Well of course it can. That's just another area in which GNU/Linux is  
years ahead of Gates/Windows. That's not a proper "driver" though --  
it's just a "wrapper", introducing an additional compatibility layer  
between your hardware and your operating system, and making it harder  
to troubleshoot and maintain. Moreover, a kernel running ndiswrapper is  
considered "tainted" (look that up on Google) and *unsupported*. When a  
given card can only use ndiswrapper and no other driver, it actually  
means that the card is *not Linux-compatible*. The fact that it can be  
made to work with a wrapper has little to do with that. What you really  
want to look for is a Linux-compatible card with a functional *native*  
Linux driver. It'll save you from many a gray hair.

logrotate won't finish, high cpu usage

[manuel]

Hi!

recently i've been experiencing problems with logrotate, each time it runs
it 
gets kinda stuck and eats up the systems cpu for days without finishing (i 
don't have that many/big logfiles to rotate)

the output of "logrotate -d -v /etc/logrotate.conf" just stops at "reading 
config info for /var/log/btmp"

the logrotate configuration for /var/log/btmp looks like this:
> /var/log/btmp {
>missingok
>monthly
>create 0660 root utmp
>rotate 1
> }

when i run strace on the logrotate pid i get the following message
appearing 
over and over again..
> stat64("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2211, ...}) = 0

logrotate is running in a linux-vserver-guest
version: logrotate-3.7.1-5
kernel: 2.6.26-2-vserver-686 #1 SMP Wed Feb 10 10:39:33 UTC 2010 i686 
GNU/Linux

i can't really tell what time it has stopped working and what changed at
that 
moment, but it has been working for a while before.

thanks in advice

regards,
manuel hofer

I believe it used to be at goodbye-microsoft.com, where you could simply click
at icon and get EXE installer, but now this site offers gNewSense. I found
goodbye-windows.com, where you really can get Debian installer for Windows, but
there are little more clicking required there :)

Yes, I agree. In fact, if a mail client like TB or mutt can be used,
there is nothing to beat that. However, FireGPG was excellent for people
who use popular web mail services. They had nothing special to do other
than to set up their GPG stuff and install the addon and they were good
to go without having to change the way they read/composed emails.

If you can't avoid the Windows tax, and get Windows on it,m you might 
want to start from there (I did this with my Asus 1000HE).  There's a 
Windows program called something like Goodbye Windows, or ByeBye Windows

No, it isn't.  While avaliability relates to a quantitative concept (how much 
time, out of the total, will this system be online?), backup relates to a 
qualitative concept (it either works, in which case I don't need the backup 
at all, or it doesn't work in which case I need the backup, no excuses).

Rising avaliability means that you'll need your backups (say) once every ten 
years instead of once a year.  But when you need them, there's no option: you 
need them.

FYI, 3.2.1 has been released, and it's probably only a short wait until 
the official Debian packaging hits Squeeze.  (It's in Sid now.)  If 
anyone is running it already, a report might be welcome.  I assume it 
will be backported for Lenny soon enough.


Don't know if this is helpful, but I expect there are some reading this

I think your Gnome theme is a problem. Maybe your selected theme is not
compatible with new Gnome. Try to set another theme(s).

"Move from page to page" means following the links, or are you talking about
switching between tabs? (Just want little more information for those who may
know about solution, I don't know any for first nor second one).

And yes, I think you should look for Ubuntu list. I believe ubuntu-users[1]
is a way to go.

Alexander,
I'm sorry, you're right about it being Ubuntu.  I thought the friend who gave 
me 9.10 said Ubuntu was a version of Debian.  I'm still so new to using Linux 
that I didn't pay enough attention, and never looked into what iterations of 
Linux are out there.
Any ideas on this though, if you know something about Ubuntu?  Or, should I 
find an Ubuntu list?

Thanks,

Er... What are you talking about? Version of *what*? Last stable Debian is 5,
and last stable Ubuntu (it's Debian mailing list, but sometimes we're talking
about Ubuntu as well) is 10.04...

Did you read manual I mentioned before?

Anyone can write to debian-user, but only subsribers can receive mails sent to
list by others. So when others replied to your post, subscribers received that
answers, but you didn't. Somebody CC'ed you (sent you a copy) when replying -
that way you get some responses. Now you're subscribed and get all the answers

You also will get all the mails sent to other threads in this list, too (I do
not know are you familiar enough with mailing lists to know that, so I think I
should mention it so you won't be confused when your mailbox be flooded by
dozens of mails per day).

