you're missing the point tom. I was providing the output of that
command from *my* machine so that you could see what you're perms
should look like and change them appropriately. I provided you with
all the files and directories under my /var that were *not* owned by
root so you could compare and make adjustments as needed. I would
expect you'd get only a handful of items from that command as you
chown'ed the whole thign to root...
Anyway, pull up that previous email and take a look at the
attachement.

(one could also get crazy > and imagine putting arbitrary tags on packages) yeah, i see what you mean. Personally, if I install a build-dep, I want it to stick around and and stay in good shape like any other package. My hacking is done intermittently at best and having a build-dep go out of sync when I'm not looking would be frustrating. > > I don't see the point of duplicating the functionality of "source", > except that it means you can avoid running apt-get. hmmm... I'mnot sure I understand this. Why not have aptitude be a complete replacement for apt-get? I mean, if aptitude already replaces some sufficiently large portion of apt-get's functionality, why not take it the rest of the way so that aptitude users can stay with aptitude? Of course I ask this purely out of curiosity as I have zero time ATM to put into hacking on aptitude. :( one of the things that keeps recurring here is various discussions about aptitude and its supposed propensity for removing whole swaths of packages at inopportune moments. A lot of folks blame this on switching back and forth between aptitude and apt-get. Of course, you've said that this won't happen, and I believe you, but there is still this impression being perpetuated on this list. My thinking is that completing the duplication of functionality between apt-get and aptitude would eliminate the percieved problem. Of course that's not a very good reason to write code ;-P. > > So I guess the answer wrt plans is that I have vague and mushy plans > to implement build-dep, and no particular interest in implementing > source (there are many higher-priority items in the input queue). thanks for the update.

The thing that bothers me, sometimes, about build-dep is that I have no way of deleting the build-dep once I don't need it. There would be real value in adding this command to aptitude if there was a way to tag packages installed by it for future removal. (one could also get crazy and imagine putting arbitrary tags on packages) I don't see the point of duplicating the functionality of "source", except that it means you can avoid running apt-get.

I have 5 wireless interfaces set up on my T40. Some of them will not come up if I do the 'iwconfig wlan0 essid "myAP"' _before_ I do the 'ifconfig wlan0 up'. It seems to depend on the different drivers but the ifconfig works, here, for all of them. So I have a small script that I use to bring up which ever one I want to use. The script brings up all the interfaces in the same way. 1. Bring up the interface using 'ifconfig ' 2. Run 'iwlist scan' 3, Get which AP to connect to. (any) is allowed 4. Run 'iwconfig essid (answer from 3)' 5. Run 'dhclient ' 6. Run 'ifconfig ' (To show the connection is up.) I also don't use WPA on my AP as I have the dhcp server set to allow only our MAC addresses and have it set to assign static IP addresses based on those MAC's. We are very rural here. :-) Besides being only on dialup now. > wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801 > wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801 > Listening on LPF/wifi0/ > Sending on LPF/wifi0/ > Sending on Socket/fallback > DHCPDISCOVER on wifi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5 > DHCPDISCOVER on wifi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12 > DHCPDISCOVER on wifi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14 > DHCPDISCOVER on wifi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11 > DHCPDISCOVER on wifi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12 > DHCPDISCOVER on wifi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 > No DHCPOFFERS received. > No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. > > Something wrong with DHCP on the AP?

I am running Debian "testing". I did nothing other than to plug the
Zen (which is a "Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra") into my USB hub,
and gnomad2 was able to see it.
See the gnomad2 project page on sourceforge.net ("Getting your
Jukebox/Zen running under Linux"). See also the gnomad2 README.
I did experience inconsistent behaviour with the USB ports on my
desktop machine, which has an ASUS P4PE motherboard. Plugging a cable
from the Zen directly into the machine did not always work, but
plugging into a Belkin USB hub which was plugged into the machine
worked every time.

