Re: linuxero entre infieles
Jose: Dejame corregirme, Dselect no es malo sino muy confuso. Es confuso en lo siguiente: Debian 2.0 y posteriores poseen mas de 1500 paquetes. El dselect fue disenado para trabajar con pocos paquetes ( me comentaron que con unos 200 o menos ) Al dselect le falta submenus para distribuir esos 1500 paquetes: por ejemplo : Pueden haber dos alternativas : menu select submenuweb submen lib submenux11 o puede ser asi : menu select submenubase submenuoption submenuStandar ( Std ) submenuImp submenubroken de esta forma no estan concentrados todos los paquetes en un gran menu sino en varios submenus haciendo mas facil el manejo de los paquetes Tambien el dselect necesita Mejoras ayudas, claras explicaciones de que hay en cada menu. He notado una falla en el Install de dselect cuando ocuure un error que dice algo asi: error 1 Press Return Le doy de nuevo a Install y vuelve a empezar desde el principio y no empieza desde donde ocurrio el error ( ojo: no toque para nada el select al darle la segunda vez ) Me fije muy bien cual fue el paquetes del problema ( el error que dio fue aparentemente un error de lectura al momento del unpack en el paquete x.deb ) Al darle a install de nuevo vuelve a empezar el unpack desde el inicio y al llegar al paquete problematico , lo lee sin problemas. Dedusco que lo que ocurrio fue un error de lectura de mi unidad de cd-rom de 36 x Copio todo el Cd a mi disco duro y no tengo mas esos errores de lectura. Logre hacer trabajar el xwindows pero no me trabaja bien en otro e-mail mio explico claramente el problema ( de lo cual desduco que el culpable es la lib6 y el Xwindows de Hamm ) Yo nunca he trabajado con GUI y ventanitas y todo esos adorno en la instalacion de las distribuciones de linux en general Yo empeze en el mundo de la PC con MS-DOS y me manejaba muy bien con el poderoso NC ( Norton Commander ) y el NU ( Norton Utilities ) MC es un clon para linux de NC A mi me gusta tener el Xwindows para poder correr el Netscape , poder usar el applixware o el staroffice , jugar el xtetris. Y como se que mi maquina corre bien el X windows no puedo estar sin mi afterstep.

Dpkg serious troubles.
I decided to use dselect (prime time) to update my debian install a few other things. (teTeX and apache... wanted to try them out) A 49megs download was awaiting me. I left it alone most of the time, but used some bandwidth here and there. I managed to crash the keyboard (would not respond to *any* keypress) and windowmaker (0.20.2. The screen was shifted by one inch to the left). The problem is that whatever package I try to install I get and error telling me that md5sum gave a bad output 'insert toaster's serial number here'. What that means and how can I fix it? The consequences are pretty bad so far: I'm out of Xserver! Christian Lavoie UIN: 947212 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I was wondering whether it was possible to overlay text on to an image in

that. I think I've seen it done before, but of course I can't find the
website now.
You could use style sheets for this. Just define a style such as
style
.foo {
margin-top: -5em
}
/style
in the header and put a div class=footext/div below the image.
yup, i think this is what he wanted, and i think it is more related to layers
than style sheets (although they are so tightly wrapped who knows). either
way, you're going to want to know some javascript. if you're using netscape,

Re: cd-rom problems
Hi! Mike Fetherston ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I've been having troubles installing debian on my system.

My cdrom is an LG Electronics/Goldstar 8160B 16X IDE on the secondary IDE channel as master and it is all alone on the cable. If I create boot diskettes using resc1440.bin, I can use my cd-rom. From chatting on #debian on irc.debian.org it seems to be a kernel problem. Is there any way of fixing this so that when i boot from my hard drive i can gain access to my cd-rom to complete the installation?

