test mutt

2008-06-14 Thread Steve
Bonjour,

Excusez le bruit, je suis en train de configurer mutt et il y a un
problème avec les message de duf : dans l'index les messages sont
visibles avec le champ To: (ou le nom quand il est présent) plutôt que From: 
comme ça devrait l'être. Et cela ne le fait que pour duf... d'où mon message.

Bon wiknd !

Re: unitech lecteur de code barres

Guy Deleeuw écrivait:

 Bonsoir François
 va falloir m'expliquer epoch :-)

Un petit lien vaut mieux qu'un long discours:

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch


 J'ai téléphoné à l'importateur en Belgique du matos.
 Tu n'était pas loin de la soluce.
 C'est tout bête (comme dab quand on le sait), il m'a fourni un fichier
 contenant des codes barres permettant de configurer le lecteur avec un
 clavier belge c'est tout
 cela fonctionne maintenant :-)

Comment ça pas loin? En plein dedans tu veux dire :)

 Tu peux vérifier si il ne nécessite pas une config pour
 être sur un clavier azerty ?

Si ça c'est pas la soluce ... :p

T'avais qu'à préciser que tu avais un clavier belge, j'aurais pas dit
AZERTY comme ça ;)

vsftp et chroot des utilisateurs locaux

2008-06-14 Thread Abdellatif BLIHA
bonsoir,

j'ai installé vsFTP sur une debian etch, modifié le fichier
/etc/vsftpd.conf afin d'activer l'accès aux utilisateurs locaux et activer
le chroot des utilisateurs:

local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
chroot_list_enable=YES
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

j'ai crée un utilisateur test, et j'arrive à me connecter sans problème et
le chroot fonctionne aussi. mon soucis est le suivant:

1- le chroot concerne le dossier /home/ uniquement, le fonctionnement que
je cherche c'est un chroot sur le dossier personnel de l'utilisateur (i.e:
/home/test/).

2- lorsque j'enleve l'option shell pour l'utilisateur test ( usermod -s
/bin/false test  ), l'utilisateur ne peut plus se logger sur le serveur ftp.
j'aimerai donner accès au serveur ftp à des utilisateurs n'ayant pas le
droit au shell.

merci d'avance de votre aide.

effectivement, et mon fichier /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list est vide pour le moment.

oublier la première question, le chroot fonctionne correctement, c'est
moi qui me suis planter grave. en fait il y avait un dossier home à
l'intérieur du dossier personnel de l'utilisateur... il faut le faire
:-)


par contre ma deuxième question est toujours d'actualité. lorsque
j'attribue à l'utilisateur le shell /bin/false la connexion au
serveur ftp ne marche plus. est-ce que c'est possible d'autoriser un
utilisateur n'ayant pas de shell à ce connecter au serveur ftp?

Re: vsftp et chroot des utilisateurs locaux

2008-06-14 Thread Abdellatif
j'ai trouvé sur le net une astuce afin d'autoriser l'accès ftp pour
des utilisateur locaux n'ayant pas de shell. il suffit d'ajouter le
shell /bin/false parmis la liste des shells listés dans le fichier
/etc/shells

effectivement l'utilisateur ne peut pas ouvrir de session sur le
serveur, la session terminal est automatiquement fermée juste après
l'authentification. Mais l'utilisateur peut se logger en ftp vers son
dossier perso sans problème.

Vu que le but de la manip est de sécuriser les accès au serveur,
est-ce que la modification apportée au fichier /etc/shells est sans
danger??

Merci.

je ne savais pas qu'il existe aussi le /bin/true et en plus ça
correspond exactement à ce que je cherche. Merci pour l'info. dans ce
cas je vais retirer /bin/false du fichier /etc/shells et le remplacer
par /bin/true. ainsi je respecte cette nomenclature du /bin/true et
/bin/false.


ce que j'ai compris en tout cas est que le fichier /etc/shells
contient la liste des shells valide pour le systeme. donc à priori,
puisque le /bin/true n'existe pas cela ne devrait pas causer de dégat
(j'espère :-)).

Merci beaucoup.

Buenas a todos una pregunta que me ha surgido...

Si tienes una partición montada en /home y dentro de esa partición 
te quedas sin espacio, es mala practica montar otra partición 
en un directorio dentro de home?

Por ejemplo:

/dev/hda1 / 
/dev/hda2 /home

 Sería necesario saber algo más sobre el fallo en concreto, pero, para
 empezar, encontrarás más info en /var/log/syslog




 David, gracias por tu respuesta.

 Dime que otra información puedo suministrarte?

 Muchas Gracias.

