  I really like amarok, am finding however that it is hanging often on

 I'm using the current/latest Amarok in lenny, and it still seems to
 hang, but seemingly randomly, and
 usually not during a playback, but when I'm doing other things with
 it, like checking out my collection. More often than not, though, it
 crashes inexplicably. Sometimes, several times in one session.
 
 I'm running 1.4.7.-1.b1.
 
Then I'm not the only one that is suffering.  I've seldom been so amazed by a 
program, and also frustrated.  I started with the etch version (of both amarok 
and my system), had to move up to lenny, to among other things get my wlan 
working.

anyone know if the etch version is really stable?

Scanner rights messed up: please help!

2006-08-24 Thread Christof Hurschler
No one responded to my last post, so I'll try it again.  A previously working 
scanner is no longer accessible for the group scanner.  It works under root.  
Something seems to have changed in a recent dist-upgrade.

The device is listed as:

T:  Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#=  2 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  1

where 001:002 used to be root:scanner, allowing scanning by users in that 
group.  Not any more.

I don't know where the rights for this device are beging set, can someone 
suggest a way to solve this problem?  I did find someting about setting rights 
in the documentation for usblib, but have never had to intervene in this regard 
before.  And am not sure if that is the problem anyway.

This is the second or thrid time that dist-upgrade has broken my system because 
of a rights problem.  First cups, more recently automounting in KDE, and now 
the scanner problem.  I really like debian, but when printing or scanning or 
access to a usb stick suddenly stops working my debian system becomes useless 
to me.

 I was going to respond to your last post, but didn't really have anything
 much 
 to suggest.
 1. a reboot
 2. reinforcing that the user is added to the scanner group.

Thanks for your suggestion Charlie, but the user and group of the device are no 
longer being set to root:scanner anymore for some reason but to root:root.  In 
that case it doesnt matter if the user is in the sacnner group: it does't have 
any access to the device anyway  Rebooting and crossing my fingers didn't 
change this situation ;-)

It can't be too difficult of a problem because root can scan fine using kooka.

 [...]
 
  I use sid and AKAICT udev deals with permissions for devices.  Try 
  /etc/udev/permission.rules.
 
 The udev rules for the scanners are in /etc/udev/libsane.rules which
 comes from package libsane. It seems that the rule for product id 0109
 is missing:
 
 ...
 # Epson Expression 1600
 SYSFS{idVendor}==04b8, SYSFS{idProduct}==0107, MODE=664,
 GROUP=scanner
 # Epson Perfection 1640
 SYSFS{idVendor}==04b8, SYSFS{idProduct}==010a, MODE=664,
 GROUP=scanner
 ...
 
 (This is copied from an up-to-date Sid system, libsane 1.0.18-3)
 
 You can try to insert the following between the 0107 and the 010a rule:
 
 # Epson Expression 1640XL
 SYSFS{idVendor}==04b8, SYSFS{idProduct}==0109, MODE=664,
 GROUP=scanner
 
 That should set the group to scanner if you unplug the device and plug
 it in again. (I am not sure if you also have to restart udev.)
 
 If this works you should mail the rule to the sane-devel mailing list;
 see the comments at the beginning of /etc/udev/libsane.rules for
 details. (I do not have this scanner therefore I cannot check this.)

 Regards,
   Florian

Thank you very, very much.  I'll do as you suggest.

 Hi!

 I don't know, sincerely, but i can tell you that i use the:
 SwitchProxy Tool
 that is an extension for firefox that allow to change dinamically (without
 close  reopen firefox) proxy set.
 Hope it helps you!
 Bye

I also use switch-proxy, which *is* nice.  I have my laptop setup to 
automatically set the environment variable depending on where I am.  KDE does a 
nice job and allows one to use the environment variables.  I haven't figured 
out how to do it wich Firefox though...

 I am no expert on udeb permission rules but that looks to me like you want

 the output of ls above you get root as the owner. Anyway that's what it 
 looks like on my setup as well. I haven't had time to work with the udeb 
 permissions (don't even have a udev.permissions on my etch setup), but I 
 only got it to work when I set the permissions to 666. I do that from a 
 startup script now. Not very nice I know but it works. Let me know if it 
 helps.
 

I guess I wasn't clear in my previous post, the changes I made to 
udev.permissions did *not* change the owner from root to lp on the next boot.

I did change the printers in the rules file (as suggested for the usb entry 
in previous post in this thread) and that seems to have worked.

