Re: Ahhhhh!
No me suena muy bien. Las particiones 3, 6 y 7 no existen, y la 5 ocupa el mismo espacio que la 2, sin contar con que aparece como Win95 FAT 32. Que tengo Doctor? ... Sin faltar a la verdad se puede decir que tienes un disco rígido sin rastros del linux que habías instalado :( Yo he tenido una experiencia similar. Al final la resolví con un programa llamado gpart . Básicamente adivina la antigua tabla de particionas. La cuestión es arrancar con algún disco Linux que te de shell (el CD-ROM de instalación de Debian, por ejemplo) . Yo en mi caso, me lleve el binario compilado estáticamente en un disquette (busca en Google gpart). Lo ejecutas y primero te da una lista de lo que cree que serían las particiones del disco. Si ves que esta información es correcta, puedes cruzar los dedos y escribir de nuevo la tabla. Consulta la documentación y cruza los dedos. Yo recuperé dos particiones y toda su información con este programa.

Imprimir con slrn
Hola a todos: Tengo un curioso problema con la impresora (Epson, pero creo que es lo de menos): fue configurada con magicfilter, y funciona perfectamente con todas las llamadas que le hacen mutt, netscape, gedit, etc... Menos con el slrn. (el comando es y para imprimir). El piloto que hay encima del botón de encendido se pone a parpadear, pero no saca ni una mala página. He mirado en el slrn.rc y no encuentro nada que modificar. Alguna ayuda? Gracias. -- *** Miguel Angel con GNU/Linux Debian 2.2r0 Potato usuario 104631 ***

RAID y raidtools en potato
Hola En un ratillo he dejado funcionando una potato con una partición creada mediante linear del raid que viene incluido en el kernel de potato (2.2.17) y las raidtools. Lo que he visto es que ese soporte de raid que viene compilado en el nucleo es el antiguo 0.4.nosequé, y para poner el nuevo 0.9 hay que parchear el nucleo, pero el paquete de parches que viene para este raid es para el nucleo 2.2.10 y no deja parchear el 2.2.17. Por otra parte, claro, hay que montar raidtools2 para el nuevo raid. Me corría prisa tener una superunidad de mucha capacidad, y he hecho la guarrería de unir 3 discos de 8 GB IDE, una partición IDE de 6 GB, y 2 discos SCSI de 4 GB, para un total de unos 38 GB. Se trata de un entorno en explotación en real, y como no tengo experiencia con el raid de linux, se me plantean algunas preguntas: - ¿alguien de la lista lo ha usado considera que es fiable? ¿le ha hecho alguna pirula? - ¿merece la pena usar el nuevo raid 0.9 en vez del antiguo 0.4? - ¿el 0.9 añade funcionalidades o corrige supererrores de los que te dejan tiritando?

Por cierto, que yo sepa, los únicos problemas que hay en debian con qmail tienen su raíz en los estrictos requerimientos de seguridad que exige el autor para su distribución, poco 'acomodables' a la debian policy. Concretamente, el autor no permite la redistribución de binarios, mas que en casos contados autorizados por él mismo; de ahí que haya que compilarlos. Esas mismas restricciones a la redistribución son las que lo ubican como non-free. Pero no te preocupes, que los .deb vienen muy bien preparados y compilan e instalan sin problemas.

It's less flexible from a normal-user standpoint. I haven't used it for

a terminal in the process. I never had a problem with it working either.

Trouble building Python 2.0 on Debian Potato
I'm trying to build 2.0 on my Debian box, but I'm having some trouble getting Tkinter set up properly and I'm hoping somebody can clear up the trouble I'm having. First off, here's the message that I get from 'make' before it pukes: gcc -Xlinker -export-dynamic python.o \ ../libpython2.0.a -ldb -lreadline -ltermcap -lBLT8.2 -L/usr/lib -ltk8.2 -ltcl8.2 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11-lncurses -ltermcap -lndbm -L/usr/local/lib -lgdbm -L/usr/local/lib -lz -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -o python ../libpython2.0.a(tkappinit.o): In function `Tcl_AppInit': /usr/local/src/Python-2.0/Modules/./tkappinit.c:45: undefined reference to `TkImaging_Init' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [link] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/Python-2.0/Modules' make: *** [python] Error 2 So AFAIU, ld isn't finding the library where TkImaging_Init() is defined.

The two postscript files are very different. One is generated from a

Really, I just want to make this sgml document part of the appendix

latex, then include it, so I tried to merge the two PS files, but
then I will loose all the pages numbers etc...

