xsession errors
No se si este es el lugar adecuado para preguntar algo nivel novato. Pero espero que alguien me pueda ayudar. No puedo iniciar una session en X por que me salen los siguientes mensajes de error: (~$USER_NAME/.xsessionerrors) == Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server xrdb: Can't open display ':0' Xlib: connection to :0.0 refused by server xmodmap: unable to open display ':0' /usr/bin/X11/WindowMaker fatal error: could not open display :0 == Que permisos son los que pueden estar mal? tengo que poner setuid algun archivo? cual?

Vale, esto ya esta hecho, y las visualizo correctamente. He visto que type1inst tiene la opcion -samples, que genera unos ficheros ps con muestras de las fuentes, si lo veo en modo texto, encuentro: /Futura Md BT findfont y a continuacion cosas relativas a lo que se va a imprimir, por supuesto, la impresion de estos ficheros sale correcta, presentando la fuente que dice que es. Sin embargo desde Netscape, imprimiendo hacia un fichero, en el ps generado solo existe lineas findfont para Times, Helvetica y Courier, aunque en el html de origen existan selecciones de fuentes (font-face) y estas, se visualicen correctamente en el navegador. No se si esto se puede configurar en el Netscape, estoy usando la 4.73 descargada de la pagina de Netscape, pero supongo que el que viene con woody o con potato sera el mismo. Saludos.
Programilla para Zmailer
Buenas... después de mucho tiempo de no pasarme por la lista... :))) Veamos... Me han pedido un programa que, teniendo una base de datos, mysql o postgresql, coja y cada vez que entra un emilio al server MTA, lo guarde en una de éstas dos bases de datos. Luego, para colmo, quiere que haga lo mismo cuando el usuario se conecte al pop para mirar el correo (yo flipo), osea, que se coja el correo, pero directamente de la base de datos donde lo tiene guardado. Yo tengo instalado el Zmailer. Me han comentado que existe un módulo para sendmail, llamado "sendmail-mysql", que te permite hacer ésto (sólo la parte de recepción -smtp-). Estaría dispuesto a cambiar de MTA, pero NO a Sendmail. Como mucho a Postfix o Qmail (siguiendo éste orden). Agradecería muchísimo algún comentario al respecto. Have a nice day ;-) TooManySecrets

Matrox Dualhead G400
Tengo una matrox dualhead G400 y en el sitio de Matrox hay un link para bajar drivers para linux. La cuestion es que el xfree 3.3.6 soporta la placa pero estos drivers son para que tenga aceleracion 3D se llaman glx que es una libreria para el xfree. Yo lo instale y hasta ahora anda todo bien pero tengo unas dudas pues en un readme que tiene dice que hay que reservar 4M para esta librerias y que eso se hace con el lilo con un append y no recuerdo que comando lo que me parecio entender es que eso es para placas PCI pero para AGP no hacia falta, como mi ingles no es muy bueno no estoy seguro de eso. Despues lo que no consigo es encontrar algun programa para configurar el DUALHEAD que permanece desactivado segun algun otro readme que lei hay un programa que se llama matroxset pero no lo encuentro para nada con los fuentes del glx. Bueno espero no molestar tanto y desde ya gracias por adelantado. Saludos.

Re: Upgrade openssl .deb? or purge old ver and install new?
Well, I vote for wipe both clean, 'apt-get install' Woody's openssl-0.9.5a and build openssh-2.1.1p4 from source tomorrow morning. montefin looks at all the votes. Er...vote. H. I won! Somebody stop me! montefin montefin wrote: Hi, Just hoping for a little guidance before I upgrade both ssl and ssh. With a new (Potato-based, linux-2.2.16) firewall in place between my SDSL connection and my internal network, I now want to open a secure telnet connection (port 22) to and from the outside, and to close the regular telnet connection (port 23). To accomplish that, I've downloaded openssh-2.1.1p4 from http://www.openssh.com/. Since that requires openssl-9.9.5a, I also added http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free to my /etc/apt/sources.list so I can apt-get it. Currently, I have openssh-1.2.3-8, openssl-0.9.4-5, apache-ssl, and apache-perl on the firewall -- all installed via apt-get. I've run 3 apt-get simulations: 1.) apt-get --simulate install openssl -- which says it will upgrade openssl and add 1 required library, libssl095a. 2.) apt-get --simulate remove openssl -- which says it will remove apache-perl, apache-ssl and openssl, and install php3, apache-dev and apache-common. 3.) apt-get --simulate remove ssh -- which says it will just remove ssh. The only fly in the ointment (that I can see) is that I accepted the default expiration on the temporary certificate I made for apache-ssl back in April, so it has expired. --- Okay, here's my question(s): Since there is no .deb file (AFAICT) for openssh-2.1.1p4, I'm going to have to apt-get remove (or dpkg --purge) ssh anyway and install the new version from source. Would there be any advantage to going to the extra trouble of removing/purging and re-installing openssl, apache-ssl and apache-perl? Besides, that is, getting the opportunity to create new certificates and keys now that I know a little more about how to do that? Of course, if the openssl upgrade gave me the same opportunity, that would clinch it for me. And one bug-a-boo, I _know_ I have seen a version of the openssl tookit saying it _includes_ the ssh functionalities, but for the life of me I can't re-locate that source. Was I dreaming? Any guidance would be vastly appreciated -- especially if there are better, simpler ways to go about updating the security features on the firewall which, btw, is a 486DX, 64Mb RAM, 514Mb HDD machine running Potato on a 2.2.16 kernel (with vague notions of bumping up to 2.4.0-test5, which is humming along nicely on my P II box, because I _love_ them iptables).

