Looking at the Samba book seems great but is Samba all I need? Samba and NFS are two different protocols for the same stuff and can be used independently. If you need to access the server from XP then you definitely need Samba and not NFS. Samba is MS's file sharing protocol (SMB), but better implemented ;) If you can read the shares on the server, but can't write to them this can be easily fixed. You need to tinker with the /etc/samba/smb.conf on the server. The file itself is well commented and also includes some examples. Otherwise you can find lots of docs in the samba-doc package.

So are you wanting a fast responsive multuser, multitasking, computer system or are you wanting a single disk to perform well on a single benchmark? NCQ is about enabling an ATA disk to handle requests for different segments of the disk. The test in 1. probably doesn't issue a bunch of seek requests at once and average the time, rather it probably sequentially issues seek requests and times the results then averages. If you have an IO bottleneck on your computer, try to determine its nature. If it occurs during a pure sequential read (with no other competing drive requests from other processes) then look at the data transfer rate and compare that with the drive spec, and the MB's spec. As for accoustical measures, I believe that they depower the seek motor which makes the head arm move slower, lengthening seek time.

Re: Can't disable NCQ, /sys/block/sdc/device/queue_depth is readonly
There are two reasons: 1) After coming across a simple random seek benchmark, I am finding that my WD raptor 10K drive is giving me about 10 ms seek time, where other raptors benchmarked with the same program are reporting 7.5 - 8.0 ms. This is a fairly substantial difference, and I am trying to track it down. (As an aside, I found that enabling acoustic management made a great difference on several drives - about a 30% increase is seek time.) 2) From my reading about NCQ, one of the quirks of Raptors is that when NCQ is enabled, the drive disables its internal readahead. This results in significantly reduced sequential throughput. Apparently the windows drivers have some workarounds to deal with this. I'l like to be able to test to see what effect NCQ has on these issues. I find it very strange that the official interface for controlling this seems to be broken (or misconfigured on my system), and I could not find anything useful about this via google.

Until you get a proper MD5 or SHA hash result, don't worry about K3B. md5sums is faster. If they don't match and you can't get torrent to work, since you say its 85% complete, just get rsync to fix it (see the mirrors page for the rsync mirror, I go stright to the main site in Sweden).

The easiest way to set up a printer is to install the package printconf, and then run it. It's a similar utility to alsaconf (that sets up soundcards for you). The description for printconf is: printconf - automatically configures USB and parallel printers with CUPS As root, in the terminal, just enter the command printconf. It should work. It depends on what type of printer you have, though (some printers, like Canon, don't work well with Linux, I find). Installing xterm and fluxbox should be the same as installing anything else: # aptitude install fluxbox xterm or, you could use synaptic or apt.

I have only been running it on my laptop for a couple of weeks and I just decided to setup one of my desktops as a server and one other desktop with Linux. So to answer some of the other questions, I don't know how the shares are mounted. I am unsure how to set the perms on the mount points. Now all of a sudden I can't even get my server to allow me into the Desktop->Admin->Shared folders. When I click on it, it just hangs there. I think I am going to do a clean install again on the server later this evening and then try to setup the shares. On the directories themselves I have given everyone read, write and access authority. I am sure this isn't the best method but it is only on my home network server that is behind a firewall. I did install the debian docs and looked in there but Chapter 10 was really all about setting up a network for internet/mail/web access. That is already done and working just fine. I originally had shares working with Samba, but all I could do is read the drive and not write to them.

It does this on first packet of an connection. If DF bit is set, any router which finds out that the packet is too big and should be fragmented sends back ICMP "fragmentation needed" reply. Sending host then sends smaller packet which will pass further to the destination or another router which needs to fragment it... This process is calles 'path MTU discovery' and is designed to send packets with optimal sizes that should not be fragmented. The process is repeated from time to time to ansure that if path changes and bigger packets wil be allowed, they would be used. You can turn off this feature, but it has nothing to do with packets your router is routing, only on packets it sends. I don't see why someone would want to disable packets fragmentation, but I think this requirement comes from wrong understanding of how network works. > As a result, your packets are limited by the various MTU sizes.

You are probably talking about gigabit ethernet. I don't think that classic ethernet allows paccket bigger than 1500B (unless vlans are used, but such packets are only ~8B bigger and it's just their header) -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.

