Sid y apt-get upgrade
Hola a todos!! Pues parece que sólo hablo para poner problemas !! Resulta que normalmente me actualizo la Sid cada día o dos días. Pues hace cosa de 4 días hice un apt-get update, apt-get upgrade (desde dselect, aunque supongo que será esto lo que haga el dselect) y como siempre se bajó los paquetes actualizados, pero se quedó en Preconfiguring Packages, sin hacer nada más; esto es, sin dar ni un triste mensaje. Lo dejé unas 15 horas (por si tenía un timeout muy alto o algo así) y seguía igual. Luego pensé que igual era algún paquete que no estaba bien empaquetado, y me actualicé la lista otra vez. Nada. Volví a hacerlo al día siguiente y nada tampoco. Y ya es hoy. No sé que puede ser. Si a alguien le ha pasado alguna vez, agradecería que me contase como lo solucionó. Muchas gracias !! October

I have not done it myself, but looking at a Swedish LaTeX file in
emacs, I find the following:
In the beginning of the file is:

And my guess is that 'isolatin1' is the secret here.
Emacs mule says:
Coding system for saving this buffer:
1 -- iso-latin-1-unix
For getting the Swedish letters, I have a Swedish keboard, and in
the emacs files they have the character values:
å (aa) 0x8e5
ä (ae) 0x8e4
ö (oe) 0x8f6
and so on.
If you don't have a Swedish keyboard, I don't know exactly what
to do. The easiest is probably to change the keyboard encoding in
X. If you use KDE, you can easily configure a Swedish keyboard,
and it can be changed by pushing a button. I just tried to
reconfigure KDE for a german kezboard, and it was verz easz.
üÜ... (german keyboard swaps z and y). If you don't have KDE,
there are probably other ways. Actually, I can put in the dots
separately, but first pushing the double dot (diaresis) key, and
then an 'a' or 'o', this works in emacs and creates the correct
codes.

Re: duvidas
Ricardo: Eu desinstalei o debian para testar o FreeBSD, portanto por enqto não Desnecessário. Você podia ter colocado o FreeBSD em outra partição. posso testar, mas com certeza deve haver uma solução debian, nem que seja uma versão 'customisada', não?? Já procurou na página de pacotes, http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages? Você já testou o Saint? ele gera relatórios em html (ou seja qq browser, nas se é Netscape ou não, acho que é um detalhe...[na segurança] ...) Não é detalhe não. Programas tão grandes e complexos quanto o Netscape Navigator, ou mesmo o Mozilla, dificilmente serão seguros. Ainda mais quando ele inclui linguagens de extensão como o JavaScript ou o Java, e ainda por cima uma camada de portabilidade como a XPCOM, todos componentes que já apresentaram problemas no passado. Aliás já reparou que o Navigator está na versão 4.77, e todas as versões dele costumam ter várias liberações menores, como 3.04 ou 4.62, sei lá? São os problemas de segurança que aparecem e vão sendo corrigidos, com o agravante de que sendo de código fechado não dá para fazer uma boa auditoria. O Mozilla pelo menos é livre, dá para auditar. Agora, se você realmente quer segurança, esqueça o FreeBSD, vá direto para o OpenBSD. Ou fique com o Debian, que me parece ser a versão mais segura do GNU/Linux. Mas... existe um navegador de HTML seguro? Ou vc está falando da utlização de chaves de encriptação 'forte' de 128 bits? Não, a encriptação só é importante quando se fala de transações, como por exemplo o fornecimento de informações confidenciais a um servidor externo. A questão de se rodar o navegador como superusuário está mais na qualidade do código, para evitar portas do fundos, estouro de buffers, coisas assim. De maneira geral é mais fácil garantir a qualidade de código em programas menores e mais focados em suas tarefas principais, enquanto o Netscape faz zilhões de coisas: ambiente de programação, correio eletrônico e grupos de notícias, colaboração, calendário, composição de HTML e JavaScript, etc. Faz mais sentido como superusuário usar um navegador enxuto e simples como o lynx, o links ou o w3m, mesmo o Galeon seria melhor. Frederico: ?, mas ? s? ir ver o site-lisp do emacs 21 para se ter a resposta... ? o ahead-in-time-bug-squashing-mode. Não existe ainda o Emacs 21... você quis dizer XEmacs?

