I noticed that the cached and buffered memory grows 2M and 1M
respectively. Isn't that what your lost memory turns into? I think
this should be a totally normal phenomenon.

I am no expert on udeb permission rules but that looks to me like you want 
the owner *and* group set to lp, with a permission of 660. But looking at 
the output of ls above you get root as the owner. Anyway that's what it 
looks like on my setup as well. I haven't had time to work with the udeb 
permissions (don't even have a udev.permissions on my etch setup), but I 
only got it to work when I set the permissions to 666. I do that from a 
startup script now. Not very nice I know but it works. Let me know if it 
helps.

Best regards

Is using ubunto tutorial my only chance?

[Poub]

Hello,

Sorry to cc you directly, but after extensive research I found out that 
you are the most competent people when it comes to boot on a dmraid system.


I found this bug report: 
http://bugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=350250

And the fact that you've worked at integrated dmraid in the installer:
http://groups.google.fr/group/linux.debian.maint.boot/browse_thread/thread/98ddc337b656c276/5673efa7cabb1a0f?q=dmraid&rnum=1#5673efa7cabb1a0f

- Is there anywhere where I can get/do an iso of the net-install 
including these feature?


- If not I guess my only chance is to follow one of those tutorial for 
ubuntu:

http://www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/SATA_RAID_Howto
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
Am I wrong?

So sorry for those weak questions I'm quite a beginner in the debian world.

Thanks in advance for your answer.
Best regards.

Hi Aaron,
one of the issues I have with the short and long descriptions and the
suggest,depends is this:
they are meant to be useful to the audience that already knows all the
jargon  and lingo used in that particular field and doesnt allow someone
else the change to discover these programs. I may want to take the time
to learn about a field I've never read about in order to learn how to
use a partiular program but the description is not written to explain
what it does to non-experts. I've thought about making an alternate
index to explain all the lingo used in the package discriptions. Also,
the 'suggests' only show a package name. This to me is not that useful.
I'd like to know the specific reason why I should install this extra
package. I'd like to know in what way it will add functionality or
features to the main program. The package name used in the suggests
field does not enlighten me enough.
Cheers,
Kev

Python or OpenGL Memory Leak in Debian 3.1r0

[Charles and Monica Sharman]

I encountered a memory leak in my python code that imports OpenGL. 
Either python or its OpenGL import is not freeing memory.  I use Debian 
3.1r0 and the most current python and python-opengl packages from there 
(python version 2.3.5).  Here's an example python program that has the 
memory leak.


--
# Stand-alone test of glReadPixels.  There is an obvious memory leak.

from OpenGL.GL import *
from OpenGL.GLUT import *

import sys

def KeyMotion(key, x, y):
if key != 'q':
viewport = glGetIntegerv(GL_VIEWPORT)
a = glReadPixelsf(viewport[0], viewport[1],
  viewport[2], viewport[3], GL_RGB)
glutPostRedisplay()
else:
sys.exit(0)

def DrawStuff():
pass

glutInit(sys.argv)
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB)
glutInitWindowPosition(0, 0)
glutInitWindowSize(400, 400)
glutCreateWindow('Test')
glutDisplayFunc(DrawStuff)
glutKeyboardFunc(KeyMotion)
glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT)
glutMainLoop()
--

The glReadPixels line grabs memory every time it is called, and it is 
never released.  I'm not sure where to post this bug, because I cannot 
tell which package causes the bug.  (If I had to guess, I think OpenGL is 
the culprit.)  Can anyone help direct me to the proper place to post this 
bug?


Thanks,
Charles

slow memory leak when running gvim

quit all the windows. Then I have

You will need to set the DISPLAY variable and export it.  I don't know 
what you set it to, but I do know you will have to export DISPLAY 
serverx: X,XX here = display and serverx=name or ipaddress of the

debconf/config.dat corruption

[Conrad Williams]

While installing a few packages, I had a RAID disk failure, resulting in a
RAID cache flush. This corrupted the install process, but it had downloaded
the packages.

Into recovery mode and did following;
Logsave was installed (using aptitude, yep the system kept going OK) after
the initial failure, before reboot. Changed init.d file system checking
scripts to include logsave. Then was a shutdown -F which cleanup up some
inode issues and files (logsave didn't work). So I don't know exactly what
has been altered. Logsave was not saved in either /var/log/aptitude or the
debconf/config.dat files.
I have done a debsums on the system, and everything looks fine. Will look at
the tripwire logs later.

My backup and debconf/config.dat-old are both prior to the installs, of
which, some packages were installed, and some were not. Copied the
config.dat-old to config.dat, but I think that is not enough.

