Xdm: con instalar no basta, hay que frotarrr!

2000-03-20 Thread Cosme P. Cuevas
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.

Re: La última sobre impresión.

2000-03-20 Thread Cosme P. Cuevas
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. Yo
 creía  que era  con  adduser pero  claro,  /dev/lp0 no  es
 ningún grupo. ¿Cómo se hace?

$ ls -l /dev/lp0
crw-rw1 root lp 6,   0 Apr  4  1999 /dev/lp0
 /^\
  |
  |___ este es 
el grupo.


Pero,

$ id
uid=1000(cosme) gid=1000(cosme) 
groups=1000(cosme),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip)


No  hace  falta  pertenecer  a ese  grupo  para  imprimir  com
usuario. Yo uso el paquete `lprng', que trae un binario,

$ man checkpc | col -b | head -n 25

CHECKPC(8)   CHECKPC(8)


NAME
   checkpc - check out the /etc/printcap database

SYNOPSIS
   checkpc  [ -aflrCPV ] [ -c configfile ] [ -A age[DHMS] ] [
   -D debug ] [ -p printcap ] [ -c config ] [ printcap ]

DESCRIPTION
   Checkpc is used to check for  the  existence  and  correct
   permissions  of  entries in the printcap database.  It is
   useful when installing a new printcap database and  clean­
   ing up existing printer spoolers.

   -a   Do  not create accounting files if the fix option has
been specified.

   -c configfile
Read the configuration from configfile.


A ver si te ayuda.

Ayuda con dpkg

2000-03-20 Thread José Plaza
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.

2000-03-20 Thread David Charro Ripa
 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.

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

Re: Problemas al compilar

2000-03-20 Thread David Charro Ripa
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.

/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,

kde

2000-03-20 Thread Beavis



i am trying to load a deb form of kde

i can't get the apt-get tp point to the right 
directory
this is what i am trying to do:

These Debian packages should be apt-get'abl using 
the following/etc/apt/sources.list template. Please note you will need 
toverify the path.

deb ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/packages/debian/potato 
binary-i386/

where ftp.kde.org 
is your kde ftp mirror and /pub/kde/stable/packages/debian/potato is the 
path to the /potato directory(or /slink) for the 1.1.2 KDE tree

Basically you want to point to the directory below 
the binary-xxx dirs foryour distribution. (ie slink or 
potato)

(I don't know if KDE uses main contrib and non-free, you should verify

Re: Free Internet... ?

2000-03-20 Thread Antonio Rodriguez
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.

Best way to start eth0 without address

2000-03-20 Thread Marshal Kar-Cheung Wong
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

Re: XF86Config per user?

2000-03-20 Thread Oswald Buddenhagen
 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).

Re: (not)lame batch job

2000-03-20 Thread Oswald Buddenhagen
 What I can't get done with (not)lame is batch jobs. Bladeenc simply names
 the mp3 after the original file, changing wav to mp3. You can type
 $bladeenc *.wav and all the wav files in the directory get encoded. How can
 you do this with (not)lame, as it requires both input and output name? --hans
 

for i in *.wav; do lame -h $i; done

lame will append a .mp3 to every file, so the files will have the name
.wav.mp3. to avoid this use:

for i in *.wav; do lame -h $i ${i%.wav}.mp3; done

btw: the most recent version of lame i know of is 3.51

2000-03-20 Thread Oswald Buddenhagen
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,

I'm getting continuous filesystem checks lately, and some filesystem
inconsistencies have generated, after running fsck, some files in the

these files (like #10062), which the system cannot remove.

Just a while ago I booted the system, and after a fsck I got the
following message:

 INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation! giving up..

and the booting procedure stopped there, forcing a manual reboot which
was successful only after yet another fsck.

Last chance: unresolved symbols and depmod weirdness

2000-03-20 Thread Jonathan Markevich
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...  It's getting so blowing the thing away and
reinstalling takes less time and frustration.