Flash seems to have not work in Konqueror
This afternoon, in order to solve a long term font problem in GTK apps I effectively removed pango and related packages. For some reason that meant the flash stuff. When I put it all back, youtube in particular, but other sites as well have stopped working. However they do work in Iceweasel. Is anyone else, with a recent update to Sid experiencing similar problems.

timeline application?
Hi, I have Debian installed on 12 partitions across 3 drives. Most of them are interrelated: they came from each other via backup/restores. I would like to show that interrelation graphically. Is there an application that draws timelines? E.g Now I run on SDA6 USB disk that was restored on 3/3/7 from a mondo backup of Sid running on HDC1, I am doing a Sid build-dep that is taking hours. But the active system is USB disk SDA5 that was restored on 3/21/7 from SDA6, etc. That makes much more sense graphically than in prose...

can't copy to /dev/parport0
I've successfully installed VMware Server 1.0.2-39867 on my Etch machine (as host) with the help of the any-any-update109 patch. To print to my parallel printer, the VMware virtual machine needs the ppdev and parport_pc modules loaded in Linux, and they are. It also requires that the lp module not be loaded. (This is all in the VMware manual.) When I set all that up, the virtual machine prints fine. I have a problem, though, because I have Linux programs I like that print to /dev/lp0 and require the lp module to be loaded. So now they fail. I thought I might just recompile them to use /dev/parport0, but that failed. I can copy the console to /dev/lp0 and see it print (if lp is loaded). But when I try "cat > /dev/parport0", I get cat: write error: Invalid argument with or without lp loaded. Should I be able to copy to /dev/parport0? If not, how can I copy to the parallel port without having lp loaded? A minor question is also how lp gets loaded. It's now in /etc/modules.conf. Thanks.

The system however that's because the wm doesn't know the resolution has changed. you can restart the wm (icewm has a menu option for this... except you can't get to it cause the toolbar is off the screen...). sending a HUP to icewm and see if that fixes it up for you.

mutt courier exim4 - configuration help required
I am really beginning to hate squirrelmail. It doesn't thread, it doesn't break lines to 72 (or whatever) chars... But I am stuck with using it unless someone can tell me where to look for my misconfiguration. I have a server (actually a vm with Bytemark) on which I run courier-imap and exim4. Then I can log on from anywhere and read my mail using mutt on the laptop. When I want to reply, I have to open the same mailbox in squirrelmail and reply from there. There are two issues AFAICS. I could send by sshing onto the server and running mutt there, or I can configure something so that the mutt on the laptop can send mail. Running on the server is less convenient obviously. 1 - mutt on the server. Mutt runs, but access over a slowish connection (GPRS) seems halting and in any case mail delivery fails. Mutt thinks it has gone, but each attempt to send has a set of messages in /var/log/exim4/mainlog similar to this: 2007-05-05 13:35:42 1HkJUE-000170-0o ** [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Unrouteable address 2007-05-05 13:35:42 1HkJUE-000170-0o ** [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Unrouteable address 2007-05-05 13:35:42 1HkJUE-000170-0o ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Unrouteable address 2007-05-05 13:35:42 1HkJUE-000170-0o ** [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Unrouteable address 2007-05-05 13:35:42 1HkJUE-000170-0o ** [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Unrouteable address 2007-05-05 13:35:42 1HkJUE-000170-0o *> [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smartho st H=smtp.bytemark.co.uk [80.68.81.166] after which it is never heard of again (i.e. never arrives). I don't have the first idea where to look for this problem. I found nothing useful with google. 2 - mutt on the laptop. If I want to send mail from mutt on the laptop, I can either use the ISP's smarthost (which means a different configuration depending where I am accessing the net) or send via the imap server which sends by the smarthost of Bytemark (which is presumably what squirrelmail does). But my mailserver of course rejects what it sees as relays (I guess this is debian default configuration, and I obviously do not want to allow relays). So I assume I need to set up some kind of authenticated remote logon. I have four times tried to follow the guide to configuring Exim4 and Courier IMAP under Debian at http://trekweb.com/~jasonb/articles/exim4_courier/index.html but am always snagged by the chapter on TLS which seems to set up okay, but near the end when the authentication goes "live" causes an error "*** No acceptable authentication types available" As there is no indication what might be the problem, and again google produced no useful help, I have had to unpick the work and abandon the exercise. So, can anyone who uderstands mail explain to me where to look for help on any of the above, or where else to find a guide to configuration that would allow me secure remote access to the imap using mutt?

Broken AMD-64-DVD-ISO-image retrieved via bittorrent
After downloading "debian-40r0-amd64-DVD-1.iso" via bittorrent two days ago, I was unable to write the image to DVD. K3B said, that it was actually not an ISO-image. The md5-sum computed by k3b did not match the one found in the corresponding MD5SUMS-file.

Help with setting up home network
Can anyone point me to some docs that would help me configure my home network? I have one machine that is setup as a file/web/mail server and then I want to access it from my laptops and desktops. These machines are a mixture of XP and Debian machines. Currently I am most intrested in getting access to the server from the debian machines first. I have tried using Samba and NFS, but I am having difficulty getting write access to the drives.

