building imagemagick from sources fails

Hi,

I'm trying to rebuild imagemagick from sources, but it fails

All dependencies, with apt-get build-dep, are verified; checking

Any idea how to fix this?

exim reject_recipients

2002-01-10 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes

Hi,

I'm trying to block some well known domains here in Brazil
regarded as used only by spammers, using the host_reject_recipients
directive in exim.
I've set it to a list of domains (host list form), but I got
some problems:

1. I've to put my local net in the list with a ! prepended so that my
users can send email, even though the local net is listed in
relay_domains

2. Even disabling host_lookup, all hosts that do not have a reverse
domain registered are being blocked.

So, how to block well known spammer domains, without blocking
others IP that do not contain reverse addresses registered.

exim host_lookup feature

2001-11-29 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes

Hi,

I'm trying to understand the above feature on exim config.
Is it supposed to block unqualified senders, e.g., people using
ppp connection w/o reverse dns?
If it's not, is there such option?
More, is this an appropriate measure to reduce spam from
adsl/ppp/isdn connections without reverse dns registered?
Comments on this subject are welcome.

I had it installed in my machine using alien, but only the packages for

intel-ldb-5.0.1-118.i386.rpm gives me erros too; alien cannot convert

intel-efc64-5.0.1-39.ia64.rpm is for Itanium(R) and cannot be converted
by alien.

besides this, the compilers work well, even though they produce code
that can only run in the same machine where flex license manager is
installed, unless you have bought them, which is not my case.

static library for NVidia GLX

2001-11-05 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes

Hi,

Is it possible to create static library for NVidia GLX?
I'm trying to compile a program but it fails to link with
libGL.a (that comes with xlibmesa3). So I think I need a static library
that is the same as the shared library installed by nvidia-glx.
Normally, the static library is provided by the -dev package,
but nvidia-glx-dev doesn't do.
Any help?

how to shutdown ghost tcp conections

2001-10-29 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes

Hi,

I've to use redir to connect the outside world to a web server
here in our department.
Unfortunately, the internal server had a crash, and, for some
reason, redir had problems with further connections, so I stopped it and
when I tried to restart, it complains that the address (port 80) is
already been used. That is correct, since there are some stalled
connections, not bound to any processes. They are listed below:

font problem in kde

2001-10-17 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes

Hi,

I'm experiencing a weird problem in kde:
- when using kde wm, I can't access all fonts available in my
system; it defaults to a very ugly and almost unreadable font (Arnold
Boecklin).
- when using another window manager, like wmaker, I launch kde
control center, choose the appropriate font (arial), apply it, the
control center window gets redrawn with the chosen font and every kde
app that I launch will have the right font (arial, courier, whatever).
Any hint on why this is happening?
How to find the culprit?

goes to IBM Deskstar page and get the specifications for your disk;
you'll see that the sustained transfer rate (Chapter 4) (the one hdparm

So your HD is OK! Try running bonnie++ and look its results; they will

netscape 6 and mozilla vs. kde (woody)

2001-09-04 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes

Hi,

I'm experiencing a strange behavior with the combo kde +
{netscape 6 | mozilla (0.9.3)}.
Since a apt-get dselect-upgrade some days ago, there is no way I
can run both under kde. If I switch to icewm|wmaker|fvwm2|whatever
everything is fine. With kde, doesn't matter if I try from xterm or from
a shortcut in workplace; nothing happens besides the processes staying
up, eating memory and some cpu cycles. I have to kill'em (-9)
Do you know why? Any hints, comments, suggestions, etc.

IDE Zip drive (internal) and devfsd

2001-08-30 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes

Hi,

I'm trying to access the internal zip drive (ide) that used to
be in /dev/hdd (with 2.4.7 kernel).
Since I upgraded to 2.4.8 with devfsd, the device is gone;
nothing in /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0 or any other place.
It's detected at boot time, and the identification appears to be
correct when the ide-scsi module is loaded.

hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 250 ATAPI Floppy, ATAPI FLOPPY drive

How can I make it works again, without having to reboot in

I have qtcups installed here from a .deb file. Check it again!

it's is in woody/testing; version is 2.0-3, using qt-2.3.0-final

are you using potato? if yes, then I guess even qtcups from a rpm won't
work correctly, since it might depend on a higher version of cupsys
than the available from potato.

pine and Maildir

2001-06-28 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes


Hi,

I've a box with exim, qpopper and imapd for email services.
Users can read email through pine, IMP/Horde, or pop3.
I would like the change over to Maildir format, using lower
footprint servers, since the box is a old p100 machine.
Questions:

1. can pine use Maildir format, with a site config change
(/etc/pine.conf)? __abandoning__ pine is not possible immediately.

2. since IMP works with imap, just changing the imap server to use
Maildir instead of Mailbox will be enough or do I need to tackle
deeper/harder?

