Qt 2.0, KDE 2.0
Hay un nuevo lector de news para el KDE llamado knode que está bastante bien aunque todavía es una versión alpha (pero ya supera al krn). He hecho un paquete deb para Slink que he puesto en http://members.xoom.com/rvmsoft/linux/ (les recomiendo a los amantes del KDE que lo prueben), también he traducido los mensajes al castellano y se los he enviado al autor. ¿Y que tiene esto que ver con el subject? os estareis preguntando. Pues bien, resulta que el autor del knode me ha comentado que tiene previsto portarlo al KDE 2.0 antes de finales de año, y por tanto para seguir usándolo necesitaría actualizarme. Y mi pregunta es ¿no estará por alguno de esos ftps que os sabeis (y que yo nunca me acuerdo de apuntar) el KDE 2.0 y las Qt 2.0 en paquetes deb compilados para Slink? Sé que el KDE 2.0 aún no ha salido, pero alguna beta habrá, pero me temo que será para Potato. BTW, ¿han puesto ya las QT 2.0 en potato? ¿en Main? Ahora ya son Open Source ¿no?

Me ha vuelto ha pasar
Esta mañana al arrancar linux me ha vuelto ha ocurrir lo que ya os comenté hace unos meses. El init no ha cargado absolutamente ningún servicio y me ha pedido el login antes de lo normal. Voy a explicarlo paso a paso: Enciendo el ordenador, tecleo linux y espero mientras arranca. No presto mucha atención, pero me doy cuenta de que ha cargado antes de lo normal y me está pidiendo el login, pero en lugar de poner rvmsoft.es me pone none.none o algo así. Intento ver los últimos mensajes que han aparecido en pantalla pero como resulta que puse el /etc/issue ese que se comentó aquí que borra la pantalla y saca un línea azul, no los puedo ver todos. Pero viendo las líneas que aparecían al pulsar Mayús-RePag y luego comparandolas con las de dmesg creo que el kernel se cargó correctamente y que la última línea debió ser la de Starting Init. Precisamente por lo del /etc/issue deduzco que el disco duro se montó correctamente y que el init pudo leer ese fichero, pero por alguna circunstancia no siguió con la carga del resto de demonios o lo que sean. Quizás por alguna razón no leyera su fichero de configuración. Como no me hacía caso a lo que tecleaba en el login pulsé ctrl-alt-supr para reiniciar, y en ese momento me pide la contraseña de root para mantenimiento o que pulse ctr-d para iniciar normalmente pero hiciera lo que hiciera no me lo aceptaba y al final tuve que apagar a lo bestia. Al volver a encender, arrancó perfectamente cargando todo lo que tenía que arrancar. La anterior vez me dijeron que podía ser un fallo del disco duro, pero no sé..., yo pienso que si el kernel tuviese problemas para acceder el disco duro mostraría algún mensaje de error, digo yo, por lo que me inclino a pensar que pudiera ser un bug del init o de alguno de los programas que arranca. Además sería mucha casualidad de que el disco duro fallase dos veces precisamente cuando va a leer el fichero de configuración del init (o script o lo que sea que lea). Y tampoco he notado nada raro en el disco duro ¿cómo podría saber que está empezando a fallar? Windows me arranca bien, me funciona bien (hasta casi ni se cuelga, toco madera), el scandisk tampoco detecta ningún error, y las comprobaciones que hace linux tampoco me dan nada raro. Alguna vez al apagar el ordenador he visto que aparecía un mensaje de error, pero no daba tiempo a leerlo porque era el último mensaje e inmediatamente se apagaba (y no se guarda en el log porque la partición ya estaba desmontada). Luego al encender me decía que el /dev/hda3 era un filesystem with errors, me hacía el chequeo pero no me detectaba nada raro ni aparecía nada en el /lost+found. Pero yo creo que estas pequeños fallos en el filesystem deben ser normales y que a todo el mundo le pasará de vez en cuando ¿no? Una vez me salió este mensaje que quedó grabado en el /var/log/messages: kernel: free_one_pmd: bad directory entry 0400. Tengo la debian 2.1 y el kernel 2.2.1 ¿debería actualizarlo? El lilo que tenía instalado era el de la hamm (junto con el smail era el único que no había actualizado todavía), pero acabo de instalar el de slink por si fuera eso, pero lo dudo. ¿Alguien tiene alguna pista de lo que puede estar pasando? ¿Fallo mío? ¿del disco? ¿de la debian? o ¿del kernel? ¿Lo sabrá Mulder? ¿Llegará este mensaje enviado por la cuenta de arrakis si en realidad estoy apuntado a esta lista con la cuenta de jazzfree?