 Salu2.



Pues, como te han dicho, la configuración actual de tus interfaces
(/etc/network/interfaces) y algo más de info relativa al fallo: quizá
una descripción breve de cómo tienes montada la LAN sería de ayuda.

Te digo ésto porque, por ejemplo, me pasó que a veces arrancaba una
máquina que usaba de servidor de impresoras y no levantaba la
interfaz. Le pasaba un poco de todo: no cargaba el módulo
correspondiente a la tarjeta (en ese caso era tulip) porque no estaba
en la lista (/etc/modules), después hubo que afinar la config
(/etc/network/interfaces) para que pillase IP en mi LAN si la máquina
estaba funcionando antes que el router...

Por eso una descripción algo más detallada es útil para localizar el
posible fallo y, entre todos, ayudarte a que lo soluciones.

Saludos.

¿No puedes redimensionar /home?
Si estan en discos distintos podrias hacer las particiones y montarte un 
RAID con LVM...


De todos modos, tampoco tiene porque estar mal lo de anidar la 
particion, vale, te quedas sin espacio en /home, a no ser que pases 
parte de los datos de /home a /home/data1, si tienes varios usuarios por 
ejemplo podrias montar /home en la principal y luego en la particion que 
ya tienes llena /home/grupo1 (y modificar todo para dejar a  la mitad de 
los usuarios en /home/grupo1/usuarios) y el grupo 2 con la otra particion.


Si lo que ocurre es que, con un mismo usuario, se te ha llenado la 
particion (por ejemplo, con una carpeta en tu home llamada proyectos) 
pues mueves proyectos a proyectos.bak y creas /home/$user/proyectos, 
montas ahí y mueves proyectos.bak/* a proyectos.

frikeando con el comando dd

2008-06-14 Thread nx
Hola!, quería preguntaros una pequeña duda a vosotros amigos listeros. 
Os cuento:


Hay ocasiones en las que inevitablemente tengo que usar el sistema 
operativo de Redmon porque no me valen con los emuladores, como por 
ejemplo al ejecutar juegos 
Como solo uso ese sistema operativo para ese menester, el resto del 
tiempo me está incordiando y necesito esa pertición para almacenar otras 
cosas.
Pero claro ... no voy a estar constantemente cargandome el MBR al 
instalar ese sistema cada vez que me haga falta. Por lo cual un día se 
me ocurrió la genialidad de hacer una copia en bruto con el comando 
dd, de la partición donde tenía alojado el sistema de M$ así cada vez 
que me hiciera falta solo tendría que volcar la imágen en la partición y 
borrarla cuando me hiciera falta, y listo.
Lo que pasa que sorprendentemente eso no funciona ... el grub no es 
capaz de arrancarme con esa partición de ninguna de las maneras ... 
aunque la partición la vuelca correctamente, eso si, porque el espacio 
lo ocupa. Además pruebo a hacerlo en una partición vacía, sin ningun 
sistema en ella y si me funciona...


Podría darme alguien solución a esto? seguro que a mas de uno le sirve ;)

Un saludo

O GRUB enxerga o disco da seguinte forma:
iDE1 (MASTER) /dev/hd0
IDE1 (SLAVE) /dev/hd1
IDE2(MASTER) /dev/hd2
IDE2(SLAVE) /dev/hd3

Já passei por uma situação em que meu disco estava como master-ide1 (hd0), e ao 
gravar na mbr do hd0 ele dava erro, ao gravar como hd1 dava certo. O problema 
na verdade era de hardware, do próprio hd e não do grub.

O que vc pode fazer é:
- quando aparecer a tela do gerenciador de boot (grub), no boot PRESSIONE E
- Depois pressione E novamente e edite os parâmetros de boot, o que funcionar 
você coloca no arquivo menu.lst.
A sequência de teclas para edição do grub no boot é:
E + E + B + ENTER.

Re: debian sid gnome

2008-06-14 Thread Reeyarn
Hi,

I've come accoss a similar problem, that my apt-get or aptitude wanted to
remove my gnome, gtk, etc. Almost ervery core module of gnome i think.(see
attached for the result of apt-get autoremove -s)
I also guess sid's dependency may be broken recently.

Regards.

Reeyarn

2008/6/14 Dietrich Bollmann [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Hello,

 Thanks for all the answers :)

 I am trying to answer to all of them at once...

 Here my initial posting:

  Since weeks I can't update debian sid as apt-get always wants to
  remove gnome:
 
apt-get dist-upgrade
[...]
The following packages will be REMOVED:
epiphany-extensions fast-user-switch-applet gnome
gnome-desktop-environment gnome-system-tools k3b libavcodeccvs51
libavdevicecvs52 libavformatcvs52 libavutilcvs49 liboobs-1-3
libpostproccvs51 libswscalecvs0 libuim5 scim-uim
[...]
 
