Re: Install redis-server on Lenny

[Qijiang Fan]

Hello,
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=redis-server&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all
redis-server is only available in debian squeeze(testing) and sid(unstable).
Redis server is not availabel in debian lenny(stable)

If you really want to install redis-server.You can upgrade your debian to
tesing or unstable by changing "lenny" to "squeeze" or "sid" in your
sources.list(but debian security is not available for debian unstable(sid))

What's the machine that holds the 10.10.10.10 IP address? My bet is that it's 
some kind of router owned by your ISP; I don't know if located on your 
premises or those of your ISP.  Am I right?

If I don't recall wrongly, host2 is your routing one, sitting in between your 
internal network and your Internet connection.  Is this right?

>
> No.

That's a known server on Internet; the one hosting www.tldp.org and it does 
return pings.  That means that your routing host is unable to reach Internet.  
Is that true?  Are you sure your only defined interfaces on host2 are lo, 
eth0 and eth1 and that the only firewall rules applied were the ones I 
provided?

Is there any firewall on host1? Are you sure your only defined interfaces on 
host2 are lo eth0 and eth1 and that the only firewall rules applied were the 
ones I provided?  No ping but ssh ability smells strongly like a firewall 
problem, not one about routing.

Definetly there's some firewall-related problem hidden somewhere here.

Do you really mean "now masquerading" or "no masquerading"?  If the former, 
there should be no masquerading, if the latter, that was expected.  First I 
tried to diagnose the situation from a known config.  While it doesn't work 
as expected (and it still doesn't, I expected different answers for 3 and 4) 
is moot to move forward.

> > 7) Can you ping 152.46.7.81 from host1?

This was expected as this time.

If you are still working out this problem, can you please start a thread anew 
providing topology/IP address space again?  I already deleted these posts 
from my local spool and I'm having problems finding this thread on Debian's 
list servers.

Cheers.

Postfix SASL SMTP AUTH help, please. [re-post from comp.mail.misc]

[s. keeling]

[I asked this in cmm, but see no help there yet.  I'm trying to get this:

   
http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/smtpauth/smtp_auth_mailservers.html

working on Debian Lenny.]

  

Background:

I run fetchmail in a script wrapper called by my user crontab.
Changing the interval at which the cronjob runs to 10 min. instead of
every five minutes broke the implied "POP before SMTP" authorization.
Apparently, my ISP's SMTP times out PbS authorization fairly quickly.

I'd prefer to have SASL SMTP AUTH working instead of relying on PbS.
Essentially, this means placing my ISP username and password in
/etc/posfix/sasl_passwd:

   [smtp.nucleus.com]:366 keeling:XXX

then adding:

   smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
   smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
   smtp_sasl_security_options =

to /etc/postfix/main.cf, followed by:

   postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
   postfix reload

and (for the heck of it):

   /etc/init.d/postfix restart

It had no effect.  Changing the crontab fetchmail wrapper interval
back to 5 min. lets it work, but I'd rather smtpd not be dependent on
how often a user cronjob runs.  What am I missing, or how do I get
SASL SMTP AUTH working?  BTW, I'm trying to get this question to
postfix-users, but that's been somewhat difficult with a broken mail
system (though I am now gaining on it).

Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean by "instructions for invoking the old stack".
I plug in the USB drive as sdd1, I have an appropriate entry in fstab

/dev/sdd1   /q  ntfsrw,user,noauto  0   0

so I mount it as /q and can store files on it.

This tool recursively compares file names, mtimes, and sizes in two

Yes.  I can't keep the USB hard disk connected to the computer.  As soon
as it is connected the attempts to "enumerate USB device on port 2" keep
scrolling by as sequential addresses are tried.  When the highest
address (125?) fails it starts over at address 5 (there are four other
USB devices attached and working normally).

I entered fdisk -l while the scrolling continued and the three sata hard
drives were detected (the response interleaved in the scrolling) but the
USB drive was not detected.

