Or look at dsh.

  Description: dancer's shell, or distributed shell
   Executes specified command on a group of computers using remote shell
   methods such as rsh or ssh.
   .
   dsh can parallelise job submission using several algorithms, such as
   using
   fan-out method or opening as much connections as possible, or
   using a window of connections at one time.
   It also supports "interactive mode" for interactive maintenance of
   remote hosts.
   .
   This tool is handy for administration of PC clusters, and multiple
   hosts.

Not to knock cssh, I am familiar with it and use it too for a small
number of hosts, but how do you handle 300 open terminal windows on
the display all at once?  (Before it gets to that point I start
scripting things.)

Since presumabely amuled forks itself into the background then putting
it into the background at launch won't leave the right pid in $!.
That will be the pid of the shell but not the pid of the backgrounded
amuled.

All of the packages you have look similar (in version numbers)
to the ones I have. Mine came from squeeze, not sid, and I don't
know if that makes a difference.

Try this to see what demuxers are avaialable for your mplayer:

mplayer -demuxer help

Check the output to see if "lavf" or "lavfpref" is available.

Using the -demuxer option, you can force a certain demuxer to be used.
Try one of these:

mplayer -demuxer +lavfpref youtube_9sJUDx7iEJw.flv
mplayer -demuxer +lavf youtube_9sJUDx7iEJw.flv




Yes, that works! Thanks!

Well the obvious issues are: what type of CPU are you using: What type 
of video is onboard (does it use dedicated RAM);
how much memory are you using for the entire system. Lenny is very 
capable of doing what you want, If you do decide to buy a new monitor 
then I can reccommend a Viewsonic as a good fairly inexpensive model. I 
recently built a new server & have a 23" Viewsonic doing nicely. Be sure 
to watch for rebates also, some good deals out there now. If you do buy 
a new one with a new video card, make sure you get both that have HDMI 
inputs & outputs. ATI video cards use propriatary drivers but they are 
fairly up to date in Debian now & you can actually get installable ones 
from ATI themselves. I personally like the Gigabit cards with ATI 
chipsets. I use a dual card setup with the crossfire mode activated. It 
allows streaming live full 1080p video. I'm sure there are many 
solutions for your concerns, these are just from my own experience & YMMV!

So, questions:
1. Will my on-board video cards be able to drive a new monitor to full
resolution?  If not, will I be able to run the GUI in a usable fashion or
will I get a fuzzy display or will there be other compromises?

pretty much answered above.



2. Are there monitors that do not support text mode out there?  I'm asking
because I do as much work on my server as possible in text mode, only using X
when absolutely necessary.  I also feel the need to watch the boot messages
go by at times.  If a monitor can't display text mode, then it will be
useless to me.

No problem there with any of them.

3. Are there any other general suggestions about the wide screen monitors that
I should be aware of?


Can only be answered if we know what you want form the monitor.
FYI: if you just want an easier to read screen text resolution, then 
reset it in the boot menue.
X will be reset anyways to what ever is avaliable on the monitor. & is 
easily finetuned.

Thanks,

Mark

Probably will but that depends on video card specification.
If your video card is capable of XxY resolution and your monitor will 
have the same than everything will be ok.

I don't think so.

Probably everything will work just fine. In Lenny period I switched from

doesn't mean it read correctly :-)  That's the problem with my monitor.

I have had this "invalid" mode problem also.

I had to fix it using a hardcoded modeline in the config file.

Unfortunately for the OP,  I can't remember how I determined the
modeline, but I seem to remember simply cutting and pasting it from the
auto-detect modelines.

I pasted in a modeline X claimed wouldn't work, and it worked
perfectly.

I would start by keeping things as simple as possible.  Based on the
kernel you are running, I'm assuming that you are running Squeeze.
Use an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that looks like this:

Section "Device"
Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
Driver  "nvidia"
EndSection

Just those four lines are all that should be necessary.
If that doesn't work, post the contents of Xorg.0.log from that
start-up.

I would be surprised if any TFT monitor does not support EDID.
EDID came out in 1994, and virtually all monitors manufactured
since then have it.