  As I couldn't find any mails from other users about this problem, I
  finally wonder if there is something wrong with my system.
 
  Should I continue to wait for some more weeks until finally gnome can
  be updated again or is there some better way to proceed?

 The temporary solution seems to be, as Daniel, Magnus and HS proposed,
 to use aptitude rather than apt-get or synaptic.

 The following sequence updated most of my system:

  aptitude update
  aptitude safe-upgrade
   aptitude -s full-upgrade
  aptitude full-upgrade

 Concerning the latter command, I followed the advice of HS:

  Aptitude usually tells you what is broken and what is the suggested
  resolution. If you do not accept the suggestion, it gives you
  another different one and so on until you accept one or just quit
  the upgrade.

 and only accepted a partial solution.

 Aptitude still doesn't know about any final solution and still wants to:

  Remove the following packages:
   fast-user-switch-applet
  gnome
  gnome-desktop-environment
  gnome-system-tools

 which I am rejecting.

 This update / upgrade procedure removed the kde meta package which, as
 Tom pointed out, didn't hurt too much as it won't remove anything
 except the meta package itself.  Also I am currently mostly using
 gnome anyway.

 Even if my system is in a somehow inconsistent state now, I can live
 with this situation until the problem is solved and a new version of
 gnome and kde can be installed.  The most important thing is that I
 still can update the rest of my system. In Joe's words:

  some of the time, the sid repositories are in an inconsistent state,
  and a bit of patience is required. Looking at the current rate of
  updates, about 70MB a day for my 2200 packages, this is not entirely
  surprising.

 and also:

  so that's a matter of waiting

 Concerning aptitude vs. apt-get / synaptic, Daniel said:

  The algorithms used to solve dependencies are different, so
  sometimes they'll produce different results.  aptitude has more
  facilities for showing why it's doing what it's doing, which is why
  I suggested it.

 As the problem seems to concern all people using gnome on debian sid
 (Daniel: [...] broken gnome-system-tools [...] broken kdenetwork
 [...]), but still I couldn't find other postings about the problem, I
 suppose that most of the people using debian sid rather use aptitude
 than apt-get or synaptic to update their system and do not mind
 packages listed as broken too much :)

 To cite Daniel again:

  So, these are the dependencies it's trying to resolve.  The big
  problems for you are probably the broken gnome-system-tools (which
  is required by gnome-desktop-environment) and the broken kdenetwork
  (which is part of kde).  In the case of kdenetwork, you can't
  upgrade it until kde is rebuilt for your architecture -- according
  to packages.debian.org, packages like dcoprss are only at 4:3.5.9-2
  on amd64, hppa, and ia64 so far.

  gnome is broken because gnome-desktop-environment depends on
  gnome-system-tools, which depends on both system-tools-backends and
  liboobs-1-3; however, the new version of system-tools-backends
  conflicts with liboobs-1-3.  So the version of gnome in sid just
  can't be installed at all, ever.

  In other words, neither of these packages can be upgraded right now.

 I am happy to wait :)

 Thank you all for your help,

 Dietrich

2008-06-14 Thread Dietrich Bollmann
Hi,

Since my last update of the debian sid system on my laptop 
the repeated input of the same key by holding down the key 
for a longer time doesn't work anymore when using an 
external USB keyboard.

I am using CTRL-b / CTRL-f / CTRL-p / CTRL-n etc. all the time 
when editing texts - and find myself forced to hit the key an 
infinite number of times like a professional gamer instead of 
just pushing it once and holding it down for a longer time :(

The laptop keyboard works as before...

Any hint?

Thanks, Dietrich

 read 'man tune2fs' for some tips for setting interval and mount count to

 This isn't a solution for me. I want fsck to run regularly, but to
 still have a way to by-pass it when I need to.  Making fsck run less
 frequently will leave me with the same problem. eg every 100th boot I
 will still have to wait 10-20 minutes before I can start using the PC,
 which is a royal PITA.

 So basically you want to have the check without having to wait for the
 check to finish. I don't know, how you want this to be accomplished.
 Either the check runs automatically or you have to run it manually.


Like a later poster said, I just want the ability to defer it if I
need to boot up quickly this time. I don't have a problem with letting
the check run if I'm not in too much of a hurry. What would work best
for me is to have 2 abilities:

1) Defer the boot fsck until later

2) When I shut down the machine, have the option to fsck then (eg:
takes 20 minutes, but then shuts down).

