network diagnostics
Hi, I recently switched ISP's (was using Qwest DSL, now i'm using M$N through Qwest (my dad did it!)), anyway, ever since the upgrade i am unable to do just about everything except for browse the net/ftp. By that i mean... no MSN, Jabber, Yahoo!, IRC, Bittorrent, various media-streaming, etc. The funny thing is that it all works from my familiy's windoze box. I tried watching the output of tcpdump -i eth0, but everything looked pretty normal (although i'm admittedly unfamiliar w/ those kinds of tools). Anyway, i'd like to get to the bottom of why none of my linux boxes are able to use those services, while the windows boxes still can. This wasn't a problem before the ISP switch. The new DSL modem they gave us though is doing the routing/dhcp/etc. Any tips? Thanks, Cameron Matheson

One interesting thing is that the description of desktop-file-utils shows there being a desktop-menu-tool for manipulating desktop files, but looking at the installed files there doesn't appear to be any such utility.

X.org Translucency Lockup: Should I file a bug?
With the recent move of X.org into testing, I installed it, upgraded KDE to 3.4 from unstable, and proceeded to try out the new stuff. Shadows work great, but as soon as I turn on translucency, the computer locks up hard. Well, I can move the mouse cursor, but that is absolutely it. No keyboard input works at all--can't change VTs, can't restart X. No mouse clicking works. It took several hard resets before I figured out that translucency was the cause. Since these special effects in X.org are known to be somewhat unstable right now, should I file a bug on this, or just wait for a new release? It obviously doesn't have this effect on everyone's system, or else no one would use translucency at all, so perhaps it's an issue with Debian's build of it? Anyway, should I file a bug or just wait? :)

At this time I want to say thank Almut for your help. I got a tipp to
solve this problem from the hylafax mailinglist. It was realy
frustrating,
that I forgot something essential to install.
I'm using the WHCF (Windows Hylafaxclient) and this programm cannot
send word or other documents directly. I forgot to install a windows
printer driver,
that uses the WHCF printing port and is able to print ps documents. I
choosed the "Apple LaserWriter 12/640 ps" printer, which is able to
print ps documents.
The delivery of facsimiles is working without problems so far.
That was the solution of the whole problem. It's a pity that there
where no hints in the log files, but now I can send and receive
facsimiles and I'm very happy that I could solve the problem.

Right, so we at least know this part works. Next thing to check is
whether Hylafax-internal format conversions are performed properly.
Short background info:
c2faxsend (which is the replacement program from the capi4hylafax
package for the program faxsend that comes with Hylafax) accepts
various formats (specified with the -f option), e.g. TIFF -- which
apparently does work, as you just verified. As default (i.e. without
option -f), it expects the HYLAFAX format. Essentially, this is TIFF
too, but some specific sub-variant (details irrelevant here). It's
what Hylafax generates as output. On the input side, Hylafax accepts
Postscript, PDF or TIFF. It uses several tools (ps2fax, pdf2fax,
tiff2fax) to convert those formats to its (HYLA)FAX format. Those
tools in turn rely on other external packages, e.g. ghostscript for
PS and PDF conversions.
See below for what you might want to check.
I used the following command:
alpha:/etc/hylafax# c2faxsend -v -C /etc/hylafax/config.faxCAPI -d 02244** -f TIFF /home/andreas/testfax.tif
Try to connect to fax number 02244** in TIFF mode on controller 1.

".ps" (- Postscript?) part appearing in the tempfile names in the
tiff2fax conversion commandline below ("doc9.ps.9"). However, I'm not

don't have an installation to test -- IOW, the .ps might have nothing

On Debian you can install the 'speedtouch' package which should help configure things. This also includes the 'modem_run' command which is needed for the 2.6.8 kernel supplied with sarge. (I installed the 2.6 kernel because I had no luck getting this to work with 2.4 - however YMMV). Note: The package description says you don't need it for newer kernels - I think it's referring to the fact that you no longer need the command 'modem_run' - but the rest of the package is still useful as it does other things and sorts out the configuration as well. You might need to tweak a few other things, I think I had to but I can't remember what! Check the readme in the speedtouch package and the details on sourceforge.

