Re: Driver loaded, now, how do I access the camera? (SOLVED)
Marc Shapiro wrote: OK. I Manually downloaded the gspca-source module and did 'm-a update' and when I went through the steps it seemed to build OK, but did not load. Silly me! Once I unplugged the camera and re-plugged it in, the driver loaded just like it ought to. At least is seems to have done so. Running lsmod shows the gspca module and a few other new modules.

Now, how do I access the camera, so that I can capture an image to be processed? I am currently thinking of using opencv through either C/C++ or Python. How would I access the camera to generate an image (probably jpeg) that I could then save to disk or, preferably, pipe to opencv? OK. I have a C program using opencv that opens a jpeg file , inverts it and displays it. I had tried to modify it to grab a frame from the camera, instead of a file, but it had not worked, hence, my last post. Today I tried again and now it seems to be working just fine. I didn't do anything different, but it is working now, so I am happy.

Debian Lenny freezes in X
Hi I'm running Debian Lenny (kernel 2.6.22-2) on my laptop Asus M6Ne. After 5-10 min. in X the system freezes up (or part of it). When it happens, the keyboard and hotkeys stops responding. But the usb mouse/touchpad still works, although I can't change desktop, focus windows and etc. Half the time the powerbutton works and I can make a proper shutdown, the other it's killing the power. I've also tried with the standard ati module and the proprietary module fglrx. Wifi (ipw2200) module isn't loaded. I normally use Xfce4, but I read on bugs.debian.org something regarding freeze and audio. So yesterday I started using Gnome to have a stable X until the other problem got solved. But now I experienced a freeze, similar to the Xfce4. So now I'm quite lost on where to start. /Lars -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Syslog Server on Debian Etch
I'm trying to configure a syslog server on Debian Etch, but so far the only walkthrough I've found is for Debian Sarge. The walkthrough says to modify the /etc/init.d/sysklogd file at the line that says: SYSLOGD="" and change it to SYSLOGD="-r -m0" There is no such line in the sysklogd file. I added it, but it doesn't seem to be logging. Have stopped and restarted the service, rebooted the server and still my log file is at 0 bytes. In the /etc/syslog.conf, I added the line: Local7.debug/mnt/hdb1/syslog/logfilename.log And it did automatically create the file, but nothing's going into it from either the Netscreen firewall or the test Windows server. And I don't see anything listening on port 514 with a netstat. Anyone know a way to jumpstart it to get it running? Thanks in advance.

What he means though is that Debian is not part of PDL; PDL has apparently taken Debian software and put together a pen drive with it. Not knowing anything about PDL (until you've mentioned it), most Debian folks therefore can only guess at what might be causing your issues. For example, one guess I can make is that you may need to feed the kernel some parameter at startup, such as "NOAPIC". But since we (as "Debian" in general) don't know how PDL is constructed, Doug's advice is good advice; see if you can find a support link on the pendrivelinux.com site; that'll be more likely to provide you with the solution you need.

Its own versions are installed in its own directory, they don't replace the etch system versions. Besides, looking over google, I have read a statement which says that salome works well both in sarge and etch without installing anything (I imagine it refers to the sarge binary, since to build salome you would need to install both etch and non-etch dependencies, such as netgen). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Fow anyone who knows debian, please help me the following: In FC6, the tftp script is in xinetd.d, I can call xinetd restart to include tftp service. In Debian, I could not find a tftp script in init.d. In fact, I could not find a tftp script under /etc. How can I get the tftp service? Thank you.

Re: disable mounting of bogus CD device on Toshiba USB stick?
They are two separate devices, the cdrom one is not writable, and k3b can't burn stuff to it either. Hopefully the U3 uninstaller will work. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Might see if I can contact them and extract some protocol specs or code for disabling it, hopefully there will be a way to disable it from Linux in the future. > Apart from using the uninstaller, I do not think there is any way to > disable the annoying cdrom completely. Should have been opt-in from the start, I'll be sure not to buy Toshiba stuff in future. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I use it when I have to, but after years of using it off and on I still do things like accidentally insert 127 copies of the letter 'a' into my file. If you do that, you hit "u" for "undo"... Using vi requires you to keep track of the editor's state in your head -- you have to remember whether it's in input mode or command mode. I've never been able to do that reliably. As someone else pointed out, vim and others show what mode you're in at the bottom of the screen. Perhaps you were using nvi or some older version that doesn't have a visual indication of mode? -- Nate Duehr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
