Xdm: con instalar no basta, hay que frotarrr!
Hola, pues he instalado el paquete `xdm' 3.3.5 (sacado de la Corel Linux) y al reiniciar el equipo me da este error: Checking for valid XFree86 server configuration...error in configuration file. Not starting X display manager. El caso es que he mirado un poco los ficheros de configuración, pero no me aclaro. La idea es utilizarlo para dar acceso a las X a un ordenador en la red de 2 ordenadores que me acabo de montar, :-) Este tiene pocos recursos, y quería que el principal cargase con las X y el otro visualizase. En una página he visto este truco: = http://aquiles.uca.es/matelinux/trucos.html Sean por ejemplo remoto.x.es el ordenador remoto y local.x.es el ordenador con pocos recursos que prentendemos actúe como X-terminal del primero. El ordenador remoto deberá estar ejecutando xdm. Éste es un gestor de cuentas X, que pueden estar tanto en la propia máquina como en otras. En cuanto a local.x.es, deberemos instalar al menos un sistema Linux mínimo con soporte básico de X-Windows. Yo, utilizando la distribución Slakware96, lo he hecho usando solamente 50Mb de disco. Bastará entonces arrancar Linux en el ordenador local y ejecutar la orden: $ X -quiet -query remoto.x.es El resultado es espectacular: El ordenador remoto gestionará el gestor xdm mostrando su salida en el ordenador local. Podremos entrar en nuestra cuenta y utilizar nuestros programas habituales como si estuviéramos en la consola del propio remoto. = ¿Qué os parece? Saludos. -- ~~~ Cosme P.

Re: La última sobre impresión.
El Fri, Mar 17, 2000, Emilio Hernández Martín... ¿Cómo puedo hacer para que un usuario pueda acceder al servicio de impresión? Me dice que no tengo permiso.

Ayuda con dpkg
Buenas a todos. Yo he sido hasta ahora usuario de Redhat y su sistemas de paquetes y ahora pues me he pasado a Debian. Razones, aunque actualizaciones más lentas pero estan seguras y no creo que cambien su filosofia de open source, no pienso lo mismo de Redhat o otras distribuciones. En fin, que ha pesar de su dificultad me he pasado a Debian con todas las consecuencias. El primer problema fue que con los discos de la Slink no pude instalar el sistema hasta las ultimas consecuencias y lo he hecho a fuerza de dpkg -i, y me ha ido bien, he tardado tiempo pero me ha ido bien. Pero ete aqui que empiezo a trabajar, por probar con el apt, y o hay manera. Hago pruebas, me leo los manuales y no acabo de entender. Todo empezo por querar actualizar las kde 1.1.1 a las 1.1.2, queria hacerlo de una tacada. En fin que decisto y me pongo de nuevo con el dpkg, y ahora no funciona, cuando intento instalar un paque me dice que no puede renombrar el link en /user/bin.dpkg.new, sistema de fichero de solo lectura. En fin, que aqui me veo sin poder instalar ningun paquete más, y no veo en los manuales ninguna referencia a ese error. Mi sistama es el slink con el kernel 2.0.36 recopilado de nuevo y instale el apt 0.3.2, el último para slink. Gracias por vuestra ayuda y a ver que puede ser. Hasta luego.
Re: Conectar a Internet : problemas con el módem.
He mirado en la configuración de windows y sobre el módem pone que está instalado en el COM3 de DOS, que creo que corresponde a ttyS2, ¿no? Además he visto que la dirección es 3E8, el UART (que no sé lo que es) NS 16550AN y la velocidad máxima 115 Kbaudios (115200 en realidad, creo), además de otras cosas. Intentemos configurar el puerto /dev/ttyS2 con setserial. Intentalo editando /etc/serial.conf Yo tengo el siguiente garnacha:/etc# more serial.conf ###AUTOSAVE### /dev/ttyS0 uart 16550A port 0x03f8 irq 4 spd_normal skip_test session_lockout /dev/ttyS1 uart 16550A port 0x02f8 irq 3 spd_normal skip_test session_lockout /dev/ttyS2 uart unknown port 0x03e8 irq 4 spd_normal skip_test /dev/ttyS3 uart unknown port 0x02e8 irq 3 spd_normal garnacha:/etc# Sustituye en la linea del /dev/ttyS2 la palabra unknown por tu UART, es decir, pon 16550A. Las UART sin chips que controlan los puertos serie. Los modelos 16550A son muy comunes. Supongo que la tuya 16550AN funcionara poniendo 16550A. La velocidad spd_normal cambiala a spd_vhi para que te vaya a 115kb la comunicacion modem-PC. Luego para reinicializar tecleas /etc/init.d/setserial restart y prueba con el wmdial para ver si ahora te lo detecta. Con el comando setserial puedes probar directamente diferentes configuraciones (autodetectar la IRQ, el puerto de I/O, velocidad...) Si al final te funciona puedes modificar el /etc/serial.conf para que cuando arranque te lo configure siempre asi. Espero que te funcione. K-charro
Problemas para oir musica desde el CD en Debian
Hola colisteros No se si alguno de vosotros estará en la misma situación que yo. Tengo una Sound Blaster Live! con los drivers opensource para linux. El caso es que puedo oir otro tipo de sonidos excepto la música desde el CD.No, no es problema del cable que va desde el CD a la tarjeta porque desde Winblows si que funciona. Incluso cuando tengo el modulo emu10k1(modulo para la sblive! recien cargado) se ve unused, en cuanto ejecuto cdplay ya no sale lo del unused pero aun asi no oigo nada de nada. ¿Alguna idea? En la otra máquina si que he llegado a oir la música desde el cd sin problemas. Agradecería que alguien me iluminara con este problema.. Saludos Daniel

