Oh! Thankyou KS. My stupidness!

To make it working I need to make shadow file readable to 
all. Is there any better way than that.

Thank you very much.

Hi Raju,
I'd do:
perl transpose-matrix.pl temp.dat > temp.cvs
use gnuplot on temp.cvs to make graph.

have you RTFM to make sure you can not fiddle with gnuplot to do this or maybe 
ask on a
gnuplot ML?

Hi David,
package A contains x and package B contains x
package A is in Debian kde
package B is in Alioth kde
but the Alioth kde was not setup to upgrade from Debian kde perfectly.
It may have in the past, but not at the moment.
if you force the installation of kdeedu-data and konq-plugins, this will
either solve the problem or will make things worse. If not, then you
would have not back out of Alioth kde, install Debian kde and either
wait for Debian kde to catchup or wait for Alioth kde to be fixed.

the command would be:

dpkg --force-overwrite --install .deb

After this you would need to 'apt-get -f install' and then try to
continue installing what ever was missing in kde.

Hi Kevin,
while someone on this list (Hi Roberto) may be able to help, this

Mounting XFS with user_xattr on Debian linux-image-2.6.12-1-686-smp not working?

it's not a valid option, e.g.

Is the user_xattr flag disabled already for XFS in Debian's 2.6.12 kernel image?

oocalc does not directly import .dat files

[kamaraju kusumanchi]

Hi all
  My problem could be that I am using wrong software to do this. So I 
will explain the problem and tell how I am currently doing it. If there 
are better alternatives (read as less keystrokes) I would like to use it.


Let's say I print three arrays of data using a fortran 90 program (or 
any other high level language for that matter).



0.1   0.2   0.3
0.4   0.5   0.6
0.7   0.8   0.9

First row contains the first array, second row contains second array, 
third row contains third array. This way I just have to write one 
function to print the array and call it three times with different 
arguments.


But if I want to visualize this data using gnuplot (my favorite plotting 
tool), I have to print the data as


0.1   0.4   0.7
0.2   0.5   0.8
0.3   0.6   0.9

so that I can plot first column vs second column etc., This is so 
because, gnuplot supports plotting only columns.


So now I have to find a software which will transpose the data file. I 
thought oocalc can do it. But my data files usually have a .dat 
extension (not .csv extension). So If I do


oocalc temp.dat

then it will be loaded in oowriter which is not what I intend to do.

So my questions are

1) Is there any other plotting tool which can plot across rows?
2) If this software is not gnuplot, any comparison with gnuplot would be 
very helpful in choosing it over gnuplot.
3) Is there any other spreadsheet program which has builtin capability 
to transpose the data? and load the .dat files and save them as .dat 
files even after manipulation (ie no complicated xml format just pure 
numbers and spaces)?
I can always write a script/program to do this (by python or Fortran 90 
etc.,) But a GUI program like spread sheet would be nice. I am looking 
for an easy interface.

4) Any other relevant suggestions are also welcome.

thanks in advance
raju

To me it quite strange. Did it on vanilla postfix; but here, on Debian, it

has decided to make it simpler. But actually, it is worse: in the full
main.cf the comments are most helpful. Here it even takes quite some time

Can someone explain why this is so strange ?

Furthermore, I do need transport maps and stuff. But the Debian install
seems to not have it.

What am I missing ? Or is postfix on Debian screwed up ? I can't believe
so !


Postfix is not one single package. For example I have (dpkg-query --

postfix2.1.5-9A high-performance mail transport agent
postfix-doc2.1.5-9Postfix documentation
postfix-mysql  2.1.5-9MYSQL map support for Postfix
postfix-pcre   2.1.5-9PCRE map support for Postfix

You can check http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html for main.cf options.

http://packages.debian.org/ is also good for finding out what packages 
debian has in one/all releases.

Broken /var filesystem

[David A. Cobb]

I found a huge problem with my /var filesystem.  Or, at least, fsck was 
going to take all day and more fixing 11 inode block numbers each pass.  
It's supposed to be possible to clean /var, or at least FHS suggests 
so.  And it was messing me up horribly anyway.  So, I re-initialized /var.


