente, con lo que no arrancaba
los servicios. Lo he arreglado instalando el paquete bash*deb desde una
shell tcsh. Lo que me ha llamado la atencion, es que tenia instalado el
libc6 2.1.94 y el libc6-dev 2.1.30. No se si este es el motivo de la mala
compilacion, pero creo que no deberia haber dejado la instalacion de esta
manera.

Saludos.



Re: Problemas para cargar el modulo PLIP

 Hola,
 tengo el módulo 2.2.14 compilado con plip como módulo, al igual que parport. 
 Si intento instalar el módulo plip (una vez instalado el parport) me devuelve 
 el siguiente error:

 Using /lib/modules/2.2.14/net/plip.o
 /lib/modules/2.2.14/net/plip.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
 Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including 
 invalid IO or IRQ parameters
 
 Como dice que el error puede venir dado por la mala asignación de IO o IRQ, 
 he probado a asignarlas manualmente:

 Using /lib/modules/2.2.14/net/plip.o
 /lib/modules/2.2.14/net/plip.o: invalid parameter parm_io
 
 Y lo mismo ocurreo con las otras dos asignaciones (iq=0x278 e iq=0x3bc)
 
 ¿A alquien se le ocurre algo? Con el 2.0.36 no me ocurre esto,
 un saludo

Hola. Podría ser porque no cargas el módulo parport_pc (creo que el
parport es más bien genérico para cualquier arquitectura, y el parport_pc
es el específico de la arquitectura PC). Yo, para utilizar los paride
(aunque no es tu caso, se necesita la base de soporte del puerto paralelo)
he hecho lo siguiente, como root:

modprobe parport_pc

echo 7  /proc/parport/0/irq

Y luego sigues con la carga de los módulos que necesitan el parport, es
decir, el plip en tu caso, a ver si así te funciona.

Suerte y un saludo.



[PCMCIA] Unresolved symbol

2000-10-09 Thread Manuel Jiménez
Hola a todos:

Me compré un modem PCMCIA marca 'La Pava' para el portátil. Compilé el kernel
2.2.17 (make-kpkg --revision 1:custom.1.1 mi_kernel-image) y los móculos
pcmcia, para 2.2.17 (make-kpkg --revision 1:custom.1.1 mi_modules-image).
Todo bien: el módem funciona y no anomalías en el sistema. Pero:
   
   1. En el arranque aparece un 'unreolved symbol' referido al módulo 'epic_cb',
   del grupo de 'cardbus'. Lo de los 'unresolved symbols creo que lo solucioné
   una vez quitando de las opciones del núcleo la opciónd de control de
   versiones de módulos. Pero ¿se os ocurre alguna solución menos drástica?
   Esa opción, al fin y al cabo, es útil.
   2. Cuando conecto, con ATM0W1Número, no me da en el 'log' la velocidad de
  ^^
   conexión, y me gustaría saberla, porque me parece que va muy lento.
   3. ¿Los módems PCMCIA admiten todos los comandos AT? La configuración en
   serial.conf, por ejemplo para ponerle 'spd_vhi' como opción, parece no
   funcionar; sí sin embargo en las 'serial.opts' de pcmcia. ¿Por qué? ¿Genera
   una especie de puerto serie de mentirijillas que va por libre respecto a
   setserial?

Gracias y un saludo:
Manuel

Después de solucionar algunos problemillas que tenía con la compilación

que una vez solucionado, será el último).
El ./configure acaba dándome el siguiente error:

checking for init_mcrypt in -lmcrypt... no

He buscado en mcrypt.h y no le pillo qué demonios me falta (llámese

 Aparece una lista de modulos pero no he visto ninguno para uno atapi (es

 si los atapi ya vienen soportados por el kernel y no necesitan ningun

Los atapi los soporta el Kernel directamente, los modulos son para los que

Real Time Linux para un sistema Embedded

2000-10-09 Thread Gonzalez Julen
Hola a todos,
Dicen que la esperanza es lo último que se pierde, pero hoy la
verdad después de haber quemado una memoria flash de 256MB y con ello mucho
dinero, estoy a punto de hacerlo. No obstante, y dado que nos encontramos en
un mercado global en el que el conocimiento no tiene fronteras me he animado
a escribir a este foro. El hecho es que llevo tiempo intentando instalar un
Linux para tiempo real en un sistema de los que se denomina Embedded, y
claro sin aún conseguirlo. Los de Eurotech, los que me han suministrado el
módulo PC-104 sobre el que desarrollar mi aplicación, aseguran que una
aplicación en tiempo real, utilizando RTLinux, puede correr en unas pocas
Megas de memoria física en su módulo. Pero la verdad es que todavía no lo he
conseguido, por ello me preguntaba si alguien que se haya encontrado en mi
misma situación me podría dar alguna clase de solución. Es decir, necesito:

