Re: Hora y BIOS
El Wed, Apr 12, 2000,
Ignacio J. Alonso...
Últimamente me estoy dando cuenta que tengo problemas con la
hora en linuxLa hora del sistema no es correcta y cuando
intento ajustarla con la hora de la BIOS que si lo es
utilizando hwclock --hctosys pasa de mi ...
¿Tienes instalado `adjtimex'?
Yo cuando el reloj se descontrola borro `/etc/adjtime' y
# /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh
Usage: hwclock.sh {start|stop|reload|show}
start sets kernel clock from CMOS clock
stop and reload set CMOS clock from kernel clock
Saludos.

Estimados amigos
Estoy intentando conectar una red a internet por medio de una RDSI.

El tgz no se, pero el MINI como :) está en http://lucas.hispalinux.es/COMO-INSFLUG/COMOs/En-Hora-Como/En-Hora-Como.html Supongo que consiste en el mensaje que ya enviaron a esta misma lista hace un tiempo. Era realmente muy interesante, y era específico para Debian, ya que está basado en los scripts que tiene por defecto Debian. No obstante, creo que hay un fallo (ojo, en los scripts de Debian, no en el documento). Me explico: La idea del método es: Al arrancar Debian, el reloj del sistema pregunta al reloj de hardware la hora que es, éste responde, pero el el sistema no se la cree, si no que dice: bueno como que desde la última vez que se apagó Debian ha pasado tanto tiempo, y como sé ( porque lo dice así /etc/adjtime ) que el reloj de hard necesita un ajuste de X segundos por día, la hora que doy por buena es: hora que da el reloj de hard + X*número de días (en decimal) que han pasado. Al apagar Debian, se controla el uptime según el reloj de sistema y según el reloj de hard, para hacer una nueva estimación de X (*supongo*), que se guarda en /etc/adjtime, y se sincronizan los dos relojes. Con esto se consigue en teoría una gran precisión si los relojes están bien calibrados. PERO: Lo que a yo observo es que el valor de X se actualiza mal. Este valor (el primer número que aparece en /etc/adjtime) debería ser más o menos el mismo. Sin embargo observo que los ajustes se van acumulando, y si tenía al principio (el 10 de marzo pasado) como suggested adjustment = -0.3951 sec/day (por cierto nada más hacer hwclock --systohc ya cambió algo) ahora voy por: -12.114908 Actualmente voy 1 minuto y 32 segundos atrasado. Comparado con el desmadre que tenía antes está bastante bien, pero creo que no es del todo satisfactorio. Sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que para hacer el ajuste con el servidor de hora de SLUG tuve el ordenador encendido todo un fin de semana para hacer 2 adjtimex bien separados y tener un calibrado fiable. ¿Alguien me puede corregir si estoy equivocado? ¿Nadie ha observado esta irregularidad? ¿Sería un error de los scripts o de hwclock? -- --- Andres Seco Hernandez - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ctv.es/USERS/andressh --- Microsoft Certified Product Specialist MCP ID 445900 Debian GNU Linux 2.1 (slink) - Linux Registered User no. 113867 --- 04/13 Laotian New Year (3 days) in Laos 04/14 Lincoln shot, 1865 04/14 Titanic hits iceberg and sinks, 1912 pgpPnhvjAqOmo.pgp Description: PGP signature

You can only add users if you are authenticating via kerberos or NIS. In that case, you would have to specify 'xhost +nis:root@' to get the desired behavior. And it won't work (i.e. grant anybody any access) unless you have Secure RPC. If you just specify a single word, xhost will assume you mean a network system and in fact it will give an error if you just type 'xhost +root' and there is no system called 'root' on your network.

William T Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: [...] On AMD CPUs Windows 95 falls over at clock speeds exceeding 350 MHz. You can download a patch from Microsoft that will fix the problem, but to install it you will have to drop your system speed down to slow. Try setting your system multiplier to x3 instead of x5 to run at 300 MHz. Windows should probably boot fine. I have a K6-2 300MHz, and Windows 95 boots fine. I believe the faster the K6-2 processor, the more likely Windows 95 is to fail to start up: there's a timing loop on startup, and it may fail. Something like that, anyway. I think the patch filename is AMDK6UPD.EXE. There's a patch for Windows 95 OSR2. IIRC, if you have Windows 95A (as I have), then the only option is to upgrade to Windows 98. Don't know why Linux should fail to shut down properly, though. Could it be one of these motherboards that requires APM shutdown to be done in real mode and that's screwing things up?

