Intent to coordinate WEB translations to Portuguese (announce)
I am announcing this to debian-devel, debian-user-portuguese as well as the webmaster at debian. Since we finally got the official Debian WWW mirror in Brazil working I am stepping ahead and offering myself to coordinate the translations of the debian web pages into portuguese. Debian is too good to be left apart by Brazilian people just because there is little Debian specific documentation available in portuguese. -- Eduardo Marcel MacanCore Technologies Informatica LTDA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Suporte e Desenvolvimento Unix/Linux.

libc5/6
Anoche me instale el kde 1.1 (pre) que viene en el ultimo CD Actual (feb/99)... He seguido pegandome con ello y ya me he dado cuenta de que la distribucion de caldera es libc5, lo cual es la fuente de todos los problemas. Lo que quería preguntar, entonces, es ¿qué implicaciones tiene mezclar programas que llaman a libc5 y libc6? ¿Un programa puede utilizar librerías dinámicas libc5 y libc6 a la vez? He visto que en /etc/ld.so.conf se hace referencia a algo similar a libc5-compat. ¿Me permite esto mezclar los binarios? He preguntado a algunos conocidos y todos me recomiendan que sólo use programas libc6. ¿Es así de radical el asunto? Emilio.
Window Maker
Hola a todos, He compilado window maker 0.51 en mi distribución Debian pero no consigo que me aparezca como interfaz predeterminado... continúo viendo el fvw95. Aparentamente he compilado de manera correcta tanto el wmaker como las librerías necesarias (libtiff, libjeb, libwraster, libprop...). Alguna pista sobre como hacer de wmaker mi interfaz predeterminado? Saludos y gracias por anticipado.

At least, thats what it does here. But debian.virtual.de.host is my own system, and I am able to _MAIL_ to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it appears in his spool file, only fetchmail won't get it back... One thing that may be relevant here is the fetchmail smtphost setting. By default, when fetchmail delivers mail it retrieves, the address it delivers to is the same as the local address that it was assigned when getting mail. An example: I have a box that connects via a ppp dialup line. When I connect, my machine is assigned an IP address in the range 128.220.222.*. For example, let's say I dial in and get 128.220.222.98. Then, when fetchmail connects to my mail server (128.220.2.5), it notices that the local end of the connection is at 128.220.222.98, and when it turns around and delivers the mail, it attempts to deliver it to 128.220.222.98. That is, fetchmail delivers the mail to my machine through the IP address associated with the ppp connection, instead of the localhost (127.0.0.1) address. (*) Now, since I don't trust the other people who use my ISP to not try to use my machine as a mail relay, my machine doesn't accept mail from IP addresses in the 128.220.222.* range. (In fact, my machine doesn't accept mail from anything but my own mini-network) Therefore, under the defaults, fetchmail will fail to be able to deliver mail since the fetchmail connection will appear to be coming from the IP address that my machine got when it dialed in. The default debian exim setup (which is, in my opinion, a good way to do things) refuses to allow non-local machines to deliver mail by just sending to the username, not to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The fix for this is to include the line: defaults smtphost localhost at the top of your .fetchmailrc file. This forces fetchmail to deliver mail to 127.0.0.1, which means that it will use the loopback network interface, which is guaranteed to be local. This means that my machine accepts the mail, and also means that under debian's default exim setup, delivery will be allowed to unqualified names. (*) delivery to localhost used to be the default. Why fetchmail's upstream authors changed the default (with only a small note hidden deep in the documentation) is completely beyond me - I can think of only very unusual reasons why you'd want the current default behavior, and many reasons why you'd want the old default behavior. Fetchmail's upstream authors have a history of introducing optional features which, while useful in some cases, will cause many installations to break, and then of enabling those features by default. I believe this to be evidence that the fetchmail author has taken his own writings on the benefits of bazaar-style development too seriously to impose enough sanity-checking control on fetchmail. (For those of you who don't know, Eric S. Raymond, fetchmail's upstream author, is the author of The Cathedral and the Bazaar, which many consider to be the manifesto of the open source movement. Fetchmail is in fact the program used as a case study in that article) For further rantings about this and other tendencies in the development of fetchmail, see debian-devel for the past few days.

Losing Linux (Again!)

