KDE slink
Si no recuerdo mal, KDE estaba en hamm, pero no lo veo en slink. ¿Es cierto que estaba en hamm? Si lo es, ¿es cierto que no está en slink? Si no está, ¿por qué? Tenía entendido que los problemas pseudo-legales con la biblioteca Qt de Troll Tech. ya estaban medio resueltos, y ahora resulta que no está ni en non-free. Los paquetes DEB de KDE sí están por ahí, pero hay que instalarlos a mano y dan un montón de problemas de dependencias. Por ejemplo, KDE 1.1, que según KDE está ya en stable, depende de una versión de Qt que en Debian está en potato, con lo cual empiezas a instalar y acabas con una mezcla de bo, hamm, slink, potato y la madre que los parió que parece que tengas Windows 96 OSR4.87 (más Internet Explóter y Pus!). Yo me he puesto al final a mano KDE 1.0 (2:980710-1.0-1), pero he sufrido un poco. ¿Cómo se dice, el ka-de-é o las ka-de-é? Supongo que el ka-de-é es el Kool Desktop Environment (el Entorno de Eskritorio Guay del Paraguay -o tal vez guay de Wyoming-), mientras que las ka-de-é son las aplikaciones que siguen el estilo de KDE. -- G.

Hola a todos... He visto que se esta tratando de lanzar el glib2.1, y como supongo, que el cambio desde 2.0.7, puede ser algo traumatico, me gustaria documentarme sobre el proceso de actualizacion, pero no se donde buscar esta documentacion. ¿Me podeis ayudar? Gracias y saludos.

Mientras potato sea unstable, y mientras no se vayan resolviendo los problemas que glibc 2.1 genere, esos problemas estarán ahí, en potato, y todo el que se actualice topará con ellos.

Bueno, es una pequeña broma... Lo que quiero decir es que ahora más que nunca la gente debe ser consciente de lo que significa la palabra unstable. Puede ocurrir cualquier cosa. Si, como cuando salio perl 5.005. Realmente llevo algun tiempo instalando paquete de potato, y consideraba que era estable en un grado bastante alto. No es lo mismo que una version de un gestor de ventanas sea mas o menos estable, a que lo sea el bash, por ejemplo. Todavia recuerdo, cuando empece a pasar de bo a hamm (libc5 a libc6): una aventura, tuve que reinstalar el bo un para de veces, me quede una vez sin bash..., si no es por la lista, dejo de usar Debian. Por eso, cuando he visto que habia salido el glibc2.1, un sudorcillo helado, me recorrio la espalda, y me he dicho cuidadin y a leer, que la otra vez no lo hice y mira. Ahora tengo la oportunidad de dar marcha atras, dispongo de un ordenador en el trabajo, con dos discos duros, en uno tengo una potato bastante probada, y en otro un duplicado, he empezado a cambiar cosas ayer mismo con extraños resultados. Ayer instale libc6, y hoy me decia que no estaba instalada, en fin no desesperemos. Saludos.
URGENTE: Visita de Miguel de ICAZA a Madrid, Marzo99
http://www.gsyc.inf.uc3m.es/actividades/doc-gnome-99/ Lo primero es pedir disculpas a todos los que recibáis este mensaje que no podáis venir a Madrid. Sé lo que es vivir en la periferia, pero el anuncio es tan importante que se merece la máxima distribución. La próxima semana Miguel de Icaza visita España, en concreto Madrid por gentileza de la Universidad Carlos III. Entre el programa de actividades figura una serie de conferencias y seminarios y una gran conferencia en la Carlos III donde además participaremos otros ponentes. Tendremos la oportunidad de conocer de primera mano la arquitectura y desarrollo de GNOME de la mano de un programador internacionalmente reconocido. Estamos hablando de la persona de habla hispana con más méritos en el mundo Linux y del software libre en general. Se prevé incluso organizar un FIESTORRO en algún pub de la capital. Para los que no lo sepáis, la Universidad Carlos III está en Leganés pero debo señalar que es FRANCAMENTE SENCILLO llegar hasta allí en transporte público. No os desaniméis por ello. Una cosa más: para la tarde el martes tenemos un aforo de unas 2000 personas: TENEMOS QUE LLENARLO! ¡¡Estáis TODOS convocados!! PD: Este anuncio ha sido publicado en varios foros. Si tenéis constancia de que no lo he enviado a algún foro concreto, por favor, remitid una copia.

