[HS] perte de la table des partitions d'un disque dure
Ceci n'est pas un pbm spécifique debian mais je me permet d'envoyer un message sur cette liste car je n'ai trouvé aucune solution ailleurs et j'ai pu constater depuis trois mois que je suis abonné à la ML que de grande compétences sont rassemblées ici. Voilà le pbm : Il y a deux jours, suite à de nombreux pbms, j'ai voulu réinstallé win2k sur mon pc. Le dd sur lequel l'installation s'est effectué possèdait deux partition physique windows (en fat 32) et deux partitions linux (une physique et une étendue) pour ma debian. Sur la première partition windows, le système ancien et sur la deuxième, toutes mes données perso sauvegardées. Je formate la première partition puis je réinstalle le système (jusque là, pas de pbm). Lorsque je relance : pbm, win2k ne trouve pas la deuxième partition. J'essaye de chercher d'où vient le pbm et après avoir ouvert je ne sais plus quel outil trouvé dans le dossier panneau de configuration, je tombe sur un outil qui me donne l'état de mes partitions. Il se trouve que celle que je cherche est marqué inactive (ou quelque chose comme ça). Je fait un clic droit pour avoir de plus amples informations et j'obtiens un menu qui me dis (entre autres) : activer la partition. Donc je clic sur activer la partition, et là : plus rien : le système se bloque, je n'ai plus accès à aucun fichier. Je redémarre l'ordinateur et celui-ci ne veut rien savoir. J'ai réussi à redémarrer mon pc avec un ancien dd et j'ai essayé de voir ce qu'il y avait sur le dd planté. Il n'a rien trouvé comme ça. J'ai trouvé un utilitaire nommé getdataback qui après 4h de scanne à trouvé la plupart de mes fichier mais ce n'est qu'un shareware et la license de 500F pour pouvoir faire une copie des fichiers retrouvés me fait mal au coeur.

Re: Mensaje a Telefonos Moviles
Existe un paquete de debian que sirve para enviar mensajes SMS desde internet llamado: smssend, realmente lo que hace es conectarse a una página web que los envía pero sin usar un navegador, es decir desde la consola. Pero necesita que crees un archivo de configuración. Me he bajado enviasms y smsLinux pero no los he visto aun, se que son dos programitas en Tcl/tk y que el primero envía los SMS usando la página de navegalia. Por último tambien hay otro que se llama smsclient, pero la verdad es que no se nada de el (solo que existe), porque al buscar el nombre del paquete smssend: apt-cache search SMS --- (instrucción para buscar paquetes debian sobre un tema determinado ha aparecido su nombre.

Rip puede montar particciones formateades con reiserfs, tiene mc y se puede recuperar muchas cosas. No se puede per nontar como raiz una otra particción.. tiene que estae la misma de RIP. Una otra forma es el disco de recúpero de debian... simplemente al boot se esrive mas o menos ... root=/dev/hda1 (poe ejemplo) y esto arranca si el FS es bastante íntegro. esta prueba la he repedida 5 vezes. Tus pruebas están muy bien. No todo el mundo se toma tantas molestias para probar su hardware pero es muy dificil contemplar todas las posibilidades de fallo. No todos los discos y controladores son iguales. 5 veces es una cantidad muy pequeña. El corte de luz es solo un ejemplo. Otro ejemplo podría ser avería en la controladora. Cuantas controladoras de disco has averiado para comprobar que ocurre con los datos cuando se averían ? lo se que no es mucho 5 veces, pero me he pasano toda la noche, y me he sovrado bastante... :-) Hay otras pruebas que no te recomiendo hacer. Por ejemplo poner la máquina a recuperar un backup y en medio del proceso darle un golpe muy fuerte al ordenador. Hacer esa prueba son ganas de romper el material pero cosas así tambien pueden pasra por accidente. bueno.. pero en esta forma ningún FS puede protegirte de romper del disco duro... y mucho meno ext2. ...bueno es todos, no es mucho pero para un uso casero es mucho mas de lo que ofreze ext2. El uso casero significa que si te quedas tres días sin máquina no pasa nada pero ese no es mi caso. Yo tendría que cerrar mi negocio durante esos días. ... para casero intendo que se puede instalar in casa sín problema, y también in tu oficina si hace falta de segurdad. con un backup diario, una unitá de ups, y una gestìon muy cuidada... que puede pasar? Lo que tu haces no me parece que esté equivocado. Las pruebas que has realizado ya te dan una seguridad bastante razonable. Usar una partición pequeña con ext2 para la partición raiz tampoco creo que esté mal. hay una otra forma que se usa en ambiente de ISP. /boot 5 MB ext2 / 200 MB ext2 /usr 500 MB reiserfs /var 1GB reiserfs /tmp 500 MB reiserfs /home 2GB reiserfs . en prática... todos en particciones reiserfs fuera que /boot y / ciao, MaX _ Do You Yahoo!?