Can I regenerate a new /var/cache/debconf/config.dat from the existing
system? How?

perhaps the following?

aptitude reinstall *

I know, this probably won't work... as I want it to


Thanks

I like it! 
And I think I need to stop searching for my perfect emacs font and do some 
useful 
work. 

Thanks to all, I've learned a lot.

When i was using Rhythmbox with Gnome 2.12 i had some problems to get it
running. In Gnome, as far as i can remember, i had to put the
sound(daemon or systen) on gstreamer, esd or alsa. Cannot remenber
which one. With Gnome 2.14 it is put on "automatic" by default.

Now, i am using Xfce4 with alsa. Rhythmbox and Quod Libet are both
working well. 

Maybe you could install a light windowmanger like Fluxbox or Icewm and
see if they will run from there. But be sure that no sound daemons from
KDE or Gnome are running.
I think the problem is somewhere in the soundsystem/daemons.

sid and fglrx 8.25.18 AGAIN

[Nicoco Kinlidex]

hello,

I really need to get the latest ATI drivers working on my computer.
I have no problem with "non-free" debian.org repositories but it is 
version 8.24.8
when I install the newer version, module loads perfectly, xorg.0.log 
doesn't show any error (something like fglrx : DRI init successful) but 
fglrxinfo indicates I use MESA GLX driver.


when I 'strace fglrxinfo' I see :

open("/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri//fglrx_dri.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT 
(No such file or directory)


it indeed is not in that directory (it's in /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so).

this issue looks like a recent other one 
(http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.user/browse_thread/thread/c407350357763b8f/24bc0a6d76b4cc25?lnk=st&q=fglrx&rnum=2#24bc0a6d76b4cc25)
except that the solution given doesn't work for me (i don't have 
anything like ATI in /etc/profile and "unset LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH" doesn't 
change the problem)


any help appreciated !

Well, first understand that we've pretty much plumbed the depths of my
knowledge of font lower levels.  However, here's a couple that I have
left.  You can get the same sort of strange behaviour by rearranging
the order of the FontPath lines in your X config file.  I have:

FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID"
FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"

What does the "/:unscaled" mean?  What happens when you put the 75dpi
lines before the 100dpi lines?

What happens when you go from the above defining fonts for X, to
something like xfs (X Font Server) defining fonts for X?

I thought a font was a simple matrix bitmap defining pixels to turn on
or off or shade or colorize.  Smiple.  No, beyond that little matrix
is a vast array of fantastically specialized machinery that does
magical things with that little matrix.  BTW:

Emacs*font: 
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-10-100-75-75-m-60-iso8859-1

Pretty.  :-)

Well, managed to install and boot to a new kernel -- 2.6.15.
With the new kernel, have booted successfully to X and gdm twice in a row.
Might be fixed, or am I just lucky?  The problem was intermittent, after all.

how to scroll wheel events to multimedia keys in kde?

[Toshiro]

Hi! 

I have a Genius Ergomedia 700 keyboard that has tons of extra
keys.

I've been able to map all of them except an included scroll wheel,  I have the 
scancodes that generates but I don't know which command should I map so it 
behaves exactly as a mouse scroll wheel.

Anyone knows how to do this?

Regards,

Re: xorg dies. Modules loaded in wrong order?

[hendrik]

It's definitely an intermittent problem.  I've changed nothing (except 
to turn off quota checking so I won't have to wait for ages after 
every attempted boot) and etch just booted up properly this morning.
I had booted sarge before I rebooted to etch ... I don't know if that 
might have made a difference...  Now that I've got it up for a few 
minutes, I'll try install the 2.6.15 kernel, just in case that helps.

It's likely nothing you did.  See this message from eariler Sunday:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/07/msg00074.html

I just verified today (Tuesday) that the Contents-i386 files that 
apt-file uses are still being generated empty.  That's a bug.  I 
believe that apt-file cannot work until it can access a proper 
Contents-* file, which means you'll have to wait until that's fixed.

Hello list,

tried out the snapshot from 02/07/06 yesterday on my test drive (after
finally wiping my last Windows install off it) and must say I'm very
impressed ! Made great strides since sarge and feels much more up to
date - and a lovely splash as well (sorry to be so vain).



Yes, I'd agree, progress is happening, but what happened to the Debian
spiral logo?  It's nowhere to be found other than in the install boot
screen, not even as an alternative wallpaper.

Bring back the red spiral logo!

The spiral is the default wallpaper in Gnome.  It's debian-background.svg.

Firefox in Debian uses shared libraries. You, however, can recompile it
any way you want.

