Particionar Win 98 con FIPS

Help needed also - Enlightenment/Gnome on slink
Hello, I could also use some help trying to get later gnome versions and enlightenment running on slink (2.0.36 kernel). I originally installed the gnome and enlightenment that came on the slink CD. But the enlightenment-conf had problems installing. I grabbed a bunch of .debs of newer gnome and enlightenment recently. It appears that freetype2 needs libc6 - 2.1 and I cant seem to find this. When I run enlightenment now, there is no text at all, and wierd things happen to my screen. Is there a place that has everything needed for a later gnome and enlightenment, and what it needs? (and that will run under 2.0.36) I am not sure how to get dselect to recognize the dependencies that exist when I try to install from hard disk, using seperate .deb files that I grab individually. I currently have to use WIN95/AOL to grab files, and I use dpkg -i to install these one by one. I then note the configuration errors and install each of the dependency .deb files one by one, and then finally use dpkg --configure --pending to get everything setup after all pieces have been installed. Until I get an ISP that allows linux connectivity, I can't use apt-get. John __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Re: Problems with Linux partitions after installing FreeBSD
On Fri, 15 Oct, 1999 à 04:37:21PM -0400, Arcady Genkin wrote: Hi all: I had a Slink install on my second machine, and I wanted to give FreeBSD a try. After I installed it into the first primary partition, I can find no way to boot into Linux. I have a boot diskette, which I figured I would use, but it isn't happening (the booter loads, prints out correctly that it's going to use /dev/hda5 as a root partition, but then neither the kernel on the floppy, nor the kernel on the HD boot; in the first case, it just hangs after 4 dots, and in the second case it just outputs Boot falure, and boots into FBSD right away). I have the following setup of partitions on HD: /dev/hda1 FreeBSD (a5) /dev/hda2 Linux native (83) /dev/hda3 Linux swap (82) /dev/hda4 Extended (5) /dev/hda5 Linux native (bootable) (83) /dev/hda6 Linux native (83) /dev/hda7 Linux native (83) I tried booting with a rescue disk. It would mount /dev/hda2 w/o problems, but not any of the partitions within the extended one. When I try to mount /dev/hda5 or /dev/hda7, it says ufs not supported by kernel. When I try to mount /dev/hda6, it gives a screenful of error messges having something to do with inodes. Any ideas what could have happened? Yes : your linux kernel is compiled with BSD Disklabel (BSD partition tables) support activated. So your kernel sees the partition inside the FreeBSD slice (/dev/hda1) wich is, at large, similar ton an extended partition. Your logical partitions are shifted by an amount equal to the number of the BSD partitions inside the BSD slice. So, boot with rescue disk and do an fdisk -l, your logical linux partitions are still there but they're now labelled /dev/hda9, /dev/hda10, /dev/hda11 (I sppose you've only made 4 BSD partitions). I think that you can solve the problem with the following procedure : * boot linux rescue disk * run fdisk * write down the *exact* location (I mean the cylinder) of /dev/hda1, hda4, hda5, hda6 /hda7 (well for the last three they could have differing numbers, get the position of the logical partition inside /dev/hda4) * delete hda1, hda4, hda5, hda6 hda7 * create hda4 type a5 on the previous position of hda1 * create hda1 type extended 5 (or 85 as you wish) on the previous position of hda4 * recreate /dev/hda5, hda6, hda7 on their previous location. * double (or triple)-check that you didn't make any mistake. The neat effect of the suggested procedure is to exchange the names of /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda4 but not their location nor their contents. hda5, 6 and 7 should also remain untouched. * if sure write your mods and reboot. Lilo should boot linux but I don't know if FreeBSD will remains bootable but *all* your datas on any partition are untouched. in case it would be helpful, here's fdisk's output from FreeBSD (meanwhile I'll try investigating how to mount those partitions from FreeBSD): door:/# fdisk disklabel (I think) would be far more useful... It would give the partitions inside the BSD slice. As I don't use BSD, I'm not sure of the name of tis programm.

