Okay, then.

- What are your fonts settings in Iceweasel?

Here is what I have:

***
Occidental (iso-8859-1)
Proportional font: San serif
Serif: Times News Roman / point: 16
Sans-serif: Arial
Monospace: Courier-new / point: 13
Smallest font size: none
[x] Allow pages to select their own font face, instead the above selection
***

BTW, you can make some checks between Chrome and Iceweasel by browsing 
through these pages:

http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/Font/font-arial.html
http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/Font/font-tahoma.html
http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/Font/font-verdana.html

Here is a snapshot of how Iceweasel renders Arial and Verdana fonts in my 
system:

http://picpaste.com/arial.png
http://picpaste.com/verdana.png

Also, print the pages (directly from both, Chrome and Iceweasel) to see 
if you still see the size difference in the printed page.

Inquiry:How to enable "NAT" on Debian 3.1 ?

[hadi motamedi]

Dear All
On my Debian 3.1 , I installed the Asterisk 1.4.13 and DECT application
software and then when I want to try for "NAT" I issue as the followings :
#iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.20.30.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
But it didn't get through . So I checked if the "NAT" is enabled on my
Debian server , as the followings :
#echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
But still I cannot try for "NAT" . Can you please let me know which other
setings maybe influenced and need to be checked for enabling the "NAT" ?
Thank you in advance

I am using a script to run mutt:

[ '~/bin/mutt_firefox' ]
#!/bin/sh

xterm -geometry 80x45+400+100 -u8 -e mutt -e "set editor=mcedit" $1


Which generaly works, IF the "mailto:"; link does not use something like

?subject=something

attached.  Also it opens every time a new tab which is not more closed.

Question:  How can I prevnt Firefox openening every time I click
   on a "mailto:"; link an empty TAB or WINDOW?

This is already set by default and it does not  work  since  the  Dialog
"File Open" from Firefox is slightly different from the GTK-2.0 one.

Gratulations, now we are at least two!
I hate Firefox/Iceweasel into hell.  With Seamonkey it works.

And of course, you can ONLY add an application,
but you can not add options to the executable.
This is the last crap ever seen.

Thanks... But that is hard to provide, as I can't ssh into it. Had to
copy those info by hand from another monitor.

I got my net working by switchin the modem to routing mode with NAT and
setting its IP to the address of the Linux router.

Have to work on that machine later... I lost my firewall, as well as
amavisd-new (with ClamAV, F-Prot and BitDefender), they were working on
that machine, can can't setup those on any other machine (inefficient RAM..)

I'm not sure I get what you're talking about, but:

In the GTK file selection window (eg. under Firefox's Ctrl+O hotkey), 
press "/", as if starting to enter an absoulte pathname. A Location 
textbox will appear, where you can middle-button-paste and tab-complete. 
This will even stay permanent: the file 
~/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini will be created or modified, with the 
following contents:


[Filechooser Settings]
LocationMode=filename-entry
ShowHidden=false
ExpandFolders=true

(The LocationMode entry is the important one.)

I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, as this Location textbox can 
be switched on by a quite obtrusive button in the top left corner as well, 
with a tooltip saying "Type a file name". So this may be a feature of the 
GTK file chooser, while the GNOME one might lack it.


Sorry if the above is completely irrelevant in the tread.

Cheers,
lacos

xorg cpu usage

[debuser]

After running X for a few hours, the xorg server starts to use around
20% of the CPU.  Is that not rather high?  The computer is a laptop
running sid.

