And it also is quite buggy on much flash content (e.g. audio stuttering
problem). I ended up installing the 32 bit version and it seems to be
the less-awful one (as much as flash can be non-alwful).

You could/should upgrade to Debian Stable (Squeeze) and then get the
current sudo.  Lenny is now the old stable.

I have had this happen to me, as well.  Even more odd... We have three

Usually, the reversed Caps Lock led is only on ONE of these X sessions. 
 The other two will properly match the LEDs.  The only way that I have 
found to get the LEDs to be correct for all three logins is to power

If the OP chose not to "allow login as root", sudo'll have been
configured as you describe and becoming root with "sudo -i" or "sudo
-s" will be done with the user's password so it's a pseudo root
password. :)

But mDNS is not DNS reached in multicast, it is a totally differnt

You can still use an 'xorg.conf' file. You can put in the stanzas that you want 
to 
use, ie 'Section Device', which is where the driver goes. Not sure if this 
is 'best practices' but works here.  

It could be that your card is correctly auto detected, correct driver tried and 
failed to load. Read the log file to see why. '/var/log/Xorg.0.log'

 I have an old ATI card that is no longer supported by the current X stuff, use 
Vesa..which is a good driver these days for my laptop.

Here  is mine.

Section "Device"
Identifier  "NVIDIA CARD 1"
Driver  "nvidia"
BusID   "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier  "NVIDIA CARD 2"
Driver  "nvidia"
BusID   "PCI:1:0:0"
Screen  1
EndSection

Probably not relevant, but: 
Some time ago, on the console, I noticed that the "windows key" would
turn the caps lock on and off (I think without turning on the led).  
Though I just tested this and didn't reproduce it.

That's not true.. certainly, sudo can be configured (and is by default in
Debian) to prompt for the requestor's password and not root's password. But the
root password for login and su remains unchanged, and those are the methods
Lloyd specified he attempted to use after install.

What do you mean ? - SYMLINK+="webcam%n" ? I tried that, didn't help.

The reactived source explains the use of regular expressions in node names:

KERNEL=="fd[0-9]*"

But SYMLINK+="webcam[1-2]*" produced bogus device nodes - unusable. I also 
tried the bracket expression without the wildcard. It looks like udev no 
longer works this way?

One more source [1] explained udev rules with identical usb devices like this:

SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", KERNELS=="1-1", \ 
SYMLINK+="webcam1"
SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", KERNELS=="1-2", \ 
SYMLINK+="webcam2"

I changed the usb path to my needs, but this syntax is no longer working?

I tried to force GROUP="video" but didn't help.

Anymore ideas? Should I change the level to sth higher than 10-.rule?

Is it worth filing a bug report against udev?

How to tell X to use a specific video driver

[Tech Geek]

In Debian Lenny, X server use to correctly load the video driver
(mach64_drv.so) for my VGA card:
debian:~# lspci -v | grep VGA
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility
P/M (rev 64) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

After upgrading to Squeeze, X server defaults to vesa driver
(vesa_drv.so) isntead, in spite of knowing that ati driver is the
correct driver for this card:
debian:~# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep driver
X.Org XInput driver : 7.0
(==) Matched ati as autoconfigured driver 0
(==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 1
(==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 2
(==) Assigned the driver to the xf86ConfigLayout
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vesa_drv.so
(II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa
debian:~#

So how do I tell X to load the ati driver? Explicitly specify it in
xorg.conf file? Currently, I there is no such file in /etc/X11
directory.

Áruházat nyitok Önnek az Interneten

[tollrol]

Tisztelettel üdvözlöm,

Tollas Roland, elsős egyetemista vagyok, zsebpénz-kiegészítéseként Internetes 
Áruházakat készítek, hogy az Interneten saját áruháza
legyen annak aki ezt igényli és saját maga kezelhesse. Igy az árucikkekhez 
amiket ön most az üzletében árusít, egész Magyarország
hozzáférhet.


