Re: apt-get wrapper for maintaining Partial Mirrors
2009/6/10 sanket agarwal snktagar...@gmail.com: Hi all, We all know that there are various distro's that build around Debian. I had an idea in mind whereby the task of making mirrors for personal distributions can be automated. This can be stated as: if a person wants to keep a customised set of packages for usage with the distribution, the tool should be able to develop dependencies, fetch packages, generate appropriate documentation and then create the corresponding directory structure in the target mirror! The task can be extended to include packages which are currently not under one of the standard mirrors! I think the tool can have immense utility in helping people automate the task of mantaining the repositories. Suggestions, positive and negative are invited. I have not included the impl details as I would first like to evaluate the idea at a feasibility and utility level. How is this different from having a partial mirror and a full backing mirror? (set the priority of your partial mirror higher with apt preferences and it should override the backing mirror) Anton -- Anton Piatek email: an...@piatek.co.uk blog/photos:http://www.strangeparty.com pgp: [0xB307BAEF] (http://www.strangeparty.com/anton.asc) fingerprint: 116A 5F01 1E5F 1ADE 78C6 EDB3 B9B6 E622 B307 BAEF No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message, however, a significant number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Debugging a kernel module
I am trying to debug a kernel module (thinkpad_acpi in this case). I know that because it is in the kernel I cannot just hook up a debugger or anything without UML or a second machine kind-of-thing which will probably take too much time for me at the moment. I tried recompiling the kernel with the THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUG=y and was expecting that to turn on a load of prink's that I would see in my debug log or syslog Running this new debug-enabled kernel and module has not produced anything extra in my logs - Do I need to set a global flag somewhere for the kernel config to enable extra debug messages? Or is there normally some magic flag I have to set when loading the module to make it happen. (As background information I am trying to work out why the CPU scaling on my T43p forces the slowest scaling when on battery power - I was hoping the thinkpad_acpi module might alert me to some internal values as the system is running that might tell me why the kernel has decided that the only sensible speed is 800mhz whenever on battery - perhaps cpu temperature or similar) Anton -- Anton Piatek email: an...@piatek.co.uk blog/photos:http://www.strangeparty.com pgp: [0xB307BAEF] (http://www.strangeparty.com/anton.asc) fingerprint: 116A 5F01 1E5F 1ADE 78C6 EDB3 B9B6 E622 B307 BAEF No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message, however, a significant number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

dpkg -i from within postinst script
I work for a company that uses a specific java build - we are only allowed to download it from a specific internal site, that is authenticated. I have written a package that downloads and builds it into a deb (using make-jpkg + extra definitions) as part of the postinst script. I would like it to install the package too, however everything i have tried doesnt work Obviously dpkg is locked, so tried forking a background bash process to wait for it to become unlocked and then install, but the postinst seems to wait for that to exit - so waits forever. Short of adding a cronjob that tries to install it, and deletes itself when done, can anyone think of any other ways I can have a deb marked for installation after apt/dpkg is done with the current operation?

I would like it to install the package too, however everything i have tried doesnt work You can not do that. It means that your package will rebuild the child package everytime it is installed ??? Furthermore, where a package (yours) is installing, the dpkg/apt database is locked to prevent another dpkg/apt from modifying it. So you will not be able to do such a strange thing. You should prepare a source package which use uscan or uupdate to check for new version availlability. So, you just have to rebuild the package each time the upstream release a new version. And push it in an intern repository (instead of your current package). If you can not embed the Java in your package (as Flash, for example), your package will only download and install the Java files in the postinst script and remove theses files in the prerm script. Your problem is not different than all the packages built upon upstream (non-debian) sources. I am fully aware of how apt and dpkg are supposed to work - I cannot ship a precompiled deb for legal reasons, so either each user builds and installs it manually, or I try to help them. Installing this package pops up a debhelper choice of which packages they want to build and install. I suppose I am closest to m-a in how it is working. I would rather that this package pops up a menu each time it is reinstalled as it means users have some way of knowing a new upstream package is available should they wish to build and install it. I am also fully aware of how nasty this is, however I am tied by legal requirements with this package that each user has to download it themselves so the download is tracked. Trying to help, I came up with a script that can build and install the package, and I would like to put this script in a deb, and have it autorun so that we can make other packages depend on this one such that a user has a chance of getting the package built and installed easily Anton -- Anton Piatek email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] blog/photos:http://www.strangeparty.com pgp: [0xB307BAEF] (http://www.strangeparty.com/anton.asc) fingerprint: 116A 5F01 1E5F 1ADE 78C6 EDB3 B9B6 E622 B307 BAEF No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message, however, a significant number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Ok, so you could use the second solution (as msttcorefont or flashplayer-nonfree): - postinst ask the user where the tar.gz file is - if the user dont have it, postinst download it for him - postinst installs the tar.gz in the right place and tracks the list of files - prerm delete the file tracked at the postinst stage. So you do have a package (nearly empty) which installs the soft. The soft is not included in the package but downloaded at install time, you can remove the files installed and you can depend on this package. Does it answer to your needs ? It is easier to use make-jpkg to sort our the java package, as it has the same layout as other java packages.