Here is an extract from a typical htop display (formatted to make it
less wide), sorted by CPU usage:

CPU[|||   29.0%] Tasks: 246 total, 1 running
Mem[||208/486MB] Load average: 0.56 0.42 0.30 
Swp[ 153/1463MB] Uptime: 3 days, 22:43:19

PID USER  VIRT   RES   SHR S CPU% MEM%   TIME+  Command
  27837 root  171M 20276  4908 S 25.0  4.1 37:05.50 /usr/bin/X11/X -nolisten tcp
  29508 nick  2516  1308   968 R  2.0  0.3  0:01.03 htop
  27990 nick 11188  5928  3176 S  1.0  1.2  2:31.75 xmobar
  27918 nick 12052  5368  2348 S  0.0  1.1  0:01.71 xterm -class UXTerm -title u

X clients are typically uxterm, iceowl, emacsclient and iceweasel.
Even after closing all X clients except the desktop (xmonad + xmobar)
the X server cpu% remains about the same.  The computer is running sid
with kernel 2.6.31-1-686.  The device driver in its xorg.conf is
"intel".

The graphics chip via lspci:

   00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM
   Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
   00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated
   Graphics Device (rev 02)

If I quit X and restart, the cpu settles down to around 3% as shown by
htop.  But it increases again after an hour or two, with accompanying
fan noise.  So far I cannot tell if anything in particular triggers
the increase.

Interesting question. 

Is there any FAQ availabe for this list?
Some lists keep sending a monthly pointer to a faq, this list does
not...

Does it exist?
'in places like'... does not refer to a specific place for debian-user.

Would it be a good thing to have?

Please comment.

Thanks for your work; I've saved it to refer to. It helps and probably is a
good idea to post this monthly.

Someone mentioned the sheer volume of information that is often available to
the Debian user. I can see how it's intimidating and confusing to the casual
user as it is to even those of us that consider themselves perhaps a little
more experienced but still learning non-the-less.

So I guess with my blabbering what I'm trying to say is; It' nice to have short,
concise information available in certain situations. 8)

Why not both? Isn't the point that if not read here at least it will show up

Well, so far I found that the problem happens only with truetype fonts
and ONLY at 10pt (tried arial, verdana, tahoma, trebuchet ms) -- they
look different on the two browsers. Other font-sizes look the same.

Thanks but that seems to have no effect on the browser contents, just
changing gnome fonts.

Re: Create amd64 DomU in Debain

Dan,

According to the 'xen-create-image' manpage, "--image-dev" is
"Specify a physical/logical volume for the disk image.". I havent tried it
myself (because I love lvm), but it sounds like you can use a physical disk
for the root image with xen-tools.

A corrupt filesystem can cause a hard lock on boot as well.  Please

That's an important point. 

Are all the fonts rendering bigger than they should or just happens with 
Verdana? If only one font is rendering badly, it is also possible that 
the file is corrupted in some way.

OTOH, are you using TrueType (".ttf) fonts?

In Gnome, you can right-click on the desktop and select "Change desktop 
background / Fonts tab / Details"

In KDE, it should be under Control Center (or "Systems settins", I dunno 
the KDE4 way :-P) / Appearance / Fonts.

I believe it is a hardware problem. But still disk works, it loads

printes the output to console.

Create amd64 DomU in Debain

[Dan McClung]

I am trying to set up an amd64 DomU. I have a cfg file I have been
copying to create 686 DomUs (the Dom0 is running an amd64 kernel), but
when I use it with the install-arch=amd64 I get an error that it can't
find the kernel:
ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/vmlinuz

Sure enough the netboot/xen directory is not there, although it is
present in the i386 directory. I modified the config file to pull my
local kernel (/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64), but that hung when I
tried to install. So I changed the cfg file to pull the ramfs and the
kernel from the following path:
ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-amd64/current/images/cdrom/

Also with no success (invalid kernel). 

Why is there no xen directory under netboot?I had read that the same
kernel was needed on both Dom0 and a DomU for pci pass through to work,
and that's how I set it up successfully on my x86 machine. Is this
correct for the amd64 kernel or can I pass a device through with the 686
kernel in the DomU?

I looked into using xen-tools, but it seems you cannot create a DomU in
a physical partition. I suppose I could create an image and dd it over,
but I would hope there is a better way. 

Thanks for any feedback,

   Dan

Not sure what happened, and I don't know where to look for processes that are 
maybe orphaned, or running wild..
I tried to play an MP3 with mplayer now it says:
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.

