Put pool on an nfs mounted Solaris zfs share
I'm just getting started setting up bppc and I want to experiment with putting the data store on a zfs filesystem. (A solaris host running Openindiana with zfs file systems) I'm installing bppc on Debian (wheezy) and thought I'd mount just the storage pool on an nfs share that resides on the solaris host. Maybe that isn't the best way... I wondered if there is anyone here doing something similar (using zfs for the storage pool). On debian many of the things that would be done by user during an install from sources are done for you. I ended up with the main files at /var/lib/backuppc. which contains a whole pile of some kind of data files. I see them in places like cpool/0/0/0. pwd /var/lib/backuppc ls cpool log pc pool trash ls cpool/0/0/0 00082b8bf118ab8238eab15debddfdd7 000f017d12997dfc67d8e55eab8 file cpool/0/0/0/* cpool/0/0/0/00082b8bf118ab8238eab15debddfdd7: data cpool/0/0/0/000f017d12997dfc67d8e55eab8af059: data I haven't finished the docs yet, maybe it tell what this stuff is... but for purposes of this post I wondered if it would be wisest to let the directories and files under /var/lib/backuppc also reside on the nfs shared zfs filesystem. Which directory really holds the backups... `pc' or `pool'. Another thing to consider when thinking of using a zfs host is whether to let zfs do the compression. One can set compression on in zfs, but I suspect it would not be as heavy a compression as backuppc might do. However, on zfs, it is done transparently and is not really a big resource user. Any thoughts on this subject would be very welcome. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

remove all the blacklist stuff related to the rtl drivers. reboot and do /sbin/ifconfig -a, then check for a wlan0 or other interface related to you wifi card. after it is wlan0, do a /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up. that should works. you could install wicd-curse to ease things.

I'm probably going to regret this but most of the "heavy lifting" on the original OOo project was done by Sun employees (after Sun acquired it. later IBM, RedHat, Orange, Canonical and Google etc, also made major contributions) that's not to say that the LibreOffice developers aren't capable, only that previously (with OOo) their roles were less prominent. It also means that many of the (now unpaid) OOo developers don't have the same amount of time for developing - and the fork left OOo with a lot less workers. When the fork occurred the main complaint (valid) from the community developers was that they were being excluded from decisions. They were also asked to sign a restrictive license before contributing code to a project they no longer had a voice in. The user community didn't trust Oracle management to continue the support that Sun gave the project. They were right. The truly cynical might think Oracle was deliberately killing the project... Earlier this year Larry/Oracle pulled the plug on development. > The last I heard about OOO, on one of the Linux podcasts, is > that since it is apache licensed, they LibreOffice changes can flow down > from OpenOffice, but since LibreOffice is under the GPL3, the reverse is > not true.

LibreOffice is actually a continuation of a much earlier fork of OOo (GoOo), plus the more recent forking of OOo (and the death of StarOffice). GoOo was sort of reanimated into the OOo fork...

My solution was to create a dummy package for both dbus and consolekit. I have lots of dummy packages for commonly-required but useless packages such as gconf, console/policykit, hal, dbus, etc. Careful consideration of the package in question and what it provides will help you avoid any troubles. I can report I've had no issues, but pulseaudio has to be configured not to try to load nonexistent modules (in default.pa, probably).

Yours might be simply an upgrade question, but if you need the latest, greatest(?) perl, you can use perlbrew[1] to install multiple versions of perl in your home directory. This avoids problems of what the Debian system expects for its purposes. Also, local::lib[2] allows you to install modules in your home directory of different (generally later) versions than are available through Debian packages. cheers, Joel 1. https://metacpan.org/module/perlbrew 2. https://metacpan.org/module/local::lib > TIA > -- > Best wishes / 73 > Richard Bown > > e-mail: rich...@g8jvm.com or richard.b...@blueyonder.co.uk > > nil carborundum a illegitemis > ## > Ham Call G8JVM .

At least older Nvidia cards do not work proper with the nouveau driver. Did you test the proprietary driver? Some days ago I switched to Xfce, but kept GNOME 3 installed. I also kept the nv driver from stable, but currently I'm running a full preempt 2.6.39.1 with treadirqs and the proprietary driver 173.14.30. I already build 3.0.7-rt20 patched to run with the proprietary driver around a week ago, but still had no time to go on installing it. AFAIK the proprietary driver should work as long as you don't use the rt-patch without tweaks.

If all of the systems share the same configuration files and have been patched with same updates and use the same drivers and I really don't know, the logic says they should behave the same, right?

I think these two things (speaker message and sata/pata hard disks) are not relevant, or at least do not explain the differences with console resolution.

Re: Sound wheezy/KDE -- testing the microphone
I plugged the microphone into my laptop, ran alsamixer and made sure that the capture device was not muted and set to a reasonable figure (using alsamixer) and then issued the command arecord -V mono test.wav which gave sound file which when played with aplay test.wav, reproduced the input from the microphone. So I know the mic works. I am now getting no output from the sound card at all. I used to get stereo and then, recently, got only the right channel and, now, get nothing at all.

"'pcspkr' is already registered" aborting, breaking console video mode setup
I'm getting some inconsistent behavior. When I boot one installation of Squeeze on my machine, the kernel sets a high-resolution console video mode (240x67). However, when I boot either of two other installations of Squeeze on the same machine, I get just the initial low console resolution (80x25). On those installations, dmesg shows an error: Error: 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting and only about 3 lines mentioning "drm" or "radeon" (vs. the couple dozen lines mentioning "drm" or "radeon" for installation 1's dmesg output). My question is not (yet) what to do about the pcspkr error itself (I have found some pages addressing it), but is this: Why are installations 2 and 3 breaking while installation 1 works? (And why did installation 2 work fine for a while and then start breaking?) As far as boot-time things (e.g., kernel settings), they're pretty much identical. (I followed similar steps in the installer each time.) Because the pcspkr message has appeared in a slightly different position, I wonder if the difference between the systems could be because of timing--installation 1 is on a PATA disk, and both installations 2 and 3 are on SATA disks.

If so, you can see how xdg specifies how it is done. I don't recall everything off the top of my head but there is a an environment variable (probably best set via /etc/environment as not all DEs invoke .bashrc or .profile). Mine is set to XDG_DATA_DIRS=/data/.Common/xdg/default:/usr/share:/usr/local/share::/opt/trinity/share/:/usr/share/ The part I don't remember is how to set up file associations in those hierarchical directories but the XDG site must have that information.

The GUI can run on a different box to the back-end libvirt, but the connection gets a little fiddly to define. In my case I run libvirt-bin on the "big" VM host servers and the GUI on my laptop.

Hum... I would try this: Go to System info → keyboard → keybindings tab
and from there add a new combo to launch your audio player ("rhythmbox")
from the bottom option, "custom keybindings" or something like that.
If the current key is already being used for the default "Sounds and
media → open media player" action, just disable it so you can use it for
your customized command.