- Alojar una aplicación desarrollada en RTLinux en una memoria flash
de 50MB (antes tenía otra de 256 ,pero...).
- Hacer que el sistema (el LILO) arranque directamente desde la
flash y ejecute la aplicación.

Nota: He leído algo acerca del Hard Hat Linux. ¿Esta versión de Linux me
facilitaría las cosas?

Estaría realmente agradecido si alguien me pudiese dar algún tipo de
sugerencia o pista, con la que poder seguir trabajado.

Gracias ante todo por haberme atendido, atentamente

No entendí muy bien... Linux no lo reconoce? Es decir, no aparece nada
en dmesg?.
No estoy muy seguro como viene el soporte de ATA-100 en esa board, algunas
incluyen un controlador adicional, permitiendo conectar hasta 8 discos
(4 ATA-66 + 4 ATA-100), pero chipsets nuevos lo soportan sin necesidad
de hardware adicional (es decir, solo 4 ATA-100).
Si es el primer caso, habrá que ver si Linux está viendo la controladora
del ATA-100, y sería importante saber si esa controladora está como primaria
o secundaria (en el caso que esté como secundaria, los discos que
están bajo ATA-100 son /dev/hd[efgh], no /dev/hd[abcd]).

Si estás buscando soporte para modo ATA-100, ese está en 2.4.0-testX.

Aunque, lo más seguro es que activar modo ATA-100 no te lleve muy lejos
en estos momentos. De hecho, creo que aun no hay ningún disco que sature
una ATA-66

PD: Supongo que tendrás compilado el soporte genérico para controladoras
IDE en tu kernel, no?

x2x y dos x server en el mismo host

2000-10-09 Thread Alvaro Alea
BUENOS DIAS!!!

Estoy intentando utilizar el programa x2x con el xfree de potato para tener dos 
monitores bajo X en el mismo ordenador, y me surgen varios problemas.

Por ahora ya he conseguido que me funcione en modo texto, y puedo tener dos 
consolas en modo texto, una en cada monitor y cambiar de una a otra, incluso 
puedo tener una con Xwindow y la otra en modo texto. pero:

1º es una vodoo3 y una hercules, por lo que tengo que utilizar XF86_SVGA para 
el display :0 y XF86_MONO para el display :1, pero como en debian utilizan un 
wraper para no hacer suid el servidor X, pues no se como hacer, y solo soy 
capaz de ejecutar un segundo servidor X como root.

Se me ocurrio utlizar un enlace simbolico y cambiarlo antes de lanzar cada 
servidor, pero me gustaria algo mas pofesional. 

2º si asocio cada servidor X a una consola virtual diferente, funciona bien, 
pero cuando paso de una a otra, la otra se me apaga.
es decir si lanzo el svga como :0 en vt9 y el mono como :1 vt10 pulsado alt+f9 
me sale el server svga, y al pulsar alt+f10 se me apaga el svga y se me 
enciende el segundo monitor con el server mono.

3º si asocio los dos servidores X a la misma consola virtual, funcionan los dos 
a la vez, pero al cabo de algunos segundos se arman un lio con el raton y se va 
todo al carajo, esto lo solucione, haciendo que el raton del segundo servidor 
sea /dev/null, pero ahora se arma lio con el teclado.
Ademas tengo que lanzar por narices el servidor svga el segundo, por que si no
se me corrompen todas las consolas en modo texto.

¿Alguna idea? ¿Alguien tiene experiencia en esto?

