Carte Audio Intégrée VIA AC97 et la Potatoe
Salut ! Je cherche, je cherche, et je ne m'en sors pas ... D'après le site d'ALSA, ce chip (intégré à la carte mère)est géré. Cependant, je ne le vois pas dans la version Alsa proposée avec la potatoe (via alsaconf). Est-il intégré dans une version ultérieure ? Faut il se méfier des versions Alsa par rapport à la version du noyau ? J'ai trouvé le site d'Alsa assez tristounet niveau infos (quels paquets installer, etc ...j'ai pas trouvé) Merci de vos lumières :) Mathias
Re: Carte Audio Intégrée VIA AC97 et la Potatoe
Salut Il me semble que dans potato il n'y ait que alsa version 0.5 Personnelement, je suis sous sid, et il y a plsrs package dispo : libasound0.4 - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (old libraries) libasound0.4-dev - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (old development) libasound1 - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (libraries) libasound1-dev - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (development) libasound2 - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (libraries) libasound2-dev - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (development) libasound1 est la version 0.5 libasound2 est la version 0.9 Je te conseille vivement la 0.9, je ne sais pas si ça résoudra ton pb, mais il y a de grandes chances. Si le package n'est pas dans potato, essayes avec les sources (attention, si tu as un noyau 2.4.15 de bien avoir la 0.9.0-beta10 ou superieur) Voila, Bonne année __ ifrance.com, l'email gratuit le plus complet de l'Internet ! vos emails depuis un navigateur, en POP3, sur Minitel, sur le WAP... http://www.ifrance.com/_reloc/email.emailif
Re[2]: Error: XOpenDisplay not found in -lX11
FB Il te manque probablement le paquet xlibs-dev pour les librairies de FB développement pour XFree 4. Pour XFree 3, je dirais xlib6g-dev (sans en FB être sûr). Merci beaucoup, j'ai installé le package xlib6g-dev et le configure est passé sans problème. Bon entre temps j'avais vu qu'il existait un pacakge debian pour ce programme mais je vais peut-être le désinstaller vu qu'on peut appliquer un patch sur les sources qui me rendrait pas mal service. Par contre, je ne comprends pas trop pourquoi ça a fonctionné. Etant donné que je suis en testing, ma version de X est donc la 4 ce qui ne correspondrait donc pas. Enfin je n'ai d'ailleurs pas tout compris à la description du package mais bon... -- Illusion
Re: Carte Audio Intégrée VIA AC97 et la Potatoe
Salut, Il semblerait qu'il existe 2 méthodes pour faire reconnaitre sa carte son : - alsa ( +vieux noyau) - module du noyau ( sans alsa ) La deuxième méthode me _parait_ meilleur, car les cartes AC97 sont reconnues par le noyau ( du moins, si l'on possède le 2.4.17) Esaie d'abord de configurer les modules, sinon instale le dernier noyau. Pour les modules : En root : - Tape modconf ; - Va dans kernel/drivers/sound ; - Sélectionne succesivement AC97 et AC97_codec avec «enter», un « + » devrait apparaitre à la place du « - » Bonne chance.

Salut, ou beaucoup plus simplement [...] modprobe [...] Merci, effectivement, c'est beaucoup plus rapide, une fois que l'on connait cette commande. Pour l'automatisation au boot, lire la FAQ. Une mine de savoir,... J'en profite pour faire une disgression sur le point 5.2, et l'installation d'un nouveau noyau. J'ai installé le noyau 2.4.17 précompilé grace à « apt-get install kernel-image-2-4.17-k7 ». AMHA, c'est une méthode qui demande très peu d'efforts. Mais, je n'ai pas trouvé de référence à cela dans la FAQ.