Profiknál egy Internetes Áruház 80-100 ezer forintba kerül, nálam 
havidíj-mentes egyszeri költségként 15 ezerbe illetve egy extrább tipus 20
ezerbe - főleg azért, mert szerencsére nem ebből kell megélnem, hiszen Suliba 
járok és szüleim ellátnak. Jelenleg 10 féle Webáruház
közül lehet nálam választani. Ha bármelyik megtetszik, azonnal áthelyezhető az 
Ön tárhelyére és azonnal müködőképes. (Amennyiben nincs
tárhelye tudok olcsót ajánlani, amelyről jó tapasztalataim vannak.) A 
megrendelő a logóját és az általa választott képeket, szövegeket
(egyszerű szövegszerkesztővel) beillesztheti a kiválasztott tipusba, a 
választott webáruház-tipushoz ugyanis igen részletes írásos
Használati Utasítást szoktam mellékelni. Garanciát 2 évre vállalok.

Amit ajánlok, az egy "WEBÁRUHÁZ 1 HÉTEN BELÜL" elnevezésű akció. Lényege, hogy 
a LENTI WEBÁRUHÁZAK EGYIKÉNEK KIVÁLASZTÁSA UTÁN PÁR

WEBÁRÚHÁZ MÁR ELADÓKÉPES az Ön által megjelölt
tárhelyen. Tisztelettel kérem, hogy másféle megrendeléssel jelenleg ne is 
jelentkezzenek, mert sokan igénylik ezt a pár napos (egy hetes)
akciós webáruházat és sajnos semmi másra nem jut időm mostanában. A gyakorlás 
tapasztalatait egy általam kezdeményezett hosszabb
telefonhívás erejéig meg szoktuk beszélni, utána az áruházat véglegesítjük, és

simulate sudo -n in lenny

[Felix Dorner]

Hi,

I was searching for a way to tell sudo "Please fail immediately if you
need to ask me for a password" and found sudo -n. Unfortunately it
turns out that debian lenny ships with an older sudo which doesn't
have this option. I wonder if there's a trick and tried:

echo "" | sudo -S -u username command

This seems to work. But I still wanted to ask for comments here.

Thanks,
Felix

I have / and /home as LVM volumes.  I don't have each volume encrypted

I spent yesterday about two hours on trying and investigating, and then 
on googling.  My /etc/apt/sources.list was perfectly OK. However, 
executing

'apt-get install -t squeeze-backports [package_name]'

where [package_name] changed to every single package name listed on 
http://mozilla.debian.net, was repeatedly returning "Unable to locate 
package [package_name]'.

I get frustrated, made my post here and left the problem as it was. A 
couple of hours later, while being in terminal and doing something else, 
I tried once again

'apt-get install -t squeeze-backports iceweasel-release

and all at a sudden get the iceweasel 5.0 found, downloaded, and 
installed.

What it was?  It could be some backports server problem, packages not 
uploaded timely, or some discrepancy between backporst and http://
mozilla.debian.net servers, whatever else.  Who knows?..

Switching back to Iceweasel 3.5?..  It's not only add-ons.  Once you try 
versions 4 and 5 you'd never want 3.5 back. Ver. 4, and 5 ever more, are 
amazingly fast, leaving way back all predecessors and Google Chrome 
(which I do not like anyway).

Well, for know I'm fine. However the experience makes me wonder if I'd 
like to depend on http://mozilla.debian.net.  But then the only 
alternative would be to start using Firefox itself. This would be a pity.

Thanks to all replied.

Apologies.  I had the same problem you had (USB drive would not mount
automatically for ordinary users), and learned (from help here) that
consolekit was to blame.  But now, even with the earlier consolekit,
I'm having the same problem again.  I tried upgrading consolekit and
found that permissions were even worse (clicking the off/on button in
X did NOTHING instead of giving me the restart menu), but evidently
the permissions problem has spread.  Now I'm not sure where to look
for it.

