wine-utils progress to find .
Good time of the day.
I have such a case w/ *wine* upgrade - and it is for about a week that
the packages are held back:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libwine-bin{a} [1.2.3-0.3] libwine-gecko-unstable{a} [1.0.0+dfsg-1.1]
The following packages will be upgraded:
libwine [1.0.1-3.1 -> 1.2.3-0.3] libwine-alsa [1.0.1-3.1 ->
1.2.3-0.3] libwine-gl [1.0.1-3.1 -> 1.2.3-0.3] wine-bin [1.0.1-3.1 ->
1.2.3-0.3] 4 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0
not upgraded. Need to get 26.9 MB of archives. After unpacking 62.9 MB
will be used. The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wine-utils : Depends: libwine (= 1.0.1-3.1) but 1.2.3-0.3 is to be
installed. Depends: wine-bin (= 1.0.1-3.1) but 1.2.3-0.3 is to be
installed. The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
1) wine-utils
So I went to
http://packages.qa.debian.org
to check whither the
wine-utils
package come soon out or not to wheezy. But on search for the package
I've got progress info. on wine source package instead of this
particular package.
So, how I can find out the progress on wine-utils package?
Thanks for Your time.

what did hwinfo do to my machine?
After I ran hwinfo (to detect a modem), my machine runs very slowly at the beginning of booting. (GRUB takes about 8 seconds between displaying the the "Welcome to GRUB!" text and the "error: fd0 read error." text, and another 25 seconds for the screen to go blank on the way to displaying the menu. Kernel booting might be slow for the first dozen or so messages; after that, everything seems to be fine.) What the heck did hwinfo do to my machine? I thought hwinfo's probing changed some BIOS setting that maybe slowed down the CPU, but I reset the BIOS to default and re-set what I had set before, but that didn't seem to make any difference. Now I wonder if hwinfo changed some persistent setting in my disks. What tools are there to look at any settings of SATA disks? (This is all in Squeeze.)

Free Speech, Privacy and Technology Article Follow-Up
Hi There, I wanted to follow up with you about an email I sent a couple weeks ago asking if you wanted to read an article I recently wrote for an educational project of mine. The article discusses the amazingly complex and highly interesting relationship between technological advancement and law. In particular, the article covers issues related to personal privacy and free speech. I had contacted you initially because I thought you might be interested in reading it. Please let me know if you would like to take a look at it and I will send it to you for your perusal.

Did it include any steps similar to those described here? "FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary The kernel source tree includes a number of firmware 'blobs' which are used by various drivers. The recommended way to use these is to run "make firmware_install" and to copy the resulting binary files created in usr/lib/firmware directory of the kernel tree to the /lib/firmware on your system so that they can be loaded by userspace helpers on request. Enabling this option will build each required firmware blob into the kernel directly, where request_firmware() will find them without having to call out to userspace. This may be useful if your root file system requires a device which uses such firmware, and do not wish to use an initrd. This single option controls the inclusion of firmware for every driver which uses request_firmware() and ships its firmware in the kernel source tree, to avoid a proliferation of 'Include firmware for xxx device' options." If the realtek firmware is being loaded you'll see an entry stating so in dmesg. Post any/all lines of your dmesg output containing Realtek. My guess is there are manual steps involved here and that you didn't read all the necessary documentation to accomplish what you're attempting, and that the firmware isn't actually being loaded as a result. Problems such as this are one of the many reasons I build my own kernels from vanilla source. I select FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL in my .config. In addition to the benefits described above, it completely eliminates the issue you're having, as all the Realtek firmware are included in the latest kernel sources, and get built into the kernel itself. The amount of bytes this consumes in the kernel is tiny. Note there is no valid technical reason why Debian doesn't include any/all firmware blobs in its kernels. If they did you wouldn't be monkeying with this. They are not included due to GPL political reasons. For some reason Realtek does not have a consistent policy WRT releasing their firmware under the GPL and/or in a timely manner. Thus some/many of their devices end up without support in Debian. Some commercial Linux distros include all firmware specifically so their users don't have to jump through these hoops to get a NIC working. Even with these warts I still prefer Debian. I just do quite a bit of customization to get what I want/need out of it. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Troubleshooting Debian
Greetings all! I know this will be a rather difficult thing to answer I think, but are there any generic steps listed somewhere on how to troublehshoot a problem on a Debian/Linux system? I understand that each problem can be rather unique on how you approach it but I have yet to see a kind of flow-chart or at least some guidelines (did a quick search of the Debian FAQ and the LDP) and nothing was immediately obvious. I was kinda looking for a: 1/ Check logs. Insert ways to check various logs (both CLI and GUI) 2/ Type commands (for networks use command A, for video use command B, for) Right now, and perhaps the only method, is to plunk in any error message (when I know there are any) into Google and hopefully a solution appears that works for Debian. Obviously a lot of Ubuntu results show up but given my limited knowledge on the difference, I am not yet qualified enough to know whether it will work without causing more complications. I am aware of the various channels of help (i.e. this list, IRC, the base websites) but was hoping someone may have outlined more steps so that I can learn as much as possible without having to wait for someone to reply.

