If you don't have any DE installed, it should be enough to go to /etc/acpi/events, find the file that describes reaction to closed lid and then making appropriate script non-executable. Say, if in event file you saw the line: action=/etc/acpi/lid.sh then you need to do the following: $ sudo chmod -x /etc/acpi/lid.sh Note, though, that it may became executable again once you update the package (I not sure about that, though). If you have some DE installed, check your settings - it should be there. -- Regards, Alexander Batischev 1024D/69093C81 F870 A381 B5F5 D2A1 1B35 4D63 A1A7 1C77 6909 3C81 signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Excuse me for intervening, but no, he does not mean that. You see, you can
look at codenames (like 'etch', 'lenny' or 'squeeze') as 'absolute' values,
and at release names ('stable', 'testing' etc.) as 'relative' ones. 'lenny'
would still be 'lenny' after release of 'squeeze' (or whichever), but 'stable',
'testing' etc. would change.

Yep, you're right: after squeeze's release, both lenny and oldstable would
point to the same place. The point is: if you use codenames, your distribution
won't change (that is, if it was lenny, it would stay so); but if you used
release names (say, 'stable'), you'll be automatically upgraded to the release
that became stable (squeeze, in that case).

allow_cancellation in /etc/e2fsck.conf doesn't work
Hi! Today when filesystem check started I decided to try the feature I enabled once ago - I hit Ctrl-C expecting to terminate the check for this time. Yeah, it terminated, but filesystem seem to be remounted to read only (through there was no messages saying that), because when init scripts proceed, I've got a lot of "can't write pid" messages, so system didn't boot at all. I rebooted it, wait while check finished, and all seems okay. Here's my /etc/e2fsck.conf: [options] allow_cancellation = true As you can see, there's no other options - just that one mentioned in manpage. But it doesn't work. I have only one partition which is /. Here's an entry from /etc/fstab: UUID=846ddd8e-f5f4-474d-8f80-0f4ab5fc6c29 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 I first though that it may be because of "remount-to" option, but after short thinking decided it can't be - according to man, if allow_cancellation enabled and I hit ^C, fsck returns exit code 0, which means "all is ok, no errors". Or am I wrong? May it be because partition is root? Yeah, I do some googling, but no luck - the only thread (mirrored here and there) is Debian Bug #593620 [1], but there's nothing useful there. I can't use Ted's suggestions from there because if I fsck mounted filesystem, I may damage it, and as far as it's / it can't be remounted to read-only. 1: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=593620 -- Regards, Alexander Batischev 1024D/69093C81 F870 A381 B5F5 D2A1 1B35 4D63 A1A7 1C77 6909 3C81 signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Package may be upgraded only if there's one with a bigger version number. If you have package from sid, the newer may appear only in sid.

Um... Well, single grep will show you filename as well, because (quoting the
manpage):
-H, --with-filename
Print the file name for each match. This is the default when there is more
than one file to search.

Is this part so complicated that bash can't handle it? I mean, if you need
certain extension, you don't even need cat and find, it's all about grep:
$ grep 'string' *.extension
> ~
> then search inside each of the found files for a word or regexp pattern
But if you really want to use find, here's something you may try:
$ find -name '*.extension' -exec grep -H 'pattern' {} \;
(-name may be substituted by -iname if you don't want case sensitivity).
This oneliner would work exactly the same as first one - each match would be
preceded with a filename delimited from a matching string itself by a semicolon
(:)
Hope it helps.

That's my fault - I forgot to mention that you should have ntfs-3g, which is a NTFS driver for Linux, installed in system. Just install package with the same name and try mount command again.

I don't have an answer to that - maybe someone who is more experienced in using apt-/aptitude would help you, but I have some general suggestions. First, you will never face unmet dependencies if you're using only Debian repositories. Second, even if you will (for example, you installed some third-party deb package), following command # apt-get -f install probably fix everything. > *issue 6* : i have two users on my system. how do i restrict another user to > use shutdown ? Regular users can't run shutdown. To do so, they should get root's privileges using su (and entering root's password) or sudo (which is preferred way, because sudo requires user's password and have a mechanism to restrict user's abilities). So if you don't want user run any of administrator's commands (like halt, shutdown, mkfs etc), you don't have to do anything - that's already done for you. If you want user to be able run anything but shutdown, you should modify /etc/sudoers properly. Entry for sudoers would look like this: alex ALL = !/sbin/shutdown where alex is a user's name, and /sbin/shutdown is a path to the utility you want to disable for user. Note that it's not totally secure - user can move shutdown to another place and run it from there, for example. -- Regards, Alexander Batischev 1024D/69093C81 F870 A381 B5F5 D2A1 1B35 4D63 A1A7 1C77 6909 3C81 signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hi! Well, maybe something happened to passwordless authentication - did you try to connect using password, not RSA key? To do so, you can simply move ~/.ssh/id* somewhere and try to connect.

From UTF-8 to octal and back
Hi!
I'm currently playing with Djvu and have some troubles with text information
passed to it. By standard, all non-ASCII text should be represented as UTF-8
encoded octal string, i.e.
\320\222\320\262\320\265\320\264\320\265\320\275\320\270\320\265 (in this
particular example we have Russian word "Введение").
The problem is: I don't know how to convert from usual string ("Введение") to
octal (represented above) and back. I mean, I understand algorithm, but I don't
know how to do it in a simple way. I thought about writing small C program to
do that, but I guess there are some piece of software performing this task
already, so I better ask in mailing list first.
Any advices?

