Re: Configurar puerto 6699 para OpenNapster
El Fri, Nov 03, 2000 at 01:24:16PM +0100, Santiago Fernandez contaba: y en /etc/inetd.conf: napster dgram udp waitroot/usr/bin/lopster ¿Y esto para qué? No vas a recibir nunca peticiones a este puerto (a no ser que te estén scaneando los puertos) a no ser que estés conectado a Napster. A ver, el Napster funciona entre gente que está conectada en un momento. Si tienes ejecutado el Lopster no hace falta avisar el Inetd. Lo mismo que si tienes el Apache o el Exim como demonios, no hace falta. Ellos ya se encargan del puerto. Yo la verdad no tuve que hacer nada. Conecto con el Lopster y aparece un puerto abierto en mi máquina. El que quiera acceder accede, y el que no, se va a hacer gárgaras. En cuanto a configurar un servicio. En realidad no vale tampoco para nada. Yo me preocuparía más en cerrar bien otros puertos y en configuar bien la pila para que puedan acceder a tu máquina. -- Saudos: ose[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Vigo/Galicia/España) http://pagina.de/xmanoel/ http://w3.to/mikkeli/ pgpi2KrBzJUoJ.pgp Description: PGP signature

sticky bit, powersaving hdd spindown
hello fellow debian users;
i've been working on a stand alone music player for the last couple of months.
it's currently a bit loud (being based around an old p166 with a very noisy
hdd powersupply fan.
after reading another posting by someone else on how to quieten down a
computer, i finally got motivated to do so. but the first problem that struck
me was the hdd having to spin up all the time
currently my music player plays a series of files off a cd. it also has a
screen blanking option which due to the hackish nature of this program, does a
system('tput clear') (as i don't want to use the ncurses routines to do this)
this call to tput is located on the hard disk and cached. yet after playing a
certain amount of music, this binary is swapped out, and if accessed again,
the hdd would have to spin down again.
i remember reading somewhere that the sticky bit could be used to instruct
certain unixs to permanently cache a program. is this the case with linux? if
not, can anyone offer any alternative solutions?
thanks in advance.

Re: Which editor for programming?
Hi Shao, Quoth Shao Zhang, Could you let us know how you live on both emacs and vim? Do you have to use the vi mode in emacs when using emacs? I tried out emacs before and cannot use it at all without the vi mode. Eg. C-d in vim scrolls page down but deletes lines in emacs... Umm... Basically I just made a point to learn enough about both of them. Vim is very cool, and fast, and has great syntax highlighting, and is perfect for just about everything. But when it came to my thesis using LaTeX, I figured I needed something with a bit more balls - something that was written for hard-core document production. So I bit the bullet and decided to learn EMACS. The main thing I did was to sit down and work through the tutorial, which was very helpful. The xemacs20-support package also has a nifty little reference card, located at /usr/lib/xemacs-20.4/etc/refcard3.ps - I just printed this out double sided and use it as an aide memoir. Between this and the LaTeX manual, I'm doing quite well (considering I'm a criminologist, and not a computer scientist). I think the idea of using emacs to emulate vi is a little disturbing, frankly! It's a bit like sitting on top of a tank and pretending it's a mountain bike. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller | Did a large procession wave their torches Criminologist/Linux Geek | As my head fell in the basket, http://killfilter.com | And was everybody dancing on the casket...

Under DOS there was the possibility of treating some of your RAM like a
disk (hence the name ramdisk). Not sure if Linux can do this, but if
so, then just copy the binary to a ramdisk and run it from there.
Just an idea, I don't know how to do it or even if it can be done.

SB Live! (Xgamer) with Debian Woody
Hello, After managing to get my XFree86 4.0.1 running last night (which seemed an achievement) I set upon setting up an SB Live! (Xgamer)... I downloaded the drivers from opensource.creative.com and compiled them with few warnings. I then did a 'make install' and got the following messages: mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc install -c -m 664 emu10k1.o /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc install -c -m 664 ac97_codec.o /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc install -c -m 664 emu10k1-joy.o /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc /sbin/depmod -a 2.2.17 depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/emu10k1.o /sbin/modprobe -r emu10k1.o emu10k1-joy.o ac97_codec.o Has anyone else experienced these problems?

I've checked the kernel (with 'modconf') to make sure Sound support is installed and it apparently is, although soundcore isn't a loaded module (should it be?). The only other thing I've checked is the output from 'dmesg': ... ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 sb: dsp reset failed.

Re: Upgrading video card: Best of these three?
Obviously Rogerio Brito [EMAIL PROTECTED] thinks that: In all reviews that I've studied, the NVIDIA cards seem to be the winners of performance, but the fact that they don't have a receptive attitude towards the community means that they don't want people like me as their customers. You're having my highest respect for that... I guess it's important to, after talking about Free/ Open Source software, to get people also sensitized in issues of Open *hardware*. I can't really see it as a *support* of a company towards the Linux movement to sell a product with proprietary, closed source drivers while not supporting open developers and keeping hardware specifications secret.. To me, this is nothing more than a pure marketing trick to get the (fortunately growing) amount of Linux users to buy their hardware products... Computers are dead if people are limited to using closed, proprietary software, but the best free OS doesn't has any use when there is no possiblilty to get access to working hardware.

