Re: CVS tras firewall
Se me ocurre que quizás puedas poner en un ordenador en el que tengas acceso un reenviador de puertos de forma que cuando te conectes al puerto 80 lo redirija a otro (a otra máquina por ejemplo). El concepto es sencillo y seguro que existen implementaciones por ahí (no lo he buscado nunca), programarlo no es complicado, y hay mucha gente que seguro que se habrá visto en el mismo problema. En realidad es una tontería filtrar el tráfico por puertos, porque cualquier que sepa puede montar un telnet (por ejemplo) en el puerto 80 de una máquina. Busca algo así como port forwarder a ver si consigues algo, sino pide que te pongan un SOCKS HOST en tu organización, un host al que determinados ordenadores pueden conectarse para hacer conexiones con puertos distintos de los que corta el cortafuegos (el SOCKS host y el cortafuegos deberían ser la misma máquina).

Re: LILO y fat32 ¿suele dar problemas?
Hola! Juan Carlos Muro wrote: Hola a todos. Primero FELIZ NAVIDAD para todos los de la lista. Igualmente. Bueno, ahora una pregunta que tengo por ahi. Resulta que el otro dia me fui a instalar Debian a un amigo y tuve un problema serio al instalar LILO. Parece ser que este muchacho tenia FAT32 en la primera particion. No hay ningún problema con la fat32 y LILO (al menos yo no le he tenido en todas las instalaciones que he hecho). Así que el problema debe de ser otro. Al instalar LILO, e intentar rearrancar el ordenador, no hubo manera de entrar en la particion de windows. Linux arrancaba perfecto (para mi habria valido con eso, pero mi amigo no sabe todavia prescindir de windows). La pregunta es ¿sera que LILO no funciona todavia con FAT32? O puede ser que el kernel generico que viene con la Debian nada mas instalarla no tiene incluido todavia la vfat y por eso me da problemas? El LILO no tiene que ver con el kernel (este sólo se carga una vez que has elegido la opción de arrancar Linux). El fichero /etc/lilo.conf, yo creo que estara bien, porque es practicamente igual al de mi ordenador. Las particiones estan asi: hda1 --- fat32 hda4 --- fat32 hda5 --- ext2 hda6 --- swap Eso vistas con fdisk de Linux. Parece ser que si bajo fdisk de DOS haces hda1 como particion primaria, y quieres mas particiones, necesitas crear una particion extendida (lo que seria hda2) y dentro de ella poner las particiones logicas hda4, 5, 6 ... (¿o es al reves?) ¿Puede ser eso lo que de problemas? Las particiones extendidas comienzan en hda5, hda6 y hda7. Te sugiero que uses cfdisk para que las veas (cuidado no te cargues nada, sal con Q una vez las hayas visto). Bueno, a ver si alguien me puede orientar un poco con esto. La cosa es que tengo que instalar Debian a otro amigo estas navidades y me da miedo porque si no le puedo poner el LILO (la solucion de disco de rescate no mola mucho, si siempre tienes que arrancar Linux con disquete) entonces estoy perdido. Lo digo porque con el otro amigo tuve muchos problemas para recuperarle los datos de hda1, ya que al instalarse el LILO, no solo no arrancaba esa particion sino que al quitar LILO habia acceso a esa particion ni desde disquete. Menudas cosas. Es facir quitar LILO con el disco de emergencia de Windows 95. Arrancas con el y una vez en el dos escribes FDISK /MBR Y con eso te rescata el arranque original.