Hardware Detection App to compliment apt
I was wondering... RedHat has it's install app, SuSE has YAST, and now Caldera has LIZARD. All these have one thing in common: automatic hardware detection and installation. Does debian have anything like this in the making? Apt is good at what it does, but the newbie market wants that kind of ease with hardware. When we say it is easy to install debian we don't mean hardware detection. We mean apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade is easy. In the setup for X, pppconfig, and for network cards, it would be nice if debian had an equivalent install app with the other leading distros. If debian is going to shine in a new area (where stablity, upgrade, and package management is already the best), it should be in the install app. I'm not a coder, so I can't complain (I love debian); but this would be a great addition...

Since you had to edit a file in that case you can still achive the same effect by editing different files, depending on what you want. 1) Edit the /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file and commenting out the local server line. Xdm will be running but no local Xserver will be running, it will just be listening for XDMCP connections. 2) Edit /etc/init.d/xdm and insert an 'exit 0' at the top of the file.

If debian is going to shine in a new area (where stablity, upgrade, and package management is already the best), it should be in the install app. I'm not a coder, so I can't complain (I love debian); but this would be a great addition...

Re: Slink upgrade and xwindows
I would like to say a couple of things, I am just seeing this for the first time. I do understand now the reason that these packages were activated, and I do appreciate the work that Branden and others do/have done for Debian. I am sorry if I offended any developers as my comment was pretty harsh. I also have some comments about the upgrade, development in general, etc. which I will insert in context below. On Sun, Mar 14, 1999 at 07:32:59PM -0800, George Bonser wrote: Well, maybe I should READ those package descriptions :) I *did* read the description in question. I should make this the offical motto of the Debian X packages I don't know how I am supposed to support XFree86 if people won't read: 1) the Debian release notes 2) the Debian package descriptions 3) anything in /usr/doc/* with the string README in the filename 4) anything in /usr/doc/* with the string FAQ in the filename 5) a prompt in the xbase postinst that says: I honestly feel that this is a bit much to ask of someone who is installing or especially upgrading software. If people read all of these documents they wouldnt have time for anything else especially considering that x is only one part of the whole distribution. That is why people use distributions- so that they won't have to read every document about every package in the distribution. I believe that the job of developers is to make installation and maintainance easy. I upgraded to stay up to date, install a couple of new packages and be able to install new packages in the future without hassles. I did read a lot of the great x reorganization but I just don't have all the time in the world. Also, I uninstalled xbase as soon as my upgrade was done. However I don't remember anything telling me to uninstall the two packages xdm and xfs, although I did remember something about them in the great x revolution. The xbase package is obsolete and may be removed (with dpkg --remove xbase). If you are upgrading from Debian 2.0 or earlier, you should read the usr/doc/xbase/README.Debian file. Read this file now? (y/n) [y] Did that. There is NO WAY this message did not appear at the time the xbase package was upgraded. I sometimes wonder why I bother writing any documentation at all. People will just ignore it and then chime in with profound insights like Your documentation is fine. Keep up the good job. THIS--SUCKS when anything changes. I don't say that everytime that something changes. This was a big system change that could have been avoided. To be specific, you could have written into the install script something that asked the user if they wanted x to run at bootup and also mention that getting a console will be undoable, or a real hassle anyway. I got rid of the problem in short order. I read about linux all the time, I am no expert but know more than the average linux user I have met- I'm not trying to brag, I'm just saying that I really work at it and I feel I do pretty good. I read but aren't we trying to make linux usable by a broader spectrum of user? I have tried very hard to get the Debian XFree86 packages into a state where they reliably meet two goals: 1) they help out the user who doesn't know X inside and out 2) they stay out of the way of the user who knows exactly what he's doing I don't mean to slam your work Branden, I think its great. Please just take this as a suggestion and a lesson in development. Being a good developer is a hard job, it requires a lot of insight into not only users needs but thier limitations. If I had not read the great x reoganization (and I imagine that a great many upgraders didn't) I would have had a much harder time of it. Please don't slam people for not reading everything. That is why you are needed- because they don't have time, or maybe they just aren't capable of understanding everything- again, that is why you are needed. Needless to say, they are far from perfect in achieving these ends, but if you have an argument that the X packages as they were a year ago when I took over maintainership were better at doing the above than they are now, I'd like to hear it. I like the new organization, I switched from Red Hat just because of the additional level of control in debian- just because I was bummed about one thing doesn't mean that *I* don't like the new organization.

