Ayuda con Samba (Parece que ya va)
Hola a todos... Si recordais el mensaje de anoche, la comparticion estaba conseguida, pero en algunos ordenadores, se quedaba bloqueado el Office al grabar. Bueno pues hoy he estado hablando con el propietario de la red, y me ha dicho que ha funcionado todo OK. Anoche le deje instalando el Service Release 2 para Office, que no se si tendra algo que ver, pero hoy me ha dicho que han surgido problemas menores con impresoras, configuraciones de Outlook y tal. Ahora mismo no se porque funciona alli, porque hoy he configurado un servidor Samba en una red con 49 PCs sin ningun problema con ficheros. Diran que Linux no dispone de servicio de asistencia tecnica, pero con listeros Linuxeros/Debianeros, quien necesita un servicio de estos. Muchas gracias a todos.

glide v3
Hola listeros Tengo una Voodoo3 3k y estoy tratando de hacer funcionar la aceleracion 3d en Potato, para lo cual instale el device3dfx (si problemas), y libglide2-v3, con lo que logro visualizar las aplicaciones que usan 3dfx (xmame por ej.) pero no se ve nitido, mas bien boorroso. Probe instalando tambien el paquete glide2-base, sin conserguir cambio alguno. Por ultimo me baje el src.rpm de http://linux.3dfx.com, genere el rpm de glide y lo converti a deb con alien, y todo funciono muy bien (no he podido despegarme del UT aun...). ¿Porque no me habran funcionado los deb de glide que trae Potato?, ahora tengo ademas el inconveniente de que al querer instalar las lib Mesa3d me fallan las dependencias, ya que busca libglide2-v3 y no glide-v3, que al parecer, solo difieren en el nombre ¿dpkg basa su chequeo de dependencias solo en los nombres?, si es asi, seria lo unico que extraño de Red Hat, ya que al menos rpm detectaba de que libreria se trata automaticamente (sin perjuicio de los require indicados por el desarrollador).

Re: Debian es Debian
Sobre este tema, he visto algún planteamiento con el que no estoy del todo de acuerdo. Cuando se habla de si Debian crecerá o dejará de crecer en el futuro, creo que lo que hay que considerar no es tanto el num. de usuarios como el de desarrolladores. Una diferencia que veo entre Debian y otras distros es que, en el caso de las comerciales, mientras haya gente que se las instale (sobre todo gente que después vaya a pagar por servicios), habrá financiación, y por tanto, desarrollo. Sin embargo, Debian tendrá desarrolladores mientras haya desarrolladores interesados en Debian (como vosotros ;-D). Mientras Debian sea la favorita de un gran número de usuarios con ganas de pegarse con el ordenador, seguirá creciendo (aunque el numero total de usuarios no crezca). No creo que ninguno de los que desarrolláis Debian fuera a dejarlo porque el usuario medio-bajo no se cambiara a Debian. En definitiva, pienso que mientras que en las distribuciones comerciales se puede medir su crecimiento por el número de usuarios, en Debian se debe medir por el número de usuarios que aportan algo al desarrollo. Y ahí no sólo os meto a los desarrolladores, creo que casi todos aportamos nuestro granito, mientras que el redhatero que quiere que aquello se instale como Win sin tener NPI de lo que hay detrás, probablemente nunca se preocupará de reportar 'bichos', de sugerir cambios,... simplemente esperará la siguiente versión. Conclusión: el debianero medio, aporta mucho más que el redjatero o susero medio con lo que, aunque seamos pocos, mientras estemos bien avenidos... Somos linuxeros concentraos! Un saludo, y no me hagáis caso, que aún estoy un poco dormido.

