Configuración del framebuffer bis
Gracias por las indicaciones que me haceis. Efectivamente, el mensaje de que no existía del dispositivo /dev/fb0 se debía a no haber arrancado en modo gráfico. Y ahora una un poco más complicada: He puesto en mi lilo.conf vga=ask con lo que me muestra al arrancar los modos a elegir; sin embargo a mí sólo me deja elegir modos de texto con más o menos líneas y columnas, aunque haga scan, me vuelve a mostrar los mismos. Sin embargo he podido poner directamente un modo gráfico -por ejemplo 0314- y me lo ha asumido y arrancado en ese modo -he podido observar el logo del pingüino-. ¿Esto es siempre así? No obstante, no he podido arrancar las X windows y ello a pesar de haber seleccionado el servidor XF86_FBDev y haber modificado manualmente el fichero XF86Config de la siguiente manera: - He comentado todas las líneas de Modelines de la sección del monitor - He creado una sección pantalla para el serviodor específico: Section Screen Driver FBDev Device mi tarjeta Monitor mi monitor Subsection Display Depth 16 Modes default EndSubsection EndSection Al ejecutar startx se me viene abajo el servidor. He comprobado el modo que tenía activo con fbset y me decía que era 800x600-75. Es posible que ese modo no esté soportado por mi monitor, sin embargo no he logrado que me cogiera ningún otro con la profundidad de 16 bits. También he creado el fichero fb.modes con una única entrada que sí es compatible con mi PC (800x600-56)y la he denominado mode default pero no consigo acceder con esta resolución. ¿Sabe alguno de vosotros cómo poner un modo gráfico específico al arrancar el PC? Es decir, si por ejemplo arranco con el modo general 0314 (800x600 16 bits) ¿cómo hago para que sea el de la velocidad de refresco horizontal y vertical compatibles con mi PC? La entrada de fb.modes es: mode default geometry 800 600 800 600 16 timings 27778 128 24 22 1 72 2 hsync high vsync high endmode mode 800x600-56 ,con los mismos indicadores de default Gracias y felices fiestas

ftp anonimo

MMSN842 - Suporte no Linux
Oi, Vocês sabem se é possível incluir o suporte do Linux a placa de som MMSN842 (AT3100)? Este é um modelo usado no Infoway da Itautec e possui entradas para rádio, TV, etc, e também tem o Fax-Modem embutido com suporte a viva voz. A placa não é PnP mas opera com um tipo de configuração jumperless bem prehistórico onde um software a reconfigura toda a placa após cada boot do sistema. O problema começa por ai, este utilitário de configuração somente está disponível para DOS e sem ele não consegui mudar a IRQ ou habilitar o Fax-Modem (que é desabilitado por padrão após ligar o micro). Os chips usados pela placa são: ATZ2316, OPL3, e Rockwell(28.800). A parte OPL3 funciona normalmente. Será que é possível coloca-la para funcionar com os recursos que dispomos hoje no Linux? O principal problema que estou futuramente prevendo é o software de configuração jumperless adotado pela placa, existe alguma alternativa no Linux sobre programas deste tipo? Infelizmente não encontrei nada no site do fabricante falando sobre o suporte desta placa no Lin (foi difícil até encontrar drivers para DOS e Win). --- gleydson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ MailBR - O e-mail do Brasil -- http://www.mailbr.com.br Estamos concorrendo ao IBEST - Serviços On-Line Acesse http://ibest.mailbr.com.br e Vote!

Moving from RedHat to Debian

FTP Installation Instructions
I would like to begin downloading Debian Linux but I remain a little puzzled as to how this procedure really works. I have RedHat 6.1 on an old P133 (64MB) 1 GB system at home I can play around with. The RedHat install works fine and we use the same release at work where I am a unix admin for HPUX AIX systems. However, for reasons I can't really explain, I would like to delve deeper into Linux and begin working with current builds - a yearning likely to yield as much grief as pleasure, but I can't help myself. With RedHat I have always used the boot floppy and the cdrom. That's fairly simple nowadays, but one remains dependent on the prepackaged releases and I end up with a very generic installation. That's functional enough, but its boring. I imagine performing installs off the web will require a little more Linux savvy, which is agreeable enough. So my question is, assuming I start from the 6.1 platform I have, how would I go about downloading and converting to the most recent / stable Debian release? By asking that I don't really expect anyone to lead me through the process step by step and I have read through at least some of the installation documentation on the web site. However, in spite of that, I remain unclear where I deposit the Debian ftp download and how I initiate the installation. Do I create a boot floppy and point it to a installation directory? Can someone point me to some documentation that addresses installing from a ftp download? Hagen Finley Longs Drugs Walnut Creek, CA
Re: Moving from RedHat to Debian
I myself have just recently started to switch from Redhat to Debian. I have found that Debian has a lot of useful features, but with those is complexity. It seems to me as harder to setup than Redhat. I have tried the ftp install and it is very good, but still slow especially if you would be downloading a large package. If you go to the website http://linuxcentral.com they offer a 2 CD-ROM set of Debian for 3.95 (+5.30 S H) 9.25 total. That might be useful if you run into problems or want to install it on other machines. It will also save you a lot of time.