I know this can be accomplished in Ubuntu (see my original post). But
I'd like a way to do it on Debian Unstable by only using software from
the repo :-)

 Ctrl-C worked without problems the last time I tried on my debian lenny.


 I tested this on 2 Sid boxes, both had the problem. In the past (with
 Testing  Stable) hitting Ctrl-C will randomly either leave the
 partition read-only, or will re-mount it in write mode.

 OK, I checked again. Ctrl-C works for /home but not for / . So, I guess
 you would have to move your data to another partition. I have a rather
 small / partition, so fsck is fast and I probably never have interrupted
 it up to now. My /home partition is large, takes a long time to fsck and
 I haven't had problems interrupting it in order to have it checked next
 time. Again, since the feature works for other partitions than / , I'd
 guess that there is a good reason why it isn't implemented for / .
 (Maybe I'm wrong. Is there someone out there who knows better?)


Thanks for discovering that. Does anyone know if it's documented?

My guess is that if fsck on / terminates for an unknown reason,
sysvinit thinks that it's safer to leave the drive in read-only mode
so a system administrator can check it, and retry the boot  fsck.
Like a less severe version of the prompt to go to single-user mode
when a serious problem is found during the scan. It would be nice if
it printed a message so we knew that this was it's intent...

Or, more likely, the logic for scanning /, and scanning all other
partitions is implemented separately, and only the logic for non-/
partitions has the ability to mount r/w after the user hits Ctrl+C.

I would like the *option* to interrupt scanning / (cleanly), and not
be forced to fsck it when it's inconveniant to me. My PC's
housekeeping needs aren't more important than me! :-)

I have more comments on this subject, see a later reply.

 Set your mount count and intervals apropriately for your needs. You
 could also fsck manually (shuttdown's -F option), whenever it suits you,
 eg. disable automatic checking and only check manually.

 This is a pain. I would need to find time when I'm not using the PC,
 but still want it to be on, which is not often. I like to turn off my
 PC when I'm not using it, and to not have to wait for it when I do
 want to use it.

 You cannot reliably fsck / when the computer is on. It either has to be
 at boot time or else you have to boot from another / like from a rescue
 CD/DVD.


I don't mind it fscking, I mind it fscking when I have more important
things to do than wait for it to finish.

  - /sbin/shutdown allows the user to (any of these would help):
* Force a fsck during the restart (-rF), and then to shut down the 
 system.
 Does not work for me, because I want to shut down the computer
 completely, not just waste all that power with standby mode. I.e. if you
 want to turn off the power supply completely, shutdown is not enough,
 YOU have to switch off manually.


 I think this depends on hardware. Most of my boxes shut down
 completely when I run 'shutdown -P'. But there are a few (maybe old
 kernel) which go into stand-by mode even when I really want shutdown
 to power it off.

 In my experience *any* computer will be in some kind of standby mode as
 long as there is no physical interruption to the power. Some power
 supplies don't have a 'physical switch', but that just means that they
 will always use a few watts of electricity unless you remove the cord or
 put a physical switch between the box and the electrical outlet.

using individual user ~/.fetchmailrc files is probably a safer and 
preferred way to use fetchmail. Running it as root obviously brings 
risks which could potentially compromise the root account. 

Have you tried just changing the setting 'enable daemon=yes' in the file 
/etc/default/fetchmail and rebooting which should trigger the daemon 
anyway?

Otherwise you could run a cron job to trigger the daemon and specify 
'set daemon 300' for example in your ~/.fetchmailrc file.

 If you only want to show one window, then technically you don't need a
 window manager.  For convenience, you could have rxvt start then run
 your app from that.  Set window size and position with --geometry.

Which is fine, as long as the app does not pop-up any additional
windows. Then things become strange.

For a single-application scenario, you may also run it on the console
frame-buffer directly (at least if it is GTK), I believe.

 I guess the defaults are very conservative settings regarding
 reliability of your data and were implemented at a time when there was

 Actually, kernel bugs, memory problems, corruption in the CPU to disk
 platter path, and media bitrot are the reasons for which scheduled fsck
 exist.  Journals don't help or hinder it in any way.

 Otherwise, you'd fsck only on unclean shutdown, or after a known
 data-trashing event (like an erroneous write access to the raw device, or IO
 errors on the device, etc).

 I'd love an explanation about why only certain filesystem types seem to 
 need this fsck as a regular event.   Maybe I've got some details wrong, 

The only thing that makes periodic fsck rarely needed is a filesystem which
uses strong enough CRC or ECC to protect ***all*** of its metadata, and for
those with logs and journals, this ALSO requires it to deal properly with
all possible failure modes for replay (otherwise it will corrupt itself).

