Mine cost about 100USD (something like 99.95USD, but, close enough to 100USD), and the video resolution specified in the instruction manual for mine, is VGA (640x480), compared with the 960x720 as specified on that web page. Also, whilst that web page and the instruction manual for my set, state that the battery charge life for recording video, is about 90 minutes, the battery charge life appears to be only about an hour (60 minutes, plus or minus about 5 minutes). I have found a couple of problems with my set (apart from the issue of the storage device not automounting, and, from the instruction manual, it should automatically mount), one of which, is that, with the camera being on the left arm of the frame, rather than centralised to capture close to what the user sees, a degree of parallax error occurs, and the earplugs, which are required to be inserted when using the video camera (to hear the messages such as the starting and stopping of the recording), are too big. The instruction manual and the box that the product is supplied in, do not have any information of the manufacturer of the product, so I could not advise of the problems to the manufacturer, so I advised of each of the problems encountered to the supplier. I am waiting for a response from the supplier. You might also be interested in http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/security/c7b4/ (that that web page shows to be discontinued) and, from memory, ThinkGeek had advertised a remote control helicopter that could record video. I could not find it on the ThinkGeek web site so, after about half an hour's searching, I found the web page at http://www.gadgetfind.com/hoverspyrchelicopter.html , which has the hypertext link ( the word "here", in "Check out this spy helicopter here..."), which points to http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/rc/e34f/?cpg=cj&ref=&CJURL=&CID=1869081 , which appears to not include the particular helicopter, so, maybe, ThinkGeek no longer supply it. ThinkGeek also have the video recording swim mask, at http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/travel-outdoors/dc37/ , that appears to have the camera better located than on my video sunglasses, as, where it is located on that mask, it should reduce parallax error.

Anyway, it does seem that turning off the laptop and leaving it for a while is the only thing that's worked so far. I did this and it is now working again. For the record (and in case it can provide clues as to why I'm getting this fickle performance from the laptop), I'm attaching a text file with the results of various commands (iwconfig and dmesg). Thanks for the feedback. I may simply need to get a different laptop.

#$@%! flash is messing with the volume
Hi all, I'm noticing that flash is modifying the sound settings, or maybe it's modifying them and then not setting them back. for example if I use alsamixer to look at the settings and then run vlc and modify the volume the settings don't change. but playing something in flash seems to do all sorts of random stuff including muting the audio. the controls work. anybody know how to deal with this other than to delete flash (again). #$#%!, I hate flash.

wheezy won't boot any more.
Just upgraded a squeeze system to wheezy. It rebooted and ran just fine (except that my scanner still doesn't work, but that's another issue.) Then I did dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc. It checked it was safe to adopt the new parallel boot, and subsequently the machine booted faster. But today it won't boot. It seems to start up fine, but then it gets suck after the message "Starting NFS common utilitues: statd" Any ideas? By the way, before that, udev gaveme some worrisome messages: udev[786] failed to execute '/lib/udev/dmsetup-env' '/lib/udev/dmsetup-env 254 1' No such file or directory This message repeats with different numbers from [786], and comand-line parameters of 254 2 254 3 254 4 254 2 254 1 254 3 254 4 Then there are messages Setting up LVM VOlume Groupe. Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while Found colume group "lovesong" using metadata type lvm2 5 logical colume(s) in volume group "lovesong" now active Starting NFS common utilities: statd and then it hangs until I reset the machine. control-alt-delete does nothing. It may be worth mentioning that /boot is on a secondary partition, and that / is on a logical volume that's in the colume group 'lovesong'. The machine still boots properly using squeeze and lenny, (using different secondary partitions and different logical volumes for /boot and / ).

Re: Unable to create either bootable USB flashdrive or CD/DVDrom
I wanted to try this, but erroneously gave /dev/sdb1 instead of /dev/sdb to fdisk (fdisk -l already showed weird information, and cfdisk would even give a fatal error, but I was too stupid to realize my mistake and thought that gparted, which I used to partition the flashdrive, made the new partition format or some kind of options that were confusing fdisk and cfdisk, so I went on), and set the boot flag there, then when I realized my mistake it was too late to see whether the boot flag was set previously or not. I then restarted with a fresh partition table, and set the boot flag on partition 1, used unetbootin, tried to boot, but got the same result as before.