Actualización B0 = Hamm (antes Re: Actualización+Dselect)
Hola, en primer lugar mi explicación es la de alguien que esta muy verde en esto del linux, así que no esperes profundas explicaciones. Lo único que he hecho ha sido seguir las instruciones del README-upgrade for Debian Gnu/Linux v.2.0 y cuando he tenido problemas preguntar en esta lista (me los han solucionado todos :-) ). No obstante te hago un resumen de lo que hice: 1.- Dado que elegí usar el método apt de actualización lo primero que hice fue instalar apt (viene en el CD en update) (dpkg -i apt_0.1.4.bo_i386.deb suponiendo que estás en el directorio upgrade del CD). 2.- Deberías grabar todo lo que haces para lo que te aconsejan hacer 'script -miactualizacion' (yo esto con las prisas no lo hice y luego me arrepenti) 3.- Edité el /etc/apt/source.list añadiendo como primera linea deb file:punto_de_montaje_CD/debian stable main y comente las otras lineas que habia. 4.- Hice 'apt-get update' Esto me dio algun problema por que mi netscape4 lo habia instalando forzandolo y daba problemas de dependencias, pero el propio apt me aconsejó lo que hacer y solo tuve que aceptar sus sugerencias lo que soluciono el problema de dependencias. 5.- Repetí el paso 4 y ahora todo finalizó sin problemas. 6.- Hice 'apt-get -f dist-upgrade' Comienza la actualización y los mensjes van pasando por la pantalla, algunos son un poco alarmantes como los mensajes de alerta de perl quejandose de mis locales LC_MENSAGE, LANG, LC_ALL, pero que como he visto y me han dicho mas tarde no tenian mayor importancia. Al final me aparecio un error al actualizar fvwm95_2.0.43b-5.deb. Al final aparecen estas líneas: Errors were encountered while processing: /cdrom/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/x11/fvwm95_2.0.43b-5.deb y termina la actualización. Aquí me entra el pánico por que el sistema se me ha quedado un tanto escacharrado (el teclado esta en ingles, no tengo X y ...muchas mas cosas). Después de preguntar en la lista hago... 7.- 'dpkg --pending --configure' Se me reconfiguran todos los paquetes actualizados (solo hay que contestar algunas preguntas evidentes) y casi todo vuelve a funcionar (tuve que modificar ligeramente el script de conexion a internet por que el fetchmail ya no aceptaba la opción --kill) 8.- Hago 'apt-get install timezones locales' 9.- ejecuto dselect con la opcion de acceso apt y corro todos los pasos (no seleciono nada solo lo que hay por defecto) 10.- sigo las instruciones finales del README-upgrade: rearranco cd /var/log mv wtmp wtmp.libc5 touch wtmp cd /var/run cp /dev/null utmp rearranco 11.- Por fin...todo funciona menos las X (realmente arrancan pero me queda la pantalla gris con una pantalla login blanca sin bordes, si en esta pantalla tecleo 'fvwm95 ' todo funciona bien). La solución de nuevo procedio de esta lista y consistio en hacer un link entre /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc (que no existia) y mi /etc/X11/Xsession. 12.- Entre todos habeis conseguido que mi Hamm funcione.

Re: i am a first timer at linux and i have a few questions
Dear Simon, Welcome to Linux! You'll be glad you found out about it! these are my querries/questions: is the only thing the linux operating system contains (linux debian that is) is an install programme(to install new packages), a C compiler, that multi terminal gadget, the login program and a few commands (such as listing directories and editing)? No no no! You can get a HUGE amount of software for linux. You can get X windows, email tools, editors, spreadsheets, wordprocessors, etc etc etc! Linux is a bit more of a learning curve than Windows 95, but it is a much better operating system, and much of the software is free so it is much cheaper too! if i was to install linux debian from software that i got off the web, how would i go about installing Xwindows and netscape communicator from a red hat cd? Debian comes with X-windows and provides an easy way to install netscape, but you wouldn't do it using a redhat CD. You can install Debian stuff directly from the net, but if you're new, you might find that a better way would be to buy a Debian CD - they are quite cheap - you can get them for about US$5. Have a look at the web site http://www.debian.org/ for more details. is there a place on the web where a person can find out what microsoft programs work on linux or on WINE? eg excel, MSword and powerpoint Yes, have a look at http://www.winehq.com/ for details. My understanding is that excel and MSword work quite well with wine, though not perfectly. My advice to you however, is that if you move to linux, to start using something called StarOffice instead. It is an integrated office environment which has a wordprocessor that can read MSword documents and a spreadsheet which is pretty good, as well as a drawing application and a few others besides. I haven't used it much, but when I did play around with it, it seemed pretty good. The best thing is that it is free for personal (non-commercial) use. what is an image file? In what context? An image file is a file with a photo or picture in it. on red hat there is an install manager(or something like that) that only ever mentions installing file packages with .rpm and the debian install program only ever mentions installing .deb file packages. my question is can one manager install software that is made for another disrubution of linux? It is possible, but generally it is not a good idea. For most software, you can get the same software in both debian format and in redhat format. But I believe Debian has the most software, so there will be some things that Debian has that Redhat doesn't have. You should choose either the RedHat distribution or Debian to install - not both. Personally I would strongly recommend Debian, as would most people on this email-list :-) how is red hat different to debian? why is red hat so big(300MB) compared to debian(10MB)? Debian is a LOT bigger than 10MB! Perhaps what you're talking about is the Debian base. That is, you can get a bare-bones version of Debian working in about 10M, but it won't have very much software. If you installed every piece of software in Debian it would be HUGE - I don't know quite how big, but maybe 1 Gigabyte??? Anyway, most people only install some of the packages - the ones they're going to use. It also depends how much disk space you have. If you only have a small amount of disk space, you would only install a small number of packages. If you have a huge disk, then you can install lots of packages. As for the difference between Debian and Redhat. In many ways they are quite similar. They are both linux and both have a lot of the same software. Redhat is a commercial organization, where as Debian is created by a huge volunteer workforce. Both distributions are quite good, but I believe that Debian is technically superior. Some people say that Redhat is more user friendly, but others disagree about this. It takes a while to get used to Debian, but once you do, you'll find that it's very nice. The other good thing about Debian is all the help you get from this list. the installation of linux off a DOS partition includes the bare minium. is there any way of increasing the features/commands? Yes, install more debian packages. are there any shareware/freeware word processors and graphic programmes out there for linux? Yes, though the correct word for most software on linux is open software, which is a little bit different from shareware. With open software, not only does the software not cost anything, but the source code is freely available - this makes a big difference because it means that software bugs get fixed more quickly and other people can improve existing software. So in general, open software is much better and more advanced than shareware. I would recommend a program called lyx for wordprocessing. It is a little different from usual wordprocessors and takes a little while to get used to it, but

