identificacao de placa PCI 182d:9790

2005-01-05 Thread Pedro Quaresma de Almeida
Carissimos

Comprei à pouco uma placa PCI-Wireless da Sitecom (WL-121 v3) e não
estou a conseguir colocá-la a funcionar num sistema Debian (kernel
2.6.9). Julgo que a placa usa um Prism Nitro da Conexant.

No entanto a placa afixa um identificação de 182d:9790

Network controller: Unknown device 182d:9790

182d é a identificação da Sitecom o 9790 é ??? o da placa ???

Como é que posso actualizar a lista de dispositivos reconhecidos?

O chip prism54 têem números de identificação 1260:3890, isto será de
um tipo completamente diferente (no MS-win diz que é prism)?

Alguém tem experiência com este tipo de dispositivo e/ou com
dispositivos semelhantes mas que também usem o Prism Nitro?

Todas as dicas são bem-vindas.

Kppp and ppp

2004-01-08 Thread Pedro Quaresma de Almeida
Hi

I am trying to use kppp as a friendly interface to my dialup
connection, the goal is to provide a easy to use program to all the
users of a Debian system.

I have managed to configure de dialup connection through the pppconfig
program, pon and poff are working fine, but kppp is not.

I have tried the automatic configuration (Portugal,Netc), and the
manual configuration, in both situations I receive the following
message:


The remote system is required to authenticate itself...

and nop :(

i) what are (and where) the logs of kppp?

ii) I read the html-manual and there the speak about using the ppp
configuration, but they don't explain how. Can you give me a hint?

Thanks.

KPPP em Portugal e em Debian

2004-01-07 Thread Pedro Quaresma de Almeida
Olá

Estou a tentar usar o kppp num sistema Debian (julgo que isso não é
relevante) para me ligar ao Netc.

Usei a configuração do kppp e foi muito fácil, escolhi Portugal e
depois Netc e pronto. Mas quando tento fazer a ligação dá-me a
mensagem 

The remote system is required to authenticate itself...

e nada.

Eu já configurei a ligação através do ppp e funciona bem pon
ligacaoNetc, ..., poff. 

Também já li a ajuda do kppp (pelo menos parte) mas fico na mesma,
eles dizem que é necessário editar manualmente o ficheiro
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets mas não dizem nada como o fazer.

Eu estou interessado em configurar o kppp para poder dar um interface
amigável aos outros utilizadores do computador, o que levanta outro
problema, quais são as alterações a efectuar para que um utilizador
normal possa usar o kppp?

Toda a ajuda é bem-vinda :) Obrigado.

Permissões nos dispositivos USB

Olá

Tenho uma máquina digital Nikon Coolpix 2100 e estou a utilizar o

  Indeed, you don't have a main(). If this is a driver rather than a
  program, perhaps you want to compile it as a shared object?
  

The program is in another file exemplo.c, but the problem is in this
driver.

  
  You need to link the X library using -lX11.
  

That's my problem! When I do 

   gcc xdriver.c -shared -lX11 -o xdriver.so 

I get

  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

But I have the xlibs...

ii  xlibs  4.1.0-5X Window System client libraries
ii  xlibs-dev  4.0.3-4X Window System client library development


Is this a problem with the PATH, I have tried to compile with

-I/usr/include

but without any luck.

Ou melhor eles arrancam, mostram o ecrã inicial deixam uma pessoa
colocar o nome e a senha mas depois não conseguem fazer arrancar o
gestor de janelas (kde,fvwm2,...). Tenho o wdm a funcionar mas
preferia o kdm.

Não estou a conseguir ter autorização para fazer arrancar clientes X
quando mudo de utilizador.

Isto é, entro normalmente, o ambiente de janelas arranca, mas depois
se faço telnet para outra máquina, ou mesmo dentro da própria máquina
mas para outro utilizador, sou incapaz de fazer arrancar qualquer
aplicação gráfica.

É de notar que o inverso consigo, isto é estando numa máquina remota e
fazendo o telnet para esta consigo correr remotamente aplicações
gráficas. 


Qual será o problema?

Quais os ficheiros a procurar/examinar?

Quais são os ficheiros log aonde se poderão procurar eventuais

  Okay, I'll go for the standard questions...
  
  1) Do you have the IR enabled in the BIOS?

I think so (I will verify that anyway after sending this message), I
have a dual machine Linux/Win32 and I am almost shure that I already
used the IrDA port under Win32. 

  2) Do you have IrDA (infrared) support compiled/modules into/for your
  kernel?
  

I read the Linux Infrared HOWTO and I've tried to follow it:

pcporta16:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.4# make xconfig 

and then:

 Ultra protocol y
 IrDA protocol options  y
 Cache last LSAPy

IrDA Device drivers

 IrTTY  y
 IrPORT y

But, it seems that the IrDA device it is there

 The SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument, SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

 route add -net ${NETWORK}.
 
