Do you have the packaged version of Flash installed? What does this show?:
dpkg -l |grep -i flash |awk '{print $2}'
I would try removing any packaged version of flash (flashplugin-nonfree), and
install the per-user version from Adobe (ie. install as a regular user), and
see if that works.
Just download the tar.gz, extract, cd in and run the installer. Always works
for me.

Exim4 with a Goddady account
I've used the esmtp package with Mutt for years but have noticed some issues with GoDaddy's smptout.secureserver.net mail relay. So, I figured I'd give Exim4 a try (it's the Debian default so it should be easy, right? Heh, no). Things seem to be getting tripped up somewhere and after a couple of hours of reading the docs and trying to dig the depths of Google (with many junk leads), I'm remembering why I punted Exim in the first place (who's idea of a sick joke was Exim's inclusion into Debian anyway and as the default MTA no less?). Anyway, if there is no simple answer to getting Exim to play with my GoDaddy SMTP server, then I shall look elswhere.

No video in iceweasel or konqueror (lenny standard install)
Am I the only one having trouble with youtube and any other video site? I presume this is a flash issue. This is a new Lenny install, not un upgrade of Etch. I have done no customization to the browsers. Whereas I had no problem in Etch with iceape, I can't see any video with either konqueror or iceweasel. Iceweasel reports that flash r9 r100 is installed, and going to the adobe site it is recognized as such, but attempting to view any youtube video yields only a large circle with a triangle inside it. Clicking on it results in a black screen. In konqueror, there is no circle and triangle, but nothing happens until I click on where the video should be, then konqueror downloads it (the progress bar says so) but it is never displayed, no matter how many times I click the > (start) button. I have tried this with a direct connection to the internet and (at first) via privoxy, which I've been using in Etch with no problem. These are settings in the browsers. Has anyone had this problem? Any solution? There's something else that bugs me. Konqueror pops up a window once in a while saying that it couldn't get the proxy script or something like that. What exactly is it doing and why?

Having removed the line for snd-hda-intel from /etc/modules, add this line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base. See below. options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1 This option will select only the first codec (the one for your soundcard), and ignore the one for the RS780 Azalia controller one, which also uses snd-hda-intel, and may be causing a problem. Having set the above options line, reboot, and run the following commands again. lsmod | grep snd cat /proc/asound/cards grep ^Codec /asound/card?/codec* I doubt whether any of this is going to get the sounds working, but worth a try. Please post back all the output from the commands. Is the HP dv4 a new machine? It's possible it's not supported yet with alsa. All the best.

Output should just show up on the console after you initiate shutdown from there. Until the console itself goes away I don't see why output from an init script would be handled differently from any other script. Or perhaps you're assuming (but not stating) some other factors that might have bearing on your question. If you're not able to see it on the console, and given that it's a custom script, perhaps you could write output to some non-volatile location and look at it later.

It looks like it doesn't try to download the .deb, which normally only happens when the package is already downloaded. But then, when it tries to install it can't find the .deb. A remove followed by an install might work, but during the removal, aptitude is probably going to want to get rid of a few packages.

(Alternatively, there's probably a --force-* flag to dpkg that will let you purge the package while leaving dependencies broken. Then, you could try the install from aptitude.

You can use the web interface of the BTS to send a follow-up message, stating that you have the problem, too. Ask if there is any possibility that this can be addressed before the release of Lenny and what you can do to help. The maintainers will let know what kind of information you can contribute if someone starts working on the problem. You can also check out http://bugs.freedesktop.org to see if anything relevant has happened upstream since last May. Yon can try if Xorg from experimental and/or kernel 2.6.28 improve the situation.

