Re: Sender con exim
puedes poner en el /etc/exim.conf que el qualified_domain no sea wanadoo.es, si no otro :) aunque cuando te respondan mails no los recibiras :P Normalmente tendrias que poner la ip de tu maquina en formato alfanumerico, p.ej. 212.78.157.52 se resuelve a dom6-52.menta.net (lo se pq es mi ip) asi que el fqd (full-qualified domain) es dom6-52.menta.net, y si tienes el ordenador encendido puedes recibir mail En conclusion, o te cambias el nombre de usuario o te cambias el dominio ;) espero ser de ayuda...

RDSI
Buenas, Tengo una pregunta tecnica con respecto a una RDSI y tanto me temo que meti las patas: Compre un linea RDSI, un adaptador RDSI (chip winbond) para configurar el acceso remoto a un servidor, pero al acceso remoto llaman personas que tienen lineas analogas, segun la FAQ de la RDSI, esto no se puede, eso dice la FAQ pero es que niego a creerlo, osea que estas tarjetas solo sirven para conectar computadores de RDSI a RDSI? Si la cosa es asi lo que me va a tocar hacer es comprar un adaptador de RDSI a analogo y ahi conectarle dos modems porque ni modo. Alguien ha tenido experiencia con estos cacharros, otro problema es que la mayoria de la documentacion esta en Aleman !!!. Otra pregunta, tengo una tarjeta AVM B1 Chip, esta es una tarjeta activa pero dentro de la configuracion del kernel, no aparece el correspondiente modulo hisax para esta tarjeta, se puede utilizar sin este hisax o hay uno que se compile para esta? gracias a todos !!

Dudas sobre fetchmail
Al final he conseguido conectarme a Internet utilizando PPP. Pero al intentar configurar la lectura de correo, me han surgido ciertas dudas: 1.- Para leer el correo pensaba utilizar fetchmail, ya que sólo me conecto de vez en cuando.¿Sirve fetchmail para enviar correo (protocolo SMTP)?.¿Necesito algún otro MTA (exim,sendmail,etc) para ello? 2.- Finalmente, tengo un problema al configurar fetchmail, porque a mi servidor de correo le ha dado por separar el nombre de usuario del servidor POP mediante el caracter '#' en lugar de '@'. ¿Como puedo configurar fetchmail para que los separe mediante '#'?

Re: Dudas sobre fetchmail
1.- Para leer el correo pensaba utilizar fetchmail, ya que sólo me conecto de vez en cuando.¿Sirve fetchmail para enviar correo (protocolo SMTP)?.¿Necesito algún otro MTA (exim,sendmail,etc) para ello? Fetchmail unicamente sirve para recivir correo. Para enviar correo necesitaras como bien has dicho primero un servidor de correo por ejemplo exim, y un cliente de correo para mandar como mutt o mail. 2.- Finalmente, tengo un problema al configurar fetchmail, porque a mi servidor de correo le ha dado por separar el nombre de usuario del servidor POP mediante el caracter '#' en lugar de '@'. ¿Como puedo configurar fetchmail para que los separe mediante '#'? No se porque el te dan el la dirección en esa forma tan rara. Pero para utilizar fetchmail no necesitas utilizar ninguna @ sino fetchmail -u usuario -p POP3 servidor.es

First, you need to have xfonts-base, and probably xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi installed. They may have gotten removed for some reason (??). Next, look at /etc/X11/XF86Config near the top will be one or more FontPath declarations. If they are typical unix paths, make sure they all exist and are correct (/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc, etc...). On the other hand, if you have something like unix/:7100 then you need to be running a font server on that port (typically xfs, or xfs-xtt). So, make sure the font server is running by executing /etc/init.d/xfs restart. If the server won't start, it probably has configuration errors. Check /etc/X11/xfs/config for the font paths. It's probably as simple as this later case, X wouldn't start because the font server needed to be restarted. That should do it. -- ¶ One·should·only·use·the·ASCII·characterset·when·compos » ing·email·messages.
Problem with rescue disks

