Re: Podrian ayudarme a cofigurar mi tarjeta de sonido?
Utilizando make menuconfig coloco soporte para la tarjeta de sonido con chipset es1370 (la ayuda me sugiere verificar si tengo ese chip, lo hago y todo bien, es el chip). Instalo el sonido como modulos solo la es1370 y salgo del menuconfig. ¿Que debo debo hacer para que lel sonido funcione? 1.- Primero, y solo por las moscas, asegúrate de tener el módulo es1370.o en /lib/modules/2.2.12/misc/ Si está ya has hecho lo más dificil. 2.- ahora tienes que configurar el módulo e instalarlo. Para instalarlo tienes que hacer: # modprobe es1370 Si no te dice nada o no da error, prueba a hacer: # lsmod que te dirá los módulos que tienes cargados en memoria y el es1370 debería aparecer por algún lado. Si aparece, ya deberias tener sonido. Prueba a hacer: # cat /proc/sound y ahí deberia aparecer tu tarjeta de sonido.

Re: problemas con psutils
Jaime E. Villate [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Ahora si está clarísimo. Para que te salga bien en gv basta con corregirle la Bounding Box; para lograr imprimirlo el problema es que conviene mantener tu impresora configurada para A4 (pues es una impresora A4) y colocar el contenido A5 en la parte apropiada de la página A4. Lo que pasa es que según la forma como imprima la impresora y como esté construída la bandeja de papel, será necesario aprovechar una de las cuatro esquinas de la hoja A4. El programa pasresize debería tener una opción que permita mover el contenido para cualquier esquina; me pondré a modificar el psresize, pero mientras lo hago, te mando una solución rápida (script perl de 11 líneas adjunto) para tu caso que parece que lo único que necesitas es subir 9cm la página A5.

Gracias por el interes. Te cuento lo siguiente: Cambie al nucleo 2.2.16 hoy. Baje los tar.gz de alsa-drivers, alsa-lib y alsa-utils. El primero que instalo es alsa-drivers. aqui se me recomienda no colocar en el nucleo ninguna tarjeta, solamente soporte para sonido. Baje este ultimo de alsa pues aqui se soporta especificamente la tarjeta audiopci 1370 que es la que yo tengo. No utilizo los *.deb pues debo cambiar una cantidad de librerias para que soporten alsa-utils-0.5.8a.deb (no se como bajar de un solo tiron un archivo arrastrando sus dependencias). Pero se supone que los tar.gz deberian funcionar (pensandolo bien deberia bajar los *.deb y asi me mato menos la cabeza) Instalo los drivers y aparece despues de la orden modprobe snd-card-ens1370 y la orden lsmod --- snd-card-ens13701700 0 (unused) snd-ens137010156 0 [snd-card-ens1370] snd-rawmidi10392 0 [snd-ens1370] snd-seq-device 3236 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd-ak4531-codec 16244 0 [snd-ens1370] snd-pcm35520 0 [snd-ens1370] snd-timer 9972 0 [snd-pcm] snd-mixer 28196 0 [snd-ens1370 snd-ak4531-codec] snd41140 1 [snd-card-ens1370 snd-ens1370 snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-ak4531-codec snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mixer] soundcore 2204 2 [snd] nls_cp437 3668 2 (autoclean) vfat9084 1 fat29432 1 [vfat] Voy bien o mal. o Es necesario bajarme los alsa~.deb.

Env Variables
hi i set the environmental variable below to dynamically change my xterm window to title to the current working directory. export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne \033]2;${USER}: ${PWD}\007' this works really well when i login in X, but when i login from the console my system beeps every time since \007 is the bell character. is the a variable i can check that would tell me whether i'm running from X or from the console, so i can conditionally set the PROMPT_COMMAND variable? thanks

package versions in dselect, and Release file
What are the packaging frontends (dselect in particular) supposed to do when 2 sources from sources.list provide different version numbers of the same package? I have a potato system, but I downloaded a couple of upgraded packages from woody and placed them in a local mirror directory. I generated the Packages files with dpkg-scanpackages. That went fine, so I added a deb file: line for the local mirror to sources.list and run dselect. In the Select phase I could see the newer versions as available. I selected them. But the Install phase ignored my local mirror, tried to download the updates from the potato archive, and failed. I noted while dselect was hitting the sources it said something like deb file:/foo/bar Release Ignored Of course, I don't have a Release file in the mirror directory. Is that necessary for it to be recognized as a worthy source? If so, how do I generate one; dpkg-scanpackages doesn't.