Can some of the more experienced Debian users on this list explain what is 
going on here?  It seems obvious to me that cupsd should be run with rights 
that allow it to access printers, shouldn`t it?

Thanks,

Chris

 Thanks, I was able to get it to work by following Chris' advice, then
 purging cupsys, reinstalling, then reinstalling printconf, which found
 my printer.  I can now print to the queue created by printconf.
 

Maybe some of the suggestion in a thread I sarted /dev/lp0 rights and CUPS 
might have helped.  I had to add lp to /etc/modules and mess with the rights of 
/dev/lp0 in udev to get it working.

All this purging reinstalling stuff reminds me of how I solve problems in 
Windows. Ugh. This printing/udev bug has been a really anoying experience for 
me, especially since no one seems to have really gotten to the bottom of it.

Judging by the limited response to my post this doesn't seem to be a widespread

how to get a clean xserver-xorg installation?

2006-01-23 Thread Christof Hurschler
Hi,

I'm having trouble getting my xserver to run on an unstable machine which I
just upgraded.  kdm runs, pauses on login and returns without entering any
desktop (KDE or otherwise).  I am getting an error:

 error opening security policy file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

which after some Googeling seems not to be the problem (or is it?).

I've used dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to try to get it running to no
avial, and I suspect there is some config file mixup. How can I get a really
clean xorg setup?  apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg doesn't seem to do
the trick, I still get old config file warnings etc.

It worked before the dist-upgrade, has a (lspci) Radeon 9200 PRO, dpkg
showed a drm error (without lock) until I turned off dri in
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.

Any suggestions?

Thaks,

Chris

I posted a similar message a while back but got no response.  Maybe there has 
been some progress in this area.

I want to use a streaming client to play music from my Debian server.  The 
client uses the UPnP protocol.

Has anyone set up a UPnP media server on a Debian machine?  I`ve tried getting 
the TwonkyMedia server running, but the install script doesn`t semm to like 
Debian.

Thanks for any suggestions.

 [snip rant against testing]

  I just totally agree with you. A little difference, I switch my

  this worked without problems for me.

 I agree.  The fixed names are much better.  There was a thread here a
 while back (6 months, a year?) about making the default be a fixed
 name like woody, sarge or etch, rather than stable.  I think
 that would be a much better default.

  My desktops use unstable.

 As are mine.  Sid is pretty solid for me so far.  I can recover from
 most of the mishaps.  But at work I do worry since I could lose hard
 if things go really badly.  I guess that's why they make stable.  But
 that's so boring ;-).

  The problem is always the same: Newbies don't understand the sense of
  the word unstable as used by Debian.
  In fact they lack understanding what a distribution is, and therefore
  what a stable (or unstable) distribution is.

 Exactly.  I was using testing for a while and got tired of losing
 when a package broke and wouldn't get fixed for ages.

 Of course, a savvy user could default to testing and drag in unstable
 (with whatever pre-reqs) whenever a breakage occured.  Perhaps this
 method could be made more known.

Wouldn't pinning work very well in this case to allow a mixed testing/unstable 
system?  The trouble packages can then be installed from unstable using the 
-t option, with the majority of the rest of the system runs at a testing 
level (for example all the non GUI stuff).

Copying Large Files 2Gb to smbfs mount

2005-08-03 Thread Christof Hurschler
I've tried Googeling around on this but haven't really found an answer.

I have a debian (Kanotix 2005-3) system from which I'd like to copy
partition images to a NTFS share on a W2K box.  It works well with files
smaller than 2Gb big.  Files 2Gb or larger are simply cut of and terminated
with an error message saying something about file progress being
interrupted.

I thought that the file size limit for NTFS was much bigger than 2Gb.  Is
this maybe a samba limitation?

Thanks for any advice you could give me.

  Not that I know: I have copied 4 Gb (Debian ISO images) back and forth
  between Debian Sarge with Version 3.0.14a-Debian and W2K SP4 machines.
 
 That's because the W2k machines probably used CIFS and not SMB. SMB, at
 least 
 like Samba uses it, does have a 2GiB limit, CIFS does not.
 
How can I circumvent the 2GiB limit?  Can I mount the share as cifs?

LI Hang, recovery??

2003-10-09 Thread Christof Hurschler
Hi,

I'm getting the LI hang on boot.  I tried booting from my floppy, but it
gives me a kernel panic...  

I now read that I can boot from floppy with the rescue root=/dev/hda1, but
I'm assuming that this is the default mode the floppy boots in anyways, or
is it?

