Re: Un servidor-X para la S3 Trio 3D 2x (86c362)
El Wed, Apr 19, 2000, Francisco José Avila Bermejo... ¿Sabe alguien dónde puedo encontrar un servidor para las X que funcione para esta dichosa tarjeta de video?...

fips
Estoy intentando crear una nueva particion en mi disco duro para instalar Debian. Despues de desfragmentar mi HDD, hice un disco de arranque en donde grabe FIPS, al ejecutarlo me sale el siguiente error: Error: Last Cylinder is not free Since the new partition is created at the end of the old one at conatins at least one cylinder, the partition can not be split if not at least the very last cylinder is completely free. Probably there is a hidden file like 'image.idx' or 'mirror.fil'in the last cylinder. En la documentacion de fips, dicen que si encuentro estos dos archivos los borre, pero no los encuentro. Sabe alguien que puedo hacer. Gracias, Jorge Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
Nucleo se frie
Estoy utilizando el Nucleo 3.99pre5 simplemente porque tiene soporte Plug and Play para mi tarjeta de sonido (SB64). Lo que me Ha sorprendido es que al apagar el ordenador el núcleo se quedó frito dandome un error extraño sobre un puntero erroneo, y no estaba utilizando las X. ¿Es posible que el núcleo de una versión de desarrollo como la 3.99pre5 se pueda quedar frito?, porque a mi nunca me había pasado que se me colgara el Linux, se me podían colgar las X, pero se arreglaba facilmente haciendo telnet. Si utilizo una versión de desarrollo del Núcleo y se me cuelga ¿Conviene que todos los datos que me aparecen debido al error los notifique a alguien?. Gracias por anticipado
¿Es esto normal con la llamada 'gethostbyname()'?
Estoy haciendo un programa chorra para redireccionar correo y me he encontrado
con una curiosidad del gethostbyname(). El caso es que siempre devuelve un
puntero a la misma dirección, por lo que en dos llamada sucesivas a la función
para resolver dos nombre, pues el segundo pisa al primero. Por lo visto no hace
un malloc() para reservar memoria o yo qué sé:
Este programa de ejemplo demuestra tan curioso hecho:
#include stdio.h
#include netdb.h
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
struct hostent *a, *b, *c;
printf(a: %p, b: %p, c:%p\n, a, b, c);
a = gethostbyname(antares);
b = gethostbyname(javi);
c = gethostbyname(apolo);
printf(a: %p, b: %p, c:%p\n, a, b, c);
return 0;
}
¿Hay algo mal en mi máquina? Supongo que la solución es hacer un
malloc() y un memcpy() de lo que devuelve cada vez para que no me pise, pero no
lo veo lógico.
Gracias.

psutils and Postscript manipulation
Hi all, I have been playing around with the psutils package and I am really impressed. What bugs me however, is that psnup will simply scale down the individual pages and arrange them on another page, including all margins in the original file. While this looks pretty good, it wastes space space. So I measured the margins myself and used pstops to arrange the pages myself. (I also included space for punching holes and stuff like that.) Which leads me this question: How can I measure the margins of a Postscript file automatically? Is there a tool? Or is there good documentation of the Postscript file format, so somebody could write a short perl script? And as a side question: Is it possible to scale a Postscript file with different values for the x- and the y-ratio? pstops will only scale x and y with the same value, but using different values, you could use page space more effeciently.

Postscript isn't like a graphic bitmap, it's a printer programming language. The specifications have been published by Adobe and there are one or two tomes on the subject. You might ask experts on a news group like comp.text.ps (?) or something. There are a few experts frequenting comp.text.tex as well. BTW, if you have single pages, you could convert them to eps with a bounding box and then use LaTeX with the graphicx package to create landscaped pages with side by side images that have been scaled. Of course, you'd have to delve into the wonderful world of LaTeX. And, if you went that far -- you might as well create the final product from LaTeX sources to begin with. :) -- ¶ One·should·only·use·the·ASCII·characterset·when·compos » ing·email·messages.

update/upgrade to frozen - TRUBBLE
the saga enters a new chapter. last week i did the apt-get dist-upgrade and all that, and things were going along rather well until i rebooted (says something for linux, that rebooting isn't a daily or hourly necessity as it is on my mac and on most windon't boxes)... love the new console video modes, by the way! cool! but allofasudden the appletalk daemon is broke, and MySQLd won't launch. here's the tail end of the startup messages on the console, with commentary by me: Running dns-clean. eth1: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses. eth0: Setting Rx mode to 0 addresses. eth0: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses.

