A historia do site e a seguinte: No quinto periodo do curso de ciencia da computacao aqui na UFMG, temos que implementar mudancas no kernel do linux, como um trabalho pratico da disciplina Sistemas Operacionais. Acontece, que toda vez e sempre a mesma coisa: mudanca na politica de escalonamento, e troca de paginas da memoria virtual. Foi dai que surgiu a ideia do site, propomos ao professor, Sergio Campos, a implementacao de um site que ajude os alunos na realizacao destas mudancas. O professor achou tao bom o resultado que nos liberou um dominio aqui no DCC. Acontece que a elaboracao teve um efeito colateral, e agradavel: Os alunos deste semestre realizarao alteracoes mais significativas no kernel, e os resultados virao no final do periodo e serao expostos no site. Com isso teremos mais informacoes sobre o kernel e ajuda na implementacao de Device drivers etc. O melhor do site, a meu ver, e' divulgar o linux, apresentando uma ideia de como e a interface grafica do KDE, principalmente porque a maioria das pessoas so ouviram falar do Linux, mas tem pouca informacao a respeito de seu ambiente grafico, que e' de suma importancia para o usuario comum. A repercussao sobre o site esta sendo muito favoravel, parece que ta pintando ate uma nota na revista Veja, o que ja e bastante para as nossas pretensoes iniciais. Esperamos que as opinioes de pessoas exteriores ao DCC, como a sua, sensibilize ainda mais nossos professores para que o DCC aqui da UFMG possa atuar de maneira mais significativa na divulgacao, desenvolvimento e documentacao do Linux. Muito obrigado mesmo. rubinho/ ===

Re: Debian in Ultra 5
See my other message. I got mach64 and have an error starting X. Thanks, PH Quoting Anders Hammarquist ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I cant get X to work. I installed Debian in 2 Sparc 4, 1 Sparc 5 and 1 Sparc 20 before. All other machines I got X working. Had the same problems here . I guess it is up to the PCI-based hardware, Xsun24 is just the wrong server . Solaris uses the M640 device, I guess it's a Mach64 based chip but perhaps I am wrong (I am relatively new to Sparc Linux). If I start the server directly I get a SEGV .

Hi all, let give me my 2 cents about the talk about PCs vs Sparc systems.

Would be very good. :) I cannot to change/upgrade hardware easily.

It seems that you don't have a window managerr or a xterm installed. In such a case, X will exit immediately. The new xbase package has now been splitted into several packages, among them are xterm and twm (the wondow manager) packages, so you have to intalled them separately. The advantage is that you can install a different window manager and a replacement of xterm (such as rxvt). Also check the file /etc/X11/window-managers. By default it contains nothing so even if you have a window manager installed, it may not be activated. --- PHAM Dinh Tuan | e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Laboratoire de Modelisation et Calcul | Tel: +33 4 76 51 44 23 BP 53, 38041 Grenoble cedex (France) | Fax: +33 4 76 63 12 63 ---
Re: XWindow in Sparc4
... Hi Anders and other Sparc Debian users, the problem of csh is critical to me because everyone in my uni use csh in Solaris and are wanting to change to Linux but there is this problem: $ csh csh: Symbol `_IO_2_1_stdin_' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking % exit $ If anyone can fix this will be good. Reggards, Paulo Henrique Quoting Anders Hammarquist ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Thank you! It did the trick. Now what about csh error? [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~$ csh csh: Symbol `_IO_2_1_stdin_' has different size in shared object, +consider re-linking [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~$ That means that your csh is linked an older libc (assuming you have the latest +version of everything). The package needs to be recompiled for this message to +go away. Generally, it doesn't seem to cause any problems though. Another solution is to replace csh with tcsh (since tcsh is compiled with a +recent enough libc and thus doens't complain). Regards, /Anders
Re: XWindow in Sparc4
Hi all, I installed Debian Sparc in 2 Sparc/4. One is running X and the other not :( The packages are the same in both. I made the kbd device in the two. When I type startx the following error occurs: No screen founds. I have another problem with csh: $ csh -csh: Symbol `_IO_2_1_stdin_' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking These bugs are important to elimin because I'introducing Linux in a envorinment of Sun running Solaris. If doesnt work very well I'll have to return to Slowlaris :( Have a nice day,Paulo Henrique Quoting christian mock ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.1 12/23/97 To: Paulo Henrique Baptista de Oliveira [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: XWindow in Sparc4 In-Reply-To: Your message of Sat, 23 Jan 1999 20:00:08 -0400.