Well, I see -from time to time- a similar behaviour with caps lock. They 
are reversed (→ caps lock "on" gives lower case and caps lock "off" 
produces uppercase) when running OpenOffice and only after restarting my 
user session -relogin- is back to normal :-?

Hi,

I have recently installed Squeeze AMD-64 on my new Phenom box. Generally very

I recall reading somewhere (here, probably) that there are compatibility issues in a 64-bit environment, but since I've had genuine firefox, with 
genuine shockwave running on my Ubuntu AMD64 laptop working quite satisfactorily, I have been ignoring that.


Any suggestions as to what to do, please?

I can confirm Peter's suggestion: cups-pdf virtual printer can do that

Yes, you can install Adobe Flash player plugin from either Debian's non-
free repo or Adobe's site.

Caveat: 64-bits Adobe Flash is plenty of security bugs :-/

Hm, that's probably hard to fix.  When I switch from X11 to a console,
the LED stays on and goes off when I switch back.  NumLock remains
active, though.  If you don't need CapsLock, you can put something else
on the key, like Control.

Okay, thanks for the logs.

I don't see nothing wrong at Xorg logs nor in dmesg, beyond these lines:

***
[   15.624273] [drm:edid_is_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder 
is 3
[   15.624280] [drm:edid_is_valid] *ERROR* Raw EDID:

But I don't think they're relevant enough to prevent the video signal output.

I would fisrt try by disabling KMS by passing "nomodeset" at kernel boot 
line.

Dear Juan,

I have tried your suggestion. I installed the the proprietary driver
again. It worked but there was a kernel bug, so I uninstalled it and
installed only the opensource driver, following your 2 links. Hope
that my desktop won't freeze again

Thank you,

Mmm... Totem (and totem-gstreamer) for lenny is 2.22 while for wheezy is 
2.30. And gstreamer packages are also of different versions (lenny's are

There isn't anything "loaded" about it, it's merely my experience.  I
probably don't have the correspondence anymore because it was long ago,
and IIRC it involved having to use a web form they had because I
couldn't send them mail, so at least that part of the conversation won't

My point remains.  It doesn't matter whether I mentioned to have changed

You've made your decision about what people should do and what mail to
accept.  Apparently you created and use the table to efficiently have
your decision applied by software. That is your decision, not mine.  If
I was using your mail server, you would be the one to decide what mail I
can receive and what not.  If I was using your table with my MTA to
block mail, you would be the one to decide what mail I want to receive
and what not.

They are merely examples for cases in which the decision of what mail I
want or can receive would be made by someone else.  There's no need to
look at the file for that.

You're making lots of assumptions and judgements without having the
necessary facts, and you're seeing only what you want to see.
Pretending that everyone who doesn't have the same opinion you have is
a paranoid troll and doesn't have a clue what they're talking about

Thunderbolt spec is capable of 100 Gbit/s (bi-directionally) and todays 
implementation (copper based circuits that can seep up to 10 Gbit/s) can 
compete with PCie v2 (x8). Also, photonic -fiber- has additional

Why not run blkid and if you find the "right" device by it's UUID, then

Another way that works well is to give the disk a label.

the fstab can then refer to it by label :

LABEL=backup /mnt/backup ext3 noauto,users 0 0

you can then simply grep the mount command with no arguments to see if it's 
there and mount it if not:

if ! mount | grep -q ${BACKDIR}
then
mount ${BACKDIR}
fi

I don't like having installed additional software for something I use 
sporadically and joining PDF's is not on my day to day agenda: "gs" does 
the job quite well and is very powerful :-)

Should I have to do this on an every day basis, I would consider another 
options, like PDFEdit which is more in the line of Adobe Acrobat.

mounting USB disk

[Tony van der Hoff]

Runnung Squeeze here. I have a script which runs nightly, to backup 
certain directories to a USB disk, which does a fine job, provided the 
disk is mounted.