I noticed that when you build a kernel on your machine, that you can also make your kernel image and modules for your machine into a deb package, which then is usuable on other machines. Basically my question is, how do I make a deb kernel image, so that it can be transferred to other machines and used. Since all the machines are on the same hardware. And another thing I am curious about, is if compile something to my system, how could i turn the compiled/installed program into a deb file ready to use on another machine. So how do the package maintainers make there deb packages to be submitted to the package tree? I am very interested to know, and use it for my own benefit. Who knows I might someday become a maintainer of my own package :) Please email me directly, I am not on the list, and only broswe the disgest every so often :) Thanks
Re: can I change the font of default xterm?
I think you might try looking at console-tools or kbd packages. You probably won't be able to use TrueType fonts though, but I don't know for sure.

On Thu, Apr 13, 2000 at 11:27:39PM +, john smith wrote: yes. actually what I meant to ask was the fonts for the terminals when you press alt+f1,f2 etc.. First of all, you can't change it to a true type font as far as I know. *But* you can make it much nicer. The way I did it involves some kernel configuring, and it might also not work on all systems. So if you try it, make sure that you have a backup kernel image to boot into. So, now that the formalities are over, here's how you do it. 1) You go into your kernel source tree and make menuconfig (or xconfig) 2) Turn on the experimental stuff in Code Level Maturity Options. 3) Go to Console Drivers. 4) Select VGA text console and video mode selection support. 5) Go to Frame buffer support and turn on frame buffer devices 6) Select the video card that you have, or if it's not listed VESA VGA graphics console. Resist the temptation to use modules. They don't work. 7) Turn on Advanced low level driver options, and select everything from mono to 32 bpp 8) Turn on Select compiled in fonts. (This is the fun part) 9) I really like the Sparc console 12x22 font, and it's the only one that I selected. It seems to me that it has to be the only one that you select for you to use it. 10) That's it with kernel configuration. Now compile the newly configured kernel. Make sure that you don't overwrite your last one, you'll want it if things go wrong. 11) I added the line append=video=atyfb:1024x768-60,font:SUN12x22 to my /etc/lilo.conf for the part which contained the new kernel. This depends on which card you chose when configuring. 12) When the kernel's done compiling, run lilo. 13) Reboot. If things went well, you should now have a really nice font to look at. If the only problem is that your resolution is now out of whack, you can use the fbset utility to fix it. The command line that I use is fbset 1024x768-60. 14) Salt to taste.

Installing Netscape6
Please forgive me if this is a faq, but I couldn't find it in the recent list-archives: How would I go about installing the new Netscape(Mozilla) 6.0? I've d/l'ed the tarball, unpacked it, and there's no readme, no ns-install (like in 4.72), no docs whatsoever!? So, I figure I'll try the netscape-file which is in the top-directory. I know very little about scripts, but this could be an install-script. It aborts with something about missing libc6-1.1.2 (typing from memory). Does this mean that I am missing some libs?

