Saludos tocayo. Hay novedades que hacen del ltimo mensaje que te mand un monton de palos de ciego. Siguiendo las indicaciones de Marcelo E. Magalln he logrado arrancar el sistema que instal en el disco duro. Ello me permiti obtener una copia de los mensajes del kernel (archivo adjunto mensajes_kernel.txt); hchale una ojeada a ver qu se te ocurre. Su acertada sugerencia fue utilizar LOADLIN.EXE desde la particin DOS, a modo de puerta trasera, de la siguiente forma: loadlin linux rescue root=/dev/sda4 En el archivo SISTEMA.TXT tienes detallada la configuracin de mi ordenador as como la descripcin de las particiones de los discos. Leelo, te ayudar a entender algunos mensajes del kernel que puedan parecerte sorprendentes o sospechosos por inesperados. Ahora el problema se reduce a cmo arrancar el sistema directamente, sin tener que pasar por MIERDOWS (lo siento, creo que se me ha notado). Cualquier idea que se te ocurra ser bienvenida, yo estoy 'out'. Cambiando un poco de tema y dado que ya puedo acceder al sistema. te importara orientarme sobre cmo configurarlo, qu mdulos instalar, y dnde? Olvida de momento las x-windows y cntrate en lo mnimo para tener un sistema apaadito y coqueto, lo justo para ir aprendiendo, ms adelante ya veremos. Se me olvidaba, he instalado DEBIAN 2.0.

Re: Starting KDE at boot time
In a message dated 1/8/99 12:31:30 PM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: 1) About runlevels, I currently run at level 2, do I just change the value in the inittab to 5 and be done with it? or are there more things to consider? You can do that. Is that really something you need to do, though? No, I was just under the impression that you needed to be at runlevel 5 to run xdm at startup. If I can run at level 2, fine with me. Is there a policy/standard on this? 2) I figured out how xdm starts. Init does it via the rc.* files. All of them link back to /etc/init.d/xdm - a script that does the dirty work. It uses start-stop-daemon to actually start the xdm program. Question is, I need to start kdm instead of xdm. Is it acceptable to just rename the xdm program to xdm.old and put a link to kdm in it's place? or is it better to change the script to start kdm? There should be a /etc/init.d/kdm file that starts KDM for you. The symlinks should have been created in the appropriate /etc/rcX.d directories as well. All you should have to do is edit /etc/X11/config so it says start-kdm instead of start-xdm. I compiled my KDE (as there weren't any binaries available for the 1.0 version), and it didn't created any of these files. I have no start-kdm file, no symlinks to the kdm program, and no start-kdm line in my X11 config. This is part of my confusion. 3) The startx is self-explanatory. The startkde brings up the kwm and other KDE utils that bring up the desktop. There are actually 5 or 6 things that get started. How do I get all of these to come up when kdm starts? The instructions with KDE didn't help much. Should I just add these to the bottom of the xdm script in init.d? Or is there a better way to do it? No no no, that would be bad. You do not want kwm, kfm, kpanel, and all that other stuff to be running when kdm is up. You want those things to run AFTER the person gives a valid login/passwd combo to KDM. Having all those things running along with kdm would be a lot like having an xterm up on your xdm screen. What's the point in having the login screen there when there's already a root shell up??? You should edit /etc/X11/window-manages and put startkde alone on the first line. The first line of that file is the default window manager. Of course, we know that startkde isn't a window manager, but it will run the window manager, and everything is good. Okay, I see your point on this one. I'm still trying to figure out what to start when. I reread the help files that I do have for KDE and they say the following: * kdm is a drop-in replacement for xdm. It mentions renaming the current xdm and linking kdm to xdm instead of messing with inittab. * it says to add kdedesktop to my Xsetup_0 file - but I don't have a clue why or what this does. So, I'm still clueless on how this all works. If anyone has KDE running (from the binaries), would they mind running through their scripts and config files and letting me know what to set where?

