Eso si, ponte a instalar y desinstalar paquetes y estás apanyao. Si lo haces, asegurate de quitar todos los daemons que no hacen falta y de hacer un kernel a medida, con lo minimo para que sea usable. Usar ash en vez de bash es otra idea. Gracias. De res.

Barra de botones de wmaker
¿Sabe alguien si hay alguna manera de que al pulsar uno de los botones de la barra del wmaker, me salga otra barra de botones y en horizontal? Lo pregunto porque en la barra de botones del AfterStep de la RedHat 5 o 5.x me suena haberlo visto. Y la verdad, como a 800x600 el wmaker no me da para meterle muchos botones pues me gustaría poder hacerlo. Gracias de antemano.
RE: Barra de botones de wmaker
Me parece que el clip se puede expander-contraer con alguna de sus opciones, y haciendo doble-click sobre él. Puede que con eso te apañes.

RE: Me temo que mi mfdem es un winmfdem :o(
mira a ver si tiene algún tipo de chip rockwell, si lo tiene no es winmodem. Creo que sí que lo tiene, aunque como ya está instalado ha sido un poco difícil de ver :o) De todas formas es un poco raro porque si abro algunos de los ficheros .INF que vienen con los drivers de mi módem, allí pone Rockwell SoftK56 PCI Modem. Pero si abro la parte del módem en el panel de control de la configuración de windows, pone Conexant SoftK56 Data,Fax,Speakerphone PCI Modem. Pero incluso al abrir el Readme.txt en el que se explica como instalar los drivers para windows, pone otra cosa diferente: Cobra Modem. ¿Quizá eso de Cobra sea un tipo concreto de módem dentro de los Rockwell... ? No sé, no tengo ni idea. Pero sí que he leído que si hay chip Rockwell, quizá funcione si se le deshabilita la corrección de errores. ¿Es verdad? Voy a probar ahora a ver. De todas formas es interno y en la tienda me dijeron que casi seguro que sea winmódem pq el tío cree que todos los que han vendido allí sólo son para windows. Aunque no sé si tendrá mucha idea de eso del chip Rockwell. Muchas gracias. Emilio.

Lo pregunto porque en la barra de botones del AfterStep de la RedHat 5 5.x me suena haberlo visto. El afterstep permite hacer eso pero el wmaker no; el wmaker tiene muchas otras opciones para compenzar esa falta. Por ejemplo, como ya te ha dicho Javier, el clip (que normalmente aparece en la esquina superior izquierda) se puede expander/contraer por medio de un doble-click. También puedes poner el clip en cualquier lugar de la pantalla y rodearlo de botones por donde quieras. Como el clip es mucho mas flexible que el dock yo he eliminado totalmente el dock (con una opción de configuración) y uso el clip al lado derecho, como si fuera el dock. Y la verdad, como a 800x600 el wmaker no me da para meterle muchos botones Yo también uso 800x600 y tengo muchísimos botones. Los he distribuido en 5 Workspaces diferentes: en un workspace tengo todo lo relacionado con gráficas, en otro todo lo de correo/html, etc. Los botones se pueden configurar facilmente (botón derecho del ratón) para que aparezcan en un determinado workspace o en todos. saludos, Jaime

Re: Xdm: con instalar no basta, hay que frotarrr!
El Mon, Mar 20, 2000, Enzo A. Dari... 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 . Solucionado. El script de inicialización de `xdm' llama a parse-xf86config(1) y este es muy puñetero con la sintaxis de `XF86Config'. Gracias Enzo por ponerme en la pista con tus comentarios. Aunque me gustaría afinar la configuración, porque para darle acceso al terminal he modificado `/etc/xdm/Xacces' así: * #any host can get a login window que me parece la forma menos segura de hacerlo, pero es que no me aclaro con la sintaxis de ese archivo, y la única forma de conseguir acceso ha sido así. El HOWTO `Remote-X-Apps' me ha sido de ayuda pero no me he aclarado del todo. ¿Al usar `xdm' éste ya se encarga de todo y no hace falta el paso de `xauth'? El xdm se fija en su configuración (en el archivo: /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers) y si encuentra una línea que diga algo parecido a: :0 local /usr/bin/X11/X vt7 intenta arrancar el server local (previa verificación de que tenga una configuración válida de Xfree86 en el archivo: /etc/X11/XF86Config). Sí, eso está bien. En tu caso puede que no necesites el xserver en el servidor, ya que pretendes usar el x-server de la otra máquina. En tal caso puedes borrar esa línea del /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. No me expliqué bien. Yo lanzo el server en el ordenador principal, y quiero que el secundario pueda acceder a las X también, sin necesidad de correr el sistema en su máquina (486 + 16Mb). De momento tengo en el terminal la posibilidad de trabajar con WMaker+Comunicator+rxvt... con 16Mb de RAM y no tira de la swap (local) El principal tiene 128 Mb. Ahora, por ejemplo, tengo: Server: - WMaker+Comunicator+3 rxvt+Emacs Terminal: - WMaker+Comunicator.

