Donde esta giflib3?
Hola. Estoy buscando un paquete. En concreto el que contiene la libreria giflib3. ¿Sabeis donde lo puedo encontrar? Es raro que no sea facil de localizar, y mas aun cuando ciertos paquetes (como imlib) dependen de dicha libreria. Por lo demas, ya he pasado a libc6 (con el scritp autoup) y la verdad es que veo cambios importantes, como por ejemplo que no compilo bien los fuentes, etc ... pero bueno, supongo que eso al principio es normal, hasta que tenga el CD y pueda actualizar todas las librerias de desarrollo que necesite.

RE: Linux system Instalation - CRC Error
I would recommend using loadlin to boot directly from harddisk in this case. All you need to have is a small DOS partition which you can repartition later. But keep a DOS partition is not a bad idea in case anything goes wrong. Just my 2 cents.

Even when I use disk that are formatted perfectly in win95, I still get error during installing. Something retrying works. But the easiest way out is to get a new box of floppy. You would need 9 disks, about a box. BTW, what's the root disk for? I don't think it was used for installation. Sounds like you there may be a media defect on the floppy you used for the rescue disk.

ppp PAP question
I have 2 machines (well, 1 machine 1 isp). I'd like to use PAP between them. in pap-secrets I have: wakko lwts... wakko bristol ... lwts is my computer at work bristol is the name I received from my ISP. Doesn't matter how I invoke pppd, the results are the same. It will always use the first line (I'm using the default pap-secrets file. the only mods were removing the entry at the end and replacing it with the 2 above). The line I used to invoke pppd: pppd connect 'chat atdt### CONNECT' user wakko /dev/modem 115200 I see no other way to get pppd to send the correct user name. Obviously, I'm not going to use my machine name and I'm not going to have my machine name as my ISP login name. It seems that it can't get the remote host name or something... I don't fully (or half way) understand PAP. Any ideas? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

update system malfunctions
Hello debian users! my problem description is as follows: I couldn't wait for the beta and the 2.00.34 kernel and the fixed hamm packs that came with it. so I installed the base system and 2.00.33, and started DLding packages. No, said dselect, you need newer base system to run many of the packs. Ok, I got a newer rescue, drivers, and base2_0.tgz . I've loaded the rescue disk and simply selected the devices, installed the kernel and the base and created a boot disk as was adviced (and created a default boot manager). On reboot, I got a nice LI When I tried to use the boot disk after a reboot, it simply took milenia to load (much longer than it takes usually, and seemed to halt completely), so I had to reset. Now, I did the rescue process all over as before, used the custom boot disk and real problems began. First of all, I was asked to set a root password. I tried all the posible passwords, it agreed and wrote them to disk! but then asked me to write another one. I simply couldn't exit passwd and started another VT, I killed the original VT, and from the new VT started passwd and it worked. After a reboot I discovered that the system logins automatically as root! But that's not all: Programs are missing files, sometimes only minor like readme 's, daemons are not loaded etc. looks like a filesystem failure. What's my next move? Is it a bug? Is it something I did wrong? By the way, what is the passwords file? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

PCI PNP was 56k Modems
The PCI modems are fairly new, be on the look out for sound cards too(ISA will eventually disappear from new motherboards thus the PCI versions). I decided to go with this to free up a ISA slot... I only have two, and one is ISA/PCI slot(shares the same case slot)! There is little doubt in my mind that Linux would support PCI modems, the only real deference is the hardware-level protocol they use(unless it like win hardware). All that is needed is the PCI support, but then I run into the problem with Plug and Play. If linux doesn't support PCI PNP, I can't find the card, let alone use it. If shouldn't be too hard to add support for.. As few additions to the pnpdumb detection code, and isapnp implementation to make PCI card exist. I'm definitely going to speak with Diamond about this(to check for special or non-standard uart/driver implementations). Philip Thiem [EMAIL PROTECTED] ISAPNP won't pick it up because ISAPNP only works for ISA card. Your card is PCI. I've never heard of a PCI modem before. I can't say whether or not any kernel supports or doesn't support it. The Hardware-HOWTO in my beta Hamm system doesn't indicate any support for PCI modems. If the device still acts like a 16550A UART then you can probably configure it just by getting the IO and IRQ info and passing that to setserial. If it doesn't then kernel support would have to be written. Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Swapping Hard Drives on the fly
Greets, If you wanted a hot-swappable setup, you might try setting up some sort of ramdisk root fs with the ide driver compiled as a module and all your important stuff (/usr, /var etc) mounted off your ide drive, you could then drop to single user mode, umount the ide devices, rmmod the driver and maybe have a chance. Maybe I neglected to mention that it isn't actually the boot device. I have /dev/hdc1 mounted as /usr/local/rem, set as 'noauto' in /etc/fstab, so it's not as if it should actually be trying to read or write to it anyway, should it? damon -- Damon Muller | Did a large procession wave their torches ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | As my head fell in the basket, Network Administrator | And was everyone dancing on the casket...