A 12-hour-turnus it's probably acceptable, but you will shorten the HDDs' lifetime.

Noticed with dpkg -S that it made the directories. Checked status and xlib6 installed as optional priority. Further checking showed that xlib6g installed all it's pointing to. In the xlib6.list file is Nov 2 unlike xlib6 Aug 01 and it wasn't required by Gimp before that. I removed xlibc6 and it took xaw3d with it. I ran ldconfig and got a missing xaw3d as above. Installed xaw3dg this time since it seemed to fit with xlib6g. No libc6 required here, but all Athena widget apps took on a 3d Motif look. I removed xaw3dg and got an ldconfig reference to the missind xaw3d again. This time I removed all reference to xaw3d in the ld.so.conf file and ldconfig ran okay. I installed and removed xaw3dg this time without comment. It looks like a program placed xawd in the ld.so.conf file and it caused problems everytime I installed another program and it called on ldconfig. Thanks for the help. I hoep I did right.

lost my backspace key
Hello everyone, Hopefully this will be an easy one. I just installed the lbreakout game from unstable. It updated a couple of X packages enroute. They didn't look like they were anything critical so I let it go ahead and do it. But now I've discovered a problem, my backspace key no longer works. I have a basic 101 key keyboard (no windows keys). Obviously backspace used to work for me, what can I do to get it working again? Thanks, David Bellows
Re: email alias postfix procmail
Problem solved. I hate it when things are sooo easy once you have figured it out. Just to save a few hours for someone else: Use fetchmail. There seem to be some issues about multidrop stuff, read the man page. using fetchmail, your fetchmailrc looks like this: set postmaster dirk poll pop.xs4all.nl aka xs4all.nl with proto POP3 user dirk there with password very-secret to dirk to adb=anna limit 10 warnings 3600 this to adb=anna delivers [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This configuration wasn't hard to find, but, it didn't work without the aka xs4all.nl So I spent hours looking for what was wrong and just overlooked this simple aka. I am curious why it is important. If someone could explain? Dirk

Re: Opera for Linux
When I first commenced this thread three days ago, my intentions were two-fold. Firstly, the need to scout for a suitable replacement for my out of date Netscape 4.51. Secondly, because of a lot of hype in our local WIA / WAP hardware circuits (and else- where in Asia I suppose) on the prospects of Linux entering the WIA / WAP arena here, (which as of now is a monopoly of M$) with the Opera for Linux as the main browser! I am attaching a clipping from Issue 59 of Linux Gazette (Nov 2k) for those interested. It is my gut feeling, that there will be more Linux desktops using Opera as the prime browser within the next one year than one can expect .. I feel happy that Linux is now a main stream OS and commercial enterprises are opening up all over the world. I am sure licensing aspects (closed source), would perhaps be against the very ethos of all true GNU/ Linux loyalists. But that's the way the world is ! Surely, organised projects cannot survive without recourse to a source of revenue. Today is my second day I am using the beta .. Opera is surely a thing to look out for and very soon too, if they want to take on M$ in the WIA/ WAP market!

Mozilla is just not usable at the moment and although it gets better with each nightly build it is still very fragile on my system.

And, if speed matters, what do I have lynx and links for? :))) Opera seems already robust. It has a nice interface and I would be very happy to use it as my interface with the web. Nowadays a web browser is so important and it really ought to be *the* best application on the OS. Even though I agree on that statement, getting back on that licensing stuff, I *hardly* can imagine Opera being *the* best application in this OS, because the way this product is distributed and brought to the customers totally conflicts *everything* Linux stands for... from that point of view, I rather would wait for a Netscape 12 one day (which then hopefully displays secure ml and each of the thousand proprietary media-plug-ins we will have to face, in the year 2010) than consider using Opera on my system.

X4 lacking color definitions
A fresh X install this morning made X4 an interesting surprise. One problem which I don't know which package to report the bug to. Help? Programs like Netscape, fetchmailconf, etc consistently report that they don't know colors anymore: Warning: Color name black is not defined Warning: Color name green is not defined Warning: Color name red is not defined Warning: Color name Gray60 is not defined Warning: Color name Black is not defined Warning: Color name Blue is not defined This produces several warning dialogs in Netscape, and prevents programs like fetchmailconf from running. Memory says there used to be a color definition file in the /usr/X11R6/lib hierarchy, but no longer so. __ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products.