Re: Distribucion pequeña para ordenador muy antiguo.
El Tue, Mar 21, 2000,
Conrado Badenas...
Aunque, me parece que como no lo instale a través de
un cable serie-serie, lo veo muy dificil, porque ese
portatil solo tiene disquetera
es capaz de leer disquetes a 1.44 Mb entonces deberás
generar diez disquetes...
Una vez que tengas instalado y configurado el sistema base,
puedes continuar la instalación del resto de paquetes que
quieres que formen tu sistema operativo por Internet...
Quizás se pueda ahorrar el sistema Base. Yo hace 2 días que
he instalado Debian en un 486 via red ethernet. Y a lo mejor
via cable serie aceptaría un proceso equivalente.
Lo que hice fue arrancar con el rescue de Hamm (el que tenía a
mano, ya había puesto la disquetera del ordenador principal en
el 486...), particionar/iniciar/configurar, y entonces cargar
los drivers con su disquete correspondiente y configurar los
módulos necesarios, en mi caso para poder utilizar la red
ethernet, en el tuyo los que toquen, habrá que trastear un
poco, O:-)
Cuando te lo pida, configuras la red como si tuvieras.
conexión permanente. Mira más abajo para saber las IPs que
colocar. Unos documentos:
http://www.ctv.es/USERS/sromero/linux/redserie.html
Y Algún HOWTO:
http://lucas.hispalinux.es/COMO-INSFLUG/COMOs/Redes-En-Linux-Como/Redes-En-Linux-Como.html
Yo creo que para `dselect' _necesitas_ trabajar como red,
pero para configurarlo como terminal serie tienes más
información:
http://www.ctv.es/USERS/sromero/linux/terminal.html
http://lucas.hispalinux.es/COMO-INSFLUG/COMOs/Serie-Como/Serie-Como.html

http://lucas.hispalinux.es/COMO-INSFLUG/COMOs/Linux-Sin-Disco-Duro-Como/Linux-Sin-Disco-Duro-Como.html
El caso es que el resto de la instalación me ha entrado por la
tarjeta de 10Mbits/s, y no por el disquete, :-)
No hay que olvidar configurar los daemons correspondientes en
el ordenador principal.
Configuras la red del ordenador principal. Necesitarás
seguramente recompilar el kernel. Además:
$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.5.1 shevek.anarres.net shevek
192.168.5.2 takver.anarres.net takver
$ cat /etc/networks
localnet 192.168.5.0
$ cat /etc/hostname
shevek
$ cat /etc/init.d/network
#! /bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
#route add -net 127.0.0.0 -- NO en núcleos 2.2.x
IPADDR=192.168.5.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.5.0
BROADCAST=192.168.5.255
GATEWAY=-- fíjate en esto para cuando la instalación del 386 te
pregunte.
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
#route add -net ${NETWORK}
[ ${GATEWAY} ] route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
Descomenta los `route' para kernels 2.0.x.
Ten presente las configuraciones del MTA y el servidor de
news, entre otros, si has cambiado nombres.
Necesitas el paquete `nfs-server' para que el 386 pueda montar
el CD con la distribución. Y se ponen estas líneas en
`/etc/inetd.conf'
nfs/2 dgram rpc/udp wait root /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd rpc.nfsd
nfs/2 stream rpc/tcp wait root /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd rpc.nfsd
$ cat /etc/exports
# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
# to NFS clients. See exports(5).
/cdtabulador(ro,insecure,all_squash,no_root_squash)
/var/spool/backup/updates (ro,insecure,all_squash,no_root_squash)
/tmp(ro,insecure,all_squash,no_root_squash)
/etc(ro,insecure,all_squash,no_root_squash)
/a (ro,insecure,all_squash,no_root_squash)
Necesitas, lógicamente, `telnetd/telnet' (o ssh) para
`servidor/terminal'. Tampocoes malaidea instalar
`telnetd/ssh' en el 386 por si algún día se cuelga y pierdes
la posibilidad de matar el proceso malicioso.
En `/etc/inetd.conf' yo tengo esto:
telnet stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd
Y habrá que darle acceso a `root' a conectarse desde terminal:
$ cat /etc/securrety
# /etc/securetty: list of terminals on which root is allowed to login.
# See securetty(5) and login(1).
tty1
tty2
tty3
tty4
tty5
tty6
ttyp0
ttyp1
ttyp2
ttyp3
ttyp4
ttyp5
ttyp6
ttyp7
ttyp8
ttyp8
ttyp10
Volviendo a la instalación, después de reiniciar el sistema y
entrar en `dselect', se selecciona el método de acceso: `nfs'
Te pide la IP del servidor (la conoces) y el pathname, que
no será otro que el directorio donde montes (previamente) el
CDROM.
Después el directorio que contiene el Packages, esto ya como
en el caso habitual...
Una vez acabé la instalación, actualice via `nfs' y `apt' a
Slink, :-)
# mount -t nfs shevek:/cd /cdrom
En el /etc/apt/sources.list
deb file:/cdrom stable main contrib non-free non-US
# apt-get updates
# apt-get dist-upgrade
Y a partir de este momento, ya está, ¿no?
Las actualizaciones via Internet/cdrom para el principal y
para el 386 via

