No it doesn't.  It doesn't look at /etc/*/interfaces at all.

I guess that "ifconfig -a" reports all network interfaces recognized

 Also you can use "lshw -C network" instead of ifconfig (lshw uses

Fine.

Because the data on cylinders 5201 to 5400 is not as it expected.

However, as far as the file system is concerned those cylinders are still part 
of it, so it will happily write to them while trying to recover or just to 
update timestamps.

Yep, because you let etch muck with its data.

When you swapped motherboards, udev saw new Ethernet interfaces with new 
MAC addresses, so it assigned new names to them.  The same thing would 
happen if you had physical PCI cards, and you were swapping them around.

It always generates unique names for each unique MAC address that it sees.

You can rename it back to eth0 by editing
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules




Hi Kevin.

Thank you very much for your complete explanation.

But about the ifconfig -a command;   it only reports the interfaces 
configured in the /etc/X11/interfaces file, so (in my case) if I _do 
not_ edit the /etc/udev/rules file as you said and I change into my 
/etc/X11/interfaces file my eth2 back to eth0, ifconfig would never see 
eth2 back.  I'm asking if there is a command that can say me:  no, you 
don't have an eth0, you have an eth33 (for example).  Of course now I 
know that I can see inside the 70-persistent-net.rules files and look 
for them (thanks again)

problem with partition table

[Long Wind]

My /dev/sda has 6081 cylinders:
sda1: cylinder 1 thru 600 for win2k
sda2: cylinder 5401 thru 6081 for sarge
sda3: cylinder 601 thru 4800 for a extended partition
sda4: cylinder 4801 thru 5400 for etch

etch use about 54% disk space
so I delete sda4 and recreate it at cylinder 5201 thru 5400
then I install mandrake at sda4

Now I change sda4 to cylinder 4801 thru 5400
and find etch is corrupted
then I change sda4 to cylinder 5201 thru 5400
and find mandrake is corrupted too.

Can anyone offer some explaination?

You can make Hotmail do the right thing.  It's just a matter of whether
or not it's worth the effort when the default is to do the wrong thing,
and there's no way to change that.

Apt : adding etch CD's to lenny apt archive

[C.T.F. Jansen]

Greetings,
 I'm trying to add a debian 4.0 CD set to a debian 5.0 apt
archive using apt-cdrom but the system doesn't recognise the debian 4
CD's.

 In the release notes for Debian 5.0 there's a section on problems with
reading etch cdroms on a lenny system.  The suggestions were done but
the etch cd's were not read.

CD's from a sarge, debian 3.1, were recognised but failed to be added to
the archive for signature/key related reasons.

 Below is the /etc/apt/sources.list file that is supposed to control
the apt archive access followed by the trace of an attempt to add a sarge
CD to the apt archive and lastly the trace of an attempt to add an etch CD
to the apt archive.

*** list active lines of /etc/apt/sources.list on debian 5.0 system

I'm using Lenny with the 2.6.26-2-amd64 kernel, and VirtualBox works
fine.  After installation, and running "m-a a-i virtualbox-ose", a deb
file gets created in /usr/src.  I don't know for sure if you are
required to "dpkg -i" that deb file, but I think I did.

Also, the output of

  cat /proc/asound/

  grep -ri mic /proc/asound/

might help us find possible sources of problems in your audio

vdkbuilder2 wont start

[go...@dobosevic.com]

Hi all,
I had installed  vdkbuilder2 and everything what is recommended by 
Synaptic on Squeeze, but vdkb2 won't start. Little turtle jumping for 
few seconds and nothing happens.


This is shell output:
$ vdkb2

Google does not help me.
Is that bug or something is wrong configured?

Thanks for help.

No Input for Audacity

[Thomas H. George]

I checked the Audacity manual which recommended installing alsa-oss and
starting Audacity with the command line aoss audacity.  There was still
no input selector on the toolbar.

I also checked for the subject audacity in the debian user archive for
each month of this year.  There were none.

My system is Lenny and Audacity works fine with sound files I created in
the past.

Any suggestions?

LVM logical volumes get deactivated on reboot

[Till Wimmer]

Hi,

i set up a Debian system with the root filesystem located on a LVM 
logical volume:


/dev/sda1 -> /boot (with GRUB)
/dev/sda2 -> swap
/dev/sda3 -> LVM physical volume -> volume group "system"

The volume group "system" contains "root".
The kernel line in GRUB's menu.lst looks like this:
kernel  /vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/system-root ro

From time to time booting of this machine fails: Device 
"/dev/mapper/system-root" could not be found.

All volumes in the "system" group are deactivated for any reason.

Reactivating them from the rescue busybox system works without any problems:
vgchange -a y

What could be the reason for this issue?

Thank you.

/tmp/.h/update >/dev/null - what's that?

[Till Wimmer]

Hi,

on one of our servers (Debian Lenny) i found this strange lines in the 
syslog:

 ...
 Sep 13 06:31:01 samba2 /USR/SBIN/CRON[3455]: (tmp) CMD (/tmp/.h/update 
>/dev/null 2>&1)
 Sep 13 06:32:01 samba2 /USR/SBIN/CRON[3466]: (tmp) CMD (/tmp/.h/update 
>/dev/null 2>&1)
 Sep 13 06:33:01 samba2 /USR/SBIN/CRON[3476]: (tmp) CMD (/tmp/.h/update 
>/dev/null 2>&1)

 ...
and so on.

The cronjob is initiated from /var/spool/cron/crontabs/tmp:
 # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
 # (cron.d installed on Tue Jul 14 10:33:55 2009)
 # (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $)
 * * * * * /tmp/.h/update >/dev/null 2>&1

/tmp/.h/update does not exist. User "tmp" is used for samba mapping 
only. It's home is in /home/tmp, which doesn't exist neither.