Re: Help on LILO!
'Cortei' o HD em três pedaços: 10Gb (em hda1 p), 200mb (hda2 p) e 10Gb (em hda3 [modo lógico]). Instalei o Linux em hda1, deixei o hda3 para a formação do DOS e coloquei o LILO no MBR. No princípio estava tudo bem, ambas as Na minha experiência o melhor é instalar o Windows primeiro, e evitar usar o modo lógico. Isso porque a instalação do Windows bagunça a tabela de partições e tenta matar o Lilo. Mas não sou especialista em Lilo, então pediria para alguém mais na lista fornecer dicas melhores. -- _ / \ Leandro Guimarães Faria Corcete Dutra+55 (11) 3040 8913 \ / Amdocs Brasil Ltda at Tele Danmark+45 3387 5214 X http://terravista.pt./Enseada/1989/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Campanha fita ASCIImailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Debian install on RAID hardware
hey raf I dont know that much about this kind of thing, but it looks like no one else with more knowledge has stepped up to bat. The most recent megaraid driver available for 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels is megaraid-1.14g-ac, as found in Alan Cox's kernel 2.4.2-ac24. that 2.4.2-ac24 is probably a kernel patch (by alan cox). If so, you need to patch the 2.4.2 kernel source with that patch, compile it, then load it onto the debian installer floppy and configure the debian installer floppy to use that kernel instead of the default one. unfortunately, I have no idea how to patch a kernel or to make a custom installer floppy. but surely, someone else on this list does, and perhaps this will motivate them to speak. jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] jason.pepas.com - Original Message - From: Rafael Hinojosa [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2001 10:47 PM Subject: Debian install on RAID hardware Here I go again, one more time.

The organization I belong to just received a new Dell PowerEdge 1400 with the PercRAID 2/DC dual channel RAID card. Current plans are to use this machine to replace an old server. This question has probably been addressed before but I'll go ahead and ask. We would like to know what needs to get done for Debian to see and install on this machine... I've had a previous experience with a similar config on a seperate Dell server with RedHat (in fact very similar). The solution there was to use RH7 or a 2.4 kernel. Where would I get a Debian install disk that ran 2.4? We've already scoured the web for information pertaining to the install phase. In fact, we were able to download driver disks to successfully see the RAID card during boot. Before that, the machine just hung while probing the card. Once we were able to get to the installer screen, the other problem we ran into came during partitioning. The installer didn't even see a disk. I'm not quite sure what we are missing. My guess is that we would have to partition the logical RAID volume to be recognized by the installer. I haven't had the time to search through /dev or dmesg to see if a device comes up. I'm guessing that I could try doing it that way, finding the device and then trying to initiallize the drive from a console shell after the installer has come up... Yes? My other approach is to find a spare disk, insert it into the machine and attempt to install on a non-RAID volume. This brings me to the question, can Debian be installed on a RAID volume? If anyone has had any previous experience getting this card to work under Debian, some advice would be appreciated. Sorry for the long-winded e-mail; Thanks, --Raf --- Rafael A.

And I still have further questions: When testing becomes stable later will it automatically upgrade to that version of hotplug over my compiled version when I do an apt-get dist-upgrade? Also, where does it put the source package and the compiled stuff if I do it this way? And how would I remove it later if I need to do this? Would apt-get remove hotplug work for that?

But I always have emacs running anyway, so there's an annoying duplication when mutt starts its own emacs session. Is there any way to cause mutt to use an already running emacs as its editor? Hi, I don't use Emacs with mutt, but the following may be of some help. First the Emacs part: in your .emacs file put the line (server-start) This starts the Emacs server. Now you can use the 'emacsclient' program to make your principal Emacs visit any file. To test that it works, you can do emacsclient foo.txt in an Xterm. This should open a buffer containing foo.txt in your main Emacs. When you've finished editing the buffer, type 'C-x #' to tell 'emacsclient' that you are through. Now for the mutt aspect: in your .muttrc put the line set editor=emacsclient Now whenever you want to compose a message, mutt will open a buffer in your principal Emacs. To finish editing the message, type 'C-x #' as above. Note that this will work only if you start your Emacs session before invoking mutt. Best, Raghavendra. -- N.