Well, this may not be exactly what you're looking for, but when I need something custom built, I'll often download the Debian source packages (.orig.tar.gz, .diff, and .dsc), use dpkg-source to unpack and patch the sources, then make whatever changes I need to the source. Then I can just run 'debian/rules binary' in the source directory and get a customized Debian package. I usually make a note in the control file that this is a local build and should not necessarily be upgraded when a new version of the Debian package comes along.

Once you've formatted the new drive and created a filesystem on it, mount
it to some directory ('mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb /mnt'). Then you could
actually use the following command:
Try 'cp -ax / /mnt'
See the manpage for cp for info on the -a flag. I used -x in this case to
tell cp to not copy stuff on other filesystems. In this case, it's
important to keep cp from copying the contents of /mnt back over itself.
Of course, this is by no means the cleanest way of doing things...But it's
relatively quick and painless. There are other ways to do this involving
tar or cpio that work just as well. I moved my Debian installation from a
single partition on a 1.2 gig drive to 6 different partitions on a 6.4 gig
drive without any trouble using cp -a. That was over a year ago, and
things have worked flawlessly ever since.

Upgrading 2.1 - Potato

some other documentation.
Mainly I want to know the best way to upgrade from slink to potato. I'm
quite knowledgeable about Debian (I've been using slink for a loong time
now) but the last time I tried it, the new glibc2.1 broke just about
everything (including dpkg/gzip!). Is there a specific order in which I
should upgrade?
Would an apt-get upgrade to the unstable branch suffice?
Thanks!

hello all, Ive come accross a couple of static binaries in my search for windoze replacements, and since i download the occasional source to apps not in deb's i was wondering how one makes these. Now from what i understand they do not depend on lib's on my system as they are compiled in - thus making them much bigger - is this right. Anyway i have some favorite apps and thought if i can make static version myself then i dont have to worry about them breaking when i upgrade in future, which most invariably do and not all of these are kept up to date with newer libs. sigh i had hoped that with linux id escape that loathsome M$ style dll hell goes not. With my latest upgrade ( running potato ) i broke star office, and now question wheter if i buy a commercial app or game im going to eventually have to chuck it, or fork out for a upgrade , Since no doubt newer apps will require newer lib's etc sighh Im somewhat dissapointed to find im still stuck with that sort of mess :( Id hoped to escape it with linux. Of course its ussually not a problem with free source but ive found unless those are kept up to date eventually they just break as well. ( Yes i know update them yourself etc, id like to learn c++ but linux seems to be mostly c, so ive settled on learning the bash shell... first, then i'll aim higher :) ) Anyway linux now is my preffered OS though ive still got some windoze apps i have not found replacements for. ie Quicken, diary, several games . And yes i know about wine ( great effort :) ) ( windoze does it better )- i just want to lose windows completely.

