I found a solution at last:
everio .mod files are that were  supposed to be dvd compliant are a mess.
They're not indexed and that causes dvdauthor to fail (VOBU error) and
video aspect is erroneously set as 4:3 in mpeg header, even if clips are
16:9. I couldn't find a way to correct this headers in linux (ffmpeg maybe?)
while it is possible to do so in windows (dvdpatcher or sdcopy).
Anyway I joined all the clips and rebuilt the indexes with avidemux, saved the
dvd compliant file as mpeg-ps and authored with tovid. In the last step I
had to manually edit the .xml file generated with makexml to force aspect
to 16:9 (). Skipping this step dvdauthor
grabs aspect from video and sets it to 4:3 producing a dvd with wrong aspect.

From my experience, none wifi card, what i have tried, works with the 
installer!
I've tried rtl8187L and  d-link g-122 on lenny/testing/sid, that do not need 
firmware and the results were negatives. 

Thanks.

One thing you could try is editing /etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc and changing
the wrapper to "auto".  See /usr/share/doc/iceweasel/README.Debian for more
info.

I don't know anything about how PulseAudio and the setting in this config
file relate to each other, so sorry if this doesn't help!

You're right, it was so silly of me to assume that he had a working X with the
default nv driver which is loaded automatically, and that he wanted to find out
about something other than that.

After some further playing around, this does have something to do with Flash 
grabbign the sound for itself. when i restarted FireFox, before i played a 
YouTube video in it, i ran another app, and sound worked fine. After I played a 
Flash video, that app could no longer get sound.

And opening up a new browser, sound doesnt work in that one either. As long as 
the original browser is open, weather or not theres sound playing, nothing else 
can get sound.

does that help narrow things down?

I know this is going to annoy you, but I have to say it: you could get a card
that is 1000 times more powerful for about $10.

However if there is some compelling reason then you could try loading the
nvidia-glx-legacy drivers from non-free. I see they have a 71xx series, which
the nvidia website shows as appropriate for the TNT2.

I think I still have one of those lying around somewhere, it was my first
Nvidia card, and the one that I first got working on Linux. I played a lot
of Quake back then :-)

debian speakup sid problem solved

[Jude DaShiell]

I ended up having to use a sarge disk which installed lenny for me then 
upgraded to sid.  I had to do this a couple different times because using 
an amd64 kernel on a k7 machine udev didn't like whtn it was time to boot 
into sid.  I got an endless looping udev selected 408 unimplemented error 
until I corrected that mistake.  the desktop environment isn't yet 
allowing me to log in; seems to time out too fast for me to type the 
username and password in then hit okay button.  I think I'll get help on 
that problem tomorrow when a friend gets a look at what's going on.

Sound woes

[Dr. Jennifer Nussbaum]

I keep having problems with sound on my system that i just dont know how to 
describe any more. If there is a way to say whats going on, i want to know 
this, so i can get help better, and figure out myself how to keep things 
working. I dont want to do any thing fancy, i just want sound to *work*!

Right now on my Debian unstable system, i run Pulseaudio (for good USB audio 
support). Recently many things have stopped working. I can watch YouTube videos 
with sound, and click on MP3s and hear them, both from within FireFox. But when 
I open up another browser at the same time, that gets no sound. If I try to 
play an MP3 or a movie on my filesystem, i get no sound, whether i use 
Audacious or mplayer or totem or anything else. Most of the time there are no 
useful debug messags, but mplayer gives this:

[AO SDL] Samplerate: 44100Hz Channels: Stereo Format s16le
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
[AO SDL] Unable to open audio: No available audio device
Failed to initialize audio driver 'sdl'
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.


 If I go to System -> Preferences -> Sound, where it is configured to use the 
PulseAudio Sound Server for all output, i dont see what elese i can 
adjust--clicking on any of the "Test" buttons gives me no sound.

This is getting beyond frustrating as the only thing i want to do is listen to 
stuff on my computer, thats it, im not trying to network audio to a bunc hof 
devices. 

Are there steps i can take to try to narrow this down when it happens? Usually 
things fail all together but the fact that im getting sound from some apps but 
not others makes it really hard to figure out what do look at.

Thanks

Jen

cd cover making from meta info of audio tracks

[H.S.]

I am looking for a tool to create CD covers from meta information of
audio tracks on a Debian machine (Testing or Unstable). Anybody have
experience in this?

