I don't remember how I did it, but I followed an instruction in either squid's 
or privoxy's FAQ and got them daisy-chained. I go to squid's port and it goes 
through privoxy. Works good...

Oh, wait. That's not transparent. You'll need a redirect rule in the packet 
filter on the proxy host. And make it the proxy host the default route. And 
make the real router to the Internet the default route on the proxy host... Are 
you sure it has to be transparent???

That seems like a pretty good system.

I'm unclear what the order of execution is.  Does udev create the event
which invokes automount ?

and if automount is executed first, how is it getting invoked ?

Re: gstreamer in squeeze

[Jim McCloskey]

Some time ago (Fri, 29 Jan 2010 01:04:58 -0800), I reported a problem
with gstreamer in Debian. The problem was that even though audio
playback under Alsa worked fine, applications (like rhythmbox, listen,
amarok and so on) that depended on gstreamer would produce only
silence. I concluded:

  |> So it's some problem either in gstreamer itself or in its negotiation
  |> with Alsa, a problem which didn't exist before the upgrade.

I spent a lot of time trying to work out where the problem lay, and
learned an awful lot about gstreamer in the process (stuff that I was
very glad to learn), but never found a solution.

I'm happy, though, to report that a recent upgrade to gstreamer (to
0.10.28-1 in current testing) fixed the problem. I don't know what got
fixed or how (I would love to know), but more important is that things
work very well now.

Thanks to whoever was responsible for this,

Jim

Actually I'm into simplicity. My current GTK theme zip up to only less

I've settled down with the following:

gtk_color_scheme = 
"fg_color:#3e3e3e
bg_color:#888a85
base_color:#babdb6
text_color:gray21
selected_bg_color:#4f76a0

If anyone want to use it, just replace the Martin's gtk_color_scheme

I don't mean to make light of your problem, but this reminds me of an
old bath soap commercial.  Many years ago, Dial soap had an advertising
slogan that went like this:

   Aren't you glad you use Dial?  Don't you wish everybody did?

s/Dial/lilo/

No doubt my friends and acquaintances on this list will accuse me of
having a lilo "fixation", but this opportunity was too good to pass up.

But seriously, it's obvious that somebody messed up with the package
dependencies.  There's not much point in having a grub-legacy package
if it can't be installed, now is there?  As I see it, you have the
following options:

(1) Force grub-legacy to be installed with overrides to the package
management system, leaving you with a "broken" package management
system.

(2) Live with grub-pc until somebody gets their act together and fixes
this problem, or

(3) Forget the whole ugly grub mess and switch to lilo.

I know what I would do, but it's your call.

but if it were installed on the copy from drive, shouldn't it then
also be installed on the copy to drive? all the config files were
there.

oddly enough it does. i was poking around in the BIOS this morning and
the usb is indeed a boot option. not what i wanted, but it is there.

i have successfully gotten the new larger drive to boot and load up my
old debian configurations.
since i could not get grub-install to work, even with chrooting in, i
ended up installing minimal debian on the empty larger drive
[installed in the system].
after setting the partitions there and having the installer setup grub
i shut the system down and swaped out the drives.
with the larger drive as external i cp -arv all the folders except
/proc onto the larger externally connected drive.

Sjoerd mentioned using chroot; are you?  Hmm, maybe you need to bind mount 
proc, sys, and dev also...

# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/somewhere
# mount --bind /proc /mnt/somewhere/proc
# mount --bind /sys /mnt/somewhere/sys
# mount --bind /dev /mnt/somewhere/dev
# chroot /mnt/somewhere
# grub-install /dev/sdb1

"Check your device.map" means look at /boot/grub/device.map.  It should look 
something like this:
(hd0)   /dev/sda

I think device.map maps BIOS drives (basically boot order in BIOS) to Linux 
devices.

Perhaps if your new drive is connected externally you should change that to 
sdb, run grub-install, and then change it back...  I really am not sure about 
that.

grub is the bootloader, and runs soon after the BIOS; without it installed your 
system will not boot.

