If you don't have access to the debian-policy package for whatever
reason, you might try checking the new maintainer's guide, which has a
walk-through of how to build a Debian package.

Ok, here are two cropped, sanitized versions of a Newegg invoice.  This
is a screenshot of the IW display of the webpage:

http://lizzie.freehostia.com/newegg-web.jpg

and this is a screenshot of a version printed with CUPS-PDF:

http://lizzie.freehostia.com/newegg-pdf.jpg

I see the same problem when printing to an actual printer, to a
CUPS-PDF virtual printer, and when using IW's native print-to-file
functionality.

Is there any other information I can provide?

I have multiple such problems with Iceape.

One such problem, and it may be the cause, is that the "Block 
unrequested pop-up windows", simply does not work.


When, for whatever reason, the memory usage caused by Iceape, reaches a 
certain level (what exactly is that level, I have yet to determine, as 
it seems to vary, and, it may involve malicious code on particular web 
sites, that isallowed by Iceape, to take control of Iceape), Iceape 
opens multiple pop-up windows, and, if one of the pop-up windows 
is inadvertently, directly manually closed, the application crashes.


These particular unwanted malicious pop-ups, show in the task bar as 
"untitled window(s)", usually showing no visible content. Sometimes, the 
"untitled window(s)" show as opened browser windows, with advertising, 
as mailicious advertisng billboards on the screen.


If a tab or new browser window, that creates the unwanted pop-up on 
opening, is closed, the unwanted pop-up disappears.


I oft wonder whether this is some security breach that uses a hangover 
of memory leaks, that were supposed to have occurred with the original 
netscape browsers, back at about version 4 of netscape, or something.


Whatever the cause, the "Block unrequested pop-up windows", simply does 
not work, and is a serious vulnerability, and, the failure to work, of 
that option, makes the application unstable.

start-stop-daemon with chroot ?

[supermega]

Hi,

I'd like to use start-stop-daemon with chroot option, but I get a
strange error. A test:
# start-stop-daemon --start --chroot /bin --exec ls
start-stop-daemon: Unable to start ls: No such file or directory (No
such file or directory)

I should work, shouldn't it?
When I run this:
# start-stop-daemon --start --chroot /bin --exec inexistant_file
The error is different:
start-stop-daemon: stat /bin/inexistant_file: No such file or
directory (No such file or directory)

Why the first command doesn't work?

IMHO it would be difficult, from an energy perspective, to
differentiate between any of several O/Ss, each of which ran on an
identical CPU.  The major contributors to power dissipation are
usually the power supply, the HDD and to a lessor degree the fan. 
The energy consumed by the CPU is considerably less than that of the
power supply (by perhaps a factor of 5) and that of memory even less.
That having been said, however, it is certainly true that the less
memory required the less energy required and the smaller HDD
required, the less energy.  Both of these favor the *IX varients. 
The last factor would be the speed of operation (the lower the speed,
especially with DRAM, the less energy required), but I can't make a
case one way or the other since most try and run the CPU at maximum.

xorg has much improved -- to the extent that the best way to configure it
is often to delete your xorg-conf file altogether.  dpkg=reconfigure for X
doesn't ask many questions about your system any more because it lo longer
has to.  The first time that happened to me I thought something had gone
wrong, too.  I got better results without an xorg.conf file than with it.

That said, you should probably keep a copy of your xorg.conf file around
somewhere on the off chance that you really do need it.

It may be hard to believe, but just try renaming your xorg.conf file to
something like xorg.ignore.me and reboot.

Second that.  There's no hard drive to spin up every 5 minutes, the
monitor will of course be configured to power off after N number of
minutes of inactivity, and similarly the CPU can be configured to go
into deep slowdown mode during inactive times.

Thus, after-hours, all the clients will be sipping power.

I set up spamassassin and mailfilter as a hook insides postfix.  So
after postfix gets a mail back from SA, it feeds the mail to
mailfilter, which is what does server-side filtering in an easy-to-
read language.

Of course, it drops mails directly into Maildir folders, so you'd
have to tell Dovcot to use Maildir instead of mbox.  But that should
not be hard.

OK.  It happened again, just now.  My son complained that the internet was
down.  I ssh'ed to my gateway machine, and ppp0 was up, but had a
suspiciously low packet count (about 150 packets)  within a few seconds
it was up to about 250, so it looked as if ppp0 had just come up.

