Re: In woody wdm garbles list of window managers, shows only a few

Bugzilla on Sarge is very slow
Hi I just upgraded my Debian install from Woody to Sarge. I am just running Bugzilla on this computer, but since the upgrade bugzilla is deathly slow. It takes 5 or more seconds to open any cgi page. Does any know if the likely cause is the move from Bugzilla 1.14.2 to 1.16.3 or is it Perl moving from 5.6 to 5.8 or is there some other possibility that could be causeing this slow down? Any suggestions on how to improve speed would be welcomed (I have cut the system down to bare bones, no X and only apache and sshd running) Thanks Ivan -- ,###' *##/ Ivan Wills ,*##' Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] .*##) ,###' l##* ,. __ _. _ .*##' /%# ;*##*_*###*#' .*#\ ./###&;. /##* /##' ,#*' '#*' '#* *%## *#*" '*##* *##. .##' .*#/ |#*# &# ##o#''#*#, ,##**##__*#* .#*, ,#*_*# *##' '*#|; *##'`*###*' '###*'##*' ,##'\#*. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Brad, I recently (within the last week) made the same switch, not because I had to use outlook, but because I needed to add imap to the network, for our new road-warriors. Anyway: the curent setup: - Mail is still filtered (to files in ~/mail or ~/nsmail, depending on user pref) by procmail - I created an imap account in evolution. Using this account, I subscribed to a number of folders, the files in which the mail is filtered. That's all there was to it, as far as I remember. One minor problem: with the 'send/receive' option, all of my mail arrives in a seperate folder. (Evolution 1.0.5) There is a pop box on a remote server involved that I'd like to be filtered to a seperate folder. Haven't yet figured out a way to do this, but I think that's where evolutions own folders come in.. (Or I could kludge up something using fetchmail..) TimT. (Apologies for the appended disclaimer.

OSS is one family of sound drivers. Alsa is another. Some people swear by one, some people by the other. OSS is still the standard sound driver in the Linux kernel, but that may change soon. Esd is a piece of software that allows several sound sources to be mixed together or sent over the network etc. However performance is pretty bad because of all the work that the cpu and the network must do.

With a dialup, it would be rather useful to be able to do this from the MTA
rather than the MUA. Unfortunately /usr/share/doc/exim/spec.txt.gz
contains no references to either gpg or pgp. Am I really out of luck

As I interpret that man page, exec without any additional letters is simply a generic term for the family of functions mentioned above. So one might loosely refer to "an exec" meaning whichever one of execl, execlp, etc is appropriate for the task in hand. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

In woody wdm garbles list of window managers, shows only a few
I am using wdm to login to X, but it shows only a few of the possible window managers. However, all of them are there: Line from /etc/X11/wdm/wdm-config: DisplayManager*wdmWm: afterstep:amiwm:asclassic:blackbox:default:enlightenment:fluxbox:flwm:fvwm2:fvwm95:gnome-session:gwm:icewm:icewm-lite:ion:kde2:larswm:lwm:metacity:olvwm-x-window-manager:olwm-x-window-manager:pwm:qvwm:ratpoison:sapphire:sawfish:twm:uwm:wm2:wm2:wmaker:xfwm When the dropdown menu slides, it makes a mess at the line corresponding to `icewm`. I suppose that in the configuration somewhat there is a limit to the number of window managers that can be displayed. I have no idea about how to fix it. Anyone knows how? So far, kdm seems to be the best in terms of options to login (window managers). The problem I had with it was that it consistently failed to present a few of the window managers.

Audio CD questions
Greetings list, Today, for the first time, I popped an audio CD in my laptop with the intention of listening to it (the CD player portion of my stero broke during my last move). I was very unhappy when gnome-cd and xmms both choked on it. It's an older CD so I can't imagine it is DRM'd, but nonetheless I would still like to play it (and a few others) on my computer. I did an apt-get cdda2wav and messed around with that some until I managed to get some tracks on the harddrive where I could play them with xmms, but I have a couple of problems. 1) I would like a GUI-type tool to facilitate putting the audio on my harddrive and 2) I can't figure out how to tell cdda2wav to make each track into a separate file when I try to grab the entire disc. Could someone point me in the right direction here? Also, what does everyone recommed for a preferred storage format (wav, mp3, ogg)? -Roberto Sanchez ___ Yahoo!