Re: Mail refusing to leave my machine
Hi, On Fri, Oct 15, 1999 at 07:11:57PM +0100, Anthony Campbell wrote: On 15 Oct 1999, Dave Baker wrote: Many thanks for this reply. I certainly need some help with this; tearing out my hair in handfulls! Hi Anthony, I'm guessing somewhat here, since I've only used sendmail and exim, so smail might work differently. Here are a few comments that might help you in the right direction: - your /etc/resolv.conf looks broken - I don't think you can have more than 3 nameserver lines (or if you do, the rest are ignored). do you have a mechanism to replace this depending on what service you dial? I have scripts that run from /etc/ppp/ip-up.d and ip-down.d that change my resolv.conf depending on the network state ... IFAIK you can have as many nameservers in there as you want but only the first 3 will be used because they are used from first to last and the timeout backs off in such a manner that it will fail if the third server doesn't reply. Your underlying problem probably lies in the fact that you are calling two ISP's but your configuration doesn't reflect this - so at least 50% of the time some of your settings are more applicable for the other ISP. Normally when you dial an ISP you resolve from their DNS server, because it is closest to you it makes sense to do so. However, there is no requirement to do so and because queries are made using UDP it is difficult for ISP's to stop you resolving from them even if you are not connected through them. Hence, I'd suggest that you put two nameservers in, one from each ISP, and then don't change the config. Long term you could write a script to edit your resolv.conf and using a caching name server might help. Mail is a different matter because the ISP can effectively stop you relaying through them to another location on the Net if you are not on one of their IP's: in fact they need to do so to stop spammers. So if you are using the ISP's smarthost to dekiver your outgoing mail to for further transit then at least half of the time you won't be able to deliver through it - it will refuse your mail because you're not on one of it's IP's. Only solution would be to use a script to change the smarthost config and restart the mailserver - nasty. So, in your case it may be better to deliver directly, which may be what your doing..the timeout you are receiving could be a result of this if it cannot reach the mailserver at the other end. I did write some stuff here about checking freeserves DNS and mailservers but having had a quick look at their setup it does seem a little strange shall we say. Perhaps I'm tired. I guess as someone who works in an ISP I show my own bias here by remarking that you get what you pay for, a rule that also applies to ISP accounts ;-) If I was you I'd rerun smailconfig and set it to deliver directly with defaulting to a smarthost on failure. It's really not ideal but will probably work more-often than not - writing the scripts is probably the longterm answer. Hope this is of some use, Steve

Re: udma66 ...
Hello! though i'm yet to meet drive which could saturate even UDMA(33) I'll have to second this. If you try this drive on a 33M bus, and it's the only device on the bus, you're not likely to see any improvement just by sticking it on a 66M bus. The drive is the limiting factor here. I don't think there's a single-disk system that does much above 20M or so. I'm using a Western Digital Expert (2MB Cache, 7200RPM), with a Promise Ultra/66 board, and kernel 2.2.12 with the hedrick patches. hdparm -t /dev/hde gives me 22.5 MB/s If I don't turn on the UDMA/66 feature (through this line in lilo.conf: append = ide2=ata66) the drive runs noticeably slower, I think hdparm -t gave me around 17MB/s. I think that proves that at least in my case, there is some benefit of the UDMA/66 bus. Greetings, Alexis Maldonado Engineering College University of Costa Rica