Re: Problemas al compilar
Yo consegui compilar el khylafax en el ordenador de casa despues de mucho esfuerzo. De memoria te cuento algo de lo que hice por si te vale. Si te has instalado el kde desde los paquetes debian preparados por rkrusty, vas a tener que hacerte enlaces a los sitios donde tengas los archivos de cabecera. En debian van en un sitio, y los programas de kde suelen mirar en otro. En mi caso, mire el fuente, y vi las cabeceras que buscaba, por ejemplo, cabecera.h, luego la busque con el comando find (por ejemplo: find / -name cabecera.h -print) Asi encontre donde estaban las dichosas cabeceras. Luego cree un enlace donde el programita a compilar esperaba encontrarlas y me funciono. Seguro que hay algo mas elegante, pero me funciono. Tambien me hicieron falta algunos paquetes adicionales del kde, que no recuerdo bien, pero probe al tun-tun hasta que funciono. Por ejemplo con los paquetes para desarrollar (acabados en -dev), por ejemplo kdesupport0g-dev, o kdelibs2g-dev 1.- Tengo el paquete kwebget-0.3.tar.gz, pero el problema es que al ejecutar como usuario el configure me sale directamente: configure: error: can not find sources in ././ or .. y como root: configure: error: can not find sources in . or .. 2.- El otro dia me baje el archivo kwargames-1.0.tar.gz, pero al ejecutar el configure como root desde las Xs me sale el siguiente error: checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no kde headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix! La verdad es que tengo KDE (1.1.1 me parece...) o sea que esto parece no tener sentido :? Si alguien pudiera ayudarme en alguno de los casos, o en los dos :), se lo agradeceria mucho.

JetAdmin: error in loading shared libraries
Hi, I'm trying to get HP JetAdmin to work with Debian potato frozen (the hp web page says they support RedHat v 5-6). When I run the install script, I get the output: /usr/local/src/jetadmin/hpwebjet_printmsg: error in loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.2.7.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I have run 'dselect' and searched for libstdc++ but can't seem to find 2.7.2. I also recieved the same error for libg++.so.2.7.2 and it appears (I think?) that libc6 has what i need. (from dselect libg++27 section: This package contains the additional runtime libraries for g++, linked with libc5. (libg++272 is the libc6 package).) I'm not sure exactly how to procede at this point...I've read about creating symbolic links and exporting ld_library_config statements. I also read about the command (and executed) ldconfig -v. If I can't get this working on Debian, I think my only alternatives are to 1. switch back to RedHat or 2. install jetadmin on M$Windows (option 1 is sort-of palatable, 2 is not :-) ). Any advice, suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Dave Heistand Systems Analyst Boston University

Re: Free Internet... ?
The most recommended ISP was www.freeweb.com as shown below FreeWWWeb (http://www.freewwweb.com) claims you need Windows or MacOS, but they use a straightforward PPP connection. I set my account up with about ten minutes of perusing the kppp scripting literature. The only caveat is freewwweb requires you enter @freewwweb.com after the user name which is non-intuitive and had me banging my head up against the wall for a while. I get decent connection speeds here in Cincy, Ohio, USA. The only other complaint I have about freewwweb is that they changed the name of their mail server without notifying anyone, which was an inconvenience for a couple of days until I read their updated tech spec page. regards, Percival wrote: I apologize, but I remember that several days ago someone was talking about a free web access deal.

