Re: [el no va más...]
Estimado Manuel: He usado Red Hat durante un año, y te dire que si sabes usar la utilidad apt-get debian es la mejor distribucion que existe. El sistema de actualizacion por internet es insuperable. Ademas la organizacion es clara, y no tiene problemas como los que tiene Red Hat. Para que te des idea del espiritu de Red Hat, los archivos /etc/issue y /etc/issue.net (que son los que dan el mensaje de bienvenida) tienen al inicio como en debian un cartel con el nombre de la distribucion. En Debian modificas ese archivo y tu linux al logearse puede decir lo que quieras. En Red Hat si los cambias hay un stript que se corre al reiniciar que vuelve a poner Red Hat Linux te guste o no... En fin, mi idea es que no podes confiar en nadie que te quiera en realidad sacar plata del bolsillo. En Red Hat hubo cosas que no compilaba y tuve miles de problemas que debian no tiene.

Dependencias en debian
Antes de instalar un paquete debian es muy fácil saber de qué paquetes depende. Pero si los paquetes de los que depende necesitan a su vez de otros, ¿cómo me lo monto para saber absolutamente todos los paquetes que necesita el que yo quiero instalar?

Sobre Exim
El otro dia escribi sobre que no me enviaba los mensajes, era problema de que me conectaba con un proveedor distinto al que me daba servicio de correo, por eso me salia el error. Ahora ya puedo enviar, pero tengo un problema cuando recojo el correo con fetchmail, todo ok, pero exim no me reparte el correo a los usuarios... He retocado casi todo, pero nada. Alguien me puede mandar su fichero de configuración para ver en que me equivoco, o si no, envio el mio a quien me lo solicite para ver si esta correcto. OK? Gracias. Cuando lo tenga todo bien, prometo hacer un HOWTO pequeñito sobre como configurar todo un sistema de correo, usando fetchmail, exim, y Emacs/Gnus, también con smail, que era el que usaba, para que toda una familia en su hogar pueda compartir la máquina para recibir y enviar correo, etc. (¿Esta ya hecho algo asi?)

xterm-debian and SunOs
Hello, I have copied Debian's xterm-debian terminfo onto a SunOS computer (under $HOME/.terminfo), so I can connect from a Debian xterm without problems. However, recently I have started noticing it doesn't work properly on initial login (backspace doesn't work). Instead, I have to type in TERM=$TERM (TERM is xterm-debian before and after.) I believe this command forces zsh to reread the terminfo entry. which fixes the problem. This seems kind of silly to me. Any ideas? I have the following line in my .zshenv file (yes, I use zsh): export TERMINFO=$HOME/.terminfo Perhaps zsh doesn't realize that the terminfo entry which previously couldn't be found is now available. -- Brian May [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FreeBSD, Linux and NFS
I had this running beautifully on ReHad 6.1 and FreeBSD 3.2 before I moved my own box from RedHat to FreeBSD. --cokane Thomas Keusch had the audacity to say: Hello, does anybody happen to be running NFS between FreeBSD und Linux successfully and painless? I've got FreeBSD 3.4S cvsupped xmas or one, maybe two days after, running as NFS server, while my Linux v2.2.14 box is the client. On Linux, I mount stuff like this: $ mount -t nfs -o ro,noauto,user,tcp,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr \ darkstar:/storage /tmp/storage.darkstar On the FreeBSD side of the universe, I've got this in /etc/rc.conf: $ grep -e nfs -e mount /etc/rc.conf nfs_server_enable=YES nfs_server_flags=-t -n 4 mountd_flags=-2 -r Ok, so if I get things right, which I think (hopefully) I do, this means that Linux mounts NFS filesystems via TCP/IP, the FreeBSD server forces NFS v2 via the -2 switch given to mountd and the 4 nfsd only serve stuff via TCP/IP (-t argument). But, stressing my home LAN a little bit the last few days, it happened to me three times already that the server simply stops serving the fs (or NFS in general, I didn't check before restarting stuff :-( ), while it stays perfectly functional in all other ways I can think of. Ok, it may be that no new/further NFS exported fs may be mounted by remote machines, I don't know yet, but I can get you current if asked to. Maybe it is just a regular permission problem that it can't mount the fs in question via loopback networking. Restarting nfsd/mountd, whichever order of starting them, doesn't seem to help, on the Linux box processes accessing the NFS fs still hang. Having restarted the daemons, I can mount another fs, though. (Don't know if this works without restarting, sorry.

Problems with gateway on LAN
I have a network of 4 machines. Two running Debian, one Win98 and one WinNT. I have been trying to setup one of the Linux machines as a masqurading gateway with aliased interfaces.