Postfix under Debian 3.1 not working

[Scott Dunbar]

Hi all,I'm fairly new to Debian 3.1 and am having problems configuring Postfix.  I've Googled around a bit and there are plenty of people blaming other people but the long and the short of it is that Postfix isn't working.
I'm using the "normal" maps - simple hash maps.  I've played around with DNS settings, both resolv.conf's and many other things but continue to get the exact same error:Jul  3 22:47:30 localhost postfix/virtual[28250]: fatal: gethostbyname: Success
This is using the most recent Postfix that apt-get will get me along with everything - except for the newest kernel (I'm at 2.6.8-2-686) - else that can be upgraded.Any thoughts?  Thanks for any help.

They're both on the same partition--I was under the impression the the

Yes, I've filtered those out.  They don't add enough to justify keeping 
them in the rotation.  Compare, for example, apt and apt-doc.  Most 
descriptions for 'apt-foo' will be like 'Contains documentation for foo 
in various formats', and the interesting exceptions are rare.  
Similarly, -dev, -dbg, -i18n-, and some others are filtered out.

Note that the filtering is currently just done by a regex on the package 
name, so .*book will be be left in.  (autobook and rutebook are left 
out because they're in non-free, not because they're filtered.)

I've thought about it... linking it like that doesn't quite feel right, 
because for most users the information on p.d.o doesn't ADD much in 
terms of discovering new and interesting software (which is the whole 
point - it should answer, "How can this package benefit me / enhance my 
life?").  (Though one might argue that it would be interesting to know 
the suggests, depends, packages with similar tags, etc.)  An ideal 
would be if the package title linked to an informative homepage.  If I 
can come up with some way to automate that...  Obviously my vision is 
to make it simple (think google.com, not yahoo.com).  It might be good 
to put the p.d.o link somewhere else, like along the bottom.

Oops! It turns out 'nil' is a non-empty attribute specification key
word in X fonts.  I don't know what it means in the X windows context,
but whatever it is, that isn't what I intended in this email.

Also, as expected, I am, indeed, having some difficulty matching the
xfree definition of "fixed" by searching in xfontsel.

You sure it's the authentication that's taking the time?  A delay of a

This description of "fixed" is very helpful. I had thought it had to
be something like what you describe, but I haven't found any explanation
by googling. 

My adventure began when I noticed that "fixed" provided a different
font under xorg from the one I have been getting under xfree. From
this, I conclude it is implementation dependent. I'd like to find
where this default is set in xfree, and simply copy what is there into
my xorg resources. It seems to me a better way to get what I want than
searching vast libraries of weird fonts with my limited search skills.

But there is something incomplete about your explanation: when I don't
but the magic line into my resources, I still get a monospace font in
emacs windows, but it is a different one. So there appear to be two
defaults, the "fixed" one and the nil one. Do you happen to know where
the nil one is defined? Might that be in emacs?

Thanks, again.

If it can be done thru a Windows app, it can be done in a Linux app.

Do you know if there are Windows apps to do such tasks?

Thanks, John. Commenting out line 3 fixed the kdeprint/cups1.2
incompatibility problem (1,2,3) on Sid for me.

Resource temporarily unavailable:

[Beginner]

Hi there,

SYS: Debian 3.1, kernel 2.4.27-2-generic alpha GNU/Linux, clamd daemon 0.88.2

When I got in to work this morning my server wiould not allow me (or others) 
access. Even when I 
logged into the console and tried to do an `ls`  it responded with 

(35)Resource temporarily unavailable: couldn't create child process: 35

>From what I can find this is either due to lack of memory or some resource 
>limit. I don't think it's 
the memory as there is 1.2GB and a huge 36GB swap (long story).

procs ---memory-- ---swap-- -io --system-- cpu
 r  b   swpd   free   buff  cache   si   sobibo   incs us sy id wa

>swapon
/dev/sda4   partition   425800  0   -1
/dev/sdh1   partition   355676000   -2


I noticed that there are lots of  clamd processes. If I restart clamd 
it cleans them up but 
within 30 minutes I have another 30 defunct clamd processes (yes it does SMTP 
with clamd 
enabled). I have tried to comment out the ScanArchive option from clamd.conf. 

LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl
FixStaleSocket
User clamav
AllowSupplementaryGroups
ScanMail
# ScanArchive
ArchiveMaxRecursion 5
ArchiveMaxFiles 1000
ArchiveMaxFileSize 30M
ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio 250
ReadTimeout 180
...

However I am not convinced that the option is disabled as the log shows 
"Archive support 
enabled."

