Re: [linux-l] - DEBIAN 2.1 + ACCESO REMOTO
Saludos Angel El planteamiento que te hago (aunque tengo mucho tiempo sin hacerlo) es utilizar sudo el cual te permite hacer un cambio de UID de manera dinamica...sin que el usuario se entere, y solo para el comando o script que tu desees... Otra manera es colocando en el script alguna funcion como setuid() para lograr un cambio de UID... Para mas informacion consulta el man sudo (si lo tienes instalado, pero generalemente se instala por default) y el man setuid Saludos y espero que te sirva de algo Carlos A. Molina G.

Re: ayuda sobre doc-debian-es
El Fri, Apr 23, 1999, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hice el dpkg -i doc-debian-es.deb Pero no he visto como puedo usar los man en español, pueden indicarme que debo hacer o que me debo leer para lograrlo Creo que el paquete de las manpages es `manpages-es', ese otro son HOWTOs y demás. No olvides definir la variable de entorno `LANG'. Hazlo en el `~/.bash_profile', o en `/etc/environment', siquieres quequede definidapara todoslos usuarios. Normalmente este último archivo no existe por defecto, sino que está el `/etc/profile', pero el primero también lo lee Xwindow. Queda así: LANG=es_ES.ISO-8859-1 export LANG Y con esto creo que es suficiente para que, si las hay, tenga preferencia la página de manual en español frente a la inglesa.

Mi consulta es la siguiente: Tengo los fuentes de un programa y quiero hacer un paquete .deb, para instalarlo con dpkg y no romper mi base de datos de paquetes instalados. Ten en cuenta que siempre puedes instalarlo en /usr/local, ahí no se mete Debian. Tienes razón, pero mi intención es aprovecharme de las ventajas de dpkg. El mejor link que te puedo dar es http://www.debian.org/devel, aunque la documentación que hay sobre empaquetamiento es un poco pobre (espero ayudar a ella en breve). Puedes también probar a instalar el paquete 'maint-guide' que tiene información interesante y que quizás sea lo que estás buscando. 'Debian-policy' aunque más estirado también puede ser útil (para determinados tipos de paquetes). Estoy ahora mismo estudiando la documentación que me indicas. No tiene mala pinta, aunque todavía no he empezado a ponerla en práctica. ¿Hay alguien en Debian dedicado a estudiar 'desideratas' de los usuarios? Creo que cualquier desarrollador las atiende. Por ejemplo, si me das un URL yo mismo quizás pueda esta semana hacerlo (si no es un paquete muy complicado, esto es). Pues no sé si soy yo la persona adecuada para evaluar el grado de complejidad de un paquete. Empezando por que he sido incapaz de compilarlo normalmente por el método tradicional, aunque sólo genera un par de binarios: /usr/src/GPhoto-root make make -C src make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/GPhoto/src' gcc -g -D_GNU_SOURCE -Wall -m486 -c main.c -I/usr/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I./icons/ In file included from main.c:1: main.h:7: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory In file included from main.c:2: gphoto.h:7: gdk_imlib.h: No such file or directory gphoto.h:8: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [main.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/GPhoto/src' make: *** [gphoto] Error 2 Ya que no me corre ninguna prisa, pues encontré otro paquete (fujiplay) que cumple la misma función y que no me ha dado ningún problema, estoy pensando en actualizar primero el sistema a Slink y dedicarme después a éste menester. Por si acaso a alguien le resultan útiles estos paquetes (transfieren imágenes desde una cámara digital al pc) estos son los links: http://www.gphoto.org gPhoto is an universal, free GTK+ application that will allow downloading, saving, and manipulation of images from several different digital camera models, or from the local harddrive. http://topo.math.u-psud.fr/~bousch/fujiplay.html A program to download pictures from some Fujifilm digital cameras, like the DS-7 and MX-700, using the serial link. It can also press the shutter, upload images to the camera, or delete images from the camera. Aunque de momento uso Fujiplay, al no estar específicamnete acogido a la GPL (se autodenomina public domain), preferiría en un futuro usar GPhoto, que sí es GPL (y creo haber leído se integrará en el proyecto Gnome ¿?) Otra posibilidad, por supuesto, es que te conviertas tú mismo en desarrollador de Debian (ya tienes, como tuve yo, el motivo suficiente: un paquete).

