Hola lista les quiero contar algo que me paso ayer a la noche... bueno compile el kernel, salio chiquito. con los modulos justos para mi equipo. reinicio levanta todo perfecto, y a la hora de cargar las particiones de win me dice que no puede cargar vfat y me fijo en la configuracion y en efecto se me olvido ese detalle. se me ocurrio compilarlo de vuelta, hago lo de siempre make bzImage make modules make modules_install y copio el kernel a su lugar. preparado a reiniciar, se me ocurre probar si lo podia cargar y en efecto no tuve problemas. como puede ser ??? la pregunta es con solo actualizar los modulos ya anda ? o el bzImage que yo pegue ya esta funcionando desde el momento que lo pegue ? o cuando llamo al modulo leo la copia del bzImage, no entiedo como es que se hace realidad ? muchas gracias a todos por estar siempre.. PD si alguien sabe como hacer para borrar con backspace y no con control h bienvenido sea !!! --- ---
Dudas en instalacion de debian.
Saludos al la lista...

Re: Versiones de paquetes en Potato
El vie, 05/25/01 may 01, a las 02:00, Gunnar Wolf decía: Hola, Mi pregunta puede sonar muy, muy taruga... Pero bueno, los que me conocen de entre ustedes saben que apenas estoy cambiando de RH a Debian :) Después de un par de semanas de estar probando con una maquinita menor, estoy instalando Potato en un servidor que espero tener en producción en unos días. Me llaman la atención los números de versión - Yo se que Potato tiene versiones más viejas, pero probadas en su estabilidad. Sin embargo, me llama la atención que siga apareciendo la versión 1.3.9 de Apache, que tiene varios agujeros conocidos. Sé que los paquetes de Debian vienen parchados - ¿Incluyen estos parches los agujeros corregidos en versiones posteriores? Lo único que tienes que hacer, en ese sentido, es incluir en tu sources.list una línea apuntando al repositorio de seguridad, que, si no me equivoco, para potato debe ser algo como ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security stable/updates main contrib non-free En debian, creo, todos los agujeros de seguridad se tapan en todas las versiones 'vivas'. Aparte de estas actualizaciones, bugs importantes no relacionados con la seguridad, para la versión estable, se obtienen también mediante 'proposed-updates', otra línea en sources.list. Todo esto debe estar explicado por alguna parte, pero no estoy seguro de acertar. Saludos. -- He pedido drivers para Linux. Nº 00073030: http://www.libranet.com/petition.html José Esteban Granada.

Re: MARK
Tengo una máquina por ahí con Debian Potato que suele estar encendida todo el día. Me vengo fijando en que en el /var/log/messages aparece a menudo algo como --- MARK --- Es normal, no se porqué lo hace, a ver si alguien más sabio nos lo explica ... Señores, busquen antes de preguntar! :-) Me tomó menos de un minuto encontrar que el syslog de debian manda una linea --- MARK --- cada tanto tiempo, para que sea fácil detectar si alguien ha modificado la fecha/hora. De hecho, en la línea 98 de man 8 syslogd encontramos: -m interval The syslogd logs a mark timestamp regularly. The default interval between two -- MARK -- lines is 20 minutes. This can be changed with this option. Setting the interval to zero turns it off entirely. Saludos!

Incompatibilidad entre Mozilla y Netscape?
Buenas. Tengo una Debian Potato, actualizada a la ultima release. Me instale el nuevo Mozilla (que me baje del mismo sitio de donde el galeon) y cuando lo instalo, me deja de funcionar El Netscape 4.77 que tiene la Potato. Es esto normal? Cuando digo que deja de funcionar, me refiero a que le doy al icono del Netscape, y parece que hace algo el disco duro, pero se para enseguida, y ni siquiera da algun error ni nada por el estilo Gracias, un saludo.
Cosa rara con sonido en kde
El problema es el siguiente en mi casa tengo una placa de sonido aureal vortex 2, en linux no hay drivers pero hay un modulo externo que se baja de aureal.sourceforge.net, se compila el nucleo con oss (open sound system) no como modulo y despues se compila el modulo de aureal que lo instala como au8830, yo agregue au8830 en /etc/modules y lo carga lo mas bien. El sonido anda bien para todas las aplicaciones que no sean de KDE, el freeamp o xmms por ejemplo pero en kde a veces anda y a veces no es completamente aleatorio no importa si entro como root o como usuario normal y por ejemplo si al entrar en kde se escucha la musica de bienvenida el sonido va a funcionar con el reproductor multimedia de kde si no se escucha la musica de bienvenida con las aplicaciones de sonido de kde. Igual cuando se escucha la musica de bienvenida se escucha entrecortada, aunque despues el sonido funcione bien, lo que me parece raro es que es completamente azaroso no depende del usuario que use, si alguien tiene idea de que puede ser esto mandenme alguna pista. Gracias de antemano y saludos.
¿Como puedo emplear el wvdial con pon poff?