Also, your laptop might not support booting from USB and booting likely will 
not work through the adapter interface anyway.  Of course you might have 
installed the disk in the laptop, in which case the previous paragraph applies.

Basically, you just want to make sure that the partitions still match up.

Here, you have a single root filesystem plus swap area.  If you partition your 
new drive the same, you can probably leave this alone.  If you partition 
manually, you may have swap on partition 2 so you would need to change 
"/dev/sda5" to "/dev/sda2".  You can get the partition information from the new 
drive with eg. "fdisk -l /dev/sdb".

Note that with 2 drives you will probably have sda and sdb; if you have your 
new drive connected externally it will probably be sdb but when you move it 
inside will become sda.

I use automount with a udev-fired script which generates automount
maps based upon the usb (or firewire) device's label. 

For instance, my backup drive is labeled rsnapshot_backup. When I plug
it in, an automount map is created for /media/auto/rsnapshot_backup/. 
When unplugged, the map and mount directory is removed. 

My script still has some rough edges, It contains a fair amount of
crockery to deal with devices which generate multiple add events, such
as my ipod.

It's fairly short so I'll attach a copy to this posting.

How about putting privoxy between the browser and squid?  I don't run

You'd have to ask the metacity people. But I doubt they will be able to

will do).

No, but I think your best bet is to switch your window manager which you
ruled out in your first post. And then I don't know of a window manager
that satisfies your point 1 (re-arranging of windows on taskbar). I only
remember some freeware for Windows that allowed that. I would still use
it at work if it didn't make explorer.exe crash. :)

But while I like the idea when running Windows, I absolutely have no
need to re-arrange taskbar entries when running Linux. I guess the
reason is that every window manager for Linux has virtual desktops (and
maybe that I have more open windows at work). :)

Re: Manage window: change positions, etc.

[Olivier Cailloux]

Hello,

I posted this message one week ago but did not receive advices. Does 
anybody know an other place where I could ask the question? Or is it 
incorrectly framed? Do you think it is worth re-posting it in a new 
thread? (I don't want to spam the list, but I have the feeling that the 
question must have an answer because it seems a common task other users 
must want to achieve...) If no software exist to solve my problem, I am 
ready to program one if it is simple enough ; and provided someone would 
kindly point me in the right direction.


For the record, my DE is Gnome.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Olivier


Olivier Cailloux a écrit :

Hi all,

I would like to do automate two related tasks on my debian box 
(stable), preferably without changing my window manager (because I am 
happy with it and would prefer a simple solution if available).


1) Change the task bar position of some windows.
I use a software (namely, eclipse) which creates when started several 
windows.
These windows appear on the task bar on an order depending on when the 
windows are created. I would like them to be automatically placed 
where I like them to be. I have a preferred ordering in which I like 
to see my windows on the task bar and currently as it is not automated 
I have to manually change these windows positions on the task bar each 
time I start the software.


2) Make some windows appear on a specific desktop.
When starting a software (i.e., eclipse again), I would like to tell 
it to always create his new windows on the desktop number 2. Note that 
the new windows are all created at the software start (I don't create 
any new windows afterwards) and as it takes a long time to start I am 
usually working on a different desktop when it decides to create some 
windows.


Currently, to implement point 2 (or rather overcome the problem), I 
use devil's pie [http://burtonini.com/blog/computers/devilspie]. I 
configured it to *move* the windows containing the application's name 
to desktop 2 as soon as they appear. But it is not really satisfying:
- the windows appear on my current working desktop before being moved 
to desktop 2. It makes the screen flickers. The screen flickers once 
per created window, thereby giving a very bad feel. I would prefer not 
being bothered by the software starting while I work on desktop 1 and 
find out only when I later switch to desktop 2 that the application is 
started with all its windows being waiting for me.
- it does not work well: frequently the last window or several ones 
still appear on the desktop I am currently working as long as I don't 
click their icon, and only then are moved.
- it must be running as a daemon (currently I set it up to start when 
I log in) although I only need it when I start the software (this is a 
minor problem but I mention it anyway).


