rt kernel and nouveau

[daniel jimenez]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to get an rt kernel working in debian testing on an amd64 laptop
with nvidia graphics.

Ideally I'd have nouveau set up to start when I select (in grub) the rt
kernel and the nvidia drivers when choosing the regular kernel. Problem is,
I don't know how to do that...

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

Can you run the same command but in verbose  mode?

ssh -l vicky -L :192.168.21.2:22 118.97.247.242 18.97.xx.xx -vv

Pay attention to the -vv option -^

Best regards

Thu, Mar 22 2012 00:02:20 -0400


Be warned...libpcre3 8.30-1 makes for an un-runnable system, at least it
did here. I solved it by downgrading to 8.12-4 again which contains
libpcre.so.3. Apparently the new version doesn't.

It's a requirement on a *technical* mailing list to provide technical
data related to a problem, not merely subjective statements, which is
all you have provided thus far.  At *minimum* you should provide some
*evidence* of the problem.  Such evidence may consist of, but not only,
ping and traceroute output in both directions, to/from the "problem
server", from multiple hosts on different switch/router segments within
your network and outside of it.  We need to see your output, not just
comments, such as:

Ouch!  From now on, unless the sex of a poster is patently obvious from
the name, I must in all other cases use sexually neutral pronouns or
substitutes for pronouns.  Possible suggestions: (s)he s/he, h(er:im),
her/him, h(is:er), his/her.  Other possibilities welcomed.  I have
already trained myself to use Ms. instead of Miss or Mrs, or just plain
M. if the sex of the individual addressed is not obvious -- as is done
in French, at least in Canada.

problem suspend - Asus eeepc 1201n - Debian squeeze - kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64

[wmarcos]

Hi!

I've been having problems suspending my Asus eeepc 1201n ( more detail
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_PC/Eee_PC_1201N_Seashell/#specifications )

With kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64 (standard of squeeze) it suspends once, the
second time suspend and wakes up again immediatly.

I've tried other kernels that the internet suggested ( 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1569586 )
but none of them seem to work:

2.6.39-02063904-generic -> video fails on wake up
3.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 -> suspend and wakes up immediatly every time.

In the debian wiki ( http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/Model/1201N ) says:

"Suspend
There are still problems with suspend. The BIOS version can make quite a 
difference in the suspend behavior. Upgrading to the latest BIOS version (0324) 
fixes a fan bug that can make the fans stop working when coming back from 
suspend, leading to overheating and forced shut down.
However, it still is apparently not possible to suspend more than once per 
power-up. After the first suspend, the machine will try to suspend but fail and 
then return to normal state."

Is that the las word about this? Anyone can help? In ubuntu always worked fine.
I have the syslog for more information if you need it.

Thanks !!

PD: I'm new at this list so please let me know if I do anything wrong.

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification. I recently bought a refurb T61,
based on the series's stellar reputation, and I was getting nervous ;)

I am sorry, I didn't mean to imply that Thinkpads in general were poor
quality. In fact, my experience is just the opposite. My T61 is now 4.5
years old and has held up better than any other laptop I have ever
owned. It's just the Ricoh card reader that is troublesome.

Re: irq 19: nobody cared - Disabling IRQ #19

[Mark Copper]

I was plagued by this problem.  I seemed to have fixed it by turning
of the firewire in Bios.

Best advice I saw in searching the net was to find out exactly what
device is causing the problem.  Do that by finding out what devices
use the IRQ an turn them all off but one.  Not so simple if a device
is your hard drive, but you get the idea.

The issue everyone was poking at was the order of actions.  If you run
"dmesg|tail" first before inserting the card then that is before and
there won't be any messages about it yet.  Instead the order would be
to insert the card first and then run dmesg afterward to see what
output it produced.

But that output may be slow to be emitted over time.  I think it is
better to tail the syslog file.

AFAIK /var/log/syslog would would have all of the same information as
dmesg and so tail'ing with -f it would give real-time coverage of the
messages and no need to repeatedly run the dmesg command.

