Ayuda rápida con Apache

2001-07-27 Thread TooManySecrets
Buenas a todos/as.

Necesitaría que algún gurú de Apache me echara un cable rápidamente.
En resultans que tengo un peoSite donde debo poner un aliases. Hasta aquí 
todo bien (y algo que por aquí, quien más quien menos sabe hacer), pero 
resulta que lo que realmente tengo es un dueto fatal, formado por Apache + 
Tomcat.
Le estoy diciendo que cuando le digan www.los.com/en/Algo/digo/ se vaya a 
D:/Estoy/jarto/vino/ (si si... para colmo lo tengo bajo windoze... pero 
bueno).
La cuestión es que lo puedo poner de manera que poniendo www.los.com/en/ , y 
junto con la restricción que hay para que sólo se pueda ejecutar el fichero 
de índice, me lleva a la peich principal. Pero si quiero ponerlo lo de 
../en/Algo/digo/, me dice que a la mierda. Por no mencionar que cuando me 
carga la página poniendo sólo lo de ../en/, luego en los links (que están 
puestos para seguir path relativo), no me los sigue, y se continua cargando 
como si no estuviera el /en/ por enmedio.
Perdón por el pequeño lio, pero ya me tiene frito.
¿Algún alma caritativa que me quiera ayudar, por favor?

Gracias por todo.

Have a nice day  ;-)

 El Ximian GNOME que tienes que utilizar es el de potato, el de woody no

 Los que yo tengo bloqueados son todos los de *gnomeprint*.

Hola Carlos,

eso, eso es lo que quería saber precisamente. Ya había leído que el

Ups! reinstalar el /dev/ttyS0

2001-07-27 Thread Fermín Manzanedo
Holas,

pues nada, que como soy un enreda he borrado el /dev/ttyS0 y ahora no se como 
ponerlo de nuevo.
He usado la instrucción mknod /dev/ttyS0 c 62 78 , pero mucho me temo que los 
valores 62 78 no tienen nada que ver con /dev/ttyS0.

Si hago setserial -g /dev/ttyS0 me devuelve No such device

El puerto existe, y antes de borrar el /dev/ttyS0 aparecía cuando hacía 
setserial.

Gracias por adelantado

Lexmark Z11 so esta funcionando com catucho colorido

2001-07-27 Thread kleber . leal
Eu tenho uma impressora Lexmark Z11 funcionando perfeitamente no meu Debian
2.2r3 com cartucho colorido.
Na primeira instalacao (cartucho colorido) eu usei o driver cZ11 e o script
de configuracao install_filter. Tudo OK.

Agora quero mudar o meu cartucho para preto, minhas paginas sao impressas
com linhas repetidas, como se estivesse fora de foco.

Ja tentei instalar o install_filter_bw mas continuou.

Ela funciona como se estivesse utilizando o cartucho colorido, imprime tres
linhas como se estivesse compor o preto imprimindo com outras cores!

Sei que o problema e o filtro de instalacao mas quando rodo o script 
install_filter_bw
nao faz diferenca..



Ferramentas utilizadas para instalacao: magicfilter, driver cZ11, 
install_filter,

Re: configuracao gnome ok falta modem e som

2001-07-27 Thread Marcus Brito

consegui colocar para rodar gnome, tive que reconfigurar xf86config
colocando mouse 2 botoes


Tente configurar o GPM de uma das seguintes formas:

1) Se seu mouse for serial: gpm -t ms -3 -R
2) Se seu mouse for PS/2: gpm -t psaux -3 -R

No seu XF86Config, use o dispositivo /dev/gpmdata, e o tipo MouseSystems.

Explicacao: O que o opcao -R faz eh criar um repetidor de mouse, ou 
seja, o GPM repete a interface do mouse em outro dispositivo. Isto eh 
util justamente para o caso de servidores X que conflitam com o GPM. 
Usando a opcao -R, voce nao precisa parar o GPM antes de iniciar o X.



pergunto como faco para desativar  o gpm e inicializar o gnome
automaticamente e colocar o som (placa ) para funcionar..