If I could get back in with the floppy, I'd try rerunning LILO to get things
back in order, but I'm afraid I'm not going to get that far.  Any
suggestions?  How can I tell if I've got a real hardware problem? Knoppix?

 you can boot with the floppy even if you have hw(hdd) problems.
 if you cannot boot with root= explicit given, then boot with the

Re: LI Hang, recovery?? SOLVED

2003-10-09 Thread Christof Hurschler
I got back in by booting from an installation CD (bf2.4), with root=/dev/hda4 
which was my root partition (I'd forgotten which one I was using, Knoppix 
came in handy to figure that out).  For some reason when I booted from that 
CD my screen was jumbled, even when I switched to a text console.  I guess it 
was loading the wrong modules from my root partition???

Despite the jumbled screen I still managed to log in and run lilo which got me 
back in business.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post.

 you have to boot from the cdrom/floppy in rescue mod, then mount the
 complete system hierarchy under some directory (e.g. /mnt/sysimage), chroot
 to this directory and re-run lilo.

Re: LI Hang, recovery??

2003-10-09 Thread Christof Hurschler
Thanks so much for the response, I got it working (see my SOLVED post).

in the process of trying to get things working I did try Knoppix, I saw that 
my partition was ok, since Knoppix was able to mount it, and I could also 
tell which partition was actually my root partition because it had been a 
while since I had installed Debian.  I didn't get chroot to work because I 
wasn't using chroot correctly, so thanks for the full command line on that.  
I think that will be something usefull to know in the future.

 Apologies if you've already addressed these questions and I just don't
 remember, but:

 * was your machine ever working under linux *before* lilo started doing
   this?  if so, did you change any hardware or software, or did you run
   an update that prompted you to run lilo?  if not, through what means
   did lilo get installed on your system?

 * you may find it easier to boot into a full linux install and work on
   fixing your installation from there.  If you have access to a CD
   burner, I strongly recommend burning yourself a Knoppix (knoppix.org)
   CD and booting off of that.

 * when you've booted off of whatever, take a look at the lilo.conf and
   let us know what it says.  Particularly, double-check that the boot
   and root entries are correct.  Make sure that the image file
   listed under your default label is a file that actually exists.

 * in any event, it sounds like you're going to need to re-run lilo.  If
   you've booted off of another system, like a floppy or knoppix, you can
   mount your real drive somewhere and edit its lilo.conf.  After
   you've done that, you'll want to run
   chroot /new_root /sbin/lilo
   where /new_root is the mount-point of your real drive

 anacron you say the logrotation should occur every X hours/days/etc the

 P.S. I'm really not sure about this, I've never used anachron directly,

 Although I have no experience with the language, you may want to try

 have the ppp daemon run your script as soon as it finishes connecting.
 
 Then, instead of running your script every hour, have the daemon connect
 every hour, then disconnect after a suitable period.

I set the ppp option demand which like you said connects when I try to
access the network.  It terminates the connection after 60 seconds of no
traffic.  It takes maybe 20 seconds to connect (I haven't actually timed it), which
isn't exactly instantaneous, but much faster than my old modem!

I don't have a flat rate service so I don't want to stay connected all the

 Assuming the script ip-up runs *after* the DSL connection is

  If you have a pop mail-provider, go ahead and apt-get install popcheck.
  This will connect you to your pop server, show you the subject lines

I've scanned the cron man pages, but it seems that cron is only set up to do 
daily, weekly, and monthly jobs in Debian.

Is there a simpe way to have a script execute at shorter time intervals. I'd 
like to run the swendeleter.pl script automatically every so often to keep my 
mailbox from overfiling.

Thanks,

Chris

Re: Executing a Script every hour

2003-09-30 Thread Christof Hurschler
Thanks,

I figured it out!  I now have another problem.  The script I'm using is
connecting to the mail server using the Net::POP3 module, and it's timing out
before I can establish my DSL connection.  The module supposedly takes a Timeout
command i.e.

$pop = Net::POP3-new('pop3host', Timeout = 60); 

but I haven't been able to get it to work in swendelete, I always get a
can't connect to mail server error when I run swendelete.pl and don't have an
active connection (I'm usind demand in ppp).

Any suggestions?