The problem is that bash just loads and runs the aliases file, so each alias line still needs to be formatted like a bash command: e.g. alias ls='ls --color' Try putting alias at the beginning of each of your aliases to see if that works, otherwise it is probably just setting env variables Anton -- Anton Piatek email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] blog/photos:http://www.strangeparty.com pgp: [0xB307BAEF] (http://www.strangeparty.com/anton.asc) fingerprint: 116A 5F01 1E5F 1ADE 78C6 EDB3 B9B6 E622 B307 BAEF No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message, however, a significant number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

ACPI power management broken since 2.6.23-1

I admit I don't entirely understand how ACPI works... It helps wonders if you tell us what laptop you have (and a major hint: upgrade your laptop BIOS and firmware if an update is available from the vendor). Also, what is wrong with the sleep? Is it the sleep? Is it the resume? What happens that is wrong? If the screen is black, is the machine still alright but just with the backlight turned off? What is in the kernel log when the sleep/resume breaks? etc. Youre right - the laptop details will help: IBM T43p I will look into bios updates too though they are going to be tricky as it seems i need a non-usb floppy or windows xp (neither of which I have) The laptop doesn't go to sleep - I use the kde powermanagement tool to set the sleep when the lid is closed, but in the newer kernels it just doesnt work - all the sleep options are greyed out and I can't figure out why. I have looked through various logs but have been unable to find pretty much anything acpi/sleep related at all. Maybe the problem is not the kernel... i suppose it could be that kde doesnt like something in the newer kernels.

I have had this happen before, with sarge i think, and upgrading apt to a newer level solved it, however uprading apt now will require upgrading libperl My apt is currently at version 0.7.6 on a mixed lenny/sid system (with some packages from etch, unison in particular) I think you are not doing yourself any favors by running your system like that. Unfortunately unison is designed such that both client and server versions must match, so as my servers are etch I need the etch version on my laptop. I need software from Lenny/Sid on my laptop. I suppose I could move to complete Sid however I do not want to have to worry about the extra effort of all the extra updates that I would have to install on Sid rather than Lenny. The only solution other than running a mixed system is to move to Ubuntu and get backports of unison that match Etch, however I'd rather stay on Debian. Surely apt should be able to handle 6 sources lists - why can't it? and is there anything I can do to help debug why? Maybe it is just a problem of insufficient memory being reserved for the cache. Try this: apt-get -o APT::Cache-Limit=2000 update This tells apt to reserve 20 MB for the cache; you can of course increase the value further if it still does not work with 20 MB. I have stable, testing, unstable, experimental and debian-multimedia in my sources.list and my cache cache limit is set to 50 MB. If you find a Cache-Limit value that works for you then you can make it permanent in a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/. Assuming that insufficient cache size is to blame, apt should probably handle such a situation more gracefully. However, I think it is only worthwhile to track this down further if the segfault can be reproduced for the current version of apt. (I did not check the bug reports; maybe it is already a known problem.) It is indeed solved by increasing the apt-cache limit. There does appear to be a bugreport open, though I doubt I can add much to it without moving apt up to the unstable level. Aptitude has the same problem, though is more explicit about why. It seems that once I run apt with a 20mb limit the problem goes away, so presumably apt is happy keeping the cache at a larger size once it gets that big. I will add the option to my config anyway, so hopefully will not see this again. Is it worth suggesting that the default cache size be increased?

