I have these settings: export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM" export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim" export QT_IM_MODULE="scim" export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8 export LANG=ja_JP.utf8 Then when you start X, and you start a terminal, you should type the command $ env and confirm that your environment is as it should be.

automatic and static dhcp lease on same interface
Hello all, I have a scenario where I need to use just one physical interface to make two subnets. So far so good. I'm stuck in the following. I need that of the subnets have static ip with the dhcp server (binding the mac addresses) and the other one automatically offer the IP addresses. So, if the computer is 'known' to the server, it will give an IP and access to a subnet where some services are available, if not, the computer will fall to another subnet where it'll be only able to access the internet. The static IP is not ultimatelly necessary, it was just something I thought to bind via mac address a computer known (reliable) to the subnet. Is it possible to do something like that with the dhcp3 server? If so, where can I find some docs about it? I googled a lot and just found the shared-networks stuff, but it will not solve my problem as is (or as far as I could grasp it ;) I know some cisco routers can do the static/automatic stuff, but doing so with a computer would be better to me for now!

Aptitude should automatically do that. It's possible that it thinks these packages are "manually" installed. To fix that: aptitude markauto libxfce4mcs-manager3 libxfce4util4 $etc If that doesn't suggest packages to be removed, perhaps those packages are actually depended on. You might try: aptitude search '~Rlibxfce4mcs-manager3' to see what packages depend on libxfce4mcs-manager3, but the CUI for aptitude will probably be more useful if you have to hunt down many dependencies. Finally, you can always: aptitude purge libxfce4mcs-manager3 libxfce4util4 $etc and aptitude will inform you if other packages will need to be removed due to missing dependencies. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: 'who am i' command does not produce output in 'mrxvt'
No,I am looking for the command 'who' with two arguments. The command 'whoami' prints only the user name. However, I want the tty and the time stamp too. As per the man page of 'who': "If ARG1 ARG2 given, -m presumed: 'am i' or 'mom likes' are usual." "-m only hostname and user associated with stdin" So, 'who am i' is what I need. However, my question was a little different. When 'who am i' is producing output in gnome-terminal, why isn't it doing so in 'mrxvt' ?

As for the version control system: the younger and far more capable systeer of CVS is Subversion (SVN). Like CVS, Subversion sticks with the same model of a central server that holds everything, and from which you check out a local working copy that has the parts you want to look at right now. Subversion is at this point mature and well-integrated into third-party tools. A whole different approach is "distributed version contorl systems". In those systems every local copy contains the whole repository. I assume that your workflow is relatively simple: minimal branching (if at all). An occasional tag. If so, "distributed" version control systems might actually simplify things: no need to define a separate version control server. The whole history is here. If you're actually working with someone else and merging changes, then what I wrote above may not really apply, and refer to the general flames on this subject. BTW: if you work with svn: apt-get install trac. While debatable as a bug tracker, it has a really nice SVN browser. An alternative SVN browser is git/git-svn, once you get to know it ;-) -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il || a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il || best ICQ# 16849754 || friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I think Git, Mercurial (hg), or Bazaar (bzr) would be the best possibilities. Git has the most mindshare in the Open Source community, but it is somewhat harder to learn (though not as bad as it used to be) and I think it still has the worst Windows support (again, not as bad as it used to be). Git is often considered the most powerful/flexible but hg advocates say hg is just as powerful. Hg is a lot like git in many ways, but it may be a little easier to learn, and it has better windows support. Bzr may be the easiest to pick up, and it may still be the slowest. As far as I know, its Windows support is fine. Subversion (svn) is a possibility, but nowadays it doesn't really gain you anything. It used to have the Windows advantage of TortoiseSVN, (right click Explorer integration), but TortoiseHg seems pretty mature, and TortoiseBZR is not far behind. TortoiseGit is just getting started, at version 0.1, released December 12, 2008. If this was for an OSS project, I would recommend git (unless you wanted to work closely with Canonical/Ubuntu (bzr) or Mozilla (hg)) but for an internal, non-shared project like this it doesn't really matter. As far as structure, I would have one repo on the dev server and one repo on each dev workstation, that pulls from and pushes to the dev server. Then finally a repo on the production server that pulls from the dev server, but never pushes anywhere. Some adjustment to this basic plan might be needed, e.g. in git, on the dev server, there should probably be a bare repo that you push and pull from and a second, non-bare repo that is what that dev server actually runs from. I don't know if hg and bzr need this kind of setup or not. Cheers, Kelly Clowers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

How about:
m=o; grep -q uhci_hcd /proc/modules && m=u
which does mostly the same thing.
Also, this falls apart on my desktop that needs all *three* usb modules loaded
for all the ports to work. (Yes, this did cause me no end to trouble as uhci
and ohci have not always played as well together as they do now.)

