This is a bad idea since most text editors allow the execution of
arbitrary commands.  You should give
  sudoedit /etc/squid/file
as the command.  This allows users to edit the file with
  sudo -e /etc/squid/file
with their favorite editor.  A temporary copy is created for editing,
the text editor started as the user, and the edited file is copied
back.

Regards,
Ansgar

Save/Restore Symlinks

2008-05-28 Thread Chuck Rhode
Alright, I want to back-up my *home* directory, but it has symlinks to
other directories.  How do I get these back after a restore?

I gather that *tar* saves link info, but *rsync*, using standard
file-system calls to create links in the backup directory, cannot,
when the destination is on removable media.

choosing printers in mozilla/firefox

2008-05-28 Thread David Zelinsky
How do I get mozilla or firefox to recognize printers defined in
/etc/printcap?  The printer list in the print dialog has only one
choice: "PostScript/default".  It works, and I can change the printer
it uses by going into "properties" and changing the print command, but
that seems to defeat the purpose of a printer list.

I'm using lprng, not cups.  I tried both with and without xprint
installed, with no difference.  What am I missing?

I've settled in as a KDE user over the past few years.  I just finished 
checking out the 4.1 beta live CD and I'm NOT impressed.  I really hope that 
debian decides to ship Lenny with 3.5.x so I can switch to that and keep my 
desktop as it is for a few more years.

The situation with rdiff-backup has been annoying but I'm not sure it could 
have been avoided. 

I have popcon running on all boxes.

I started dual booting slackware on my desktop in the mid 90s and switched 
over to debian when slackware dropped gnome.  I gave Ubuntu a try somewhere 
around Dapper and was not impressed.   

I like debain because:  
1. It's rock solid and secure
2. The (mostly) uncompromising commitment to software freedom.  

I am somewhat bothered by the recent SSL debacle.  I can't help but wonder if 
the rushed manner in which Etch was pushed out the door is partially to 
blame.  I really don't care about the speed of releases and would prefer that 
as much time as needed be given to a release to get it right the first time. 
I run sid on the desktop and 2-3 years is more often than I'd really like to 
upgrade a server anyway.

I'd really like to see code audits of critical packages.  If OpenBSD can do it 
with a fraction of debian's manpower, debian should be able to as well.

I think putting patches on the web for review would be a good idea.  Putting 
them in a directory of the source package does no good for upstreams and 
other interested parties who are not running debian.  How is somebody on a 
Windows box supposed to get the patches out of a .deb?

Something based on this perhaps?

http://www.review-board.org/

I've noticed that the traffic on debian mailing lists has dramatically 
decreased.  I'm assuming this is because developer discussions have more or 
less moved to irc.  There are two fairly minor problems here. 

1. This is a disservice to users running sid as mailing list discussions often 
provide a heads up to impending breakage.
2. Since there is no record of the irc discussions, this shift seems to go 
against the grain of debian's commitment to openness.  

Doing as ubuntu has done and putting logs of the main debian irc channels on 
the web would solve both of these problems.  

http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/

Grepping logs of old discussions is also often easier and faster than hanging 
out on irc until you can a question answered. 

I'm a huge fan of the rougelike genere and there are some classic ones which 
are not in debian.  I'll take a crack at packaging a couple sooner or later.  
I'm unsure if my extremely limited C skills will be enough to get 10-15 year 
old code to compile with a modern gcc on all the architectures debian 
supports though.

Re: amd64 and sun-java6-jdk

2008-05-28 Thread Walt L. Williams
Greetings fellow Debianite

I just got them installed on my system. These backports (presuming
you are using Etch) are sort of odd in their install in that  three or 
four of the packages depend on one or both of the other packages 
being installed first. Meaning its a vicious circle and a LOT of hoop 
jumping. In your list below are the cridders in question.

I got them installed be downloading the packages then installing them
by hand doing a: "dpkg --unpack " then doing a:
"dpkg --configure ". (Now mind you these is not 
the package FILE names. Just the package names) Once I finally got 
this done I was able to install the rest of Java 6. Some of the Java 
packages will work on both the i386 an AMD64. Downloading Java 6 
from Sun will not work as this is a 32 bit package.