Pra iniciar o gnome automaticamente instale o pacote gdm (apt-get 
install gdm)



nao consegui instalar meu modem pois no www.linmodem.org nao ah driver para
minha
placa que eh um tal de motorola HSP 56 speakfone tem soh para familia
Rwindow$,
para linux soh tem para HSP 56 fax/modem.


HSP nao eh nome de fabricante, e uma denominacao geral para modems que 
 nao fazem processamento de sinal (HSP = Host Signal Processing), ou 
seja, a maioria dos winmodems. Tente descobrir o faricante do seu modem. 
Se for PCTEL, ou algum derivado dele (Zoltrix, por exemplo), tem uma 
chance de que funcione.

nós tinhamos consciência de que havia muitos usuários Debian aqui que
ainda não tinham conhecimento do nosso projeto, temíamos que aparesse
duplicação de esforços também e um esforço único por um propósito
único daria mais certo para todos

por isso tivemos a idéia de publicar um documento falando do que já

então vamos ao trabalho que há muito ainda que deve ser feito para

Re: Configuração de Modem Motorola

2001-07-27 Thread Daniel Longhi

Existe um driver para GNU/Linux do Motorola SM56 HSP, ele esta
apenas no formato RPM 4 e soh roda em kernels 2.4.x
http://e-www.motorola.com/products/softmodem/support/sm56_5.1_i386.rpm
Voce devera converter o rpm para deb, ou extrair os binarios do rpm:
/usr/local/sm56/sm56.lib
/usr/sbin/sm56setup
/usr/share/man/man4/sm56.4

O binario 'sm56setup' instala e configura o modulo, criando o /dev/modem

Nao da pra converter esse rpm para deb no potato, pois a versao do
RPM do potato eh a 3. Ha imcompatibilidade entre o RPM_4 e o RPM_3.
A dist woody tem o RPM 4.

Antes de tentar instalar esse driver, leia as informacoes da URL:
http://e-www.motorola.com/products/softmodem/support/linux.htm

No site http://www.gazetadopinguim.hpg.com.br/ tem um howto em pt_BR
explicando a instalacao desse modem, mas o site esta em manutencao...
Eu tenho uma copia desse tutorial aqui em html, se vc quiser, te mando em pvt.

obs: Eu troquei meu Motorola HSP por um Lucent DSP, que é muito melhor...

Re: interface para dselect

2001-07-27 Thread João Alberto
O dselect é o front-end do dpkg! existe um tutorial sobre o dselect no
site do Debian-br (http://debian-br.sourceforge.net) na seção documentação.
Nesse local você ainda pode encontrar o guia prático escrito pelo KoV, que
te dará mais informações interessantes, como: descobrir exatamente o que
está instalado em seu computador, como compilar o kernel etc. Existe ainda
um tutorial sobre apt.
Há também uma interface gráfica para o dselect, que é o gapt do gnome,
contudo, se ele não tiver instalado, vc terá que instalá-lo pelos comandos
apt, dpkg ou pelo dselect :).

Abraço.

 I have found that the most useful thing in setting up ipchains or

 flow in the kernel code. Maybe that's not for everyone, and I'm more
 of a visual learner (or something). Anyway, for ipchains, it looks
 like this:

 Diagram snipped 

 It's a little burly for your purposes. All you're talking about is a
 packet filter, with no forwarding (and hence no masquerading, etc.) So
 let's take out what's unimportant and reduce it to this:

Yeah, I had read through the IPChains Howto, and I think I got some of
the fundamentals down. I tend to learn by example, so as a newbie, I
had some trouble applying what was going on with the real world
example given in the howto to my own needs.