[...] I suspect that a line must now be missing from some /etc/init.d/* file, eg, klogd -o -f /var/log/messages However, such a line would need to be early in the boot: after /etc/rcS.d/* files run but before most every other boot file since a permanent klogd daemon runs in the file /etc/rc2.d/S10sysklogd I could insert a klogd -o command in one of the boot files, if that is what was used before, but I hate to do what should already be done somehow. Any ideas? For example, does your grep klogd /etc/init.d/* reveal a klogd with the -o option? I have two Debian installations. One of them is upgraded from 1.3 to 2.0. On this system the /var/log/messages contains the boot messages. On the other system, I installed a brand new Debain 2.0 distribution (no upgrade). On this system, I only see the minimal mark messages, but _no_ boot messages. Next thing I did is to compare the files in the init.d directory of both systems. Apart from the network numbers, the files were identical. So I am afraid the problem is more subtle (and I still don't have any clue). I checked with a friend who runs Debian. He recently installed Debian on a new computer, getting the same missing boot-log messages in /var/log/messages. Searching dejanews, I see many people being told they can see their boot-log messages in /var/log/messages. New users would not know that the trickle of messages now going to /var/log/messages all come after booting has finished. I tried Bennow Overeinder's possible unqualified hostname in /etc/hosts. I also tried variations in resolv.conf, nsswitch.conf, and hostname. None resulted in boot-log messages to /var/log/messages.

Re: SoundBlaster Vibra 16 jumperless card under Linux
There is a secondary/tertiary problem: the CD I got with my vibra16 won't install in strict dos, but requires win3x to install. The second problem is that the vibra16 configuration is dependent on two drivers: firstly the config.sys device driver CTCM, then the autoexec.bat driver CTCU. Then you have to run diagnose--I don't play with dosemu too much; I usually deal with a dual-boot system, so I can't tell you how to get dosemu to run through all of the drivers in one fell swoop, just how dos treats it on bootup. The factory defaults are 0x220 i/o port, 0x300 MPU emulator i/o port, IRQ 10, DMA 1, and secondary DMA 5 if you wanna configure other cards around it.

I don't know how to defrag a disk (you rarely need to anyway), but the following would work, for checking as well. Either boot up the system in `single' or `emergency' mode (at the LILO prompt, linux single or linux emergency). emergency in particular will mount the root read-only and enter single user mode. (I think single will mount all file systems read-write, and still enter single user mode.) Or you can shutdown the running system to single user mode; shutdown -h now will get you to single user mode. Then unmount partitions, and remount the root read only with mount -o remount,ro -n / To get the system back to multiuser, you can either reboot, or remount everything read/write and exit the single user shell. (I think the system goes back to multiuser in this situation). If you forget to remount as read write, it'll enter multiuser mode with the disk read/only, and you won't like that.

Re: PostgreSQL error ...
This is discussed in the Postgresql documentation. If you have problems you are likely to get a better answer from the postgresql mailling list. You need to add 'nemanuel' to the Postgresql system.

CD-sound problem
Hi Everyone, I have recompiled the kernel to support sound and all sound applications, which I tryed (midi-, wav-, au- players, xmix), work except CD. No sound at all. I aslo have noticed that if I boot win95 and then linux without powering off the computer, the xmix does not work, but CD works. Thus, I conclude that I made a mistake in setting up the sound card parameters or something similar. Any suggestions what I should check?

DPI
Hi, I just read your dpi request on the Debian mailing list archives. In case you don't have an answer yet: I change my X dpi setting with the command-line option -dpi (startx -dpi 96); if you have learned of any more elegant way to do this, please tell me. Another thing seems to be the default resolution for which xfs serves fonts. You set this in /etc/X11/xfs/config (the factory setting in my case was 75 and 100 dpi). See man xfs. If you set the more general X resolution with -dpi, I do not think that the xfs setting has much further effect. Regards, Stefan

