Modem Serie no responde

2010-12-05 Thread cosme


Hola

Tengo un servidor con Debian lenny el mismo tiene un solo COM1 para conectar 
el modem que tenía puesto pero el mismo se rompió, por aqui se daba servicio 
a los usuarios remotos.


Recientemente  se compraron unos modem serie y una tarjeta LAVA pci que 
teniene dos series más. Según el CD que trae esta tarjeta no tiene drivers 
para Linux pero la puse en un PCI o sea que ya podía habilitar tres modem 
serie, pero resulta que ahora niguno de los 3 responde, o sea cuando el 
usuario marca para conectarse el modem hace como que va a responder y 
seguidamente se cae.


Despues le quité la tarjeta y probe con el COM1 solo y nada hace lo mismo.

Cual puede ser el problema
Por qué el modem hace como que va a responder y se cae??

Cosme

Hace mucho tiempo que no trabajo con ese tivo de dispositivos, pero por 
lo que recuerdo de esa época, siempre había problemas con los IRQ's del 
sistema ya que cada puerto serial tiene asignado un IRQ que debe estar 
libre al momento de ser usado.


Trata de ver cuales IRQ's están intentando usar y si no hay conflictos 
(En el bios se puede ver algo)


También puedes usar

dmesg | grep irq

para ver cuales se usan al momento de iniciar.

Espero haberte servido de ayuda.

Não.  Mas deve ser falta de rotamento no seu POP.  Provavelmente eles não

Problema com identificação de portas seriais

2010-12-05 Thread Fabiano Kist

Boa noite,

Estou com problemas na identificação das portas seriais.
Meu problema é o seguinte:
Tenho um conversor usb-serail que cria  /dev/ttyUSB0. Também tenho um modem
3g que cria outras duas portas seriais e toda a vez que
reinicio a máquina não sei quem é quem...

No debiann lenny fazia o seguinte:

em /udev/rules.d/40-usb.rules criava uma entrada.

ACTION==add, BUS==usb, SYSFS{idVendor}==10c4,
SYSFS{idProduct}==ea60, KERNELS==1-1, NAME=ttyUSB4

Assim podia nomear a  serial da maneira que eu queria.
Só que agora no squeeze isso não está mais funcionando.

Alguém teria uma idéia de como fixar os nomes das portas seriais?

At,

Hi Bob,

first of all thank you for your attention.

Bob Proulx wrote:
 It sounds like your BIOS is not supporting legacy usb devices.  Boot
 to your BIOS setup page and look for an option that says something
 like Enable Legacy USB Devices.  

My BIOS was dated from this year and it had no option about Legacy USB 
Devices - only Legacy Storage Devices, which had been enabled already.


  In which case an update to the BIOS may be needed.

I was pretty faithless about your hint. But ...
... I went to hell for that fu...nny BIOS update (without any M$-System and 
without floppy - no way :( 
I had to dig for my old floppy drive) and after update, I could not see any 
visual difference ...

... but - it works :)

So thanks a lot for your hint!

for that.

though, i don't think i'll forget this one again any time soon :)

depending on
x libraries, but i decided it really doesn't matter - why do i need x
libraries to run an ssh server?

You certainly don't need X to have a ssh server. I only looked at it
it briefly, but I'm guessing it tried to install the package xauth,
which is a recommends of openssh-server.

The new default for aptitude is to say yes to recommends. There is a
way to configure your machine so that it says no by default to
recommends. That has been discussed recently on this list.

i've spent two hours googling (and even bing) on how to keep x windows
off
of debian. i've found tons of stuff about x windows problems which is
ironic
since my problem is keeping a minimalistic system which doesn't include
x. i
know one of the options gentoo's ports offers is not installing x (or
used
to offer).

I can see that you would have trouble find that information in a web
search. I think that getting a system with X should be as simple as
not allowing it to be installed. I think the problem you are running
into is that the package system is pulling in recommends
automatically.

i've found some options in dpkg, but nothing in apt-get. i don't see
anyway
to pass dpkg's --ignore-depends with apt-get. i'm thinking i'm looking
for
something in /etc/apt/apt.conf or apt-config but i can't come up with
anything.

