I was having the same problems as the others.  I just installed Opera

My apt-cache policy outputs are now identical to those above, but the

I am currently subscribed to some mailing lists that are moderated (i.e.

Consequently there is no spam per se, but some clever ones have succeeded to

Over the past few years that I have been using Debian, the list

But the disadvantages with google groups is that

(1) It will split the user base across d-u and yyy (where yyy is the

(2) google is a company and I am not very sure if relying on a

(3) It requires a google/gmail account. But IMHO, the effort spent in

The advantages I see are

(1) A web interface to subscribe/unsubscribe and change 
mail/digest/no email options. So we will not see those unsubscribe 
emails.


(2) If we set 'only members can post', it removes the spam problem. 
Currently the lists are spammed because anyone can post to the

advantage of it.


Is there anything that can be done with lists.debian.org that cannot

Please feel free to express your opinions on this issue. If enough

for the google group.

Raju,
The lists are spammed, I agree. But being able to post without 
subscription is part of the openness Debian wants to achieve. This was 
probably born when spam was no concern. I don't think *moving* the 
lists to a group is a good idea, though you can always create a Debian 
user group at gmail groups. I'd happily participate. But going 
official is another thing.

Isn't filtering spam locally an option?


I also do not think moving the lists to google group is such a good 
idea. If at all I create this, it would coexist along with d-u. d-u will 
still be there and will function just like as it would otherwise. People 
who are happy with Google's TOS will subscribe otherwise they can still 
continue in d-u.


Regarding filtering spam, that is definitely an option. That is what we 
all have been doing all these days. But the idea is to not receive them 
in the first place by setting 'only members can post' option.

Maintaining ownership of the content of the list is one thing. Have you

I use a combination of guessnet, ifplugd, and resolvconf to work with 3 
different networks - two wired and one wireless.

ifplugd detects whether or not I have a wired connection.
guessnet determines which wired network I am connected to based on pinging 
some known machines with certain MAC addresses.
resolvconf deals with the changing dns information.

My work network uses dhcp (wired), my home network uses static ip (wired), and 
I also have wireless at work.

You end up modifying the /etc/network/interfaces to getting everything to 
work.

Here is a sample bit from my network interfaces:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
# turn off since ifplugd is controlling things
#auto eth0

mapping eth0
script /usr/sbin/guessnet-ifupdown
map default: none
map timeout: 3
map verbose: true

Wireless roaming/configuration

[Z F]

Hello everybody,

I can not seem to figure out how to configure wireless roaming.
That is, I would like to describe several networks with their WEP keys
and
ESSIDs. The goal is that as soon as available network is detected a
connection is made.

It seems to me that waproamd is the right package for the job. Never
the less, I can not seem to make it work. waproamd gives me this error:

SIOCGIWRANGE failed: Argument list too longShutdown

I also noticed that latest wireless tools available are v17. However,
the kernel 2.6.13 provides v18 support. It is not clear if v18 is
backwards compatible with v17 and if this could be aproblem.

Also, I saw on waproamd web site that it has been superceeded by 
wpa_supplicant. This uses WPA and WPA2  method. But I have WEP so what
should I do? What are the options?

One last point, I do not have KDE or GNOME installed. Do I need them
for
the wireless configuration or it is possible to do it without it?

Thanks for your input

Lazar

Have you tried commenting out the line

in /etc/network/interfaces ?  I also have laptop-net installed, to
handle dynamic changes to the networking environment.  I think there
are other packages with similar functionality.

Don't get stuck on the the fact that your mobi isn't listed, look at the

Also IIRC, stock Debian kernels don't handle SATA CD-ROM drives.

Network interface sanity

[Andreas Ehn]

Hi,

I have a laptop with one wired ethernet interface (eth0) and one
wireless interface (eth1). I'm using ifupdown.

When the computer is not connected to a wired network, while starting
up, it is associated with my wireless network and requests and receives
an IP address with DHCP.

That, however, doesn't satisfy the machine. It proceeds by requesting an
address for the wired network as well, despite there being no attached
network cable, which holds up the boot process until the DHCP client
times out and gives up.

What I would like to happen in this situation is that the machine would
only try to get an address over the wired network interface if it is
actually connected to a network. Otherwise it should try the wireless
interface directly.

Iff connected to a wired network, the system should only try to connect
to a wireless network after having failed to acquire an IP address from
the wired network.