chroot question
Hi, I have a amd64 install of debian with a 32bit chroot for a couple of apps. This works great, but I have a question. Is it possible to have an application inside the 32bit chroot launch an application on my main 64 bit system? (e.g. a photo browsing program in the 32bit chroot launching gimp, which is installed in my main 64 bit system). I currently launch my 32bit programs with schroot and am hoping I can set something to make specific programs outside the chroot available... I cannot think of how this can be achieved, so any ideas are welcomed.

samba timeouts
Hi, I am having fun running samba across a wireless network. When mounting a samba mount (debian to debian) I often get the following errors smb_add_request: request [81001dbd7080, mid=15039] timed out! Which seem to precede the network dropping badly. I am not sure if it is a problem with samba or with my wireless. I also find that the wireless often does not keep up with streaming of mp3's. Is there a packet size option I can set on samba to change the packet size used to see if that helps (along with suggestions for packet sizes). I could also look at NFS, I never bothered before as it was mostly windows access to the box, if people think it will be more reliable across wireless than samba.

Re: ViewSonic Widescreen and resolution settings

Still, I would like to get this working better. On 11/16/06, Dave Bellows [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, I just got a new ViewSonic VG2230 widescreen LCD monitor for my Debian Testing box. After I installed it I ran dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg. It seemingly correctly configured xorg.conf for a resolution of 1680x1050 as recommended by the booklet that came with the monitor. However, when I started up X the vertical is off. There's about 2 inches of extra screen space at the top so that when I move the mouse cursor up to the top of the screen the whole screen shifts and I lose my bottom taskbar (KDE). So I manually edited the conf file and changed it to 1600x1000 (keeping the same ratio). This appears to have worked (no more extra space). Because the monitor is such a big change from what I'm used to I can't tell entirely if the shapes of the letters are distorted at all (at 1680 x 1000 it was obvious) but they appear fine. Is it fine to leave it at this? Should it be able to do 1680x1050? Is there some extra configuration I'm missing? Also, the screen is huge. I'd never really notice what letters looked like before. There's a certain fuzziness around each of the letters on the screen that I think is related to anti-aliasing perhaps. It's fairly noticeable though I imagine I could get used to it. Again, is there a setting somewhere that would improve the look? Thanks, David Bellows Make sure you have the vsync and hsync values correct for your monitor (see the monitor manual) otherwise you will get this. Subpixel rendering should not affect this, but it can improve clarity as the xserver knows more about the screen so can change the way pixels are lit up to look better.

I got the module compiled but when I try and load it with modprobe lirc_serial I get: WARNING: Error inserting lirc_dev (/lib/modules/2.6.17-2-k7/misc/lirc_dev.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) FATAL: Error inserting lirc_serial (/lib/modules/2.6.17-2-k7/misc/lirc_serial.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) dmesg has: lirc_dev: Unknown symbol class_simple_device_add lirc_dev: Unknown symbol class_simple_destroy lirc_dev: Unknown symbol class_simple_device_remove lirc_dev: Unknown symbol class_simple_create lirc_serial: Unknown symbol verify_area lirc_serial: Unknown symbol lirc_unregister_plugin lirc_serial: Unknown symbol lirc_register_plugin I tried searching but couldn't find a resolution, though it is obvious this is not just a Debian package issue...

I even installed grub on the second disk's mbr so I can boot from either. I got my existing install running (needed to install initramfs-tools, and it build a new initrd which had the lvm drivers and scripts to initialise them) but my clean install still wont work. I tried installing udev and initramfs-tools manually on it (from rescue cd) but it still boots up and wont find the vg. Strangely it actually mentions it by name... vg 'main' could not be found (or similar)... The only difference I can see is that the /boot dir on my other box has all the scripts and binaries (I didn't put them there) whereas the clean install has them only in the initrd image. If I get a busybox console (after the boot fails and drops to shell) then I can run the /scripts/local-top/lvm script and then the lvm partitions are active. It is almost as if the lvm script isnt being called on bootup!

I had some hardware die, and now having replaced it all I seem to have a
corrupted system.

I have no idea why this is happening, and searching the internet has
revealed nothing similar (maybe I am being too specific).
I have tried running ldconfig but that has not fixed it.

