Re: Trying to find 80wire ide extension cable in France
Nigel Henry wrote: Sorry for posting this here. I've got one fixed drive, vertical on the front of the machine. the other drives are accessed using a 5 1/4 slot hard drive caddy. This is a carrier that fits in one of my 5 1/4 slots, and I have numerous harddrives in drawers that slot into the caddy. The problem I have is with the ide ribbon cable. It's not long enough to connect to both drives, because of their locations. I bought the only extension cable available in the UK a 40 wire one, and had this connected to the harddrive caddy. The end of the 80 wire cable was conected to the fixed data drive. I was constantly getting bootup problems, so swapped the connections to the 2 drives. Now, whichever OS I boot, boots ok with no problems, but I see on the bootup text complaints about the 40 wire extension cable that's connected to hdb, like "this is only a 40 wire cable and this drive will be treated as ata33". Obviously I need an 80 wire extension to resolve the problem. Is there anyone on this list living in France, that knows where to get some 80 wire extension cables. Just a little problem I'd like to resolve. Any help as always appreciated. Nigel. There's a limit to the length of IDE cables and most people seem to put the second connector in an inconvenient place, the easiest way to get out of spec cables is to make them. As an alternative can you not put the removable drive bay either on it's own cable (best) or on the same cable as the optical drive?

I can't calibrate my touchscreen
Hi everyone, I have some difficulties calibrating my touchscreen that I just installed. I installed my touchscreen on debian with penmount driver for DMC9000 controller (my touchscreen is connected on /dev/ttyS1) Now I can move the mouse cursor with the touchscreen, but there is like a mirror behaviour, whenever I touch and try move the mouse cursor to the right, the mouse cursor moves left, when I go up, it goes down. I tried using the calibration tool to calibrate the touchscreen (adv- calib) The calibration tool prompted me to touch the red square at the top left hand corner, but no matter how many times I press on the touchscreen at the red square, it doesn't go to the next step, it's just stuck there. Any one has any idea as to why is it like that? Any help is appreciated Thank you Regards, Tony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Problem with amixer or ...
I've finally revisited this so should update you folks... Andrew Sackville-West suggested purging and reinstalling alsa-tools, alsa-base, and alsa-utils and then not running alsaconf at all. Without running alsaconf, sound still doesn't work, and, for example, xmms gives me the 'Make sure your soundcard is configured' box. Chris Lale asked: 'Can you set a new sound level for Master in alsamixer? Is the new level persistent?'; I can't do anything in alsamixer, as attempting to invoke it gives me alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument I think 'I think that the problem may lie with amixer. If I run "amixer scontrols", it reports almost all my settings at zero!' is very near the heart of the problem. 'amixer scontrols' gives me: amixer: Mixer default load error: Invalid argument 'amixer controls' gives me somewhat more useful output: [...] numid=7,iface=MIXER,name='Surround Playback Volume' [...] amixer: Control default snd_hctl_elem_info error: Invalid argument And if I manually set amixer -c 0 cset numid=7 80% I do get a non-zero volume - that is, I have sound. The volume and balance controls in gxine, xmms, etc. don't do anything, but this is a start. In answer to Florian Kulzer, the relevant lspci line is: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) I'm not interested in a kernel upgrade just at the moment but will check out the links provided.

new beta packages for cacti/spine(former cacti-cactid) available
hello debian-user, for those of you who use cacti I've prepared some packages of the beta4 release of cacti/spine 0.8.7 (for spine, i386 and amd64 builds), which are now available for general testing and feedback. The easiest way to upgrade is to put: deb http://people.debian.org/~seanius/cacti/beta ./ into your /etc/apt/sources.list, and run apt-get update for users who don't already have cacti installed, they can then do: apt-get install cacti mysql-server and to install spine: apt-get install spine for users who have cacti (but not cacti-cactid) already installed: apt-get upgrade for users who have cacti and cacti-cactid installed: apt-get dist-upgrade is needed, to transition from cacti-cactid to the new spine package. i'll make a best effort to keep this repository up to date with any future releases between now and the official 0.8.7 release, and any feedback you might have about problems/errors/etc is welcome. sean -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Trying to find 80wire ide extension cable in France
Sorry for posting this here. I've got one fixed drive, vertical on the front of the machine. the other drives are accessed using a 5 1/4 slot hard drive caddy. This is a carrier that fits in one of my 5 1/4 slots, and I have numerous harddrives in drawers that slot into the caddy. The problem I have is with the ide ribbon cable. It's not long enough to connect to both drives, because of their locations. I bought the only extension cable available in the UK a 40 wire one, and had this connected to the harddrive caddy. The end of the 80 wire cable was conected to the fixed data drive. I was constantly getting bootup problems, so swapped the connections to the 2 drives. Now, whichever OS I boot, boots ok with no problems, but I see on the bootup text complaints about the 40 wire extension cable that's connected to hdb, like "this is only a 40 wire cable and this drive will be treated as ata33". Obviously I need an 80 wire extension to resolve the problem. Is there anyone on this list living in France, that knows where to get some 80 wire extension cables. Just a little problem I'd like to resolve. Any help as always appreciated. Nigel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You call it with Mod-P (I recommend remapping that to something else as it intereferes with some gtk apps) and then start typing. It pops up a list of matches (in the status bar) that gets selectively more relevant. Its kinda fun actually to try and come up with the shortest unique set of keystrokes to get the program you want. Mod-P c-e-w gets iceweasel on my box.