Re: NE2k problem
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... Hi. I have a problem with my NE2000 PCI clone. Whenever I do an insmod on the module, it comes back with an `unresolved symbols' error. If anyone has tips out there it would be appreciated. What are the symbols? What's most likely happening is you're doing only an `insmod ne2k-pci`. You need to do one of two things: modprobe ne2k-pci or insmod 8390 insmod ne2k-pci to get your ethernet card to work. The unresolved symbols are coming from the low-level driver for the National Semiconductor 8390 (or compatible) microcontroller on the ethernet card. The low-level code is shared among about 10 ethernet card drivers (some 3com ISA cards, NE1k/NE2k, WD 80*3, 'prolly some others) that use the same microcontroller but have differing glue logic to send the microcontroller the commands. -- -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.

apsfilter and dselect
I'm having a hard time printing and decided to use dselect to load apsfilter. When dselect ran the configuration for apsfilter I noticed that several programs apsfilter used were not there. g3cut html2ps pnmtolps ras2ps recode bunzip compress melt pack Of this list, html2ps and recode I found on the potato directories and installed them. The rest, I'm not sure about. I couldn't find them. It occured to me that we should make suggested selections of these other programs when people install apsfilter. In-fact, I would have a tendency to make them actual dependency's of apsfilter. There was quite a list of them and these were the only ones missing. It also occured to me, either I don't know how to search for a program by name using dselect or there is not feature to search for a program by name using dselect. Finally, I wonder why these other software packages aren't in potato? I am assuming they are not as I didn't find them in 2 passes. Yet, this is only part of my current printing problem. I'm still having poor luck getting an ungarbled page from my printer. Tommorrow I think I will change some bios settings and see if that helps. Thanks Charlie

Additionally I wrote a little perl script that runs when I log in (started by kde) that will get mail if the network connection is up every 10 minutes. diald is a nice solution as you are not controlling connection. When fetchmail, or any other application requiring network access, is finished, diald will end the connection. diald allows one to do other things automatically also. I run leafnode so my machine is a USENET news server. leafnode gets the news in the middle of the night and I can read it from a local disk whenever I want to and not have to put up with downloading news in real time.

2.2 kernel and frozen
Hi, I've just upgraded to the 2.2 (2.2.16 I think) kernel, and have a couple of questions: 1. How come there is a debian package for 2.2.17, but all I could find on ftp.kernel.org is 2.2.16? 2. If I compile as bzImage, I get an error on booting after uncompressing the kernel. It either gives a memory error, out of memory, or just reboots at this point. If I compile a zImage it's fine. Any ideas? Many thanks. Andy

Potato Install Problem (Base System Step)
Hi, I have been trying to install a copy of Potato, from last Sunday (July . The install is causing problems - first it gave me a bad lenght error when unzipping and installing the kernel and drivers (drivers.tgz). I solved this by copying the CD to a linux partition on another hard drive (not really sure why this worked...). But it will not install the Base System. I have tried from the hard drive and the CD, and each time it seems to be loading and reading information, and then it returns to the install menu with Install Base System selected again. If I select Configure Base System, it says that the Base system has not been installed. I know that at least one other person on thi slist has had this problem. Anyone else? Any suggestions? Would it help to update the Base2_2.tgz file? Is this a problem with the installer? Thanks, JP Montse Rue JP Glutting [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sawfish GNOME control center problem
Hi everyone, I seem to be having a problem with Sawfish's GNOME capplets: unlike all other capplets, Sawfish's capplets always require me to press Try before pressing OK to actually make the changes have any effect. Otherwise, they are silently ignored, as if I had pressed Cancel. On all machines other than this one, the Sawfish capplets work in the expected manner; i.e., pressing OK makes the changes take effect. I have had this problem for some time, and I now have the latest Sawfish .debs (0.30.2). I am using Helix GNOME, and Debian woody. There are still some packages that are out-of-date, but I doubt they will fix the problem, since it has existed for quite a while now, and it seems specific to this machine, suggesting a configuration problem. Does anyone know of any configuration files that might cause this..? Any help in figuring out this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Debian + Windows98 on the same large disk problem

