showmount

1999-10-22 Thread TooMany
Buenas.

¿Dónde puedo encontrar el programa showmount? ¿En algún el paquete de NFS?
Lo digo por que éste es el server, y repitiendo la búsqueda, he visto que no
existe ningún paquete al estilo de; nfs-client.

Gracias por todo.

Re: Ver .doc desde Netscape

1999-10-22 Thread Manuel Arenaz Silva
Hola,

He probado el script para ver ficheros .doc en netscape y funciona. El unico 
problema es que la
aplicacion mswordview no reconoce muchos de los ficheros .doc. ¿Existe alguna 
otra aplicacion
que interprete los ficheros .doc sin tantos fallos? Si existe, ¿es posible 
generar ficheros
.html con ella?

Saludos,

  Manuel Arenaz

 Son dos scripts: nswordview y nsopen.
 Para que funcionen en Debian hay que decirles donde esta el tcsh, ellos 
 suponen que esta en
 /bin pero en Debian lo tenemos en /usr/bin

 Ademas la llamada a mswordview desde nswordview la he cambiado porque creaba 
 un documento
 vacio.

 En netscapeeditpreferencesnavigatorapplications se edita la opcion 
 Microsoft Word
 Document y ponemos el comando /usr/bin/nswordview %s
 Y si un enlace apunta a un archivo .doc, cuando pinchas te lo convierte en 
 .html y te lo
 muestra sobre la marcha.
 Hay que tener cuidado con el directorio /tmp porque crea alli los archivos

 si no los borras crece y crece.

(des)Instalar un módulo de perl

 Me he bajado el módulo  Net::XWhois para poder usar un programa

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

my @clean = qw(*% *.html *.b[ac]k *.old *gz);
push @clean, map { */$_ } @clean;

WriteMakefile(

 El caso es que  no me gusta meterme en algo de  lo que luego no

Programa para reducir imagenes

1999-10-22 Thread Miguel Rodriguez Penabad
Hola a todos:
Tengo un montón de imágenes (aproximadamente
1500) que están en formato GIF a 2 colores y son demasiado
grandes (4500x4000 puntos, etc).
Necesito que ocupen menos espacio, así que había pensado
en reducirlas de tamaño.
¿Sabeis si hay algún programa batch que lo haga?
Porque el asunto me corre bastante prisa, y abrirlas
con cualquier programa, reducir tamaño, y grabarlas
una por una me dan aquí hasta que tengamos
el problema del efecto 3000 
Si sabeis de algun programa para Linux/Unix/Windows
que lo haga, o por lo menos uno que admita
parametros por linea de comando para hacer un script,
os lo agradecería mucho

solucion sería factible)

'mnúa pregunta ;D, el GiMP! (Linux). http://www.gimp.org

Si te manejas con scheme (guile), deberías poder hacer un script en
GiMP que te haga eso que pides. Mira los ejemplos de scripts que te vienen
con el GiMP, además podrás aplicarle el algoritmo de resampling que quieras.

Ahora mismo no tengo a mano mi linuxcete, y no sé si el gimp trae de
por sí batch conversion (que es como se llama a lo que tú quieres) que
admita resizing (pero diría que no), así que tendrás que hacerlo con un
script en scheme o mezclando bash+gimp(scheme)

El problema es que según qué versiones de GiMP no te permitirán
abrir GIFs comprimidos (busca una que sí lo permita, creo que esa opción
viene como plugin). Ah y ya que estás, en vez de salvarlas a GIF, sálvalas a
PNG, que comprime mejor, es un formato mucho más amplio y además es libre.

Re: Ver .doc desde Netscape

1999-10-22 Thread David Charro Ripa
catdoc ve word6 y word7 (office95). Pero creo que no el word8 (office97)
catdoc viene con un visor llamado wordview.

El mswordview ve word8, o sea, el del office97.
Aunque los word6 o 7 intenta leerlos, no los convierte bien.

Se me luenga la traba con tanto numerico.

Oi,
desculpa estar um pouco afastado. :)
Uma pagina que eu tentei organizar ha um tempo atras e que vou atualizar
era: A Debian em Portugues: http://linuxlabs.lci.ufrj.br/debian-br
Abracos,PH
Quoting Gleydson Mazioli da Silva ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 Sem querer ser chato,
 
 Chato? Você acabou de dizer toda a verdade!
 
 mas eu ja havia percebido isto ha um tempo atras; e falaram que iam se
 concentrar no trabalho e deixar a divulgacao para depois; mas, nao sei
 se conhecem aquela historia da galinha e da pata; uma bota ovos e fica
 calada e a outra tambem coloca os ovos se que faz um alarido, anuncio 
 no
 prog do faustao, etc; quem vcs acham que eh a mais conhecida...??
 