Semi off-topic: Merchandasing Debian
Hola Mirando por aquí: http://www.copyleft.net/search.phtml?search=1lookup[description]=debian Hay algunas cositas que me gustan (necesito el logo de Debian típico de 1x1cm para poner el portátil que tengo uno de RedHat -años hace...- otro de Suse -años hace...- y claro, la gente me pregunta Red Hat o Suse?? no, mejor, debian... Y alguna camiseta... y paridas varias XD Hay algun lugar por aquí en España que lo vendan? Estaría bien que Antonio Castro vendiese en su tienda (vende? camisetas de Linux sí -hoy tenía puesta una suya- pero de Debian en concreto diría que no) Tambien puestos a pedir si nadie lo hace la FSF de España podría promoverlo (con donación a FSF España) quizás se sacarian algo de dinero.

Re: Fuentes de las X
Hola Agustín: Quizás no tengas instalado el xfs, mira a ver si en el arranque te pone algo como: Starting X fonst server: xfs A lo mejor te llega con instalar xfs mediante apt-get install y hacer un /etc/init.d/xfs restart Si con eso no basta, seguramente quieras instalar las TrueType fonts, en la espiral hay una receta que explica como hacerlo, no obstante como la tengo por aquí te la incluyo a continuación: Un saludo, Quique Esta receta es de Santiago Romero, que por falta de tiempo para ponerla me lo envió a mí. Fuentes TrueType en Debian con X 3.3.x en 30 segundos: Santiago Romero [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- La diferencia del netscape con estas fuentes es genial, así que me comentaron que mandara un post aqui para decirlo. Seré breve: 1.- Instalamos los paquetes xfs y xfstt mediante apt-get install (supongo que esto valdrá igual para las demas distribuciones, solo que instalandolos a mano). 2.- Reniciamos el xfs : /etc/init.d/xfs restart 3.- Copiamos fuentes truetype (.ttf) a /usr/share/fonts/truetype cp /dos/c/Windows/fonts/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype cq /dos/c/Windows/fonts/*.TTF /usr/share/fonts/truetype (también podemos hacer enlaces simbólicos a las fuentes de Windows, borrando el directorio fonts y haciendo enlace a windows/fonts) 4.- Reiniciamos xfstt para que encuentre las nuevas fuentes: /etc/init.d/xfstt restart Si no las encuentra le añadimos -force-reload . 5.- Añadimos estas 2 lineas al /etc/X11/XF86Config: FontPath unix/:7101 FontPath unix/:7100 (Las ponemos justo encima de los demás FontPath, para que acuda primero a estos 2). [ NOTA: si además queremos que otros equipos de la red puedan usarnos como servidor de fuentes, podemos editar los ficheros de configuración de esos equipos y añadir: FontPath inet/maquinaservidora:7101 FontPath inet/maquinaservidora:7100 Si la máquina no está disponible no perderemos el acceso a XWindow, sino que simplemente no tendremos acceso a las fuentes truetype, y sí al resto de FontPaths de nuestro cfg. ] 6.- Pasamos a otra consola y abrimos una nueva sesion de X: startx -- :1 7. - En esta sesion abrimos netscape y en Edit-preferences-Fonts cambiamos las fuentes a Arial TTF y Courier New TTF . 8.- Cargamos www.barrapunto.org y observamos la gran diferencia :) 9.- Si ha funcionado bien podemos salir de las X y reiniciar XWindow en la sesion original, y a disfrutar!!! 10.- Les cambiamos las fuentes a todas las demas aplicaciones que lo soporten (icewm, kde, staroffice, etc) en sus opciones. Existen una serie de aplicaciones que convierten las fuentes ttf a otros formatos para que las puedan usar las aplicaciones... para más información el TrueType Howto que se puede encontrar en la Red. Espero que os sirva de algo. La diferencia visual realmente ayuda a los ojos, puedo certificarlo :) NOTA: Tan solo añadir que para los poseedores de las XFree 4.X no es necesario recurrir al xfstt, ya que las propias X incorporan soporte para fuentes truetype a través del módulo freetype que hay que cargar en la seccion Module del XF86Config-4 con la línea: Load freetype # Freetype fonts (gracias a Vicente Gimeno por este apunte). Agustin Garcia wrote: Tengo instalada woody, con todas las xfonts pero el tipo de letra se ve como con poca calidad, tanto en gnome como en kde2 y peor que con mi anterior Potato. De ahí que supondo que son la xfonts. Tengo una ATI Rage Fury y por fin conseguí que funcionaran las XFree 4.0, aunque creo que no al 100 %. A alguien le ha pasado algo igual?