Just occasionally, I fire up synaptic to browse a category, say stuff to do with sound, or mail for example. It is slightly easier in synaptic to browse than it is in aptitude. And I wish you could reverse direction in mid-search in aptitude. I often race past a relevant match by being too quick on the "n". If only "b" for back or "p" for previous or "N" or whatever switched the direction without having to reenter the search using \ or page up enough times to probably pass whatever it was you didn't quite see...

Really the only reason I did this was so when I wanted to ping it, I could use the machine name which is 3 letters long, verses the ip number which is 12 char long. Anyway, after that - printing and smbclient -H username started to work. I don't know why, but then I guess I more want to use the machine, then become an expert in debian so I suppose, I am satisfied as long as it continues to work. I admit, I hate when things just start working, or doing something for reason x solves problem y as serendipity. Oh well THANKS very much for all your help. I 'think' everything is working now.

IIRC, I eventually got it to work with gtkpod, which was able to eject the pod so that is "allowed" me to unplug it. It was my first adventure with an mp3 player, so I may just have been being stupid. Anyway my son borrowed it and never gave it back, so I was free to buy a Samsung YP-K3 instead. After a rather hairy experience "upgrading" the firmaware to the Taiwan version, it is far easier, reads ogg or mp3 files, can be managed via konqueror, mc or simply cli! But listening to the pod while it is attached? I had the impression that was impossible with either machine. Not that that helps -- I suppose you were not thinking of lending the ipod permanently as a solution... -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Charging iPod / Listening to music
Hi there, When I plug my iPod using the USB cable I get the 'Do not disconnect' screen on the ipod. It's great because I can see the ipod is charging. But to listen to music I do not understand what I need to do. I tried: $ eject /dev/sda -> return an error Then I tried : $ sudo rmmod usb_storage It works, I can listen to music again, but even if the cable is pluged it does not seems to be charging... and doing a 'modprobe usb_storage' leads me to the 'do not disconnect' screen back again. Using: debian stable, dmesg returns: ... scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access AppleiPod 1.62 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 Thanks for suggestion, -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

MIMEDefang Logging Question
I was wondering if somebody would be able to shed some light on a problem I am having with MIMEDefang logging to syslog. I have compiled MIMEDefang from source instead of using the Debian packages. I am running a Debian testing system otherwise. Right after I restart the MIMEDefang process my logs will look like this: Oct 28 04:15:02 apple mimedefang.pl[12585]: greylist: white; 0; 82.118.211.*; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; After about 5-10 minutes, the logs will change to this: Oct 28 09:44:18 apple check[5889]: greylist: white; 0; 70.103.162.*; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; The first logs are logged in /var/log/maillog which is correct. But, the problem ones get logged to /var/log/messages. If you notice it says the process is now check instead of mimedefang.pl sending the output. How come that changed? I have restarted mimedefang and sysklogd, but no change. It was running fine for a couple of days, but then the above started happening. I have been running this same MIMEDefang on a Gentoo box with no problems. This is only on the Debian setup that I have this. Where is this "check" coming from? And, how can I monitor why the syslog facility is changing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

One being an Acer 1350 and the other an Acer 3610. Only have solar power, so have to rely on laptops and watch DVD's on them as well. I didn't know about the bug. Maybe ignorance is bliss in this case. Also installed the alsamixergui package, thinking that it would work best with the sound card it discovered. It works well on both machines. I don't think anything other than that was done, and I use Debian testing on both, just in case that makes a difference? So maybe its something particular to your Acer lappy? Thanks for the heads up about udevtrigger. I might need that for a machine I install for someone else in the future.

I think getting NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE means that there is at least some communication between client and host, so we can probably rule out elementary network problems. Nevertheless it cannot hurt to try pinging the host from the client and making sure that there isn't a firewall on the host blocking access of the client. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

A hundred times. It says ALSA is ready to use, and wishes me a lot of fun. As long as it's happy... In fact the link given earlier in the thread to http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Sound_in_Debian_GNU/Linux says: Alsaconf is so buggy that it is best not to use it at the moment (according to [bug no 432678]). You now have to use udevtrigger instead of alsaconf. But that did nothing useful either as far as I could tell.

