If not a single mirror works for you it looks like a network problem.
Could you beef up on the previous 'IPW something or other'? Was firmware
asked for during the install? How did you provide it if it was? Any
chance of knowing what the card is and whether you set up the network
with DHCP? Cables plugged in tightly?




The IPW thing is the firmware required for the network adaptor. I think it is 
IPW200 or something similar.


That is why I had to use the firmware instal, and the only way availabl;e, is 
using the netinst ISO.


The instal process defaulted to setting up DHCP, but that did not work, as 
the LAN here uses static IP addresses this side of the firewall/gateway 
computer. I think that the modem/router uses DHCP, and it is thus DHCP from 
the modem/router to the firewall/gateway computer, and the firewall/gateway 
computer and everything this side of it, uses static IP addresses.


I checked the connections of the CAT5 cable between the NX500 (the laptop on 
which I have been trying to instal Debian 6) and the switch to which it 
connects (we are currently using two switches - one down this end of the 
house, and, onte at the other end of the house, that services the laptop and 
netbook and tablet computers.


The network adaptor in the NX5000, had worked without any problems, with 
Ubuntu 8.04 and Debian 5 (I think it was Debian 5, rather than Debian 4, that 
that computer had been running), previous to this installation attempt, and 
my wife had been using the switych, earlier this evening, without any 
problem, so the problem appears to be in the installation process.





I have found and looked at the specifications for the computer, which 
are at 
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11860_na/11860_na.HTML
apart from the new hard drive, which is now a 160GB Samsung, that I have 
(hopefully, as it is part of the Debian 6 installation process, which 
has not yet completed) partitioned into a number of partictions.


From the sp[ecifications, the IPW x200 firmware thing, is for a wireless 
network device, and I do not use wireless stuff on computers, so it is 
superfluous, anyway.


The WiFi/wireless device had, in a previous system build process, caused 
interrupt conflicts, a few years ago, and I had had to resolve the 
interrupt conflict using an operating system that I did not instal, and, 
I think that, later, Ubuntu 8.04 overcame the interrupt conflict. I 
found the WiFi stuff to be a real nuisance.


An option, in the installation process;
"
A wireless device has been found. Do you want to install drivers for 
it, and be able to use it?

Yes ( )
No ( )
"

would be good.

I have no interest in using WiFi or any other wireless componments in my 
computers, and so, installing any device drivers, or, being able to use 
the wireless device, could have been happily bypassed, if the 
installation process had provided an option for it to be bypassed.


I do not know whether the wireless stuff is the cause of the problem(s) 
with the installation process (apart from the Debian 6 CD/DVD Creator 
not creating a bootable DVD from the ISO image), but, as the 
installation process appears to have enabled the dreaded wireless 
network device, whilst I chose the eth0 (wired network card) for 
configuring the network, I suppose it is possible that the reason that 
the repositories mirrors cannot be accessed, is due to this wireless 
network device, which has no device with which to communicate, and 
therefore, could be simply "shouting into space", "with no-one to hear 
it".

For the record:

Problem solved by changing Cache-Limit
in /etc/apt/apt.conf to 0 (zero), which means no limit.

oggenc question

[cletusjenkins]

Sorry for this not truly being a debian question, but after googling and 
duckduckgoing I didn't find a good solution and thought I would ask here. I'm 
trying to embed an image in my existing sound (ogg vorbis) files.

I did find a script that makes it a little easier, but no info on how to encode 
the image file in the right format.

In case anyone wants the script here it is (oggart):

Thanks.

Currently I'm trying to solve the following problem (on a system not yet
set up enough to run X):

If I boot with my KVM switch connecting my monitor to my Squeeze system,
I get a video resolution of 1920x1080 pixels (the resolution of my
monitor), giving me virtual consoles with 240 x 67 characters.

If I boot with my KVM switch connecting my monitor elsewhere,
then of course I get a different video resolution--1024x768 pixels
(apparently what my KVM sends in that state when the real monitor isn't
connected), giving virtual consoles with 128 x 48 or so characters.

I want to override Linux's auto-detection and just set the video
resolution to 1920x1080 so that the resolution won't depend on the
KVM switch state at boot time.

Although I can set the video mode in Grub's command line for the kernel,
I'd really prefer to do it somewhere in the booted system (e.g., via
/etc/init.d/... and /etc/defaults/... or whatever) rather than in
Grub on my shared /boot partition (which could get clobbered more
easily).)


Thanks,
Daniel

Re: vsftp problems

[Gary Roach]

On 03/18/2012 08:11 AM, pe...@easthope.ca wrote:

Gary,

   

OK. Now I have 3 machines that are setup identically. The vsftpd.conf
files have the following settings:

  Listen=YES
  #Listen_IPV6
  Anonymous=YES
  #Local_enabled=YES
  #Write_enabled=YES
 

Setting Local_enabled=YES will allow you to log in.
The configuration above allows only anonymous retrieval.
It won't allow you to log in or to put a file.

   

One of the machines starts fine with 'service vsftpd start' .
 

That's the machine running ftp as a standalone daemon.