0. OBJECTIVE
okay. in order to get postgresql-test to work, according to the

old apt-get install on these two new packages:
postgresql-pl
postgresql-contrib
here goes...
==
= here we go--the world-renowned
= TRILLICH PATTERN FOR SUCCESSFUL* DEBIN INSTALL:
==
1. WHICH DISTRIBUTION?
you'll be using apt-get to install debian things. (as of
april 2000, i hear this is the favored method.)
decide if you want packages or whole batch upgrades from
slink (debian 2.1)
potato (debian 2.2)
woody (debian 2.3 -- very experimental as i understand it)
and set your configuration files accordingly.
learn what you need to configure and where, here:
# man apt-get
# man apt-cache
# man apt.conf (/etc/apt/sapt.conf)
# man sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list)
and at
http://www.debian.org/
click installation instructions under Distribution
for even more.
there's WAY more there than you'll probably ever need,
but browse thru the manpages so you won't be in the dark.
basically you'll usually only use
# apt-get install packageOne package_two
after your configuration is set, and
# apt-get --reinstall install this_package thatPackage
if you need to steamroll something
the old way to install things was
# dselect (screen-friendly point select interface)
# dpkg (worked behind the scenes with dselect)
now i still used dpkg to hammer something down, but for the
most part stick with apt-get.
until something goes haywire. (just wait.)
2. BACKUP?
if i had any useful data or settings to preserve, i'd do so now.
email it to myself, shuffle it off to floppy, gzip it up in my
home directory, off to a jaz--no, wait, i might want it back...
files are available in *.rpm format. there is a utility
debian offers (alien) to translate those gadgets into debian
*.deb packages.
regarding those rpm files: DO NOT GO THERE unless you are
desparate (or using redhat or one of its close cousins). it
may work, but it's no longer the preferred way of going about
this sort of thing for debian folk like you and me. not any
more. use APT-GET (or when the interface is ready, APT
itself).
3. APT-GET INSTALL
# apt-get install postgresql-{pl,contrib}
those are the two packages i wanted.
initial try fails with install errors--missing files, unresolved
dependencies, verious snags hither and yon. i'd almost be
disappointed if it didn't, by now. roll with the punches.
so i step back a bit, and 'set phasers to obliterate' since my
initial try fails.
4. DPKG --REMOVE
# dpkg -r postgresql-{pl,test,contrib}
note i'm removing the two i just had install troubles with,
AND the original dastardly creep that's causing the headaches
to begin with.
4a. DPKG --PURGE
# dpkg --purge postgresql-{pl,test,contrib}
in theory, --purge does everything that --remove does, plus a bit
more (namely removing config files). but it's more satisfactory
to do it in two passes--feels like you get to shoot it, and then
bury it. very fulfilling. (reward yourself now and then, you
deserve it.)
and let me warn you: even purge won't purge everything.
can't remove xyzzy: directory not empty is a message you'll
see often. it's just a hollow directory with an old file here
and there, so you can blast it by hand (rm -i -r xyzzy, be
careful to check the path you type before pressing return)
or just let it go since it'll be re-created momentarily.
once i get here i'm all clear. everything is gone. i'm tabula
rasa (blank slate), ready to try again. now--retry:
5. APT-GET (again. if you can get away with just one, congratulations)
# apt-get install postgresql-{pl,test,contrib}
think of this as going back to step three, adding the
named of other packages you just purged.
if all doesn't go well, i try again, sometimes deinstalling an
uber-package... i.e. one that is crucial for the ones i'm depending
on. reinstalling it can

exim as mailhub on a dialup line
Hi!
At home, I have my debian box acting as masquerading gateway/mail-/fileserver
et al for my local network. The clients have the box as outgoing mailserver,
which works fine as long as the box is actually connected to the internet.
What I can´t figure out is to get it to accept mail from the clients and just
stow it away in the queue even when it´s not connected to the internet.
When I telnet in on port 25 from one of the clients and issue the appropriate
HELO bla, it tries to resolve the hostname with its forwarding nameserver,
which of course times out. When I´m telnetting to port 25 on localhost, it
doesn´t ?!
Now I´m running a local nameserver which has entries for the clients and the
proper reverse-lookups, so it shouldn´t try to contact its forwarding
nameserver. This works fine when issuing a ´host bla´ from the commandline, but
not when exim is trying to resolve.
Any help/advice/rtfm-pointer would be most appreciated, I seem to be finally
stuck with what I call knowledge :/

The new CPU is an AMD500K2, the Motherboard a Gigabyte GA-5AX (Rev5.2.x) (with ALi Aladdin chipset and Award bios) and a 64MB DIMM (100MHz).

In the past, I've been lucky with upgrading - this time, however, I've problems and a puzzle. Hi, John. I have the AT version of your motherboard, the GA-5AA. I too have an AMD K6II-500 CPU. A couple of things. If you go into the BIOS settings you will find an option for loading failsafe settings (or some similar phrase). There are two pre-set options, an optimum set which attempts to configure the board with best-case settings, and the failsafe set which sets everything consevatively and is designed for cases like yours. Load up the failsafe set, and reboot. You should find that now all is well. The technique now is to change things setting by setting until you get the best settings for your system. In my experience problems with 100 MHz Super Socket 7 motherboards is *usually* related to memory. These boards use 100MHz memory and my supplier tells me that they have a relatively high failure rate - I can personally vouch for this as I build systems as a sideline. Bad memory will cause the sort of problems you are seeing. I have enable UDMA on my system too - get back to me if you want to set this us - it reuires a patch to the kernel and a recompile. -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux 2000