Installing Sarge on an HP NetServer LH4
Hello everybody, after many problems I finally could install Sarge on an HP NetServer LH4. This server has two SCSI hard disks. The following info was gathered using a Gnome tool (maybe GST) from a previous RedHat installation. Hard disks: two MegaRAID LD0 and LD1 RAID1 17365R. SCSI devices: two 53c895 from LSI Logic/Symbios Logic with driver sym53c8xx; one MegaRAID T5, Integrated HP NetRAID from AMI with driver megaraid. CDROM: one CD-540E I couldn't install Sarge directly. I tried with 2.4 kernel but got an error while executing modprobe -v sym53c8xx_2. As I didn't know what to do I tried also booting with acpi=off and pci=noacpi and also with a parameter which sounded something like sym53c88xx=safe:y. So I the installer couldn't see my HDs. I tried with 2.6 kernel but I got a Kernel panic message. So I installed Woody. I could only install booting with vanilla. But after installation I found that it didn't see my CDROM anymore. So I couldn't upgrade to Sarge. What I did worked for me, but actually I don't know why. I installed devfs (I don't rememeber how I could do this and the exact sequence as I made so many tries...). I installed SCSI emulation for CDROM by adding ide-scsi to /etc/modules, adding append=hda=ide-scsi max_scsi_luns=1 to /etc/lilo.conf, creating a symlink: # rm -f /dev/cdrom # ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom and modifying /etc/fstab accordingly. Then I upgraded from Woody to Sarge by following instructions on the Release Notes for Debian Sarge (Chapter 4). I tried to install a 2.6 kernel but I still got a Kernel panic message. But I can stay with a 2.4 kernel. I also wanted to install root on LVM. But from many tries and from many searches the internet I found that there is no way to do it with Debian (unless you compile your own kernel and I don't want to, at least not now). Essentially it seems to be a problem with lvmcreate_imagerd and cramfs (I got a crams: wrong magic message at boot). So I left / on an ext2 partition and moved only /var to an LVM volume. Although I couldn't do all the things I liked (ie. install Sarge directly, install root on LVM, install a 2.6 kernel) and this installation took me much time, I learned many things (well much more than I knew before:)) and I now have a working Sarge. Furthermore inserting the server on myy company LAN was so easy (thanks to Debian and Gnome tools!!!). But I still don't understand some things. So I have a few questions. May anyone please explain me why what I did worked? Why couldn't I install directly Sarge? What was the best way to do it? Why can't I install a 2.6 kernel? Finally I wish to thank to everybody on this list who helped me answering my questions. Best regards, Marco Ballini

The modem replys to a AT+CPIN? with an error. And it replys with an error to AT+CPIN=, too. Which is correct, if the pin is set, but totally wrong if it isn't.

Is this correct or do I have other chances? That is not correct. You can even use the debian installer to install root on LVM (generic kernel). You probably want to be using lvm2 rather than lvm10 (old). The trick is that /boot must be on it's own partition, and must not be LVM. What version of Debian are you using? I've never tried converting a system to LVM, so I'm not sure I can be of much help in that case, but if you were to start with LVM from a clean install, I think you'd find it pretty straight forward. -davidc -- gpg-key: http://www.zettazebra.com/files/key.gpg signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Thanks! you could get rid of the initrd stuff if support for your hard-disk (and some other things? someone please give a listing here!) is built-in, not module, in your custom kernel A custom kernel probably will be somewhat faster in booting than the ones you get from debian, as you don't need to load so much unused stuff; after that, when running, it just runs its stuff, the same code the debian kernels are running, so you shouldn't feel much difference?

So i copied the original mdadm.conf back and rebooted, and all the raids apart from md7 and md8 started.

