Instalación de X-Window
Saludos Primero aviso que soy nuevo y todavía estoy configurando mi sistema. Sólo he instalado lo mínimo imprescindible para poder conectarme a mi servidor y navegar por internet con el LYNX. Una vez tuve funcionando esta mínima instalación, me bajé los archivos necesarios para instalar X-Window del servidor FTP de las XFree86. Una vez me baje los correspondientes *.tgz, incluído el de mi tarjeta de video (además del VGA16), ejecuté el script preinst.sh sin problema, el ejecutable extract sin problema y cuando ejecuté el postinst.sh me saltó el siguiente mensaje: /usr/X11R6/mkfontdir: Error loading shared libraries: undefined symbol: __register_frame_info De este error deduzco que es inutil intentar configurar mi servidor de video ya que no cargará las fuentes y por tanto no funcionará. De hecho tuve que configurar la tarjeta de video con el xf86config ya que XF86Setup no pudo entrar en modo gráfico. ¿Qué puedo hacer para solucionar éste problema? Gracias.

Con este útimo necesitas un Hub o concentrador donde se enchufarían todos los cables de la red. No necesitas más soft que el te viene en la en el main de Debian. En cuanto a hard necesitarías: Cable coaxial: - Tarjetas de red con salida para cable coaxial. - 3 tramos de cable coaxial con conectores en cada extremo. - 2 terminadores. Cableado estructurado (¿RJ45?) - Tarjetas de red con conexion apropiada - 4 tramos de cable - 1 Hub de al menos 4 conexiones.

RE: Red Ethernet - IP Masquerading
-Mensaje original- De: jcarlos [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: lunes 22 de noviembre de 1999 18:55 Para: debian-user-spanish@lists.debian.org Asunto: Red Ethernet Tengo cuatro ordenadores con los que quiero montar una red eternet(para compartir la conexión a internet de uno de ellos). Ya me leí la Guía de administración de Redes, pero me quedó una duda... ¿Necesito un router(apropos: ¿es un aparato especial o solo un ordenador configurado de otra forma?) Un router puede ser un ordenador normal o uno que emplea hardware específico (cisco, etc) que se encarga de cuando le llega un paquete enviarlo a una u otra red a las que está conectado ese router, normalmente conectado a más de dos (de ahí el nombre, de que ruta la información por un lugar o por otro, en función de estadísticas de congestión de la red, etc). De todas maneras, lo que tú quieres no es un router, sino un gateway (un gateway es un portal de salida de una red a otra), ya que tu ordenador no decide a qué red rutar un paquete, sino que ya sabe directamente a dónde rutarlo (los gateway conectan sólo dos redes). para conectarlos o con solo las tarjetas de red y el cable me basta? Sipes, con tus ordenadores, cables y tarjetas te basta. Eso en linux se hace con IP-MASQUERADING (enmascaramiento de direcciones IP). Tienes que activar el IP-MASQUERADING en el kernel y luego configurarlo como Dios manda (mira el NET3 Howto, o el IP-MASQUERADING howto). En IP-MASQUERADING hay un ordenador que actúa de gateway (el que tiene el módem). Todos los ordenadores de tu red local tienen direcciones internas (192.168... o 170), que no son válidas en internet, de manera que el gateway es el único que tiene realmente una dirección IP válida en internet (que normalmente le es adjudicada por tu proveedor de servicios cuando lo conectas por módem a inet) además de la dirección interna. Cuando uno de los ordenadores de tu red quiere conectarse a un ordenador de internet, envía su petición al gateway (tendrás que configurar la ruta por defecto de los ordenadores de tu red para que apunte al gateway, man route para más señas) y el gateway coge la petición y envía la petición al ordenador de internet y establece la conexión. Todas las conexiones pasan por el gateway y el ordenador remoto se cree que se conecta con el gateway cuando en realidad se está conectando con otro ordenador de la red local, gracias a la labor de puente del gateway. Se dice que el gateway está enmascarando la dirección IP del ordenador local (que está engañando al remoto, vaya) Esto último (el hecho de que el remoto se cree que está hablando con el gateway en vez de con el ordenador local) es importante (y causa de muchos problemas), ya que si el ordenador remoto tiene que abrir conexiones con el local, no podrá (de ahí que no funcione bien el ftp normal, por ejemplo, y haya que usar el passive, o bien que haya servidores de irc que te echen por tener demasiados clones, etc). Entonces ¿qué otro Hard y Soft necesito? Hardware el que tienes y soft, el kernel de linux ;D. Por ejemplo, si lo hicieses con win, necesitarías el wingate para hacer de gateway y de enmascaramiento de direcciones IP (software comercial y de pago), pero como lo haces con linux, te basta con el kernel :) thnx Antonio Tejada Lacaci [EMAIL PROTECTED] Depto.