En el paquete doc-linux-text vienen los HOWTO. Entre los mini-HOWTO hay uno llamado TT-Debian: /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/mini/TT-Debian.txt.gz (no sé si está en castellano). Allí está bastante bien explicado lo que tienes que hacer para usar las ttf en Debian. Yo lo hice y no quedé muy conforme, el asunto de las fuentes en X-windows es bastante complicado. Puedes instalar todas las que quieras y *en teoría* las puedes usar. En la práctica te encuentras que, por ejemplo el xfig tiene un número de fuentes fijo predeterminado. En el Staroffice tienes que luchar un buen rato y puede que consigas que te aparezcan en el starcalc pero no en el starwriter, o viceversa. Y una cosa es que las veas en la pantalla y otra muy distinta es que las puedas imprimir. Editando un archivo postscript generado por el xfig (sólo cambiando el nombre de la fuente) llegué a conseguir que imprima en un printer EPSON Stylus color 600, pero no en una HP4000 (el epson no es postscript así que la conversión la hace el ghostscript, que anda bien con las ttf, mientras que la HP es postscript, así que el archivo le llega tal cual y el printer no entiende qué font es el que le mandan). Una aplicación que anda muy bien con estas TTFs es el GIMP. Claro: lo primero que hace con la fuente es convertirla a bitmap y listo!

Peguei os boot floppies e agora...
Olá Pessoal. Tá peguei os boot floppies para o woody. Mas estou com uma dúvida. No potato existe um arquivo base... com a um sistema básico de instalação. Bem, não notei a existência de tal arquivo para o woody. Já li o guia de instalação do woody e não encontrei a resposta. Depois de instalar os drivers como continuo? Quer dizer, sei que preciso baixar os pacotes do woody via rede, mas meu modem é PnP então eu precisaria do isapnp instalado para baixar os pacotes. No básico do potato vem o isapnp. Talvez alguns usuários digam: se está fazendo esta pergunta não mude para o woody. Mas quero aprender e acho que esta lista é o lugar correto. É claro se existir alguma documentação com relação a isso é só dizer que vou atrás. Muito obrigado pela atencção.

Se isto não foi suficientemente esclarecido, acho que é nossa culpa. 3) E deixar claro se atitudes como a do Sr. Márcio garcia são bem-vindas ou não, quando ele diz que não é problema dele se os e-mails em HTML são aceitos na lista ou não, uma vez que ele trabalha na AOL.

Hi,
I'm just wondering how people manage their email...
The main problem I have is that each mailbox/folder/whatever you want to call
it, grows without bounds. I wouldn't mind something to automatically shoved
mail
in a folder for each month or something like that, but I don't think that
IMAP/Pine etc support multilevel folders, or do they?
Anyway, I'm just interested in seeing how other people do it, and what is
considered best practise
Andrew
First the blue-sky dreams, then the reality:
DREAMS
I think the real solution is to put mail in a real database; I've read
some discussion that Sylpheed (maybe) and one other program (whose
name I've forgotten) can do this.
I've long thought that the folder metaphor for mail is inadequate; I
would prefer a more flexible scheme for classifying mail. It would
have two properties: first, each piece of mail could belong to several
classifications, so that, for example, mail concerning computers and
politics could be classified under both. Mail on a mailing list that
referred specifically to my questions or interests could be on the
list and under personal. And so on.
Second, I'd like to see hieararchical classifications, e.g., computers
includes debian includes debian-user. Then if I did a search for
topic x it would automatically include all subtopics. We can do
hierarchies with folders now, but we can't do the folder and all
subfolders logic.
REALITY
In the meantime, I use exim to filter my mail into boxes and read it
with mutt. When the individual boxes get so big that performance is
painful, I run the following python script to hack the big ones up and
put them in the archive subdirectory. I make no claim this is best
practice!
To use this, I switch to the directory with my mailboxes, and
(assuming the script is executable) do
./chopy.py box1 box2 boxN
This will ensure that each box is no more than sizeLeft (see below) bytes.
The excess stuff gets turned into things like box1.date.bz2, where
date is an indication of the date of the last message in the archive.
Unless your box is perfectly sorted, you shouldn't take the date too
literally. Then I move the bz2 files into an archive.

