Re: Xlib6g y perdida de configuracion teclado (XKB).
El Fri, Jun 18, 1999, Agustín Martín Domingo... Pues reinstalo la Xlib6g de Hamm y Xlib6, pero ahora me doy cuenta que la tecla borrar hacia atr´as no funciona en Xwindow, y veo que los acentos tampoco, ;-) Agustín La libX11 vieja, ¿era la parcheada de Thomas Quinot Agustín y el netscape un libc5? Si es así, puedes hacer lo Agustín siguiente. Bueno, lo he solucionada desinstalando `xfree86-common', paquete del que dependía `xlib6g 3.3.2.3a-11' y reinstalando `xbase' de Hamm. Aunque, no sé porqué, pasava de instalar el archivo `/etc/X11/Xsession', y he tenido que extraer el paquete en `/tmp' y copiarlo manualmente, :-? Ahora Xwindow vuelve a funcionar bien en lo que respecta al teclado, aunque sigo con el servidor vga16 por culpa de mi AGP S3 Trio 3D2X, ;-) Saludines. -- Cosme = -=-=- A través de Debian GNU/Linux -=-=- -=-=- Software Libre -=-=- http://www.linux.org/ S.O.

[IDEA] Perfil para usuarios hispanoparlantes
Se me ha ocurrido que quizás sería buena idea que dentro de los perfiles de la instalación de Debian se incluyera uno para usuarios hispanoparlantes. Creo que hay una seria de paquetes que los usuarios hispanoparlantes se instalarían siempre, a saber: - FAQ-es - doc-linux-es - manpages-es - ispanish Y seguro que hay más que serían interesantes (el control de gasto de timofónica :), mi paquete user-es, si lo aceptan). ¿Qué os parece la idea? Si os parece buena podríais mandarme una lista de paquetes que creais de interés para los hispanoparlantes (relacionados con la diferenciación ideomática o particulares para los diferentes paises..)

Hola a [EMAIL PROTECTED]: El día de ayer envié un e-mail a las listas con el mismo subject que tiene este, infortunadamente tuve que violar una norma de netiquette, debido a una emergencia y no simplemente porque se me vino en gana hacerlo. Hasta el momento he recibido cerca de diez respuestas, pero ninguna trae la solución que necesito; en todas he recibido críticas acerca de la manera como fue escrito dicho mensaje. En mi país la intolerancia y la incomprensión son cosas que campean en nuestras calles y se incuban en el seno de nuestras familias, pensé que en que la Red Internet las cosas podrían ser a otro precio. Lamento decirles que me he decepcionado. Explicación para los incomprensivos que se molestaron por mi mensaje: Soy ingeniero de sistemas (o informática, según lo conozcan en sus respectivos países), conozco perfectamente las reglas de la Red Internet y los manejos de e-mail; cuando escribía el e-mail (molesto) que recibieron completaba 72 horas de investigación acerca del manual para la mainboard que solicité ayuda y otras cosillas. Como podrán comprender estaba exhausto, en el momento en que ingresé a escribir el e-mail se me presentó un problema en mi teclado lo que hizo que quedara todo escrito en mayúscula; estaba demasiado cansado para dedicarme a solucionar ese problema y debía entregar el turno e irme a casa, desafortunadamente olvidé dar una nota donde explicarles el porqué de las mayúsculas, pero supuse que comprenderían. En vista de las circunstancias y con miras a prevenir futuros eventos de este tipo, presento a todas aquellas personas que se hayan molestado por mi violación a las reglas, mis más sinceras disculpas no sin antes solicitar a todos los colisteros un poco más de comprensión en estos casos que he de suponer son esporádicos. De igual manera, les recuerdo que sigo esperando una respuesta a mi e-mail, que agradecería inmensamente.

X-Windows running automatically and not working. :(
I'm terribly new to Debian and Linux in general. After a lot of stuffing about (and some help - thanx John!) I got it installed. But when I tried to configure X-Windows I get a mouse that doesn't respond, a 320x200 resolution or so and can't seem to do anything with the keyboard. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace just flashes back to the shell for a fraction of a second then back into X-Windows. Worst of all, X-Windows runs automatically when I boot so I can't get to the shell to do anything about it. :( Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this please? -- Revenant [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Why use a keyboard layout deliberately designed to be slow and awkward?

