 Voilà, j'ai le locale [EMAIL PROTECTED] bien défini, j'arrive à taper ¢ et ¤
 dans mon mailer (Evolution) mais pas dans une xterm, ni dans kterm. 
 Dans kterm et xterm ma police est bien iso8859-15 car le euro-test
 m'affiche bien l'euro, mais je n'arrive pas à le taper, cela me donne un
 point d'interrogation.
 Par contre le cent marche bien (altgr+c). de plus si je tape altgr+e
 dans xev, je vois bien le symbole euro qui s'affiche avec EuroSign.
 J'ai essayé de remplacer par currency, mais ca ne marche pas mieux
 (encore moins bien avec xev qui ne m'affiche plus rien).

Remplacer « EuroSign » par « currency » ne marche pas dans les version
actuelles de X11. Les X11 récents n'acceptent le symbole « EuroSign »
que si le jeu de caractère utilisé pour l'affichage comporte ce
caractère, ce qui est le cas de ISO-8859-15. De même « currency » ne
pourra pas être affiché avec une police déclarée comme police
ISO-8859-15, qui ne comporte pas ce caractère.

Si xev indique « EuroSign » pour AltGr+e, c'est à priori que le clavier
est bien paramétré. Ce qui laisserait penser qu'il s'agit juste d'un 
problème d'affichage.

Il est possible que xterm utilise pour l'affichage une police 
ISO-8859-15 incorrectement déclarée comme police ISO-8859-1.

Autrement dit, le codage indiquée pour cette police dans X11 est 
ISO-8859-1, mais les caractères de cette police correspondent à 
ISO-8859-15.

Dans un tel cas, utiliser AltGr+e sur le clavier enverra le symbole
« EuroSign » à xterm, qui ne l'affichera pas, car il ne peut afficher
un caractère non présent dans la police en cours.

Le programme « euro-test » par contre utilise directement le code 
numérique du caractère. Si la police est déclarée comme ISO-8859-1,
ce code sera traduit en symbole « currency », et affichera le caractère 
correspondant du je de caractères utilisé.

Si tel est le cas, il suffit de paramétrer explicitement xterm pour
utiliser une police ISO-8859-15 (cf. le debian-euro-support HOWTO,
présent dans /usr/share/doc/euro-support).

Re: some questions

2000-08-08 Thread Jean-Philippe Guérard
Le 2000-08-02 11:28:52 +0300, Tzafrir Cohen écrivait :
 1. When using a network adapter whose driver is compiled as a module -
 where does this module get loaded?
 I currently added a simple modprobe line to /etc/init.d/networking , but
 there has to be a better way. On RedHat loading this module is done by the
 ifup script.

During the boot sequence, they are loaded by /etc/init.d/modutils, which is
started during the single user mode.

To configure this, use modconf.

From modconf, load your module with the correct parameters (if any).
Modconf will save the modules parameters, and ensure it is loaded
every time your systems is started.

(To be precise, the module name will be added to /etc/modules,
 the parameters will be saved to /etc/modutils/module-name,
 and update-modules will be used to rebuild the /etc/modules.conf
 file).

 4. manipulating rc?.d
 On RedHat there's a simple program called chkconfig for simple
 manipulations of the symlinks in the rc?.d directories. It gets its
 default values from some lines in the init.d scrip itself and has --add
 and --remove . The update-rc.d seems to be only useful for package
 installation and package removal.
 I can always change those symlinks manually, but this can be a bit
 erro-prone.

You can use the file-rc package . It will replace the multiple rc?.d
directories and symlinks by a single file you can edit with a text
editor ( /etc/runlevel.conf ).

 5. Single-user mode loads a whole bunch of stuff that are not really
 needed.
 What is the recomended way to load failsafe defaults? Using a floppy?

Maybe you need to remove some packages you do not use ? Looking at what
is launched in single user mode here, I do not really see a lot of unwanted
stuff.

Hope it helps.

General purpose documents are supposed to be located in

What happened exactly ? Do you get an error message when launching startx ?
Have you installed the relevant X server (xserver-svga) ?
Did you try anXious to configure X ?

 Now coming to my real question: how interchangeble are the installations
 done via dpkg/dselect and 'normal' installations via tarballs? I would like
 to keep dependency information and such, and an updated list of installed
 software for dselect.

The installation via a tarball will lose all dependency information. This
software will be completely ignored by dpkg/dselect, and might get overwritten
at some points.

To use non-debian packages, you might want to look at alien to convert RPM
or other packages format to DEB. It will enable you to still manage the package
using dselect. But X 4.01 might be too complex to convert that way. And it will
probably also forget dependency information.