So I guess I have a few questions. The server had been up for at least 30 days 
so I guess the 
number of defunct processes would have been in the thousands. Does it look like 
I am looking at 
the right source of my original resource problem? Apart from getting cron to 
restart clamd is there 
something I have overlooked that is allowing the number of defunct processes to 
grow? Or has 
anyone had a similar experience that was due to something else?

Any ideas would be appreciated.
TIA.
Dp.

Sending mail takes ages.

[Pete Clarke]

Hi all,

I have a Debian sarge mailserver, running exim4-daemon-heavy, 
courier-pop/imap etc.


When collecting email or using IMAP everything runs very well indeed, 
however, when sending mail from a standard client (OE, Squirrelmail, Kmail, 
Evolution, OSX mail app etc.) there is a long delay, upto a minute, before 
the authentication process kicks in and the mail is sent.


I am authenticating against an LDAP server (which is running on the same 
box), all other authentications (PAM,  Samba etc.) are instantaneous, it's 
just sending mail that takes forever.


I have googled, but to to avail.. any ideas?

Cheers,


Pete.

I did that and restarted cupsd, it didn't help.  I don't have a usb printer so

See if you have an app called xfontsel.  It's a GUI point and click
interface to fonts.  Note the "spc" column.  For terminal fonts, "c"
and "m" apply.  "p" is for proportional fonts, and don't work well in
terminal based apps.

"fixed" is defined by the X Window system as the fallback default
non-proportional (aka. fixed) spacing font, but there's many others to
choose from.  Fiddling with xfontsel for a bit will teach you a lot
about this.

When you find a font you want to try, you can either define it in
~/.Xresources then run "xrdb -merge .Xresources" or just run emacs
supplying the font's name on the command line (-fn|-font).

First of all, you don't need to reinstall Debian to change the setup of
the graphical desktop (the "X Window system"). You just have to become
root and run

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

This will start a series of dialogs which allow you to change the setup.
(The same dialogs that are shown during installation.) The changes will
take effect the next time you start X.

The i810 driver which is shipped with Debian 3.1r2 (also called "Sarge"
or "stable") is unfortunately too old to support i9xx graphics cards.
You can either try the "vesa" driver, which should work OK but will not
give you hardware acceleration and which will maybe have lower
resolution, or you could install a newer version of the X Window system
which is called "Xorg" instead of "XFree86". A specially "backported"
version of Xorg is available from www.backports.org. This version can be
installed on Debian Sarge following the instructions given on this
website. Xorg 6.9 comes with an i810 driver which supports your graphics
card.

btw, you don't have to reinstall debian to change the device driver in 
xorg - dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should be fine.


what are the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log? (just the relevant parts). 
i810 driver should work fine with this.

also posting you xorg.conf together with lspci and lsmod output would help.

Support for Intel 915GM 910GML Chipset Family

[Inder [GTL]]

Hi.

I have tried installing Debian 3.1r2 on my laptop. The
chipset installed on it is Intel 915GM/GMS 910GML Express Chipset Family.
Initially I selected vga option while configuring the display device driver, which
gave a very bloated image on the desktop. To rectify that I reinstalled debian
and selected i810 driver, this made the desktop disappear altogether. 

 

Kindly recommend the driver that would work properly on the
said chipset.

 

Regards.

 Search for a word or an expression in the whole terminal `history'.
 This is very useful, almost indispensable in some cases.
 I used to use that quite often with KDE graphical environment,
 before switching to Gnome.

if you added new disk(s), I'd create raid1 in degraded mode, LVM on it
(them) and copied filesystems to the new LVM. Then I would remove old LVM,
and added old disk(s) to RAID1.

Try this:

apt-get install --reinstall gnome-panel-data

followed by:

apt-get remove gnome-panel-data

The idea is to restore the missing files by reinstalling the package.

You have two choices:

1. Keep your copy of ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (which looks like it was written by
the theme switcher) and put further customisations in
~/.gtkrc.mine

2. Replace the contents of ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with the following:

gtk-theme-name="Clearlooks_Cairo-Breathe"
gtk-font-name="Verdana 10"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Industrial"

and don't use the theme switcher again.

The second option certainly gives cleaner output.

how did you create the /aquota.user file? The quota file format is probably
not supported on that filesystem. see manpage of "convertquota" command,
you can use it to convert to proper file format. Or, you can just purge it
and run "quotacheck" on it.

You only have the base installed. Use apt-cdrom to add the rest of the
CDs. Then, You can just use apt-get install x-window-system-core to
get X, and install KDE, GNOME or whatever Window Manager you want. If
you also want a display manager ofr graphical login, install xdm or