 That's a bit more manageable, no? All you need to worry about are the
 input and output chains. I'm going to recommend a very simple ruleset
 for you; no need to mess around with all kinds of user-defined chains.
 You might want (after reading some more and getting the hang of what's
 going on here) to add some logging capabilities to the setup, but for
 now, let's just roll a simple script:

Ah, yes. That was one of the problems I had. The example revolved
around forwarding packets, which then quickly got out of hand for me
when trying to figure out what I needed to do. I think I understood
most of what was being discussed, and when I do get around to setting
up a gateway machine for my home network (coming soon), I'll draw from
it. I think I'll go back and re-read it and focus on what each was
trying to be accomplished.

 (I've been (happily) immersed in the iptables world and haven't used
 ipchains in a while (and don't have a machine to test it on, either),
 so if it has a couple of syntactical glitches in it, please bear with
 me.)

No problem, just a great big thank you for taking the time to
explain this to me and others.

What system are you using make-psuedo-package on?

If you have an rsync client available, you can cheat and go directly

partition table woes

2001-07-27 Thread dman

I screwed up my partition table today and, like an idiot, I don't have
a record of it.  Are there any tools I can use to determine where my
partitions were?  

I have a 10GB IDE disk, hda.  I had hda1 as /, hda2 as swap and hda3
as /home.  The space was approximately evenly divided between / and
/home and 256MB swap.  Obviously / starts at sector 1.  I determined,
through trial-and-error, that / ends not before sector 748, but fsck
doesn't complain if I make the partition too big.  I don't think I
have the size quite right because when I add 256MB to that and
allocate /home I get errors about an invalid superblock.  I can run
debugfs on / and see all the data in that superblock.  There must be
some way (even looking at the raw bits on the disk) to determine where
the partitions started prior to my screw up.  It is (was) a woody
system and I have potato CDs (ie rescue disk).

Thanks for any pointers and suggestions.

 Now my question is what would I have to do to set these up so I can access 
 one from the other?  I can now access the WinBlows from Mandrake, have NOT 
 set things so I can do that from Deb just yet.  The other is how can I get 
 both of them to acknowledge my USR MDM, neither one will recognize it and 
 MD never has even from my first install?  I know there are HOWTO's and many 
 other MAN pages and various other thingys, I spend most of a day just 
 attempting to keep up with these messages.  THE END.  This has gone on far 
 enough, I am going to give you the chance to do what most people DREAM of 
 being able to do, TELL ME WHERE TO GO to reach my END.

I can't help with your modem, but for accessing your other partitions 
I think what you might want to look at is the mount command and also
the /etc/fstab file. The mount command is use for er, mounting
partitions. The /etc/fstab file makes mounting filesystems much
easier.

check out the man page for mount.

You might want to post some more info about how you have your Linux
installations set up. One way to do this is to run the df command
whick will give you output like this:

mwagnon @ mordor:~/files/latex $ df
Filesystem   1k-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1   198313 27166160893  14% /
/dev/hda5  1007960 53996902760   6% /var
/dev/hda6   495876   919469356   0% /tmp

/dev/hda4  4911728249828   4412396   5% /home

Try not to laugh too much at my partition scheme, I was just messing
around and not too sure how to allocate all the space on this monster
sized drive 8^)

I don't think you're going to be able to get away from reading. I
sounds like you already have an intro book, but Running Linux
published by O'Reilly is a good book for getting a handle on the
basics. You might take a look at local community colleges in your
area. I took a UNIX class that was taught using Red Hat. It was a good
intro to some of the basics and let me see what some of Linux's
capabilities are. You might also look for any Linux User's Groups in
your area. Check out http://noframes.linuxjournal.com:8080/glue/ for
starters.

other I have set to 7 partitions, three for Debian v2.1 and three for 
Mandrake v7.0, there are 6 of them the other is just FREE SPACE.  Hope 
to be able to access that from which ever one needs added space.


Now my question is what would I have to do to set these up so I can 
access one from the other?  I can now access the WinBlows from 
Mandrake, have NOT set things so I can do that from Deb just yet.


