Re: Controlador de sonido AC97
U ! Me llevó una mañana pero creo que ya tengo la placa funcionando con los drivers de alsa sobre potato. Les cuento cómo: Efectivamente los drivers de ALSA que vienen con woody soportan a esta placa. Los paquetes que hay que instalar serían: alsa-modules, alsa-base, alsa_utils y libasound1 Los alsa-modules parecen depender mucho del kernel que uno utilice, de manera que consideré más prudente instalar el paquete alsa-source y recompilarlo yo mismo. Tomé el alsa-source de woody (0.5.9d-4) lo instalé y recompilé tanto el kernel como los módulos (con kernel-package la cosa se simplifica mucho). El paquete alsa-modules así generado se instala casi sin problemas en potato. Casi porque depende de alsa-base de woody... No hay problema, se puede instalar el alsa-base de woody (0.5.9d-4) sobre potato. alsa-base sugiere alsa-utils aunque no aclara que versión. Supuse que también haría falta la de Potato (0.5.9b-1). alsa-utils 0.5.9b-1 depende de libasound1 =0.5.5. libasound 0.5.9-1 de woody se puede instalar sin problemas sobre Potato. El problema es que alsa-utils 0.5.9b-1 también depende de libc6 =2.1.94 y aquí abandoné los paquetes de woody, me niego a instalar el libc6 nuevo. Intenté recompilar nuevamente el paquete alsa-utils 0.5.9b-1 desde los fuentes pero no tuve éxito (el aclocal se queja de que no tiene definido el macro AM_PATH_ALSA). (Respondiendo parcialmente la pregunta de Gabriel: generalmente es posible tomar los fuentes de woody y recompilarlos en potato para evitar la dependencia con las bibliotecas nuevas. En *este* caso no funcionó, otras veces anda). Finalmente instalé alsa-utils de woody con un --force-depends. Hasta el momento (toco madera) no encontré el porqué de la dependencia con una libc6 =2.1.94 Otras tareas: - Agregar en modules.conf (o mejor: en un archivo aparte en el directorio /etc/modutils y luego ejecutar update-modules) las líneas sobre la interdependencia de los módulos alsa. Yo puse tal cual lo que encontré en /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/examples/modules.conf. - Crear los devices: ejecutando el script que se puede encontrar en /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/snddevices - Cargar el módulo de la tarjeta: modprobe snd-card-via686a Ojo que por default el mixer está con todos los volúmenes en cero. Ejecutar el alsamixer o cualquier otro para cambiarlos. -- Saludos, O__ Enzo.,/ ()=\() Enzo A.

Crontab falla?
Verán, tengo un servidor dando servicio web detrás de un cortafuegos. El servidor web no es directamente accesible desde el exterior, por lo que he puesto un redirector de direcciones y puertos (redir) para que se redireccionen las peticiones al puerto 80 sobre la ip pública (cortafuegos) hacia la ip privada interior(servidor web). Hasta aquí todo fenomenal. El problema radica en que en ocasiones se muere el puñetero redir, por lo que he optado por realizar un pequeño script en bash, que mire si el redir sigue activo y que en caso contrario lo resucite. El script en cuestión funciona perfectamente, es decir, si el redir no está activo en el puerto 80 y yo ejecuto /rutacorrecta/script, éste levanta el redir. Sin embargo si añado en el crontab: 0-59/5 * * * * /rutacorrecta/script el script parece no ejecutarse nunca. Sabe alguien donde puñetas puede estar el error? Y ya que estamos con el tema, conoce alguien algún otro redirector que no se muera como lo hace redir. Gracias por adelantado.

Pues con el wwwoffle se consigue muy bien. La idea es que tienes andando el wwwoffle, de modo que cuando estás desconectado está off-line (así que almacena las peticiones). En tu ~/.gnupg/options debes tener descomentada la opción honor-http-proxy, y además debes tener definida la variable de entorno http_proxy=http://localhost:8080 Y con eso quedan las peticiones almacenadas. Luego, cuando conectes, haces el wwwoffle -fetch para que se baje todas las peticiones pendientes, y ya tienes las claves. El problema es que para incluir las claves en tu anillo deberías acceder de nuevo a mensajes de las mismas personas, claro.