Re: Acceleration 3D voodoo3
le lun 31-12-2001 à 12:41, [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : Bonjour, Apres 1 an d absence, j ai retrouve mon ordinateur, ma potato, et ma voodoo3. J avais un kernel 2.2.12 et Xfree3.3, l acceleration 3D fonctionnait tres bien a condition d installer le modules 3dfx.o. Maitenant je suis sous woody/sid, j ai un kernel 2.4.16, et j utilise XFree4. La 2D marche tres bien. J aimerai savoir comment faire pour avoir la 3D. J ai installer le packet libglide3, activer le DRI et le TDFX dans le kernel, je n ai pas de message d erreur dans les logs de Xfree. Mais quand je lance Quake3, je suis a 2FPS. Est ce que qqun utilise la meme configuration que moi et n a pas de probleme ? Y a t il de meilleurs paquets a installer ? Salut, J'ai la même config que toi et en effet il y a d'autres paquets à installer. Je ne suis pas un expert dans ce domaine (corrigez moi donc), mais il me semble que pour la version 4, Xfree passe par Mesa qui passe par DRI qui utilise ta Voodoo. Cela demande plusieurs choses: -Le support DRI dans le kernel (apparamment c'est ok pour toi) -Une version de Mesa qui utilise le DRI -Les droits nécessaires pour avoir accès au fichier device correspondant à ta carte. Pour Mesa, assure toi d'avoir installé le package xlibmesa3. Je crois que glide ne te sera d'aucune utilité dans ce cas. Ensuite, il faut informer ton serveur X que tu vas utiliser le DRI. Dans la section Module de ton /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, assure toi d'avoir Load dri Load glx Et ajoute en fin de ton fichier (si ce n'est pas déjà present) Section DRI Mode0666 EndSection Enfin, dernier détail qui a son importance, avec la Voodoo 3 tu dois IMPERATIVEMENT être en 16bpp pour tirer parti de l'accélération graphique. Elle n'est pas implémentée pour les autres modes. Lorsque X démarre, il devrait créer un fichier device nommé /dev/dri/card0 avec les droits 666 (c'est à dire que tout le monde peut lire et écrire dedans). C'est ce device là qui est utilisé pour tirer parti de l'accélération 3D. Si tu l'as lorsque X tourne, tu devrais être bon. Quake 3 tourne à merveille! ;) Si tu le souhaite, je peux t'envoyer mon fichier de config X en privé (trop gros pour la liste). Sinon je crois qu'il existe un Howto à ce sujet, jette un coup d'oeil sur google. Amicalement, Alex. -- http://www.gnurou.org

VIM features
Hello, I would like to see more user feedback on Debian's settings of the VIM editor. Currently, two important features are disabled in the default configurations: Syntax highlighting and special intending schemes. The question is: why? Some (influent) people want to make VIM behave as the normal vi. But does this make sense? VIM is either installed as the default vi, nor does it have more priority in the alternatives entry. Additionaly, many packages suggest nvi, so it is often installed as the first vi editor and people often do not come in touch with vim. NOTE: this is not a start of a new holy war. I do not ask for giving vim's alternatives-entry a higher priority or so. I just want to use all VIM's features when I initially install it, without looking into my big config to enable intending or editing the vimrc file to enable highlighting.

This statement is incorrect.
Agreed.
The strength and staticness of typing are two independent properties.
Also agreed.
However, I think that the flexibility of a type system is more important
than its `strength' for removing the need for casts.
When do people use typecasts in C/C++? In my experience, they tend to
happen in the following situations:
1) conversions between data types (char and int, int and float, etc.)
2) downcasts in a class hierarchy, as in Java. (Note that `upcasts'
aren't really casts: if B is a subclass of A, then an instance of B
*is* an instance of A, no cast needed.)
3) Accessing external data in a callback function. Callbacks in C and
C++ often take a void* parameter that points to data supplied by
the programmer when he registers the callback; to access this data,
it is necessary to cast it back to the original type.
How do more flexible type systems handle these?
1) There are conversion functions. Scheme does this with, e.g.,
char-integer and integer-char, or exact-inexact and
inexact-exact. (The latter two convert between integers and
floating point numbers.) In many cases, this is what C's casts and
C++'s static_cast really do; they just use a typecast notation.
Many programmers tend to follow this trend when writing their own
conversions, although I usually don't---implicit conversions worry
me.
2) As several people have pointed out, too many downcasts indicate a
design flaw. They are, however, useful in some situations, so (I
believe) many advanced languages with a static type system support
these. However, as in Java, there's a run-time check that goes
with it. C++'s dynamic_cast gets this right.
3) There are a variety of strategies here. My personal favorite is
to use first-class closures to implement callbacks; the external
data is no longer supplied as a parameter but is simply available
to the callback function due to normal scoping rules. If you're
using a language without closures, like C++ or Java, you can hack
it up:
class Closure
{
public:
virtual void invoke(void) = 0;
};
Subclass this, implement invoke(), and supply a reference to the
subclass instance as your callback function. The data normally
recognized by the void* is now private data members in the callback
instance; no cast necessary.
Alternatively, supply the callback system with enough smarts to
handle types. Instead of
void register_callback(void (* cb)(void *), void *data);
write something like
templatetypename T
void register_callback(void (* cb)(T), T data);
although most advanced languages typically use a more concise
mechanism for this sort of polymorphism.
With the exception of downcasts, casting is generally only necessary if
your type system isn't very expressive.
I've heard that haskell has an even better type system, but I haven't
had time to learn it yet.
Most of my experience with advanced programming languages has been in
Scheme, which (despite what many people believe) *is* strongly-typed and
type-safe, but it checks all types at runtime rather than compile time.
As a result, I'm not really up on languages with compile-time type
verifications systems, though I've been meaning to investigate them for
a while now. At any rate: I've heard that ML's type system is easier to
learn than Haskell's; you may want to start there first.