I would like all of this to happen automatically.

Is it possible to configure /etc/interfaces like this? Reading
interfaces(5) and the examples in /usr/share/doc/ifupdown didn't help
me.

Thanks,
Andreas

You are right: utf-8 is the same as iso-10646! I changed
uxterm to use an iso-10646 font and now it's displaying the
characters of a lot of new languages. I put in ~/.Xresources:

xterm*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1

The problem with gnuplot "png terminal" also is solved, but
the "x11 terminal" still doesn't work properly with unicode
strings.  I guess that this is a problem between gnuplot and
the X server, and not a misconfiguration of my system.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Burning files bigger than 2GB in k3b??

[Bruno Buys]

   When I try to burn a dvd with a file bigger than 2GB, k3b tells me 
'There are files bigger than 2GB, enabling udf...' etc etc. The burn 
session takes a second and finishes reporting sucess, which is evidently 
wrong. Then, when I try to mount the dvd, it mounts, but there is 
nothing inside it. 'mount' says the device is mounted with udf fs 
supposedly correct.

k3b is 0.12.2.
dvd+rw-tools is 5.21.4.10.8-1

anyone help? I'm splitting files to <2GB parts, which is laborious...

Thanks for the response. I added that line in
/etc/networking/interface and copied  dpkg-bak  for
wpa_supplicant.conf. Still it is not working. Home net has wep. It is
in wpa_supplicant.conf. But it is not getting connected. The site you
mentioned says wep is put in  /etc/networking/interface file. Hence
for wep, should i think wpa_supplicant.conf is not useful. whether
your system has wep? How do you handle it?

According to
http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Bacula_Security_Issues.html (thanks go
to apathy for pointing it out!) the daemeon name when running (the
service name) can be configured to be different to the process name!!

Debian configuration for Bacula sets the service name to be
%hostname%-dir (which makes sense) so your hosts.allow has to have an
entry for '%hostname%-dir', NOT 'bacula-dir'!

I guess it's not a bug, but an important configuration point that is not
included anywhere in any of the Debian documentation for Bacula that I
could find (I may have looked in the wrong place.)

HTH someone else,
Greg

I too found that FP7 would regularly crash FF 1.0.x.  FF 1.5, though,
is highly stable with FP7.

Since you're Etch, though, you'll either have to get it from mozilla,
or suffer until 1.5 makes it's way to Etch.

So in other words: it is not possible. The only way to host a svn

This is debian stable. current version is obexftp 0.10.7 and no
ussp-push in apt-cache. Does this mean that obexftp in debian stable
is nonfunctional?

No, thanks.

This worked. also inq. But it took some time for me to find out that I

Here, -HSU are invalid options to obexftp. I will assume (unless told
otherwise) the obexftp version in debian stable to be badly broken, as
the pairing was correctly intiated (as shown in daemon.log) but not
answered. At the contrary it caused the celphone to reboot (!).

Thank's for the help. I'll search for a backport or try to compile the
newer version my self.

Can I host a svn repository on apache-1.3?

[Jim MacBaine]

Hello,

I've got a system running Sarge with apache 1.3 and I would like to
offer a subversion repository via webdav.  I installed the
libapache-dav package, created a directory and enabled DAV for it. 
The webdav server works well: I can access it with webdav clients
(konqueror, windows xp webfolder), I can create files, directories,
etc.  But how do I get svn to store its files there?

I tried "svn import . http://server/project-name";, but it alwas returns
"svn: The VCC property was not found on the resource"

I tried to create an svn repository on the server with svnadmin, it
did not help.  Does subversion require more than a simple webdav
server?  Unfortunately svnserve is not an option, and an upgrade to
apache2 would require a lot of work.

Regards,
Jim

Adjust for sid or testing as to your system needs.
# apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

You'll get flashplugin-nonfree 7.0.63.1 that works perfectly.
 

It doesn't work perfectly for me. Either installing the software direct 
from macromedia, or from the above mentioned method. I still have 
trouble with sites like Toyota.com or Pier1.com. The drop down lists 
don't show, or they half show behind the current graphic. Could not  
build a car because the zip code filed remains empty after trying to 
enter any number numerous times.


I have trouble with other sites as well. I still can't figure out if 
something is misconfigured or the Linux package is just buggy. Could 
someone humor me and please try the  (the USA) www.toyota.com website?

