Around nine or ten years ago I used a TV card and I remember that it 
showed the picture without sound, until I used a small cable to connect 
the audio output of the TV card to the input of the sound card.

Déja Dup bug error

[Gábor Hársfalvi]

Hi,

I recently used Déja Dup for everyday backup automatically without
problems. Si when I logged in the system it started automatically and did
my backup well.

Until now... When Iog in to my system I get this error message from Déja
Dup:

"Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1251, in 
with_tempdir(main)
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1244, in with_tempdir

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/duplicity/backends/giobackend.py",
line 127, in list

And it stop working.

But I need backup, and it was a nice application.

How to use the debian installation iso for installing packages using aptitude

[Anubhav Yadav]

Greetings all.

This is what I am trying to do.

I have the three dvd iso of debian. I installed debian without
internet connection using the first iso image. Now I want to use these
iso files to download and installing any packages that can be done
through aptitude without using interent. I have internet but I want it
to be second preference.

This is what I managed to do until now:

1) I created a folder name dvd1-mountpoint in my /home folder

2) Next I mounted the iso using the command
mount path/to/iso dvd1-mountpoint/ -o loop

3) Next I created a symbolic link to the mounted folder in the /media folder
ln -s dvd1-mountpoint/ /media/apt1

4) Then i ran the following command
apt-cdrom -d=/media/apt1/ add

I got the following output

root@Innovator:/home/neo1691# apt-cdrom -d=/media/apt1 add

Using CD-ROM mount point /media/cdrom/

Any help? I want to say some bandwidth as it is not cheap here, and is very slow

Re: Installing mysqldump

Ethan,

I see that you are using Thunderbird.  A lot of people do.  But why
are your messages always broken?  You never reply to the message you
are quoting and seem to be replying to but the message before it.
Strange.  And your quoting is really painful.  I am sure it is not a
problem with Thunderbird since other people use it successfully.

I had asked for the 'env COLUMNS=80 dpkg -l' so that the columns would

But yours go out to column 144 so of course I know you didn't use the

mysql-server is Unpacked but not configured.  mysql-server-5.5 install
is marked as Failed.  That is clearly bad.  You can't ignore these
errors.

I would try this first.  Needs root.

  apt-get install -f

That should rerun the configuration of the failed packages.  Since it
produced errors before it will probably produce errors again.  Post
those errors.  They need to be fixed.

After you get the new mysql server installed correctly then, and only
then, purge the previous server.  Doing so will have the side effect
of shutting down the server so it needs to be started again.  But
don't do it until you have the new server installed correctly.

I don't know but for example DNS will start off with a UDP query.  But
if the response is too large for a single UDP packet then it will
change to a TCP connection for the larger data exchange.  So let's say
that UDP always works okay and it is only something about TCP that is
problematic.  Then you could definitely find issues with some domain
names and not others if those problematic ones used TCP due to a
larger amount of data.  Such as if some have many more records than
others.

You might compare the sizes of the returned data in a dns query and
see if there is a correlation.  'dig' should give you that
information.  But I am not saying that is the problem.  Just saying
that there will be differences in how the lookups are handled.

BTW...  What do you have in /etc/nsswitch.conf?  Hope it just says
"files dns" there.

  $ grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
  hosts:  files dns

Did you use LVM?  If so then you can simply expand it with some free

REDUX: Re: Migrating 32 -> 64

[Gregory Seidman]

Thanks to everyone for the helpful input. It looks like there is no
advantage to converting to 64-bit, which is just fine with me. The new
machine has 4GB of RAM, so I am not hitting address space issues. I don't
do anything more CPU-intensive than spam filtering. I do occasionally do
some I/O-intensive stuff (particularly backups onto its external RAID),
plus I have a GigE switch, so a GigE port does matter to me.

It looks like it will be worth my while to copy partitions over to the new
disk, if only so I can increase the size of my root partition (which I
foolishly made too small). Beyond that, it looks like the transition will
be very easy. Thank you all for the guidance. Now it's time to burn a live
CD and get copying.

Thank you for doing so. I actually went ahead and opened bugs against
openswan and bind9 after getting no responses here in almost 24
hours. I was somewhat reluctant to do that, but if nobody here seems
to have ideas on how to farther troubleshoot this, I figured the people
who build those packages and are probably more familiar with how said
package works than general
users, would have ideas on how to proceed.

Yes, but I figured that if at least one of these programs works fine
on fedora 16 in the same type of environment, then there must be
something with how wheezy interacts with that environment which is
causing this. So, while it is fair to say the problem is unique to my
environment, I also think it's fair, and more precise to say that it's
something having to do with how wheezy specifically interacts with
that environment.