Realtek RTL8188CE Wireless Card
I recently bought a System76 Pangolin laptop. It had Ubuntu preinstalled on it but I decided that I wanted the stability of Debian Squeeze. I quickly realized that Squeeze doesn't support the wireless card that the laptop has, which is a Realtek RTL8188CE card. I have searched google for a solution to no avail. Here is what I have tried so far... - Installed the current Linux kernel backport - Installed the firmware-realtek package - Download and install the driver from Realtek's website After downloading and installing the backport kernel and firmware-realtek packages, I restarted the laptop to find the wireless still did not work. I looked at the output from dmesg and found and error message complaining that it could not find the firmware. I then tried Realtek's website to find errors when trying to compile the kernel modules. I hope someone can assist me with this problem. Thanks

Well, as soon as I solve one problem another one pops up. Running Linux is like playing whack-a-mole. For some reason the sl-modem-daemon on my system has started forcing the phone line off-hook at all times. This means it will cause the phone line to shut down until you disconnect the phone wire to let the system reset. I don't recall changing anything about the sl-modem-daemon, or even the sound system.

Problem with kernel patching
Hello, I have a problem with patching kernel 2.6-2.6.32. I'm trying to add PVUSB [1] support in Xen. According to [1] I should add a patch [2] to kernel. I was trying to do it with steps described in [3]. I had to make some changes in the patch file because in the meantime some other changes appeared. After my changes the patch file looks like [4]. When I try to execute "make -f debian/rules source-all" it fails at applying my patch stage. The errors appearing until I add "a/" i "b/" prefixes at lines 2, 3, 2045, 2046, 2060, 2061,4390 and 4391. I'm not sure what is the purpose of using it there. Now it goes without any errors, but the files which should be modified, remain intact, and that's my problem actually. I can't figure out why it happens. I will be grateful for any help.

No, no, no... I mean, don't do that manually, use "udev" rules as the
forum post states, just don't read the instruction so literally, try to
mimic what it says but making your own conclusions.

There has to be a file ("/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules") in your
system (this file in included within the package "libsane"), you only
have to make the modifications in there as the post says. If you already
did it so, please post here (or upload elsewhere) the full content of
that file so we can check.

epson printer prints WHITE PAGE !!!
Dear list, I have a epson C20SX parallel printer. I have bought a parallel to usb cable so that I can use it with my laptop. After connecting the cable I have seen the new H/W has been detected. From lsusb ` Bus 001 Device 069: ID 067b:2305 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2305 Parallel Port ``` And the node has created as /dev/usb/lp1 crw-rw---T 1 root lp 180, 1 Jun 2 22:45 /dev/usb/lp1 Now I have checked by both cups and system-config-printer; which detected an unknown printer. But not the printer model. Hence I have selected the printer model and from its database the driver i.e. "epson stylus C20Sx" . Unfortunately both the application prints blank test pages.

So you look for a racked cabinet? 19" chasis are quite huge and lengthy but if have the required space, they're perfect when it comes to put your hands on them (adding cards, removing cables, changing the power supply is a child's play...) :-) Also, remember that depending on the racked height (<=2U) you will have to search for low-profile/half-height PCI cards. > If a huge case is nearly empty, doesn't it tend to be an acoustic > resonator?

They are strict because they have to be so. If you need an unpriviledged user to run webalizer to manually update the web stats you better find a differenet way for doing it, for instance, by adding a secondary directory where to send the user logs with relaxed permission (only available for that user and password protected) or using/ configuring sudo to allow that user to run the webalizer binary so he can execute the script without altering the directory perms.

It's not "xsane" but the Canon scanning program ("scangearmp"), try with
that.

But you don't have to follow the instructions "word by word" but
understanding what the problem can be and adapt the same idea to your
Squeeze system.
Also, don't stick to xsane, use the Canon app and also try with Gimp.

Two reasons: 1. My ISP can get mad if I send too much data up through my connection, complaining that I'm "running services". If I throttle the upload, it's not an issue. 2. If we lose connection for some reason, the download does not have to restart! At least with Woof, I believe that that would be necessary. Plus GPG is awesome! I may use GPG with one of the other "make a file available for download" methods in the event that the other person can be expected to decrypt it! :) -- Aubrey "There are two types of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data." signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Making a file available would be perfectly all right; this is probably what I *should* have meant by one person "--listening" and the other connecting to the listening machine, but have it be "--listening" as in waiting for a request for download.

The audio rack must have an open front and open back. If it has a back panel, simply remove it. If you'd rather not remove it permanently, simply remove it, cut out a rectangle the size of the RM chassis with a Rotozip, Fein multitool, jigsaw, etc, so the exhaust air can escape.