Re: annoucement: auto-login patch for xdm
I agree, we could start xdm in rnlevel 3 and su someuser startx in runlevel 4. Great,I'll keep an eye and try it as soon as it's done.Thanks. why do you want to wait? ;-) i attached my auto-login script again. now it has the auto-relogin problem nicely solved. if the server crashes, then the session will be restarted immediately. if you exit cleanly, then you have to press enter to log in again (it is done by a read command. so you could even use this input to perform a command, eg, you could make it accept halt, if you want). put the script in /etc/init.d then run: update-rc.d -f xdm remove update-rc.d -f xdm start 99 3 . stop 01 0 1 2 4 5 6 . update-rc.d -f autologon start 99 4 . stop 01 0 1 2 3 5 6 . this way you get the following runlevels: 1: normal single-user 2: multi-user without x login 3: multi-user with xdm login 4: multi-user with x auto-login 5: ? and here is, how to make it with my xdm patch (http://www.inf.tu-dresden.de/~ob6/unix/xautolog.html): cd /etc/X11/xdm cp xdm-config xdm-config-al edit xdm-config-al - add the auto-login options (see home page) cd /etc/init.d cp xdm xdm-al edit xdm-al: - change start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pid $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON || echo -n already running to start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pid $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON -- -config /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config-al || echo -n already running the following hack is necessary, because we must give xdm enough time to exit before it is started again (with the different config): edit rc: - add sleep 1 before the line # Now run the START scripts for this runlevel. (line 72 on my system) update-rc.d -f xdm remove update-rc.d -f xdm start 99 3 . stop 01 0 1 2 4 5 6 . update-rc.d -f xdm-al start 99 4 . stop 01 0 1 2 3 5 6 . have fun! :-) -- Hi!

muttzilla -- bus error -- help building libc5 MZ from sources?

Ctrl-C and normal kill doesn't work.
This frustrating little problem... When having a running process, ctrl-c or kill doesn't work on my system. You have to use kill -9. A simple example: ping 127.0.0.1 this process is meant to run as long as you want, then you ctrl-c it to get your statistics. However, ctrl-c doesn't work. No reaction whatsoever, the program just keeps on running. So I have to ctlr-z it to reclaim my command line, then kill -9. Normal kill is likewise. No reaction, no error messages, the process just keeps on running. It affects all programs as far as I can see. I'm using debian 2.1 (slink. Long story and a slow connection.) with the latest updates, gnome-icewm and bash. Sure gnome is marked experimental here, but.. Where could the problem be? Kernel? It's a customized debian-source-2.0.38 kernel, but the most exceptional thing about *that* is ip-masquerading support.

Mouse in deep doo-doo; Debian 2.2 from Libranet
Hello the list: Installed with mouse at /dev/psaux, ran for many days, installed several packagesl including a lng run of helixcode. Mouse began dying and maybe cursor would reappear someplace and maybe move when moving the mouse to and fro. Switched to Win95 and got the same erratic mouse behavior. Cleaned it up to no avail and finally switched the mouse to com1. Works fine in W95. Libranet installs a login screen. Edited the mouse config to /dev/ttyS0. The login screen does not respond to the mouse or the keyboard with the mouse plugged into the serial port. I have to reset the machine to get out of this. Moving the mouse back to the ps/2 port allows a login but, of course, the mouse is still not usable. Can boot to maintenance mode with 'Linux single'. Default runlevel is set to 2 in inittab. Changed it to 5, trying to kill the login screen. Is this a Libranet or a Debian problem? Is there an out or do I just have to re-install and get on with it?

gpm and X incompatible? (potato)
I'm using X 3.3.6-8 with xserver-svga 3.3.6-8 and tdfx-dri 4.0.00-2 (through alien) and gpm 1.17.8-16.1 with a 3dfx framebuffer at 1024x768-60 on a 3dfx Voodoo3 2000 with a PS/2 mouse on /dev/psaux. After X is started, and I switch back to tty1, no textual output occurs (by typing, by program output, and by switching amongst tty[0-9]+) and lines one pixel tall and about an inch wide of random colors are drawn going from left to right and from top to bottom starting from about the middle of the screen, and the mouse does not work in X. Killing gpm (through gpm -k and /etc/init.d/gpm stop) makes the mouse work in X and fixes the display problems in the framebuffer. Does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this?
safe to use woody packages in potato?
I'm running potato. Is it safe (read, won't screw up the installation) to change the lines in sources.list to refer to woody as well as potato, so that I use a newer version if it's in woody and an older one if it's only in potato? I'm not significantly concerned about problems with the packages themselves (I'm running 2.4.0-test2, why not unstable Debian); I just wanted to make sure that the differences between potato and woody are just package differences and don't require a special process to use the newer packages. Are there any caveats with doing this? (It's difficult for me to recover from an unbootable Linux on this box.)