Xwindows tiene una arquitectura muy bien pensada, lo que pasa es que en entornos domésticos con un solo ordenador no se le saca provecho, pero aun asi no creo que sea ni mucho menos más lenta que Win. Otra cosa es discutir sobre KDE (por que creo que todo el hilo de discusión surgió por KDE ¿no?), KDE es lento por naturaleza, utiliza MICO como base corba, que es un ORB morrosko, y lento, si a todo eso le añades el uso y abuso de las plantillas y del polimorfismo en C++ y el numero de capas que incorporan las aplicaciones, el resultado es que todo se ralentiza en demasía...(¿Se nota mucho que Gnome es la niña de mis ojos? ;-) Yo soy uno de los que empezaron esta discusión diciendo que el KDE era lento, pero he de decir que lo que me parece lento es el KDE y no Xwindows. Todos los window-managers que he probado (icewm, afterstep, window-maker, hasta el mismo wm del kde) van bastante bien en cuanto a velocidad, no me quejo. Bueno realmente el gnome iba extremadamente lento pero sólo si cargaba el esd, por tanto no es culpa de Xwindows. De lo que yo hablaba es que en determinados momentos se nota una cierta lentitud en las aplicaciones del KDE. Por ejemplo ¿habeis probado el editor de iconos? ¡Es insoportable el tiempo que tarda en abrirse el diálogo para escoger el icono que quieres cargar o grabar! Y así con algunas otras cosas, no es que sea excesivamente lento, pero comparándolo con windows sí que se nota bastante la diferencia. Yo también pienso que parte de la culpa puede ser por estar hecho integramente en C++. C++ está bien para realizar aplicaciones, pero para realizar todo un gestor de escritorio que debe ser rápido y no debe entretener demasiado al usuario creo que es demasiado. Ah, a mi me gusta más el KDE que el Gnome, pero eso no quita para que vea que tiene bastantes defectos. Por ejemplo ¿alguien ha intentado usar el navegador web del KDE con el wwwoffle como proxy? Al principio parece que va bien pero al intentar acceder a un página que no está en la caché en lugar de aparecer la página del wwwoffle para establecer las opciones para que la cargue más adelante, aparece una ventana del KDE preguntando por el programa que deseas utilizar para no sé qué.

With that setup (Netscape, KDE/GNOME, X, WordPerfect, ...) you'll almost definitely need a decent bit more than 500MB for your system. If you're that limited on space, one big partition might be the way to go. My recommendations: Swap: Big enough. You probably want memory+swap to be *at least* 64MB, but more doesn't hurt. /var (could combine with /): At least 100MB, 200MB is a good minimum if you have the space. More space is good, especially if you're going to track the unstable branch; Debian packages you download will wind up here, along with some local state and your Apache root. /home: As much as you need, probably at least 50-100MB. I tend to keep ~80MB of mail around, plus some personal stuff. If you're the only user on your system, you can get away with skimping on /home and putting your stuff elsewhere. /usr: Yeah, as much as you can get. Given your list of stuff, I'd say 500+ MB. /: If you've split off all three of /var, /home, and /usr, then / can be small (like 32MB). You'll probably want to symlink /tmp to somewhere, though. I also have /usr/local on a separate partition. If I wanted to, I could mount /usr read-only for a small feeling of extra security. Also, this is spread out over 2 disks (used to be 3).