 Sim acho que todos nós já haviamos percebido, mas não tinhamos a base
 em Português e os voluntários que temos hoje. Nós sempre tivemos
 a equipe de suporte nesta lista e ótimas sugestões para o 
 desenvolvimento
 da Debian.
 Sobre a história da galinha, a história se repete no mundo real. A 
 Microsoft se 
 baseia mais nas propagandas mas o Linux se baseia no seu mérito.
 
 Facam banners, que a gente ajuda a divulgar; os organizadores, mandem
 emails direitinho as principais revistas de informatica pedindo q eles
 facam uma materia, coisa assim; tem algumas revistas online, ex,
 http://www.revistalinux.com.br, e http://www.revistadolinux.com.br que
 vcs podiam pedir para criar uma secao com noticias sobre o projeto, ou
 fazer um link para o site da debian br; ou ainda colocar bannersm, etc.
 
 Alguém com tempo disponível pode fazer isto? 
 
 Talvez seja hora de mostrar o excelente trabalho que vcs estao fazendo;
 senao, vao passar batidos; pouca gente mesmo, mas pouca mesmo conhece o
 site da debiar-br ( se nao me engano http://www.br.debian.org, nao eh 
 ??
 ) e sera preciso um esforco ( agora ) imenso para contornar isto; tem
 que pensar direito: se colocar banners do linswap, do linkexchange, se
 paga anuncios online, ex no zaz, no uol ou sei la; pq eu mesmo tou 
 vendo
 que em toda revista, comercial que eh divulgado so aparece a 
 conectiva/redhat/suse, e debian nada; a debian eh uma ex\celente
 distrib, mas precisa ser mais trabalhada em sua divulgacao...
 
 É realmente isto que precisamos fazer agora. Ontem quando enviei a 
 mensagem
 para linux.trix.net, eu recebi 5 mensagens de usuários que adoram usar a 
 Debian mas
 acredito que quase todos não conhecem a lista ou os trabalhos que estão 
 sendo
 feitos por usuários Portugueses (porque nunca vi seus nomes na lista de 
 discussão!).
 
 Eu pessoalmente nao uso o debian, no momento estou usando o conectiva
 3.0 ( eh, nada de 4.0, nem redhat 6.x ), mas ja usei quase todas as
 distribs, inclusive a debian ainda na versao 1.2 ( o primeiro linux a
 gente nunca esquece, nao eh mesmo ? ) se nao me falha a memoria
 e para nao dizer que eu falo muito e pouco faco, mandem-me uns banners 
 q
 eu coloco em minha pagina no linux.brasileiro.net/~csena/. E mais: se
 vcs entrarem em contato com o Roberto ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )eh possivel
 colocar um banner de vcs entre os banners que vao ficar rodando no 
 site;
 a gente ta midando o visual do site, nao ta funcionando ainda no site
 todo, mas eh um inicio.

em http://www.debian.org/logos/ eles podem ser transformados
fácilmente em banners rotativos junto aos seus usando-se java 
script.

E mais: o endereco eh meio complicado de se decorar, podias bolar uma
maneira de tornalo mais facil?? algo como http://debianbrasil.org ou
http://come.to/debian-br ???

Sim, a referência também poderia ser feita a estes endereços. Alguém 
sabe se é possível abrir links para endereços .org?

E mais2: no linux.brasileiro temmos uma secao onde procuramos 
apresentar cada distribuicao; entao for interessante, podiamos bolar um 
mirror com estes dados da Debian-br...

É só copiar e espalhar por ai, é tudo de graça mesmo, todos os dados 
mais atualizados estão disponíveis! Se tiver o espaço e quiser 
divulga-lo como mirror, vá em frente!

   Olá, pessoal,

Olá Carlos

   Pequei o endereço desta lista em um site(esqueci de anotar). 
Estou entrando na comunidade Linux - experimento um CD da revista Geek 
que veio com a versão Marumbi da Conectiva. Desejo aprender sobre 
outras distribuições, inclusive Debian. Peço licença para participar da

Seja bem vindo ao grupo!

