Hola a todos... Esto es un poco Off-Topic.

Re: Off-Topic: El termino libre en la página debian
El domingo 13 de agosto de 2000 a la(s) 20:21:01 -0500, Camilo Alejandro Arboleda contaba: Paseando por el sitio de debian, en la página donde se hace la definición de software libre aparece la siguiente traducción: Mi diccionario inglés lista diecisiete significados diferentes para libre. Sólo uno de ellos es sin coste ninguno. Me parece que este parrafo debería suprimirse, ya que en mi diccionario de español aparecen nueve definiciones del termino libre y *ninguna* se refiere a precio. Pero fíjate que el autor de ese párrafo ha buscado en un diccionario inglés, es decir, ha buscado la palabra free, que sí puede tener connotaciones relativas al precio. No ocurre así con libre en español, por eso tú no lo ves en tu diccionario. Por lo tanto me parece que la aclaración sobra. No se como se puede hacer oficial la propuesta, así que espero me lo indiquen. La aclaración puede sobrar en la traducción a los idiomas donde haya una palabra para gratis y otra para libre (por ejemplo el español), pero no en la traducción a los idiomas en los que ambos significados se recojan bajo el mismo término. Tampoco sobra en el texto original en inglés. -- Just do it. David Serrano [EMAIL PROTECTED]Linux 2.2.15 - Reg. User #87069 Hi! I'm a .signature virus!

(forw) Potato now stable
Debian 2.2 (potato) lançada. - Forwarded message from Anthony Towns aj@azure.humbug.org.au - Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2000 07:41:42 +1000 From: Anthony Towns aj@azure.humbug.org.au To: debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org Subject: Potato now stable Organisation: Lacking X-Mailing-List: debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org archive/latest/595 Hello world, Well, as some of you might have noticed: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/org/ftp.debian.org/ftp/dists$ ls -l Debian2.2r0 stable lrwxrwxrwx1 troupdebadmin6 Aug 14 13:06 Debian2.2r0 - stable lrwxrwxrwx1 troupdebadmin6 Aug 14 13:06 stable - potato CD images and the archive are being mirrored more or less as I type. So you can expect the prepared announcement to go out soon (it's scheduled for the official release time of 00:00 GMT). Some things that won't make the real announcement follow. First, some thanks are due to some of the people without whom potato wouldn't have made it through these final stages: * Branden Robinson, Ben Collins, Steve Gore, and Mike Renfro for tracking down and fixing some X problems at the 11th hour. * Daniel Jacobowitz, for somehow getting PowerPC support from shaky to first class, and tracking down and fixing problems right up until the 11th hour and fiftieth minute. * Ben Collins and Steve Gore, for making sure potato's sparc support is as good as possible, and tracking down and fixing problems right up until the 11th hour and fifty-fifth minute. * Martin Schulze, for tidying up some security fixes at very short notice. * Adam Di Carlo and Josip Rodin, for keeping our release notes as up to date as possible. * Phil Hands for getting complete CD sets up and mirrored almost as quick as you can say oh my god, cdimage.debian.org has crashed again! * James Troup, who kept the archive in tip-top shape throughout. By omission, this does a fairly impressive injustice to everyone else who helped with development, testing, fixing bugs, documenting problems and work arounds, giving support, and everything else everyone's done in the past months, so, well, thanks everyone! So that means we can start really focussing on the next release: woody. Well, after focussing on partying like it's the year after 1999, perhaps. Once we get to woody, though, there are probably two things that are particularly worthwhile doing. As per usual, we should probably have a few weeks discussing release goals for woody to see what sort of direction we want to head (and then going ahead and implementing whatever we feel like anyway). As well, (and here's where you might be able to pick up the fact I've been reading too many management books recently [0]), I think it's probably a good idea if we go over some of the things that went wrong this time and see what we can to fix them, and which things went right so we know to keep doing it. So, first, here's a rough idea of some of the things I think went wrong and right. (Technical followups to debian-devel@lists.debian.org) * Tasks are great, but task-* packages suck when some of the packages included have release critical bugs. (Remove the package, the entire task breaks) * boot-floppies, kernels (and modules), and release notes are all a pain to get uploaded and installed. * Working out which bugs are really release-critical and fixing their severity so we know where we're at is overly time consuming. * Getting security updates installed is suboptimal: some don't get built properly; some don't get put in incoming for dinstall to process. * Testing updates to frozen is suboptimal: updates go into incoming, wait there for a while, get added to frozen, we discover they introduce as many release critical bugs as they solve, rinse, repeat. The wait for a while part is particularly suboptimal, but without it, it's not really a freeze. * boot-floppies needs huge amounts of time to get into a functional state: from November or so 1999 to June 2000 this time, roughly. * debian-cd scripts seem to be working great: the minimal rsync to update the images between test cycle three and the release seem to be working fine, and the separate non-us CD#1 seems like a great idea to me. * The autobuilders cope *really* well with most updates. The security team also seem to have perfected getting updates recompiles really quickly on all architectures when it's necessary too. All very impressive. There's probably lots more good things too, the above is probably hopelessly biassed towards the bad. In addition, here's my understanding of goals already being

