annoying mutt problem

[Sean]

After fetching my mail from my isp's pop server, mutt usually only 
displays the first 10 or so messages.  The others although fetched by 
fetchmail, don't display in my mailbox for a few minutes, according to 
mutt.  If I have about 50 or so, I can quit mutt, and go back in to see 
all the messages.  However if there are 200 or so, like today, it takes 
2 or so minutes and quitting and restarting mutt before I see them all.  
What's appening here?  Can I fix that?

question relating to speakers and my soundcard

[Sean]

I don't know if this related to linux, but my sound only works if I plug 
headphones or a really old pair of unpowered speakers into the jack.  
The old speakers are really faint, which I gues is why now they all have 
pwoered.  My question is, what is the difference between these old 
working speakers and my new non-working Boston Akustic speakers?  The 
newer speakers do work fine on another computer with a different 
soundcard.If I have to get new speakers, what specific kind do I need 
which will work with this s1370 soundcard?  The newer speakers work on a 
sbpci 64d, which I believe is a 1373 chipset.  I can't confirm the 
chipset on that, it's still a winblows machine.

galeon-common in Experimental not upgradeable

[Shaun Devon]

Package: galeon-common
Version: 1.3.18-1.1
Severity: critical

Hello list. I am using Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 tracking Unstable/Experimental, with a 2.6.8-1-686 kernel, libc6 version is 2.3.2.ds1-18, with Gnome 2.8 from Experimental. Been running it more or less trouble-free i.e. running 'apt-get -t experimental upgrade' with no problems. But on my last 'apt-get -t experimental upgrade' run apt-get stumbled on the upgrade of galeon-common. 

I have tried purging/removing/downgrading (i.e. to the version available in Unstable) the whole of galeon along with galeon-common but to no avail. Apt-get refuses to perform any other work like installing new packages I want without me first attending to this issue with galeon-common. I'm not sure if there is a way or ways to have "1 not fully installed or removed" dealt with via apt-get, aptitude or synaptic.

SSH hostkey authentication and users' known_hosts files

[martin f krafft]

We are successfully using SSH hostkey-based authentication for our
cluster. What I find really strange is that users still get to see
messages like:

  Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address
  '192.168.0.136' to the list of known hosts.

On and for each host, /etc/ssh/known_hosts contains the RSA and DSA
keys, so there is really no point in adding them to the user's
database. Moreover, if the admin actually puts a new host in place,
users might get confused by the warning message.

Is this a bug or a feature?
How can I disable the use of ~/.ssh/known_hosts when the needed key
is present in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts?

PCMCIA CardBus USB adapter

[Tom Sahrendt]

Hi there,

I have a problem with a PCMCIA CardBus adapter. I
asked on debian-laptop and they suggested to ask here.
So, I hope your rep as being the top debian experts
out there, is justified. Go ahead and prove it! *g*;-)

Though I browsed the archives I could not find a
solution to my problem. If it has been tackled, any
URL is a good URL. ;-)

My problem is this:

I'm in kinda situation and bound to use my old laptop,
an Compaq Armada 1500c. Unfortunately, the USB port is
broken. I bought a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed CardBus Adapter
PCMUSB20A and I'm trying to make it work.

I'm using

hotplug 0.0.200403

cardmgr 3.2.5

Linux 2.6.8-1-686 #1 Thu Oct 7 03:15:25 EDT 2004 i686
GNU/Linux

I did a modprobe usb_storage, because I test the
CardBus adapter with an USB stick. If I don't load
usb_storage, however, it doesn't work either and the
error message doesn't change. Here's what
/var/log/messages says:

hd2 implies you're using /dev/sdc 

assuming you do not have any ide devices and only sda, sdb, sdc

this ( root=...) will NOT be a raid boot ... 
- pull sdc and your system will not boot ...

it's fine, as long as you didn't mean to boot off sda+sdb ( md0 )

i think grub will not boot ... hd0 is /dev/sda in your setup

i doubt /dev/md0 will become hd3 
( i dont use grub for raid for this reason-- it doesnt work right )

i know lilo will boot ...
boot=/dev/md0

Looking at your usage, I would probably go with ext2 or xfs.  XFS is
supposed to be the best filesystem for big files.  Then again, I'm not
sure you need a journaled filesystem if you only read from the system
(but someone can probably correct me on that).

