Printer Sharing

[Gábor Hársfalvi]

Hello,

I have a Debian Squeeze with a Samsung SCX-4300 usb printer.

How to share this with other Linux and windows systems?

Thanks

Don't really know. Possibly, by making partition shorter and then moving. 
Never had to do this.

I have never set up RAID at install time. My exprience is only with moving 
existing system to RAID using additional disk and moving that same system to 
new 
mirror. 
But if it automatically sets up system like this, then it should account as 
a bug in installer - AFAIK.

Maybe, the problem lies with Verizon and their systems.  Have you
contacted tech support about it?

I don't see include.load mentioned there. My previous response:

That will just create a symlink in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled from
/etc/apache2/mods-available/include.load - so you can easily check that
too, and/or create the symlink manually if required.

You need to reload (or even restart?) apache after that, of course
(which a2enmod will tell you).

   I am no GRUB expert...but it seems to me you should boot the 
machine..get into a root terminal and run update-grub.

Or you can boot into rescue mode and do the same thing.

Yes I can get there using iceweasel, but the problem was (is) they are
not working in /etc/apt/sources.list.  Which is what this thread was about.

Try right clicking on the top panel. Choose "add to panel" and scroll
down to "main menu". click on that and see if it works.

Note I made the point, before you, that MIPS and ARM are different
beasts.  The point I was making above is that grub2 will never be
universal for all Linux platforms, thus there's no need for all distros
to use only grub2 for x86.  And since there are no LILO/Linux
limitations on x86, "LILO could be used basically forever".

> As for UEFI - we'll see what the future holds.

Yes, this will be interesting to watch.  What we'll see in the immediate
future is more mobos with switchable UEFI/legacy BIOS support.  Whether
UEFI will completely takeover is the question, and if so, when?

If you just want to check that everything is working, type 
http://ftp.debian.org/debian
into a browser window.

If DNS were faulty, that too would fail, and you will find that it does not.

Which results?

You did

   fping  http://ftp.debian.org/debian

and

   host  http://ftp.debian.org/

In both cases you got 'not found' because you used the commands
inorrectly. You do not have a DND problem.  What is confusing about that?

Google (or Iceweasel, or any other application) will resolve the address
for ftp.debian.org because it knows it is the the right thing to do.
Please follow in their footsteps.

I am using a Verizon MiFi to connect to the net and have no idea which
DNS records are being used. I do know that with only the Verizon address
I sometime have long waits while connecting. I don't see how that would
matter because all of the network files on all 6 distros are exactly the
same and the problem does no exist in Testing or Sid

Hardly, because LILO depends on a BIOS.  And it's written in x86
assembly, so not even buildable on these architectures.

As for UEFI - we'll see what the future holds.

I use OpenDNS exclusively, and have for about 6 years.

   http://www.opendns.com/

Never had any major problems.

I'm running Wheezy 64-bit, and access the Internet through a stand-alone
router (Trendnet TEW-432BRP) where the DNS addresses are set.  The
System only has the gateway address of the router, and I use the
router's built-in DHCP to assign the local network addresses, whether
wired or wireless.  Never any problems.

I installed Wheezy with the Beta Installer a few months ago, updated &
dist-upgraded it regularly to Stable status.  Never any issues.

FWIW, my system isn't a standard install.  I did a Base install off the
NetInstall CD, then added feature by feature, app by app to get what I
wanted. Don't use a desktop environment, i.e. GNOME, KDE, XFCE, etc.,
just a window manager--Openbox--LXPanel and Debian Menu.  Have no
session or login manager:  Just boot to a terminal, login, startx.  The
hardware it runs on is 1 to 7 years old, depending on which piece of
hardware. I initially custom built it in Dec 2006, but have added and
changed hardware since then including replacing the motherboard about 3
years ago.  The original suddenly failed.