tomcat and apache on woody
Hi yesterday i installed tomcat, apache, php and mysql from the testing sources onto my woody system. Apache seems to function fine and after some battling I got php and mysql to work however I still have a problem here with tomcat. It will serve its examples from: http://localhost:8081/examples but I cannot get apache to serve .jsp files although I have the module loading into apache etc. without any errors. If I try to view a .jsp file served by apache i am prompted to download it, which makes me think mime-types.. or is tomcat still not working properly (the workers file installed by apt was all at windows defaults, so it is possible there are still other things not configured). I'm thinking it must be more an issue with apache or the module as tomcat does serve its examples correctly. I've copied my httpd.conf file below. Rachel ## ## httpd.conf -- Apache HTTP server configuration file ## # # Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool. # # This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the # configuration directives that give the server its instructions. # See URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/ for detailed information about # the directives. # # Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding # what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure # consult the online docs. You have been warned. # # After this file is processed, the server will look for and process # /etc/apache/srm.conf and then /etc/apache/access.conf # unless you have overridden these with ResourceConfig and/or # AccessConfig directives here. # # The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections: # 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a # whole (the 'global environment'). # 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server, # which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host. # These directives also provide default values for the settings # of all virtual hosts. # 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to # different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the # same Apache server process. # # Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many # of the server's control files begin with / (or drive:/ for Win32), the # server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin # with /, the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so logs/foo.log # with ServerRoot set to /usr/local/apache will be interpreted by the # server as /usr/local/apache/logs/foo.log. # ### Section 1: Global Environment # # The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache, # such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it # can find its configuration files. # # # ServerType is either inetd, or standalone.

Re: Multiple workspaces with Sawfish and Gnome, session management and navigation
Hi. 2) Keybindings to take me to each workspace directly. I can't help you with session managment but the later is very easy to do: you have to configure sawfish Bindings part I think for a default setup, if you left double click you get the main menu of sawfish. There you will find under customize the Bindings. From there setting up what you want is a piece of cake. The only problem you could have there is to stop playing... Enjoy ;-) imre

Thx heaps. Basically, you're talking of two operations. Your first question refers to the burning proper, which is handled by the program cdrecord. I'm not sure but for something as small as TRB, burning TAO vs. Disk At Once is a matter of your CDRW supporting the feature. TAO should however be fine for burning pure filesystems (as opposed to burning raw CD audio or VCD data or the like). Your second question refers to the CD filesystem creation process, which is handled by the program mkisofs. Since TRB is a floppy image (something you can dump to a floppy disk) and the El Torito standard was devised as a workaround for putting such images onto CDROMs, the floppy boot is the recommended and perhaps only possible option. I don't even know if mkisofs will accept the other options. -- Sir Isaac Newton: If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
Sound newbie ... what is OSS, ALSA, etc all about?
I have a workstation with potato and adrian bunk's packages supporting the 2.4.14 kernel. I am running SMP with two processors on a P2B-DS motherboard. I have a SoundBaster AWE64 card (ISA) that I would like to get working. I started researching how to get sound working on my machine and I am confused about the following: * ALSA * OSS * PNP support (in the kernel or not) It seems that I have to complete several configuration steps and get several layers of software working to have sound function on my machine. Would someone mind explaining to me (as a Sound newbie) which of what appear to be competing sound system in Linux I should focus on. Is there a question of applications / tools / games supporting one or the other? Am I better off getting a PCI-based sound card and not having any ISA cards? Thanks! Randy