Re: Samba and NT Wkstn?
Leo, Well then, I guess wishing you good luck is all I can do! OK, and I understand. I was hoping I could get an answer here, but I guess I have to try Samba's site because no one here seems to have any idea. Its crazy, 'cause everything I've read about it suggests that NT 3.51 Wkstn should just flat out work! In this case, machines running WfW, Win95 or NT 4.0 all work just fine, but NOT 3.51! And, the doc's just seem to say it should not be an issuebut it is! On three different versions of Samba, it refuses to connect to a resource, all giving the same Access is Denied error box. Actually, the 3.51 is installed on my laptop along with Linux and WfW. The WfW works fine, no problem, but not the NT 3.51. It does everything just fine except map a drive from Samba. Oh well... Interesting that NT 4.0 (non-SP3) has no trouble either... If you have time, when you solve it I'd like to hear what went awry. Sure will let you know. Thanks for your help. Paul
how to umount /floppy with superblock error?
Hi, everybody -- I wanted to reuse the OS/2 warp floppies I had hanging around. I wanted to make them ext2 filesystem, so issued the command (with the floppy in /dev/fd0, but _not_ mounted): mke2fs /dev/fd0 The drive light was on for a while and I got the info about formatting; and the prompt returned. Then I wanted to mount it and used: mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy where I got the message about can't read superblock ( I know this is not a good thing). Then I tried to umount it, thinking I'll just toss the floppy. But issueing: umount /floppy gives me: umount: /floppy: can't write superblock and my /var/log/messages shows: Jan 9 12:23:29 cmt kernel: Directory sread (sector 0x13) failed Jan 9 12:23:30 cmt kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 19 Doing a df: df: /floppy/: Input/output error Could someone tell me or point me to the place on the Net where I can read up on it how to get my /floppy back?

Ricoh MP6201S Buslogic Flashpoint anyone using this ?
Hi, From the subject, you will get a good idea of my message :-) I bought a Buslogic Flashpoint controller a while ago and then a Ricoh MP6201S CD/RW drive. The two never worked very well together, though when I was using them under Debian 1.3 they did what I wanted them to do. They wouldn't work with anything but mkisofs and cdrecord and as I didn't want to make music CD's this was fine. I upgraded to Debian 2.0 a few months ago and backed up my drives etc before doing so to CDROM. Since the upgrade, I have been unable to write to the CDROM. I have applied patches from the manufacturer to the PROM on both the SCSI card and the CDROM, I have also tried using Kernel 2.0.36 and I still can't write CD's. I can read them fine. I realise the Flashpoint controller support is flaky under Linux but I did have the system working. I now can't write anything to the drive. It may be a processor/speed problem. I've been in touch with the developer of cdrecord and also with the unofficial Ricoh site but have not had any success there. I've been through all the settings in my BIOS and in the SCSI card bios and can't see anything that would cause the problems. In short it all looks fine (+ it did partially work before). What I'm trying to find out is if there is anybody on the list using the same combination of HW and if they had any success.

smail: mail lossage
Debian 2.0/i386, smail 3.2.0.101-4.5. I'm seeing mail lossage here. What happens is that messages to alias addresses--aliases which have existed for months and which are perfectly fine and deliverable--are bounced with ERR100 (unknown user). Usually I get my mail through rsmtp and I haven't noticed this lossage before. There are no cases of it in a week's worth of mail logs. Due to a server outage I'm receiving mail directly by SMTP today. So far about 15 messages out of 500 have been bounced for no good reason. The aliases concerned *are* valid. These very aliases *have* received mail earlier and later on today. However, *some* messages are bounced with unknown user for no discernable reason. This is getting serious.