You can ignore a recommends at the time of installing by doing:

aptitude install openssh-server -R

I don't use apt-get, but when I search inside the man page...

man apt-get

...I see the option --no-install-recommends. So that would translate
into:

apt-get install openssh-server --no-install-recommends

If you want to set an option so that aptitude says no by default
to recommends, you can try this tutorial:

http://linux.koolsolutions.com/2009/01/07/howto-tell-apt-get-not-to-install-recommends-packages-in-debian-linux/

since i prefer apt-get;
after messing around with this stuff for a while;
apt-get() {if [[ $1 == install ]]; then command apt-get $@
--no-install-recommends ; else command apt-get $@; fi; }

i decided to look at apt.conf and between google and
/usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz i came up with this:
# cat apt.conf
APT::Install-Recommends 0;
APT::Install-Suggests 0;

which could probably be written better as:
APT {
Install-Recommends False;
Install-Suggests False;
};

thanks again for the help

is it possible to have a functioning debian install without x windows? if
so, why isn't this documented maybe in the debian faq or something?

Yes, many computers do not use X, especially server computers.

I think one reason it is not documented is because many people setting
up CLI-only computers, or server computers, are already experienced
with wrangling their package management software.

Hope this helps,

Phil

but when I reboot, and chose the Mandriva  menu , it doesn't work ,
something was wrong , the error message just like this:

I check the UUID, the /dev/sda11's uuid is ok(at

The config of mandriva (done by the upate-grub) is(the whole grub.cfg is at

It works .

However ,I was wondering what's wrong with the auto-probe configuration of
grub2 (the part of mandriva)

I've worked with Vsftpd in the past and found it very easy to setup and 
manage (only one config file) but people tend to prefer ProFTPD for multi-
host sites (maybe is more complete or has more features, I dunno :-?).

If you need a GUI for user handling, webmin could be an option, as it 
provides modules for proftpd (and vsftp, IIRC) as well as other FTP 
servers.

P.S. There was a recently exploit in ProFTPD package, if you are thinking 
in installing, just ensure you get an unaffected package.

But this is a Debian list, how can we know? :-)

Well... let's see. Google says CentOS 5 does not have a gdm.conf file, 
instead it is placed under /etc/gdm/custom.conf so you'll have to edit 
that file.

Exim 4 appends CR to subject line

2010-12-05 Thread Joel Roth

Hi all,

The subject line says it all.

I think having ^M show up in my mutt display looks
dorky, and would like to configure my way out of this,
if possible.

Any ideas where to poke around?

Joel

http://grub.enbug.org/Manual#head-8c3cc7244059dce39943dc36512ce15cd9a55519

I also think Grub goes nuts with the USB attached disk and messes the 
root device so it cannot boot properly.

You can confirm this point by falling into editing mode (e) and play 
with the current root (hd0,2) line to fit the current setup (i.e., 
change hd0 with hd1 and see if you can boot normally).

This should not happen, though, and if you confirm the error, it should 
be reported.

 I've worked with Vsftpd in the past and found it very easy to setup

 for multi- host sites (maybe is more complete or has more features, I
 dunno :-?). 

 If you need a GUI for user handling, webmin could be an option, as it 
 provides modules for proftpd (and vsftp, IIRC) as well as other
 FTP servers.

On Debian GNU/Linux Lenny and on Squeeze the command:
aptitude search webmin give to me no results.

One can download webmin debian package from here:
http://www.webmin.com/deb.html

Why isn't it in the Debian repository?

Is it safe to install it from there?

I have tried gforge-ftp-proftpd; I have installed it on my server box
but then I don't know how to use it?

 P.S. There was a recently exploit in ProFTPD package, if you are
 thinking in installing, just ensure you get an unaffected package.