What I am looking for is a tool that can be made to create the cover
using meta info from a directory of audio tracks (without having to fill
the information in manually) and produce the output in LaTeX format.
Won't mind the output in another format though (PDF or PS).

Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure for you.  The installer did detect the firmware
required and asked if I'd like to load it from USB.  I'd say throw in the
NetInstallCD and see.. Come back with what it asks for and then we can
track it down.  

$ locate firmware |grep ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode

If I remember correctly the installer was asking for the 4965 ucode.

That has been my experience with the installer and a Intel Corporation
PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN.  You will run into a section asking you if
you'd like to load firmware from another device such as a USB disk.
However the one time I did try to load the firmware it failed.  That was a
while ago and could very easily been user error.  I asked about WPA/WPA2
support coming and was told it is being worked on and should be
incorporated in the Squeeze installer.

Could you please post the link?

From my experience the installer can detect wifi cards (it will need

2.6.29.4 Woes (resend)

[David Baron]

Upgraded 2.6.29 kernel source from Sid.

On boot, floods the screen with stuff like
unix _struct disagrees 
This may be from udev trying to respond to a kunix.ko

Did not know there was such an animal. Kernel is compiled using the same 
.config as worked in 2.6.29 1-3.

Luckily, I have a 2.6.92 around (rt-patched) so I can get up. On this one, the 
console goes kerblooey and was unusable until  the console-setup kicks in! 
So I might want this to engage much earlier in the bootup init sequence. The 
old "console-kit" produces an error on either kernel bootup.

1. How to fix 2.6.29.4 (or wait for another version)?
2. Console-kit daemon -- get rid of it?
3. Can console-setup be run in its place, i.e. near start of bootup?

becayse many shell docs say you must first redirect strout to somewhere and

Kernel panic, hit reset button then all's OK

[jidanni]

On my older machine, upon the first boot of each day I get

  cannot open /root/dev/console: no such file
  Kernel panic. not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Then I hit the reset button, and it boots fine.

It seems to have started after I upgraded to linux-image-2.6.29-1-686
A web search lead me to http://moto.debian.org.tw/viewtopic.php?p=29346
suggesting one add DELAY=3 in /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf
etc. to slow down the handoff after grub or something.

However it seems that I use initramfs-tools, so I need to know how to do
that with that instead, and hopefully getting not much deeper than
dpkg-reconfigure...

Any clue here?

Thank you very much!

  
I have had very similar problems and every time it has been a problem 
with mdns being used to resolve sites external to my LAN.  The easiest 
fix for me is to just get rid of the avahi-daemon package as it takes 
mdns with it and I don't use any packages that rely on mdns. 

The symptoms are the same for me as they are for you.  I can ping, 
traceroute, and use host to resolve urls from the bash prompt, but when 
I try to surf the net nothing gets resolved. 

To check to see if this is the problem install wireshark, if you don't 
already have it installed, and do a packet capture when trying to surf 
to an external website.  If you have dns queries going to 
224.xxx.xxx.xxx avahi-daemon/mdns is the culprit.   There's another fix 
that doesn't require getting rid of avahi-daemon if you make use of it, 
but I can't remember what it is off the top of my head.  IIRC it has to 
do with /etc/hosts and localdomain, but I wouldn't swear to that.  It's 
been too long since I wanted to keep avahi-daemon and repaired the 
problem without getting rid of avahi-daemon and I've forgotten the exact 
details.

Postfix won't write the thing to disk either.  You can configure postfix
to use procmail for delivery, and procmail will push the mail
through the script to the user.  I don't see the fussing with aliases,
but I don't use tbird :-/

This has unfortunately no effect here.
acpi_listen shows events for the other key combinations,
but not for Fn+F4, perhaps it is consumed before ?!

Sid+KDE4 seems to be currently in a bad shape,
if I try suspend2ram via the KDE4 Leave-menu or via s2ram -f
it starts blinking the sleep led
and then only terminates the  KDE4 session and shows the KDM - login window.

 I was wondering if anyone knew of a way, perhaps using /etc/aliases, so
 that all incoming mail addressed to my username (hrickards) is encrypted
 with *my* public key, so that when I read it only I can read it using
 *my* private key. If the mail was signed or encrypted beforehand, it
 could then be decrypted with my private key as usual.