Re: Erro ao imprimir

2000-10-09 Thread MO Mez
Olá Guilherme,

Não tenho certeza sobre o que está acontecendo.
Vou apenas dar algumas sugestões:
Por acaso você tem algum tipo de configuração
especial na BIOS para a sua porta paralela? Veja que
o sistema está acusando um IRQ 7 para uma porta 
paralela, o que não é normal. Portas paralelas não
são interrupt driven, trabalham por polling. No seu
caso, pode ser que você tenha ou alguma configuração
especial ou algum tipo de hardware especial. Neste
caso, procure por informações na documentação do seu
kernel como habilitar interrupções para portas 
paralelas. O meu kernel já é o 2.4 e não tenho os
fontes do 2.2 aqui para verificar.
Eventualmente, o que você vai precisar fazer é
executar um comando do tipo:
# echo 1  /proc/algum_arquivo_config_parport
Ou seja, habilitar a comunicação com a porta
utilizando interrupções. Procure algo que faça sentido
no /proc e veja se funciona.
Espero ter ajudado!

debian 2.2 é a escolha de info

2000-10-09 Thread Gustavo Noronha Silva
Olá pessoal!! Fico feliz em contar que o Debian 2.2 foi a escolha de Info na
seção servidores do Infra-estrutura - Sistemas Operacionais, ela foi citada
como a melhor distribuição em segurança e operação, mas to muito triste em
contar que eles, com toda sua ignorância, disseram que o rpm é mais fácil de
lidar com dependências que o deb... mandei um email pra eles e postei para
alista debian-br tb... eh um absurdo =(

Infra-estrutura SOs desses mes

2000-10-09 Thread Gustavo Noronha Silva

Sinto muito, caros amigo, mas sua reportagem sobre qual Linux escolher tem uma
falha gravíssima. Vocês dizem que o Red Hat tem um gerenciamento automático de
versões e atualização mais simples que o do Debian. Isso provavelmente se deve
ao fato de vocês não terem experimentado o APT, ferramenta atualmente exclusiva
do Debian e distribuições baseadas nele. Ele faz exatamente tudo o que vocês
citaram com muito mais praticidade. Por exemplo, para atualizar uma versão
inteira do Debian bastam 2 comandos:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

para instalar um pacote:

apt-get install pacote

esse comando faz gerenciamento de dependências, baixando todos os pacotes
necessários.

sem contar uma ótima ferramenta que é o auto-apt, que solicita a instalação de
pacotes necessários a uma compilação, por exemplo. Para informação de vocês, a
Conectiva está tentando portar o apt para sua distribuição, mas não consegue
resultados satisfatórios, pois o rpm não tem a infra-estrutura que o deb tem.

Gostaria de deixar também uma bronca... tenho visto em muitas revistas que
ensinam como fazer instalação de programas no Linux sugerirem que se reinicie
o linux. Isso é tolice sendo que se pode reiniciar apenas o serviço necessário
por meio de seu respectivo script em /etc/init.d (debian) ou /etc/rc.d (red hat
e baseados). Esse tipo de publicação acaba simplesmente com uma das melhores
qualidades do GNU/Linux, a não necessidade de reinstalar e reiniciar.

O pior, Kov, e' que eles nao estao errados. No rpm nao existe problemas
de dependencia, porque nao existe dependencia - forço a instalaçao, e
dane-se o sistema, porque quando a bomba estourar voce, como bom

Caros usuarios da Debian em portugues,
sugiro todos mandarmos um e-mail pra redacao da Abril, para explicar 
para eles como eh ridiculo administrar uma maquina com Debian GNU/Linux.
Com o auto-apt, entao eh mais facil ainda, como disse o Kov.
Basta digitar auto-apt, antes de cada instalacao de .tar.gz que ele 
procura nas bibliotecas que faltam que pacote deb poderia ser instalado para 
suprimir essas falhas.
Estou mandando esse e-mail da UOL, onde ja instalei maquinas com Debian 
GNU/Linux.
A outra grande pena da reportagem foi a nao escolha da Debian como 
desktop. Com 5000 pacotes, nao vejo o que esteja faltando em termos de 
programas na Woody.
Tem quase tudo! Desde o Afterstep, ate o Qvwm. Do gftp ate o galeon.

Re: Problemas com relay no Exim

 Oi,

 uma rede onde as máquinas possuem o endereço
 192.168.0.0/24 e o

 O que acontece é que as máquinas da rede não estão
 conseguindo 
 usar o servidor SMTP do exim para a entrega de
 mensagens ao 
 destinatário (isso antes era feito sem problemas com
 o smail). 
 A máquina que possui o exim consegue fazer o relay
 de e-mails 
 normalmente. 
 
