Existe também o binary-all, e um monte de pacotes dos binary-* são symlinks para lá. Acho (não olhei) que os common genéricos ficam nessa árvore. E ela obviamente não deve servir para nada isolada. Desse modo, pode haver um blabla_versão_i386.deb e um blabla_versão_m68k.deb que se ligam ambos a um blablacommon_versão_all.deb, chamando-o simplesmente de blablacommon_versão, que por sua vez se liga aos dois primeiros, chamando-os apenas de blabla_versão. Assim, quando o apt ou outro gerenciador encontra o arquivo linkado, acha que é daquela arquitetura, quando na verdade não tem nenhuma. agora sim... aqui vc falou algo certo.. *mas*... vc pode querer instalar o common sozinho por uma serie de coisas, mas digamos que isso naum seja necessario a vc, o certo eh criar no caso 3 pacotes Para isso existe a opção de forçar a instalação.

Em termos de espaço em disco, principalmente para quem mantêm as distribuições, é muito mais prático ter um arquivo comum do qual dependam as versões específicas, que por sua vez também dependem da comum, do que ter um monte de binários específicos com zilhões de dados repetidos, e os symlinks cuidam do resto. Isso para não falar dos casos em que vc têm dois binários, como um daemon e um cliente, ambos com montes de arquivos em comum. Também não faria sentido tê-los copiados em ambos. Nesse caso vc tem arq1.deb e arq2.deb dependendo de arq-common.deb, e arq-common.deb dependendo de arq1.deb e/ou arq2.deb, ou de um arq genérico que ambos fornecem, em um cenário ligeiramente diferente.

Nesse tipo de sociedade, pois, não existem empresas do governo, nem mesmo a seguridade social, que fica por conta de cada qual através de contratos estabelecidos livremente com provedores de serviços de saúde e/ou aposentadoria. Também não existem impostos: fornece dinheiro para o governo quem quiser, na quantidade que quiser, o que normalmente significa uma parcela das pessoas que nele votaram. E mais: instituições assistencias, se existem, são sempre de iniciativa privada. No socialismo puro, o governo é tudo, e não existe qualquer tipo de espaço livre por onde alguém possa fazer algo por conta própria. Todos são funcionários estatais, agem dentro do estado, dependem e são dirigidos pelo estado, que é soberano, onipresente, onipotente e, pela instituição da delação pública, onisciente. Absolutamente todas as empresas pertencem ao governo, e os impostos, além de atingir a todos, são geralmente absurdamente altos, pois é o preço que se paga pela megaburocracia e pela escravidão voluntária. Entre os dois extremos há uma infinidade de tamanhos de governo e graus de liberdade. Se chamarmos ao estado mínimo ultra-capitalista democrático e sem impostos de extrema direita, e ao estado absoluto ditatorial, autoritário e totalitário sem propriedade privada de extrema esquerda, o que poderemos chamar de centro?

Trident 9680 e XFree 4.0
Caros todos, Instalei hoje o XFree 4.0 e estou com algumas dificuldades. Para começar, achei estranho o script em debconf do xserver-xfree86, apesar de todas as perguntas, não ter gerado o /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Acabei criando-o via xf86config, o que não foi difícil, e apontando o link /etc/X11/X para o novo servidor. Seja como for, minha placa de vídeo é uma daquelas genéricas com chipset Trident 9680 e 1MB RAM, e o monitor é um SyncMaster 3 com suporte a DPMS. Essa combinação estava funcionando bem com o antigo XF86_SVGA (ainda está, se eu apontar o link para ele), mas parece que o 4.0 está totalmente confuso. Quando entro no modo gráfico, o cursor do mouse aparece perfeito, com o tamanho que costuma ter em 1024x768 (uso 8bpp), mas as janelas não. O texto e as janelas aparecem gigantescos, como se a resolução estivesse em 320x240, e quebradas, i.e., com pedaços trocados ou duplicados (creiam, é difícil explicar). O mais estranho, porém, é que o X-Windows pensa que as janelas estão no lugar, pq se eu clico onde o botão *deveria* estar, os pedaços dele na tela aparecem clicados, e a função é executada. Mudando a profundidade para 16bpp (o que me faz cair para 800x600) no XF86Config-4, o resultado é o mesmo: o tamanho do cursor aumenta, tudo parece estar em 320x240 etc. Se mudá-la para 24bpp (640x480), porém, o servidor não entra, e retorna uma mensagem de erro informando que não há nenhum Screen disponível. Desnecessário dizer que ambos os modos rodam sem problemas no servidor antigo. Experimentei alterar os parâmetro do driver no XF86Config-4 seguindo as orientações do man trident, mas sem sucesso, e comparar as seções deste novo arquivo de configuração com suas contrapartes parecidas no arquivo antigo, para ver se havia alguma diferença substâncial (não havia). Resultado: por enquanto continuo com o servidor 3.3.6. Mas eu bem que gostaria de alguma sugestão para poder usar o 4.0.2. :-) []'s Alexander Gieg Alexander Gieg Nada estimo mais, entre todas as coisas [EMAIL PROTECTED] que não estão em meu poder, do que contrair Nick: AlexG uma aliança de amizade com homens que amem ICQ: 2200285 sinceramente a verdade.