VCS (Version Control System) and SCM (Source Code Management) are usually the generic terms, but I have seen cvs used generically, usually by people that doesn't really know what they want. I suggest using Mercurial/Git/Bazaar/DARCS for this task, forgetting about the bad-old-days of SVN and the dark ages of CVS just like many do not recall the time before time of RCS and SCCS. I'd recommend Git, but that's because I use it. Any of them should meet your needs technically, so I'd find the one whose community of support most closely matches your needs.

That is how I started and how I've been, more or less, running with LVM for years, though I think I'm about to change. First, I've actually had different FS with different settings for different purposes. Mostly different bytes-per-inode for file system that have lots of big or lots of small files. Some have ext2 vs ext3 differences. Some are backups of retired windows machines that are just readonly. And i'd do the occasional snapshot to do backups from. As each FS would fill up, I would extend that particular FS. Some would reach a steady state. One interesting side affect of this is the fact that I would fragmentation at the filesystem level, as opposed to the file level. Every once in a while, I'd move LVs around to defrag (usually as part of adding a newer larger harddrive, and retiring the smaller one). One pain point I have is this: In order to run resize2fs(8), you have to fsck the FS first. As they grow larger and larger, this takes longer and longer. I have a 2TB FS now that I really don't want to grow any more because of that. Ext4 may solve the fscking issue, but in the one article I've read so far, resizing wasn't mentioned in it. (I'm also considering ext4 for other reasons.) One thing I do tend to do with every disk is this: I put a small swap partition on each disk, then the rest is an LVM partition. Depending on the machine, it could be 128M to 256M; I try to stay consistent across disks. I then set up each swap partition with the same priority. That way I get more spindles in action for swap. I have really no idea if it makes a difference or not, but it's something I do. It may very well actually cause more contention because if I'm doing something that is causing me to page, then I'm probably processing data on all of those disks anyway. Anyway, that's my experience with LVM. I like it, I've used it for, ... I'm not sure how long I've used it... has it been around for 10 years? I can't remember when I switched to it, but I'm pretty sure it was before I moved to the South Bay Area. It took for years of lobbying to get folks to start using it at work for one service I'm responsible for; down time for backups dropped from one hour to one minute, since they can now do LVM based snapshots and bring the service right back up. mrc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

"make defconfig" is something I've never used, but it is certainly possible that the kernel configuration that it generated is missing something you need to access your drives. If you need a more recent kernel than is currently packaged by Debian, you might try using "make menuconfig" *after* "make defconfig" and enabling more options. >The /etc/fstab contains: >/dev/sda1 / ext3defaults,errors=remount-ro >0 1 >/dev/sda5 noneswapsw 0 0 Simple enough. >The /boot/grub/menu.lst contains: >root(hd0,0) >kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro >initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-686 > >root(hd0,0) >kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.1 root=/dev/sda1 ro >initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28.1 So, 2.6.18-6-686 is your Debian kernel I guess. Still Etch from the looks of it. Does that GRUB option work, or does it also leave you at "Waiting for root file system..."? If it works you might try taking the config-2.6.18-6-686 from /boot and using it as a basis for "make oldconfig" on the new kernel. No guarantees though, "make oldconfig" is not necessarily robust when making such large changes (.18 -> .28). >Some said that** there will be no /dev/sda1 for the new kernel, but >how can i know the replacement for it in new kernel? After the message >"Waiting for root file system...", the new kernel dropped into BusyBox >ash: Well, that's most likely the issue. In your specific setup (virtualized single disk) though, the name is probably the same (/dev/sda1) its just that you have to make sure the correct driver is loaded. You could be missing your filesystem driver as well, but ext3 is included in "make defconfig", AFAIK. >(initramfs) cat /etc/fstab >cat: /etc/fstab: No such file or directory Yeah, the initramfs doesn't use an fstab. The /etc/fstab you are familiar with resides on /dev/sda1 and that is not mounted yet. Busybox is invoked when the "Waiting..." times out. >(initramfs) cat /proc/partitions >major minor #blocks name That's not good, and does seem to indicate that the driver for your disk is not being loaded. >Right now, I don't know how to apply volume label or UUID to solve >this problem. Thanks for your time and help. From within the initramfs, try: ls -l /dev/[shm]d* /dev/mapper /dev/disk/by-* That should list most of the block devices available to the initramfs. If yours in not there, you either missed a driver using the kernel configuration process (most likely), it didn't get placed into the initramfs (possible), or the initramfs did not load it for some unknown reason (probably not). -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

The strange thing is, dhclient *does* modify resolv.conf, changing the search line from search SMUNET.SMU.CA to search SMUNET.SMU.CA, no-domain-set.aliant which is, it adds my home domain, but doesn't delete my work domain, and it leaves the nameserver lines pointing at my work dns. ??

AFAIk eSata can be unplugged safely in terms of electrical issues (i.e., you won't fry your drive). But of course, if you unplug while you still have data waiting to be written to the drive, you may lose data or even your whole filesystem. This is just inherent in unplugging and the same thing can happen if you turn off the power at the wrong time.