You'd still need to fsck it every time you suspect of kernel bugs in the
filesystem code.

A filesystem that does live fsck (not just data integrity testing, but an
actuall full filesystem metadata integrity check like fsck does) is just
doing the periodic fsck for you anyway, so it doesn't count.

As an example: XFS has extremely well made test suites that SGI runs on the
code in the kernel, so bugs (nowadays) are very rare in mainline *releases*
(not -rc!).  That doesn't mean your hardware will take care of the data XFS
entrusted to it as it should have.  We are NOT using it on high-end SGI
hardware, after all.

AFAIK, none of the for-production filesystems have full metadata protection
yet, or live fsck capabilities.  But I really might be wrong about this, so
let's see if someone who knows better can point us to filesystems with that
feature.

But DO note that you can't have it both ways.  The more resilient and safe a
filesystem tries to be, the SLOWER it will have to be in order to enforce
that.

 Agreed.  / only needs to be 300 MB or so with a separate /boot (if

 only a few seconds to fsck with ext3 and with data=journal still runs

Watch out that data=journal.  It is far more kernel-bug prone than
data=ordered, for the simple fact that almost everyone uses data=ordered,
including those who mess with the ext3 code, so bugs can hide in the
data=journal code paths a lot more easily.

  Hello
  
  What is the minimal configuration for httpd.conf required by busybox

I believe that busybox in Etch does not support it yet.

Generally busybox is a rather slow-moving package, due to its usage in
the installer. Consider downloading it from source and rebuilding. It's
a single binary.

  For this are necessary any special environment exported variables ?
  
  When I try to load simple bourne shell scripts, Iceweasel  ask me to
  save them on disk.
  
  Command line for busybox is
  busybox httpd -h /var/www/
  and shell scripts are  contained in /var/www/cgi-bin/, and have a+x
  execution bits.
  
 
 Sounds like a problem with the content-type. Make sure you set it to
 text/html, like the following simple script:
 
 #!/usr/bin/bash

/bin/bash fir a script? I figure busybox ash would be faster (and may
even save you time on for/exec, as it's the same binary). 

shell scripts may be useful for trivial CGI scripts. But for anything
more complicated they become rather slow. And I really don't trust them
to handle input correctly.

The busybox tiny unitities page recommends microperl and lua.
microperl requires rebuilding perl. The result, though, is a more
limited perl variant, but also considerbly smaller (e.g: 1MB vs. 5MB)
and hence faster to load and requires less memory.

 echo -e Content-type: text/html\n\n;
 echo -e Hello world.\n;

We all love benchmarks, right? I ran the following with:

 Dear Sirs, 
 
 
 After spending hours of reading about the Linux distributions and
 compatible hardware, I feel I get crazzy. I chose you because of your
 Social Contract, though I'm not sure Debian is still updated,
 apologize, I couldn't find recent articles, I am a newbye. 
 
 Question: Could you recommend me a laptop model, with all details,
 which works completely, or perfectly with Debian? Including
 audio-video hardware, and hardware for connection to Internet (I'm on
 cable modem, UPC is my provider). 
 
 I don't need an expensive one. Perhaps an anti-glare, anti-reflex
 screen is needed because I'll have to read a lot. 
 
 Thanks, 
 E.S. 

Well, again I will say that a Dell Vostro runs Debian well.  Don't know
about a webcam (some models come with one).  About the only issue is the
sound is not very loud in Linux (but it is in Windows) but it does work.
One can be had for about $500 USD up to $1800?.

Battery life on my Dell Vostro 1500 (9 cell) is from 5 to 7 hours.

As for your cable modem, ANY recognized ethernet card will work, your
cable modem does not care about the OS.  If the OS can work the ethernet
card, your cable modem will work.  I do not remember the last time I
found an ethernet card that did not work.  It has been years.  I suppose
you can still find one, but the odds are if you grab a box off the
shelve, install Linux on it, at least the ethernet will work.