Re: installed but now what? (CONTINUED)
Hi, You are much better off WITHOUT PCMCIA from an installation standpoint. I do not know the exact steps to follow to get the standard CDROMs to work though as my installation was much more complicated. In any case, it is probably a matter of using the modconf utility, which I believe gets you back into a screen that you saw during the install. From there, you must choose the correct set of drivers. I think the generic SCSI stuff says it's loaded by default, but you must also choose a few other SCSI related items like SCSI CDROM, and perhaps Mistumi support. It will tell you right away if it fails or suceeds, as it puts it into the running kernel. You may have to play around, selecting various SCSI things. I'm sure other people can elaborate, probably off the top of their head. Once you DO get the CDROM working, it will be accessed through a device such as /dev/scd0 or /dev/sr0 but probably will not work from /dev/cdrom until you set that up. (It is easy once you know what real device name it uses like the two listed above.) You can try the following commands, and see they work: mount /dev/scd0 /mnt or mount /dev/sr0 /mnt If you have the device name correct it will mount the CD. To unmount it, type: umount /mnt To actually install the good stuff using the CD, you use the deselect program. This will take a while to get comfortable with, but after a while it's great. The first thing you must do is select ACCESS (the default) and select MULTI-CD as the medium to use for installing. You then must specify the device name. It will mount it, and bring you to the next step UPDATE. This builds a database of the known packages, and their dependencies. The next step is SELECT. This is where you navigate through the list of installed packages (using up and down arrow) and + to select for install. There are several keystrokes you must learn but help is available. Of ALL things, this is the most complicated part of using linux in my opinion. And if you choose a package that needs others, it will bring you into a sub screen where you must select the dependency packages using + like before. Hitting return will either bring you back to the main list, or put you back into more dependency problems, repeat until RETURN works. I started by printing out several FAQs, and the dselect tutorial which is 9 pages. It is very well written. The dselect program again is a little confusing at first, but don't get frustrated. It is actually there to make life easier as you will realize later, when it makes sure you get everything you need. Unfortnately without a linux capable ISP you (and I) can't use the newer apt-get installation program. In any case this user-list has been EXTREMELY helpful to me, and you will find the people are a great bunch. I am trying to put a little back in form of support.

Hi Jeff, I just realized that I assumed you had a SCSI based CDROM. I have had SCSI on the brain lately trying to get mine working and that hurdle is over. If you have an IDE based CDROM (most likely) forget everything I said about SCSI. In any case try the MCDX support under the CDROM entry in modconf. It will probably work. I do not believe you need to worry about kernel building. By the way, I used UNIX for many years (engineer but NO SYSADMIN) And when I started playing with debian linux, I put in many 20+ hour sessions, and know where you are coming from...

Re: Mutt and From: line in mail
Reading this thread motivated me to look around to find the answer to this problem. I've had the same problem with my real name disappearing from the From: lines. I found the problem in my .bashrc . Some of the readmes and howtos I read said to set some environment variables. This is what I got: export MAILHOST=cts.com export MAILUSER=wcurry export QMAILINJECT=f The f is the problem. Get rid of it. Look at qmail-inject and qmail-headers for a detailed explanation of what f and the other switches do. The values in the first 2 variables are what is used to rewrite the From: line -- when necessary. 2 hitches... 1. you can't put your real name in there. 2. The f forces qmail-inject to overwrite the From: line regardless.

Slink installation freeze -- Ultra ATA/66 to blame?
Hi, I'm trying to install Slink from CD on my new computer. Booting from the CD-ROM starts out fine, until it gets to the md driver (which is for RAID, I believe?), at which point, the computer freezes. When the md driver line first appears on the screen, I can hear the hard disk spinning up and then it comes to a halt. The computer is an AMD Athlon 550 MHz with a 7200 RPM Ultra ATA/66 hard drive; the manual for the motherboard states that its AMD 756 Viper chipset has an IDE controller that supports Ultra ATA/66. I've been reading the recent postings regarding Ultra ATA/66 drives and, given the fact that the md driver seems to be the sticking point, I'm guessing that the hard drive is the crux of the problem. Beyond that, I'm clueless. I went into the BIOS and explicitly disabled UDMA on the device, and the computer still fails to boot. I just read in the Ultra-DMA Mini-Howto that the old stock kernels (2.0.x) do not currently support UDMA very well, a statement that I assume applies to Slink. Is this my problem? If so, is there anything I can do to circumvent it? I want to upgrade to Potato anyway. Short of ordering a Potato CD from linux-cd.com, is there anyway I can get this to work? Thanks in advance, Michael

The PCI64 by Sound Blaster seems a good candidate. Does anyone have experience using this card? Some Questions: - Can I configure it with ISAPNP? If not, how do I do it? - Does it work full duplex? I just put one of these in my machine - it's using the ens1370 chipset (some of them use the ens1371 or ens1373). I'm actually using it with the ALSA drivers, and it works fine (provided I keep the volume levels on the mixer below 90% for both the Master and PCM outputs, otherwise I get nasty clipping on the sound). You don't need to configure it with ISAPNP, because it's a PCI card, both the ALSA drivers and the kernel drivers find the card by themselves. I'm not sure about full-duplex mode, since I never use it. I'm pretty sure it works full-duplex under ALSA, but I have absolutely no idea about the kernel drivers.

