ext3 journal
How does one locate the ext3 journal? In particular I want to be able to for example, remount the partition as ext2, secure-delete the journal, fsck if required, and remount as ext3. Is this feasible? And if so, where exactly is the journal?

Linux or K3B issue???
As a rule I think multiple list posting is inappropriate, but after posting the following on kde-linux it seems to me that the problem may be with the hardware setup in my Debian installation. So I thought I'd at least ask if you-all could note any details regarding what to look for in my optical hardware configuration? Thank you for your patience, Lee C kde-linux post == So you understand I'm at the early learning stage: In the last several days I've expunged MS from the PC on my LAN and installed Debian. Being very happy with my Mac, I went with KDE to allow a somewhat similar desktop. Now it's time to backup what I've done before I screw it up :-) so I also installed K3B to use optical media. In my trials today I've had no problem creating and restoring a data CD, but I can't get K3B to do anything with DVDs. I've tried DVD-R and DVD-RW, and even different brands of each (Verbatim, hp and imation). I hate to use umpteen CDs when one or two DVDs will do the trick :-( I have a Benq 32x10x40 CD R/W in an internal bay (hdc) and a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-103 in another internal bay (hdd). If I load a DVD with contents, K3B lists what is on it and if I load a blank DVD it says it knows that also. I don't know if this is a linux issue or a K3B issue and I'm not sure where to go from here. The applicable errors noted are below. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you, Lee C == The "Writing" window basically says: i Starting writing... x :-( /dev/hdd: unable to proceed with recording: unable to unmount x Fatal error at startup: Device or resource busy and the debug output says: Devices --- PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-103 1.90 (/dev/hdd, ) at /media/cdrom1 [CD-R; CD-RW; CD-ROM; DVD-ROM; DVD-R] [Error] [SAO; TAO] ATAPI CD-R/RW 32X10 T.GA (/dev/hdc, ) at /media/cdrom0 [CD-R; CD-RW; CD-ROM] [Error] [SAO; TAO; RAW; SAO/R16; RAW/R96R] System --- K3b Version: 0.11.20 KDE Version: 3.3.2 QT Version: 3.3.4 Kernel: 2.4.27-2-386 growisofs --- umount: /media/cdrom1: device is busy umount: /media/cdrom1: device is busy :-( /dev/hdd: unable to proceed with recording: unable to unmount growisofs comand: --- /usr/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/hdd -use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -use-the-force-luke=dao -dvd-compat -speed=1 -gui -graft-points -volid K3bDVDtest -volset -appid K3B THE CD KREATOR VERSION 0.11.20 (C) 2003 SEBASTIAN TRUEG AND THE K3B TEAM -publisher -preparer K3b - Version 0.11.20 -sysid LINUX -volset-size 1 -volset-seqno 1 -sort /tmp/kde-leec/k3butIiJb.tmp -rock -hide-list /tmp/kde-leec/k3bjS0Ldc.tmp -full-iso9660-filenames -disable-deep-relocation -iso-level 2 -path-list /tmp/kde-leec/k3bzxeW8b.tmp === -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Regards - Piers Raul wrote: Piers Kittel wrote: Hello all, Am having a problem with my computer not quite relevant to the list (but it runs Debian hey... ;)) but not sure exactly where to ask so I guess this list is better than most. This concerns my computer turning itself off occasionally and refusing to power on unless I move the "Reset CMOS" jumper with the power lead in - it won't work if I move the jumper without the lead plugged in. Anyway. Setup is a Slot 1 motherboard with a P3 666MHz at 133MHz FSB processor, with 256 meg RAM on a single stick, Geforce MX4000 graphics card and an Intel PCI network card. It also has a floppy drive and runs 1 fan - the CPU fan. No hard drive, no optical drives, or anything else. I decided to swop 2 cases over - the above go into a nice case while some "server" (for small values of) hardware go into the ugly case. In the original cases, both computers works just fine. The "server" is an EPIA MII 12000 motherboard with 2 x DVB tuners, a 200GB WD hard drive, 512MB RAM on a single stick, DVD RW drive. It also runs 2 case fans and a CPU fan. So the server stuff goes out of the nice case and into the ugly case, and the P3 666MHz stuff goes into the nice case. The reason I do this is that the P3 stuff will be under my TV while the "server" stuff will be hidden away. So I want to see a nice case rather than an ugly case :) The ceveat of the nice case is that it has a proprietary 240w ATX power supply. The case is advertised to take Mini-ITX boards along with standard ATX boards.

