Re: Fallo en el arranque...

2001-01-29 Thread lasensio
Hola,

 Tengo el sistema bien configurado, es una debian 2.2.r0 
 actualizada a
 testing con apt-get, y hoy se ha negado a arrancar quedandose el 
 lilo en LIL-

Yo tengo instsalada la misma versión desde los CDs originales y tengo el 
mismo problema. Debe de ser un error de esta versión porque sino no lo 
comprendo. Si tienes una partición con Windows 9x haz lo que tuve que 
hacer, usa el programa para M$-DO$ loadlin y utilizar el gestor de 
arranque del Windows, todo esto hasta que se sepa cuál es el problema y 
haya disponible una solución.

Salu2

 Hola!
 
   Tengo un problema con las fechas en postgres 7.0. Según la
 documentación, la variable que define el formato de fecha es DATESTYLE (en
 /etc/postgresql/postmaster.init). Pues bien, ponga el formato que ponga,
 siempre me sale como mes-dia-año (US o NONEURO), cuando yo quiero que salga
 como dia-mes-año (POSTGRES o EURO).
 
   He buscado por toda la doc y no sé como arreglarlo...

Supongo que has parado y rearrancado postgres verdad ?

Tambien te quiero advertir que EURO te puede dar problema en algunas
de las inserciones de registros que contegan la eñe. 

!! OJO !!. Conviene probar bien porque no falla siempre. A mi me 
fallaba solo con algunos registros.

Suena extraño pero antes de continuar con EURO, o con otras opciones
distintas de LATIN1 en BD que puedan contener eñes entre sus datos 
recomiendo como mínimo probar lo siguiente:

8(cortar por aqui)-
# incluir el nombre de una BD accesible
DB='tienda'
psql -d ${DB} FIN
drop table tbug;
create table tbug (
num_pedido int4 NOT NULL, 
total  int4 NOT NULL, 
fech_pedidodate NOT NULL,
cp varchar(15), 
pais   varchar(45),
fchfactdate, 
anotacionesvarchar(600), -- Comentarios descripcion del pedido
PRIMARY KEY (num_pedido)) ;

psql -d ${DB} FIN
INSERT INTO tbug  ( num_pedido , total , fech_pedido , cp , pais , anotaciones  
) VALUES (  991  ,  4924  ,  '28-09-2000'  ,  '35012'  ,  'España'  ,  ' - - ' 
);
FIN

psql -d ${DB} FIN
INSERT INTO tbug  ( num_pedido , total , fech_pedido , cp , pais , anotaciones  
) VALUES (  992  ,  4924  ,  '28-09-2000'  , NULL ,  NULL  ,  ' -- ' );
FIN

psql -d ${DB} FIN
INSERT INTO tbug  ( num_pedido , total , fech_pedido , cp , pais , anotaciones  
) VALUES (  993  ,  4924  ,  '28-09-2000'  ,  '35012'  ,  'España'  ,  ' -- ' );
FIN

psql -d ${DB} FIN
INSERT INTO tbug  ( num_pedido , total , fech_pedido , cp , pais , anotaciones  
) VALUES (  994  ,  4924  ,  '28-09-2000'  ,  'A5012'  ,  'España'  ,  ' - - ' 
);
FIN

psql -d ${DB} FIN
INSERT INTO tbug  ( num_pedido , total , fech_pedido , cp , pais , anotaciones  
) VALUES (  995  ,  4924  ,  '28-09-2000'  ,  'A5012'  ,  'España'  ,  ' -- ' );
FIN

psql -d ${DB} FIN
SELECT * FROM tbug;
FIN
8(cortar por aqui)-

Dependiendo de las versiones de Postgres algunas inserciones pueden 
fallar. A mi estas pruebas me han servido pero son solo son una selección
de casos que a mi me dieron problemas.

El registro 992 es el único registro que no contiene ninguna 'ñ'. 
Elimino la 'ñ' en todos los demás ('España'-'Espaa') y entonces
desaparecen los problemas. 