Re: adaptec 1505 / potato
I finally succeded in installing the board. Its more a setup problem than a typically debian quaestion. 1) in the bios setup I left all the interrupts as PnP execpt #10 which is configured on the board (11 is the default but there was an IRQ conflict with the graphics adapter under win). #10 is reserved for legacy ISA boards in the manual bios setup. 2) All aha152x options at boot time, in lilo.conf or modules.conf fail. I have to use insmod aha152x aha152x=0x340,10. I think that it is the only way to skip the adapter bios probe, madatory since this dumb card doens't have one. Probably for the same reason, modprobe fails. Now, I have a question regarding debian boot process : where is the right place to insmod the module ? I can write a simple script with the insmod line and put it in /etc/init.d. Ok ? Then I have to make a link from directories for the run-level I want the scanner to be usable by everyone. Which run-level is it ? What must be the name of this link ? thanks.

Dual NICs, no forwarding
Got a question for the group. I've heard at work that I am going to be asked to add a network card in our web server so that our private network (10.1.0.0) can share resources on the web server. The web server will not be allowed to forward any traffic by default. This is being done by another box. Setting up this box for a new NIC is not an issue, but had an application related issue: Is it possible for an application running on this box, the web server, to access both networks (private net and internet)? Is there anything special that needs to be done to do so? Specifically, the application in question will be a bridge between the internet and the private net and will primarily be responding to requests from the internet side, then make connections to servers on the private net side. I guess almost like a proxy server, except no forwarding by default. Is there anything special that needs to be done in the server configuration, or is this really a none issue?

Re: signing gpg key with old key ...
The tools people use for sending you stuff should tell them that the key is expired. That should encourage them not to use it. If you revoke your old key that certainly invalidates the signature. Technically you can't change the expire date.

Masquerading -- Am I missing something?
Ok, I recently got a Maxtor 80Gb HD, so I figured I'd start with a fresh install of Potato on my system. My problem is that I can't seem to get a kernel that gives me both IP Masquerading and support for the drive. Now, on the kernels that the Masquerading fails on, it isn't a total failure. Basic masquerading works fine, but when I try to use, say, Asheron's Call or MusicMatch station selector on one of the machines on my subnet, it fails (I can, however, do simple functions like read Debian's webpage). In all attempts, running /etc/init.d/ipmasq start resulted in no errors. This was a symptom I was seeing when using 2.0.* kernels, so I assumed that the current kernel I was working with was a bad version. Here's a history of my attempts after making that assumption: 2.2.12: Masquerading works fine, Drive gives strange errors 2.2.15: Masquerading doesn't work, Drive works fine 2.2.17: Same as .15 2.4.0-test5: Won't boot. Out of Memory error while decompressing. So, my question basically is-- is there a kernel that works? Or is there some obscure kernel option that I'm not including that I need to include?

XFree86 4.0.1: Strange ssh behaviour
Hi, I am using debian woody.

Then I try to run a x-app (wish/wishx in my case, but any app will do). The program seems to hang, even ctrl-c does not work anymore, and I do not get any output. Scenario 2: I ssh to a SuSe box with Xfree86 3.3.6 installed, running an x-app there works without problems. Scenario 3: I telnet to my debian box mentioned in Sc. 1. I set the DISPLAY envvar accordingly (export DISPLAY=machinefromwhereitelnetfrom:0) and everything works fine? On all three boxes X-Forwarding is enabled for both the ssh-client and the server, with display offset set to 10 (the default). Everything worked fine until the upgrade to XFree86 4.0.1 (Or maybe there was an openssh upgrade I don't remember anymore).

Basic masquerading works fine, but when I try to MP use, say, Asheron's Call or MusicMatch station selector on one MP of the machines on my subnet, it fails (I can, however, do simple MP functions like read Debian's webpage). This is probably a consequence of the way IP masquerading works. Let's say I'm trying to read a Web page, so I open a connection from 192.168.1.2, port 23456 to 198.186.203.20 port 80. I send the packet to my gateway machine, 192.168.1.1. The gateway decides to masquerade the packet, so it forwards on the same packet, but coming from a different port on the gateway's external IP address. When return packets appear, they're forwarded back on to the original port of the original machine. So: +-+ 192.168.1.2:23456 192.168.1.1:3456 | desktop |---v +-+ +-+ | gateway | +-+ +-+ | server |--| +-+ 198.186.203.20:80 18.19.20.21:12345 The problem here is with protocols that include IP addresses in the packet bodies themselves. If I send a packet that says, hi there, please talk to me at 192.168.1.2, the protocol will fail because that address doesn't actually exist. For certain protocols (like FTP), there are kernel modules to do the rewriting, but there's not a good general solution to this. Short answer: something Just Don't Work with IP masquerading. MP This was a symptom I was seeing when using 2.0.* kernels, so I assumed that MP the current kernel I was working with was a bad version. Here's a history MP of my attempts after making that assumption: MP MP 2.2.12: Masquerading works fine, Drive gives strange errors MP 2.2.15: Masquerading doesn't work, Drive works fine MP 2.2.17: Same as .15 MP 2.4.0-test5: Won't boot. Out of Memory error while decompressing. Is this using the stock Debian kernel-image?