Also, it's not an error; if you look closely, the error strings are *arguments* to the command. It's just the X server telling you that it is executing a command. Said command has arguments that cause it to document its log output *if it has any*, which it apparently doesn't because the Errors from line only occurs as an argument and not by itself. As for the xinit: connection to X server lost, that usually indicates that you used CTRL-ALT-BackSpace to abort the X server (although it *could* indicate the server died for some other reason). I killed the X server via a remote login. Of course I couldn't kill the server with a ctrl-alt-backspace, because keyboard didn't work. In any case, X server problems are not appropriate for linux-kernel; X doesn't have a kernnel component.

Here's the script segment that does these things :- --- Begin Script Segment -- for $source.* do cat $file | enscript -p/tmp/outfile.ps -R -B cat /u/psback.ps /tmp/outfile.ps | lpr -PHPLaser done End Script Segment --- The HP Laser is a fully postscript capable printer, I can print both files seperately, and the files are able to merge print on a SCO box, but under linux the files seem to not want to merge. psback.ps is a background image that is needed behind every page printed. source.* is a collection of single pages (organised through another section of the script, quite simple really). Comments about this will be greatly appreciated. All help useful. pstops can do this sort of re-arranging (and much more besides), provided that the pages to be overlaid are in a single file; gs can be used to merge arbitrary postscript files. Try something like this: gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sDEVICE=pswrite \ -sOutputFile=- /u/psback.ps /tmp/outfile.ps | \ pstops -pa4 '2:0+1' | \ gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sDEVICE=pswrite \ -sOutputFile=- - | \ lpr -PHPLaser The first gs merges the two pages into a single file (file '-' for output sends postscript to stdout and '-q' stops messages being sent there too), then pstops places page 1 on top of page 0. The second gs may not be necessary, but it does *something* that makes my printer spit out the page; without it I get output that I can view in gv, but not print using lpr. Perhaps it just adds a showpage to the end... If you wanted to you could make one big merged ps file containing alternating pages of background and text and then pipe the lot through pstops, gs and lpr to print it all in one job (provided you have sufficient space in your print spool directory).

Embarrassingly, I've just realized my major problem is due to the fact that Debian kernel is 2.0.36 whilst the other dists are 2.2.5 and 2.2.7 respectively, and I need 2.1 or 2.2. It seems an opportunity to upgrade to 2.2.7, and gain experience - I think I understand the Howto and other literature - but now I come to plan the work, things are not straightforward. If I try to download 2.2.7.tar.gz from ftp. kernel.org, can I use dselect and should I? (dselect says ftp access method can produce errors since it is not part of the standard dpkg package). According to the Howto the kernel should be in /usr/src/linux - it seems to be in /usr/include/linux/2.0.36 on my box. Much is written about the benefits of being able to compile to ones exact needs, and conserve memory etc. As a beginner, although I can see what is in the present kernel, I don't understand what the various packages do - in certain cases I know what I don't want (pcmcia for example), but I certainly don't know what I need. Yet again, 2.2.7.tar.gz is 13M of I know not what and I've no idea how to get rid of or avoid downloading any items (if I read the site correctly, there's some 230 files). The ftp site doesn't seem to offer a choice of archs - are all kernels basically the same? As I have CD-ROMS for RedHat and SuSE, could I use one of these? I can see the kernel on the RedHat one, but as there are rpms for Kernel-2.2.5-22.i386, -boot, cfg, -doc, -headers, -ibcs, -pcmcia, -smp (2 rpms same description and approx same size) and -source-2.2 I wouldn't know what to use if this is an option. SuSE isn't clear to me! If I could use the CD-ROM, I could shortly upgrade to say 2.2.9 using the experience gained. I've posted before and received simple to understand assistance, I'm hoping someone will point the way for me here. Problems for novices are daunting at first and obvious when solved. Any help will be appreciated. John PS I've seen references to CD-ROM subscription schemes - anyone know any suitable for UK residents. It should make large downloads easier and perhaps cheaper.
Re: Debian/Slink Connection Speed
wow, I just haven't told u about the peer error because it just occured when I tryed to connect to my isp using the kppp programm. and that's nothing to do with the connection speed... and I just can't connect with it even now because I dunno nothing about peers... I think because in redhat systems there's nothing about it (in the directory /etc/ppp...) and I haven't need to configure anything like this to connect using kppp... I copyed my pap-secrets and chap-secrets to debian and pppd gives me an error, telling me that he couldn't authenticate enough to get an ip address, I dunno right what was on that error... oh, and my provider uses pap ! but I think it wouldn't help because usually I conect using terminal based authentication, just to remember my password ;) with pon and poff it haven't changed too. I still downloading things at 820, 830bytes/second... well, I'll see what I can do here. thanks, rafael