Yes, that occurred to me as well. However, given that only two packages
are doing this so far out of a bunch of them, I thought it would be
better and more obvious to focus on those first, until I can actually
trace the problem to the kernel itself.

Yes, I plan to do that, once I've verified as much as possible the
problem isn't exclusively on my end of things. Perhaps I've reached
that point already.

I've thought of that as well, especially since research indicates that
the virtio_net module has had problems in the past. In fact, the most
recent batch of these seems to have been fixed earlier this month in
linux 3.4.56 (more on that below). On the other hand, if it's
something in the network stack, why am I for example able to query my
VPS provider's servers for the same domains without crashes? If it's
in the network stack, then I think it's reasonable to conclude I'd be
seeing crashes regardless of what name servers I queried for those
domains. Right?

I actually did do something along the same lines. I tried linux 3.10
from unstable, and then my own build of linux 3.10.5. Same results as
with 3.9 from wheezy-backports. I then tried my own builds of 3.4.56,
3.0.89, and 2.6.32 from squeeze. My builds were done using the sources
from kernel.org. I was really hoping that 3.4.56 would be the magic
fix, because of the virtio_net fixes I mentioned above that went into
it. Everything from 3.4.56 down behaved the same way as 3.2.0 in
wheezy (I.E. crashes during boot when starting bind9, and crashes on
resolving the domains that make it crash). The exception was 2.6.32
from squeeze which crashed the machine when I attempted to query my
local bind for even the domains that work on higher kernels. So, I
didn't go lower than that.

There is one thing that's been bothering me on and off through all
this, which I forgot to mention in my original post. The fedora
machine with the same VPS provider. I noticed there is no
virtio_ring.ko module, it simply doesn't exist on that machine. All
the kernels I tried have virtio_ring built as module, and I couldn't
find a .config option to disable it anywhere when I was doing my build
of 3.10.5. I did a bit of research, but couldn't find a clear answer
on what exactly virtio_ring does. I keep wondering on and off what would happen 
if I
could find a way to black list it in the initrd image. Would all this
suddenly go away, or would I end up with an unbootable system, because
virtio_blk couldn't load with virtio_ring black listed. I would prefer not to 
risk the second
alternative, so it would be best if I can simply find a debian kernel,
or build my own without virtio_ring altogether.

The second error was to omit one of the lists cc'ed. The third was to

The problem report of not having any sound output is unfortunately a
common one.  By default audio is almost always muted.  I have also
encountered your problem and it can be frustrating.  I do not have a
simple solution.

Open your audio mixer and look for muted entries.  Try unmuting all
audio output devices.

Many people have found that "pulse audio" is problematic and find that
removing it enables them to play audio.  Remove all pulse audio
packages and then open your audio mixer again.  New controls should be
available.  Again, look and unmute all of them.

I don't know anything about why you are having system crashes.  But no
one else responded and so I decided to jump in.

I run a handful of VMs full time and let me assure you that they are
stable and reliable and don't crash.  Your crashes are not
intrinsically part of the Linux kernel, Debian, or anything else.
They are something unique to your environment.  And they should not be
happening.

Very bizarre!  I can't guess as to any reason why.  But I can't
believe the problem is related to bind code itself.  It is simply a
user space program the same as any other.  The problem is in the
kernel.

I have no idea.  However if the kernel is crashing then the problem is
in the kernel or kernel+kernel-drivers which are also part of the
kernel.  All else are just symptoms of the disease.

I would contact your VPS provider support.  If you are paying for the
service and it isn't working then you should get help to get it going.

Again, very bizarre.  But openswan won't be the problem either.  This
is just another symptom of the kernel problem.

Since all of your crashes appear to be network related I imagine the
problem is in the kernel network driver stack somewhere.

Seems reasonable to me.  I have several that are similar.  All run fine.

That seems to be quite an old version of qemu.

  Squeeze 6 - 0.12.5
  Wheezy 7 - 1.1.2
  Unstable - 1.5.0
  Experimental - 1.6.0~rc0

Part of me says that if it worked reliably way back when 0.9.1 was
current then it should still be working reliably today.  But another
part worries that the Linux 3.9 that you are running is tickling some
bug in the qemu 0.9.1 and that upgrading to something more recent will
probably fix it.  Because your problem seems pretty severe and so it
would almost certainly be a bug that would have already been fixed.