 A linha host_accept_relay está ajustada para todos
 os endereços (*) e 
 a host_reject para aceitar somente mensagens de
 Localhost e da 
 rede 192.168.0.0/24. 

se você fez o que está escrito na linha acima, está
exatamente o contrário do que deveria ser:

a linha host_accept_relay deve conter, no seu caso:

host_accept_relay = localhost:192.168.0.0/24


a linha host_reject seria onde você qualifica os 
domínios para os quais __não__ quer fazer relay de
emails.

ou seja, no seu caso, basta colocar a linha 
host_accept_relay, tomando o cuidado de usar : como
separador de campos!

verifique também se o hosts.deny e o hosts.allow estão
configurados para aceitar conexões das máquinas
locais.

Abraços e ETA,

fine out of the box
so why compound the problem?  what is it your trying to accomplish?
 
  yes by default SMTP uses port 25.  um, what's the problem anyway?

 Well there appear to be two problems!  One is answered here

 #man fetchmail .

fetches  mail  from  remote mailservers and forwards it to
your local (client) machine's delivery  system.

The fetchmail program can gather mail  from  servers  sup­
porting  any of the common mail-retrieval protocols: POP2,
POP3, IMAP2bis, IMAP4, and IMAPrev1.  It can also use  the
ESMTP ETRN extension.  (The RFCs describing all these pro­
tocols are listed at the end of this manual page.)

While fetchmail is primarily intended to be used over  on-
demand  TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPP connections), it
may also be useful as a message transfer agent  for  sites
which refuse for security reasons to permit (sender-initi­
ated) SMTP transactions with sendmail.

As each message is retrieved fetchmail  normally  delivers
it  via  SMTP  to  port 25 on the machine it is running on
(localhost), just as though it were being passed in over a
normal  TCP/IP  link.   The  mail  will  then be delivered
locally via your system's MDA (Mail Delivery  Agent,  usu­
ally  sendmail(8)  but your system may use a different one
such as smail, mmdf, exim, or qmail).  All  the  delivery-
control  mechanisms  (such  as  .forward  files)  normally
available through  your  system  MDA  and  local  delivery
agents will therefore work.

 The other problem is with the question - what is he trying to
 acheive??

 A bit like life really..

Well, sorry folks, for being tardy on getting back with you.  I found out the 
hard
way that the Debian Install Guide wasn't kidding about /etc (among other things)
being pretty much the property of dselect/apt/dpkg, etc.  I had been farting 
around
w/ exim, sendmail, masqmail, postfix, etc., and noticed that when I had masqmail
installed, there were a _lot_ of files in /etc/ and /var/ that belonged to 
postfix
and exim, even when they weren't installed.  Well, I'll just rm those suckers.
Whoops.  Not a good idea.  I later reinstalled postfix, and debconf errored out,
cause those files weren't there.   Same w/ exim.  Well, rather than dink around
trying to figure out what package _did_ install those files, since the MTA they 
went
to obviously didn't, and since I didn't have a lot of time and effort sunk into 
my
system yet, I opted to take another tour thru the lovely Debian installation 
program
;).  Except I forgot that I actually had some useful stuff on my /home 
partition, and
wiped it. :(  So I am pretty much lost my whole archive of messages from all the
mailing lists I follow.  Talk about getting your fingers rapped!  Ouch!!

Well, now that I have my mail kinda sorta operational again, using 
Communicator, here
is some answers to some of the issues/questions you kind folks have asked:

I used to use sendmail plus a script called install-sendmail to set up sendmail 

fetchmail, to retrieve my mail from Yahoo!, and send new mail w/ the headers 
written
properly as being from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Netscape by itself, even w/
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the From: field in Preferences, would pop up
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' in one of the mail fields, which would cause someone's spam
filter on the SuSE list to kick in, and some other people just plain got irate. 
 So I
used the script, sendmail, and fetchmail instead.  Quick, simple, painless).
Unfortunately, the Debian install of sendmail doesn't seem to jive w/ the
install-sendmail script, so that rules out sendmail, as I am _not_ masochistic 
enough
to want to configure that critter otherwise.  Exim would work fine, I guess, 
but I
was initially having a bit of trouble (I guess I still am) figuring out 
_exactly_
what I need to change where, for my situation: essentially a home dialup 
system, w/ a
local username different from the username on my mail account.  Postfix does 
seem to
have a fair bit of documentation that addresses that specifically, so I'll 
probably
pursue that next.  The problem I think I had w/ fetchmail not being able to 
deliver
to the localhost smtp port was w/ masqmail, not exim.  Masqmail is the other 
finalist
for my situation, at least as I currently see it: it is a simple,