Or you can shutdown the running system to single user mode; shutdown -h now will get you to single user mode. Then unmount partitions, and remount the root read only with mount -o remount,ro -n / To get the system back to multiuser, you can either reboot, or remount everything read/write and exit the single user shell. (I think the system goes back to multiuser in this situation). If you forget to remount as read write, it'll enter multiuser mode with the disk read/only, and you won't like that. Hmmm... I've got a single ext2fs partition, so it is the root partition. That's the one I need to defrag/scan, so even having it mounted as read only won't help. (At least for the defrag) So as far as I can tell I need either: - A win95/dos based tool to defragment a linux partition (yeah right) - A floppy (or CD-ROM) based dist that won't access my HD at all. (And has the adequate tools) - Another computer with linux installed. (Forget it) - A way to boot without any root partition. But then, how does UNIX administrator were dealing with such issues? How can one scan and/or defrag a ext2fs?
named/BIND 8.1.2-5 won't accept inbound zone xfers
I'm having a really nasty time getting my BIND zone slave to update from the
zone master. the slave keeps saying:
---
Jan 9 13:24:21 Phaktory named[145]: Zone zone.domain (class 1) SOA serial#
(10719991) rcvd from [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] is ours (121219981)
--- (names/ips changed to protect he innocent)
but it never gets updated. Anyways, here is the relevant part of my named.conf
on the slave ns:
---
zone zone.domain {
type slave;
file zone.domain/zone.hosts;
allow-query { any; };
allow-update { none; };
allow-transfer { localservers; };
masters { xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; };
};
---
and the master:
---
zone zone.domain {
type master;
allow-query { any; };
allow-update { none; };
allow-transfer { localservers; };
file zone.domain/zone.hosts;
};
---
localservers is an acl with the ips of both nameservers:
---
acl localservers {
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy;
};
---
So, can anyone suggest what's wrong here?
Thanks in advance

RE: fvwm95 menus
Matt, go to /usr/doc/menu and it will explain how to make your own menu entries.

RE: printing to a win95 shared printer *sigh*
On 09-Jan-99 Richard A Nelson wrote: Has anyone setup lprng to print to a win95 shared printer? The printer in question is a HP DeskJet 870. I've been printing to the printer locally, but had to move the printer to a box that runs mostly lose 95. I am under the impression that this is one of the uses of Samba.
help wanted for kernel install
Hi, folks I want to update my kernel (2.0.34) to 2.0.36. I've already upgraded the rest of my system slink, so today I used apt-get to install the new kernel-source. When I switched to the /usr/src/linux directory, I found it was still pointing to kernel-source-2.0.34. I also found that the 2.0.36 stuff had not been unpacked. It still existed as a .tar.gz file, so I used gzip and tar to unroll it. Now I have a kernel-source-2.0.36 directory but /usr/src/linux was still pointing to 2.0.34. I rm'd the linux* links and created one pointing to 2.0.36. My /usr/src now looks like this: debian:/usr/src# l total 29991 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Oct 13 13:54 kernel-headers-2.0.32 drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 1024 Jan 9 14:11 kernel-source-2.0.34 drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 1024 Jan 9 14:12 kernel-source-2.0.36 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30586880 Nov 27 23:58 kernel-source-2.0.36.tar lrwxrwxrwx 1 root src20 Jan 9 14:23 linux - kernel-source-2.0.36 Ok, now I cd to linux and I'm in 2.0.36. This seems right to me, but I must still missing something, because make menuconfig produces the following errors: debian:/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig rm -f include/asm ( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm) make -C scripts/lxdialog all make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.36/scripts/lxdialog' gcc -O2 -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer -DLOCALE -DCURSES_LOC=curses.h -c lxdialog.c -o lxdialog.o In file included from lxdialog.c:22: dialog.h:29: curses.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [lxdialog.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.36/scripts/lxdialog' make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2 So, what's happing? Why didn't apt-get install unroll everything and set it up properly? Have I got myself hopelessly screwed up? And, how can I get things set up so that I may get on with this?

Re: fvwm95 menus
If you want to completely override the default values, just copy the default configuration file in full to the user's directory (as .fvwm95rc or whatever it uses) and edit it to remove the Read statements (for the hooks) and to change the menus to just the apps you want. miket On Sat, Jan 09, 1999 at 04:15:38PM -0500, Matt Kopishke wrote: What's the simplest way to completly over ride the menus the are used by default under fvwm95, for certen users (probly using ~/.fvwm95 and hook files?).

'time' protocol client/server for Debian?
Does anyone know of a simple time protocol client/server pair for Debian/Linux? I am refering to RFC868, not NTP. It would be simple enough to write, but if someone has already done the work... thanks, Chris