Humble Request Re: New release over due
I appreciate the fine quality of the debian distribution and the work that goes into it. Thanks very much! It is my preferred linux distribution. However, I have three systems that are at slink level, and have been waiting for a long time for a 2.2.* kernel, gnome (available outside official debian), etc. Some earlier discussions about the true instability of the potato release have prevented me from starting the upgrade path yet. Perhaps I am getting old and lazy? Hmm. How about this for a practical suggestion: After Potato, *please* limit the scope of the feature changes that will take place before a new release. A 3-4 month cycle seems more appropriate to this kind of development. Make your goals more modest! Debian is already the best linux distro I have seen, with the only drawback that is is *many* months behind the newest features (if you stick with a stable version - if anyone on the newsgroup whines that they have hosed their system via an unstable upgrade attempt, they are admonished what do you expect? ).

slrn only scores some groups?
This is odd. Since I upgraded to potato, slrn (now at 0.9.5.7) only applies the scorefile to some groups. It's properly defined in .slrnrc, and works normally on the groups it works on at all. If I use the K command from an unscored group, it does open the correct scorefile (~/News/Score).

RE: WHAT THE F**K!!! (Was: Re: Looking for right ISP)
So, lots of reasons not to use Outlook. I'm curious, why do you find it to be the best available? What does it offer that, say, Netscape can't do with a good IMAP server? Thanks for the reply ! The best part of Outlook is it's integration. It works with my Pilot, has a PIM which is descent. My only complaint is it can't be minimized to the system tray. For me to try to switch at this point would be very unpleasant. It's lack of configurability is annoying. Otherwise it does a decent job. Overall, it is the best bang for the buck. I have looked at Goldmine and ACT!. Outlook has the best one stop application. Another complaint, as I type this email I check the performance monitor and see Outlook is using just under 10MB of RAM.

Re: Atari ST as Dumb Terminal

Hi all,
I wish to connect my old Atari ST to my linux box running slink with a serial
cable and use it basically as a dumb terminal.
Fair enough.
Could someone please point me in the direction of some useful documentation as
to how to do this.
This is the relevant portion of /etc/inittab on my workstation:
[...]
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 9600 vt100
[...]
Dont forget to restart init ('kill -1 1', or just reboot if that's less
harrowing) when you're done. It won't work otherwise.
Also does anyone know what software would be required on the Atari to
be able to do this
On the Atari, all you need is a program that speaks VT100 (or ANSI or VT52
or VT220 or...) over the serial port. Something that can use the modem
will work just fine; I like to user kermit (don't know if it's available
on an Atari). Just make sure that the terminal program is set for:
* 8 bits
* no parity
* 1 stop bit
* the baud rate matches what you have in /etc/inittab.

from my experience no.

my /etc/apt/apt.conf:
DPkg
{
// Auto remount readonly /usr
Pre-Invoke {mount -o remount,rw /usr;};
Post-Invoke {mount -o remount,ro /usr;};
}
works for me (TM)
note that as someone pointed out to me, if a package overwrites a
file that is in use you will not be able to remount /usr readonly
again until the file is closed. so remounting read write always
works but remounting read only again after the install/update may
fail.

RE: [off-topic] MS Outlook
Brian, How do you configure MS-Outlook to add the References header, so that threads will work properly? Or is this a feature of a newer version of outlook that wasn't in earlier versions? While I don't use outlook myself, I find it annoying to receive messages from people who do use it, when it doesn't add the References header. Especially when using Gnus, which makes it possible to instantly retrieve the parent article by pressing ^. I am not sure there is a way to configure it in Outlook98, which is the specific version I have. The RE: has always worked for me.