If anyone wants to they can e-mail me direct at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Andrew Can you get to your CD-ROM from DOS only? Rather than trying to run boot.bat from a Windows icon, exit Windows with the MS-DOS Mode option. If the DOS drivers for your CD are in CONFIG.DOS (SYS) and AUTOEXEC.DOS (BAT), you should be able to access your CD-ROM drive directly and install from there. Alternatively, do the following: Create a directory on C: such as C:\DEBIAN. Place the files you mentioned in this directory instead of on the desktop. Also, you might want to include the resc1440.bin and drv1440.bin files. I'm not positive they're needed, but I THINK one or both of them is needed. Then, as above, instead of trying to run boot.bat from Windows, exit Windows into the MS-DOS Mode. Then cd \debian to get into the C:\DEBIAN directory, and then enter boot. That'll probably get you farther along. I think that when you run boot.bat from the desktop, Windows uses C:\WINDOWS as the working directory instead of C:\WINDOWS\[Profiles\UserName\]DESKTOP, which is why the installation can't find the files that it needs. Putting everything in C:\DEBIAN should solve this problem.

Also, I'm not sure if procmail will work with maildir. I also use Qmail, but have it deliver to mailboxes. So, the question is still open; Is there a utility to be run from cron to go through mailboxes and expire messages by deleting them or archive them by moving somewhere else? My setup is not exactly what you're looking for, but I'll describe it anyway, in the hope it might be useful. I use mutt to read mail, and configure mutt to move read mail out of my mailboxes and into ~/mail/spool/ and ~/mail/old/. The former for stuff I don't want to archive forever, the later for stuff I do. At 3 am each night, I run a little program that uses savelog, to rotate the old mailboxes for the day out of the way, into files name foo.1, foo.2, etc. For all the stuff in the ~/mail/spool/ directory, I delete foo.14 or so.

Re: using outgoing smtp server with mh (where's the fm? :)
On Mon, Aug 14, 2000 at 06:41:02PM -0400, Richard E. Hawkins wrote There's probably an easy, stock answer for this, but I'm not finding it. To keep the network folks happy, this machine needs to be incapable of sending mail on its own. I've reconfigured exim to deliver locally only, but I can't find what I need to do to have mail from mh sent to my outgoing smtp server with the appropriate name and password. Could someone point me to the fm I should rt? :) Rather than configuring exim to only deliver locally, you should configure it to send all non-local mail via a smarthost, and specify your outgoing smtp server as the smarthost. You can do this part easily enough using eximconfig. It may be possible to do this using mh alone but I'd be surprised if it went so far as to support smtp authentication on outgoing mail, which is an unusual requirement in the Unix world. Connecting to an outgoing SMTP server amounts to Sending mail on its own; I suspect that they mean sending mail directly to outside hosts, or via hosts other than their outgoing SMTP server, so using exim with them as a smarthost shouldn't be a problem (just make sure you aren't an open relay). Because your outgoing server requires authentication, you should read the section of the exim docs that deals with this (SMTP Authentication). You will need to find out what authorization type your smtp server uses, and configure exim to use appropriate credentials for that server (AFAICT the standard Potato exim supports the MD5 and PlainText authentication methods). I haven't done this myself (I've never seen the point of SMTP authentication, except perhaps to work around braindamaged systems that have no other way of controlling connections), but it seems to be reasonably well documented in the exim-doc package.