Como redirigir correo?

Como gpart salvo mi día (algo largo)
Escribo para contarles de un problema que les podría llegar a suceder, y como lo resolví, casi por pura suerte. Resulta que estaba cambiando la disposición de mis particiones para poner en práctica algo que leí acerca de poner nosuid a /tmp y /home En fin, decidi anotar la disposición actual de mis particiones (CHS) existentes: /dev/hdc1 ext 2 2362 /dev/hdc2 /home 23632489 /dev/hdc5 /usr/local 2 1181 -- vacio -- /dev/hdc6 /var/spool/news 14371819 /dev/hdc7 /data 18202362 Entro a fdisk, anoto los CHS, borro las particiones 6 y 7,uso Partition Magic para crear una nueva partición en el espacio vacio, regreso a Linux, modifico el fstab y vuelvo a crear las particiones con fdisk según lo que tenía anotado. Reinicio y... fsck no identifica a /dev/hdc7 (antes c6) como partición ext2 (aquello del superblock no válido). Obviamente me extraño muchísimo, pues se supone que fdisk solo modifica la localización de las particiones y no su contenido, por lo que intenté cambiar el superbloque, borrar de nuevo la partición recién creada, recrear y recrear hasta el cansancio, sin éxito. Aquí entro a usar gpart, el cual me identifica mi partición correctamente, iniciando en 1436 (como que dice un menos en todas las particiones). Y aqui está lo raro, que fijándome en los sectores, reporta que mi particion debería iniciar en el 23069403, cuando al crearla con fdisk me la inicia en 23069444. Ambos inicios son reportados como (1437/1/1), pero son en realidad diferentes. Hago el cambio directo con fdisk, y listo! Santo remedio. No sé como la partición llegó a ser creada en un sector diferente (tal vez PQMagic?), pero la sugerencia o moraleja es: revisar siempre el sector de inicio de las particiones, y no solo la dirección CHS (especialmente si se usa alguna utilidad de reparticionado). Espero esto le sea útil a alguien.

Re: Como redirigir correo?
Es que a lo mejor no expliqué bien mi duda. Entiendo que en .forward puedo poner una dirección para que me redirija mi correo, pero no me queda claro si simplemente puedo poner, por ejemplo [EMAIL PROTECTED] (siendo ese mi usuario y mi maquina definidia en /etc/hosts) y ya. Además no me queda claro de que manera mi linuxclient va a recibir el email: cuando se conecte a linuxserver, en el momento que se lo mande, etc. Y si no tengo que hacer nada en linuxclient para que lo pueda recibir.

ICMP message type destination unreachable...
Hi all, I have been receiving the following entries in my syslog: May 25 22:02:02 j001 ippl: ICMP message type destination unreachable - bad port from 127.0.0.1 They are triggered whenever I fetch my mail from my POP account. Both fetchmail and masqmail cause the same thing. This also happens when mail generated by the machine is delivered, so it likely has nothing to do with the POP retrieval. (I have masqmail installed to retrieve and send mail via a service provider) I have also encountered a similar message with a non-localhost ip: ippl: ICMP message type destination unreachable - bad host from 206.x.x.x The ip address is for a dns server used by the isp I connect to the internet with. (this is according to dig -x [ipaddress] I've been reading docs all day and would appreciate some help, a bit of knowledge, (a whack upside my head with a cluestick?) that is offered. What could my mail system be attempting to do here? Is there something misconfigured in masqmail?