CUPS by using KDE print manager from utilities menu, selecting Remote

FWIW I've never managed to setup printing using the KDE print manager;
I've found the CUPS web interface much more reliable.
In your browser address bar type:
http://localhost:631/admin
which will take you to a GUI setup for printers
You will either need to log in as root ro add yourself to the lpadmin
group.

that printed page under installation was the only one working...
One thought, could it be that the test page is printed as root but
ordinary users can't run cups?

Thanks for all your thought, doesn't cure problem. I dropped an memo to

Originally my smb.conf included the following: bind interfaces only = True interfaces = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 socket address = 192.168.1.1 Configurations which worked included adding the Local Interface: bind interfaces only = True interfaces = eth0 lo socket address = 192.168.1.1 127.0.0.1 Or excluding socket address all together bind interfaces only = True interfaces = eth0 lo I had been using this same bind interfaces only and socket address Combo for years, therefore it will require someone more familiar with Samba's inner workings to explain why this problem appeared only after upgrading from 2.2.X to 3.0.X and why it effected ONLY Windows 9x Clients (Windows 2000 and Linux Clients could still connect)???

Re: X.org Translucency Lockup: Should I file a bug?
Hi, I've had the same problem for some time now. It's been a long time since i've played w/ it, but iirc the nvidia (you are using binary like me i'm assuming?) documentation warns that the composite extension is not supported and experimental. Same goes for the RenderAccel option in the xorg.conf. I *think* that for right now it's an issue w/ the stinking binary drivers as opposed to a problem w/ x.org. As has been previously mentioned however, it's really not practical to run w/out the hardware acceleration... Anyway, i think for now we're just kind of stuck waiting for nvidia.

For myself that sort of finishes X.org, since I don't know what it offers beyond what XFree86 does for me. I'd be interested to know if anyone can use Nvidia driver with Nvidia cards and use the options but does not have the problem. And if so what mobo you use.

Problems booting kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7
If I boot the system using kernel 2.6, after the message about starting gdm (GNOME Display Manager), a messy image appears, similar to my desktop background: except for the mouse, everything is blocked. To go on I have to reset: mysteriously, after the reboot I can use kernel 2.6 (sometimes I have to repeat this procedure many times). Kernel 2.4, instead, works fine. Furthermore, it seems that, if I exit (halt or reboot) from a 2.4 session, kernel 2.6 works at the first attempt. I installed the kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7 package after the installation of Debian 3.1 sarge with kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386. I use an AMD Athlon XP 1800+ CPU and an ATI Radeon 7000 graphic card on an ASUS A7V880 motherboard (VIA KT880/VT8237 chipset). Could anybody help me?

Blissex thb: BTW ALSA should not be really compiled in the kernel, there may be problems if it is done like that. thb Blissex: wow! That, I did not know. Very good. Blissex thb: also have a look here: http://alsa.opensrc.org/intel8x0 and the 8x0 subsection of http://tinyurl.com/4ogk2 For the record, Blissex' suggestion seems to have solved my problem. ALSA had failed when recompiled monolithically into my 2.6.8 kernel; but now that I configure ALSA as a set of modules and recompile the kernel again, it seems to work fine. If you encounter a similar problem---if you have recompiled your 2.6 kernel monolithically and the snd_intel8x0 ALSA driver mysteriously produces no sound---try restoring module-loading support, then recompile your kernel again with the ALSA units as loadable modules. Your kernel doesn't need any fancy automatic module handling if you don't want it; basic CONFIG_MODULES and CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD suffice. See the Debian binary package 'kernel-package' and the modprobe(8) manpage for further info. How applicable the advice is to systems having non-intel8x0 sound chips or running non-2.6 kernels, I admit that I do not know; Debian sound is not my area of expertise and I don't know much about it. This post is to report for the list archive what happened to work for me. For the benefit of confused Debian beginners who may stumble upon this post, however, I should observe that unless you have deliberately recompiled your kernel (this does not happen by accident; if you had done it, you would know), the advice probably does not pertain to you. (It may not matter, but to complete the technical report: my specific motherboard is the Intel D845GEBV2L. This motherboard provides sound through an onboard Analog Devices AD1981 chip, which is one of the several chips the snd_intel8x0 ALSA driver drives. The reference OS is Debian 3.1r0a sarge stable.)

