Hello i have a Laptop with Squeeze, OpenBSD-amd64-4.9, and Slackware64-13.37: and it is using grub2 as bootloader, (if i use lilo, it works correctly, but i want to evade bios check) grub2 can not recognize OpenBSD (what is not a problem), and it recognize Slackware, but can not start it. it only gets a simple panic. i have tested the Slackware installer dvd (kernel), successfully. Looking/playing inside /etc/grub.d, do not do any change! Slackware lilo is installed at sector 0 of Slackware partition.

Perl 5.12 transition in progress - Perl packages are not installable currently
Hi all, On Sunday, in collaboration with the release team, Dominic uploaded perl 5.12-6 to unstable. This necessarily causes around 400 packages to be uninstallable with the new perl. The release team will be scheduling binNMUs in due course; in the meantime, if you find such a package, there is _no need to report a bug against it_. The rebuilds will take a little time, so please be patient in the meantime. The list of affected packages is available at http://release.debian.org/transitions/html/perl.html and more information about the transition is at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=619117 Thanks, Dominique, on behalf of Dominic Hargreaves -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I really don't know how.
But I did meet the dependencies issue and seems not simple skip over.
The dependencies issue you met is a check made by apt. It is possible
that the package dependencies do not reflect the real dependencies
(libraries etc) of the binaries, merely the versions available in Wheezy.
Also the Squeeze xserver is quite recent and it would be unexpected for
a video driver to not support it.
I consider (and hesitate) to update to the wheezy but I also worry I
can't handle it.
It is not too difficult, but it is not risk-free, and it's best to stick
to Stable, if you can, for this and other reasons.
Then I will stick to stable.
Anyway, I will see if I can build a Squeeze package for you, but it will
take a few days.
It's going to trouble you so lots. so if possible you can tell me how
to proceed.
I will try to build it first, if I have new problem I will let you know.

KDE does not start any more
Dear list, since my last upgrade KDE4 is starting any more. As I am starting KDE from KDM, KDE is starting, then the splash screen appears. After the third icon of the splash screen appears for millisecond, KDE is crashing, X is resetting and KDM is restarted. Any other WM like LXDE, FVWM, XFCE and so on are working fine. Where can I look? Which are the logfiles, where I should look? /var/log/syslog, /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/kdm.log did not help much. I also created a new user, to get a fresh ~/.kde, and I also tried another graphics driver (nv instead of nvidia). My system is debian/testing, kernel 2.6.38-2-686 and the proprietrary nvidia driver (version 173xx-dkms). Any ideas, how to have a clearer look, what is happening at start of KDE?

But Knoppix is available to anyone, and I would expect other Debian users will do what I do, and run Knoppix (and Ubuntu) on problematic hardware, to see what is necessary for it to work with standard Debian. Both distributions are very useful troubleshooting tools, because they are so close to Debian (it's not much help to know that a bit of 'difficult' hardware works with Windows), and I have kept one of the last CD versions of Knoppix for use on older machines which do not have a DVD drive. While it isn't explicitly a 'rescue' distribution, it does have most, if not all, of the necessary tools. Knoppix can be installed to a hard drive, but that is not recommended, and I can confirm it is unmaintainable. You throw it away and install the next version.

Re: xmodmap settings are forgotten/lost during session
Hello, trying to investigate this further, I set up a Cron job running every minute executing the following commands: DISPLAY=:0.0 xmodmap /dev/null 21 \ DISPLAY=:0.0 xmodmap -pke | grep -q F19 || echo xmodmap gone \ DISPLAY=:0.0 xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap I.e. I check whether my mapping for F19 is still and generate some output to get an email from Cron every time the settings are gone, reloading the settings in the last line. The first is just a check whether there's actually a X11 session on the first DISPLAY. And I get a regular pattern, exactly every 10 minutes my xmodmap settings get flushed. Of course I searched for other Cron jobs, but to no avail. What else could reset my keyboard settings every 10 minutes? Or has anyone an idea how to debug this further?

Re: Knoppix and debian
Knoppix can be installed to a hard drive, but that is not recommended, and I can confirm it is unmaintainable. You throw it away and install the next version. Some people claim this is also necessary with Ubuntu. I started with Knoppix, liked it, did the HD install. Was just fine. Until I discovered upgrading and apt. While I still have a few Knopper-isms around, I can say I am running Sid. I would get rid of those few as they are no longer needed or functioning if I new how (dependency problems with Sid packages!).