I can't think why it'd prompt you for a floppy then.  The drivers should
be on the install CD-ROM (drivers_tgz or something).  Maybe you could

Re: Installation - Driver Floppy Error

yes, this is the slink distribution. its a CD-ROM, sorry i forgot to mention
that.

i understand that there is 3 sections to be installed : the rescue disk, the
drivers floppy and the system base. it failed at the drivers floppy.

i used rawrite.exe to copy the drv1440.bin to a floppy disk and use that
during the installation, but it failed too.

Problems with a bash script and cron

2000-10-09 Thread Lars Bjarby

Hi!

This question isn't really Debian specific, but as I use Debian I thought 
this was a good forum. I've got this small bash script that works perfectly 
when I run it from the shell, but it won't work when I try to run it 
through cron and I don't get any error messages from the cron daemon either 
(maybe I'm looking in the wrong places).


The script below downloads the specified URL and generates and MD5 sum for 
the  HTML source. If this is the first time the script is run it saves the 
MD5 sum in a file otherwise the MD5 sum is checked against the old one. If 
they differ, the script will send an e-mail to me.


(yes, I know this script really isn't useful for slashdot as the page is 
different every time...but it's good for debuging)

printer setup problem

Hi:
I configured my printer setting with printtool, however, when I try to
print only thing I get is 'No spool file found' printed on the paper.
The entry in printcap is identical to the one in my redhat which is
working. I suspected ther is lp.lock file in /var/spool/lpd/lp
directory. Would that be the problem?

This same printer was most recently configured under SuSE 6.1 using

This is my first debian installation and I am bringing it up one resource

Re: Article: Debian's Daunting Installation

2000-10-09 Thread Rino Mardo

 RedHat, Mandrake, and SuSE are all quite easy to install and start
 using. I find they only get difficult later on when you need to fix
 something that broke, or want to upgrade. They can also become a real
 mess if you install un-official packages.


yes that's basically the problem with easy to install (as in GUI) distros.
what's being done is hidden from the user by Gooey.

 Debian and FreeBSD are both easy to install, easy to start using, and
 easy to maintain. You can stick to a stable branch, or you can track the
 bleeding edge. I actually prefer FreeBSD for its ports system and cvsup.
 But FreeBSD is a source-based distro, where Linux is binary
 distribution.


agree.  as this two *nix don't have pretty faces to hide what's going on
you're in control.
i like both *nix as they share (somewhat) the same package management idea.
apt-get or cvsup anything you want!





apt-cdrom and cd-rom drive

2000-10-09 Thread Glyn Millington
I'm trying to work out whether I've got a software or hardware
problem.  

Last night I was trying to put my debian cds into sources.list
with apt-cdrom.  The first two went fine but the third could not
be read - lots of whirring and grinding and flashing lights  but
no action.  So I ^C'd my way out of there.

Since then apt-cdrom add  cannot read anything; Gnome CD player
can't find a disc in the drive; I can't mount anything on /cdrom;
but get no error messages from any of these activities (or none
that I can see.)

Have I chewed up some software here or is the drive scuppered?
Is there anything else I can do to test either?

Thanks in advance

debian is different in most respect specially when it comes to /usr/local so
don't expect that what

also find differences

 You can hit Shift + Num_Lock to get something like MouseKeys using the

2000-10-09 Thread Andre Strenger
Hi all, 

I am running 2.2 with kernel 2.2.17 and raidtools2 0.90. 
At boot time md-driver tolds me he is version 0.36.6
/etc/raidtab is configured as shown in HOWTO and also the 
devices was made (type FD). After a mkraid /dev/md0 I get the errormessage 
mkraid aborted, have a look to syslog  mdstat
In mdstat he told me read_ahead not set. syslog  messages tolds
me nothing.
I didnt find any hints to this message 
Do I need a kernel patch for 2.2.17 ?
has somebody a good Idea or a little hint ???
Thanks  have a nice day, 

Greetings from Germany 
Andre

 Also there is an option for a source download.

i don't know but if not you can do this:

alien -t bcast.rpm
tar -zxvpf bcast.tar.gz
pick apart the various files and install them into /usr/local.