That's the ideal. Then we wouldn't need any helpdesks or support forums
and a lot of people would be out of a job.

Looking at the world it makes even more sense...but I probably should

I use cdrecord.  It's a command-line utility, and has very few
dependencies.  I believe many of the graphical burners use it as a
back-end.

Hello Debian Users,

I used to use gcombust for bruning my CDs. Now this program is gone from
Debian unstable and I wanted to ask which program you use for CD burning.

I use WindowMaker as window manager and neither KDE nor GNOME so I
prefer one that does not depend on KDE or GNOME libs.

Please CC me as I'm not on the list.

Thanks in advance and best regards

Hi,

as far as I know you need 64-Bit Windows drivers to work with ndiswrapper on a 
64-Bit kernel. Maybe this is your problem.

I have a hunch as to why you get so much of that wunnerfur mail is due 
to the fact that a large percentage of Linuxites are dual booters.


That being said - Windows may be the biggest factor coupled along with a 
large portion of those said users either don't know how to protect the 
Windows box or just don't care.


That being said - many of the dual booting Linuxites are compromised and 
may not even know it.


Just a thought...

Not exactly an answer, but why don't you install
flashplayer-mozilla_7.0.61.0-0.1_i386.deb from ftp.nerim.net. That sets
up things correctly.

 

Not at all the answer I wanted but still much appreciated. After 
removing "flashplugin-nonfree", which conflicted, that works perfectly.


I'd love to understand why the debian system method doesn't work though. 
Clearly it'd be nicer to have a script you can run occasionally that 
checks for and installs updated plugins with little interaction. The 
output message above from the update-flashplugin script suggests it's 
decided there's already a flash player installed, but this is a newly 
built machine with virtually nothing done to it yet except a newly built 
kernel, X and WindowMaker.
   



Put this in your sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main

Adjust for sid or testing as to your system needs.
# apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

You'll get flashplugin-nonfree 7.0.63.1 that works perfectly.

 



That's what I'm running now, but I pulled the deb package down and 
installed it manually. I run sarge stable, and am nervous about adding 
third party testing or unstable entries to my sources list. Is this even 
advisable?


Both you and Mr Sridhar have suggested exactly the same thing, which 
implies to me that the sarge flashplugin-nonfree package is known to be 
faulty - is that the case?


Thanks for your help.

The Listmasters do a realy great job on SPAM filtering.
Better then the SuSE Listsmasters.

I think your rule fails because the "[[:alnum:]-]" expression does not
match the colons, slashes and brackets in your syslog lines, and the
fact that you start the rule with "^" and end it with "$" requires a
match of the entire line. Your rule looks like you want it to match
everything which contains "autodeny" anywhere in the line; you can
achieve this with

^.+autodeny.+$

or, if you want to be bit more specific, you can write

^.+autodeny\.rb.+$

If you want to follow the general style of the existing rules a bit

closely, you can use

This reduces the risk of missing some important log message which is

Hi list

Logcheck is driving me NUTS. I'm not a regular expression guru so
here's my problem:

Every hour I run a script to kick out ssh brute force script kiddies.
This generates the following in syslog:
Apr  2 17:01:01 zenggi2 /USR/SBIN/CRON[29227]: (root) CMD (ruby /root/ 
autodeny.rb )


Every hour logcheck likes to send me an email with only this line. So I
went to /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/cron and put this in:
^[[:alnum:]-]+autodeny[[:alnum:]-]+$

Which does not work.
Can someone please help me with a regexp that just works? I am not such
a whizard with the logcheck regexp format..


I think your rule fails because the "[[:alnum:]-]" expression does not
match the colons, slashes and brackets in your syslog lines, and the
fact that you start the rule with "^" and end it with "$" requires a
match of the entire line. Your rule looks like you want it to match
everything which contains "autodeny" anywhere in the line; you can
achieve this with

^.+autodeny.+$

or, if you want to be bit more specific, you can write

^.+autodeny\.rb.+$

If you want to follow the general style of the existing rules a bit more
closely, you can use

^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} zenggi2 /USR/SBIN/CRON\[[0-9]+\]: \(root\) CMD \(ruby /root/ 
autodeny\.rb \)$

This reduces the risk of missing some important log message which is

Yepp! I think that the delete from /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf is an small
misfortune but in the default file you can set the path using the config
variable.

