Huh. Whadya know. I loaded Wheezy 64-bit and the same problem occurred. 
Connected the system directly to the network interface and the problem 
vanished. Connected it directly to the IPCop firewall's GREEN and the problem 
was still gone. Put the wiring back to normal and the problem still made no 
appearance. I'll chalk it up to a glitch in the DLink DES 1024D switch. (Or 
maybe IPCop, but I *thought* I'd rebooted the firewall once.

Thanks!

i had checked with echo that $id indeed output a id and running

if i put the id value exactly as output of "/opt/zimbra/bin/mysql -e
'use zimbra;select id,comment from mailbox;' | grep $username | cut -f
1", it worked

what else could should i look for?

Re: Re: Is the a 'contrarian' Debian install available?

[Paul Condon]

I think I have also read somewhere that netinst is a minimal system that 
is capable of hardly anything, except downloading and installing more 
packages from a mirror on the web. For this to
be true in any meaningful sense, I had always assumed that it is capable 
of booting from hard disk.
And Tom is finding that his install is not capable of doing that. The 
sequence of events for a netinst type install is that at some point 
*before* the CD is popped out, the grub boot program is written to the 
MBR space on the hard disk. Then after rebooting you are offered the 
tasksel dialog to specify what you want installed into the final system.


OTOH, if you use businesscard, you do your tasksel before popping out 
the CD, because, I suppose,
the businesscard install is not capable of booting from what it has 
written onto the HD, just as a 'live' disk does not automatically write 
itself onto the HD. But Tom never said anything about the properties of 
businesscard, or about using businesscard in his experiments.


If I have recalled incorrectly, and the netinstall CD does ask for 
tasksel selection before popping out the CD, then there is very little 
observable  difference between the two. (Also, not something
that Tom expressed an interest in. ) And, perhaps both install systems 
that are incapable of booting from HD. That is very minimal, indeed.


I really am not sure. All my 'facts' are hardly more than vague 
recollections of reading stuff.

LUKS question

[yudi v]

Hi,

I have a laptop with the entire harddrive encrypted with LUKS. Are
there any precautions I need to take before moving this harddrive to
another machine and booting from it. The only precaution suggested on
LUKS FAQ is to back up the header. I have done that.

This shows sustained short duration transfer rates of 78MB/s and 91MB/s.
 That's not bad, but can be higher.  With good NICs, proper TCP tuning,
and jumbo frames, you should be able to hit a theoretical peak of around
117MB/s, or 936Mb/s.  That's about the limit after all the protocol
overhead.  And this assumes your PCI/e bus, mobo chipset, and host CPU
are up to the task.

These test numbers are a bit meaningless in real world use however, as
most of your iSCSI/CIFS/etc traffic will comprise concurrent small IOs,
transactional in nature, as is the case with the vast majority of server
workloads.

So instead concentrating on your raw point-to-point GbE bandwidth, you
need to concentrate on the IO latency of your iSCSI and virtualization
servers.  Maximizing the random IO performance of these systems will do
far more for overall network performance than spending countless hours
trying to maximize point-to-point GbE throughput.

One of the few applications requiring long duration throughput is
network based backup.  And even in this case you're not streaming large
files, but typically many small files.  So again, system latency is a
bigger factor than throughput.

And in the event you do find yourself transferring vary large files on a
regular basis, and need max throughput, it's most often much easier to
attain that throughput using LACP with two NICs than to spend days/weeks
attempting to maximize the performance of a single NIC.

No. But but you did say daily updates are silly. Which implies updates
at another (completely unspecified interval) are better.

I've never found debian-devel to be the best of guides for updating. Not
that it may not be useful but I think you are rather over-egging its
authoritive status.

/etc/bash.bashrc instead ~/.bashrc

[José Luis Segura Lucas]

Hi all!

I have several computers with Debian installed. In all of them I have
unstable with, in some cases, some experimental packages.

In one (and only one) of then, when I open a terminal or connect by SSH,
my bash load the default system configuration from /etc/bash.bashrc,
instead of reading, as usual, ~/.bashrc.

I can think that I don't really have a ~/.bashrc (or have a mispelling
on the file name), but if I run bash from the terminal, my configuration
file in ~/.bashrc is loaded.

I add an "echo" on each files before sending you my problem to check
that the problem is the configuration file and not only a possible
misconfiguration on my ~/.bashrc file.

I tried with different users and all of them loads the same
configuration file (/etc/bash.bashrc). I didn't found any difference
between this /etc/bash.bashrc and my other /etc/bash.bashrc in my other
Debian installations...

Is there any other place where bash is configured and tell it to load
one config file or another?

I don't know what to do to fix this problem... any help will be very
appreciated.