Re: udev package and sysvinit
Winton Roseland wrote: I am running Knoppix from my hard drive with kernel 2.6.14.2 (I needed usb support for a recent model of linksys's usb200m that required a patch to asix.c in 2.6.14.2). The problem I am having now is difficulty getting my usb camera to mount when I connect it. So I installed udev that required initsripts. The initscripts package tried to install /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh, but it is part of sysvinit package so apt-get will not install it. My system says that hotplug is partially unistalled so I hate to shut down. How can I correct this? Uh-oh, are you mixing Debian Sid packages into a Knoppix-based installation? This can cause trouble since Knoppix contains lots of customizations and is therefore not fully compatible. Example: checkfs.sh has been moved from package sysvinit to package initscripts in Debian Sid, but obviously not in Knoppix. (If you are using some sort of "pure" Knoppix repository - if such a thing exists - your problem is a bug in Knoppix.) There is a way to forcefully complete your installation of udev and initscripts, but you have to understand that it might have adverse side effects, depending how different the two versions of checkfs.sh are. You can do the following, entirely at your own risk (please read the full description before doing anything): 1) Make a backup copy of the presently installed /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh 2) As root do dkpg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/initscripts_2.86.ds1-6_i386.deb You may have to replace "initscripts_2.86.ds1-6_i386.deb" with the name of the newest version of the package which exists in your /var/cache/apt/archives directory. This will force the install by overwriting the old version of /etc/checkfs.sh. 3) Now the rest of the installation can be completed by either "apt-get install -f" or "aptitude upgrade -f". This should set up udev and remove hotplug. If I remember correctly you will be asked to purge the config files of hotplug yourself, watch out for the corresponding message during the setup of udev. 4) Use diff to see if there are differences between the backup copy of checkfs.sh and the newly installed version from package initscripts. If the two versions are identical you are save. If there are differences I have no way of knowing which version you should use and what the side effects will be. This is the risky part of this procedure. If you want to be careful you can use "dpkg-deb -x" on the initscripts*.deb file in /var/cache/apt/archives: After extracting the new version of checkfs.sh to some temporary directory you can compare the two versions before you force the installation. I hope this helps, but don't blame me if it doesn't. Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To show all installed packages you can use the "dpkg" command, and
then filter the list via grep to those that are installed. (And not
removed/purged). To do this run:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg --list |grep ^ii
You might find the package name is truncated, so can fix this
by running:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ COLUMNS=200 dpkg --list |grep ^ii
Finally if you just want to see the *name* of the package you can
use awk to print that out alone. This stops you from seeing the
one-line package description too:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ COLUMNS=200 dpkg --list |grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}'
If you wish this list to be in a file just use redirection:

I found two other modules in /lib/modules/2.6.14-2-686/kernel/net/ieee80211/, namely ieee80211_crypt_ccmp and ieee80211_crypt_tkip, so I modprobed them too, but that did not help either -- I expect they are for hardware I do not have anyway. Well, I have one last suggestion to make: Check with lsmod if the orinoco driver is actually using the ieee80211 modules. On my laptop the relevant output looks like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod | grep ieee80211 ieee80211_crypt_wep 4992 1 ieee80211 23752 1 ipw2100 ieee80211_crypt 5636 2 ieee80211_crypt_wep,ieee80211 I think you should see something similar with "ipw2100" replaced by the name of your wireless driver. Note also that the ieee80211_crypt_wep module is used by one other module; the fact the name of this module is not given probably means that it is compiled statically into my (self-built) kernel. If you see a "0" there it means that the wep-module is not used at all; maybe there is at least one other module which you need to load. After looking at the 2.6.14 kernel sources I would suggest that you try to modprobe the following modules: hermes orinoco orinoco_cs orinoco_nortel orinoco_pci orinoco_plx orinoco_tmd spectrum_cs If one of these does not fix the problem it is probably time to talk to someone with specific knowledge about the orinoco drivers; maybe there is a certain trick which has to be used with WEP or the order in which the modules are loaded is important. It might be worthwhile to ask for further help on the debian-laptop list, with a short summary of what we have tried so far and a subject like "orinoco wireless with WEP under kernel 2.6.14-2-686". (Not everyone reads debian-user and an "orinoco specialist" might have overlooked the present thread due to its dhcp-centered subject.)

I notice you dropped the point that this is ONLY an analogy. However, and this is not intended as offensive or an attack, when I realize that, at the end of this letter, you are a promoter, it makes sense. It is not your job to deal with logic in arguments, but to deal with perceptions and reactions.

In short: not likely, there is a LOT more to it than that (I know, a former teacher is on the board at the Poe Museum here in Richmond, where Poe grew up, and I've talked to him and the Museum Director about topics like this in researching a script I've written about Poe -- and one I hope to produce within the next few years). Basically, that is not the case, and saying so perpetuates slander that started when someone with a grudge against Poe managed to grab the chance to write his obituary.

The point is that you use one sentence as a fix-all. "That's why you get a financial partner." More often that not, it is simply not possible, which was a major part of my point.

Actually, it's closer to 90% in the first year when I checked within the past 2 years. However, noting (below) that you are in Australia and I'm in the US, that could explain the difference in figures.

And even if you use your figures, that still supports my point that most people need more time to amass the resources and can't just get something going in a few years. Which is my major point.

Common law copyright is a neat idea, but it is about as useful as someone who has written a patent and makes $75,000 a year realizing he has a law suit against Microsoft, who can basically afford to drag it out and bankrupt him and his lawyers long before he ever gets a judgement in court. While the person just might get lucky, the reality of the situation is that he'll go broke before ever getting a chance to make some money. That's not what the problem is. It's when Microsoft declare a patent on something you own. That's when their money makes the difference. This is where the fiscal imbalance proves unethical, within the context of dragged out court cases. Poe got $100 for The Raven, but it became popular. While he did sign away the rights (he needed the money), Of course he did, he was a drunk. No, often it does not. You've never dealt with an agent or producer. I wouldn't assume too much here. Good. You've assumed you knew everything about anything I've said so far. (You must be in marketing, as you claim -- you know how to make everything sound wonderful, whether you know the real situation or not!) Some are honest, many are not. Yep, you've got to be street smart to survive. Street smart != dishonest No, it doesn't. Some of the most honest people I've known have been in the street. Sometimes, that's the reason they're there. Let's substitute, 'you've got to know the territory'. That's why you get a financial partner. Oh, that easy, is it? Just go out and *poof* there is someone who will give you the money to do it all. No, I didn't say that. A little artistic licence, there. Once again, if you have resources or a track record, it can be easy, but in this day and age, it is not easy. I've talked to loan managers at banks about financing Waste of time. -- and I don't mean just as an applicant. One point that came up over and over is that small business are no longer started with loans. Of course not. Very volatile market. 50% of small business fails in its first year. 50% of the remainder fails in the second year. More after that. After that amount of time, if he's not far enough ahead of the rest of the market, that's business. That may work in software, but copyrights apply to a lot besides software. Every product, and I employ the terminology in its broadest sense, has its idiosyncracies, but business principle remains the same. Yes, and that makes my point. There are times one has resources and money and can make something happen quickly. If one does not, and one is either starting from scratch, or is the "average guy", The average guy will remain average, and this is not a disparaging remark. Sometimes I think he's the lucky one. It takes a product with potential, /and /a successful strategy, along with a personality who is distinctly _not_ average. I started with nothing, and became the third largest promoter in the history of Australia. I didn't do it inside five years, but by then, I was well on my way. Beginning, end, and entire middle of story. I'm glad to hear that you're beginning to do well. Handling everything yourself sounds like a different strategy. I hope it works for you. I've cut a lot from this, but we're getting distinctly OT. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Where would you start if you had a *really* slow system? Given the three scenarios you give, specially the first and maybe also the third, disk access is a likely candidate. Check with hdparm whether the HDD-chipset is using the best transfer mode available (some DMA mode, given the hardware). As for sluggishness with X, I also seem to have the problem sometimes, specially when starting X. I had the impression that some time ago it was a couple of seconds at most that the screen stayed blank while loading xdm, but now it seems to be in the slow end of the 5-10 s range, so it is clear that I can't give any advice on that side of the issue. -- Gonzalo HIGUERA DÍAZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
/etc/interfaces for logical interfaces
Hi everybody, I read man interfaces but didn't understand completely. I have a laptop with 1 interface eth0, and I want 2 setups: at work with inet dhcp, at home (to exchange data with my PC) inet static with a certain IP. (If I understand correctly that is what they call 'logical interfaces'.) What must I write in /etc/interfaces so that I can do e. g. ifup eth0-home (eth0=home ?) to start eth0 with the desired settings?