Yo ahora uso LATIN1 y recomiendo a los que usen otras cosas que hagan
algunas pruebas antes de continuar.

Re: /etc/fstab

2001-01-29 Thread Daniel Payno
Hola Fermín...

decías, el 03:07-29/ene/2001:

 Hola,
 al pseudoabandonar güingus me hice una nueva partición en hda4: ahora tengo 
 fat32 en hda1, ext2 en hda2, swap en hda3 y ext2 en hda4. Ahora mi pregunta 
 es la siguiente: Cuando arranco Debian, me gustaría no tener que andar 
 montando hda4 siempre amanuensemente. Para solucionarlo me he leido man 
 mount y man fstab, ahora bien, como el gato escaldao del agua huye... ¿qué os 
 parece este fstab? ¿descomento la línea de hda4 (añadida por mi)?
/dev/hda4   /Unidad4  ext2   defaults,errors=remount-re 0  0
si pones en esta línea así

/dev/hda4   /Unidad4  ext2   auto,noexec,nosuid 0  0

casi mejor. Con el auto le dices que te la monte en el arranque, lo de noexec
y nosuid es para que no te puedan ejecutar cosas en esa partición (si la
compartes con windows, es una buena ide)

 Y otra cosa, ¿los valores 0 y 1 para qué sirven? He leido algo de ¿dump?, 
 pero no me entero muy bien.
El primer número es el del dump (que es una utilidad para hacer backups
bastante antigua). Generalmente no vas  querer usarla. El segundo número es
más importante ya que le dice al fsck.ext2 del arranque en qué orden comprueba
las particiones en el arranque (y si lo hace). Es decir, si tienes más de una
partición ext2 (además de /), tendrás que ponerle un número en ese campo para
que te la(las) compruebe en el arranque (y cada cierto tiempo te pase el fsck)
y te pase el fsck en caso de mal apagado o ida de la luz.
Si la partición está en el mismo dispositivo tiene que ser secuencial.. es
decir:

/dev/hda1   /   0   1
/dev/hda2   /usr0   2
... y así...

Si está en otro dispositivo pueden tener el mismo índice (ventajas de la
multitarea).. es decir:

/dev/hda1   /   0   1
/dev/hdb1   /var0   1
/dev/hda2   /usr0   2
... y así...

el boot, el filesystem, y cualquier excusa es buena... La cuestión es que no 
hay forma humana (no sé si habrá cyborg) de poder montar un zip. 
Desgraciadamente no tengo ningún zip de 250 para probar a ver si lo monta bien, 
pero lo que sip que tengo es otra zipotera de 250 donde he probado el zip de 
100, y desde un G4, y me lo ve bien. Y el mismo zip, en mi casa y con una

¿Alguna idea y/o ayuda?

Netatalk

2001-01-29 Thread Luis Manuel Asensio Royo
Hola a todos,

Tengo un problema 'interesante' con el netatalk...

Hace tiempo instalé este paquete para crear un servidor de ficheros
tanto para Macs como para PeCes (con el Samba), para hacer más fácil el
traspaso de ficheros. Hasta hace poco ha funcionado sin problemas, pero
este viernes pasado he descubierto una anomalía...

Tenía cedido un directorio que era común para ambos sistemas. Desde
Windows no hay problema de acceso, pero desde los Mac ya no se ve.
Cuando se introduce el nombre de usuario y la contraseña, no aparece
nada en la lista de directorios cedidos.

Entre prueba y prueba, se me ocurrió ceder otro directorio diferente
añadiendo al fichero AppleVolumes.default un camino de acceso, y éste se
si que se ve desde los Macs. Aprovechando que se podía acceder, puse un
enlace simbólico al primer directorio, y se podía acceder sin problemas,
aunque sólo se tenían permisos de escritura si era con el usuario con el
que se dió originalmente de alta en el Linux.