The trouble is propbably that the PCI card is in the first PCI slot, the bios has problems reporting it to the kernel. Check the /proc/pci what irq it has, if no irq is shown than its the PCI slot. You can either change position of the card or turn PCI to manual in the bios, and assigning a free irq to that card. On thr other hand you could be lucky and have just misconfigured. make sure that the correct module is loaded then go to /etc/init.d/networks and check that the values are correct. /nisse On Sat, 17 Apr 1999, Karl Gordon wrote: Hi I'm running Hamm on a Micron Millenia XKU 333 with a 3Com Etherlink 905B PCI installed.

I'd prefer to change it on my home machine rather than write a script or something in my school account to detect and fix it automatically- that seems like a hack to me. The definitions for terminal types are kept in the ncurses packages. Specifically, xterm, xterm-xfree86, and xterm-debian are in ncurses-base. The file /usr/doc/xterm/README.Debian addresses the issue you raise. Yes, detecting it on the remote end and changing it is a hack, but it's a necessary one. The simple fact is, XFree86's xterm program has some small incompatibilities with that of the last X Consortium release of xterm.

IMO it's embarrasing that most PCI modem manufacturers are making them winmodems. Talk about cheap! I'm not sure this is true. The PCI modem I bought last week is linux incompatible; it uses shared memory instead of an I/O address and IRQ. There's a Windows driver called the modem enumerator, which emulates a port for Windows apps to use. From what I read on the web, the shared memory interface doesn't mean Winmodem; unfortunately, it's just not really documented by the manufacturers. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3TYD.

Yep, apart that about 1000 km... it would be annoying to make some
disaster, the main task of that system ends out with sending mail.
NB but I'd have to configure smail on it for it not to act as an open
NB email relay, that is for it not to accept and forward email
NB messages coming from other boxes.
I have smtp_remote_allow=localnet in smail's config, so only connects
from localnet may specify a non-local destination address.
I use smail 3.2.0.102-1, but I believe relay control has been added in
3.2.0.100 or such some.

Alas I fear that the version string Smail-3.2 1996-Jul-4 #2 means
_before_ that feature was added, sendmail does not work any more, the
above line is what I got when I tried to send out mail as a user of the
box.
I have ftp'ed the smail docs and man pages from that 1.3.1 box and have
just started reading (I've also looked for the attribute smtp_remote_allow
with no success so far). See attachment: tried a quick test with no
results, I mean smail was still working but still acting as an open email
relay. I'll have to read more... well I could also look for an old smail
package, just less old than the one running there, enough to support the
attribute you suggested but not enough to be incompatible with libraries

I'm looking for a cd player that supports the cddb and that can cache cd data locally, so it can used the cached data when it's detached from the network. I wonder if there's some way to make xmcd do this? Anyone have any hints? -- see shy jo
Re: seeking cd player with network detached cddb support
The cddb package is sopposed to do this for you. It stores the db in /var/lib/cddb -- If you do have cddb installed, it's probably just a matter of configuring xmcd to make use of it. -Brad On Sat, 24 Apr 1999, Joey Hess wrote: I enjoy using xmcd to play cd's on my laptop, but it's less pleasant when I'm on the rooad and my laptop's not on the net, because xmcd can't query the cddb then for cd information.

Re: adding to PATH
I'm not sure exactly where your path is coming from. However, a couple of points: you need export PATH somewhere to make PATH part of the global environment (not just limited to within the profile script; you can extent the path thus: export PATH=$PATH:addition to end of path or export PATH=addition to beginning of path:$PATH What you set in /etc/profile should (according to the FM) should be read whenever you open a login shell, so maybe you just forgot to export the PATH. The only other place I think this could be set is ~/.profile, so you might want to check that out. HTH Rich Arcady Genkin wrote: Hi all: I'm having a problem adding to a system-wide PATH variable...

printing in kde kmail
Hi, I am running slink and have kde desktop setup and running nicely. However, I can't seem to get any printing done in it. It seems that when I print in kmail or with the kde web browser I get a whole bunch of ascii characters output into my printer and subsequently printed. I have no clue as to how to even begin to fix this because the documentation for kde doesn't say much about printing. I am using apsfilter as my printer filter and it works great with all the other program on my system that doesn't have anything to do with kde like netscape and wordperfect and etc. Anyway, does anyone have any idea what I should do in order to correct this problem? Any clue would be appreciated. Shawn Nguyen
Re: adding to PATH
I believe /etc/profile IS the place where the system-wide default PATH is defined.