Thanks for the suggestion..however if the SD card happens to be in the camera
and not in the card reader during the boot fstab can't find 'sde1' (because
it's not there) then I get to see the 'not found' warning. That's the reason
for not putting the 'sde1' line in fstab.

Well, you *could* do that:

1. man sshd, read the section AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT to
restrict commands

2. remember that you need to authorize them to do this with
sudo, so edit /etc/sudoers appropriately.

but I really suggest you NOT do this, unless you are the user in
question. Remember that the power of apt-get as root can trash
your machine.

If what you want is automated or semi-automated updates, you
could do worse than run apticron.

A little more advanced would be to create your own apt
repository, and only move packages into it when you have already
vetted them and want them applied. Then you can safely run
apticron with automatic installation.

You'll get better advice if you explain what you're trying to
do.

The network driver? 

As you have updated the system from Lenny to Squeeze, the kernel could 
have introduced some sort of incompatibility or bug within the network  
module you're using.

I would search for any bug report related to "packet loss" over the 
Broadcom Nextreme IIx drivers.

Re: Can no longer mount SDHC card

Hash: SHA1

I did so today.  For Keith McKenzie's information the card I bought was
designed in the U.S. of A., made in China and branded in Thailand:
Anitech All in One CardReader, seems to read all cards currently in
captivity, very small (68 x 36 x 12 mm), comes in three decorator
colours (pink, blue and white, I chose a blue one), paid 250 baht for it
(CAD8.30, USD ±2% of CAD amount).

I plugged in to a USB port, installed in it a CF and a SDHC card and ran
command blkid.  It assigned /dev/sdb1 to the SDHC card and /dev/sdc1 to
the CF card.  I then modified /etd/fstab accordingly, opened Konqueror
and voilà!  I was able to open both cards and copy photos from the SDHC
card to the the CF card.

The fact that blkid was able to identify these cards but not a SD card
in the built-in slot, and that this fault came completely out of the
blue without any software changes, reinforces my opinion (and John Jason
Jordan's as well?) that the cause of inability to mount and read a card
in that built-in slot was hardware failure.  Surely if the hardware were
in order blkid would have identified the card in that slot and assigned
/dev/mmcblk0p1 to it, as was done in the past.

Camaléon's latest suggestions are worth trying to determine whether the
cause is a software malfunction rather than a hardware failure.  To do
so however I would have to wait until I upgrade the laptop from Lenny to
Squeeze, as he suggests I use an updated kernel.  I will not be able to
do the upgrade before May.

What do you mean with WHERE the loss happens? I know what do to at the "normal" 
level where I write iptable firewall rules, interfaces files, routing rules but 
I do not know what to do at the network stack level.

All I know right now is when I send pings to the server from another server I 
get 1-5% packet loss. :-(

For static mount points, this is usually done/set in "/etc/fstab". You 
basically need two things:

- Set the right permission options for the mount point so users can read/
write/whatever

- Create a mount point in your system with the right permissions

You can do these two things as you prefer, that is, by manually editing 
the "/etc/fstab" file and set the mount point permissions using the 
command line or using GUI tools. I prefer to do these things manually to 
have more control over the steps :-)

In addition to the explanation, show us the output of:

fdisk -l

So we can have an idea of the current state of your hard disk partitions.

What recent operating system needs to be installed still in a primary

Operations with partitions are always dangerous and can lead to data loss 
(always make a full backup before playing with this) and can be handled 
by Gparted from a LiveCD (that is, from a non-running system) but your 
options will depend on your current partition layout.

Im not sure (nor im sure how to check it if thats the case) but I think

I'd say: use whatever works better every time.

I have not faced any problem in stable/oldstable releases when using 
official repos and "apt-get dist-upgrade". Never. A different thing could 
be using external and third-party repositories over a testing/sid 
distribution. In such scenario there can be times in which aptitude can be 
of help.

I don't know Chromium much but could it be possible to manually edit the

edit the URI part to append the "https://";?