I have this process running:
 /usr/lib/gnome-volume-manager/gnome-volume-manager --sm-disable
/usr/bin/timidity -Os -iAD


a video in Firefox doesn't say anything, it is just silent.

Amarok opens and says:
xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers.

I forget what app I tried, but I do recall one saying that the device was 
being used by another process, but I can't find anything running. where to 
look?

does it respond to pings? can you ssh in? 

have you tried booting into single-user mode? 

is it locked up hard or does the keyboard (capslock, numlock) respond?
Any response from the magic Alt-SysRq?

That's interesting, although I guess that would be more likely if the
prolem was extended to all the fonts, not just one (or a few, I'm only
sure about the example I linked) -- anyway how can I set screen DPI?
Option in `device` section in xorg.conf seems to have no effect.

A Debian Lenny machine declined to work

[Jari Fredriksson]

I write this to here, while it is probable that no one will have any ideas.

I had a Lenny PC as my router to internet, having 2 NICs and an ADSL
modem in bridged mode in one, and another in my switch.

Suddenly my network died, and when I rebooted the router this happened.

It boots, finds the hard disk, and loads stuff. Last stuff it prints on
screen is usual boot stuff, and in addition to that Arno's Firewall
output. I think that is normally printed to screen console. All logging
should be logged via syslog to my main server, but nothing happends now.

The console does not show login prompt, and the machine seems to be dead
or otherwise dead after the boot. It does not route network, and does
not allow me to log in and study logs.

If only the NIC was broken it should allow me to log in from console, right?

What might cause this? It boots but not fully. No error messages in
console. It just does not do anything useful.

I asked because if this behavior is reproducible "system-wide" (that is, 
if almost any application renders Verdana 10pt a bit bigger than it 
should) it could be related to your screen dpi size.

At least under Lenny (in Gnome desktop) the default dpi was (wrongly) 
setup at 86 dpi and I had to change it to 96 so all fonts look at their 
right size. 

I'm also using TrueType fonts, mostly the MS ones (Arial, Verdana, 
Tahoma, Courier New...) and now all of them renders okay in *any* program.

But I'm not sure if the problem you are facing can be related to this at

With the best will in the world, this statement doesn't help. 

This question is a Frequently Asked Question [FAQ] - answered elsewhere 
in places like the Debian Wiki - but something which comes up fairly 
regularly on this list. 

Similarly, people coming to Debian are bewildered by the number of CDs/DVDs 
- "Do I really need to download all 21 / 5" or whatever, the sheer 
volume of packages and the confusion of "There are three downloadable 
versions of Debian but they're all one Debian" and the repeated effective 
assertion that "Once you get past the installer, you need only ever install 
Debian once and then apt-get / aptitude update does all the rest"  

That leaves aside the "ia64 doesn't work on my Intel machine", any 
mention of sheet music and duelling banjos or why apt-get has an 
immediately useful moo option and aptitude doesn't :)

Herewith a couple of quick answers: if need be, can we work up an FAQ 
list to be posted here once a month or so in the same way that some very 
long-established Usenet lists post multi-part FAQs?

Which Debian version should I choose?
=

Debian has various versions. There is always a stable, released version. 
There is a "Testing" version and also an "Unstable" version. The testing 
and unstable versions have more package churn as they settle: packages 
may be uninstallable for varying periods of time if package dependencies 
are unavailable. The normal sequence of events is for a package to start 
in unstable, move to testing after a period and then, on release of the 
next version of stable, be in the stable release.

How long does support for a stable version last?

For one year after the release of the next stable version. The trend at 
the time of writing is one release every 22-24 months, so a version is 
fully supported for approximately three years.

How should I install Debian?

Use a CD/DVD/USB bootable image or possibly from a network server PXE 
boot. As of Debian 5.0.x, floppy installs are no longer practicable 
because of the size of the kernel.