I copy the config file back from dpkg-bak and set in following new
parameter in /etc/networking/interface:
wpa_conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

restart networking and it works again. If you use netenv maybe you have
to set networking on the NETENV_RUN_INIT_SCRIPTS parameter. This is what
i have to do. More see here: http://www.zolnott.de/laptop/ibm-t43-uc34nge.html

i don't know about logcheck and the regexp syntax it uses, but try 
^.*autodeny\.rb.*$
you may have to start and finish the expression with a slash.

Hi,
i have acpid-1.0.4 (the standard testing version) and acpitool 0.4.0.

then recognized by the awakening system and... it is shutting down...
is this standard behaviour? 


I had the same problem on my laptop. I made a small change to
/etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh, adding the following line right after the

[ -e /tmp/powerbtn_flag_hibernate ] && rm -f
/tmp/powerbtn_flag_hibernate && exit 0 



It got it working with a similar script. But in my case there seem to be
4 Button/Sleep and 2 Button/Power events when i hit the Sleep Button and
also Button/Sleep-Events seem to get triggered randomly beginning right
after the system is loaded completely (ie all the init scripts are 
executed).


That might be a problem with ACPI. I know that a lot of people have
complaints about ACPI support; on some hardware it seems to be a pain in
the neck, sometimes the BIOS is broken, etc. What I wrote in my first
answer is based on my experiences with an Asus M2400N laptop running
Debian Sid. With this configuration it works very well, using the
acpi_asus module of newer kernels and the "hibernate" package for
suspend-to-ram. On other hardware the situation might be quite different.

You could try to look for your laptop model on tuxmobil.org or
www.linux-laptop.net and check if somebody else has already found a way
to make it work nicely. Otherwise you can post more information about
the hardware here and hope that someone on the list knows more about it.

That's a possible explanation, but your description is not very
accurate :) 

A mount point is basically a directory. You can put stuff in that
directory and just use it as a directory. If you want to mount a drive,
you need to select a directory where the drive will be mounted. Again,
this can be any directory, even one that you use as a normal directory.
The moment you mount the drive, the directory contents will still exist,
but are unreachable in the filesystem. The content of the directory
however has become the content of the mounted media. The moment you
unmount this media, your previous content stored in the directory will
appear again.

Now, after this explanation, it should be clear why data copied to a
mount point where nothing is mounted can be copied locally. If you have
a mount point in a mount point for instance
(/mnt/usbdisk1/somedir/usbdisk2 where usbdisk* are both mountpoints) and
you copy something to usbdisk2 (which is not mounted) your data will be
copied to usbdisk1, since the mount point is located on that disk.

As noted by Brian, that is quite bad indeed. Around 50MB/sec is quite
good. On my laptop I get around 25MB/sec, which is not marvellous but
quite ok.

A suggestion (aside from the -I suggestion from Brian): Do you have DMA
enabled? You can check this by doing: 'hdparm -d /dev/hda' as root. If
it says DMA is disabled, try enabling it: 'hdparm -d1 /dev/hda'. If this
succeeds, 'hdparm -tT /dev/hda' should give some better results. If it
shows an error message, post it.

If DMA is enabled and you still get those shitty speeds something else
is quite wrong.

You can try to run the hdparm stuff from a livecd if you want to rule
out your own software (kernel-image for instance). I can suggest
knoppix, which has all the necessary tools available.

Good luck!

I'm not sure either (so someone with knowledge please comment!), but
I've placed it in /etc/network/interfaces:

---
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The first network card
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
pre-up /etc/iptables.scr
address 192.168.1.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
broadcast 192.168.1.255
---

This way, I expect the iptables script to be run just before the
network is activated.


to disable the network during boot you've to comment the "auto eth0"  so 
your interface doesn't have any ip address until you do "ifup eth0" with 
root priviledge (once logged in your machine)

enable usbfs on a nslu2 running debian3.1 2.6.15-1-nslu2

Hi,

Please can you tell me how I can enable usbfs on a NSLU2 (ARM) machine 
running debian3.1 2.6.15-1-nslu2.


The directory /proc/bus/usb does not exist.

Is there a kernel module missing, and if so how do I add this.

I appreciate any help (I am new to Debian, but have used other linux 
distributions).


I have a c program which says it must use usbfs.