From what I know, I have trouble understanding why 'aptitude update'
fixed anything for you. But we probably need a developer to clear things
up.

JFTR, I use apt-get nowadays as well. At least most of the time. The
simple reason is that it performs a few things faster than aptitude
(update, upgrade without upgradeable packages).

Sometimes aptitude's TUI is really useful. Like yesterday, when I
down-pinned debian-multimedia.org and wanted to replace all packages
from there with their official Debian counterparts (if possible).

Probably the most useful command for aptitude is 'keep-all'. It clears
any additional status concerning installations and removals that
aptitude keeps (and apt-get doesn't know about).

I didn't know there was a package for the fonts.

Of course, if there is a package which is crafted specifically for latex 
then yes, it should configure automatically the font path accordingly. 
Otherwise is something worth to report.

Re: query about optical disc format

[Wayne Topa]

On 03/21/2012 10:25 AM, Bret Busby wrote:

Hello.

I am running Debian 6 on this computer.

In trying to find what happens with a DVD that is written from a DVD
recorder /player and television tuner, I put the DVD in the computer
optical drive.

The computer did not automatically load any DVD/CD application, to play
or do anything else with the disc, and the File Browser utility does not
see the disc.

In looking around in the menu's, I found, in the Applications -> System
Tools menu, "Disk Utility", and, in running that, and selecting "CD/DVD
Drive", I found that, under "Volumes", it has:

"
DVD_VIDEO_RECORDER
1.0GB udf

Usage: Filesystem
Type: Universal Disk Format
Label: DVD_VIDEO_RECORDER
"

Does an application exist for Debian 6, that allows access to these
discs, and, that allows users to view the recorced video files, on a
computer running Debian 6?


Yes
apt-cache search video |grep DVD |less



Whilst the open/close button on the drive, does not allow me to eject
the disc, until I use the Disk Utility option to "Unmount the media",
apparently, all that I can do with the disc, is insert it, using the
Open/Close physical button on the drive, and then unmount the disk, top
eject it, but I apparently, cannot read the disc.


~# man eject


Looking in Synaptic (searching on "universal disk format"), returns
three results, and the closest, most applicable result, seems to be the
package udftools, which has the package description

"
tools for UDF filesystems and DVD/CD-R(W) drives

This package contains a number of user-space tools related to
creating filesystems in the UDF (Universal Disk Format), which is
primarily used for DVDs, but sometimes also CD-ROMs:

mkudffs - Format a device, creating an empty UDF filesystem
cdrwtool - Low-level drive management (e.g. set writing speed, format)
pktsetup - Set up a packet writing device (/dev/pktcdvd0) for a drive
wrudf - Maintains a UDF filesystem (undocumented)
"

So, whilst a utility appears to exist, for creatung a UDF filesystem,
for Debian 6, apparently, UDF files and UDF fylkesystems cannot be read
by Debian 6.^^^ file not fylke





Is this correct?


No.  Install the udftools package.
Then do
less /usr/share/doc/udftools/README.Debian.gz  which explains how to get 
UDF working.


Thank you in anticipation.

OT: Chromium and HTTPS search machine by default.

[Sthu Deus]

Good time of the day.


Is it possible to set default search engine in chromium that uses HTTPS
protocol?

For now I have it in "Other search engines" of Basics / Search Engines
and navigating at its line, no button "Make default" appears - like in
"Default search options" and it seems no way that makes it possible to
move the record of the desired search machine from "Other search
engines" to "Default search options".


Thanks for Your time.

Query about hard drive partitions maintenance

[Bret Busby]

Hello.

In investigating a problem to do with the UDF filesystem format, in 
running the Disk Utility, I found the system hard drive partition table, 
and have a couple of questions.


The first is this; I have some empty partitions for storing data, and 
they were created using the Ubuntu 10.04 installation (before I 
installed Debian 6 on the system), and I need to know how to access them 
as a user, to move and write data to them.