Its a tmp directory, so you should be able to do that and have kde recreate whatever it needs there. hth A signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Assume you want a bunch of images to be rearranged and renamed GreatVacation(101).jpg (the first image is 101, next 102 and so on). Based on memory, here are the steps I followed: 1. Open of the folder containing the pictures and arrange all your pics by dragging and dropping them in the order you want. 2. Select the images that you want renamed sequentially. 3. Select the "Rename" option by right clicking on the *first image*. 4. The name of the file will become editable. Enter the name of you want and the number you want the first file to be. In our example, we would type: GreatVacation (101).jpg Note the space before the first parenthesis. The space and parenthesis, both are necessary. 5. Press Enter. The files will be renamed. If you make a mistake, I think you can just click Undo from the menu at the top of the window and repeat the process. Now, what number to use in the parenthesis depends on the number of pictures you have. If you just used (1) instead, the pictures will start from 1, go on to 10 and and then to 100 so on. But they won't be listed in the proper order later on due to the number of digits varying after 9, after 99 and so on. Using (101), or (1001) or (10001) just fixes the width of the numbers. In any case, you are stuck with the space and the parenthesis in the filename, neither of which I like in a filename. I fix that in Linux using a little Bash script I wrote. If you want that, let me know and I will paste it here. regards, ->HS

Fluxbox 1.0 -- issue with transparent icons on toolbar
Hello I'm running once-a-day updated Debian testing (I believe it's called "lenny"). Today my aptitude safe-upgrade installed the newest version of Fluxbox -- 1.0. After rebooting my computer, I found out that it doesn't display icons on toolbar correctly. I think it's an issue with only PNGs with aplha channel. I.e. rocket from Psi (old 0.10 release) is surrounded by bright orange. Opera's logo is surrounded by bright grey. Of course on previous version of Fluxbox -- 1.0rc3 -- everything was fine. I have GeForce FX 5200 graphic card and I'm using free "nv" driver. I have libimlib2 package installed at version 1.3.0.0debian1-4. I tried reinstalling all xserver-xorg-video-nv, imlib-base, libimlib2, libpng12-0 and imagemagick packages, but after # startx -- :1 new instance of Fluxbox had the same issue. Did anybody had the same problem? How can I get things fixed? Or is it known issue and I have to switch back to Fluxbox 1.0rc3 for some time to have things working? Thanks in advance for all your help. PS. Please don't mind my poor English, Polish is my mother-tongue. -- Niżej podpisany, zamieszkały w http://minio.xt.pl , Mirosław Zalewski

There's a multitude of possible fixes for this one. I've had no problems with my Debian, Sarge, Etch, and Lenny installs, all on the same machine, but a Fedora version had shutdown problems on this machine, and appending the kernel line with acpi=force in /boot/grub/grub.conf fixed it.

See section "CUPS and Samba" here: http://wiki.debian.org/CUPS To test your ability to access the SMB-shared printer, run this command on the client machine: smbclient -U USER -L //HOST This will list all SMB-shares (folders, printers, etc.) which USER can access on HOST.

It is also possible to bypass Samba by using ipp:// to connect to the print server or by putting the appropriate ServerName into the client's cupsd.conf file.

iptables and virtual hosts problem
Hello! I have a server which is running 2 different virtual hosts (vserver), let's call them S for the server, A and B for the virtual hosts A and B. S, A and B have different ip-addresses (say s.s.s.s, a.a.a.a and b.b.b.b). Since the server isn't really forwarding anything I haven't used the FORWARD chain for anything, and I use INPUT and OUTPUT to regulate the flow to the different servers, for example: iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P OUTPUT DROP iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -I INPUT -d a.a.a.a -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT on the server seems to do what I want. In the example above letting A and only A answer requests on port 80. However, when I try to regulate the flow of traffic between the different "machines" (S, A, and B) strange things happen. For example: iptables -I OUTPUT -d a.a.a.a -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT doesn't only allow any of the "machines" to try to contact port 25 on A, but it *also allows A to answer* !!! I would very much like to know why: iptables -I INPUT [...] -d a.a.a.a -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT isn't required.