Re: Unable to create either bootable USB flashdrive or CD/DVDrom
> 1. unetbootin is still broken (unable to make *any* image work on flashdrive) Well: typing from within the boot menu, then changing the first two paths (something like "/ubnkern initrd=ubninit") to "/install.amd/vmlinuz initrd=/install.amd/initrd.gz" does make Debian boot!!! So this *almost* qualifies Debian as working--I think the whole point of unetbootin is not to have to configure the boot loader manually, so this fails, but at least it doesn't fall far. > 2. all Ubuntu based images I tried are broken regardless of whether on > flashdrive or DVD or CD. But these images must be working for the > majority, so why not for me? Still the case, I tried to use the same boot menu 'trick' as above for Mythbuntu, which would make the kernel run into the "Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(104,1)" just as before. Stripping the last two options from the boot parameters (quiet and something else) makes the kernel show all messages; at the end it says that it cannot find the boot volume, and that a root= option should be specified, and that the choices are "sr0" nothing else, but trying root=/dev/sr0 would not change the outcome except that the block device numbers in the message above are different. So I'm going to try the manual route, in the hope that would change something. Christian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

At this point, automatic > execution of a script or manual deletion can be done before its "too late." On my old P1 system 'df /' takes 10 mS where as 'ls -l /var/log/messages' takes 20 mS. Either of those could be scripted to run from a crontab and give warning about a drastic change in file size or free space. The question that comes to my mind is how fast does /var fill up when you have a driver continually spewing warnings? I shouldn't be surprised if it happened pretty quickly. Can you keep an extra window open to watch the pertinent log so that you will notice when it suddenly starts to scroll? I'd suggest you: A) try another usb port, B) try another mouse, C) clean the usb connections (many usb ports connect to the motherboard via a cable, power down the computer, disconnect the cable from the mobo, spray WD40 into the connector, slide on and off the pins on the mobo a few times to clean off the pins, allow the WD40 to dry(5 min), re-assemble all and cross your fingers.

Sorry to hear my suggestion about tr didn't help you.
Try this:
ls *file.ext | hd
to be sure you know what characters are in the filename, then
prename -n 's/\x20\x2A//' *file.ext
or what ever the characters turn out to be

You could put /var/log in its own partition. That way when it's full it doesn't mess up anything else. Gnome gives an alert when a drive is nearly full (at least it does on my dad's Ubuntu machine).

Agree 100% a layer of dust or lint on electronic components makes them very likely to go bad much before expected time. My usual routine is to clean my machines every 2months or so. Cleaning means using compressed air/vaccum cleaner in the box. Fan blades should be wiped manually if too much dirt.

the system does not have a serial port.
maybe there is one on the MB ... however it is not wired to the case.
after about a minute or so the system powers off and immediately on
again to boot up normally (with the usual warning about HDs not having
been unpountet properly)
I have no idea so far as to where I should start investigating. The
logs don't show any abnormality as far as I can say.

I changed the "options" line to modeset=0 (was modeset=1) without any
success
Also tried nomodeset at the grub kernel-bootline,
no success either
the kernel unfortunately dosen't have /proc/config.gz enabled, so I
could not check if CONSOLE_FB is enabled.

The double quote character within Shell's double quotes can be
escaped with a backslash (“\”):
sed -i "s|^\( *PATH=\"\)\(.*\)|\1${ADD}:\2|"
However, one is by no means forced to use just one kind of
quotes in Shell, so the following is also possible:

The questions like this are much more likely to be answered by
the comp.unix.shell Usenet newsgroup folks. The newsgroup could

I beg your pardon, but the FreeBSD handbook beats any linux distro's documentation hands down. You can 'man and get a well documented man page on that topic, I can't "man wl" in Debian. Don't get my wrong, I like Debian a lot, I've been using it since 6 was released and so far, it suites my needs, I even choose it for the VPS I just got. I'm also a FreeBSD fan (used it since the early 5.x days) FreeBSD can also run on these platforms. Although, Solaris is a UNIX-based OS, not a platform, are you talking about SUN Systems? Check out [2] and [3] for FreeBSD's Architecture support policy and a link to download the current supported branches (8.2 and 7.4) across multiple architectures. There are other niche-releases of FreeBSD released by developers on the side, such as NanoBSD, which is used as the base-platform for pfSense. > > And not forget its freedom: There is no coorporation behind it, which si > controlling everything (like i.e. SuSE or RedHat!!) Last I heard, while RedHat does own the rights to Fedora, it is primarily a community-driven bleeding-edge OS designed to provide RHEL an up to date, stable environment. I dunno about SuSE, never used it much.