(I never wanted to install this Win98 stuff on my machine but job matters force...) I repartitioned the hard disk using slink Debian's cfdisk into a first FAT32 partition of 12GB and 3 more partitions (second is 12GB BSD, and the other two, 10 and 5GB Linux). For the cfdisk to work properly with my large disk, I had to specify the disk geometry that FreeBSD's fdisk returned to me. Following that I installed Windows98 on the first partition of 12GB. I checked with the Windows98 fdisk program, and indeed it finds the 4 partitions mentioning that the 3 last ones are non-DOS. The problem is that when I use the Windows explorer to see what is the available space for my C drive (FAT32 partition), I get that available for C are 39GB, i.e. the whole of my hard disk and not just the FAT32 partition. Despite that, it reports the C volume label to be the same name as that reported by the Windows98 fdisk! So, I wonder what is happening? Is it just a bug in the Windows Explorer or the actual Windows will expand further than their allocated 12GB partition when they have no space and delete my Debian and FreeBSD stuff when I install them there? Has anyone installed both Debian and Windows98 on the same large disk and came across anything similar? Cheers Dimitris You should see fdisk(8), section DOS 6.x WARNING. Success, Pavel

If you want the following: Given a binary (or text) file A and a variant of it A', generate a patch delta(A,A') representing the differences. Then you can use xdelta. With xdelta, you can construct and apply such binary patches. diff is also used to generate human-comprehensible differences, and I'm not aware of a tool for doing this for binary files. I'm not sure such a program would be useful, but it probably would be for certain kinds of files. For example, a diff that worked on (mostly) text-based files, but used a character-based approach rather than a line-based one could be very useful. At one point algorithms for this weren't feasible (hence the line-based nature of diff), but IIRC, there's at least one algorithm which generates minimal differences in linear time (or thereabouts), for some definition of minimal, so it ought to be usable at the byte level. Thank you all a lot. I have already been told aboult xdelta (and read its manual); moreover I think a have seen something with more features (like recusing into directories). I have what I need.

Getting mail to recognise multiple identities
A week ago or so, I posted the list asking for a nice way to get my mail client to send out from different apparent users - I hve my academic job, my consulting job, my start-up, my personal stuff. All these need different signatures and headers, and I was getting bored of doing it all by hand. Someone pointed me to Pine. After a week of use, it seems to me this is a _really_ nice solution to these problems. It has many qualities as a mailer (nice text UI, works great via telnet, is _very_ customisable) and it seems to sort out the multiple ideniites problem nicely. Too bad that copyright problems make it unDebianisable. ___ Tony Curzon Price ESRC Centre for Economic Learning and Social Evolution (ELSE) University College London Fax/Mail +44 (0)70921 27178 http://price.econ.ucl.ac.uk

I also do not understand the difference between gdm vs xdm, gnome-panel, gnome-session. When I apt-get gnome I get not found. When I search on the forzen packages for gnome I do not get the gdm, gnome-session, or gnome-panel packages. So, what are my choices and how do I implement the choices?

All these need different signatures and headers, and I was getting bored of doing it all by hand. For anyone else interested, Ishmail is a GUI email app (MUA) which also facilitates multiple identities. All you need to do is get Ishmail to add an X-Identity header which is displayed (if you wish) at the top of the 'Compose' window underneath 'Subject'. You add an identifying name in the X-Identity box. If I add 'gsmh' Ishmail looks for a folder called 'gsmh' in my home directory. In that folder I have three files: '.headers', '.from' and '.signature'. You just need to put into each file whatever you want to appear on emails from that particular identity. Once it is set up it is really simple. You should be able to see the new X-Identity header in this posting. If you would like a GUI alternative to Pine, you might like to give Ishmail a try. Ishmail was a commercial app but is now in the public domain and under active development. It is based on Motif and compiles cleanly against the now free OpenMotif. An excellent, fully featured product! The new Ishmail web site is: http://ishmail.sourceforge.net/ -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux

On the ThinkPad, Fn-F4 and Fn-F12 generate system suspends and so do the tpctl --suspend and tpctl --hibernate commands; we don't want apmd_proxy to ignore these. I have filed a bug report against the apmd package with the above information. The reason it is important for the /etc/apm/event.d/* scripts to be run on suspend or hibernate is that, at present, sound programs must be stopped in order to prevent them from generating terrible noises after the resume, before the ALSA drivers have had a chance to reprogram the sound chip registers. The /etc/apm/event.d/alsa script in the current woody alsa-base package does just this. It is to be hoped that someday in the future the ALSA driver itself will gag playback on suspend and un-gag it on resume so that the /etc/apm/event.d/alsa script won't be necessary. (I have asked the alsa developers to implement this gagging. My latest info is that IBM has paid LinuxCare to modify the ALSA drivers for its upcoming ThinkPad T20 with Caldera Linux preload, and that the resulting mods will be fed back to the ALSA project. Good news.)

Problems compiling kernel...

What could be happening? Many thanks, Jason.
