Quizas no tengas que compilar el kernel. Intenta con 'modconf'. Tampoco debés pensar en la compilación del kernel como algo complicado. Esta operación considerada como algo reservada para especvialistas en otros sistemas no lo es en e caso de Linux. En Linux es algo relativamente sencillo. No digo que no se pueda meter la pata pero no es tan complicado y generalmente la eliminación de componentes innecesarios en el núcleo permite obtener un kernel más reducido y por ello más eficiente. Tres consejos. 1) Deja el kernel viejo con almenos una entrada en LILO para arrancar en caso de que el nuevo falle. 2) No pongas como módulo ningún componente que resulte necesario antes de que el sistema arranque y monte la partición raiz. Resultaría imposible cargarlo. 3) Lee un poquito sobre el tema antes de hacerlo. Nunca viene mal. ?¿sabeis de otra solución?... -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null Un saludo Antonio Castro +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ /\ /\ Ciberdroide Informática (Tienda de Linux) \\W// http://www.ciberdroide.com _|0 0|_ +-oOOO--(___o___)--OOOo+ | . . . .

EL gdm no carga
Saludos [EMAIL PROTECTED] De repente en el portátil se ha puesto las X en huelga, o algo así. Los síntomas son que las X no arrancan porque hay un directorio en /tmp con suspicious ownership que hace que las X aborten. El error es el siguiente: # startx X: /tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious ownership, aboting. ^C -- lo corto porque se queda abortando y no termina. xinit: unexpected signal 2 Lo que me encuentro en /tmp es lo siguiente # ls -la /tmp total 20 drwxrwxrwx5 rootroot 4096 Jun 10 15:44 . drwxr-xr-x 23 rootroot 4096 Mar 26 18:51 .. drwxrwxrwt2 rootgdm 4096 Jun 10 15:44 .X11-unix drwxrwxrwt2 rootroot 4096 Jun 10 15:44 .font-unix drwxr-xr-x2 nobody audio 4096 Jun 10 15:44 .rplay-cache El problema se arregla momentáneamente con (1) # rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix ó bien (2) # chgrp root /tmp/.X11-unix después de lo cual las X van sin problemas, por lo que parece que el problema es eso de que el directorio /tmp/.X11-unix pertenezca al grupo gdm. El programa gdm lo ejecuta root en mi potato. ¿Alguien sabe cómo evitar ese conflicto? He probado con poner alguno de los comando anteriores (1) o (2) en los scripts /etc/init.d/gdm y /etc/init.d/xfs pero no hay manera, siempre aparece ese directorio con permisos molestos y no arrancan X.

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 Vou tentar. Depois falo no que deu. 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. Isso eh na BIOS ? Esta como overlock yes/no mesmo ou de alguma outra forma ? (minha BIOS eh SIS 471) 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. Em que opcao exata da BIOS esta isso ? Para um 586 100Mghz 16Mb qual eh a velocidae ideal ? 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.

The out of the box tree supports the Alpha, PPC, Sparc and X86 platforms. MIPS is mostly merged but you should obtain the platform specific tree. ARM, M680x0 and S/390 users should get their platform specific tree. Compilers This code is intended to build with gcc 2.7.2 and egcs 1.1.2. Patches for building with gcc 2.95 are merged but less tested than other compilers. Caution is recommended when using gcc 2.95 and feedback is sought.

Re: Compilacao de kernel
Muito obrigado a todos os que me ajudaram. Consegui compilar o kernel 2.0.38 (pelo kernel-package). Durante a compilacao, vi que era usado o gcc272 e nao o gcc. Mas o kernel 2.2.17 eu ainda nao consegui. No meu caso, com um computador museu (586 de 100Mhz, com 16Mb de RAM e HD de 540Mg ), eh muito mais facil _instalar_ um kernel antigo. Comecando pelo tamanho do fonte (~6 Mg do 2.0, contra ~20 do 2.4) e considerando o tempo de instalacao do pacote kernel-source, tempo de compilacao em si e espaco tomado no HD (pelos arquivos para compilacao). Ok, eh mais facil instalar um kernel antigo, mas e o uso posterior do sistema ? Sairei perdendo no que se eu escolher uma versao antiga de kernel para rodar em minha maquina ? Mais uma coisa. Agora que fiz a minha primeira compilacao (meio corrida e com pouco criterio para escolher os componentes do kernel), gostaria de me aprofundar no conhecimento das opcoes durante a construcao do .config. Onde encontro descricoes detalhadas sobre isso, e como saberei se minha maquina tem ou nao tal hardware ou opcao que sao oferecidos ? Tom