cyrus getting slower over time
Hi, I've got a problem with cyrus getting slower over time when checking mail, up to a point where clients start timing out... First cyrus works flawlessly, then it starts responding slower to mailchecking and eventually becomes unusable. After some hours of non use, the problem disappears by itself, so it seems something simply times out after a while, I just can't see what that might be. I'm using cyrus 2.1.18-1 with sasl db and auxprop. I use CRAM-MD5 for logins and have my clients check mail every 15 minutes. in imapd.conf: allowanonymouslogin: no allowplaintext: yes sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb tls_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/cyrus-global.pem tls_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/cyrus-global.key tls_ca_path: /etc/ssl/certs If I switch to plaintext logins the problem doesn't arise so I guess the problem lies there. I've been looking at top and tailing mail.log but can't find anything else but cyrus processes starting, sitting idle for a very long time and exiting I don't know where to look next to find out where the problem lies. Where could I look, other log files? Setting files? Any direction welcome.

Miss Parker: You evidently have forgotten that this was a local and state matter! The Fed Govt. had to have been asked by the Gov. which it was not.

sarge upgrade hosed mysql databases

creating multiple databases with updatedb
Is it possible to create multiple databases with updatedb and which can coexist on the same system? I want to have two databases of which the first is indexed from / and the second is indexed from /home/user . Reading the man page I get the impression that I can have only one at any given point of time. Am I wrong? Is there any other similar program which has this capability?

DELL Inspiron 6000 Disk Detection Wierdness
Hi, Wonder if anyone can help. I've got a new DELL Inspiron 6000 that I'd like to install SARGE 3.1 on. SARGE installer can't detect the h/d. Partitioner during install says nothing partitionable or words to that effect. UBUNTU 5.04 can and detects it as: SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) - ATA HTS726060M9AT00 I'd rather install SARGE than UBUNTU - anyone know how I can tell SARGE installer to detect the h/d?

apache2 and php rendering

I don't think this should be Raw queue -- raw means that any PS code
will be sent through to the printer _as is_. As the HP LJ 1100 cannot
natively handle Postscript, the result is exactly what you described in
your first post: many pages of PS code are being printed verbatim as
plain text, instead of being rendered (via ghostscript).
From taking a peek at the source code of foomatic-rip, it becomes
rather clear that Printer model: Raw queue is only being set when
there's no *FoomaticRIPCommandLine: directive found in the .ppd file:
(...)
} elsif (m!^\*FoomaticRIPCommandLine:\s*\(.*)$!) {
# *FoomaticRIPCommandLine: code
my $line = $1;
(...)
$line =~ m!^([^\]*)\!;
$cmd .= $1;
$dat-{'cmd'} = unhtmlify($cmd);
(...)
# Was the RIP command line defined in the PPD file? If not, we assume a
# PostScript printer and do not render/translate the input data
if (!defined($dat-{'cmd'})) {
$dat-{'cmd'} = cat%A%B%C%D%E%F%G%H%I%J%K%L%M%Z;
if ($dontparse) {
# No command line, no options, we have a raw queue, don't check
# whether the input is PostScript and ignore the docs option,
# simply pass the input data to the backend.
$dontparse = 2;
$model = Raw queue;
}
}
## Summary for debugging
print $logh ${added_lf}Parameter Summary\n;

print $logh Spooler: $spooler\n;
print $logh Printer: $printer\n;
print $logh PPD file: $ppdfile\n;
print $logh Printer model: $model\n;
Typically, for non-PS printers, there's a line such as
*FoomaticRIPCommandLine: gs -q -dBATCH ... ...
in the PPD file. So that's what I would check first. Maybe you have
a messed up PPD file -- for whatever reason. It claims to be reading
/etc/cups/ppd/HPLaserJet1100CUPSv1.1.x.ppd, so obviously that's the
file to look at. Also, could it be that different PPD files are being
used under different circumstances? (which might explain why the test
page from within the wizard did work, but no printing attempts
afterwards...)