The current state of the package is that it is unpacked and should be present on your disk. If you have never installed it before, it needs to create a new database - this is the step it has failed on. However, I see that this was a 'replacement postgresql': had you created a database with an earlier version? To find out what is going wrong with initdb: Edit /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/initdb and add the line `set +x' after the first line.

By the way, which password will be assigned to postmaster, during the installation? If postgres is installed from base-passwd; it needs (I think) to be enabled by assigning it a password. If it does not exist when postgresql's preinst script runs, it is created with `adduser --disabled-password'.

synchronizing console, xterm and rxvt using bash.
A recent blow up with new xtide version not working as I expected led to the revelation (should I have known?) that rxvt is not sourcing /etc/profile. This led to one of the environment variables being set not as usually, and the program acted like it was broken, when it wasn't (a tribute to Dave Flater: it hardly ever acts broken...). This leads me to believe that the flakiness of the x consoles I use---rxvt and xterm---and have lived with is not tolerable, in two ways: in the matter of not sourcing /etc/profile, and in the variable behavior with bash keystrokes. Ever since when, I have been bothered by that xterms and other X11 shells etc. don't really act like bash on the console. Now as ever. Although rxvt does the keys basically right, and under the right circumstances (TM) can do readline, in some debian package releases. Recently there seems to have been another change, but now I guess it's working. Xterm I cannot get to act normally in this way... Bash readline, etc., doesn't work at all. Xterm is better in some other respects. The bottom line is that these two windows, the best of the bunch as far as I last determined (some time ago), don't work the same as a console.

E.g. I think it tried to remove something that depended on Perl, but I had perl installed, or something... dependency problems .. libwww-perl depends on Perl, but perl is not installed. ... libnet Anyway, there was no clear indication if all was OK, if it was a comment, or if some remedial action was needed (later)., 2) After update, it says now use dselect to upgrade the rest of your system, then reboot. ?? How do I know what to upgrade? I would like to say; whatever needs an upgrade, if I have it installed, do it. Instead, I had to go through dselect, look at hundreds of packages, try to remember which I had selected, and decide if they need update. Am I missing something here? 3) I find a lot of small changes, logs moved from (non-existent) /var/adm, pppd argument changes, ppp setup changes, etc.. is there a lost of the changes, structural and functional?

Re: Samba: password for mapping network drives
Brian: I had similar problems for a long time and was able to fix the problem by specifying on the smbclient line user name, password, and workgroup from which the password server is serving. For example, to mount W95 drives onto the Linux machine I give smbclient machine_id\\service -U uid%passwd -W workgroup On the W95 side, to mount a Linux drive onto the W95 machine you must issue the mount command (see DOS or W95 docs if you can find any). The entry is controlled by the settings in the /etc/smb.conf file on the Linux machine. Below is a modified (for security) version of my /etc/smb.conf file (comments welcomed from other samba users as smb.conf is tricky) [global] announce as = Win95 client code page = 437 domain logons = no hide dot files = no local master = no security = USER wins server = iii.kkk.lll.mmm wins proxy = no wins support = no printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes guest account = nobody invalid users = root hosts allow = iii.kkk.lll localhost hosts equiv = /etc/hosts.equiv log file = /dev/null max log size = 10 debuglevel = 0 workgroup = workgroup preferred master = no os level = 0 server string = Samba %v running Linux on %h browseable = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories path = /home/%u public = no writable = yes create mode = 0700 [cdrom] comment = NEC Multispon 4X cd-rom path = /mnt/cdrom public = yes writable = no create mode = 0700 [printers] comment = all printers path = /tmp print command = lpr -h -r -P%p %s postscript = no printable = yes public = yes -- /--\ |James D.