One of the things that vanished, of course, is dpkg/apt's memory of what 
is installed.  Right now, dpkg doesn't think dpkg is installed!  
Everything runs, until it needs to refer to the database. 

I googled around, and found some similar reports.  The proposed cure 
involved installing 'mawk' and 'dpkg' with '--force-depends.'  Then I 
should be able to re-install libc6, on which nearly everything depends.


However, before I can get to that point, I get " unable to create 
updated files list file for package mawk: No such file or directory".  
So, it looks as though I need to manually re-create at least one more 
directory.
I checked the "contents.gz" files, but they only mention files that are 
actually present in the tarball, not those created by the installation 
scripts.  I think, if I can get past this, I can get dpkg to re-install 
itself and that will cure whatever other things are destroyed.


Can anyone identify what directories and files dpkg requires to exist?

TIA

That problem again. :-(

You have to change the line in /etc/apt/sources.list from

 deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main

to 

 deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main


Then you get a newer version of mplayer-586.

I forced the dri packages to install over Xorg due to conflicting files. Direct
rendering works for me. Didn't have time yet to see how to work with debian's
Xorg directly.

Direct Rendering with Debian Xorg

[David Baron]

I had been using the dri-trunk packages over xfree for a while to enable DRI 
on my ATI mach64 clunker. These dri-trunk packages intalled over xfree but 
were in fact xorg based but the xorg would not load so I continued with xfree 
and it ran fine this way.

I recently went over to Xorg off Sid. Easiest upgrade imaginable. This Xorg 
supercedes the dri-trunk packages. I replaced these with xlibmesa and the DRM 
off the DRI project's CVS. After minor surgery over gcc version "magic" 
conflicts, got the DRM modules to load up fine. Direct rendering does not 
work.

Has anyone had success with this and can point me in the right direction. (The 
dri-trunk packages are no longer maintained--I even tried putting them back 
but it still did not work so something in the Xorg itself?)

Re: Re:SOLVED- *.deb & *.udeb files

[Joe Smith]

More information just to explain the scope of udebs:
Micro-debs are used by the installer to create a mini-debian system on the 
ramdisk so that utilities needed to partion the disk, create filesystems, 
and install the real packages are available.


Under normal circumstances the contents of a udeb are never installed to a 
harddrive. dpkg is used by debian-installer to install real debs to the hard 
drive.

The %3a is an html URL encoded ':' character.  It means the package
has an epoc in the version number.  The version is really 4:3.3.2-4
and the colon is escaped.  This won't be your problem.  The filename
in your cache is encoded to avoid name collisions with other versions
with a different epoc.  But in the main archive the name will not
include the epoc and the collision will be avoided by the ftpmaster.

The KDE packages have a complex set of dependencies.  I often see APT
confused such as you are seeing in trying to transition from one
bundle of packages to the next KDE bundle.  A short time ago I posted
the following note to the debian-kde list.  And it generated some
strong disagreement from at least one person who responded.

  http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2005/07/msg00024.html 

But I think the advice I gave there I would give again here.  Because
APT is finding a different solution than the one you want I would lead
it carefully through the process of getting from one to the other.
Because it is so easy to install and remove software I would remove
the existing problem packages and simplify the problem for APT.  Then
install the new packages from the new depot.

I always do KDE upgrades from a text console.  Because I am going to
be replacing KDE and don't want to be running it at the time.

However I would probably modify those previous instructions somewhat.
Especially in your case where you have a mixed set of versions it will
not apply directly to you.

  KDEVER=$(dpkg --status kdelibs4 | awk '/^Version:/{print$2}')
  grep-status -F Version $KDEVER | grep-dctrl -F Status -s Package -n -r 
"^install"

That will return a list of installed packages that match the present
version number of kdelibs4.  Normally all of KDE would have the same
version.  In your particular case because you have partially upgraded
they won't all be the same.  You would want to find the version number
of the old packages that you had installed previously that you now
want upgraded.  I save that to "file-listing-pkgs-to-remove" to be
used with dpkg manually.

