 right now I am looking at how to forward all the audit messages to a seperate

 Oct  7 11:45:18 hufpuf kernel: audit(1191721518.548:757): avc:  denied  {

 scontext=user_u:system_r:spamd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 
 tclass=dir
 
 is an example output in syslog and it looks like its the kernel that is 
 sending 
 the message, but I would like only my selinux audit lines to go into the 
 audit.log log 

for the record, looks  like auditd  is the packages to install

  Hi Alex,
 
  there is a bug in the binary part of NVIDIA-drivers version
  100.14.11 and 100.14.19. Try to switch back to 100.14.09, this is
  working with no problems.

 I can find the relative deb files any more in the repositories do
 you have them ?
   
found them (and it seems like all the other packages removed from the
repos at snapshot.debian.net)
   
for any one else
http://hikaru.fsij.org/archive/2007/06/20/debian/pool/non-free/n/nvid
   ia-graphics-drivers/
  
   Okay, I have had to down grade all the nvidia packages and also the
   xserver packages, only looked at the xorg package before.  Will test
   and see if that fixes it!
 
  ran it for 24 hours and its a lot more stable, infact I was going to
  report back that, that had fixed it, but again trying to do something
  with eclipse - open a dialog box and it froze up..
 
 
  i found this at the end of my xorg.log file
  SetGrabKeysState - disabled
  SetGrabKeysState - enabled
  and subsequently found this
 
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2005/11/msg00161.html
 
  which I am going to try

 This hasn't helped, I am still getting lock ups, not just limited to
 eclipse and I am on 100.14.09...

  The freeze is appearing at 64-bit systems and mostly Nvidia 7300
  cards. Just take a look at the bugreports and the discussions at
  the nvidia homepage.
 
  Regards
 
  Hans

Hi Alex,
sorry to answer so late. I was busy.

Anyway, I suggest, to find out, which application is responsible for the 
freeze.

IMO this could be:

1. The running kernel version
2. the kernel-module (i.e. nvidia-kernel)
3. nvidia-glx
4. eclipse itself
5. xorg

So you have to exchange one after the other to find out, what is responsible 
for it and then write a bugreport.

If you do not need 3d-acceleration, try driver nv in xorg.conf.
If that works, try a higher xorg-version. Try another eclipse-version. 

You know what I mean.

I hope, this will help a little bit, although I fear not too much.

Good luck !

Hans

well I spent the last hour looking at different things, my test was to open 
eclipse and do a team update on the project - this would usually lock the 
screen, sometimes I would get ctrl+alt+f1 access, this would allow me to kill 
xfwm4, which would free up X - tried killing everything else, but it would not 
release the keyboard..

i have just upgraded [UPGRADE] xfwm4 4.4.1-2+b1 - 4.4.1-3 and that seems to be 
working now (same test - wasn't ever able to complete )

fingers crossed, will try it out for 24 hours and see what happens

Which dhcp-version ???

2007-10-09 Thread Hans-J. Ullrich
Dear maintainers,

I wondered , which is the default version of dhclient is been installed by the 
debian installation process. I saw several different versions nd my last 
fresh installation is a long time ago (yes, Debian is running and running and 
running...). :) Well, at a fresh installation I use tasksel, which does not 
really show, what happens ( --task-desc does not work).

Can you tell me, which is the state-of-the-art-version is used in debian 
today? dhcpd ? dhcp-client ? dhcp3-client ?

Thanks for your answers !

 Hi Leo !
 This was a fast answer. :)
:-)

 Well, what I really wanted to know, which dhcp-version I should use at
 using 1. debian/testing
 2. debian/sid

depends of your preferences (sources.list) files. If your configuration point 
to testing it would choose the testing version of the package, also the sid 
version.


 (these are both, I use).

 Which is the default ? I think, there are different behaviours at the
 versions. At the moment I use dhcp3-client, which seem to be the newest
 one. But is it also good for newbies ??? Are the older ones orphaned in the
 meantime ?

Hans, 

I trust a lot in the maintainers and debian in general. I think that that the 
version of the package is the minor of problems if you are using a 
dhcp-client in a common scenario.
In general, the stable (etch) version is maintained, not orphaned in the 
meantime. Remember the debian way of life:
- sid --- testing --- stable

Regards,

Leo

Re: Mobo Intel DG965WH with Lenny or etch?

2007-10-09 Thread Lennart Sorensen
On Sun, Oct 07, 2007 at 10:07:20AM -0500, Igor TAmara wrote:
 Hi, I have an Intel DG965WH, I tried to use etch netinst and lenny
 businesscard october 6 /2007, but both of them failed on the step of
 CD recognition, it has two SATA HD drives, the DVD is connected
 through IDE, the processor is an Intel core 2 Duo. It has 4 gigs of
 RAM
 
 The most annoying thing is that it boots really slow, it looks like
 slow motion, the menus of the installation shows line per line
 refreshing, like a 133mhz or worst.
 
 Have anyone succesfully used this hardware? Any hints on booting the
 installation or maybe testing the hardware to see if something is
 broken?  Maybe software to test if everything is right?

How much ram do you have installed?

A number of BIOSes have very very serious bugs in their MTRR setup on
intel chipsets lately, and if you have more than 3GB of ram, some memory
may not be configured as cacheable, and since linux likes to use ram
from the top down you end up with the kernel in uncacheable ram and
hence very slow booting.  For many boards there are updated bioses to
fix this mistake, but if there isn't yet you can tell the kernel at the
boot command line that you have less ram than you actually have which
will make it go much faster (since the small bit of uncached ram will
not be used).  Since you have 4GB of ram this is quite likely your
problem.  So check that you have the very latest BIOS version.  You can
test for the problem by adding 'mem=3072M' or 2048M or whatever, and see
if it boots faster.  If it does you can then grab the /proc/mtrr output
as well as the dmesg output and post that to have someone check if the
bios is making a mistake.

A search on some forums seems to indicate that intel's 1705 bios does
not fix it, and that people are going back to version 1669 to get a bios
that does the right thing (who knows what it may break though).  There
is a 1707 that I haven't found any info on yet, so maybe there is a
small chance it fixes the problem.  Most other board makers have fixed
this error by now (Asus and Gigabyte certainly have), while the kernel
developers have had no luck what so ever convincing intel that they
screwed up big time.

There are attemps being made to make future kernels automatically
disable any uncached ram if such a case occours again.

AS for the DVD others seem to have pointed out that it uses an
unsupported controller that needs the newer kernel so you can't help
that with etch at all.

 I could use the mouse and from it get to the console and kill X. Then by

 looking at the output of dmesg I would get error messages about some

Dell Vostro 1700 sound problem

2007-10-09 Thread Joost Kraaijeveld
Hi,

I have a brand new Dell Vostro 1700 that works nicely with Debian Lenny
AMD64 latest version of everything.

It appears to do what it should do except the sound: I cannot get it to
make any sound (which it did under the factory installed Windows Vista).
Although I like it to be quite sometimes I really would like to hear my
MP3 collection with rather loud hardrock.

Is there anyone with a similar computer that actually has sound? Anyone
any suggestion of how to get te sound working? 


TIA