I checked my iptables, and the port forwarding had shut down. 
I ran the script is uses to start port-forwarding at boot
time, and it was up and running again in no time.

I went and looked at syslog.  It looks very much as if the
ppp0 connection had shut down for a minute or two, and was
automatically restarted.  Apparently shutdown of ppp0 was
enough to kill all the port-forwarding instructions
relating to it (which was all of them), and the script did
not get run when the ppp0 connection was reestablished.

So, the question becomes,
  (a) how do I ensure that the script gets rerun when ppp0 comes
  up
or
  (b) How do I keep the forwarding from being dropped when ppp0 goes down?

Scripting Question - tar

[Kent West]

I have this script (stripped down to basics):


#!/bin/bash
sourceDir='/home/'# Directory you're backing up
targetDir='/TERASTATIONBACKUP/GOSHEN/'$(date +%Y)# Destination 
directory for the tarball
targFileBase='GoshensHome'# Desired base part of the 
tarball's filename


targetFile="$targetDir/`date +%Y-%b-%e`.tgz"
echo "Tarring up source into target"
echo " $targetFile"
tar -czvf - --one-file-system $sourceDir | split -b 2000m $targetFile


The script fails with this output:


Tarring up source into target
 /TERASTATIONBACKUP/GOSHEN/2008/2008-Jul-10.tgz

split: cannot open `/TERASTATIONBACKUP/GOSHEN/2008/2008-Jul-10.tgz' 
for reading: No such file or directory

tar: Removing leading `/' from member names


But, if I comment out the tar line above and replace it with this line:

tar -cvzf - --one-file-system /home | split -b 2000m - 
/TERASTATIONBACKUP/GOSHEN/2008/2008-Jul-10.tgz


the script works.

Am I just not seeing a typo somewhere? Why is my script failing?

Thanks!

Hi Brad,

Do you have any evidence that this is really the case, and that the monies

Fwd: OT: Energy efficiency difference btw GNU/Linux, Mac & MS

[Sam Kuper]

I think your question might be a category error.

The power consumption of a PC can be broken down component by component. A
PC with hardware that's been spec'ed with low energy consumption in mind
(e.g. the XO-1 from the One Laptop Per Child project, which draws ~2W in
typical use) will consume far less than a typical desktop in normal use
(~200W, at a guess). Each PC will have a given maximum power draw: the
amount drawn when all HDDs are in use, the processor and graphics card is
being maxed out, power-hungry bus-powered peripherals are connected to the
USB ports, etc.

The operating system (and, in some cases, the BIOS) can have an effect on
the conditions under which other software on the machine can put it in a
state in which it is drawing maximum power. This is power management. All
major operating systems have power management capabilities. The optimisation
of these capabilities depends far less on the underlying operating system
than it does on the machine's administrator's understanding of the machine's
user's work habits.

Finally, inefficient code will require more processor cycles than efficient
code (and maybe more HDD hits, etc). So efficient code will also be more
energy efficient. Here, perhaps, there is room for answering your question.
But I expect that the efficiency of operating system code may vary according
to the application(s) running. So quantifying this will be very difficult
(not least because MacOS and Windows are closed-source, so the efficiency of
their code could only be determined experimentally. Also, compared to the
other factors mentioned above, differences in the efficiency of operating
system code are likely to have a negligible effect on power consumption,
except possibly in edge cases.

I have more buttons: "Add Printer", "Find New Printers", and "Add
Class". Also, under "Server" on the right hand side I have buttons to
edit the configuration file and to view various log files. I run an
up-to-date Sid/amd64 system.

[...]

Let's compare the versions of all cups and cupsys packages (your output
did not include the lib* packages):

$ dpkg -l "*cups*" | awk '/^ii/{print $2,$3}'
cups 1.3.7-8
cups-bsd 1.3.7-8
cups-client 1.3.7-8
cups-common 1.3.7-8
cups-driver-gutenprint 5.0.2-3
cups-pdf 2.4.8-2
cupsddk 1.2.3-3
cupsddk-drivers 1.2.3-3
cupsys 1.3.7-8
libcups2 1.3.7-8
libcupsimage2 1.3.7-8
libcupsys2 1.3.7-8
libgnomecups1.0-1 0.2.3-2

Did you try to change the LogLevel to "debug" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
and restart cups? This should give you more information in the log files
(/var/log/cups/*) when you try to connect to the web interface again.