So, let’s dig into our firefox_2.0~rc1+dfsg-1.diff.gz:

* Changes to disable application upgrade (we want that to happen through 
apt-get) and change some other default preferences,
* Changes to fix “make distclean” so that it really cleans the build 
directory,
* Change not to build the “mangle” utility,
* Change not to call netstat to generate entropy, which is useless on linux,
* Changes to make Firefox® build and work on architectures such as hppa, 
mips, mips64, m68k, ia64, sparc64, alpha, and arm, which the Mozilla® guys 
don’t seem to care much for,
* Change to add a preference directory so that users can put their set of 
customized preferences in /etc/firefox/pref,
* Change to allow to build flat chrome without the zip utility,
* Change to allow to use system library for myspell, instead of statically 
linking the bundled one,
* Changes to allow to build s390 binaries on s390x host with s390 toolchain 
(same applies with x86 binaries on amd64 host with x86 toolchain),
* Changes to work around bugs with the hidden visibility pragma on gcc,
* Changes to make the pango backend actually build correctly,
* Changes to avoid some error messages while trying to create Makefiles 
from inexistant Makefile.in’s,
* Change to install in /usr/lib/firefox instead of /usr/lib/firefox-x.y,
* Change not to build useless chromelist.txt files,
* Changes to make helper applications with parameters work,
* Changes to allow builds against GTK 2.8,
* Changes to work around an Xrender bug,
* Changes to make the Gecko/yymm string taken from preferences instead 
of being half-hard-coded (you could change it with preferences, but it would 
still be set to the hard-coded value at start time ; and you could change it 
again with preferences…),
* Change to allow mice extra buttons to act as something else than a left 
button,
* Change to allow to build with -Wl,–as-needed to avoid linking against a 
whole lot of useless libraries, without losing the link on libxpcom.so which is 
required by some extensions’ components,
* Changes not to shlibsign the NSS modules at build time, since we’re 
stripping the binaries afterwards, thus breaking the signature. We do build the 
signatures later, within the maintainer scripts.

That’s not that many changes, and most of them were taken from either some
Mozilla® CVS trunk or the Mozilla® Bugzilla™. And most of those that were
not taken from there have been sent, except those that really don’t make
much sense outside Debian.

   -- Mike Hommey http://glandium.org/blog/?p=97

   Overall, Ubuntu applies the same set of patches as Debian, plus some
   more.
   [...]
   So, while I’m at it, here is an exhaustive list of the bugs where we took
   or sent the patches that are applied to Iceweasel: #51429, #161826, #252033,
   #258429, #273524, #287150, #289394, #294879, #307168, #307418, #314927,
   #319012, #322806, #323114, #325148, #326245, #330628, #331781, #331785,
   #331818, #333289, #08, #343953, #345077, #345079, #345080, #345413.

   -- Mike Hommey http://glandium.org/blog/?p=99

That was two years ago, but I don't believe things have significantly
changed. Simply comparing the size of the diffs suggests that
the overall level of patching has decreased between 2.0 and 3.0:

-rw-rw-r-- 2 dak debadmin 182K Apr 30 01:47 iceweasel_2.0.0.14-0etch1.diff.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 2 dak debadmin 154K Jun  9 05:02 iceweasel_3.0~rc2-1.diff.gz

You'll find much more and larger patches in things like the
kernel, glibc, and OOo than you will in our forced fork of iceweasel.

-rw-rw-r-- 2 dak debadmin 4.1M Jun 12 10:47 linux-2.6_2.6.25-5.diff.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 2 dak debadmin 707K Jun  2 19:32 glibc_2.7-12.diff.gz

AFAIK, the video overlay only works on either the LFP or the external

time. I have often seen colleagues who use Windows run into the same
problem when they want to show videos in a beamer-based presentation, so
I suspect that this not a linux-specific issue.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_overlay
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_video_extension

You can use use the xvattr tool (available from debian-multimedia) to
switch the video overlay to the external output. Also, switching off the
internal display could be enough to bring the video output to the
beamer; this may require a restart of X.

Configuring your media player to use X11-XImage/Shm will allow you to
see the video on both displays, but it comes at the price of higher CPU
load and possibly degraded video playback quality. If you really need to
have the video playing on both outputs then you can try if X11-OpenGL is
better in terms of CPU load.

   Hello
   
   What is the minimal configuration for httpd.conf required by

 I believe that busybox in Etch does not support it yet.
 
 Generally busybox is a rather slow-moving package, due to its usage in
 the installer. Consider downloading it from source and rebuilding.
 It's a single binary.
 
   For this are necessary any special environment exported
   variables ?
   
   When I try to load simple bourne shell scripts, Iceweasel  ask me
   to save them on disk.
   
   Command line for busybox is
   busybox httpd -h /var/www/
   and shell scripts are  contained in /var/www/cgi-bin/, and have
   a+x execution bits.
   
  
  Sounds like a problem with the content-type. Make sure you set it to
  text/html, like the following simple script:
  
  #!/usr/bin/bash
 
 /bin/bash fir a script? I figure busybox ash would be faster (and may
 even save you time on for/exec, as it's the same binary). 
 
 shell scripts may be useful for trivial CGI scripts. But for anything
 more complicated they become rather slow. And I really don't trust
 them to handle input correctly.
 