On Mon, Oct 02, 2000 at 10:59:15PM -0300, Andres A Rocchia wrote: En mi opinion lo que decia Antonio es que debian parece no estar dandole la importancia que se merece al numero de usuarios, no que todo deba centrarse en una carrera por conseguirlos, pero tampoco pretender que si estan bien, y sino tambien. Por otro lado DEBIAN tiene un contrato social que creo que respeta y espero siga haciendolo, aca nada tiene que ver los intereses comerciales de ningun inversor de turno. Las demas distros comerciales no por el solo hecho de serlo las tenemos que defenestrar pensando que sus productos necesariamente seran mediocres a causa de esto, es mas ni el propio DEBIAN pordria existir si invertir en Linux no fuera negocio. Andrés. En esta vida todo es cuestión de prioridades. En el Contrato Social de Debian, una de las cosas más importantes que se dicen es que Debian *se debe a sus usuarios*. Por eso existen cosas como non-free, que en su día fueron muy necesarias (hoy por hoy lo siguen siendo, pese a lo que digan algunos, y lo seguirá siendo por un tiempito, pese a lo que otros vaticinen), ya que proporcionaban software que no tenían una contrapartida libre siquiera de igual calidad (buena o mala, da igual). Pero el asunto es que pensar en llegar a todos los usuarios posibles es un pensamiento que suele ir asociado a una empresa. Cuantos más usuarios, más beneficio. Bien cierto es que cuantos más usuarios, más posibilidades de detectar errores, de que a alguien le entre el gusanillo y se meta a desarrollador, etc., pero esas son las únicas razones que yo veo para que Debian quiera tener más usuarios, y sinceramente, no creo que facilitar las cosas, sea una vía para conseguir ese tipo de usuario (que entrará a la distribución de todas maneras), de manera que creo que sea una prioridad (lo cual se demuestra por la forma en que evoluciona la distribución). Uno adopta una distribución libremente. Si decides entrar en Debian, no creo que sea porque es más fácil que las demás, o porque es más bonita que las demás. Debian tiene ciertas peculiaridades, valores, y características que la hacen atractiva a un determinado tipo de usuario. En mi caso, soy programador desde hace varios años, con lo cual mi bagaje técnico en ciertos campos podría ser considerable. Sin embargo, como administrador, posiblemente, no de la talla, o al menos me quede bastante corto. Al fin y al cabo, administro mis máquinas casi por hobby, aunque sea un área que siempre me ha atraído mucho. Obviamente, me podría sentir más cómodo como administrador con otras máquinas, pero quizá el mismo gusanillo que me hizo meterme con los ordenadores primero, y con la programación después, hace que me guste hurgar en las entrañas de las cosas, y aprender cómo funcionan desde dentro. ¿Será eso lo que me atrae de Debian? ¿Que te facilita ciertas cosas, sin ocultarte en ningún momento la cruda realidad? Sin embargo, precisamente en mi venilla de administrador, hay cosas de Debian que me atraen muchísimo. ¿Te has fijado en la inmensa cantidad de herramientas (entre Potato y Woody han crecido una barbaridad) de que dispone Debian para automatizar tareas de administración desde scripts? Es impresionante. A mi juicio (a lo mejor me equivoco), creo que es la que más versatilidad da a un administrador que quiera olvidarse por completo de tener que tocar una máquina siquiera para tener que hacer lo mínimo. Es cierto que aún tiene que avanzar un poco en la cuestión de instalaciones desatentidas (esencial si quieres instalar 20, 30, 300 máquinas de un golpe), y lo que ha dado la puntilla es el sistema debconf. Tardó lo suyo, y la gente nueva no sabrá apreciarlo, pero es un buen diseño, escalable, configurable, y sobre todo, que permitirá, el día en que todos los paquetes que lo necesiten cumplan con los requisitos de debconf, que una Debian se pueda instalar con meter el CD y pulsar un botón. Muchos se rasgarán las vestiduras ante esta afirmación: ¡decir que es bueno lo que consideramos anatema en otras distribuciones!, pero hay que haberse leído las especificaciones de debconf para comprenderlo :') Bueno... A ver si se me deja de ir la olla. En resumidas cuentas: * Debian se debe a sus usuarios, lo que no quiere decir que deba mejorar para buscar nuevos usuarios. * Debian es la única distribución importante que es desarrollada por sus propios usuarios, en exclusiva. Teniendo en cuenta estas dos afirmaciones, tenemos que: * Debian tan fácil para sus usuarios, como sus propios usuarios (al menos aquellos que estén tan comprometidos como para ayudar a crecer a Debian) crean que deba serlo. Tú me contestarás: Bueno... eso quiere decir que la distribución será como los gurús quieran, porque son los únicos que pueden llegar a ser desarrolladores. Y creo que te equivocas. Lo mismo se ha dicho varias veces sobre el software libre en general. Por ejemplo, hay una frase de un compañero mío, que siempre me ha divertido mucho: Linux nunca llegará

