maturedebs: sightly stable unstable

2008-02-06 Thread jidanni
Gentlemen, why not let the others get cut on the cutting edge of
Debian sid whilst we relax and wait oh, say 72 hours for the packages
we want to stabilize? Slightly stable unstable, but not too stable as
to be stale as stable.

Sure, man apt.conf mentions Max-Age, but that is only for index files
and we want Min-Age anyway. Anyway, here we go:

#!/usr/bin/perl
# maturedebs -
# Choose slightly more stable Debian unstable (sid) packages:
# Given a list of .deb URIs, one per line on STDIN,
# output the ones that are older than ARGV[0] hours:
# $0 hours < URIs

use strict;
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
use HTTP::Request;
use HTTP::Date;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Status;
my $r = HTTP::Request->new( HEAD => );
$r->header( 'If-Modified-Since', time2str( time - ( pop @ARGV ) * 60 * 60 ) );
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

while (<>) {
$r->uri($_);
print if ( $ua->request($r)->code == RC_NOT_MODIFIED );

Use it like
$ apt-get --print-uris -yy -qq dselect-upgrade|
perl -nwle "/'(.*)'/&&print \$1"|maturedebs 72|xargs wget
or something etc. etc. perhaps. Just a start.
Step two is then apt-get --no-download --fix-missing etc.
Sorry. See ya. Bye.

Huge fonts: X / KDE may be ignoring DisplaySize

2008-02-06 Thread Edward C. Jones

I use up-to-date Debian unstable, amd64 port, on my pc. I use KDE. The
monitor is an Acer AL2016W. The graphics board is an nVidia GeForce FX 5500.
I usually do not reboot after running synaptic to update my system.

When I rebooted on 2/6, I found that much of the text in KDE was in huge
fonts. X or KDE seemed to be ignoring the DisplaySize command in xorg.conf.
I found two threads in in the debian-x mailing list for Jan 08 that may be
relevant. The first is "Bug#461501: xserver-xorg-core: dpi set to 96 inspite
of DisplaySize option". The second is "Bug#461457: xorg: Doesn't honour
DisplaySize".

What should I do to fix my problem?

Here are parts of Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf:

/var/log/Xorg.0.log:

(**) NV(0): Display dimensions: (430, 270) mm
(**) NV(0): DPI set to (148, 216)

/etc/X11/xorg.conf:

  Do you have the Flash plugin installed?  That seems to be implicated

  Any package that isn't in an archive with Origin: Debian will be
matched by that expression; whoever provides the vuescan package would
have had to go out of their way to label their archive as being a Debian
archive in order for this to happen.  "apt-cache policy vuescan" and/or
"apt-cache showpkg vuescan" might give a hint about what's happening.

I just re-booted and restarted Iceweasel. (22 windows,

There you go. As others reported before, Flash doesn't play nicely on 
Iceweasel. 22 youtube windows will certainly crash Iceweasel.
This is a behavior I have noticed on Iceweasel as well. Load flash 
intensive pages or lots of pages that has flash components in Iceweasel 
and the weasel looses its cool and crashes. Sometimes it just freezes 
other times it terminates on its own.
However upon restarting Iceweasel it asks to restore the crashed session 
or start a new session. If you don't get that prompt, then your 
configuration has deviated from the default.




Everytime I try to get an internet page, either refresh
or new link, I get the following message, and no page.

The requested URL /~joyce/album/ was not found

It appears that it is really sending the request to
YouTube. I have no idea why!

Youtube is using flash. That's the reason.



Thanks for any help!

I think that means that the card is not "on". Look in
/sys/class/mumblemumblemumble/iwl3945/device/rf_kill. It should be 0
for the card to be on, 1 for the card to be off, by way of the radio

Atleast till the license issues are sorted out.

seems like the new version of truecrypt doesn't need any kernel modes, it uses

make a deb.


so does any one have a deb for amd64

UTF8 is a forced default in Debian's Apache2.
To make apache respect meta tags, comment that line :

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/apache2/conf.d/charset

I've also tried GNOME's network-admin, but that seems to fail with ppp
interfaces. All I get is a "Could not enable interface ppp0". 
Somehow 'ifdown eth0 && ifup ppp0' and 'ifdown ppp0 && ifup eth0' work
on command line. Except 'ifup ppp0' doesn't provide feedback if
something goes from with the ppp setup like it often goes with these
GSM/GPRS thingies.