Are those same versions of those same packages available under Debian? Are older versions available? Does the difference matter to you?

Also, what's the best way to go about installing Debian? I have a fast connection, so I'm wondering if an ftp install is the way to go? Any suggestions? I have just done this and am very pleased with the transition so far.The installation is straightforward.( I do not have experience with an ftp installation ) I recommend installing from a bootable CD. Consider the boxed-CD set from http://www.valinux.com ( $20). This includes : Learning Debian GNU/Linux Book: 368 pages, written by Bill McCarty and published by O'Reilly and, Debian GNU/Linux QuickStart Guide: 36 pages, written by Kameran Kashani Read the installation guide and Release Notes for Slink at http://www.debian.org before you install. It has kernel version 2.2.12 and XFree86, 3.3.4. I initially used xf86config to configure X , and then simply copied my XF86Config file that I used with Red Hat directly to /etc/X11 After installing the base system, I installed packages by selecting tasks, ( you may choose a profile instead) and then installed additional applications, such as Netscape and KDE, using apt-get. I did not use dselect to select individual packages.After installation, you can remove packages you do not need with dpkg. ( dpkg --purge package )Then you can upgrade your entire system using apt-get. Apt-get is an excellent application. There are many differences between RH and Debian, but none substantial.

RE: palm pilot vs visor
Dear gnana, I can't speak to the Linux support question, but from the standpoint of price for hardware, the Visor is significantly superior to the IIIx. The Visor is purportedly equivalent to the PalmVx with 8MB RAM and the latest screen enhancements. It also has the ability to accept program and hardware modules (although its not clear what is presently available in this medium). On the downside, compared to the Palm V the Visor lacks the rechargeable batteries and the sexy case. Priced at roughly $275 the Visor versus IIIx seems like a no brainer. The Visor does have something like a 4 to 6 week backorder from Handspring and I have yet to see it marketed elsewhere.

Hi Steve, Thanx for replying. Well, in theory the Visor is completely Palm compatable. Are you looking at the cheap visor? yes. I am a beginner organiser. I am mainly looking for the software compatibility. I would connect the cradle to my serial port and use pilot-link software to sync data. Your suggestions are most welcome. -gnana
Re: FTP Installation Instructions
Hi Hagen Welcome to Debian. I'm assuming that you're planning on wiping out the disk and starting over once you've created the base system floppies? If so, point your browser at http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/i386/install and look at Chapter 5. The subsections cover just about everything you need including how to create the floppy disks (9) that will install your base system. If you have any problems holler again on this list. If not, take a look at the thread Moving from RedHat to Debian currently active on the list. John I would like to begin downloading Debian Linux but I remain a little puzzled as to how this procedure really works. I have RedHat 6.1 on an old P133 (64MB) 1 GB system at home I can play around with. The RedHat install works fine and we use the same release at work where I am a unix admin for HPUX AIX systems. However, for reasons I can't really explain, I would like to delve deeper into Linux and begin working with current builds - a yearning likely to yield as much grief as pleasure, but I can't help myself. With RedHat I have always used the boot floppy and the cdrom. That's fairly simple nowadays, but one remains dependent on the prepackaged releases and I end up with a very generic installation. That's functional enough, but its boring. I imagine performing installs off the web will require a little more Linux savvy, which is agreeable enough. So my question is, assuming I start from the 6.1 platform I have, how would I go about downloading and converting to the most recent / stable Debian release? By asking that I don't really expect anyone to lead me through the process step by step and I have read through at least some of the installation documentation on the web site. However, in spite of that, I remain unclear where I deposit the Debian ftp download and how I initiate the installation. Do I create a boot floppy and point it to a installation directory? Can someone point me to some documentation that addresses installing from a ftp download?

Re: vga=ask in lilo.conf
Hi Andy, The VGA stuff is kernel-based. SVGATextMode is a program that you can load after the kernel's loaded to use SVGA instead of VGA. So generally the answer to your question is, yes. However, you can use the SVGA stuff to get higher resolutions also. Personally, I don't use the SVGATextMode stuff, as the resolutions and text modes available under most of my VGA cards suit me just fine. Hope it helps, enjoy. You can read more in the man pages for the SVGA stuff if your interested. I've never really used it, as I like the VGA stuff better. Enjoy, and hope you had happy holidays, Nate, [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sat, Dec 25, 1999 at 10:43:23AM -0800, Andy Thomas wrote: Hi, It's when it gets to Invoking SVGATextMode... on bootup that it switches back to 80x25.

