APMD
Saludos debianeros Soy novicio en Debian, he conseguido instalarlo sin problemas en un portatil de 2º mano que tengo.. todo ha ido bien me pilla las PCMCIA del CDROM externo , el modem/red ,etc... mi pregunta es : ?pero en que parte de la instalación activo en el Kernel , el demonio APMD, de indicación de carga de la bateria?¿..me lo instaló con todo el soporte que lleva Debian de modulos PCMCIA pero no me lo activa en el kernel..:-( ?¿me va a tocar reconfigurar el núcleo?¿... ?¿sabeis de otra solución?...

Enrique Marcote Peña, sábado 09 de junio de 2001 a la(s) 00:35:59 +0200: Totalmente de acuerdo, pero es que llevo algún tiempo siguiendo las discusiones sobre profile, bash_profile...etc., y todavía no tengo nada claro donde definir los alias para que me funcionen siempre y en todo circunstancia. Lo comprendo, yo tampoco lo entendí muy bien. En un momento tras leer la página man 4 ó 5 veces seguidas me llegué a hacer una idea ;^) y lo solucioné con un .bash_profile así: #!/bin/bash . $HOME/.bashrc Y metiendo todo en el .bashrc. Así tendrás todo lo que pongas en todas las shells. Me encuentro a veces con algún problemita porque algo sólo tiene sentido en consola o en X (por ejemplo el keymap) y tuve que recurrir a algo tan poco elegante como: if [ `tty|cut -d'/' -f3` != pts ]; then # cargar keymap sólo en consola loadkeys --quiet keymap-full fi Pero bueno, lo que es funcionar, funciona :^). -- David Serrano [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Linux Registered User #87069 pgpYjagFEsHST.pgp Description: PGP signature
servicios en Debian

Apm o lo que sea
Buenas Parece que algo ha cambiado por que esto funcionaba perfectamente antes y ahora ha empezado a fallar, esto es lo que ocurre: Hace algún tiempo actualicé el kernel a 2.4.4 y mas o menos a la vez actualice los paquetes que tenía medio viejos, el caso es que antes esto funcionaba normal y despues me ha dado algun problema, cuando se apaga se queda con power off. o se reinicia en vez de apagarse dependiendo de las opciones que tenga en la configuración del kernel, si solo fuera eso me daría igual por que darle al botón no me cuesta nada, al fin y al cabo eso es una pijadilla, pero la cosa falla también por otro lado, cuando lleva un rato sin actividad se produce un fundido del monitor al negro y deja de responder totalmente, como si se quedara seco y le robaran la vida. Me pregunto si hay alguien más al que le pase lo mismo o algo parecido, para saber si es un problema genérico o solo mio. He estado probando con las opciones de apm en la bios y en el kernel, reinstalando el apmd, pero nada. Muchas gracias si alguien me ayuda, estoy un poco confundido, no se que es lo que falla esactamente ni por donde probar. Lo mismo nisiquiera es problema del apm.

Gdk-Imlib y autoconf
Hola Hace poco tiempo, compilaba programas con gdk-imlib añadiendo al configure.in una linea tal que AM_PATH_GDK_IMLIB(...). Con la versión 1.9.10-3 de Debian no sereconoce esta entrada. Creo que tampoco se podía con la versión 1.9.10 de ximian, que acabo de quitar. ¿Sabe alguien si este problema es de la librería, o de autoconf/automake/aclocal?

He mirado los ficheros Changelog para ver si se mencionaba algo sobre esto, pero no he encontrado nada. Muchas gracias

Upgrade para unstable.
Olá pessoal da lista!! Bom, não tenho nehum intuito de gerar flame wars, e também sei que todo e qualquer risco na atualização deve ser assumido pelo usuário que se aventurar a fazer o processo upgrade, porém tenho o intuito de, se possível, poder ajudar futuramente como mais um usuario a enviar bug report's. Queria uma ajuda dos usuários mais experientes que utilizam o unstable... Queria saber quais manuais, se é que isso existe, o usuario Debian deve ter um melhor conhecimento, que indiquem os arquivos de log, como funciona o lance do postinst, entre outros que possamos usar como referências, parar ter um maior domínio na solução das falhas que ocorrem quando da atualização para unstable, pois como sabemos sempre ocorrem erros...