As root, mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/Win98 (see man mount for more info). 
This assumes Win98 is on the first partition of the first IDE drive 
(hda1), and that you have a directory named /mnt/Win98. Since Mandrake 
is already configured to see the Windows partition, you can boot into 
Mandrake and have a look-see in /etc/fstab; this will have a line 
something like:


/dev/hda1   /Win98  vfatdefaults0   0

So in this case, once in Debian, you'd type mount /dev/hda1 /Win98 
(you might need to specify the filesystem type, which in the above case 
is VFAT (FAT16/32)), so the command'd be mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /Win98.


You can automate this by duplicating the line in /etc/fstab on the 
Debian side. Then on the next reboot into Debian the Windows partition 
will automatically be mounted on the /Win98 directory (make sure you 
create this directory first if it doesn't exist). Or, without a reboot, 
you can manually type the mount command, or since it's now in 
/etc/fstab, you can shorten the command to mount /Win98, and the 
mount command will figure out the rest from the definition in fstab. The 
command mount by itself will show you what's mounted, and mount -a 
will attempt to mount everything defined in fstab.


If you want to share files between Mandrake and Debian, pick a partition 
to share (such as /dev/hda5), and make sure each distro mounts that 
partition. For example, if /dev/hda3 is your /home directory in 
Mandrake, and /dev/hda5 is your /home in Debian, you can use just one, 
say /dev/hda3, as your /home in both distros. Just change /etc/fstab 
on the Debian side to mount /home on 3 instead of on 5. (CAVEAT: I 
vaguely remember that there may be some sort of issue with this type of 
sharing, but I can't recall what it might be; other list members can 
perhaps confirm or deny this vague recollection.)


  The other is how can I get both of them to acknowledge my USR MDM, 
neither one will recognize it and MD never has even from my first install?


Of course the first question is Is it a win-modem? (Most internal PCI 
modems are.) If it is, you might find it easier (and perhaps the only 
route) to replace it with a non-win-modem. Externals are almost always 
okay (what about external USB modems? anyone know if they are real for 
sure?).


If it's not a win-modem, you can use the program minicom to do some 
testing (try different serial ports, try ATZ and other commands for an 
OK response, try dialing out); you can't do ppp stuff with it (like 
using a web browser), but it can give you some valuable info.


Also, if it's working in Windows, look at the properties there to see 
what serial port, IRQ, etc, that it's using, That can be good info.


  I know there are HOWTO's and many other MAN pages and various other 
thingys, I spend most of a day just attempting to keep up with these 
messages.  THE END.  This has gone on far enough, I am going to give 
you the chance to do what most people DREAM of being able to do, TELL 
ME WHERE TO GO to reach my END.

Your absolute best route? Repeated installs of various distros on 
differing types of hardware. Start with Debian, because this

Hi-
Don't even waste your time with pspp. It has been stopped a long time 
ago, and it was pretty much alpha anyways.
R is a very powerfull statistics package. You will be able to import 
your data from SAS, nothing will be lost.
R is *the* prefered statistical software by staticians doing research.R 
implements the S language. Therefore, it is a language and environment 
for statistical computing. This, of course, implies a learning curve, 
because implies learning to program in R. This, however, gives you more 
flexibility and power.
I used SPSS my self, but I decided that R had everything I needed, so I 
gave up on SPSS altogether, and I don't regret it.I'm trying to 
evangelize a few people about R. I can also interact with people using 
other software packages, so their choice doesn't affect me.
R has very powerful graphics capabilities, *way* better than anything 
I've used (I haven't used SAS, though).
R is available as a Debian package, but you will have to edit your 
sources files (instructions on the URL Jens gave you). Updating R is, of 
course, no sweat in a Debian system.
The R software is developped by a very serious team of programmers, 
mostly staticians. One of the main developers holds a Chair of 
Statistics in Oxford.
Don't forget to get the documentation and sign up to the R mailing list, 
where you can ask questions (after you read the documentation, :-) )

Chronically broken package - bugs? In tetex-bin AND apt-get?