Help!

Re: Unresolved symbols potato and kernel 2.0.36

2000-03-20 Thread Jonathan Markevich
 Don't upgrade unless you have to.  I always have to remind myself of that
 - if my machine is working and I can do the tasks I need to do, even
 though there is a new fangled a super-cool version of my software, I don't
 have to install it.  I still need to remind myself.

It's not just super-cool versions, it's thing like UDMA support for my
drive.  It's so I can hook up a parallel port zip drive to the thing.  Wine
that will run the programs I need, and so on.
 
 First, is sounds to me like you are using stock debian kernels.  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

 kernel is a good idea (you learn a lot about your computer and about

 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

I don't think this is a modules thing, it's a kernel thing (very slight

Re: Last chance: unresolved symbols and depmod weirdness

2000-03-20 Thread Oswald Buddenhagen
 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.

just an idea: did you a make dep clean before make install etc. when
making the kernel?

and why depmod makes such weird things ... 
run rm /lib/modules/2.0.36/modules.dep - possibly it's write-protected
or such thing.

your question, why all the geniuses are silent: we don't have your system
in front of us. give a root login to somebody you trust and your problem
will probably be fixed within minutes. we (mostly) are no clairvoyants.

Re: Unresolved symbols potato and kernel 2.0.36

2000-03-20 Thread Antonio Fiol Bonnín
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.)

Good luck!

 as somebody already mentioned before me, only one type of logitech-mice

 which is (was(?)) not supported. the so-called bulk-version might work

 there is a reference to a nice page about wheel-mice in the

 however - X has (had(?)) the problem with the zilog chips, too. but
 possibly this has been fixed.

Re: INIT PANIC

2000-03-20 Thread Oswald Buddenhagen
 I'm getting continuous filesystem checks lately, and some filesystem
 inconsistencies have generated, after running fsck, some files in the
 various lost+found/ directories, especially in /var, which has lots of
 these files (like #10062), which the system cannot remove.
 
 Just a while ago I booted the system, and after a fsck I got the
 following message:
 
  INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation! giving up..
 
 and the booting procedure stopped there, forcing a manual reboot which
 was successful only after yet another fsck.
 
 Can anyone tell me what's going on?  (Please, send me a Cc: of your
 answer).
 
bad trouble is going on ...
make a surface-check of your hdd to see if it's a hardware failure.
have you run another operating system, that might have messed up you linux
install?
crashed your system before these problems started?
the panic is probably caused by a destroyed kernel-image, init-executable
or some vital configuration file (e.g., /etc/inittab).

 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

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 !

Hope not, the hd is a few months old (new).

Uh, yes... and not.  I have OpenBSD installed, but on a second hd, not

from OpenBSD several times, and done a bit of copying and moving.

hda (where Debian is installed) has different partitions, and /var,
/home, /usr, /usr/local, /opt, /usr/doc, /tmp are on partitions of their
own.  The partition I've messed up most from OpenBSD is /alt (a
partition of my own where I keep from source files to binaries and
documents.

BTW, the fs I usually get more trouble with (fsck inconsistencies) is
/var.

 crashed your system before these problems started?

NO.  I used to have problems with the X Window System, but these have
not happened since I added more RAM to the machine.  X used to hang at
exit every now and then.  The hang was usually a vertical stripped
colour screen, and the keyboard wouldn't work, so I had to do manual
reboots.  But as I said, this hasn't happened since I have 128MB RAM
(used to have 64MB).

 the panic is probably caused by a destroyed kernel-image, init-executable
 or some vital configuration file (e.g., /etc/inittab).

I've tried a couple of reboots, and everything seems to be working fine
now (everything except the ../lost+found/#10 files which still are
there and the system cannot clean when starting).  But I expect some
more trouble as these problems don't usually go away on their own :(

  or some vital configuration file (e.g., /etc/inittab).
 