El resto de los programas bajo X-windows son clientes X-windows, para dibujar algo en pantalla se lo piden al servidor, que es quien sabe como hacerlo. Esta petición puede viajar a través de una red, de manera que puedes ejecutar el programa cliente en una máquina y verlo en otra. Entre estos programas clientes está, en particular el window manager.

Re: CARGAR MODULOS
Creo que no tienes ningún problema con el módulo de la tarjeta de sonido: los mensajes que te da se refieren a los módulos de sistemas de ficheros, a la red, a driver para controladora SCSI, el disquete (¡ojo!, aunque seguramente lo hayas incluido directamente en el núcleo), al soporte para ipv6 y algunas cosas más. Al compilar el núcleo seguramente has incluido directamente el soporte para algunos dispositivos (floppy, puerto de impresora y puertos serie) y hayas eliminado lo que no necesites (soporte PCMCIA por ejemplo). Identifica estos módulos que ya no usas (la lista que has enviado te es suficiente) y bórralos de /etc/modules.

Linux Alianza Ofrece Sitios Gratuitos a los Grupos de Usuarios Linux en Latinoamérica
Marzo 22, 2000 - Linux Alianza anunció hoy un servicio de proveer sitios gratuitos para los Grupos de Usuarios de Linux en toda Latinoamérica. Linux Alianza registró 18 nombres de dominio Linux para el uso de Grupos de Usuarios de habla española: LinuxMexico.org LinuxGuatemala.org LinuxHonduras.org LinuxElSalvador.org LinuxNicaragua.org LinuxCostaRica.org LinuxPanama.org LinuxColombia.org LinuxVenezuela.org LinuxEcuador.org LinuxUruguay.org LinuxChile.org LinuxArgentina.org LinuxBolivia.org LinuxParaguay.org LinuxCuba.org LinuxRepublicaDominicana.org LinuxPuertoRico.org Como LinuxBrasil.org y LinuxPeru.org ya son mantenidos por Grupos de Usuarios en sus respectivos países, esto unifica el espacio de nombres de dominio para Grupos de Usuarios de Linux en toda Latinoamérica. Estos nuevos sitios también estarán disponibles a través del multi-sitio de Linux Alianza, A HREF=http://LinuxUsuarios.com;LinuxUsuarios.com/A. Todos los Grupos de Usuarios de Linux en estos países están invitados a aprovechar de los recursos gratuitos que ofrecen estos sitios. Los GULs existentes también pueden registrarse en http://LinuxUsuarios.com para que sea mucho más sencillo localizarlos. La ruta más rápida hacia el Dominio Mundial de Linux es a través del apoyo comercial de las actividades de la comunidad, explica Mike Anderson, Gerente General y CTO de Linux Alianza, muchos Grupos de Usuarios de Linux en Latinoamérica carecen de recursos o del acceso para poder crear su propio sitio web. Además, los nombre de los dominios de sus sitios son generalmente no muy claros o no relacionados con Linux - esta agrupación de dominios hará muy fácil el ser encontrado. Acerca de Linux Alianza: Linux Alianza es una alianza de sitios de Linux, completamente en Español (los sitios en Portugués Brasileño estarán en línea el 15 de Abril) los cuales promueven Linux en Latinoamérica a través de su concepto Comunidad y Comercio. El multi-sitio, ingresado a A HREF=http://LinuxFiesta.com;LinuxFiesta.com/A, incluye centros comerciales para negocios Linux además de toda la información, recursos y áreas de servicio normalmente encontradas en los sitios de Linux. Linux Alianza lanzó su multi-sitio el 17 de Febrero.

