Yes, as long as you have some other boot medium ready to boot the new
system the first time. Also don't forget that maybe you have to change
your fstab before the first time you boot the new system. You can
however also do this later. You can boot into a shell (append
"init=/bin/sh" to the boot prompt) and also tell the kernel at boot
time which root partition to use. If you boot directly into a shell, no
other partitions will be mounted (or attempted to). Then you can edit
your fstab.

best regards

Hi S,
I think you can look at 'dpkg -L' and 'dpkg --get-selections'

Running user nobody with noshell

[Lukas Ruf]

Dear all,

is there any potential problem if user nobody is run with shell
noshell?

The reason why I am asking: Today, sarge complained that /bin/noshell
for nobody would violate the Debian defaults, and it's highly
recommended to allow update-passwd to change this.

Any opinions and comments?

wbr,
Lukas

Re: VIA sound problem

[jochen]

No.  AFAIK ALSA is ALSA.  I've got a box under my umbrella with one of those 
VIA things in it, and it works fine.  Are you running aRts or esD or some 
other sound server?  That would be my first suspect.  Some kind of sharing 
problem.
 

Nope, no arts and no esd. Those two were also my first suspect.
I also checked if acpi was the problem (as acpi is often a source of 
really weired problems) and removed it from the kernel, still no change.

Segfault aufter dist-upgrade on woody

[Stefan Gößling-Reisemann]

Dear List,

at the beginning of September I did an "apt-get update" and "apt-get
upgrade" on a Woody installation. The upgraded packages were (IIRC)
libpng2/3 and rsync. Exactly on that day tripwire stopped working, i.e. it
delivers a segmentation fault. The rest of the system seemed to work fine
at first, until I discovered recently that also dpkg creates a segfault.

The system was setup by two CS students at our university, so I don't know
all the details of the installation. I know that they have compiled their
own kernel (2.4.19). They claim to have added two extra drivers (as
modules) (via-rhine.c:v1.10-LK1.1.14 and sundance.c:v1.01b 17-Jan-2002).
But aren't these part of the 2.4.19 source??

The tripwire package is also compiled from sources (version 2.3.1.2), as
is the samba suite (version 2.2.9). All the rest is standard Woody, as far
as I know.

I have done an strace of a call to tripwire and dpkg, they end with the
following lines:

strace of tripwire
==

read(3, "# /etc/nsswitch.conf\n#\n# Example"..., 4096) = 465
read(3, "", 4096)   = 0
close(3)= 0
munmap(0x40076000, 4096)= 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
write(2, "Software interrupt forced exit: "..., 51) = 51
munmap(0x40077000, 4096)= 0
_exit(8)= ?


strace of dpkg

mremap(0x4018f000, 1007616, 1011712, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x4018f000

mremap(0x4018f000, 1015808, 1019904, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x4018f000
mremap(0x4018f000, 1019904, 1024000, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x402b2000
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++


I have run memcheck for around 3 hours (6 passes) with no errors. I have
also done an fsck on all partitions (except swap).

Any ideas where to look? How would I further analyse the problem?

Best regards and thanks to everyone willing to help,
Stefan (debian @ goessling . de)

Junk flags in firefox

[Tom Allison]

I'm noticing that the imap server FLAGS under thunderbird are coming in 
with the flag "Junk".  This is from the client side filtering code that 
Thunderbird has (I assume).

I thought IMAP Flags where more fixed than that, or can any client 
create any Flags within syntactical reason for the IMAP server to store?

I'm sure I do have a lot of free disk space, but my df output is:

from different OS i get:
/dev/hda2  2016044   1282844630788  68% /
whitch seems to be correct.
I was able to repeat few times:
cat a >> b; cat b >> a,
so I really have space on my hda.
I've overriden df so that it printed (hartcoded) correct information,
but some installers (for ex. ZendStudio, and mysql-server 4.0)
still claimed that there is no enough room...
Anyone have any idea what's going on? (i know that '-' is from overflow, 
byt hda7 has 7GB and hda2 only 2GB...)

Well, there isn't any easy way i know of to do this on linux, however, it 
really is a case of a solution in search of a problem.  This sort of thing 
really isn't an issue with free software, or really with any properly

Why won't XMMS play .au files?

[Adam Funk]

I'm running the xmms 1.2.10-1 package.

$ apt-cache show xmms
...
 It's able to read and play:
  * Audio MPEG layer 1, 2, and 3 (with mpg123 plug-in),
  * WAV, RAW, AU (with internal wav plug-in and MikMod plug-in),
...