Thanks in advance

But in order to isolate them, you first have to find them. And
routinely running a sid system is by far the best way to find as many
bugs as possible, which can then be reported and, if necessary, block
the transition to testing.

This is more or less obviously absolute bullshit. Running sid,

help testing, especially since reporting these bugs early might even
stop the package from migrating to testing, keeping it release

Out of the maelstom of Sid is born stable.

Living in its turblent environment is not for the faint hearted. John
Hasler manages it very well and has no complaints. Others, like me,
stumble along but eventually see the light and eventually adapt to its

You miss the point of sid. It's not a distribution the way Wheezy is. 
It's a place to put packages for testing before they enter into the 
general testing pool. Testing against sid is almost useless when you 
really want to know if the package is ready for Wheezy.


If you run into a problem with a package from sid, you can say it 
doesn't work with Wheezy. However, if your system is entirely sid, all 
you can say it that it's not compatible with other sid packages. Since 
those packages haven't been vetted for the next release, the problem 
could be anywhere.


Basic rule of problem resolution is change one thing at a time. When 
you're running sid, everything changes all the time.

Daily and/or automatic updates when running Sid are silly because sooner
or later they will get you in trouble.

When running Sid you must read both debian-devel and debian-security.

-devel will warn you about breakages and transitions so that you will
 know when and when not to upgrade.  -security is obvious.

What file? You mean the .ttf font? :-?

When I open "symbol.ttf" from MC I see "The Monotype Corporation plc/Time 
Solutions Inc. 1990-1992. All Rights ReservedSymbolRegular... blah, blah"

Well, as I already explained, the same TrueType font works well in Wheezy 
so to my eyes is not the font that is a menace but a bug located 
elsewhere in both Squeeze and Lenny :-)

"Module rewrite already enabled"

(I didn't do the restart.) 

In the admin state, the edit button finds the posts fine -- there's 
only a single 'blog/ in the URL to post.php, with a request to edit 
it and a "post=". In view, the repeat of the blog/ shows up again 
in a URL that looks like a directory that looks like an archive.

Do you know what piece of the PHP is creating this wrong URL? Is WP 
supposed to have created a directory called 'blog/', and my config 
is somehow confusing it? Would it be worth the time and effort to 
change /var/www/blog to something else (I tried that, and WP didn't 
care for it -- I needed some other changes that I don't know about...)

I wonder whether it is. His has "Copyright URW Software, Copyright 1997
by URW" in the file.

This font is menace on a Debian system. As both of you have found out it
needs to be put somewhere where fontconfig does not look. Examining it
with fontforge reveals the unicode values for the glyphs are incorrect.
Not that the GPL version of the same font in wine has anything to boast

That can be if you stick to the stable repo but using a testing package 
can even break not only you Eclipse installation (remember that testing 
packages update very often...) but badly messing up with system packages/
libraries because of dependencies. I mean, just be very cautius with the 
repository priorities when feeding from both sources.

Yes, I'll do that as a fallback, but installing packages the manual way
looses all the advantages of the package management system. Let's say
that's an exercise to learn how to use apt along the way, though
I actually need the newer version.

Nice. 

But I still prefer to get the packages directly from Mozilla site,

Not sure about the steps you did but what solved the problem for me was 
renaming/moving MS TrueType Symbol font from "/usr/local/share/fonts/" 
thus forcing the system to use another one.

I don't think this is something related to font-manager :-?

The behaviour you get is similar to mine, despite in my case the source

Always, always, always... some recommendations are good in theory but not 
that good when you put in practice :-P

- I learned the gs command to repair pdfs. 

By reinjecting/embedding the fonts, that's indeed a good trick when you 
have no access to the original document.

- ttf files not only help displaying fonts, they can also break it.

This is not because of TTF but a bug coming from a different place (in 
wheezy the problem is not present even using symbol.ttf).

Re: wordpress, again

[Miles Fidelman]

Glenn,

I notice you're still having problems, so, for what it's worth

I've had Wordpress running on Debian, with Apache for years, and 
recently did a reinstall after getting hacked.  Here's the step by step 
that I jotted down:


0. Caveat, this is running under Lenny, in a Xen VM - that shouldn't 
effect anything, but you never know:


1. Prerequisites
- apache w/ mod_rewrite, php, mysql - all installed from Debian packages 
with apt

- running as www:www

2. Set up DNS records for site

3. Download and install Wordpress (I've never had any luck with the 
packaged version)

- as root
cd /var

wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz

mv wordpress gd


- seemed to untar as www-data:www-data, but you may need to

chmod -R www-data:www-data ./



4. Set up database using mysqladmin (note: php_myadmin makes things 
slightly easier)


mysql -p 

CREATE DATABASE ;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON .* to @localhost IDENTIFIED BY 
'';


FLUSH PRIVILEGES;


4.  Set up Apache

--- my /etc/apache2/sites/ file (note: provides both http: 
and https: access) ---

--- note: needs to have your site's info inserted

Yes. No virtuals and everything is in the MySQL files and /usr/share... 
/var/www/blog is completely empty. 