 Does anyone have any positive experience with any of those options?

as of yet i have not ever needed to really do this but its the best
way to do it IMO.  installing random .rpms (even if converted to
.debs) seems like a hideous idea to me. 

course i may just be pedantic, i once tried out vmware and insisted on
manually installing everything without using their obfuscated perl
install scripts.  i did get it working though, the main thing that
took so long was i made a very large effort to force it to run without
root privileges, unfortunatly i was not sucessful on that part.

Ever since I switched (temporarily) to using OE some peoples mails appear as
attachments.  I didn't have this problem before with mutt.  BTW, on the same
topic, is it sane to use Emacs for reading mails in Windows or are there any
other mailreaders for Windows that is not OE-ish.  I ask this as I know
there are Windows users in the list also who maybe using different mail

Printer configuration on debian - Another question

2000-10-09 Thread romeu

So, I have my modem running under my debian installation. Thanks to the
ones who helped me.
Next step (no, it's not an OS): Setting up the printer.
I have printtool installed, so I'm able to set my printer up.
When I run printtool and click Add, it says:
lp0: there's no printer (or something like that).
lp1: there's no printer.
...

The problem is:
The device lp0 is not bound to parport. I recompiled the kernel, installing
parport issues (I think auto-detection). In the system initialization,
debian gives me the message: parport0: HEWLLET-PACKARD DESKJET 690, or
something like that.
But when I type the command cat /proc/parport/0/devices, the only thing it
says is plip. I think it should be plip lp0, shouldn't it? Or should I
remove (how?) plip and bound (how?) lp0?

Thanks,

Gaucho

Well, this says that the client tried to use NFSv3 while your server
supports only NFSv2. So you have two choices, either make the client use
NFSv2 also or update the server for NFSv3. I don't know about the
latter, but the former can be done (well, at least on linux) with

That 'nfsvers' option will be propably different, check your Mac

pnpdump only generates an output with several options. You'll have to
modify each one, and write the results to /etc/isapnp.conf (pnpdump 
/etc/isapnp.conf does the task). So, You'll pick 1 of up to 3 IRQs, etc,
uncommenting the lines (removing #). If you have a dual boot machine, I
recommend you to use the same IRQ's an IO's values that are used under
windows.
I think that if you have isapnp installed, you don't have to do something
else. It'll read /etc/isapnp.conf and configure your card(s).
You should try to do isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf, before booting, so you'll
know the results before booting.

I'm a newbie(mostly). I'm answering you because I did a lot of mess with
isapnp, and my system did not crash.

I'm trying to use isapnp in a last ditch effort to get Potato to recognize
my
SCSI card (PnP ISA). isapnpdump sees it, and writes the config file.

However, the rather sketchy docs recommend putting the isapnp command
early in
the boot-up process. Call me chicken, but I don't wanna just mess around
with
that. So, anybody recommend a good place to stick isapnp in the boot
process;
e.g., which directory?

As always, thanks.

with wvdial you just supply your username, phone number to dial and that's

Well, I recently started using debian and about the only thing I miss is

I use at work and find wonderful), but I haven't seen a mail client that's 
as good as Eudora when it comes to things like forwarding with predefined 
messages (stationaries) and stuff like that. Maybe that's just because I 
don't know yet what's out there... 

Anyway if you're looking for a good MUA on one of the MS platforms I'd look
at Eudora (handles attachments like a charm and has an almost clean bill of
health regarding security). If you want cross-platform useability then I'd 
recommend Pine (I use it at work on a NT box and at home with debian, both
with the same .pinerc).

P.S. Can anyone tell me if mutt handles stationaries? And if so, can it use
them with forwarding in a way similar to Eudora?

3.3.6) is that normal X Fonts (such as Utopia and Helvetica) are all
strange and badly drawn. I'm running a True Type font server (xfstt) and
True Type fonts are just fine.