Re: Help. pcmica doesn't work any longer.
On Sun, 28 May 2000, Jens K. Olsen wrote: Please help. I just updated my frozen on my laptop. After updating, I am not able to use pcmcia any longer. The pcmcia-core module is not being loaded automatically on startup any longer. When I try to load it using modconf, I get the following messages: Upgrading a laptop causes problems the moment the pcmcia-cs package is installed. This is because some modules are installed that have been made especially for your kernel build. To fix the problem you install the debian pcmcia scripts (done by installing the pcmcia-cs package) and then remove the pcmcia-cs package but leaving all the scripts behind. This prevents you losing you pcmcia usage when apt-get in its infinite wisdom updates the pcmcia-cs drivers then then giving you the problem you are experiencing. The best thing to do is manually maintain the pcmcia-cs package yourself. My instructions should help you (I written them down as if you are logged on as rootm there is a normal user way to do this but its compilicated for a first timer (I'm assuming you are one)). Download the kernel source (from ftp.kernel.org) and the pcmcia driver source (from sourceforge.org/pub/Linux/kernel/pcmcia). Make sure you have BOTH. remove the pcmcia-cs package with: dpkg -r pcmcia-cs decompress your linux kernel source to /usr/src/linux and within that folder type make menuconfig select everything you need and exit the program. now type (this will take some time) mv /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.15 /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.15o - NOTE rm /lib/modules/2.2.15 -rf make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.15 The NOTE is for backup reasons and is only to be done this time and never again. Currently your kernel will at least allow you to boot into your machine so we keep a backup so if the new kernel you make has an option selected that crashes your laptop on bootup you can revert to the old one (by holding down Shift-Alt on boot up LILO will give you a prompt where you can type 'olinux' to boot your backup kernel) and then be able to recompile kernels etc to fix the problem. now edit you /etc/lilo.conf file to say something like making sure the boot, root and other variables say what they did in your current version of /etc/lilo.conf (if you want your DOS partition to boot as the default one move all the information for 'other' to above the first 'image' column): --- boot=/dev/hda root=/dev/hda5 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=ask delay=0 image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.15 label = linux read-only image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.15o label = olinux read-only other = /dev/hda2 label = dos table = /dev/hda loader = /boot/chain.b --- type liloconfig and say y to altering your boot sectors, etc. Now to compile your pcmcia drivers. extract all your pcmcia source code to /usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.1.14 (or a similar version number) and inside it run make config select the options you need, usually in this order: /usr/src/linux n y y /lib/modules/2.2.15 now type make install After some time the modules should be all installed and you will be given a command prompt again. Cross your fingers and reboot. When you reboot you will see a menu you haven't seen before (for now select the standard vga mode (0 I think)). With this you should experiment (later though) to find a nice text mode you prefer to work with. Some won't display anything (so wait for you laptop to stop grinding its harddisk and then press Crtl-Alt-Delete), some will crash the laptop, others will look bad and one will look perfect especially on screen expansion. Remember this number and after you are happy with your kernel and pcmcia drivers edit the 'vga' bit in /etc/lilo.conf from 'ask' to the number you want. type 'liloconfig' and this prevents the menu from appearing and gives you the mode you want. If your kernel crashes then load the backup one (which should work, if not use a linux boot disk or cd to get in to make a new kernel) and recompile with options to fix your kernel. If everything seems okay (your pcmcia drivers should be fine) give yourself a pat on the back. now backup this kernel by typing cp /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.15 /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.15o liloconfig I have tried to be clear on these instructions however I'm sure that you will run into problems and so I'm here to help (just mail me and I'll see what I can do) however there are also lots of people here on the debian laptop list that I'm sure could help.

Changing my hard disk setup
At the moment my setup is like this: /dev/hda - 10G IDE hard disk Fujitsi - recently installed after a hard disk failure with Redhat which I only use to start up the system.(At that stage I did not have a Debian system ready to install). /dev/hdb - Ricoh MP 7040A CD-RW /dev/hdc - 8G IDE hard disk Fujitsi Containing my Debian system /dev/hdd - Acer CDROM The system is unstable and it is not uncommon that I have to reset a stalled computer complaining about timeout errors on either the CDROM or hard disk. At first I suspected either the cables or the motherboard. Using other cables did not improve the situation. After a reset I usually fiddle with the cables and then it works OK for a few days or even a few weeks. Recently somebody suggested that it may be my setup that is causing the problems and that it is better to have the two hard disks on the same cable and the two CDROM's on the other. To change the system to a setup like this: /dev/hda - 10Gig hard drive /dev/hdb - 8 Gig hard drive and the two CD ROMS on /dev/hdc and /dev/hdb requires changes in my /etc/fstab and lilo. /etc/fstab is necessary for the system to shutdown properly. How can I do the switch-around and keep my debian working? I can not change /etc/fstab after shutting down and needs it with the next startup after I switched the setup. At the moment it seems to me the way to go is to edit debian's etc/fstab from Redhat with the debian partition mounted as as part of the Redhat's system. Or is there an easier way around? Are there other files besides lilo.conf and /etc/fstab that will be affected by such a change? Johann. -- J.H.