Maybe taktuk.

taktuk - efficient, large scale, parallel remote execution of commands

Description: efficient, large scale, parallel remote execution of
commands TakTuk allows to execute commands in parallel on a potentially
large set of remote nodes (using ssh to connect to each node)

Problems with NVIDIA Driver: "Unable to validate any modes"

2010-12-24 Thread Felix Natter
hello,

I have a GeForce2 MX200:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11DDR [GeForce2
MX200] (rev b2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

The nouveau driver (squeeze) doesn't work, so I am trying the NVIDIA
(commercial) driver.

The GeForce2 MX200 seems to be supported by the 96.43.xx legacy NVIDIA
driver (information from: http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html).

So I used this guide:
  http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
to install the NVIDIA driver with VERSION=-legacy-96xx the debian way
Kernel:
  Linux localhost 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Fri Dec 10 16:12:40 UTC 2010 i686 
GNU/Linux
Debian version: squeeze from Thursday (updated from lenny on 2010-12-23).

=> the problem is that although I have a 1280x1024 TFT monitor (plugged
in via VGA cable, it doesn't have a DVI port) I only get 640x480
resolution. From Xorg.0.log:

[...]
(WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-0
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce2 MX 100/200 at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)
=> seems the graphics card is recognized
[...]
(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1280x1024"; removing.
(WW) NVIDIA(0): 
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to validate any modes; falling back to the default mode
(WW) NVIDIA(0): "nvidia-auto-select".
(WW) NVIDIA(0): 
(II) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes:
(II) NVIDIA(0): "nvidia-auto-select"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 640 x 480
[...]

I also tried to set UseEDID to FALSE (that's why the current Xorg.0.log
which is attached is different from the one attached).
The problem is most likely the monitor: it is fairly old and is attached
via VGA.

xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log are attached.

I am grateful for any hint,
Thanks in advance,

Tool to perform same task over several hosts at same time.

2010-12-24 Thread Roman Khomasuridze
Hello kind people,

I am interested if there is any tool to execute same task over several hosts

I'm receiving over 10 Asterisk/Debian servers from old admin, and I'll need
to perform routine tasks on them, like upgrading modifying conf files etc..

I'm aware of capistrano that might suite my needs, but it's written in Ruby,
and I would like to avoid it , because most of servers are quite resource
limited.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.




Regards

Maybe you can try vcodec instead of vcompressc ... vcompressc is not
documented on the mencoder man pages.

lavcopts: Unknown suboption vcompressc

2010-12-24 Thread Sthu Deus
Good day.

Trying to run:

/usr/bin/mencoder -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=4:abr=3:q=4:aq=3 -srate
11025 -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcompressc=mpeg4:vbitrate=3000:autoaspect=yes:v4mv=yes:trell=yes:mbd=2:nr=600:vpass=1:turbo
-ffourcc DIVX -vf hqdn3d=4:1:1 -o MVI_4877.AVI-enc.avi MVI_4877.AVI

I get:

Option lavcopts: Unknown suboption vcompressc
Error parsing option on the command line: -lavcopts

I suspect that I miss some package in Debian Squeeze, what can it be,
or how I can find out it myself.

PS Googling for

"Option lavcopts: Unknown suboption vcompressc" debian

gave me no results.


Thank You for Your time.

Thunderbird doesn't make this distinction. Junk is spam and spam is junk.

Perhaps your (or your girlfriend's) terminology is at odds with the
people who created Thunderbird, KMail, etc.

It is quite possible to have this kind of split (in fact, it's a
simplification of what I use myself):

- Get rid of Spam (junk) into the Spam/Junk folder
- Keep emails from known shops and other mailing lists out of the Inbox
- Keep friends' emails in Inbox
- Keep unknown but probably not Spam (junk) email in the Inbox

To do this is straightforward if somewhat fiddly.

- Enable junk/spam processing (I assume KMail can do this)
- Create a filter for each of the known shops and mailing lists

Chris

So it works well with X?

What happens if you try to use that command not using the menu but
directly, that is, using its key binding or M-x?

If you don't know how it is called the function for the command in the
menu, open emacs in a X session, C-h k and then click the function in
the menu.