Re: bash scripting
Eugene Sevinian [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, ppl, I would like to know, is it possible to fork the standard stdout of some command into another two or three pipelines. The idea is to avoid unnecessary disk load during temporary file writing/reading. So I need something like this: command1 | command2 | command3 | command4 file1 \-command5 | command6 file2 \-command7 | command8 file3 Does bash allow such things? I can't think of any elegant way to do what you want; I was hoping someone else would come up with one. Since no one has, here's an inelegant solution. Someone suggested using `tee', which does split the output stream the way you want. Unfortunately, tee can only send one copy of the output to a pipe; the rest must be to files. The trick is to make those files be named pipes. (Also called a `fifo', a named pipe is a special file, which one process can write to while another process reads from it, having the same effect as a command-line pipe. Nothing actually gets stored on disk.) Here's how to do it, using your example below: % mkfifo fifo1 fifo2 % command1 | command2 | tee fifo1 fifo2 | command3 | command4 file1 \ command5 fifo1 | command6 file2 \ command7 fifo2 | command8 file3 The `mkfifo' command creates two named pipes, called fifo1 and fifo2, in the current directory. If you want, you can delete them when you're done, with `rm fifo1 fifo2'. The second, multi-line command really consists of three separate compound commands, separated by `', so they run in parallel. The first line uses `tee' to send output from command2 into the pipeline command3 | command4 file1, as well as into the `files' fifo1 and fifo2. The second line causes command5 to read from fifo1, which is really a copy of the output from command2, and pipes command5's output through command6 into file2. Similarly, the third line causes command7 to read from fifo2, which is another copy of the output from command2, and pipes command7's output through command8 into file3. Good luck. -- David Zelinsky [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Some words describing the error may help. If it is possible add the messages just before the startup hangs. I think you have change something in your hardware that causes the error because slink boots very well with the 2940 adapter. Some tips: check the hardware connections, look for IRQ's confilcts, and verify the BIOS settings of your motherboard and the SCSI adapter are correct.

Re: Losing Linux (Again!)
By the sounds of things when you formatted the drive - you didn't install the operating system. In order to do this you either need the 'sys' command; or the 'format' command. If you have 'sys' run: sys a: c: If you have 'format' (no copy of 'sys') run: format c: /s That way it will transfer the Win98 bootup information to the drive. A good utility for resizing FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, EXT2, Linux SWAP partition (creating as well) is Partition Magic. I think you need at least version 5 - this will resize all of the above partitions, as well as create them - it is very very efficient at doing this job. I've used it on a number of occasions with my primary Linux partition to increase it's size and havn't had any problems or data lose. Jolyon
Re: Losing Linux
I've done this very procedure on numerous machines, numerous times; and it has worked perfectly every time. The only think that I must add is that often if you haven't run LILO you can still have to recreate the master boot record. And when you're using a boot disk, it can sometimes recreate it on the disk itself - rather than the partition. (I've never been able to see the drive letter option working) My method of ensuring that the right MBR is redone, is to run the command from C: that way I can check to ensure that the correct drive is being accessed. Jolyon First off, I know this sounds obvious, but make sure your BIOS settings are letting you boot first from floppy, then HD, not from HD first, which might cause this... Then, if you had LILO installed, try using: fdisk [drive letter] /mbr on your HD's master boot record. My fiance had a similar problem once when she went from linux back to windows. That fixed it, although in her case, it was in regards to being able to boot from the HD after moving back to Windoze, as opposed to booting from floppy... Also, are you sure the floppy's not corrupt? Might wanna check it on another system. That's just my guess, I've personally not tried to re-install Win95, although my current system dual boots. I hope this helps somewhat. Mac. Stephen Lavelle wrote: I have asked previously on this list how to go about removing Linux from a machine and reinstalling Windoze. I received the advice to remove the partitions using cfdisk and format the drive as DOS fat 16. Having done this and put a bootable DOS install disk in the floppy drive I just get the error message invalid disk... When booting with disk in the drive I just get the letters FA if I hit any key.

