debian-boot and usb keyboards

2012-01-10 Thread Jude DaShiell

on both squeeze and wheezy I tried them on an amd computr that got its 
ps/2 port broken but still has usb ports available.  That does not work.  
I also need speakup running for the install so ended up installing 
slackware 13.0 which strangely has no such problems just to get access to 
the internet and files archived on it or I'd be off for at least another 
month.

Or not.

My certificate says it is from
vulcan.linode.com
I don't know where it is getting this.
I have my hostname set to 
vulcan
hostname -f gives
tonybaldwin.org

When I configured postfix, I gave it tonybaldwin.org
tonybaldwin.org is what shows in my main.cf
I do know understand why anything says vulcan.linode.com

Crikey...

I uninstalled postfix, dovecot, reinstalled, and went through the whole 
tutorial again.
Now, I think the hostname issues are all resolved, but I still can't 
send/receive mail.
If I send mail from an external acct., I get no bounce or error or nothing,b
but nothing shows up on my mail server.

If I try to send out, I just get 
failed to connect to tonybaldwin.org, connection refused.

I notice that when I do 
telnet localhost 25
I get
ehlo localhost

There is no 250-STARTTLS
which I had the first time around (when sasl auth kept failing).

I'm totally at a loss and confused here.

in tail /var/log/mail.err I see

I don't know what could be using port 25,

Advice from Daskeyboards support:

"Thanks for your interest in Das Keyboard!

The physical key caps cannot be rearranged into the Dvorak layout because
each row has a different height and curvature, so keys on the QWERTY row
would not feel right when mixed with keys on the ASDF or ZXCV rows. The
keyboard can be used in Dvorak when you change the settings in your
computer, but the keys themselves can't be rearranged without it feeling
"wrong" to your fingers.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions".

Weaver.

Well, I hope the site has become available to you again since the original
message.  There, you can see the layout that colemak provides, it's close
to Qwerty and provides some pros (maybe some cons) to the layout.  While I
do admit that it is quite aggravating to learn a new layout; IMHO it has
paid off for me. I've learned to effectively touch type, and I feel that
my comfort level is certainly higher. I've never been a speedy typer so I
cannot add that to the advantages. Though I do find that I make much fewer
mistakes and my fingers definitely do not travel as far as I felt that they
used to using Qwerty.

I suggest you print out whatever layout you ever decide to go
with, if you so decide.. then at least you will be able to enter your
passwords without too much frustration.

If you feel that you have reasons to switch I suggest you give it a shot,
otherwise, don't simply add a layer of frustration to your daily routine
until you are convinced this is the way to go.

there is only one LUKS header on a disk, right?
I have LVM on top of LUKS. Therefore only one partition with is LUKS encrypted.
What happens when LUKS is on top of LVM. There will be several

partition or is it just one header for all LUKS partitions?

Laptop fan doesn't stop

Hello, running Debian Squeeze 6.0.3 amd64 on a DELL laptop and I have
a problem with the fan. When it boots up, the fan is really silent but
after a few of minutes it starts working and doesn't stop at all. I
didn't had this problem when I was running a debian based distro.(it
would start really slient, then work for a while, then go back silent
and so on).


Is there a fix to make my fan more responsive?

Smart money's on a missing alsa-base package.

To be more thorough:

- Is alsa-base still installed?
- Are you still a member of the audio group?
- What are the permissions on /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer?

What is the output of:
$ lsmod | grep snd
$ cat /proc/asound/cards

Please supply some basic information about your network - eg, routing,

change, client OS and config.

Easy - but, um, not practical. You would need to make the "client" query
the server at ludicrous intervals by using 1 second leases. Your
proposed solution is based on the flawed premise that the "client" is
always listening for updates from the server.

Would you settle for alternative ways to achieve the desired outcome?

If you can supply more information a suitable method can be proposed.

I'm unsure what you mean. Extents is only an optimization strategy for
allocating contiguous blocks. If there are no contiguous blocks, ext4
falls back to allocating singular blocks, but with normal usage
patterns you should never get "tons of blocks available" with none of
them contiguous.

At least, that's how I understand it. Are you getting allocation
failures with still plenty of space available?

Please correct me if I've misunderstood (I don't run Gnome or
WindowMaker) - it's my understanding that you control the sound volume
using dedicated keys on your keyboard *instead* of pavucontrol.

If that is the case - it seems that pulseaudio is *not* being being used
to change the volume.
As pulseaudio *does* control the volume of Skype it would mean that the
volume for some applications becomes louder - while Skype remain the
same volume. This would result in Skype being "relatively" quiet
compared to other sound applications.

How (what do you click, push, twist, or turn) usually change the volume?