Well, man 1 ionice describes it pretty clear, isn't it? Class 3 (-c3 option) stands for "Idle", which means that program will use disk only when others doesn't use it.

Mutt and GPG - claims ALL signatures can't be verified
I'm using mutt for about a month already. Almost all problems already solved, I successfully moved to IMAP. It's time to get GPG signing to work. As you probably noticed, all my messages are signed. But when I open any--even my own!--message, mutt tells me that PGP signature can NOT be verified. Which is more interesting, I did not have that problem before I imported my secure key (it was stored on desktop; now I'm mostly use netbook). I mean, I had PGP set but I didn't have secure key so I did not sign my messages, just verify other's. I did some little research on the web. It seems that problem is pretty popular, and most common answer is to set pgp_good_sign in muttrc. As far as I copied my GPG config from Mutt GnuPG HowTo[1], I already had that option set.

Running Evince outside of Gnome
Hi,
I'm used to use Evince as PDF/Djvu reader under dwm (dynamic window manager;
[1]) for pretty long time, and everything was fine. But some time ago something
in Squeeze broken, and now Evince can't remember state of panels (was it shown
or hidden) and position in file. It used to be very nice feature that Evince
started in exactly the same state as you left it, and it was especially nice
that it remembered panels state for each file separately, so I could have
toolbar and thumbnails bar enabled for one fine while disabled for other.
Here's what I get when I start Evince from terminal:
** (evince:6574): WARNING **: Failed to create dbus proxy for
org.gnome.SettingsDaemon: Could not get owner of name
'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name
So it seem that gnome settings daemon don't run. I tried to start it:
$ sudo aptitude install gnome-settings-daemon
$ gnome-settings-daemon
$ % ps aux | grep gnome
minoru9140 0.3 1.1 23220 11932 ?Ss 01:05 0:00
gnome-settings-daemon
Now when I start Evince, it doesn't complain, but it still don't save position
in file (but it doesn't show any errors). If I disable thumbnails bar, I get
this message (in terminal):
** (evince:10723): WARNING **: Setting attribute
metadata::evince::sidebar_visibility not supported
It also seems that something happens to my touchpad when I start
gnome-settings-daemon - I lose tapping and multitouch scrolling. It also does
something to desktop wallpaper - I lose it, too, getting weird green background
instead. Killing daemon and restarting Xorg solves the problem.
I moved to zathura[2], kinda like it already, but I still want to know how to
get Evince working. Any ideas?

Yes, you searched wrongfully. When you want to figure out to which package file belongs to, you should use apt-file: apt-file search Mplib.pm You can also assume that there are package named by file it containing, and run the following command: aptitude search mplib And of course you can use web interface[1] (which have some pros - for example, you can search for file in different version of Debian, as I did - I'm running Squeeze but I searched in Lenny via web). According to CPAN[2], MP3-Mplib is pretty old and unsupported (last updated 06 Mar 2004), so it probably wasn't been packed for Debian at all. You can look for alternatives, or go and try to install it directly from CPAN. 1. http://packages.debian.org 2. http://search.cpan.org/~vparseval/MP3-Mplib-0.02/ Regards, Alexander Batischev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

In academic interest you can look what LS_COLORS environment variable contain: $ echo $LS_COLORS After that you can look what's wrong with it. Fix is pretty easy: $ eval `dircolors` Read man pages for dircolors(1) and dir_colors(5) for most complete reference. Note that you should place command mentioned above to .bashrc (or .zshrc, or whatever your shell' config is) so it will run every time shell starts. -- Regards, Alexander Batischev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Procmail: re-sort all messages
Hi, I've just installed fetchmail → procmail → mutt → msmtp chain and want to configure procmail properly. Of course, I can't write all the rules in the right way from scratch, so there must be some testing. The only way to check how rules works is actually run procmail and see what happens. Here is where problems starts. I have about 165 Mb of mails in my GMail box. The only way (known to me at least) to test procmail rules is to invoke this: $ fetchmail -ak -m "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" But that requires downloading of mentioned amount of mails, which is quite long operation. So here is what I'm looking for: is there a way to run procmail on already downloaded messages? Maybe I should download them to separate directory and run procmail on it? Maybe I can just pass existing (already sorted) mail directory to procmail for re-sorting? I hope there are some way to do that.

Don't know is it good or bad news, though… But you should know that I don't have any DMs installed — I prefer simple login in terminal and then run startx (if needed). Also I don't have any heavy services installed — it's netbook and I want it to be as fast as possible.

Now, I run sync manually, then unplug device, and after it umount are ran by udev. Actually there's no certain point in doing so: I can run umount instead of sync as well.

Of course, "umount, then remove" is the normal way to remove USB stick (and any other storage).

How to flush cache of certain disk?
Hi, On my netbook I'm using automatic USB sticks mount through udev rules, and I already used to running 'sync' command before unplugging stick, so no data will be lost. But if I have few sticks inserted and some information copying on one of them, if I run 'sync' I have to wait while copying ends, because: a) sync command drops cache on disk, but copying process fill it again; sync will work until all the caches are dropped to disks b) I can't unplug stick when it stops to flash because I can't be sure that there are no more parts of cache needed to be flushed on that disk. So here is my question - how can I run sync for only one device?