 I think you looked in the wrong place (took me a while, as well), from
 'man 5 crontab':
 
 #v+
 Commands  are  executed  by  cron(8)  when the minute, hour, and
 month of year fields match the current time, and when at least one
 of the two day fields (day of month, or day of week) match the
 current  time  (see  ``Note''  below).   cron(8) examines cron
 entries once every minute.  The time and date fields are:
 
 field   allowed values
 -   --
 minute  0-59
 hour0-23
 day of month1-31
 month   1-12 (or names, see below)
 day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
 #v-
 
 Hope that helps...

Fwd: Re: Very slow CD burning

2003-09-25 Thread Christof Hurschler
Is cdrecord particularly conservative about CD quality?

I also have a burner that burns 8X in Windows, but only 4X in Linux.  Is
there some way to force it to burn faster despite not having high-speed media?

BTW cdrecord reports Disk sub type: Ultra High speed Rewritable media (2)
below...

 Hi,
 
 What kind of CD-RW media is that? Is it a High-Speed media? Because if
 not, you can only write them up to 4x speed

fcdslsl: unresolved symbols

2003-09-17 Thread Christof Hurschler
Hi,

I'm trying to compile a driver for my Fritz!DSL SL card.  I've using a
kernel 2.4.20 for which I've created image and header debs using make-dpkg.  I've
added 

-DMODVERSIONS to DEFINES

and

-include $(KRNLINCL)/linux/modversions.h to CCFLAGS

which was suggested in several HOWTOs to deal with this problem, but I still
get unresolved symbols when I try to load the module.

Does anyone have suggestions that might help me.

Thanks,

Chris

Hello Andreas,

oops, that was a typo in the original message.  I can only write about 4x,
which one can see from the diagnostics in the original message.  Sorry.  I'll
check the permissions on the files you mention, but I used k3bsetup which
should have set the rights properly.

 Well, if you have an 8x writer, you can not record faster than 8x.
 That's why it is called 8x.
 
  I've let k3bsetup do it's thing, so I don't understand why I get the 
  warnings below.

 You probably get this warning because cdrecord is not suid root.  Check
 the permissions. If you use SID, /usr/bin/cdrecord only is a script
 that calls two different binaries: cdrecord.mmap and cdrecord.shm. In
 this case you will have to check the permissions of these files. Maybe
 
 dpkg-reconfigure cdrecord 
 
 can change the settings for you.
 
 best regards

Re: Compiling third party KDE packages

2003-08-20 Thread Christof Hurschler
I backported Knetload to Woody with KDE 3.1.2 and it works well.

BTW, is there a program that will get me an online light?

I have ppp working fine with the demand option but would like to know when
I'm online without having to go to a console and do a watch plog. I tried
running kppp, but it quits before a window appears and I can do anything (I don't
really need kppp, but I thought I might use it to monitor online status).

AW: KDE unmount-eject?

2003-07-16 Thread Christof Hurschler
Yes, this is the bahavior I'm seeing.

Chris
 
 Anyway, what is happening, is not just that you have to leave the
 directory where a device is mounted (this is the wanted behaviour you
 describe above). Now, you actually have to exit Konqi 
 entirely, even if
 you're just using it as a web browser, to umount something 
 that you have
 visited with the running Konqi... That's the bug. 
 
 Friendly Tiddely-pom,

KDE unmount-eject?

2003-07-15 Thread Christof Hurschler
Hi,

is there a way to automatically mount and unmount cd's or zip drives in KDE
without having to resort to the supermount patch?

I find it anoying to have to unmount before I can eject.  What is really
annoying is when konquerer blocks a cd drive even though the directory isn't
even being displayed in an active windowy anymore.  Is this a bug?

any suggestions.

thanks,

Chris

Compiling 2.4.20 for Woody

2003-07-07 Thread Christof Hurschler
Hello, I've got a small problem when compiling the 2.4.20 kernel for my
woody machine.

I've learned how to use make-kpkg which is quite nice, I've also learned how
to deal with the .config files, but here is my problem.  When I compile the
kernel everything works fine, including the modules, except that the
Power-Down function doesn't shut the computer off, it just sits there although it
isn't locked up and I can still switch between consoles.  When I use a
prepackaged kernel APM works fine (for example with 2.4.18 deb or with the 2.4.20-k6
Bunk deb) and the computer shuts down normally (I have apmd installed).

Im using the original source for 2.4.20, i.e. not a deb package.  Is there
anything Debian specific that I may be missing for the kernel to work with
apmd?  BTW this isn't machine specific, it happens when I try to compile the
kernel for my laptop too.