For me to try to switch at this point would be very unpleasant. It's lack of configurability is annoying. Otherwise it does a decent job. Overall, it is the best bang for the buck.

exim config probs
Hi, I'm having some troubles with exim configuration. I had set a masquerade box, that will work as smtp server for incoming and outgoing messages. I've (tried) to configure exim (w/ eximconfig) so that internal machines (that use us as smart server) can send and receive e-mail with netscape. To do this, I listed all ip's, domains of the internal machines as allowed to relay, but when I try to send a e-mail using netscape and the server as smtp, it refuses relaying to whom the message is being sent. I'm confused here: what should be necessary to do in order to have internal machines sending email through the server (smtp)? In case I couldn't be understood, I'll exemplify: message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (outside, valid address) from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (internal, valid address) try to send; message from netscape: An error occurred sending mail.

Re: Atari ST as Dumb Terminal
Hello David, I wish to connect my old Atari ST to my linux box running slink with a serial cable and use it basically as a dumb terminal. Could someone please point me in the direction of some useful documentation as to how to do this. Also does anyone know what software would be required on the Atari to be able to do this As far as software, there is a package called uniterm that was written by a fellow employee at DIGITAL many moons ago. At the time it was free to employees, but I believe he released it into the public domain, a few years later. It has full VT100, and even VT102 emulation, and can be configured in a multitude of ways. I used it all the time when telecommuting back then (in the good 'ole days). In any case, if a web search does not turn up anything, I'm sure I can scrounge up a copy. I would prefer to make sure it's OK to distribute first, but I'm pretty sure it is out there on the web in a few places. If my memory serves me correct, .19 was the final version. Keep us posted, I've got some STs laying around, and I know at least one works, so I will probably be getting to this task myself soon. I'm not sure if a NULL modem will be necessary, I forget all that stuff. I believe the serial port on the ST is a MODEM port, which may have 2 signals switched from what a standard serial port on a linux box expects. I'm sure others can elaborate. I'd wait until someome confirms this. I do not believe it can cause any damage, it just won't work. But these days, I tend to take the safer route when experimenting with my hardware. Also, somewhat off topic, there is an ST emulator called STONX (ST on X) which I also want to check out soon. I once wrote a small window system and Motif-like widget set layered on top of LINEA, and custom device drivers for the MIDI, mouse, and keyboard. It would be quite amazing if this could actually run on a linux box! John __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Supported video chip-sets
Hello, I am going to buy a new computer, but which video adapter/chip-set ? Many powerful new computers come with things like Matrox G400 or NVidia Riva TNT2. I am still using Slink with XFree 3.3.2, where these chips are not supported. However they are supported in potatoe with XFree86 3.3.5. Does this mean that I _have _ to upgrade in order to use them, or can i use them in Slink without their extra functionality ? For upgrading I prefer to wait for a stable potatoe, or at least for potato-cdroms. There are some completely new chip-set brands in 3.3.5, such as 3dfx with Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo3, 3DLabs with GLINT and Permedia chips. I don't even dare to ask. And some Diamond cards come with a 'Savage 4', which I cannot find in any XFree86 documentation. What is it ? egbert Egbert Bouwman - Keizersgracht 197 II - 1016 DS Amsterdam - 020 6257991

dselect Install
Hi all. Searched the archives and checked out the dselect tutorial, but couldn't find a satisfactory answer. I installed Debian 2.1 a couple of days ago, and now want to install the suggested development packages. I get the package list through apt just fine, and was able to download (through dselect) 80MB of the ~130MB I needed. At this point, the connection was reset and the install stopped. So if I run install again, will it re-download the 80 megs? When I run configure, it only lasts a second or two and exits. Does that mean all packages in the 80 megs are now installed and configured? Where do the .deb files get downloaded to? How about the executables? Alot of questions, so thanks in advance...

well as far as i know dselect will start out where it last left off and finish intalling the rest of the 130 Megs, i'm not sure if it has installed these packages yet or not, i would guess not. if you are using apt mehtod of getting your debs then they will be downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives/ the executables will be installed i various places on your system as well as the config files. look in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin and more On Fri, 3 Dec 1999, Carmine Lucarelli wrote: Hi all.

