Thank Alexander Batischev!
I add the line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Now it works!

I think SA is ready for that.

Check "/etc/default/spamassassin" file, there is a variable ("CRON=0") 
that you can modify to get a cron job task for SA rules auto-updating.

Re: "Stable" vs "Unstable" & "Testing"

[Johan Grönqvist]

This was the 1st time I had heard of "stab le"&  "unstable", I only
knew there was "testing", which I wanted to avoid. Sounded very
reasonable, with a name like "stable"&  finding out Debian is the
SOURCE for other distros, I'm thinking stable is what you'd use if
you don't want to be a "Guinea pig".


A few remarks:

1) Stable in debian means unchanging, and in case you want that kind of 
stable, you may as well use the more recent ubuntu 9.10, which seems to 
work for you, still has quite a while of support, and should be 
unchanging enough for your purposes. Debian stable is good for servers 
where one does not want new versions of software that may break the system.


2) For stable as in "not breaking", the reason I use debian testing is 
that I find it less prone to breaking than following the 6-month upgrade 
cycle of ubuntu.


3) In the choice between debian testing or unstable for a netbook, you 
will find people recommending both choices, and I think it will be hard 
for you to form your own opinion this early in the learning process.




 now I'm wondering if I'm going to go with
unstable "Squeeze", what does that offer over Ubuntu 9.10 (Remix).
9.10 (unlike 10.04) works well on my Acer Aspire One.


The usual reasonable comment I think more experienced people than me 
would often give is:


What do you miss in ubuntu 9.10 (remix) that you want your new system to 
provide? If it works well for you, you may continue to use it and be 
happy with that.




Debian testing would offer more recent applications in some areas, and a 
more recent kernel, which may provide better hardware support, but as 
you have experienced with ubuntu 10.04, that is not always the case.


Ubuntu 9.10 has security support until 11.04 (I think). It is also more 
recent than debian stable, so it should offer more recent applications 
and (on average) be able to support more recent hardware.


I would not expect debian stable from february 09 to improve on your 
(seemingly) good netbook-experience with an ubuntu from october 09 
unless you have some specific problems with ubuntu 9.10, or have some 
specific reason to wish to use debian.


In case there is something missing for you in ubuntu, you may very well 
ask if debian can provide that, but a question like "what does debian 
stable/testing/unstable offer over ubuntu 9.10 for a netbook" is very 
hard to answer without knowing what your needs and/or problems are.



From what I have seen so far, I would recommend ubuntu 9.10 for your 
netbook, followed by debian testing or unstable.


Regards

Johan

spamassassin: rules set manually updating.

[Sthu Deus]

Good day.

I wonder if it is possible to auto/manually update spamassassin rules
without having it running in daemon mode - say, being run by cron only
update script.

I do not need it running in daemon mode as it works well even this way
- on one hand, and if running in daemon - i may have security risks -
  on the other hand.

Thank You for Your time.

Thanks for the suggestion. I restarted gnome with metacity as my wm, and 
see the same symptoms.


I believe the error happens earlier in the process for me, because when 
the computer stops working at thawing, I can press ctrl-alt-F1, and get 
to a screen showing me what a normal boot does before switching to 
framebuffer mode, I thus believe that the problem occurs before any 
graphics system has managed to start, just before or at the "handover" 
between the kernels.

You could start by pointing a browser at http://www.debian.org and
following the "available versions of Debian" link in the "Getting

When adding packages, your system needs to know where to look. To find
out, it looks at the list in /etc/apt/sources.list. Take a look at
that. You'll probably see that the first item(s) in the list refer to
the install disk.  So, until you get internet connection, you're gonna
need to use some other means . . . like the install disk to get
packages.

Once you get connected, DO SOME HOMEWORK and figure out how to edit
that file so that the system does not want to look at the install disk
all of the time, but rather "looks out" at the web.

Finally made it over to the router, in my roommate's room. After trying above & 
trying Synaptic... oy... system asks for the install disk... out comes the 
external drive, in goes the disk... but the system keeps asking for the disk 
even though I've got the disk in the external drive. This being a netbook, 
there is no internal drive.

Connectivity issue - tcpdump reports ping a success, ping itself does not.

[TS Lura]

Hi,

I am having some connectivity issues. The arp table is not populated even if
the arp request are successfully transferred on the wire. Which leads to
unsuccessfully ping. When I add a arp entry manually, tcpdump shows replies
but not ping itself.

I have had this problems before only that was after I uploaded data using
ssh or ssl. Then I got the same weird results. I lost connectivity on the
application level, but tcpdump showed that the packets went through(ping
packets got reply in tcpdump but not in ping, www would only load some kb
with data before it stopped transmitting.) So I hope this is a known issue.


All help is much appreciated.