 The busybox tiny unitities page recommends microperl and lua.
 microperl requires rebuilding perl. The result, though, is a more
 limited perl variant, but also considerbly smaller (e.g: 1MB vs. 5MB)
 and hence faster to load and requires less memory.
 

ccostin explicitly mentioned Bourne shell scripts, that's why I used
bash. Very impressive work with the benchmarks, though.

 Why can't this box run Etch? IIRC the minimal requirements of the Debian

The installer needs 48 MB.  I did the drive-swap juggle from another
computer.  It takes Etch 5 minutes to boot, and about 30 seconds from
login to bash prompt.  X takes about 10 minutes to start and even icewm
with Xorg hits swap, and this with the vesa driver.  I get good
resoultion with the xf86-v3 S3 driver but v3 was removed from Etch (and
Sarge).  Aptitude hits swap very hard loading all the info on all the
packages in main into memory and causes the box to thrash.

In short, even if you get it loaded, Etch is a dog on old boxes.  The
box is rather zippy on OpenBSD.

 Unfortunately, experimenting with other filesystems will have to wait

 filesystems on the fly :-) Also, the need to defer fsck seems like a
 poor reason to go through the trouble of switching my home PC's
 filesystem :-)
 

There are several hard-disk HOWTOs in the doc-linux-howto packages (pick
your format).  Its not that hard if you have a spare partition or just
good backups.  Its especially easy if you're using LVM.  Without LVM I
admit it can be a bit of a shell-game but it only takes a few minutes
once you map it out. 

Unless you're willing to rewrite fsck to get a defer mode, switching to
a faster fs is a valid option.  

 
 I disagree here. You can easily use up 300 MB on / by installing a few
 large packages from Debian. Or are you saying that / should contain
 almost nothing, and that /usr, /var/, etc should all be on separate
 partitions?

Yes, when one says that / is 300MB, it means that /usr, /var, and /home
are separate.  Etch won't fit on 512MB complete yet alone having any
special packages installed.

 
 Maybe if your system is extremely critical you would need to have / this way.
 
 Personally, I would like to be able to take a 500 GB drive, and put
 the whole filesystem on / (including /boot, and a swap file) in my
 home PC, and not be forced to wait for bootup fsck to scan the entire
 drive every X days/boot before I can use it. I don't mind if it takes
 an hour to scan, as long as that hour is not when I need to be
 actively using the PC (after I tell the machine to shut down is a good
 time).

I would call my home computer extremely critical.  I don't want some
bug corrupting /usr or /var and making it so that I can't boot to fix
it.  With / separate and small, the chances of it getting corrupted are
rather small.

Doug.


 
 Also, that hour-long scan needs to be cleanly interruptible. Ctrl+C or
 ESC needs to do the right thing.

FWIW, Fedora 9 Gnome works fine on the T61, but use Fedora 8 if you

IMHO, thinkpads have a long history of supporting linux (or rather that
linux works on them) and many really like it.  OTOH, the Vostro is also
a box fully supported (watch what wireless you get) and the Latitude is
of similar build, but beefer.  I do not think any of these three are bad
choices. I have never owned a thinkpad and would not due to the owners
of the company.  This is a personal choice and you are free to disagree
with that stance, but it does support the use of linux.

  I'm assuming you're installing etch, or the current stable?

  There are a few options.  

  Firstly, consider installing lenny aka testing.

  Secondly, consider slapping a cheap third-party ethernet
card in there for which the kernel has drivers.

  If you have some requirement to use etch and the stock device
(This happens to me from time to time -- corporate policy forbids
testing, and the device is a rackmount box with no room for 
extra cards...), you're not dead, there are still options:

  Check the CD that came with the board, if you have it, it may
have drivers on it.  You may have to compile the driver, if they 
only provide source code.

  ASUS claims to have downloadable Linux drivers for this board.  Start 
from:
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us, and
use the widget on the left of that page to select the board model
in the top text field and Drivers in the bottom one, and then go.
The Linux drivers are near the bottom of the list of downloadable
items.

  If that fails, ASUS's specificaton page
http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmenu=2model=1849l1=3l2=11l3=571l4=0
  says that the LAN adapter is an Intel 82566DM PCIe Gigabit LAN controller,
so drivers may be available from Intel.