 I've tried a couple of reboots, and everything seems to be working fine
 now (everything except the ../lost+found/#10 files which still are
 there and the system cannot clean when starting).  But I expect some
 more trouble as these problems don't usually go away on their own :(
 
if everything seems to be ok now and no new problems arise, then you
should not worry _too_ much. possibly you should check all the
config-files in /var if anything seems to work not as expected.
look, if you find something useful in lost+found - these are orphaned
i-nodes, etc.
a thread about undeletable files we had already some days ago. the point
is, that these files have the ext2-attribute immutable (or something
like that) set. you need the ext2-tools (no idea, how the package is
named) to remove them.

if the disaster was neither caused by hardware failure nor by external
impact nor by crash, then a question arises (guess which ;-) ) ...
which kernel are you using? i heard some ugly things about 2.2.13 ...
another weird idea: the sync(8) man-page states, that sync only schedules
the syncing, but does not wait for it to complete. possibly the shutdown
script does not leave enough time to flush all buffers before it
halts/reboots.

Realplayer on Thinkpad 390E

2000-03-20 Thread Bryan Walton
Greetings all,
I have a Thinkpad 390E running frozen and am having a problem with
my RealPlayer.  Sound works fine on my laptop.  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!
Bryan

DNS/resolver trouble

2000-03-20 Thread Gary Hennigan
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.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Gary

Although this is the way it's done generically, there's a better

can install/remove/purge kernels with dpkg.  It will handle all

Re: gpm config for Logitech MouseMan+ PS/2

  I imagine that I have one of those mice that are not 'boxed', as I bought
  it with the computer. My config is just like yours for X, and the
  difference between your config for gpm and mine should be inexistent... I
  tried everything...
  
 boxed versions are a) really boxed (i.e., in a box, mine was green) and
 have b) a coloured logitech-logo on top.
 you probably have a oem-version, since it was packaged with the pc.
 
  I'll have to wait until someone develops support for my mouse :(
  
 this is one possibility ...
 
 here is how i did it: when i discovered, that i had a non-working
 bulk-version, i simply gone to the store i bought it, gave it back and
 bought a working mouse in another store. they were quite
 cooperative. hope, you have a nice vendor. :-)

That's a good one... I hope they don't tell me it's too late ;)

I believe you've found the problem. I printed to a file instead of to a

at a brief lookover it looks like a valid poastscript file). I got the same

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

Re: Free Internet... ? Why 14 mb?

versions of IE with their logos in place of the spinning 'e' and other

Re: no merit from using DMA-66?

2000-03-20 Thread Vachirasuk
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

 Loading modules: eepro100 Note:/etc/modules.conf
 is more recent than /lin/modules/2.2.14/modules.dep
this can be solved by running depmod

 modprobe: insmod * failed
... due to failed dependencies (i guess). no idea, which ones.

 Should this error message be ignored?  Thanks
 for your comment.
ignoring is not a good idea. but if there is no other way ...

Does anyone have any info on getting the sony cd51 pcmcia cd player to work

I am using the sony vaio n505ve

I myself am having a bit of trouble getting the CD-ROM to work on a 505VE.
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).

 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?


Don't know, but if it's really a test with caching, it will probably really
give back higher data rates. 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

2000-03-20 Thread Stephan Hachinger
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.

Kind Regards,

Stephan Hachinger

Hello!

The development (dev) packages! I don't know exactly which one, but you'll
see. But there are also .debs for KDE 1.1.1 out there. Take a look at
www.kde.org!

checking for Xconfigure: error: Can't find X includes. PLease check your
installation and add the correct paths!

i have x loaded w/ xmaker and blackbox, what package am i missing?


2.5 Compiling from Source Code
Generic source gzipped tarballs can be also be downloaded from the
FTP Site if you would like to compile KDE on your own. New users should
consider sticking to one of the prebuilt binary pacakges.

To unpack the tarballs use the command:
tar xvzf .tar.gz

Change to the directory in which the files were unpacked:
cd
Configure the package with:
./configure