Don't know for sure, but based on experience I'd say they use the latest (and greates?) version. I have a potato system, but I downloaded a couple of upgraded packages from woody and placed them in a local mirror directory. I generated the Packages files with dpkg-scanpackages. That went fine, so I added a deb file: line for the local mirror to sources.list and run dselect. In the Select phase I could see the newer versions as available. I selected them. But the Install phase ignored my local mirror, tried to download the updates from the potato archive, and failed. Make sure your local archive is mentioned before the rest. I maintain a local mirror but it is usually lagging a bit behind (especially with unstable). If your sources.list says something like: deb file:/pub/debian unstable main deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main your packaging frontends should use the latest version and apt-get will look in the local mirror first and only contact the official archive if it can't find the version the frontend is looking for. I noted while dselect was hitting the sources it said something like deb file:/foo/bar Release Ignored Of course, I don't have a Release file in the mirror directory. Is that necessary for it to be recognized as a worthy source? If so, how do I generate one; dpkg-scanpackages doesn't. Or is there something else wrong with what I'm trying? You don't need a Release file in your mirror, but if you want to shut up apt a bit just look in /var/state/apt/lists/ and copy the relevant Release file to your local mirror. -- Olaf Meeuwissen Epson Kowa Corporation, Research and Development

Re: How to rebuild from .deb sources (exim)
I got open ldap and a bunch of other packages and was able to rebuild (except I kept getting complaints about PGP keys at the end; I tried the options to turn off signing, but they didn't seem to take). Crunch time comes when I try to use the perl I put in. Was there any particular gotcha that caused you to leave it out, or was it just the desire to avoid extra junk? I recall I had to fiddle a little to get it to hook up with perl--specifically it wanted to include all the dbm library variants and I didn't have them all. I imagine that might be a little tricky to automate, since the line is auto-generated in the middle of the build process.

It's a Debian addition, and fairly simple, so I guess the main documentation won't mention it. No, the main documentation wouldn't mention it, because it's not part of exim itself, but implemented as a rewrite rule in the configuration file: the main documentation would allow you to work out what the rewrite rule did if you looked at the config file.

Re: ssh deb not installing correctly

I had the same problem installing ssh on one of my stripped down machines that hadn't been updated for a few months. There are a couple of problems that my unexpert eyes found in the /var/lib/dpkg/info/ssh.postinst script... 1) Apparently it tries to grab values from debconf that aren't defined and this results in your error 10 being propgated up in the script 2) at the end there is db_stop command that just doesn't seem exist. In another thread someone mentioned that this needs to be wrapped in some sort of test.. I just hacked the script around to get it to stop complaining. I attached the script that at least allowed me to get past the annoying error. As far as I can tell what I did is make ssh emulate the behavior when debconf isn't installed. It may format your drive or send a copy of all your emails to fbi.gov for all I know.. Hope this helps?

DPKG ERROR
Hello Group, I was trying to install ssh and would get an error E: Sub-Process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1). So I thought to upgrade DPKG (oh yeah I was running slink and upgraded to potato when this started to happen). Well after trying tp upgrade dpkg I got the same error message. No matter what I try to install with apt-get install I get the same error message. How can I fix this? I have posted some of the error message befare but I will resend some of them. thanks group -- If Windows is the answer, then I want the problems back!