How many CDs / DVDs is it?
==

One network install disk if you have Internet bandwidth: if you have no 
connectivity or are behind a firewall, 5 DVDs or 22 CDs. It is not 
necessary or desirable to install every Debian package.

etc. etc. :)

All best,

Andy

Openoffice writer renders Verdana 10 just like Iceweasel (assuming its
10 point size setting is the same as CSS 10pt). So does Abiword, but I'm
not sure it's a significant comparison.

Update Manager slightly broken

[John Jason Jordan]

I have a fresh install of testing amd64 as of two days ago. Right after
the installation the Update Manager orange star appeared in the gnome
panel notification area. Hovering over it revealed that there was one
upgrade available. But running Update Manager (either from the panel
icon or from System > Administration) does not show any upgrades
available. From the command line apt-get check, apt-get update, and
apt-get upgrade do not show anything wrong, nor are there any packages
to upgrade.

The problem appears to be just in the gnome panel icon.

Does this happens in all applications? I mean, does OOo writer renders 
verdana 10pt at the right size or also renders it a bit bigger?

Different font rendering in Iceweasel and Google Chrome

[Matteo Riva]

Fresh squeeze install, I have this very annoying change in font
rendering in Iceweasel -- specifically what looks ugly is Verdana 10pt,
it just got little bigger than my "old" testing install (not updated for
since september I think).

Screenshot of the difference: http://fruple.com/kemper/font_sizes.png

Iceweasel (3.5.5, but same behavior with 3.0.14) on the left, google
chrome on the right: the usual appearence I always had is the one shown
now in chrome. Epiphany looks the same as Iceweasel (they use the same
engine maybe?). This is driving me crazy, any idea on what caused this?

I verified it's not related to a specific profile, as it's the same on a
new freshly created user.

That's why I suggested looking at the cups-bsd package description.
cups-bsd is the cups interface to the printer.  It replaces all of
the programs that lpr supplied.  The entries you were worried about in 
your OP were lpr generated. As you stated, you could not print 'some Web 
Pages'.  As your using cups, why not install it's version of the lpr 
programs.



I guess my question is, if I have cups installed, why do I need cups-bsd?


See above.  You can't print some web pages now, but you want to.  Why 
not try cups-bsd.  You asked for help and I have given you my 
suggestions on how to fix your problem.



I would do
aptitude purge lpd
aptitude install cups-bsd libwine-print lsb-core


I thought about doing that, but it goes to my question above.


Se ya.  I'm off to do some real work now.

it is actually:
aptitude purge lpr

and when you do that, it "suggests" you install cups-bsd, so your next 
aptitude install isn't necessary:

Why not build it as a module and load it from initramfs?  That is what I do.

I also have console-setup installed, and it does not do that here.
Might be an issue with GDM (which I do not use).

If you build it as module, the initramfs scripts translate the video=
parameter into something the module understands.  Thus, video=i915 is
sufficient if you enable KMS by default (CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y).

i915 kms, init runlevel 2 switches virtual console

[Martin Kraus]

Hi. I'm using debian testing with vanilla kernel 2.6.32-rc8. I've staticaly
compiled i915 with kms enabled and it acctually works. The only thing that
annoyes me is that after init runs runlevel 2, it automatically switches to vt
4 (I have only 4 vt running from init) a continues boot messages there. I'm
not sure what does that, I'm suspecting console-setup of doing that.

Is this happening to anyone else? Before I dig into console documentation to
learn how it works to fix it. I guess that is going to be time consuming.

Also, kernel switches the required video mode a bit later then vesafb did. Is
there a way to set this on the kernel command line? I've read that it is
recommended to get rid of the vga=. I've tried setting this via video=
parameter, but I guess inteldrmfb doesn't support modedb. The vga= probably
uses vesa mode that isn't part of the fbcon. However, I know almost nothing
about how that actually works. It would be just a nice thing to have the
correct mode set right from the start.

thanks for any pointers

On Access Virus Scanner Recommendation

[Holger Rauch]

Hi to everybody,

I'm thinking about using NOD32 on a Debian system for on access virus
scanning (i.e. scan a file when it's created or its contents are
modified in some way).

