First of all, these C/H/S fields can be filled only when the number of heads and the number of sectors per track are known.

Dudas en instalacion de debian

Re: Dudas en instalacion de debian
Hola, No te lies, una cosa es la tarjeta de red y otra el modem. Ahi lo que tienes que configurar es la tarjeta de red, con lo que no debes elegir DHCP si tienes conexión vía modem.

Re: Dudas en instalacion de debian
Justo antes del párrafo que mencionas, el manual dice lo siguiente: Configure the hostname Preguntarán por el nombre de la maquina. Escoge el que mas te guste. Si das a ENTER por defecto sera debian. Luego preguntaran si estas conectado a la red. Si la conexión se va a establecer via PPP, entonces hay que responder No. En tu caso la conexión se va a hacer via PPP (es decir, con módem), con lo cual *no* debes configurar nada de red. Responde No a dicha pregunta para saltarse la parte de la configuración de red. En el mismo manual que estás usando viene más adelante cómo configurar la conexión a internet utilizando pppconfig. Por cierto, ese manual no es el manual de instalación de Debian (al menos no el que está en www.debian.org), sino que se trata de la Guía Práctica de Debian 2.2 (Potato) para nuevos usuarios de Debian, de A. Gustavo González, que tiene la ventaja de que es más práctico que el manual de instalación oficial. Espero haberte ayudado, Saludos.

No consigo hacer funcionar la aceleración HW en una voodoo 3
Hola ! Por más que lo intento, no consigo que funcione la aceleración hardware en las X (4.0.3). Tengo una Voodoo 3 2000, el módulo tdfx compilado dentro del kernel -no como módulo- , la pantalla está puesta a 16 bits de color. Creo que eso era lo necesario para que funcionase las X. Por supuesto, el archivo XF86Config-4 hace referencia a la tarjeta voodoo en la sección de Screen. Lo que es peor, es que antes (hará menos de 2 meses) sí que funcionaba, porque me estuve peleando con eso hasta que funcionó, pero no sé porque ahora ya no (antes tenía las 4.0.1). Si alguien puede arrojar luz sobre mi problema estaré muy agradecido.

Cups, mal configurado?
Buenas. Tengo instalado cups desde hace unos dias, la version 1.0.4-9 de Potato. El caso es que la primera vez que lo instale, la configuracion fue correcto, excepto en un pequeño detalle. Al abrir con navegador, el navigator concretamente, la pagina de configuracion, me pidio la password del root, del administrador. Pues bien, me equivoque al teclearla, y ahora, no puedo acceder a ciertas opciones de administracion de la impresora. Concretamente, no puedo acceder a http://localhost:631/admin. Me dice que no tengo permisos (logicamente) para acceder a ese recurso. He probado a desinstalar, purgando incluso los ficheros de configuracion, pero na, cuando vuelvo a instalar, sigo teniendo ese problema. Los paquetes que tengo instalados son: ii cupsys 1.0.4-9Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - base ii cupsys-bsd 1.0.4-9Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD command ii libcupsys1 1.0.4-9Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs ii libcupsys1-dev 1.0.4-9Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - development Como puedo hacer para volver a empezar de 0, y que me pida la password, poner la correcta, y acceder a las opciones de administracion?

Sobre x/y/z-Modem
Hola, necesito que alguien me ayude en un problemilla que tengo. He desarrollado una aplicación tipo Hiperterminal, para comunicar dos equipos mediante un módem. La duda viene al emplear unos comandos de Linux llamados r[x|y|z] y s[x|y|z], que sirven para recibir y mandar archivos con los protocolos X-Y-Z/modem. No se si es problema de al aplicación, o de que no se usar estos comandos, pero al intentar enviar archivos contra una maquina Windows el archivo no se manda, y ya no se si es que las implementaciones de estos protocolos en Linux y en Windows son distintas, o que no se emplear estos comandos; Si alguien los ha empleado alguna vez, me puede ayudar explicandome su uso? En principio sería sólo sz nombrearchivo, pero no se si le tengo que especificar el puerto del modem, ni donde. La página del manual no lo explica, o yo no lo he visto.

lvm con reiser

quizás tendré que juntar dos discos duros con reiser
es decir, de dos discos de 6GB hacer uno de 12GB. Si no estoy equivocado
se hace con LVM (estoy buscando el hwoto que leí hace tiempo)
Me gustaría saber si alguien lo ha intentado, si va bien, si con Reiser va
bien :-) etc..
es decir, con reiser seguirá siendo todo journaled?

Re: Sid
Hola! Si no tienes una conexión a internet estable no te aconsejo ponerte la sid. Se bajan alrededor de 15Mb diarios en cada actualización (depende de cuantos paquetes tengas instalados, claro), y eso ahora, que está un poco más estable, que antes llegaba incluso a los 50Mb diarios. Por lo demás, considero la sid más estable que otras releases de distribuciones que no son Debian. Algún que otro paquete te actualizará y no funcionará del todo bien, sobretodo al configurarse, pero se suele solucionar en cuestión de días en otra actualización. De todas maneras, según tengo entendido, Woody va muy cerca de Sid ahora mismo (para que un paquete pase de Sid a Woody tiene que estar un tiempecito estabilizado), así que ponerse la Sid para trabajar en serio no lo recomiendo, pero para aprender viene de perlas.