I have installed it on Lenny with command:
'sudo aptitude install proftpd' so I think it is unaffected because I
trust to Debian maintainers that Debian is the most secure operating

Yes, it is a gui front-end for manage users on proftpd server but it's

Debian 5 installation

2010-12-05 Thread Harry Scott

I wanted help to install a nvidia legacy graphics driver for TNT 2  AGP
so I thought to contact the user lists for guidance. This was not
possible because:
1 When I tried to use evolution after asking permission (used windows
mail to confirm) I couldn't move its window up to click on forward. The
default vga video setting making the window too large.
2 I thought, having read the installation instructions, Lenny would note
that a nvidia driver was needed. Looking at the xorg.conf file it
obviously couldn't. Configured device was all it said.
3 I read the Debian wiki after downloading appropriate driver from
Nvidia. And downloaded nvidia-xconfig the missing piece of the puzzle.
I think your help on the installation is ego-centric. Is it possible to
get easier assistance?

I installed nvidia proprietary drivers by following Debian wiki steps:

Just ensure you install the nvidia driver suitable for your card.

OTOH, I did not install nvidia-xconfig package, just edited my /etc/

open one:

 in the initrd line, it avoid using the (hd0,msdosx) to refer to the

 and why does the auto-probe  fail ?

You don't need (hd0...)/ on the initrd line because the set
root... line sets the location of /boot.

So it looks like you've stumbled onto a bug. grub-mkconfig is adding
(hd0...)/ to the Mandriva initrd line and picking the wrong
(hd0...). linux-boot-prober's doing something strange when it probes
the Mandriva partition...

update manager wants admin password

All of a sudden I am getting the following message when I click on the 
update manager icon ---


| enter password for keyring 'default' to unlock
| the application 'gksu' (/usr/bin/gksu) wants access to the keyring 
'default' but it is locked


I can do two actions -- enter the admin password and click OK or click deny

If I click deny I get a popup that say enter the administrator password 
and the statement


the application 'update manager' lets you modify essential parts of 
your system.

Remember Password is checked.
Save in keyring is checked.

Did I get 'hit' by some keystroke/phishing malware?  Is this some new 
security that has been implemented?
I'm running Debian Lenny and this is something that has recently 
occurred. Before I enter my password to
do the updates I want to be sure its not someone thats hacked into my 
system.

'man-db -- on-line manual pager.
I have to assume that it is a legitimate request for my admin password

occasionally run applications that access the libhamlib utilities but I

 yes , and I notice that the config of openSUSE in grub.cfg is

 menuentry Desktop -- openSUSE 11.3 - 2.6.34.7-0.5 (on /dev/sda12) {
       insmod part_msdos

        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop
  }

 in the initrd line, it avoid using the (hd0,msdosx) to refer to the
 position of initrd. So it works .

 and why does the auto-probe  fail ?

 You don't need (hd0...)/ on the initrd line because the set
 root... line sets the location of /boot.

 So it looks like you've stumbled onto a bug. grub-mkconfig is adding
 (hd0...)/ to the Mandriva initrd line and picking the wrong
 (hd0...). linux-boot-prober's doing something strange when it probes
 the Mandriva partition...


so it maybe a bug , thanks ~~

Modem Serien no responde

2010-12-05 Thread cosme


Hola

Tengo un servidor con Debian lenny el mismo tiene un solo COM1 para conectar 
el modem que tenía puesto pero el mismo se rompió, por aqui se daba servicio 
a los usuarios remotos.


Recientemente  se compraron unos modem serie y una tarjeta LAVA pci que 
teniene dos series más. Según el CD que trae esta tarjeta no tiene drivers 
para Linux pero la puse en un PCI o sea que ya podía habilitar tres modem 
serie, pero resulta que ahora niguno de los 3 responde, o sea cuando el 
usuario marca para conectarse el modem hace como que va a responder y 
seguidamente se cae.


Despues le quité la tarjeta y probe con el COM1 solo y nada hace lo mismo.

Cual puede ser el problema
Por qué el modem hace como que va a responder y se cae??

Cosme

Also if you are like me and prefer the older 64bit version 2.0.0.24 you

I would try to find an error pattern, maybe by looking into messages

Re: Extremely large level 1 backups with dump

2010-12-05 Thread Jochen Schulz

Peter Tenenbaum:
 
 In thinking this over, I think that the best approach is to simply have a
 daily rsync --archive from my main hard drive to the backup drive.  While I
 understand that more sophisticated backup systems are often useful in a
 large system, the system in question is a home computer with only 2 users.