I manually remove the packages that I know I want upgraded.  In
extreme cases, and that is what we are talking about here, I remove
the previous packages with 'dpkg --purge --force-depends packagename'
and then run 'apt-get install -f' to install any now missing
dependencies from the new depot.  Then 'apt-get install kde' the new
KDE from the new depot.  Because I removed the problem packages APT is
no longer confused by them and can proceed with a normal upgrade and
install.

  dpkg --purge --force-depends $(

I run testing and I installed it around 3-4 days ago from the marrillat

Note that I use also the repositories of unstable with an apt-pinning
allowing me to take package in unstable only if they aren't available
into testing, that might do the difference.

To make Firefox (and other gtk applications) look like KDE
applications use this package:

gtk2-engines-gtk-qt

You can then change the setting in the KDE control centre. To change
the fonts in Firefox, use the Edit menu:

Edit / Preferences / General / Fonts & Colours

I think what may have been implied was hard disk encryption in which an entire 
partition is transparently encrypted. (This can be done with dmcrypt or 
loop-AES.) (An easy-to-setup option would be to encrypt /tmp, and send all 
non-encrypted plaintext to there before re-encrypting and saving elsewhere; 
this is easily done with the cryptsetup 
package--read /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/???. Swap could become dangerous, but 
that, too, is easily fixed with the same package.)

the problem is not of configuration of your modem, I
think the problem is with your carrier or something
like that.


Hi - yours didn't make any difference. The modem goes 'off hook' for 
less than a sec and then everything just sits there. ie it is as if it's 
not even listening for dial tone before attempting to dial.


I also note that if I then reboot into WinXP it has modem troubles until 
I reboot into XP again...


Most confusing - I would have put it down to the modem but if you've the 
same that can't be right so maybe it's the system? I'm running 
'unstable' - you?

Re: Apt-Get is Not Working (Was Upgrading KDE)

[David R. Litwin]

> You've gone beyond the official Debian repositories; expect breakage.

I installed kde from Alioth once before and it worked perfectly. But,
I understand that I should expect some breakage, despite KDE now being
at 3.4.2. But, some times, a bit of risk is needed in life, yes?

I think I actually know what the problem is: Debian Sarge is telling
apt-get (or aptitude) to install these two packages: kdeedu-data and
konq-plugins. However, both of these packages have been replaced (by
kdebase-data and kdelibs-data respectively). So, what I really need to
do is tell either apt-get or aptitude to stop trying to install them:
they will not work because they have been replaced.

I tried a hold (?) with =, but that didn't seem to solve the problem.

Have you any suggestions?

I thank you kindly in advance.

When did you last upgrade it?  Do you run Unstable?  When I try to install
Mplayer I get this:

  toncho/~ 5 sudo apt-get install mplayer-586
  Reading Package Lists... Done
  Building Dependency Tree... Done
  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
  requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
  distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
  or been moved out of Incoming.

  Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
  the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
  that package should be filed.
  The following information may help to resolve the situation:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mplayer-586: Depends: libbio2jack0 but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libjack0.80.0-0 (>= 0.99.0) but it is not installable
 Depends: slang1 (> 1.4.9dbs-4) but 1.4.5-1 is to be installed
  E: Broken packages


Leading to this:


  toncho/~ 5 sudo apt-get install libjack0.80.0-0
  Reading Package Lists... Done
  Building Dependency Tree... Done
  Package libjack0.80.0-0 has no available version, but exists in the database.
  This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
  never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
  of sources.list
  E: Package libjack0.80.0-0 has no installation candidate

Re: how to check if its system bootup

Hi!

I wonder if there is a way to check at an init.d script, if it is system
bootup, or the user just executing the the script from a console, while 
the

system is already up. Any way to do this?

Thanks!
Why would you want to do this? In general if a user is running the script 
with an argument of start it is for a very good reason such as manual 
booting, and should be treated the same as automatic booting.

Unfortunately that won't work.  The runlevel when the init scripts are 
being executed is the same runlevel that the system will be running in.

I'll present three options here.  Each one has issues which I will note.  
The list of issues is probably not exhaustive :)

Option 1: Check to see if the shell is interactive.