Acentuando no X, com os loc ales novos... (problema e meia solução)
Aí gente :-) Eu tava incomodadíssimo que, com as libcs mais recentes, não conseguia mais acentuar no Mozilla e em alguns outros programas, e ainda conseguia na maioria. Alguns programas, como o sawfish e o gnome-panel, têm problemas até em *exibir* strings acentuadas. Como vcs sabem (por vcs, significando os que já fizeram esse upgrade), agora os nomes dos locales incluem o encoding (por exemplo, pt_BR.ISO-8859-1). O X (mais exatamente, o pacote xlibs) não lida com isso com 100% de compatibilidade ainda. Observando mensagens de erro (tail -f ~/.gnome-errors), concluí que isso se deve a locales que são suportados pela libc mas não pela xlib ou vice-versa. Claro, eu poderia exportar LANG=C, mas aí não iria digitar acento nenhum, pq o X4 usa o locale para determinar a tabela correta de Compose. Bom, o que eu descobri foi que se eu editar o /etc/locale.gen e *criar* (pq não existe a opção) um locale pt_BR.UTF-8, e exportar isso como meu locale, o mozilla funciona bem mais feliz. O sawfish tb voltou à carga, mas o gnome-panel ainda omite silenciosamente strings acentuadas. Enfim... é uma solução parcial, que achei por bem compartilhar com a lista :-) []s, |alo + -- Esvazie sua mente, pequeno gafanhoto. Nós temos muito o que aprender... mas primeiro...

XFree 4, potato and Ximian-gnome
Hello again.. After two weeks of trying to upgrade from X 3.3 to X 4.x I've finally reached my patience limit. Despite a fair bit of help and advice from a number of list members (thanks everyone!) I've been unable to successfully achieve my goal. I figure one last shot and then I'll move to woody, or.. well I'm not sure what. ;-) 1. Has anyone on this list succesfully upgraded a potato box which is running Ximian gnome to X 4.x? 2. If after I complete all the steps that have been outlined time and time again but am still missing the actual XFree86 file (to which those symlinks eventually lead), what does that suggest? Marc.

Logcheck and Postfix
In Debian 2.2, logcheck is configured out of the box to mail reports to root every hour. I'm using Postfix for my MTA. Here's what's happening: logcheck mails its report to root, which is translated into [EMAIL PROTECTED] On my local lan, the domain is mars.lan, but I get my email from my ISP at quillandmouse.com. So the root address is being rewritten as [EMAIL PROTECTED] So what happens is that Postfix sends this out to my ISP. On my domain at my ISP, any mail not to a known addressee at quillandmouse.com gets forwarded to me. So I get all these hourly messages when I fetch mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't mind getting the messages, but they're going all the way to my ISP and then back down, when they should really just be locally mailed to me. But here's what makes it worse: My ISP won't accept any mail from anyone at mars.lan. It insists mail going to it has the quillandmouse.com domain on it. So I've had to make nearly everything in postfix so that it has quillandmouse.com on the end of it. I'm just not sure what to change so that mail for local delivery (like from root) gets delivered _locally_. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Paul

Well... yes and no... You can't run it natively in WinME. No way no how. You could install a copy of linux on your hard drive though, and dual boot to it. Alternatively, you can install one of those weird linux versions that runs within windows (look at the distributions section of www.linux.org to find one) but I can't vouch for any of these personally, never having run one. If you do need a free spreadsheet program, staroffice does have a native windows version, and it's got a lot of features.

GNU emacs has the wrong key settings in X
I have been puzzling for some time why backspace and delete worked fine everywhere except when using emacs under X. In this instance, both keys deleted backwards (ie did what the backspace key should). The weird thing that I could not initally figure out is that whenever emacs runs in character mode (for instance running it across an ssh link to another machine) everything worked perfectly. However reading the debian policy on this subject I did begin to understand given different approaches to mapping these keys. However, despite looking, I couldn't find where in the startup sequence the debian package set the key mappings. In the end I put the following line in my $HOME/.emacs file (global-set-key [delete] 'delete-char) And all works perfectly However I would have thought that this is something the debian package should do automatically in its startup scripts that are in /usr/lib/emacs/... Am I missing something here? PS - Xemacs ( a different package altogther - I know) works fine. -- Alan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.chandler.u-net.com or http://www.chandler.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk

Running non-KDE apps in the KDE environment almost makes you feel you are doing something wrong! I also don't like the look that qt (the library on which KDE is based) gives to windows. Gnome seems to me to be less pervasive - OK, there are plenty of Gnome apps around but they look good - less plastic and more functional, more like other non-gnome apps. A Gnome environment looks good with Gnome and non-Gnome apps. Gnome is based on GTK libraries and there are plenty of other GTK Linux apps around which have nothing to do with Gnome.

Very occassional lockups of X
I am running what is essentially a debian woody system (with KDE from CVS on top). This means XFree 4.0.3 Every so often (maybe once every two weeks) the user interface locks solid. The cursor disappears and no screen updates occur. I can still ssh into the machine from elsewhere, and can see that most of it is running perfectly.