When I come back to the computer after it's been idle for a while, I have to do another setserial command to reset the irq back to 3. It's like the irq returns to it's default value when I'm away from the computer. Here's an excerpt from cat /proc/ioports before i do a setserial: 02f8-02ff : serial(auto) 0376-0376 : ide1 03c0-03df : vga+ 03e8-03ef : serial(auto) and after setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 3: 02f8-02ff : serial(auto) 0376-0376 : ide1 03c0-03df : vga+ 03e8-03ef : serial(set) Any clue you can give me so I can fix the problem? Thanks in advance John
slink and libc6
A few days ago I mentioned that I have been having problems installing slink because libc6 was giving me inconsistencies. I still don't know what the problem was, but I have a feeling it had something to do with dpkg. When I switched to the dpkg-apt method, everything went smoothly. After finally figuring out how to use apt-get and the dpkg-apt method, all I can say is - if you haven't used it yet - now's the time to learn. It's wonderful. -Jay

Installing Sound Card
Hello, I'm looking for someone who would help walk me through the process of installing my sound card on my 2.0.33 kernel system. I have read the howto's and such and I am totally confused! My attempt to generate a kernel resulted in a 1.6MB monstrosity that is to big to run... I have been playing with this on and off for 4 months... My system is a P166 64MB system running the current debian release. The sound card os a SoundPro Soundblaster/PRO compatible card that has absolutely no marking on it. The chip it uses is a SoundPro HT1869V+ (F30446) 9729. Thanks a million! Doug

I'm pretty much totally ignorant as far as setting up sound is concerned, but here is what I did. Your mileage may vary. The first thing you need to do is to find out all the info you can on your sound card: IRQ, I/O addresses, DMA. You can get this info from within win9X, buy going into the control panel, clicking on system, then clicking on your sound card, or something to that effect. Sorry, but I haven't used windows in a while :) Now I got a list similar (with less detail) off of another mailing list. I was lucky because the guy had the same card I have (SB AWE 64), and my setting were the same. I don't know what all the specs are. I'll indicate where I'm clueless with an '***', and I'll give you the values I entered in brackets []. Next get into the /usr/src/linux dir and type make xconfig. Then do each of these: click on Sound click y for Sound card support click y for Sound Blaster (SB, SBPro, SB16, clones) support scroll down a little ways click y for /dev/dsp and /dev/audio support click y for MIDI interface support click y for FM systhesizer (YM3812/OPL-3) support enter your I/O base address for I/O base for SB...[I entered 220] enter yor IRQ for Sound Blaster IRQ...[5] enter your DMA for Sound Blaster DMA...

Booting problems
A friend of mine is having problems booting for some reason. He makes a kernel and uses a boot disk to boot Linux, and we just tried compiling the 2.2.1 kernels on his machine. Now the boto disks says Loading Linux and just stops. We've tried compiling the 2.0.34 kernels, which is what he was using before this happened, and the same problem keeps happening. We've tried multiple disks, but can't get any kind of a different action. He doesn't want to use lilo (who knows why) and we use the standard make dep clean zImage modules modules_install install to compile a kernel. Anyone have any ideas as to why this keeps happening and a way to fix it?

Re: Few ideas
I've been pondering on Debian's future more and more, and I've wondered if: 1) The package system could switch on something more source-based. I mean, there have been a few discussions on optimizing packages. (Debian-i686) On a compile it yourself, the package can hardly be more optimized to your computer. So get the source packages then. :-) As far as I know, source is available for everything as that is a requirement for getting into the Debian distribution. You can download source packages, or get them from a CD vendor. The source is on a separate cd. I know it's available. Hey, it's GNU/Linux! =) My point is whether we could make this a standard part of apt/dselect/dpkg along with .debs

Going back to RedHat (but only for a while)
Reply-To: Hi Well after using Debian for the last three months I am going back to Redhat, queue flame war ... Well actually this is only going to temporary as I want to track the latest Gnome stuff and this is much easier on RedHat unless you have time to complile all the assoiciated libraries etc every other day. I just wanted to say thanks to all who helped me move to Debian in the first place and offer some thoughts after running both systems. I have run Redhat exclusively for the three yesr (4.0 - 5.1) then Debian for the last three months (Hamm upgraded to Slink). I just installed RedHat 5.2 this week. I use it every day for my work so I guess I get a good feel for how a distribution feels. Well RedHat is slick, very slick. It installs easily in 15 minutes and autodetects everything including a plug and play sound card. It also let me configure a printer to the company Novell network through its GUI config tool. Graphics card support is very good including latest Matrox products (G200). However once installed it leaves a feeling of lack of depth. The number of applications available in the distribution is limited compared to Debian. Sure you can get them from the contrib directory at Redhats ftp site but they aren't tested by anyone you just have to trust who ever decided to post them. I would rather compile my own stuff than do that. Also the documentation for RedHat is no where near as good as Debian. If you buy official RedHat then you get a very nice thick installation manual but the documentation in /usr/doc doesen't seem as good as Debians. Linuxconf wil let you config most of the basic system stuff (user accounts host files, etc) and it seems to work pretty well now (unlike in 5.1). However you wont learn how stuff actually works by using it. In conclusion RedHat is a good solid very proffesional distribution taht is easy to install. Its perfect for the market they seem to be aiming at these days (ie corporate server). However you will learn more with Debian and it has many more WELL TESTED and integrated packages. So to all those Newbies struggling along with Debian keep it up its worth it. Don't go to RedHat you may get it up and running the basics faster but after that its not as good. Debian looks like it will soon catch in this field though what with APT and so on. I will be junking RedHat as soon as possible and coming back to Debian as soon as possible. Probably once Gnome 1.0 is out and Potatoe moves to freeze. Again thanks to all those who have helped me out during the last few months and see you all again soon.