RE: Mouse in deep doo-doo; Debian 2.2 from Libranet
Responding to my own post FWIW to the list. Here is a reply from Libranet support. Certainly like their style. Yes, it sounds like the ps2 port may be the problem (as per your latter email) To change the Linux settings: Because of the freeze when you boot up you will need to boot into 'single user mode' To reboot in single user mode: Reboot your system, and at the 'LILO' prompt press 'CAPS LOCK' Now at the 'LILO boot:' prompt type in: Linux single and press enter. Now in single user mode: Switch to the console CTRL-ALT F1 login as root and run gpmconfig Do you want to change anything (Y/n)? Y Do you want to run gpm's mouse-test program (Y/n)? n Where is your mouse [/dev/mouse]? enter /dev/ttyS0 as the device if your mouse is on COM1 or /dev/ttyS1 if the mouse is on COM2 What type is your mouse (or help) [ps2]? ms Set the responsiveness (normally not needed) []? press enter Repeat protocol (enter 'none' to turn repeating off) []? none Do you want to add any additional arguments etc. press enter Reboot the machine. Again switch to the console as above and login as root, then run 'adminmenu' choose 'reconfigure X' do NOT accept the existing file as defaults The mouse should be working, do not change anything in the mouse section. Setup your video card as you did before. See the install guide. I hope that solves your problem. Regards, Tal -- ___ Linux by Libranet - The TOP Desktop http://www.libranet.com = Original Message From Bill Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] = Hello the list: Installed with mouse at /dev/psaux, ran for many days, installed several packagesl including a lng run of helixcode. Mouse began dying and maybe cursor would reappear someplace and maybe move when moving the mouse to and fro. Switched to Win95 and got the same erratic mouse behavior. Cleaned it up to no avail and finally switched the mouse to com1. Works fine in W95. Libranet installs a login screen. Edited the mouse config to /dev/ttyS0. The login screen does not respond to the mouse or the keyboard with the mouse plugged into the serial port. I have to reset the machine to get out of this. Moving the mouse back to the ps/2 port allows a login but, of course, the mouse is still not usable. Can boot to maintenance mode with 'Linux single'. Default runlevel is set to 2 in inittab. Changed it to 5, trying to kill the login screen. Is this a Libranet or a Debian problem? Is there an out or do I just have to re-install and get on with it?

Re: GDM and gdmchooser
Hi Scott, Quoth Scott Graves, How do I invoke the gdmchooser in order to choose which host I wish to login to? I can't seem to get this feature to work. Last time I tried to do this myself (a few months ago, admittedly), I discovered that the chooser functionality didn't work and had been removed. I have no idea if it has been re-implemented. OTOH, plain XDM works great as a chooser, it's just *really* ugly. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) / It's not a sense of humor. * Criminologist / It's a sense of irony * Webmeister / disguised as one. * Linux Geek / - Bruce Sterling - Running Debian GNU/Linux: Doing my bit for World Domination (tm) - pgpkqLhaLRHZA.pgp Description: PGP signature

RE: Capturing terminal contents
Don't. OK Images suck, are *way* bandwidth and storage intensive, and will piss off most of us, resulting in zero help at best and killfiling at worst. And it was too hard, anyway. Console (xterm) output is plain old ASCII. Cut and paste the text. You can do so by highlighting (left mouse button) and dumping it (middle mouse button, use both left right simultaneously on 2-button mice, may require modifications to /etc/X11/XF86Config). For a long sequence of commands and output, use script. $ script # output saved to named file or typescript by default $ some-command $ some-other-command $ different-command $ ^D # Use: ctrl-D to end script file. For short commands and such, redirect or tee output: $ some-funky-command logfile $ some-funky-command | tee logfile For more info: $ man script $ man tee Appreciate the help.

Re: package versions in dselect, and Release file
Olaf == Olaf Meeuwissen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: itz I have a potato system, but I downloaded a couple of upgraded itz packages from woody and placed them in a local mirror directory. itz I generated the Packages files with dpkg-scanpackages. That went itz fine, so I added a deb file: line for the local mirror to itz sources.list and run dselect. In the Select phase I could see itz the newer versions as available. I selected them. But the itz Install phase ignored my local mirror, tried to download the itz updates from the potato archive, and failed. Olaf Make sure your local archive is mentioned before the rest. I Olaf maintain a local mirror but it is usually lagging a bit behind Olaf (especially with unstable). If your sources.list says something Olaf like: Olaf deb file:/pub/debian unstable main deb Olaf http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main It is not this simple; in fact, I think there's an out-and-out bug. I'll report it when I have some time to waste. The problem is that apt-get update and apt-get install (also upgrade, etc.) make mutually inconsistent assumptions about the structure of the mirror directory. Suppose the entry in sources.list reads deb file:/usr/local/src/debs localdebs main non-free Then apt-get update looks for /usr/local/src/debs/dists/localdebs/{main,non-free}/binary-i386/Packages but apt-get install pysol looks for /usr/local/src/debs/main/binary-i386/games/pysol_*.deb. I was only able to work around this by setting up the mirror as follows. /usr/local/src/debs---main ^ | | --non-free | | | --dists---localdebs-- || - This is related to the thread earlier this week about the semantics of a trailing slash on the deb URL.
