Thanks for your answer.
I have tried both "deny duplicates" (again) and one-lease-per-client,
none of the seems to do the trick.

I have a special (Circular Repurposing And Purging) bucket, (for all types of rubbish), like Facebook, Silverlight, and Angry Birds, there's even copies of MS Vista and ME in there.

A. the Canvas element has been supported by Apple's Webkit since 2004. B. HTML 5 is not a finalised standard *yet*. There are two versions of the Angry Birds game. The on developed for Apple. It uses the Canvas element. HTML 5 is not a standard yet. When it is, it will most likely support Apple's Canvas Element to some degree. The other, more recent, version, was developed for Google. Part of the development contract was that portions be exclusive "for the Google Chrome Browser". It uses the Canvas Element - which is supported by some browsers.

RE: Recommendations for ripping problem discs and organizing mp3's by genre?
I did much the same but with my CD collection. I used Sound Juicer to rip (you can rip to many formats including custom bitrates also). As to the hierarchy you mentioned, again using Sound Juicer, you can set the destination, the sort order, the sort parms (IE artist, album, etc). This would create the directories for you based on your choices. Sound Juicer is GUI and easy to use. Of course, there are many other options out there to use - I just mentioned what I used and was happy with. -Original Message- From: kei...@strucktower.com [mailto:kei...@strucktower.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 9:44 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Recommendations for ripping problem discs and organizing mp3's by genre?

Recommendations for ripping problem discs and organizing mp3's by genre?
A few years ago I digitized my LP collection onto cdroms, and only now am I getting around to converting them to mp3's.

More than one.
for f in $( locate wireshark ); do
if [ -f $f ]; then
echo $f is a file;

elif [ -d $f ]; then
echo $f is a directory;
#rm -f $f;

Remove the comment marks (#) when you're sure you've got it right.
find / -type f -name '*wireshark*' -exec rm {}\;
find / -type d -name '*wireshark*' -exec rmdir {}\;
This latter pair are problematic unless you first run without the -exec ...
and are sure you're only removing things you don't want.

Are both hosts using the same network subnet? For example, if one is using 192.168.1.* and other is using 192.168.2.* then they will not be able to communicate because they will be using different subnets.

Because it ensures that the system time is always monotonically increasing. Time points are never repeated. Monotonically increasing time is an essential point of time keeping. Otherwise you could have system logs duplicated. Otherwise you could have cron trigger cronjobs multiple times for the same task. But I am surprised by your question. If you believe that the Unix zero epoch is always as good of a time as any then what is your concern? It can't be cron since those two concerns are one concern inextricably intertwined. Being concerned about cron *is* being concerned that the system has a proper monotonically increasing clock time. > What does cron do with events that should have happened during the > jump that ntpdate will cause in the clock. Nothing. Since those time points did not happen then cron did not trigger them. The anacron package mentioned by others is designed specifically to handle the cron.daiy et al scripts. That way if your machine is off at the time they would run but boots shortly afterward those tasks will still be run. Think of a laptop being suspended and resumed skipping over those times of day. With anacron installed those daily scripts will run later when the machine has been resumed. I am not really a fan of anacron myself but it does provide a useful function for those cases. > If they are ignored then I suppose I am safe provided I do not set > things too close to 00:00am. Mostly, yes. Don't have any cronjobs within a reasonable window of time and you will be fine. For example I avoid scheduling jobs between 2am-3am because in my timezone that is when DST changes happen and that will cause tasks to either be skipped or run twice. > But then when does it do daily and monthly tasks, 00:00am would seem > like a reasonable time, or does it do it later to avoid problems > with daylight saving changes. You can look this up for yourself: $ cat /etc/crontab # m h dom mon dow usercommand 17 * * * * rootcd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly 25 6 * * * roottest -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) 47 6 * * 7 roottest -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly ) 52 6 1 * * roottest -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly ) Since 6am is outside most countries DST changes the problem of DST is avoided.

Camaleón - this is absurd. You do sound extremely rude. You don't follow the rules yourself. What about the one about not flaming? I diverted nothing. No-one but you responded. I have not started, nor wished to start, the thread you imagine I was trying to start. And I didn't insist at all. I suggest that _you_ reread the thread. I made a remark to which you took exception. I did not react at all to your first blast, because I knew that you were likely to react as you in fact did. One person said that he didn't think I had meant what you were attributing to me. So you blasted him. Had you not done so, I would still have let it pass. I replied that he was right and that I had not meant what you said I meant. That was all. ALL the insisting is being done by you. It is not up to you to single handedly police the net. I fully expect in the near future that someone will object to all this flaming. But I am not prepared to just accept that you are entitled to treat me like this. You are being rude and dictatorial. And I did not insist on anything until after you had started this ridiculous attack/war. And I do insist that the only thing I did contrary to net etiquette is not reread the thread. I made no attempt to divert it. I just reacted to a remark by you in a manner which you feel (probably correctly) ignored the full thread. Of course I spoke from my own experience. Would you have been happier if I had simply flatly contradicted what you said, without making it clear what I was talking about? I thought that you were exaggerating. Most of us do sometimes. I am not prepared to just sit here meekly while you order me around like this. You are one of the most knowledgeable and most helpful of all the people on this list. That does not give you the right to behave in such a bombastic, rude and high-handed way. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Big files are faster cause Ext4 uses extents instead of bitmap blocks. For more information see the links Jörg-Volker posted. In recent kernels Ext4 should have gotten close to XFS performance wise even on large machines. For a desktop or laptop I recommend Ext4 anyway unless BTRFS gets an fsck and leaves experimental status.