potato on 386
Hi there I have installed debian-frozen-base-system on my 386 via floppy and my local network. Beside a problem to load any modules wich I was able to fix all went fine. (I had to copy /etc/modules.conf to /target/etc/modules.conf cause it was missing from the start !) A bug ? It's the first time for me with debian and I'am quite impressed from what I've seen ! Now I have to wait until I got the CD's end of june. ( I hope. ) In the meantime I want to to learn how things work in debian comparded to RedHat, SuSe... The hardware is working (scsi, eth, arc0co, isdnco, sbpcd, lp's...) I also got mc running (copyed one by one from suse until the screen went blue) Now I want to know how to get deb-files to the disk. Still got an corel-image which I know its debian-based, mounted as an loop-device. I can browse the CD but I don't know how to install the files. I know it's maybe old stuff but to play around it is ok. The man-program is missing so I can't look at the man-pages on the disk :( The doc-files are all packed and not possible for me to view :( Is there anything I can do in the meantime ? Maybe first to get man running and/or copy some stuff from suse to be able to view the packed docu ? Or is it possible to get an easy acces to the corel-stuff ? I got 2 disks about 2Gig each so plenty of space. Well, it's not a real problem. If it's better/easier to wait for the real stuff, no problem. Thanks for any tips. -- Thomas

The libc6 on the boot-floppies is from package libc6-pic: Description: GNU C Library: PIC archive library Contains an archive library (ar file) composed of individual shared objects. This is used for creating a library which is a smaller subset of the standard libc shared library. The reduced library is used on the Debian boot floppies. If you are not making your own set of Debian boot floppies using the `boot-floppies' package, you probably don't need this package. But I suggest using the yard package to create the boot-floppy set. And you can regain the space lost because using the standard libc by formatting the floppies at a higher capacity (eg.1743K).

Many of us using Linux would be producing drivers for cheaper and therefore, older equipment. This is because Linux and it's users have not been franchised like those using Microsoft. Microsoft has a vast corporate base buying it's products. Therefore, hardware vendors have been writing for or bundling Bill's OS in with their products. Till now. I am switching our LAN at work from Windows NT 4 to Debian Linux with the help of one of the Debian gurus. I am lucky I work for a company that affords me the opportunity to build a server from scratch with no monetary restrictions. As more of us do this, more drivers will be written for the newer, more expensive hardware beyond the reach of the average home Linux user. Hardware companies will want to insure drivers are available for Linux because of Linux's growing popularity. But I think it is a tribute to Linux that it is growing, not with corporate bucks and big equipment - but with people who know their stuff and not motivated by money. The best equipment, well, it's the stuff within reach that gets the job done. Lets face it, there is something in the fact that Linux *will* run on a 386. Try that with Windows NT! Just my two cents.

Re: Tulip ethernet performance issues
On Sun, May 28, 2000 at 12:53:32PM +1000, Damon Muller wrote Hi gang, I know that this has come up on the list recently, but I haven't really seen anything that has helped me solve this little problem. I have a couple of tulip-based ethernet cards (I think they are made by Acton, and may certainly be re-badged), one in my Debian box and one in my win98 box. They are connected together by an 8-port 10/100 switch (specifically a LanTech MINI Switch 800 (8 port 10/100 Base-TX Switch) according to the front panel). The performance that I'm getting through this network is significantly less than I'd be expecting. In fact, it seems to be slower than the 10M hub that I had previously. I've just transfered a fairly large file from my Linux machine to my Win98 machine using the Win98 FTP client (the console based one), and here is what it said when it finished: 370238462 bytes recieved in 1872.52 secs 197.72 Kbytes/sec. With only 2 pcs, both with 10/100 tulip cards, over a 100M switch, I would have expected a much better transfer rate. (there is nothing else connected to the switch).

On my machine at work, with has a 3Com 509 which is also attached to a switch, with 3.5million packets transfered, there has not been a single error or collision (There should never be a collision with a switch, should there? I though that was the idea!). Can anyone suggest any possible solutions? Is it likely the card is dodgy (it worked fine, and fast with a 100M hub that I had, but I couldn't attach my laptop to that, as it only had a 10M pcmcia card), or might it be an interaction between the card and the hub? Is it work shelling out for a new card? You should take a long, hard look at your cables. At 100M cables that work fine at 10M can turn your data to mush. Verify that they are genuine CAT5, and if you have the opportunity verify that they give satisfactory performance at 100M with different gear; even if the cable is CAT5, poor terminations or connectors can kill them.