When I run XMMS the audio input plugin includes the following:
  MikMod Player 1.2.10 [libmikmod.so]
  Wave Player 1.2.10 [libwav.so]

But it will *not* play any of these files:

$ file *.au
foo1.au:   Sun/NeXT audio data: 16-bit linear PCM, stereo, 44100 Hz
foo.au:Sun/NeXT audio data: 16-bit linear PCM, mono, 22050 Hz
vsound4090.au: Sun/NeXT audio data: 16-bit linear PCM, mono, 22050 Hz

Any idea why not?

So I decided to use Chronyc with the accheck  command, and I am 
getting 209 Access denied commands on all the Stratum 2 servers I am 
trying to contact.  Yes I have inputed my Chronyc passwd like the 
docs says, with Chronyc password.

According to http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2b.html, these 
are supposed to be Stratum 2 servers with public access. There is a 
note on some of the listings that suggest to drop them a notification 
if you use their servers.

I would like to use accheck to verify the server is talking to 
Chronyd, I would also like to find the closest ntp server that is 
working.  But so far no luck, I have the default .conf file using the 
pool.ntp.org addresses, like this.  The only thing I changed was the 
online from offline, because I use DSL, and my computer is always on.

server pool.ntp.org online 
server pool.ntp.org online 
server pool.ntp.org online  
I don't understand this. You have these 3 lines in your chrony.conf and 
not one of the servers that are in the link you cite?

Also chrony is very complete for you to check that it is "talking". Viz. 
you can use the commands, like "activity" to see what is online, 
"sourcestats" to see what the sources do. Also you can check the logs in 
/var/log/chrony that tell you exactly what it is doing.

If "activity" shows nothing online and "online" doesn't change that then 
you don't have the right servers in your conf file.

This gets asked occasionally and AFAIK you can only find the contents of 
any CD by actually getting it.
I take it you meant "14 cd's" and not "14th cd".

I would like also to know the contents of a CD BEFORE getting it, no 
such luck yet...

Good point, sorry.  When I try to run it from the command line
   $ xmms *.au &
XMMS launches but shows an empty playlist and opens the dialogue box
for adding files to the playlist.  When I try to add these files using
that dialogue it won't add them.

This is the same behaviour that occurs with file types that XMMS can't
play (e.g. trying to play non-audio files by mistake or audio files of
an unsuitable WAVE type).

Intel 82845 Video?

[Robert Harris]

I'm trying to configure X on a Debian-3.0 "Stable" system.  I just got

have any ideas what the driver name and Vendor name for this booger
would be?

You probably need http://www.mega-nerd.com/xmms_sndfile/. Don't know if

Check the documentation for XFree 4.1 on . If
there is no special driver for your card, use the VESA driver.

Cannot paste into remote shell

[JoeHill]

Following some of the advice given to me below, I attempted to paste the
commands into an ssh prompt (you know, highlight text with mouse, middle click
to paste). Strangely enough, *any* mouse buttons pressed whilst in the terminal
window showing the ssh connection to the Debian box produce gibberish.

Is there a way to 'correct' this behaviour, or is this normal? Is it an
'incompatibility' between the Eterm on my Mandrake box and the Debian machine?

Thanks all, I'll try to limit my silly questions to a couple a day ;-)

Imap supports system flags and keyword flags. System flags (\Seen,
\Deleted, etc.) are defined by the IMAP specification and always begin
with a \. 

Keyword flags are server-specific. Some servers allow the client to
define new keyword flags, but it is not a requirement for a server.

Executing 'reset' did not resolve it, but your second question prompted me (no
pun intended) to open a new shell, and sure enough the pasting worked as
desired.

What might cause this, just out of curiosity?

Most likely an ncurses application (vim, mutt, aptitude, ...) that

How to match kernel_headers and kernel versions?

[Eric Dickner]

I have the 2.4.27 kernel running and needed a
kernel_headers_ to compile a native kernel
module (modem driver).  The latest headers package
offered for 2.4.x was 2.4.18 which is what I
installed.

I was able to compile the object but when I go to
"insmod" it into the kernel I am told that the version
doesn't match my kernel version and it bails.  Since
there is no kernel_version_2.4.27 (as far as I know)
available will I have to DOWNgrade my kernel to 2.4.18
in order to compile modules?

The xmms package description mentions MikMod in connection with .au
files and recommends the package libmikmod2.  This might be all that's

Did you compile the kernel yourself? In that case the headers you need
should be in the kernel source tree.

Why did you use "To:root@"? Should it not be "root@"?
You can use the tags "To:", "From:" or "Connect:" on the LHS of the access 
map to limit the matching to envelope rcpt, envelope from or connection 
info.  See:
http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/chk-89-1.html
This is also covered in the latest bat book I think.