  One quick question: i'm not using network, only modem ppp, but i get on
  the startup the same message: SIODCADDRT: invalid argument. It happens
  when init.d runs route add -net 127.0.0.0 And my question is: if
  ifconfig doesn't need this, why is this still there?
 

Yes, route add -net 127.0.0.0 is also not needed. From memory, ifconfig 
requires the route add -net lines if you are running a 2.0.x kernel (I
think). However, the 

[ ${GATEWAY} ]  route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1 

line is required (if you put your computer on a network with a gateway
anyway).


Many thanks for your help.

Re: Many computers working together?

2000-01-28 Thread Pedro Quaresma de Almeida
Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 16:17:25 +0100
From: Davide Anchisi [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My question is not strictly debian related and rises from two
considerations:
1. most computers, for most of the time they are on, don't use theire
full power;
2. when doing an hard job resources are never enough (the more you have
the better is).
I wonder if there is a way to make 2 or more different machines work
together as a big multiprocessor computer so that resources can be
sheared and used where and when needed.
In this way you could perform powerfull computing tasks without _a_
powerfull computer.

Do you know if it's possible to do that under Debian GNU/Linux and how?

Please answer even to my e-mail adress as I have not subscribed the
Debian-user list.


Look at the Debian-Beowulf project

Modem does not work

I already managed to put it working under MicroMole (MicroDull

I already try to use minicom, pon, seyon, kppp, ... but no luck :(

The /proc/pci says

From: Damon Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've be playing around with LaTeX, after having successfully avoided it
for years, and I've run up accross a little problem.


To many years inded :)


I start my document as follows:

\documentstyle[a4]{article}


\documentstyle is for the LaTeX2.09, the (very) old LaTeX version.

But I get the following:

! LaTeX Error: File `a4.sty' not found.


Yes the a4.sty was never a standard style file in LaTeX2.09, and does
not exist in the new version LaTeX (LaTeX2e).

Anyone know where this file might be and why I don't seem to have it on
my system? 

There seems to be an a4dutch.sty, but I'm not dutch, and don't speak or
write in dutch, so I don't think that's what I want.


If you have installed a (more or less) new TeX system you must do

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

I know a couple people who have installed this card, including myself.
Here is what I did.
1. From http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE_E.html, I got the following 
   for my Matrox G200 video card,
xmatrox-2.2-0.i386.rpm
xsuseconfig-981102.tgz
2. I ran
alien xmatrox-2.2-0.i386.rpm
   which created the debian file
xmatrox_2.2-1_i386.deb
   I install this xmatrox_2.2-1_i386.deb file,
  dpkg -i xmatrox_2.2-1_i386.deb

3. I uncompressed and installed
xsuseconfig-981102.tgz
   This has the program xf86config, which will recognize your matrox G200 
   card.  Specifically this tar file has two files,
  /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config
  /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Cards
These two files replace those belonging to the xbase package.
4. Backup /etc/X11/XF86Config, then run
  xf86config
4. You probably don't even need to run xf86config.
   If you don't mind using your old resolutions (eg, 1024x768)
   and the old amounts for video memory, 
   then you need only change the first line of Xserver to
  /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_Matrox
This surprised and delighted me that I didn't need to run xf86config
or alter XF86Config when going from an NEC C500 monitor and a 
Number 9 S3V video card to a newer Nokia 445Xpro monitor and
a Matrox G200 video card.
I eventually did run xf86config, though, with no real problems.
This xf86config seemed to know I had 8192 KB memory.


The package xmatrox_2.2-0.i386.rpm has the files
   /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_Matrox
   /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.XFCom_Matrox
   /usr/doc/xmatrox/copyright
   /usr/doc/xmatrox/changelog.Debian
   /usr/doc/xmatrox/buildinfo.Debian
All these are uniquely matrox so present no conflicts with other files.

When you upgrade packages with dselect, dselect won't know the location
of xmatrox (for all practical purposes, I removed my created  matrox debian 
package), though it knows you installed it and what its files are.  When you 
eventually do upgrade to a version of debian with
the Matrox G200 driver (maybe in March, 1999?), then you can of course
purge this xmatrox package.

Any upgrade of xbase will replace your two new files from suse.

In the past I could more easily get my video card's driver, 
but once I got the xmatrox package, I found installation much simpler.
For example, I did not need to do an X --probeonly to get the clocks.



 
 I am (hopefully) putting a Matrox Millennium G200 AGP in my linux box
 next month.  I know that S.u.S.E has an Xserver for this card, but I can
 only find tarballs and RPMs for it.  I now have two questions:
 
 1) Is there a deb of the Matrox Xserver?
 