Printer Question
Hi all, Trying to get my printer working but having some problems with it. I used to have an HP Laserjet 6L which I had working on an earlier Debian Potato installation. Now I have a new installation and a new printer. My printer is an Epson Stylus Color 880. Still running Potato. Anyway, I have lprng, gs-aladdin, and magicfilter installed as I did on my previous installation. The device that the printer is showing up as has seemed to have moved on me. It's now on /dev/lp0 (was lp1). After configuring my printcap with magicfilgerconfig, I get this when I print a file: Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'esc880' Queue: no printable jobs in queue Status: job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' removed at 21:41:46.427 Filter_status: lp is ready and printing Anyone know what this message means besides the obvious? I am also unable to send a filer directly to the printer with cat. I would do a backflip if I could just get garbage to issue from my printer, but it doesn't seem to want to cooperate. Any ideas? I've seen several posts on printer issues over the last week or two. However, they, nor what I could glean from the archives seemed to improve my predicament.

Re: Trouble setting up ALSA for a AC97
Henrik Grotjahn [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: HG today I was trying to set up ALSA on my Debian testing. Since I have HG this shitty Onboard Soundchip AC97 I need to use at least ALSA 0.5, HG because the chip is not supported by earlier versions. ... HG Am I missing any packages or kernelmodules? I've got alsa-base 0.5, HG alsa-utils 0.5 and alsaconf 0.4.3 installed. You're definitely missing an alsa-modules-(kernel-version) package; you'd generate one using your kernel sources, kernel-package, and the alsa-source package. It looks like alsa-source prompts you for which modules to build via debconf; I'm building all of the modules here, since extra build time is cheap and it saves me trouble if I ever change my hardware. I've punted completely on alsaconf (and judging by the version number, it might not work with more current ALSA anyways). My /etc/modutils/alsa file does contain the line alias snd-card-0 snd-card-via686a which seems essential to making the whole thing work. HG I made even another mistake: For some reason (don't ask me why), I HG deleted the alsa-ip-up-script from /etc/init.d/. It seems to be in HG alsa-base. Can anyone tell me how to extract a single file from a HG *.deb? I'd just do 'apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base'. It doesn't look like there's an easy way to pull a single file out of a package (dpkg-deb is the tool you'd wind up using), but either 'dpkg -x' or 'dpkg --fsys-tarfile' look like they could be useful.

Conference support software?

I don't expect anything fancy, just support for forms (cgi-bin, Perl, Python, ?), an interface to a database (might be event text-based?), on-line subscription to a mailing list (something like smartlist + web interface).

Kde Sid directory problem

I found out (by opening the case, since I had no documentation on the machine) that there is a i810 chipset inside. I found the debian-page on this matter (XFree86 with i810 chipset) but had no succes so far on inserting the module which I succesfully compiled from i810-agpgart-module.tar.gz into my kernel which is kernel-image-2.2.18pre21 (and I also compiled succesfully myself). It reports unresolved symbols.

Can you help me out by getting my xserver running ? thanks, Kris Hi Kris, I think I can help. Should I upgrade my xserver to woody or sid... You should upgrade the entire distribution to Woody.

It means that the xfree86 developers are coordinating with the kernel developers.

Re: automounting home directories with nfs
Hi All, I'm trying to set up a small network and I'll be using NIS and NFS for home directories. I was wondering if it's possible to only mount a user's home directory when he tries to log in. This way I'll only have one home directory mounted on the box at a time and I can avoid putting an unnecessary load on the server. I recall seeing a solution for this somewhere. Went along the lines of nfs-mounting a /home/$USER directory for each user who logged on, but not mounting the whole of /home. Can't remember exactly where it was, but I think it was a Linux Gazette article. Try searching google for nfs auto mount tutorial and try the resulting LG pages. There were two articles, AFAIR, both by the same person. Either that, or the man pages or howtos . . . :-) They're the only places I would've seen the article . . For what it's worth, I'd just stick with automounting /home when a user logs on - it's not really costing you that much (any at all?) in terms of cpu or memory to have all of /home mounted. Then again, I could be wrong ... :) HTH, jc