I kind of got the impression while working to load these that Debian 
offer these Sun Java packages so they can say they offer them but 
try to discourage people from using what they consider propietory 
software by placing the interdependencies on three or four of the 
packages to make them difficult to load. For hell sakes who makes 
a group of packages that require the others to be installed first! 
Sun Java ought be made into one package. I'll bet their worried 
about the possible legality of thing. Things are getting so paranoid 
out there. 

BTY: You will experience the same difficulty when installing Adobe
Acrobat Reader for AMD64.

If you really want to do it using sudo, I think you should specify the

AFAIK the DRM in pdf files that prevent you from printing or copying 
text rely on the application to honor the restrictions. So you should 
just be able to download the source of whatever application you are 
using (xpdf, kpdf, evince, pdftk) and comment out the code that checks 
for these restrictions. Assuming ofcourse that you are able to view the 
file using one of these applications.

did you have an issue with the installation BTW that the links to the java

Could be that my copy of maple is bad, will try to get a different

Maybe I'll try to downgrade the guy to 32 bit, I know that java has some issues

I use `pgrep nohup' to find processes containing 'nohup' in the command,

Description: terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation
 screen is a terminal multiplexor that runs several separate "screens" on a
 single physical character-based terminal.  Each virtual terminal emulates a
 DEC VT100 plus several ANSI X3.64 and ISO 2022 functions.  Screen sessions
 can be detached and resumed later on a different terminal.
 .
 Screen also supports a whole slew of other features.  Some of these are:
 configurable input and output translation, serial port support, configurable
 logging, multi-user support, and utf8 charset support.

Kpdf has an option to ignore DRM restrictions, so I guess it can handle
them.  But I don't have any such PDFs (at least not knowingly), so I
cannot say for sure.


Checked the docs and couldn't see any such option.

That's actually based on xpdf isn't it? Tried xpdf too and couldn't find 
anything either.


Found a rather useful sounding 'pdfcrack' - but it said the version I had 
(presumably the pdf?) wasn't supported.

list of all background jobs

2008-05-28 Thread Kamaraju S Kusumanchi
Consider the following scenario. I am on machine A.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ nohup command1 &
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ nohup command2 &

Now if I use the jobs command, I can display the background jobs on this
shell.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ jobs

[1] Running  nohup command1 &
[2] Running  nohup command2 &

Now if I exit the shell on machineB and come back to machineA.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ exit
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $

After some time (say after a day or so) I log back in to machineB.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ jobs

then there is no output even though the jobs are being run in the
background. Is there any way to get information about all the jobs being
run in the background that belong to a particular user? In other words is
there any way to display information about [1],[2] jobs in the new shell?

Currently I am using a round about way to achieve this

[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ps aex | grep nohup | gvim -

Is there any better, more elegant solution for this problem?

thanks

USB drive names

2008-05-28 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
I bought some USB external hard disks recently. They automount
beautifully on a Debian system. One is a "LACIE" disk, another one
is a Western Digital "Elements" disk.

They mount as /media/LaCie and /media/Elements respectively.
Question: is it possible to change those names? E.g., if I would
like to change the names to (say) Lassie1 and Lassie2, how could I
go about it? Also, where is the name of the mount directory (now
"/media") stored?

Hi!

 I'd like to produce a short movie and am looking at suggestions for
some tools for doing so. The kind of workflow I thought about:

-) Record audio tracks via some microphone and combining multiple tracks.

-) Combine them both through screen recording.

 What I could think of what could work is arranging the slide show in
some presentation tool, staring the audio track in background, and
recording it all with istanbul.

 That approach might look naive and unprofessional, but it's the thing
that I could have come up with the tools that I know so far. I am thus
open for suggestions to improve the workflow, try a different approach
or even different workflow. Suggestions for the audio recording/track
combining are also welcomed.

 Thanks in advance for anything, preferred of course things that we have
in the (main) pool already.

 So long,

I use dvd-slideshow, see:

  http://dvd-slideshow.sourceforge.net/wiki/Main_Page

There are both RPM and .deb packages.