I've got virtual websites on the 'real' server. This is a new server, 
on the DMZ, but isolated from the main servers -- I'm trying to do a 
favor for a friend who wants to move his website from HTML to WP.

I've been running pure Sid since it was invented.  Works fine.  Of

Re: fonts used by evince

[Paul Seyfert]

Okay,
I don't precisely know what fixed it but now the font is correctly
displayed for me. deleting files from /usr/share/fonts/ somewhat brought
unreproducible results. I started font-manager (which I believed to be
inactive since I commented out the corresponding entries in
~/.fonts.conf). In debuging earlier I added the symbol.ttf which comes
with cernroot to the user fonts of the font-manager (didn't help back then).
Now I removed symbol.ttf from the font manager and restored
/usr/share/fonts to how my standard package installation prepared it.
Now the plot gets displayed correctly.

my conclusion:
- no idea what went wrong before I installed font-manager
- symbol.ttf which comes with cernroot is behaving strangely
  using it for displaying causes wrong displaying of non embedded greek
  letters.
- if you create pdfs always embed fonts
- I learned the gs command to repair pdfs.
- ttf files not only help displaying fonts, they can also break it.

Thanks for all suggestions,
Paul

Most of the Debian mailing lists are open, meaning there's no need for 
users who want to post to be subscribed.

To receive/read the other users replies you can:

a) Subscribe to get a copy of every single post in your inbox
b) Read the mailing list using a newsreader

If you are subscribed you should receive an e-mail so if you get nothing 
something is going wrong and would need further investigation.

For the rest of the article I share most of your feelings but won't

Bad old bios.  Very bad.  It was designed for 8080s and floppy disks.
It was excellent for that environment but it has been obsolete for
decades.

UEFI is not evil (though Coreboot is better), and there is a lot more to
it than the signing stuff.  Even the latter is not intrinsically evil:
it all depends on the implementation.

Just a quick note on this... The above should be used (according to the

ping on the above. For people who have not seen the bug here it's in
short and sweet.

This is my device list :-

$ aplay -l
 List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices 
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: VT1705 Analog [VT1705 Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 2: VT1705 HP [VT1705 HP]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

This is the error I get whenever I'm trying to play any sound.

$ aplay -D plughw:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
aplay: main:682: audio open error: Device or resource busy

Any ideas as to what could be making that device/resource busy ?

I used an oldish kernel but still the issue remained, now on the
current version for sid.

$ apt-show-versions -a linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64
linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 3.2.20-1 install ok installed

Add your comments in the mentioned bug report so the packager can confirm 
there's still a problem and corrects it or uploads a new version.

You mean a real traslator (such as Google Translator)? Is that's so I 
think that at least "stardict" can do it when using an Internet

Can't tell... there should be no need for you tweak that file unless you 
are playing with testing/sid standard repositories along with stable's :-?

Anyway, I think priorities "per se" should not enforce the removal of a 
package, there has to be another reason for aptitute telling you about 
removing 13 packages.

So "imap-server" is the one making noise here, right? 

Lets see what the packaging guidelines have to say in this respect:

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html

I would contact the Cyrus package maintainers and ask them about this. 
The "conflict" flag in cyrus seems too restrictive (although "courier-
imap" also has it), but maybe there's a strong reason for it we can't 
see :-?

This messages is because your Exim4 is still configured to use ipv6, but

Yes. Okay, it seems your Exim4 is delivering (even the local messages?) 
to Gmail, and you will have to discover why happens so because the 
default Exim4 installation is not configured that way. 

What did you do? Maybe something like this? :-?

http://wiki.debian.org/GmailAndExim4

You know (or should know) that Exim4 can be configured for different 
roles based on your needs, you have more info here:

So i have written a brief post about UEFI, Canonical and Microsoft over
here -
http://harshad.wordpress.com/2012/06/22/the-ghost-of-uefi-and-micr00ft/

Canonical too has some plans for UEFI..experts can find the link in blog

Please post your views so that i can get to know what debian and FOSS
policies are about UEFI, BIOS and Grub 2. Or you can directly mail me your
thoughts.

i was reading this article -  http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/12368.html

It is written by someone related to redhat and it describes implementing
UEFI secure boot in Fedora Core.

Lot of PC/laptop/tablets in 2012 and beyond will have UEFI instead of good
old bios.

I want to know what Debian is planning to do and how it will thwart this
potential threat to opensource software and now hardware architecture.