 2) In the event I can't find a deb, would installing the xserver from a
 tarball or an RPM cause any problems with compatibility?  Say with
 updates, other libs, etc...

Re: Emacs without X in Debian?

1999-06-11 Thread Pedro Quaresma de Almeida


Hi, I've just installed Debian Linux on a very small partition (60mb).
I want to install emacs, but the only Debian packages available (emacs19
and emacs20) both seem to require XWindows, which I don't have nearly
enough room for.  Also, I don't have enough room for gcc, so compiling
stuff myself isn't an option.  Does anyone know where I could find a
Debian emacs package that doesn't depend on Xlib, etc?  Thanks in
advance. Loren.



Emacs does not need X!, You can work with emacs with any brand of dumb
terminal.

Xemacs (the name says it all) needs X, but Emacs does'nt.

Auto Shut-off

1999-06-11 Thread Pedro Quaresma de Almeida
Hi

My new box has an automatic shut-off capability, i.e. in ms-windows
you make shutdown and the box shuts itself off (without the need of
pressing the button).

How can I have the same beaveour in Linux?

Now, whenever I want to shut-off the computer, I do a shutdown at Linux,
them I must!!! (the switch-off button does not work, it is only a
switch-on button) go to ms-windows to do a shutdown there (with the
corresponding shut-off action).

Re: SoundBlaster PCI64

1999-06-02 Thread Pedro Quaresma

   I think you will either need to upgrade your kernel to 2.2.x, or use alsa
   with the pci 64. The reason pnpdump doesn't say anything about it is that
   it is not an isa card. You need either the es1370, or es1371 driver. Check
   /proc/pci to find out wich.



Thank you all for the all the help you gave to me. But I need a litle more :)

I have changed to kernel 2.2.5

Doing cat /proc/pci I discover that

...
Bus 0, ...
 Multimedia audio controler: Ensoniq AudioPCI (rev 1).

So I recompiled my kernel with the Ensoniq option and, ...

I can already ear my Music CDs :)

I can already ear sound made by programs (like xpat2) :), but it sounds bad :(.

Just because you have depth 16 in there, it doesn't mean its running at that
depth, try startx -- -bpp 16 and see if that fixes it, if not then try
startx -- bpp 32.  You can also put this in your XF86Conig, the line is:
DefaultColorDepth 16 (or 32)

Depth 16 means 16 bits per pixel which is something like 64000 colors, depth
32 is 32 bits per pixel, and is 16 million colors.


Thank you for your precious info.

Are there any commands that allows one to see the actual
configuration?

Something like showcolors, or showdepth, or ...?

You must have a look at isapnptools.

The debian package says:

Description: ISA Plug-And-Play configuration utilities.
 This program is suitable for all systems, whether or not they
 include a PnP BIOS. In fact, a PnP BIOS adds some complications
 because it may already activate some cards so that the drivers
 can find them, and these tools can unconfigure them, or change
 their settings causing all sorts of nasty effects.

I think that you will be able to find a package for slackware.

This is the problem.  update-menus checks to see if there is indeed a
package staroffice4 installed on your system.  If not, it will not
include an entry.

There are a couple of solution.

  * I believe that there is a Debian package that will install a fake
package.

  * Use ?package(some_other_package_that_is_installed).  This will
work and shouldn't cause problems with the other package.

 I couldn't find any information about it...
 

The (La)TeX font files in a Debian box are at:


/var/spool/texmf/pk/printer

e.g.

/var/spool/texmf/pk/ljfivemp/

you can go there and delete the file you want (or all of them).

Nis refusing logins

1998-01-30 Thread Pedro Quaresma de Almeida
Hi
==

I have instaled  nis_3.1.deb (with libc6) but I am having problems
with the non-local users.

I have the following entry in /etc/passwd

  +piupiu:*:0:0::/home/merlin/msky:/bin/bash

but when the user piupiu try to login

  Debian GNU/Linux 1.3 hilbert.mat.uc.pt

  hilbert login: piupiu
  Password: 
  Login incorrect

What is the problem (and the solution)?

I have set the ypdomain correctly, ypwhich finds the correct machine,
ypcat passwd | grep piupiu finds the correct user, but...


Thank you

Have you upgraded to libc6?


Yes.

I have a Matrox Millenium II, and it requires the last XFree release,
and it requires the upgrad to libc6.

 I need the last version of libc5 because I need the last version of
 xbase (I have a matrox millenium II), so I need libc6, so I need libc5
 (last version).

The setup script is being confused by your xlib6g (the rest of the
staroffice stuff works).  A hack to get it to work is to rename
/usr/XllR6/lib to /usr/X11R6/libx, run the setup util, then rename the
directory back.


Thank you. I have done what you suggest and it worked fine.