Almost the same here.

 The file complement changes but slowly, and we never delete and rarely
 overwrite files, so there's no need to be able to, say, recover the 3 days
 ago version of a file.

Then you even have one reason less for not making incremental backups.
In your case it's almost free storage-wise. The nice thing about
rsnapshot is that you get a complete tree of your backed-up directories
for all increments. This is done using hard links, so it uses very
little space.

 Do you concur that a simple rsync makes more sense in this context, or do
 you think that I would still benefit from using either the --link-dest
 option or rsnapshot?

It might be enough, but as soon as you need more than a one-liner for
backups in your crontab, I suggest moving to rsnapshot. Don't start
scripting your own backup solution. (It should be mentioned, though,
that rsnapshot supports custom scripts to collect the files to be backed
up. This is useful for databases and other files which you don't want to
copy verbatim while the system is running.)

Make a search on nvidia, googleearth, black screen and so on. I found from

is gone by now, and I did not keep trace of what I did. Sorry. If you do not 
find anything, come back, I will call the owner of the boxe to know what I did.

Re: [OT] Making CPU fans spin [was: Re: Seeking advice...]

2010-12-05 Thread peasthope

Andrei,

 Is WD40 suitable for such fans?

The bearing is covered by a plastic cap or a sticker or both.  Very little of 
any sprayed 
lubricant will reach the bearing.  Very similar to spraying a jet of oil at the 
wheel 
of a car to fix a bad wheel bearing.  Also, the spray will coat parts which 
don't 
need it.  That will collect more dust and help polymers deteriorate.

If you really want to fix it, the fan must be dismantled.  Not difficult; just 
requires 
patient  careful effort.  Once it is apart the repair must be appropriate to 
the 
problem.  As mentioned a few days back, a ball bearing will need cleaning and 
oiling 
or replacement, depending on condition.  A sintered bushing will need to have 
wear 
particles cleaned out.  Fresh oil in a dirty bushing won't help for long.

More here.

Cannot mount floppy drive in Squeeze

2010-12-05 Thread Stephen Powell

Well, I'm not exactly a newbie. I've been using Linux for more than 10 years.
But I must be doing something wrong. I can't seem to get a floppy disk to
mount.

My i386 system has a standard floppy disk controller with two floppy drives:
a 3.5-inch high density drive (1.44M in DOS format) and a 5.25-inch high
density drive (1.2M in DOS format). I'm trying to mount a double-sided,
double density 5.25-inch floppy disk (360K in DOS format) in
the 5.25-inch high density drive. I am running the latest Debian Squeeze.
As root, I issue the command:

mount -t msdos /dev/fd1 /media/floppy1

I receive a warning message

FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem
will be case sensitive!

but I'm used to that. That's just a warning. But when I then issue

mount

with no operands, it does not show the floppy as mounted. And when I try to
unmount it with

umount /media/floppy1

It tells me that /media/floppy1 is not mounted! When I try to read the data
directly with

dd if=/dev/fd1 of=erase.me count=1

It successfully reads the boot sector into the file erase.me; so the drive and
the disk itself seem to be OK. I tried other disks and also tried 3.5-inch
disks in the other floppy drive, but I can't seem to get any floppy disk
to mount. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a bug here? I am running
stock Debian kernel 2.6.32-5-686 version 2.6.32-28.

If you get no error, run mount to ensure your floppy has been mounted.

No dice.  I tried your suggested command, except that I changed /dev/fd0
to /dev/fd1, since I need the 5.25-inch drive, not the 3.5-inch drive,
but other than that it was just as you suggested.  No mount, no error
message.  The only output from dmesg is the original warning message:

   FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem 
will be case sensitive!

which also comes out on the terminal, since I am issuing the command
from an active Linux virtual console, not a terminal emulation window
in X.