If you didn't receive some replies, don't worry - there are online archive of
all the mails sent to list. You can find it here[1] - scoll down to Archives,
choose month and year and go reading!

Good luck with Debian!

The dvd installer includes Gnome in the installation unless you tell it not
too, maybe your installation didn't work correctly?  Have you md5
checksummed your dvd download?

On which hardware do you try to install it? I don't know how to get wifi to
work on installation if it's not working out of box, so I'm simply curious.

> 2nd, tried the big DVD image (debian-504-i386-DVD-1.iso).
Good idea, as far as you don't have Internet connection on installation time.

> Tried to run GUI, no go.
You mean graphic installer? If it doesn't work, try text mode - I assure you,
it isn't hard!

> Tried to install Gnome & got E: coundn't find package Gnome.
How did you try to install Gnome? Did you check "Install Desktop Environment"
in tasksel (this menu which appears on installation time)? Or did you installed
basic system (with no DE or WM, without xorg at all) and then try to run
aptitude install gnome? Please provide more information.

> That's where I'm at so far.
Btw, you don't need to start new thread each time you response. Keep whole
discussion in one thread, please - it's easier to follow (or not-follow)
and manage/search, then.

I read the link but I need to read it again after looking up some
references in it to better understand it. However, I have one doubt that
needs to be clarified. As I described earlier, I have three separate
networks on my LAN:
wired network (192.168.0.0/24)
wireless network (192.168.5.0/24)
VPN (172.16.15.0/24)

When I start samba on the firewall machine "ROUTER" , I see the
following in its log:
  *
  Samba name server ROUTER is now a local master browser for workgroup
ROUTERSMB on subnet 192.168.0.1
  *

  *
  Samba name server ROUTER is now a local master browser for workgroup
ROUTERSMB on subnet 192.168.5.1

  *


This leads me to two questions. If I can browse the share from both of
these networks, why can't I do so from VPN? And, on a related note, why
do only these two networks act as a local browser and why doesn't VPN
(172.16.15.0/24) also do so?

Have you already subscribed to the list?
You saw the answer to your second mail because somebody CC-ed
you. Check the archives. I have seen your three posts.

That's OK.

> I'm weak on terminal. 

That's NOT OK. Most of the solutions/advices you'd be getting here require
some coding (not very much, to start with) skills. 
You'll need to know (at a minimum) how to move inside the directory tree, copy 
and/or move files, and several other *very basic* things.
My advice, start getting familiar with documentation sources on your own system.
Investigate man pages, info, /usr/share/doc/, etc...

>I'm only getting terminal on Debian now. 
> I don't know what to do next. TIA.

Everybody here will be helpful _as long as_ you demonstrate effort on
your side. Otherwise, you most probably will be ignored.
First off, you must learn how to make intelligent questions, that
implies that at least you describe accurately: what are you trying to do, what
happens, etc...

Regards.

Debian on a Dell r310?

[Justin Sherrill]

I have a Dell R310 server; The Debian Lenny installer does not see the CDROM or 
the hard drives.  The "testing" image does see the CDROM, but not the hard 
drives, which are SAS drives connected through a SAS 6/iR.

I see mention of the SAS 6/iR as supported when searching, though I suspect 
it's the Dell thing of the same model name with slightly different chipsets.  
In any case,  I assume there's a way to find a up-to-date driver for it, and 
then build an install CD with that support.

Can someone point me at:

A: a driver release that might support this?  (I think it would be megaraid_sas)
B: a document that describes how to build a custom installer with this newer 
code?

I'm willing to get there myself - I just need a signpost.

Have you read the manual for whatever architecture you want to install?
Find it here for the Stable release
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual.

People on this list are very helpful if you show you've done research, tried
xyz but still can't get to work, etc.  From your post, it sounds like you
want some level of hand-holding which isn't likely to get a lot of helpful
responses until you've shown you've put in effort.  If you have tried
different things and are having trouble, that is important to share.  This
list is not paid to help, in case you didn't know that.