CUPS: jobs stop printing until reboot

[Alan E. Davis]

Hello:

I have finally broken down and installed CUPS, which seems to work pretty well for two 
printers, an HP PSC2175 and a Brother HL1440.  However, I have run into a few rough 
spots.  Besides driver issues for the HP, I have a problem that has happened often 
enough to start to bug me.

As mentioned in the subject line, it has happened a few times that at some point, even 
when the printer has been working, some small change in the parameters or some unknown 
factor will cause the printer to just stop accepting jobs, or else the system to stop 
passing them to the printer.  


On one instance, using Sane to scan from the HP PSC2175 and print to the HL1440, the 
scans went perfectly and printed ok on the Laser printer (giving me a copy function at 
a much cheaper cost).  Then for one scan I decided to specify in the Sane dialog for 
two copies to be printed.  It worked fine.  Then the next time around, I specified one 
copy, but nothing happened.  I repeated the command several times.  Other print jobs 
could not print either.

After rebooting, the printer cranked out pending jobs.


In another instance, today, jobs sent to the HP printer didn't print.  I rebooted, and 
the copies printed ok.  


I tried /etc/init.d/cupsys restart, but this didn't work.  

I had similar problems with lpd/lpr for perhaps years, which I have always had to 
solve with the /etc/init.d/lpd stop/start trickery.  

I have looked at the CUPS docs, but haven't figured this out.  Is this problem 
familiar to anyone?

I'm really beginning to wonder if this just isn't a bug in Gigabyte's

I stated earlier on this thread that I was getting an error when hotplug 
would attempt to load and start all the usb modules on a 2.4.27 kernel 
at boot too(usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout).  What is really strange is 
that I did an apt-get update and then an upgrade to get the latest sarge

And, no, there were no kernel patches or upgrades in the files listed by 
apt to be upgraded.

Re: my fan is out of control

on KDE there's an application that control several things from vaio computers. 
i don't know if there's something like it for gnome.

under de KDE control center -> System Administration -> Sony Vaio Laptop.

I don't know if this solve your problem, but it's worth to try.

there must be an app that control the fan. when I recompiled the kernel, I 
remember to see something regarding that. since pentium mobile processors can 
be more or less powerfull depending of the use (I don't remeber the technical 
term for that). if your using a generic kernel, you should think about 
recompiling your kernel to your machine. If you need help for that just 
ask...

My bad. I made a glaring misconception here.

Here's the case here - RAID 1 indeed does not mirror physical disk
errors (else there's no real point in using RAID at all). However,
should there be errors in the disks during reconstruction of the RAID
array, RAID 1 won't save you as the errors would propagate anyway.
RAID 5 alleviates this by using parity information stored across the
disks - now it takes more than 1 disk failure for RAID 5 to fail.

See above. The problem with RAID 5 is this - the benefits doesn't
really match the costs. You get additional checking but at a very high
cost (as additional space are used to store parity information, and it
takes more than two disks to implement RAID 5). Some alleviate this
problem by combining RAID 1 with RAID 0 as this is somehow an
acceptable trade off between economics and performance.

SCA is quite useful if you need hotswapping of SCSI disks. If that
isn't the case - there's not much economic incentive in purchasing
them.

While you're there, remind them that for google groups 2, not
including the references headers, and/or not updating them to actually
make them accurate, breaks the 90% of readers out there that do obey
the standard.

But the subject did have to do with raid.

If you don't change the subject to appropriate to the topic at hand,
then you piss off people who don't want to read about the new topic,
but were interested in what the subject puports to talk about, and you
miss audience who would be interested in the new topic.

If you are interested in responses directly to yours (and this is the
reason why you object to subject line changes), you can then score
positively on responses including your message-id format within the
last n entries in the references header.

You are on a dial-up line, right?

Buy an ISO instead.  Much higher "bandwidth", that way.