I've given nobody a home directory to nobody using usermod, and running
/usr/bin/gpmail from the command line logged in as nobody works fine,
but I still receive blank emails when sending mail to
gpm...@l33tmyst.com. I suppose it could be that I'm sending it to the
address it's meant to forward it to, could someone send an email to
gpm...@l33tmyst.com for me? Thanks.

So far I've added the gpmail alias in /etc/aliases as a test using the
following line:

gpmail:|/usr/bin/gpmail

I then created the /usr/bin/gpmail script, and ran newaliases. In
/usr/bin/gpmail I've got:

gpg --encrypt --sign --armor -r hricka...@l33tmyst.com|mail -s Test
hricka...@l33tmyst.com

When piping stuff to it from the command line it works fine, but when
sending a test email to gpm...@l33tmyst.com I get a blank email in
response. I think this is because /usr/bin/gpmail is being executed as
the 'nobody' user (I setup a whoami script), and I've setup the GPG keys
for the 'mail' user. nobody can't use GPG, as it doesn't have a home
directory, so is there a way to change the user that Postfix pipes
things to with (to mail or any other user with a home directory)? Thanks
for all the help.

That's one way, but I'm pretty sure installation CDs based on testing are 
published by some Debian team.  I've never downloaded one though, so I 
couldn't tell you were to find them.

I hear rumors that the business card install CD lets you select your 
distribution as part of the expert install process.

Hmm.  So, we're looking at encrypting mails as they come in, prior to
disk write, in a format that you, and only you, can later decrypt them,
preferably using gpg.  I don't care why, it's an intereѕting problem.

Local storage remains secure.  At least that's what I think is the
intention.

Outside of using some disk encryption system like this:



I'd try to pipe the mail fetchmail, procmail (pipe to
encryptionscrypt,write-encrypted-email-to-disk)

Remembering procmail only functions as a gate, and does not write the
mail to disk until told to, and neither does fetchmail 
(or getmail or retchmail).

script should be very simple:

gpg -e -r yourusergpgidhere themessage

Build from that command. 

Trick is to not write to disk prior to encryption.

Sounds like a good idea.  I think that the installer has that
out-of-the-box as one of the guided-partitioning options.  If not, you
can certainly do it manually.

This came up not that long ago.  It was suggested that having /
encrypted can prevent someone trojaning executables on / (e.g. /bin/ls).
However, since you need an unencrypted /boot, then someone could trojan
the kernel or the initrd itself (perhaps to email the attacker the
password you enter to decrypt the filesystem), who knows?

I suppose that you could have /boot on a USB stick so that without the
stick, the laptop won't boot and there won't be any unencrypted data on
the laptop.  There's good LUKS documentation: read it.

I'm sure that this has been (and is being) looked at by people with a
particular interest in laptop security.  Just don't assume that
raid1+crypsetup+lvm will make your laptop absoulutly secure.

Doug.

Any ideas when this is likely to be supported in the mainstream kernel - 
I think I saw 2.6.30 hptiop may support it - do I need to wait for

Re: dvd authoring footage from sd camcorder

[Arthur Marsh]

Leonardo Canducci wrote, on 2009-04-25 17:57:

I have some footage shoot with a jvc hcsd camcorder I'd like to put on
a dvd. Every clip is stored as a .mod file that should be a standard
mpeg-ps file with ac3 audio. Once renamed as .mpg each clip plays out
of the box.
I'd just like to: join all clips together and put the whole video on a
dvd without re-encoding.
Video should be already dvd compliant so I't just a matter of joining
a few files and generate a dvd iso suitable for any dvd player. Easy,
right? No: I tried a bunch of dvd author apps and none of them was
capable of joining the clips, many were difficult to use, immature, no
more developed or just plain broken. I got the "best" results with
devede but I got a dvd with wrong aspect ratio, I couldn't generate
the dvd without re-encoding (it did complain erroneously about disk
space) and each clip was a title instead of a single title divided
into chapters.

I'd really like to hear from some of you who have tried that before
what are the recommended tools to accomplish that task.

Thanks!


I'm assuming that you have the www.debian-multimedia.org lines in your 
/etc/apt/sources.list (I have:


deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main
deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main

). I have used the package videotrans with some success. I have also 
used avidemux.


What packages did you use besides devede?

Regards

Arthur.