It's getting so blowing the thing away and reinstalling takes less time and frustration. The depmod weirdness is a bug in the initscripts.

Re: Star Office
Well, I did not really experience exactly the same thing, but I have well tested that StarCalc has some bugs when managing memory. The more time you work with it, the more it grows in memory. A lot to do with the UNDO routines, I'm afraid. So... you can *try reducing* the number of steps you want to be able to undo to one or two, if possible. (For me, 5 was working reasonably well, 8 is far too much). Anyway, it all depends on your sheet. Just a question: Does it last the same time the first time it recalculates than the nth time? (For me, it was getting worse the more I worked. Closing StarOffice and reopening 'solved' it, but closing the document was not enough.) You can observe this behaviour by launching top and observing the sizes. I tried to send a message to Sun, but I did not manage to find the right address to do so. Also, StarImpress has another bug, concerning animation of texts: If you try to move more than one text object on the same slide, it hangs when showing the slide in presentation mode, even though preview was fine. Good little remarkable point for StarImpress: It supports animated GIFs, which are not supported by... you know who. Antonio Fiol I was wondering if anyone out there has had the same problem I have with StarCalc. In my work I routinely do data analysis on hundreds of thousands of data points. Normally, I use Excel on Win98 to do this but recently I grew frustrated with Windows with all its bugs and crashes and reboots on a daily basis. I decided to try using Linux based on it's reputation for stability and installed Corel and then subsequently Debian as a separate partition in the same box. When I try to run one of the standard data analysis routines I use with Excel/Win98 it takes literally seconds to draw a graph. If I try to do the same thing with StarCalc the cpu grinds away for minutes at nearly 100% usage and eventually the job crashes the system altogether. Does this sound familiar to anyone? The box is a 400MHz Pentium II, 64MB RAM, 1GB Linux partition Brendan

Limping and bleeding with Corel Linux
Hi there,
My brief? story: I am (was?) a windowman (meaning a mouseman
-computer (almost) illiterate). Got sick and tired of being called
basically a criminal, by my Laptop using Windows, with messages such as
illegal operation. Bought Corel Linux based on Debian. After spending
a month trying to figure out how to install this thing (luckily, I was
really sick with a bad case of cold), found out that I can not install
it on my laptop. Turned to my sons old PC NEC Ready 60, and gave it a
new name:
This will be my MLINUX machine (mean linux machine). After a nightmare
and at least (35 installations or attempts) that lasted several weeks
this is where I am: I installed one copy of linux to my C: drive and one
to my D: drive. The idea was that if I manage to get one crashed I will
simply use the other one, (maybe try to fix the first one with it -
remember I do not really know a lot?) My principal copy was on C: drive.
My backup is on D: drive. I got them both running reasonable well. I
had only one problem left: RAM. I have 104M, and machine thought I had
64M. This is where append=mem=104M in etc/lilo.conf became an option
to try. Last time I tried it I got a bad crash from which could not
recover. (That was what gave me the idea of the two copies). This time I
tried it on my backup copy. It did work as far as RAM but boy am I in
a mess now. I can not get my C: copy to run. D: copy I can barely get to
too. It is now for some reason my first suggested choice and my C:
copy is linux a2 in the lilo window. When I try to run a2 all I get is a
flashing - cursor. Pressing ctrl alt del gets me back to lilo window.
Choosing Linux everything goes well until Checking file system ,
then I get some text scrolling. The text has a black line horizontally
across it. Them I get a message that fsck failed fix manually or press
ctrl D to resume (you guess which one I choose?). ctrl D gets me to
workable copy on my D: drive from where I am sending this SOS message.
On my laptop I have windows 98 and I am still resisting to go there.
With all the trouble I went through (and all I still probably will go
through) I am becoming more and more attached to linux, as I slowly
learn its intricacies. But a thought went through my mind. Linux is
supposed to be a free software. Is Debian really free? Is it free if
only programming elite can use it? Or are we mousemen really retarded
now after prolonged use of windows? Attached are my messy etc/lilo.conf
files. One with root at dev/hda2 is my C: copy. Please help. I do not
dare to do anything on my own anymore. If any debian expert lives in
Toronto area I am willing to pay him to get my mlinux machine in a
perfect order. Thank you for help. Val.boot=/dev/hda