Could you please provide instructions for invoking the old stack?  I
am thinking that this might provide a work-around for a flash recorder
which does not auto-mount.

The article

http://thefinancebuff.com/2009/06/ny-times-podcasts-without-itunes.html

reports that the xml feed for the science podcast is:

http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/podcasts/sciencetimes.xml

An easy way to get the podcast more or less automatically (you can use
chron) is to install the amazing Debian package hpodder.  The podcast can be
added with the command:

hpodder add
http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/podcasts/sciencetimes.xml

after which newly-available podcasts are obtained with the command:

hpodder

and are stored in the directory which you specified in the brief hpodder
configuration dialogue.

Let hpodder do the work for you.

In my experience, the risk is not "slight" but unbeareable for production 
environments.  Obviously, your mileage may vary.

> In return you would have incremental upgrades rather than the big 
> bangs of release changes.

Which it's by itself a big reason to stay with Stable (at least on my book): I 
can program a window in which things can break, specially when I have a whole 
year to produce it but I can't take the risk of things breaking at unexpected 
times and, please, note that a single package breaking due to a version 
upgrade is just one of the situations:
* a new package changes the way it's configured
* a package contains an unseen bug by itself (this and the previous are the 
obvious ones)
* a package's new functionality conflicts with another installed package, 
either from Debian repos or not.
* a package's new functionality conflicts with a subsystem in another, remote 
system.

All of these is what makes me already testing "Testing" environments on some 
virtual machines but only upgrading production ones not only once Squeeze 
becomes the new Stable, but some time after that, when the waters calm down a 
bit, I had the time to study the release notes, testing some more about the 
interaction problems between systems in order to produce an upgrade calendar 
and find the proper time-windows to do it...  without being "surprised" the 
very day Squeeze becomes Stable nor risking losing some security updates in 
the meanwhile.

Cheers.

Just for testing purposes... what happens if you disconnect the USB cable 
of the UPS unit from the computer and boot up the system afterwards? Are 
you getting the same warnings when plugin the USB hard disk and still 
fails to be detected with "fdisk -l"?

The probelm is one can try as per the guide I posted.

http://linux.koolsolutions.com/2009/04/24/howto-resolve-x-server-video-driver-errorscrashes-in-debian-linux/

I tried  $X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

That didn't work. All I get is a blank screen. Then I ave to
physically shut off the machine/system.

This will come when Xserver boots up and shows up stuff. What I'm
getting all the time is a blank screen.

This is not good.

Hey, that's good! :-)

As per display resolution... let's see what can be done. In brief: you 
are using the radeon driver and have 2 monitors attached to the card. 
With no "xorg.conf" your system is happier but your display uses a lower 
resolution, okay... I need additional clarification in some points:

- What is the setup you want? Dual screen in clone mode or xinerama mode? 
Only one screen enabled and the other disabled (off)?

- What says your "/var/log/xorg.0.log" now? I mean "complete", you can 
upload the full log to any pastebin site.

I also recommend reading this Debian wiki page:

Good... let's go with another approach for setting up the first sound 
device. Run "cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | grep options" and put 
here the output.

That is another reason I got into this thread.  To inform others of the

If, when I install from a new Debian CD, I have the same problem, I will 
submit a bug report.

"/etc/cups/lpoptions" only has one line ("Default ricoh"), which was 
automatically added after running the command. It doesn't have to have 
nothing more as I only run the command to set the default printer.

OTOH, this command should not be needed to run at all, all the operations 
can be done using CUPS web interface (when it works, of course). Take 
this command as an alternative or when you need to automate the task.

The cleaner install, the better. I usually have several virtual machines 
for that precise purpose, one VM for lenny, other with squeeze... just 
for testing software programs and different setups.

To 'listen' to a podcast, I download them then use the vlc package.

If there is a way to 'View & listen' I have not found it, yet.

Mmm, no, I don't think so. Or at least I didn't get in that way.

What I understand from the man page is that those files need to be

The working Test-squeeze has the same as yours, but, The lpoptions

even when cups was working.