You might try your luck with the last uncrippled free version,

Migrated from OSS to ALSA on 2.6.9 and lived to tell about it...

[Hugo Vanwoerkom]

Hi Debian!
To see whether fbxine would play any better with ALSA ( it does not :-( 
regardless what the FAQ says ) I migrated.

1. I recompiled the kernel with (NO MODULES!):
* Soundcard support
* ALSA
* OSS Mixer API
* OSS PCM API
* Verbose printk
* Debug
* Debug Detection
* ISA Devices: Generic Cyrrus Logic CS4232 Driver
2. apt-get installed alsa-base
3. took out the oss module from /etc/modules
All there was to it. Even alsamixer was already set up.
Piece of cake.

That's why I voted with my $$$ for a firewire enclosure
That's what I did also: motivated by the good performance of my iPod when
connected the Firewire port of my iBook both under MacOS X and under Linux
and looking to be as prepared as possible in the event of crash recovery, I
bought myself a Firewire enclosure for an IDE drive and a vanilla Firewire
card for my Desktop.
I have been quite happy with this strategy ever since. And the nice point
is that current Linux kernels are able to use HFS+ quite well, which is a
good compromise between a filesystem that can be used with Linux and with
other OSes (it allows symlinks, which VFAT doesn't and it can be journaled,
which VFAT also doesn't allow).

Hello all,
I have noticed this behaviour in Firefox recently. When the cursor is
in the location bar and I press "Ctrl+U" to delete the text, Firefox
opens the "View Source" window. This is annoying as it changes a
basic linux shortcut's functionality.

Can't say I've ever understood this particular problem since Ctrl+L does 
essentially the same thing, and without having to select the address 
bar first as well. Or install the Diggler extension. I also dispute 
that this is a "basic linux shortcut" since it is in fact a vi 
shortcut. Mozilla uses a hodgepodge of both vi and emacs shortcuts in 
text areas in Linux.
I thought it was a basic linux shortcut as I could use it on a terminal 
on various Linux flavours I have tired. Didn't know that it actually 
came from Emacs.


It was working fine till 0.9.3 and the change has only happened in
0.10+ versions. Mozilla suite still kills the text in location bar
with Ctrl+U but Firefox has changed. Is it possible to revert back
the behaviour?
And now with this new version there is another package that I had to 
install, mozilla-firefox-gnome-support. I think why everyone suggested 
changing GNOME preferences.


See Mozilla bugs 189615 and 260188. This was changed because too many 
bugs were being filed on the old behaviour. I agree they're useful in 
text areas in the page itself, I'm far less convinced they're useful in 
the url and search bars since selecting the bar itself via keyboard 
shortcut selects the contents for overwriting.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189615
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260188
From comment #18 of the latter:
<<
...add the following two lines to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file:
include "/usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc"
gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"
Tried that. Didn't work!

You should also be able to change it from the GNOME control centre 
somewhere (beats me where - I can't stand GNOME). What this means is 
that Firefox now respects whatever behaviour you have set GNOME and all 
GNOME apps to use, which in the end makes more sense.

HTH,
I got another way to deal with the Ctrl+U thing. from b.m.o #189615 I 
learnt that intead of "selecting url, focusing in location bar, Ctrl+U, 
mouse middle click to paste url", I could just middle click in the body 
of a tab and it will open that url. Neat.

Thanks for all the suggestions,

Runlevel 1 is single user mode => no users can connect.
This means that the inetd , network services are closed. So also SSH
will be closed.
If you still  want to use the SSH in runlevel one, remove the shutdown
off the ssh from runlevel 1,2,3.

#> rm /etc/rc1.d/K20ssh

customizing runlevel 1

[Benedict Verheyen]

Hi,
i manage my Debian server via SSH. When i want to increase the size of a 
lv (i use LVM),
i usually go to runlevel 1 and then do the business that i need to do. 
Off course, in the process
of going to runlevel 1, the SSH connection is killed and i can't log 
back in.
The reason that i go to run level 1 is that it closes running programs 
that otherwise
might prevent an umount. I always get some sort of program holding on to 
the device
that i want to resize so going to runlevel 1 solves that.