Slackware is more pure in my option, only because the developer aims to provide a *vanilla* environment that is free from developer influence.

Bugs are fixed quite fast in FreeBSD too, spend time on -ports, -hackers, -bugs or -security and you'll see, sometimes, they are fixed within minutes of being discovered. Bugs found in in BASE can take a bit longer because there is a testing procedure to ensure that new bugs aren't introduced into the base system by mistake with the fix. This is also my opinion, but I think it's an opinion founded slightly more in fact. Take a look at the mailing lists[1] For FreeBSD, join a few and you'll see how well taken care of and robust FreeBSD really is. Ultimately, it comes down to what will work best in your environment and I'm sure we're all happy that you found one. It just seems like your analysis of FreeBSD was a bit short-minded.

I think this is only about the first one, the other one is slightly different
("conflicts with Video RAM" vs. "conflicts with reserved"), and it was already
present in 2.6.39.

Well, I did that, and for some of them I found that supposedly, they are
harmless. I wonder however if that qualifies as a bug, i.e. is it justified to
report a bug against the kernel (at bugs.debian.org) saying that there is this
message during startup?

I make sure that when I buy one, it does have a switch on itself rather than common practice of many manufacturers to take that off to save $0.01. Today's results: 1. Old RAM is working that I could use that in another machine and it booted up fine. 2. Switched CPU and it works as before without any issues. Good old AMD Phenom II X4 970BE 3. Memtest is running on old RAM just to be sure. Tentative conclusion: My ASUS motherboard is fried and I need to RMA it :( that means another couple of weeks of wait time. Will test motherboard after memtest.

Re: how to change root passwd (if forgotten)
you forgot chroot. might also need to do ldconfig -v to make sure the path to shared libraries is correct (but i don't think so). you used to be able to clear out the field in the shadow file or clear out the x (iirc) in passwd, but i think default pam will stop you from doing this :) On Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 11:25, abdelkader belahcene wrote: > *Hi, > I ve forgotten my root passwd on centos 6 (red hat based), > > I tried to change it as I used in debian (in debian it works perfectly) , > that is: > > use a cd live (or installation cd1), to access the hd, > I mount my root partition and mount proc and devices > > I tried the command passwd, no error reprorted, but after reboot the > passwd had´t changed. > then I decided to remove passwd from /etc/shadow (delete the > second field). > > OK, now I can access my machine without passwd, BUT I CAN´T GIVE ANY > PASSWORD I RECEIVE THIS ERROR > > # passwd* > *Changing password for user root. > New password: > Retype new password: > passwd: Authentication token manipulation error > > any idea to fix the problem. > thanks a lot * >