Re: Upgrade problems
When Tod Detre wrote, I replied: Are you using apt as your access method? I've started using this and specifying a list of sites to use for access and am delighted with the results. I recently ran dselafter not having done so for an extended period. I downloaded something (I forget just what) and dselect automatically brought down ~25-30 applications which had been upgraded since last I ran dselect. It took several re-starts to get the required packages (my ISP hangs up after six hours) but other than restarting ppp (which I could let diald or something handle weere I a bit less paranoid) and hitting RETURN a few times in dselect, things went swimmingly. Two or three files in parallel from different mirrors kept my 33600 modem pulling ~4kb/s - Nice job!! Ok I upgraded to Hamm, but now dselevt is unhappy. It's probubly my config error but I don't know what. When ever I try to install stuff it wants to upgrade alot of stuff (expected it wants to put newer versions on.) but when it trys to get the file it can't find them.

You do need to install certain packages in a specific order, however, to avoid conflicts when upgrading to libc6. The easiest way is to use the autoup.sh script, found on http://debian.vicnet.net.au/autoup/ and at: http://www.taz.net.au/autoup/ It would also be helpful to read the libc5-libc6 mini-HOWTO, available at http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html For a more complete discussion, see http://www.debian.org/news#19980624 Bob Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DM42nh http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

debian-brazilian
Sorry for the huge cross-posting, but I figure that not everyone subscribes to -user and -devel, and I had to try to catch everyone. Please followup in -devel only - use the Reply-to. So, how many Brazilian users/developers are there? (developers=3 IIRC) I would really appreciate to start a debian-brazilian list and a project to adapt debian to Brazilian Portuguese; what made me think it's already time was a note about someone packaging an ibrazilian dictionary for ispell (hadn't seen the upload tough]. For those who don't know, there is a Brazilian version of RedHat (run by a company). As people sometimes say in #debian, if I wanted to buy from a company I'd be using Windows ;-) Now serious, they're doing quite a good job of translating stuff and all the work they did is available for us (they said so). Now I'd like to have a really free (Debian) option.

Re: awe64, how?
Your friend probably wants is Takashi Iwai's AWE driver. If s/he's running hamm, it's available as the awe-drv package - otherwise it can be downloaded from http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/midi.html. The driver includes a pretty good description of what needs to be done... also look at http://www.ict.pwr.wroc.pl/ftp/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini/Soundblaster-AWE64 Feel free to give your friend my email address, if any help is needed once those documents have been looked through.

suggest a backup media
I'm unsure of what backup media I should go with for my Linux system. I have a 4 gig harddrive. I'm thinking about CD-R or Travan-4 tape backup. I'm pulling hairs, though, trying to determine which is better (for me, anyway). I'd like to go with DAT, but the drives are too expensive. There are scsi CD-R drives for around $400 or so, and the HP T4 (Travan 4) internal scsi tape unit is about the same as for price (I think). I cannot afford to go any higher. CD-R seems a better route, with the low media costs, and that most cd-roms can read my backups. Retrieval would also be considerably faster. But, I read a long FAQ about CD-R, and the Linux Cd-writing howto, and CD burning makes me nervous because it's so sensitive. I'm worried cd backups may fail, and my computer is probably pretty useless while I'm burning. One 4 gig Travan-4 tape would pretty much do me, and the process is a bit simpler. Plus, I don't think there's too much of a difference in write speed for CD-R and scsi Travan-4. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Perhaps a link to a backup comparison site or something? (Since this topic has probably been beaten to death!). Thanks! Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