Is there anyway that i can keep the network in runlevel 1 or should i 
just customize
another runlevel for this kind of maintenance?

Thanks,
Benedict

Re: oddity with find -exec grep -i

[Mirek Stefanski]

I think you simply miss --ignore-case in second grep (first grep find it 
but dont convert the case so the second can't find the pattern)
Try add -i to the second grep.

Making CompactFlash user-owned partition/directory

[Charlie Zender]

Hi,
I am running a fully update Debian Sid linux with 2.6.7 kernel.
I am mounting a CompactFlash partition through my PCMCIA adaptor as
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mount -t vfat -o umask=022 /dev/hde1 /cf
The umask allows users to read and write to the /cf partition.
However, I cannot figure out how to create user-owned directories.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cf# ls -ld /cf
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 16384 Oct 31 11:09 /cf
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cf# mkdir /cf/zender
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cf# chown zender zender
chown: changing ownership of `zender': Operation not permitted
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cf# ls -ld zender
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 16384 Oct 31 11:09 zender
zender is a valid user account on this machine,
why can't root changed ownership of zender directory to zender?
Is there a mount option that I need to set?
While I'm at it, how do I enable a user to mount and own the
whole /cf partition?
Any help appreciated,
Charlie

Well, that depends on what you think is `basic linux shortcut 
functionality'. But yes, I'm used to using the emacs-like shortcuts, and 
it annoyed me too.

To fix (in firefox and all/many? other gnome apps), eighter run
gnome-keybinding-properties from the shell and set
`text editing shortcuts' to "Emacs", or do the same in
Applications->DesctopPreferences->KeyboardShortcuts from the Gnome menu.

I've not tried it myself, you should be able to have Procmail working
between Postfix and Cyrus.

I've done a quick google search and found this:

It's about *ykes* OSX, but you could probably use it as an example... =)

Can't say I've ever understood this particular problem since Ctrl+L does 
essentially the same thing, and without having to select the address 
bar first as well. Or install the Diggler extension. I also dispute 
that this is a "basic linux shortcut" since it is in fact a vi 
shortcut. Mozilla uses a hodgepodge of both vi and emacs shortcuts in 
text areas in Linux.

See Mozilla bugs 189615 and 260188. This was changed because too many 
bugs were being filed on the old behaviour. I agree they're useful in 
text areas in the page itself, I'm far less convinced they're useful in 
the url and search bars since selecting the bar itself via keyboard 
shortcut selects the contents for overwriting.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189615
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260188

From comment #18 of the latter:
<<
...add the following two lines to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file:
include "/usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc"
gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"
>>

You should also be able to change it from the GNOME control centre 
somewhere (beats me where - I can't stand GNOME). What this means is 
that Firefox now respects whatever behaviour you have set GNOME and all 
GNOME apps to use, which in the end makes more sense.

Audio problems related to Java VM

[Vegard Lundby Rekaa]

After I installed Java ( filename: j2re-1_4_2_05-linux-i586.bin) I've had
problems with audio in some progs. XMMS (audioplayer), gaim
(chattingprog), totem(movieplayer) and mplayer(movieplayer) fails to play
any sound at all.  All these programs workes before installing java. When
running XMMS I get this error message:

"Couldn't open audio:
Please chech that:
Your soundcard is configured properly
You have the correct output plugin selected
No other program is blocking the soundcard"

I wrote "fuser /dev/dsp" in terminal and got nothing as a result.

Using apt I found a package called sndconfig. Running this tellsme that my
sound configurations is OK and sndconfig playes a sound perfectly.

I've tried google, but I'm not able to find any clues.

Does anyone have an idea what I could do?

Regards Vegard, Norway.

Hello all,
I have noticed this behaviour in Firefox recently. When the cursor is in

It was working fine till 0.9.3 and the change has only happened in 0.10+

but Firefox has changed. Is it possible to revert back the behaviour?

This is all in order. The problem is in the bootup/shutdown scripts. Maybe I

usually keep what I have because I am afraid of what will be done instead.