   

The other two don't.
 

They are running the daemon via inetd.  The daemon process will
exist only briefly when demanded.

   

When I try to start with /usr/sbin/vsftpd, the good machine hangs up.
The other two come back with:

  500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket
 

The conventional way to start the standalone daemon is
"/etc/init.d/vsftpd start"; but as you found, this won't
work when the port is already allocated for ftp usage via inetd.

   

I've checked all the file permissions and everything else I can think of
and have found nothing different between the systems. Two of the systems
are exact down to the hardware.
 

Yes, everything is working just as it should.

   

If I ftp the good machine from one of the others I get:

  Connected to .home.
220 (vsFTPd 2.3.2)
Name (:root): gary
530 This FTP server is anonymous only.
Login failed.
ftp>
 

That is because the default configuration is "Local_enabled=NO".
Login is not allowed.  The terminology is poor and "Login_enabled"
would seem better to me.  In any case, "Local_enabled" means that
the ftp daemon should refer to the local /etc/passwd for
authentication.  This what you want.

   

I am about to throw in the towel on this unless someone can come up with
an answer. Very frunstrated.
 

I mentioned inetd in the previous reply.  Reading this is advisable.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inetd

From: Sven Hoexter
Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2012 07:49:46 +0100
   

There are at least two options. ;)
 
   

1) Stop inetd all together if you don't run any services through
inetd (or xinetd).
 

To what purpose?  There is no harm in letting inetd run vsftpd.

   

2) Or just edit /etc/inetd.conf (or a file in /etc/xinet.d/ if you
run xinetd) to let it not listen on port 21.
 

If standalone ftp is preferred.  For most small scale usage,
ftp under inetd will be more efficient.  The system has other
work besides standing by for an FTP connection.

Regards,... Peter E.


   
OK here is the latest. I have listen=YES on all machines. I have 
Local_enabled=YES on all machines. I read the wiki on inetd. I also 
turned off the ftp listen in inetd.conf. According to the wiki I should 
now be able to start vsftpd by typing in /usr/sbin/vsftpd. This hangs up 
on  machine 1 and doesn't start the process. I get a "500 OOPS: could 
not bind listening IPv4 socket" error on machines 2 and 3. Using service 
vsftpd start on all of the machines starts a standalone process on 
machine 1 but nothing on  the other two. I can ftp to machine 1 and log 
in successfully from machines 2 and 3 but get "421 Server not available 
---" errors from machines 2 and 3 when login is attempted. I have 
checked the inetd.conf and vsftpd.conf files on each machine and they 
are identical.

It is a limitation of dm-crypt.

Just get a box with a supported very-high-speed AES hardware accelerator
(e.g. recent amd64/x86-64 processors with AES-NI), and tune your dm-crypt
usage to cyphers that can be hardware accelerated.  Even single-threaded
AES-NI dm-crypt would be much faster than multithreaded non-accelerated
dm-crypt, AFAIK.

Yes, although it often requires proper support from the EFI/BIOS for it to
be usable in the boot device (and also on the image device when using
suspend-to-disk).  YMMV.

You better do your homework if you're going to trust the vendors of
self-encripting devices.

 This is _very_ strange.   When I start maintenance mode, I am allowed
to change the password. While in the shell, without running X, I can the do
login kjetil
giving my passwd, and can enter the account.

I can do sudo startx
wh8ich now starts X (for me, xfce), but it is started as root! which is not
nwhat I want, I need to be running xfce as "kjetil.

Then logging out, restarting, trying to logging on as usual --- agaiun, do

I'm running testing, a Brother HL-2040 connected via LPT and got bit by
this bug last night.  Took embarasssingly long for me to figure
out.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-filters/+bug/936647

I'm not sure if this is your same problem or not but I had looked
through the d-u archives first for threads about cups problems and this
is the only recent one.

The fix for me was installing the cups-filters version from unstable.

Thanks. So far not .

Several problems:

¿Whats the point with the line init=/bin/sh ?

It does not seem to work, I am dropped into bash

¿shoud I remove the x in /etcv/passwd or in /etc/shadow  or in both?

so far I tried in /etc/passwd
and it does not work.

You have to build mesa 8.0 or later with "--enable-vdpau" yourself.
However, it's probably not really worth it, since the mesa drivers
currently only implement the "P" part of VDPAU, while the more
interesting "D" part is only possible with the Nvidia blob.

A few weeks ago I tried vdpau with nouveau, and while it works, CPU load
is not any lower than with other backends.

shutdown not working in Gnome / KDE

[Peter Baranyi]

Hi,

I can only shut down my pc from a root terminal with 'poweroff' (or
shutdown) but not from graphical environments.

>From Gnome2, sometimes it shuts down, sometimes I get back to gdm. From
gdm, the shutdown action sometimes works, sometimes it just quits gdm.

In KDE 4.7.4, shutdown in the application launcher menu does nothing, or
dims the screen.

How do I fix this? I do not see any error messages.

Your post comes top of the list with a search on 'libvdpau_r300 debian',
which tells you something or nothing.

