Re: How can I get the Euro symbol?
It is 'language-env'. According to 'apt-cache policy' I don't think it is in potato. (potato is _really_ _really_ old) Many thanks, dman. What you have written makes sense to me - I shall read it over the next day or so and attempt to put it into practice.

slrn + leafnode in the same host
Hi! I am having troubles in my local network.. I was using slrn to read my news the nttp server was configured in another machine (all are debian-potatos) I dont remember to have been done something special and all was working very nicely.. but today I have installed another leafnode for my laptop this leafnode takes the news from the old nntp server. But now slrn is not working ok anymore I get this: Connected to host. Posting Ok. Checking for new groups ... 20713 new newsgroup(s) found. Checking news ... And this is all the time.. so everytime I launch slrn it report every newsgroup as a new newsgroup.. I have set this in my .slrnrc: set_unsubscribe_new_groups 1 but it doesn't help... Some help would be very appreciated! Roberto

upgrade to testing (woody) sources.list
I got round this problem by installing the package libdb2 by hand with dpkg. More precisely: dpkg -i libdb2_2%3a2.7.7-8_i386.deb The deb was in /var/cache/apt/archives. The upgrade proceeded more or less smoothly after that, but there was also a problem with exim; I had to create the directory /etc/exim/ manually before the upgraded exim would install.

Re: IP masquerade not working!! :( (fwd)
Sounds like your gateway does not know its hosts No.. since the traffic from the gateway to the hosts is slow it is there.. and the gateway and the hosts are in the same segment more than this the traffic from the hosts to the gateway is *very fast* so the ack packets from the gateway make their way.. The fact is that in the gateway I have an old ISA ne2000 card and in the host new pci cards so what I suspect is that the good cards are taking the channel much more efficiently. Anyway today I will buy a good network card and I will know.. IP masquerade works!! but it has taken two days for me to realize that the problem is in the network cards.. I think that this would be a very good candidate case for the FAQ.. :) Thank you! Regards Roberto Roberto Diaz [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://vivaldi.dhis.org Powered by GNU running on a Linux kernel.

More clear ipmasquerade standard still having problems. (fwd)
IP masquerade is not working for me : Just some new info in order to be more clear: From the IP-Masquerade Howto: 7.15. IP Masquerading seems slow There might be a few reasons for this: B7 Make sure you don't have both your INTERNAL and EXTERNAL networks running on the same network card with the IP Alias feature. If you ARE doing this, it is highly recommended to get another network card so that the internal and external networks have their own interface. * this is not my case.. I have a network link and a ppp link two interfaces --- B7 If you have an external modem, make sure you have a good serial cable. Also, many PCs have cheesy ribbon cables connecting the serial port from the motherboard or I/O card to the serial port connection. If you have one of these, make sure it is in good condition. Personally, I have ferrite coils (those grey-black metal like rings) around ALL of my ribbon cables. --- * My ppp link works great from the linux masquerade machine.. so this is not my case neither. --- B7 Make sure your MTU is set to 1500 as described in the FAQ section of this HOWTO above --- * I have for both the MTU and the MRU --- B7 Make sure that your serial port is a 16550A or better UART. Run dmesg | more to verify * mine it is 16550A B7 Make sure that your serial port for your PPP connection is running at 115200 (or faster if both your modem and serial port can handle it.. a.k.a ISDN terminal adapters) - * It is at 115200 - B7 2.0.x kernels: The 2.0.x kernels are kind of an odd ball because you can't directly tell the kernel to clock the serial ports at 115200. So, in one of your startup scripts like the /etc/rc.d/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.serial file, execute the following commands for a modem on COM2: --- * mine is 2.2.17 (2.0 kernel problems skipped) --- B7 Set the TCP Sliding window to at least 8192 * I dont know if I have the sliding window to this value, but if my ppp link is fast from the masquerade machine this shouldt be an issue isn't it? -- B7 Setup IRQ-Tune for your serial ports B7 On most PC hardware, the use of Craig Estey's IRQTUNE http://www.best.com/~cae/irqtune/ tool and significantly increase serial port performance including SLIP and PPP connections. --- * Same answer as the last point.. it shouldn't be an issue since my ppp link is fast!! -- What is happening?