However, just plugging it in doesn't mount it, I need to actually open 
it with Dolphin. It gets unmounted with each logout, so the script fails.


I've been looking at ways of getting the script (which runs with root 
privs) to mount the disk, but have failed.


Can anyone make any suggestions as to how to go about it, please?

NAT-like "security" may be enabled with 2 rules on the router/firewall
ISPs send to their customers.

ip6tables -A INPUT -i wan -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
ip6tables -A INPUT -i wan -j DROP

Actually you need to accept some icmpv6 packets, then we need another
rule ;)

If ISPs sent their modem/box/router/whatever properly configured
(default configuration disallowing incoming connections), there is no
more security issues than with the ipv4/NAT setup.

Ah, yes I did misread what you were suggesting. For my current setup my way 
works for me, your way works for you. My setup at home is also very similar to 
that of a number of companies I work for, which is handy for experimentation 
(say, look at how IPv6 might integrate with and eventually replace the IPv4 
infrastructure) ;-)

I'm still going to disagree with you on this point - user's expect to be able 
to plug in a machine and it "just work" without faffing around with setting 
IP/Subnet/Gateway/DNS/local domain settings (or getting the "network monkeys" 
to do it for them). I also worked for a company which had static addresses and 
the amount of time changing the settings on every single network connected 
device on the 2 occasions we had to change the router and/or DNS settings was 
measured in days - had we been using DHCP it would have been a 30s change to 
the config at the end of the day and the clients would most likely all be 
working next morning having renewed their leases and got the updated 
configuration at the same time. At lot of this depends on your (and mine!) 
users and environment.

I think, from what I've read, this goes away with IPv6 whereby even if I 
statically configure the interfaces address it will still use the 
route-discovery to "find" the router and DNS server so infrastructure changes 
are picked up automatically (after a period of time) without the need to change 
every connected hosts settings (as was the case with a static IPv4 setup).

I think we're talking at cross purposes here. I am specifically referring to 
stateless auto-configuration which the current most common convention, for 
IPv6, is to use the MAC address for the but this is not guaranteed and I have 
specific references to other methods being used whereby a given NIC does not 
always auto-configure to the same address each time it is connected to the same 
network.

Again I think we're talking cross purposes. My interest is purely in how IPv6 
will operate within a private network. Assuming my ISP allocated me a range of 
addresses how I go about managing that range within the networks which exist in 
my house (or an organisation). In terms of a smallish network I'm repeatedly

Shrinking encrypted LVM partition

[Aidan Gauland]

Hello everyone,

I have to make room on my hard drive for another operating system on my
hard disk.  I currently have /boot on sda1, encrypted LVM on sda5
(which, I think, an extended partition); this was set up by the
installer.  I just want to install the other OS on a primary partition,
instead of trying to get it set up with LVM.  What is the easiest way to
rearrange my disk to make room for a primary partition?  As far as I
know, it is not possible to resize a partition encrypted with the method
used by Debian, so I will have to backup the data on the LVM partition,
shrink sda5, and then reformat it and restore the LVM logical volumes.

I'm hoping there is a simpler way.  Is there?

Regards,
Aidan Gauland

to keep using version 5.0 you just need to replace

with

deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports iceweasel-release

in your /etc/apt/sources.list

I can think of a number of large networks that don't run internal DNS
servers - dynamic addresses are a pain to manage on a large scale, and
static addresses make DNS servers redundant on most private networks.

A static address assigned by MAC is the same process whether by IPv4,5,

I believe you've misinterpreted the context their. None of your concerns

It's your network - you can make it as complicated as you want. But if
you have a compelling reason to use DHCP to hand out dynamic addresses
I've missed it. A central hosts file and static addresses make the
question redundant.

Yes, but that can be a huge negative too.  Any machine that can be

for your network.

Firewalling, ala IPCop's port forwarding setup.

That is, we have a firewall in IPCop (or similar) and outside access to 
ANY internal machine is still restricted by what is port forwarded?  If 
yes, then I am sure that would be fine.  But if it is no, then I can see 
some potentially huge vulnerabilities opening up for those using IPv6.