Problem with gnome-utils

[Kris.VanHeurck@siemens.atea.be: i810 chipset on potato]
| I am currently installing Debian GNU/Linux potato on a machine in | our labs. I found out (by opening the case, since I had no | documentation on the machine) that there is a i810 chipset inside. I'm not sure if our two situations are similar, but a couple of months ago I had to install Debian (potato) on a Dell Optiplex, which has an on-board video card which uses the i810 chipset. It worked beautifully in the end, but the only way I found to make it work well was to use the version of the agpgart module available from the Intel site itself, along with the XFCom_i810 server from the same site (support.intel.com). There's a PDF document at the Intel site which provides very clear step by step instructions for all of this. I still have a copy which I'll be happy to mail you if you want it. I have a worry that having set the system up this way is going to complicate the upgrade to woody and XFree 2.4; but at the time it was the only solution that I could actually make work. And it worked really well. Jim

perl mods for slashcode
I decided to give up on php-nuke since I cannot get apache to recognize php4. So, I've gone to trying to configure slashcode. Except now I'm having problems loading certain modules from cpan. I can't load Compress::Zlib or XML::Parser it errors saying that it must be some kind of bogus file. It also complains that it cannot load some file because I need to load Term::ReadKey, but when i try to install that I get an EOF error. I am thinking the problem must be in the server CPAN is pulling from. How do I change that? Or, does anyone have another suggestion? Wayne

Netscape memory leak in debian?
Hi, every one. Has ony one noticed that when you exit Communicator 4.77 if you select File / Exit; then go to the console type top There are still two or at least one communicator process running, takes up a lot of memory and does nothing!. I have to kill it with signal 9. It is a rule I bet that at least on my machine :-). But If you select File / Close and close untill the last netscape windows it doesn't usually happen like that. I got communicator installed from netscape and suspect that it may not be compatible, then I delete that and use apt-get to install from security.debian.org site; it is the same. I can not remember if it happened when I ran Netscape 4.77 in Slack (I got that before) but may be not.

When I try to browse the shares I can see and hear the hard drive cranking for a few seconds before I see a response. I guess I need to increase the power of the machine (acquire more RAM), or perhaps I will get better performance if I run it as standalone and let it sit in swap most of the time. There are two problems. First that you identyfied. More, more RAM ... On my server (486/33) 20MB RAM was sufficient on potato. Now it is running woody - I had to remove many services, play with priorities for others. Currently nmbd and bind have -6, smbd +3, lprng +12, sendmail +19 (with limiting to 3 children). Apache was gone, dhttpd is in use. Second is that nmbd is like DNS service but it has different properties. Yes, you can run it from inetd but it will be usable ater some time after starting (only one advantage for non standalone nmbd is quick reload via killall :) I use that samba server in multiple subnets enviroment for years without mayor problems but in all cases I allways configure WIN*-stations to use my server as WINSserver - dynamic configuration (aka browser election) causes many troubles.

ximian 1.4 and woody
hello, my system is debian testing/unstable and i'd still like to use ximian 1.4...any experiences? i mean it's working, more or less...i basically added the ximian server to my sources list and apt-get installed the packages. results: gnome is working as far as i can tell, with the following exceptions: -red carpet depends on packages usermode, which depends on two packages which don't seem to be available for woody, so i got them from potato instead. but when i try to start red-carpet (after the query for the root password pops up as usual) i get a segmentation fault...so, no red-carpet! -there is this general problem that the package libgnomeprint11 won't install because apparently it doesn't want to overwrite some files that have already been provided by libgnomeprint-bin -- because of the arising dependency issues nautilus, gnumeric and abiword won't install either! any ideas there? well, those are my main problems basically. any ideas on how to fix them? thanks all! -vester

kernel, 2.4.5, and, Lite-On, LNE100TX, NIC
Hi folks, This is a little OT for this list, but I thought I'd ask around here before annoying the kernel gods on the kernel list. At the moment I'm running 2.4.3-ac7 with no real problems. I have an ethernet card which identifies itself thusly to lspci 00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Lite-On Communications Inc LNE100TX (rev 20) This uses dhcpcd to get an IP address to connect to the outside world. I also have another NIC, which also uses the tulip chipset (as does the one above) to connect to my local lan. I tried upgrading to both 2.4.5 and 2.4.5-ac1 last night, and with both of these kernels, my NIC was unable to connect to the dhcp server to get an ip address. If I rebooted back into the 2.4.3-ac7 kernel, it works fine again. The other NIC works fine, regardless. Is there anyone else here who is having problems with that kernel and that NIC? I haven't yet established whether it's the card or dhcpcd or a combination of both, unfortunately. Any advice on how to further diagnose the possible problem? Any other info that would be helpful? cheers, damon -- Damon Muller | Homicide is, no matter what else it might Department of Criminology | be, a social relationship.