Hint: if someone can snoop the wire at your ISP and you use PAP to
login, they can snoop your password. The password is obfuscated but can
still be decrypted if you know the secret and if they know some
legit passwords, they can derive the secret.
Thanks for all the advice though. I'm going to start shopping around and see
what else is available. In the mean time I've sent emails to every possible
combination of [EMAIL PROTECTED] that I think will get through to an
administrator. Who knows, maybe my email will give some administrator some
ammo to take to the next board meeting ;-)
To the best of my knowledge there isn't a common secure replacement for
FTP (yes, I know about scp and 'sftp', both of which rely on ssh, and
both of which make it a rule that you need a shell on the remote machine
-- which adds a huge security risk in most ISP setups).
Blame the US Gov't for their crappy crypto policy stifling crypto
development for years. Blame them for the RSA patent for holding it up
some more. Blame RSA for many years of claiming to own any and all PK
crypto, whether it had any relation to RSA and DH or not. Blaming the
ISP because they haven't written a secure replacement for FTP (and the
attendant server and clients) that doesn't add new security problems
seems really stupid.

(and of course win* and macos clients have to be written/fixed to work with it) really i don't think it should be that hard to modify the current OpenSSH just a bit to do chroot() in a simpler and cleaner way, and instead of running a shell run the sftpserv utility, the various gnome graphical ftp clients support this very nicely, you can't even tell its scp and not ftp. the only problem with this solution is it prevents users from changing there passwd in the usual way (shell set to /usr/bin/passwd) -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/ pgpxzvcCiWQmB.pgp Description: PGP signature

unbootable 2.4.0-test10
Hello, After an unproblematic build of 2.4.0-test10 kernel (using make-kpkg) for my woody based (SMP) computer rebooting results in: boot: 240-smp1 Loading 240-smp1 Uncompressing Linux, OK, booting the kernel NOTING HAPPENS AFTER THIS POINT, reset or power toggle is the only way out I wonder, what is the possible cause of this hang, and how to solve that? I've built 2.2.x custom kernels (enabling SMP, alsa-modules, lm-sensors, i2c) without any problems before. A few questions: 1. Which differences (if any) are there between 2.2.x and 2.4.x regarding boot sequence? 2. Any changes needed in the BIOS setup? 3. Which modules have to be compiled into the kernel? For 2.2.x I found that the scsi driver aic7xxx had to be compiled in, not used as a module. I have both IDE and SCSI disks installed as well as IDE CDROM and SCSI CDRW. 4. If there are problems with module loading, shouldn't the boot proceed further than above? I have the latest versions of modutils (2.3.19-1) and mount (2.10o-1). Eventually the modules.conf file is not optimized for 2.4.0 (it is for 2.2.17). 5. Can I boot the kernel(s) 2.2.17 and 2.4.0-test10 by moving away modules.conf, for testing purposes? 6. Since the configuration order in the .config files have changed between 2.2.x and 2.4.0 it is not so easy to compare them. Any hints? Hoping for help. Svante Signell

So it assumes that you're a spammer or something like that and doesn't accept the mail.

Re: Recomended NIC for router/server
There are some compatability issues between different NIC, hubs switches. You'd do well to check with you switch manufacturer which NICs they recommend. I'll not name names, since I'd only be repeating info from magazine articles rather than 1st-hand experience. To offload some of the processing onto the NIC you really need a parallel-processing card, for which 3Com springs immediately to mind. Can be expensive though.

backtick is slanted backwards and the single quote is completely
vertical. How horrible! Imagine how terrible my TeX-files will look!

1) Select a font with xfontsel and then paste your selection to ~/.Xdefaults,
like
rxvt*font: -misc-fixed-medium-*-normal-*-15-140-75-75-c-*-iso8859-1
man rxvt,xterm,X ...
Then your x-terminal-emulator (rxvt, like in the case above or xterm ...)
will start up with the chosen font.
2) Or if you are using a desktop environment like gnome or kde and its
respective terminal-emulator (gnome-terminal, konsole) choose your font

modprobe lp failure
Hi there, I was just trying to configure my printer and the modprobe lp command fails. However I am able to start the printer manually by using insmod lp, but it fails at boottime. By searching in a few newsgroups I figured out that the lp.o module in kernel 2.2.17 is somehow broken. So I just wanted to know if there exists a solution yet without having to recompile the kernel because I don't have the time for that right now.