Thanks for any info/point/docs on this {cha|challe}nge.

the Bxboards url is:

hard lock!

2001-06-21 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes

Hi,

Yesterday I did an apt-get -u dselect-upgrade using woody in
sources.list.
Now I'm having some hard lock, where my keyboard and mouse stop
answering; fortunately I was able to ssh into my machine and kill
several processes.
This happened twice when I was visiting BXBoards site; I also
had 3 other Netscape window open so I'm not sure who, if any, is the
culprit site. I also tried with konqueror and it crashed in the same
way, that is, hard lock!
Is somebody experiencing such locks?
I'm using woody since the install, 2.4.5 kernel, Nvidia card
(Riva TNT2 Ultra 32MB), X 4.x with Nvidia drivers (nvidia-glx,
nvidia-kernel).

I believe this was corrected in kernel 2.4.4 as I got such process when

Qt is multi platform: Linux, Unices, Windows, embedded, etc. IRC, the
windows version is commercial. (www.trolltech.com)

Python+Tk = Tkinter is also multi platform, although is interpreted; if
that doesn't matter, it's a good RAD tool.

Tcl+tk is also multi platform

Pseudo Image Kit

Hi,

I'm trying to use the pseudo image kit to build iso images from

I got the .list files, ran make-pseudo-image script, got the
650MB files and now I'm going to run rsync to transform the pseudo-image
files in real iso9660 files.
My doubt is: the pseudo-image files have lots of plain text in
the beginning (statements about US export laws, mirror lists, etc) and
then the binary data. Is this correct? I mean, does the iso file on the
mirror contains such plain text as well so that they can be synchronized?

I've installed CUPS in my box but I could not manage to have it

Even trying the "Print a File" from  KUPS I can't print
anything. Also I can't access the admin page from localhost:631/admin.
I have a Epson Stylus Color (old model) that is not recognized
by CUPS as this printer seems not to conform to IEEE 1284 device ID
information. But I select the proper driver (Epson Stylus Color) from
CUPS database and the Test Page prints fine; indeed, very good quality.
I'm running unstable/testing combo; my parallel port is (as
dmesg reports):

have you compiled the drivers you got through APT? when you do
# apt-get install nvidia-kernel-src nvidia-glx-src

it'll only download the drivers and put them in proper location to be
recompiled with your kernel source.

so, once you have the packages installed, you should do:

# cd /usr/sr/$KERNEL_SOURCE
# make-kpkg modules_image
# cd ..
# dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-`uname -r`_0.9.769-1_i386.deb

for more details, see:
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-src/README.Debian

for nvidia-glx, see
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-src/README.Debian

as the build procedure is slightly different

Hi,

I've some improvements using alsa drivers instead of kernel's
own. I'm using 2.4.3, however. I only used the OSS driver soundcore.
Up to now, I have: (cat /proc/asound/sndstat)

--
Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.5.10b emulation code)
Kernel: Linux voabaixo 2.4.3 #1 Tue Apr 17 10:54:39 BRT 2001 i686
Config options: 0

Installed drivers:
Type 10: ALSA emulation

Card config:
C-Media PCI CM8738 at 0xb800, irq 10

Audio devices:
0: C-Media PCI DAC/ADC (DUPLEX)

Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

Timers:
7: system timer

Mixers:
0: CMedia PCI

--
As you see, I was not able to have Synth and Midi working, but
at least RealPlayer is working, that is, I have to stop the artsd - Kde
sound daemon, to use but its better than nothing. Also, I'm getting
better sound with CD's as it offers some mixer capabilities (not all).
My lsmod output is:

Re: >2Gb files

2001-04-11 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes

Hi,
Maybe you've received better suggestion, but any way I'll offer
my $0.02.
When you recompiled libc, where the compiler looks for the
kernel's header?
I mean: it might be the case that gcc is using
/usr/include/linux (2.2.18) for the kernel's header instead of your
/usr/src/linux/include/linux (2.4.3)
So I think that for enable >2GB files you should copy all
/usr/src/linux/include/linux to /usr/include/linux and then try to
recompile glibc.
Just my $0.02

sudo is your friend!

use visudo to edit the sudoers file; I did the following:


---
# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias  CDRECORD=/usr/bin/cdrecord
Cmnd_Alias  GCOMBUST=/usr/bin/gcombust
Cmnd_Alias  XCDROAST=/usr/bin/xcdroast
Cmnd_Alias  MKISOFS=/usr/bin/mkisofs

ALL ALL = CDRECORD, GCOMBUST, XCDROAST, MKISOFS
---


then any user can use sudo to burn cd's

if you want to restrict to some users, then replace the first ALL for
the user names.