Re: water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.
PS - People take all their accumulated windows knowledge for granted. Years and years and years of it, and then expect that they can learn a new OS over night. Simply rediculous. This is absolutly true.. I personally have found a lot of computer newbies really lost with their brand new windoze boxes.. GNU/Linux at the long term is far easier than windows... you have much more resources and your skills are not wasted by new great versions in fact the Linux progress is much more about performance and bug-catching than changing the interface itself... (which always follows very stable standards.. posix, SVr4, etc).. But if you get use to install using wizards and telling ok to all then it is normal feeling quite lost.. The fact is that when people ask for friendly desktops they usually mean there is a lot of time since I am using windoze and I expect to find just that windoze. Surely linux is not for every user.. at least not to install/configure or maintain.. but I know some pretty examples about some networks installed using remote booting maintained by a sysadmin.. the users only have to know very little about KDE or GNOME/Enlightment they dont need to be root and they are quite happy.. you only need a sysadmin to maintain the whole network, to add a new workstation/desktop is a matter of seconds..

Re: Partition recommendations for dual boot installation???
How to partition exactly? I have a 6o GB HD (master) and a 6 GB HD (slave) and want to install Debian and Windows ME with either LILO or GRUB as boot loader. I have seen suggested to make different partitions for /mbr, /usr, /usr/local, /var, /home, and /tmp. Plus I will need at least one or two for Windows. Take advice of this guy who is writting you right now and who in fact havent partitioned properly: bash-2.03$ df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 705352 38264631256 6% / /dev/hda5 2015464 1506096406984 79% /usr /dev/hda6 1007936386444570288 40% /var /dev/hda2 4053487 1914207 1929566 50% /home As you see I left too much space for / which now is a waste (well I could symlink but thats dirty and you dont want that).. that space would have been much better in /usr /var hasnt been too a very good choice.. in fact very bad, for a nntp server or mail server it would be a good choice but for a workstation is not.. So see that maybe you want to put as much room as possible into /usr bash-2.03$ du -s /usr 1506096 /usr bash-2.03$ du -s /usr/local 118096 /usr/local bash-2.03$ du -s /usr/share 505684 /usr/share bash-2.03$ du -s /usr/src 280356 /usr/src bash-2.03$ du -s /usr/lib/ 305924 /usr/lib So... the best.. well now I will do the following: let far less room for / let far more room for /usr and /usr/local less room for /var And as ever the more room for /home the best.. Take your own conclusions.. since I am not goint to reinstall my whole system.. I will survive untill I will get a brand new 40-80 Gbytes HD.

Re: Partition recommendations for dual boot installation???
less room for /var Don't make it too small, apt-get stuffs the debs there when you switch from, e.g., potato to woody, can be several 100 MBs. So yes, for a workstation it's probably best to have /var /tmp and /usr on one huge partition Yes its true you need a cache there.. but as you can see in my working system: /dev/hda6 1007936386496570236 40% /var I am only using 40% and as you can see: bash-2.03$ du -s /var/cache/apt/archives/ 189756 /var/cache/apt/archives It is not too much.. I run every week apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade.. and I doubt I will run into troubles. So maybe I would run into troubles if I wanted to go unstable and I had to download hundreds of new packages... meantime those free 500 MGbytes are very stable and maybe it is too much..

Re: Help! Accidentally started deleting /usr
I don't have the luxury of a CD burner. I backup to the hard drive of another machine. I don't have room to do a full backup, but a backup of the important bits should be enough to recover --- just that it might take a little longer. An undelete feature would mean a reduction in the number of circumstances where this longer restoration effort was required. You havent an undelete in unix but you can easily implement something like this: For example you can make your own rm: (pseudocode that shall be improved but you get the idea) myrm: #!/bin/bash backup_dir=/usr/local/share/secure/backup for i in $* do # fix: comprobe first if the file exist in the backup and rename # as needed mv $i $backup_dir # dont rm just move. done exit 0 then you could put a crontab to remove the contentents at backup_dir periodically, or just do it by hand.. if you remove something by accident you dont have to care about this since you only has moved it..