Re: Best linux Distro 2011
Hi folks,
I think, the best Distro is, what is fitting the users needs. So just let me
explain, why I like Debian, and what alternatives are also fine.
First of all, I tested almost 20 distros. The most major ones, but also some
not well known ones, like trinux or easy linux for example.
My main target were the use for web servers and mail servers.
The result was, that only 5 distros left. The other ones fell off, because the
packages were too old, or there was no support by any maintainers. Some used
too old kernels and some were not easy to administrate ("easy" means: Cannot
be administrated by beginners, who can not use a command line).
However, the 5 distros I chose were RedHat Enterprise, United Linux, Debian,
OpenBSD, FreeBSD. The winner was Debian! Why?
1. RedHat lost, because they did not patch a openssh secrity-hole for 3 weeks!
(any other distro did!)
2. United Linux lost, because they installed in standard server installation
mode unnecessary (and unwanted) services like telnet. WTF? Yes, United Linux
was claimed as a distro for servers, and for those I expect a minimal
configuration.
3. That is what I liked most at OpenBSD. As OpenBSD is a little bit slower as
Linux and very hard to configure (there were 3 noobs in our team), I decided
not to use OpenBSD. Additionally our server were secured by a very expensive
firewall, so protection was not so important.
4. FreeBSD (and I thought long of it), just lost, as packages and updates must
be compiled on the system itself. That was no problem for me, but things hnad
to go fast, and I was the only one, who was able to compile things. The other
mebers of my team were Microsoft-Mouse-Pusher or noobs.
5. The winner was Debian. Why? Easy to tell: The packaging thing was running
perfectly, I could automate a lot of things (cron-apt for example), protection
was good with a little more work, and, very important, I could use webmin (in
a restricted form) for our noob-admins and also some usermin-modules for my
customers (also very restricted form). All other things could be configured to
my needs, thanks to the scripts, debian is bringing by default.
And, not to forget: debian is running on the most different hardware, on intel
machines, solaris, risc whatever. I choose after this advice: Choose a
distribution, and learn it. But learn it well! It was also the well
documentation and manuals, which made my decision easy (although the docu of
FreeBSD is very well, too!)
And not forget its freedom: There is no coorporation behind it, which si
controlling everything (like i.e. SuSE or RedHat!!)
If I would have to choose today again, I would again vote for Debian,
especially for noobs. It is easy to install, well to learn, is still pure
linux (like slackware), and has a fine community.
Many may ask, and Ubuntu? Aaah, f...k off! I do not like, what Ubuntu does. It
is mostly preconfigured, and people do not learn anything. And it lacks with
configuration. I remember, I should change postfix from English to German. No
problem in Debian! Just install German locales and configure postfix. And
Ubuntu? There are no German locales in its repository! Ah, get lost!
It is an American Distro!
Ok, this was just my personal point. I love Debian, fes problems with it and
bugs are fixed s fast!
Thank you Debian!
Best regards
Hans-J. Ullrich

oss4-dkms failed after upgrade to kernel 3.0
I was a little surprised kernel3.0 came to wheezy so quickly.
Anyway, after I upgraded from 2.6.39-2-686-pae to 3.0.0-1-686-pae, I got the
scarlet error message:
Unloading Open Sound System kernel modules: done (OSS not loaded).
Starting Open Sound System: failed (No kernel modules detected).
When refered to
/var/lib/dkms/oss4/4.2-build2004/3.0.0-1-686-pae/i686/module, however, oss
module files were all there. Nothing important looked wrong in make.log
neither. I tried copying all .ko files to /lib/modules, didn't work.

Thank you for the suggestion, but as far as I can see prename is not UTF-8-
aware. Is that true?
I'm right now studying
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Perl_Programming/Unicode_UTF-8
and
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=551676
and
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlunicode.html
if I enter
myuser@mysytem:~/path-name-of-unicode-files$ rename -n 's/\x{202A}//' *
I get no output although x{202A} is definitely the first char in the filename.
This definitely needs more than a cursory view into perl - exactly what I
wanted to avoid.
Maybe I better post in a perl mailinglist. Only I'm afraid that I'll get
nothing but RTFM! and "do your own homework!" - they maybe right ...
Cheers
Eike

Generally, I agree, but I've been running Debian with Xen on a couple of production machines (Debian as both Dom0 and DomUs) - started out with Xen 2.x on Sarge, upgraded several times, now running the final Xen 3 release on Lenny. Things have always been a bit finicky, and there are some bugs that have never been fixed that require workarounds (read: tricky configuration) to maintain reliable operation. From what I read on the Xen lists and bug database, I get the sense that Xen (at least the community version) is a lot more reliable and has better support on CentOS and SLES. I'm getting ready to upgrade to Xen 4 and Squeeze, but there's a part of me that is leaning toward either CentOS or SLES - neither of which are environments I really like to manage.

Right now, I'm running LXDE, but I do have gnome-alsamixer installed, and all of those are at max. Considering this is little more than a graphical frontend for the command line alsamixer, I'm thinking you mean the applet. But the package gnome-applets pulls in 357 MB of dependencies.

