getting going with midi
I have an audigy card and pmidi installed. I can play wav, mpeg, etc. files etc. using applications such as gxine and xmms. However, I would now like to play a .midi file. I have pmidi installed. To find the available ports I do: $ pmidi -l Port Client name Port name 64:0 Audigy MPU-401 (UART) - RawmidAudigy MPU-401 (UART) 64:32Audigy MPU-401 (UART) - RawmidAudigy MPU-401 #2 I have a symlink /dev/midi --> /dev/midi00. The midi00 is 660 root:audio. User is in the audio group. So then I'd assume this command should play a midi file: $ pmidi -p 64:0 filename.midi But instead, it just hangs with no sound out.

If you noticed, the output from apt-cache that Steve quoted showed two packages for unpacking .rar files. One was unrar-free, which you tried and the other was 'unrar'. If you do an "apt-cache show unrar-free" it will also mention that the non-free version of unrar can unpack .rar files =>3.0. You might want to apt-get install unrar (and rar while you're at it, if you have any need to pack .rar files) and see if it works better for you.

Changed the configuration to have one name. No result. Thought it would have something to do with the user accounts numbering, but as it is root who's mounting (which is 0). The system shouldn't get confused with user rights. Not sure though. The client is my router, mail server, runs bind, dhcp, and netfilter. It should have complete access, back and forth to the lan.

I had the same problem. I am using a asus k8v-x motherboard Specifications: CPU 754-pin socket supports AMD Sempron CPU (754-pin socket) or Athlon 64 processor. System Bus 800MHz. Chipset VIA K8T800, VIA VT8237. Memory 3 x 184-pin DIMM Sockets support max. 3GB un-buffered ECC and non-ECC PC3200/PC2700 / PC2100 DDR SDRAM memory. Expansion Slots 1 x AGP 8X, 5x PCI. Storage South Bridge, 2 x ATA133, 2 x SATA, RAID0, RAID1. Audio ADI AD1980, 6-channel CODEC, S/PDIF out interface. I had the same kernel message. I switched back to the linux-image-2.6.12-1-k7 which works fine. There must be something wrong with this kernel. It also gave me video problems. I use a xfx nvidia 6600gt video card. It does not work with the proprietary nvidia drivers .7667. the nvidia modules compile but give all sorts of errors and hang my X I am running sid.

This is a more general problem, not particularly related to java. Actually, there's two ways to fix this, a good one and an easy one -- the latter one first: Generally, at the risk of sounding repetitive: try "eval" if your shell command doesn't behave as expected... :) (see my recent post http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/12/msg00590.html -- not saying you should've read it, just to make clear what I'm referring to) A simple example: ARGS="foo bar >stdout 2>stderr" echo $ARGS is not the same as either of those echo foo bar >stdout 2>stderr or ARGS="foo bar" echo $ARGS >stdout 2>stderr If you want it to be the same, you have to write ARGS="foo bar >stdout 2>stderr" eval echo $ARGS >From this it follows that the trivial way to fix your redirection problem would be to either write ARGS="-Xmx256M -jar jsyncmanager.jar --server" ... start-stop-daemon -Sbm -p $PIDFILE -c $APPUSER -d $APPDIR -x "/usr/bin/java" -- $ARGS 2>>/home/jsync/out2.txt or ARGS="-Xmx256M -jar jsyncmanager.jar --server 2>>/home/jsync/out2.txt" ... eval start-stop-daemon -Sbm -p $PIDFILE -c $APPUSER -d $APPDIR -x "/usr/bin/java" -- $ARGS Although this would probably work in your specific case, the ugly thing about it is, that redirection here does apply to the entire start-stop-daemon command, not only to the java command being run. If the start-stop-daemon were to write anything on stderr, it would also end up in out2.txt. OTOH, as you probably know, redirection operators like ">>" always need a shell to be interpreted. Yet, the start-stop-daemon itself is not executing stuff via some subshell (it uses the system call execve(2)). So, as you have it now, the last argument just gets passed through to java, as the verbatim string "2>>/home/jsync/out2.txt", and java simply doesn't know what to do with it... To do it properly, you'll have to use a seperate dedicated shell, for example like this APPDIR="/usr/jsyncmanager" APPUSER="jsync" EXE=/usr/bin/java ARGS="-Xmx256M -jar jsyncmanager.jar --server" JCMD="exec $EXE $ARGS 2>>/home/jsync/out2.txt" PIDFILE="/var/run/jsyncmanager.pid" # Carry out specific functions when asked to by the system case "$1" in start) echo "Starting jsyncmanager" start-stop-daemon -Sbm -p $PIDFILE -c $APPUSER -d $APPDIR -x $EXE -a /bin/sh -- -c "$JCMD" ... The remaining ugliness is that the name of the process would be reported as "/usr/bin/java", which is not most informative, e.g. $ /etc/init.d/jsyncmanager start Starting jsyncmanager /usr/bin/java already running. One way to work around this would be to create a dummy link /usr/bin/jsyncmanager -> /usr/bin/java, and then specify this as the executable. --- Almut, I think it makes sense but wow, that is subtle. I'll experiment and let you know how this goes. The quick and dirty way is what I will try to get going as the purpose of the stderr file is to identify problems, and not to look pretty (catch start-stop-daemon messages) So big thanks.