Nao, nao! Para um HD, 32 bits significa transferir conjuntos de 32 bits de dados de uma vez ao inves de 16, o que gera algum ganho de performance. Nenhuma relacao com os diversos modos de funcionamento dos microprocessadores. Obviamente, o firmware do HD precisa suportar esse recurso. A menos que eu esteja muito enganado, o SO pode, isso sim, configurar um acesso em modo protegido 'a controladora IDE, mas ai' ja' e outra historia. No Windows para Workgroups ambos os recursos eram identificados, respectivamente, como acesso a disco em 32 bits e acesso a arquivos em 32 bits, e era possivel habilitar uma, ambas ou nenhuma dessas opcoes.

Devo alterar algum arquivo, como talvez o /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0? Se sim, o que devo mudar? 2) Quando eu estava usando o X com o XKeyboard habilitado, antes de desabilita-lo e instalar a nova libX11, a seguinte mensagem de erro sempre aparecia no console a partir do qual eu dava um startx, apos a sequencia de mensagens comuns do inicio do X: System: `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -w 1 -R/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -xkm -m us -em1 The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: -emp -eml Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server keymap/xfree86 compiled/xfree86.xkm' Alguem sabe o que isso significa? Como nao estou usando mais o XKeyboard ela nao aparece, e antes parecia nao me afetar, mas nao deixa de ser estranho...

Qual a solucao para isso? 3) Por fim, creio que estou pronto para comecar a ler e responder meus e-mails a partir do Linux.

Devo alterar algum arquivo, como talvez o /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0? Se sim, o que devo mudar? O /etc/profile é sempre lido, independente de si você se logar no console ou desde o xdm (shell de login). No entanto se, uma vez você logado rodar otra shell (shell de não-login), dentro de um xterm, p.e., o /etc/profile não é lido novamente. As varíaveis de ambiente são passados à nova shell mas não as configurações do ls --color, etc. se estiver usando o bash, você deve pôr essas configurações no arquivo ~/.bashrc. Cada shell tem seu proprio conjunto de arquivos de configuração para as shell de login e as de não-login Infelizmente, isso nao e' bem verdade. Veja, eu fiz a experiencia! Tenho diversas variaveis exportadas no /etc/profile, que sao lidas perfeitamente quando dou login em modo texto, e que obviamente continuam a existir quando ativo outro bash, ainda em modo texto. Fora isso, no ~/.bashrc, tenho a definicao de alguns aliases que uso frequentemente, em especial, alias dir='dir $LS_OPTIONS', sendo que a variavel de ambiente LS_OPTIONS e' definida no /etc/profile. Pois muito bem, quando entro no X via startx, todas as variaveis definidas no /etc/profile continuam la' quando abro um xterm novo, bem como os aliases definidos no ~/.bashrc. Tudo funciona perfeitamente! Escrevo dir, e eis que aparecem os arquivos devidamente colorizados, os aplicativos gnome aparecem em portugues etc. Ai, entao, saio do X, reinicio o xdm com /etc/init.d/xdm start, pressiono ALT-F7, dou um login normal, entro no xterm e... nada! Todas as variaveis de ambiente definidas no /etc/profile simplesmente nao estao presentes! O gnome esta' em ingles (afinal, nao ha' nenhuma definica LC_ALL presente) e etc. Porem, os aliases definidos no ~/.bashrc estao la'... Logo, chego 'a unica conclusao obvia: que o xdm nao esta' carregando o /etc/profile. Detalhe: tambem experimentei fazer o login direto no xdm apos um boot. A situacao e' a mesma. Alguma sugestao? (...) Esqueci falar, Você tambem tem o arquivo /etc/environment, no qual você pode pôr as varíaveis do ambiente que quer que estejam presentes em todos os programas, LC_LANG, . Esse arquivo e' um shell script, como o /etc/profile? Pergunto, pois costumo rodar o comando eval `dircolors -b` nesse arquivo, bem como outros semelhantes, para que todos os usuarios tenham as mesmas cores padrao. O que funciona perfeitamente nos logins em modo texto, mas no xdm... Se alguem tiver alguma sugestao, por favor me avise! Obrigado!

