Lenny rescue mode doesn't see partitions; install mode does
Hello all, I just thought I'd boot up the i386 Lenny netinst.iso to ensure that it sees all the hardware: I'll wait for a couple of months before upgrading from Etch to Lenny. The Box is an HP NetServer LPr D6131-60200 dual PII/450. It has an integrated symbios SCSI system but the drives are connected to an HP NetRaid-1si that runs in Etch under the MegaRaid driver. If I boot up the Lenny CD in rescue mode, at the point it stops for "choose language", megaraid is not mentioned in the dmesg. While looking for the CD it finds the megaraid and the logical drives it presents (sda and sdb) with all their partitions. Eventually, the rescue-mode stuff gets to the point of looking for the partitions but then says it can't find them. However, from a shell you can fdisk the partitions no problem. If I boot up the Lenny CD in expert install mode, it has no problem finding the disks and shows the existing partitions. I'm hoping that when the time comes, the upgrade will proceed and I won't need to reinstall anyway, however the lack of a rescue mode troubles me. Any ideas why the discrepancy between rescue and install modes? Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Herewith a simplistic explanation. I'm sure that I shall get corrected where I have deviated from the strictly technically correct! ;-) apt-get update doesn't render the system up-to-date. It updates the list of available packages. So if you want to upgrade to Lenny, you must first update your list of available packages to Lenny: therefore you must alter your sources.list _before_ you update the list of available packages. Otherwise you won't get a proper upgrade because your system will not know what is available.

MySQL Clustering; Load balancing is not working.
This is a project of personal experimentation and learning; in other words, if I goof something up real bad, oh well. I can reinstall. I wanted to learn more about MySQL clustering so I looked around and found this guide [1]. It was the newest guide I found (8 months old), so I decided to give it a shot. I went through the guide with a little deviation and I end up with mostly the same results as the author. Data written to one node, shows up real quick on the other node. The management interface all gives the same results as the author too. However, the big problem (and reason for my post) is the virtual IP for the load balancing doesn't work right. When I try connect to the virtual IP: $ mysql -h 10.0.1.10 -u ldirector -p Enter password: It will sit here for a really long time before giving: ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.0.1.10' (111) Which, if I understand right, means the client isn't getting data back from the MySQL server. However, if I try to connect directly to one of the nodes, I get success! So I started to think about it. What gives? What did I do wrong? Then I went back step by step to see where I went different from the author. Step 1) I obviously have different hardware, and the author uses Etch while I used Lenny (fresh net-install today so it is current stable). Step 2) Author uses MySQL 5.1.24 compiled from source. I used apt (I am not afraid to compile but I didn't because apt is awesome :). $ apt-cache show mysql-server | grep -i version Version: 5.0.51a-24 Well, I guess I can see the versioning being a problem. Maybe I should update and compile a newer version. ?? Step 3, 4, & 5) I get the exact same results as author with exception of trivial things (like our PID's don't match. Whoop-de-do. Of course they won't. Doesn't affect the outcome.) Step 6.1) For whatever reason, I can't update the GPG key for ultramonkey, but I just hit y to install anyway on apt. Also, he installs libdbd-mysql-perl from a download he gives from CPAN. I had errors with his commands. Turns out you have to install libmysqlclient15-dev (not 14) and you have to install make too! Then his link to the DBD-mysql-3.0002.tar.gz didn't work for me. However, the link to the newest (I believe) DBD-mysql-3.0008.tar.gz, _did_ work. So I installed that one. So again, versioning issues? Step 6.2 - 7) Everything works exactly as the author suggests it should, /except/ for the last line of: `mysql -h 10.0.1.10 -u ldirector -p` As stated before, this fails. I can ping 10.0.1.10. I can even ssh into 10.0.1.10. They both redirect me to the (current) primary load balancer. If I turn off the primary, I go to the secondary. Also, if I run `ipvsadm -L -n` I can see the connections show up, even though they time out. So I don't think it is the virtual part. I think it is the redirection to the MySQL session.

This is slightly misleading. Yes, lb for lb, LI batts perform better, but often if a camera uses AA's, it uses two or four, which pack a wallop vs a Li batt which may last longer, but how long do you really need vs the ease of having standard chargers for AA and the excellent reusability of AA's in many devices? For me, it's a win-win for my two smaller cams (Canon S5 and Pana LZ10, that use AA's and last a long time with Sanyo Eneloops). My big cameras both use the standard XT/XTi LI charger, so at most, for 4 cameras, I carry two chargers and two cheap sets of replacements for the AA's. I can shoot indefinitely for cheap money, vs. having two or four replacement LI batts around (which, for name brand, are minmum 20 bucks each on the cheap end) > I was in Budapest last week with a friend who had to buy new AAs for his > camera.