Rather than trying to run boot.bat from a Windows icon, exit Windows with the MS-DOS Mode option. If the DOS drivers for your CD are in CONFIG.DOS (SYS) and AUTOEXEC.DOS (BAT), you should be able to access your CD-ROM drive directly and install from there. Alternatively, do the following: Create a directory on C: such as C:\DEBIAN. Place the files you mentioned in this directory instead of on the desktop. Also, you might want to include the resc1440.bin and drv1440.bin files. I'm not positive they're needed, but I THINK one or both of them is needed. Then, as above, instead of trying to run boot.bat from Windows, exit Windows into the MS-DOS Mode. Then cd \debian to get into the C:\DEBIAN directory, and then enter boot. If your CDROM isn't an IDE or SCSI CDROM, or it's connected to an ISA/PNP card, then you'll definitely need rescue.bin and the file drivers.tgz, so that you can load the driver required for your CDROM and continue from there via CDROM. You may also want to consider putting base2_2.tgz there, so that you don't have to rely on your CDROM drive to install the base system. That'll probably get you farther along. I think that when you run boot.bat from the desktop, Windows uses C:\WINDOWS as the working directory instead of C:\WINDOWS\[Profiles\UserName\]DESKTOP, which is why the installation can't find the files that it needs. Putting everything in C:\DEBIAN should solve this problem. You also should try to identify your CDROM type before proceeding, so that you don't end up sweating over it trying to figure out which of the half-dozen or so likely drivers is appropriate while your machine is no longer running Windows, but not yet running Debian.

Can't boot -- 'shadow RAM' at fault...?
I'm trying to get 'potato' up-and-running on a box that thought it would have Windoze, a Compaq Presario 4660. CMOS says 2 instances of shadow RAM are present, but doesn't provide a way to turn that 'feature' off. Debian gets as far as the line about freeing unused kernel memory and then halts, system locked up at that point. - Is this -likely- to be a shadow RAM problem? - Would Phoenix really have made it impossible to turn shadowing off? - Any solution in view other than buy different BIOS...? - Any other tips, clues, theories on why Debian is halting there? Thanks kindly, -- Jeff -- http://www.wellnow.com There's nothing left in the world to prove. All that's worth doing is to love one another, using whatever means are available to serve.

Adam Toronto, Ontario, Canada First, I'm not sure you could get a complete Debian mirror on 10GB. You can certainly get a couple of architectures for maybe stable and unstable on 10GB. The potato 386 distribution alone is 2GB and I image woody is slightly more. Then you have to worry about binary distributions for sparc, alpha, powerpc, m68k, etc. Then there's the Hurd...I think you'll have to make a choice. You might be able to get a complete archive of one distribution on 10GB, like all of potato, but that might be cutting it close with just 10GB. Once you do that you then need to select a tool to do the mirror. If you're only going to do a single architecture, eg., 386, then I'd recommend a http utility like wget. The advantage of a http utility is that you don't have to contend with all the logical links like you do with an ftp utility, like mirror for example. There's a lot of stuff in binary-i386 that's linked to binary-all and I imagine at this point there's a lot of stuff in woody that's linked to potato. I have yet to find a ftp utility that will convert such links to files if you're trying to be selective about what you get. Actually I think it has more to do with the ftp server the mirrors run. mirror has a flag to flatten symbolic links but the last time I tried it it didn't work on any of the Debian mirrors I aimed it at. So, with all this in mind, if you can be more specific about what you want to mirror maybe we can be more specific on how to go about doing it. I'm not familiar with apt-move so maybe someone else can pick up the ball and run with it. Gary

Or, do I need to put the following line somewhere? for i in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ipv4/ip_masq_*; do insmod $i;done The second part is that I needed to increase the timeout values for ipchains. Where should I put the following line, so it is executed automatically? /sbin/ipchains -M -S 7200 10 160 I've put another ipchains statement within the /etc/init.d/networking file, but is there a better place to put it with the potato network setup?