The kernel image 2.4.27 586 was much faster for its desktop use than the 2.6 386 kernel, using sarge binaries. (The box is no longer used.)

Not sure how you can check for the precompiled kernels as libc will change on various upgrades, but if you are compiling your own then you should be able to switch them very easily. If you are uninstalling then be careful that the default entry in your bootloader is still valid before you restart, and if compiling your own don't forget ide and filesystem modules!

alsaconf needed on every boot
Hi, I am running Etch now and my soundcard doesn't configure properly on bootup. It is a SB Live and loads up with the snd_emu10k1module but the master volume control does not do what it should. Instead it controls the levels of the surround speakers (and not the master volume). Sometimes running alsaconf fixes it (most of the time in fact, but sometimes it just won't fix). I am struggling to figure out what is wrong with it. I have read several posts about alsa not loading at boot time at all, but mine is loading and plays fine (I just cannot control the volume at all) Any ideas?

ipw2200 wireless network card stops working
Hi, I am wondering if anyone has had problems with their ipw2200 network card losing connection after a while. It can vary between a minute and twenty before the connection stops, and I cannot figure out why. I don't *think* I have anything running trying to reconfigure it, and it still has the right ip address and routes set after it dies, I just cannot ping anything apart from my own NIC. I have tried a 2.6.15 and .16 kernel with the builtin iee80211 stack and ipw2200 drivers, and even the latest stable and testing ipw drivers (and new firmware and matchin ieee stack). How do you go about diagnosing a driver related problem? I also wonder if power saving is kicking in at stupid times, but have no idea how to test this. unloading the driver and reloading fixes it (for a while at least). none of the log files show anything after it goes down...

Although I'm quite skilled with TCP/IP networking in general, I'm very new to WLAN and would welcome some link to a WLAN Debian HOWTO or something similar. In addition to the above questions: Even if I've managed to bring up the WLAN interface by hand, how can I automate it? For wired LAN I use DHCP at work and at home, so the notebook gets always the correct environment configuration. Can I do something similar for WLAN as well? Does this work by just adding eth1 to /etc/network/interfaces once the basic low-level problems are solved? Thanks a lot for your help already in advance! Hi, Have you added a line to /etc/network/interfaces ? somthing similar to your eth1 line iface eth1 dhcp should work, you should then be able to use ifup eth1 to bring up the card using dhcp. You may still want to set a key and essid (see man iwconfig). Of course that is fine for one wireless lan, but I am not sure about the best way to get the wireless card to try several keys and find the one that works on the current hotspot (please let me know if you find a solution to that).

Thanks, anyway! ZioNemo Sounds like something more serious than just he console out of its normal state. Check /etc/inittab and check that it looks alright. If killing the tty1 process does not fix it, i doubt a reboot will... Anton signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: dhcpcd loses IP address after update [debian unstable]
What other programs cause similar behaviour? (like zeroconf) I been wrestling with my wireless card and it keeps dropping my connection after a while. i thought it was my driver, but it is probably something like zeroconf (and I will check when I get out of work), What is it about the ifconfig listing that gives it away as running zeroconf?

I use dhcpcd (2.0.3) as DHCP client, which worked fine until the update. So, now I dhcpcd gets everything from the DHCP server but seems to forget it almost immediately (it then falls back to some IPv4 link-local address). Here is how it goes: So it seems that the IP Addr gets lost somewhere. I am not aware of any other network configuration software that is running. As an exercise I even deleted everything from /etc/rc2.d in order to eliminate interferences with any other deamons. Nothing changed, though. [...ifconfig outputs showing typical zeroconf stuff ...] my /etc/network/interfaces looks like this: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp Do you have any ideas about this strange behavior? Any help would be greatly appreciated. you probably have isntalled the zeroconf package. If you don't need it, you can purge it and thatll probably solve your issue.

Re: Reproducing my Etch kernel
Digby Tarvin wrote: I have searched the web and several books, and all of the instructions say to obtain the kernel with an 'apt-get install kernel-tree', and I am sure that 2-3 months ago with Sarge I used apt-get install kernel-tree-2.6.8 but on Etch this package does not seem to exit. However I did find that there is a 'linux-tree-2.6.15'. When and why did Debian move from kernel-tree/image/source to Linux-tree/image/source?