The PS1 environment variable is set if the shell is interactive. A problem 
here is that a shell executed from cron and changing the state of a 
service would probably look just like a shell involved in the bootup.  A 
crafty user could also fool this by deliberately making the shell 
non-interactive.  This may not be a big deal.

Option 2: Check to see if the shell has a tty attached to STDIN.

Use the "tty" command for this.  A problem here is that a shell executed 
from cron and changing the state of a service would probably look just 
like a shell involved in the bootup.

Option 3:  Checking the state of the system through signature files

Some files do get added and removed during bootup.  You could research 
files which are present during the service start but not present later.  
This is problematic as these files may vary from release to release and 
across different distros.

Apparently youre using the Marrillat packages, right? I noticed the same
thing and then I ask him why SSE was disabled, he answered me that it
possibly increase the number of crashes of mplayer at the moment and
that it would probably not give an speed increase when playing or
encoding.

You can it a whirl if you want by downloading the sources packages and
modifying the building scripts. I tried to do so but the packaging of
mplayer done by Marrillat is extremaly complex as it check what's
installed on your computer to determines how to build the packages...

Personally I am fine with it and I trust his decisions. At least it
works like that and does it well.

Would you mind providing your ldap configuration files and/or some

Re: OT: Wireless questions

[Yuriy Kuznetsov]

Hi David,

Just couple words about wireless equipment you can deploy for your
home wireless network.
With wireless PCI card you would get small(around 5dBi) antenna which
would be at the back of your server. If your server is far at the back
of the house(mine is in the garage, for example) your chances in
getting stable signal is very low.
I would suggest to go for Linksys WRT54GS unit. The beauty of this AP
is that you can flash it with community firmware(see www.openwrt.org)
and you would have nice powerful AP fully compatible with Linux(the
openwrt firmware came from Debian, I reckon). And, of course, with
Linux on your WRT you can put firewall, etc. Then you are free to
connect it anywhere you like on your network.

Cheers,
Yuriy

Postfix configuration

[Uwe Dippel]

To me it quite strange. Did it on vanilla postfix; but here, on Debian, it
is quite strange to me.
Usually I expect plenty of config files in /etc/postfix; with many options
in main.cf. In Debian, there are very little. I understand that someone
has decided to make it simpler. But actually, it is worse: in the full
main.cf the comments are most helpful. Here it even takes quite some time
and google to remember how to deliver to Maildir/.

Can someone explain why this is so strange ?

Furthermore, I do need transport maps and stuff. But the Debian install
seems to not have it.

What am I missing ? Or is postfix on Debian screwed up ? I can't believe
so !

samba? apparently not on debian3.1

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

I now have the debian 3.1 box mounted as a samba share on this 
machine.

But I still cannot mount any of the other machines on this home 
network as samba shares on the debian-3.1 box.

My mount script should mount 7 shares, but instead returns this:
smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported
smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported
smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported
smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported

smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported
smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported

Which is more than 7, but dmesg doesn't timestamp.

Is this a known problem with the 'mount' command supplied with 
debian-3.1?

config of sarge 3.1r0a

[Adrian]

Hi,
Using a base DELL GX150 bought very cheap, 128 Mbyte RAM the
 20GByte HD partioned as:-
/boot   16.4 Mb 
/swap   501.7Mb 
/   9Gb Reiser
/home   2Gb Reiser
/usr2Gb Reiser
/var1Gb Reiser
/tmp1Gb Reiser
/usr/local 4Gb  Reiser

which was partly following install suggestions, attempted several times 
over a 3 week period tedious with 15 CDs. Each time the graphics card
failed to be recognised, though the emergency boot showed that
everything had installed ASFAIK correctly. I suspected the DELL graphics
being nonstandard (typically DELL) but knew that UBUNTU distro had sort
of worked. Using a Knoppix 3.6 live CD gave a good graphics set up so
passed over Knoppix's version of the XF86Config-4 backing up original
Debian's config-hack. Eureka moment! I know I should report this as a
limitation of the install but unsure how to go about it and how much detail
to supply. I have attached both the XF86Configs gzipped as initial data
and though away on contract mid week I can access this mail box at work
and probe the DELL at the Bed & Breakfast for any other info you require,
but might be a week before I can mail anything back.