Re: ssh loading at startup

Is there a specific reason why this doesn't happen dynamically? Thanks for the help You rarely have to reboot in Linux, but you often have to restart processes. It's not really something that can be fixed; each process (say, each shell) keeps its own list of the groups to which it belongs. To change these dynamically, you'd have to have useradd invade every other process and change its list of groups. When you consider that processes owned by any given user can take on new supplementary groups using things like newgrp, or even potentially have a completely different set of groups if they're invoked by something setgid, this is a very difficult problem, and violates expected inter-process protection something horrific. (Although useradd has root privileges, admittedly.) Basically, don't go there. :) I'd be amazed if it were possible to do this cleanly. Don't start thinking you need to reboot, but do expect to have to restart processes sometimes when something major affects them. It's usually not too much of a problem. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Bug#60891: xdm: Installs default tty7 line in Xservers -- break s system
Note to the other two maintainers. Branden has closed the bug I submitted. Based on the information he provided to me in his message I feel that you also should close the bugs I submitted against gdm and wdm. They should possibly be re-submitted at a lesser severity, but not as critical. Please read my message below and determine for yourself. Branden, I've just subscribed to debian-users and have yet to get any messages after my confirmation. Please feel free to forward this if my CC dosn't go through. Hmm, Just re-read my bug-report message. Used too much cut/paste to post the three reports. As stated in the final paragraph, I do NOT have xdm installed right now, I have wdm. So I relied on the fact that all 3 packages defaulted to tty7 and that it is applied by the wdm.postinst script... ---snip--- #! /bin/sh -e # # WDM postinst. # # (C) 1998, 1999 Marcelo Magallon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wdm_config_file=/etc/X11/wdm/wdm-config wdm_Xsession=/etc/X11/wdm/Xsession common_Xsession=/etc/X11/Xsession wdm_Xservers=/etc/X11/wdm/Xservers xdm_Xservers=/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers default_local_server=:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X vt7 ---snip--- Also, in three paragraphs I used *6* all-caps words. Hardly throwing them around gratuitously. (you used ~90 in 12 paragraphs). At least you did say I was good at describing the problem, that was my intent all along. As for the fact that the postinst scripts are sure to leave prior config files intact -- that hardly applies when I've not installed the package previously or if I have purged a package not planning to use it again. I am on a single, non-networked, machine in a home environment with multiple users. As we trust each other, we often leave a tty open and logged in. Therefore, early on I adjusted my inittab to run a getty on tty1 through tty10. I pipe some of syslogs output to tty11 and have used tty12 for X for quite a while. If there are others in a similar situation who decide to install one of these packages it will cause similar problems. I did ask on openprojects IRC #debian several days running to see if anyone else had experienced this problem. There were several suggestions relating to using (or not) xkb and a few other things I can't recall now. But only ONE person suggested checking that particular config file to see if it was trying to start on a tty with a getty running. To be honest, I am not a programmer of any sort. I can hack together shell scripts to do things I need if I really have to, but that's about it. When the problem exhibited itself I did not even consider checking the X FAQ. I had no problem at all with X, it worked just fine using 'startx' and has for quite some time. My problem was with all 3 display managers. Checking the FAQ for the X-window system itself did not occur to me, and I don't think it will to new users either. I personally still think it is a bug though I have NO idea how to work around it. The default installation causes some systems to require a hard reset into single mode in order to correct the problem. In my mind that makes it a critical bug -- but since it will most likely affect very few systems it could probably be argued that it is a level 1 bug, or with the difficulty of fixing it, it could even be a level 0 bug. In the future, however, I will make an attempt to strike up a dialog with the maintainer of a package to help determine if I should submit a bug report. I believe debian's goal is to create a system usable by most. Such a system must somehow account for some unexpected setups. I submitted a non-critical bug in a couple of -doc packages that Manoj Srivastava maintains. The ONLY cause for the installs to break was my horrid drive partitioning that had left me with too little room on /usr. I had the /usr/doc and /usr/share/doc directories symlinked in from elsewhere and that broke the postinst quite thoroughly. He fixed the problem on his end and I also found a way to back up and re-partition my drives properly. I did not feel my bug report was impolite or condescending. I was merely trying to clearly describe what had happened to me and could, conceivably, happen to other first time users of the display manager packages. As far as not 'assigning a bug critical severity', when I run 'bug' it asks me to give a one line description, then asks me to 'assign a severity' based on the descriptions it gives. I chose critical because it caused the 'whole system' to break and require a hard reset: 4) Critical bug. Makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a security hole on systems where you install the package. I think that having the '*dm' packages not start on install if no prior in stallation is detected and post a *notice* on screen describing the need to correct the Xservers (or gdm.conf) file would be enough to mostly guarantee that this wouldn't happen.