Re: Help! Accidentally started deleting /usr
mv will NOT move stuff across filesystems ( partitions ) What do you mean? take a look of info mv: -- `mv' can move any type of file from one filesystem to another. Prior to version `4.0' of the fileutils, `mv' could move only regular files between filesystems. For example, now `mv' can move an entire directory hierarchy including special device files from one partition to another. It first uses some of the same code that's used by `cp -a' to copy the requested directories and files, then (assuming the copy succeeded) it removes the originals. If the copy fails, then the part that was copied to the destination partition is removed. If you were to copy three directories from one partition to another and the copy of the first directory succeeded, but the second didn't, the first would be left on the destination partion and the second and third would be left on the original partition. so the myrm shown below will NOT work properly... It will. - it'd make things worst ... half is still stuck in /usr and the files that were moved is ins $backup_dir Just an opinion. Anyway if you dont like mv(1) just use gzip tar and cp they will make a better work.. For better information take a look at Stevens about how the mv(1) command uses to work... it is very efficient..

I want all the debian mail relay's administrators be very aware about this. They want to block the whole IP's which are dynamic so they can not send mail anymore so every guy in the internet will have to depend upon a third-party mail relay to send mail.. whats the next? mail-abuse.org is doing something like lets put into jail every people who are living in a city where a crime has been commited... this reminds me those times in France when nazis killed 100 inocent persons for each nazi killed. In fact my last IP was to a blacklist.. blacklist!! are we becaming insane? whats the next? whats the next brilliant idea to ruin other valuable services like those you can achieve using ddt or dhis? maybe the next recommendation from mail-abuse.org will be something like: please send your mail using only secure-relay.echelon.gov Please all of you who are administrating mail relays take this into account when using the services from mail-abuse.org. Not everybody who sends mail using dynamic ip's are spammers just dynamic dns users, and to give the power to mail-abuse.org to decide who can send mail and who cant into your system maybe it is to give them too much power.. maybe that should be **your power** and **not** their power.. Who is abusing more the mail now? spammers or mail-abuse.org?

Since ddts, dhis, and all of the other dynamic IP, static hostname providers are designed to allow users on a dynamic IP to act as servers, sending e-mail is one of the functions that legitimate administrators of these dyn-ip servers would wish to do. I think your proposal is quite worthy.. Why dont allow fully functional servers just because they are using dynamic ip's? I think you need to convince people that DUL is a bad thing then. It can be argued whether blocking mail coming from dynamic IPs is worthy. Some people claim most spammers use dynamic IPs, therefore mail from dynamic IPs should be blocked. Others claim we shouldnt block 'good' mail based on the assumption that it may be spam. The truth is some people believe mail from dynamic IPs is more often junk than worthy mail. Therefore, they use DUL and block it. Which makes the life of people who use dynamic hosts as servers (most of our users) difficult. As Luca stated before in this thread, we do not provide SMTP services and there's nothing we can do about DUL since its blocking based on IP addresses, not on domain names (plus that your IP never resolve to your .ddts.net addy but only the other way around). We are not going to provide any relaying for outgoing mail from users either if that's what you wanted, that would almost certainly get us in the RBL (or whichever service it is for open relays). I am sad there are spammers in this world really. Yes, it is a pain to use a dynamic connection for running a real server, especially for email.

Re: [MAPS #33478] Re: Whats goin on?
And I insist that what you are doing with dynamic ip's has a name.. FASCISM. Sorry very much but this is the true.. spammers always will find a work-around since they have nothing better to do with their lifes. By blocking the whole dynamic segment of the internet you are not a solution anymore but a part of the problem. There are limits you have to respect... you cant burn an entire country to end a plague. you cant put inocents into jail to stop crime. Please stop doing this.. who in the hell are you to block the whole dynamic segment of the internet? it is ABSURD. Otherwise I read all that was fed into this ticket and, while the technology for dynamic IP DNS systems evolved considerably over the past two years since DUL started, the basic problem has not changed. Spammers, looking for every possible way to send their unwanted traffic without leaving an audit trail, forced DUL into existence. It is too bad that otherwise legitimate uses for dynamic IP are impaired somewhat because of this, even so you can still send mail to DUL subscribers by using a fixed IP mail server you're authorized to use for outgoing mail. -- STOP E-MAIL TRESPASSING. http://mail-abuse.org/dul/ PGP public key (0x8EF878B5) available at http://mail-abuse.org/dul/[EMAIL PROTECTED] If you're going to send me mail you consider confidential and privileged, use PGP. http://www.pgpi.org/ Regards Roberto Roberto Diaz [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://vivaldi.ddts.net Powered by ddt dynamic DNS Powered by GNU running on a Linux kernel.

