 Im using heartbeat with LVS (ldirector). For my setup, a while ago,
 I did an update.rcd ldirector remove, but when a release from debian
 stable was released, naturally it got reactived.  I need to keep
 this from running, and let heartbeat manage it.

Why don't you just remove the respective package? Many init.d scripts 
I've seen also source some file in /etc (usually in /etc/default ) where 
you can set some variable to inhibit the daemon from starting.

 Question: Should Audacity have a switch to select between input sources

My misunderstanding.  In the past I had a version of Audacity which had
a pulldown selection listing line_in, cd, mic and other choices for the
input.  I thought the current pulldowns were just to select the
soundcard. From you comment below I understand that the sound card is using
the input from all these sources simaltaneously and so the ones not
needed must be muted.

This new understanding does not help as I have already experimented with
all the Alsamixer settings without Audacity seeing any signal to record.
I have tried using line_in from my tape deck and lp turntable with the
same negative result.

What did help was the comment about other software.  I found arecord
works flawlessly capturing the input from the tape deck and the
turntable and writing it to .wav files on the hard disk.  Audacity can
load these files so I can edit them before writing them to cd's.  This
is what I wanted to accomplish so mission accomplished.

Thank you for clarifying the operations for me.

As far as I'm aware alsamixer (1.0.20 on my system) always uses 0,0
unless you tell it to use an alternative device with the switch -D.
Each device will have a separate Capture control for the individual
inputs available on that interface.  I believe Audacity is dependant on
the settings you use here, so unmute everything and set volumes to ~72%.

 Problem: On two Squeeze systems I have found two distinctly different
 versions of Alsamixer both labeled version 1.0.20.  One is capable of
 selecting an input source which Audacity can record, the other cannot.

Do the two systems have identical hardware?  If so, maybe one has inputs
disconnected or there is a hardware fault.

alsa does not (re-)store audio levels

Dear all
Even more sound trouble. On my system ALSA seems unable to (re-)store
the audio levels for Master. All other levels and switches are
stored and restored as expected, but on start-up Master is always
muted and at 0%.

I tried to work around and set Xfce to run aumix -v60 in terminal at
each start-up, but this seems to have no effect. Strange is that
manually running this same command in a terminal will have the desired
effect.
Could anyone suggest how to make ALSA properly restore audio levels on
start-up, or perhaps to unmute and set Master to a predefined
reasonable level?
Thank you
Liviu

using skype with a bluetooth headset

2009-09-20 Thread Micha Feigin

I'm to get skype working with my bluetooth headset

I managed to get it paired using blueman-applet and even get audio on it from 
mplayer using:
player -ao alsa:device=bluetooth ~/Music/When\ I\ Grow\ Up.flac

I setup a .asoundrc file containing:

pcm.bluetooth {
type plug
slave {
pcm bluetooth_hw
}
}

pcm.bluetooth_hw {
type bluetooth
device 00:11:22:33:44:55
profile auto
}

And skype seems to know the bluetooth headset showing both bluetooth and
bluetooth_hw devices (mic and speaker) but when I try to use them I get the
sound output in the spears instead of the headset.

As this is a 64bit system I even tried extracting 
/usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_bluetooth.so
/usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_bluetooth.so
from the 32bit packages but no difference

I tried to install pulseaudio earlier but it was in shambles (kept showing
connection refused messages and wouldn't work).

Any idea on what I'm missing?

Thanks

The earth cools, goes through ice ages (as it has many, many times

everything gets greens and happy again.

 As far as I can tell, I should get better performance by setting
 mulcount to 8 or 16. (ie. hdparm -m 16 /dev/sdb)
 
 But, hdparm warns that -m is a dangerous option. 
 
 What is your opinion on this ? Is this really dangerous ? Or is it only
 when playing with too high mulcount value ?

afaik those options only work when DMA is not in use, and using DMA is
usually much faster.

Are you using any kind of hardware RAID? Which kernel do you have?
I think that you are missing good drivers for the sata...

 You can't stop cyclical stages (please, no more global warming or
 climate change terms when in fact it would be correct to use something
 like cyclical change or stages).

 The earth cools, goes through ice ages (as it has many, many times
 before - and will continue to do) - then heats up again (as it has many,
 many times before - and will continue to do) and ends ice ages and
 everything gets greens and happy again.

 You are  simply silly to think that mankind can do more damage than
 Mother Earth herself can do so much quicker, efficiently, and will
 continue to do all on her own at any one time...

 Visa-Vie droughts, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics,
 pole shifting, etc.

 I'm waiting for these types to tell us that volcanism, plate tectonics
 and pole shifting is also brought on be mankind. When that happens,
 then I'll believe in human induced global warming...

Now let's be constructive.  Instead of blaming or punishing humans for
their faults as a way of collecting political power we should be
applying positive behavior modification to motivate constructive
action as follows:

Of course vulcanism, plate tectonics, and pole shifting are the fault
of humans.  In fact sunspots, the 3% variability in the solar output,
the frequency of asteroidal and cometary impacts, and all gamma-ray
bursts within 1K light years of the star Solaris are also the fault of
humans because so far humans failed to do anything to protect the
planet from those disasters.

 -- from an up-coming Scientific American /r/a/n/t/ article by
Tsipsis and Sachs.

The only question really worth debating is how much responsibility we
should accept for the historical destruction of the eco-sphere.  Is it
enough to simply stop the present harmful activity or do we have to
undo the past damage?  And how far back should we look?

If we want to stop the ice ages we have to restore the planet to a
time about 5.5e8 BC when the great oxygenation event destroyed the
greenhouse gasses that were stabilizing the climate.  That caused the
first ice age and contributed to the following ones.