HDD LED ON continously with Kernel 2.2.1-ac5
Hello: A real quirk has raised its head upon my Debian GNU/Linux box. I have compiled and put the devel. kernel 2.2.1-ac5. When I boot into this test kernel, the HDD LED glows ON and does not get OFF when there is no seek. It remains ON until I shut off the machine. Why is this so ? While compiling the kernel, I had enabled 'Direct DMA support'. Is this creating the wanton quirk ? I presume that the HDD LED ON does not damage my Hard Disk and am real puzzled... ragOO, VU2RGU -- Keeping the Air-Waves FREE.Amateur Radio Keeping the WWW FREE..Debian GNU/Linux

x
I'm new to Linux and am having trouble getting the x windows going on my machine. I have downloaded everything needed for the install base I selected at installation time(or at least I think I've got everything), but when XF86Setup runs and exits, it attempts to start the xserver and gives me the following error: _X11TransSocketUNIXConnetc: Can't connect: errno = 111 It gives me this several times before aborting. Also, the XF86Config settings that I entered in XF86Setup are not saved in the config file, is this something that I will have to edit myself. Again, I'm new to Linux but extremely interested in learning to use it. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Jeremy Savoy [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Second, install the `autofs' package. Most likely, it'll create an /etc/auto.amnt for you; you can put the filesystems you want to mount using the automounter in that file, and now those entries are available as /amnt/entry on your computer.

I've compiled my own kernals (I am using a self-compiled 2.0.36) but use make clean make dep and make xconfig. What is make-kpkg?

I copy down here the file /usr/doc/kernel-package/Rationale.gz for the advantages and disadvantages of this method: Advantages of using make-kpkg -- -- - - I have been asked several times about the advantages of using the kernel-package package over the traditional Linux way of hand compiling kernels, and I have come up with this list. This is off the top of my head, I'm sure to have missed points yet. Any additions welcomed. i) Convenience. I used to compile kernels manually, and it involved a series of steps to be taken in order; kernel-package was written to take all the required steps (it has grown beyond that now, but essentially, that is what it does). This is especially important to novices: make-kpkg takes all the steps required to compile a kernel, and installation of kernels is a snap. ii) It allows you to keep multiple version of kernel images on your machine with no fuss. iii) It has a facility for you to keep multiple flavours of the same kernel version on your machine (you could have a stable 2.0.33 version, and a 2.0.33 version patched with the latest drivers, and not worry about contaminating the modules in /lib/modules) iv) It knows that some architectures do not have vmlinuz (using vmlinux instead), and other use zImage rather than bzImage, and calls the appropriate target, and takes care of moving the correct file into place. v) Several other kernel module packages are hooked into kernel-package, so one can seamlessly compile, say, pcmcia modules at the same time as one compiles a kernel, and be assured that the modules so compiled are compatible. vi) It enables you to use the package management system to keep track of the kernels created. Using make-kpkg creates a .deb file, and dpkg can track it for you. This facilitates the task of other packages that depend on the kernel packages. vii) It keeps track of the configuration file for each kernel image in /boot, which is part of the image package, and hence is the kernel image and the configuration file are always together. viii) It allows you to specify a directory with config files, with separate config files for each subarchitecture (even allows for different config files for 2386, i486, etc). It is really neat for people who need to compile kernels for a variety of sub architectures. ix) It allows to create a package with the headers, or the sources, also as a deb file, and enables the package management system to keep track of those (and there are packages that depend on the package management system being aware of these packages) x) Since the kernel image package is a full fledged Debian package, it comes with maintainer scripts, which take care of details like offering to make a boot disk, manipulating symbolic links in / so

I have a cd in front of me that gcd refuses to play because cddb doesn't produce a match for that CD id Matthew -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Steward of the Cambridge Tolkien Society Selwyn College Computer Support http://www.cam.ac.uk/CambUniv/Societies/tolkien/ http://pick.sel.cam.ac.uk/ Debian GNU/Hurd - love at first byte

The filtrix capabilities are a shame. Even a word 6/95/97 document fails exporting. The rtf exported documents aren't recognized by nobody in the world. I think Corel shouldn't release such version with so many pitfalls. I'm disappointed with WP. Definitely! I'll stay with StarOffice.