Anyway, I get the same problem even if I don't use the "To:" tag.  For

Yeah, I did.  The instructions from kernel.org told me
not to keep the source there as the code from the
"kernel du jour" would conflict with the headers, so I
installed a debian package there, instead.

I am guessing from looking at the names of the
versions there is no way to match up a
kernel_versions_.deb with source from
kernel.org, is there?  The debian packages always have
versions like 2.4.x- while the kernel.org
versions always end after the third number.

So I guess I have to decide on using a packaged kernel
or making the headers by hand, correct?

mousewheels in 2.4.26 vs 2.6.7

[Hugo Vanwoerkom]

Hi Debian!
I use the same X Debian package + XF86Config-4 in the 2 kernel versions 
and the same Sarge release.

But...
in 2.6.7 my 2 mousewheel A4Tech optical mouse has only the upper wheel 
active and in 2.4.26 both.

So since the only difference is the kernel version, that has to be the 
difference.

But where?

You need to look at some ssh logs, to see where the exchange breaks 
down.  See if WinSCP will give them to you.  If not, try a different 
client, e.g. command-line ssh, crank up the debug level, and look for 
the problem in the logs.

I'm guessing you're trying to run these from outside KDE, correct?

I had this happen when I upgraded to KDE 3.3, but tried to run the newly
installed apps such as Konqueror from fluxbox, where I was running from
at the time.

When I switched sessions to KDE, everything was fine from that point on,
even from fluxbox.

Failing that, there is a package available:

The instructions were talking about /usr/src/linux, and

- Debian is not affected, because on Debian, /usr/include/linux is not 
  linked to /usr/src/linux
- You can extract the kernel to /usr/src/linux-$version 
  or /usr/src/kernel-source-$version

It is not only a question of versions. The Debian kernels are also
patched. It is quite simple: the headers used for compiling a module
should match the running kernel. If you use a prepackaged Debian
kernel, install the matching headers package, or the source package,
and configure it. It you compiled the kernel yourself, keep the source.
It you removed it, download it again, extract it,
copy /boot/config-$(uname -r) to /usr/src/linux-$version/.config and
run

make oldconfig
make dep

This will recreate the headers (for kernel 2.4).

The next time you compile a kernel, use make-kpkg from the
kernel-package package. It can create debs for the kernel image, kernel
headers, kernel source and kernel documentation.

best regards
Andreas Janssen

So this is a recent problem.. hadn't realised that. I had the same

proportional).

In Mozilla & derivatives xprint's behaviour can be configured by

I had some problems when the system mixed up some alsa and oss modules (like 
the "snd" _and_ the "sound" module). Make sure only the alsa modules are 
loaded. Sound works fine here with the following modules being loaded:

snd_via82xx
snd_ac97_codec
snd_pcm_oss
snd_mixer_oss
snd_pcm
snd_timer
snd_page_alloc
snd_mpu401_uart
snd_rawmidi
snd_seq_device
snd
soundcore
... make sure the "sound" (and via82cxxx_audio) modules are _not_ loaded as 
they are oss.

See if that helps..

Improving Performance for SATA Drives

[Jacob S]

At boot time, running kernel 2.6.7-1-k7, I notice it sets all 4 of my
SATA ports to UDMA/100. However, they're all supposed to be able to do
SATA 150.

Normally I would use hdparm to try and tweak things to make it work
faster, but the 2.6 kernel recognizes SATA as SCSI drives (first SATA
port is /dev/sda). So, how would I get this system to recognize the
faster capabilities of my SATA ports and drive?

TIA,
Jacob

Would this even compile? For a very limited (one element) tree, you might have 
something like:

WriteTreeSlave( &PaulTree, 0 );

TBH, I don't think you'll notice any difference in speed between ATA100 and 
SATA150. There's no way in hell a hard drive can deliver much more than 
about 50MB/s, let along approach 100MB/s. I might result in slower cache 
transfers, but again I think you'd be hard pressed to notice it.

I'm assuming that the drives are running in DMA rather than PIO, right? 
Just try an hdparm benchmark (hdparm -tT /dev/sda whatever), as long as it 
reports decent performance then you shouldn't need to do much tweaking. A 
newer kernel/SATA drivers may help you in the long run, since the SATA 
drivers seem to improve in performance dramatically with each new release.

Hello Jianbo,

We can only make forecasts based on the following figures:

   http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/

because the final Sarge "will be ready when it will be ready", and it will be 
_good_ and _stable_ 
That's what's really important, no?

If you cannot wait, you can already install Testing ("pre-Sarge") using 
debian-installer RC1. You'll have a system that is usable and good enough if 
stability is not critical for you, and you'll be able to upgrade some 
packages using 'apt-get install '.

  http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2004/20040807

Personaly, I installed it on a laptop a while ago for someone I know who's 
very happy with it!