Re: Help with GDM
I have a different problem with GDM2. I am running the latest development kernels. Unfortunately, the way shrmem works has been changed. Now, prebuilt GDM packages give me executables that crash when I run them. I am left attempting to get GDM2 to run after building and installing it from CVS source. The problem I have is that I cannot seem to get the Xauth stuff to work. I have added the requisite entries to /etc/pam.d/gdm, I have the /var/gdm directory correctly configured, permissions and ownershipwise. I am totally flumoxed. I have tried for over a day to get the damn thing to work, to no avail. I've tried setting the various dir prefixes to make sure all my settings were being found, but that hasn't helped. I must say, a fairly obvious fix that would seem to me to be obvious would be to have the installation proceedure check which distribution was being used (at least for Mandrake, SUSE, RedHat, Debian) and then install the various pieces in the same places that the packages for those distributions use. It just seems that setting up GDM is harder than it needs to be (comments in the gdm2/INSTALL notwithstanding).

Some confusion with libraries and include files (HELP!!!!!)
Hello!
I'm a bit in trouble here, and any help will be _very_ welcome!
Well,
Once upon a time, I had installed Slink. Some libs went old (GTK and a
large bunch), then I compiled them from source to use the newer
versions. Ok. Libs in /usr/local/lib e includes in /usr/local/include,
ok? I edited /etc/ld.so.conf to put /usr/local/bin before the system's
libraries. Everything worked fine...
Last month I upgraded Slink to Potato, then newer libs came, Glibc went
2.1, newer gcc, binutils and so. Then I tried to compile glTron. Error.
My previously compiled-from-source Mesa3D was disappeared. Let's
install Mesa3D and Mesa3D-dev (apt) and edit ld.so.conf to look first
for the Debian libs... ldconfig... glTron compiled, with two screens of
warning... Some errors with the source, I suppose... When I ran it, the
sound started to play, and 2 seconds after it segfaulted. Let's try
another program!: XMMS. Compiled, installed and ran fine (till the
OpenGL vis-plugin).
Last night I tried to compile CodeCommander 0.4.0:
getprefs.C:15:assignment to 'GdkFont *' from 'gint' lacks a cast
Uh. I understood the error message (I know something about C/C++
programming), but...
I suppose that the creator of this program compiled his code sucessfully
before exposing its lines to the masses, as the glTron guy would do.
What makes me think that the problem is in my System.
It may be a wrong shot, but I'm suspecting that the system is trying to
compile using include files from a version of these libs, and trying to
link with mismatched versions of the libraries, causing mismatched
pointer types and so. What drives me to one question:
If /etc/ld.so.conf is the file who tells to my system where to find the
libraries to link, where is stored the information about what include
files to use at compile time?
Well, in the CodeCommander's Makefile, we have a prefix = /usr/local,
an includedir = ${prefix}/include and an oldincludedir =
/usr/include.
I a bit lost.
Any help will be _very,_very,_really_very_ welcome...|O

What are the most common causes of linux system hangs?
Aka... why is my system so well hung? :) Every now and then, I'll have a Debian box that starts having fits of hard system hangs. Sometimes, it goes away when I turn off a daemon. Other times, it goes away when I put the hard drives in an entirely different computer. Currently, I'm having this problem with one. Just... out of the blue, it will hang dead in its tracks. The keyboard doesn't even wake the screen so I can see if there are any kernel panic messages or anything. Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't do anything. I have to hit the rest button. It doesn't seem to matter what's running becuase I've tried turning almost all of the daemons (except cron and a couple of others) off, and it still hung. It's happening more and more frequently, too. It used to be able to go for a week or two. Now, it barely makes it more than 4 hours or so. Now, I'm pretty certain that it's some hardware problem. But, I'd like to avoid moving the whole system to a brand-new machine, find that the problem has gone away, and conclude that there's just *something* bad about the old server and that I need to chuck the whole thing. So, I'd like to isolate the problem, if I could. With that in mind, does anyone have any personal experience concerning what the problem usually is in these cases? Motherboard? RAM? Has it ever helped anyone to *under*clock the CPU? I'm anxious for any ideas - Joe

Re: request of help to make the network card work
I have a 3Com Etherlink iii 3c509b ISA PnP network card, located under windows at IO=0x210, IRQ=5. When I try to load the module 3c509.o under linux, it detects a card at IO=0x200, irq=3. Any attempt to configure the module (via modules.conf) with specified values results in a IO_PARAM error. What can I do? you probably have to install the isapnp package and configure the card accordingly. alternatively you can look in your bios setup under pci-options. there is a switch pnp os installed. turn it to no.