Also you can set ~/.xdefaults for some apps with geometry settings that make sense for you. and FTR, I don't really think you could successfully pull off using wmii within xfce like that.

Re: Regarding tar and split
Hi Sean, You might consider using Lha. It does the same as tar and bzip2 together (although you can disable compression). It has a simple syntax. You can also view the contents of the archive and even extract one single file from it. Example (suppose I have a 'work' dir with a.o. the file 'abc' in it): cd ~ lha a work.lha work/ (pack and compress entire dir incl. sub dirs) lha v work.lha ( view contents) lha x work.lha work/abc(extract only the file work/abc from the archive).

The answer is a resounding "maybe." cpio has some advantages over tar when doing compressed backups. It compresses each file individually, instead of compressing the entire archive. This makes a big difference for data recovery. If part of a compressed tar archive gets corrupted, you'll probably lose the whole thing. If part of a compressed cpio archive gets corrupted, you'll lose only the individual files affected by the corruption. This was probably more of a concern back in the days when we all backed up to tape, but bad hard disk sectors and scratched DVD-Rs do happen. cpio has a really horrid command line syntax, though. ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It's surprisingly unknown: people are always complaining about learning latex, but with texmaker you hardly need to.

Perhaps surprisingly, I have often done this by hand. Choose a very fine grit -- the best in the UK is "Brasso", intended for polishing brass, as you might guess. Use a soft clean cloth. You can get quite serious scratches out by multiple applications and polishes. The surface acquires a slight "wave" where you work on it most, but they seem to be readable usually.

From Ubuntu i chrooted into the fresh Debian installation and loaded/installed the Ubuntu kernel (with no succes), i build a custom kernel from 2.6.22.6 sources without initrd (with no succes). All without the desired effect of me being able to boot into Debian again. So in my view now grub also gets suspected because this can't load the kernel. I am now using Ubuntu and it looks very nice, maybe i try Debian a few weeks later again or so, when my mood feels like it.

Thanks, guys. I have been doing the same sort of thing -- in more
complex templates -- for some years. I've always felt it was a bit
clumsy to finish up with all these files cluttering up my nice clean
directories. So now you have spurred me into writing a script to take
a given letter -- just the bit from the address to the end of the
content -- and add the template letterhead, the date, and the closing,
put the heading in bold, then latex, dvips, save a tagline on the
original body file to say which template was used, what date, and what
style of closing, clean up the intermediate files and make tea.
Well, I nearly did it too, but I couldn't persuade bash to stop
stripping out backslashes, so I've started again in perl. Nearly there
now. So thanks for the stimulation. I've been putting this off for
years. Now I'll be able to write letters mostly in plain text. :-)
But it doesn't yet make tea...

I don't think this is necessarily indicative of anything unless you know you've got the same packages installed on both machines, although that USB message above may point to a flaky controller or driver. Look at the package differences between the two systems first, as that's fairly easy to compare. Tail -f the logs while using that disk to see if those errors crop up during that spin-up time and try plugging into a different USB port to see if you can get on a different controller to start isolating that as potential problem (lsusb helps here). Finally, don't discount the possibility of a failing power supply. A failing power supply can wreak subtle havoc everywhere. A signature.asc Description: Digital signature