Re: NVidia GeForce MX problems - no screens found
I had the same problem, The setup doesn't set it up correctly. Attached is a copy of my config file. This doesn't set up hardware acceleration. For that you need to install and compile the nvidia packages, goto dselect and search for nvidia. It will install the packages and the text file in the packages tell how to configure them. My attached config file will work without the nvidia packages. By the way, also saw your post on the wlan list. I also have the same problem with a netgear ma401 card.

lp0 no longer works after I changed kernels; any ideas?
I got printing working, then must have broken it. Any diagnostic tips will be appreciated. The details follow: I started with a working debian stable system, built and installed a 2.4.17 kernel, and upgraded some packages to testing. I got printing working with CUPS and my Epson Stylus C60 printer by following the instructions at the linuxprinting.org web site. All was well at that point; I could print from gimp, emacs, and directly from the console to lp0. Then (!) I did some vmware reconfiguration and installed a 2.4.5 kernel, hoping to be able to also print under Win2k on top of linux. I didn't get win2k to print with vmware, but for some reason now I can't print anything at all from Linux either, no matter which kernel I boot with (2.4.5 or 2.4.17). The printer does work if I dual-boot right into win2k, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem. In Linux now, even if I do cat file.txt lp0, nothing happens on the printer. I have re-read the linuxprinting.org HOWTO and CUPS documentation and tried to make sure everything is still set up as before, did a google search and read some information I found there, but the problem seems not to be with CUPS (I think), because when I print something (say from gimp) and check with lpstat, I do see the print job listed for my epson queue, then the CPU utilization jumps for several seconds, then the lpstat output shows nothing. If I type cat somefile.txt lp0 I also get nothing. Is there something else I could check to better troubleshoot this? Any tips are very much appreciated; thanks! Luke Call

My solution (not sure where I got this from, probably dman or one of Will Trillich's newbie hints) is to use a ~/.netrc file. This was developed for use w/ftp, but fetchmail will use it. The format is: machine dns-name login name password password If the last line is default login anonymous password your email address Then the command line ftp client will usually be able to connect to arbitrary systems for anonymous ftp without prompting you for the password. I keep all of my pop account info in here, it's the only file on my system that has passwords in plain text. Permissions on the file are 400, I'm both the user and the group.

This statement is incorrect. Agreed. I suppose I will agree as well, I was not meaning to include dynamically typed languages in the original statement, I just didn't say that :} Really it was not a very good statement to make, although in the original context it wasn't so bad :} However, I think that the flexibility of a type system is more important than its `strength' for removing the need for casts. I will go along with that as well. In ML for instance (and other languages as well) there is parametric polymorphism which give you a lot of the flexibility of dynamic typing while still retaining much of the error checking of static typing. This is different from the polymorphism found in C++ in which you can have virtual functions (which still require the programmer to provide all the different implementations) and inheritance (which only permits polymorphism within a very limited set of types). Although I do not know Haskell my understanding is that this is how it works as well. For instance you could have: fun times x y = x * y; You could then apply this function to either reals, ints, or one of each and then it would return the appropriate type. The compiler will trace the execution through the function, deducing which are legal types from the operators and functions used within the function. In this way you do not need to write a separate function for each combination of types your functions might want to operate on, even though ML is a statically typed language. But because the checking is all done at compile-time you do not have much risk of runtime errors due to type problems.

RX mode?
Hi, Just wondering here cause i can't remember seeing this bootmessage before. Had to reinstall linux cause, being a newbie, i made a complete mess of it:) So i did a reinstall, which by default let me setup my first NIC, eth0 eth1 NIC went into the kernel but wasn't configured. So after having it all running again i added: iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 to the interfaces file in /etc/network/ It all seems to work ok, but during boot i get 'setting RX mode to 1 addresses' on the eth1 NIC. Is this normal, did i forget anything when setting up eth1? And if it's normal is it a security risk. Thanks Willem

How to limit network traffic?
Hello! I have a small problem. I want to download some (debian) cd's. With my isdn-connection, one cd takes ~ 1 day to download. That is no problem. The problem is, debian is so efficient in networking that the download uses 100% of the capability of my internet connection. I cannot establish another connection (e.g. browse a website, ...) as long a download is active. Here comes my question: Is it possible to throttle a connection? Can I set a maximum download speed? Is it possible to set the speed for a single application or only a general limit? Questions over questions ;-D Thanx in advance for the answers. Andreas Maresch