Re: Compilacao de kernel
Tenho duas sugestões: 1. Tente pegar os fontes do kernel diretamente do kernel.org, não use os pacotes da debian... Não sei se há algum problema com eles ou não, os pacotes da RedHat constumam gerar erros desse tipo, por isso criei o hábito de ir direto à fonte... em todo caso, alguns colegas aqui da empresa que usam debian há mais tempo que eu, fazem a mesma coisa... Como será impossível (acho...) usar o make-kpkg, siga a sequência: baixe o pacote e descompacte-o make menuconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules (caso use modulos) make modules_install (idem) copie o kernel gerado para /boot, edite e rode o lilo 2. Verifique seu hardware. Muitas vezes a máquina que tem problemas pode aparentar funcionamento normal com as aplicações do dia a dia, mas quando é necessário rodar uma aplicação mais pesada, como a compilação do kernel, o problema se manifesta. Costumo usar a compilação do kernel do linux como teste em máquinas recém montadas ou que receberam manutenção. O tipo de mensagem de erro que vc está recebendo é o mesmo tipo que encontro quando tenho máquinas instáveis, com problemas na motherboard, memória ou processador... Como outro colega já sugeriu, se sua máquina estiver com overclock, configure-a para operação normal. Verifique se as opções de velocidade de memória da Bios estão de acordo com seu hardware, faça um teste carregando as opções default, ou fail safe, caso seu setup permita e então tente novamente compilar o kernel. Outro teste que costumo fazer em máq. recém montadas é a instalação do Windows NT server ou 2000 server. Como na compilação do kernel do Linux, sempre que há problemas, a máquina trava, ou são geradas mensagens de erro. Na dúvida se o seu problema é de hardware ou de software, vc poderia fazer o teste, instale o NT (num outro hd?); se conseguir concluir a instalação sem problemas o hardware está OK. Programas de teste, como pccheck, norton, troubleshooter, etc, nem sempre pegam esses erros, mesmo a instalação de outros sistemas como w95 ou 98 pode ocorrer normalmente. Assim eu vou pirar. De qualquer forma que eu tente nao da certo. Peguei o pacote kernel-source-2.2.17 de outro CD debian potato mas tive o mesmo problema (tambem tentei fazer as coisas dentrode um link simbolico de nome /usr/src/linux apontado para /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17), apos alguns minutos de compilacao atraves do make-kpkg, tenho a mensagem: make[1]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17' make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2 []'s Moreiras.

program response sluggish compared to Win98
Howdy all, I've had a problem for a while in which my potato sytem seems to perform relatively sluggishly - most noticably on Wordperfect. Example: While WP8 under W98, I can hold the page down key for 5 seconds, and when I let go, the scroll immediately stops. Doing the same under linux, however, would result in a minute-long scroll through several dozen pages after the key was let go. Is there a keyboard buffer that I can adjust or something, or does the problem lie elsewhere, or is linux WP8 just not as well-designed? Thanks in advance, Rico

Re: ripping quiet CDs
it sounds like you dont quite understand normalize I think what you say you dont want to do is compression. Not data compression, but audio compression. If you have ever listened to your favorite song on the radio, and you expect to hear a quite part and then a loud part, but the song mysteriously remains at a constant volume the entire time over the radio, then you are familiar with audio compression. normalizing, on the other hand, does not just amplify the quite parts to bring them to the same level as the loud parts. Rather, it amplifies everything by an equal amount. It takes the loudest part of the song and amplifies it as much as possible without clipping, and then amplifies the rest of the song by the same amount. in short, it sounds like normalization is exactly what you want. jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Ben Harvey [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Saturday, June 09, 2001 12:23 AM Subject: ripping quiet CDs Hello I just set up abcde/cdparanoia/lame to rip some CDs, the problem is that some of them turn out with very low volume. what can I do about this?