You may need to have 2 servers to do it (one replicating network map from
master). Read in samba howto:

A little success. I commented out the following option from smb.conf and
now I can connect to the share from a VPN client:
; interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 172.16.15.0/24 192.168.5.0/24


However, I can not only use "sudo smbmount ..." command to access the
samba share. The Network browser from Gnome still does not show the
share while a VPN client. The VPN client is a laptop running Ubuntu Karmic.

Sorry, I misinterpreted those log lines. They are from a couple of hours
old. For some reason, I am not getting any logs named after VPN client's
IP now but I am still getting a connection refused on the VPN client if
I try to smbmount the samba share.

I didn't have that in smb.conf file at all. I have included the
following lines in it and restarted samba:
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/24 172.16.15.0/24
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0

So no client from the wireless LAN (192.168.5.0/24) is allowed, and only
from the wired LAN and VPN are allowed.

I see a samba log file for the VPN client from which I am trying to
access the shared folder. Here are the last few lines(the log has lines
from earlier today as well which say similar stuff as below):
[2010/06/07 13:58:21,  1] smbd/service.c:1063(make_connection_snum)
  172.16.15.22 (172.16.15.22) connect to service SharedFolder initially
as user nobody (uid=65534, gid=65534) (pid 8948)
[2010/06/07 13:58:46,  1] smbd/service.c:1240(close_cnum)
  172.16.15.22 (172.16.15.22) closed connection to service SharedFolder


Does this give any further clues?

I blacklisted the nouveau driver, but left the 
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package installed.


There's simply something hokey about this monitor and Testing/Sid. All I 
get is a black screen when I boot into a console or exit from X to a 
console. However, if I type blindly and login and "startx", I get a 
usable screen on one monitor only (the second monitor stays dark).


So now I have two issues:

1) in console, this monitor stays black or only displays about a 1/4s 
worth of screen real estate


2) I no longer have dual-monitors.

I'd be happy to file a bug, but I don't know if this would be against 
the nouveau package (which as far as I can tell focuses on X drivers, 
not console drivers where the first problem is), or against the grub2 
package which seems to have something to do with setting the console 
resolution, or the kernel, or what.



I can live with rebuilding my box back to stable (at the cost of losing 
the ability to print to my printer), but if I don't file a bug report, 
how many other people will this problem bite?


Thanks for any suggestions!

You can't squash/fixup unless there is a previously pick-ed commit, yes.

If you want to "squash" you changes into the current head, you can use the "--
amend" option to Git's commit command.  However, you normally do not want to 
do that if that commit has already been published.

This isn't really a Git support group.  You may have better luck asking such 
questions on the Git mailing list.  No need to subscribe, since it allows 
posting from anyone and CC-ing the author is the norm for that list.

Crap! I was using Firegpg for mails to my friends and family whose
primary mail contact is yahoo or google and Firegpg provided a
clicky-click think with context menu to easily encrypt any portion of
text in mail text in a browser.

So that brings me with the OP for looking for alternatives.

Suggestions so far:

1. Install linux-image-2.6.-$arch.  You probably already have this installed; 
on Etch it is the 2.6.18 kernel plus some backported fixes.

2. Use Etch backports.  Note that using Etch backports at this point means you 
might not have a clear upgrade path to Lenny without also including Lenny 
backports.  Also, backports isn't (yet) an official part of the stable 
infrastructure.

3. Upgrade to Lenny.  It is (well past) time to consider this.  Security 
support for Etch has run out or will run out very soon.  Lenny has been 
"stable" for quite some time now; in fact a freeze for Squeeze is currently in 
the works.  Waiting for Squeeze to become stable doesn't save you any work, 
either -- a Etch -> Squeeze upgrade isn't supported; you'd have to do an 
intermediate upgrade to Lenny anyway.

My suggestion:

Install linux-image-2.6-$arch-etchnhalf.  During the lifetime of Etch, the 
release team admitted that 2.6.18 was simply not new enough even for Debian 
stable, at least for some users.  Because of this, they provided "Etch-and-a-
half" kernels that are 2.6.24, but did not bump linux-image-$arch, since that 
would have "forced" a kernel upgrade on users that were satisfied with 2.6.18.  
Upgrades from -etchnhalf kernels (to Lenny, which has 2.6.26 in linux-
image-2.6-$arch) are supported, but the -etchnhalf kernel may need to be 
manually uninstalled after the upgrade completes.