What are your access restriction settings in cupsd.conf? Here are mine
(I did not change the defaults):

$ awk '/
  Order allow,deny


  Order allow,deny


  AuthType Default
  Require user @SYSTEM
  Order allow,deny


Are you still a member of the lpadmin group (or whichever group is
specified as the SystemGroup in cupsd.conf)? 

Is your printer detected when you run "/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb"?

It might also be helpful to see what "pdffonts" reports for the
problematic PDFs. In addition to that, is there a difference with the
blurred fonts between display on screen and print? If the blurring is
visible on the screen as well, can you provide zoomed-in screenshots of
a good and a bad part? (assuming you can find clippings that illustrate

Just to correct myself I just found out that TBird and Dovecot can do
subfolders with mbox.  One just needs to append a / at the end of the folders
when creating them in Thunderbird.  This denotes that it is a folder to
contain other folders (a directory server side) vs a folder to hold mail (an
mbox file).

Slow video

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

  I am running Sid on a dual-core 2.6 GHZ Pentium and I'm using the
on-board video. My MB is an Intel DB865GBF. My monitor is a newer LDG  LCD.

Lately, it seems the past few weeks the video performance has deteriorated
- - - - it used to be quite fast but in Firefox and Thunderbird the display
seems to be a lot slower. A couple of months ago someone here suggested I
add "AccellMethod EXA" to my device section in xorg.conf. I did and at the
time it seemed to improve things but now it seems they are back to where
they were. I know the Intel driver has been "updated" at least once since
then.

Does anybody have any suggestions? Would it improve things if I installed
a separate video card?

P2P clients for debian etch

[joseph lockhart]

just wondering which P2P clients are best, seems to be slim pickings in the 
base debian repository so I figure that I am missing a repository or will have 
to go the long way to find a good client (however, I do not want to have to 
find and install a lot of dependencies that are also not in the repository, 
which is the case with limewire's linux build)

Iceweasel freeze ups

[andy]

Hi

I am aware of an earlier thread about FF/IW 3.0. This is slightly 
different in that using IW, with 7 tabs open, using Privoxy and TOR, the 
entire browser has just frozen up. This is IW version: 2.0.0.14 on an 
up-to-date Lenny/testing machine.


Even if I minimise another window that came up in front of IW (such as 
me pulling up this client to write this email), across the window of IW 
I am left with a series of lines that have yet to be refreshed. The IW 
indicator that shows when a page is loading has stopped, and the browser 
window is as good as useless.  When minimised and reopened it simply 
shows my desktop with a frame around it where the browser window should be.


The only way to deal with this is to force quit. I am unable to provide 
any details about the amount of mem it was using, or CPU time because I 
closed the damn thing, but will try to capture that info if it would 
help. I just wanted to know if others have been having trouble with IW 
of this kind of nature.


Cheers

Andy

Here's another fine example.  I use dovecot on my server to expose my mbox
mail via IMAP.  Here are the locations from where I regularly check my mail:

On the server itself via mutt (ssh session).
Squirrelmail via any web browser the world over.
Thunderbird on my KUbuntu laptop.
Thunderbird on my Windows partition on my gaming machine.
Thunderbird on my KUbuntu partition on my gaming machine.
Thunderbird on my KUbuntu VirtualBox VM under Windows on my gaming machine.
Thunderbird on my KUbuntu VirtualBox VM under Windows on my work laptop.

Sure, I could do all that with ssh to the server and read via mutt but I
prefer Thunderbird and being able to just point it to my IMAP store, configure
about 3-4 settings and be good to go is a godsend.

The only thing I miss in that setup, really, is the ability to configure
filters from inside the client and subfolders.  I know both are possible if I
switch to another IMAP server.  However I would lose the flexibility of
ssh/mutt which comes in handy sometimes.  Regardless I cannot imagine doing
all of the above without IMAP.

I bet it's pretty hard to find a reasonable, non-biased study about
this, but if you find one, I'd be intrigued.