RAID module fun
Hi all, I am trying to perform a new Debian installation on a PC with an ASUS A7V8X mobo, using the onboard Promise 20376 (Fasttrak 133) SATA RAID controller. This is something that not a lot of people appear to have done, especially due to the lack of easily installable drivers... A very nice person at Promise technical support emailed me the source for a partial open source driver, which did not appear to be available on their website. Luckily I had another box around to compile the thing. I'm now in a place where I have the ft3xx.o on a floppy boot directory. The Readme specifies that scsi_mod.o has to be loaded first, so I built that as well, and stuck it on the floppy. Everything I built was against 2.4.18, as I want to install Debian using the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel. When I try to insmod scsi_mod.o at the start of the install, it fails due to the version conflict (it's the bf24 thing). So, I tried an insmod -f. For some reason, there were loads of unresolved symbols. Anyone have any ideas? I don't have the actual error log to hand - I was hoping that this scenario will ring a bell with someone. If people need to see the specific unresolved symbols (of which there looked like about 30), I can post them. Antony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This is exec(3) which documents the exec family calls. AFAIK there is no
POSIX exec() function. Please install the glibc-doc package which
includes the info pages of GNU libc. This documenation is far better
than the rudimentary man pages (if you know what you're doing the man
pages ARE better, but ...).

exec is a bash builtin. If you want to simulate it in C try this code:
/* always include the calling filename of the prog as
* 2nd parameter to execlp as it's evaluated as argv[0]
* in the resulting process
*/
execlp ("ps", "ps", "x", NULL);
/* if we are here, there was an error */
perror ("execlp failed");
exit (1);
This code snippet will lookup the PATH environment and search for the
"ps" executable. It will execute it and will pass "ps" as argv[0] and
"x" as argv[1]. It is equivalent to:
$ ps x

I don't think it's really relevant. I use both Debian kernel sources and make-kpkg, and it's not a problem for me. The problems building kernels with gcc3.3 were similar to the binutils a while back -- newer versions spat out bad code that earlier versions swallowed.

backporting Questions
Hello, I've been reading this list for months, over and over again I see that we (users) are discouraged from running mixed environments, many good reasons have been given for not running mixed environments. Often the alternative of backporting the application from testing or unstable has been provided as a solution. I have a number of questions about backporting. Please snip and don't top post in your responses (makes it more readable) 1) when you issue the command "apt-get -b build-dep" what exactly does the build-dep do, does it install dependencies from the branch your trying to install the package from? 1a) when it lists the files to be installed, what happens if they have dependencies, do you have to keep drilling down? 1b) is there a script out there to automate the drill down? 1c)do you end up with a system at testing or unstable by stealth, because it has recursively installed so many products? 2) will these dependency files overwrite existing files? 3) can you remove these dependant files after you've managed to install your package, as one email I found indicated? 4) if a package is very easy to backport, why isn't this done as part of the original build process? 5) In one email I saw this command " apt-get -b build-dep packagename/testing", this format didn't work for me as apt tried to find packagename/testing instead of packagename in the testing branch.

Probably either faulty hardware or some combination of faulty driver and specific hardware. If you search for "Attempted to kill the idle task" (note: "task", not "tesk") on Google, you'll see that it comes up in a lot of different contexts: faulty RAM, development kernels, lots of different hardware. If I were you, I'd try to install a 2.4.21 kernel and see if it goes away. Maybe some driver has been fixed (and there were lots of fixes in 2.4.21, some of my own pc's problems went away). If not, see if you can find info on your specific laptop model via Google or http://www.linux-laptop.net/ . Also, try to find out which hardware /exactly/ your laptop contains (contact your vendor or something) and try to find out if there's a known problem with a component. And tell the list which hardware you use, maybe someone can help. But these solutions are all hard things to do for a newbie. So maybe your best bet at the moment is to try to find someone near you who has good linux experience (maybe there is a Linux User Group near where you live). Also, you can try to install another Distribution, as most of them have newer software than woody. Try RedHat or Mandrake, or if you want to stay on the Debian path, try Libranet (commercial Debian variant with much newer software) or Knoppix (Debian variant, also with newer software. It runs from CD, so you can try it out without having to erase your current install) Good luck -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

These are programs that are mean to start at boot-up. The actual program/script is placed in /etc/init.d/.

Problems with Debian unstable, Linux 2.4.21 and Nvidia?
I had problems to compile the kernel module wrapper from nvidia drivers with gcc 3.3. Following steps should solve the problem: 1. Compile and run kernel 2.4.21 with gcc 3.3 (RTFM for details) 2. Extract nvidia source with NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run --extract-only 3. Open NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363/usr/src/nv/Makefile with your favourite editor 4. change the gcc-check section to gcc-check: exit 0;\ 5. Install the wrapper with make Step 4 solves the problem with the gcc version check. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(libgal's soname changes quite frequently, which means that packages depending on it need to keep up.) The version of gnome-utils in unstable no longer depends on libgal. It's stuck waiting for gnome-panel, which is waiting for gnome-session, which is waiting for a current version of glib2.0; I believe that glib2.0 should get into testing in four days, at which point the rest of that stack will pop its way through too. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I think, in general, it's best to stick with 2.95 compilers for the kernel. There are exceptions, but the easiest route is to use gcc-2.95 for compiling kernel source. You can do this by editing the kernel-source-2.4.20/Makefile and setting HOSTCC=gcc-2.95 and CC=$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc-2.95. If you have external modules you're building then you'll also want to add CC=gcc-2.95 to the environment. Like: CC=gcc-2.95 make-kpkg --revision foo.1 --bzimage kernel_image and then CC=gcc-2.95 make-kpkg --revision foo.1 --bzimage modules_image Gary -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