Re: How to remove messages from mbox based on relative date?
Quoting Mike Fedyk ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I've looked into this, and neither procmail nor formail have any facilities to process mail based on date, unless it's the current date. You could have mail put in a folder 04-2001 for instance, but that is based on the current date and not the date in the message. You could probably do some matching on the date: header but I don't want to do that. Your two paragraphs appear to contradict each other. If you process email using the Date: header, then you're basing your processing on the date it was allegedly sent. If you process email using the output of the date command, then you're basing your processing on the current date. Obviously the examples in man procmailex concentrate on the latter because people use procmail to process their live incoming mail (and some of it will have bizarre Date: headers anyway). OTOH man formail's example uses the Date: header, partly as an excuse to warn of the dangers of using the -a switch which writes From_ lines in what is probably going to be a format that mailers can't grok.

cron: nth weekday of month?
I've got a job I'd like to run once a month, on a set day of the week, say, the first Sunday of the month. Suggestions as to how to do this with cron? My understanding is that I can specify day of month, or weekday, but if both are specified the condition is treated as an OR (if first week of month OR Sunday, then do...). E.g.: 48 2 1 * 7 do-stuff ...would run on the first of the month, and each Sunday. I could set a job to run either each Sunday, or each of the first seven days of the month, and test the appropriate other condition. Or schedule an 'at' job for the first coming Sunday (at a later time than the cron job runs). Actually, this last is probably the cleanest solution: 1 0 1 * * echo command -args | at 1:07 sunday ...should do the trick. You're scheduling a command to schedule a command.

Re: swapping hard disks
I am definitely a casual GNU/Linux user and a newbie, so please don't take take this suggestion as absolutely correct. When I first used Linux it was RHat, and I definitely wanted to keep Windows working without incident. My approach was to load Linux on a second hard drive physically switch the IDE cable to dual boot. Yes, I know, primitive. I did a bit of reading and found that I could leave the Linux disk as primary, use LILO to boot Windows on the second drive. You will need more information on bootable partitions and drive addressing (that is, hda hdc). I'm very foggy in those areas. The command 'fdisk' can make partitions bootable. I believe that wherever LILO is located must be a bootable partition. The lilo.conf file that achieved booting from selected disks follows: boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 disk = /dev/hdc sectors = 63 heads = 255 cylinders = 784 other=/dev/hdc1 map-drive = 0x80 to = 0x81 map-drive = 0x81 to = 0x80 label = win95 table = /dev/hdc image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.31 label=linux root=/dev/hda1 read-only I hope this was some help, good luck!

Well, I just installed a new Geforce2 MX a couple days ago and had no problems, so I'll tell you what I did. This is using unstable and already having X 4 installed. If you don't have X 4 installed, you should probably upgrade to it; and if you're not using unstable, these instructions may not help you (in which case I recommend following the decent instructions on nvidia's website). It would help you if you would describe your system (which version of Debian you're using, which version of X, what you tried to do to set up the card, etc.) I'll go ahead and post what I did anyway in case it benefits anyone. First, prereqs: Make sure you have the kernel-package package installed, along with the source for your kernel (the appropriate kernel-headers package may work; I don't know), and the usual stuff needed to compile stuff (like gcc, dev versions of typical libraries, etc.). Anyway, once you're ready: 1. Assuming you're running X 4, run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and choose nv for the video card driver. Start X and make sure it works (you'll have 2D but no 3D hardware acceleration). 2. apt-get install nvidia-kernel-src nvidia-glx-src 3. Switch to the directory with your kernel source or headers (hopefully this will work with just kernel-headers; I haven't tried it since I compile my own kernels) and run make-kpkg modules_image 4. You now have a package with the kernel module in the directory above the dir with your kernel source; cd.. and install it with dpkg -i 5. cd to /usr/src/nvidia-glx-# (where # is a version number like 0.9.769) and type dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc 6.

My bios is AMIBIOS (Bios Version 1.00.09.CS1), which have Ide Translation Mode options (auto detect selected) Standard CHS and Extended CHS, so this shouldn't be problem.