Problems with apache2 and charsets

2008-02-06 Thread Carles Pagès
Hello,

My apache seems to ignore the charset meta data in the html files, so
iso-8859-1 htmls are not properly displayed. If I store them in utf-8,
then there is no problem, even if iso-8859-1 is specified in the meta
headers.

If I specify the default charset in the apache conf file to be
iso-8859-1 then the iso pages are shown correctly but not utf-8 ones.

So, does anyone know what could be causing this behaviour? I'm using
apache2 in debian stable, if that helps.

Thanks in advance.

I think that's because TBird updates your view of the mailbox

had it crash once right after I did a delete and when I opened the

and start iceweasel from a terminal with


$ iceweasel -safe-mode

This will disable all extensions. If the problem does not occur, start 
iceweasel in normal mode, disable all the extensions by hand and 
re-enable them one at a time until you find the culprit.

Can't do that. I don't have a direct connection, I have
a proxy. It has worked flawlessly for oh ... 10 years,
and still does.

Other systems, Windows 2k, on the network don't have
that problem, and neither do Opera or Konq on this machine.

Tnx,

OT: xmms and last.fm scrobbler

2008-02-06 Thread Sergio Cuéllar Valdés
Hello,

I noticed that xmms is not scrobbling the songs I play. I have not
updated xmms or the plugin. Has anybody of you the same weird problem.
The plugin is still queueing the played songs.

I am using the plugin that can be downloaded from the last.fm site.

I have sniffed the connections made by xmms, and it tries to send the
packet, but it received a  "BADAUTH" message. I checked and rechecked
the password and username, it is correct.

Has anybody of you the same problem ?

Best regards,
Sergio Cuellar

What does your sources.list look like? I could understand this behavior
if you had non-Debian archives included that provide packages with the
same names as official packages. (The backports archive would be an
example.) The above search term matches any packet that is installed and
that has a non-Debian version in one of the archives known by apt; this
non-Debian version does not have to be the one that is actually
installed. If you want to avoid this ambiguity then you have to add the
version narrowing operator:

aptitude search '~S~i!~Odebian'

It is also possible that you found a bug in the Etch version of
aptitude; I use version 0.4.10-1+b1 on Sid and these search terms work
as expected on my system.

How did you install vuescan? Maybe it does not properly identify itself
as non-Debian.

I don't see any problem with the last part; both these lines contain the
string "opera", so they match the expression for which you are grepping.

So why are you doing it differently in Mutt than in TBird? Jut hit 't'
on each message you want deleted then use tag-prefix to delete them all
 ';' applies the next command to all tagged messages so you hit ';'
  then 'd'. Simple.

This may not be too helpful, but I have noted similar
behaviour, and not only with Iceweasel, but sometimes
Opera will do a "frozen" thing once in a while too.
It seems to be flash related, I think. When they
decide to take a rest, as it were, seems invariably on
a page that is flash intensive. Flash doesn't seem to
want to play fair with Linux, for some reason. I also
notice that flash videos or animations seem to consume
a lot of cpu cycles, with Iceweasel or Opera.

This can be a real pain, because a lot of websites are
very flash intensive nowadays.

Starting your browser with "-- debug plugins" enabled
could be enlightening here. I'm unsure how to do that
with Iceweasel, but with Opera an "opera -- debug
plugins" should do it. If I can remember to start my
browser thusly, I will report back further if I note
anything on this rendom "freeze".

Regards.

Iceweasel problems - YouTube infiltration

2008-02-06 Thread Dennis G. Wicks
Greetings;

Well, just ran into a another frequent problem.

I just re-booted and restarted Iceweasel. (22 windows,
I don't know how many tabs.) I had a bad feeling as
soon as I saw that all the favicons were YouTube.

Everytime I try to get an internet page, either refresh
or new link, I get the following message, and no page.

Not Found

The requested URL /~joyce/album/ was not found
on this server.
Apache Server at www.youtube.com Port 80

It appears that it is really sending the request to
YouTube. I have no idea why!

Thanks for any help!

Etch desktop: switching between ppp and ethernet network connections

2008-02-06 Thread Mikko Rapeli
Ok, I think I've tried everything but I can't get automation and
userfriendlyness into etch based networking, so I'm asking for help.

How to setup ppp/gprs modem connection and ethernet/dhcp in etch so that:

- ethernet connection is used when cable is plugged in and dhcp client
  finds a lease, 
- ppp/gprs modem connection is used as backup when ethernet is not
  available, and most important bit,
- gnome desktop user has some idea which connection is in use (and possibly
  can manually switch from ethernet to ppp/gprs, and back)

I can't get network-manager working like described. I have ppp
connection setup and working with pon/poff and configured in
/etc/network/interfaces. Ethernet connection is not setup, so
network-manager should manage it by default. Two problems remain.