computer freezes, no obvious reason
Hi, I recently installed debian stable. Immediately after that I downloaded and compiled myself the latest kernel version: 2.6.22.8. Since my machine is quad core I enabled SMP and other things that seemed appropriate. The system boots up and works almost fine, however I am experiencing the following weird problems: When I try to compile something with g++ every now and then I get the following message: ./matrix.cpp:602: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions. For Debian GNU/Linux specific bug reporting instructions, see . The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem. Also because I had to install the fglrx driver from the radeon web page (v 8.41.7), which for some reason requires libstdc++5, and everything else requires libstdc++6 when I compile opengl applications I get a warning that there may be possible conflicts between libstdc++5 and libstdc++6 and sometimes the compiled executable works and sometimes does not. Also every now and then everything just freezes and the only thing left for me to do is press the reset button. Looking at kern.log and syslog shows nothing suspicious around the time this happens. I did search through kern.log and syslog for suspicios messages and I have attached all I found below (perhaps there are more): kern.log: potato kernel: No NUMA configuration found potato kernel: Faking a node at -7fef potato kernel: swsusp: Registered nosave memory region: 0009b000 - 0009c000 potato kernel: usb 2-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 (this repeats many times while running, every few minutes if I use the device) potato kernel: ClientGUI[7156] general protection rip:2b6259cf66ce rsp:7fff534bf4c0 error:0 potato kernel: ClientGUI[7296]: segfault at ffe8 rip 2b9d486c76d4 rsp 7fff64aecaf0 error 4 potato kernel: ClientGUI[8543] general protection rip:2b2c244416ce rsp:7fff88d72d80 error:0 potato kernel: ClientGUI[8706]: segfault at 0110 rip 2b363e36c6ce rsp 7fff6ee47e50 error 4 (where ClientGUI is an opengl application that I am writing, uses wxwidgets, gl and glu) Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: WARNING: at fs/buffer.c:570 __remove_assoc_queue() Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: Call Trace: Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: [] drop_buffers+0xa4/0xec Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: [] try_to_free_buffers+0x57/0x 9b Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: [] shrink_inactive_list+0x4ed/ 0x83a Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: [] __pagevec_release+0x19/0x22 Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: [] shrink_active_list+0x483/0x491 Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: [] thread_return+0x0/0xdb Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: [] shrink_zone+0xf4/0x11d Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: [] kswapd+0x2da/0x489 Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: [] autoremove_wake_function+0x 0/0x2e Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: [] kswapd+0x0/0x489 Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: [] kthread+0x47/0x75 Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: [] child_rip+0xa/0x12 Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: [] kthread+0x0/0x75 Oct 4 15:03:26 potato kernel: [] child_rip+0x0/0x12 The same messages repeat of course in syslog.

I've been watching for some action on this thread as I have the same chip giving me fits. It appears that I have to use the built-in keys to turn the radio off and then back on to get it to actually wake up and connect. Its been a little frustrating. I've also found Network Manager to be unpredictable if not down right impossible to use. It seems to be too smart for its own good sometimes. I've ended up having to use a different tool: wifi-radar and (shudder) rebooting to get wireless to work. Typically, the dance I had to go (this was on a cross coutnry trip -- different wireless in each hotel) through was down all the interfaces, comment out the wired ethernet from /etc/network/interfaces, reboot, then use wifi-radar to connect entering appropriate keys etc. Sometimes I'd have to manually shutdown the radio (as above) and bring it back up to get it to go. I'm not convinced that my problems are necessarily with the driver/interface but that cycling the radio thing suggests it might be. I'm planning to wipe that lappy and start over anyway (need to use encryption) so I'll start over from scratch on the wireless. If I get anything useful I'll post it up. .02 A signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Can you help about udp?
Hi all I use linux as GiGE router and have 6 NIC on it Those days the NIC interrupt takes around 100% CPU but the system is 4G memroy and 8 CPU. I can't see any error packet in this NIC interface too After I block the udp, the %CPU drops. but the UDP only takes around 8M in general We use UDP traffic for voice.

If I ignored the indexing issue (since most of my work with tar is large, non-incremental backups where I typically restore the entire contents - it would be nice if there was indexing, but is not a huge problem), should I still use something other than tar? Right now, I use it to backup large files over multiple media, and tar's multipart feature allows me to do this without having to duplicate all of the files on my hard disk (though I have enough room to do this if I needed to). But if I were to use split instead of tar -M, and I don't need the archives indexed, should I still switch to another archive format (cpio, ar, iso)? Also, if I give tar the --posix flag with -M, doesn't that make it so the archive does not use the gnu extensions and follows the standard format?

Yes, I know I can set in various places in /etc but I want to set it only for this user account and I want it to be changeable for the user. Why does it not work when placed in ~./bashrc or ~/.bash_profile? I can set in in shell each time I have logged in and a source .bashrc also works.

Fixed : texmaker bug?
Update The root gets the same message. I actually miss a trick to monitor what's going on when I start the program. Do you mean "strace"? Using strace, I could find the error comes from the infos in the init files : Using brute force, that is replacing the content of /user/.config/xm1/texmaker.conf by the content of /root/.config/xm1/texmaker.ini fixed the bug.