If you absolutely want to run a real server, geez, get a real connection. I was using ddt for mail.. and for nothing else.. if you dont want me to use it.. OK but dont lie.. in your site you had specific instructions about how to run a mail server using ddt. Now I really dont advise anybody to run your software since it really wil let you down.. for what did you code a dynamic DNS to tell at the end: If you absolutely want to run a real server, geez, get a real connection And for people from MAPS I have say enough..

Your ISP gives you a mailserver through which to relay mail. Set a smarthost and get over it. Why isn't that sufficient for you?

Re: [MAPS #33478] Re: Whats goin on?
The problem you are having, Roberto, as nothing to do with DDT but with you being on a dynamic connection. The truth is a static connection is much better suited for servers, but it is possible to run a server on a dynamic connection (much more affordable). One downside is some people will reject your mail (which as nothing to do with DDT). When do I have told that my problems had something to do with DDT.. untill your message telling me to get a real connection never ever!! But now you say that DDT is only for pointing.. for that I could use ICQ as well most people uses DDT for mail.. thats a fact. DDT has been working great for me all the time... why does ddt let me down? because Remi advise me to get a real connection,.. I have the connection I can afford.. If I could afford FR I wont be using a dial-up connection. Be aware That all my complains was for MAPS DUL not for you.. I was defending the right to use your linux box the way you like the right to be inoccent if nobody is able to show you are guilty.. so maintaining black list about ip's is a little bit hideous.. I think. Of course this has nothing to do with you.. but affect the people who use your software for mail.. now you say that we can not use it for mail? ok tell this in your site..

Re: [MAPS #33478] Re: Whats goin on?
Just citing a principle is _not_ enough to change the MAPS folks' minds. That's why it isn't sufficient for me. So do you think is ok to treat to put the complete dynamic ip segment into a black list?

Re: [MAPS #33478] Re: Whats goin on?
If you have an ISP who doesn't provide a mail server for you but provides you with a DUL-listed IP, that's your fault. Please.. there are a lot of combinations.. a lot of countries a lot of realities.. you can have no chance to choose a ISP who provides you SMTP/POP and is not your fault.. Anyway there is no point... if we cant agree that to block the entire internet dynamic segment is to go too far.. I can't see how we can agree.. Think for example in a lot of third-world countries maybe in some places they could be using dynamic DNS as the only way to have multiple e-mail for everybody in a small village.. they maybe only can afford a dial-up connection...

Re: Linux Virus
Like every so-called Linux virus, it requires the user to behave stupidly - it's really a trojan horse.

Re: [OT] running a PIII with no fan?
Noise. In my system the most noises cames from the power source fan rather than the CPU fan. And be aware that a CPU fan shouldnt be too noisy.. if so maybe it has started breaking down.. change it.. I change my CPU fan as soon as it starts to vibrate too much and this way I always have a very silent fan. Have you a silent power source? there are some expensive CPU fans which are really silent.. I dont think is a very good investment to stop your CPU fan for noises, you could for example try to place your computer into some case to isolate noises.

Re: Printer reccommendation
I've never had problems configuring an HP on Linux, and they're pretty reliable my Epson Stylus 740 prints like crap, and started doing so, right after the warranty ran out, so I'd recommend against Epson (but then that's only one printer, it could have been a fluke), and there's not a whole lot of support for their models. I completely agree with you.. HP printers are great.. and epson are very prone to failures... I advise to purchase a laser printer for everybody who want a printer just to print out documentation hp 1100 is a very nice choice for this and if you buy recicled tonners then the ratio price per printer page is realy good. For those who want a color printer.. well I see no point in buy an unexpensive color printer since their quality is realy bad not to mention the ratio price per printer page which makes the investment really bad in the middle term.