One: at boot network-manager does not discover that ethernet cable is not
connected, and thus zero conf kicks in and ethernet seems active. A
round of networking disable and enable does help and now cable is not
found and interfaces remains down. User is confused. 
This happens on a HP Omnibook XE3 with a ADMtek Comet rev 17 ethetnet chip.

Second: ppp and network-manager don't work well. It's ok to enable and
disable the ppp interface from the GUI, but it sucks that it doesn't
show anything like 'Connected' status when PPP connection is active.
User is very confused.

gnome-ppp is a bit complicated and it doesn't work with the system wide
ppp settings, which work and which the user can not accidentally screw
up.

ifplugd and automatic ppp setup work, allmost, but lack a gui in gnome.
They work if eth0 is not set as auto while ppp is set as auto. Then ifplugd is
configured to poll the eth0 device. At boot ppp is setup. If cable is
later plugged, ifplugd activates eth0. When cable is unplugged only
/etc/resolv.conf is hosed since the ppp0 stayed up all the time. I hope
I can fix this with resolvconf, although I've had bad experiences with it
in unstable some years ago. But the problem of a missing GUI remains. Is
there some that I've missed?

Long story, but I hope someone knows better...

Yes swap partitions can have labels, yes you can mount ext2/ext3 
filesystems bu UUID. But it does not work for swap.

At least that is my interpretation of man fstab. And no matter what I 
try in fstab I cant mount swap by label or UUID.

Can you give me an example of what my fstab entry should look like

LABEL=swap  swap swap defaults 0 0
Does not work.

Iceweasel problems - 1 of 3

2008-02-06 Thread Dennis G. Wicks
OK, here is the first one.

Iceweasel will just shutdown on its own. All windows
and tabs are gone, for no reason.

Sometimes when I come back from eating or getting a cup
of coffee it will have happened. The latest was while I
was in another session. (Ctl-Alt-Fx) I was using VNC to
do some work on a Windows machine on my network and
when I came back Iceweasel was gone!

When I start it back up it recovers all the windows and
tabs, so I don't lose anything but time. (But, see the
next problem.)

I have the cache disabled, if that makes a difference.
It seems to work better that way!

Thanks for any help!

Really?  I run Sid and Iceweasel with 6-7 windows open and 3-6 dozen
tabs open, and it only crashes when the process climbs above 3GB
memory usage.  And that doesn't happen often!

As an aptitude-novice, I tried the above command on my
fully-operational upgrade from Sarge to Etch.  It gave a long list of
installed packages - almost all of which were part of the Debian
install.

The generated list included one of the two non-Debian packages (opera)-
deleted during the install and replaced subsequently. It failed to find
the only other non-Debian package (vuescan).

I also ran the following:

| $ aptitude search '~i! ~Odebian' | grep opera*

and got :

| i   eject   - ejects CDs and operates CD-Changers
| i   opera   - The Opera Web Browser

What have I ?

The main problem that I saw is that on delete operations it does
something that is insanely slower than TBird.  For example, on TBird I
can mark 25 messages as deleted, hit delete, and within about a second
they are in the trash folder.

In mutt (as of, say, 4 months ago when I last tried) it will copy then
delete message 1... then copy and delete message 2... then copy and
delete message 3...  Taking about 1/2 second each.  So on a 25 message
operation mutt will take 12 seconds to do what TBird does in no more
than 2.  Even worse is that is without network lag as the mutt operation
was carried out on the server itself.

Now extend that to maintaining a high volume list like Debian where one
has 300 or so messages a day.  300 messages is 2.5 minutes of sitting
idle.  TBird would complete that oepration in, at most, 4-5 seconds.  I
dread to think what it would be like when I go on my monthly Exim user
list purges of 2-3 thousand messages at once.

I don't know what TBird is doing differently than mutt but it is
painfully slow and utterly unusable.

I have read statements to that effect several times now but I don't
really know where the problem lies. I know that mutt is mainly
unmaintained now and that there are unfixed bugs (like the wrong
reporting of unread mails per IMAP-mailbox). But are there general
problems with the code like maintainability, incompatibilities or errors

Re: Iceweasel problems - where to report them?