I think xmcd has an intrerface to that. Also try the www.cddb.com site.

chmod on vfat
Only root can write to a vfat partition. I suppose because vfat contains no extended attributes for security you cannot simply chmod on a file/directory to allow someone other than root to write to it. Any work arounds to allow someone other than root to write to a vfat partition? The latest NTFS driver shipped in 2.2.1 seem to work pretty nicely with full chmod capabilites.
Re: NCR53C8xx Problem
I am having a similar problem using this driver with 2.2.1. My system hangs on boot shortly after detecting my SCSI hard drive and my IDE CD-R using SCSI emulation...everything works fine under 2.0.36...is it possible that this driver conflicts with SCSI emulation in some way...?

Any : work arounds to allow someone other than root to write to a vfat : partition? Yeah, use an fstab entry like this (this is ntfs but applies to vfat/msdos also afaik) /dev/hda1 /ntdrv1 ntfs user,exec,nosuid,gid=50,umask=002 0 2 /dev/hda2 /ntdrv2 ntfs user,exec,nosuid,gid=50,umask=002 0 2 In this case we allow the group staff write access; any user has read access. You could change the umask to mean that only staff has read access, and that normal users have no access whatsoever.

I suppose because vfat contains no extended attributes for security you cannot simply chmod on a file/directory to allow someone other than root to write to it. Any work arounds to allow someone other than root to write to a vfat partition? This is what I have done. I created a group called dos with gid of 35(this could be whatever you want, see man for adduser). Then I just added users of the local machine to that group(see man for adduser). Then mount the drives with gid=35 and umask=007. Below are the bits of my fstab for my three vfat partitions. /dev/hda1 /bri/cvfatrw,quiet,unhide,gid=35,umask=007,user /dev/hda6 /bri/dvfatrw,quiet,unhide,gid=35,umask=007,user /dev/hdc5 /bri/evfatrw,quiet,unhide,gid=35,umask=007,user See man for mount and fstab. If you don't use the quiet option(see man for mount)you get messages like 'Operation not supported:..' because as you said above vfat does not have extended attributes.

XF86SETUP Help needed...
I know that this question has been asked before, but since I am a new user of Debian, I need some help on setting yp XF86... Now I started the XF86Setup prg., and went thru each one of the menus, from the mouse, keyboard, which I chose 102, instead of the 101 type, then to my Video card, which is an OAK, and in the list it had OAK Generic, and used that, the card is a OTI-067/077 model...Then onto the monitor which as a Horizontal freq., of 30-60khz, the vertical is 50-90hz, and what little info thats in the manual that the Max resolution is 1024X768... I have tried different settings 640X480 mode using 8bpp, even 16bpp and 1024x768 settings with SVGA to just plain VGA-16, I've gone thru all and when I click the done, it then, takes the info that I have provided and restarts it backup... Then when I save the configuration, I then am returned to root, from there I tried many times to startx, and I get this: xinit: Connection refused (error 111) unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (error 3): Server error... Is there anyone that maybe able to explain to me what I need to do to get it up and running correctly, I would appreicate in hearing from anyone concerning this issue...Since I have tried all of the different settings, I am at a loss as to what is needed to fix my problem...

Re: What does netdate want back from udp-37 server?
Are you sure your server is replying with a correct destination port? The server needs to send a packet back to the same port which the client used. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm trying to write a mainframe (MVS) timserver (udp-37 only). I test it with a Debian 2.0 cmd netdate udp mvs.ip.address, which sends a 1-byte 0x0A message. My server sends back a 32-bit unsigned number (# of seconds since 1900-01-01, per RFC868), but the Debian netdate command times out. 1. Why doesn't the netdate command send an empty datagram, per RFC868? 2. What exactly is netdate expecting back from udp port-37? 3. Why does RFC868 mention negative 32-bit values: -1,297,728,000 17 Nov 1858 GMT?