Re: Importação de programas
Receita Federal na hora de verificar a documentacao do produto. Esse e' o *unico* meio de pagar impostos apenas sobre o valor dos disquetes e/ou CD. Agora, vejamos a importacao pelos correios (ou transportadoras), a unica que sobra para pessoas normais: Em geral, ha' uma falsa informacao que corre por ai', de que produtos com valor abaixo de US$50,00 (ou R$50,00 em outras versoes) nao precisam pagar impostos. Outros dizem que softwares nao precisam. E assim por diante. Bobagem. Apenas dois tipos de produtos nao precisam pagar imposto: livros e revistas, pois ha' uma lei que determina assim. Qualquer outro produto, nao interessa qual seja, software ou nao, *deve* pagar 60% de II *e* 18% de ICMS sobre o valor total da nota fiscal internacional. Se vc importar o produto por meio de uma transportadora que nao seja o correio, e' exatamente isso que vc ira' pagar. O calculo do valor exato e' simples: Total de Impostos = Preco * (II + ICMS + II*ICMS). Ou seja, cerca de 89% de acrescimo. Entao, vc me pergunta, porque vc ja' fez importacoes e nunca pagou nada? E porque vc nao pagou o ICMS dessa vez, apenas o II? Simples: os correios nao tem pessoal suficiente. De todas as encomendas feitas, apenas um percentual (creio que de 10% a 15%, como nos aeroportos, por falta de pessoal) e' barrado para verificacao. E, se e' verificado que e' um produto que nao seja livro ou software, e' retido e o comunicado do II enviado ao comprador. O motivo pelo qual nao se cobra o ICMS e' que, em conversas com a Secretaria responsavel (pelo menos aqui em SP), os Correios nao concordaram em, ainda por cima, checar a necessidade do pagamento do ICMS, pois nao ha' lei que o obrigue. Disseram, no entanto, que se a Secretaria quisesse enviar fiscais para cuidarem disso, que nao haveria problema. Como nao foram enviados, nao ha' quem cobre o ICMS. Ja' as outras transportadores fazem tudo direitinho, conforme manda a lei: II+ICMS. :-) Portanto, nao adianta reclamar. Vc caiu na malha fina, e o unico jeito de receber o produto e' pagando o imposto. Alias, sobre esse assunto eu estava conversando com um fiscal dos Correios, e ele me contou uma fato engracado que ocorreu com ele tempos atras: um cara ligou extremamente nervoso dizendo que nao sabia porque tinha que pagar o imposto, ja' que essa era a 14a. importacao que ele fazia pelo correio e nunca teve que pagar nada. Sabe o que o fiscal respondeu? Bem, ja' que e' assim, entao precisamos verificar quais foram as outras 13 importacoes que o senhor fez, para cobrar as taxas devidas que o senhor sonegou ao nao declara-las. O reclamante, entao, respondeu meio sem folego: Ah... e' mesmo...? ... ... Entao acho melho esquecer o assunto O fiscal respondeu: Por mim tudo bem. Ate' logo. ;-) Basicamente e' isso. Enquanto a legislacao nao avancar, a situacao vai ser essa mesma: 'as vezes vc paga, 'as vezes nao. Se bem que, legalmente, vc deveria declarar que fez uma importacao todas as vezes que a recebesse, e pagar o II e o ICMS por conta propria... ;-) O Brasil e' um otimo pais, nao? Justa ou injusta, essa e' a lei! :-) E fica a idéia pra quem queira ganhar dinheiro vendendo CDs Debian made in Brazil. Já me proponho como sócio. Definitivamente, corre-se menos riscos... :-) Mas que faço com esses CDs lá no Correio? Se vc nao pagar o II, uma hora vao jogar o produto fora. Mas cuidado: se vc quiser pega-lo, vc tem um prazo para isso, a partir do qual e' iniciada a cobranca pelo armazenamento dos produtos. Espero ter ajudado a esclarecer. Lembre-se: nao existe tal coisa de ate' um certo valor nao pagar impostos. Isso e' um erro que ate' as operadoras de cartao de credito cometem, informando incorretamente seus clientes. Ate'!

GPL-like office suite package?
Hello! Today many users like to use StarOffice and/or other graphical WYSIWYG office suites. Is there any project to make a GPL package with all the userlikeness of these packages, with the same resources (and less bugs ;-)) that MS-Office has? Things like hundreds of functions, not very strict rules to use it (things like the two-returns-not-allowed from Lyx), hyper-easy (really dumb) macro language with on-the-fly sintax check and graphical window design, and those cool OLE2 ways to merge a program into another?

Re: Motif v lesstif - was Re: Netscape Communicator 4.01b6 ...
What do you mean? Making Lesstif and Motif binary compatible? You must have OSF source for that :) I know that if someone want to sell Motif, he needs to buy the source from OSF and compile it. And if he wants to use the name Motif to sell their compilation, he needs to pay extra royalties. Well, when someone buy a compiled Motif (for about US$ 70,00), he receives a great amount of tools to develop applications with it, plus the libraries binaries. But there are *many* guys, like me, who won't use these tools. I, for example, would buy it only for the shared libraries, because with them many applications (like StarOffice) could work faster and with less memory. So, I think: US$ 70,00 is really *much* money for only one or two files. I don't want to program with Motif, nor use the Motif Window Manager for X (I use Afterstep) so, why not someone sells only the libraries? Or even best: why Linux users don't join to buy the source, compile these libraries, and distribute them for free? Maybe I'm crazy, but who knows? It's an idea... ;-) []'s Alexander Gieg =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= By: Alexander Gieg E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/3222/ IRC: AlexG =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= There will be a time in which *all* the computers in the Earth will be using Linux!

Re: Package configuration philosophy
It seems that someone is packaging LinuxConf. This software can also take care of the Linux's boot process, but the Debian developers seems don't know about it... :-( Linuxconf has some nice features but it has the serious drawback that it replaces the sysvinit. This would break every single program that needs to be started at boot time. Using Linuxconf would require changing nearly every important package so that they worked with linuxconf's non-standard boot script system. Co-ordinating a massive change like this would be a nightmare...and I do NOT believe that the end result would be worth it - the same or better results can be achieved with far less radical changes to current standards. Well, so, excuse me. Butt the GNU/Linux hackers doesn't like challenges? I think making *all* the softwares compatible with LinuxConf could be not a nightmare, but a very cool hacking development, couldn't it? By the way, Debian is not commercial, so we have very much time to make it work. If the work takes 3 years (!), what's the problem? In this list, I saw someone saying that the nature of Linux is change. So, why not change it? The guys at LinuxConf are hardly working to make their software compatible with RedHat, Slackware and *Debian*. If we, instead of getting in their way, go to help them? But I'm not a Debian developer (for now). So, if you don't want this, I'll not continue to speak about LinuxConf. But that it could be cool, it could! ;-) Alexander Gieg =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= By: Alexander Gieg E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/3222 IRC: AlexG =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= There will be a time in which *all* the computers in the Earth will be using Linux!