Has it ever helped anyone to *under*clock the CPU? I'm anxious for any ideas I can only tell you about some experiences I made with an old 486, which I got very cheap without a harddisc. I bought an IDE-HD and put it in, installed debian and I also got occasional system crashes with exactly the same symptoms as you reported, except that it always occured, when there was heavy I/O on the harddisc, and afterwards the hd-LED was always on. I also tried different settings, with the demons and so on, but it didn't help. As I had a small DOS-Partition on the hard-drive, I booted into DOS, just to test. The problem still occured. So it was quite clear to me, that it should be a hardware matter. In my case, it was easy to isolate the problem. I assumed, that the computer had worked fine in the office, it had been used before (as some kind of diskless terminal, booting from a network). So it was clear to me, that it had to do something with the harddisc which I put in. First thing, I did, was change the connector cable. Didn't help. As the harddisc was new, I supposed, it could be a problem with the I/O-card, which was in the computer. So I exchanged that one, and guess what? The thing worked fine. So in essence, I agree with you, that your Problem might most probably be a hardware matter. But it could be very difficult to isolate the problem. I am not an expert in hardware matters, but I don't think that underclocking would be the way to go. If your motherboard and CPU fit together, and they support the clock you are using, this shouldn't be a problem (There was another mail on the debian-user list just recently, saying that W95 was falling over on AMDs faster than 350MHz on certain motherboards, but we're not talking about windoze in your case, and I don't think this is a very common case). I don't know, how BIOS RAM-Tests work, but I would first of all conclude, that if this one never reports a problem, it should not be a problem with the RAM. Don't count on my tips too much, as I am not a techie, but just a normal user. But I just wanted to show you, how I would try to isolate the problem: Try removing or exchanging (one by one) those things from your system, that could cause the crashes. Start with the components, which are most likely to cause the problem, and which can most easily be removed/exchanged (For example easy to exchange: connector cables). This can be a very time consuming thing, but I don't see another way of isolating hardware problems of such a kind, when you don't get error reports or kernel-messages in case of a crash. So this mail is perhaps not of much help for you, as I can't say: This or that is definitely the thing to look at. But I also think, that this would be impossible to do, as it can be many things in the inside of your computer, which can cause such problems. Regards, Daniel

Hello. I'm using Debian potato on my laptop at school where I have a fast and free internet connection. At another computer at home, I'm using Debian slink. I would like to put potato on that computer to, but that one has no fast free connection. That computer uses some packages not installed my laptop. I would like to be able to download and not install those packages on my laptop, then use apt-move to put them on the ftp of my laptop and upgrade the other computer.

Re: 7-bit PPP
Oki writes: I'm having problem setting up a PPP connection on Debian; one of the side complained that the line was not 8-bit clean. Is this kind of problem due to the settings in /etc/ppp/options or is it a hardware problem? Neither. It means that pppd is starting up at your end while a login process is still running at the other end, echoing everything while it waits for what it needs to complete the login. The login process is expecting test and so is stripping the eighth bit. Dial in with minicom and work through the login process by hand to find out what your ISP wants. How do you setup a machine that's used for dial-in and dial-out regarding to the IP numbers? Use pppconfig to set it up for dial-out and then use pon to start ppp and poff to stop it. I'd like to have it to accept the remote IP if the machine is for dialing-out and giving out an IP number when it's used for servicing dial-ins. Dial-in and dial-out are completely independent. Use mgetty with AUTOPPP for dial-in. What is /etc/ppp/options.ttyXX for? It contains pppd options that are only read when the connection is made via that particular serial port. Is it for dial-out or dial-in? Either, though it is usually used for dial-in. You need not be concerned with it, though. Leave it alone. And what about /etc/ppp/options? Is it used for both? /etc/ppp/options is read whenever pppd starts up. It should contain options that apply to all connections. They can be overrridden by options from other sources.