Then you run ssh-add and type in your passphrase. The ssh-agent caches your key and access is limited to your user (permissions on the unix socket). This is not secure enough for some of course. Thanks Ben and Jens for your advice on this issue. I have now got ssh-agent working with support for X and non-X logins (/etc/profile checks whether $DISPLAY is set to determine which alias to setup for ssh-add). Now I have a problem though, sometimes a session gets killed without the .logout running and the ssh-agent keeps running. This is a problem as the machine in question could potentially be accessed by an untrusted person and the ssh-agent contains the root password. What I would like to do is have the ssh-agent timeout after some time of inactivity and/or a specified period of time. Another thing I would like to do is have a password get removed from the ssh-agent after a period of time. Has anyone worked on any of these issues? Does anyone have any code that may help? If no-one else has done any of this then I intend to write some support for this myself.

Here I call a script which looks like this: #!/bin/sh button=`/usr/X11R6/bin/xmessage -geometry +315+500 -print \ -buttons shutdown:1,reboot \ Explanation how to use or anything else` case $button in shutdown) /sbin/shutdown -h now ;; reboot) /sbin/shutdown -r now ;; esac Xstartup_0 runs after a user has logged in successfully.

Signal 11?
Hello...
I wrote in the other day detailing the overwhelming amount of erradic
behaviour my new system (K62-550,128MB,16M Vid)
I have a tyan trinity AGP motherboard.
I've finally got the network card workingand the systems general
stability seems ok...(admittedly I haven't done much...browsed the web and
such...) But it still won't let me compile the kernel without crashing. In
my message the other day I said that everytime I tried it would bomb with a
signal 6at a diffrent place each time. Counting the rest of the general
system instability I decided to follow some advice and run a comprehensive
memory testand it passed.
So now I'm wondering if anyone else could share a few ideas as to problems.
All my peripherals work (which is very few) and there are no IRQ conflicts.
The memory test (as I said before) passed, and the HD is brand new, fresh
out of the box. Here's the detailed list of parts...in case anyone can pick
out a known-to-be-a-bitch part.
Tyan Trinity AGP Motherboard w/ AMD K6-2 550Mz
Diamond Stealth SG540 16M video.
128M SDRAM (1 new 64M, and 1 old - both 100mhz - both passed memtest86)
10GB Maxtor HD
Kingston EtherX KNE100TX 10/100
I am running Debian 2.2 - I know it's frozen and not stable, but I couldn't
make the kernel compile when I installed a fresh slink either...and potato
is just so much more trick!
And here is what I get when the kernel compile dies.

end--
Yes...it does look like the assembler loses track of an op code in memory
and can't find it againthis would lead me to think it was a memory
problem if memtest86 wasn't so adament that it was OK.
Note that while it died working on compiling ipv4 *this* timeit also
shows signs of being a memory error by dying at a diffrent point almost
every time...
So my question isis there anything that can be wrong...that would appear
to be a memory errorwhen there really isn't a memory error? Or basically
can anyone give me any new thoughts on the issue at all?
Thanks

Re: trying out a 2.3.x kernel
-ipchains is gone, iptables replaces it There's a compatability entry for ipchains, which you can select during the config stage. I don't know when it actually went in, but it's available in 2.3.99-pre5, and seems to work as expected. Cheers!
Print Email the same document
I've been trying to do this off-and-on for two years, and although I've had
lots of
help, nothing has ever worked. Can I assume that it's impossible to print and
email
a document from one command?
Here's my goal:
When I print something to a certain print queue, I
want the document to be printed and to be mailed.
Normal printing is filtered through the standard
HPLJ4 magicfilter, and from there gets sent to the
remote printer.
When I want hardcopy and email, I print to a
second queue, that runs a mailit filter (a perl
script) that should send the printed material to
an email, and that should then bounce the printed
material to the normal queue as mentioned above.
If I manually run the mailit filter, the prompt
sits there, where I can type something, like This
is a test, and then hit Ctrl-D. The mailit filter
ends, returning me to a normal prompt, and then
I can check my mail and there's the message.
Perfect.
However, whenever I print to the second queue, I
get the printout, but it never generates the email
message. Can anyone help me figure out what I'm
doing wrong?
Here's my printcap:

Re: debian Linux
Hi all the book is available online for free (open publication license). http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/debian/chapter/index.html Oops, didn't know that. Too late, now that I only bought it yesterday. But thanks for the info. Now, the problem is that the cd coming w/z the book seems broken. Will surely get that replaced tomorrow though(!) Today, I couldn't wait anymore to try debian, so I dl the necessary disks (shops are closed here today, so unable to get cd replaced immediately) from the inet, created them and installed a very minimal system. At another place, where I have access to a cable modem, I will try some bigger install, though. Seems nice, particularly the package-management tools, apt-get, dselect and so forth. :-) Had just one problem: dual-booting. This might just be slightly off-topic, so sorry. The config file looks as follows: - lilo.conf - boot=/dev/hda install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal delay=20 prompt image=/vmlinuz label=Linux root=/dev/hda3 read-only other=/dev/hdb1 label=win loader=/boot/chain.b table=/dev/hdb - lilo.conf - hda is where linux resides, hdb is for win. hda has various partitions, hdb has only hdb1. When booting, i select win, but it seems to hang. Using debian 2.1, dl'ed from the net. I'd be very happy to receive comments / suggestions. Cheers. Sven

Re: New (to Debian) user with some (what else?) questions
Hi, Thanks for the wvdial tip. I've successfully been using pon and poff so far (like three hours) but I'll keep this note around for future reference. And, yes, I know all about the man and info docs as well as the HOWTO stuff. The problem is figuring out what to look up. Like I've been using Linux (first Slackware and then RH) for over five years now but have never used or even heard of 'pon' 'poff' or 'wvdial' prior to my move to Debian (the day before yesterday). What in the world would make me enter info pon if I had never heard of 'pon?' I did see a brief reference somewhere (the Debian Installation Guide? some script during the installation process? wherever?) which said to read the diald HOWTO and I haven't yet done that, but I'll be amazed if it suggests 'pon' 'poff' or 'wvdial.' (I'll be glad to publicly apologize to the author[s] if it does, if that's what s/he wants.) btw, I've got most everything working just fine, and I thank everyone who helped me and also all who encouraged me to move to Debian.

potato growing pains
The installation went smoothly except for 1 glitch - I was unable to create a boot floppy. When I got to that stage it formatted the blank floppy I provided (and it seemed to use a superformat), then bailed out. When I switched to console 2 where the log messages go during installation, I saw a gripe about invalid argument to umount. Have you seen that? (Yes I tried another floppy, same result). More importantly though, do you know how I can resize the newfangled framebuffer console like I could with SVGATextMode? stm itself doesn't work at all, predictably; but neither does fbset which seems to be the closest thing to what I want. (It complains about a failed ioctl). Even if fbset worked, it's a horrific amount of work to figure out the parameters which are all in terms of pixels, clock rates etc. With stm I could just say stm 112x40 and bingo. For text users like me the framebuffer is definitely a giant step backward unless I'm missing something. I had to install X just to read some basic documents. If resizing is as hard as it seems or even impossible, is there a way to disable the framebuffer and use the old char-cell console? Something like a kernel command line parameter perhaps? I read kernel/Documentation/fb/* but all I can see is a mention of a video= parameter with no explanation what should go on the right side. :-( Thanks for help, -- Ian Zimmerman Lightbinders, Inc. 2325 3rd Street #324, San Francisco, California 94107

post-delivery mail filtering
I would like to be able to take an existing mail spool file (e.g. /var/spool/mail/USER) and pass it to slocal for processing. If I simply do this... cat MAILFILE | /usr/lib/mh/slocal -user USER ...all the messages get interpreted as one big message (no surprise there, as slocal is designed to be run from .forward).

i'm not sure, if i understand you right ... you are having trouble to
detect the end of file, when there is an empty line at it's end, right?

New installation - pump trouble
Hi all. I'm trying to install Potato to what will become my ipchains server. I had previously installed Slink on this computer, but managed to completely mangle my installation when my old ISP switched to PPPOE. My new provider (Videotron) uses DHCP for their cable modems, and I can get an address just fine in Windows on a different computer. On my Potato box, different story. My Ethernet card seems to work (3Com 3c509b, shows up in ifconfig), but it does not get an IP address assigned on boot. Running : pump -i eth0 -R gets me an Operation failed error message, and no IP address. Is there anything else I need to configure? I'd read the man page, but since the installation has not completed, man does not work yet. I'm thinking of yanking out pump, and replacing it with dhcpcd. Any thoughts/ideas? Thanks, Dan

(contrast with 'locate' and 'updatedb'.) i approve of the trend shown in the /etc/init.d scripts; same script to start or stop or restart or show status--internally each calls different commands and different options, but to the user it's one script/program/application, as it should be. each world--command-line and gui--has its advantages (of course, since there's no such thing as Xwindows, i'm sure nobody in the linux world knows that). :)