Automount without desktop

2010-12-05 Thread Joel Roth

Hi all,

I'm finding all the repetitive mount/unmount operations
I do to be somewhat tedious.

Can I get some reasonable automount functionality without
installing a heavy-weight desktop? I currently use only
light stuff: stumpwm or fvwm.

I imagine I could write scripts to do it myself, but
it seems impossible that someone else could not have
done it before.

As I write, I'm thinking of something simpleminded, like
creating UUID fstab entries for each device, and having a 
cron job 'mount -a' everyone every 10 second or so.

Let me know!

Regards,

Joel

Can't you put your devices in fstab and have them automount?
I think most of the Linuxes (except PCLINUXOS--BOO, HISS)
still use an fstab that's written in English.

Are you talking about automounting CDs and DVDs or something else? I  
find 'autofs' very practical. Although I use it for automounting  
network shares via ssh, it would probably work as well, or even better,  
with local drives. There are quite some HowTos on the Net too.

saslauthd in squeeze requires restart once in awhile

2010-12-05 Thread D G Teed

Hello,

I'm using sasl support with postfix for TLS/SSL support.
saslauthd is set for pam authentication, and this is configured
to use winbind.  It all works!

Once in awhile - twice a month I think it has been - users
report logins to SMTP is failing.  When I test saslauthd,
with testsaslauthd -s smtp, it fails.  If I restart only saslauthd
and run the same testsaslauthd from my command line history,
it works.  The test command is run local and is using authentication
which would rely on the chain of : saslauthd- pam - winbind .

I don't see any easy way to control the logging from saslauthd - it seems
to be run it in debug mode and therefore in the foreground or nothing.

Are there any suggestions on how I can trace what is happening
while at the same time not causing too much disruption for users?
Generally I have to get the service back up for them quickly,
but I might have a minute or so to gather some sort
of information when the thing fails.

The information I see in the mail logs looks like normal authentication
failures, which happen once in awhile for the normal reasons,
so there isn't much to see there.

Since you can read the disk try reading the entirety of the floppy

Re: Extremely large level 1 backups with dump

 Jochen, Paul --

 In thinking this over, I think that the best approach is to simply have a
 daily rsync --archive from my main hard drive to the backup drive.  While I
 understand that more sophisticated backup systems are often useful in a
 large system, the system in question is a home computer with only 2 users.
 The file complement changes but slowly, and we never delete and rarely
 overwrite files, so there's no need to be able to, say, recover the 3 days
 ago version of a file.  The backup system is mainly there for disaster
 recovery, with daily backups preferred just so that we don't lose many
 e-mail messages in the event of a catastrophic failure.

 Do you concur that a simple rsync makes more sense in this context, or do
 you think that I would still benefit from using either the --link-dest
 option or rsnapshot?

Although I love your idea, I believe, as long as MB-manufactors don't use that

supported MBs is too small and too old to have a chance to success.

The suspicion about corruption is likely to be correct if the floppy has
been hanging around for a while. A lot of old floppies, programmed or
not, seem to have a lot of defects.  This is too bad if you're trying to
install or read a program that you copied down 10 years ago!  (Yes, I'm
the same guy that said just a couple of hours ago that we should _not_
get rid of floppies.)  OTOH, I've heard stories about short lifetimes of
homebrewed CDs also.  At the moment, I believe even professionals
and governments are having trouble trying to find a long-lasting medium
for preserving data over decades and maybe centuries.  The only long-
lasting recordable media holds far too little data--think phonograph
records!  (Chiseling in rock works too.)
A lot of us--I definitely include myself--have been very sloppy about
caring for floppy media.  It doesn't like dust or magnetic fields, for
instance, and I suspect it doesn't like direct sunlight (the heat)
either.  But I am far from sure that this is the whole story.  Old
magnetic tape doesn't store very well either.  I found a cassette
that's probably 30 years old, and all the treble is gone.  I'll bet there's
nothing over 500 hertz on the tape.  Maybe not even that high.
Of course, tape is wound on itself, and that can't help.

Just some observations.  YMMV, as they say.

what would be nice is if there were some sort of wtmp for file access