Well, something is wrong.  Do you have the same problem whether you're
using your ISP's or Google's DNS?  Are you running your own router
software or do you use a stand-alone like I do?  Dynamic or Static IP?

No Proxy here and I am using my providers DNS Server as well as Google
8.8.8.8 & 4.4.4.4

It is not my firewall causing this problem.Using arno-iptables-firewall
on 6 dist's, 3 wheezy, 1 Testing & 1 Sid.  The DNS problems are only on
the 3 Wheezy dists.  The Oldest wheezy dist was installed when Squeeze
went stable and it was not having this problem until Wheezy went stable.


I don't know if the problem was in Squeeze or not.  I seldom used it as
it had problems with X so my primary dist wad Wheezy.


Thanks, again, for the reply though.

I may even have been injudicious. Either way we both have been lax. You

Nope. Because I didn't see it. As mentioned in my .sig, my domain was
unavailable for about 12 hours. Apparently the Debian list server doesn't
retry, so I didn't see any messages sent during that time. That's also why I
reposted, for which I apologize. I'll check the list archive for Richard's

Probably, as you mentioned previously, a DNS problem.  I would contact
the hosting service about it, or switch to a new one.  A few years ago
I was having DNS problems.  I was using my ISP's DNS servers.  So, I
switched to another, a free one:  Problems went away.

Do you use a proxy?  Do you have this problem with any other sites?
 Check your firewall, too. It could be blocking the Debian sites.

I solved this way:

2 - install debian lenny and old postgres on the virtual machine
3 - copy directory postgres-data from backup in virtual machine
4 - recovered data dump
5- install dump data on new postgres
6- create user e pass for database

Thank you all for the help.

Two things -

Did you follow check Richard's advice in his response to your previous 
asking of this question?  Since you have the AddHandler in a
 block, you also need the mime module loaded.  What 
do you have in your /etc/apache2/mods-enabled directory?


Are you using .shtml as the extension to your file?

Re: amd64 debian wheezy installation: software raid: partition misaligned by 512 bytes

Ok, so any way to fix that now? Without reinstalling everything? Any way to
move the partitiions?

Also, I don't remember creating these md partitions. The installer does
that by default? I should do that part manually during installation? But I
didn't see that option in the installer...

The following works for me. Messages are decrypted/verified on access.
If I don't have the key in my keyring, it's fetched from the keyserver.

---8<--- ~/.muttrc ---8<---
set pgp_use_gpg_agent = yes # Use GPG agent, if possible
# Allows for secure/gui key entry
set php_auto_decode = yes   # Check for traditional PGP
---8<--- ~/.muttrc ---8<---

---8<--- ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf ---8<---
keyserver hkp://keyserver.example.org   # Use "host -l pgp.net |grep www"

keyserver-options auto-retrieve # Fetch keys from the keyserver
keyserver-options import-clean
import-options import-clean # Remove unusable self-sigs
---8<--- ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf ---8<---

(Hopefully) obviously, the imported signatures won't be trusted. So you
can't trust that the message was signed by the author, but you can trust
that it wasn't tampered with on the way from whoever signed it to you.

/dev/md? devices themselves were aligned properly, but you also created 
partitions inside md devices. And those partitions are not aligned properly 
anymore. So they are aligned now to 1 MiB+63sectors instead of 1 MiB.
In your case, you should have used those md devices without any additional 
partition  tables (since you only created one partition on them anyway). Or you 
should have aligned those partitons same way the original sdisk partitions were 
aligned.

There is ELILO in Debian. It is not in the installer, but I suppose they 
can switch to elilo or port it's UEFI code to lilo.

This does more or less the same as I explained :D, it's just less
drastically :D.

Since I didn't experienced this error within the last years, I wasn't
aware about a lock file. Thank you for the much better hint.

Btw. that's why I recommended mv instead of rm, I even wasn't aware if
inside /.mozilla the folder is called /firefox or /iceweasel.

/xx.default or any other profile ;).