You need the packages:

If you want a GUI:
kdebluetooth

Not exactly an answer, but why don't you install
flashplayer-mozilla_7.0.61.0-0.1_i386.deb from ftp.nerim.net. That sets
up things correctly.



Not at all the answer I wanted but still much appreciated. After 
removing "flashplugin-nonfree", which conflicted, that works perfectly.


I'd love to understand why the debian system method doesn't work though. 
Clearly it'd be nicer to have a script you can run occasionally that 
checks for and installs updated plugins with little interaction. The 
output message above from the update-flashplugin script suggests it's 
decided there's already a flash player installed, but this is a newly 
built machine with virtually nothing done to it yet except a newly built 
kernel, X and WindowMaker.


Thanks again.

I'am trying to bring my soundcard to work under sarge with the kernel
2.6.16 compiled without module support so I can't use alsa.

This is the pci output of my card:

***
lspci|grep Multi
:00:04.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT82C686 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 20)
***

With make menuconfig I use to compile a PCI card under device drivers:

VIA 82C686A/B, 8233/8235 AC97 Controller 


Is this the wrong driver as I can't hear sound with xmms or xine ?

  
in your position i should try out the tar.gz  rc4 file from the 
alsa-website. put this file in  /usr/src/alsa (make this directory and 
build and  install the drivers as *root*; after  installation  (if 
necessary) of the kernel-headers (use kpackage to make this somewhat 
easier).
get rid, before building the als-kernel-modules of the *locked-up file* 
in lib/modules/kernel x.y.z etc.


install further the alsa libraries and alsa-utils as *user*, from the 
same site. reboot amd it should work.

the ac97 chip/module is supported as snd-intel8xy (or somethinf like that.

good luck. can be a struggle, but it is in my opinion valuable.

Not exactly an answer, but why don't you install
flashplayer-mozilla_7.0.61.0-0.1_i386.deb from ftp.nerim.net. That sets
up things correctly.

HTH,

hello brookstoy,

you do not give me/us enough information to help you. what is your 
soundcard? do you use alsa, or not? etc. etc. try to put your 
appropriate logs inline on this list *if you are using debian*

Sorry I didn't finish properly.

I'm running sarge. The during installation aptitude and 
update-flashplugin report:


   Setting up flashplugin-nonfree (7.0.25-5) ...

And the actual plugin file isn't on the machine anywhere.


I'm mystified because I got this working fine a couple of weeks ago on a 
similar machine.

Can anyone please advise?

macromedia flash plugin for firefox?

[Doofus]

I've downloaded "install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz" from 
macromedia.com, installed Takuo's "flashplugin-nonfree" package with 
dependecies (ruby, debconf), then ran the "update-flashplugin" script. 
All as root.

Tearing my hair out trying to get this to work. Can't understand it 
because I got it working fine a couple of weeks ago on a similar machine.

I'm not sure either (so someone with knowledge please comment!), but
I've placed it in /etc/network/interfaces:

---
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The first network card
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
pre-up /etc/iptables.scr
address 192.168.1.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
broadcast 192.168.1.255
---

This way, I expect the iptables script to be run just before the
network is activated.

Can /var and /user be on LVM/RAID

[hendrik]

Are there any drawbacks to having /var and /usr on LVM2 on RAID-1?
(e.g. total inability to rescue things in case a new kernel doesn't 
recognise LVM2 or something?)

sound

[Brookstoy1]

i have no sound,or it says no mixing device,
 
please let me know how to check,or what to do
 
also it says i have to many sound media runing.
    

   thank 
you
 

How can I check that my RAID/LVM drives are really working?

[hendrik]

I have Reiser on LVM2 on RAID.
At least, that's what I tried to set up.
How can I check that that's what I'm really getting?

Presumably running mount will tell me whether it's really reiser.
But what can I do to enquire what the logical volumes are made of?
And whether I' erally getting a RAID instead of just reading and writing 
to one of the physical partitions the RAID-1 is supposed to be made of.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid.  I suspect a few months ago I had 
problems with just this -- that my LVM was being recognised on a 
physical partition instead of on the RAID.  At least, that was one 
theory.

A reinstall from scratch a month ago using etch instead of sarge may 
have solved the problem, but ...

How can I tell for sure?  If things are not as they should be, I'd like 
to find out when I can still fix then, rahter than, say, when one of my 
physical drives fails and I discover the RAID wasn't a RAID.