You can also try "unstable".

If you want Sarge for a server, then Woody is still good! or wait for the 
final Sarge one more 10 weeks, or more, maybe less? (it will be ready when it 
will be ready...)

Have fun!

Cheers,
Sylvain.

If you're on a cheap network connection you don't need (or want) to
get the 14 CD set.  Trust us on this.  Unless you're on a $12/MB
carrier pigeon connection in remote Russia (or some other absurdly
expensive and/or slow connection), you're going to want the 110MB
NetInst CD to install from.  The rest can be fetched from the network
in far less time and wasted bandwidth than getting 14 CDs, when you'll
probably only need one anyway.

Really naive question - Could recently-released SpamAssassin 3.0 still make

Sarge? I wasn't sure if certain popular packages had a faster track through

DMA issue

[Josh Lauricha]

I have the following:
ABIT KD7A
Athlon XP 2800+
Western Digital 180GB (WD1800BB)
Generic 16x DVD-ROM
And am getting:
 hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21
 hda: DMA interrupt recovery
 hda: DMA timeout error
 hda: DMA timeout error: status=0xd0 { Busy }
 hda: DMA disabled
 ide0: reset: success
 hda: lost interrupt
 hda: task_out_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest 
Error }
 hda: task_out_intr: error=0x00 { }

hda: DMA disabled
hda: drive not ready for command
ide0 reset: success
Regularly. The drive will reset (with an audible click), then do a 
little more and timeout again. I'm trying to install Sarge running 
2.6.8, but the same problem happens with 2.4.26. I've tried booting 
with noacpi, nodma, ide=nodma and noapic with no success. I've tried 
different combos of connecting the drives, both on primary, dvd on 
secondary, etc. I've disabled DMA in the BIOS, but it still seems to 
try to use it. I've reset the BIOS. Is there anything else I can try? 
Anyone else running one of these boards? Based on the dmesg output, it 
doesn't seem like the noapic arg does anything on this board.

Sorry for the late answer. But I don't have the time to check the

Great to hear that! It's NOT necessary to have /usr/src/linux, as far as
I can see: You can compile your .deb packages (probably all .deb
packages) somewhere in your user directory, with any need to cd to
/usr/src/

I don't have any idea how to get rpm packages compiled on a Debian
system. But others might be able to help here ...
(maybe you can forget the rpm's by simply finding the deb. package
pendant, and then try to compile/install this?)

Even Linus Torvalds suggested some time ago that people should NOT use
/usr/src for compiling kernels:



Excerpt:

I would suggest that people who compile new kernels should:

  * NOT do so in /usr/src. Leave whatever kernel (probably only the
header files) that the distribution came with there, but don't
touch it.

  * compile the kernel in their own home directory, as their very
own selves. No need to be root to compile the kernel. You need
to be root to install the kernel, but that's different.

  * not have a single symbolic link in sight (except the one that
the kernel build itself sets up, namely the "linux/include/asm"
symlink that is only used for the internal kernel compile
itself)


I tried to describe in (more or less) detail a kernel compile in a
NON-/usr/src/ environment. You find it here:


It should also work for any other .deb package you'd like to compile.

If you want to compile a package simply do a 
apt-get build-dep 

The command above will pull dependency related packages, necessary for
the build, into your system. More on that here:

   [ ... ]

Did you ever install a kernel from a deb package? If not: Perhaps this
is the reason you don't have these "headers" on your system ... ??
Any one out there knows more on that?

And Eric: Please let me know if this does not help ..

Good luck

Basically all (more or less) you have to do is to type "passwd" in what

Sounds like a typo - if you have dsl-provider in your /proc, it should
be:

poff dsl-provider

NOT:

poff ds-provider

This is a known problem.  I'm gonna guess that you are using Woody and
you manually upgraded your libc6 package.

Apt-get install the 'stat' package, and write a Perl script named df
that works :)

Or just go Sarge/Etch/Sid. Etch does not exist, but it will Real Soon

Thanks, this describes the problem exactly. I figured out that it was
looking at the font preferences that broke things (by trial and error -
since I noticed that the default settings printed ok)

The solution on this page seems to be more robust, thanks.

"Broken" is the apt term for a package that is partially installed or
partially removed, and for which fixing the problem seems to involve
some action that cannot be done automatically. Without debconf properly
installed, progress on installing exim will be problematic at best.
Debconf is the Debian system for asking configuration questions of the
user. You really need it to deal with exim install. 

First fix whatever is wrong about debconf. Don't worry about exim 
until you have done so. Luckily, you don't need a fully functional 
debconf in order to install debconf. Look at what aptitude tells
you.