Got sick and tired of being called basically a criminal, by my Laptop using Windows, with messages such as I have Debian running on a laptop; I can't speak for the Corel version, though. illegal operation. Bought Corel Linux based on Debian. After spending a month trying to figure out how to install this thing (luckily, I was really sick with a bad case of cold), found out that I can not install it on my laptop. Turned to my sons old PC NEC Ready 60, and gave it a new name: This will be my MLINUX machine (mean linux machine). After a nightmare and at least (35 installations or attempts) that lasted several weeks this is where I am: I installed one copy of linux to my C: drive and one to my D: drive. The idea was that if I manage to get one crashed I will simply use the other one, (maybe try to fix the first one with it - remember I do not really know a lot?) My principal copy was on C: drive. My backup is on D: drive. I got them both running reasonable well. I had only one problem left: RAM. I have 104M, and machine thought I had 64M. This is where append=mem=104M in etc/lilo.conf became an option to try. Last time I tried it I got a bad crash from which could not recover. (That was what gave me the idea of the two copies). This time I I do not think this could crash your system, unless you told it too much (104Mb is a very strange number for memory). tried it on my backup copy. It did work as far as RAM but boy am I in a mess now. I can not get my C: copy to run. D: copy I can barely get to too. It is now for some reason my first suggested choice and my C: copy is linux a2 in the lilo window. When I try to run a2 all I get is a flashing - cursor. Pressing ctrl alt del gets me back to lilo window. What messages do you see before that? How far does the boot process get? Choosing Linux everything goes well until Checking file system , then I get some text scrolling. The text has a black line horizontally across it. Them I get a message that fsck failed fix manually or press ctrl D to resume (you guess which one I choose?). ctrl D gets me to You MUST fix this. If fsck is reporting errors, it means your filesystem is corrupt. Doing anything more with it is likely to corrupt it much much worse. [The most frequent cause of filesystem corruption is turning the machine off without a proper shutdown.] The command is `fsck -y /dev/hdb2'. The -y option means that fsck will fix everything without asking you; in your state of knowledge (and mine), this is the only reasonable option. (If you have any other partitions, you may also need to run fsck on them.) Depending on the extent of the damage, you may end up with a fixed system; there may be files in /_your_partition_/lost+found; or you may have to give up and reinstall. workable copy on my D: drive from where I am sending this SOS message. On my laptop I have windows 98 and I am still resisting to go there. With all the trouble I went through (and all I still probably will go through) I am becoming more and more attached to linux, as I slowly learn its intricacies. But a thought went through my mind. Linux is supposed to be a free software. Is Debian really free? Is it free if You have to learn skills to use anything. A computer is incredibly complex and few of us get anywhere near learning all about it, but the more we learn, the more we can do. When you get past this problem, you will be a lot more capable than when you only knew Windows. only programming elite can use it? Or are we mousemen really retarded now after prolonged use of windows? Attached are my messy etc/lilo.conf files. One with root at dev/hda2 is my C: copy. Please help. I do not dare to do anything on my own anymore. If any debian expert lives in Toronto area I am willing to pay him to get my mlinux machine in a perfect order. Thank you for help. Val. I'm too far away for that! How much of these lilo files are your own work and how much is Corel? The labels seem very strange; apart from that, I don't see anything particularly odd (except the number 104M - how do you get that? 64Mb + 32Mb +8Mb? - are you sure those memory bits are all compatible?). For comparison, here is my /etc/lilo.conf: boot=/dev/hda3 root=/dev/hda3 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal delay=20 # Linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14 label=Linux append=mem=128m aic7xxx=ultra parport=auto read-only # Linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.13 label=Linux-old append=mem=128m aic7xxx=ultra parport=auto read-only # Windows 95 other=/dev/hda1 label=Win95