The Non-working squeeze is missing the lpoptions file. I have

This works on the testing squeeze but not on the other.


As this thread was about, yet another cups problem, and I had not
remembered running lpoptions before I decided to see if it would/could
assist me in solving problem.


Ah, I remember that thread:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/11/msg01405.html

If you are still facing the same problem and provided you removed/
reinstalled the package and nothing changed, I would open a bug report.


I don't believe it is a Debian bug.  Something on the 3 partitions 
installed by the system installers is affecting those partitions. Each 
of them have this cups problem as well as:


2.Root login on startup comes up with a flag set that causes the root 
passwd and ssh passwd to be shown on the screen.  If after logging in 
Ctrl C is entered, a relogin restores normal root behavior.


3. Kernel package (make-kpkg) does not run on any of those partitions.

I plan on deleting the offending partitions and installing, from CD,
the new stable on two partitions then upgrade one to Sid.

As mentioned before the installers were used to installing RedHat.  I 
think they left something, which I have not been able to find, somewhere
on each partition that caused these problems.  Something that is normal 
for RH but not Debian.

Re: itune podcasts on a debian system?

[shawn wilson]

>
> What must I install to listen to the science podcast?

the issue isn't generally 'what' to use to listen to podcasts (most
media players support playing sound from uri) the problem is finding
the rss feed. this is quite intuitive with itunes - they have a huge
database to search from. i never realized this was an issue until i
switched to android (dogcatcher is 100x better than itunes but they
still don't have the extensive db of feeds that itunes has). however,
getting a feed aggregator program (like rhythmbox or possibly even
google's rss might work for you) and searching ' podcast rss'
will get you results. however, with this search you'll find tons of
people that offer things to listen to and you'll have to then search
their site to figure out if they've got an rss feed for you. trust me,
in order to really find enjoyment with podcasts, you'll want a program
that can take the rss feeds, look for the media, download, and catalog
it for you to listen to when you're ready.

all that said (though i don't use rhythmbox - i prefer my podcasts to
be portable) i would go with andrew's suggestion of rhythmbox and
search podcastdirectory for things you like.

i think i can easily do a doggcatcher backup and come up with the rss
uri's for you that i listen to / watch if you like (generally science,
computer security, news) which may save you some time once you find a
decent aggregator program.

The device is detected, that is the led on the device flashes repeatedly
as the system tries to assign a device number and fails.

Very interesting.  The older system finds only ehci entries in dmesg.
The newer system finds both ohci and echi entries and, more
importantly, issues a warning that ohci controller is being loaded
before the ehci controller.  I don't know how to change this.  I checked
/etc/udev but found no rules regarding usb controllers.

Here is the dmesg output for the newer system:

No you don't!


Humor me, I'v lived in a cave listening to classical music on vinyl for

I have no ipad/pod/whatever.  


What must I install to listen to the science podcast?



Just when I was about to go to bed, you brought this interesting little 
problem for me to work through.



I found some download links for you


http://www.podcastdirectory.com/podcasts/archive.php?iid=15159


Most episodes have a direct download link, here are some of them from 
that page:


long link (with redirect)
http://dts.podtrac.nytimes.com/redirect.mp3/podcasts.nytimes.com/podcasts/2010/12/13/14science.mp3

... three are more there for you to find ;-)


The following were found by right clicking on the "Listen" links (where 
the download link wasn't showing), they opened in new tabs and I was 
able to find the direct download links:


http://podcasts.nytimes.com/podcasts/2008/03/03/04scienceupdate.mp3

http://podcasts.nytimes.com/podcasts/2008/02/04/05scienceupdate.mp3

There are more like those there too .

There are plenty of MP3 capable players in Linux, you don't need iTunes, 
but it does make it harder to "collect" episodes without a feed link.


Actually there is an RSS feed link too, I'll let you discover how to use 
that, but the feed doesn't show all history, just the more recent mp3 files.


http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/podcasts/scienceupdate.xml


And look what else I found:

http://feeds.nytimes.com/nyt/rss/Science

That gives feeds for all the programs.