Then it could be a bug on K9mail... it seems they are still implementing 
some features and functions for using GPG within the e-mail client:

gpg integration
http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=13

I'm reluctant to think that application cannot send plain text e-mails. 
Look at Relase Notes:

***
K-9 2.600
http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/wiki/ReleaseNotes
(...)
- Don't send simple text mails as multipart messages -cketti 
***

That statement seems to indicate that actually can send plain text 
messages but they are not being encoded with "Content-Type: text/plain".

just .02 here, I personally find irc to be particularly helpful for
"bouncing ideas" when programming. It seems to have that right mix,
for me at least, of immediate help and variety of ideas without mental
gear-switching of reading API docs. 

heh, to put that in English... I find that the interactive component
of irc is more in line with how my brain functions when coding than
the longer lag times of email. But that is, of course, a personal preference.

I don't know what, if any C/C++ irc channels there are, but I'm sure
they're out there.

If you want to append additional parameters to the kernel command line,
configure it via GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT or GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in
/etc/default/grub.

If you want to add further entries to the grub boot menu, that can be
handled by a script in /etc/grub.d/ (see the README in that directory).

try removing the xorg.conf (or backup it somehwere) and restart X (see what
happens)
this is because recent xorg has changed a lot

if it does not help see what happens when you disable the desktop effects

an option would be to try also with the xorg's nvidia driver

You're not alone feeling this way starting out on Debian.  Don't give up yet
- is wireless the only thing not working?  If so, what is the output of
lspci -nn  (go to Applications ->Accessories -> Terminal, type "su", enter

Agreed. For your netbook Squeeze is the best route. If it makes you
feel better though, aside from the fact that Squeeze will be stable in
the next 6 months or so (crosses fingers), your old Ubuntu friend is a
snapshot of Unstable with some patches and bugfixes.

In my opinion, there's no need to do so. Squeeze is close to freeze, soon it
will became stable. You better run it. Personally I run it on my EeePC and have
(almost) no problems. Advantage of running testing is newer drivers. Also you
would not need backports.

Sorry. To be more clear, I get wireless connection in Ubuntu 9.10 & XP, but in 
Debian, no signal, not mine, not the neighbors.

My reason for coming over to Debian was the latest Ubuntu 10.04. When I run 
torrents, after a short time I lose connection. Doesn't happen in XP or 9.10. 
After I tried & failed to get a solution, I started wondering out loud how it 
was possible Ubuntu *Netbook* addition wasn't working on my netbook. That was 
when the discussion of Debian stable came up.

Or does it? It works in 9.10, but not 10.04.

It seems like I'm in over my head. Sounds like I'd need to take a collage

But of course CIFS is routable, why it shouldn't?

Maybe you misunderstood it with NetBEUI.

What language?


Oh, the usual suspects, particularly C/C++.



In any case, sometimes there really isn't a good place to bounce questions off
of other users of your language. :(  A lot of time, it the read the docs,
guess, and test.

Debian-related stuff could go here, I suppose, but not a large percentage of
users here can also program.  If it deals with "Debian internals" (e.g. dpkg,
update-$foo, apt, etc.), then debian-devel might be able to help.



Thanks.  I have a project to implement a small interpeted language (only 
console I/O).  My implementation language is C++.  At first, it won't 
"be Debian-involved"; that will come in pretty far down the road.  I 
knew C++ to 98.6% fifteen years ago, but I'm rusty now.


(The language is internal use only at this point.  Not a language with a 
previous implementation, or I would start there.  I may GPL it at some 
future point if it ever sees the light of day.  Not a list-oriented 
project, or I would use guile as a model.)


Thanks again,

MAA

Keeping the home partition intact is a helpful capability.  
Thanks, but see following.

The monitor complaining about the undefined video mode

now has a working monitor.  One problem solved.

X still failed with these being the last lines to the screen.
waiting for X server to shut down ...error setting MTRR (base = 0xf800, size

While blundering yesterday evening I realized that X 
works for root!  Made a new test account and X works 
there also.  

I began removing ~/.* files and retrying startx.  The 
last two removed were .Xauthority and .xinitrc. 
X then worked.  X was broken before .xinitrc was added 
and .xinitrc now contained only comments.  So .Xauthority 
appears to have disabled X.  

As I understand, hidden configuration files were invented 
in the days of teletype machines to make the output of 
ls tolerable.  Now there are hidden directories  with 
dozens of hidden files in total.  I can't help but wonder 
about the wisdom.  A hidden file disabling X with no

At least for the older AAO models like the 110 I'd recommend to use the
2.6.32 kernel from backports.org. The ath5k driver is much more stable
for me. Beside that you'll need the acpid from backports.org aswell.

Please file a bug against binutils-gold if one doesn't already exist for that

If your squid cache size is always smaller than the RAM available to the squid 
process(es), then I wouldn't worry about it.

However, squid is capable of caching much more data than fits into RAM.  In 
that case, you'll want to tweak squid's memory settings so that it 
appropriately chooses what objects to cache on disk.

I have to admit that, being Android a Google sponsored operating system,

THe message seems to be sent in HTML, actually. But that looks like an

Now wireless does’nt seem to work out of the box so you need to:

Make sure that non-free and contrib are selected in the package list.