How many CDs in potato?
Can anyone tell me how many CDs the official ISOs have for: - i386 main + main/non-US ( + contrib ?) - sources Is contrib included as a service on official CDs like it was for slink? The reason I ask is that it's time for me to buy some potato CDs, and I'm having a difficult time deciphering know what vendors are selling (from 2 to 4 CDs): www.lsl.com Debian 2.2 Binary CDR Intel (2 CD Set) $3.78 US Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 CDR Intel (5 CD Set) $7.99 US This set includes 2 binary cds and 3 source cds www.linux-cd.com Official Debian 2.2 potato i386 binary 3 disk set. Includes non-us encryption packages. $29.95 US Official++ Debian 2.2 potato i386 binary disks 1, 2, 3 and disk 4 (non-free). This is the full-monty, with main, contrib, non-US, and includes the non-free package disk. $39.95 US www.greenbush.com Potato stable i386 binary 4-CD set $14.00 US Potato stable binary/source i386 8-CD set $26.00 US I'm assuming that Linux-cd's first 2 CDs are identical to LSL's, that their third is non-us and forth is non-free. I don't know whether the 2-CD set includes contrib. I assume that the 4-CD set is identical to greenbush's. (Why is it that I can't find this information easily when Debian goes table. I had the same problem with slink, finding out if contrib was included or not on the official CDs. I think the http://www.debian.org/distrib/vendors page should describe what the official CD sets are.) Thanks, Peter

RE: How many CDs in potato?
Can anyone tell me how many CDs the official ISOs have for: - i386 main + main/non-US ( + contrib ?) - sources Is contrib included as a service on official CDs like it was for slink? Taken verbatim from the Release Notes for potato: The Official CD-ROM distribution ships as three binary package CD-ROMs. The first binary CD contains parts of the main section, but it can include the non-US/main section, too. The other two binary CDs contain the rest of main, and contrib. If your vendor adds (portions of) non-free and/or non-US/non-free sections to the CD set, there may be additional CDs. Have a look at http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ under section What's New in the Distribution? Cheers G.
quick fetchmail help ...
hey. if anyone is there i'm helping a friend setup a multi-drop fetchmail stuff while their connectivity is down. what i need is a fetchmail config that will download all their mail from a pop3 account on their mail server and then forward it to their internal nt server (which doesn't have direct connectivity until their dsl is back up but does have ethernet to the linux box which can dial in) with the correct smtp envelope. the problem that i'm having is that fetchmail isn't rewriting the envelope correctly, instead it's delivering all mail to the user ipi (their pop account at their isp). i know that this is easy to do and that fetchmail can do this but if anyone knows the correct way to do it as i wade through the docs it would be much appreciated. currently what i have is a /root/.fetchmailrc which looks like this: poll mail.isp.com with proto POP3 and options uidl user 'ipi' there is ipi here options keep and using the commadn line: fetchmail -v -B 1 can anyone provide a quick fix? thanks, adam.

I should have mentioned this before, but I'm only going to do stable x86, since that's all I have around right now anyway. I may also do unstable x86, but not right away. I'm looking to setup something on my local fileserver, perhaps using cron to update nightly, so my local machines can apt-get from my fileserver (FTP server is running on there, so AFAIK it could just be it's own sources.list line). My machines are all x86 based, so I know I don't need all the other arch stuff, but I would like the source as well. I'd also like to use rsync, so that it uses as little network traffic as possible, since the Debian mirrors are probably gonna be busy as hell for the next few weeks. Is this clearer? I'm not familiar with apt-move so maybe someone else can pick up the ball and run with it. I've been reading the man pages for it, as well. I think I have a handle on it, but I wouldn't mind hearing if anyone else has this setup, and any pitfalls that they ran into. Thanks! Adam Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Raid 1 Problems
Hi, I am running potato and a 2.2.16 kernel on our file server. I have two raid 1 devices set up, each 10 gigs big. The problem is that it does not seem to cleanly unmount/update the superblock when I restart/shutdown (although it says it does). So what happens is each startup it needs to run chkraid, which on two 10 gig md devices, takes a while. thanks, -Matt- +-+ Matt Kopishke [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Foster Laing Noonanhttp://www.flni.com | Waldo Theatrehttp://www.waldotheatre.org | +-+

CUT--- From: Alex Buell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Linux Kernel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cause of mysterious lock-ups with 2.2.x kernels discovered! Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentlemen and Gentlewomen, I wish to share with you all my latest discovery which I just made a few minutes ago, but I must explain the background first. For quite a while, since I returned from the States in Feb, I had been the victim of a recurring but random lock-ups with Linux in all incarnations of the 2.2.x series kernels, and have in fact reported several. The strange thing was that I never had these lock-ups in the States. All that was a mystery until tonight. I had left the keyboard for a short period of time, and returned to find one of my six cats SLEEPING on the keyboard! I shooed the cat away and sat down to continue my editing. I was completely thunderstruck when I realised that the machine was locked up tighter than a chastity belt on a virgin, X11 was still on the display, just completely frozen. Then a light went on in my tiny brain, somehow my cats must have discovered quite by accident the best way to annoy me; that is, pressing keys at random until the reboot/sync/meminfo key sequences (i.e alt-r, alt-s I think) kicks in and machine locks up as a result. I propose four solutions to this problem. 1. Keep cats out of room. 2. Disable the keyboard with a sequence of key-presses, and re-enable by pressing a different sequence of key-presses. Of course, it should be cat-proof. 3. Unplug the keyboard. 4. Put cat-repellent on keyboard. I hope this helps those of you with cats in the house and experiencing strange happenings.