This is a command line tool, which (for me, I do CLI a lot), is great. 
Creating a list of images, with effects, can be done quickly, with 
simple edits using tools like awk, sed or perl.


For GUI folks, there is a tool called slcreator, a front end to 
dvd-slideshow, also available on sourceforge.  See:


  http://slcreator.sourceforge.net/

I've used the CLI tools to make several slideshow movies, it works quite 
nicely.

The problem seems to be that the USB stick is recognized as a USB block
device (/dev/ub*) instead of an SCSI disk device (/dev/sd*). The udev
rules do not contain any by-id symlink creation rules for ub* devices.

I would check if the stock Debian 2.6.25 kernel shows the same behavior
for this particular USB stick. If the Debian kernel works normally then
you can diff the result of "grep USB" for the two kernel configuration
files to find out where the problem with your kenel is.

wine problems?

2008-05-28 Thread Francesco Pietra
After having upgraded to lenny i386, the two applications I used with wine have 
problems. One (a chemical drawing package) does not start any more. The other 
one (a database) starts, though functionalities are greatly reduced and it 
hangs quite easily.

Am alone having such problems? Do they depend from the wine version currently 
on i386 or from the deb packaging? I have purged-removed all wine and 
reinstalled; same problems.

Re: dot in folder name in Courier or Dovecot [was: Looking for a decent IMAP server with hierarchical folders]

No, since it is its convention.

Convert your "DOT" folders...

Since I am using since arround 8 years "courier" and "procmail"  I  have
done some heavy coding and scripting around it...

I am using procmail recipes for filtering my  mailinglists  and  one  of
them is:

[ '/usr/share/tdtools-procmail/ML_linux' ]--

:0
* $ ^Envelope-To:.*(${TDTP_EMAIL_ML})
{

  :0
  * ! ? grep --ignore-case --regexp="${FROM}" ${WLIST}
  *   ? test -f ${HOME}/.procmail/ML_linux.spamfilter
  { INCLUDERC=${HOME}/.procmail/ML_linux.spamfilter }

  #=
  :0
  * ^Mailing-List: contact \/.*
  {
TMPVAR=`echo "${MATCH}" |tr '.' '_' |sed 's|-help@|@|' |sed 's|;.*||'`
:0
.ML_linux.${TMPVAR}/
  }
  #=
  :0
  * $ ^X-BeenThere:.*[${ST}]\/.*
  {
TMPVAR=`echo "${MATCH}" |tr '.' '_'`
:0
.ML_linux.${TMPVAR}/
  }
  #=
  :0
  * $ ^X-Mailing-List:.*[${ST}]\/.*
  {
TMPVAR=`echo "${MATCH}" |tr '.' '_'`
:0
.ML_linux.${TMPVAR}/
  }
  #=
  :0
  * $ ^Sender:.*[${ST}]\/.*
  {
TMPVAR=`echo "${MATCH}" |tr '.' '_' |sed 's|-owner@|@|'`
:0
.ML_linux.${TMPVAR}/
  }
  #=
  :0
  .ATTENTION.ML_linux/
}


As you can see, I change the DOTs into "_" while filtering.

which then create a Maildir of:

[ command 'ld -d ~/Maildir/.ML_linux*/' ]-
~/Maildir/.ML_linux/
~/Maildir/.ML_linux.2007/
~/Maildir/.ML_linux.2008/

For the Debian lists I use a Filter a little bit different but equal...

[ '/usr/share/tdtools-procmail/ML_debian' ]--

:0

  :0
  * ! ? grep --ignore-case --regexp="${FROM}" ${WLIST}
  *   ? test -f ${HOME}/.procmail/ML_debian.spamfilter
  { INCLUDERC=${HOME}/.procmail/ML_debian.spamfilter }

  :0
  * ^X-Mailing-List:.*<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  * ^X-Mailing-List:.*


Note:  Currently I am preparing a new private  debian  package  (very
   complex) for "courier" and "procmail" and will  put  it  under
   the name "tdtools-procmail" onto  my  website  and  mirror  at
   buthaveingsome
   problems with my Devel-Station (broken) to build the packages.