2008-02-06 Thread dick thompson
I am too.  What happens is that Iceweasel starts off fine and then 
randomly drops out completely.  You can bring it right back up but it 
just seems to randomly hiccup.  I am not doing anything special at the 
time at all, just surfing.  I get no message that it is timing out or 
anything else.  It is maddening.  It does not happen with Firefox on any 
of my other O/S (Ubuntu, Sabayon, BlueWhite64, Wolvix, Slackware), only 
with Iceweasel and Debian.  I am running the Sidux version right now and 
am up to date on the updates.

current 2.6.x linux kernels should have upstream (and debian) support

I am running Debian AMD64 on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P. It supports the
latest 45nm Core2Duo CPUs (dual and quad) and has gigabit ethernet from
Realtek. I needed the installer from  for
SATA support (and for ethernet, I think), but otherwise it works
flawlessly. I didn't try installing from or to an IDE drive which might
be a problem, but I don't know.

The only quirk was that you have to use the module option
model=6stack-digout for snd-hda-intel in order to hear sound. There's no
graphic chip on the board so you'd have to get a separate one.

Ok, by a circuitous route, we've got to why I asked my earlier question.

The reason I asked is that I write books yet haven't found anything to

Probably your SATA controller isn't supported by the kernel in the
official etch installer.

Recently, I was in the same situation and used an installer with a newer
kernel from . That one worked just fine.
Another option might be to switch the controller to AHCI mode in the
BIOS, if it has such an option. I think has been supported earlier than
some specific chipsets.

a typo, it is a 2.4.19 

This is a precompiled kernel for that hardware that I found on the net
(and, nicely, starting from 2.4.19 there is no kernel problem for large
ide HDs. Moreover the powerpc architecture has no "bios" problems for
that; its openfirmware is not so dumb).

The boot floppy for the installation was 2.2.something

Woody stock (binary or source) kernels do not support that hardware.

I was referring to a (peculiar kind of) powerpc architecture, which the
reqester possibly dislikes since possibly OpenBSD does not run on it
(when I installed that machine in woody's times, not even NetBSD was
able to run on that hardware). 

Possibly the requester will not like also your suggestion since the
request was to stay below 200 MHz.

Yea, 300 is too fast.  200 is the hard upper limit, would like slower.

I know from experience with OpenBSD 4.1 on my 486DX4-100 that it is
entirely suitable performance-wise.  It only has ISA bus, two IDE
controllers, and only 32 MB ram.  I need better I/0.

That would be without the "g", right?

BTW, what's wrong with my setup? When I type :help, I get 

E433: No tags file
E149: Sorry, no help for help.txt

But:

$ locate help.txt | grep vim
/usr/share/vim/doc/help.txt

Should the file help.txt be someplace else?

Thanks for the tutorial link, I'll give it a  try.

Make sure the normal user is a member of both 'lpadmin' and 'scanner'

No subpixel rendering fonts in GTK+ apps

2008-02-06 Thread Lukasz Mazurkiewicz

Hi all!
I've patched (using patches from Ubuntu Hardy sources) and recompiled 
freetype2, libcairo2, libxft2 and fontconfig to get the subpixel 
rendering (ClearType-like) fonts.
Everything went ok, but the problem is that the subpixel rendering shows 
only on KDE/QT apps but not in GTK apps (ex. Iceweasel).
I'm using Debian Lenny/Sid with KDE 3.5.8 and i've got gtk-qt-engine 
package installed.

I did: /dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config/ and set Autohinter->Always->No
Next:/ dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig/ to reset the font cache.
Also: kcontrol > Appearences & Themes > GTK Styles and Fonts > GTK 
Fonts, 'Use my KDE fonts in GTK applications' is set.

Does anybody know what is wrong?
Thanks in advance.

I haven't tried Lyx. I was always afraid of LaTeX, but I did my last
book (nonfiction, with lots of footnotes, cross-references, tables,
etc.) completely in LaTex. It was not so hard to learn, because there
are so many tutorials (same with mutt), and gives beautiful results. I
found Vim-Latex to be too "heavy", instead I just did a couple of key
remaps for \section{} etc.

For a novel, LaTeX it would be dead simple. I also ended up buying The
LaTeX Companion once I decided to adopt it permanently.

Last time I tried Lyx it crashed every 5 minutes even with fairly simple

"Texmacs" is kind of interesting though.

[Though, to be honest, I really end up using latex most of the time
anyway; I only use ooword for documents other people send me...]

So you are using Sarge or an older version of Linux?

This version does NOT HAVE LFS (Large File Support).

The version of "wget" in Etch does not have this problem...
Also you can use "curl" or "mc".

You should not use ANY drives like /dev/sdXn or such...

You're supposed to have just one repository with everything in it.