Also devil's pie do not (AFAIK) solve point 1.


I know that I will probably not find a perfect solution (having none 
of the mentioned drawbacks), and would thereby be interested by every 
suggestions you could give me that would lead me to a better state 
than the one I am currently in. E.g. if you think that the best 
solution in my situation would be to drop my WM, please tell it as 
well. (BTW how can I know which WM I am using?)

Here I am.

I left the mute enabled so I have unmuted the player and the stream 
becomes active again. No need to pasue/play to hear the music *but* it 
seems something happened in the meantime as the playing timer shows 
"4:25" (4 minutues and 25 seconds) which indicates the stream flow auto-
stopped a few minutes ago.

Strange. Maybe the site has implemented a timer to disconnect users 
beyond 5 hours :-?

This following mail I got from Christian (why didn't you send it to the

His suggestion is (if I understand correctly) that some other package
somehow pulled a reference to /etc/pam.d/samba in the
/etc/pam.d/common-password. It might be possible, but also those other
packages shouldn't touch your common-password, except some configuration
scripts that you explicitly authorize. Anyway, it might be a good idea
to look in that situation. If you have backups, you might be able to
find the last alteration date of your common-password (before the change
you did to fix it, of course). The apt log might then tell you which
packages were updated that day, so you can try to find out what went
wrong. It is a whole lot of trouble though, so you can also hope
somebody else runs into this, but does remember how it came into being.

Hi Sjoerd,

sorry that I have to write u a direct E-mail - I red your thread about 
this passwd-problem and I've had the same one.
I think it's not due some strange changes which samba did, but in fact 
there are some "standard"-pam-modules not installed - so pam is forced 
to fall back to the winbind-pam-authentication. I noticed that, because 
when I purged samba and windbind passwd gives me the hint with "module 
is not available" and so I screened for not installed libpam-packages 
and realized some which could be the problem. In the end I think the not 
installed "libpam-pwdfile" was the problem, but I've also installed some 
others as: libpam-ssh, libpam-modules, libpam-cracklib (which was 
already installed after setup), libpam-runtime, libpam-unix2.
Maybe you can post this to the list, that also others are able to access 
that solution!

Thanks a lot

When I used RedHat, it has a nice logfile GUI viewer so as for you to 
view all system logs in a central place. I am yet to find such tools 
under Debian.

So far, multitail is the closest that I can find:

Description: view multiple logfiles windowed on console
 multitail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail
 program.
 .
 The difference is that this program creates multiple windows on
 your console (with ncurses). It can also use colors while displaying the
 logfiles for faster recognizing which lines are important and which are
 not.
 .
 It is optimized for terminal-sessions through slow links.

Hi,

I was try with knetworkmanager (can't remember password and connect)

I supose it is wpasupliciant error?

Same thing on one other HP laptop with broadcom wifi and Squeeze.



I don't have any encryption so it isn't that. I'm not broadcasting
ssid so I could try turning that on.

Actually, I had a memory lapse: this is in fact an HP laptop with the

How to read log files

Is there a good resource for learning to read log files such as the

RE: Working network connectivity, not working DNS resolutions

everything is copied over to the new drive. grub-install is kicking me however.

grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1.  Check your

i have found this link, http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4622?page=0,0
but it requires a floppy disk, which my cd-rom lacking laptop has no
hope of having.

how can i go about installing grub with the new drive connected externally?

also, if all of the grub files are located in /boot/grub, and all the
kernels are the same, and the new larger drive has the boot flag, why
is it that the disk will not boot?

Mine used to look like this,

You can use the hal-find-by-property command, like this:

  hal-find-by-property --key volume.uuid --string 'DEB0-0001'
  hal-find-by-property --key volume.label --string 'Debian Inst'

(These two examples are for a usb stick that has the Debian installer on
 a partition with the fslabel "Debian Inst" and the UUID "DEB0-0001")

It plays fine here with Totem. I open the following link:

And all seems to be right (music plays, no stops, no hiccups...).

Re: Debian pdf files

[Omar Campagne]

These are awesome guides, and Debian is easy to install, so you can
also learn following your specific needs after installation.