Re: X-Windows running automatically and not working. :(
You might try Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or one other function key between 1 and 6). This should get you to a terminal login if the runlevel is 2 (which is usually the default with debian). Then log in as root, type more /etc/inittab. You should see a line that say id:N:initdefault: where N is some number (that is the default runlevel). Remeber that number. Now type cd /etc/rcN.d where N is that runlevel number. Then type ls to get a directory listing. There should be a file like S99xdm. Remove that file with rm S99xdm to stop X from automatically running when you boot up. Now try to fix the problem with X, testing it out with startx. When you fix the problem, you can get X to start automatically again by typing ln -s /etc/init.d/xdm /etc/rcN.d/S99xdm, again where N is the target runlevel. Hope that helps... -- Eric G.

They told that upgrading to libc6.1 fixed the bugs but I cannot find the libc6.1 package neither in stable nor in unstable... It was just a test because the raid you are mentioning was not working also for other reason (an hardware update + an half software update) and we were trying also other solutions.

Re: Danger of software patents in Europe
Software patents are threating the freedom of programmers and users of free software in Europe alike. If this becomes a reality then the Free Software Community will suffer a hard blow to say the least. So if you live in Europe please take this seriously, make your voice heard and tell all other satisfied users of free software products about it! The exploitive nature of software patents is shown pretty clearly by Microsoft's US patent on cascading style sheets, applied for in 1995 and granted this year. http://www.w3.org/1999/02/Patent-Statement It appears that a company can discover the Internet and then take out patents on the technology it finds there. (You mentioned this in your mail but it was lost in the detail.) But these are really ordinary patents. If you invent a method of doing something it doesn't matter whether it is implemented in hardware or software. If the EU is legislating patents for software specifically, then (without knowing the details) it may be a good thing. It could mean that software is being taken out of the scrum of patents in general, and that more appropriate rules will therefore be applied to it. It may be that is will become extremely difficult to patent the solutions to software problems. And that is what cascading style sheets are. Rather than railing at software patents, maybe we should do just what the EU is doing, introduce patents for software, thereby making software unpatentable except under special rules that take account of the nature of software invention and development.
UIDs missing, I have no name!, etc
Greetings all! (Short story version in last paragraph below) I forgot the root password on my mom's Debian box (she doesn't use it; just Win3.x on the other side of the dual-boot). In trying to recover from that (and not knowing what I was doing), I got the machine frozen and couldn't recover control, (okay, I took a break from thinking and tried to run a game that had graphic problems), so finally had to do a hard reset. After reboot, (and e2fsck runs) I couldn't log in as anyone. Restarting in single mode, I was able to log in as root (without remembering the password? how? - I don't remember how I got to that point). Looking at the /etc/passwd file, the first 15 or so lines were garbled with what looked like the output of the mount command. I found a file named /etc/passwd- that looked like a functional copy of the original, so I copied it to /etc/passwd and rebooted into normal mode. Again, I couldn't log in, so I repeated the process and again found the /etc/passwd file to be corrupt. By tinkering I was able to get shadow passwords turned off and then get the /etc/passwd file to stay uncorrupted and then turn shadow passwords back on and reset passwords for the 4 or 5 users on this box (including root), and everything seems to be doing pretty well. The only problem is that if I'm logged in as anyone except root and set my prompt to display my username, it displays instead I have no name! If I do a whoami command, it returns cannot find username for UID 1000 (or whatever the UID is supposed to be. Anyone know the fix for this?

I find that upgrading to apt_0.3.x is a good investment; I make my own CDs, and include a version of apt_0.3.6 compiled for slink in the 'local' area. With a recent version of apt, you can type # apt-cdrom add for each of your CDs, and apt will prompt you for the correct CD as and when required. Very neat.

