Console/X transfer problems
I think I've seen this problem discussed before, but I don't know how I'd even query the archives on it. I'm on Debian stable, version 4.1.0.1 of xserver-xfree86, running a Trident Cyberblade i/1 video card and a generic monitor. Here's the problem: When I'm in X and switch out to a console (Ctrl-Alt-Fx) all is fine. When I switch from there back to X (Alt-F7), the screen is dark and after a few seconds, I lose video sync (you can tell because the lights on the monitor start blinking as through the monitor has no signal to it). I have to kill X in order to recover. I've tried the frequency ranges that the monitor's manual indicates. I've tried using the framebuffer interface. Etc. etc. It seems like I've heard of this problem before, but I don't recall the solution. Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

postgres date formatting?
I know this isn't the postgres user group, but if anyone has any
insight, I'd sure appreciate it.
Summary: attempting to use to_date on a table value results in a
to_timestamp error. What am I doing wrong?
I have a little database and want to prettyprint some dates on the web
interface.
In /etc/postgres/postgres.conf , I have the following set:
DATESTYLE = 'iso,european'
This is confirmed within psql:
ski=> show datestyle;
DateStyle
---
ISO with European conventions
(1 row)
I have a table with a column of type 'date'.
ski=> select starting from visits;
starting
2003-12-14
etc ...
Here's what to_date gets me:
ski=> select to_date (starting, 'DD Mon ') from visits ;
ERROR: to_timestamp(): bad value for MON/Mon/mon
Just for grins, I thought I'd try changing the datestyle:
ski=> set session datestyle = 'postgres,us';
SET
ski=> select starting from visits;
starting
12-14-2003
etc ...
But no matter what datestyle I use, I get that to_timestamp() error when
trying to prettyprint my table.
For the record, I can use to_date in the canonical example just fine:
ski=> select to_date('05 Dec 2000', 'DD Mon ');
to_date
2000-12-05

If you're feeling adventerous, the essence of it is: 1. Build 2.4.23 kernel package with make-kpkg in the usual way (or use the one in the debian archive if there is one there). 2. apt-get source linux-kernel-di and read its README for how to make it use your kernel package to generate udebs 3. apt-get source debian-installer and copy the udebs into its localudebs directory, read its README for instructions on building bootable images 4. Use debian-cd to generate a cdrom with the bootable image on it. I've not done this myself so I don't know how hard it is; probably the hard part, and will need bandwidth. 5. Write a better guide than the above based on your expereinces. We're aware of the SATA problems and will be updating the default kernel as soon as we can, but probably not before New Years. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

But the patch fails, see below. gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.23/include -Wall -Wstrict-prot otypes -Wno-trigraphs -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -O2 -fomit-frame-poin ter -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -Ilibfreeswan -Ilibdes -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=ipsec_init -c -o ipsec_init.o ipsec_init.c ipsec_init.c: In function `ipsec_init': ipsec_init.c:152: too few arguments to function `inet_add_protocol' ipsec_init.c:156: too few arguments to function `inet_add_protocol' ipsec_init.c: In function `ipsec_cleanup': ipsec_init.c:199: too few arguments to function `inet_del_protocol' ipsec_init.c:204: too few arguments to function `inet_del_protocol' Anyone know a fix for this?

Make sure that it's still being detected ok and that the connection is established properly. (if you see a "logged in" message you should be good.) Assuming that it was just a filesystem problem and not any sort of hardware problem, and assuming that all of your firewire stuff works ok, the first thing to do is make sure that sbp2 is creating the SCSI device properly and then to check the partition table on the HD. First do a 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' and make sure that it's showing up in there. If it is, do a 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' (assuming that it's at sda of course) and make sure the partition table is intact. If all of this comes up ok then you're in pretty good shape. Now just do a quick fsck on the drive and you're done. In case you're not sure how, just do 'fsck. /dev/sda'. So if you're using a reiserfs partition, it would be fsck.reiserfs. For ext3 it's fsck.ext3 and so on.

Err, does it mean that you want to install Debian over your previous RedHat? It's not a good idea. Anyway, 170Mb is not enough. At least Woody from CD uses debootstrap, which copies the basic package set into the target partition, and thus probably filling it up. Anyway, it would be better if you provide more information.

Hello, I'm new to Debian but I've been using Linux for nearly 8 years. I'm trying to install Debian on my IBM Thinkpad 701C (the butterfly keyboard laptop), which has a 75MHz 486, 16MB of RAM and a 360MB hard drive. It used to have RedHat 6.2 on it, but that was end-of-lifed, and subsequent releases couldn't be installed on such a meager machine. It has no CD so I have to use floppies. I made the testing boot, floppy and net_drivers floppies, and plan to do the main install over the net. I booted from the boot floppy and then inserted the 2nd floppy. That's when I started having problems. First, I got lots of lines saying: cp: Write Error: No space left on device Then it says Starting the installer, and then it tells me (infinitely): info: Trying to enable linux framebuffer using /lib/modules/...etc../vesafb.o modprobe: failed to load module vesafb I have to go into another console and run shutdown to get it to stop. I tried booting with video=vga16:off but that didn't help at all. I looked in the appropriate location, and vesafb.o really isn't there. I guess the root of the problem is that the installer can't copy some files it needs (thus the cp errors) but I don't see why not. df tells me that shm is 6.9M in size and has 4.6M free. /etc/mtab shows rootfs, but it doesn't show up when I do df (?). I cleared off 170 MB on the disk before I started, so I don't think that's a problem. Can anyone help me, please? -- Stuart Luppescu -=- s-luppescu .at. uchicago.edu University of Chicago -=- CCSR $B:MJ8$HCRF`H~$NIc(B-=- Kernel 2.4.23-ck1 Don't hate yourself in the morning -- sleep till noon. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Mozilla-Firebird segfaults with java
I've been using java (j2re1.4.2_01) for some time without problems on mozilla-firebird 0.7. Today it crashed repeatedly when accessing a particular site (the Telegraph newspaper web page) and finally it became impossible to run firebird at all. I reinstalled it; no luck. I therefore fetched the tarball and unpacked that in /usr/local. After much messing about I found that the basic problem was the link to the java library libjavaplugin.oji.so. I therefore fetched the most recent version of java (03) and tried that, but the results were the same. If there is a link to either the ns610 or the ns610-gcc32 version of the library, firebird refuses to run. Has anyone seen anything similar? I can't understand why the problem has appeared suddenly, since I had not altered either firebird or java.