Re: howto identify missing stdlib.h after compile?
Hi,
You can't, because it's not. As long as your program is linked with a
library that exports atof (in this case, glibc), and you call it correctly,
then
there's no problem.
Of course, if you don't include the declaration of atof (which is what's in
stdlib.h), then the compiler can't check the type and number of parameters,
and the type of the return value of the function.
That's obviously bad - which is why you should always compile with -Wall.
It'll
then warn you that you're using a function it knows nothing about.

configuring two outgoing gateways
I have two DSL lines which each have a different gateway and use a different static IP address. I have both lines multiplexed onto the same wire using a switch and cross-over cables, but I only connect to one DSL line at a time on the ethernet card in my Debian box. Sometimes one of the DSL lines will go down and I want to switch to the other one, so I just swap in a different /etc/network/interfaces file: cp /etc/network/interfaces.dsl2 /etc/network/interfaces ifdown eth0 ifup eth0 It seems to me there must be a better way to utilize the two DSL lines. But I'm not sure where to start looking. The ultimate would be to utilize the bandwidth of both lines simultaneously to simulate one bigger bandwidth line, but I imagine this will be difficult to set up. The next best thing would be to have outgoing packets try the first gateway, and if that fails, automatically try the second gateway. But I'm not sure how to even begin to configure this. I'd appreciate any suggestions on where I should start reading? -- Erik Reuter [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.erikreuter.com/

I was speaking generically about PDA's (Personal Digital Assistants, like Palm) just because there might be others with similar functionality that might be better for you than Palm (with the proprietary Palm OS): for example, the Compaq PocketPC can run Linux with even some X-Windows (or so I've heard), so I guess it should be quite feasible to run Octave in that environment (though I'd be hesitant myself to buy it considering MS would get royalties from the deafult WinCE it ships with). Instead, Sharp is supposedly bringing out a similar PDA that natively ships with some form of Linux.

Re: Gnus as email client (was: GUI Email program)
JS I would like to know what is it that you like so much about JS Emacs+Gnus? I am not trying to be sarcastic or something like that. JS I have tried to configure gnus a few times for using with email and JS found it a frustration to get working. In which ways would gnus be JS better than mutt and pine for example? Maybe I never saw it working JS properly. JS I like emacs and use it regularly, but could never understand why the JS gnus users are so enthusiastic about using gnus for mail. I'm happy Emacs+Gnus user. I've used pine before. One reason why I've changed my mail reader was: 1) I want one client for both mail and news. 2) I use Emacs for almost everything. Gnus is convenient for me because I got used to Emacs keybindings. Gnus is convenient for me because it is integrated in Emacs. Many people seems to dislike Gnus a lot because it forces them to read their mails in quite specific way. This is because in first place Gnus is newsreader. First time after my transition I also found it quite confusing but now I got used to it. Some other pros I've found later against pine: 1) Gnus have support for threading (I know recent version of pine also have support for this but last version I've used did not have it) 2) With help of supercite it can make very complex quoting 3) With help of mailcrypt it has *integrated* support for PGP 4) I like adaptive scoring which I use to filter Debian and FreeBSD maillists. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/)| | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I've got a job I'd like to run once a month, on a set day of the week, say, the first Sunday of the month. Suggestions as to how to do this with cron? My understanding is that I can specify day of month, or weekday, but if both are specified the condition is treated as an OR (if first week of month OR Sunday, then do...). E.g.: 48 2 1 * 7 do-stuff ...would run on the first of the month, and each Sunday. I could set a job to run either each Sunday, or each of the first seven days of the month, and test the appropriate other condition. Or schedule an 'at' job for the first coming Sunday (at a later time than the cron job runs). Actually, this last is probably the cleanest solution: 1 0 1 * * echo command -args | at 1:07 sunday ...should do the trick. You're scheduling a command to schedule a command. For the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks of the month, change the day to the 8th, 15th, or 22nd, respectively. Thoughts, anyone? It is messy, isn't it. What I did was to put the day of the week in the cron file and then tested (using date) in the script to see if it is the right one. Unfortunately, this splits the logic of when the thing runs into two places. I thought using the day of the week in cron made it a little clearer as to what was going on. I have a dislike for at since it is a little harder to get to if you want to cancel it. I don't think there is a clean way to do this. I hate having the logic split like that but life goes on anyway.

I have downloaded a few packages as root user and downloaded to root's home directory ' /root' but haven't yet tried installing because it just doesn't seem right to do it from /root for fear of screwing up the system. I know how to move a package to a different directory if that will help, but to which directory? Is /root a good directory to download into or is there a better choice? It seems that Debian has some good commands for downloading packages but here again, what preliminary preparations such as mentioned above are recommended? Am I tilting at windmills?