An -etchnhalf kernel is a temporary fix.  It is likely that your current Etch 
installs have known security vulnerabilities that will not be addressed by 
Debian.  You should upgrade to Lenny, ASAP.

Sorry, I don't think I understand. Could you explain a bit more what I
am looking for?

With a VPN connection established on the wireless machine as a client, I
can connect my samba share on the server through its LAN ip address
(192.168.0.1) but not by using VPN gateway address (172.16.15.1). The
latter try gives "connection refused" if I try to do it using "sudo
smbmount //172.16.15.1/share /path/to/mountpoint -o user=gues"

If you use LVM then every logical volume already has a name
(independently from the label you may have set or not on each file
system).
So just use that insted of a UUID.  I.e. use something like
/dev/mapper/-.

Samba share not accessible from a VPN client

[H.S.]

Consider a LAN with a Debian machine as a router. The Debian machine
has three interfaces, eth0, eth1 and wlan0. The interface for VPN is tun0.

Router, Samba and VPN server machine


Now, I have generated the certificates and keys for the VPN server
for various client.

>From my iptables firewall in the router machine, I allow traffic from my
LAN and WLAN to and from my VPN. This all works, I can browse the
internet by connecting via VPN from a laptop on WLAN.

However, how do I make sure all my traffic is going through the VPN
tunnel? On a client laptop on WLAN, I have the following information

This VPN client is on WLAN with address 192.168.5.15 and is also on VPN
(as a client, of course) with address 172.16.15.22. I am able to SSH
from a wired LAN machine to 172.16.15.22, but cannot to 192.168.5.15.
This is expected and correct behavior?


Now, the real question. I have setup Samba with a shared folder on the
VPN server. I have configured it to listen for connections from LAN
(192.168.0.0/24) and from VPN (172.16.15.0/24). Note that samba
connections from WLAN is not included here. I can browse the Samba
network from wireless machines fine. But I cannot do so from a wireless
machine with a VPN connection, i.e. VPN clients from my WLAN do not see
the Samba network (from Gnome Network browsing GUI). This is what I
wanted to achieve but it is not working. What am I missing here?

For reference, the relevant options in smb.conf are:
   workgroup = VPN_Server
   interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 172.16.15.0/24 192.168.0.0/24


Thanks.

Sorry about that, I just discovered there is a keyboard shortcut to
send an email in gmail.

To continue, I've got a custom script which requires that the
acpi_cpufreq module is loaded before it can start succesfully. I've
tried adding some headers in the script to say that it dependson
acpi_cpufreq, in the hope that insserv would magically re-order things
for me, but either my header info is wrong or else I did not call
insserv properly after making changes.

In /etc/rc2.d there is:
S01phc_vids  however it depends on
S02loadcpufreq also rc.local is not being called last, but
concurrently with several other scripts

What I want is S01phc_vids to be S03, and S04rc.local to be
S10rc.local so that it is the last thing launched. Of course, I need
this changed in run levels 2,3,4,5 as well.

I tried simply renaming them, but insserv just puts them all back to
how it likes after a short time. Here is the header of my custom init
script:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: phc_vids
#Required-Start: $loadcpufreq
#Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Applies custom vids values via patched acpi_cpufreq module
### END INIT INFO

So, how to change numbering so that it persists?

Thanks in advance for any tips / advice

git: Interactive rebase already started

[T o n g]

Hi,

What should I do if encountered the "Interactive rebase already started" 
situation?

I did:

  $ git checkout -b t/unmount
  Switched to a new branch 't/unmount'

  # hack grml-debootstrap

  $ git rebase -i origin/master
  Waiting for Emacs...
  Cannot 'squash' without a previous commit

But I did the commit. Otherwise, git would complain "Working tree is 
dirty" (ref, http://paste.grml.org/7/). Maybe it is because there is only 
a single commit there, and I should use pick instead of squash?

  $ git rebase -i origin/master
  Interactive rebase already started

I mean, how can I fix the problem? Now

git gui & 
git diff HEAD

show nothing has changed, and I've lost my commit comments.

Please help. 

Thanks

I use ssh to access the guests. This is not necessarily a limitation of 
Debian's package, but a limitation of the OSE version. You can get the 
proprietary version from upstream (free non-commercial use): 
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads . This includes remote

Yes, the security lines in my /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this.

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib  non-free

The deb-src line wrapped, it should all be on one line.