Cheers

I did this again (dpgk-reconfigure postfix, not dpkg --reconfigure),
this is from tail /var/log/mail.err

It's the only message I'm getting now.
I don't know where the unexpectec command-line argument is.
There is no /etc/postfix/smtpd
but, rather postfix/sasl/smtpd
and I've checked that against the tutorial, and it looks correct.
Should there be such a file in /etc/postfix/smtpd
not just in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd
?

I think that was from last night, when, for some reason, there was a stray 
space in there:
reject  _unauth_destination (should have been without that space).

Thanks.
Everything there looks as it should be - for the camera.

You appear to have a broken BIOS (which *shouldn't* affect the camera).
"Not enabling x2apic, Intr-remapping init failed."
I haven't experienced this issue - but there's at least one patch out
addressing it. See:-
http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/10/94

>

Then device creation is fine, and accords with dmesg.

It appears as if there isn't enough USB bandwidth for your device - try
it in other USB ports. Use:-
$ dmesg | tail -20 | grep ioctl
to see when you've found a USB bus that's not overloaded.

Test with:-
$ vlc v4l2:///dev/video0
because vlc "just works", and if it doesn't, it'll usually provide
instructive output.

NOTE: the Debian VLC, *not* the multimedia-debian VLC.

If, after trying all your USB ports you are still unable to solve the
problem, please post the output from the following commands (all run as
user):-

$ uname -a
$ vlc v4l2:///dev/video0
$ df -h

USB sticks can be very handy in such cases. It would also be useful if 
you could attach some bigger informations:

ifconfig -a

What kind of change/correction did you do at the "/etc/pam.d/smtpd" file?

When generating the SSL cert you only have to care about the domain name, 
it has to match your current Postfix domain name to avoid "mismatching" 
warnings on the client side.

As stated in the guide:

***
Be sure to enter the fully qualified domain name you used for the system 
mailname in place of "server.example.com".
***

"dpkg --reconfigure postfix" will use your current "hostname" as the 
default "myhostname" paramenter. Run "postconf -d | grep myhostname" to 
get the current value.

>> I pasted some of the errors from /var/log/mail.* here
>> http://tonybaldwin.me/paste/index.php?6

Hey, you have to correct that, it's a fatal error (Postfix quits).

***
(none) postfix/smtpd[22358]: fatal: parameter "smtpd_recipient_restrictions": 
specify at least one working instance of: check_relay_domains, 
reject_unauth_destination, reject, defer or defer_if_permit
***

Edit your "smtpd_recipient_restrictions" accordingly. Let's see:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, 
reject_unauth_destination
 
It seems right... check for trailing whitespaces and also for any collision 
with "/etc/postfif/master.cf" (variables have to be defined only at one place).

Well, in my Postfix I have commented:

#myorigin = /etc/mailname

Because I prefer to use:

myhostname = server.example.com

To do not mix the linux system hostname with Postfix e-mail service.

But I'd say the hostname is at this point irrelevant, the big error is 
that Postfix service is exiting because of the above warning.

A quick websearch ("paste debian") suggests it should have been .net,

The usual reasons for ADSL line going down are:

1/ Long distance to the phone central (for ADSL2+ that's >1000 meters)

2/ Bad cabling inside your home

3/ Intermittent/sporadic errors coming from the ISP (you can monitor 
whether the drops are happening every day, at the same time...)

4/ The router. Zyxel's ones tend to be more stable and less prone to 
dropping the line when they detect any incosistency (eg., bad values for 
SN ratio, line attenuation...). You can check your current values from 
the web interface.

Thanks. I found that I can start Thunar as a daemon which gives me automount.
I'm using MC for file management, but I guess I could use Thunar since it'll
be running at all times anyway doing automount for me.

<132> Jan 10 11:28:02 PPP link down (Internet) [189.188.139.94]

Corresponds to ddclient's

Tue Jan 10 11:30:05 2012 189.188.159.103 (226)

So the link was down for 3 minutes.

Wonder if Telmex can tell me why their ppp link goes down?

Did you sent the job to be printed as root user? 

By default, the path for the stored PDF is the user's home but yes, this 
can be changed. Read "file:///usr/share/doc/cups-pdf/README.Debian".

I believe either thunar or pcmanfm (graphical file managers) come with all that 
automount stuff preconfigured.
so you could just aptitude install pcmanfm, or something, if you want a 
graphical file manager to handle that.
I'm not sure what other graphical bloat they're likely to bring with them.
Thunar, iirc, is part of the XFCE desktop, but I don't think you need to 
install xfce to use it.
To my knowledge, they both use gtk.

Okay, at this point, I am getting different errors.
I think I resolved the sasl issue by correcting an error I had made in 
/etc/pam.d/smtpd

But, now, if I telnet to localhost 25, either the connection drops immediately, 
or
anything I try to do (like elho localhost) hangs for a long time, and then, 
again,
just dumps the connection without result.