Best way to start eth0 without address
Hey everyone. I'm using unstable, and I was wondering what would be the best way to start up eth0 without a network address assigned to it? I need this, so that pppoe will work correctly. Currently, I have the following in /etc/networks/interfaces: iface eth0 inet static address 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 But on boot up, it complains like so SIOCSIFNETMASK: Cannot assign requested address There is no problem, since this does what I want, but I was wondering whether there is a cleaner way to do this. Thanks Marshal

Re: XF86Config per user?
I use a single workstation at home. Recently, other family members have started to use my system. The /etc/X11/XF86Config is edited by me for my preferences, but is there a way to let users decide e.g. what resolution to start their X session with. I like 1600x1200 but they might prefer say 800x600. I have read varios man-pages and FAQ:s without success. possibly you know that, but if you did not disable it, then any user might switch the resolution by pressing alt-ctrl-NumKeypad + or -. of course, the modelines have to be present and listed in the srceen section of xfconfig. this does not solve the problem to _startup_ with another resolution, but that's a question of three key presses ... i don't think, that a normal user may have local config files for the x-server, as it runs as root and that _could_ be really bad ... however, there is a workaround: let the users put xvidtune -next/prev (possibly mutliple times) in their ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc (or however the file is named under debian). -- Hi!

Re: how to chroot /home/ an ssh/telnet acct
i need to give someone shell access to my server (ssh) but i dont want him to go higher than /home/ ... any idea on how that can be done first question: why this paranoia? protecting other home directories is no problem - more precise: it is the default setting. if you have mounted dos-partitions, then you can put something like /dev/hda2 /c vfat uid=500,gid=100,umask=77,noexec,quiet 0 0 into your fstab to grant access to only one user (you, 500 should be replaced with your uid). more rights can be granted by giving a certain gid to files only you (as non-root) should have access to and put yourself in this privileged group; this technique is used, e.g. for granting full access to video devices for some users by chown-ing /dev/video? to root.video and putting the apropriate users into the video-group (a user may be in several groups). the files would be chmod-ed to rwxrwx---, etc. i can see no reason to hide the rest of the system from somebody you trust enough to give him a ssh-login. if you insist on an absolutely isolated system with an own /, you may specify a script (which chroot-es and resets $SHELL) as the login-shell of that user (just an idea ...). but you would have to set up a fully working linux-system in his home dir ... -- Hi!

Last chance: unresolved symbols and depmod weirdness
Last chance to help me before I reformat the blasted thing and reinstall Slink (I will probably NEVER install potato, so far it's a piece of, well you know...) I recompiled a 2.0.36 kernel, of course I had to use gcc 2.72. I copied System.map all over known creation, made modules_install did depmod and update-modules, everything seemed fine, until I reboot. Now I get 7 BAZILLION unresolved symbol references. I figured it's crufty, right? So I blew away the modules directory for 2.0.36, redid make modules_install and reboot. Now no matter how much I depmod, it replaces the modules.dep with some old version (from where??? It's about 5 and a half hours old -- I was nowhere near my machine at that time; and it doesn't correlate to any kind of UTC time or anything like that) and complains about what it just did. (it says You FOOL! /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.0.36/modules.dep!) Finally I ran depmod, then did chattr +i modules.dep on the stupid thing. Before I rebooted they were the exact same time. Please tell me I'm a moron and I'm clearly not running *command x*. Please tell me something...

Re: Unresolved symbols potato and kernel 2.0.36
Don't upgrade unless you have to.