There is security support for testing (Squeeze) also, although most
fixes transition from unstable. The security team does upload security
fixes for testing if the need arises though.

Use the same info for sources.list but replace lenny with squeeze.

Yes, the mirrors contain oldstable (etch), stable (lenny), testing
(squeeze), and unstable (sid). One mirror should do for any of those.

Um, thanks; but I don't understand the reassignment of bug number 505609 to
package initramfs-tools.  If you read my previous posts to the bug log, it
is clear that this problem started with a change to the maintainer scripts
between Etch and Lenny.  Please read my posts again carefully.  Then consider
whether this is really a bug in initramfs-tools or a bug in the kernel 
maintainer
scripts.  initramfs-tools only gets involved when

   update-initramfs -u

is issued.  And it *does* invoke the boot loader under these conditions, if
"do_bootloader = yes" is present in /etc/kernel-img.conf and lilo is installed.
But for a kernel install or reconfigure, it is the responsibility of the
kernel maintainer scripts to invoke the bootloader.  See also, for example,
linux-image-2.6.26-2-s390.postinst, where zipl is assigned as the bootloader
on line 38.  This really is an "open and shut case", if only I can the kernel
people to actually look at it!  Please look at it!

AVD for Android's SDK gives NullPointerException: because of no recognized XML Schema validation tool?

[Merciadri Luca]

Hi,

I am trying to install some AVD relative to my Android's SDK (still
under Debian Lenny). Well, updating info from the SDK source gives me

==
XML verification failed for
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml.
Error: java.lang.NullPointerException
==
It appears that I am needing a `XML Schema validation tool.' Or libxml2
and libxml2-utils are already installed here. I think that xmllint is a
`XML Schema validation tool,' and, as xmllint is in libxml2-utils and
libxml2, it should also be here. This is the case, as launching xmllint
from the CLI gives me some normal output.

So, why am I getting this XML verification error? Thanks.

Check if that gives you any hint:

Also, some encrypted DVD prevent copying the files in the standard 
manner. IIRC, for dealing with such media I had to first make an 
ISO image with the DVD files and then mount the ISO image to access its 
content... but that was long time ago (1/2 years), not sure if this will 
work nowadays.

Well I don't know.  it depends on the Xorg version you have.  Some
time back autodetection was using hal for that purpose.  Newer Xorg
uses udev.  If the Xorg you're using relies on hal, you need it (I
presume you can try uninstalling, then if it's not a dependency things
will still work, and if it it, you'll have to reinstall it, perhaps
even xorg-server will uninstall if hal is a dependency)...

If you use the flags, then Xorg won't use hal neither any other kind
of autodetection mechanism, just whatever is in xorg.conf...  So
whether hal is installed and daemon started or not, is of no concern
for Xorg while using the flags.

>> Section "ServerFlags"
>> Option  "AutoAddDevices""False"
>> Option  "AllowEmptyInput"   "False"
>> EndSection

That's just a way to prevent autodetection to get in your way if you
don't want it, :-)

Some clarification is needed on Debian repos.

[Sthu Deus]

Good day.

Could You please explain, should some security testing repo be
specified for a stable + testing Debian, or stable, updates and testing
repos is all that should be enabled for the stable, testing with all
*for the repos* security fixes?

In other words, is there a security repo for testing as there is a
security repo for stable?

Also, does security team works with volatile repo and therefore can be
used for stable only system?

And one more question: If a choose a mirror from the list on Debian web
site, should there be all the repos of the distro (like stable,
testing, etc) - so that I can use the only mirror for all my needs (any
repos) OR I have to use several mirrors for diver repos (like stable
from one mirror, testing from another, stable updates from third, etc)?

Thank You for Your time.

In fact, it seems there are dedicated tools for defragging many of the

Well !
ABSDoug has migrated from the Ubuntu groups to Debian.
If he follows the same course on here then expect endless questions and very 
little attempt to help himself.

Most Linux users make some attempt to search for information about any problems 
they experience.
Others just throw out a stream of questions without any noticeable attempt to 
find information first.

Expecting everyone to sort out something you can't be bothered to do for 
yourself is not the Linux way.