Mi pregunta es, ¿qué ha pasado? ¿por qué ahora el primer directorio que
cedí no aparece?, ¿por qué 'dando un rodeo' si tengo acceso?. He mirado
permisos de acceso, he cambiado la contraseña, he mirado que no se trate
de un problemas con los discos duros, dado que ambos directorios se
montan en discos diferentes, etc.

Desde que funcionó hasta ahora han habido cambios, he creado dos
usuarios más, he instalado el Apache, recompilé el kernel 2.2.18, he
cedido más directorios con el Samba, etc, y he estado a punto de usar el
'método Windows' (desinstalar y reinstalar), pero como se ven los
directorios que añado ya no sé qué hacer...

Lo bueno del caso es que ahora sé como compartir impresoras para los
Mac, pero para que usen una Epson LQ-570+ creo que necesito el fichero
PPD de descripción de Postscript general. Me he bajado todos los
ficheros de descripción de todas las impresoras del sitio de Adobe, pero
no está ni esta impresora, ni tampoco la de la HP DeskJet+, que también
tengo 'pelea' para compartirla a través del puerto serie del ordenador.

Uso netatalk muy poco, y tengo los directorios separados, así que en

Pues claro que no encuentras un fichero PPD para la Epson LQ, que
nunca fue una impresora postscript, ya que PPD significa Postscript
Printer Definition (o description, no lo recuerdo). El facto es que lo
que realmente necesitarías sería encontrar el método para hacer que el
mac mande los datos ya para la Epson y configurar el linux para que lo
pase a un seudo filtro raw (es decir sin cambiar nada). Pero la mejor
solución es que le digas al mac que es una impresora postscript y uses
magicfilter o cualquier otro que sepa como transformar los diferentes
formatos para esta impresora, probablemente con ayuda de
ghostscript. Le estoy diciendo al mac que sea una Apple Laser y no
estoy teniendo ningún problema imprimiendo en chorro de tinta,
laser...

acentos en el campo From:. Nos pusimos en contacto y me dijo que de nuevo le 
volvía a pasar lo mismo. Dedujimos, con buen criterio ;), que debía ser un 
problema generado en la actualización de algún paquete. Y efectivamente, en el 
nuevo /etc/Muttrc aparece una línea:

# don't generate a From header
unset use_from

que no aparecía en el antiguo Muttrc. La solución es comentar esta línea, con 
eso ya tenemos acentos y ñ y todo eso en nuestro From:.

 Hola a todos, ésta es la primera consulta que envío a la lista, y 

Acorde con tu primera consulta, mi primer intento de ayuda en la lista :-)

 seguro que no será la última. En mi PC tengo instalada Debian Slink, y 
 resulta que tengo una impresora HP Deskjet 400 que quisiera hacerla 
 imprimir en Linux. El problema es que no tengo ni idea de como se 
 haría. ¿Alguien podría ayudarme?.

Lo voy a intentar yo...

Lo primero sería activar en el núcleo el soporte para puerto paralelo.
Eso se encuentra en:

 General Setup (kernel-2.2.X) - Parallel port support

Acto seguido, también debemos activar el soporte para impresoras por el
puerto paralelo:

 Character devices (kernel-2.2.X) - Parallel printer support

Existe otra opción Support IEEE1284 status readback que no sé para que
vale, porque desconozco por completo esa norma de la IE^3. Yo, con una HP
Deskject 695 la tengo activada e imprimo, pero no he probado si
deshabilitandolo funciona.

Recompilando el núcleo debería funcionar. Si estás usando versiones del
núcleo diferentes a la 2.2.X debería ser similar.

Así, tal como se queda, funciona para imprimir texto (o el código PS de un
fichero postscript :-)

Pero existe una aplicación llamada magicfilter que permite que imprimas
postcript con tu impresora. Obviamente, esto lo hace con ayuda de
ghostscript, así que no te debe faltar. Ni que decir tiene que tambien
te será útil lprng o lpr para gestionar la cola de impresión.