Re: CD-ROM -- how to mount, etc.
I have an IDE atapi cdrom drive which is found when linux starts up: hca: CD-ROM CDR_S16, ATAPI CDROM DRIVE. But, I can't mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom. Neither can I use CDPLAY. Could it possibly be since mcdx doesn't find the drive? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't know how to use CD-ROMs, because I don't have one, but message hca: CD-ROM CDR_S16, ATAPI CDROM DRIVE seems to say that the device is /dev/hca, and not /dev/cdrom. Try: mount -t isofs /dev/hca /cdrom I think isofs is the correct file system type. If not, see the mount manual page. Also, what is the linux equivelant to config.sys, I want to be able to remove some of the call to drivers when linux starts up, I only have about 20 devices, but linux attempts to load about 50. Well, Linux is a little more complicated to configure than a simple config.sys file like in MSDOS. *If* the drivers that you don't want are compilated as modules, then you can edit the file /etc/modules and comment them with #. But *if* they are hard compiled in kernel, you need to compile a new kernel by yourself. You'll need these packages: gcc cpp binutils bin86 tk40 tcl74 xlib libc5-dev ncurses3.0-dev kernel-source-2.0.27 tk40-dev tcl74-dev When *all* of them where installed, go to /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27 and do: make menuconfig and select what your kernel need, then, do: make dep make clean make zImage when all is finished, do this: cp /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27/arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.27 cp /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27/System.map /boot/System.map-2.0.27 rm /vmlinuz rm /System.map ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.27 /vmlinuz ln -s /boot/System.map-2.0.27 /System.map then do this: mv /boot/modules/2.0.27 /boot/modules/old-2.0.27 and then: make modules make modules-install when all is done, run: lilo and you can boot your system, with your new kernel. If the kernel is not what you want, do these commands again, to make a new kernel. Well, when the kernel is loaded, the files in the directory /etc/rc.boot are executed. You can edit these files, remove them or add new ones, wich do the job of configuring many thing in the system, like the serial ports. As with config.sys and autoexec.bat, do a backup of them, but in another directory. When these configuration ends, the files in the directories /etc/init.d are executed by the symlinks in the directories /etc/rc?.d, in which the ? in a number betwen 0 and 6, which represent the runlevel of the system. The login prompt and other things are in runlevel 2, so the commands from /etc/rc0.d to /etc/rc2.d are executed. The symlinks in these directories start with S or K, have a number, and the name of the file in /etc/init.d. The symlinks with K (from kill) are executed first, in numeric order, with the parameter stop, and then the symlinks with S (from start), in numeric order, with the parameter start. So, the symlinks in rc0.d, rc1.d, and rc2.d are executed, and them the prompt apears. When you shutdown, reboot or do a Ctrl-Alt-Del, the symlinks in /etc/rc6.d are executed. You can see many lines in your screen, with the first saying something like Switching to run-level 6 If you want to know what these symlinks with start and stop parameters do, look at the real files in /etc/init.d When you login, if you're using bash, the file /etc/profile is executed, then ~/.bash_profile, then ~/.bashrc. The file ~/.bash_profile is executed only in the main login, but the file ~/.bashrc is executed by every new bash that you run. It's simple, don't is? ;) Alexander Gieg =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= By: Alexander Gieg E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/3222 IRC: AlexG =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= There will be a time in which *all* the computers in the Earth will be using Linux!

Re: How do access hda, fd0, etc. ?
Several people have suggested mounting the dos partition with: mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt If any text files are involved, the different newline characters in dos and linux can cause problems. Adding the conversion option to the file system specification in the mount command can reduce that problem. Try: mount -t msdos -o defaults,conv=auto /dev/hda1 /mnt I think the 'conv=auto' options is now default for msdos and vfat file systems. If sometimes you *don't* want this, like for copying binary files without risk, you need to add 'conv=noauto' or something else.

Suggestion: *Professional* CD distributions
Hi, ALL. I'm reading the messages about CDs here, and would like to make a sugestion: wouldn't be good if one of the CD distributors would make a realy *very* stable distribution, with the last revision of the previous stable version? This seems to be good for companies, because the newly main distribution, like 1.2, isn't really so stable to make a company to use it. Anything like the final very *very* stable Debian Linux 1.1 (that I think is the 1.1.17, I don't know), in a *very* good CD media, with a good CD box, the installation floppy disks in the two formats (5.25'' and 3.5''), and some printed documentation, mainly about installation and dselect, with instructions about reading all the online documentation and some tips and tricks, like newsgroups, lists of discussion, and lists about paid Debian support services (is there something like this?), all of this in a professional box, like those of well known software companies? And, when the Debian Linux 1.3 will be stabled, the final Debian Linux 1.2.something version could be sold in this way. This is good for companies too, because I don't know any company wich like to do upgrades in important softwares every week ;) Four or less upgrades by year is a good thing for them. Some comment?