I would disagree. Aptitude supports command-line operation as well as interactive. What I meant by that is that the project's goals and focus have always been on interactivity. This isn't a matter of excluding particular lines of development, but most of the work that goes into aptitude is weighted towards its interactive features. That's one reason, for instance, that the "show" output from the command-line is prettier than in apt-get, but slower and less useful to scripts. These deficiencies could be corrected, but they are lower-priority than, say, improving interactive dependency handling and fixing UI glitches. Also, I was trying to gently point out that there's more to aptitude than the command-line. Excluding generic shared code, the rest of aptitude is about 6 times larger than the command-line interface, and it would be nice to think people occasionally use all that stuff. :-) I occasionally notice people writing that they just discovered aptitude's curses interface after using it for ages, so I know that this isn't universally known. Daniel Aptitude user interface is really great. When I started with debian there was just dselect and I don't think that was user friendly. Just aptitude and synaptic too make debian easier for normal users. Anyway it's pity that aptitude doesn't (maybe I just can't find it) source download. Something like apt-get source package. Anyway it has really better problems-with-packages solving :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: ssh into chroot
Hey, I've had a similar problem in BSD jails, sshd on the host system defaulted to listen to all interfaces and hence began listening on the virtual device assigned to the jail (or in this case chroot?). This was fixed in a single line in the sshd config file. Perhaps a similar problem is occurring here. cheers, Owen. On Tue, 2007-10-30 at 01:58 -0700, Todd A.

Help with init script?
I'm trying to control a BitTorrent seed from an init script. The
original init script (that I wrote) is in /etc/init.d/btseed. It starts
and stops a script that is in /usr/local/bin/btseed. This script just
starts btlaunchmany, which is used to seed multiple .torrents.
I couldn't get Debian Etch's btlaunchmany to work, so I installed the
.deb for the current upstream BitTorrent that's found at
http://download.bittorrent.com/dl/ When I run that version's
btlaunchmany manually, it works fine.
My problem is that btlaunchmany forks a couple child processes. When I
try to stop my daemon, my script itself exits but the child processes
don't. I think I could fix this by putting a signal handler in my
script that will kill the child processes, but I don't know how to do
that. I'm also not sure of what would be the best way to identify the
child process' process ID numbers. Perhaps ps | grep would do.
My btseed script takes no command line parameters. Here is the code to
start the daemon from /etc/init.d/btseed:
d_start() {
echo -n "$NAME"
start-stop-daemon --start --background --quiet \
--make-pidfile --pidfile "$PIDFILE" \
--chuid nobody \
--exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMONOPTS
}
Here is the code to stop it:
d_stop() {
start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --quiet --pidfile "$PIDFILE"
}
I have experimented with giving --signal to start-stop-daemon to try
giving different signals to btseed, but nothing seemed to help.
Here is the btseed script:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/btlaunchmany.py --max_upload_rate 128 \
--save_in /var/bittorrent/torrentfiles \
--torrent_dir /var/bittorrent/active \
--minport 5 \
--maxport 51000 \
--data_dir /var/bittorrent/data | /bin/bzip2 >
/var/bittorrent/logs/bt.log.bz2
The reason I didn't just run btlaunchmany.py directly from the init
script is that I need to pipe its output through bzip2 and redirect it
to a file. I wasn't clear on how I could do that from the
start-stop-daemon command line.
Compressing the log is necessary because btlaunchmany.py's output is
quite verbose, and will fill a filesystem quickly.
The nonstandard port numbers are an effort to work around ISPs who
filter BitTorrent traffic. This doesn't always work, but probably does
in some cases. The BitTorrent protocol itself handles the nonstandard
port numbers without any trouble.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