I think something is very wrong with CUPS in both Sarge and Sid. I was
getting the "client-error-not-possible" trying to use CUPS as a remote
printer, but an upgrade from Sid has now disabled the printing system
alltogether. I found this in /var/log/cups/error_log:

Unable to convert file 0 to printable format for job 14!
Hint: Do you have ESP Ghostscript installed?

Yes, gs-esp is installed. Actually this came as a result of problems with
libgtk1.2, something about fonts. Trying to fix that broke CUPS. Go figure.

Speaking of broken things, this is very curious:

tdiary and modruby

[Francisco Borges]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup tdiary on a sarge box running apache2.

I've used 

tdairy-setup copy /home/borges/public_html

and have everythng in place. I moved htaccess contents to
/etc/apache2/conf.d/tdiary as it seemed better to do.

As far as i could tell, the ruby scripts were not being executed: 

(apache error logs)
[Sun Oct 31 16:47:24 2004] [error] Premature end of script headers: index.rb

So I installed libapache2-mod-ruby and after including the configuration
for it in /etc/apache/conf.d, I'm now getting:

(apache error logs)
[Sun Oct 31 17:10:52 2004] [error] mod_ruby: error in ruby

[Sun Oct 31 17:10:52 2004] [error] mod_ruby: 
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/apache/ruby-run.rb:53:in `load': No such file to load

[Sun Oct 31 17:10:52 2004] [error] mod_ruby:   from
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/apache/ruby-run.rb:53:in `handler'

The file is there and exists.

The only change I made to the example file for modruby
was adding


SetHandler ruby-object
RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance


Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Peace,

I did some googling on procmail and cyrus a few days ago. My
conclusion was that procmail can't write to cyrus-imap folders. If I'm
wrong I would love to be corrected. With courier-imap there seems to
be no problem. Procmail can still be a part of the solution of
course. It can always redirect to /dev/null.

Sure, filter them before they get to Cyrus.  If you want to do all decision
making with Sieve, make sure the filters add headers you can test against.
 

So if I use say procmail, how do I tell cyrus which folder to put it 
in?  What I want to do, is to sort all messages from known sources in to 
some folders, ans then run spamc on the rest (I really don't want to

Alright then. I don't use aptitude, but apparantly I have it
installed. From /usr/share/aptitude/README:


Option:Aptitude::Autoclean-After-Update

Default:false

Description: If this option is true, aptitude will clean up obsolete
files (see Actions->Clean obsolete files) every time you update the
package list.


So putting

Aptitude::Autoclean-After-Update

in your apt.conf will delete all obsolete files in your package
cache. Deleting really everything doesn't seem to be an available
option, but maybe you can find it in that file.

Indeed this is false.  It also shows a complete lack of understanding the
very basic principles of RAID, so please don't waste much of your time
trying to figure out what the guy meant, he is seriously confused and needs
to read more on RAID first.

You can detect inconsistencies in a non-degraded (and redundant) RAID
regardless of RAID level (whether your RAID implementation will do it is
something else entirely).  RAID by itself will not be capable of detecting
inconsistencies on a degraded (non-redundant) RAID.

RAID does not have checksums, it has error-correction codes.  You can call
it "parity" if you wish (although that is not strictly correct, IMHO).  But
don't call it "checksum", please.  It confuses those who don't know what
they are talking about in the first place.

Because they cannot.

Oh, a particular RAID1 setup could have much worse failure tolerance than
another RAID5 setup, but that's all due to bad design or bad implementation
on that singular RAID1 setup in the first place.

That is correct AFAIK.

Thank you for the complement, but Chrony knows nothing about local time.
It just keeps your system clock synchronized with UTC.  Timezones are

As is why we have the useless thing at 45 degrees.

errors in one disk it gets propagated to the mirror as well.
Alvin, first off all I'm aware of high availability solutions (I've done 
my master thesis on those setups), but together with HA solutions we can 
use RAID anyway...
Alvin and Paolo, I'm quite stunned with these claims that "errors on one

no sense to me that something like that could happen. Quoting Tim:

Completely false. Physical disk errors mirrored by raid? No, No,
No. Fat fingered deletes? Yes.
"
Paolo, as far as I understand your statements, you state this behaviour 
(suposing that it does happen) does not happen with RAID5. Why? With 
RAID5 you "checksum" data and in RAID1 you mirror sectors?
I've googled for these problems you claim in RAID1 and haven't found 
nothing stating that these things could happen!