Re: How do access hda, fd0, etc. ?
In Debian linux, I have certian files that I down-loaded via. a terminal emulator in dos, and it is on my dos partition, which is hda. How do I access this drive and my flopply drive fd0 in linux? You need to mount these partitions. You can use some empty directory to use as mount point. If these directories doesn't exist, create them with mkdir. To mount your DOS partition, do: mount -t msdos /dev/hda /mnt To mount your floppy, do mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy and your disks will be mounted. To change the floppy, you *must* un-mount the floppy first with: umount /floppy change the disks, and mount it again. Don't forget to un-mount *all* your manually mounted systems before shutting down. Read the mount manual, with: man mount to known more about it and their options, like -t. Also how to I get back to the program that ran initially[first boot off the boot-floppy that was created], which asked what packages [ie. x-windows, comm programs etc] I wanted to install. I have since downloaded some of these packages and have searched everywere for that nice colorful installation program on linux. Do: dselect Don't forget to read dselect's documentation, or you can have problems.

Well, the easiest solution is to buy more RAM (4Mb). If it's impossible, you'll need, instead of the rescue disk, a set of two disk, the first to boot, and the second to mount as root. But for this you'll need two disk drives, because one of them will stay with the root disk, and the other you'll use to put the installation disks. My sugestion? Buy more RAM ;) Alexander Gieg =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= By: Alexander Gieg E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/3222 IRC: AlexG =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: gcc can't find headers
I've been trying to bridge over to C++ and tried to compile my first program using gcc, but #include iostream.h didn't work. The compiler couldn't find the standard headers. I've looked on my system and they reside in /usr/i386-unknown-cygwin32/lib/g++-include. I tried using the -I switch to no avail. I know next to nothing about the gcc compiler. Any help would be appreciated. By the way, it does compile C programs without a hitch. You need to install the packages libg++27_2.7.2.1-3.deb and libg++27-dev_2.7.2.1-2.deb. The headers that you have are for the cross-compiler win32 version of gcc.

Re: PnP modem under Debian
Hi, does anyone have any experience getting a US Robotics Sportster 28.8-33.6 PnP modem to work with linux? Or any PnP modem for that matter. I've done all the common setup stuff for the modem. I found that if I want to use the modem under NT, I have to disable PnP in my bios. But if I do this for linux it changes nothing. -Jay Hi! I'm using a Sportster 14.4 PnP, and it works fine. I don't use the PnP features, even in W95, and I've set its jumpers to SEL, COM4, IRQ 3. Try this. Don't forget that in Linux, COM4 is /dev/ttyS3 (or /dev/cua3, which isn't good).

What is the best window manager?
Hello, all! I like to know more about the window managers. There are many ones, and I think that a good thing would be a list of main resources, memory uses and so on about all of them. I'm now using FVWM2, but I don't know if it's the best for my needs. And learning all of the window managers to select one is (IMHO) a waste of time.

Re: Good buy or not?
... The price I came up with was 400 bucks cheaper than the 'sale' price at school, and had a better baseboard and hardware. I'm very happy putting my own systems together and have seen the nightmares that others call computer systems. I recommend taking the time, even if it takes you six months, to learn how to put your own together and doing it that way. I also never shop through mail, try starting at 'A' under computer dealers in the yellow pages and asking prices, you'd be surprised sometimes. ... It's true!

Re: back on list (I think)
Hi. I'll answer the questions that I know. 1. Texbin installation failed because Kpathsea could not convert some Metafont. There was a bug report on this but I could not find the resolution. This Texbin installation failure also caused the latex installation to failed. Add the line /usr/X11R6/lib to the file /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. 2. Netscape could not be installed. Do you downloaded the correct version of netscape from ftp://ftp?.netscape.com ? It's the version 3.01. After downloading, put the file in /tmp and try to install it again. 5. The initial installation did not create /dev/scd0, /dev/scd1 nor setup the symbolic link of the /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd0. Nor the /dev/sd[abc..]9 to /dev/sd[abc..]15. I have to create these manually. Known bugs. They'll be corrected in Debian 1.2.1 7. All the X related libraries could not be located when running and X applications because the /etc/ldconfig.conf (I think that was the name of the file) did not include /usr/X11R6/lib. I added the entry in and run ldconfig, then the problem went away. See answer 1. 9. BTW, is there a java1.0.2-???.deb out there? Yes. It's in three packages under the non-free directory. The files in non-free can't be in CD-ROM, so you'll need to download them from some mirror or the main Debian's ftp site: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/non-free/binary-i386/ the files are: jdk-common_version.deb, jdk-shared_version.deb and jdk-static_version.deb. You need the common file, and one of the other two. Don't forget to download the file Packages.gz too, if you want to see a more complete list of packages in dselect ;) Alexander Gieg =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= By: Alexander Gieg E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/3222 IRC: AlexG =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

PPP for non-root users?
Hi. Today I tried to put running pppd in Linux to dial to my ISP. I've read the documentation in /usr/doc/ppp, and the pon, poff, plog and pppd manpages, and setup the files in /etc/ppp and the files /etc/ppp.*, plus /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf. The result is: as root, all works well. The pon command dials, and in 10 seconds are all working. But when I try to use pon like a normal user, the system dials ok, I'm connected, but I can't access sites with their names, only with their IP addresses. I think the DNS IP addresses are not being set... I tried a chmod u+s /usr/bin/pon /usr/bin/poff, but this not seems to work. One more thing: I've my login name and my brother's login name configured in group dip in /etc/group. Did I mistake something? Well, thanks in advance.

Re: [1.2 installation]: how to tell X to follow swapping of control and caps lock from loadkeys
What's the best way to swap the Caps Lock and left Control keys under X windows? It's right in the man page for xmodmap: In X Windows 3.1.2 this will work fine, but in 3.2 you will need to disable the new XKBD extensions and use the old xmodmap method. The XKBD has only one problem: its very, very, *very* more complex than xmodmap. There isn't any HOWTO (yet, I hope), so I'm reading the full documentation ( 300 pages!).