Is this likely to be OK? Yes, the S3 VIRGE chipset is supported. * The video card is an AGP model. All I can find in the HOWTO and the XFree86 notes is that some AGP cards work. Will this one??!? I don't know. Try going to http://www.xfree86.org and see if they have anything about your AGP card. * The sound card is a Creative Labs PCI 64 card. Is that likely to work? It's a plug and pray card - does that cause me problems? The current stable linux kernels don't have support for PnP. There is a package called 'isapnptools' that can initialize PnP cards, but only on ISA bus cards; yours is a PCI card. Before giving up, try checking your computer's BIOS program. It may be able to initialize PnP cards at bootup by itself. My BIOS (AMI) has this feature (which saves me much grief). The rest of the spec seems unlikely to be a problem - Pentium II 333MHz, BX 100MHz motherboard, 64M RAM, 4.3G EIDE UDMA disk, 32x CD ROM (IDE).

Unkillable Process?
I use Wine 0.0.980315-1 on my hamm system to run Forte's Agent newsreader, which frequently crashes, locking up my X server. When this happens, I go back to a console and use the ps a command to identify the PID then kill it, which usually returns my system to normal. Just a little while ago it happened again, but when I typed ps a I did not see the Wine/Agent PID even though Agent was still frozen in my X screen. I tried various arguments to ps in addition to a, but was unable to obtain the PID and could not kill Wine/Agent, so I finally resorted to a reboot to restore order.

Re: Slow mail delivery
Hi .. This has been a problem for myself aswell. I used to run a few mailing lists (500+ people on each) with smartlist and smail. Things worked great and as an email came in it was sent out to the list vary quickly. Since I have upgraded to sendmail 8.8.8-20 i'm almost afraid to start the larger lists back up. After the mail comes in it sits in the /var/spool/mqueue directory for about 5 minutes then can take up to another 10 minutes to forward it to a list of 50 people. I believe it also queues all out-going mail aswell. This is not good. I have been told that there is an option to not queue incoming mail but no-one has been able to tell me what it is and i have not been able to find it in the docs. If anyone can tell me (and obviously a few others) how can we speed up the processing and sending of mail. Opinions of changing from sendmail to smail of qmail are not a solution or option. Any help to sort this problem is very much needed. -Rob On Sat, 21 Nov 1998 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm reposting this message since I've never seen my original come through: I'm having problems with mail delivery on my local box.

Re: problems with locate
There is a second possibility. The file you are looking for is in a directory which is not readable and executable by world. updatedb is run by nobody, which doesn't have any real permissions. Running updatedb as root will allow everyone's files to be listed, even if the directory are not world readable. There is a version of updatedb which is being investigated which records all files, with permissions. The corresponding locate only releases information which is accessible by the user. Of course, the database is larger. -- Kevin Dalley [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is larger than 1024, and may cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software form other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Wrong CHS: no hopes again unless you use expert mode but I think that you should stay away from it. i try many operations on this HD, that's why there is many tries with fdisk ... Describing WHAT you did could have been helpful to understand what happened. Anyway if jumpering the drive as master (or single) don't solve the problem you can indicate the right parameters during the boot or in lilo.conf. In your case you'll have to type hdb=16383,16,63 (well, give the same numbers than what your BIOS says) -- Laurent PICOULEAU [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: dammit (netscape)
If nothing else, try installing 3.0 :) There shouldn't be a conflict there. Also, manually edit the staus file to remove any indications netscape is installed. rick --

Davide Bolcioni [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The concept seems very interesting to me, although I wonder if it is within the scope of LSB; I had the notion that its effort was concerned with standardizing existing development approaches. Probably it's not [it being TenDRA]. On the other hand, having available tools for checking conformance with LSB would be valuable. On the other hand, however, the above approach as far as I can see does not address one of my major concerns, namely the fact that in a library function there is more than the signature. Absolutely. As a trivial example: what does malloc(0) return? I suppose what my real point was: if the open source culture was such that it was normal to provide a reasonably abstract declaration of APIs to libraries, then probably people would want to specify their semantics too. (But the semantics would be informal, I suspect. After all, how could it practically be otherwise?) I'm not really suggesting that TenDRA provides anything really compelling. It provides a syntax that's a bit more abstract that ordinary C header files, and some nice tools for fiddling with these files.