I would be interested in a "better" iTunes answer for Linux as would my 
son and so many other people I'm sure.  But I think the last and fuller 
xml feed file will be useful with a media player in Linux that can take 
feeds.

Lastest science podcasts are available in mp3 format:

They should load automatically in your default media player. Dunno why NYT

Oh! It is awesome! - I have removed the conf file and now not only my
keyboard works perfectly, but 3D acceleration has become much more
faster! - So, it was a very good idea to use not my X conf. But! - as I
have two monitors - it suggests the lower resolution - that is latter
is not used at all (I prefer a bigger one. :) What to do here?

Oh! 2 of 3 problems have solved!

Wow, what kind of extraterrestrial keyboard do you own? (just kidding) X-)

Then try with the KDE GUI tool, it should be available under "user 
settings & preferences / keyboard and mouse" or something similar. KDE 
keyboard module is very complete.

They don't. But that might be due to misalignment of the RAID and/or
LVM. At least mdadm complains when re-adding the drives after
repartitioning:

jigsaw kernel: [309626.806978] md0: Warning: Device sdd1 is misaligned

I am not sure what exactly is misaligned here. I don't think it's the partition
anymore, since parted like the new layout. At least it doesn't complain.

I do not use KPackage but if you are looking menu for "installed

select packafges to be installed.

Some installation CDs have a menu option which offers to verify the CD
prior to installation. It might be worth investigating what technique
they use and adapting it for your purpose.

You mean the USB hard disk is working properly but logs that output or 
you get the errors and the disk is not detected at all?

You can make a quick test: run " dmesg | grep [euo]hci" in both computers to 
check what USB module is in charge of the disk. There are some devices that 
play better with old "[uo]hci" stack and have problems when using the new one.

Ah, I remember that thread:

If you are still facing the same problem and provided you removed/
reinstalled the package and nothing changed, I would open a bug report.

Yes, the possibility that my memory had failed me occurred to me after I had 
posted.  Given the state of my memory these days, anything is possible. :-(

I haven't altered the pinnings.  I'm still not confident enough to do that.

The way I see it, you've got a few choices:
1. Compare ls -lR which won't catch burn issues. But pretty quick.
2. dd the cd and diff or checksum that.
3. Copy the files back to disk and run the checksum there (possibly quicker
because the disk shouldn't have time to slow down).
4. The way you're doing it :)

I don't think there are any other options. Though, I'd question your motives
here. If you're thinking cheap backup I wouldn't recommend it over tape or
just buying tons of the cheapest ($/gig) hdd you can find.

My prefs for setting keyboard/mouse (in squeeze/sid):

1/ KDE (GUI tool)
2/ "/etc/default/keyboard"

Don't waste CPU time on MD5.  Don't waste CPU time performing filesystem 
operations.  Compare the two images byte-by-byte using something like diff.

What takes the most time though is the I/O.  You could use statistical 
techniques to reduce the amount of I/O you perform at the cost of some 
accuracy.  However, you are probably better off reducing I/O time by getting 
faster drives, particularly the optical drive.

Hi, my guess is that there is none (or a faster hash algorithm) unless you use
a programs that first detects different file sizes and calculates the hash
only if the file names and size match. Of course, this does not speed up
things if the data on both trees are equal. I personally use fdupes for this
purpose.

But in your case I'd calculate the hash from the ISO image file and the DVD
device so there's no overhead from travelling the directory tree(s).

Where I can see all the available keyboard layouts, models - to

Is correct to suppose that I better have to set it in etc-default than

compare two directory trees

[Yuwen Dai]

Dear all,

I burn DVD/CDs from ISO files.  In order to verify the burning is correct,
I wrote a script working like this:
1. mount the DVD and ISO files onto two mount points
2. calculate every file's md5sum in each directory, and save and sort them
in two separate files
3. compare the above two files.

The above method does work, but too time consuming because of the md5sum
calculating.  Do you have any suggestion to improve the efficiency?

Best regards,
Yuwen