Re: [OT] running a PIII with no fan?
Why do you want to burn you CPU? a fan is very cheap.. less than $15 some models. You can buy one in all computer stores. Just curious.. why do you want to make this? (maybe you have other solutions) This is strictly non-Debian but I haven't found any info on this anywhere so maybe someone can help: can I run a PIII with the CPU fan unplugged, provided I underclock it? I ran my Katmai 500MHz processor with the fan unplugged for a whole day, underclocked to 333MHz, it didn't even blink. This included 1.5 hours of intense benchmarking stuff (I was scared to push it for longer than that). Very hot though (couldn't touch the heatsink for more than a half second or so). Presumably this is not very good for the CPU. But will it last about a year under these conditions? What about other Intel CPU's? A Celeron? A gigahertz processor? If I underclock these things as far as they will go (on my mobo this means 66 MHz bus speed), will they run reliably without active cooling? Do I need a special heatsink? Where can I buy one?

Can somebody advise me a good viewer/converter for m$ powerpoint under debian? just a converter would be fine... I prefer command-line tools... No converter I'm aware of, unless you like 'strings' g. StarOffice, that bloated stuck pig of an office suite, works pretty well. I didnt want to install that beast.. I would try to look for something else.. Thank you very much.

staroffice..
Well after a little bit lurking the web a see the only real chance to see powerpoint files under linux is staroffice (yes I know I could use wmware and the like but I want something as lighter as possible since I wont use it too much). I see at staroffice site a file which is called player.. does this file contains utilities to view m$oft formats? can I use it separately from the rest of the suite? Thank you!!

Re: more with wget..

Then tried the job again from with in acroread. The second job never appeared. And how do you print from a shell... are you using lpr or lpr -Pnameofprinter?

Re: napster.. where is napster?
The thing is - if there's anything even slightly centralised about it - how is one going to get the money to fund it? I mean the bandwidth charges'd be astronomical. We could set up a Free (in the GNU sense of Libre) search engine not centralized.. in the way of software like napster.. we have to think and find a solution.. we could make a worldwide network of bookmarks for example.. of course powerful bookmarks.. well indexed bookmarks.. A posible way to accomplish this could be: 1.- We can have installed lets called it GNU Smart Search GSS for sort. This software could reserve 10 - 100 Mbytes of our hd for its use 2.- each time we find an interesting site we bookmark it with this software. 3.- This software could have implemented a spider which uses idle network time to index our bookmarks and lurk the internet a little bit. (the spider could only lurk our most local internet) 4.- When this software goes on-line it tells a central server it is ready to recieve queries. (this can be dynamical and adaptative). 5.- lets say this means we have to ashare 5% of our bandwith for queries 6.- The central server recieve queries and forward them to each GSS client, the client then respond to the original machine which launched the query so the central server can be always as free as possible. (this strategy can be improved. but we can think, cant we?) 7.- we can configure our GSS client to tell the server what contents we can search better, geographical data about ourselves, how much bandwith we can afford to share.. and so on.. so the GSS server can implement a more clever forwading engine. (in fact as clever as we could be able to implement) Lets say: Well 10 Mbytes * 1 machines online = 100 Gbytes of searchable information But lets be more optimistic: 100 Mbytes for GSS client * 10 machines online = 1 Gbytes!!! far more than a lot of current search engines!! and 1000 machines online means 1000 spiders working.. if we forget about people bookmarking, their machines still can be working indexing a lot of sites. This means a huge amount of information.. How much internet sites do we really can find with current search-engines? 2%... 15% maybe? I doubt we can reach much more. and what sites current search engines will present you the most? comercial sites? informative sites? I think mostly comercial.. It is an idea, if somebody likes please tell me and we can start writting this at sourceforge.. I am going to open this project right now. Of course this GSS system could be improved to the limit of our imagination. maybe it wouldn't be the most fast search engine but we could look for strategies to make it reasonable fast. what I have described here is only a first scheme.. and as disk space and bandwith became cheaper we can have the most monumental resource to index the whole internet. We can ask some LUG's to run servers.. many of them have free servers for the GNU/Linux community.. (at least this is the case in Spain). The servers could implement better strategies to load balancing and to eliminate duplicates. Their only and main task should be to fordward queries and very few data, which can be compressed so we safe as much bandwith as possible at this end. This could be a great relief.. since the fact is that everything in the internet is being monopolized, that all the old enterprises at the end belong to very large ones.. and that the natural conclusion is that we will finish with an internet whose main resources will be owned by only a couple of huge companies.. the lack of freedom could be horrible then.. And be aware about microsoft .NET strategy... As smaller companies are being swallow for large ones at the end we will finish without room for freedom. and we only will see the internet that large monopolies want us to see. As you very well point out to afford the resources needed to index a reasonable amount of internet sites is impossible for smaller companies.