8. Note for upgrade to version 2.0.x, 2.2.x
Kernel versions 2.0.x and 2.2.x introduced quite a bit of changes
for kernel installation. The file Documentation/Changes in the
2.0.x source
tree contains information that you should know when upgrading to either of
these versions. You will most likely need to upgrade several key packages,
such as gcc, libc, and SysVInit, and perhaps alter some system files, so
expect this. Don't panic, though.
De todas maneras, es curioso, porque yo recuerdo haber upgradeado mi
2.0.36 de la Debian 2.1 a 2.2.5 sin problemas :-?
Tenía instalada la versión 2.0 (hamm) en el pc, la cual he actualizado
con
apt-get dist-upgrade a la 2.1 que tiene todas las versiones que comenta el
fichero Changes para que pulule el kernel 2.2.xx, y esto lo hice así porque
sí que me leí no sólo el HOWTO, sino la documentación del kernel que
pretendo instalar. Por lo que os agradecería una ayudita al respecto del

2 computers, 2 modems, 2 O/S's
Hi At home my wife and I have two computers (win95 and Debian) and until recently had one modem. Connectng to the internet was simple, it all went through the Debian (potato) box. However, I have acquired at no cost another faster modem, unfortunately it is a WinModem (A US Robotics 56k Voice Win) What I was wondering is there anyone out there that can point me to a piece of Windows (Yes! I know this is the debian mailing list) software that can forward all my outgoing IP connections through the Winmodem (in the Windows machine) in as transparent a manner as possible. I got the winmodem for free, I would like to benefit from having it. (especially when I need to download the latest and greatest .debs!) Yours Cormac -- Cormac McGuinness ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Re: Netscape for Slink
That version of Netscape Communicator (4.5) is fully packaged for slink and should be installable. The netscape-base-4 package is in the contrib section, while the rest of the packages are in non-free. Check your /etc/apt/sources.list file to make sure apt-get is looking in all 3 sections (main, contrib, and non-free) of the slink (stable) distribution. In other words, you need a line like this in that file: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free Once you have the /etc/apt/sources.list file set up correctly, apt-get will automatically download and install all dependencies, although there are also some optional packages like spell checker, help, and java.

Re: df and du disagree
Hi all, df shows my main partiton to have 1.1 Gigs of data and du -x shows it to have about 650 MB. I think du is correct. df reads FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 1.9G 1.1G 750M 60% / /dev/hda3 15M 1.2M 13M 8% /boot /dev/hda5 1.7G 1.2G 471M 72% /home /dev/hda10387M 281M 86M 77% /var /dev/hda6 3.2G 2.6G 479M 85% /samba If anyone knows what causes this and whether or not I need to worry about it I'd be very grateful. Could it be that your main partition has data in directories that have other file systems mounted on them? E.g., is there data in /home on /dev/ha1 that becomes invisible to du because /dev/hda5 is mounted on it? HTH, Eric -- E.L.

Re: Atari ST as Dumb Terminal
Hello, David Purton: I got it working quite nicely using the advice given in a previous response to my mail. I'm using what I think is a null modem cable (it was just advertised as a data transfer cable). I'm still hunting around for a terminal emulator though. It works with the basic vt52 emulator which came on the ST Language disk, but the vt52 terminal lacks the features to run pine, so it's of somewhat limited use. I also got results with kermit and a vt100 emulator called miniterm, which I downloaded from www.shareware.com. This is still not perfect, so I'll hunt around a bit longer. Two good terminal programs for the Atari ST are ConNect and StarComm. They both support vt100, vt200, including colors, latin1 charset, etc. Harald

Problem with g77
I've been attempting to compile some fortran code for a fairly important project, and have been having trouble.

I got the winmodem for free, I would like to benefit from having it. (especially when I need to download the latest and greatest .debs!) There is also a package called Wingate. It is shareware.

Birth announcement
2 new systems were delivered safely last night ! deb1/deb2 (.grw.org) each arrived in about 30 mins. thanks to an effective installation package and despite my worst efforts to RTFM, although both systems are currently underweight compared to their brothers and sisters (486/66 8Mb 320Mb HDD and 486/50 8Mb 260Mb HDD) I expect them both to grow up into useful adults... Seriously though, could I just pass on my congrats. to whoever developed the Debian installation procedure, download and install (via floppies) went like a dream, the kernel module configuration seemed almost intuitive, and the network was there without blinking, pure joy compared to the two previous evenings spent wrestling with the installation of a rival brand of *nix o/s, which still needs the kernel recompiling/debugging. Could I just ask if anyone out there has any 'post install cleanup' advice, particularly to remove some of the spurious pci warnings, I am not in front of the screen now, but the boot gave several warnings about 'ea-???' stuff, along with warnings about stuff missing from the bios, when I get back tonight, I will check it out more thoroughly.

mach8 server: blank screen
I've recently had reason to resurrect an old 486 computer as an X terminal. A few years ago, this was my primary computer, and it worked well. The most recent version of linux I ran on it was Debian 1.3, and all was well. I've just installed Debian 2.1 on it, which has XFree86 3.3.2.3a, and now the Mach8 X server no longer seems to work. I get a blank screen. X is running, because I can use keyboard shortcuts to terminate fvwm and return to text mode, but while X is running, all I get is a blank screen. The VGA16 server used by XF86Setup works fine, but who wants to work that slowly in only 16 colours? I also tried using the XFree86 3.3.3.1 debs from netgod's site, but they give the same problem.

Why isn't there a gnome package, that's just empty, and has dependancy's set for the stuff you need to use gnome ? This would be especially useful for those of us who tend to install packages like: apt-get install enlightenment without searching through the packages. In the case of gnome, you can't just do an apt-get install gnome, because there is no gnome package. Also, this would make people have to think less about what they actually need in order to make gnome happen on their machines. __ PGP fingerprint = 03 5B 9B A0 16 33 91 2F A5 77 BC EE 43 71 98 D4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] / http://www.op.net/~darxus Find the next largest prime, be famous: http://www.mersenne.org/prime.htm