I never used more than one PV on a single harddisk unless I decided to add a partition that I used for other stuff later on. I recommend partitioning the drive nonetheless even when its possible to put LVM directly on the complete harddisk. For booting I recommend an extra /boot partition anyway. ext3 for GRUB 1, may be ext4 for GRUB 2. While GRUB 2 should support LVM2 directly, I decided not to depend on that support. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Mmm... man page (man 5 dhcp.conf) says this stanza can work with either
client UID "and/or MAC" address...
***

Identifer option or based on the client's network hardware type and MAC

... okay, so I wonder how can you tell your dhcp server to use the MAC
address instead the UID to identify the client request because the man
page does not seem to provide any clue over it :-?
I say this because it seems the client is sending the UID at install time
but not once the system boots so maybe this is what confuses the dhcp
server ("same MAC address but differenet UID → give that client another
lease").

There is also the "one-lease-per-client" flag, you could try by setting
this to "on", although I'm not sure if it will work.

I've seen the other replies, and: 1) If you need a mail server but have no previous experience, have heard of sendmail and are unaware of anything else, then yes, I'll join in the recommendations that you pick a different one. It is notoriously the most difficult to configure. 2) If you have a specific reason to install sendmail, then do it. Answers to IT questions which start "well, if I were you I wouldn't try to fix this, I'd do something completely different" are sometimes unhelpful, though it is often difficult to guess how much someone knows, and they may be unaware that there is a method which is usually considered better and/or easier. To press ahead, try using dpkg direct, which is more difficult and dangerous than apt, precisely because it doesn't usually stop you shooting off a foot. Sometimes that really is what you want to do. I don't use it often, so start with the man page and figure it out. Forcible, unconditional removal of something is not too difficult, as I recall. But sometimes it doesn't work; your error message comes from dpkg, and that *may* mean it will still stop you, or it may just mean that apt wasn't prepared to kick it hard enough. It happened to me once, oddly enough also with a mail server, exim4. I was upgrading a distribution and was not warned to throw away my old configuration file, which prevented full installation of all parts, and configuration of one of them. Aptitude was helpless, and even dpkg, invoked with extreme prejudice and maximum swearing, wouldn't remove it cleanly. I eventually resorted to reading the file list and hunting them down one by one, with manual deletion, and I could then reinstall from scratch. You may have to do that. If necessary, dpkg -i .deb will install a .deb without a lot of apt's caution. Use it carefully, when you are sure dependencies are already in place. Best of luck. Sometimes it comes down to that. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Is there some way to do this without an initrd? The docs, such as they are, generally recommend using an initrd for booting from encrypted storage, even when not dealing with the sort of complexity you describe, e.g.: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/577 > Since most people who are building their own kernels probably do not > have either of these requirements, building without an initrd would > make things a lot simpler. > > I looked into building an initrd with my kernel builds, but it just made > things more complicated and I could not see the point. > > Is there some other reason to use an initrd when building your own > customized kernels? suspend / resume from disk should really be done via an initrd; from the docs: (c) The kernel should be configured with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y, which will allow you to run the resume binary out of an iniramfs/initrd image.

I don't think that's the right way to deal with this. In order of importance: 1. Setting up the clock 2. Run cron 3. Run the scripts that depend on cron (system oriented) 4. The rest of the scheduled tasks/jobs (user oriented) So I would try to add a reliable source (dial-up or GSM modem...) from where to sync the time or at least to use it as a backup source from where to gather the data if wifi fails or is off for whataever reason.

What does cron do with events that should have happened during the jump that ntpdate will cause in the clock. If they are ignored then I suppose I am safe provided I do not set things too close to 00:00am. But then when does it do daily and monthly tasks, 00:00am would seem like a reasonable time, or does it do it later to avoid problems with daylight saving changes.

No battery backup for the time when the box is powered down, so on boot the time is always the 1st Jan 1970 00:00am. > > > I then set the time using NTP once I have a network connection - > > wireless as it happens and therefore not entirely predictable in how > > quickly it will connect. > > Mmm...

Debian installer dhcp problems
Hello,
I have some problems when doing a network install with the kernel and
initrd in the netboot.tar.gz package in 20110106+squeeze3.
I have a local dhcp-server with an address pool configured. After I have
booted into the installer and selected configure with dhcp the lease
file on the server looks like this:
lease 10.0.0.11 {
starts 3 2011/09/28 07:36:42;
ends 3 2011/09/28 11:36:42;
cltt 3 2011/09/28 07:36:42;
binding state active;
next binding state free;
hardware ethernet 00:30:48:f9:5b:22;
uid "\001\H\371[\"";
}
When the install is done and I have rebooted the server the dhcp-server
gives the newly installed server another address then during the
install, so know it looks like this:
lease 10.0.0.11 {
starts 3 2011/09/28 07:36:42;
ends 3 2011/09/28 11:36:42;
cltt 3 2011/09/28 07:36:42;
binding state active;
next binding state free;
hardware ethernet 00:30:48:f9:5b:22;
uid "\001\H\371[\"";
}
lease 10.0.0.12 {
starts 3 2011/09/28 07:43:50;
ends 3 2011/09/28 11:43:50;
cltt 3 2011/09/28 07:43:50;
binding state active;
next binding state free;
hardware ethernet 00:30:48:f9:5b:22;
}
I assume the reason is that the dhcp-client on the installed server does
not send uid (is this the client-identifier?)
I have tried setting the keyword duplicates to both allow and deny
without any success. From what I can tell duplicates makes the
dhcp-server ignore the UID, which is exactly what I want. Am I using it
wrong or is there some bug here?
This used to work fine with lenny so assume something has changed with
the dhcp-client in the installer for squeeze.
If I can not fix the dhcp-server to behave correctly can I modify the
initrd to make the dhcp-client in the installer to not send an UID?
All help is appreciated!