(5) Wouldn't it be nice if the autmatic page you generate for a package has a link that fetches the tar -tvf listing? If it groups the files into sections, according to whether the first eight characters of the filename are identical, it would be easy to use the jump-to-section feature at the top. To be really sneaky, make the file names themselves be scripts that retrieve the specific file from the package.

The syslog has no errors in it except for Sendmail [some number]: (null):(null). Anyway, it's happened again! I'm hoping the power will flicker (I'm in Mississippi and we've got freezing rain) again so I can get in. Does anyone what could be going on.

If gnome-panel needs libgtk-1.1.so.2 and you have libgtk-1.1.so.3 OF COURSE apt-get won't upgrade you to a lower version! So, IF you think, you only have to remove the higher version (1.1.so.3) and all the packages that are using it, and then up-grade those packages! Then the correct version libgtk-1.1.so.2 get installed. Sorry guys, too much shopping and running around and not enog\ugh sleep. It was clear as a bell when I got up and thought about it today.

Aladdin Ghostscript 5.50
I have been trying to get my dot-matrix Panasonic KX-P1123 printer to work all night. After re-compiling the Kernel again, my printer prints regular ASCII text fine.

After reading numerous HOW-TO's I discovered I need to use a program called Ghostscript to emulate Postscript. I have downloaded the unix version of postscript.

Hello, Recently I tried installing hamm on a colleagues machine (Pentium 200MMX, 32 MB RAM, 2GB HDD). The base installation goes without any errors. But after reboot, the problems start.

When I try to login as root, it says, cannot intialise /dev/tty1 for root. Can somebody suggest where the problem might lie? Thanks, sridhar
Re: Moving partition
In fact, my problem is : How do I move files from an old parttion to a new one while ensure all links (and things like that) are kept ? This is the way I've done it dozens of times...its from the days prior to cp having the correct attributes to do it correctly, and maintain last access times, etc... mount the target filesystem (lets say at /mnt) cd to the top of the one which you want to copy...lets say /usr then, this command: find . -depth | cpio -pdmv /mnt The result at /mnt will be AN EXACT duplicate of the filesystem. I understand that the more recent GNU cp will do the same, but this is the way I've always done it, and still do. Paul

(1) Are you maintaining the 'nocache' tags correctly, so that I can have my machine locally cache the site and reduce loading on static pages in the usual way ? (2) What really slows the whole site is when I hit the 'search' feature. I almost dread using it, partly because it tends not to find what I'm looking for. (3) I've just found the package search facility ... I had been doing it manually with less and/or dselect. THIS IS GREAT. But you knew that. (4) Is there some way to browse the man pages on the site? If there is, I haven't found it. It would be useful to read the man pages in a package before I install it... (5) Wouldn't it be nice if the autmatic page you generate for a package has a link that fetches the tar -tvf listing? If it groups the files into sections, according to whether the first eight characters of the filename are identical, it would be easy to use the jump-to-section feature at the top. To be really sneaky, make the file names themselves be scripts that retrieve the specific file from the package.