2001-07-27 Thread Henry Lebowzki

Hello-
I'm sorry if I sound hysterical, but I have reasons for concern. In 
fact, I'm truly desperate: it has been over a three months that I try to 
tackle this problem whenever I have some time.
I was never able to use TeX on my potato, because the package somehow 
got broken. And I mean *badly* broken. In dselect, it appear as *RI, 
which means that I should reinstall it.


But **nothing works**

Purging tetex-bin (and all it's dependencies, of course) results in 
nothing...
apt-get remove tetex-bin - tells me that the package is in a very 
inconsistent state and you should consider reinstalling it before removing.

But...
apt-get install reinstall tetex-bin - no good
and
apt-get -f install tetex-bin tetex-doc tetex-lib tetex-base
abd then apt-get -f install

You get the same error, below

 I screwed up my partition table today and, like an idiot, I don't have

No specific tools I'm aware of.  I keep a hardcopy printout of my
partition tables and mount schemes, backed up by my paritioning HOWTO
(doing double-duty as another backup of my partition tables).

 I have a 10GB IDE disk, hda.  I had hda1 as /, hda2 as swap and hda3
 as /home.  The space was approximately evenly divided between / and
 /home and 256MB swap.  Obviously / starts at sector 1.  I determined,
 through trial-and-error, that / ends not before sector 748, but fsck
 doesn't complain if I make the partition too big.  I don't think I
 have the size quite right because when I add 256MB to that and
 allocate /home I get errors about an invalid superblock.  I can run
 debugfs on / and see all the data in that superblock.  There must be
 some way (even looking at the raw bits on the disk) to determine where
 the partitions started prior to my screw up.  It is (was) a woody
 system and I have potato CDs (ie rescue disk).

I think the following may work.  I've managed to recover a partition
table from memory before.

If you know how you sized your partitions, you can try plugging in the
appropriate values, and saving the table.  Since the partition table
doesn't actually modify disk data, this won't scramble your data.  I'd
restrict my mounts to read-only -- if you size things right, your
filesystems should match up, if you don't, they should break.  That's
the theory.

It's a bit seat-of-your-pants, and it's a last-ditch suggestion, and
it's crazy, but it might just work

 Thanks for any pointers and suggestions.

sid - locales and glibc

Hi list

I just ran apt-get update  apt-get upgrade, just to see that locales
are going to be removed. Why? because it depends on glibc, and glibc is
not available. Hmm, I always thought that glibc is a rather important
lib, on ehich most c-programs are based. So, what is wrong? Is glibc not
needed any more? And if yes, I won't be able to use locales any more,

I suggest you place locales and libc6 on hold for a few days. My guess

now libc6 has been updated, and locales has been updated _again_, so
they're still out of sync. With any luck, this will all get straightened

Normally there is a file in /boot/ which has the name config-kernel version
and contains the kernel config parameters, if you use a precompiled kernel.

 Hi-

...

 R is a very powerfull statistics package. You will be able to import 
 your data from SAS, nothing will be lost.

 R is *the* prefered statistical software by staticians doing research.R 
 implements the S language. Therefore, it is a language and environment 
 for statistical computing. This, of course, implies a learning curve, 
 because implies learning to program in R. This, however, gives you more 
 flexibility and power.

Bingos on this.  I'm a long-time SAS user myself, if you're looking for
raw stats power (think SAS/STAT, SAS/GRAPH, and SAS/IML), R is the
answer.  It's far more powerful and flexible to boot, though it's also a
tad arcane.  There's good documentation, both specific to R and for
S/S-Plus, on which it's based.

I'm one of the instigators behind a project to provide a vaguely
SAS-like capability.  It's likely to be based around Python, R, and one
or more database systems (mysql, postgres, berkleydb,...).  Point being
largely that there are scripting languages which can add the
capabilities provided by the SAS data step, for use in reporting vs.
just doing raw stats.  Ping me offline if you're interested in more
data.