  
  Of course, you can't download anything onto this machine itself, because
it's network device doesn't work.  There are two ways around this
chicken-and-egg problem that I'm aware of:
  (1) Download all the module-development packages directly from Debian,
  and manually install them on the system.  You need gcc and its
  dependencies, and the header package matching the installation
  kernel and its dependencies.  With the current net-install CD, this is 
  linux-headers-2.6.18-5-arch, where arch is 686 or amd64.
  (2) Build the module on a different machine with the same architecture, 
  and install it manually.  Remember to run depmod and rebuild
  the initramfs when you install the module.


  I usually do (2), although I also have a USB stick with all the stuff
for (1) on it.

  It looks a bit complicated when it's all written down like that, but
it's actually not so bad.  Probably lenny or a  3rd-party network card
are your answer anyways.

  Evidently the gopher-internet is not at all dead.

It's alive a kicking with active development of several gopher servers
(including pygopherd in the Debian repositories), on the client side
there is the console client under active development and as previously
mentioned by Tzafrir Cohen there is the Overbite project which has
along term aim of providing a cross platform GUI gopher browser using
Adobe's AIR platform but which after the Mozilla people brought
forward the planned pulling of gopher support for FireFox from FireFox
4 to version 3 has been on a short term work frenzy to put together a
gopher plug-in for FireFox. I've not mentioned the Overbite project
before now as I promised Cameron Kaiser that I would keep quiet until
the official launch on June 18th and I'm still reluctant to talk about
it even though some else has already posted about it here, suffice to
say that it is a big improvement over the standard gopher rendering
engine in FireFox/Iceweasel 2 - in that it looks prettier and fixes
the bug which prevents FireFox/Iceweasel showing gopher sites that are
not on port 70 and that if if gopher support is to be retained in the
core of Iceweasel 3 the overbite engine is probably the one they
should use.

NB: There is a gopher search engine over at floodgap

I think advantage is probably the wrong word it's an alternative, an
example of the type of feature that makes it distinct from other

 Hello,

 I tried to install Debian Testing, with the current CD-Image. I have to 
 use a braille display. With the first beta release, I could use my 
 braille display without any problems. Now on the first console there is 
 the message on the braille display: Screen not in text mode. Is there a 
 new graphical installer?

I guess.  There have been activity.  (I am not so current on d-i)

Here is how I found out...

http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2008/20080609

Installer images for i386 and amd64 have a new boot menu using
syslinux's vesamenu. This allows for a more user-friendly selection of
for example the regular or graphical installer. For the
multi-architecture CD/DVD images this change means the 64-bits version
of the installer needs to be selected manually from the menu. See the
Installation Guide for details on how to use the new menu.

and links to:

http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/ch05s01.html.en#boot-screen

To bypass the graphical boot screen you can either blindly press Esc to
get a text boot prompt, or (equally blindly) press “H” followed by Enter
to select the “Help” option described above. After that your keystrokes
should be echoed at the prompt. To prevent the installer from using the
framebuffer for the rest of the installation, you will also want to add
fb=false to the boot prompt, as described in the help text. 

 I started my braille display at the second console. It is an Pacmate 
 Display. Is there a way to use the old installer or isn't there a 
 graphical installer?

You can always use stable install system to install minimum system.

Then edit /etc/apt/sources.list with somethhing like s/stable/testing/g.

Then use dist-upgrade.

For installer bug report/feature discussion, you will be better off
using [EMAIL PROTECTED] or BTS.  I think Debian is one of few
distributiond which care about braille display and its installer.

Here is a summary of my PC usage:

1) Turn on home PC briefly to check e-mail etc, before going to work,
then shut down.

2) Back from work, turn it on for the evening, and off again before
going to bed.

The PC is near my bed, I don't like to have the noisy fans etc going
while I'm trying to sleep :-) And I don't see the point of leaving it
on for 9+ hours while I'm not at home.


I don't know if that is the full extent of your computer usage (i.e., 
getting on the internet to check mail quickly) when being interrupted by 
fsck. If that is all you need, and if you might be in the market for a 
new mother board in the near future,  then you might want to consider 
getting one of the new ASUS boards with a Splashtop BIOS. There's more 
info on the company's website: http://www.splashtop.com/


In a nut shell, you'll be able to boot into a Linux based BIOS with a 
slimmed down version of Firefox. Perfect for checking a  quick email or 
other internet related info.


I'm currently looking at this board which is available now from Newegg:

  This isn't a solution for me. I want fsck to run regularly, 
 
 Why?

Why not just run fsck manually (i.e. shutdown -RF now) whenever you
want.  If you do it frequently enough, you'll never hit the automatic
checking counter: you'll only get caught if you forget.  Set up cron to
send you an email reminder every week or something.