Re: Emacs, Netscape and Apache - together?
Have you tried using a statically-linked version of Netscape? I also have had problems with Netscape libraries, but if you use something like the static Motif version of Netscape 4.6, there shouldn't BE any problems to worry about. Problem is, I don't recall seeing any earlier versions of Netscape available as statically-linked binaries, and I think Netscape 4.6 requires a couple other packages that might very well not work under Hamm. I really don't see why Emacs, Netscape, and Apache would conflict with each other, or even know about each other's existence.

Thanks Daniel I don't know if this applies to your system, as I have no idea wether or not you have an IDE Zip drive, but on my Debian system, from kernel 2.0.31 on I have been able to access my zip drive by compiling ATAPI FLOPPY support into the kernel. My Zip is listed in the bootstrap as /dev/hdd and to mount a FAT FS formatted Zip disk I use: mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4 /dirname (It seems that zip disks that are still using the original formatting use multiple partitions). If you reformat, the multiple partitions go away and you can just mount /dev/hdd1. I also have no idea if you have FAT FS support built for your kernel, you may need to recompile with the ATAPI FLOPPY and FAT and VFAT FS support to get everything to work. I personally haven't tried the Iomega drive kernel module, so I have no idea how that works. J.W. Jones

lpr -d problem
I recently upgraded my debian box to kernel 2.2.9 taking some care to follow the suggestions in Documentation/Changes. For example, when I found that my parallel port printer no longer worked, changing from /dev/lp1 to /dev/lp0 and reading parport.txt for additions to /etc/conf.modules did the trick. Well, almost. Now my printer will work for things like 'lpr whatever.txt'. However, I've lost the ability to print postscript via things like 'lpr -d whatever.ps'. I would appreciate hints/suggestions.

First I have kernel with lpr support installed in my system also I have lpr command what after that?. How can I adjustments GhostScript options for StylusColor device)?. early reply is better for me Sorry, I was away few days, so the answer is a bit late. with my best regards aboanber Ok, I assume you have the physical installation correct. 1. You have to have kernel with lp support (note that under 2.2.x kernels You have a bucket of features related with lp: parport, parport_pc, parport_probe etc, and under 2.2.x typical printer port is /dev/lp0 instead of /dev/lp1 under 2.0.x). 2. You should install the printer daemon and utils package (lpd or recommended lprng). This will provide the daemon and programs like lpr, lpc ,lpq, lprm. 3. Install gs and gsfonts packages (and gv if You want to have the viewer fo *.ps files). 4. Install magicfilter and suggested packages (dselect will tell You about suggested packages). These packages are user in input filters to convert some formats onto PostScript. Then, You will be allowed to print files of many formats, like $lpr foo1.ps foo2.pdf foo3.troff 5. Run #magicfilterconfig (#magicfilterconfig --force if it refuses to run because of already configured printers). This utility will show a brief example of values and ask You for some settings in loop for each printer: a) the full printer name (done ends the loop). b) short name (the spool dir will have this name). c) device path (see the note 1.). d) than magicfilterconfig prints the so-called input filters to be used - choose for example stylus_color_360dpi. I will explain the setting below. If You will follow these instructions, the magicfilterconfig will have filled the /etc/printcap file with chosen settings and created the spool directory and some control files inside for each printer. Now look into /etc/printcap.

Each virtual printer (their names are self-explanatory) maps onto the same physical printer. You can create more than one entry if You need different print settings and specify the -P printer_name in lpr command. So, You can see that the differences between virtual printers are the input filters. With magicfilter come only basic filters. I have copied stylus_color_360dpi-filter onto stylus_color_360dpi_mono-filter and stylus_color_360dpi_mono-filter and made some modifications to each. Each input filter is the set of converters' invocations like gs or enscript. Every print job is processed to determine the data type (by using some magic values - specific file content parts) and then the conversion is applied (one or multiple stage pass - some formats need temporal another format storage like temporal files or pipes). The ultimate result is the printer-specific data stream sent to printer device. Jobs wich cannot be converted are not printed and the mail with error message is sent back to user. For Epson printers the ultimate stage is handled by GhostScript with StylusColor device (ESC/P2 printers are fairly supported - my friends with other printers' vendors have big problems with configuration of their printers). Look into /etc/magicfilter/stylus_color_360dpi-filter. You will see lines like: #