Re: Unresolved symbols potato and kernel 2.0.36
On Mon, Mar 20, 2000 at 04:29:21PM +, David Wright wrote: Out of everyone that got and read my message, you're the *only* one that took offense. Well, that responded anyways. It seems most realized what I said was extreme frustration and not a personal attack. Please accept my messages in that light. First, is sounds to me like you are using stock debian kernels. I don't 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 don't know why I should converse with a person who starts the conversation by grumbling I suppose it's the height of naivite to expect an answer about Debian around here, but here goes The reason I said that is in about two weeks' time I have posted on about four different issues; unresolved symbols, serial port, kdm/wdm, and other kernel/module problems. I never got *any* response from my kdm/wdm and serial questions despite carefully worded subject lines, clips from dmesg and serial.conf, descriptions of what I was doing, etc. They still don't work and I have no idea where to go for support now. Anyway, if you refuse to compile your own kernel, then you are relying on the configuration options that happened to be considered necessary for installing linux. Just for example, is the following option necessary for people installing linux? Is it set in the packaged images? I've no idea. I don't refuse to compile my own kernel, I have done so (check the thread) I just figured the kernel and modules that come from the distributor _ought_ to be matched together. It's a troubleshooting step. I was running well with adequate hardware support (for 2.0.36, anyways) and have used stock kernels successfully for about two years. At first I never had enough disk space to have the source/compiled object files and all the apps I needed. Support for sharing serial interrupts CONFIG_SERIAL_SHARE_IRQ Some serial boards have hardware support which allows multiple dumb serial ports on the same board to share a single IRQ. To enable support for this in the serial driver, say Y here. This is a very helpful snippet, thank you... is this in the 2.2.14 kernel? Is this not enabled in the stock one??? If so, that's very unconventional, for the reason you described above. It's well worth a look, though I don't understand why I would say N here -- unless it's obfuscated somewhere. I will certainly look harder for it this time. I mean, why should I have unresolved symbols when I am using a stock kernel? One could equally ask, why should you not? Like I said, if it comes out of the box, I expect it to work together. That's not an unrealistic expectation; it's the whole point of a distribution. Without that, one might as well start from scratch. And why does all of a sudden a list full of geniuses go completely silent? Grr. Well, when I originally saw the post that starts Well I upgraded, finally. And the kernel can't locate all my serial ports for some reason. I for one assumed that this was a continuing thread of conversation that I had overlooked. Looking back now, I might have been wrong about that. Yep, there was more previously, not strictly a thread. The list is a great resource, with very helpful people... and sometimes the only place a Debian user can go. When it sounds hollow, you're hooped. I don't think this is a modules thing, it's a kernel thing (very slight difference, I guess) but more importantly, it's a support thing. So far this much-acclaimed Linux community has proven to be a bunch of the proverbial blind men. I've been using Linux for about 5 years now, through all sorts of grief and struggles, and it's just not getting much better. What are the advantages of Debian again? I have a Slackware 96 CD here that also runs kernel 2.0! Wow! Cool! Like I said, I have maybe an hour a day to spend on this; and all I do is patch the dam Being insulted doesn't give me any motivation to make any suggestions. Sorry. And yet you did -- thanks again. That's all I wanted, you know; another guy mailed me and said I have 2.2 working here with 4 serial ports, using shared interrupts That tells me volumes and I wish I had that over the weekend. I also am reminded how e-mail can carry more weight in the reading than we may expect or intend. I can't change what I said, and maybe I wouldn't... the complaint and frustration still exist. The Linux community needs to do something to make it easier and less of a constant fight for folks. I try to help all I can (search for my posts) but there's obviously still something lacking. Maybe I need to work on a HOWTO (though I need the information from somewhere)! Let me again assure you; I have no reason or intent to insult you, my computer, on the other hand has some strong words coming. Always does, come to think of

Esound dependency problems
Hello. I have a small problem (well, actually it is a BIG one indeed) with installing several X packages, including the GNOME system, under the frozen (potato) distribution. I have ALSA installed, and so I use the ALSA version of the Enlightened soud daemon (esound-alsa0). Everyting works fine, but: Some packages insist that they depend on the package esound0, which in turn conflicts esound-alsa0! An even though esound-alsa0 provides esound0, this doesn't seem to bother these packages, and dselect wont install them. Someone suggested taht I should install these manually, overriding the dependencies, but this would take a hell of a lot of time, and I would get annoying dependency screens every time I used dselect... Anyone have an idea, what I should do? Daniel Szabo

DNS lookups fail
I have somehow managed to get things so that the computers going through my Debian 2.2 box for NAT can do DNS just fine, but I can't do a nslookup from the same box itself to save myself. nslookup never returns anything, even a timeout.

dhcpcd and remote NFS mounts
Hello. It is ok that the dhcpcd package does not create any symlink in /etc/rcS.d? I have a system running dhcp in which I'm trying to mount a remote filesystem by using /etc/fstab, but unfortunately remote mounts do not work because dhcpcd has not worked at that time yet. /etc/rcS.d/README says after the S40 scripts have executed, all local file systems are mounted and networking is available, but this is not true if networking is provided by dhcpcd. Is this a bug? Thanks for any help. -- af76852b22b5ebb428761d0df74ce3af (a truly random sig)