Thanks for any hints,

Chris

Re: Compiling 2.4.20 for Woody

2003-07-07 Thread Christof Hurschler
I actually did a similar thing except I used the .config file form Knoppix
3.2 and copied it to my /usr/src/linux-2.4.20/.config, renaming the old
.config to .config.old.  I then used make menuconfig and only chaged the config in
that I took out ISDN and PCMCIA support, everything else I left the same. 
I'll have to try it with a working /boot/config to be sure, but the Knoppix 3.2
kernel also shuts down fine.

Thanks,

Chris

 Move /usr/src/linux/.config to another file (I use fig).
 
 For one of the Debian kernels that works, copy
 /boot/config-2.4.20whatever to /usr/src/linux/.config, and do make
 xconfig. In General Setup note what's turned on, and what's turned off.
 
 Now copy fig back to /usr/src/linux/.config (yes, overwrite it). Do
 make
 xconfig and duplicate the power management settings that work in the
 Debian
 kernel.

[solved] make menuconfig

2003-06-05 Thread Christof Hurschler
Thanks, that's it!

but why this bass-ackwards structure in menuconfig.  Wouldn't it be simpler
to list the drivers and then suggest other functions that need to be enabled
in order for the driver to work??  Yes, I'm a newbie and still learning, but
I spent a considerable amount of time trying to find this stupid thing.

 Try turning on Character Devices--I2C and I2C bit-banging

Sound Advice (no pun intended)

2003-03-29 Thread Christof Hurschler
im running Woody with KDE 3.1 and the 2.4.18 kernel on a k6-350 with 128MB, 

I'd like to be able to listen to music with XMMS while I do stuff like 
download mail (with spamassassin).  I get lots of dropouts even with 
buffrring set to max in XMMS.

I also can't get XMMS working with the System notifications on in KDE, 
although noatun *kinda* works.

Konquerer drags my system almost to a halt.  Am I expecting too much from this 
system?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

ide-scsi

2003-03-25 Thread Christof Hurschler
newbie quesiton, I'm running 2.4.-18-k6 from the deb in woody:

how can I keep ide-scsi from grabbing all my cdroms and zip i.e.

Attached devices: 
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: IOMEGA   Model: ZIP 100  Rev: 14.A
  Type:   Direct-AccessANSI SCSI revision: 
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
  Vendor: IDE-CD   Model: R/RW 8x4x32  Rev: C1.3
  Type:   CD-ROM   ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00
  Vendor: MIDA Model: 40XB Rev: FA16
  Type:   CD-ROM   ANSI SCSI revision: 02

actually I want it to leave my cdrom and zip alone and just attach my cdrw

I also can't seem to find the location in the documentation where the modules 
and their options are described.

TIA,

Chris

timeout

2003-03-23 Thread Christof Hurschler
is there a way to set the default timeout for connecting to a host?

when my modem connects, it takes too long and I always get a host not found 
message and have to try again, by which time the modem has usualy connected.

This happens with every program that trys to access the internet.

Thanks, Chris

My isp requires the email address as the login name.  That works under

In pppconfig I set it to dynamically set the DNS server which I guess it's
doing because I'm getting the lines

 Rerun pppconfig and make the above line read:

 All you have to do is enter your ISP username when asked, not your
 E-Mail address as you did.

  remotename debitel.net
  ipparam debitel.net
 
  usepeerdns
 

 It looks like your modem is working OK and getting the necessary info
 from your ISP (IP, DNS, etc).  I suspect that the error noted
 above is
 resulting in you not automatically logging in to your account at your
 ISP, via PAP.  If you just put in your login name (username) that you
 use when you are asked by pppconfig and your password, then PAP will
 automatically log you in.  Do select PAP authentication.
 Also you can
 check the current status of your username and password by
 looking in
 the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file near the bottom.  I suspect it
 will have
 your E-Mail address listed in the first column... this should be your
 username enclosed is quotes.  Re-running pppconfig with the
 correct info
 should clear this up.

 Normally, not being able to contact various hosts around the internet
 with lynx or konqueror indicates a DNS problem.  You can usually tell
 this if you can ping hosts by IP number but not by name.  I really
 don't think this is your problem here, but if you continue to have
 problems after making the above suggested changes, come on
 back with the
 results of a route and ifconfig command after you have
 established
 the connection.

 Is the connection terminating by itself or did you terminate
 it in the
 above log extract?  If it is terminating itself, then it
 would add more
 support to you not really getting logged in, IMHO.

 Cheers,
 -Don Spoon-