Re: subnets 2 NICS in a mashine
John wrote: Ok ill have a go, I think its something like this :) ? for each IP number bound to each NIC a route is set up in the routing table to tell the OS what to do with specific IP numbers ie if NIC1=192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 and NIC2=192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 then routes would be set up for each subnet within the OS ie 192.168.0.xxx NIC1 ie packets in the 192.168.0.1 up to 254 get sent here 192.168.1.xxx-NIC2packets in the 192.168.1.1 up to 254 get sent here there will no doubt be additional routes to deal with gateways , local, etc. now if NIC1 and NIC2 lie on the same range 192.168.0.xxx - NIC1 ie 192.168.0.1 - NIC2 ie 192.168.0.2 as i understand it you cannot have more then one route entry per subnet 192.168.0.xxx so all packets in the range 192.168.0.xxx get sent to NIC1. As far as i know you will have to use 2 subnets and if you want the 192.168.0.xxx range to be able to talk to the 192.168.1.xxx range you will need to do ipforwarding between the 2. Does ipfowarding relate on something special compiled into the kernel or do I need a certain package? Generaly I seemed to have misunderstood that IP packets are _not_ sent to a certain ethernet card but are rather propagated within the subnet? Simple example: A server with two NIC's (each NIC connected via ethernet to a client) wants to send data to only one client. This server should know by looking into /etc/hosts which IP number the client has assigned to and may not be pertubed by another client within the same subnet. Could you help me in this special example? Still learning here, mind you the more i learn the more there is to know sigh ...as every day proves :^) Robert

My debian box has several scsi disks on it, and if one is turned off at boot time, the machine mounts the wrong disks on the defined filesystems, even though they are listed correctly in /etc/fstab. Is this is a problem with the way the linux kernel handles device name allocation (is this the way to say it?). the thing is, /dev/sda is going to be the _first_ scsi disc on your system (the first one your kernel recognises), so if you turn on your machine with a only a disc with an id of 5 in the second controller, it will be /dev/sda. but if you hook up another disc with id 2 on the first controller, this new disc will become /dev/sda, nad the previously-know-as-/dev/sda wil become /dev/sdb. so: if you add or remove discs, every hd that has an scsi id higher that the one on the changed device will change its /dev/sdax place. i believe solaris does not have this problem, since it handles discs like /dev/scsi-bus-id/scsi-id or some variation... there a way to force the machine to mount a given disk on a given filesystem? Thanks! not on linux, i don't think so. hope this helps, Alberto. I'm not sure, but maybe linux 2.4 solves this.

Well, not exactly; If you have, say 5 computers that have different video cards, you'll want them configured differently (XF86config file). You'll probably need to add the same software to each workstation to support the same set of window managers and other applications. You could share /usr over nfs, and that _MIGHT_ work, but it'd be slow; plus, that could cause SERIOUS problems with package management. Mostly, I just share home out so that I have the same www bookmarks, same mail folders, and same custom scripts (under ~/bin) available to me. There are lots of issues when you do this kind of thing, though (you have to make sure your /etc/group and /etc/passwd files are synchronised across the LAN, so that every machine identifies group and user ownership correctly.

You can usually support 10 or more computers over NFS and SMB shares before you start seeing bandwith problems (on 10Mbits, on 100Mbits, you have more bandwidth that you can shake a stick at). Networks are a very difficult area, it is just attempt to understand the simplest things... Again, I think you're compicating your life by creating 2 subnets to support only 2 computers.

Could you help me in this special example? Okay, this I know about: On an ethernet network every packet of information that is transmitted by a computer is visible to all NICs on the network. For a NIC to actually accept a packet for it's machine, the packet must be addressed to that NIC's MAC address (the ethernet driver translates IPs to MACS when transmitting packets), or the nic must be in promisquious mode, which allows it to accept all packets (special case used to sniff packets). It seems you think of packets traveling around on your network as if they were a road; the data hops in a car, pulls out of it's driveway, drives down the street and pulls into another driveway, then gets out and knocks on the door of the recipient. A kind of wierd analogy might be like this: You're talking on a two-way radio (HAM, walkie-talkie, etc..), where only one person can talk at any given time. Each person is allowed 30 seconds maximum of talk time before they must pause and let someone else talk if they want. When someone starts tallking, they say I want to talk to Fred. and then they start talking. Not being interrested in what is being told to fred, everyone else ignores what is being said until they hear the phrase I want to talk to That's kind of what's going on on the physical side of the network (wire, NICs).

help with cdrom.h
Hi, I have been trying to compile the codebase for bcast 2000, a multimedia application on my debian box. Under /usr/src/linux/include/linux (kernel 2.2.17), there is a file named cdrom.h that has many DVD_* definitions. But under /usr/include/linux, the cdrom.h does not have these definitions. Thus, I get a slew of `DVD_* undeclared messages when trying to compile mpeg3css.c, which has the line #include linux/cdrom.h. What is the proper way to correct this? I'm tempted to change the #include line in the source file to go directly to the kernel sources, but it seems like there may be a better way to get my system sync'ed up. TIA, John