Using the File Browser, on one of them that I managed to mount using 
the utility, the Permissions are all shown as root, and so, as a user, I 
cannot change them.


Using the Disk Utility, in selecting a partition, no option is apparent 
for changing partition permissions to allow users to write to the 
partition.


To me, simply using the su - root then chmod 666 for /dev/sdax, to 
change the partition permissions, does not seem right, so I am wondering 
whether there is something that I am missing, in trying to use the Disk 
Utility to provide full user access to the partition(s).


So, please advise whether there is something that I am missing in using 
the Disk Utility to grant users full access to the unused partitions.


The next problem may be a bit more difficult (or, unable to be solved).

In my primary partition, I have three partitions. I have a hardware 
manufacturer's partition, a recovery partition, and, as the computer 
came with MS Windows, a Windows partition, which is 84GB.


Having inmstalled Ubuntu and Debian 6, I want to experiment with a 
different operating system, which requires to be installed in a primary 
partition (otherwise, I could instal it in one of the unused 
partitions).


With what I now have on the hard drive, rather than deleting the 
logical partition, and starting the mutiple systems build all over 
again, to get an extra primary partition (I understand that up to four 
primary partitions can be created and used), I wonder whether there is 
some way of shrinking the existing sda3 partition, which is where MS 
Windows is installed, and creating a new primary partition; sda4, into 
which I could instal the other operating system, rather than 
obliterating everyuthing that I now have in the extended logical 
partition.


sda3 is 84GB, and I believe (although I am not sure, but, it sounds 
reasonable) that 42 GB should be enough space for each of Windows in one 
partition (Win7 Pro), and the other operating system in its own 
partition of 42GB.


So, please advise whetehr I can now adjust the primary partition sda3, 
to shrink it to 42Gb and create another primary partition; sda4, that I 
could use to instal and run another operating system.


Thank you in anticipation.

Eqivalent does not equal identical.  If they were identical there would be no 
point in having the two of them.  None the less they are equivalent, in that 
if you are upgrading to a higher version of Debian, then apt-get dist-upgrade 
is what you use in apt-get and aptitude full-upgrade is what you use in 
aptitude.

aptitude safe-upgrade has a different purpose.

query about optical disc format

[Bret Busby]

Hello.

I am running Debian 6 on this computer.

In trying to find what happens with a DVD that is written from a DVD 
recorder /player and television tuner, I put the DVD in the computer 
optical drive.


The computer did not automatically load any DVD/CD application, to play 
or do anything else with the disc, and the File Browser utility does not 
see the disc.


In looking around in the menu's, I found, in the Applications -> System 
Tools menu, "Disk Utility", and, in running that, and selecting "CD/DVD 
Drive", I found that, under "Volumes", it has:


"
DVD_VIDEO_RECORDER
1.0GB udf

Usage: Filesystem
Type: Universal Disk Format
Label: DVD_VIDEO_RECORDER
"

Does an application exist for Debian 6, that allows access to these 
discs, and, that allows users to view the recorced video files, on a 
computer running Debian 6?


Whilst the open/close button on the drive, does not allow me to eject 
the disc, until I use the Disk Utility option to "Unmount the media", 
apparently, all that I can do with the disc, is insert it, using the 
Open/Close physical button on the drive, and then unmount the disk, top 
eject it, but I apparently, cannot read the disc.


Looking in Synaptic (searching on "universal disk format"), returns 
three results, and the closest, most applicable result, seems to be the 
package udftools, which has the package description


"
tools for UDF filesystems and DVD/CD-R(W) drives

This package contains a number of user-space tools related to
creating filesystems in the UDF (Universal Disk Format), which is
primarily used for DVDs, but sometimes also CD-ROMs:

 mkudffs - Format a device, creating an empty UDF filesystem
 cdrwtool - Low-level drive management (e.g. set writing speed, format)
 pktsetup - Set up a packet writing device (/dev/pktcdvd0) for a drive
 wrudf - Maintains a UDF filesystem (undocumented)
"

So, whilst a utility appears to exist, for creatung a UDF filesystem, 
for Debian 6, apparently, UDF files and UDF fylkesystems cannot be read 
by Debian 6.