Suspend/Resume issues - Custom scripts not running? Mouse frozen?
Hi. I recently installed Debian Lenny onto my Dell Studio XPS 16 laptop. I'm having issues getting resume to work properly. I can suspend, but when I resume and compiz was running, my screen shows up with only my cursor and some corrupted textures. I attempted to solve this by writing a script /etc/acpi/suspend.d/00-compiz.sh that executes the following: Code: #!/bin/sh killall compiz killall compiz.real xfwm4 and /etc/acpi/resume.d/99-compiz.sh Code: #!/bin/sh killall xfwm4 compiz --replace These scripts don't appear to be working, however. Manually killing compiz before suspending will show my screen as normal upon resume, but simply running pm-suspend, gnome-power-cmd, or /usr/share/acpi-support/suspendorhibernate won't. In both cases, my touchpad becomes completely unusable on resume. I tried to solve this by using another script: Code: #!/bin/sh modprobe -r psmouse echo -n "i8042" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i8042/unbind echo -n "i8042" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i8042/bind modprobe psmouse It doesn't work and I'm not sure what else to try. I'm not even sure if the scripts are running (how can I check?). Can anyone help? This issue is really the only one keeping me from using Linux permanently on my laptop.

I don't have an answer for you, but I'm having trouble imagining that there can really be any solution for the general case.

I'm probably missing something here, but how about setting a symlink to the config file(s) in a web-accessible directory. I often do something like this, sometimes adding ".txt" to the end of the symlink name so the server treats it as a text file. I don't know what to make of the "click through" bit; that sounds like maybe you want to generate a set of linked web pages from the config file, which sounds like a job for perl, python, etc. Ken -- Ken Irving -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The "new way" to configure resolution, multiple heads, etc. is via RandR: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 There are several graphical tools for configuring RandR in the Debian archives, see "apt-cache search randr". If your driver/hardware combination does not support the RandR extension then you can add the old-fashioned "Modes" lines to your xorg.conf yourself, following Sven's hint on how to get started.

The special images used, known as live images, are available for CDs, USB sticks, and netboot setups. Initially, these are provided for the amd64 and i386 architectures only." I have been to the Debian web site, and the web page at http://www.debian.org/distrib/ , does not include any reference to "live images", that can be run without being installed. That web page, with the heading and title, "Getting Debian", refers only to installable versions of Debian 5. It says "If you simply want to install Debian, these are your options:" but no mention is made, of anything like "If you want to run Debian without installing it, you do this:" I note that the paragraph above, from the announcement message below, saya that the "live images" are special images, indicating that they are not the same as standard installable images. Are "live images" of Debian 5, available? If so, how do we get them? Thank you in anticipation. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..

php-cgi segfault problem
Hello, I recently upgraded a debian etch box to lenny. Since then php-cgi keeps segfault-ing from time to time. It doesn't happen on every http request, many requests are served ok.

Logitech MX Revolution/MX1100
Hello all, I'm thinking about replacing my mouse soon as the ball is starting to stick after about a decade of use, and I'm looking at either the Logitech MX Revolution or MX1100. Does anybody have any experience with either of these in Linux? I'm particularly interested in whether the special features work, like the magic scroll wheel, extra buttons, and (on the Revolution) the extra scroll wheel plus the ability to move the wheel left or right. I'm a little wary since my current mouse has a thumb button which only seems to do anything when using the special driver in Windows, so I don't want to pay for features if they won't work for me.

exim4: auth. to smarthost - what to set AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS to?
In exim4, what value should AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS be set to to enable authentication associated feature? My exim4 (on Sarge) is set up in smarthost mode, and I'm trying to set up authentication to my smarthost, my ISP's SMTP server. I found some documentation saying to set AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS (in AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS), but I haven't yet found any that says _what_ to set it to. I tried simply setting to true like this: AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = true but that yields the error: # /etc/init.d/exim4 restart Restarting MTA: 2009-02-19 11:03:43 Exim configuration error in line 637 of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.\ tmp: authenticator name missing Invalid new configfile /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp not installing /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp to /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated Line 637 is the AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = true line. (When I don't try to set it, my exim4 doesn't use authentication when talking to my ISPs SMTP server, and it rejects the connection with "550 5.7.1 Authentication required.)

The solution, at least for me, at that time was to just rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf to something else and restart gdm.