Re: Allowing users to shutdown
At last somebody has an acceptable solution for this use of GNU/Linux!! This question has been sent to the gnome, debian, redhat and suse lists in December with no answer like this, see the summary in the gnome-list or the debian-user list dated December 14 1999. The closest was to use sudo or similar since I don't want to use xdm/gdm/kdm. Now only remains how to find a similar solution for kde.

Martin addressed Allowing users to shutdown: I have set up a Linux workstation for my family's use. They only need to keep the system on for short periods. (For various reasons I don't want to leave it on full time.) They are using the icewm window manager, which, when they hit ctrl-alt-del, gives them the option of shutting down or rebooting the system. /sbin/shutdown has permissions that do not allow them to use the shutdown command, unfortunately. What permissions must I set to allow anyone on that system to shut it down? If you run Gnome on a home workstation you could customize it like I did for a friend who is a just learning Linux. Gnome has hardwired code that needs /usr/bin/shutdown and looks for a /var/lock/console/$USER before adding reboot and halt options to the Log out popup from the gnome menu.

Fast serial port for modem?
Having an ISDN external modem and the possibility to use two channels simultaneously, gives the theoretical speed of 128 kbps. However, the UART's 16550A on the motherboard have a maximum speed of 115.2 kbps. Including overhead the transfer speed is further reduced. Measured speed are 62 kbps for one channel and 89 kbps for two channels. What to do? Looking around little gives the alternatives (prices vary from $40 to $80): 1. Installing an ISA serial port card with higher speed (interrupts). 2. Installing an PCI serial port card with higher speed. 3. Installing an USB to serial port converter. The computer has an USB port available. Where can I find USB software supporting this (pathches for 2.2.x or using 2.3.x) ? Any appropriate modem software available? Opinions? Recommendations? Experiences? Svante S.

Re: modem support
Unfortunetly at this point in time win modems are really not supported, and due to the way they function, probably never will be. I recommend a good external modem, such as a USR/3COM Sportster or if you can afford it/find it for a good price a USR/3COM Courier. I have an external courier I have had for almost 10 years now, and it works awesome, it was fully software upgradeable to X2 and then V.90, it has seem MANY thousands of hours of use and still works awesome.

How to fix apt/dpkg/dselect
I have been trying for three or four days to get my x server to run. I can't get dselect or apt to do the intelligent thing when it comes to re-installing anything. If I fix something (by brute-force: download via ftp and install), something else breaks. apt and dselect are hopelessly trapped in loops or something about what depends on what, what I should have installed and so on. For instance: at the moment, I am trying to install man-db, since I don't have any man pages (don't ask). I do: apt-get install man-db I get: ... You might want to run apt-get install -f... Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: man-db: Depends: groff rstart: Depends: netstd but it is not going to be installed rstartd: Depends: netstd but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try apt-get -f install with no packages (or specify a solution) I thought apt was supposed to *sort out* dependencies. So I do: apt-get install -f and I get: blah blah blah The following... will be installed: netstd ... 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 10 packages not fully installed or removed. ...Do you want to continue? I say Yes. I get: Unpacking netstd... dpkg: error processing... netstd_3.07-7slink... trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/finger', which is also in package finger dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: ...netstd_3.07-7slink...

Some daimons watched over/guarded human beings (the origin of the much later idea of guardian angel), their homes and families, as some were associated with particular, often sacred, places. In Greek literature, a person is often said to have a lucky or an unlucky daimon. The Sphinx of ancient Greek legend was a hostile daemon.

Now using 'smail', fetchmail works fine too, though my $HOME/.fetchmailrc is the same of when I tried to use exim...?!!? Ok. Now I have got another little problem with 'smail': I have got Debian 2.1 (slink) on a PC (Pentium), and my MUA (mail user agent) is 'mutt'. Does 'smail' put outgoing e-mails in /var/spool/smail/input ? I think that is true, and I think when 'smail complete the delivering, it removes files from the folder above. Well. When I send e-mail on-line (connected to internet), 'smail' often SEEMS sleeping and it takes al lot of time for removing files in /var/spool/smail/input, and then (I think) it takes a lot of times to deliver them too.