Will Debian community fight against this evil step taken by computer makers
?

All idea of opensource is not open unless we have access to open hardware
architecture.

ok i am pasting above lines in /etc/sysctl.conf  with out reading much
since i am testing, i'll read the details later. ill update you the
results shortly.

I remember at least one method to enter accented characters in a text
console, it's the same as in Windows:

Keep Alt pressed while entering the decimal code in the numerical
keypad.

For example, Alt + 246 produces ö.  It works here (Wheezy).
Codes can be found in the manpage of iso-8859-1.

There are probably better ways, but I don't remember them at the moment.




Wait! You said 'numerical keypad' and I missed that the first time, and 
that *does* work! Thanks!

Those lines mean that your transfer wasn't stable (due to networking
or your hardware). In the first lune you see that the test took 10s
(0.0-10.0 sec) and iptraf transfered 1.11GBytes so it's 963Mbit/s. The
second line is the same test but in the other way (due to "-r" option
in iptraf). It can tell you that either one PC is sending the data way
slower or the other is receiving it slower than the other one or maybe
that just your network isn't just that stable to sustain 1gbps
throughput for a longer time.

To get more reliable results use -t 60 to test for 60 seconds and with
-i you can change the reports interval i.e. to "1".

 That may be intended. I don't think Debian (out of the box) allows root
 to log in at all. Instead, you're expected to log in as an unprivileged
 user and then 'upgrade' to root (via sudo - which takes THAT USER'S
 password).

If you don't set a root password in d-i, you end up with a "sudo
system" like OS X and Ubuntu. There's no fiddling to enable root; you
simply run "sudo passed" and set a password for root.

Debian has "PermitRootLogin yes" by default in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config"
so you can login via ssh as root (if root is enabled).

With "sudo -s" and "sudo -i" available, you're never without root login.

Good idea. Unfortunately doesn't work here (also Wheezy).

So you can get about 700Mbps of TCP traffic and ideally 953Mbit of UDP
traffic. Try tuning your server-client applications and those sysctl
parameters which I posted you in my first reply.

Try using -u or f.i. -w 2M with TCP.
But your results are quite good already.

git over smart-http; how to check /refs/heads/master

[J. Bakshi]

Dear list,

I am trying to make a pre-receive hook which can check /refs/heads/master
and based on the user name it allow/deny push to master. The git is configured 
over
smart-http here. So from apache log ; during push I can see


"GET /git/test.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 448 "-" 
"git/1.7.10"
"POST /git/test.git/git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 329 "-" "git/1.7.10"

`

How can I then check /refs/heads/master here ?

For me this happens, for example, with numbers, which are different in

Not so inadvertantly, I think. I'll shoulder some of the responsibility
for not insisting on /etc/issue being posted and not querying the wisdom
of upgrading from what appears to be a 2006 Gnome.

ACK. It looks like the OP (inadvertantly?) tried to do something that is
not supported (skip a release) and more or less broke his system. An
experienced user would probably be able to fix it, but doing that
remotely via a mailing list is painful.

You tried 'apt-get -f install'?

At this stage you might ask youself whether the time and frustration
involved in upgrading from something which is pre-Lenny is really worth
it. Is there any practical reason why you should not do a new Squeeze
install?

If it were me in your situation I'd probably start by looking at what is
on the system now and installing dpkg and its dependencies by hand using
'dpkg -i'. Others might counsel aptitude. Either way it could involve a
a lot more effort from you and us than a new install.

The outpur is given bellow:-

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 dpkg: PreDepends: libc6 (>= 2.6) but 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7 is to be installed
   PreDepends: xz-utils but it is not going to be installed
 locales: Depends: glibc-2.11-1

So, it seems the version of dpkg that is currently installed doesn't

I suggest that you first upgrade dpkg:

apt-get install dpkg

which should pull in the new version, then you can continue with an

Before you even progress to the things below, you must run iperf to
obtain a maximum baseline performance.  That is the measure of your TCP
transmit/receive throughout.  Then you know what you target maximum is
when you tune these other things.

With reference to the Bruno point. he says it could be the bottleneck
on HD end regardless of what size of ram or Processor are we using. so
my question is have you tested
this on RAID 1?
 as i believe read right will highly effect the performance,

Second question is have you tested this on common SATA drives?

3. are you using Linux iSCSI or other sharing methods like FTP, SAMBA
etc. and if yes then how reliable iSCSI could be since i have a bit
bad experience with openfiler and iSCSI connection with XP Clients. so
i want to ask your opinion.

4. and the test results that you have shown are only tests or you are
working on it in productions (you know reliability is also some thing
that i need to know as i am going to be trying this in production)

5. would you please share some details of you SAN BOX
   like HARDWARE and OS level.

Thanks