X woes
I'm having some problems with xfree86. I can't put my portuguese keyboard working as it should. The layout is ok but the dead keys don't work. I went to the symbols directory and altered the pt file so that the dead keys work (substitued asciitilde, asciicircum, etc... for dead_tilde, dead_circumflex, etc), and my XF86Config goes like this: XkbRulesxfree86 XkbModelpc101 XkbLayout pt XkbVariant XkbOptions After I exit x there is a message saying: The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: Error:No Symbols named in the include file pt Exiting Abandoning Symbols file default Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap waiting for X server to shut down I tried replacing pt in XkbLayout for dk or es and they have the same error. I also replaced it for us and there is no error. I also tried to change the config like this XkbKeycodes xfree86 XkbTypesdefault XkbCompat default XkbSymbols en_US(pc105)+pt XkbGeometry pc(pc105) or pc(pc101) or pc(pc102) and I get no error, but the keyboard doesn't work with dead keys. Can anybody help with this? Problem 2: xfstt doesn't work. I changed the init.d so he has a different dir: TTFDIR=/win/windows/fonts (yes, unfortunately I still use windows) and added '--dir $TTFDIR' to the start-stop-daemon line (after the '--' and before everything else). I still can't get no ttf fonts. sigh This is annoying me senseless. Any suggestions? Thanks, David

MUTT keys and SCREEN
I have a little problem here which I cannot get to the bottom of :-( When I use MUTT in a SCREEN session, I cannot use any the the key strokes which start with the Escape key. So I cannot do such things as ESC-k for example to send a PGP to someone. However, if I run MUTT in a normal session, then all is well? It makes no difference if I am telneted in, or actually on the console when using 'screen' - still the same result. So, how can make the ESC work in screen/mutt, if at all. -- Nidge Jones
Hard Lock-Up Problems
About a month and a half ago I installed Debian Potato on my Cyrix 686-150(200) system with 32Mb of each of RAM and swap. My experience has been fairly positive, but I am having an extremely annoying problem with hard lockups. I quickly determined that these lockups seemed to be reproducible. Certain files tend to cause lockups when used. I've found a variety of files that do this - a gimp image I did (gzipping or copying), running mozilla m4 uncompressed, decompressing kernel source 2.2.5, etc. This wouldn't be so bad, except that the reboot fsck also seems to choke on this section of disk. It actually seems to be an off and on problem - more on than off - it takes me about 1-20 (random) reboots until the fsck will actually complete without a hard lockup. This little exercise can take around two hours out of my time. Luckily it doesn't seem to be doing too much damage. I'm suspecting something doesn't either like a specific disk position or consecutive positions, or a specific stream of bytes. I'm looking at either hardware, kernel or cmos settings. I'm running a dual boot system and my hardware has previously worked well on Win95, although i believe the motherboard had drivers. My mboard chipset is VXPro-II PCI and I'm using IDE. I've tried the 2.0.36 and 2.2.5 package images and compiling my own 2.2.1 and 2.0.36. I've been pointed to IDE bug workaround kernel compile options, but have tried them turned on. I've checked out the cmos and fiddled with any options that look like they might be a problem. I've tried reading various documentation suggested on the Debian pages (user faq, hardware compatibility), looking for bug reports, etc. So apologies if I've missed something somewhere. All this has come to no avail, so I can only ask the wider populace - do you know what the deal is here? Where is or how could I work out the problem? What can I do about it? Any help would be appreciated. A 'dmesg' output from a successful boot is included from my 2.2.5 kernel.

My problem is that i can't login to the machine, since no user (including root) is defined. maybe you can help out how to add a user and a passwd to the root file system. escpecially, why - 1. changing the /etc/passwd file doesn't enable root login 2. changing the /etc/login.defs doesn't enable login 3. using /usr/sbin/useradd doens't really add a username (only uid). 4. /usr/sbin/adduser doesn't work on my /root file system?

netscape problem
Hello again I am using Netscape 4.5 on a slink box and it has just started to refuse to connect to my ISP proxy server. I have ping'ed the server successfully (avg. time 180ms) and mail and news still seem to be running OK. I have tried closing and restarting NS with no luck and then I closed and restarted X and then started NS again but still no luck. Netscape does try to blame the proxy server but given that everything seems to be alright there I wonder if there is something else I should be checking ? Look forward to replies TIA Ivan.

Re: adding to PATH
When Richard Harran wrote, I replied: To be safe, it's best to set your path on an early line in the file: PATH=whatever:something:else and later (perhaps the next line) export the variable(s): export PATH HOME ...