Network Printing with Progeny/Debian

First of all, you have to decide if you want to have all your windows clients use the same account on the Samba server, or if they'll each have an individual account. (In my setup, they all used the same lan account, which was much easier, and not really any less secure since only computers on the LAN could access it.) I'll show you how to have all the windows clients access the samba shares with the same account/password. 3 steps. 1- create a dummy account on the Samba server, with access to whatever you're sharing. (e.g., if you're trying to share a folder, make sure your user has the required read/write permissions on it! Ditto for printers.) 2- Run smbpasswd USERNAME. so if your dummy username is lan, than you would run smbpasswd lan, and enter the desired password. 3- edit '/etc/samba/smb.conf'. (or wherever smb.conf is located). set (in global variables): security = share encrypt passwords = yes and when you define your share, set user = DUMMYACCOUNT For example: [my_share] path = /mysharedfiles create mode = 0700 force create mode = 0700 user = lan read only = no The above would share the folder '/mysharedfiles' to ANYONE who could supply the password for user lan. All files created/modified would have perms of 700. This is _obviously_ not the most secure technique, but for most people who are just sharing a printer over their local network, it works just fine. (If you were going for user-level security, you would have to create an individual account for each username of the client computers.) Hope this helps, Sebastian
Installing Potato with Promise RAID controller
Hi, I'm trying to install Potato (2.2r2) on a box with two harddisks connected to a Promise PDC20265 controller in RAID 0 mode (the two harddisks appear like one, big harddisk). With the UDMA66 kernel, the system boots up fine, and it recognizes a disk connected to the controller as /dev/hde, but the kernel thinks that /dev/hde has only the size of _one_ disk, not the sizes of _both_ disks together. One effect of this is that the partition table is considered corrupt: The primary NTFS partition is considered to extend over the end of the drive and the logical NTFS and FAT partitions inside a extended partition (where the linux partitions should go, too) are not found. Has anybody a idea how to fix this, so that the correct size is recognized ? TIA, Jonas

I take it there are no deb packages then, right? No deb packages. I just installed the rpm with rpm -Uvh xx.rpm. I seem to remember I couldn't get it to work with alien. Direct installs with rpm are not a problem when the package is fairly trivial. If you look inside the pacakge using Midnight Commander, or GMC if you use Gnome, you can soon see if installing the package is going to cause any problems. Often you need --nodeps as a parameter to rpm because you will not have any rpm dependencies installed on your system, of course. Do you actually need to use lprng? I know when I tried it I couldn't get printing working reliably. I decided to stick with plain old lpr in the end. Here is my /etc/printcap file: laser|lp|Printer1 auto:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :if=/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/laser:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/laser/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/laser/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: colour|pips|epson|lp1:\ :lp=/dev/usblp0:\ :sh:\ :if=/usr/local/EPKowa/sc680_777/filter-sc680_777:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/sc680_777:\ :mx#0:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd/sc680_777: Note I connect my Stylus 680 via USB; The first entry is for my laser printer which I connect to the parallel port. A nice arrangement because I can easily print to either printer without using a switch or installing another parallel port. The other day I printed a photo onto Epson glossy paper and the result was absolutely superb. Never have I seen such good quality from a colour printer on any platform! The Epson driver comes with a GUI utility which allows you to choose the print quality, paper type etc.. The other think to check, of course, is permissions on your spool directory - you must be able to write to it as a regular user. Also you may need to add yourself to the lpr group. Good luck on getting it all working. -- Phillip Deackes Using Progeny Debian Linux

Help with CDROM (ide-scsi)
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here. I just installed an HP 9150i burner, and following the HOWTO plus some information I picked up off this list (thanks to Osamu Aoki Casey Webster, plus several others), got it to work just fine. I have the burner as /hdc and another cdrom as /hdd. Both now show as scsi devices (cdrecord -scanbus), but I cannot get anything to play on the /hdd drive. I'm using xcdroast, and set it up originally to write to /hdc and read from /hdd. It does both admirably. I have since set it to read and write from /hdc only. When I start Gnome CDplayer, it starts scanning and then goes nowhere. Attempts to play make it shut down. I cannot mount either /dev/hdd or /dev/scd1 (which I assume should be the scsi equivalent, since the scsi device number is 0,1,0). What am I doing wrong, please (or not doing)?