Is this correct?

Thank you in anticipation.

Sorry, I don't know whether it's the "Debian way". I read some
TUG's documents about testing the texlive installtion on
http://tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-390003.5,


"After installing TEX Live as best you can, you naturally want to test it out,
so you can start creating beautiful documents and/or fonts."
(...)

If you have installed the xetex package, you can test its access to
system fonts as follows:

> xetex opentype-info.tex
This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926…
...
Output written on opentype-info.pdf (1 page).
Transcript written on opentype-info.log.

If you get an error message saying “Invalid fontname ‘Latin Modern Roman/ICU’…”,
then you need to configure your system so that XeTEX can find
the fonts shipped with TEX Live. See Section 3.4.4.
(...)

and I try it myself. All test passed except xetex. I am confused with
that though I can use
xelatex access some system fonts (eg: AR PL UMing CN, Liberation serif).
May be its a bug because when I add some lines to ~/.fonts.conf, the
test for xetex will pass.
Sorry, my English is not so good!

packet loss after Lenny Squeeze upgrade

[Bonno Bloksma]

Hi,

I have a Debian server (hardware HP DL360) which I use for internal routing and 
which uses NAT to isolate a part of my network.
This machine has been routing for the past few years without any problems but 
lately there is a lot of packet loss for the traffic going to/through that 
server.

What has changed in Debian that could cause this and what can I tweak to get 
things going again?
What do I need to look at?

The server hardware does not seem to be the limiting factor, cpu is a max 10%, 
memory seems to be ok.

The install target in the rules file will install all the files into
your hierarchy. You don't place directly the files into the system, but
install them under the DESTDIR variable, where the package scripts will
find them. Here you have some tips:

The release notes for Squeeze already refer to apt-get rather than
aptitude. From my point of view, during a specific timeframe around
2008, aptitude was technically superior, but since apt-get has caught
up, it appears to be the preferred choice.

Neither one will print more than the last ten lines of kernel output at

Either tail -f /var/log/syslog or run something like 'watch "dmesg |

aptitude full-upgrade is the equivalent of apt-get dist-upgrade.  aptitude 
safe-upgrade has different checks.

Should'nt it be written:

run "dmesg | tail -f"  ?

upgrade to Wheezy fails with aptitude

[Pierre Frenkiel]

hi,
I wanted to upgrade from Squeeze to Wheezy, and as I saw in several places
that aptitude should be preferred to apt-get,  I first tried with it.
I started with only 1 line in sources.list:
deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
and tried several times  "aptitude safe-upgrade"
Each time, aptitude stayed indefinitely on "resolving dependencies" and did
nothing else.
I then issued: "apt-get dist-upgrade", and all worked perfectly, in less
than 30 minutes.

My question: is it better to also revert to apt-get for package management,
or is the problem specific to the upgrade to a new release?

regards,

You might want to check if the sd card is still readable; if it isn't, 
it was corrupted by being removed whilst the system was still writing 
data to it; will need to be re formatted.

Before you suggest, I didn't put the mount -t vfat etc command in fstab

I've got a feeling if you put 'users' on the fstab line it will cure 
that, & anyone in the 'users' group should be able to mount it.

Ahem...  'lspci | grep -i eth' is good but 'lspci -v' is paragraph

is easiest.

for the shake of completesness

lspci -v | grep -A5 -i eth

or the even easier
lspci -v | grep -5 -i eth

[严海东]

I have solved it.
As Juan Sierra Pons mentioned,I echo $http_proxy in the teminal and

It is seted by gnome, and can be reset in system
settting->networking->network proxy.

man wget  :-)

it seems just like your dns is preventing you to grab some porno stuff by
pointing to a local invalid address.
you should not be able to browse that site, have a try.
moreover, if you are on a multiuser box look (if you can) for a line
starting with 0.0.010 in your /etc/hosts