I've recently switched from KDE to Xfce and tracking this thread has been very useful. I also tried mrxvt. Excellent first impression but it limps in a very essential feature to my taste: it display ugly-looking glyphs for line-drawing characters when you use FreeType fonts and ncurses applications, such as mutt, aptitude or mc. konsole, xfce4-terminal and urxvt handle this correctly. Although I quite liked mrxvt, I settled for xfce4-terminal: it's also tabbed and handles xft & ncurses correctly. Of course, it will pull Xfce libraries with it. I posted the xft problem on mrxvt user mailing list and got no replies, whereas the xfce user mailing list is quickly responsive. Just my $0.02.

Debugging severe performance problems
Hi all! One of my systems has a really severe performance problem. It has an AMD Athlon XP 1700+ CPU. It has 768 MB RAM, and only very rarely swaps anything. It has a 3Dfx Voodoo Banshee (rev 03) PCI card with 16 MB on-card RAM. The performance problems has been there since the summer. For some time, it ran woody with KDE 3.1 on top, then I had it tracking sarge in April. It performed well at that point. I've tried many different things, but it all boils down to that I think the hardware is OK, but that I really have no clue where to start. It is my father's system, so I'm not bothered with it too often, but the performance is insanely bad. When it does updatedb, the system pretty much freezes for the time it takes to scan the disk. Firefox takes more than a minute to start, and a regular apt-get upgrade with trivial security fixes makes the load go to above 5. My own system is similar to this system, but has a somewhat slower CPU, and performs well. It is definitely not because it doesn't have the hardware. Not to get hung up in this, but I think I first saw the performance problems as xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-13 went into sarge. I have therefore been working under the hypothesis that it is connected to some X problems, and it seems like it just takes a long time to draw anything. It is hard to tell, of course, if that's a symptom or a cause. So, I tried replacing the 3Dfx PCI card with my own well-performing Matrox G450 AGP card, but that had no appreciable effect. Reducing the resolution to 800x600 did however help a bit. Now, I think X might not have anything to do with it. I have also tried a full memtest86 scan, but no problems were spotted by it. I've been looking through all the logs I can think of, but seen nothing that meets the eye. One thing that has been haunting me is this error message: ldconfig: Cannot mmap file /lib/libslang.so.1-UFT8. I suppose that came in with a typo (UFT8 vs. UTF8), since I forgot to change my sources.list to stable shortly after woody was released back in the day. However, I've lived with this since then, and it had never any performance input before. It's quite funny that it remains though, I've upgraded the whole system since then... So, well, I have a system here that borders on unusable and no idea how to fix it. Where would you start if you had a *really* slow system?