Re: Netscape Printing
You are on the right way. ghostscript is used by a print filter (apsfilter, magicfilter or lprng) to translate PostScript for your non-PostScript printer. If you will print HTML, you can use Jan Karrman's html2ps. It's possible, that Netscape itself use this nifty utility. -Egon On Thu, 24 Dec 1998, Jason Dawe wrote: Yesterday I had questions on installing Aladdin Ghostscript 5.50.

Re: debian-user-digest Digest V98 #1511
I recompiled my kernal to support two chips. When I went through the make config i did not see any thing that looked like it might belong to the iso9660 file system. I need this fs to mount my cdrom. I looked in /proc/filesystem and sure enough iso9660 was not there. Also looked at the modules file and found cdrom. I rebuilt my kernel a while ago, and my new kernel accesses the CD-ROM just fine (as did the old). I know very little about kernel configuration, but I notice that this appeared in the configuration file for my new kernel: CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=y I assume that if this line were absent, my kernel wouldn't have CD-ROM support. And perhaps your kernel configuration is missing that line. So here's what I'd try, if I were you: * Re-run whichever tool you use to edit the configuration, and look again for the ISO9660 option. It might be in a section called `Filesystems'. * Failing that, just edit your configuration file (sorry, I forget the file's exact name, but it's almost certainly at the top level of the kernel source) and add that line.

I think what's going on is that e2fsck is looking to repair files on a block that your ide hard drive automatically checked out as bad. Since ide hard drives do this at a very low level (firmware), there's no way for you to interact without very expensive proprietary software. OTOH, if you have a scsi drive, then your controller may have software which allows you to interact with this process. If you have a backup, this would be a good time to restore. If you don't have a backup, there's a pretty small chance that any critical programs were on the bad block, so depending on how mission-critical your box is, you may wnat to forget about it or else wait a couple weeks for slink to release and then upgrade. You also may have lost data files on a bad block, but there's nothing you can do about that if you don't have a backup. Files that were partially recovered by e2fsck will be in the lost+found directory for the relevant partition, so you'll want to look in all your lost+found directories. If you want more information, see the Ext2fs-Undeletion and Partition mini-howto's. If you're new to Linux, you may want to note that ext2 filesystems are a little more sensitive than fat filesystems, so you should expect there to be some errors when the power goes out, although not always bad blocks. You also might want to consider investing in a ups. -- David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Unidentified subject!
I just installed the Debian linux on my home PC (PII400). I got the x-server running but it is very slow. The screen does not flick but when I drag a xterm, the screen refreshes very slowly. I guess I didn't configure the video card correctly. My video card is a ATI [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rage 3D pro with 8MB. When I use XF86Setup to configure it, it always uses SVGA x-server instead of MACH64 (which I suppose is the right one to use). Anyone can help? Thanks.

Re: NFS problems, cannot mount-permission denied
One possibility is that the client is not named what you think. Try to telnet from the client to the NFS server and do a 'who' and see what it thinks the clients hostname is. You are exporting to myclientname but the server may be seeing it as myclientname.domain.nam and that won't match causing the 'permission denied' error.

Re: Moving partition
Alexander Kushnirenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Symbolic links are just names of files. If the path of the destination stays the same (/usr is still /usr, even though the mount table is different) you shouldn't have problems just using cp. But I haven't done this before in truth. I'm not sure about that. If I got it right plain cp will copy the file, it will not create a symobolic link. So your symbolic link structure will be ruined. tar on the other hand preserves it. If you use the -d (preserve links), -p (preserve file attributes) and -R (copy directories recursively) you should have no problems with cp. The short cut for all three parameters is -a.

There is no info (in dselect) when I highlight the Netscape installation program and when I try to install the Communicator file dselect won't configure it.

strange windowmaker behavior
These problems existed using the wmaker package from hamm as well as the wmaker package from /frozen. (wmaker_0.20.3-1.deb) I am having trouble with my x sessions using windowmaker. I have windowmaker set as the default window-manager. When I run startx windowmaker starts up with no dock, only an xterm and an icon with the windowmaker logo. If I exit my session and remove the ~/GNUstep directory windowmaker runs correctly (I think). The dock and clip are there, and I can add apps to the dock, use the WPrefs app, use the clip, etc. But, as soon as I close x (even if I save session) the next time I startx the dock is gone again, and there is just the wm logo in the corner of the screen. If I remove the ~/GNUstep dir again the problem goes away, but only lasts for that session. I am new to Debian - I have recently moved to Debian from SuSE. Thank you for your help. -Ben