I don't know if it is true, but it would not surprise me if the Potato kernel is not set to deal with sound modules. I always think compiling your own Well I have to use 2.0.36. 2.2 doesn't work for me, remember? And I use stock kernels because it avoids another level of confusion and troubleshooting in situations like this. I mean, why should I have unresolved symbols when I am using a stock kernel? And why does all of a sudden a list full of geniuses go completely silent? Grr. kernel is a good idea (you learn a lot about your computer and about linux), but others have differing opinions. Oh, and yes, shared IRQs are impossible. At least, I don't think Linux can deal with that setup. But, any linux kernel can deal with any number of serial ports if properly configured. Again, this gets back to building your own kernel. No they're not impossible. I am using it on 2.0.36. COM 1 and COM 3 (DOS) are by *default* a shared interrupt. With olny two interrupts assigned to serial ports you have to do some fancy footwork. If I do compile my own kernel (tried with a 2.2.14 one, no help) it doesn't solve the problem. The 'unresolved symbols' warnings have to do with module dependencies. Did you run 'depmod' after compiling and installing your sound modules? Yup. Also update-modules. You can try to insert the modules by hand using 'insmod', and when you run into troubles, you will at least know where you are in the process - which modules is not configured correctly or missing. Same errors. It doesn't just give me *an* error, it gives me about 40. I wish I could help more. There should be a modules howto Maybe I should write one. As soon as I figure them out.

Re: Unresolved symbols potato and kernel 2.0.36
I don't know nearly anything about this, but... did you activate module support in your kernel? It sounds like there has to be such a silly little thing that breaks it all. If you compile the kernel properly (at least it happened ok to me when I had 2.0.36), i.e. (make dep; make clean; make zImage(or other); make modules) and then reboot and (make modules-install), as far as I remember, that should solve it all. Though I imagine you already tried that. Last little thing I imagine that could mess it up is that you try to load some modules that really do not exist, as they have not been compiled. It's maybe a lot of work if you have 40 messages, but could you check for the existence of the files it looks for (I remember having trouble with my ethernet, and it was simply because I had forgotten to put an M on the right place.)

Re: Making the Windows key work
On Sun, 19 Mar 2000, Eric Hagglund wrote: Can someone explain (or point me to the correct documentation for) the procedure for making the Windows key pop up the start menu for the kde, fvwm or icewm desktops? To do something useful with the winkeys you must ensure that they are mapped to some keysyms and make the app bind some action to the keysym. I don't know why are you asking about IceWM, cause the winkeys are working in it ( the left is used for the start menu, the right for the window list). Is your keyboard set up correctly in /etc/X11/XF86Config (like the section below)? Section Keyboard ProtocolStandard XkbRulesxfree86 XkbModelpc104 XkbLayout us EndSection I don't use any of the Fvwm variants, maybe you can do something in the conffiles ? As about KDE, it is fairly easy. You can try this : Start up xkeycaps (an excellent program for editing keysyms); select the 104-key layout on startup; choose which one of the 2 winkeys do you want to use for the start menu (I use left in this example); change its keysym from Meta_L (the Meta_x is used in KDE for going to the application menu, so we must choose a different one) to something unused, let's say Super_L; save the keymap and exit xkeycaps (don't forget to rename the keymap file from ~/.xmodmap-hostname to ~/.xmodmap); go to K - Settings - Keys - Global keys; for 'Pop-up system menu' choose custom key, click on the key field an press the left winkey; press Ok. That's all !

Realplayer on Thinkpad 390E

I can play CDs, .wav files, mp3s, etc. However, I can't get sound to work correctly on my RealPlayer. Basically, the sound plays about three times faster than it should be. This problem happened on RealPlayer 5, G2 and now on version 7. Is this a problem with my Thinkpad (esssolo sound card), or with Realplayer? Or maybe something else? Any advice? Thanks!