Regards and thanks,

Adrian Clarke.

Ok, I attach my wvdial.conf, please send yours to see
what is happening, debian already find the modem so
the problem is not of configuration of your modem, I
think the problem is with your carrier or something
like that.

But let's follow up this thread.

Re: Portable OGG Player

[Jochen Schulz]

Steven Pasternak:

> (like iPod,MuVO,etc. NOT software)

If you are after a hard disk player (as opposed to flash memory), I
recommend the already mentioned Iriver H120 (20GB) or the H140 model
(40GB). They are quite robust, run for approx. 16 hours with one charge
and play mp3 (even VBR), ogg and wma. What distinguishes them from
almost all other players is that they come with optical in *and* optical
out. Both sockets can also be used analogously (although, the analog
line out is crap since it is just a second headphone connector).

The device also has a built-in microphone (which picks up the spinning
disk now and then) and an external microphone. It comes with a nice
leather bag and a remote control with backlit display (blue, like the
main screen). To put files on it, just mount it like any other USB
mass-storage device.

If you also want to play flac files (lossless encoding - very good for
sharing and archiving original sources), you can go to
 and grab an alternative "free as is speech"
firmware for it. It doesn't play wma and cannot yet record, but in all
other aspects it is highly superior to the original firmware. I can only
encourage everyone with an H1x0 device to try it.

You only need to flash a patched firmware which gives you some small
boot manager. Then you unzip the rockbox files to the device and reboot.
You still have the original firmware installed and can decide on boot
which one to use. It is really amazing.

The H1x0 series is also relatively cheap these days (got mine for 250
Euros) as there are already newer models (with color displays). But
rockbox doesn't (yet) run on them so if you do not strictly need a color
display (to watch movies on a two inch screen...), you are probably
better off buying an older model. Some online stores (like
) still have them in stock.

Have a look at wikipedia on the page about ogg vorbis, they mention a few
options

The page is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg_Vorbis, a copy of the relevant
part:

* All iRiver harddisk players (except H10 and N10 and 180T) support Ogg Vorbis.
Most of the flash-memory players will play Ogg Vorbis without a firmware
upgrade.

* The Neuros (site) portable player released a firmware upgrade offering
Ogg Vorbis support after a beta testing period in the latter half of 2003.
Firmware versions 1.45 and newer support Ogg Vorbis.

* Rio Karma, an mp3 player which supports both Ogg Vorbis and FLAC.

* The Jens of Sweden MP-130 (site) supports Ogg Vorbis. The Xclef HD800 [2]
supports Ogg Vorbis amongst other formats.

* Cowon iAudio M3 [3], iAudio X5, and iAudio 5 (up to -Q10) [4]

* Samsung YP-60V, and the Samsung YP-MT6 series supports Ogg right out of the
box. Also does the Samsung Yepp YP-T7

* The Muzio JM-200, 250, 300, H1000 (site) all support Ogg Vorbis (through
firmware upgrade for the 200/250 models).

* The Mpeye HTS-200 offers native Ogg Vorbis support (q1- q10) (site)

I shall correct myself to some degree.  I just finished burning a
Ubuntu 5.04 Live CD and hotplugging my Lexar Jump Drive results in not
only a nice icon on the screen but opens a Nautilus window with the
Jump Drive directory contents.  Very nice.

I hope the tricks and techniques will filter into Testing in the near

stuff to be rather fun.  Yet, I appreciate that with Debian I can still
get underneath it all and control it manually if need be.

I'm pretty happy with my Jens of Sweden MP-120, a 1 GB flash player
(also known as i-Bead 170).

It doesn't play some files encoded with Ogg Vorbis from before 1.0, but
they no longer make it hang (as is claimed here and there on the net).

Other than that I find it perfect for my needs, it's small, has no silly
extras like FM tuners, and interfaces to the computer like a perfectly
ordinary USB storage device.

how to check if its system bootup

[LeVA]

Hi!