The result was that the installer did recognize the SCSI bus and every disk connected to it. But after that, the installer still went on resetting the bus (despite the fact that I had told the driver not to reset). That was to happen after the partition check of the SCSI disk 0. The installer did recognize the physical capacity and other harware capacities of the SCSI0 hard disk (such as the speed: 80.0Mb/s, and so on). But then there came the message: partition check: sda:sda1scsi:abort command due to timeout: pid 19, scsi0 [or something like that] and after that, there was the same old message: (scsi0:0:15:-1) unexpected busfree, LASTPHASE=0xa0, SEQADDR=0x167 scsi host 0 abort (pid 17) timed out - resetting And then there were endless repetitions of resetting, just as before. Now, I tried to boot the installer CD with no SCSI disk connected to the SCSI card. In that configuration (the SCSI card only, and the mainboard with IDE disks) the installer did proceed. Thus it means that I could probably install the SCSI card only, but without installing any SCSI devices. And as you see, this is a fatal problem if I am trying to install the operating system with some SCSI mass storages, especially if I try to install the system into a SCSI hard disk... As I am not quite familiar with Linux, I have tried to install many different Linux distributions into my SCSI partition. I have not managed to install Linux Mandrake either, but in the Mandrake case the problem was that the installer hanged during the phase when it was time to choose the data security level. The strange thing was that even in that case I did manage to install the operating system into the IDE partition, but only if there was no SCSI card connected into the PCI slot. In the Debian case, I manage to install the SCSI card itself (and it is to admit that that is some progress...:-), but I still do not manage to install the operating system if any kind of SCSI devide is present.

Re: Exim and frozen error mails
Thus spake Christopher Wolf: My exim tends to gather frozen messages caused when a fake email address tries to deliver to a no-longer existing email address on my domain. It generates an error response saying that user does not exist, but it cannot deliver the error to the fake user nor the intended address on my server, so it just freezes the message. Is there any way to get it to just throw these away, even if it's just after some amount of time? A message remains in the spool directory until it is com pletely delivered to its recipients or to an error address, or until it is deleted by an administrator or by the user who originally created it. In cases when delivery cannot proceed - for example, when a message can neither be delivered to its recipients nor returned to its sender, the message is marked 'frozen' on the spool, and no more deliveries are attempted. The administrator can thaw such messages when the problem has been corrected, and can also freeze individual messages by hand if necessary. exim -bp will list queue exim -Mrm message-id will clear frozen messages man exim for more - long but well worth the read.

As I mentioned above, the euro is just another character. Unfortunately, people need/want more than the 127 characters in the US-ASCII character set (aka charset). The euro, for example, is not part of US-ASCII. Since there are 127 additional values not taken by US-ASCII, some ISO committee(s) have created additional charsets to add some characters. These charsets are supersets of US-ASCII (that is, the first 127 characters are identical to US-ASCII) and the remaining 127 characters are characters useful to a given region (locale). ISO-8859-1 contains many umlaut characters that are common in Western European languages. If you set your locale to ISO8859-1 then you can store those umlauts in plain text files and share them with other people who are also using ISO8859-1. (think of a charset as a text/file format. jpg and png both store images, but in different formats) Likewise ISO8859-2 has characters that are found in Eastern European languages. The advantage to these encodings is that they are all single-byte (char == 8 bits == 1 byte). This means that existing programs can deal with them more-or-less reasonably, even if they don't understand the locale. The problem is that if you deal with multiple languages (eg, French and Romanian) on a regular basis, not only is it a PITA to keep adjusting settings, but you can't put charcters from both encodings into the same file. Thus Unicode was developed. It is a 16-bit (I think it is really 32-bit, but only the lower 16 bits have characters specified) character set that can represent the alphabet of most languages simultaneously. Unicode presents a problem though -- each unicode character requires at least 2 bytes in memory, but the C 'char' type is only guaranteed to be 1 byte. In addition, it is not wholly backwards compatible with US-ASCII. The problem is that applications must be developed with this in mind so that they can handle it properly. Various encodings of Unicode have been developed to store unicode characters in files. UTF-8 is the most well-known, and it is backwards compatible with US-ASCII (for the US-ASCII subset of Unicode). Thus if you use UTF-8 and stick to just the US-ASCII subset where the additional characters are not needed or not understood there is no problem. Now, how does all this relate to the euro? Well, the euro is not part of the US-ASCII charset. Nor is it part of ISO8859-1. However it is part of Unicode (character 0x20AC). To make use of the euro you must use the Unicode charset and choose one of its encodings (UTF-8) for storing files. Now read the Unicode HOWTO for some more
