Muchas gracias.
En principio, parece que ha cambiado algo la estructura de archivos
del programa, pero siguen siendo compatibles.
Ahora existe un /etc/calendar/ que antes no existía.
Han dividido los archivos en dos partes, los fijos de todos
los años y los de cada año en particular. ( Como debe ser :-)
Lo que no entiendo es por que no han pensado en separar en un paquete
distinto estos archivos y hacer que el paquete del programa dependa de este.
Saludos y gracias de nuevo.

RE: Adaptador RDSI a 128Kb
Hace más de un año que configuré un Proxy Linux con un ZyXEL igual pero sin
tarjeta serie de alta velocidad. Si conectaba a 128Kb, pero al rato (30' a
2H) tenia los mismos problemas que tú.
Solución: Instale una tarjeta interna RDSI Teles (también he probado las
Compaq) y todo va bien desde entonces.

Subject: Adaptador RDSI a 128Kb
Hola:
Tenemos un adaptador externo RDSI ZyXEL Omni TA128 y una conexión
RDSI con CTV a 128Kb. Hemos puesto una tarjeta serie de alta
velocidad y hemos configurado 0setserial añadiendo la linea:
${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A port 0x3E8 irq 5 ${STD_FLAGS}
spd_vhi
Luego hemos configurado la conexión ppp con pppconfig.
La conexión se realiza, pero solo a 64Kb (parece). Y después de estar
funcionando un rato se corrompe y no va ni el ping. ¿como puedo
comprobar la velocidad de la conexión?, ¿alguien sabe como afinar
esto para que vaya de categoria?.
Creo que hemos seguido los pasos adecuados, pero no estoy seguro,
alguien nos puede ayudar.
Saludos y Feliz 2000.

Re: Actualizacion de Kernel.
El Tue, Jan 04, 2000 a las 12:35:02AM +0100, Emilio Hernández Martín dijo: Hola. Perdonad mi ignorancia pero no me termino de aclarar del todo. Ya he instalado el paquete kernel-package pero no sé muy bien cuáles son esos scripts que lo hacen casi todo. Por otra parte, yo no tengo el directorio /usr/src/linux, donde se supone que están las fuentes así que no sé qué hacer. Luego, en el paso 1 que tenías en tu fichero: A ver ... :) Por defecto, no tienes las fuentes del kernel instaladas en tu sistema. Para solucionarlo, podrias conseguirte la última versión del kernel estable, la 2.2.13 si no estoy equivocado, y te las traes de, por ejemplo, http://www.es.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2/linux-2.2.13.tar.bz2 Con eso, te bajas los 11.6 Mb. con las fuentes del nucleo. Para los siguientes pasos, conviene que muevas ese fichero hasta el directorio /usr/src/. Tambien conviene que dispongas, al menos, de unos 130 Mb libres en el lugar en el que vayas a descomprimir el kernel. Una vez has puesto ese fichero en /usr/src/, y con el paquete bzip2 instalado, ejecutas la siguiente orden: bunzip2 linux-2.2.13.tar.bz2 Con eso, descomprimes el fichero de los fuentes. Esto provoca dos cosas: que cambien de 'linux-2.2.13.tar.bz2' a 'linux-2.2.13.tar' y que aumente de tamaño hasta alcanzar los 62.5 Mb de tamaño. Los ficheros '*.tar' son ficheros que contienen a otros ficheros. Para 'desempaquetarlos', ejecuta la siguiente orden: tar xvf linux-2.2.13.tar Esto te creará el directorio /usr/src/linux/, que es donde están las fuentes del nucleo... Si creastes el fichero 'Compilar-kernel.sh', puedes ponerlo en /usr/src/, por ejemplo ... Ahora, suponiendo que tienes todo lo necesario (y si no, cuando falle lo consultas), lo que haces es llamar a ejecutar esta orden: /usr/src/Compilar-kernel.sh Con esto, deberías tener casi todos los pasos automatizados... # Paso 1 # Empaqueto las fuentes en formato deb ## make-kpkg --revision=$VERSION kernel_source no hay ninguna opción descomentada, es decir, ¿no tendría que estar la última sentencia sin los ##? Habla un puro novato de Linux, recuerdo. Está opción la suelo mantener comentada porque cuando compilo lo suelo hacer con los fuentes originales. Si lo que quisiera es 'repartir' las fuentes del kernel, en formato debian, lo descomentaría. Con estaopción, se crearán las fuentes como paquete debian. Por otra parte, he leído que si tienes una máquina Intel, como es mi caso, también se necesita el paquete bin86, ¿es cierto? Supongo que sí pero como no lo mencionáis, pues no sé... Pues si, te es necesario. Y por último, una vez que tenga ese fichero, 'Compilar-kernel.sh', por ejemplo, con los permisos adecuados y tal, ¿lo ejecuto y él sólo se encargará de actualizar o compilar mi kernel o lo que sea? Si no, ¿qué es lo que debería hacer a continuación? Cuando ejecutas ese script, lo primero que hace es llevarte al menu del kernel. En esos menus, debes elegir las opciones que mas se adecuen a la maquina para la que quieras compilar el kernel. Te encuenta que puedes utilizar una maquina para compilar el kernel para otra. Una vez que has elegido las opciones adecuadas, al salir del menu de opcines del kernel continuará el proceso, totalmente automatizado, que te creará en /usr/src/ varios paquetes debian, conteniendo la imagen del kernel, las 'header' y la documentacion, para que, con un simple dpkg -i /usr/src/*.deb puedas instalar el nuevo kernel. Espero que despues de esta 'larga' explicación, la cosa te resulta más clara :) Muchísimas gracias. dnd -- =8= ___ _ _ / ___|_ _| (_) ___ Grupo de Usuarios de LInux de Canarias | | _| | | | | |/ __| Pasate por nuestro web | |_| | |_| | | | (__ http://www.gulic.org/ \|\__,_|_|_|\___| Clave GPG en las paginas de Gulic Key fingerprint = F734 17F5 3AB6 E1F6 11C4 B498 5B3E FEDF 90DF =8= pgp9gu147eUXK.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Gnome: instalacion minima, :-?
No soy experto asi que no voy a asentar cátedra, pero juraría que las aplicaciones gnome necesitan las librerías gtk para funcionar y no el propio gnome, si usas windowmaker, prueba a seleccionar wmaker-gnome desde dselect para ver si con eso ya establece las dependencias de librerias necesarias para usar aplicaciones gnome. De todos modos si tienes que compilar una aplicación que de GNOME en el README o en algún archivo en concreto de las fuentes te dirá que librerías necesitas más exactamente para compilar y hacer funcionar el archivo en concreto.