Some services belong in a DMZ, but even then you have to be concerned 
with what risk ANY compromised service can bring to other services / 
machines in the DMZ.



Many using 3G USB modems are opening themselves up to abuse if (by 
default) having their machines directly connected to the Internet.  Any 
machine that is directly accessible via the Internet _must_ have 
suitable security, ie a restrictive firewall at least.  I can just 
imagine all the Windows laptops (well, not just Windows, but hey), 
becoming owned just because they are using a 3G USB modem directly on 
their machine without a firewall -- this will be amplified for those on 
ANY network that has open slather via IPv6 addressing.

I don't know what your needs are. But when properly configured your
Netgear (model unknown) should do the job.

Stateful packet inspection (carefully maintained and kept updated),
segmented network, careful port forwarding and pinholes, separate
valuables, keep backups offsite, consider convenience as evil...

To paraphrase Bruce Schneier - security is not something you can buy,
it's something you must get (it's an ongoing process and approach, not a
product)

Best advice I can give is don't put anything on a router/firewall that
isn't absolutely necessary - minimises things that can go wrong and what
needs to be maintained. If you have a look at the debian-firewall list
you'll see what is lacking (for me) in IPCop.

It's a contentious subject and there probably isn't a "right" answer.

You can buy a Smoothwall device - if you're comfortable trusting a

And how can I know a good one from a bad one?

Your heart will tell you... ;-p

Too subjective to answer here, and I'm not adequately qualified.
IMHO IPCop and it's extensions embody most of the average needs of a
firewall/router - and it's not difficult to implement the same thing in
Debian - hard to briefly describe what you should and shouldn't look
for, there are plenty of alternatives to IPCop - but most lack the
flexibility, or ease of use by non-professionals.

I have temporarily switched my apt-sources to testing
I have upgraded gstreamer.*plugins.* to the version of Wheezy
Surprisingly Totem is of the same version as in Lenny

Same result, video is out of sync, many video frames are dropped, audio
is not audible or very bad.

Rolled gstreamer.*plugins.* back to Squeeze

(b)
I have just built my custom Totem from sources, compiled against stable
Debian/Squeeze libgstreamer.*-dev libs
I left out some pluggins, UI is a bit faster.

Same result, video is out of sync, many video frames are dropped, audio is not 
audible or very bad.

(c)
I have filed a bug at GNOME Bugzilla
Bug 654383 - No playback of DVDs in Totem Debian / Squeeze

*Privacy* extensions, not security. AFAIK, privacy extensions just
provide options for SLAAC to create extra IPv6 addresses not based on
the MAC address and use them as default source address for outgoing
communications. The IPv6 address based on the MAC address still exists
and is usable for incoming - and outgoing - connections.

DHCP isn't reliable either. The device could have been unplugged at any
time since the last lease.

If I understand the question correctly - cups-pdf can do that. After
installing cups-pdf you can change the PDF-printer settings defaults to
print 2 pages on one (Settings - Job Options - Pages per side). 
After printing you'll find the output in ~/PDF

Re: postgres fails to start

[Jude DaShiell]

If each slave is on its own drive, the problem slave may be on a 
corrupted drive.  If the corruption happens in the right place on that 
drive that would probably explain your difficulty.

Re: hearse configuration problem

[Jude DaShiell]

Actually, I tried purging nethack-common one time in the latest interation 
and it asked if I wanted to remove nethack-console and hearse and I chose 
to allow the additional files to be removed.  The system hard drive is 
probably questionable over here ata errors on boot up and random times 
afterwards so maybe is connected to this problem.  On Tue, 12 Jul 2011,

My installation order was to install nethack-console which brought in 
nethack-common then I installed hearse.  I will try installing hearse on 
its own and allow dependencies to be installed and see what happens with 
that installation next.  After that, I install debian on a different drive 
and go from there.