I'm aware that there's the Dazuko module, but allegedly it doesn't
seem to support NFSv3 or NFSv4 file systems since NFS uses socket
communication to write files not "ordinary" file system calls and
Dazuko can only handle these.

So, my questions are:

- Which virus scanner would you recommend for a central file server
  running Debian Lenny offering FTP, OpenAFS, NFSv4 and SSH/SCP access?
  
- Is Dazuko a recommended solution? If so, which version? (I ask this
  because there are several available by now)
  
- If not, what would be possible and practical alternatives for Dazuko
  and/or NOD32?
  
Thanks in advance for any hints & kind regards,

   Holger

It seems they are bundled within "qt4-dev-tools":

Also, there is another "standalone" package for "qt4-designer":

To all those who think that my post was "completely unresponsive,
presumptuous, arrogant, unhelpful, dickish, and possibly a reason why
people who come to this forum for help leave, pissed off" let me say a
few of things

1) Posting your concern or your approval of such a concern is
self-refuting (plus it was top-posted, b/c it wasn't a direct response
to the OP's problem).
2) The OP seems to have appreciated the manner in which I sent it. I
suggested "taking off the training wheels" and the OP is starting to
do so.
3) The "help" was merely a pointier to a tutorial.

I wish John nothing but the best. If you were annoyed or offended,
then you miss the point. Using this list as your personal man
page/blog is not fair (yes, yes . . . refer to my first point ;-).

I also have an HP6MP and with Gutenprint it "takes ages" to get an 
output.

What did you change to use foomatic?

In the cups interface http://localhost:631/printers  pick the printer 
and, in squeeze anyway, select  in the administration dropdown select 
Modify printer. Select  Continue on the first two selections until you 
get to the 3rd which allows you to select different PPDs.  I tried all

try it out.


Thank you for the information. I changed to foomatic with no improvement.
The reason for that is probably the printer.
I read up on the printer info under foomatic and there I found out that 
I do not have enough memory in the printer.

After that is fixed I will know more.



In squeeze there are only 5 choices for the HP6P so it doesn't take 
long to find a PPC you like.


I have configured my HP6P with 4 different names.  printer 6P is set 
for 600 dpi, HP6 is 150 dpi, HP6P is 300 dpi, and PDF is when cups 
creates a PDF file also at600 dpi.


Again this is for squeeze.  IIRC there is no Admin box in the earlier 
version of cups.  There were a bunch of options boxes under each 
printer instance.  Look for a Modify button, an options buttion and of 
course print test page.


Please do NOT write directly to people on Debian User.  We use the

I have an Epson R380 setup in CUPS using the Gutenprint driver:
Description: EPSON USB2.0 MFP(Hi-Speed)
Location: Local Printer
Printer Driver: Epson Stylus Photo R380 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.2


my concerns are:
1. /var/log/lpr.log show this:
 more lpr.log
Nov 21 05:42:29 paulandcilla lpd[11629]: /dev/lp0: No such file or directory
Nov 21 05:43:30 paulandcilla lpd[11702]: /dev/lp0: No such file or directory


and I have lpr installed. Not sure if I need it or want it.

2. I have problems printing from SOME web sites, especially when they are PDF 
files, it tries to use the lpr printer, and goes nowhere. Sorry, I don't have 
a good example handy..

I have these installed:
ii  kpdf4:3.5.9-3+lenny2  
ii  adobe-flashplugin   10.0.32.18-1

Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10
ii  adobereader-enu 8.1.1   

Adobe Reader allows you to view navigate and print PDF files.

I am happy with my setup in CUPS, that is not the issue. the Gutenprint 
printer driver is the best I have found for my Epson R380 printer. My issue 
is with the lpr.log file:

this is from lpd, not CUPS ( I think ??) and I am not sure what it means or 
how to get rid of it. Should I not have lpr installed? do I need it?