Actualización de Kernel 2.
Hola. Sigo intentando actualizar mi Kernel. De momento he instalado 2 paquetes llamados 'kernel-source-2.2.4' y 'kernel-source-2.2.4-intl', el primero de los cuales estaba dentro de la categoría 'Opcionales' mientras que el segundo estaba dentro de los 'Extras'. He descomprimido el primero, ¿qué es el segundo? En la explicación que venía en el 'dselect' ponía exactamente lo mismo que en el otro. ¿Lo necesito o me vale sólo con el primero? Después, al descomprimir el 'kernel-source-2.2.4', me ha generado un directorio con el mismo nombre, pero ninguno llamado 'linux' en '/usr/src/'. ¿Debo crear yo el directorio 'linux' y copiar el que se ha descomprimido allí? Porque no sé cómo se le puede cambiar el nombre a un directorio. Gracias por la ayuda y por vuestro tiempo. Espero poder seguir con el resto yo sólo. Si no, ya os preguntaré. Saludos. Emilio.

Discagem automatica do RDSI (ISDN) acontecendo aparentemente sem requisicao de trafego

There are two issues currently, both Glide-related and both ignored by the 3Dfx-HOWTO: 1) I got the 3Dfx and Glide drivers from linux.3dfx.com, used alien to convert their rpms to debs, and installed them. Their test program (test3Dfx) runs fine for root, but segfaults if a normal user tries to run it. Their site suggests that you try running it both as root and as a normal user, but doesn't say anything about how to troubleshoot it if it doesn't work for non-root users. Any suggestions on how to get that working? 2) When I try to start up Myth2 (whether as root or not) it dies because it can't open libglide2x.so.