Você pode encontrar a instalação da Debian Slink em Português em:

A página atual de referência conhecida do grupo para assuntos 
relacionados com a internacionalização da Debian é a 

http://linuxlabs.lci.ufrj.br/debian-br

Ela contém a maior parte do material traduzido para o Português, e
os trabalhos que estão sendo feitos atualmente... Ela está em 
processo de atualização.

Devem existir mais páginas páginas que tratam sobre a Debian, mas

well most programs do not run as root, this means that its literally

/home/you /tmp and /var/tmp the tmps are cleaned up automatically I 
believe with the boot scripts and cron jobs.


I suspect you are coming from win* or macos and are used to crappy 
things like `self repair' read randomly spew files all over the 
place, which makes true deinstallation impossible.


generally you can expect alot of software to install a configuration 
file or directory in the user's home but its up to the user to keep 
track of that and clean up as needed.

Kernel panic VFS ...

1999-10-22 Thread Jocke
Hi all,

I did something stupid today :(
While recompiling my kernel to add scsi support for my cdrw I accidently
forgot some ide stuff and now I can't boot.

VFS: Cannot open root device 03.05
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05


This has been discussed before on this list and I pretty much know
what I did to mess it up.

I have 2 debian partitions the one that works are on hda2 and the one
that messed up is on hda5.
I have some old vmlinuz + System.map in /boot

Could anyone guide me thru this so I can get my hda5 debian to boot again ?
Can I fix it from this (hda2) partition or do I have to use a rescue disc or
something and recompile or what ?

Hoping for some help!

Best regards

FontStruct problem

1999-10-22 Thread Kevin Havener
I saw one question on this in the archives, but I didn't see an answer, so
I'll ask it again.

I have one working debian X installation and one not working installation
(The one that works is 2.1, the one that doesn't is 2.1r3, both plain
vanilla).  Unfortunately the one that doesn't work is the one I need to work. 
Obviously, I fouled up my new installation, but I can't figure out where.  

Netscape and xemacs give the following errors:  
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ netscape

Note:  If I edit my font preferences in Netscape, I only have a choice of
three:  clean (Schumacher), fixed (misc), fixed (Sony).

I get the same sort of error with xemacs:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xemacs 
[1] 2268
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Warning: Cannot convert string
-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* to type FontStruct

Thinking this my be a fontserver problem, I've check the following:

I think this means my X font server is running:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps waux | grep xfs  
root   160  0.0  0.0  157612  ?  S   Oct 20   0:00 (xfs)

# in decipoints
default-point-size = 120
# x1,y1,x2,y2,...
default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100

The font directories listed above look OK--i.e., mkfontdir has been run in
all of them.  I see a fonts.dir, et al file in each.


Any idea why I'm experiencing such a shortage of fonts--I have oodles of
them installed.


TIA, Kevin

The Mail-Followup-To: header seems to have this effect.  Dwayne has this

the resulting To: header just had Dwayne and debian-user (the contents

 Yep, and I am unstead.  (And I don't think metoo is even set, either)

If you're being listed as a recipient without setting metoo, it's
probably because mutt doesn't know your e-mail address.  Set the
alternates variable to contain all of your e-mail addresses.  Mine,
for instance, is:

  set alternates=^([EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL

After you have booted up, press Alt-Ctrl-F1 which will get you to a text

 Has anyone tried compiling the recent kernels (ie 2.2.10-12) with gcc 2.95
 or 2.95.2 ? Any problems ??

I build all of my kernels with whatever the latest EGCS/GCC in potato
is, so I'm currently using gcc 2.95.2. I haven't found any major
problems doing this. For the record, I also have gcc 2.7.2.3 installed
for building stable/bug-report kernels.

Basically, you can use whatever you like to compile your kernels, but if
you have problems and want to send a bug report to the kernel
developers, don't bother unless the kernel was built with gcc 2.7.2.
The developer will most likely tell you to go away and rebuild the
kernel with that version of gcc and retest it before they'll listen to
your problems.

There is definately a problem building kernels older than 2.2.10/2.2.11,
and you'll need to add -fno-strict-aliasing to the CFLAGS in the
makefile to get the kernel to build with gcc 2.95. This is because
between egcs and the changeover to gcc 2.95, the default option for
strict aliasing was changed from off to on, and the kernel won't built
with it on.