Trident Video Card on X
Hi. I've an old Trident 8900D SVGA Video Card, which works well with X Windows, svgalib and SVGATextMode. Problem #1: --- The problem is that this card works only with 8 bpp in X. The file /usr/doc/X11/README.trident say that the model 8900D can work with 16 bpp, sometimes with the lines Option linear and DefaultColorDeep 16 (or something like those, I don't remember now) in the proper locations. When I try on of that, or both, there are error messages about my chipset don't supporting the 16 bpp mode. In Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 I can use 16 bpp. Problem 2: -- Other problem is that I can't use the 320x200 and 320x240 resolutions in X. These resolutions work well in Windows 3.1 and Windows 95, and the error messages I receive says that there isn't dotclocks for these resolutions.

Dosemu + FDOS problem

When the boot stops, I can enter the C drive, but none of the programs can be executed. The fdisk from FreeDOS distribution (I downloaded it) don't work well, giving 4 partitions *very* trouble.

Re: word processers??
are there any word processers (ie wordperfect,word..) available for debian? i am used to word for windows but getting tired of rebooting to dos to use it. thanx There is something called SciText available as freeware. I don't have the site handy, but a websearch turns it up. I personally couldnt get it to run, but it's a noble idea. A free wordprocessor is possibly the last thing keeping many people from dumping windows completely. Other than that, there are several commercial applications available. I think there are links from www.caldera.com and www.redhat.com In the contrib section of Debian, there is a good word processor for X Windows, called LyX. It's not a real word processor, but a graphic front-end to the text processor Tex. It's very good, and I think that it has all the functionallity that normal users need from a word processor.

Re: Suggestion
Here from Brazil, the connection speed to ftp.debian.org is below 0.4 kbps. And the worst is that the other mirrors I tried, like farofa.ime.usp.br (wich is about 10 km from here) are more slow (!). Is that different from linux.if.usp.br /debian ? The administrator there is [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I don't know. I'll see. So, I think that a good thing would be a bin-diff distribution. Unfortunately this is not as well-bounded a problem as a text diff. The reason is that when a program is re-linked, adding a single instruction or a byte of data may change a large number of address references in the program. You might use cmp -l between two versions of the same program to see how much of a problem this is. Yes. After reading your reply, I tried do to a bin-diff betwen the two versions of netscape (3.0 and 3.01) with the BinDiff utility (from Dr. Dobb's Journal, May/1995), and the resulting file was about 2 kb smaller than the originals!!!

Suggestion
Hi, all! I want to make a suggestion. Many persons like me have only a 14400 modem, without CDROM and/or sound-card. Here from Brazil, the connection speed to ftp.debian.org is below 0.4 kbps. And the worst is that the other mirrors I tried, like farofa.ime.usp.br (wich is about 10 km from here) are more slow (!). When I have to do a download of a 2.0 Mb updated debian package, my connection bill increases tremendously! :-) So, I think that a good thing would be a bin-diff distribution. When a package is updated from, say, 2.0.3-2 to 2.0.3-5, a bin-diff distribution can decrease very much that bill. Instead of downloading a 2.0 Mb new package, I probably want to make a 100 kb download. The time to execute the undiff is very less than that of download. I saw that there is a diff distribution for sources. Another to the binaries isn't much dificult, specially in rex, is it? That's all. Some suggestion?

Re: Can not boot kernel-2.0.27 with apt2840.
...cuting... Also through I like the package approach. I wonder why the linux standard includes all the package files in system file locations?? Looking at the dpkg-deb command I don't thing it would be too difficult to drop them into package subdirectories. And from the lists of install packages create an expaned PATH by/for /etc/profile. I believe this could all be done with out changing the packages in anyway. The advantage is more modular packages which are easier to clean up if the install scripts fail. Also packages could be exported more easily without requiring exporting all of /usr which in my oppinion is NOT a good idea. But this would be a retrogression in the Linux directories tree, as specified in the documentation at http://www.pathname.com/fhs. Check it and you will see.

Accents like DOS and Windows?
Hello. I've read *all* the documents in /usr/doc/HOWTO and /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini about configuring the keyboard for non-us languages, and learned how to use the dead-keys in text mode. Now I'm really close by stop using Windows 95, but I'm with troubles. In DOS and Windows, persons who don't have the ccedilla Ç key and use this character, like me, can use the apostophre key followed by the C key. But the dead_acute option in the '.map' files don't do it. The result is 'c. The solve I encountered was using the AltGR key in conjunction with the C key, but this is very inconvenient. I don't found the solution in any of the HOWTOS or man pages I saw. There is some manner of using the dead_acute option to make the C key generates the ccedilla character? Another question: I don't found how to make the X-Windows use accents correctly. The documents I found are all about the old method 'xmodmap', who doesn't have dead-keys. None of them talk about the new 'xkdb' extensions, who have dead-keys. There is some new HOWTO about using the xkbd? Where can I find it? Thanks in advance.