Altough I'll not be going to SCA (as it appears to add somewhat 
significant $$$ to my environment where I don't neet 24/7 availability), 
 just confirm this: There is no SCA controllers. The controllers have 
68 pins wich connect to the hot-swap rack (wich will also receive power 
from a regular power cable) and the hot-swap rack will have the sca 
connector to connect to a sca disk. Is that it?

problems with qla2x00

[andreas . sumper]

Hi List!

I have a big problem with the debian
qla2x00 packages.
I use debian sarge with kernel 2.6.8-smp
on an intel xeon dual processor machine with 1 GB RAM and a QLogic Card,
connected to a SAN. I tryied to install the software (qla2x00 v. 7.0),
but it did not work at all. I could not compile the module. So I decided
to install the debian - package. But this had the same effect either. I
tried to install the kernel - headers, but maybe I got something wrong...
During compilation it seems, that files
like modversions.h and other could not be found...

Has anybody some idea how I can fix
this problem?

TIA,
Sumpi

Call for help: TiMidity++ aRts users

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]

This is a call for help of all TiMidity++ users that use it with aRts mode
(KDE).

I have just uploaded a TiMidity++ release to unstable (2.13.2-3) that tries
to fix some troublesome aRts issues.  It will go into testing in 10 days, if
everyhing is alright with the dependencies.  

I am very strict about very high quality packaging, so I will not let
TiMidity++ with broken aRts support into the next stable, no matter what the
costs.  And I cannot test the TiMidity++ aRts output.

What that means is that if I don't get any sort of reports to work with (of
either failure or success) in 10 days, I will have to remove aRts support
from TiMidity++ for sarge with a high priority upload.  Should that happen,
I will re-enable aRts support in unstable after sarge releases, of course.

Thus, this call for help.  So, please, if you like aRts and would like to
have it supported natively in sarge's TiMidity, test the new TiMidity++
packages in sid and report back.

Note that due to aRts long standing bugs, aRts auto-detection has been
removed from the TiMidity++ 2.13.2-3 package, so you have to tell TiMidity
to use aRts manually (give it the -OR switch, or configure it accordingly
in /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg).

I am especially interested in these tests:
  1. Does it work at all if you tell it to use aRts (timidity -OR) ?
  2. Does it work if you stop the playback for some time (above your
 aRts automatic suspend timeout, tipically 60s) and start playing
 again?
  3. If you give it a few MIDI/MOD files, does it work when you tell it
 to skip to the next file while still playing the previous file?
 Even if you are using the GTK+ interface (timidity -ig -OR) ?
  4. Does it work in ALSA synt mode at all with aRts output
 (timidity -iA -OR, you will need to feed it MIDI files through the
  ALSA sequencer using rosegarden, or pmidi, or something like that)?

If some aRts enthusiasts would be so kind as to email me offering their help
in testing further TiMidity aRts fixes, I am sure I could bring TiMidity aRts
support up to par with the native ALSA support (hint: aRts is severely
crippled on TiMidity upstream if you compare it to native ALSA, and nobody
upstream is working on it at all).

You are right, the tarball contains the files:

readme.txt 
flahsplayer-installer (a bash script)
flashplayer.xpt
libflashplayer.so

Finaly Sergio gave me the trick with swf-player which works fine for me. 

(Warning, it is still alpha and perhaps it will not work fine for others 
users ).

Since you say "any suggestions", I've had no problems with xine, other
than that I have to download the playlist file rather than streaming
directly.  I've had good results with the following:

xine `grep rtsp unnamed`

where "unnamed" is the name that Firefox gives to the playlist.