As I followed the manual and explored some, on my own, I kept coming back to the same message, which was no hard drive(s) found. That is my recollection of the message anyway. Does this ring a bell with any one? The version of Debian I am trying to load is 2.1. I also tried to install using a boot floppy; but, again I got a similar message pointing to the scsi drives not being recognized.

If anyone wants to they can e-mail me direct at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Andrew Can you get to your CD-ROM from DOS only? Rather than trying to run boot.bat from a Windows icon, exit Windows with the MS-DOS Mode option. If the DOS drivers for your CD are in CONFIG.DOS (SYS) and AUTOEXEC.DOS (BAT), you should be able to access your CD-ROM drive directly and install from there. Alternatively, do the following: Create a directory on C: such as C:\DEBIAN. Place the files you mentioned in this directory instead of on the desktop. Also, you might want to include the resc1440.bin and drv1440.bin files. I'm not positive they're needed, but I THINK one or both of them is needed. Then, as above, instead of trying to run boot.bat from Windows, exit Windows into the MS-DOS Mode. Then cd \debian to get into the C:\DEBIAN directory, and then enter boot. If your CDROM isn't an IDE or SCSI CDROM, or it's connected to an ISA/PNP card, then you'll definitely need rescue.bin and the file drivers.tgz, so that you can load the driver required for your CDROM and continue from there via CDROM. You may also want to consider putting base2_2.tgz there, so that you don't have to rely on your CDROM drive to install the base system. That'll probably get you farther along. I think that when you run boot.bat from the desktop, Windows uses C:\WINDOWS as the working directory instead of C:\WINDOWS\[Profiles\UserName\]DESKTOP, which is why the installation can't find the files that it needs. Putting everything in C:\DEBIAN should solve this problem. You also should try to identify your CDROM type before proceeding, so that you don't end up sweating over it trying to figure out which of the half-dozen or so likely drivers is appropriate while your machine is no longer running Windows, but not yet running Debian. What make model is it?

Does this ring a bell with any one? The version of Debian I am trying to load is 2.1. As I recall, Debian 2.1 boot kernel could not handle the Adaptec card very well. I had to compile my own kernel for it. The boot floppies for Debian 2.2 (just released) handle it very well. I strongly suggest that you skip 2.1 and install 2.2 instead. Peter

No, just download the debianized kernel-source-*.deb file, or apt-get it, or download the pure kernel source from your favorite kernel.org ftp mirror. What the heck is that for, anyway? I believe it's for other software that may not come as part of the kernel but very well may depend on the kernel. For example, I think VMWare used to require the headers, at a minimum, to compile from source. Look through the Packages file(s) and you can see if any other packages require or recommend a kernel-headers package if you're really curious. Gary

If you installed all your machines, without using any sort of shared local cache it would still produce less bandwidth than 1 week of a full local mirror. You realize it takes about 200meg/day to keep up with our archive? Shared APT, squid, etc are all more banddith efficient solutions. Jason

You'd only want the kernel-headers package if you installed a kernel-image package (instead of compiling yourself) and then wanted to compile something else (like modules) which need to use kernel headers. If you're compiling your own kernel, you already have the headers as part of the source. Tom
Building Debian Packages by Example: Packaging libgnupg.pm

Where: IQ Group's Technology Lab The Constitution Building, 12th floor, Suite 1200 325 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, PA Abstract We will demonstrate the building of a Debian package by preparing a .deb file and source packages for libgnupg-perl, a Perl Interface for Gnu Privacy Guard (GnuPG.pm). Since this is a perl library module a few extra considerations are applicable. However, GnuPG.pm is still very simple so this session will be appropriate for those new to Debian development. Social Dinner Attendees are invited to gather for dinner prior to the meeting at 6:30 PM at The Nile Restaurant, 120 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA.