But if we really want a complete restoration we have to go back about
2.5e9 BC to the time before early biological activity first oxygenated
the atmosphere and destroyed the iron-dominated ecology of the oceans.
 All we have left of that ecology is thousands of square miles of
banded iron formations (BIF), which /s/e/e/ google.

Clearly oxygen is the culprit.  When it appears with DHMO then watch out.

Biological activity caused all of those damaging changes.  Many people
think we should fix that.

I ain't one of 'em.

 Im using heartbeat with LVS (ldirector). For my setup, a while ago,
 I did an update.rcd ldirector remove, but when a release from debian
 stable was released, naturally it got reactived.  I need to keep
 this from running, and let heartbeat manage it.
 
 I thought I could use dpkg-statoverride, but Im not to sure of whats
 the correct method.
 
 If anyone help me, it would be appreciated.

The way I do is to force a stop config at all runlevels for theses
services. If they have a config, it will not be overwritten on upgrade.

Something like :
# update-rc.d -f ldirector remove
This, you have done, but also :

# update-rc.d ldirector stop 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 .

I'v read other means, dealing with policy-rc.d, but I don't

Unless this drive behaves in some weird way, it should be supported.
It'll work like any other mass media device that is plugged in.

Do not expect its proprietary backup software to work, though. But there

For hal:
match key=info.capabilities contains=input.mouse
   merge key=input.x11_options.AccelerationScheme

or the xorg.conf equivalent:

Option AccelerationScheme lightweight

When the old stuff is in effect, all xset m will be 100% identical.
FWIW, the lauchpad stuff sounds more like HW/hotplug/hal problems.

The Sensitivity stuff shouldn't be used, but since you seem to intend
to skip pixels anyway that's a moot point. In general, you may be better
off using a high-res device or somehow increase device resolution (some
mice support that).

 I have not configure tcp6 in my box but as you can see above proftd

Maybe you have to disable ipv6

Grub 1.5 error after update

2009-09-20 Thread Frank

I have googled the problem but can't make head nor tail of the solutions.

During today's update on my testing machine I was asked whether I wanted to
update to grub2. I said OK - after the re boot I picked the chain option. The
boot went well, so I ran the update-from-grub-legacy script. Now I am getting
Grub 1.5 error and the boot goes nowhere.

I booted a live cd and had a look at grub.cfg but can't make head nor tail of 
it.

I also don't see any reference in it to the Ubuntu which I have on hda3. Debian
testing is on hda2.

Can anyone help?

I will have to stay in this live cd and may only be able to read on the
web..which I guess is gonna be a problem.

  In alsamixer I see many headphone controls and if I plug into the

 In the mixer (both alsa and xfce) I have only one  Headphones volume
 control. Probably irrelevant, I also have IEC958 switches and
 IEC958 Playback Source options; no idea what these are for.
 
 I am not familiar with JACK. I just tried starting it from qjackctl,
 but JACK failed to start.
 
 
  amixer | grep Head
  Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
  Simple mixer control 'Headphone as Line Out',0
  Simple mixer control 'Headphone',1

 li...@debian-liv:~$ amixer | grep Head
 Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
 
 This is the relevant part from amixer:
 Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
   Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
   Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
   Limits: Playback 0 - 64
   Mono:
   Front Left: Playback 60 [94%] [-3.00dB] [on]
   Front Right: Playback 60 [94%] [-3.00dB] [on]
 
 As far as I can see here, the headphone levels are just fine. When
 headphones are plugged, though, the audio is simply not switched to
 these.
 
 
  Also you can play with .asounrd

  # from http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Dmix
  pcm.headset { # playback only on frontpanel headset
   type route
   slave.pcm dmixer
   slave.channels 8
   ttable.0.0 1 # headphones front L
   ttable.1.1 1 # headphones front R
  }

 Before I try this one, would there be anything I could with the first two?
 Thank you
 Liviu

When starting multimedia application it picks up the default audio device
which is not your headset output.

you can play with aplay -D ... man aplay and findout yourself which device
id the headphone one.

aplay -L
default:CARD=Intel
HDA Intel, STAC92xx Analog
Default Audio Device
front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
HDA Intel, STAC92xx Analog

4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers
surround41:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
HDA Intel, STAC92xx Analog
4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround50:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
HDA Intel, STAC92xx Analog
5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers
surround51:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
HDA Intel, STAC92xx Analog
5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround71:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
HDA Intel, STAC92xx Analog
7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers

so if i want to use 7.1 surround system I would use surround71 etc

IEC958 is optical/digital in/out as far as i know, you probably don't use
it.

You might need to update your alsa utils, libs or whatever or something, at
least I did though I think I saw you are using 1.2.20.

I can switch the output to front, back etc over the mixer. I think front are
the headphones.

Did the same thing and when asked which hda[] it should boot from just hit
enter. I should have put 3 into those brackets in my case, but didn't.
So reinstalled but can't download anyting to get the system going again,
because it's missing glibc-2.9-1 which is a virtual package apparently.

So my system is down for the count, and considering installing again, but
Lenny this time, because it will work.

So wait to see if someone has a fix before you attempt to install testing
again. Because you may hit the same wall.

HTH

  First of all just fixed my problem...by purging grub-pc in a chroot,
then running a cd of supergrub disc. Dam good thing I had that. That
allowed me to reinstall grub-legacy and everything **seems** to be fine now.

I didn't even see those brackets on the question!!! I too hit enter
figuring the choice was between hda and sda. Sloppy sloppy.




 but didn't.

  I used to run Sid but got tired of it being broken a lot of the time
so I switched to Squeeze. I guess Lenny is really the safest for those
of us who don't want to spend their lives fixing problems.

   No need for that thank God. What happened to glibc ???