ISTM that regardless of who's software is more efficient, arguably the
best method is thin clients, from an energy perspecitve. This is based
on the assumption that you will have a few 24/7 machines anyway. And
that points, at least in my mind, a little bit towards OSS because of
the inexpensive virtualization options. A few physical machines
running at nearly full capacity seems to me to be more energy
efficient than a bunch of machines running at lower loads. 

But that is all idle speculation around the water cooler.

Do it as two separate commands?

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
sudo ls
password: 
exit

I would agree that this is a bug, but I'm not sure that it would be at
all straightforward to fix.

Slow video

  I am running Sid on a dual-core 2.6 GHZ Pentium and I'm using the
on-board video. My MB is an Intel DB865GBF. My monitor is a newer LDG  LCD.

Lately, it seems the past few weeks the video performance has deteriorated
- - it used to be quite fast but in Firefox and Thunderbird the display seems
to be a lot slower. A couple of months ago someone here suggested I add
"AccellMethod EXA" to my device section in xorg.conf. I did and at the
time it seemed to improve things but now it seems they are back to where
they were. I know the Intel driver has been "updated" at least once since
then.

Does anybody have any suggestions? Would it improve things if I installed
a separate video card?

This is my current xorg.conf:


# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool,
# using values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.

This is not a bug. The password is shown because no tty is allocated to

second that. THe convenience is incredible. Case in point:

last month the family and I took a vacation. For several days we were
going to be at separate locations, so the kids would be without my
laptop (which carries separate accounts for each of them, I am the
best dad in the world!). I installed squirrelmail on my mail server,
pointed it at the IMAP server (dovecot) and the problem was solved, in
about 5 minutes. The whole family had mail access over the web without
mucking around with teaching them how to configure clients (and then
clean up afterwards!)  and so forth. easy peasy.

don't issue sudo commands in an ssh command like that. Separate them
into two steps.

I definitely consider that a bug. Who to file against? I don't know.

I don't use ssh this way, so...

Is this new behavior? If so can you pinpoint when it started and
determine from your aptitude logs which package may be involved? 

I can't come up with another program that will prompt for a password
over ssh like that. Su doesn't work at all. 

There is this bug
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=337484 which seems
like it *might* be related. 

If you can't come up with anything more definitive, I would recommend
filing against openssh-client as a starting point. They can likely
pinpoint where the problem is and forward appropriately.

If you want context lines (-3 before and +4 later in the example you could
use A and B switch):

grep -A4 -B3 "greylist.*\.aol\.com" /var/log/syslog | less

It works for me whether Iceweasel is already running or not.  But when
it IS running then there is a difference, in that I see the Klipper
window open and close very quickly.  Maybe your problem is something to
do with Klipper configuration?

As I said, I do not usually use kmail.  In mutt, when I highlight a URL,
the Klipper window opens and I manually choose Iceweasel or Konqueror.

Re: net problem, some apps not connecting

[Bonnel Christophe]

hi,

hum, it looks like a ttl or mtu problem.

Do you use PPPoA for your internet connection ?

Try to open a google page with a web browser. If it works, enter a word 
for a search (it should work) and now click on one of the links (it 
should not work). If all this works, you have a mtu problem. I don't 
have here the solution but i may be something like this to add to your 
gateway firewall :
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j TCPMSS 
--clamp-mss-to-pmtu


It can also be a ttl problem. I'm not a specialist but you can search on 
the debian-amd64 mailing list on april 2008 the subject "NAT and 
IPTABLES problem". It can help you if the first method doesn't work.


Hope this helps

Christophe


Enrique Morfin a écrit :

Hi!

I have a g4 notebook. It had not been connected to any network for a while.
Now i tried to conect to a network.
The problem is the same in any network (wired or wireless, at home or work). So 
is not the network.
It have dual boot (linux-osX). The problem is just in linux, so is not the 
hardware.
It must be some configuration problem.

The symptoms:

It "can't conecct" to any other computer.

I have tried the following browsers: iceweasel, iceape, konqueror, opera, lynx 
and links.
All have failed conecting to any webpage.

I have tried to connect via ssh (ssh, slogin, scp) to any other box in the net, 
all have failed. (I can't connect either to that box) Simply, ther is no answer.

You can say it is the connection or dns or something, BUT:

I can ping any other computer. Even the gateway or dns.