Yes, but they are all ways of starting pppd. Perhaps I'm a little confused as to the difference between the three potential dialers I have: wvdial, pon/poff, and ppp-on/ppp-off. add 'persist' to /etc/ppp/options. That will work for pon and ppp-on, and I think for wvdial as well. -- John HaslerThis posting is in the public domain. [EMAIL PROTECTED]Do with it what you will.

There are Add holdoff 1 persist to your ppp options file(see the man page for pppd for details). If you used pppconfig then that would be in your /etc/ppp/peers directory and the default name of the options file is 'provider'. This also has the benefit of redialling if you get terminated by the other end, like for connection time limits which most ISP's use.

Potato broke my mouse in X?
I just installed a potato partiton, all seemed to go well. I even installed accelerated X on it, and its setup didn't segfault, an obvious improvement. The first time I ran X everything worked fine. Then, out of the blue, the mouse stopped working in X. I was doing a lot of stuff trying to set up the system. I rebuilt the kernel, but I'm sure that was configured correctly, I installed a bunch of stuff, I uninstalled a bunch of stuff. But nothing that should affect the mouse. The mouse works on console. Its a logitech mouseman, ps/2. All of my settings are for a ps/2 mouse on /dev/psaux. I have gpm and the lib's installed, I even tried installing the libc5 gpmlibs. But no go. Where else should I look? X knows its a ps/2 on /dev/psaux. Thanks. -Aaron Solochek [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Postscript Merging - psmerge ?
NAME psmerge - filter to merge several PostScript files into one SYNOPSIS psmerge [ -oout.ps ] [ file.ps ... ] DESCRIPTION Psmerge merges PostScript documents into a single docuAD ment. It only works in the specific case the the files were created using the same application, with the same I'm trying to get a couple of things running for a client here. I need the system to be able to do two things :- 1) Merge two postcript files. I'm trying to run a small script that converts the text output from another program into Postscript, and then merge that file with a previously createed postscript file. Here's the script segment that does these things :- --- Begin Script Segment -- for $source.* do cat $file | enscript -p/tmp/outfile.ps -R -B cat /u/psback.ps /tmp/outfile.ps | lpr -PHPLaser done End Script Segment --- The HP Laser is a fully postscript capable printer, I can print both files seperately, and the files are able to merge print on a SCO box, but under linux the files seem to not want to merge. psback.ps is a background image that is needed behind every page printed. source.* is a collection of single pages (organised through another section of the script, quite simple really). Comments about this will be greatly appreciated. All help useful. 2) Dial-in PPP Access. Before people start screaming at me to read the manuals, I suggest they also look in the documentation. The current documentation is not detailed enough for me to get the system to work. I can setup shell access using mgetty, but as soon as I try and setup a pppd to run, it kills the connection complaining about the lock files. Any help here needed!

HELP: Free space zero no matter what
*Please cc replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED], as I cannot access my mail e-mail account.* Here's my problem: no matter how much I delete, my free space count is 0 blocks. e2fsck doesn't help. When I run df, it knows that the blocks used is less than blocks free, and blocks used gets smaller as I delete files, but the free-space count stays as zero. I can create files with echo blah blah blah file, but exim, for instance, won't save anything to my mailbox, nor will pine or mutt save any files. Anyone know a program that recalculates the free blocks count?