The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package files.

Bad news: testing *is* year-old software. By the time it's stable it'll be two eyars old. Unless I'm mistaken, testing is mostly software that hasn't changed in unstable for two weeks. Making an allowance for bursts of minor changes and things being held back by dependencies and cross-package conflicts (which you probably don't want on your system anyhow, which makes this a good thing, IMO), most testing packages are within 1-2 months of unstable. So, are you claiming that unstable is 10-11 months old? (BTW, I just got around to pulling kernel 2.4.4 out of testing... I don't deny that there's likely to be some year-old stuff in testing, but I doubt that it's the majority and I know that a fair bit of unstable is more recent than that.) Based on my observations of the (pre-testing) slink-potato changeover and my understanding of how testing works, I would suspect that most of woody's package aging en route to stable will be taking place in frozen, not testing. -- That's not gibberish...

Instead of having to view it through the web browser when connected to the internet. How about doing it the other way around, access your isp's email account with a free email account? There are lots of reasons why this is, IMO, a less desirable solution, mostly centering around the basic notion that, if the mail is on your machine, you can access and filter it however you want instead of being tied to whatever piece of drek interface the mail service provider gives you. In this particular case, I suspect (based on the when connected to the internet comment above) that mdevin is on a dialup link and doesn't want to have to bring the link up and tie up a phone line while reading mail over that slow link. -- That's not gibberish...

Re: Netscape memory leak in debian?
Subject: Netscape memory leak in debian? Date: Sun, May 27, 2001 at 07:05:41PM +1000 In reply to:Steve Kieu Quoting Steve Kieu([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hi, every one. Has ony one noticed that when you exit Communicator 4.77 if you select File / Exit; then go to the console type top There are still two or at least one communicator process running, takes up a lot of memory and does nothing!. I have to kill it with signal 9. It is a rule I bet that at least on my machine :-). But If you select File / Close and close untill the last netscape windows it doesn't usually happen like that. I got communicator installed from netscape and suspect that it may not be compatible, then I delete that and use apt-get to install from security.debian.org site; it is the same. I can not remember if it happened when I ran Netscape 4.77 in Slack (I got that before) but may be not. I not sure this is debian specific or netscape itself ? what could cause it? how to fix it? any ideas pls ? Install Navigator and remove Communicator. It doesn't have that problem here. -- Office Automation, n.: The use of computers to improve efficiency by removing anyone you would want to talk with over coffee. ___
Re: Installing Potato with Promise RAID controller
Now, after 4 hours of work, I've finally managed to install potato using the linux driver from Promise. If someone is interested in the exact way I did it, I could provide a description. Jonas Am Samstag, 26. Mai 2001 18:55 schrieb Jonas Wolz: Hi, I'm trying to install Potato (2.2r2) on a box with two harddisks connected to a Promise PDC20265 controller in RAID 0 mode (the two harddisks appear like one, big harddisk). With the UDMA66 kernel, the system boots up fine, and it recognizes a disk connected to the controller as /dev/hde, but the kernel thinks that /dev/hde has only the size of _one_ disk, not the sizes of _both_ disks together. One effect of this is that the partition table is considered corrupt: The primary NTFS partition is considered to extend over the end of the drive and the logical NTFS and FAT partitions inside a extended partition (where the linux partitions should go, too) are not found. Has anybody a idea how to fix this, so that the correct size is recognized ? TIA, Jonas
apt-get dist-upgrade
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, When I execute 'apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade', nothing seems to happen. apt-get reports back that the packages are up-to-date. I am pretty sure that they are not because before it was asking me to update some GNOME libraries and other packages (which I did not perform). Does anyone have an explanation for this behaviour?

I seem to recal someone on the list saying to replace the lines for stable with: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free That line is correct, leave unstable out of it, unless you want sid. but this will also get packages from unstable, which I would prefer not to do at this time. If I do make these changes and do an 'apt-get update/upgrade' then apt wants to upgrade 188 packages on my box, add 40 some packages and delete 11 packages. If I only have the line for testing in my sources.list then 'upgrade' only wants to change 7 packages and 'dist-upgrade' also updates only 7 packages and wants to delete 3 others. There is much that simply does not exist in testing that is in stable and unstable. I thought that testing was a complete set of packages, but this does not seem to be the case. Can anyone explain exactly the way packages flow through the system, including when a new release becomes stable? Testing is a bit screwy right now, but word is it should be fixed sometime soon. AFAIK, there's something wrong with the Packages file, but I could be wrong. I'd wait a day or so so they can get everything repaired. Anyone know more or more accurate info? -- Paul T.