Los paquetes corregidos se colocan normalmente en unstable y ahí se quedan hasta que unstable se convierte en frozen y luego en stable (o sea, que puede pasar cierto tiempo hasta que llega a los CDs). Si el bicho es un fallo de seguridad o es un fallo muy gordo, se pone también en security.debian.org o en proposed-updates. Cuando sale una nueva revisión de stable (por ejemplo, cuando salga la 2.2r1), se consideran la incorporación de estos paquetes a stable.

ISO-8859-15 (sobre el euro)
Buenas. Hace un par de décadas o tres me bajé un euro-1.5b3.tar.gz y lo intenté ver pero no me enteré de nada en la documentación. Esta noche lo intenté de nuevo y no me fue tan mal. Simplemente con un: setfont /usr/local/src/euro-1.5b3/fonts/linux-console/lat9w-08.psf Ya se cambia la fuente. Sólo resta cambiar el keymap para que AltGr-e genere el keysym currency, y AltGr-c genere cent. Cargamos el nuevo keymap y conseguimos el ansiado símbolo del euro. Vamos a la consola 7, volvemos a la de texto y ya se fastidió el tinglado. En lugar del euro aparece una ñ y en lugar de á aparece una beta (y un montón de cosas más que salen mal). Al principio del Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO habla un poco del tema este, en la sección Resetting your terminal, pero lo hace demasiado rápido y sin explicar bien las cosas. Vamos, que no me entero de lo que pasa con loadunimap, ni del kernel unicode map ni na de na. hipótesis Hay dos tipos de fuentes, las que tienen un unicode map en el mismo archivo .psf y las que no. Al poner las segundas con setfont, se borra el mapa unicode del kernel pero al poner las primeras no, por lo que hay que hacerlo a mano con loadunimap o con el parámetro -u de setfont. /hipótesis Todo esto es lo que he sacado en limpio de dicho howto pero de todas formas no me indica por qué al ir a Xwindow y volver aparece mal. Hay un programa llamado testfont, que saca por pantalla todos los caracteres de la fuente cargada. Al volver a consola salen los mismos que en los viejos tiempos del ms-dos (cp437). Pruebo a poner loadunimap y algunos cambian, se arregla lo de la á, pero sigue apareciendo una bonita ñ en lugar del querido euro. Sólo volviendo a setfont'ear la fuente vuelvo a verlo. El Danish-HOWTO y las páginas man de setfont y loadunimap no me aclaran nada. Seguro que hay alguien que sabe mucho de esto... -- Just do it.

En la sec misc, estan entre otros estos modulos: sbc60xxwdt - (no description available) sb - VIA 82cxxx audio suport bueno no se si es por un tema de compatibilidad o que, pero sb parece ser un link a sbc60xxdt ya que este es el que se intenta cargar cuando lo hago con sb. Esto es asi o es un bicho? Andres
Potato-2.2 stable o unstable?

Pues eso porque pone unstable? no quedamos en que la unstable era en estos momentos la wody? No deberia de poner stable? Tengo los 4 cds de la potato-2.2 comprados a opencd. Otra cosa que no se si esta relacionada con lo mismo. Cuando visualizo el fichero source.list con el mc me sale el mensaje siguiente:error en el fichero /root/.cedit/Syntax (linea 91) y bajo el mensaje abandonar le doy al intro sin embargo y puedo editar el fichero normalmente.