Normally the wallet manager is there if there is an active wallet request, such as opening your personal banking webpage.

KWallet Manager docs also say that "A system tray icon indicates that a
wallet is open." What is the system tray? I can't find a definition or
an example image.

Need basic help with KDE Wallet
I was confronted recently with a request for the password of my KDE Wallet.
I didn't know I had one. I guessed my logon password for Debian, but that
didn't seem to work ("seem" because I had no idea why the request was made,
or by what module). I decided to try to undersand, but I am confused.
The KDE documentation describes a "KWallet Manager", but that offers
instructions
which I cannot follow without some help. For example, under heading
"The KWallet Manager Context Menu", the first line is:
Right clicking on a wallet offers the following functions:
This seems to inply that a wallet is represented by a visible icon, but I
can't find one to right-click on. What am I missing?
The KDE control center tells me that there already exists a wallet named
"kdewallet" and gives me an opportunity to create a new wallet. But it
does not seem to give me access to this wallet. How do I learn the contents
of a wallet? Again, I think there must be an icon somewhere, but I can't
find it.
The KDE Wallet Manager seems to have the file name kwallet. I can find this
in the settings menu, but clicking on it doesn't seem to start anything.
Or maybe it starts and aborts too quickly for me to see. How do I start
KWallet Manager independent of a specific wallet? Is this a meaningful
question within the KDE conceptual universe?
If it is very obvious, please be gentle.

Kernel 2.6.14-2-k7 and Nforce2 audio problems
Howdy list, I recently apt-get installed linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7 so that I would have a recent enough kernel for udev (running Debian Unstable). Yes, I'm just now trying to take the plunge and upgrade to udev. But before I could start learning udev, I found the 2.6.14 kernel isn't loading the drivers for my sound card properly. The sound card is part of the motherboard, which uses an Nforce2 chipset. In the 2.6.9 kernel I had been running, the Nforce2 audio is supported by the snd_intel8x0 module. But when hotplug tries to load the snd_intel8x0 module at boot time or I try to modprobe it manually, I get these errors[0]. It doesn't seem to make a difference whether I have other snd_ modules loaded or not (such as snd_ac97_codec). Does anyone have any suggestions for a way to fix this, or is this a bug in the 2.6.14 kernel?

This is a more general problem, not particularly related to java. Actually, there's two ways to fix this, a good one and an easy one -- the latter one first: Generally, at the risk of sounding repetitive: try "eval" if your shell command doesn't behave as expected... :) (see my recent post http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/12/msg00590.html -- not saying you should've read it, just to make clear what I'm referring to) A simple example: ARGS="foo bar >stdout 2>stderr" echo $ARGS is not the same as either of those echo foo bar >stdout 2>stderr or ARGS="foo bar" echo $ARGS >stdout 2>stderr If you want it to be the same, you have to write ARGS="foo bar >stdout 2>stderr" eval echo $ARGS >From this it follows that the trivial way to fix your redirection problem would be to either write ARGS="-Xmx256M -jar jsyncmanager.jar --server" ... start-stop-daemon -Sbm -p $PIDFILE -c $APPUSER -d $APPDIR -x "/usr/bin/java" -- $ARGS 2>>/home/jsync/out2.txt or ARGS="-Xmx256M -jar jsyncmanager.jar --server 2>>/home/jsync/out2.txt" ... eval start-stop-daemon -Sbm -p $PIDFILE -c $APPUSER -d $APPDIR -x "/usr/bin/java" -- $ARGS Although this would probably work in your specific case, the ugly thing about it is, that redirection here does apply to the entire start-stop-daemon command, not only to the java command being run. If the start-stop-daemon were to write anything on stderr, it would also end up in out2.txt. OTOH, as you probably know, redirection operators like ">>" always need a shell to be interpreted. Yet, the start-stop-daemon itself is not executing stuff via some subshell (it uses the system call execve(2)). So, as you have it now, the last argument just gets passed through to java, as the verbatim string "2>>/home/jsync/out2.txt", and java simply doesn't know what to do with it... To do it properly, you'll have to use a seperate dedicated shell, for example like this APPDIR="/usr/jsyncmanager" APPUSER="jsync" EXE=/usr/bin/java ARGS="-Xmx256M -jar jsyncmanager.jar --server" JCMD="exec $EXE $ARGS 2>>/home/jsync/out2.txt" PIDFILE="/var/run/jsyncmanager.pid" # Carry out specific functions when asked to by the system case "$1" in start) echo "Starting jsyncmanager" start-stop-daemon -Sbm -p $PIDFILE -c $APPUSER -d $APPDIR -x $EXE -a /bin/sh -- -c "$JCMD" ... The remaining ugliness is that the name of the process would be reported as "/usr/bin/java", which is not most informative, e.g. $ /etc/init.d/jsyncmanager start Starting jsyncmanager /usr/bin/java already running. One way to work around this would be to create a dummy link /usr/bin/jsyncmanager -> /usr/bin/java, and then specify this as the executable. Also, in case you're still having problems, make sure the java-related environment settings are identical to what you have when you run the command normally...