did you have troubles with ps files from mpage, using gs-aladdin from

I got strange (=weird) behavior, with ps2pdf generating the first page

Dell OptiPlex GX110

2001-03-15 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes

Hi,

We received such a machine and I've installed Debian
testing/unstable on it.
I'm running 2.4.3-pre4 and one problem I was not able to get
solved is for DMA/UltraDMA.
The box has a Maxtor 20GB 7200rpm 5T020H2 model and whenever I
try to set the using_dma flag with hdparm I get an HDPIO_something not
permitted.
Does anyone has a clue about this? How to enable DMA in this HD.
The chipset is i810 with Intel Host Controller (ICH). The kernel
detects it correctly, but nothing else.
I've tried to pass several parameters to kernel at boot with
little success (ide0=dma idebus=66 hda=autotune), that is, the bus speed
was set to 66MHz but DMA and PIO optimization were ignored at all, or at
least not set.
TIA

which are the permissions on /tmp directory?

maybe you have a 's' in group permissions; setting it to 'x' may solve

try: # chmod 1777 /tmp

I think the rest of the line is worth mention: "...apt-get has a "smart"
conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most
important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary"

Another option is to do a "dselect-upgrade"; this will try to honor the

modconf w/ 2.4 kernel

Hi,

I've installed 2.4.0-test11, upgrading all necessary programs,
mainly util-linux, modutils and e2fsprogs (apt-get -b source (woody)).
After rebooting to load the new kernel, my modules didn't get
loaded properly. In fact, even modprobe didn't work. I had to use insmod
with each module, guessing the dependencies from the error msgs.
Then I upgrade modconf to reconfigure the modules; it fails to

available modules.

if you're going to upgrade debian pacakges, you'll do better if you
dpkg --purge old-packages

debian enforces files going to specific locations that not always are

docbook-utils

2000-11-24 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes

Hi,

I trying to learn DocBook using the Crash Course by David Rugge,
Mark Galassi and Eric Bischoff.
At the installation section, they mention a docbook-utils rpm
package which contains some shell scripts and perl utilities, such as:
docbook2html, docbook2ps, docbook2pdf, etc.
In the Debian package task-sgml I could only find docbook2man
and docbook2texi.
Does somebody know where to find this utilities as .deb
packages?
Thanks,

IIRC, the installation script warned me about app-defaults being moved
to /etc/X11/app-defaults and that all applications should use this new
location.

if there are security related problems they are:
a. back fixed and uploaded to security.debian.org
b. made potato compatible and uploaded to security

new packages cannot be just put on potato tree! they could break others
packages and this breaks the Debian Way(TM) of doing things we all
like!

an alternate approach I have been using is to download source packages
from woody and compile them on my potato box. this way I have woody debs
on my potato box. most packages compile just fine.

see my other msg on how to add deb-src to your /etc/apt/sources.list

then, after you "apt-get updated" your database, just:

# apt-get -b source package

it'll download, unpack, build and put the deb on the current directory.

if something goes wrong, go to the 'debian' directory inside the newly
created package directory and look in the control file to find out which
package (look at the dependencies entry) you're missing.

ps versus top VSZ and RSS

2000-10-27 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes

Hi,

I'm trying to find what should be the best limits to my users

Today I found a strange output from ps:

mlalic   17348 99.1 32.6 241104 84216 ?  R11:26   5:15 lapw1

mlalic   17363 99.3 32.7 241100 84404 ?  R11:26   5:15 lapw1

and from top:

  PID USER PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT  LIB %CPU %MEM   TIME

17363 mlalic18   0 84400  82M   576 R   0 99.5 32.7   3:37 lapw1
17348 mlalic15   0 84212  82M   576 R   0 97.2 32.6   3:37 lapw1


So my question: what is the real VSZ lapw1 processes are using?
Maybe better: are VSZ and SIZE the same thing? Am I
misunderstanding here?

BTW, my system has 2 CPU's, that is, SMP. Do I need special
ps|top for correct info? Where to get them?

# ps -V
procps version 2.0.6

my klipper also crash very soon after starting kde2.
konqueror also crash easily, though I was not able to track exactly what
operations cause it.

I'm using kde2 as my desktop, but only using few apps from kde. Even the
terminal (konsole) is unusable for me as I couldn't manage it to accept
dead keys, already configured in X (all apps can use but konsole).

It's a nice desktop but too slow in my old p133 with ~48MB RAM.

I've used a simple for bash, like this:

ISDN newbie

Hi,

I just received a isdn connection at home.
Till now, I've a USR isa modem working great with Linux.
The isdn standard in Brazil is the Europe Standard.
The NT used has a RS232 adaptor and according to the telco, it
has a internal isdn adaptor.
Well, my doubts are: is it possible to use this RS232 to connect
to Linux serial port and then to use ISDN4Linux?
I read the ISDN4Linux faq but as far as I could understand, the
faq deals only with the case where one has and isdn adaptor inside his
PC. That is not my case, yet!
Any pointer, clue, hints are welcome!