Re: ssh
Francesco Pietra wrote: That's odd. I am able to get commands to work over SSH without a password. I copied the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on my work computer into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on my home computer. Now I can SSH from my work computer to my home computer like this: ssh m...@myhomepc date And it logs into my home computer and then runs the date command. I did not have to do anything with the authorized_keys file on my work computer to make this happen. That's all appropriate. You only need to modify authorized_keys in both places if you want the symmetric relationship that either machine can log into the other. Correct. I mentioned that I did not have to alter the authorized_keys file on my work PC in response to the OP's statement: I know how to solve the issue, i.e. by cross appending the authorized_keys files, in order that each machine knows itself. But there must be a simpler way. I have no idea why you would need to do something like that. I have never had to "cross-append" anything in order to make this work. I just wanted to clarify for the OP that the keys only need to be shared in one direction to do this. He seems to indicate that the passwordless login works just fine unless he tries to run a command through the ssh command line. I don't know why that would make a difference. Big difference for me. As I said in my original post, certain computational parallelized codes (from major supercomputer centers, latest versions) do not work unless the two machines talking to one another also know themselves. Usually, the "two machines" are my desktop (let say deb32) and my parallel computer (let say deb64) talking to one another via a router.The only way I found (perhaps suggested by the author of the code, I don't remember) to login passwordless (my arrangement is also passfraseless) to the parallel computer - and vice versa - while requesting the date, is to take the deb32 keys from deb64 and append them to those of deb32 itself, and vice versa. I admit that most codes do not care about that, but it happens that I am using "at this very moment" a code that has such idiosyncrasy. When I said "there must be a simpler way", I meant to make that appending intrinsic in the configuration of ssh. Otherwise, I have to stay to ssh if I want (as I need) also to access supercomputers. I am surprised that others are able to login while running a command by simply sending "one-way" the keys. As I am no system expert, I assume that I am not setting up correctly ssh. regards francesco Francesco, If I understand you correctly, you are trying to ssh from your PC running 32-bit Lenny to a node in a parallel computing cluster running 64-bit Lenny. Is this correct? I'm not sure why a simple one-way shared key would not work if you are trying to run a command on the parallel computer from your PC. You shouldn't need two-way authentication unless the parallel computer needs to run something on your machine using the same tunnel.

iscsi multipathed disks are slow
Hi!
I’m trying to connect a Dell server to an Eqlogic 5000E iSCSI device. The
open-iscsi package is configured and working. Using the devices dd shows
good results (~100MB/s for reading, ~85MB/s for writing) over one gigabit
interface.
Using the multipath devices the numbers are only half as good (~50MB/s
for reading) but now the system is using two gigabit interfaces.
Now I’m wondering why? Hints are welcome!
My configuration:
- Debian Lenny
- open-scsi 2.0.870~rc3-0.3
- multipath-tools 0.4.8-13
- dmsetup 2:1.02.27-4
Test kernels were the Lenny kernel (2.6.26-13) and a self-compiled
2.6.28.1. The architecture is amd64.
The hardware is a Dell PowerEdge 1850 with two Intel Gigabit NICs onboard
(Intel Corporation 82541GI Gigabit Ethernet Controller), MTU is set to
9000.
/etc/multipath.conf:
blacklist {
devnode "^sda"
}
defaults {
#path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
path_grouping_policy multibus
features "1 queue_if_no_path"
path_checker readsector0
failback immediate
getuid_callout "/lib/udev/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
}
multipaths {
multipath {
wwid 36090a03820e51cc5d193945d0007
alias my-lun0
}
multipath {
wwid 36090a03820e56c17d193645d20f0
alias my-lun1
}
}
devices {
device {
vendor "EQLOGIC"
product "5000E"
}
}
multipath -ll shows:
my-lun1 (36090a03820e56c17d193645d20f0) dm-8 ,
[size=1.0T][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=0]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=2][active]
\_ #:#:#:# sdd 8:48 [active][ready]

\_ round-robin 0 [prio=2][active]
\_ #:#:#:# sdc 8:32 [active][ready]
\_ #:#:#:# sdb 8:16 [active][ready]
Using the same system with Windows Server OS, the multipath resulats are
much better (~180MB/s for reading).
Shade and sweet water!

LVM on iscsi multipathed disks fails to shutdown
Hi, I tried to get a response from pkg-lvm-maintainers, but nobody answer, so I'm asking here. Currently on lenny, I have next config: multipath is used for get two iscsi path like a disk. This disk is a pv, and is the uniq pv in my vg. My vg has a lv who is mounted on /home I had to change iscsi scripts [1] for get /home working at system start. But my system is hanging on lvchange process when it is shutdowing (or rebooting). It is likely it is waiting for the device who multipath down before. I search in bugs.debian.org/lvm2, and then I could read a bug related [2] I had to comment vgchange line from /etc/init.d/lvm2 in stop function, so my system is rebooting fine. Do you think this change could cause troubles for the future, is possible corruption? I think if my lvm system were clustered, lvchange -an must be activate, but if my system is standalone, is it necessary ? So do you have any tip ?