The rest of your latest message clarifies that you actually meant that you want to build all your kernels on one system and then distribute the resulting packages out to the other machines. To which I say, sure, but kernel-package still doesn't seem all that advantageous. All you have to do is copy two files (vmlinuz, System.map) across the network and replace the /vmlinuz symlink, so how much work do you really save by copying and installing a kernel package instead? The p90 and especially the 486 are practically useless while compiling a kernel. I buy that for the 486, but my P90 builds its own kernels. It's definitely a lot slower than the P3-700, but since the P90 exists, at this point, solely for DMZ proxy duties, I don't really care how long it takes.

gmix audio level problems
I'm having some strange behaviour with my mixer settings. I'm using gmix under gnome, and have it set to restore mixer settings on startup. This doesn't work - all sound levels are still set to zero. So I added gmix -i to my startup items, and now when I log in, I get an error message saying that either there is no mixer device or I don't have permission to access the mixer device, but I am a member of the audio group. After I've logged in though, I can open gmix and it sets all my levels properly. Looking at my logs, whenever I open gmix (either manually or upon startup, I get the errors Can't locate module sound-slot-1 and Can't locate module sound-service-1-0. As I understand it, these would refer to a second sound card, which I don't have. I suspect that why gmix has trouble setting my levels by itself is that it is looking for this non-existant card. Why would it be doing this? I've never tried to set up a second card. /etc/modules.conf has no reference to more sound devices. Any suggestions? I'm running kernel 2.4.9. My sound card is an es1371, which is compiled into the kernel (not a module). I'm using gmix version 1.2.3 (debian unstable). My sound all works fine, I just have to manually open gmix every time to get my levels set properly! TIA Craig -- Craig Holyoak [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.uq.net.au/craigh/

It would have two properties: first, each piece of mail could belong to several classifications, so that, for example, mail concerning computers and politics could be classified under both. Mail on a mailing list that referred specifically to my questions or interests could be on the list and under personal. And so on. Second, I'd like to see hieararchical classifications, e.g., computers includes debian includes debian-user. Then if I did a search for topic x it would automatically include all subtopics. We can do hierarchies with folders now, but we can't do the folder and all subfolders logic. ... I wonder whether anybody tried it already (in publicly accessible project).

XISP no longer works
I'm pulling from Sid (unstable), and a couple of months ago my XISP dialer stopped working. pon still works fine. I figured I had just been bitten by an unstable bug, and figured I'd ride it out till the fix. I finally check the Bug Tracking System, and I find only two bugs, neither of which seem to address my problem. XISP opens, reports Connection initiated, then a few seconds later reports that pppd got signal 11, and then just sits there. Neither the ppp-connect-errors nor the ppp.log seem to be catching anything, and I can't find any other logs that seem to be relevant. When the problem first arose, I poked around and found some changes in the /etc/ppp/peers directory, including some new files named xisp_ttyS0 - S3, which on closer inspection indicated that there had a been a change made in the way xisp works because of new noauth authentication standards or somesuch, but as near as I can tell, everything is set up the way it's supposed to be.

problem with ppp and 2.4.7
Hi, I just compiled 2.4.7 and everything seems to work just fine - like sound, nfs, usb, etc. But I can't get ppp to work. Everytime I use 'pon' to connect to the internet I get this: Sep 9 14:22:32 laptop pppd[535]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0 Sep 9 14:22:33 laptop chat[536]: Can't get terminal parameters: Input/output error Sep 9 14:22:33 laptop pppd[535]: Connect script failed Sep 9 14:22:34 laptop pppd[535]: Exit. When I boot 2.4.2 again, everything works without any problems !! I intsalled ppp 2.4.1 after I compiled the 2.4.7 kernel (I should have read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes more carfully) - but that shouldn't be the problem, right? Or do I have to compile the kernel again? I found some information about this on the internet, but I still don't know how to solve the problem. It says that maybe the IRQ is already used by another device. So here is cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 145848 XT-PIC timer 1: 1023 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 7: 7965 XT-PIC MS Sound System 10: 2 XT-PIC pcnet_cs 11: 7 XT-PIC Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC97, Toshiba America Info Systems ToPI C97 (#2), usb-uhci 12: 4005 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 14: 93572 XT-PIC ide0 15: 4 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 ERR: 0 and setserial for the modem (which is /dev/ttyS4) /dev/ttyS4, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 5 It doesn't seem like the IRQ is already used, right? Any ideas? thanks a lot! Philipp

There is no need to alter permissions to change this behaviour. Setting queue_list_requires_admin to false in /etc/exim.conf is sufficient. Or I suppose adding a user to group mail would also be a way of seeing queued mail. Brian

Is it a security risk to permit normal users to check the mailq, because if I try it as a non-root user, I get permission denied. Originally I was going to comment that mailq on my system (exim version 3.12) works as described in the manual and gives a list of my outgoing mails. But being a little intrigued I thought the bug reports for exim were worth a look. Basically, this aspect of exim's behaviour was altered in version 3.3 and the message you got is now normal behaviour. See bugs 109394, 107222 and 109619. Brian.