 I would like to try compiling the new 2.2.13 on my Celeron using gcc
 2.95.2.

Go for it.

use F8. How about debian? Is there any other way to get to the command line
and re-run xf86config? I tried using my boot disk, but this too tried to
start x. I got into this trouble because I do not know my systems settings.
It is a vga monitor. I thought I set the resolution quite low. Thank you
for any help you can give.


at lilo

boot: linux single

that will get you to single user mode where you should be able to run 
the X configurator if not then cd into /etc/rc2.d and mv SXXYdm to 
KXXYdm then X will not start automatically for runlevel 2. then you 
can boot normally without X.


I think you could also mv your /etc/XF86Config somewhere else 
temporarily so that the startup scripts think that X is unconfigured 
and forgo starting it.

 type 'killall xdm' and then run xf86config


Why do U want to do a 'kill' when U can stop the daemon 'xdm' ?
Typing '/etc/init.d/xdm stop' at the CLI is a better go.  Do an
'xf86config' after that.  Restart the daemon 'xdm' after testing out
with the X -probeonly test, by typing '/etc/init.d/xdm start'.

Debian offers very elegant solutions for many problems.

How can I find specs on my monitor?

If you connect it to the first serial, /dev/ttyS0. To the second,
/dev/ttyS1

A way to simplify is make a symbolic link to the device, creating a

Sed script

Hi

Not debian related but i need help nonetheless.

i need to extract the number 997841138254, or any other number from that
position, from an hl7 file.  The file will look like this :

MSH...OBR|0001||997841138254|..F

I can use OBR as the starting point of the search and then use the | to
move to the begginning of the number...

What would be the best way of doing this.. maybe i can use a vi script to
search and extract the number for me.  I don't know how to select a segment
of a line and write that to a file though.. i am not too familiar with sed

Re: dpkg problem

Ok, two choices:

1) Open up /var/lib/dpkg/status, and find the package entries for libc6 and

2) Try getting the slink _and_ potato dpkg .deb's, then use dpkg-deb to unpack
   them so you can try to get a working dpkg.

If you can with handle the downtime, I'de prefer to see 1, but if you need to

get the system back up quickly, and you are confortable woring with a raw tar
of the binaries, then go with 2.

keyboard hassles with Debian from HP-UX

1999-10-22 Thread Hamish Moffatt

I'm having some keyboard hassles accessing a debian system from HP-UX 10.20.
I am running rxvt on HP-UX, which requires me to run stty erase '^?'
to get backspace working (otherwise only c-backspace works).

When I then telnet to a Debian 2.1 box, backspace works OK -- except
in some programs (noticeably urlview, so probably most slang programs at
least) backspace acts as delete, and c-backspace is required to actually
delete the previous character.

Is there a way to fix this? Something I can change in my HP-UX rxvt settings?

Re: fetchmail, sendmail, and mutt and sending mail with the correct a ddress

1999-10-22 Thread Brian Lavender
If you installed sendmail as a package from the Debian distribution,
then you need to add the below line to your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file
and run the program sendmailconfig as root

MASQUERADE_AS(ntrnet.net)dnl

This should produce a line in your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf which looks like

DMntrnet.net

The sendmailconfig should restart sendmail, and everything should
work.

Postgresql Beginner

1999-10-22 Thread Bob Bernstein
This novice is confused by the role of the user 'postgres'. It seems I can't
do anything with this package unless I first su to root user, then su again to
'postgres' user. 

I have created a db, such as 'mydatabase,' but I feel like I'm missing
something. Surely there's a way to allow an ordinary user to use a
Postgresql database. 

One symptom of my ignorance is that in trying to run the KDE client (KMySql)
when I try to create a form I get a check permissions error message.

I would gladly be directed to a usable FAQ for beginners. The Postgresql
HOW-TO is long on philosophy and testing, but lacking in basic intro kind of

Try gnomba or gnosamba

search for the package you are interestet for at 

  http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

and after you got (for example for modutils/unstable) to the page 

  http://www.debian.org/Packages/unstable/base/modutils.html

there is at the end of the page a link to 'View the bug report'

solved: dvips -d 2400 How??? default printer does not support 2400dpi

1999-10-22 Thread esoR ocsirF
Hello all,
I am the original poster. After receiving a tip from an old mentor of
mine I tried setting up dvips with texconfig and set the printer in 2
seperate locations. It seems to be working now but dvips now is very
verbose when ps'ing a dvi file (not complaining though :)

Thanks for all the suggestions. I really like the texconfig frontend, it
makes setting things up considerably easier than tinkering in multiple
config files.