I rather liked

I am planning to move my 32-bit userspace to 64 bits next HD upgrade,
so your post inspired me to throw together an amd64 VM to test my
QL-500 printer. I used the stable amd64 netinst iso and selected the
print server task.

The Brother drivers for my QL-500 seem to work OK under the 64 bit
architecture, even without installing the 32 bit compatability
libraries as described in "Using proprietary i386 apps on an amd64
system" . Maybe the
drivers are statically linked. 

Anyway, the installation *is* somewhat touchy and took me a couple of
tries. Here are the steps that I had to take:

  ln -s /etc/init.d/cups /etc/init.d/cupsys
  mkdir /var/spool/lpd
  dpkg --force all -i ql500lpr-1.0.0-1.i386.deb 
  dpkg --force all -i ql500cupswrapperinch-1.0.0-1.debian.i386.deb 

   
I suspect these same steps would be needed installing in an i386
system anyway as the ln & mkdir changes reflect locations in newer
systems and the "--force all" is required, erm, normally.

Failed to open VDPAU backend for mplayer2.

[Sthu Deus]

Good time of the day.


Using mplayer2 for playing video files I get this error always:

Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_r300.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory [vdpau] Error when calling
vdp_device_create_x11: 1

In order to solve it I tried to find a package that has

libvdpau_r300.so

file but w/ no luck.

Do You have any idea how I can make use of VDPAU w/ mplayer2 on my
system (testing, video ATI X1100)?


Thanks for Your time.

LUKS/ dm-crypt/ ext4 appears to be single threaded

[David Christensen]

debian-user:

I have a 1.5 TB SATA hard drive I use for back-up's.  It has a single 
large partition encrypted with LUKS/ dm-crypt and formatted with ext4. 
I've noticed what appears to be single-threaded behavior when one 
process is performing a long-lived write to the disk (notably 'ssh 
user@host tar ... > backupfile.tar.gz') and another process attempts to 
access the disk (either read or write).  This is tolerable for a back-up 
application, but would not be acceptable for multi-user, multi-process, 
and/or multi-threaded applications (file server, terminal server, web 
server, etc.).



Is this a fundamental limitation of LUKS, dm-crypt, and/or ext4, or 
something I've configured/ misconfigured?



If a fundamental limitation, is there something I can substitute to 
eliminate the problem?



Some manufacturers make hard drives with built-in encryption.  Are these 
supported by Debian, Linux, or BSD?


http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/self-encrypting-drives/


Any other comments or suggestions?


TIA,

David

libfprint: configure pam to only (and exclusively) use for xscreensaver

I'm trying to configure pam such that normal password authentication is used 
UNLESS we are unlocking xscreensaver, when it should fall bak on the

I don't see anything obviously wrong, but using lvextend on a new VG
isn't really necessary. I'd have used
# lvcreate -n mailbackup -l 100%VG backup

The remount action may have been triggered because of a communication
error between the host and the san. Were you sharing the iscsi target
between multiple hosts?

Setting Local_enabled=YES will allow you to log in.
The configuration above allows only anonymous retrieval.
It won't allow you to log in or to put a file.

That's the machine running ftp as a standalone daemon.

They are running the daemon via inetd.  The daemon process will
exist only briefly when demanded.

The conventional way to start the standalone daemon is
"/etc/init.d/vsftpd start"; but as you found, this won't
work when the port is already allocated for ftp usage via inetd.

Yes, everything is working just as it should.

That is because the default configuration is "Local_enabled=NO".
Login is not allowed.  The terminology is poor and "Login_enabled"
would seem better to me.  In any case, "Local_enabled" means that
the ftp daemon should refer to the local /etc/passwd for
authentication.  This what you want.

I mentioned inetd in the previous reply.  Reading this is advisable.

To what purpose?  There is no harm in letting inetd run vsftpd.

If standalone ftp is preferred.  For most small scale usage,
ftp under inetd will be more efficient.  The system has other
work besides standing by for an FTP connection.

after some time (rsync to this logical volume) it got remounted
read-only and there's "unlinked-inode" from dmesg.

my method of creating a ext3 logical volume is

# pvcreate /dev/sdb
# vgcreate backup /dev/sdb
# lvcreate -n mailbackup --size 1200g backup
# lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/backup/mailbackup
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/backup/mailbackup

Works !

Unrelated but I've found something more: if I download the game and
  open it directly with Firefox/Iceweasel then it works. There is probably
  a problem with some kind of connection (ad-blocker somewhere in the
  download chain).

Instead of changing your password like that, what I'd do is after "mount
-o remount,rw" I'd "vim /etc/passwd" and take out the x for root:

i.e before:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash

after
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash

save it, (make sure it saved ok.) then reboot.

You should now be able to login as root without needing a password
and investigate from there.

Does that work?

It a shame you couldn't/didn't narrow down the exact cause. Also systems
operate quite happily with a read only /usr. The only problem is package
management, of course.

Also, you said could write to home?, which means it would have been rw
for owner/group anyway!

Is "Domain" in "/etc/idmapd.conf" the same on all three boxes?

Are the users' UIDs the same on all three boxes?