Re: installing apache from source

Could be. Seems I read somewhere that apache had to be compiled with php3 support. I guess slink's apache is. On the systems I've used it on, all I did was install it, uncomment the php3 line from apaches config file, and edit the php3 config file so it could find the rest of the php3 stuff I'd installed. I haven't tried php3 on a slink system so I don't know if there is much more to do to get it to work. Are you saying that doesn't work under slink or is there a benefit of compiling from scratch? This could very well work, and does, obviously, if you've done it. As for any benefits, I don't know. Anyway, If you mark the package to be Purged instead of removed it'll remove the config files also. If you're REALLY paranoid about this stuff you could always make a backup copy of the config files... Yeah, I know purge would remove them, I just wanted to make sure the 'remove' wouldn't. I don't think a backup will be necessary, I'll just fetch the php3 package from slink. Thanks -- hypnos mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: SMC EzCard 10/100
hello (the other nate) i have one of those cards as well, and it works great in linux, just make sure to use a recent kernel or you will have to manually update the driver. http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/rtl8139.html There are too many vendors selling RTL8139 boards to list them all. The RTL8139 and RTL8139A chips have the ability to load a different PCI Vendor and Device ID from the EEPROM. Combined with a unique chip label, some boards give the appearance of being new and unique chips. Identified chips that fall into this category are Accton MPX5030 series (relabeled RTL8139) SMC 1211TX (relabeled RTL8139) only his newer drivers can see the relabled chips.. one weird thing, i have a 3COM 3C905B that _refuses_ to work with a linksys 10/100 switch, today i swapped it for a 3COM 3C905C and it appears to work fine! wtf! damn 3com.. nate On Mon, 3 Jan 2000, Nate Duehr wrote: nate Ahh!

Re: 2.2.x modules
well, since adding module support is rather basic i can't imagine there being a document on how to do it(unless your talking about *programming* modules) i hope i got your question right. if you built your own kernel and did not include module support, go back to the configuration of the kernel (be it config, menuconfig, or xconfig) and go to the loadable module support section, and turn on [*] Enable loadable module support [*] Kernel module loader and i suggest turning OFF: [ ] Set version information on all symbols for modules having it on can cause problems on some 3rd party modules(it was a major headache for me in vmware) then recompile your kernel, reinstall it and reboot. if your using a kernel that came with the system chances are it already has module support enabled. note that if you want better security it is best to have module support *OFF* as there was lots of talk about trojan modules that crackers use to hide their activities, i generally try to keep my servers fully static, but my main machine at home has about 30 modules(about 26 of which cannot be compiled into the kernel: ) also make sure you have a recent version of modutils(insmod -V) i use 2.1.121 and it works fine with kernel 2.2.10. if you need info on how to configure/compile a kernel let me know i'd be happy to walk you through what i do to make a new kernel(although its from my days as a slackware user and by no means is it 'standard debian practice') :) nate On Mon, 3 Jan 2000, Chris Hoover wrote: wax_ma Is there a good document on how to setup a 2.2.x kernel to use modules?

Problem with ncurses since 01/02/2000 apt-get dist-upgrade
I recently did a apt-get dist-upgrade on Jan 2nd, which updated ncurses to version 5.0. I didn't notice any problems at first, but I went to build a custom version of Nethack and noticed that it failed to compile with curses errors. In examining the directorys, I found the following. During the update to curses5 all these links were changed in my /usr/include directory. lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 11 Jan 2 20:54 curses.h - ../curses.h lrwxrwxrwx1 root root8 Jan 2 20:54 eti.h - ../eti.h lrwxrwxrwx1 root root9 Jan 2 20:54 form.h - ../form.h lrwxrwxrwx1 root root9 Jan 2 20:54 menu.h - ../menu.h lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 12 Jan 2 20:54 ncurses.h - ../ncurses.h lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 10 Jan 2 20:54 panel.h - ../panel.h lrwxrwxrwx1 root root9 Jan 2 20:54 term.h - ../term.h lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 12 Jan 2 20:54 termcap.h - ../termcap.h lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 11 Jan 2 20:54 unctrl.h - ../unctrl.h All of these are broken symlinks, and with a little furthur testing I have confirmed that no program that requires curses will now build sucessfully on my potato system. Has anyone else ran into this problem, and is there a suggested fix? With so many programs using curses now days, this seems to be a serious problem. Any suggests would be most appreciated. Todd

Re: installing apache from source
If apache that was installed was compiled with DSO support, then you should be able to add php support by going into dselect and and selecting it. DSO means Dynamic Shared Objects. Search your system for apxs which is the perl script that allows you to dynamically compile in modules. Then find your httpd binary and execute it as follows $ httpd -l It should list all the compiled in modules. If it lists mod_so.c then you have DSO support. If you feel inclined, you can grab the php source, and compile its module. In the PHP source you will find INSTALL.DSO where it will explain the steps to install it.