Re: Dot-matrix printers
I have ghostscript (with all recommended/suggested packages), apsfilter, lpr and all the things necessary to print, but nothing goes to the printer! I don't know if I forget something, or didn't configured correctly. In W95 all works fine, but in Linux doesn't. Can anyone tell me the practical way of doing the things work, like do this, this, this and this; end.? Is a postscript file you are trying to print or a simple ascii file? Both. Are you using the lpr command? You should have a look at /etc/printcap and change it to match your printer. *That's* the problem! Even the simplest thing becomes difficult! I don't understand how to use lpd, lpr, lpc, lprm, printcap, etc, etc, etc. Very much details... But, the worst thing in Linux, its complexity, is too its best aspect. That's make the job funny ;-) I really think that could be a happy-administrators-guide.ps, with things like: Well, you have Linux in your computer. You want to make Linux usable. Then, do these simple steps... So, again, how can I make my printer work? It's connected. It's online. It's working in Windows. It's working in DOS. I've the packages installed. So? :-) Alexander Gieg =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= By: Alexander Gieg E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/3222 IRC: AlexG =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Re: Dot-matrix printers
About the message that I posted two days ago: Nothing of the suggestions that I've received worked. So, I uninstalled the 'apsfilter' filter, purged its files, and manually removed all references to it. So, I've installed the package again, and it works! I don't know why. If someone know, could say? Well, now my printer is working, and I'm happy :-) Thanks to all.

Re: Dot-matrix printers
I've an old dot-matrix printer, a Citizen 200GX, and I'm at a *great* distance from purchasing any postscript printer. There is some way of print .ps files in this printer? It's epsons and/or ibm-proprinter compatible. Ghostscript can do this. It will take a postscript file as input and output many formats (including epson 8 and 24 pin). I use this to print to a color epson inkjet printer and it works well. Since it does everything in graphics mode, it will print slower than you might be used to. I have ghostscript (with all recommended/suggested packages), apsfilter, lpr and all the things necessary to print, but nothing goes to the printer! I don't know if I forget something, or didn't configured correctly. In W95 all works fine, but in Linux doesn't.

PCB, Abuse, Xaw* etc.
Hello, ALL! 1) When I attempt to use PCB it doesn't work, saying that there is no libXaw.so.6. They look in /usr/lib and /lib, so I tried to put a symlink in one of these directories to the real libXaw file, and runned ldconfig, but didn't work. 2) I'm trying to use the game Abuse (contrib) without X, but it seems to don't recognize the mouse. Other softwares works with mouse without problem. It's a bug in Abuse? 3) I've installed the Xaw3d and Xaw95 packages, and now I'm with three 'libXaw.so.?' files, but the softwares don't seem to work with 3d decorations. I need to delete, move, copy, symlink or another thing any of these libraries? There is the need for recompiling some programs? I've read the documentation but, with sicerity, I don't understood anything. :-( 4) Where is the fdos package that dosemu needs? I didn't find it. 5) There are some packages required or suggested by another with aren't classified in any Package file of either rex, contrib or non-free, like xcompat and xcontrib. There is some problem if I'll do a manual installation? 6) Wath I do when a package needs another package that don't exists, like xbmbrowser, who needs pbmplus? I know that netpbm have pbmplus, but dselect don't, and give me some error messages. Some solution for one or more of these problems? Thanks.

Re: Problem with Kernal Source 2.0.27_1.00
I am in the process of setting up my machine to run debian, everything has been running reasonably well until now. I downloaded the kernal-source-2.0.27_1.00.deb and attempted to compile a custom kernal. I get most of the way through the make zImage phase and the process stops with the following error message Hi. I don't know about this, but i'm with problems in making the kernel I compiled to work. All the compilation and linking is ok. I've used the sequence: make menuconfig make dep make zImage make modules make modules_install that I think is correct. When it's done, I copy the 'vmlinux' file to '/', update '/etc/lilo.conf', and execute '/sbin/lilo'. All is ok, but when the system reboots, lilo begins an infinite loop: Lilo loading Linux Lilo loading Linux ... So, I press SHIFT, and make the system load the old kernel. What's wrong? It's some option that is necessary in kernel? I've tried other things to, like a 'make clear', or mark and unmark some options in menuconfig, but nothing works. Other thing: I don't have a PCI bus in my machine, so I've unmarked the PCI options in menuconfig, but in this case, there is some unreferenced links to some ...pci... functions, and the kernel isn't linked. So, I've remarked the PCI options. The PCI functions are necessary for other options? If yes, which are? They can be unmarked securely? Thanks.

Re: Problem with Kernal Source 2.0.27_1.00
Hi. I don't know about this, but i'm with problems in making the kernel I compiled to work. All the compilation and linking is ok. I've used the sequence: make menuconfig make dep make zImage make modules make modules_install You should add a make clean just before make zImage (you don't need it if it is the first time you are compiling a kernel). that I think is correct. When it's done, I copy the 'vmlinux' file to '/', update '/etc/lilo.conf', and execute '/sbin/lilo'. All is ok, but when the system reboots, lilo begins an infinite loop: Proceed like this: cp /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27/arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot/linux-2.0.27 cp /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27/System.map /boot/System.map-2.0.27 ln -s /boot/linux-2.0.27 /vmlinuz ln -s /boot/System.map-2.0.27 /System.map I suppose you are using a PC. Your lilo.conf file should point to /vmlinuz. Run lilo and reboot the system. It should work. Now it works! :-) Thanks. I think that a good thing would be, for beginners like me, a command help to do in prompt, like that of MSDOS, but without those cryptographic technical aspects. Something more clean than man or info, like ls do this, man do that, cp do ..., including kernel compilation, what to do when a library is in the directory but the program don't find it, etc. Can anyone do this in a debian tips-and-tricks_1.0.deb or what-you-ever-whant-to-know_1.0.deb package?