Open a terminal and type the following:

#su
#(Your root password)

# apt-get update
# apt-get install build-essential module-assistant madwifi-source
# m-a prepare
# m-a auto-install madwifi

WIRELESS LED:

To get your awesome wireless led to blink for you based on traffic, put 
these lines in /etc/rc.local, just above the string exit 0 (below 
doesn’t work).


#su
#(your root password)

now choose your editor of choice, i prefer gedit so I type the following

#gedit /etc/rc.local

Now add the following two lines above (exit 0)

sysctl -w dev.wifi0.ledpin=3 (For it to be a constant light change 
it to “-3")

sysctl -w dev.wifi0.softled=1

Now for the wifi kill switch uses these keycodes (also to use in rc.local):

/usr/bin/setkeycodes e055 159
/usr/bin/setkeycodes e056 158

It seems that several users (from different distributions) were facing 
that behaviour:

***
Xorg 100% CPU usage after upgrade

Verify that you have the latest "xorg" packages available.

Oh I forgot
You had done several installs of the latest Ubuntu and your problem was... 
torrents wasn't working. Apart from that your Ubuntu installation was working 
but - you must have torrents !

Now it appears that you have even lost the knack of installing as well as still 
not discovering how to try and help yourself.

Do what you did on the Ubuntu group ask endless questions and don't follow 
up on any advice.

Got to the stage where a number of guys accused you of being a "troll".

Last I saw you were going to abandon Ubuntu (or Linux can't remember which), 
you are supposed to have quite a bit of experience of sorting out M$ Windows. 
You were going to file a bug report. Should I file a bug report. Will it help 
anyone if I file one? How do I file a bug report etc,etc,etc.

Google has some hits on that message. Are you sending the e-mails

GRUB2 - automatically generating extra entries

[Jason Heeris]

I use runlevel 3 for non-X boots (gdm, etc is disabled), and to boot
into it I append "3" to my "normal use" entry in the GRUB2 menu. I'd
like to just automatically generate the extra line, so that even after
a kernel upgrade it'll still be there (but obviously for the new
kernel).

There was a way to do this in legacy GRUB, but it's been so long I
can't remember what it was (I think there was an automagic kernel
entry generation section in menu.lst?).

Is there an easy way to do this with GRUB2? I know my way around the
GRUB2 config scripts and defaults file to some extent, but I'm no
expert.

Cheers,
Jason Heeris

I investigated more. Actually, for some reason, I had binutils-gold installed.
Removing it to use standard binutils fixes the problem.

  I'm going to guess hardware problem.  Code looks valid, code works

  Run "memtest" on your machine and see if that throws out any errors?

`No valid armored OpenPGP data block found'

[Merciadri Luca]

Hi,

I am using AVG on my Android device to sign messages using my private
key. The problem is that, if I send an e-mail to myself, and that I read
it on my station computer (w. Debian Lenny), Thunderbird (with enigmail)
tells me `No valid armored OpenPGP data block found.' Would that mean
that AVG is not part of OpenPGP? What can I do? Thanks.

Xorg eats lot of CPU after upgrade to KDE 4.4

Hello,
after upgrading KDE to 4.4, xorg process takes 50 - 90% of CPU and
makes desktop really slow.
I didn't find anything relevant, so if you can take a look at these
outputs and give me some solution, I'll be very grateful.

You don't need the deb-src line, unless you are going to do any
compiling, and even then it would probably be unlikely that you'd be
needing any sources from security.debian.org.

segfault in strlen

[arno]

hi, I experience a segfault when using  strlen. First time it happened was
when doing:
strlen(argv[0]), but it also happens when doing strlen(stdup(argv[0])) and in
some other configurations. When a string triggers a segfault, I can printf it
correctly, what's more: I can also traverse the string and detect final '\0' at
its correct place (so, what's wrong with strlen?).

see demo crash below. I'm using libc6 and libc6-dev
versions 2.11.1-2 from unstable, and gcc 4.4.4-4 (also from unstable). Here is
a small code that triggers the segfault with some comments explaining the
issue. All I get in gdb is that segfault happens in strlen, even after
installing libc6-dbg. How can I debug this issue more ?
thanks


// compile with gcc -o test test.c
#include 
#include 


int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
const char *path = argv[0];
// all those path definitions will result in a crash in strlen
//const char* path = "path\0";
//const char* path = "path";
//const char* path = strdup(argv[0]);

// prints command name correctly
printf("command is: %s\n", path);

int i = 0;
for (i = 0; i < 1020; i++) {
if (path[i] == '\0') {
break;
}
}
// XXX: prints correct string length
printf("computed length: %d\n", i);

// crashes:
// (gdb) where
// #0  0x00401a00 in strlen ()
// #1  0x004005dc in main ()
printf("command length: %d\n", strlen(path));
return 0;

Are you sure that you clicked on the link??  It's obvious what you are reading 
there.

Search the list archives.  There was a thread on this in February which shows 
what I did (via some helpful advice from this list) to get wireless going on 
my Acer Aspire One.

You have received a lot of advice to do some searching/research on this 
problem, but you do not appear to have done any.  Nor do you appear to have 
read all the replies that you have already received.