What seems to be the problem? I looked for the documentation in
xfree86.org and they are not mentioning anything wrong with fonts in
such X Server. If anyone ever had this trouble, what am I doing of wrong
here? I've installed all the fonts (100dpi, 75dpi, Speedo, Type1 and
TrueType).

PS/2 mouse

2000-10-09 Thread Cavaiani, Don
Greetings,

I had Debian Linux up an running just fine - until I removed the serial
mouse and replaced it with a PS/2 mouse.  Actually, I was playing with the
modem COM and IRQ settings too.

Now, the PS/2 mouse works fine when I boot into WIN98, but freezes when I
boot into the Linux x-window (Using GNOME).  The modem dials out OK from
linux but when I switch back to the x-window session, it freezes up and
there is no mouse recognized.  It there a trick to setting up a PS/2 mouse
after I originally had the serial mouse configured?

Thanks,
Don

Re: Article: Debian's Daunting Installation

2000-10-09 Thread David Wright
Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 Daunting installation? I totally disagree. Debian is the easiest console mode
 installation I have ever seen (Win 3.1, Redhat 5.something, etc.).
 
 The difficult part for me was creating the bootable CD. Once I figured out the
 queer directory structure, it was as simple as flopping the CD on the drive 
 and
 pressing enter, enter, and enter...
 
 My main complaint is against the Debian ftp directory structure: Unlike with
 Redhat and Co., you can't just copy the files off the ftp site (unless
 you're willing to put up with the truly daunting 650 MB iso download). Debian
 lumps together the various architectures, such that a simple recursive ftp 
 from
 (target site)/pub/linux/distributions/debian/ won't do the trick. Redhat, on
 the other hand, has separate directories for the files needed for i386, sparc,
 alpha, etc. (I'm not sure if things will remain just as neat with the
 multi-CD Redhat 7.0).

I don't understand. I see .../debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/
so what's that but the architecture? Or did you expect to see the
architecture above the Debian distribution in the tree?

Cheers,

How to partition a 10GB disk

2000-10-09 Thread Peter Hugosson-Miller
Hi

I am trying to partition a 10 GB IDE hard disk using the cfdisk that
starts up during the debian 2.1 (slink) install.

The problem is, cfdisk thinks the drive is only 8 GB. I've tried
AltF2 into another console and then fdisk's o command to reset the
MBR, followed by w. When I reboot and restart cfdisk, it still says
there are only 8 GB available.

If I use partition magic, I can create the partitions as I want them,
but then, when I reboot and start the install, cfdisk says the MBR is
corrupted FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition.

Any suggestions? I tried using just fdisk, BTW, but it also thinks there
are only 8 GB on the disk.

Re: How to partition a 10GB disk

You need to have ATA-2 IDE support compiled in your kernel. It supports IDE
HD's larger than 8 Gb. I don't know if you can have such thing in slink.

2000-10-09 Thread Jeff Green
Not sure you need to make a kernel change, unless I have done so
accidentally (ie used one where the change has been made for other
reasons) what you do need to do is either update the mobo bios or use
the c h s commands in fdisk to tell it how big the disk is.
The 8Gig restriction was afaik a BIOS one.

Two questions: Security and mouse

2000-10-09 Thread Ray Percival
Hi all,
I have a Intellimouse (I know I know I bought it before I knew the one true 
way) In any case I can get it to work right as a ps2 mouse but using xf86setup 
I can not get it to work right as an intellimouse. It will jump around and not 
work at all when I choose intellimouse. Any thoughts on what I need to change 
to fix this. Also has anyone tried running Bastille Linux on a 2.2 system? 
According to their webpage it should work. Just wondering if anyone has had 
good luck doing it. Thanks much,
Ray

 Sure, just grab the source and do:
 
 make startup

I had to modify Makefile and exculde comiling docs, but it's
probably local problem, not with source. 

 make
 cd build/bin
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`
 ./apt-get 
 
 You'll need to use the configuration options that offline.txt indicates so
 that you can use a custom sources.list that is not in /etc/apt/.

And i have to change some other things like Dir::Bin::methods and other,
but i think it will work. Now it's breaking on:

E: Could not open file /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin - open (2 No such
file or
directory)
E: Could not open file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - open (2 No such file
or directory)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Do i need *.cache.bin files too ?