La configuración de magicfilter es sencilla, tan solo necesitas decirle
que filtro debe aplicar para poder imprimir cualquier tipo de formato. De
esta manera, tras ejecutar magicfilterconf:

 1.- Te pregunta por el nombre de la impresora. Ese no tiene por qué ser
 el nombre de fábrica de la impresora.
 2.- Luego un nombre corto para el directorio de la cola de impresión
 3.- Acto seguido, el nombre del dispositivo (/etc/lp0 o /etc/lp1) Yo uso
 lp0 y funciona, quizás te sirva de ayuda, puesto que tengo una HP 695
 4.- Ahora toca la selección del filtro. Como es una HP Deskjet
 seleccionamos deskjet.
 5.- Ya hemos terminado con esta impresora, si deseásemos poner más, JMP 1
 Si no, escribimos done y terminamos.

Este proceso nos ha creado un fichero (/etc/printcap) como el que sigue:
(He obviado los comentarios)

lp|hp695|HP Deskjet 695:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp695:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/deskjet-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:

Además ha creado el directorio /var/spool/lpd/hp695. magicfilterconf 
también ha reiniciado el demonio de impresión, con lo que el binomio
impresora-linuxBox está listo para imprimir postcript, texto...

Espero haber sido de ayuda sin haber causado por ello somnolencia.

Saludos.

gnome-glade

2001-01-29 Thread Andres Seco Hernandez
Hola

He instalado gnome-glade (ya no se si de Debian o de La Espiral), el caso
es que necesitaría generar codigo Perl, pero se queja de que glade2perl no
existe, y no veo cual es el paquete que lo incluye. He leido donde estan
(en que paquetes) los conversores para pyhton, eiffiel, y otros, pero no
para Perl.

¿donde y cual?

libqt2.2-mt

2001-01-29 Thread Andres Seco Hernandez
Hola

El avifile que hace poco habeis comentado que no se quien tenía en paquete
para potato depende de libqt2.2-mt, y este no tengo ni idea de donde
encontrarlo.

No se porqué me sonaba que en Diciembre se había hablado e la lista de
este paquete, y he revisado el archivo de listas desde Noviembre, pero no
lo encuentro. ¿Donde está?

Por otra parte ¿no hay una busqueda en el archivo de la lista? Es una
movidita buscar cualquier cosa, ¿no?

Saludos y gracias

   placas, etc...) ? Voces conhecem algum computador que seja mais
   recomendavel (ou menos) para o Linux (potato) ?

A primeira pergunta a ser feita é : Qual será a utilidade deste computador 
?  , segundo, Quanto se almeja gastar ?. Um computador para um adolescente 
possivelmente deve ter uma placa aceleradora 3D , uma workstation para um 
cientista deve ter o máximo de memória possível, um servidor web deve ter 
discos imensos e rápidos. Compreende meu ponto ? Também , não é possível eu 
lhe recomendar comprar um Athlon 1.3Ghz se há somente dinheiro para comprar 
um Duron de 600Mhz.

Tenho um amigo que acabou de comprar um sistema com a seguinte configuração :

Athon 800 Mhz  
128 Mb de SDRAM
Motherboard com chipset VIA KT133 da MSI e dispositivo de som AC'97
placa de video Trident 3D Image AGP c/ 4Mb.
HD Seagate Barracuda de 10Gb de 7200 rpm
Zip drive interno
Drive de CDROM
Floppy
gabinete atx 
teclado ergonômico ABNT2
mouse 3botoes PS/2 , etc, acho que é isto .

É um sistema completamente compatível com potato que custou R$ ~ 1900,00.
A utilidade deste computador é o seu uso em pesquisa de elementos finitos 
para sua tese. Perceba que ele comprou um HD pequeno , uma vez que este 
iria ter um fim bem específico com uma quantidade de dados não muito grande( 
sem som , sem imagem ,sem video, somente texto e programas), uma placa mãe 
tem suporte a até 1.5 Gb de RAM , isto é importante , pois , em pouco tempo 
os seus programas estarão usando mais que 500Mb de RAM. Placa de Video 2D ( 
apesar do nome ), uma vez que ele não iria trabalhar imagens 3D. Zip para 
backup e troca de dados com a Universidade.