Re: Best hardware?
Well, like I said the vast majority of Win9X only hardware works very poorly even in Win9x Not from my experiences. Printers generally work well. Monitors generally work well. Mice/keyboards generally work well. Now I need to know how they work on the Linux end. I love trackballs and Logitech's Trackman Marble FX is just perfect for me, but unfortunately there isn't much support for it on Linux besides left/right click and using one of the two extra buttons as a third button. It wouldn't make sense for me to buy that trackball specifically for a Linux desktop when I can't even have the benefits of its four buttons. That's why it'd be nice to see a site with a general overview of this type of stuff so I know what my options are in terms of multi-button trackballs with configurable extra buttons along with the same type of thing for printers, scanners, etc. I've never been very impressed with those types of sites and certainly wouldn't take their recomendataions too seriously even if I were only interested in Windows. I wouldn't use them as a definite source, but they're certainly a great starting point. Another good thing is www.epinions.com . I wouldn't mind seeing a central place where I could turn to to look up hardware on Linux. Right now there's a scatter of sites and howtos and manuals. latest Abit motherboard (for example) than any reviewer Cnet has to offer.

Re: window-managers

Previously, in slink, I had setup my window-managers file to start kde by default but now I get fvwm2 when I type startx. Why is this? The file still points to kde as the first option - is there a different config file for this in potato? Potato now uses the alternatives system to configure the default window manager. Basically it's bunch of symlinks. First, you have /usr/bin/x-window-manager which points to /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager which points to the real window manager. The easy way to update this system is to run update-alternatives --config x-window-manager as root. It should list all of the available (or registered) window managers from which you can select. If you have compiled a window manager in /usr/local then the system won't know about it and you'll need to register this window manager. Confused? You can try to decipher the man pages for update-alternatives... (Despite the somewhat confusing system, it now brings X in line with many other programs that provide a generic something, like editor, emacs, web server, etc...) -- ¶ One·should·only·use·the·ASCII·characterset·when·compos » ing·email·messages.

Re: Everybuddy
hi, instead of trying to download it from the everybuddy site in tar format or maybe from source, just download everybuddy from the debian ftp site since everybuddy has been already been packaged for debian install it via dpkg -i everybuddy_ver_no_etc or you can install it thru apt if you have apt set up correctly. apt-get install everybuddy (as root) would be the command.

In other words boot directly into a '$' prompt but requiring a password for root. I'm using shadow passwords. Thanks, kent Yes, but it's an unspeakably evil and twisted thing to do, if it involves bypassing password protections on the user account. Let's put it this way: I can think of several ways you might do this, but I'd be far more comfortable knowing what it is you're trying to accomplish, and whether or not you're aware of alternatives or the potential downside implications, before I provide any advice. [Note: quoting style -- newest to bottom is common with Linux. Tends to reduce quotation as respondant has to actually scroll to bottom of post. In any event, once a quoting style has been adopted, it's considered preferable to continue appending to *either* bottom or top of post, but not both ends. So it has finally happened, I have become 'evil and twisted' it must be the radiation emanating off these three computer screens;) I am simply lazy and tiered of logging in on my personal computers. My current session's been up for something near a month: 4:10pm up 39 days, 14:20, 19 users, load average: 2.13, 2.58, 2.67 ...OTOH, if I leave monitor for more than a couple of minutes, a password-protected screensaver cuts in. Among other things, keeps my cat's walking on the keyboard from doing anything nasty. Securing systems is generally a good thing. Also in learning how to 'remove the logging in process' I would learn more about using Linux. If you would help me out with this I would appreciate it. Feel free to expound upon 'alternatives and potential downsides' to configuring an account this way as I'm always eager to learn more. The problem with disabling password protection entirely is that you then open your system up to anyone who knows your IP and username. You've removed all authentication. So you don't want a null password for *any* account on *any* system connected to *any* network, *ever*. Period. What happens when you do log in is that you're either at a text screen (console) or graphical one (GUI), with a username and password prompt. A program is running whose one sole task in life is to find out who you are and whether you belong here. Usually mingetty or getty (console), or an X display manager (xdm, wdm, gdm, kdm, etc.dm), for X. These are spawned by either /etc/inittab or an rc.d script such as /etc/rc5.d/S99wdm. If you want to provide *local only* unsecured access to your system, you could tweak your box to launch a shell to a virtual console, or to launch an X session under a user's ID. The utility of this is questionable, and again, potential problems serious. You're bypassing something which really is there to protect you. -- Karsten M.