Mark Spieth's ppp correction works for 2.2.17, supporting ltmodem.o driver
Background: The Lucent supplied binary ltmodem.o winmodem driver worked tranparently through kernels 2.2.14, but changes in ppp.o caused it to fail for 2.2.15 and later kernels. Mark today reported a potential solution for 2.2.16 sources. The email is transmitted under a just compiled 2.2.17 kernel, with its own ppp.o and ltmodem.o, demonstrating the effectiveness of Mark's correction to ppp.o. A script log of a dialup is Attached, with a few explanatory and clean up edits. For reasons still obscure the Mark's patch did not work on my system, though it checked on Mark's. It was easy enough to do it by hand, however. Thereafter: make menuconfig make dep make-kpkg --version=mark.1 kernel_image modules_image did the compiles and assembled them into Debian install packages. After installation and reboot, the tests shown in the mark17.txt script were run, followed by this 2nd current ppp session. Thanks much Mark, from all of us. We'll leave it to you to inform the ppp source maintainer. Tomorrow I'll send the kernel+modules in Debian and Redhat formats the include/linux/tty.h edit of 2.2.17 source to http://www.walbran.org for general access. They may not appear for a few days however, as Sean Walbran is traveling. The /boot/config-2.2.17 which will be installed is the compile configuration file.

Re: Mark Spieth's ppp correction works for 2.2.17, supporting ltmodem.o driver
note that it is not a ppp fix but a tty fix. you can not use just the ppp.o compiled this way. This is a kernel rebuild and reinstall fix. otherwise other things will break like console, normal modems, etc. what was done to tty.h is prefectly legit and a logical place to put the new structure element. however, it is not backward compatible with previous kernels. please dont take the easy way out and just use a ppp compiled with the new tty.h. this structure is too pervasive to not be consisent. mark On Thu, 5 Oct 2000, Marvin Stodolsky wrote: Background: The Lucent supplied binary ltmodem.o winmodem driver worked tranparently through kernels 2.2.14, but changes in ppp.o caused it to fail for 2.2.15 and later kernels.

Re: /dev/video: Operation not permitted
Some people responded to my question asking for more information concerning this error. I'll give it a try. I have purchased a Philips Vespa Pro Webcam, because it was reccomended for support by the Linux community. Indeed, it has some very detailed information on: http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ I run Debian 2.2 on a Dell notebook with kernel 2.2.17 so I had to do a bit of work in order to get usb working. I choose the backport patch over the upgrade to 2.4.0-test-something. Followed instructions on: http://www.suse.cz/development/usb-backport/ This all seems to work pretty well, judging from /var/log/messages (i'll list portion of the log below. (Acctually quite nice that a non-programmer like me can find instructions to do things like patching kernels and building modules.) But now we come to the tragic bit: I have built a new module pwc.o for my 2.2.17 kernel (pre-built only exists for 2.2.16 or 2.4.0-test6) according to the instructions. Now I load and it gives me: Oct 3 16:11:37 eme_lap kernel: pwc Philips PCA645/646 + PCVC675/680/690 webcam module version 5.05 PPro (UP) loaded.

gpm no longer function after upgrading
Dear all, After a recent upgrading, gpm (1.19.3-4) no longer functioned. I lost the mouse pointer in mc. It seems that /dev/gpmctl is lost although the gpm server did start at boot. I was told that it may be a pipe but mknod /dev/gpmctl -p did not work. Reinstalling gpm and libgmp1 also didn't work. I can use the mouse in X, though (with /dev/psaux as device and and ps2 as protocol). I'm using woody with kernel 2.2.17 if that matters. Would be grateful to any pointers to the solution of this problem . Regards, ST --