 Since a few days something is sending out IGMP packages to 224.0.0.1

 private range of multicast addresses[1] (IIRC) so something must be
 incorrectly configured. Second, I can't find the program responsible
 for sending these packages.
 
 BTW: IGMP is Internet Group Management Protocol according to
 /etc/protocols.
 
 
 [1] Weird thing is, the 224.0.0.1 address resolves to
 ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET according to nslookup. Is that really correct?

As far as I know, there is nothing wrong. Your kernel must have
been compiled with multicast support, and it is trying to subscribe
to the general multicast group.

I believe the multicast RFC(s) mandates this. Win9x clients do this
also.

To get rid of these packets, just compile your kernel without
the multicast option.

 I recently spent a day installing kernel 2.0.34 with full X-windows

 downloaded
 three different Netscape binaries off the Netscape site, all for
 Linux, in

 de-
 tarring them and ns-installing them, and trying to run them,
 they all said they could not load libXpm.so.4 (sigh).
 
 Previously, I had installed a smaller (basic) workstation
 and then added X-windows, and had a similar problem when I gunzipped
 and de-tarred (and feathered) and installed Netscape: when I tried
 to
 run it, it complained it could not load libXt.so.6 ... durn.
 
 In both cases, a library of that name was there, so I suspect this
 is
 some sort of version-compatibility problem.

Assuming you have Hamm installed, and you have downloaded the supported
version of Netscape for Linux from the Netscape web site (the supported
version being the libc5 version, I believe), you need to do the
following :

* Install the libc5 and xlib6 (and also probably xpm4.7) packages from
  Opt./oldlibs. (This should fix the complaints about librairies not
  found).

* Use the Netscape installer (from contrib) to install netscape. To do
  this, you need to copy you Netscape binary to /tmp/, and probably
  to rename it a bit for the installer to recognise it).

The first step should be enough to solve the issue. The second is the
clean recommended way to do the installation, but is not mandatory
(I believe).

 options soundlow io=0x220

modconf seems to keep every previous configuration.

The best thing to do would be to delete all lines and run modconf again.

My (working) configuration says :

options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
options adlib_card io=0x388

Hope it helps.

Best Regards.

 I saw a file /etc/environment
 who reads it ?

It is automatically read by X11 on startup.

You can also add something like :

[ -f /etc/environment ]  . /etc/environment

in /etc/profile to have bash read it automatically for login shells.

Hope it helps.

 I want to thank everyone who replied. I'm sorry it took so long to get
 back to this, but tonight is the first night that I've been able to play

 I've consulted the Sound-HOWTO, the SoundBlaster-HOWTO, the
 Kernel-HOWTO, and various emails from the arhives and Dejanews. Yet I
 still have no sound. I don't know what my problem is. One problem I'm
 having is with the HOWTOs. Some are old and list kernel options that
 aren't available/are different in the 2.2.9 kernel. So I'm not sure what
 and where I'm screwing up.

You need to read two documents :

AWE32
README.awe

in the Documentation/Sound/ folder of the kernel documentation or sources.

 So I'll try to list what I've done and hopefully someone can spot where
 I went wrong.
 
 I've made some progress. I've been able to get my isapnp.conf file to
 yield no errors. However, none of the options matched what I wrote down
 from my windows sound settings, so I changed them to reflect them.
 Isapnp runs without bombing though, so I'm assuming that what I did was
 okay.

Having ISAPnP correctly set up is very important. Nothing will work if it is
not the case. But you don't need to have the same parameters in Windows and
Linux (except maybe if you boot with loadlin).

 I then installed the awe-drv and awe-midi packages.
 
 After that, I configured my kernel and made the following selections
 under sound:
 
 CONFIG_SOUND=m
 
 CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m
 CONFIG_SOUND_SB=m
 CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=m
 CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812=m
 
 CONFIG_LOWLEVEL_SOUND=y
 CONFIG_AWE32_SYNTH=m
 
 (I think that's it. I pulled these from my .config)
 
 After installing the new kernel and rebooting I ran modprobe -a sound,
 that does nothing. Also there is no sound entry under /proc/devices. cat
 /dev/sndstat yields nothing also.
 
 Any ideas?

You need to configure the modules with the right parameters (the io
addresses, irq, dma, etc. you've set up in ISA-PnP).

Use modconf to set up the modules with the right parameters.

(io, irq, dma, dma16, mpu_io for the sb module -- io for the adlib_card
module)

Hope it helps.

Best Regards.