You have to checkout the module. And the -z3 will have the transfer

update the repository, just 'cd' into the 'gote' directory and run:
$ export CVSROOT=`cat CVS/Root`

Some applications specify fonts using pixel sizes, so they will stay the same. Start X with the -dpi 75 option. IIRC, if you use the startx command, you call it as startx -- -dpi 75 If you use xdm, gdm, or kdm (or something else like that), you'll need to tell it to launch the X server with that option. For xdm, edit the /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file, and add -dpi 75 to the end of the line that begins :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X11. I'm not sure about the others. One little-documented feature in X4 (that may change, but i hope not) is the DisplaySize keyword in the Monitor section. I use that to tell X that my monitor's displayable area is 319.024x239.268mm, and from that and the pixel size X will calculate the DPI for me. Why it wants millimeters, i don't know. I did have to edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers, the default file passed '-dpi 100' to X, which overrides this setting. Even with this, the fonts in the Netscape controls were too large until i put 75dpi before 100dpi in my font path... Or maybe i've just gotten used to the too-small fonts from X3, so seeing them at the intended size looked too big? ;) -- finger for GPG public key. pgpb1IwHnmvHF.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Workstation and IP-Masquerading
Theres two options - you can do as you want and use one of the existing machines as a firewall/masq box etc, but it will have to be running linux. It will work, but will be less secure, and more confusing than the second option. Are you aware that any low-end pentium or 486 will work fine as a firewall? it doesn't have to be a flash machine... I was using a 486 SX33 with 12 Mb ram and 500 Mb HD for about 12 months. It doesn't need a monitor or keyboard (unless you want to display syslogd on it - herc mono monitors are very good for that.) The other advantage of this is that things are easier all-round. At 11:02 AM 11/11/00 +0100, you wrote: Hi, I have two PC's at home and would like to share my internet connection (DSL) between them.

The tool to control the SCSI bus is called camcontrol on FreeBSD. My question is, how is this done in Linux and Debian? Is the functionality as mature and good? Not my area of expertise, but I believe this is specific to RAID features. I'd look to Linux-kernel specific documenation on this. FYI, I prefer on-list responses. This protects both of us -- me from random queries, you from my underinformed knowledge. Hmm. That's unfortunate. I have heard some people mention some shortcomings in the kernel device naming scheme. E.g. /dev/sda is always the scsi disk with the lowest (?) SCSI ID. That would seem to prevent Linux from being able to handle hot swapping the way FreeBSD does. It seems that if this is the case, then hot-swapping in a new disk could rename your boot device from e.g. /dev/sda1 to /dev/sdb1 or something bad like that. My understanding is that the RAID interface itself provides single point of contact for the device. Physical arrangements beneath this are handled by the RAID interface, and are transparent to the kernel or remainder of the OS. Again, I'd strongly recommend you read the relevant docs. -- Karsten M.

Joystick troubles
Hi,
I am trying to get a joystick (any joystick) connected to my Woody
system and I was hoping to get some helpful hints from you people.
I have a SB Awe32 and I am trying to get a Logitech Wingman to work with
its gameport. I tried the same with a Sidewinder pad - same result.
I compiled support for traditional and Sidewinder sticks as modules.
I ran the following file through isapnp:
---SNIP---
# (DEBUG)
(READPORT 0x0273)
(ISOLATE PRESERVE)
(IDENTIFY *)
(VERBOSITY 2)
(CONFLICT (IO FATAL)(IRQ FATAL)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) # or WARNING
(CONFIGURE CTL00c3/361933426 (LD 0
(INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 1))
(DMA 1 (CHANNEL 5))
(IO 0 (SIZE 16) (BASE 0x0220))
(IO 1 (SIZE 2) (BASE 0x0330))
(IO 2 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0388))
(NAME CTL00c3/361933426[0]{Audio })
(ACT Y)))
(CONFIGURE CTL00c3/361933426 (LD 1
# Compatible device id PNPb02f
# ANSI string --Game--
(IO 0 (SIZE 8) (BASE 0x0200))(ACT Y)))
(CONFIGURE CTL00c3/361933426 (LD 2
(IO 0 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0620))
(NAME CTL00c3/361933426[2]{WaveTable })
(ACT Y)))
(WAITFORKEY)
---SNIP---
This is supposed to activate the game port of the Awe32 at I/O port
0x200.
After that, I tried an 'insmod joystick' - no problem.
But a 'modprobe joy-analog js_an=0x200,0x003b' gave me the following
error message:
---SNIP---
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/joy-analog.o: init_module: Device or resource
busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/joy-analog.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/joy-analog.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/joy-analog.o: insmod joy-analog failed
---SNIP---
What do I have to do to get this joystick (or any joystick) working?
Any support would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Juergen

Re: Debian 2.2 crashes with Netscape..help
Hi there. Before spending money on a new system you should really think about switching to a more Unix like way of handling mail. There are several programs which are very powerful when dealing with mail, and because they are used at the shell or out of a script they don't consume nearly as much memory as Netscape or Gnome. For example I use a combination of exim, fetchmail, procmail and mutt. (I assume you have a dialup internet connection, too otherwise fetchmail is not needed) -Exim delivers local and remote mail, -fetchmail gets your messages of the server (can be configured to check all your e-mail addresses in one run) -procmail sorts the messages to various files, (is not needed but very useful if you are subscribed to a few mailinglists) -mutt finally is a text-based mail reader Hope I convinced you ;-) Nikolai. -- +-+ | Escape the | | Gates of hell. | | | http://www.debian.org | Use Linux. | +-+

Has anybody managed to get the above sound chip working under Debian 2.2, using ALSA? I've browsed the [EMAIL PROTECTED] archives for two hours now. Plenty of people have had problems, nobody has posted with a solution. Perhaps they've solved their own problems, and not bothered to report back to the list?