Disregard my earlier posting. My /etc/printcap file got rewritten - a surprize to me - and the df filter line was gone. Thanks, Richard
Problems with HD Partitions During Slink Installation
I'm trying to install Slink from a bootable CDROM into my /dev/hda2 partition (which I'm intending to split into several partitions for various bits of the installation at install-time.) The dbootstrap program gets as far as the `Partition a Hard Drive' stage, where it runs cfdisk, which bombs out with a fatal error message claiming I have a `Bad Partition Table.' It offers to delete the partition table and continue, but warns that this will delete all data on the disc, so I'm rather unwilling to do it (I have a Windows 98 filesystem on /dev/hda1, which I'd like to keep.) The /dev/hda2 partition was created using fips, and is of size 4032MB (512 cylinders.) On choosing the `View Partition Table' option in the dbootstrap menu, both the partitions appear correctly except that /dev/hda1 is not marked as active, when in fact it is active (bootable.) Can anyone help me out, please? Thanks Dan Hatton
Re: kppp error - pppd dies unexpectedly
Hi.,. I've removed the entry from /etc/ppp/options, but it still no working... Try making /etc/ppp/options empty, see if this helps. Also add a debug option for ppp in kppp's ppp options tag, and look at /var/log/syslog, see if there is anything interesting. Sergey. when i try to connect to my internet provider with kppp i get a message pppd died unexpectedly, and then it hangs up. Any solution to the problem? [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi! This is caused by a bug in kppp. It requires that the entry lock in /etc/ppp/options to be removed.
possible star office memory leak
Has anyone noticed possible memory leaks running star office? I started using it a few days ago and leave it running all of the time. I also run the setiathome program at night and its been running fine for weeks. But last night it crashed and gave me can't allocate memory error. I've also noticed the processes are a bit higher than usual though I can't ascertain what is going on from a top. All of this began happening when I started using star office. Any ideas? Kathy
Installation Strategies...(was Emacs, Netscape...)
Wyn Snow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote, I recently spent a day installing kernel 2.0.34 with full X-windows and Emacs and web stuff, and configuring everything the way I want. I downloaded three different Netscape binaries off the Netscape site, all for Linux, in various flavors (4.06 Navigator only, 4.06 Communicator, 4.5x can't-remember-if-it-was-just-Nav-or-Communicator). After gunzipping and de- tarring them and ns-installing them, and trying to run them, they all said they could not load libXpm.so.4 (sigh). Wyn, we've all run into similar problems. You said you have been learning how to use dpkg and dselect and that you've gotten fairly proficient with them. Great! One bit of advice -- one I learned after installing Debian on many-a-system -- DON'T USE DSELECT. IMHO, it simply sucks. Oh, it's a great tool for the uninitiated, someone who needs a template machine to work with, but for someone who wants consistency and control over their system, it simply doesn't work well. I've tried to use it, but I end up having to unselect too many packages to make it worth it's while. The ONLY thing I use dselect to do now-a-days is to browse through the package descriptions. Use 'apt'. The command is actually 'apt-get', but it's an excellent tool to use. Once you configure the /etc/apt/sources.list file to point at your desired source and run 'apt-get update', apt-get will fetch all the required and dependent packages you need to install a given package. For example, if you want to install Netscape 4.05, the package you'd want is most likely called navigator-smotif-405. The apt command sequence would look like: # apt-get update # apt-get install navigator-smotif-405 You would be prompted for confirmation to download all the necessary packages. It would then perform the download and the necessary dpkg instances in the correct order. With that in mind, consider installing your debian system without the use of dselect. Go through the standard debian installation, but skip the template computer selection, and likewise quit out of 'dselect' when it comes up. Then rely on using apt-get. You will ONLY get the packages you select and the ones they're dependent upon. This also makes it easier to do an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' when pointing to the 'potato' version on debian (unstable). You'll have less packages to upgrade, especially ones that you don't need or care about. In fact, I just got done doing just that. I installed the base system from 2.1. Installed the source package for the new kernel (2.2.x) by pointing to the unstable package tree. Installed all the necessary tools to compile the kernel (via apt). Etc... One last advantage to this method of install... You know exactly what is on your machine, and you are forced to take the time to learn about each package you install. Your overall knowledge of your system will grow much quicker than installing via dselect. (P.S. Wyn. I'd get away from using the older kernel. 2.2.x is soo much better. *grin*) ^chewie http://nerp.net/~chewie --- Check it out! I'm selling my truck!