I've never had any problem like that except when installing gpm and
before making the change in xorg.conf or XF86Config[-4]
('Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"' -- well documented in the archive here
and elsewhere) and of course the configuration in /etc/gpm.conf (usually
something like 'device=/dev/input/mice' and 'repeat_type=ms3')
.
So, a slightly random thought:
a) are you sure you haven't installed gpm? If so check the two
configuration files.
b) If it is not installed, how about trying installing it and adjusting
the configuration files. I can't imagine why it would be better, but
it costs little effort to try.

Jumpy Mouse on Sarge W/ 2.6 Kernel
I've seen a number of posts and comments about this on the web, but I haven't found anything yet that actually provides an answer of what to do. I've seen references to solving the problem, but those that mention a solution never actually give one. I have a system with PS/2 connectors for the mouse and the keyboard. I tried installing Sarge with the 2.6 kernel, and the mouse movement was inconsistent and jumped all over the place. I tried booting Knoppix with a 2.6 kernel and got the same thing. After a lot of research I found out that there was a change in the 2.6 kernel in how it handles a PS/2 mouse. I bought a PS/2 -> USB converter for the keyboard and mouse and tried that. It worked, mostly, but it kept firing in extra characters from the keyboard -- often repeating endlessly the last character I typed or sometimes firing off random characters. I finally had to go with a 2.4 kernel, but soon I'll be re-installing my workstation and I'd like to run Sid on the workstation and use all the new toys. (Yes, I know -- I'm going to install a partition on the workstation with Sarge for when Sid is broken.) I've read that there is at least one fix for using a PS/2 mouse on a 2.6 kernel, but, as I said, I can't find the actual fix. Any help here on getting a PS/2 mouse to behave on 2.6? Thanks!

cdrecord and md5sum of the CD and of iso image
If I use the "-dao" option while buring a CD using cdrecord, I get a md5sum match between the iso I burned and the CD device: $> cdrecord blank=fast -v -eject -dao dev=/dev/hdd data.iso However, if I do not use the "-dao" option, the md5sum of /dev/hdd and the iso image do not match, moreover, "md5sum /dev/hdd" actually terminates with an I/O error. Then I came upon this page which explains the -pad and padsize options: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/coasterless.htm It appears that using "-pad padsize=63s" works partially, since even though I get an md5sum from the /dev/hdd device, but it doesn't match the iso I burned: $> cdrecord -v -eject padsize=63s -pad -dao dev=/dev/hdd data.iso Apparently, using -pad and padsize is supposed to give a more universally readable CD. Can somebody shed some more light on this? I am not familiar with the pad options. Why do they change the md5sum of the CD? And would the CD still work? So far, just -dao has worked perfectly for me.

The package name is often not very obvious. Andrei Simo Damn, i had a feeling i only missed it :) and i realy went twice through the reference manual (not thoroughly but still...). A tool like aptitude had to have something like this. I should have searched for 'description' :) Andrei -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

usb drive mounting
Hi, I just did an apt-get upgrade for the first time in about 6 months. It all went fine until I tried to mount a key drive as a user. I got the error: /dev/fatflash is not a valid block device This is my fstab /dev/fatflash /mnt/memstick vfatrw,user,noauto 0 0 ls /dev lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9 Dec 10 23:00 fatflash -> /dev/sda1 brwxrwxrwx 1 root disk 8, 1 Mar 15 2002 sda1 I fixed it by changing fstab to : /dev/sda1 /mnt/memstick vfatrw,user,noauto 0 0 But my question is why can I not mount from symbolic links now? Has this been changed for a reason? Thanks -- Glenn Meehan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The command 'man 5 fstab' will answer all these questions.

You can do that. In addition to the man page of fstab, the man page of
smbmount ('man 8 smbmount') will help.

No package signature check for specific repository
Hello list, I'm using debian unstable and the main debian unstable repositories to update my system. I have added the ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ repository to my sources.list file. Works great, but every time I deal with apt-get or aptitude I get notified: "W: GPG error: ftp://ftp.nerim.net sid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907" I want to turn off gpg check fot that particular respository, is that possible? thanks in advance, Georgi Alexandrov -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