The latest alsa packages should handle this for you correctly
provided you set up /etc/modprobe.d/sound as follows (where your sound
card driver name should be substituted for 'snd-cs46xx'):

alias snd-card-0 snd-cs46xx
alias sound-slot-0 snd-cs46xx
install snd-cs46xx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-cs46xx &&
/usr/lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-cs46xx

(Beware: the last line may be wrapped by my mail composer.)

alsaconf should set up /etc/modprobe.d/sound for you correctly.

1. OK. I took out the numerical argument. It either defaults to 0 or does not 
need it to store/restore everyting.

2. The restore script had:
  if  msg("alsactl restore ."); then ...
I changed that to:
 if  alsactl restore ; then
This works.

So from where came the 2 and why the msg() function?

The main apache2 config is /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, but additional
configuration is added by files residing in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled,
including the default to apache2-default.

The general idea is that overall config stuff sits in apache2.conf, while
individual sites (virtual domains) get set up in
/etc/apache2/sites-available with sym-links to sites-enabled.

So .. they are there. These take a numerical argument and would be repeated 
for each numbered audio card. Mine had argument 2 which corresponded to an 
mpu401 interface. Hardly audio. The one supported audio card is card 0 
according to /proc/asound/cards. So I changed it--see what happens.

How did the 2 get there?

Save/restore ALSA mixer settings

[David Baron]

A long time bug in recent kernels: Mixer settings have not been saved/restored 
and everything comes up very silent.

I looked at the script. There are two functions in it to do this. They go 
through all the motions except  there are no actual calls to alsamixer or 
anything like it. In other words, nothing doing.

What two calls should I put in here to get the mixer setting saved and 
restored?

IIRC Helixplayer don't have the realplayer codecs, maybe you're trying
to play some streming media...

Why does mplayer no longer play Car Talk?

[Adam Funk]

I used to use mplayer from the console successfully to 
listen to the Car Talk radio show.
http://www.cartalk.com/Radio/Show/online.html

As shown below, it now fails with a missing codec, but 
I have not removed any packages from my system.  Any 
suggestions for getting it to work again would
be appreciated.

Thanks,
Adam

Java Variants.

[Katipo]

Hello,
I've been trying out a number of editors for doc writing: conglomerate, 
mlview - for xml, quanta for html, and mucking round with other bits and 
pieces, some work to some degree.
In the end I've installed this:-

http://www.jedit.org/
which isn't strictly a debian package, and being java based, I tried it 
out with kaffee only to have it segfault, so now I have to install a 
java variant (Blackdown 1.4, I am assuming) on my completely free sarge 
machine.

So, the question is, what is the appropriate line to add in 
/etc/apt/sources.list?
Is anybody else running this?
Thanks for any info.
Regards,

David.

oddity with find -exec grep -i

[Chris Evans]

Perhaps I am looking straight through things, if so, I'm sorry.  I 
have effectively a one liner shell script that I want to run to see 
if any text (typically an Email address) is in any file named "users" 
in any directory below a particular directory, easy I thought:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/find /usr/lib/ecartis/lists/ -name users -print  \
  -exec grep --ignore-case "$1" {} \; | grep -B 1 "$1"

That little file works fine (the original has the second line all in 
one but seemed best to break it for this post).  The only thing is 
that whether I put "--ignore-case" or "-i" it doesn't ignore case.  I 
have a "David.hardy" in one file.  If I search for that it finds it 
perfectly, but if I put "david.hardy", it doesn't.  I've looked at 
man and info and books and I give up and throw myself to the tender 
mercies of the many gurus of this list!  What am I doing wrong?!

Running Debian stable uname -r:
2.4.18-1-k6
uname -m 
i586
bash:
2.05a.0(1)-release (i386-pc-linux-gnu)

TIA

That is not available in Sieve yet, not even on 2.2 CVS.  It will be, in a
few months I think.

Sure, filter them before they get to Cyrus.  If you want to do all decision
making with Sieve, make sure the filters add headers you can test against.

I'll be sure to file a bugreport, but in the meantime please don't
change subject lines if there is no good reason for it. I believe this
is just common sense. Especially in the case of this discussion where
the subject change didn't really have much to do with a shift in the
subject of the conversation.

greets,
Wim