I've run into this too and have not found a solution, except for

Yes, "that" annoyance comes from "upstream" (Firefox).

If you are on Gnome, then you're lucky. Firefox integrates better with it 
(at least for managing "mimetypes" and "mimehandlers") :-)

To make Icedove opens Sylpheed, just go to Gnome "System / Preferences / 
Preferred applications" and select there the MUA of your choice.

Well, Evolution is not configured and never will be configured. I use
Sylpheed for my mail reader. I am very happy with Sylpheed and have no
intention of changing.

I've tried various ways of getting this to work over the years but now I
just take the simple way out. I right-click on the "mail-to" link. This
produces a little window with the email address in it. I copy this into
Mutt and carry on from there. Not very elegant but it works.



If you go to Edit - Preferences, go to the "Applications" section, and 
add or change the entry for content type "mailto", you can use a 
different mailer.

I am going to take a different direction than the few answers I've seen
thus far.  I call this into question.  I offer myself up as an example.

I have been using Debian since shortly before the libc5 to glib2 (libc6)
conversion.  IE, started on Bo (1997), slightly before Hamm (1998).  That's
6-7 years before Ubuntu's first release in 2004.

Here are my Linux machines and the distros they use:
Olethros - Leased Xen VM for web/mail/ftp presence on the net.  Debian.
Teleute - Router/Samba server for my local network.  Debian
Morpheus - Desktop/Game Machine (dual-boot w/W7) - Ubuntu
Mania - Dell Mini 10v Netbook, my carry/use everywhere machine. - Ubuntu

I question the notion that Ubuntu is somehow a lesser distro that one
outgrows.  By what you've written I should have never started using Ubuntu
since I supposedly outgrew it years before it existed!  Yet it is the Distro I
use most often as virtually all of my web browsing & email correspondence is
performed on my Netbook running Dell's remix of Ubuntu 8.04.  The only desire
I have for this machine is to have a newer release (9.10, anyone?) of Ubuntu;
preferably KUbuntu.  Not Debian, not Mandrake, Fedora Core, Puppy Linux or who
knows what other distros.

Would I make an argument for Debian on servers?  Hell yes.  I think it is
the premiere server distro and would fight tooth and nail to get it on any
server that I were responsible for.

But for your personal machine?  Does Ubuntu work for you?  Is it reliable?
 IE, is there any reason you're looking at another distro other than some
friend's snobbery when it comes to what is a "real" distro and what isn't?  If
the answers are yes, yes and no, simple.  Tell them to get bent and keep on
with what works for *you*.

If it is for academic purposes why sacrifice the stability you have thus
far enjoyed for learning.  Or, from another perspective, why not learn a
little more and be able to do both?

Install VirtualBox on your Ubuntu partition.  Run Debian inside the VM to
learn it if that is your goal.  You can make a clean install, set a snapshot
to that point, then go about breaking the system, tweaking it, doing things
you might not otherwise do and when all else is said and done, if you can't
recover normally, just reset back to the snapshot.

Assoc.ing Process with Network Traffic (iptraf, iftop, etc.)

[Volkan YAZICI]

Hi,

I can monitor network traffic of specific interfaces via iptraf of
iftop. What I also would like to do is to associate a system process for
the related traffic. Is such a thing possible? Are there any tools
providing such a functionality?


Regards.

dom0# ip route

You are building a bridge with peth0 as phisical nic which was eth0
before xen was installed in your server.

Corrupt Reiserfs file system

[Ogya Chief]

One partition on my linux box with reiserfs is corrupt and I am trying to get 
it fixed. I ran the following command:
reiserfsck --rebuild-sb /dev/sdb2.

The report I got indicates that either I have a corrupt journal or I have 
changed the start of the partition table editor.
It prompted me to build the journal header and the report I got indicates that 
I have some corruptions and I was 
prompted to confirm whether the statistics were OK. When I entered n the 
program aborted with the message that 
"Super block was not written. 

How can I go about fixing the corrupt partition.

Regards,
Ogya