DNS/resolver trouble
I just started having problems with my DNS queries after I recently upgraded potato (been running potato for quite a while). Now when I dial up I'm getting timeouts on queries. I have a local DNS server that serves my little 3-host home network. I also use the same box running my local DNS server to dial up to work via PPP. In the past I've had no trouble, but after my apt-get upgrade this weekend things are timing out with Unknown host when I'm dialed up and trying to connect to a remote machine. Local queries are still fine. It's as if nothing in /etc/resolv.conf is being used except my local DNS server. Here's what my /etc/resolv.conf looks like: search hennigan.bogus domain hennigan.bogus nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 134.253.181.25 nameserver 134.253.16.5 I realize, after reading resolv.conf(5), that only three namserver lines are used, but the last one, 134.253.16.5, is just a secondary DNS while 134.253.181.25 is primary for the sandia.gov domain. 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.1 are effectively the same host in this instance. If I attempt to look up a sandia.gov host I get: % nslookup host.mp.sandia.gov Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 *** localhost can't find talia.mp.sandia.gov: Non-existent host/domain If I do an interactive nslookup and set the server to 134.253.181.25 then the query works fine, eg., % nslookup server 134.253.181.25 Default Server: [134.253.181.25] Address: 134.253.181.25 host.mp.sandia.gov Server: [134.253.181.25] Address: 134.253.181.25 Name:host.mp.sandia.gov Address: 134.253.xxx.xx Curiously, host works, eg., % host host.mp.sandia.gov host.mp.sandia.gov A 134.253.xxx.xx but telnet, rsh, etc., all timeout with Unknown host messages.

However, I have the newest magicfilter installed (according to apt, pointed at potato), and ghostscript appears to not be available in potato: I get a message about it not having an available version although it is in the database, which means it may be obsolete. Thanks for getting me to the next level of troubleshooting, Mire; I appreciate it! gs was the package I was looking for. Now I'm printing! Thanks Mire!!!

Re: Free Internet... ? Why 14 mb?
Actually, I think it is probably a customized version of Internet Explorer. I don't know about the Mac, probably IE for that as well. Many ISPs offer versions of IE with their logos in place of the spinning 'e' and other customizations. Since some of them offer this, everyone else feels as though they have to do it as well. Update: The gateway through http://www.teledyn.com/products/FreeWWW works very well - and you don't download anything (just the setup.cgi). It took me a few tries to register, but everything seemed to go through just fine.

Re: no merit from using DMA-66?
Hi, From: Stephan Hachinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: no merit from using DMA-66? Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2000 22:06:49 +0100 Hello! That has something to do with your hard disk cache. Because, when the data requested by the PC happens to be in the internal cache (typically 512k-2megs), it can be transferrred to the mainboard at full bus speed rate! That's an improvement of UDMA! And, the interfaces are always a little bit faster, then the disks are getting faster, and then they make a new interface standard again. That's how it always is, because, it is better to not to have problems with a slow interface. Thanks for the explanation. I really learn something here :-) So, either your benchmark doesn't manage to switch off the cache for its measure or it only shows you the highest bus speed rate. But, 33MB/66MB is definitely not a data rate any recent IDE HDD can achieve. I have tried asking around on japanese debian-user list and there is a person said he got 25MB/sec DTR on IBM harddisk from the test with hdparm. Moreover from hdparm manpage about -t option: This displays the speed of reading through the buffer cache to the disk without any prior caching of data. This measurement is an indication of how fast the drive can sustain sequential data reads so I guess the DTR is measured with the cache on. This should give some better DTR over DMA-33 harddisk, if I got it right? Best regards, Vachi - Vachirasuk Setalaphruk ISE, Osaka University

The problem I have is hdc lost interrupt (I install mine on ide1=0x180,0x386). I can get the machine to cooperate a bit better by turning off PnP and turning off the secondary ide controller in BIOS (F2 at sony screen). However, as soon as I attempt a mount command I again get hdc lost interrupt. My PCMCIA modem card works fine though (The modem part anyway, I've yet to try it connected to a network - DLink 560TX). I'm running SuSE 6.3 until I can find a way around the problem (I also have the problem with SuSE - although it is hde like yours - but at least with SuSE I can install enough packages to have a functional computer before it craps out).

Up to now, I always tested my hds with Dr. Hardware for DOS ;-) or with some Windoze software, which also could switch on or switch off the cache due to user request. But the results with caching are not significant anyway in my opinion, because it is important, at what speed the drive can read permanently (at least for my applications, I think, other people might have other opinions...).

Re: installing QT-1.44 w/ problems
Hello! Yes, I suggest to you deleting your files and installing a package instead. The package URL is: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386/libs/qt1g_1.40 -1.1.deb and for the development/header files (if you want to compile KDE for example): ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386/devel/qt1g-dev _1.40-1.1.deb and for the docs: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386/devel/qt-doc_1 .40-1.1.deb It's only ver 1.40 but should also work.