Strange drive issue when using Win98 and Debian
Hi there, I'm using Debian woody almost exclusively on my box, but I still have a Win98 Partition, primarly to read those wacky .doc files with crazy formatting that StarOffice just can't read right. The thing is, Windows used to access 3 drives when it was installed. C: which is /dev/hda1, which is a FAT32 drive, this actually the only FAT32 partition left at the moment D: which was /dev/hdb1, which is now exclusively used by Linux, formatted as ext2 and E: which was /dev/hda7, which is now also used exclusively under Linux, mounted as /home The problem is, when I boot Win98, it still shows me those two drives, despite that it obviously shouldn't be able to make sense of them, since they are ext2. The drives appear with strange labels like *[EMAIL PROTECTED], just random gibberish. When I choose it in Explorer, it just displays some strange and directories which ARE not there. My question: How do I tell Windows that it is no longer allowed to access or even see those drives?

Does anyone know if the fs in Grub allows the kernel to load his necessary fs as modules?

Or since the fs in Grub probably also needs the corresponding drivers for the drive (i.e. SCSI), does the kernel still need the same drivers built in? O. Wyss

What exactly is your setup and what are you trying to do? Concrete questions are often clearer than abstract ones, and thus eaiser to answer. Grub and the kernel are 2 separate things. Grub must have support for a particular filesystem in order for it to read the stage2, menu.lst and kernel from. Grub doesn't care what components the kernel has builtin or as modules. If the kernel is on a SCSI disk, then grub needs to be able to read the SCSI disk to load the kernel. I don't know if grub can do this now, or what the issues are because I have never had a SCSI disk. If you want your kernel to be able to read files from a SCSI disk, then it must have the necessary drivers available -- either comiled in or as modules on a disk that can be read without the module already loaded (you don't want a Catch 22 where you need the SCSI driver to read the disk inorder to load the SCSI driver in order to read ...). I'm sure it would be just fine if you put the kernel and its modules on an IDE disk and told grub to load the kernel from there and that the root partition is on the SCSI disk. Maybe someone else with more SCSI experience can provide better information, or maybe the grub docs will tell (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub). HTH, -D

And set your keyboard up so that the plastic bump labeled `backspace' generates the BackSpace keysym, and the plastic bump labeled `delete' generates the Delete keysym. Then, in XEmacs, backspace will delete the character just before point, and delete will delete the character just after point. Richard

But here are some questions: (1) How are patches handled that create new config options in the kernel config? When make-kpkg runs, kernel config usually is already finished - how am I supposed to activate the new options? (2) How can I choose which patches are to be applied? Are all patches applied without me having a chance to choose? (3) Can I see in the created .deb which patches have been applied? (4) Can patches be put elsewhere than in /usr/src/kernel-patches? (5) Where is the documentation about module-hooks mentioned in kernel-package(5)? Greetings Marc -- -- !!

Anyway, I got the idea to remove the menu's, toolbars, etc in icewm so you can't open any programs while logged in via xvncviewer. I did this my removing the menu package, and then going into /usr/lib/menu, default and /etc/menu and removing them. Then I went into /etc/X11/icewm and deleted the files menu, preferences, programs and toolbar. The idea was to make it harder for someone who has gotten into vnc, to get to a shell, although I'm sure there are lots of things an X expert could do, but at least someone would have to think a little before owning me. And this worked fine for quite a while. But one day (today infact) I was using the vnc session, and at some point noticed a way to right-click a bring up an xterm. When I did this, it killed icewm, and left me with just a xterm but no window manager, somekind of failsafe login, i think. So then I found the file, /etc/menu-methodes/icewm. It had several lines mentioning xterm, so I deleted the 3 lines: x11= prog \ $title \ ifempty($icon,-) ifnempty($icon,$icon) $command\n text= prog \ $title\ ifempty($icon,-) ifnempty($icon,$icon) xterm -T \ $title \ -e $command\n wm= restart \ $title\ ifempty($icon,-) ifnempty($icon,$icon) $command\n I restarted vnc, and got nothing but the xterm, and no window manager. I've --purged and reinstalled all of the packages, vnc, ice, xbase, xcommon, etc. All of the files I edited or deleted seem to be back the way they were before. However, when starting vnc, all I get is X(vnc), no window manager, no xterm, nothing. I set icewm and other xprogs to start in ~/.xsession and even in /etc/X11/xsession, and it has no effect. if I try to launch an app from a commandline (by just ssh'ing into the box, I get connection refused by server.