The ordinary boot floppies will let you do an NFS mount. They don't do

libXpm.so.4.11
A problem with libXpm.so.4. I run debian 2.1, kernel 2.2.14, and recently downloaded and compiled a program from citrix.com which I need to access through the net certain databases on a server running MS-Windows. When I try to run the program the shell complains that can't load library 'libXpm.so.4'. I noticed Debian 2.1 has libXpm.so.4.10 in /usr/X11R6/lib. In a different computer running Slackware 4.0, I observed libXpm.so.4.11 instead, also in /usr/X11R6/lib. I straightaway copied libXpm.so.4.11 to my /usr/X11R6/lib directory, and ran ldconfig. My citrix program now runs normally but, alas!, after I logout xdm does not let me back in anymore. I can only log in as root, or else, use the character console... I have now withdrawn libXpm.so.4.11, so I can work normally. However I keep getting a message bash: fg: no job control every time I open a new xterm, or login to the console. I am very worried that I can't access that database, as I need to use it! Any hints, please... Alberto -- J.

UPS setup problems (apcuspd and genpower)
I recently purchased an APC Back-UPS Pro 650, but have been unable to get the UPS the daemons to interact with my system. The system is a Dell Workstation 410 Linux hilbert 2.2.13 #1 SMP Fri Mar 17 13:57:34 EST 2000 i686 unknown with a current potato configuration via a fresh potato install (gotta love the new ext2 fs and MD5 passwords!) The apcupsd is communicating well with the APC unit: /etc/apcuspd.status shows: APC : Mar 22 09:06:42 CABLE: APC Cable 940-0095A UPSMODEL : Back-UPS Pro 650 UPSMODE : Stand Alone UPSNAME : UPS_IDEN ULINE: 119.5 Volts MLINE: 119.5 Volts NLINE: 118.8 Volts FLINE: 60.0 Hz VOUTP: 119.5 Volts LOUTP: 049.4 Load Capacity BOUTP: 13.8 Volts BCHAR: 100.0 Batt.

Despite having put an explicit TIMEOUT 300 in the configuration file, the machine stays up and the battery winds down. When the AC plug is pulled to test, the BFAIL tag changes to 0x10, the LASTEVENT is updated, the voltages go to zero and the battery charge diminishes. At *no* time are any messages printed to the terminal windows (to indicate power failure, warning logouts imminent, power resumed, etc). So I am rather confused. apcupsd collects valid data but /usr/sbin/powersc doesn't act on it. I have also tried genpower (/sbin/genpowerd /dev/ttyS0 apc-pnp) (which is the correct type for the APC Cable 940-0095A. The /etc/upsstatus *always* says OK even if the plug is pulled.

kernel freezes while start-up
I ran into difficulties with installing Debian. When booting the last message I see is: md driver 0.36.6 MAX_MD_DEV=4 MAX_REAL=8 I understand that its not a Debian only issue as I was reading many posts from users of various distributions who were mainly Athlon users. The only hint they got was to use a newer kernel which is compatible with Athlon. Since I have a Celeron I don't think that would help. My configuration is the following: Celeron 400 VIa Apollo ProPlus 133 2.2.14 Kernel Where can I find a precompiled Kernel or a complete bootdisk which lacks this md driver 'feature'? Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards -Tamas

Re: Mounting the Swap partition
I recently checked my '/etc/fstab' and found that my swap drive does not mount at boot.

I was wondering if I should ad this command in the '/etc/fstab': /dev/hda2 none swap sw you have to. i don't know, what the 'sw' at the end of the line is, but it is basically right. Do you need to mount the swap partition? it is auto-mounted by swapon -a in one of the boot-scripts. -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus!

You might use mmv.
If your files are: foo_bars
then usemmv *_* '#1\ #2' (quotes required)
uh ... i think, that the \ in '#1\ #2' should not be there.
it's intended to quote the space, but as it is already quoted within ',
it will be taken literally.
True, but mmv seems to interpret it itself:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/test]$ touch foo_bar
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/test]$ mmv '*_*' '#1\ #2'
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/test]$ ls
foo bar
I'd have left out the \ myself, though, as it's potentially confusing; I
think I'd also have used single quotes ('...') around the first argument
because I wasn't intending to do any interpolation in it, but that's
probably just me.
With mmv you can also avoid some quoting issues by supplying arguments
on standard input:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/test]$ touch foo_bar
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/test]$ mmv
*_* #1\ #2
[press Ctrl-D]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/test]$ ls
foo bar
This way you don't have to quote asterisks, question marks, hashes, and
the like, but you do still have to escape spaces in arguments with
backslashes.