Latex installation troubles
I've cleaned my hd, downloaded the Debian 1.2 (rex), downloaded all the packages that were set the first time the system executed dselect, and installed them. All was ok, but when the dselect attempted to configurate the latex package, there was an error message: 'mf can't load libXt.so.6'. The required link/file is at /usr/X11R6/lib, so I attempted to put this directory in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, but this doesn't work, so I'm unable to install the latex package and other packages. Has anyone a solution? Could be an problem in the 'libXt.so.6' file? Thanks.

MC and libgpm.so.1
Hello, all. This morning I've been installing some Debian packages, and I've tried to install the Midnight Commander (../misc/mc_3.2.1-1.deb). It installed without warning or error, but when I attempt to use it, there is an error message Cannot find library libgpm.so.1 I thing, because the name of this library, that it's installed with the gpm package. But the gpm package is installed, and I didn't found this library in none of my directories. And gpm is working fine. In Debian 1.1 the Midnight Commander worked fine. Anyone know where is the library libgpm.so.1, or if it changed its name? Thanks.

Re: Help! I'm with mount problems...
Hello again. I'm new to the Linux Wonderfull World, and surfing the Web, I found the Debian page. I downloaded the Debian Linux, installed it, and used (+/-) since October, but I've not much experience, and an energy problem caused the system to display this message when the computer rebooted: -- EXT2-fs error (device 03:41): ext2_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 32 not in group (block 1310742)! [MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT 0,check=n,conv=b,uid=0,gid=0,umask=022,bmap] [me=0x2d,cs=0,#f=0,fs=0,fl=24338,ds=0,de=0,data=0,se=19456,ts=70529, ls=9471] Transaction block size=512 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:41 -- I don't understand completely this error message. It mentions both EXT-2 and MS-DOS. I assume that your root filesystem is ext2. Correct. I've attempted to boot with a diskette, and tried to manually mount the fs, because I know that there is another tables on the partition, but I don't know the 'mount' program, as the ext2-fs, *so* well. Ok, to mount an ext2 filesystem: mount -t ext2 /dev/partition mountpoint From what I see above, your partition should be /dev/hdb1. A typical mountpoint is /mnt. I tried this, but its results was an error message. :-( But beware, don't try to mount is without fsck'ing it. Try, before: e2fsck -f /dev/hdb1 And see what it says. The only boot disk that I have is the one of Debian Installation. Do you believe that its root disk hasn't the e2fsck program? Can you send this program attached in a reply, or say where can I find it? I'll mount my W95 partition with the program in it, and will attempt to use it... If it cannot fix the problems, then you'll have to use an alternate superblock, but that's another story. Can you tell me how to do it? I think the problem is in the first superblock, but don't know how to use another superblocks. If it works, you can try to mount it on mnt, check that about everything is ok, and reboot. Now, a stupid question :-) How can I check that everything is ok? I don't have books about Linux or Unix, and the little things that I learned was with the 'man' command. With my poor english, that was a true Mission: Impossible ;-) Thanks again!

I tried this, but its results was an error message. :-( Looks like it's verty f**cked'up then... You linux root fs is on the first partition of the second hard drive right ? Its device is /dev/hdb1 right ? Yes. Yes. But beware, don't try to mount is without fsck'ing it. Try, before: e2fsck -f /dev/hdb1 And see what it says. The only boot disk that I have is the one of Debian Installation. Do you believe that its root disk hasn't the e2fsck program? Can you send this program attached in a reply, or say where can I find it? I'll mount my W95 partition with the program in it, and will attempt to use it... Mmmh. I've sent it to you in a separate message (no need to send this to the lists). I'm not 100% sure it will work as this is Debian 1.2's e2fsck, there might be some library problems. If it doesn't work, email me and I'll make you a statically linked version. I tried, but there is the need of a libuuid... library. Please, send the other version. If it cannot fix the problems, then you'll have to use an alternate superblock, but that's another story. Can you tell me how to do it? I think the problem is in the first superblock, but don't know how to use another superblocks. Use the -b option on the command line. SuperBlock backups are stored every 8192 blocks (if you did format it normally, but I guess you did). You will want to: e2fsck -b superblock -f /dev/hdb1 The -f forces the check. You can try superblock=1 (will do the same as without the -b), superblock=8193, etc... (yes is starts at 1). If you've got a small root fs, and got some spare room somewhere, make a copy of the fs. In case something goes wrong, you'll be able to restart from scratch. To do this, mount your spare space on /mnt and do: dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=/mnt/copy-of-root-fs bs=1k Be sure you've got enough room... In the second winchester (/dev/hdb) I've only two partitions: the Linux partition (/dev/hdb1) with +/- 790Mb, and the Swap (/dev/hdb2) with +/- 30Mb. My first winchester (/dev/hda) has only one partition with 340Mb for my (eeck!) Windows 95 system. When I really know what I'm doing in Linux, I'll stop using W95 :-) Now, a stupid question :-) How can I check that everything is ok? I don't have books about Linux or Unix, and the little things that I learned was with the 'man' command. With my poor english, that was a true Mission: Impossible ;-) If e2fsck completes, it should be ok. Then retry to e2fsck the root fs without any option. It should recheck everything, and you shouldn't get anymore errors. If possible take note of the questions e2fsck asks when repairing. It might tell you it found unlinked files, etc... Good luck. I'll need it! :-) Thanks!