RE: XFree86 4.0.1 and TrueType fonts
It's not all that hard... I went through this last night. Ok, I have my ttf fonts in /usr/share/lib/fonts/truetype. I created a symlink /usr/lib/X11/fonts/truetype to match the other font paths, and added that to my fontpath list in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. I then went there and used ttmkfdir to create the fonts.dir file that the freetype module is looking for. Restarted X, and I had instant TrueType! It really is just that simple. I had zero luck getting xfstt to cooperate with XF4, and had all sorts of weird font-isms until I disabled it. Aterm would display hash instead of line-drawing characters, rxvt wouldn't even START, Eterm would start, but not display the menus properly, etc. Of course, whoever it is at XFree86 that wrote README.fonts needs to be shot.

I've got freetype in the modules section, and I've got the path to the TrueType font directory as a FontPath, but I don't get any TrueType fonts available in various font selection dialogs, and nothing at all in the ttf foundry (which is where all the fonts ended up when using xfstt). Any other advice on where to start digging for this info? Most of the web (including my own site, sadly enough) doesn't look all that great in GUI browsers without the 'standard' fonts... john. - -- - -- -- [ John S Jacobs Anderson ]--URL:mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Genehack: Not your daddy's weblog ]--URL:http://genehack.org -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Mailcrypt 3.5.5 and Gnu Privacy Guard iD8DBQE6BFXrWRJRdOm3KFARAncOAJ4jGPGiYyCJYVyhweLVA9KUo3lC4ACfSiYG QresIRFVMI/pROtM/aq35pc= =uHeY -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
Re: Can't login using WDM!

Every time I enter my userid and password in the WDM login panel, the login panel disappears, I see a plain grey background, and then the login panel reappears. Is there anyway to debug this problem to find out why this is happening ? And also, is there a quick fix for this ? I am using Wdm-1.19-4.2, and I noticed the problem right after I installed xbase-clients-4.0.1 (and xcontrib-3.3.6 was removed). I've had this problem a couple times after upgrading core WindowMaker or X packages. I would guess it's a conflict between some of the old libraries (still in use by wdm/the running X server) and the new ones (which newly- started processes will access during the login/session startup sequence). To get everyone using the same libraries again, restart wdm. (/etc/init.d/wdm restart) -- Two words: Windows survives. - Craig Mundie, Microsoft senior strategist So does syphillis.

Re: aside: perl's unpack()
There are those who would have you believe that Damien wrote: I can tell you an easier way to decipher them, but I too would like to know how they are contructed, i.e what's the algorithm. a.b.c.d n = d + c * 256 + b * 256 ^ 2 + a * 256 ^ 3 after reading the previous mail, this is what i was thinking. i went to test it in perl afterwards, but got the wrong result. could anyone tell me what's wrong with my interpretation? perl -le '$, = .; print unpack(C4, 2704935062);' IP networks use big-endian notation and PCs use little-endian; you need to convert the value before splitting it back into octets: ($a, $b, $c, $d) = split(/\./, 50.55.48.52); $n = $d + ($c 8) + ($b 16) + ($a 24); print $n = , join(., unpack(C4, pack(N, $n))), \n; I'll leave it as an exercise to make this into a one-liner ;-).
gnome-ppp
Hi Folks; Have Debian 2.2 running on a Pentium 166MMX, 2 hard drives, only one containing Debian. After configuring Gnome-ppp and attempt to dial out get the following error The pppd died unexpectedly. So tried the Help menu item on the Gnome-ppp window to have a look at any help they had available and got the following: Error loading document ghelp:/usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-ppp/C/index.html You probably don't have this document installed on your system. Looked at /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-ppp/C and sure enough index.html is missing. Looked at all sources on the 3 CD's and unable to locate missing file. Where can this be found?

Re: New X Server crashes
There are those who would have you believe that Michael Abraham Shulman wrote: I wrote: MAS Okay, it appears to be working now. Well, more or less. Everything runs fine with `startx', but I'm having some peculiar difficulties with xdm. Specifically, 1. xdm now takes over a minute from when the daemon is started, either by init or manually, to when the login widget appears. Is this normal now, or is there anything I can do to speed it up? I don't know. Maybe it's trying to resolve your hostname? 2. Does anyone have any clue what could cause an xdm-started X server to use a different video mode than an xinit-started X server? Because that's what it's doing. I copied a 1152x864 mode line from my old XF86Config file, and it works fine with startx, but when run from xdm, the X server reverts to 1024x768. startx looks in the appropriate Screen section of your XF86Config for the DefaultDepth, then uses the first entry of the Mode parameter for the Display subsection that matches that color depth (I believe if DefaultDepth is not specified, it just uses the first Display). xdm uses the entries in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers; if it has a different setting for the color depth it could affect which resolution you end up with.

On http://www.heise.de/ct/ftp/ there is a tool called ctscreen which should work pretty good. It is written in Java. The zipped archive contains a file ctscreen.bat which is supposed to be run under WinXX. What it actually does is calling the Java-Runtime. I never tried but it should be possible to run this with linux. Phil Thanks, it does run under linux (though one of the tests hung my X session, and another didn't seem to work at all). Also it's in German, so non-polyglots beware.. chris