Then it can be royaly freezing (a soft kernel freeze) not just X. If you
get no useful logs, you may need a second computer attached to one of the

What VGA driver are you using? Whatever it is, try to disable KMS to see
if that makes any difference... or if you are currently running "non-KMS"
try with the opposite :-)

Hdd recipes for preseeding d-i
Hi,
I'm trying to create my own preseed file for automating debian installations
(inside VirtualBox).
But for the life of me I can't figure out how to construct the recipe for
hdd-partitioning.
The size of the (virtual) hdd is reported by d-i as 8.6GB and from that I want
a single root (/)
partition of 8.0GB and a swap partition of 0.6GB.
I've created and tested 2 (imo) very different recipes, but each one produces
the same result:
#1 primary 8.2GB B f ext3/
#5 logical 401.6MB f swapswap
And here are the recipes I've created:
d-i partman-auto/expert-recipe string \
boot-root :: \
8000 8000 8000 ext4 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ }
filesystem{ ext4 }
mountpoint{ / } \
600 600 600 linux-swap \
method{ swap } format{ }
d-i partman-auto/expert-recipe string \
boot-root :: \
7000 7000 7000 ext4 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ }
filesystem{ ext4 }
mountpoint{ / } . \
7700 7750 7800 linux-swap \
method{ swap } format{ } .
The last recipe has dots (.) at the end of a partition definition, but without
them I still get the
same result.
What am I doing wrong and what should I do to get the result I want?
Why is it creating an ext3 filesystem, while I specified ext4?
I can get it to ext4, but only if I change the default filesystem with the
following line:
d-i partman/default_filesystem string ext4
Any help greatly appreciated.

shutdown problem in combination with autofs/NFS
Hello, occassionally our Debian 6 boxes don't shutdown. The shutdown process hangs forever with the last messages: Turning off quotas:...Checking for running unattended-upgrades: I assume, I found the reason for this issue, but no solution. Our linux computers mount some directories via NFS. The directories /home and /sw are managed by the automounter. /usr/local is a symlink to /sw/local.debian-6 which is mounted from the NFS server. While shutting down, sometimes the automounter finishes to early. Afterwards all scripts in /etc/init.d which look for binaries in /usr/local/bin hang. Until Debian 5 this wasn't an issue, because the automounter finishes at a well defined time relatively to other services. But with the new dependency based init system, this time seems to vary and sometimes the automounter finishes to early. If this situation occurs, all local terminals are dead and can be used for debugging. But from an open ssh session I can restart autofs and then the shutdown goes further. First I tried to remove /usr/local/bin from the PATH variable in /etc/profiles. But this doesn't not help, because a lot of init scripts define theire own PATH variable: # grep -l "PATH.*/usr/local/bin" /etc/init.d/* /etc/init.d/alsa-utils /etc/init.d/apache2 /etc/init.d/binfmt-support /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils /etc/init.d/cups /etc/init.d/hal /etc/init.d/ipmievd /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin /etc/init.d/networking /etc/init.d/quota /etc/init.d/quotarpc /etc/init.d/saned /etc/init.d/schroot /etc/init.d/sysstat /etc/init.d/unattended-upgrades Next we tried to adjust the dependencies in /etc/init.d/autofs. But we didn't found a working solution. Is there a simple solution or workaround for this? I didn't filed a bug until now, because of the nonstandard configuration with /usr/local via NFS/autofs.

It gives max volumes much, much lower than Windows for no special reason I know of. Robert: if you're using Gnome, run gnome-volume-control. You can use the slider at the top to set volume to "more than 100%". (Yes, I know that's stupid.) Unfortunately the system will forget this setting if you ever lower the volume. You can run gnome-volume-control by right-clicking the volume applet and choosing "Sound Preferences" or from the command line. -- Carl Fink nitpick...@nitpicking.com Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com.

I doubt you fried a CPU due to swapping DIMMs, unless static discharge was involved. Did you use a static strap, or grasp the chassis with one hand while inserting the DIMMs with the other? Many people ignore the static threat, simply due to ignorance or not reading instructions. I assume you disconnected the PSU power cord while swapping the DIMMs. If you did not, the board was still receiving +5VSB from the PSU. If you did not, disconnect the power cord, pull the chassis cover, insert the two original DIMMs where you had them previously, reconnect the power cord, power on the machine. Some boards don't like having components swapped when +5VSB is present. If this works, power down, pull the power cord, and add the two new DIMMs. Insert the power cord and power on. Maybe you'll get lucky. If not, we trudge on until we find the actual source of the problem. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