Re: crypto patch
Probably not. Beside the crypto laws, there is also the DSFG that debian adheres to, and many of the encryption schemes have patents on them, thus makeing them non-free, and not in debian by default. oh yeah, i forgot about that ... still there are some that are patent unencumbered aren't there? If you're really hard core about security and encryption (and I'm going to be heretical here, but hey, I have to plug my home), try OpenBSD. Since it's main repository is in Canada, US crypto laws don't apply. I played with it a bit, but not enough to really get to know the advantages. Well, except for the ports. I wish GNU/Linux would have something like that. cd /ports/program. make. Automatic download, compilation, installation. No though required... yeah open bsd is nice, but i much prefer apt to the ports collection. before apt showed up i was almost tempted to switch to open/freebsd because the ports tree is so nice. the bummer about the ports tree is that can't clean up after itself as well as a binary package can, and my experience with freebsd is that the dependencies aren't handled nearly as well as debian handles them. and if you want to compile them there's always 'apt-get --compile source packagename'. if you haven't used it before here's how it works :) adam. heyzeus(larry)$ sudo apt-get --compile source portsentry Password: Reading Package Lists...

Yep, there are those that are distributed with the kernel-int patch that's distributed in non-US.

I've never actually compile using apt-get. I've gotten source though. Thanks for the info. Now that you mention it, I agree that clean up is a lot easier with packaging, dpkg especially. Probably why I'm still using debian. :) Marshal
RE: Signal 11?
A friend of mine had the same problem with a K6-2 450. He finally fixed it by
setting the cpu core voltage to the right value.
Don't believe your mobo manual, have a look at the processor itself - it
should be stamped on there.

Subject: Signal 11?
Hello...
I wrote in the other day detailing the overwhelming amount of erradic
behaviour my new system (K62-550,128MB,16M Vid)
I have a tyan trinity AGP motherboard.
I've finally got the network card workingand the systems general
stability seems ok...(admittedly I haven't done much...browsed the web and
such...) But it still won't let me compile the kernel without crashing. In
my message the other day I said that everytime I tried it would bomb with a
signal 6at a diffrent place each time. Counting the rest of the general
system instability I decided to follow some advice and run a comprehensive
memory testand it passed.
So now I'm wondering if anyone else could share a few ideas as to problems.
All my peripherals work (which is very few) and there are no IRQ conflicts.
The memory test (as I said before) passed, and the HD is brand new, fresh
out of the box. Here's the detailed list of parts...in case anyone can pick
out a known-to-be-a-bitch part.
Tyan Trinity AGP Motherboard w/ AMD K6-2 550Mz
Diamond Stealth SG540 16M video.
128M SDRAM (1 new 64M, and 1 old - both 100mhz - both passed memtest86)
10GB Maxtor HD
Kingston EtherX KNE100TX 10/100
I am running Debian 2.2 - I know it's frozen and not stable, but I couldn't
make the kernel compile when I installed a fresh slink either...and potato
is just so much more trick!
And here is what I get when the kernel compile dies.
---begin-
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-f
rame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486

make[1]: *** [_dir_net] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux'
make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2
egypt3:/usr/src/linux#
end--
Yes...it does look like the assembler loses track of an op code in memory
and can't find it againthis would lead me to think it was a memory
problem if memtest86 wasn't so adament that it was OK.
Note that while it died working on compiling ipv4 *this* timeit also
shows signs of being a memory error by dying at a diffrent point almost
every time...
So my question isis there anything that can be wrong...that
would appear
to be a memory errorwhen there really isn't a memory error? Or
basically
can anyone give me any new thoughts on the issue at all?
Thanks

installing Debian for an Unix-ignorant user (point-and-click installation)
Hi all: A friend of mine in a fit of anger directed to his Window~1 installation called me and asked if I would install Linux for him. We have discussed with him before, that everything he needs from a computer (web browsing, document/spreadsheet editing, email) can be done from within Linux using familiar to him graphical interfaces. His Win98 has been blue-screening on him way too often. Next week I'm going to install Debian on his computer. Basically, I am thinking of setting up Gnome, and stuffing everything he could need in a root menu and clickable icons. He is no dummy, but has very little knowledge of computers besides most common applications. Has anyone done this kind of setup? Are there any things that I should be forewarned about, perhaps? How easy is it to configure a ppp connection as a desktop icon? (I'm on a cable modem, and have never configured ppp under Linux). I'll be very greatful for any suggestions and ideas! -- Arcady Genkin http://www.thpoon.com Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