Any idea where this cronjob could be from? Could this be an indication 
of hack attempt / root kit?


Any help would be much appreciated!
Regards,
TW

This is because AMD developed the 64 Bit extensions that Intel uses (as
a licensee) as well. From a user's perspective, the naming is a bit
unfortunate, but it is giving credit where credit is due.

Ctrl+Alt+F1 works on my up-to-date Squeeze KDE. I just tried.
You can always chose "Your Kernel version Singleuser" in grub.
Or you can switch to console (session manager or something like that at 
the bottom of display) before entering your user name and password.

Hope that will help you.

Yes, but some of the Pentium 4 processors are not 64bit enabled, you
need to confirm if yours is:

Status of snapshot.debian.net|org ?

[Memnon Anon]

Hi!

Has anyone some information on the progress of making snapshot an
"official" debian service?

I always found it an incredibly usefull service.
The last official announcements[1] I found
are pretty old. Last information was "(ETA: some months)".

Obviously, Ganneff is still working on this[2], but I found no further
references or informations of any kind ...

Anyone got a link?

Make that:

  filename "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0";

That is before gnome made us to install NetworkManager :-)

It is messy for lenny.  Installing backported NetworkManager together
with backported kernel was what I needed.  

(Now I have free 64bit atheros driver for my Mac too.)

Yes, that's correct: the tftp-Server is not running stand-alone, but it
will be executed by inetd whenever neede (so you have to verify that the
inetd-server ist really running).
Of course - if you prefer - you can also use the standalon tftp-Server
and uncomment the line in inetd.conf - it shouldn't make any difference

The easiest would be to use a network sniffer like wireshark in order to
verify which file the client is trying to download exactly. However, in
your configuration of the tftp-Server, the file
"/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0" on the server will be accessed by
"pxelinux.0" - without the directory. So just try 
 filename "pxelinux.0";
instead of
 filename "/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0";
maybe that will work...

HTH,

Axel

Re: Exim4 configuration file (non split) on Debian

Yes, it is generated from /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template, 
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros and /etc/exim4/update-exim4.con.conf. 
Especially the last name must have been cooked up by somebody to make

pxe booting problem

[abdelkader belahcene]

Hi,
I tried to install debian via PXE.
following the doc, I install netboot.tar.gz  which contains pxe file.
I configured the dhcpd.conf   here is relevant part :

host 00016CB3066E{   # MAC
hardware ethernet 00:01:6C:B3:06:6E;
fixed-address172.19.6.224;
server-namedebian225;
next-serverdebian225;
filename "/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0";
}

I decompressed  netboot.tar in /var/lib/tftpboot ,
I installed  tftpd-hpa
first problem:
the file contains /etc/default/tftpd-hpa


RUN_DAEMON="no"
OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot"

so the standalone tftpd-hpa is disabled, ??
 While the file /etc/inetd.conf  contains the good line
tftp   dgram   udp waitroot  /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot


When I boot  a remote machine,  I get correct address from the dhcp,

but the error is :  file not found  tftp error   ?
why  I declared  pxelinux0  in the /var/lib/tftpboot

question:  must I run a standlone /tftpd-hpa  or thru inetd, where I have to
declare pxelinux0for the connection

thanks a lot
bela

/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template

Many people can get away with just tweaking the debconf settings with

dpkg-reconfigure exim4

Those settings are in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf

That had no effect on how X saw the keyboard.

When I installed Squeeze I had to add a keyboard section in xorg.conf to
get a UK keyboard layout rather than US. After experimenting, I've found
that the presence of that section caused the other keyboard setting
peculiarities, but was worth it to get the '#' an '\' symbols on the
right keys.

By coincidence, today, Squeeze has just go a new version of xorg and
that fixes everything keyboard related :-)

it tooks a long time to execute load an app

[abdelkader belahcene]

Hi everybody,
I ve just install the new version of lenny (5.03),
execution of any application tooks very long time, even a simple xterm. On
the same machine other distro  or debian 5.0 is very faster.
The very  strange thing is that the time and memory is low
ps aux gives  for gnome-terminal1%   0.5%   for cpu and memory ,
but I waited more than  20 seconds to see the terminal window!
I noticed  with top,  sometimes the gnome-terminal disapears completly and
sometimes it ii in the top (of the top window)  before the loading of the
window.
I checked with ps aux,  there is no running program consuming  a lot of
resources

Is there a bug in this version
 Thanks for help
best regards
bela

Re: VirtualBox on Lenny 2.6.26-amd64 kernel?

Hi.

I've got Lenny, and I'm trying out the precompiled 2.6.26-amd64 
kernel, but not the 64bit install.


VirtualBox is the only application I've found a problem with. When 
running the 2.6.26-686 kernel, everything runs fine. When I boot the 
2.6.26-amd64 kernel, and yes I've compiled the module for that 
environment, it acts as if the module is a different version of VB 
than what is installed.


Is anyone else using the -amd64 kernel and VB? 


Curt-

  


Not exactly your situation, but if it helps, I run current debian 
squeeze, with 2.6.30-1-amd64 and 3.0.6-52128_Debian_lenny (the non-free VB).


What is the error message you're getting?

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
completes OK?

You can only get a single file at a time with obexftp.
You may want to use obexfs to mount the remote file system.

Cheers,

Using a Live CD is the safest route...


No need to fiddle with that, "shutdown -Fr now" should do the trick.



But the boot continues.

Probably just a personal foible, but I like to be able to do the 
fsck from a full-featured environment and not have to worry about 
anything else happening after the fsck completes.