Se é um sistema doméstico de entretenimento um Duron 600Mhz , com 64 Mb de 
ram , placa com chipset VIA KT133 , com suporte a discos UDMA 100 ( discos 
são importantes no startup do sistema e dos programas ) e placa de video 3D ( 
eu não sei recomedar placa de video 3D pois não sei como as utilizar), talvez 
, gravador de CDROM.  

E por aí vai .

Bem, existe um esforco para garantir compatibilidade em termos de

Hierarchy Standard.  A HP oficial e'

http://www.pathname.com/fhs/

Contudo, nao sei informar o quanto as outras distribuicoes estao se
aproximando desse padrao.  Sei apenas que a Debian esta' se esforcando
muito por segui-la, como se pode ver em

 http://www.debian.org

e que a SuSE de fato nao o segue.

A dispersao das distribuicoes ja' motivou o famoso anuncio da Microsoft
Alemanha, no qual se mostrava um monte de pinguins, cada um com cabeca

Gostaria que gente mais experiente em distribuicoes diferentes do Linux

 Presuming the site hosts the whole mirror (i.e. not partial) and rsync

minimal Debian installation

2001-01-29 Thread Ralf Müller
Hello,

Installing Debian on many Systems from time to time gets me into troble. If
I want to install a minimal system while using a kernel compiled by me, the
standard Debian installation procedure often fails.

Does anyone know the install procedure od Debian? Because I want to make the
following task:

create a booting disk (using a 'up-to-date' kernel and lets say 'grub').
(I am familiar to this)

create a CD with minimal system, debian-installation-program (how is it
called?) and the needed network-packages including dpkg, apt, console-apt.

Booting this system I can use dpkg--set-selections and install the rest of
the system.

My questions are:

-  What is the installation program called and how is it invoked from
   standard debian installation procedure (passing the 'init=bla.sh' option to
   the kernel???) ?

- What are the needed packages for a network-setup to get ready for the use
  of apt-get?

- How can I make a bootable CD with grub?

Thank you very much.

If this problem is solved, I can produce a minimal installation-procedure
for installing a well known installation to a further Computer with network
access.

Bye Ralf Müller

save package selection?

2001-01-29 Thread MaD dUCK
hi, is there a way to save the selection of packages (independent of
version numbers) that exist on the system so that the same set of
programs can be conveniently restored or installed on another machine?

sure, i can parse dpkg -l into perl and do my thing that way, but
that's a feature a package management system like dpkg/dselect ought
to have. even crappy-suse comes with that... (redhat doesn't though).

Font corruption under XF86 4.0

2001-01-29 Thread Daishi Harada

Hello,

I recently moved from stable to testing, and in the process to XF86
(4.0.2-1). The problem that I am having is that fonts/text seem to get 
corrupted/not properly refreshed; i.e., when I originally type text
everything is fine, but if I occlude the text (e.g. with another
window) and then bring the text window to the foreground the fonts
become corrupted (the fonts looks like they're missing some
scanlines). Has anyone encountered with problem/know a solution?

I'm using the neomagic driver (for a Thinkpad 560x). I'm using xfs-xtt 
for my font server, and played with the config there a bit, and am
pretty sure that's not the issue. Speaking of which, however, does
anyone know why fonts look worse through xfs? I put the same paths in
/etc/X11/xfs/config's catalogue field as I have in XF86Config's
FontPath fields, but if I go through xfs (i.e., if I have unix/:7100 
listed as the first FontPath) the same fonts look different than when
I put the unix/:7100 last.