Re: Moving from RedHat to Debian
I've been using RedHat for about eight months, but I'd like to switch to Debian. Is there any easy way to do this, or is it going to be a painful transition? Also, what's the best way to go about installing Debian? I have a fast connection, so I'm wondering if an ftp install is the way to go? Any suggestions? With a fast connection I would use the apt method. You might want to start with the docs at http://www.debian.org/~aph/boot-floppi es/2.1.12-19991209 and probably continue with the other stuff on that dir, but keep in mind that the boot team is still working on this stuff. Alternatively, you can follow the docs for the stable release, which is pointed to on www.debian.org.

massive root filesystem corruption
hi, I just had some massive filesystem corruption on the root filesystem of a debian potato system that was installed about a month ago and was working fine till now, running self compiled 2.2.13 kernel. the box has been running GNU/Linux (redhat) for about a year and a half with no trouble either.. after finding that all of /bin and nearly all of /etc contents were moved to lost+found losing their filenames after a fsck -y I ended up reinstalling the system. is there any way to restore the files to a destroyed root filesystem (/var /usr and /home are all separate undamaged filesystems) ? or is a full reinstall the only way to really fix this other then restore from tape backups (which i do not have and cannot create) now after reinstalling the system again and spending several hours reconfiguring things, running fsck a couple times every so often and finding nothing wrong, i did some more work and noticed a cron job ran causing a lot of disk activity (locate database building or something) so i checked the filesystems again and the root filesystem was again ruined just like before! this time i had made backups of /bin /sbin /etc /boot /lib /root and such into tar archives on the /home partition (/ is the ONLY partition to be damaged, other then filetype errors that are always there on /var which i have mentioned before but never got reply on) i ran e2fsck -c and redirected all its output to a floppy so i could have a reference, after it finished `fixing' everything by mostly moving everything into lost+found in the form of inode numbers and restored the tar archives i had made since everything was ruined anyway, after after restoring most of them the kernel spat out a few errors about blocks or some such and the filesystem went totally hosed again, no commands worked any more since apparently the kernel could not read /sbin and /bin (though i could get listings using sash's built in ls) rebooting resulted in a kernel panic no init found. I am beginning to think that the disk may be going bad but badblocks e2fsck -c mke2fs -c all report no bad blocks. this is an IDE disk. is there any other way to find out if the disk is at fault or is this the kernel? I am running 2.2.13 on a different machine and have been since it came out and have had no problems with it, except for the constant filetype errors that show up on the /var filesystem but they seem to be minor and not hurt anything that i can see. would the fsck output be useful to anyone more knowledgeable about the filesystem than I in determining whether this is hardware or software related? (I can send it to anyone who is interested, if only in admiring the completness of the ruination. the log file is about 64000 bytes.) I have read there is still reports of filesystem corruption in the stable kernels but it has been mostly unreproducable, if that is what is happening here it looks like i can reproduce it just fine :| I tend to think this is not a kernel problem since the 6 other mounted filesystems are completely undamaged after / gets hosed... any other pointers on where I should go from here on troubleshooting this problem?

However, there are many programs in sbin that are useful for ordinary users including the two explicitly listed in the FSSTND, traceroute and ifconfig. Ideally, they possibly shouldn't be. Why is traceroute in /sbin anyway? It's automatically setuid - doesn't this make putting it in /sbin pointless? I personally don't buy this logic at all for two reasons: 1) Nobody has been able to explain why these programs are a burden There's no point in having programs like shutdown, fdisk etc. in the users' path, and having them there could irritate in, for exanple, tab completion. I guess I propose that either of two things happen: 1) /sbin and /usr/sbin are put into everyone's path. Is there any other immediate solution? [snip] or there's a third solution 3) abolish /sbin and /usr/sbin and put these binaries in /bin and /usr/sbin. Make symlinks so scripts still work. This is kind of ugly. Obviously the path of least resistance at least for potato is (1). But it's not a good long-term solution, as it makes /sbin pointless.

Re: FTP Installation Instructions
On Sat, 25 Dec 1999, Hagen Finley wrote: site. However, in spite of that, I remain unclear where I deposit the Debian ftp download and how I initiate the installation. Do I create a boot floppy and point it to a installation directory? Can someone point me to some documentation that addresses installing from a ftp download? This is why I think Debian is the distribution which is easiest to install. If you are going to an FTP install, you only need to download approximately 10 MB of files (the base files). If you are installing Debian onto a machine that is in a networked environment (such as your work place, where you have access to other *nix machines), you can copy these files to one of those other machines (if you can mount one of their directories via NFS). Otherwise, you'll need to copy the base files to floppies (I believe it takes 7 3.5 floppies). And, of course, you'll need a boot floppy. You start the installation with the boot floppy, tell it (the installation program) where the base files are located (on floppies, on an NFS share, etc.) and it will install those. Debian's automated installation then takes over. You go through the list of available packages and select which ones you want installed. The installation program will then connect to an FTP server, download the packages you selected, and install them, without any work from you. I tried to explain it briefly and simply, but it sounds more complicated than it is. When I was new to linux, I tried installing both Slackware and Redhat, having different problems with each. I then moved to Debian, and I've been running it on multiple machines every since. HTH.