If i type: "host mail.yahoo.com" or "dig mail.yahoo.com" or "host 
www.hotmail.com" or any other with host or dig, i get the answer.

If i type "nc any.ip.in.net 22" i get the ssh answer (SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3p2 
Debian-9)

If i type "wget http://www.google.com"; I get the index.html that is google 
page. I can wget any page or file.

I can "aptitude update" and "aptitude safe-upgrade" whitout any trouble.

So the box is connecting to the net with some apps, but other apps are not 
connecting.

There is no iptables nor proxies. There is any fixed arp table.

The problem is the same if i connect the box direct to other box and i tried to 
connect via ssh or webpage.

Any ideas? Some config file i'm missing?

Thanks.

addendum..
now, without the %u, when I click on certain links, I get something like this:

file:///var/tmp/kdecache-pbc/krun/32542.0.ma.do


when I put back the %u, it goes to the real web site.. so, I need the %u. but

I also had issues with vga=X, but I just tried Sidux and they have a vt by 
default that works.  They take the kernel.org kernel and apply patches as 
opposed to the Debian kernel.  They also have a "split" sources.list, one for 
Sidux, one for Sid.  Near as I can tell, they put packages on "hold" via 
Sidux conf and when it becomes stable enough not to rip up the rest of the 
install, they take it off of "hold" or they provide a Sidux version with 
fixes that takes the place of the Debian pure Sid one.

Not so polished as say Libranet was, but might be an option for you.  100% Sid 
compatable.  All files are in the right place.  So far, no ugly surprises:  
Third day into it.  Install was a bit rough, no way to install mdadm raids.  
On another box, /home as not mounted (seperate partition) and it took a 
full / for me to notice that.

Ubuntu drives me nuts with changing file locations, like /etc/libnss-ldap.conf 
is not in exsistance.  It took looking at bug reports to find it was removed.

Hmmm.  I'd never be affected by that, since I stick with a pure text
24x80 console, and use startx to load the nvidia binary driver.

Re: request for troubleshooting assistance - ldap authentication

I'm fairly certain that the configuration is good.  I am able to enumerate
users and groups with getent [passwd|group].  I am not using SSL/TLS at
this time.  Also, ldapsearch -x works great in returning the directory
contents (as allowed by ACL) so I'm confident that the ldap configuration
is good.

As a workaround, I have added the LDAP account information to /etc/passwd
(but *not* shadow) and users are able to login successfully and everything
works as it should.  This is not an ideal situation from a management
perspective, but it's working until I can build a new box or figure this
out.

Also all of those cpus support long mode so you could switch to a 64
bit platform and solve your other problem with the system's memory not
all being seen. There's also an overhead that only goes away when you
do 64bit, when it tries to address memory over 4 gigs.

ok, so I changed the entry under application for HTML-XML to "iceweasel" (no 
quotes) from "iceweasel %u" and it now brings up a new iceweasel window with 
my web page in it.. even when there is no iceweasel window currently open. I 
know I didn't add that %u to the script...

I don't normally use kmail, but just tried it and it opens links in
Iceweasel without an Iceweasel window being already open.

In file associations, I have iceweasel and NOT iceweasel %u, if that
helps.

iceweasel html link in kmail

[Paul Cartwright]

I think something may be wrong in a file association between kmail & 
iceweasel. When I click on a web link in an email when iceweasel ISN'T 
already open, I see the iceweasel icon in the tray & the hourgrlass. the 
hourglass spins for a while, then goes away and nothing happens. If I have 
iceweasel already open, and click a link, the current iceweasel window adds a 
new tab and opens that link.

in file associations iceweasel is at the top of html, and the command line 
says iceweasel %u

anything else I can look at?

I don't know.  FWIW, it is still compiled into the Itanium kernels:

In the short term, yes.  But please also submit a bugreport in the BTS

Yes, I know, and I did have the necessary entries in ~/mailcap on my
other machines but not on this one. Most of the html stuff I get is
spam. I have to admit to irritation at receiving it on this list; when I
do get html emails that are not spam they are usually from Windows users
who don't know any better. Some of the moderated lists I subscribe to
specify "no html".  Rant over.

Sorry, that's "# modprobe -v io_edgeport".  I always like the