MATLAB: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.
Since a recent upgrade to sid I've started getting this error whenever I try to startup matlab. This seems to come from the java environment since disabling java removes the error (but also the gui and the ability to open images). I tried googling around and this comes up with relation to several programs and seems to be linked to libxrandr or similar. Something with a bug in the lock code. It's supposedly fixed in the git version of libxrandr but debian seems to be using the latest version as far as I can tell. Anyone knows what this is about, or more importantly, how to solve it?

Re: Remote HOME with SSHfs
Hi, it may not be exactly what you wanted in the first place: Have you thought about having your home in a svn repo? I had (after some quirks with the first checkout) most of my $HOME (including dotfiles, excluding .subversion) in a svn and it works very reliably. Pros: disconnected operations (no problems with chicken egg problems - e.g. I need my ssh key to mount the ssh file system, which is on the remote file system) versioned data (accidental deletions aren't a problem any more) Cons: needs more space (versioned data...) you have to adapt your work cycle slightly to the svn workcycle...

[Etch] pppoe problem - unable to ping or lookup
Hello, I just installed Etch using the netinstall CD. Also installed pppoe using dpkg, from the CD packages manually. pppoe detects and makes the connection. ifconfig shows the ppp0 details and the ip too. But I'm unable to ping any remote servers. I am able to ping the ISP gateway though. The connection is fine using windows. I even tried with knoppix and it is the same with knoppix too. The only difference I can see in debian's connection and knoppix's is the output of "route -n" Knoppix doesn't put any local (eth0) ip in the route whereas debian does. I don't know if there's anything else that is causing the problem or if pppoeconf is outdated now and now working with my provider? I was able to connect at times using knoppix and at other times this problem occurs. Unless I am able to connect, I can not install any packages. I'm left with a minimal install of Etch. There's not even the nslookup, or host commands, nor telnet. Atleast ssh exists so I tested with that. What do I do?

Code names were/are a convenience for developers and discussion and widespread use came about following Debian 1.0 :) As my fairly regular message goes: stable/testing/unstable don't necessarily refer to stability of the apps. They do relate to how fast/far the archive changes over time: unstable may mean large package churn daily/weekly and testing will periodically receive very large changes. Stable, however, once released is designed to be unconditionally stable - new features/versions are NOT introduced. Security fixes are back ported to avoid unpleasant surprises mid-release cycle. Stable serves a very useful purpose: it reminds me that the machine is meant to be stable - "Etch" may not mean anything to anyone else but "stable" does, especially to the ears of management :) Two years from now, you may be struggling to recall codenames immediately but you will know the difference between Debian 3.0, 3.1 and 4.0 It might be an idea to change policy for stable on just one package: with the final release of say, Sarge (which came a few hours before the release of Etch) change the base configuration files so that they and the /etc/apt/sources.list flip to oldstable. If the change is also publicised on the mailing lists etc. - those who don't want to get hit by the upgrade don't have to follow it immediately. If need be, add an optional little package "staystable" which does this change which conflicts/replaces "trackrelease" (this might be handled with a debconf question as an alternative).

Or just run this from a command line: gconftool --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible --type=bool false Hope this helps -- Karl E.

Idiot needs help enabling php in apache or apache2
Hi! I guess I'm an idiot, and I'm certain this is somewhere right in front of my eyes, but I can't seem to enable php on my webserver. I've tried both apache and apache2, following the instructions from www.debian-administration.org. I get the webserver working, and I apt-get install libapache-mod-php4 (or for apache2, or the php5 equivalent for either apache version), and I use apache-modconf or a2enmod to enable the module, but still the browsers won't recognize the php file I point them at. I must be missing something very obvious :(. Here's what works: Straight html files in my users public_html, htaccess etc. Here's what doesn't: php scripts in my users public_html (the browser wants to download them or open with an editor) What I want to be able do is to install the latest wordpress version (i e not the one distributed with etch) in my users public_html. I do this as a test run, because I need to use that wordpress version on a remote non-debian server later. My mysql database is set to go, and everything required for wordpress has been installed afaik (for instance, if I do apt-get install wordpress, it only needs the wordpress package). I just can't get apache to recognize php. If anyone reads this and thinks: 'duh! simple!', it would help tremendously if you would throw me a line or two! /landhaj __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Octave should look for installed .m files everytime it starts. If
somehow it still doesn't detect your files, a simple workaround may be
creating a ~/.octaverc file with the following content:
addpath("/where/your/m/files/are")