Anyone has Netscape installed in Debian Sparc release? Have a nice day,Paulo Henrique
Re: Debian Sparc installations
Hi Eric, I installed Debian Sparc/Linux in two Sparc 4. Until yesterday cant get X running. Thanks to you, I'm running X now. Great! :) Count with me to report any problems in Debian Sparc. I just loved running Linux into these old Sparc. Great work guys. Have a nice day,Paulo Henrique Quoting Eric Delaunay ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): John Chapman wrote: This weekend I installed (in a fairly minimal configuration) Debian Linux on two Sparcs: one LX and one SS2. I've got a few questions, several comments, and don't know whether one should file bug reports for a work in progress, so I'll post this here, in the hope that some kind soul will shove me in the right direction. Most things in the installation worked quite well. There were a couple of problems with the SS2, though; I had put a brand new drive into it, and (perhaps because of this?) the installation program didn't want to partition and format the drive, but kept bouncing me back to the select a color or mono monitor screen. I ran fdisk and mke2fs from the vc2, did network config by hand, and copied the files over onto one of the partitions via an nfs mount, but the installation program still wouldn't let me mount the partitions. Finally I guessed that I should mount /dev/sda1 to /target, and everything suddenly worked. I'm quite at a loss to explain why this can be done by hand, but not by the menu interface. (Incidentally, this was with the tftpboot image.) A possible bug in the installation program? For sure :-(( The installation program is providing its own fdisk parser (libfdisk it is). It may fail on garbage in the partition sector of the disk... I didn't experienced with this problem and I don't have time to fix it now. Sorry. The workaround is to run fdisk manually then the installation program should stop to segfault after the system has reread the partition table of your hard drive. Are you sure you needed to run all the steps by hand ? The floppy installation on the LX didn't have this problem (but, then, it had a previously-used hard drive.) I didn't try out all of the disks; at the install from a mounted partition point, I did an nfs mount of the base set, and continued from there. There was no long delay in searching for the drivers or base set at all. However, both on the SS2 and the LX, the insert drivers into the kernel step fails; the program complains about not being able to find sed (I counldn't find it, either), and, as a result, nothing on the drivers floppy gets added. I'm not sure if it should, yet, It will be fixed in the next bootdisks release. and I don't miss much except the serial ports, which don't get configured at all. Perhaps someone can give me some tips. Other problems: more is immediately broken, since the ncurses package is a more recent version, and there is no package with the old version still available. I use less all the time, anyway, but this may also have broken other things in the utils package. I can't reinstall it, since the package depends upon the old ncurses library; should I just make a symlink for now? Or recompile them? gcc and friends seem to work OK (I tried them out once on frotz), which is a very good sign indeed. In fact, util-linux is out-dated and should be recompiled. # dpkg -I util-linux_2.7.1-3.deb ... Pre-Depends: libc6 (= 2.0.91), ncurses3.4 ... Since I was downloading packages ad libitum, I didn't try running dselect or apt, so I can't report (or complain) about them. I have noticed a couple of little things which need fixing, though: jed requires jed-common; the Packages listing states that this is in binary-sparc, but it's in binary-all. The same applies to tetex-base, and several others. Not a problem at all because all binary-all packages are symlinked to each binary-arch tree. # cd slink/main/binary-sparc/editors # ls -l jed-common_0.98.7-14.deb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 Jan 21 21:25 jed-common_0.98.7-14.deb - ../../binary-all/editors/jed-common_0.98.7-14.deb X fails with complaints about the lack of /dev/kbd. Is this something which gets made with a proper dselect installation? I would run makedev, but I've noticed that the Other Distribution assigns /dev/kbd the major number 11, minor 0, which is scd0 with Debian, and I'd rather leave it alone until I know what the Right Thing To Do is. And there's probably some marvelous Debian package which sets up everything correctly, anyway :-) Aargh :-(( In fact I lose the fixes I made to MAKEDEV to handle sparc specific devices for the base system. I fixed the stuff in place, so it was overwritten by a new makedev package when I did an upgrade and I completely forgot to send a patch to the maintainer. Grrr :-(( I will rewrite it for the next bootdisks release. They will provide /dev/kbd, /dev/fb* /dev/sunmouse
Great installation on a Sparcstation 4 (some questions tought)
Hi Debian Sparc users I installed Debian in a SparcStation 4. I already have telnet, g++ and other tools. I have some questions: 1) I dont have the minimal imagination to setup the X in a Sun Sparc 4. My only experience is with PC's. I installed Xsun and XSun24. When I try to run startx the following error occurs: Fatal server error: Cannot open /dev/kbd, error 2 xinit: unexpected signal 2 2) kbd and kbd-data cannot be installed together. 3) Good work guys. I love the tinny font in Sparc console :) Have a nice day,Paulo Henrique