I'm not sure this is true on Linux, but it is on other *NIX OSs and is, therefore, a good habit to get into. I'm not sure exactly where your path is coming from.

boot.bat: invalid compressed format
Recently, I tried to do a quick-and-dirty slink install on a friend's machine. As I usually do, I copied the install directory to a FAT partition and invoked boot.bat from that directory. However, all I received was Uncompressing Linux... invalid compressed format. My disks are fine, the same procedure works on different hardware. The box is an ancient P90 with Triton Chipset, 64 MB RAM and an Adaptec 1515 host adapter. Any ideas what might be happening here? Is this faulty hardware? The machine runs fine with Windows 98 and NT 4.0. Greetings Marc -- -- !!

/dev/console wrong on upgraded systems (2.0 - 2.1)
Hi, I discovered that on ALL my systems that originally were Debian 2.0 and have been upgraded to Debian 2.1 /dev/console is wrong. It's a link to /dev/tty0 instead of a device special file (mknod -m 622 /dev/console c 5 1). Can anyone pls. check whether this is the case with native 2.1 systems? Anyone know who to inform in case the bug is also present in 2.1?

Bergs [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I followed the instructions in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/serial- console.txt in order to control a Debian box from a serial terminal. That should work. The guy who wrote the serial console kernel stuff, also wrote sysvinit, and also happens to maintain the Debian sysvinit package :) I'm aware of that, and I know that YOU are the guy. :) There IS some output on the screen, but it's not nearly as much as appears on the VGA console, nor can I login on the serial console. Did you: a) create a new /dev/console crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 1 Apr 24 10:22 /dev/console Ok, I'm an idiot. :-( I DID check that the device nodes are ok, but obviously I checked them on the wrong system. :-/ (I have several Linux boxes at home, and I was logged in on a different one to do some sysadmin stuff.) b) run a getty on /dev/ttyS0 (or S1, or whatever) S1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L 9600 ttyS1 No, I did not. I was under the impression that I need not explicitly start a getty on the serial line if the kernel command-line contains console=ttyS0,9600. I thought that a line like this would make the serial console EXACTLY the same as the VGA console, i.e. that I could use both in parallel (everything gets output to both the VGA and serial console, and everything I type on each console gets accepted.) Ok, now that I corrected /dev/console and started a getty on /dev/ttyS0 my setup is working almost as intended with one exception: If I include append=console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600 in my lilo.conf EVERYTHING that one would expect gets output to the serial console, BUT there's a lot of stuff missing on the VGA console. If I reverse the two console statements above, the output changes accordingly (everything appears on the VGA console, but only a subset appears on the serial console.) The problem seems to be related to kernel logging (klogd), since klogd doesn't log ALL messages to syslogd either (there are the SAME lines missing in /var/log/kern.log as in the cases described above.) I already tried starting klogd with -c 8 but to no avail. The volume of output doesn't change. I also tried the debug kernel command-line parameter -- didn't help either. Any idea that could make me happy again? :) Thanks, Ralf -- Sign the EU petition against SPAM: L I N U X .~. http://www.politik-digital.de/spam/The Choice /V\ of a GNU /( )\ Generation ^^-^^

Direct serial connection
Hi, I have the following setup : --- | | | | |A| | B| | | | | --- | | --- | | | Monitor | | | --- The what I would like to do is to use the monitor that I have as a console for both machines A and B. Unfortunately, I cant accomplish this via a CPU switch, thanks to the non-standard monitor cable (Aptiva S90) that I have. I was thinking that maybe I could hook up B as using a serial console, and connect the serial port to the serial port of A, and then somehow get the stuff displayed on a separate window / tty on A. Is this possible? Does anyone have any clues on how to accomplish this? Ideas / suggestions / alternate ideas are welcome. Thanks, Jor-el

You said you hae Debian 1.3, so yes, the smail package is too old for that. You can recompile smail. Get the new sources from the current Debian stable tree (dists/stable/main/source), that is all three packages (.diff.gz. .dsc .tar.gz - use a ftp programm, Netscape will decompress them). Then run dpkg-source -x smail*.dsc cd into the created smail directory fakeroot debian/rules binary From the dependencies, you need at least libident-dev to build it. Check the INSTALL/README file.

I've just done it (after having some trouble due to an incorrect /dev/console device). You need a 2.2.x kernel for this to work or a patched 2.0.x one. Basically you use a kernel command-line parameter of console=ttyS0 to make a serial terminal (box A in your setup) hooked to /dev/ttyS0 on machine B the display for machine B. You also need a getty running on /dev/ttyS0. If you need further assistance feel free to ask here in the list or via personal mail to me.