Re: dselect forcing recommends?

 So, I'm in dselect, and it says that icewm-common recommends icepref.
 Unfortunately, it's not just a recommendation, because it won't resolve the
 conflict without it selected for install. 

You can tell dselect not to bother with the recommeded packages, by
pressing 'D' and then 'Q' in the dependency resolution screen.

'D' sets the package selections back to your direct selections.  
'Q' commits the current selections without further depends checking.

'X' exits, disregarding any changes in selections.  If you are confused
at any place in dselect, you can always keep hitting 'X' until you are
back at the main menu, and no changes will have been made effectively.

'Enter' will do what 'Q' does, but first it checks the dependencies
and if there are any unresolved ones found, you are prompted with a new
dependency resolution screen.

This is also explained more clearly in the help screen that always pops 
up before the dependency resolution screen and that you can get back to
at any moment by pressing the '?' and 'i' keys.

 Is this a dselect bug?

In the sense that you are asking, no.  You just need to press 'Q', not
'Enter'.  It is a feature.  

In another sense, it is clumsy at least that this has to be done every
time when there is an unresolved recommends: in the active package
selections.  There are some patches for this, but I don't believe they
are in a dselect near you just yet (maybe soon in unstable).

 woops, I did say Testing.. My bad I do know the diff :-(
  Dude
  
2nd time you recommended debfoster.  You must be using 'testing' as
I can't find it on my slink, potato or woody boxes.  He did say he
was running woody.
 
 erm, woody == testing
 
 also, debfoster is in testing (and unstable).
 

That is the 2nd package that I checked for that 'wasn't' on testing
when I posted.  I had just done an update that AM too.  The other was
the x86info. I checked for that and also thought it was in 'sid'.
Others are reporting it is in 'testing'.  As of my update this morning
it still isn't?

I must be using the wrong sites!
ftp1.us.debian
http.us.debian.org
non-us.debian.org

They were very flaky last night so I tried to find the Mirror list at
Debian.org.  That wasn't much better so I quit trying at midnight.
I'll look for better ones today.

 I selected some a package with dselect and then it automatically selected

 has been deselected.

Oops, you should have pressed 'R' or 'X' instead of 'Enter'.  Now you've
committed all the selections you made with dselect's interactive package
selections management screen.

 Is there a file somewhere that I can purge that has all the pending for
 install packages so I can just wipe it out and start fresh again?

How about marking the relevant packages for removal or purge in the
dselect package selections list?  It sounds intuitive enough to me that
if you can select packages in dselect, then you can also unselect them.
Admittedly, you'll have to look them up in the list, but that is not
so hard, and you can play with the 'o' and 'O' keys for sort options if
you like.  And if you press '?', there is help at any time.

When you are finished altering the selections, simply run install.

Generally, walking the installed packages list in dselect once in a
while and removing packages you don't see a need for, is a good thing.
If you happen to try to remove something unexpectedly important, and a
large list of packages is marked for subsequent removal in the dependency
resolution screen, you can simply undo the removal request and all of
the consequences, by pressing 'R' and 'Enter' (or 'Q' or 'X').  Try it.
This way, you quickly get to know what packages are on your system for
what reason.

Cheers,


Joost



Re: balsa: orphaned?

2001-07-27 Thread Hall Stevenson
 Yes balsa is a great program and should not be
 orphaned and if nobody is interesting in packaging
 it, I would certainly ITP it soon.

Certainly doesn't look like it's been abandoned. This page,
http://www.balsa.net/main.html, shows an update on the 13th of
this month. It reads:

2001-07-13 - development balsa 1.1.7 released. This is most
likely last 1.1.x development release, we intend to start soon
preparation for 1.2.0 release. Several improvements in IMAP
folder handling has been done, new command line options have
been added and other UI improvements have been implemented.