I wonder if there is a way to check at an init.d script, if it is system 
bootup, or the user just executing the the script from a console, while the 
system is already up. Any way to do this?

Thanks!

I don't know what you mean by "NOT software". Do you mean not 
solid-state? If so, don't read on...


If you go to mp3.com you'll see their Number One recommended player (and 
certainly in terms of sound quality, which within reason is all that 
really matters, right?) is the flash player iAudio U2 from Cowon. This 
now comes in a 2G model - luxury. I'd love one of these, bur while the 
1GB model is 160 dollars in the States, here in England its 300 dollars.

Problem with ldap/pam/ssh, pam_groudn attribute doesn't seem to work.

[Jean-Yves Migeon]

Hi all :)

Currently migrating an old debian system (NIS, samba2 and a couple of
other services), to a new machine mainly configured around LDAP, I
needed some sort of access restriction, mainly to deny access to
particular group of users on certain clients/servers.

So, I created defined groups of users (like admins, printer-admins, and
so on) in ldap, and decided to restrict their access using the
pam_groupdn attribute in /etc/pam_ldap.conf file.

However, it doesn't seem to work as intended.

Authentication works, a "getent passwd" correctly adds users to the
lists (using NSS), but for services like ssh, or login via terminal,
even users that do not belong to the group defined by pam_groupdn
attribute are still able to login.

Here are the config files I'm working with.


/etc/pam.d/ssh

Nevertheless, when logging in, I still get a warning message indicating
that the pam_groupdn attribute does work:

I have no [EMAIL PROTECTED] 18:32:46:~$


As you can see, even when not belonging to the group, I still get
access to the server.

After testing multiple scenarios and options, I ended up with this
line, where the pam_unix module seems to grant access to user, even
when he's not in pam_groupdn group. Quoting it, or turning the control
flag to sufficient, completely blocks authentification via ssh, for
ldap users as for system users, like root.

account required    /lib/security/pam_unix.so


That's all I noticed so far. I couldn't tell if the problem was coming
from the pam_ldap or pam_unix libraries, or, more simple, a
misconfiguration from me ^^

I know I could use some other user access restriction modules (like
pam_wheel), but the pam_groupdn was really THE solution for my case.
Having this configured directly into ldap, and using aliases for ipHost
<> hostname, I could handle all the restriction directly from
pam_ldap.conf, and do not necessarily need to edit all the pam.d/*
files.

Some googling brings up this problem elsewhere too:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-french/2003/11/msg01094.html (2003,
but seems to be the same problem as me)
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-October/061443.html


Right now, I'm stuck with it. If anybody notices some errors in my conf
files, or got this to work properly, I'd be glad to know how they did.

Thanking you in advance for any help you may bring :-) ,

Jean-Yves Migeon.

I am running Debian Sarge (stable  now) which I keep on my timezone.
I checked around and found that timezone info (among other things) is kept
in /etc/default/rcS.
You might want to set it there. If you have tzsetup read its man page or
get it if not.

Hope this helps you.

OT: Wireless questions

[David Purton]

I know, way OT, but I thought I'd pick people's brains on here anyway.

I'm thinking about adding wireless connectivity to my home LAN.

At present it looks like this:

  ++
  | switch |-- wired private network
  ++
   |
 eth0
   |
  +-+
  | debian linux|  ++
  | server/firewall |-- eth1 --| adsl modem |-- internet
  | gateway/router  |  ++
  +-+


What is my best option?

I was thinking of just putting another ethernet card in my server and
getting a wireless access point to attach to it. Then I could only allow
traffic through to/from the wired network through a VPN (probably using
openVPN, since I have used this before and it's easy enough to
configure).

What are the disadvantages of doing it this way?

And what hardware would you recommend to get this setup to play nicely
with linux?

I guess the other option is getting a wireless router which I could
attach to my switch.

How does this compare to using just an access point? Is it better?

Presumably it would be possible to setup the router so that it would
only allow VPN traffic through to my server and block everything else
between the wired and wireless networks - giving equivalent security.

Again what hardware would you recommend? Most wireless routers seem to
include a wired switch as well - which I don't really need.


Thanks for you suggestions,

dc