And that's fine.  One of the duties of a Debian maintainer is to sort such
things out.

Further, if the OP wishes to stay on stable, use "stable" in
sources.lst, rather than "Lenny".  Similarly for testing and unstable,
of course.

Seeing as he already uses Debian, and this is a Debian list, shouldn't
we try to keep him using Debian rather than telling him to use another
distribution. Although I suppose GNewSense is based on Ubuntu, which in
turn is based on Debian.


As to your original question, I'm not sure if it's the best way but it's
certainly the way I use. I've now used that method to upgrade from Etch
(oldstable) to Lenny (stable) on my server, Lenny (stable) to Sid
(unstable) on my main box, and Lenny (stable) to Squeeze (testing) on my
laptop. You might want to upgrade from Lenny (stable) to Squeeze
(testing) though, so you're not skipping any releases. I know that's the
reccomended way to do it in Ubuntu.

you can directly install testing from its iso, for 64bit cpu,
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso
for 32 bit cpu,

Hugh again: Thanks to Sven and Bob for the help.  I can work around this
problem by configuring these programs with the IP of their respective

There are a number of packages that include 'irc services' . e.g.:

$ aptitude search '~G protocol::irc ~Gsecurity::authentication'
p   dancer-services - IRC services implementation for dancer-irc

$ apt-cache search irc | grep -i servi
atheme-services - modular IRC services daemon
dancer-services - IRC services implementation for dancer-ircd
hybserv - IRC services for IRCD-Hybrid
ratbox-services-common - irc services for use with ircd-ratbox
ratbox-services-mysql - irc services for use with ircd-ratbox with the mysql 
backend
ratbox-services-pgsql - irc services for use with ircd-ratbox with the 
PostgreSQL backend
ratbox-services-sqlite - irc services for use with ircd-ratbox with the sqlite 
backend

Encrypting incoming messages with GnuPG

[Harry Rickards]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way, perhaps using /etc/aliases, so
that all incoming mail addressed to my username (hrickards) is encrypted
with *my* public key, so that when I read it only I can read it using
*my* private key. If the mail was signed or encrypted beforehand, it
could then be decrypted with my private key as usual.

e.g:

u...@domain.com sends email to hricka...@l33tmyst.com. The email is
encrypted with hricka...@l33tmyst.com's public key.

Postfix encrypts this email *again* with hricka...@l33tmyst.com's public
key, and put's it in hricka...@l33tmyst.com's inbox.

Thunderbird with EnigMail (my mail client) downloads the message and
decrypts it with my private key. The message then looks as it was when
it was sent.

Thunderbird then decrypts the message again with my private key, leaving
me with the plain text.




However, if the message was not signed in the first place, it would look
like this:


u...@domain.com sends email to hricka...@l33tmyst.com The email isn't
encrypted.

Postfix encrypts this email with hricka...@l33tmyst.com's public key,
and puts it in hricka...@l33tmyst.com's inbox.

Thunderbird downloads the message and decrypts it with my private key,
leaving me with the plain text.


Sorry if I wasn't very clear. Thanks

Feedback needed: New version of rtorrent uploaded to unstable

[Rogério Brito]

Dear users,

I one of the maintainers of the rtorrent/libtorrent packages in Debian.

Many probably know, but it doesn't hurt to say here that rtorrent is  
a very lean bittorrent program meant to be used in the terminal, but  
very powerful and with advanced features like Peer Exchange (PEX) and  
Distributed Hash Tables (DHT). It has feature parity with other  
bittorrent clients and is very lean and can be flexibly used, even  
with remote downloads.


The team of maintainers has just released a new update of the packages.

The new versions are found in unstable, but I believe that there's  
nothing that would prevent them from working in a testing/squeeze  
environment, which means that you can grab the packages from your  
preferred mirror and install them (along with their dependencies, of  
course).


So, I would like to kindly request some feedback on rtorrent/ 
libtorrent, since it incorporates major features and some  
incompatible backwards changes that are important to be known, as we  
think that the package is fit for a new Debian release (if nothing  
else blocks it).


Please, test it and let us know how things are going. If you find  
bugs, please report bugs against rtorrent. Your feedback is very much  
appreciated, as we are working to get you a solid release.



Thanks, Rogério Brito.

P.S.: Please, keep the CC'ies, as I'm not subscribed to debian-users  
and I don't know about the other developers also.