Re: CTRL-C Doesn't work??!! ....
[ about Ctrl-C having no effect ] So... in conclusion: Ctrl-C is working fine - the signal is being received. However, the shell isn't killing the running process Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Doesn't Ctrl-C work for any program at all? It does not work for a lot of interactive programs when they are expecting input. In those cases you can usually press Ctrl-Z to stop the program, read the number in brackets that bash prints, and use that in a kill command, like this: $ xclock [ press Ctrl-Z ] [1]+ Stopped xclock $ kill %1 If you cannot kill a non-interactive program like xclock with Ctrl-C, I don't know what is going on. Note however that specific programs can choose to ignore Ctrl-C. I do not believe programs can choose to ignore a stop signal (Ctrl-Z). HTH, Eric -- E.L.

Re: wmsound: Error on Play Event
Hi,
write(2, Error on Play Event\n, 20Error on Play Event
Not sure if your problem is very simple, but I've seen this
message when 1) the sound set for the event does not exist
and 2) when the /dev/dsp device is open by some other process
maybe it was wmscope.
I'm not sure what your situation is. Do you have a /dev/dsp
device? Does it work with wavp some_file.wav for instance?
(Assuming you have the wavp program from the wave tools package).
It has been some time since I setup my sounds, but I would
look in the ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMSound file (you do have one
right?) for sounds that are specified but do not exist. I also
don't remember if I compiled wmsound myself or not. In any case
I have included my file, in case it helps get you going. I
grabbed a bunch of sounds from the net, so replace with your
names as needed...

debhelper, potato sources on slink
Hi, I tried to build several potato packages for my slink machine. This failed, because some debhelper scripts were not available. After installing the potato version of debhelper, it failed again, this time because some command (it might have been chown) did not support some command line option. Under another subject this problem was mentioned recently, but the author encountered problems related to debhelper and perl. This suggest to me, that 1) dependencies of debhelper in potato are wrong 2) (some/all) potato sources are build with potato debhelper Potato sources seem to be useless for slink installations. Does anybody know how to deal with this? Jens

Re: debhelper, potato sources on slink
Hi! Potato sources seem to be useless for slink installations. Some may be useless, e.g. sources that explicitly require glibc-2.1 or gcc-2.95. The problems I encountered where in no case compiler- or library-related. Compilation worked fine. The only problem was that the package building process did not work. I could have installed the programs by hand, but I would have to bypass the package control system and would get problems when the real packages eventually come out. It should be possible to build packages for local installations from potato. If it is not possible to do this, many of the advantages of providing source packages and not merely sources would go away. You would be stuck with stable. So often someone's problems were solved by grab the potato version of it. If I install a package from unstable and it does not work right in my environment, that is OK. But I want at least to try if I like to. Without having to turn my whole system into something unstable. Jens

RE: Modem dials without reason
Hi Paul, cron jobs are ok. The only one running from that you mentioned is exim. And it should only run every 53 minutes: # 53 * * * * mail if [ -x /usr/sbin/exim ]; then /usr/sbin/exim -q /dev/null 21; fi I commented it out (as shown), but dialing goes on. In the manpages it says, that I won't have to restart cron after shanging jobs. So it should have worked.