I'm trying to get the latest build of Mozilla (0.9.1) to run and I'm running into this error: #/usr/local/bin/mozilla0.9.1/mozilla# ./mozilla ./run-mozilla.sh ./mozilla-bin MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/local/bin/mozilla0.9.1/mozilla LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/bin/mozilla0.9.1/mozilla:/usr/local/bin/mozilla0.9.1/mozilla/plugins LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/bin/mozilla0.9.1/mozilla:/usr/local/bin/mozilla0.9.1/mozilla/components SHLIB_PATH=/usr/local/bin/mozilla0.9.1/mozilla LIBPATH=/usr/local/bin/mozilla0.9.1/mozilla ADDON_PATH=/usr/local/bin/mozilla0.9.1/mozilla MOZ_PROGRAM=./mozilla-bin MOZ_TOOLKIT= moz_debug=0 moz_debugger= ./mozilla-bin: error while loading shared libraries: cannot open shared object file: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory ./mozilla-bin IS present.

Window control not working (sawfish)
For at least the last few days, the little control in the upper left of my windows, the one that usually brings up a menu with choices like moving the window up, down, right, left... does nothing at all when I click on it. I am running sawfish and GNOME on basically a woody system. I haven't used Ximian in quite awhile, but retain their sawfish package: sawfish 0.36-helix3 sawfish-gnome0.36-helix3 xfree86-common 4.0.3-3 gnome-core 1.4.0.2-1 This is odd--it seems to be a sawfish problem, but sawfish hasn't changed.

problems with cin.getline scanf or others
hi, i'm trying 2 do some home work with linux and i can't because i need
to input a string with spaces and it doesn't work, here's a short thing
as an example:
#include iostream.h
int main ()
{
int i;
char words[30];
cin i;
cin.getline(words, sizeof(words));
cout words endl;
cout i;
}
the output of this would be after compilation:
$ ./test
343
343
so i am not able to input that text, on the other hand if i had:
#include iostream.h
int main ()
{
int i;
char words[30], awords[30];
cin i;
cin.getline(words, sizeof(words));
cin.getline(awords, sizeof(awords));
cout words endl;
cout awords endl;
}
i can do an input for both getlines and the output would be as expected.
I'dlike 2 add that the same happens with scanf or gets.
i'm running sid with a compiled 2.4.3 kernel

The first foo I install is 'dpkg' (fewer segfaults later on that way), then 'apt'. Upgrading these two packages will also force a 'libc6' upgrade. Then you want to make sure 'perl5.6' is installed.

After installing the base system and rebooting from the hard disk everything looks fine until inetd has started. Then I get the following lines: /bin/sh: /sbin/termwrap: cannot execute: no such file or directory /bin/sh: /sbin/termwrap no such file or directory repeated 10 times, then INIT: ld 1 respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes And after a while it does it again and again. I went through the installation again. And just in case there was a disk problem I repartionned and reformatted the hard disk. No problems there, but the same thing happened. tty2 and tty3 appear to be fully functional. Any clues would be appreciated. Best regards, Philippe Clérié ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