Re: Back to Windows??
Microsoft has the benefit of proprietary documentation on lots of hardware because they are willing to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements with the manufacturers. So they can make drivers that work out of the box. Linux developers don't have that luxury. They have to reverse engineer the drivers. So, it takes longer and the drivers don't always Not at all.. a lot of GNU/Linux developers are willing to sign NDA's if they havent other choice.. but a lot of manufactures dont like to have NDA's with Linux developers.. you reverse engine a device when you havent other choice or when you have tons of experience reverse-engineering some kind of devices and somebody, somehow supports your work.. this work can be the most difficult thing a developer can face. I know for my own experience. no joke.. a painful experience.

Free libre internet search engine.
Hi.. well this is off-topic sorry.. somebody is going to kill me but.. somebody has to make sure about this, Being aware about the new Microsoft world domination attempt with its .NET platform and after years watching how the Internet is getting more and more commercial (well this maybe is not that bad while freedom be respected).. I would like to propose the following: (and maybe it exist already if so tell me please and sorry!). We need a free, libre, Internet Search Engine.. we should coordinate this from all the international LUG's.. this Internet search engine should be not for profit but to ensure in the future that all of us will have a site of reference to query for all pages/information/documentation in the Internet without economical or other kind of interests interfering. We also should made sure that in the future every document in the Internet could have a chance to be indexed in order to be founded from every place around the world. Maybe this is not for tomorrow.. but a libre search engine is something needed.. Sorry very much, for my english that I am trying to improve and for my off-topic.. but I think is necessary to mention the possibility of a project like this. Sorry and thank you very much indeed.

Examples: first: onelist.com -- egroups.com - yahoo.groups.com first: yahoo.com first: geocities.com --- geocities.yahoo.com -- yahoo.com --- too big lycos.com telefonica.com terra.com ozu.com terra.com too big deja.com groups.google.com google.com google.com too big Not to mention aol.com (feel free to add to this list all that I am missing) Just some examples.. the next maybe: terra.com + yahoo.com + google.com + aol.com + microsoft = monopoly At the end we will see the internet that very few want us to see.. Wee need a Free Information Service. We could do something similar to napster.. Yes.. I know.. this wont happen... all is ok how is today and how it will be tomorrow...

Hi!

If you wish to convert DocBook or other DTD files, then please install and use sgmltools-2 or jade package. --- sgml-tools aborting. I have docbook installed too.. :?

Re: sgmltools
I have docbook installed too.. :? Make sure you have jade installed. Then if you want to convert to tex, you can just say sgmltools -b tex libggi-api.sgml. You'll need jadetex to process the result. I just have xdvi open all the time and use sgmltools -b dvi source. Thank you very much it seems to work.. (I had jade installed also) I still get some errors: I did sgmltools -b ps libggi-api.sgml: dvips: Couldn't find figure file /usr/share/sgml/stylesheets/docbook/images/note.eps; continuing ] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47 dvips: Couldn't find figure file /usr/share/sgml/stylesheets/docbook/images/note.eps; continuing ] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [57] [58] [59] [60] [61] [62] [63] [64] [65] [66] [67 dvips: Couldn't find figure file /usr/share/sgml/stylesheets/docbook/images/warning.eps; continuing If I do sgmltools -b dvi libggi-api.sgml the I have errors like this: xdvi.bin: cannot find PS file `/usr/share/sgml/stylesheets/docbook/images/tip.eps'. xdvi.bin: cannot find PS file `/usr/share/sgml/stylesheets/docbook/images/tip.eps'. xdvi.bin: cannot find PS file `/usr/share/sgml/stylesheets/docbook/images/tip.eps'.