I agree with you. 2.6.0 still has too many problems, not suitable for multi user systems (security), and has other big problems as well. OK, I also lied (what's the past tense of lie? I always forget), as I have problems with 2.6.0: - one machine has boot problems with LVM2, I have to wait an extra ~30 secs, as it tries to open my cdrom (without any medium in it). It fails, wait, and retry about 20 times. If I put a cd into it, then it fails immediately and continue; - on my laptop I can not burn a cd if it exceeds ~400M. It burns for a while, and then just freeze the machine. Small cd burning is ok, and also ok if I reboot to 2.4.23. So I burn cd on an other computer. :-| But no other problem really. Anyway, I _do agree with you strongly_: 2.6.0 is not for widespread yet. I will switch at ~2.6.10 on my servers, depending the fixes get in by that time. Until then I use 2.4.23+grsecurity.

If you do not need 2.6.0 functionality, then stay at 2.4.23 or greater if any. 2.6.0 is working for most users, but it has serious problems at others. Also, it's not yet good in security. My advice is that one should switch to 2.6 at 2.6.4, but better at 2.6.10 or so. > I'm presuming theres something in the source code of the ATI kernel > driver that can be changed to make it work... IMHO the ATI driver says that it will taint the kernel. That's correct, you can't do anything with that. ATI provides a binary device driver, so all this means that kernel developers will refuse to help you debugging problems in the kernel as it contains non-free and non-checkable parts. > I'm thinking of completely re-installing and starting again > though I do not think it will be better.

Just set up your rules, then say '/etc/init.d/iptables save active'. The iptables script will load your rules at every boot.

Or am I missing something else? I have the same card. Are you using 40 or 128 bit encryption? Have you tried setting encryption manually? Such as: ~$ iwconfig eth1 enc 01234567890123456789123456 (for 128 bit encryption there are 26 characters needed and for the 40 bit encryption there are 10 characters needed...I think... so if you are using only 5 characters...that may be the problem) Also, have you played around with /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts ? I don't use the interfaces file for the wireless settings like you do. All my configuration in in wireless.opts and the only thing in my interfaces file is this: auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp One other thing, I remember vaguely having trouble with the bf24 kernel and wireless. Maybe you can try to do a custom kernel? Also what do you have for modules? This is what I have when I do lsmod: orinoco_cs 4724 1 orinoco37140 0 [orinoco_cs] hermes 6020 0 [orinoco_cs orinoco] Hope this gets you started in the right direction.

My ISP offers a similar service. According to their description, they compress data on their server and then decompress it on your computer -- which is why you need their software for it to work. Your physical download speed stays the same, but your "effective" speed increases. Of course, per their faq, it will also make some websites look worse because of the compress loss on images. I would assume AT&T is doing the same type of thing. - W.

Re: hardware raid and 3ware
If you go raid software or hardware, compile support directly into the kernel. I also had to have enother disk to boot of my 3ware system. With two disks, as alvin says, go with software raid. Use hardware raid for a monster set. I've not found much appreciable difference in performance between my hardware raid sysetem and software raid. Their might be a difference but I have not noticed it. I've used software raid on a 350gig archive/backup update server, and it scales up to a monstrous load, maxing out the network card on file syncs, and raid just goes along nicely. If you use software raid, use a kernel compiled for your processor, it speeds it up a lot. Have not noticed any speed difference between module and compiled in raid support. You also MUST have some sort of notification if a disk dies. I reccomend you have a spare disk installed in the system as a hot spare, it will dynamically add if a disk dies. I've had stories of raid disks dieing and no-one noticed for month's until another disk died, destroying the volume. Assume when setting up raid that you'll accidentally wipe your data. I've done so on non-production systems numerous times. -- --Luke CS Sysadmin, Montana State University-Bozeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

If you have directions on using initrd to work with raid, LET ME KNOW. If I don't have to recompile the kernel, then great! You can use systemimager for complete remote backup of a system. I use it to remote upgrade/downgrade desktops. Amazing! The lilo entry is really really simple for raid, after much much trial trial error. just set root=/dev/md0 Then update fstab on your new root partition. As mentioned before I will be posting complete directions, I am writing them now. Need to figure out what tests to use on my system, what are your base raid tests you run? Boot off disk1, boot disk2, etc I could never figure out grub, I wish I could have, but I also gave up on that. Stage1,Stage2 loader, never got it to work. Once i figured out how to use mdadm I like it, because it is easier then raidtools2 to use and it notifies you if a disk dies. -- --Luke CS Sysadmin, Montana State University-Bozeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Top copy from one partition to another do thus: just mount your raid volume as /mnt/md0 then do cp -ax / /mnt/md0 This works, I've done it, and booted off a system copied this way. > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Can I see the code and the exact error message, please? It's difficult
to debug this kind of thing with just summaries of the problem.
My guess, though, is that you haven't #include'd all the headers listed
in the fstat(2) man page. fstat() is in libc, which gcc will link by
default.