Re: split archives using tar
This is not exactly what you were asking for, but you might try something like: tar -cvMf /dev/sdz directories_to_archive where /dev/sdz is replaced by the device for your Zip drive. The 'M' option should (according to the man page) cause tar to prompt you for the next disk when it runs out of space on the first one. You can then extract the 'multi-volume' archive with a command like: tar -xvMf /dev/sdz I highly recommend using cpio in preference to tar if the archives are for your own use and not public distribution to unknown platforms. The command to use cpio would be: find directories_to_archive | cpio -ovH crc /dev/sdz Cpio will automatically span volumes and prompt for the next disk or tape when it runs out of space. The 'H crc' option a causes GNU cpio to create an archive in portable ASCII format with a 32-bit CRC for each file. This allows you to easily verify the archive's integrity and detect errors on restore. Unlike tar, cpio will not puke if it encounters a single error on restore but will continue to restore all undamaged data after the error. To verify with cpio: cpio --only-verify-crc -iv /dev/sdz This will not print any messages except the final block count if all the CRC checks are good. This does not compare files on tape to those on disk but instead reads the file from tape, calculates a CRC, and then compares it with the one stored on the tape at the time of creation to see if they match. To restore with cpio: cpio -imudv /dev/sdz Warning: the 'u' option causes cpio to automatically overwrite existing files on disk with those from the archive. --- John Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: run tar so that it will take a 500 Meg archive and split it into 5 100 Meg tar files?

If you send me your exim.conf file I might be able to help...
I find that recent eximconfig will add a procmail director
to exim.conf. with bugs.
# This director runs procmail for users who have a .procmailrc file
procmail:
driver = localuser
transport = procmail_pipe
require_files = +${home}:+${home}/.procmailrc:/usr/bin/procmail
^^ hopefully these + shall fix the problem.
no_verify
IIRC, without these exim defers the mail when it cannot check the
existence of .procmailrc (when the home dir is not readable) With the
+ signs exim just ignore the director and proceed to the next one.
howto send message open xterm
Can someone tell me how to send a message to any open xterm? When I used to receive my email from a Novell server, a broadcast message would print to any open xterm when I received mail. Now I would like to add that function to my simple bash script local mail checker. Can someone suggest a simple way to do this (e.g. echo New mail arrived `date` ???)? Thanks. -- Brian J.

Going into preferences and erasing the disk cache from inside netscape does not seem to clear things up btw. jpb -- Joe Block [EMAIL PROTECTED] CREOL System Administrator Social graces are the packet headers of everyday life.

python startup files
According to some python documentation I have read I should put commands that I want executed in every interactive python session into the file `~/.pythonrc.py'. I have done that but these commands do not seem to be executed when I start python on a Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 system with ||/ NameVersionDescription +++-===-==- ii python-base 1.5.1-7An interactive object-oriented scripting lan Is there another convention for python startup with this package? Also, what is the recommended form for adding to the python search path? I believe there is an environment variable to set. Please cc: me on replies.

network troubles
Greetings: I recently made a jump from caldera to debian and am in general very happy. I am, tho, getting hung up on a few points... a. Is there some sort of system configuration tool, like lisa/lizard, netconfig, etc available for Debian? I do enjoy editing .conf files and scripts but a frontend would be a big help considering how much time I spend looking for the configuration files! b. How can I change the system name I came up with during install? I even grep'd through /etc and can't find the current system name anywhere. c. My old system is set up with ADSL and ipforwarding. Starting with a clean slate, I can bring up lo and ping localhost. I then bring up eth0 with ifconfig, add the local network route, and can't ping in or out of the system. ifconfig shows no packet movement. What I'm getting desperate to do is: - bring up eth0 and eth1 - set up eth0 with my static ip address and make it the default gateway - set up eth1 as the local nic I'm sure I'm missing something simple in some configuration file but I just can't find it. If someone could walk me through this, or point me to some specific documentation (I've read over the NAG and Network HowTo too many times to count) I'd be eternally grateful! TIA Mike

No, it should only be in the gmc package, as the convert-metadata.db script is also only in this package, and it is its manpage that you have problems with. What confuses me is that debian/rules copies the manpage to the gmc buildtree only. So I have no idea how you managed to get it into the mc package :-) As a quick fix, --force-overwrite when installing will do it. Ciao, Martin
Re: .emacs file please
Hi all, I'm just coming to grips with emacs and discovered that most people have a .emacs file with default settings that they can use. 1) At least with XEamcs, probably with Emacs too, you can try Help-Samples. 2) You can look at Emacs Beginner's HOWTO, I belkieve the author append one or mention a link for 1 or 2.
Re: pointer trails in X?
Is it possible via some configuration to get the mouse to have a trail in X? It makes it nice to spot the cursor after your eyes have lost focus of it. (1) I am not sure but I believe that it is the WM business and that Fvwm has an option to do it. (2) Isn't xeyes do just that?