Please cc me with any replies,
Thanks, Daishi

That is why many people have to make there ideas public :-)

 That may well involve an almost electronic-level understanding of the

 is
 that people coming from windows no almost nothing about the hardware they 
 have -
 if their motherboard has a sound set built on to it then they will not know 
 the
 chipset (I didn't for a long time ;-). This may become the hampering factor - 
 if
 you have to specify everything (down to design of motherboard, IDE controllers
 etc) then it may become a little too complex.

Well - A database just can go by name and probably you could put
something like a relation table in there, thus somebody can say: That
will work like product A. (if he finds it a relation table) otherwise it
has to guess with one of the products of the same producer. But at least
at the beginning I will not include that feature: It can leed to too
many troubles if the database is empty.
 
 This could be an excellant resource, but it needs a lot of sitting down, and
 thinking and designing to make it as good as it could be.

CD-burning packages are not installed yet, I was just testing the drive
after recompiling the kernel.
As a user I could mount the drive but could not read it with a simple ls

BUT this morning without having changed anything it works!

I can read a data-cd and play a music-cd, but I don't understand why I can
now and not yesterday. Is there something in the start-up scripts of cron
that could do it? Thats the only stuff that ran since yesterday...

Anyway now I can install the burning stuff and start messing around.

  Try changing /dev/cdrom to be in the cdrom group.
  
  # chown root.cdrom /dev/cdrom
 
 you normally can't change the group of a link, it has no meaning.

Not if you are going to replace Corel (and Corel uses ext2).


 If I use fdisk I will be erasing a BeOS partition to put linux on but I

Well, during install LILO will be installed, so you can boot up Debian. If
you alter the lilo.conf after installation to your needs, everything

Ah, right. I misunderstood you (thinking that you wanted a way to change
the keymap on the fly rather than having to edit XF86Config and restart
X).

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that

2001-01-29 Thread Gabor Gludovatz
Hi,

I connect to the Internet from a masqueraded LAN through a masquerading
gateway/proxy server. My problem is that, if I am logged in to somewhere
outside our network with ssh or telnet, after a little while of inactivity
the gateway resets the connection and I have to reconnect.

The proxy server is a Deb 2.1 with kernel 2.0.38. What should I set in its
kernel if I want to keep the connection even if it's idle?

(it's all the same, wherever I connect to, I get disconnected, so it's
not a logoutd thing.)

console display problem

2001-01-29 Thread Johann Spies
For the first time I got different and incorrect results from my
compose key on the tty1-console.

Characters like ëôáéíóú shows up as greek or mathematical symbols on
tty1.  I wanted to send you an example, but copying the output from
tty1 to tty2 resulted in the correct characters displayed in tty2-6.
That convinced me that it is a display problem rather than a keymap
problem.

Any ideas what is causing it?

Disaster: apt-get upgrade broke X!

I've been tracking the upgrades in Woody for about 2 months using 
apt-get  without problems, but today it tried to upgrade X and 
it's broken it so that X won't work at all.

Question: how can I start again and reinstall everything from
potato?

I just managed to make it through the X upgrade in testing, so I might
be able to help you prevent a downgrade to Potato (which is probably
more of a pain than fixing X).  What sort of problems are you having?  I
noticed that the upgrade doesn't get all the packages one needs, so you
need to apt-get them on your own.

Re: How to manage file /etc/modules; What process?

2001-01-29 Thread Hall Stevenson
 I have changed the kernel modules several times and
 in looking over the various files that are used when the
 kernel boots..I noticed the the file /etc/modules has not
 changed since I installed the system Dec.18,2000. It
 seems that this should be altered as the kernel gives a
 lot of boot messages indicating that it can not find many
 of the modules listed as needed. However they are no
 longer necessary with the alterations to the new kernel.
 There are also other modules that I think should be
 loaded that are not. What is the process for altering this
 file correctly? Is it something that I must hand edit or is
 there a tool to manage it.

I think you only need to list items that you really want loaded at boot
time. Since modules load and unload as necessary, it isn't vital that
they all be in memory right at bootup. For example, sound... do you
start using something that uses the sound module right away ?? Or,
vfat (if applicable)... I only need that module if I'm going to read
or write a file from my Windows partition.