/usr/share, why bother?
I am very much in favor of the strongly adhered to filesystem layout that Debian uses. Having all of the configuration files in /etc, means that when I got a new laptop the only part of the OS I saved from the old to the new was /etc. Stuff that changes is in /var, that is great, right where it should be. Architecture specific stuff not on / goes in /usr. This leaves all of the non architecture specific stuff (text, html, perl scripts, emacs lisp, etc.) to go under /usr/share. I use /usr/local/share to have common TeX, etc. on completely different architectures. Makes things great for system management. I only need to install a new bibstyle in one place and my Linux and Tru64 boxes all find it. This is how it should be. My problem though, is that Debian only seems to go halfway. Just as I cross mount /usr/local/share between all my computers, I want to also cross mount /usr/share between all my Debian boxes. In order for this to make any sense though, there needs to be some sort of dpkg setting to say, don't install /usr/share on this machine, it is a client. I know, this can lead to problems where a package is installed on a client, but not on the master server. That is my problem as the administrator though, and shouldn't be anybody else's concern. Am I just dense, and such a setting is fully documented and I just need to rtfm? I know, disk space is real cheap, so wasting a few hundred meg per machine isn't a big deal, and there isn't really anything in /usr/share that I, as the administrator, need to be changing, but it is just the principle of the thing. I guess what I mean is, why call it share if it isn't meant to be shared?

Re: Article: Debian's Daunting Installation
I could see a person new to computers having some problems with installing Debian. It isn't the best install in the world. However, anyone who has a good understanding of computers (by this I don't mean Start-Programs-MS Word) should be able to install Debian with little trouble. I've installed 1.3 and 2.1 on my system. I upgraded from 1.3 to 2, then to 2.1, and then was the victim of a hard drive death. 2.1 seems to be a lot easier, with the ability to choose different installation types. I digress. My point is, Debian isn't difficult, even relative to the other 'main' Linux based distros out there, to install. It could be made better, but it isn't worth not using Debian over. -- Chaotic42 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~chaotic42/ http://www.bigplasticfork.org/ We are what we repeatedly do - Aristotle pgpGL9V18lnI6.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Serial port tunnel...
I guess you want to tunnel layer 2, not the serial port itself ;-) l2tp is the protocol you´re looking for, l2tpd is the only implementation for *n?x I´m aware of URL:http://www.marko.net/l2tp/, although at the moment it seems to only support PPP as layer-2-protocol. hth, rw On Thu, 05 Oct 2000 13:47:47 BST, Max Lock writes: Hi folks, I'm sure I saw some software that will tunnel a serial port over IP and make it appear as a local device on a remote machine.

Re: Mailbox directory with Mutt

And then when you're looking to change boxes, hit 'c' to change, followed by 'Tab', and it will list everything listed under mailboxes. Note that your spool folder is pointed to by !, and your spool directory ($HOME/Mail usually) is pointed to by =. For example, my mailboxes line is this: mailboxes $MAIL =oclug =mutt =debian =pm-ottawa =gnome =latex =spambox =rootbox =gimp =icewm ...but I could change $MAIL to !. Also when you hit 'c', if there is new mail in any of these, it will present the name of the next folder with new mail to allow you to cycle through them. Mike

Let me describe what I want:
All my mailboxes are under the directory /home/fayard/Mail/
When you type c, you have:
Open mailbox ('?' for list): ~/Mail/callig (Your current mailbox)
And when you start to type a name, it changes into:
Open mailbox: d (if d is the first letter you
have typed)
What I want is to type debian-user to switch to the
/home/fayard/Mail/debian-user
mailbox, and I want automatic completion over all the mailboxes in
/home/fayard/Mail/.
I'm quite sure I had that on an old distibution, and I can't find anything
in the mutt
documentation.
Don't start with 'd'. Start with '='. Hit '=d', and then Tab to complete.
This assumes that you've done a set folder=/home/fayard/Mail in your
.muttrc.

mysql location?
Hey list,sorry if this is a repeat. The original seems to have bounced off of someones full mailbox. (wierd)I have a couple of fairly easy ones, I think.I'm installing php. I have tried to add mysql both withapt-get, and by compiling it. I get a config error,no curses/termcap library found, and I clearly do have libncurses.when I chose to just use the mysql client and server debs, I couldn't pin down the directory where mysql was installed.The php configure option,--with-mysql=/path/to/dir/just plain stumped me. If I compile mysql, I can just stick itin /usr/local/mysql...Either way, I don't care, just so long as I know what to tell php. any ideas?thanks. -- Spend less time composing sigs. -tom