To me it "feels" like an interaction between your very new Linux
kernel version 3.9 and your quite old qemu version 0.9.1.  I would try
the *oldest* stock Debian kernel you can find that still supports your
libc and other libs and see if that fixes things.  (At some point your
old kernel won't support the newer userland.  I don't know where the

What does the NEWS file say about the migration?  I expect that it
uses the /usr/share as default values and uses /etc/logwatch as a
place to provide customizations.

Note that I don't know anything about logwatch.  For Debian I am using
logcheck with logcheck-data plus many local customizations.

Okay I looked.  Please read the file:

  /usr/share/doc/logwatch/HOWTO-Customize-LogWatch.gz

It describes the new scheme and describes a /etc/logwatch/conf
directory for local customizations.

I agree with all of the above sentiment.  Sometimes you just have to
let go of the old hardware.  But I was responding to a thread talking
about adding a network card.  Maybe I should have said _if_ you are
going to put another network card in the box _then_ stop there.

Note that it wouldn't need to be a GigE card.  It seems to me that any
old 10/100 card should be enough for this machine.  I prefer the old
tulip based cards like the Linksys etherfast ones.  If you ask around
to your friends or a local user group you can probably find one of
those laying around unused that they would give you for free.  And
that removes the cost part from the equation.

Moving the old hard drive to the new machine for a local disk to disk
copy to the new drive should be easy.  I guess that depends upon the
vintage of old disk though!  But if I had an old 20G disk and had just
bought a new 1T disk then I would certainly simply image the old drive
onto the new one and set the old drive on the shelf as a backup for a
while.

In other thoughts... I agree that there isn't a reason to upgrade a
particular system from 32-bit to 64-bit.  If you have a 32-bit machine
then I can't see any reason to upgrade to a 64-bit machine.  I still
have many 32-bit machines.

However if you are building a new 64-bit machine with today's
inexpensive ram and are putting 8G or more ram into it then I would
definitely recommend using 64-bits for the *new* system given that it
has much more ram in it.  The PAE kernels are fine.  But nothing is as
simple as a large flat address space.  Firefox is quite the pig.  I
have routinely killed it on my machine when I have seen that it is up
around 2G in memory size.  I think it is only a matter of time before
Firefox will routinely bump against the 3G limit.  Especially now that
almost every web site is more Javascript and image intense than
before.  Past history being the imperfect predictor of the future.
This will eventually be a 32-bit issue for FF to lean out.  But of
course a 64-bit system won't have that limitation.  I still would not
recommend (yet) to migrate an existing system from 32-bit to 64-bit.
Maybe for Jessie it will come together however.  I think that is
actually very likely for Jessie.

I don't think that the Debian *USER* mailing list is necessarily the
best place to discuss/debate the above stuff. :-)

Since I expect that anything that affects the kernel itself is going to
be handled by the Linux kernel developers, you might want to post the
above questions on the linux-kernel mailing list.

http://www.tux.org/lkml/ should help point you in the right direction.

Ok, upon further searching around, I think I found the problem.  It
looks like the config file location for the program moved somewhere
along the way.  It's no longer using /etc/logwatch (I *thought* that
directory seemed kinda empty other than my lone ignore.conf file which
had been there; it probably didn't get removed because it knew I had
modified the file), but is now in /usr/share/logwatch/default.config.
Which strikes me as a rather strange place to put config files  I'll
put my entries in the ignore.conf file there and see if that takes care

Basically what you want to do is 'mark' the packet with iptables (it's
a kernel flag) and then 'handle' it with tc. Just a quick google
(though tc if fairly complex and has a tree like structure which you
might want to read about):

You need to look at tc not iptables.

What did you try and how does it fail?

This link is probably a good starting point:
http://serverfault.com/questions/154451/throttle-bandwidth-via-iptables

It doesn't appear to me that iptables is necessarily the best tool to
achieve what you want. But then I am not sure if your stated goal is
actually the best way to achieve what you *really* want. Is it possible
that you actually need QoS (Quality of Service) instead of fixed
bandwidth limits?

And what do you exactly want to know?

You need to download the source code of gnomeradio-1.8 and the patches
and then run the patch command in the source tree, after that you need
to compile it. When compiling is done, you can install it with or
without building a package.

Re: Installing mysqldump

[The_Ace]

if the database that you need to backup is not in your own PC, use
the -h parameter with mysqldump  and pass the host ip or fqdn of the
PC in which the database resides.
eg :
mysqldump -h 192.168.1.30  -u username_with_external_access -p db_name
> db_name.sql

if the database is in the same PC, then you still have problems as the
local mysql service is not running.
check logs (syslog , mysql log) to see why its not running and attend to that.