libXt.a, libX11.a
Hello, I'm trying to compile GRASS, but it wants these X libraries: libXt.a libX11.a. Unfortunately, they don't exist. I do have libXt.so.6 and libX11.so. Question: Would rewriting the config script so it uses the Elf shared libraries as opposed to the ar type libraries work? If not, where can I get the ar type libraries? Thanks in advance Eric G.

Question: Would rewriting the config script so it uses the Elf shared libraries as opposed to the ar type libraries work? If not, where can I get the ar type libraries? Hi Eric, Whenever I seem to be missing libraries or any file for that matter, I always go to the Debian package search page. It's at the bottom of http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages and there are two ways to search. I always use the Search the Contents[...] method by just plugging in the missing filename. For the libXt.a file, I got this result: usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.a x11/xlib6g-static usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/libXt.a oldlibs/xlib6-static and for libX11.a I got: usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.ax11/xlib6g-static usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/libX11.a oldlibs/xlib6-static so you have two choices, but you probably want the current glibc version. hth -- __ _ Mark Wagnon Debian GNU/ -o) / / (_)__ __ __ Chula Vista, CA /\\/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] _\_v/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ http://www.debian.org

Network setup
I have problems setting up my network with isdn, sync ppp, diald. Debian is 2.1, kernel 2.2.5. The first time I try to connect to the internet diald does not call; after isdnctrl dial ippp0 anything is ok, diald redials if the connection was interrupted because of timeouts. I suspect problems with the initial routing setup. I set up ppp with pppconfig; on startup I get error messages from the route commands in /etc/init.d/network and /etc/device.ippp0 (the route add -host command fails: Operation not supported by device). The init scripts generate an ippp0 and a sl0 slip interface (??), both are set as default gw. I tried ifconfig sl0 down, but the same as before. TIA Klaus
V. basic script question
I'm on a dial on demand connection and I have this script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ for having the mail fetched from my ISP everytime I make a connection, and then sent locally: - start script - #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/fetchmail -f /etc/fetchmailrc -a -u a4608456 /usr/sbin/sendmail -q - end script - now, this works alright but I'd like to know when everything is over with a message echoed on screen... how do I go about that?

Alt+ArrowUp (inittab kbrequest)
I have already pressed by mistake the Alt+ArrowUp key combo, resulting in a system shutdown (losing all work done!). In my /etc/inittab I've got the Ctrl+Alt+End key combo configured for shutdowns: kb:12345:kbrequest:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -h now and some kbrequest for the Alt+ArrowUp which reads: kb::kbrequest:/bin/echo Keyboard Request--edit /etc/inittab to let this work. which says nothing about shutdown, so, why does Alt+ArrowUp perform a system shutdown? Can I safely comment the line? TIA -- Horacio [EMAIL PROTECTED] Valencia - ESPAÑA
Re: Emacs, Netscape and Apache - together?

Previously, I had installed a smaller (basic) workstation and then added X-windows, and had a similar problem when I gunzipped and de-tarred (and feathered) and installed Netscape: when I tried to run it, it complained it could not load libXt.so.6 ... durn. In both cases, a library of that name was there, so I suspect this is some sort of version-compatibility problem. Assuming you have Hamm installed, and you have downloaded the supported version of Netscape for Linux from the Netscape web site (the supported version being the libc5 version, I believe), you need to do the following : * Install the libc5 and xlib6 (and also probably xpm4.7) packages from Opt./oldlibs. (This should fix the complaints about librairies not found). * Use the Netscape installer (from contrib) to install netscape. To do this, you need to copy you Netscape binary to /tmp/, and probably to rename it a bit for the installer to recognise it). The first step should be enough to solve the issue. The second is the clean recommended way to do the installation, but is not mandatory (I believe). Hope it helps.