Identd behind IP Masq?

1999-10-22 Thread Harlan Crystal
Greetings,

I recently reinstalled my system, and I previously 
was able to run identd while behind IP masquerading.

I've installed the midentd package (identd with 
ip masq support) yet when I attempt to connect 
to irc servers, it will say  Got Ident response 
yet still the server will not allow me in claiming 
I need to install identd.  Am I missing something 
important to get this working?


thanks,

Re: ssh2, tcpdump

It works! Thanks. I already have af_packet as a module and you are right you

Re: Sed script

1999-10-22 Thread Joakim Svensson

Hi all,

i need to extract the number 997841138254, or any other number from that
position, from an hl7 file.  The file will look like this :

MSH...OBR|0001||997841138254|..F

I can use OBR as the starting point of the search and then use the | to
move to the begginning of the number...

Ok here is an idea how to do it in awk.

awk -v FS=| '{ if ( $1 ~ /OBR/ ) print $4; }'

Could ofcourse be made more advanced if the mumber of | preceeding ORB
is changing.

Runs on the command line or inside vim (vi).
In vim:
:%! awk -v FS=| '{ if ( $1 ~ /OBR/ ) print $4; }'

Hope it helped

Best regards
Joakim

In your .emacs you should insert at least:

(setq TeX-auto-save t); Enable parse on save
(setq TeX-parse-self t)   ; Enable parse on load

and BIBTeX and refTeX (for \cite and \ref usage) support:

(autoload 'turn-on-bib-cite bib-cite) ; BIBTeX-support
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-bib-cite)
(setq bib-switch-to-buffer-function 'switch-to-buffer-other-window)

(autoload 'turn-on-reftex reftex RefTeX Minor Mode nil)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex)

If you use the ispell checker (I seldomly do):

(setq ispell-dictionary deutsch8)

All that didn't change from xemacs20 to 21. You can read about these

There was an article some days ago on LinuxToday or Slashdot (not sure)
about the latest version of Mozilla.  The gist seemed (to me) to say
that Mozilla is starting to look real good, but its still not ready for
primetime.  Whether you have success or failure with it depends on what
websites you want to see.

Now NS 4.7 is a different matter.  Whether its any good, depends on who
you ask.  :-)  For some it has problems, including crashing, but for
others it works like a charm.  Personally (Communicator 4.7), its never
crashed on me, and seems to be better than previous versions, but YMMV.

/etc/nologin when exists only root will be permitted to login all

I don't know if you are referring to remote users only or everyone, 
but nologin affects everyone regardless of where they come from, and 
root and never allowed to login from anywhere but the physical 
console (tty1-6)


if you don't want a user to login anymore permanently delete their account.

you should of course have a normal account that you use for day to 
day activity never use root for that.


the other options for denying some users access or access to certain 
services would be to use PAM but I will leave that to a excercise for 
the reader.

 I am using potato.

I dislike Netscape more and more with each new version. I am using 4.7
with Potato and find it unstable. If you open another window, and later
close one of the windows, netscape just disappears. It usus inordinate
amounts of memory and causes my swapfile to grow when I have already
128MB of RAM. I suspect a memory leak. It sometimes freezes, sometimes
takes ages before it will let you type anything into the url box etc..
etc.. It really is the one app which lets Linux down and is the app I
have to use most. As we say in the UK, it is pants.

If 4.06 works OK for you and is relatively stable, keep it. I am waiting
*very* impatiently for the Linux version of Opera to be released. OK, I
will have to pay for it, but it will worth it to say goodbye to
Netscape.

BTW, I have tried Navigator and Communicator as Debian packages, as a
tar.gz using the Debian installer and without. Pants however I install
it.

The other Thing is, how can I get a full FTP-Mirror (SLINK stable + src) ???

This Mirror will be for the Inter LUG f.G. in Strasbourg (in creation).

My LAN supports up to 2 MBit and if anyone can Help me...

I consider all libc6 versions of netscape broken.

It runs reasonably stable with:
- the libc5 version and the old compatibility xlibs
  (netscape-smotif-47 revision = 14)
- libXpm.so.4.6 (i.e. an older one than that usually available)