I don't use a display manager like xdm or gdm or whatever. this is what my .xinitrc looks like: galeon -s xsetroot -solid black exec sawfish panel This is what .xsession looks like #!/bin/sh xsetroot -solid slategrey xrdb -load $HOME/.Xdefaults exec /usr/bin/gnome-session Could anybody solve this puzzle for me?

Abiword and truetype fonts solution.
I posted a question about this earlier and I have a working solution. How to get truetype fonts working under Abiword? - Copy the truetype fonts you want to use to the directory /usr/share/abisuite/fonts - Make backups of the files fonts.dir and fonts.scale - Run ttmkfdir (get a deb for woody from http://hell.hell.pl/baran/tek/linux/debian/ttmkfdir/ as it is not in unstable), this will create a new fonts.dir file with the truetype fonts descriptions - Open the new fonts.dir file with a text editor and also open the backup of fonts.dir - Copy the contents from the backup fonts.dir and paste it above the entries of the new fonts.dir file - Both the backup fonts.dir as well as the new fonts.dir have the number of fonts in them on the first line. Count them up and put them in the first line of the new fonts.dir - Save fonts.dir, fire up Abiword and enjoy truetype fonts. P.S. 1) I haven't tried printing yet. My concern was mainly the dismal display fonts. P.S. 2) Fonts that came with Abiword, like Time, Arial and Courier are replaced with the truetype font, although the Abiword fonts are still there. It works for me, even though there will be certain issues, like duplication of ttfonts on the system. Comments appreciated, especially if there are better ways to do it.

Ah yes - the magical incantation require to adjust the rc.d scripts is update-rc.d which will strip out the commands to start your display manager. update-rc.d -f gdm remove Read man update-rc.d before you try it though! Note that if you use this method, the startup links will be reinstalled the next time you upgrade gdm. What you need to do is remove the S links but leave the K links. One way to do that (as root) is this: find /etc/rc?.d -name S\*gdm | xargs rm Ideally, update-rc.d would have a disable option that performed this step, and there is a bug opened on this.

Re: XFree 4, potato and Ximian-gnome
I'm currently running potato with the unofficial Xfree 4.03 debs available from cpbotha. I'm running Ximian GNOME 1.4. It's the most stable and usable setup I've had so far.

Slow and ugly X startup with NVidia drivers
Hello friends, This is already bothering me for a while, but I never really cared. But now I just want it fixed. The problem: I use X 4.0.3 as in testing, and the Nvidia kernel and GLX drivers, I'm _not_ using the newest ones, because I heard that there are problems with them. When I start X with startx, it takes rather long until the screen is filled with something useful. It flickers a couple of times, there is a green horizontal line at the top of the screen, then, as soon as I move the mouse around, or just after having waited 5 seconds or so, the windowmanager and the GNOME panel appear. I remember when I was using a PII-400 with the same graphics card (Nvidia Geforce DDR) but not with the nvidia drivers, this problem did not occur, and X started alot faster. so I guess it has something to do with those nvidia drivers. Could it be some configuration issue I missed? Has anybody seen this on his/her machine? I'm using nvidias AGP implementation, not the kernel one (agpgart).

Re: the .xinitrc and .xsession puzzle

Re: HELP - wmakerconf blew my menus away!!!!
On Thu, Jun 07, 2001 at 11:10:40AM -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know that this must be a common problem, but the archives for the mailing list are unavalable. I ran wmakerconf as a normal user to change some of the look and feel of windowmaker. However, when wmakerconf started up, told me that it needed to update the menus. I told it to keep the current menus,and now all my menus are gone!!! I don't have anything under the application menu. How do I get my menu's back? This has become a real pain not having any. Before doing the Debian-to-WindowMaker menu conversion, you need to edit ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu to contain the full path to menu.hook (/etc/X11/WindowMaker/menu.hook). WindowMaker itself is smart enough to look around in several places (complete list in the man page), but wmakerconf isn't. If you don't want to convert your menus, just click over to another tab without answering wmakerconf's question. You can restore the default debian menus by editing ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu to contain /etc/X11/WindowMaker/menu.hook and nothing else. (Just menu.hook works too, but may cause you to have this same problem again.) If you do convert them, you gain the ability to edit the menus on a per-user basis and use some wmaker enhancements, such as assigning a hotkey to any menu item. The downside is that newly-installed packages will no longer be automagically added to the menus. (Although I consider that an advantage also, as the default behaviour is, IMO, far too inclusive. I prefer to have only the things I use on my menus. YMMV.) -- That's not gibberish...

Well, it may not be set up to do filtering, but abcde is a shell script. It should be possible to hack a filter in.

libc6=2.1.97
I'm trying to install a .deb package which depends on libc6=2.1.97 and have been unable to locate it. I run Potato and only have v.2.1.3-13 of libc6. Anyone know where it can be found and also if it will cause problems with 2.2.r2? Thanks, John.