The relavent lines from /etc/inetd.conf are : talkdgram udp waitnobody.tty /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.talkd ntalk dgram udp waitnobody.tty /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.ntalkd So by looking at ktalkd documentation I tried changing this to : talk dgram udp waitroot/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/kotalkd ntalk dgram udp waitroot/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/ktalkd And it all worked. b thomas
Re: [OT] Minimum CPU speed for playing DIVX avis?
On Thu, 7 Jun 2001, Viktor Rosenfeld wrote: Hi folks, I got mplayer (http://mplayer.sourceforge.net) working very nicely, only that CPU utilization is constantly at 100% (~ 92% user, 8% system) and sound is very broken after 10 seconds playing. The video is fine though. I have a 333MHz Celeron with MMX, use X 3.3.6 from woody, and have a very shitty 4MB PCI graphic card. Don't worry about your processor, it's fast enough for an 810kbps DivX. Here's what you should do: * Upgrade to XFree 4 This is the most important item: get Xv support! * Check that your sound card is not causing you trouble. I have a P3-600 (with no Xv support unfortunately), but even when the CPU load is 20% the video is choppy. If I use the '-nosound' option the choppyness disappears. * If the above is not enough upgrade your graphics card. Choose a graphics card that hits it well in Xv mode with XFree, i.e. the graphics card can do YUV transformation and scaling and whatever else, and all this is supported by XFree. I have no idea which ones do. * Finally upgrade your processor if all else failed but you probably won't get to that unless you play videos with much higher bit rates. Here's some numbers to 'prove' my claims. A friend of mine introduced me to mplayer. Our test DivX is a 729kbps 592x288 24bpp 25.01 fps movie. On his box, a K6-2 233MHz with an ATI Rage, it plays in fullscreen (-fs) (1280x1024x24) with slightly less than 50% CPU utilization (35% mplayer, 10% XFree). Scaling had almost no effect on the CPU usage. On my PII 333MHz with a Permedia2 graphics card (1600x1200x16) and XFree 3.3.6 (no Xv) it would not play without skipping regularly. With XFree 4 in x11/shm mode it's better but CPU gives: 50% mplayer and 30% XFree. Now, with xv it's much better: 45-50% mplayer and 20% XFree. And with -xy 2 scaling it's just XFree that takes more CPU, about 35%. So eventhough I have a faster CPU I just cannot play movies like on his box. Probably it's possible to make up for the graphics card by going to a much faster processor but it does not seem like a good solution. (If you have an ATI card, look for project Gatos, I'm told they have XFree drivers for all ATI graphics cards) -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://fgouget.free.fr/ In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice they're different.
laptop hangs on Alt+Tab
I have a Toshiba Satellite 2595CDT and sometimes when I press Alt+Tab to switch between windows in KDE it hangs. The window list just stays there after I let go of Alt+Tab. Sometimes I'm lucky and I can still switch to the console and reboot safely, but most of those times all buttons and the mouse are frozen and I can only press reset. I don't have this problem on my 2 desktop machines which run the same version of KDE and KDM, and I had this problem on the laptop with previous versions of KDE too. So I don't think it's a KDE problem. Has anyone had the same problem or can anyone tell me where to search?

Re: Grub: Does it allow for modularized kernel fs
Otto Wyss wrote: Does anyone know if the fs in Grub allows the kernel to load his necessary fs as modules? I.e. if Grub contains a an ext2 fs, can the kernel load modules from this file system even if the ext2 fs isn't compiled into the kernel? Or since the fs in Grub probably also needs the corresponding drivers for the drive (i.e. SCSI), does the kernel still need the same drivers built in? Both the kernel and grub don't care about each other, in fact, both don't no a thing about the other end [1]. So, yes, you still need compiled-in kernel support for both the root fs and the disk type this fs is on. And, if you want to use other filesystems or disk types after booting the kernel, you either need kernel support compiled-in or as a module. Ciao, Viktor [1] This is not entirely true, since grub recognizes the Linux kernel as such and boots it in a proper fashion. -- Viktor Rosenfeld WWW: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/

Then Debian with KDE 2.0.1. Then upgraded to 2.1.1. All the same. The power saving is a good idea. IIRC I did not have this problem with KDE 2.0.1 before I installed Toshutils. But I always run it on full CPU speed. But sometimes I caught it switching the CPU speed to low, which is probably a bug in Toshutils. Maybe that leads to the solution. I'll keep an eye on it.
Re: Installation problems
I have done several Debian installations before and this is the first time I've seen this one. After installing the base system and rebooting from the hard disk everything looks fine until inetd has started. Then I get the following lines: /bin/sh: /sbin/termwrap: cannot execute: no such file or directory /bin/sh: /sbin/termwrap no such file or directory repeated 10 times, then INIT: ld 1 respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes And after a while it does it again and again. I went through the installation again. And just in case there was a disk problem I repartionned and reformatted the hard disk. No problems there, but the same thing happened. tty2 and tty3 appear to be fully functional. Any clues would be appreciated. Best regards, Philippe Clérié ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) According to packages.debian.org, testing and unstable have /usr/sbin/termwrap but not /sbin/termwrap. This, of course, doesn't explain why you didn't get the same problem before but it might give you a starting point. -- Shaul Karl [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hillel used to say: If I am not for myself who will be for me?

Re: Installation problems
I should have mentionned that I am doing this install from a CDROM set of Potato, r0. I have been using that CD set for several months now and this has never cropped up. Weird!! I can't find a termwrap on any of the systems I have access to right now (3) all with updated potato installation. A search on Debian.org reveals nothing of significance.