Ah, that could explain why mondo fails the detection. udev create devices on the fly -at booting- so mondo may use another nomenclature or method to create them :-? Well, the actual situation is very interesting: 1. I can create the mondorescue bootable DVD from an lv and that, when booted, correctly creates the 'dev/mapper' entries under Squeeze. 2. But I cannot do that under Sid, the 'dev/mapper' enries are not created consistently... 3. Meaning, when I do a Debian install of Squeeze, upgrade that to Sid and start installing the complete system, initially mondorescue DVD's generate the 'dev/mapper' entries, but after a while they do not. 4. Until I have a mondorescue DVD that generates the 'dev/mapper' enries correctly and restore that to an lv. Then boot that lv and immediately run mondoarchive to generate another rescue DVD, and that DVD does *not* generate the 'dev/mapper' entries...

Re: KDE does not start any more
Though you did not state which release, it appears to be something similar to my problems on my sid laptop. Please see the thread at http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user.kde/25539. In my testing, I figure it is either KDE, QT, the kernel, or the nvidia driver. I do not think it is KDE, since I originally upgraded to 4.6.2, but had the same issue in 4.4.5 after rebuilding and upgrading to sid. I am leaning toward the new nvidia drivers (260.19.44).

Probably the Nokia N810 does not count, considering it is not GSM or CDMA capable. And at this point it seems unlikely that Debian will ever run on it. What? Might want to Google again. IIRC, Nokia's phones were the closest to linux 5+ years before Apple or Google ever thought of making a phone. The n7xx, n8xx and n9xx should run most (if not all?) linux programs that can be compiled on an ARM. IIRC, OS2008 was a port of debian. Also, even symbian has Unix roots as I remember an old defcon or bh talk where the guy was explaining how they had implemented an old kernel with tons of known vulnerabilities. Yes. But now that Nokia is throwing its lot in with MS, and closing down many of its software development facilities, and symbian is already dead, that is all likely to change, and is probably what green meant. So on this particular occasion it is probably you who should Google! No, Symbian is still actively developing. They've just gone back to their original O.S. goals. They were around before Nokia started splashing money around and still are.

Firewall/iptables question
Hi all, I'm attempting to set up a simple firewall on a virtual server. I have the following: iptables --flush iptables -t nat --flush iptables -t mangle --flush iptables --policy INPUT DROP iptables --policy OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i venet0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i venet0 --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i venet0 --source m.y.i.p --dport 80 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -j LOG iptables -A INPUT -j REJECT (And iptables -L shows that this setup has been accepted.) This was supposed to only allow my box (or at least my public IP) access to port 80 on this server. I can not access port 80 at all, however. (Please note that without --source it works as expected.) What am I doing wrong? On a related note, the logging only logs the packet, but no timestamp. Is that configurable somewhere?

I have installed Debian on my Thinkpad but mouse Cursor is not displayed.
I installed Debian 6.0.1 yesterday on my PC ( IBM Thinkpad X40 ), but a problem occurs. The mouse cursor telling me its position isn't displayed. I tried R-L click or drug and then, some options and rectangle is appeared. So I think this means there are mouse position but can't be seen. I guess it is a problem related to graphical hardware device. Is there anyone who gives me some advice to display my mouse cursor.

It is a bug in the kernel that was introduced in the upgrade from 6.0 to 6.0.1. It will likely be fixed in the upgrade to 6.0.2. In the meantime you can go to http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ to learn how to compile a vanilla kernel from kernel.orgI am now using 2.6.38 and it fixed the issue. Or on second thought... Backports now has the 2.6.38 available for squeeze.

Remove unused language from GDM?
Hi there. I use en-US and zh-TW (Chinese Taiwan) as locales on my computer, and recently tried to do something with my fonts and replaced my fonts.dtd file with another and tried logging in. The result was the locale or fonts were incorrect and I was given Unspecified [ANSI-X3.4-1968] as a choice in my languages bar. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c211/Rypervenche/GNULinux/xephyr.jpg I replaced my fonts.dtd with the original file, however this option in my language choice has not gone away. I would like to know how I can refresh this list of languages or, if I must, manually delete the old locale choice. I have looked all over the place and haven't found anything relevant, aside from this... http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c211/Rypervenche/GNULinux/CE.jpg I'd appreciate any and all help on this subject.

CPU usage mysteriously spiking after kernel upgrade
After updating the kernel on my ThinkPad from linux-image-2.6.28-grml to linux-image-2.6.31-grml I've noticed cpu usage periodically jumping from 600MHz to 1500MHz several times a minute. This is with not much going on but Vim, Mutt ELinks running in a screen session in a framebuffer console. Top shows nothing under the %CPU column...I don't see anything pass much beyond 1%.

sshd_config and OpenPermit
Hello List, I am trying to restrict ssh port forwarding to one port on my Squeeze box: my current understanding is that I may play with the OpenPermit option in sshd_config. By default OpenPermit is set to `any': if I set it to 127.0.0.1:12345 , I observed not restriction at all: all port can still forward. On the otherhand, if I set AllowTcpForwarding to `n' , then OpenPermit permits no port. Do I miss something ?