And if you reverse the order of the modes, it will start in the biggest

Re: 2.2.10-14 i686 SMP: IDE RAID-5 array hangs on mount
[Adam Powell [EMAIL PROTECTED]] Okay, but the current RAID in 2.2.14 doesn't work now (for SMP), and doesn't work right (if it's being replaced). I guess one could ask, how did this happen? IIRC, Ingo was rewriting RAID during the Linux 2.1 cycle. Somehow it didn't make it into the main tree before Linus declared the (first) feature freeze. The new-style RAID is better than the old in all respects, *but* it requires a new userspace toolset, so it is *not* in any way a drop-in replacement. After 2.2 came out (or maybe shortly before), some people started pushing hard to get RAID 0.90 into the mainstream kernel. But by then it was too late. You see, as bad as it looks to have old, broken RAID in the kernel and new 'n' improved RAID in a patch somewhere, it looks just as bad (from some people's perspective anyway) to force people to upgrade their userspace tools when moving from (say) kernel 2.2.3 to 2.2.4. Similar with knfsd and ISDN. When 2.2.0 shipped, much-improved versions of both knfsd and ISDN were out there, but the diffs were too large to drop them into a kernel that was supposed to be near-stable. Happily, Alan decided that for 2.2.14, since the new knfsd does not require userspace tool upgrades, he could put the new one in. New ISDN didn't get merged until mid-2.3, and that will *not* go in 2.2. It's a release management thing. You just *can't* break your userspace in the middle of a stable kernel, no matter how much it seems to make sense, unless there's a reason as important as, say, security. -bool 'Multiple devices driver support' CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD +bool 'Unmaintained multiple devices driver support' CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD Looks good to me. (Not that my opinion is worth anything in this context.) Peter

Sorry to drop in without having read the original message. In my opinion more
is an outdated command. more divides the file to be displayed into
screenfull's, and displays them one screen after another. Program as less,
zless or most enable you to scroll through the file to be read. In other
words, you can go up and down, instead of only down. Thus, if you want to look
what files you have in a directory with many files, you can do:
ls |less
If you want to read a large file with text, you can do:
less file.txt

Hard drive partitioning. My thoughts.
After reading the replies, and the FHS several times, I've decided to use the following partitioning scheme. Currently 6G hda2G for WindowsNT, 100M for /, 64M Swap, 1G for /home, and the rest, almost 2G for /usr. Proposed. 6G hda 2G for WindowsNT, 100M for /, 64M Swap, rest for /home. 13G hdb 4G for /usr, 4G for /opt, 4G for /var, and two 650 M partitions for CD images. I realise the hdb doesn't quite add up, but this is just an approximation. This should give me plenty of room for various app's that I want to install. The most important one being StarOffice. Once I get that installed, I can get the family used to Linux instead of Windows and hopefully I can wipe the Windows partition off completely by the end of the year. If any one thinks I should divide the space differently, I'd like to hear the reasoning. This is based mainly on the FHS and seems to make sense to me, but I'm still learning about Linux. Thanks to everyone who had input, and offered their ideas of partitioning schemes. Cheers, John Gay

less and color
I have setup the ls command to use the display color option using an alias. It works fine. Colors are also displayed nicely when piping ls stdout to the more command. I want to use less instead of more. However, when piping ls stdout to the less command, less displays the directory listing in b/w and with control characters (escape seq with hex numbers?) around the filenames instead of just using the correct colors. Has anyone out there fixed this problem? I have tried changing the LESSCHARSET env. variable with no luck. Advice or tips would be appreciated.

Greetings, this is gonna be a looong posting. ;- BTW: You definately should get in touch with the debian-devel ML and ask there how the libc-upgrade is organized. This part of the system is subject to constant change and I do not know much about the work being done there, since I am no longer subscribed to debian-devel. First about debian dependencies: if I remember right, I ran apt-get over the libc-upgraded system to fix broken dependencies. I am not sure, but maybe I used a dpkg --force option to drop unstable libc and libc-dev. If it comes down to that I would try to compile glibc 2.1 with =unchanged= (!) slink libs first and observe the results! Anything else comes down to severe system-bashing, as I will explain below. However - yes, I had some trouble with timezones later, especially date complained about the timezone not beeing set. You will probably have to use the tools in package base/timezone namely tzselect, tzconfig and zic. Other means of fixing the problem: If this leads to no success, here is how I do it on my system. This of course is not covered by debian policy since I use self compiled tools from non-debian packages (tarball releases)! Since I manage my environment over a couple of scripts executed at login time, it was rather easy to set the environment variable TZ as proposed by the hwclock manpage. The TZ env-var takes care of most user space programs to tell them the proper timezone. But you also have to run hwclock --hctosys at to inform the kernel of this timezone setting (hope I did get that right). Some filesystem drivers depend on the correct value being stored in the kernel. Further information: Have a look at the following manpages to get more systematical information about timezones: hwclock, tzconfig, tzselect, zic Greetings, Tilman. __ this part of the mail is still under construction

It is still at 2.0.36 (or .39, I forget which). How? Why? Thanks btw for all the help yesterday!