Hi I am using woody and I am having the same problem. Last Sunday I did an upgrade and got the new XFree 4. Since then quite a few things have been getting worse and worse. The worst is that since 2 days starting X makes the screen black and the machine locks-up. Actually I don't think the machine is locked, it is just unable to read the keyboard (and mouse). While I was looking sadly at the black screen, anacron started the usual updatedb and did it fine (as far as I can guess from the noise!). Other problems have been a) while using X, text is displayed well, but the characters I type are displayed too close to each other, so that it's impossible to read them. b) suspend to disk works only from time to time.

nfs problems: can't find request slot
I have a shared /home directory under two machines: a box called strago, running OpenBSD 2.7, and a box called shadow, running woody. /home is an entire harddisk on strago, mounted on shadow through NFS. The line I use in fstab to mount /home is: strago:/home /home nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr Lately, the nfs connection to strago has been dying, for unknown reasons, causing shadow to crash hard. (No ctrl-alt-del, Magic SysRq Key, or any of that will work, nor can I telnet/ssh in from another host and reboot from there.) This has been happening more and more frequently, to the point that it has now occurred 5 times today. Sometimes, if I can tell that the NFS connection has died, I can quickly umount /home as root and remount it again, at which point everything ends up working fine, with no crashes or anything. The error messages I get (as logged in /var/log/messages) are as follows: Nov 11 19:12:46 shadow kernel: nfs: server strago not responding, still trying Nov 11 19:13:01 shadow kernel: nfs: task 4940 can't get a request slot Nov 11 19:13:02 shadow kernel: nfs: task 4954 can't get a request slot Nov 11 19:13:09 shadow kernel: nfs: task 4955 can't get a request slot Nov 11 19:14:47 shadow kernel: nfs: task 4956 can't get a request slot It's not a (physical) connection problem between the two machines (at least as far as I can tell) ... status LEDs on both NICs still blink, and the connection will work fine after the Debian box has been rebooted or if I can quickly umount remount /home. On the OpenBSD end, I was running nfsd with the options -tun 4 (which means serve tcp and udp clients, with 4 servers. By advisory of the OpedBSD mailing list, I pumped the # of servers up to 16, but the problems persist. The machine isn't being used to export NFS to anywhere else, so 16 servers should be more than enough for my needs (right?) Anyone have any ideas on what's going wrong, and what I can try to fix it?

I captured the startx messages and saw the following listed as errors: (EE) CIRRUS(0): No valid MMIO address in PCI config space (EE) CIRRUS(0): I2C initialization failed Any clues? -- Bob Nielsen, N7XY [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bainbridge Island, WA http://www.oz.net/~nielsen
Debian potato / KDE2 - deb's
After doing an apt-get dist-upgrade (with stopped kdm) today I'm not longer able to work with KDE2. kdm starts and gives me the blue backgound only. Sometimes - I could not figure out yet under what conditions - it gives me the kdm-login window but without icons and it wont take any keyboardinput. When I start KDE2 from console it starts up but it gives me the desktop with icons only - no panel. Rightclick brings the menu but logout does nothing. Kernel 2.2.17, 128MB, (plenty of HDspace) Anyone expirienced this or similar things or any tip how to fix this? Matth

Shortly after, vim wouldn't work anymore, giving errors with libXi.so.6 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, although that lib was there... And when I ended up rebooting the whole thing, it didn't get passed the fsck, saying that the root file system is mounted read only. I looked at /sbin/e2fsck, and it's permission is set to br-xr-S--x, so I can't fire it up. ^^ uh nice, fsck is fscked ;-) thats a setgid, not group executable not world readable block device. I welcome any suggestion (what else can I do at this point!). Thanks! your filesystem is corrupted, hopefully not too severely but you will need to boot from a rescue floppy to fsck / and then see what is still hosed after that, you will likely need to reinstall e2fsprogs, and perhaps some other packages if you find further corrupted files. what kernel are you running? -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/ pgpl2vpFRxpbj.pgp Description: PGP signature