Oddly, before correcting the error in /etc/pam.d/smtpd
I would get expected results with
telnet localhost 25
ehlo localhost

(such as indication
250 - STARTTLS
etc.
)

but now, no joy...weird.

I was using precisely these instructions, and believe my cert is correct (I've 
redone it about 20 times now, too).
I've gone over this whole tutorial like 20 times now.
One thing: 
Initially my fqdn was set at server.linode.com, because I had somehow set it 
before my domain was resolving, or whatever.
but I've changed it (echo server.tonybaldwin.org > /etc/hostname, hostname -F 
/etc/hostname),
but when I've done dpkg --reconfigure postfix, it still wants to do
server.linode.com
and I fix that by hand in main.cf, and anywhere else I find it
then restart postfix.
This is the only thing odd I can identify.

I pasted some of the errors from /var/log/mail.* here
http://tonybaldwin.me/paste/index.php?6

I could paste any of the relevant other files (etc/postfix/main.cf or whatever) 
if it would help.
Dovecot seems to be fine, I believe, so at this point, I do believe it's just 
something in postfix
(postfix handles the smtp, yes?)
Because i can connect with imap, just can't send/receive over smtp.
I have made like 3 dummy accts, and they can mail each other on the server with 
mailx,
then read that in mutt or squirrelmail over imap, but none can send or receive 
to/from the exterior.

thanks
tony

In the DHCP protocol there is no facility for the server to "push"

this basically depends on your lease periods on the server...

Will USB mount work with a phone and MicroSD cards in the card reader on

Automount

2012-01-10 Thread Christian Dysthe

Hi,

I've been running a relatively minimal desktop for years (Pekwm/hint2).
I haven't had many devices to connect to my computer so I have mounted
as needed. Over the last couple of years I've gathered devices I like to
connect to my computer like cameras, phones and a USB drive so I thought
it might be time to look into getting automount working. What's the
easiest way to do this without running Gnome (or KDE)?

I'm running Sid

And I'm using now the 'slim' display manager instead of 'gdm3'.

I find the solution:

To me it looks like you lack something like

deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main

(with contrib and non-free added if you use such packages)
in addition to your lines containing squeeze-updates.

JFYI, that crappy-saga of Thomson routers have an internal log facility 
which records such information. By accessing the router via telnet you 
can see, send or flush the logs :-)

Correct. Also, as the commented part suggests, you should use the
mirror closest to you. For example, if you live in Sweden, the
repository line to use would be

deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib

If in US:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib

And so on.

No sound after purged some gnome packages

Hi,

I have problem with sound. Can't hear anything except PC speaker's
beep. This PC Speaker is in the PC Box and is small. :)

On my Desktop Speakers I can't hear any sound.

The wmmixer application can't find /dev/mixer
wmmixer : Unable to open mixer device /dev/mixer'.

Aplay can't find any soundcard.
aplay -l
aplay: device_list:242: no soundcards found...

PulseAudio can't also find any soundcard.
pacmd
Welcome to PulseAudio! Use "help" for usage information.
>>> list-cards
0 card(s) available.

What I did is that that I just purged almost all gnome packages from my
Debian SID and maybe purged some essential packages for sound.

How can I solve this problem?

start-stop-daemon: stop several processes


Hi,

There are 2 systems behind a Thomson TG585V8 router connected to the 
internet.


Currently about once every halfhour the 'internet' LED on the router 
goes out (no internet connection) then goes red (internet connection 
failed) and goes green again. Takes 3-5 mins.


On my desktop this is noticed by ddclient which sees a change in the 
external IP and behaves accordingly.


Because I am interested in recording these events, like this:

Tue Jan 10 08:19:51 2012 189.188.155.144 (226)
Tue Jan 10 08:49:52 2012 189.188.157.21 (226)
Tue Jan 10 09:29:54 2012 187.132.137.81 (226)
Tue Jan 10 10:14:57 2012 187.136.116.91 (226)

I wrote a program 'do_chk_ip' which is piped the tail of syslog and 
looks for the appropriate ddclient message and then records the date and 
time to a database.


This process is started at boot by 'do_chk_ip' in /etc/init.d which has:

  stop)
start-stop-daemon --stop --verbose --exec $DAEMON
;;

where $DAEMON=/usr/bin/do_tail_chk which has:

tail -s 1 -n 60 -f /var/log/syslog | /usr/bin/do_chk_ip

but that starts 3 processes:

28739 tty5 00:00:00 do_tail_chk
28740 tty5 00:00:00 tail
28741 tty5 00:00:00 do_chk_ip

My stop) statement only kills 28739, how do I specify that also 28740 
and 28741 ought to be killed?