The problem have been reported by several people. However, I still don't know how to recover the system after reading those replies, :(. I'd appreciate if anyone can outline a procedure to recover from this situation. For the moment, I can only boot with a 2.0.34 floppy and see the hard disk. Any guidance is very much appreciated. After booting from the rescue floppy, find the file called /vmlinuz on your hard drive (yes in the root directory). It is a symbolic link to a file called /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.1. Delete the /vmlinuz file and make a new symbolic link ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.34 /vmlinuz Now rerun lilo by simply typing 'lilo'. Now you can reboot off the hard drive with your old kernel. As for what caused the 'no init found' error. My guess is lack of block device support in the new kernel.

kernel module dependencies
I compiled a kernel with NLS and iso9660 as modules. When I tried to mount a cd I got a message saying that iso9660 was not supported by the kernel. Tried installing iso9660 with insmod and got a bunch of unresolved symbol errors all relating to nls. If I run 'insmod nls' first and then try to mount the cd, it works great. I figure that kerneld should see that when mounting a cd, isofs is needed which in turn needs nls and deal with the dependencies. Am I right about this ? I didn't have this problem with kernel 2.0.30 although I couldn't swear that I made nls a module when I was compiling 2.0.30. If I am right about this, should I be reporting this as a bug to someone,and if so, to whom ? Thanks, Gerald

Obtain hostnames from IP addresses
Hello!
Does anyone know how to obtain hostnames (e.g., skywalker.termol.uv.es)
from IP addresses (e.g., 147.156.6.236). I've written this program:
#include netdb.h
#include sys/socket.h
#include stdio.h
#include string.h
int main() {
int l;
char addr[]=147.156.6.236;
struct hostent *ph;
l=strlen(addr);ph=gethostbyaddr(addr,l,AF_INET);
if (ph!=NULL) fprintf(stderr,%d:\t%s\n,i,ph-h_name);
else perror(gethostbyaddr());
return 0;
}
following the recommendations of a informatic friend of mine about using
function gethostbyaddr, but I obtain:
147.156.6.236: gethostbyaddr(): Address family not supported by protocol
With man 3 gethostbyaddr I read The only valid address type is
currently AF_INET, and when reading /usr/include/sys/socket.h and
/usr/include/socketbits.h I see that AF_INET is 2 for the IP protocol
family.
Thus, what is wrong?
Is there any program (like a filter: input address in stdin, output name
in stdout) that could do it? I've tried with nslookup but doesn't work
(and it worked last month).

I have a local network of two dual-PII's (192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3) that I want to be able to NSF-mount a local mirror of the distribution and have relaxed security, so relevant parts of my hosts.allow looks like: --- # /etc/hosts.allow: list of hosts that are allowed to access the system. # See the manual pages hosts_access(5), hosts_options(5) # and /usr/doc/netbase/portmapper.txt.gz # # Example:ALL: LOCAL @some_netgroup # ALL: .foobar.edu EXCEPT terminalserver.foobar.edu # # If you're going to protect the portmapper use the name portmap for the # daemon name. Remember that you can only use the keyword ALL and IP # addresses (NOT host or domain names) for the portmapper. See portmap(8) # and /usr/doc/netbase/portmapper.txt.gz for further information. # # Allow np1 and np2 to NFS mount files and rsh in here portmap: 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3 rpc.mountd: 192.168.1. rpc.nfsd: 192.168.1. in.rshd: 192.168.1. in.rlogind: 192.168.1. in.ugidd: 192.168.1. --- I'm not sure I need to allow ugidd, and rsh/rlogin is for pvm and mpi, but the others are needed. Hope this helps, and comments from someone who knows more are gratefully accepted. --Norris -- Dr. Norris Preyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept. of Physics and Astronomy (843) 953-7997 (voice) College of Charleston (843) 953-4824 (fax) Charleston, SC 29424 http://galaxy.cofc.edu/
Use the source luke
I really really want to install Gnome, but the only reason I haven't done so yet is because I cannot decide whether to install by source, or by .deb. Normally I wouldn't worry about this, as I used to use another distribution (name not mentioned to protect the guilty) and so I had no choice. I recently installed debian and it is *very* good. The dselect program confused me at first, but now I am very familiar with it, and have changed my opinion regarding package management. Arghhh!!! what shall I do?? Any opinions are welcome :) Regards, Shaun 'new debian convert' Lipscombe -- colonel Legion of Doom Serbian BATF Mossad CIA supercomputer kibo bomb $400 million in gold bullion class struggle nuclear cryptographic assassination fissionable