I think you hit the nail on the head in your last sentence--the primary benefit to camera design of custom-designed batteries is probably the size _and_ _shape_, at least for ultra-compact cameras (such as my Casio Exilim EX-Z580 (which takes a flat, square NP-40 battery), and Casio's V7 and V8, which couldn't also use the NP-40 and uses a long, skinny battery because of the different internal lens layout; these are about the size of Canon's Digital Elph cameras).

It certainly won't hurt to try. (well, it *could* I suppose, just review it first). But it sounds like you just need to make a simple tweak to your xorg.conf. Search through it for the HorizSync and VertRefresh lines, comment them out (with a "#") and see what happens. X is pretty good at detecting monitors these days.

Hello all! Thanks for the suggestions! Here is where I am at. I have the one laptop that I have been working with, but until last night I had not looked into detail at the others. So last night I goofed around with the various others. Several of them had problems (bad screens, busted motherboards, keyboard with stuck keys, ect). So I part swapped until I have 2 laptops that appear to work really well, and one that has a busted mouse (not a big deal to me). I also made the discovery that one of the laptops that all the hardware appears to work on, is a different model and it has 98 on it! Sadly, this one doesn't have a lan connection, nor wireless, nor a USB port, nor a CDRom drive. Just a floppy, a parallel port, serial port, and a PCMCIA slot. I do have a wireless PCMCIA adapter that works, so I spent last night splitting drivers and other files to fit on a floppy to copy over to it. If I can get 98 on the internet then I should be able to use the earlier suggestion of www.goodbye-microsoft.com. On the good system that has a USB port, I tried Celejar's suggestion for the Smart Boot Manager on a floppy. So I put Debian Live on the USB drive and tested that it worked on another machine. However, SBM refuses to see the USB drive. I do have a question that came up from last night. Since I was taking all these laptops apart and doing a bit of mix/match to get things like a good screen paired with a good MB and a working keyboard, I figured I might as well install to one of the hard drives that I had pulled out. So I fired up my old p2 400mhz desktop that was in the depths of the closet (best match I have to the old Pentium line), plugged the drive in via a USB adapter, and installed Lenny to the drive. Everything worked as far as I could tell. It booted at least. So then I plugged the drive into the laptop, reassembled, and on boot up I get a GRUB message that just sticks there. After thinking about it, I never updated GRUB. The install system probably installed it as SDx and in the laptop it probably just shows up as HDx. I was thinking I would take the laptop apart again and try to fix my error. It is a PITA to take them apart, but after doing it so many times last night I think I have it down. Besides, the mouse is already busted so not a big deal if I break something else, right? So my questions are what suggestions do you guys have? Are GRUB and fstab the only things I need to update? Installing i386 with the 2.6 kernel to a P2 shouldn't have problems transferring to a Pentium, correct? Is there a better kernel I should install? What are the chances that something like this http://main.gnulabs.org/?q=node/3 will work?

I am not an electronic engineer, but I can imagine there's some benefit to designing a battery that delivers the cameras exact energy requirements rather than trying to make the most of the fixed output of AAs. Given how small compact digital cameras have become, AA batteries really just add unnecessary bulk. I had a Sony DSC-S40 which is a great camera and takes AA batteries. If you can find one like that (or a similar one), I can definitely recommend it. I passed mine on to my mum (she had the exact same one but it went missing) and got myself a DSC-T100 before an overseas trip. I chose the T100 because of its sleek design - no protruding lens, and only about 1.5cm thick, so it fits in my jean or shirt pocket, and I don't even know it's there. I have invested in an extra battery for each of the digital cameras I've owned since, and honestly, it's been worth every penny. The T100's battery is tiny compared to two AAs, and gave me roughly double number of pictures that I got out of two 2700mAh NiCads. You can get third party ones off eBay that works just as well and cost little more than good AAs. Something else to keep in mind is that few rechargeable AAs can discharge as fast as the dedicated camera batteries, which means your flash cycle time is slower, unless you invest in the best AAs you can find. To that end, the Uniross 2700mAh are the best I've found so far. But each to him/herself. --kj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

But you could write a bash script to do the actual comparing and chmod-ing once you have either a list or a clean installed copy. (back it up before running the script for real of course). richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0
*Dear Sir's, I downloaded and installed the new Debian 5.0 Lenny and was very happy with the installer which is the best of all Linux installers. After installation I am not able to run the system. I come to the screen where it asks for the user and password, after these are entered i get the $ sign. When I type 'startx' it does not start the operating system. This problem is being faced by me since the earlier versions of Debian. Please someone be kind enough to help me resolve the matter. Any assistance / advise given will be highly appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Farid Ansari Karachi, Pakistan*

But, if I understand well, the `unstable' option is excluded from your point of view, that only considers the alternative between stable and testing.