Mmmm, my guess is that your are having problems (or at least "one" of the 
problems, the other can be indeed with saslauth :-) ) with the SSL 
certificate you have generated, described in this step of your guide¹.

To verify this point, test if your smtp is working fine (port 25, no SSL) 
and post here the results.

Also, review your Postfix logs (omit sensitive data if you post them here), 
they're usually the best source for solving problems :-)

I would also:

1/ Check if it works from another (new, freshly created) user.
2/ Check if custom keybinding works. For instance:

"/apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_1" "a"
"/apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_1" "gnome-terminal"

Should launch gnome-terminal when you press "Ctrl+a"

I think the client will use the old lease until it is renewed or forces

Nice to know the upgrade path (instead a full pararel install) does the 
work for you. I understand every sysadmin has developed his/her own 
maintenance techniques and sticks to those that have been working for his/
her setups over the years.

I personally don't like using VM for this purpose because they don't 
provide reliable results (what usually fails when upgrading from a older 
version to another are hardware related problems more than problematic 
services). In the end, software issues are usually easier to solve than  
hardware compatibility problems (like buggy drivers).

I also try to reduce the downtime for the installation of a new release 
by performing the migration on holidays or over the weekends when users 
are not at the office.

That would be great but I don't have secondary machines for balancing all 
of the services (I wish I had!) so this is not always possible :-)

Yup, running an unsupported (unpattched) system is a high risk, even more 
if it is providing external services (web hosting, e-mail...) :-(

Aha. With the UNetbootin's Debian Stable_NetInstall_x64 option it's not 
possible to skip the network setup. But with this one it is:

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.3/amd64/iso-cd/debian-6.0.3-amd64-
netinst.iso

I installed SSH server and Standard system utilities.

`dmesg | grep -i firmware` returns
"[   0.874429] pci :00:1f.0: [Firmware Bug]: TigerPoint LPC.BM_STS 
cleared"

`lspci | grep Ethernet` gives
"02:00.5 Ethernet controller: JMicron Technology Corp. JMC250 PCI Express 
Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03)"

`ifconfig` lists only the loopback interface.

I can run `ifconfig eth0 up` and then eth0 is listed by `ifconfig`.
I added the following to "/etc/network/interfaces" without any difference:
"iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.201
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1"

You wrote in your first answer I should update to the newest kernel. At 
the moment is 2.6.32-5-amd64 installed.
How can I do that without a network connection?

What else can I do?

Best regards
Ramon

Re: interfaces file failes to set gateway

2012-01-10 Thread David Liontooth

Thank you, Bob -- much appreciated, including the update on the
conventions for the interfaces file!

Cheers,
Dave

This is my /etc/network/interfaces:

gateway 192.168.0.178

First, it would be good to remove the network and broadcast lines.
They are redundant information. It used to be that the
debian-installer would create those as examples. But those examples
have been removed and the d-i no longer creates those. Recently there
has been a push to clean these up so that they are no longer
distributing such examples. Here is a reference:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=630551

Second, it would be good to update to the modern event driven style
replacing "auto eth0" with "allow-hotplug eth0" instead. Or keep
"auto" and also add "allow-hotplug eth0" too. That is supported. The
presence of "auto" allows '/etc/init.d/networking restart' to work.
The presence of "allow-hotplug" allows it to be started and stopped
based upon it being detected by the kernel is an the modern code path
for all new systems. These days it is probably the much better tested
of the two since the older way is deprecated. I expect you are seeing
the deprecation warnings.

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.26
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.178

The format and contents of the file are documented here:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch05.en.html#_the_network_interface_with_the_static_ip

I don't think either of those two things will affect the problem you
are seeing. But they would both be good changes to make to update to
the current standards before trying to debug further.

I cloned this entire operating system, which as you see is on a
private subnet, to another box that is on a public network, and got
exactly the same problem (with a different gateway). I have other
machines on the same networks with the same configuration that don't
have this problem. What could be preventing the default gateway from
being set on boot?

This information leads me to believe that it is probably not in the
interfaces file. The file looks okay to me (other than my comments
above) and therefore the problem is probably elsewhere. The most
likely suspects would be one of the files in the /etc/network/*.d/*
directory.

ls /etc/network/*.d/

Look through those files and see if any of those might be causing this
problem. They would have been cloned with the other machine and that
also leads me to think the problem might be there.

Have you looked at the /var/log/syslog file and/or dmesg output to see
if there are any messages related to network setup that might be
clues?

Good luck!
Bob

You can setup logrotate to do not delete the files and stores at your 
wish (forever, 5 years, one year...) though I would not recommend it :-)

What's the CUPS log? Can you see any message or error from CUPS's web

Output PDF files are stored under your user "~/PDF" folder.

I forgot about grub2. It's only recently that I've built it and seen how
big of a monster it is. All the modules it comes with is quite useful
though.

That's true.