NIS and groups
Greetings, To get Netscape movemail working on my NIS server, I did: adduser hazelsct mail so NS could write a lock file to /var/spool/mail. However, when I try to do this on the NIS clients, I get # adduser hazelsct mail Adding user hazelsct to group mail... usermod: hazelsct not found in /etc/passwd adduser: `usermod -G mail hazelsct' returned error code 6. Aborting. Cleaning up. Of course hazelsct isn't in /etc/passwd, because hazelsct isn't a local user! Same goes for group floppy, to write to the floppy disk, and numerous others. How do I set things up so that either it will recognize group memberships on the NIS server, or else allow me to add NIS users to local groups? Do I need to eliminate local groups like floppy, mail, etc? System info: latest potato on x86. TIA, -Adam P.

Re: Window manager switcher
This may not be exactly what your looking for, but xsm (x session manager) can sort of do something like that. You have to set up sessions, and AFAIK you can't change sessions midstream. Some window managers are session aware so changing your window manager will be saved for the next session -- provided you also don't have an entry to start a window manager in that particular session. The problem with gnome and kde is they are finicky about their window managers. However, you can set up both gnome and kde sessions as well as bare bone fvwm. You chose your session after login. xsm is suggested by gdm in potato and the set-up works very well. I have flwm, Enlightenment and IceWm sessions managed by xsm, and then let gdm fire up my gnome session using sawmill. It's easy to use, check it out. -- ++ | Eric G.

Installing from boot disk and CD
Hi, I'm trying to install slink on a Compaq Deskpro 6000. This computer has an Adaptec SCSI controller so I need to boot using the special Rescue and Driver Floppies for Adaptec from http://www.debian.org/~adric/aic7xxx/. But I would like to install everything else from the CDs I ordered from Linuxmall. I've tried several permutations without luck. I'm hoping a kind soul will tell me the steps to take. :-) Thanks a lot! Hope you have a very nice day, :-) Tim Ayers ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Norman, Oklahoma
booting from an ext2 HD when Linux is on a second HD
I have two HD's, /dev/hda is the master, but Linux is installed on /dev/hdb. Originally, the master drive was DOS, and I used loadlin to start Linux on the second HD. Something fatal happened to my original DOS HD, so now I've put a new HD in its place, made it ext2, and mounted it as extra space. I don't want to reinstall Linux, but I can't seem to figure out how to get LILO to put the boot stuff on /dev/hda and then start up Linux on /dev/hdb. I've copied the boot directory to /dev/hda, but when I specify root=/dev/hdb in lilo.conf, LILO gives me a warning: hdb not on first drive. It also seems to be writing the boot sector to hdb instead of hda, and nothing I do seems to change this. When I restart, things freeze up right after the memory check, and instead I have to boot off of a boot floppy. Am I missing something really obvious here? Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance, L.
Re: exim config probs
On Fri, 3 Dec 1999, Mark Wagnon wrote: Did you make sure that you have set up exim to do relaying for your internal network? You neet to put the network address when eximconf asks you about relaying local networks. I 've never set this up before, but you can take a look at a Linux Gazette article that's really helpful. Hi, I found the prob. I think that eximconfig ask for a comma or space separated list of domains to relay for. Well, this doesn't work. You must use a colon separated list of domains. Even the entry (host_accept_relay) wasn't added to exim.conf but a carefully read at specs.txt solved the problem. I added to lines: relay_domains = *.my.domain host_accept_relay = localhost:192.168.9.0/24:192.168.10.0/24:*.my.domain Now exim is happy in accepting mail from my internal machines.