Perhaps I can offer a solution here.  Since William obviously doesn't wish
to maintain this package any longer, I am willing to take over his
responsibilities as a Debian package maintainer for lilo under two
conditions:  (1) The kernel team fixes bug number 505609, and (2) Debian
ceases its attempts to remove lilo from the distribution.  What do you
say, William?  Do you have any objections?  Does anyone else have any
objections?  If so, speak now, or forever hold your peace.

Keep in mind that I have never been a Debian package maintainer before.
This will be my first package.  Please be patient with me as I "learn the
ropes", so to speak.

As for whether or not lilo continues to be offered as an alternate boot
loader by the Debian installer, that is entirely up to them.  I would
think that the path of least resistance would be to maintain the status
quo, but if they want to remove lilo from the Debian installer menu
that's their call, as far as I am concerned.  I just don't want to see
lilo removed from the distribution.

According to this:
https://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/docs/ds_prim-rx300_s4.pdf

Fujitsu uses the LSI MegaRAID series controllers, all of which are supported
by the standard Linux kernel either by megaraid.c or megaraid_sas.c.

The Broadcom BCM5708 GigE chip is supported by the standard Linux kernel.

IPMI, I2C, etc are supported by Linux, and Debian.  Some of these will
probably require manual setup/configuration--it won't be done automatically
during Debian install.

If _you_ know Debian, and Linux in general, you shouldn't have a problem
running it on this server.  It appears all the subsystem components are
industry standard fare supported by Linux.  Again, you may have to
install/configure some of the user space tools manually.

Thank you very much Javier,

We don't need virtualization in the server, I suppose it's the same and 
everything works ok.

Do you have a RAID controller in the system?

Thank you.

Yes, you searched wrongfully. When you want to figure out to which package file
belongs to, you should use apt-file:

apt-file search Mplib.pm

You can also assume that there are package named by file it containing, and run
the following command:

aptitude search mplib

And of course you can use web interface[1] (which have some pros - for example,
you can search for file in different version of Debian, as I did - I'm running
Squeeze but I searched in Lenny via web).

According to CPAN[2], MP3-Mplib is pretty old and unsupported (last updated 06
Mar 2004), so it probably wasn't been packed for Debian at all. You can look for
alternatives, or go and try to install it directly from CPAN.

I am not missing any point. If you have grub-pc 1.98 installed without
grub-common 1.98 installed, grub2/grub-pc is broken, hence the error
when running "dpkg...". If you are worried about breaking grub1 after
installing grub2, you should know that, when you install grub2, you'll
be asked whether you want to chainload grub2 from grub1 or install
grub2 to the mbr. That doesn't guarantee that grub1'll not be broken,
but it's better than overwriting grub1's stage 1 loader immediately.

Server support

[Adrián Ribao Martínez]

Hello,

We are about to buy a Fujitsu server:

* Fujitsu Primergy RX300

and I'd like to know if someone has experience with it. I'm afraid that The 
server is not supported by debian. They don't list debian in the supported OS 
and there are no drivers for this server.

Thank you for your help,

Adrian

These comments are flavored with personal negative feelings and a personal
agenda that have no place in a free software project.  If your
hatred/angst/jealousy/whatever against or relating to LILO are this strong,
you need to completely step aside, allowing others to do positive work
_without_ your negative influence shadowing such.  Your feelings, whatever
they are, whether they are "justified" or not, should not be allowed to
negatively impact a package's development moving forward.

It appears you are now jaded WRT LILO.  That means it's definitely time to
walk away.

No! Please don't.

I believe apt-offline will do what you want:

http://osdir.com/ml/debian-user-debian/2010-03/msg01469.html

If the "second pc" has no internet connection, then apt-offline will be
of help cause you won't have to download the full cd/dvd. And since
Squeeze is a moving target then you can keep it up to date with
apt-offline.

The "second pc" will need a *basic* Lenny install to start with -- maybe
the businesscard image will do?

P.S. I use apt-offline on a friends laptop which has no net connection
and it works well.

"client-error-not-authorized" has more sense to me.

Review the full Cups log (/var/log/cups/error.log). If still nothing 
interesting there, increase log verbosity ("LogLevel warning") and 
restart cups service.

Also, test with another generic "dot matrix" driver.

Yes, I have... The very same log error I see.

Could You please explain what does this mean:

IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Send-Document

what offers the the document format?

Is this correct permissions:

And a RAID will destroy data on all disks if asked to...
In 11 years administering backups, the most common use case for