If you want some general guide that can apply to all distros, yet suit
Debian just fine, I recommend the famous Oreilly's book Linux Cookbook.
It taught me a lot at the time I used Ubuntu (my first distro), and the
recipes apply to all distros (with distro-specific differences).

It actually seems to happen preferentially with PowerHitz. My network

hangs for other reasons, whatever the media.

Maybe somebody could test PowerHitz?

I use Nullmailer, and it removes several dependencies of Exim4, not just Exim4 
itself.  There are probably some config files somewhere that are not removed, 
but I have an 80GB disk which currently contains only the BR and /, no data, 
so I am not heartbroken.

I am not doing it to clear space, but to stop boot up getting slowed down by 
Exim4.  Others' no doubt have other motivations.  So I agree with you, 
Celejar,  that Exim is probably not purged - I don't mind, so I haven't 
actually checked!

You're missing the point - I know that your aptitude command will

exim4 is a MTA , xmail is also MTA , the system alows only one MTA , so
aptitude resolves this conflict by purging exim4

Hard to tell.

Maybe a network connection glitch that makes the player to stop buffering 
the streamed data and leaves the application in a "hold/waiting" state.

Does it happen regardless the media player or the source URL? 

I mean, have you tested with another player and/or with another media 
source to check if it also happens the same way? :-)

I don't have any encryption so it isn't that. I'm not broadcasting
ssid so I could try turning that on.

Actually, I had a memory lapse: this is in fact an HP laptop with the
above wireless set-up.

Do you still need to add them to /etc/modules if  you are using udev?

No. There is plenty of documentation scattered all over the place,
making sense of it is the hard part.

Take a visit to your local library and have a browse or borrow some
books on Linux. There are some books for Windows users wanting to
migrate to Linux. They usually have glossy pages with nice pictures.

Can you be more specific on the type of books/pdfs you want?

First off, read the Debian Installation Manual. Also the Debian
Reference Manual.

VLC stalls from time to time when listening through MMS (protocol)

[Merciadri Luca]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I sometimes listen to an MMS flux with VLC 0.8.6h w. wxWidgets
interface. Everything goes fine during a given amount of time (which
can be ~5 hours), and I then hear nothing from my speakers. I then
press the `Stop' button in VLC's GUI, and it then shows me

`Unable to open 'mms://216.155.136.196:80/powerhi?MSWMExt=.asf''

Okay, I then press `Play' and it works just as before. Why?

Thanks.

He is indeed right.

HAL is now in maintenance mode¹ upstream, which means that will be soon 
deprecated and being replaced by devicekit-*.

Hi,
I don't have any luck with wireless on Ideapad S10e b43 (Sid 
2.6.32-3-688 and some previous ker. version's) for a long time.


I don't think it's kernel or b43 problem. I can connect if I don't have 
any encryption at all and if ssid is broadcasted.


I was try with knetworkmanager (can't remember password and connect) and 
wicd (error: bad password).

I supose it is wpasupliciant error?

Same thing on one other HP laptop with broadcom wifi and Squeeze.

Better use "aptitude install postfix" or "aptitude install postfix exim4-"
instead.  Your above sequence will remove any package that depends on an
MTA which is probably not what you want.

Any such package would be RC-buggy, but fortunately almost everyone uses
just the sendmail interface which is provided by any MTA.

One MTA conflicts with the other and removes its packages.

You may, exceptionally, need to dpkg --purge the exim4 components
and there's no guarantee that there wont be something hard coded to 
expect exim _somewhere_ but the above has worked for me.

Wireless on BCM4315 with 2.6.32

[Anthony Campbell]

I am using Sid on a Thinkpad Z61M. I have wireless working with kernel
2.6.31, where I think I compiled the relevant module using
module-assistant.

I tried to use kernel 2.6.32 and installed b43-fwcutter but it doesn't
seem to do anything - no driver fetched or installed. Possibly this is
due to #561450, apparently unfixed. 

Has anyone got wireless working with this set-up?

Anthony