I use kcontrol for doing this. I think the underlying machinery belongs to
acpi. kcontrol is just a front-end to do a bunch of system administration
things in KDE (which is bloated but very good BTW). Since front ends or
Desktop Environments are usually not installed on headless Debian servers,
your best bet is to look in the documentation of acpi (or other related
packages) to how to achieve this.

FWIW, I also have the same problem on Dell Inspiron E1505.

Sometimes, if I start kmix and move the sound bar up and down it works!
Sometime that also does not work.

If fiddling with the kmix button does not work, then I reconfigure the sound
using 'sudo alsaconf'. But this is a painful approach as it kills programs
which use the sound device (Ex:- firefox etc.,).

well, turns out i am female, but it'd leave a bad taste to this

oh don't worry. We'll uncover someone's homophobia quite nicely. So

I wrote a C++ program that was bug free once.  Worked perfectly every

int main(const int argc, char* argv[]) {

I've got a similar one I wrote in Perl that's bug free and one in Java

Thanks for the tips; they all work. 

I tried each approach for a time-intensive task: finding palindromes within 
words in a dictionary file $DICT, using an identical regex in each case. 
Below are the expressions used and the times they took to execute:

while read i ; do

[[ $i =~ '(.*((.)(.?)((.)\6?)\4\3).*)' ]] && echo $BASH_REMATCH  
${BASH_REMATCH[2]}

done < $DICT

#real1m41.239s
#user1m17.383s
#sys 0m0.474s




sed -nr 's/(.*((.)(.?)((.)\6?)\4\3).*)/\1 \2/p' $DICT

#real1m6.151s
#user0m46.763s
#sys 0m0.151s

---


 perl -ne '$_ =~ /(.*((.)(.?)((.)\6?)\4\3).*)/; print "$1, $2\n"' < $DICT


#real0m16.381s
#user0m4.660s
#sys 0m0.482s



So I guess Perl is way the winner; unless the above comparison is somehow 
unfair?

John

You can patch the Cyrus sources to accept them; that's what I did (at a 
previous work and at home).

In the imap/message.c file, search for IMAP_MESSAGE_CONTAINSNULL, 
IMAP_MESSAGE_CONTAINSNL and IMAP_MESSAGE_BADHEADER; they are mostly used 
as error return values when appending new messages in the 
"message_copy_strict" function. Comment out the offending code, and it 
will work.

Re: dot in folder name in Courier or Dovecot

2008-05-28 Thread Public Mailing Lists
Yes, I defined '/' as separator in the namespace with Dovecot. I'm able 
to create folders that contain dots in their name, and they get messed 
up in Thunderbird, as Ron confirms.


With Cyrus, I can create folders with subfolders with dots in their name 
correctly. That also works with Thunderbird. So, it looks like it's not 
Thunderbird's fault.


The problem with Cyrus is that Cyrus refuses to accept a large number of 
emails that it considers to be not "standard compliant". E.g. it rejects 
specific "From"-headers that Mozilla is using. Even though this applies 
to only 1% of all email, it is still an enormous number of them.


On the web, it is suggested to use a sed-script to remove these 
offending headers from the mbox files before copying them to Cyrus. 
However, Mozilla's own index files (.msf) get confused if the underlying 
mbox files change, and some emails just disappear. (There are also 
emails disappearing if the .msf file is deleted).


BTW, mbox/Dovecot does not support hierarchical folders.




Nicolas KOWALSKI wrote:


Public Mailing Lists <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

With Dovecot, you can use a namespace to define '/' as the hierarchy
separator, even if Maildir is used as storage.

BTW, what are the problems with Cyrus ?

On the 2.6.24 kernel the e1000 module should work.  Try 'modprobe
e1000'. 

I had serious issues with Debian Lenny and my network on a R61 and in
the end I did two things: reset the bios to factory default and
install Ubuntu Hardy - and everything just worked. 

The problem I had (and I have tried about 4 or 5 different kernels) on
Debian was that I had intermittent network.  It sometimes just died
and then I had to restart network-manager again.

I will probably again try Debian on the R61 just to make sure that I
did not suspect Debian falsely :)

Johann