Type lsmod sometime and see what modules are actually resident in
memory. I think a 0 value means there *is* a module, but it's
currently not loaded. A 1 means it's loaded in memory.

Regards
Hall

Yes you can do that.  Where I work the policy is one main service per
server for security and performance reasons.  If this box is for home
use/education and you don't have the space or resources for 5 or 6 
boxes I would say, go for it.  If you are running a business where your

it?  Yes, that should work.  But why do you want this to be in your

 But when I try start with file
 crontab  Eth0Dwn

This is a strange way to want to set a crontab... man crontab
seems to say it'll work, but the file might need to be executable or
something.
 
 Eth0Dwn
 00 21 * * *  /sbin/ifdown eth0

I presume you mean that the file Eth0Dwn contains that line.
What do you see when you crontab -l?

Why do you want to do this anyway?  Isn't it simpler to edit the

There's likely a module or modules that were in your stock kernel still
in /lib/modules/2.2.17. Running make modules_install just adds the
modules you compiled to that dir. It doesn't remove existing or obsolete
ones.

Do a mv /lib/modules/2.2.17 /lib/modules/2.2.17-backup and then re-run
make modules_install.

  using 2.1 w/ 2..0.X I was able to add it to /etc/init.d/network
  
  that file no longer exists and has been replaced by /etc/network/interface
  
  I have tried to make an executable script and adding a link to /etc/rcS.d 
  and rc3.d call S38interface, but that doesn't seem to work
  
  thanks for any thoughtful suggestions
 
 /etc/network/interfaces

Sorry for the not-so-thoughtful-suggestion.  I just got out of bed and
didn't read properly.  I spoke to Nick off list.  I suggested he create
a file in /etc/init.d/ -

#! /bin/sh
route add -host 255.255.255.255 dev eth1

chmod 755 and run update-rc.d
If someone has something better to add please do so.

(Off-topic -- kernel-package isn't needed since you're compiling kernels

 made my own kernel ( make dep clean bzImage;
 make modules; make modules_install)

 After running lilo and a reboot i get lots of unresolved symbol
 in module blablabla.

 Why is this ? What have i done wrong or what have i forgoten ?
 How can this be fixed ?

There's likely a module or modules that were in your stock kernel still
in /lib/modules/2.2.17. Running make modules_install just adds the
modules you compiled to that dir. It doesn't remove existing or obsolete
ones.

Do a mv /lib/modules/2.2.17 /lib/modules/2.2.17-backup and then re-run
make modules_install.

Re: Font corruption under XF86 4.0

2001-01-29 Thread Rick Loga
Are you using the xfs-xtt font server or the xfs font server?  You refer to 
both.  AFAIK only the xfs font server works with version 4 and to use it you do 
need unix/:7100 in the front of the font paths.  X starts with the first line 
and if it doesn't work, it tries the next line, etc.

Hello,

I recently moved from stable to testing, and in the process to XF86
(4.0.2-1). The problem that I am having is that fonts/text seem to get 
corrupted/not properly refreshed; i.e., when I originally type text
everything is fine, but if I occlude the text (e.g. with another
window) and then bring the text window to the foreground the fonts
become corrupted (the fonts looks like they're missing some
scanlines). Has anyone encountered with problem/know a solution?

I'm using the neomagic driver (for a Thinkpad 560x). I'm using xfs-xtt 
for my font server, and played with the config there a bit, and am
pretty sure that's not the issue. Speaking of which, however, does
anyone know why fonts look worse through xfs? I put the same paths in
/etc/X11/xfs/config's catalogue field as I have in XF86Config's
FontPath fields, but if I go through xfs (i.e., if I have unix/:7100 
listed as the first FontPath) the same fonts look different than when
I put the unix/:7100 last.

Please cc me with any replies,
Thanks, Daishi