Re: Iceweasel run-lock stuck

[Ralf Mardorf]

I'm using Mozillas with Linux for around 10 years and this was a common
bug all the times. If it shouldn't disappear after a reboot, than

$ mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.old

That's it.

I didn't experienced this issues within the last years myself, but I'm
using Firefox, not Iceweasel. I experienced Iceweasel causing much more
trouble than Firefox.

Iceweasel run-lock stuck

[Curt Howland]

Dear Debianistas,

Up to date Wheezy, I can't start Iceweasel. Every time I try it gives
an error, "Iceseasel is already running and not responding. Stop the
existing session or reboot."

Trouble is, there isn't any running Iceweasel, and I just started the machine.

Logging in as another user, Iceweasel works just fine.

At this point, I assume that the run-lock file has been stuck "on",
and when started Iceweasel sees this lock file and quits.

I did "find . -name *lock* -print" but there was no file that looked
anything like an Iceweasel, Firefox, or Mozilla, lock file.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Curt-

If this isn't to be a boot disk, then try running pvcreate directly on
the disk itself. LVM doesn't need a partition table if it's the only
thing on the disk (it will basically act as its own partition table). I
don't know, offhand what the limitations of LVM are but I'm willing to
bet they're better than a DOS-style partition table.

Wheezy. A proper hibernation setup

[Leonid Korostyshevski]

Hello, list!

Sorry, for my English.

I am planning a fresh install of Wheezy to Lenovo Y450 laptop and would
like to ask some questions about contemporary hibernation process.
http://wiki.debian.org/Suspend brings nothing, but uncertainty.

1. What logical place a hibernation process does writes itself? (a special
file, a swap partition, or?) And how much of space should be reserved for
it? (for example, if it writes into swap partition) RAM amount according to
'free' from Wheezy Live XFCE4 is 4111244 bytes.

2. What utility provides today a proper hibernation procedure? (pm-utils,
hibernation, or?) Wheezy XFCE4 Live media does not allows hibernation by
default for my laptop. An attempt to install a package 'hibernate' returns
this:

root@debian:/home/user# apt-get install hibernate
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  kbd liblzo2-2 uswsusp
Suggested packages:
  915resolution
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  console-tools
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  hibernate kbd liblzo2-2 uswsusp
0 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 859 kB of archives.
After this operation, 1,541 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

If 'kbd' package is equal exchange for 'console-tools' package? Does it
make a harm for the system in future dependencies check?

3. Is there a GUI tool for hibernation parameters tuning?
Xfce4-power-manager 1.0.11 applet on an upper desktop panel has 'hibernate'
option grayed out.

4. Something important I forgot to ask, probably?

Thanks!

All the technical details are still there, in (right click) -->
"Connection Information" and in "Edit Connections". If you really wanted
the label "auto eth0" back, just edit the connection and rename it. The
"magic" lies in the "automatically connect to this network when it is
available" (General tab), and in selecting the necessary IP setting
(most likely IPv4, DHCP).

---

After a factory reset of your print server, it cannot connect to your
wifi, and thus it cannot acquire an IP address via DHCP, and thus it
cannot pass-through DHCP request from other clients connected to the
4-port switch. Now, if your new laptop's "Wired Connection" is set up
as above, then the connection cannot be made since there is no DHCP
server available at that point. Hence my suggestion to manually set
the IP, and even go through the command line to make it more
obvious. Under those circumstances there is not much magic left, and
you have to bring down and back up the interface manually (the ifdown
eth0 -- ifup eth0 cycle in my last post).

It would still be easier to connect both, the laptop and one of the
four ethernet ports of the print server, to your router --- under the
assumption that the router is using the same subnet (192.168.0.x), has
at least two ethernet port available, and acts as the DHCP server. In
that case, your laptop will automatically connect, acquire an IP
address, and you can now access 192.168.0.102 without any further
stress.
