shim / MS updates
Recent Windows updates caused certain bootloaders to make the blacklist, I just had an argument that went like: why wasn't there a shim update when MS announced this in April? And then someone kept insisting that when the Secure Boot feature was designed Linux distributors did not name an authority for signing and thus it was their own fault. Sounds wrong to me as usually MS strongarms the rest of the world out of platform control ans I suspect much the same happened with Secure Boot, but I wouldn't know. Does someone know how this went politically "back then"? Dex
caps on jessie breaks kodi from backports, works with wheezy package
Hi all, recently upgraded my media center/file server from wheezy to jessie, went quite well apart from one thing: I installed kodi 15.2 from jessie-backports and that (as well as other programs depending on caps) throw an error "Unable to find label "Eq" in plugin library file "/usr/lib/ladspa/caps.so". Seems the same as this: bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=722143 but the bug is archived, so I'd assuem it's fixed, apparently isn't. For now I installed the 0.4.2 package from wheezy which happens to wrk but is not a good solution. From what I read a patch is in unstable, but what about stable and backports then?

missing bits of graphicsmagick-dev in Jessie?
I've been trying to build a fresh version of xastir (Ham Radio APRS) in Raspbian Jessie and in Kubuntu 15.10, (both Debian derivatives), with near-identical failures. I'm using a CVS script that uses apt-get to install all dependencies and source, then configures, builds and installs xastir. Both systems have built successfully to date (Raspbian Wheezy and Kubuntu up to 15.04) but now with Jessie basics underlying their ./configure process reports: checking for WriteImage in -lGraphicsMagick... no ... with consequent inability to draw raster maps. The common factor is the Debian system basis. I hope this points to a useful course of action.

recompile 3rd party modules before reboot?
I use deb7 as a media center base (DVB-S2-PVR with TVheadend and xbmc), but the DVB-S2 module (Technotrend TT-connect S2-3600) needs the tvlinux modules in order to not have the kernel scream and die when talked to. Now, each time the kernel gets an upgrade I: -disable tvheadend -reboot -recomplie linuxtv drivers -reboot again -set tvheadend to autostart and start it manually for this time. Now, a lot nicer would be to compile linuxtv before rebooting, but how do I point it at the new kernel? Dex -- -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a C UL++ P+>++ L+++> E-- W++ N o?

custom HDD powermangement not working anymore
Hi, I wasn't too happy with the HDD power mangement so I wrote the script below tailored to my needs. Basically, it looks for activity on the device and if there was none over the past 10 minutes it sends the disks to sleep. Now - this worked a charm ever since I wrote it, now recently I noticed the keepalive script (see even further below) I use to "keep a foot in the door" (liek when working with gimp so the array doesn't go to sleep and has to spin up and has me waiting everytime I did not save in a while) does not keep the array alive anymore, and I can't figure why. Command is issued, devname did not change, binaries are in place...

How would it. If you want to saturate 4G*bit* ethernet (gigaBIT! not byte!) which comes down to 500MB/s raw across all interfaces, so 125MB/s on one nic you definetly do *not* want linux softraid 6. either patch up the kernel with ZFS or if you wanna cross the t's and dot the i's: get a HP Proliant N40L, put a KVR1333D3E9SK2/16G 2x8GB ECC mem kit in it, install FreeNAS, add 4 7k2 rpm drives of your choice and create a z-raid over it, you should see 400MB/s. Has 2 slots, on pcie16x, one 1x so should take a 4xGBE card and there you go. Due to the massive caching and whatnot zraid uses and hence the amount of data in the 16GB make sure it's UPS backed. So far we're looking at roundabout 450 USD without disks and UPS, but you'll have one heck of a NAS. Now, *this* totally is not debian anymore, so back on topic: I have a 5x1500GB raid5 from 72krpm sata drives and without optimizations, LVM2 and xfs on top of it get about 80MB/s write speed. raid6 probably would slow to a crawl (platform is a core i5 quad @2.3GHz) > > On Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 7:38 PM, Gary Dale wrote: > > On 10/04/13 10:15 AM, Muhammad Yousuf Khan wrote: > >> i was watch a person's video regarding RAID 6 with mdadm > >> his configuration was very low, some old system probably > >> 2GB RAM, 3x8TB Hard Drives, 4port Ethernet card for channeling.

The array check completed fine, and when I force-fed the array some test data I saw no trace of link resets in messages. I rather suspect the chipset or cabling to be the flaky part, when the system was all fresh I had quite a few issues of that kind until I pimped the chipset cooling. Cables are standard sATA cables like they come with any motherboard, 50cm in length.

I use these options to mount an NTFS partition: users,gid=fuse,umask=0002,silent,utf8,locale=de_DE.utf8 Now "silent" is supposed to suppress warnings on chmod/chown errors, each time a copy operation is completed I get "couldn't change permissions on XY" I need to copy a pretty big range of files to that disk soon and really can't take konqueror throwing an error dialog at me for each and every operation.

Re: machine doesnt appear in dhcp leases, resolve issues - part of the mytery solved
Ok, partly cleared: m0n0wall doesn't list machines in leases that have fixed IPs assigned. The other box recently got a new NIC and the MAC filter didn't match it hence it got an ordinary dhcp lease and appeared in the list. Why m0n0wall does this is beyond me. Anyway - still haven't figured why three debian boxes see each other by hostname but as soon as kubuntu comes it it's blind. I know, kubuntu issue most likely but still I'd like to know how debian actually resolves with no DNS server on the local net around.

send host-name is configured and apart from that there's not much in it...
That's pretty much it:
send host-name "xerxes";
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name,
netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu;
timeout 60;
retry 60;
script "/sbin/dhclient-script";
Running dhclient manually even tells me the router accepts the request on port
67 and an IP is leased.
What elses seems odd to me is that there's only one NIC in the box but it's
eth2. Why?

machine doesnt appear in dhcp leases, resolve issues.
Got a etch r4 box (xerxes) and a m0n0wall firewall/router. Another box (shodan) used to run etch r4, too, now is on Kubuntu/etch dual boot. From Kubuntu I can't ping xerxes by name, unknown host. I can ping shodan from xerxes tho. In m0n0walls interface in dhcp leases xerxes doesn't appear. shodan does, from both etch and kubuntu. m0n0wall itself doesn't act as an DNS server so in the first place I don't know how the two debian machines resolved their names - if I did I could set up kubuntu the same but I just can't figure it. And: why doesn't xerxes appear in the leases list? Am I missing something? wrong config option in.. well, where?

Pointers for running the installer appreciated as well. exported IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=true, ran it, threw errors like ### include/xen/interface/memory.h:97: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in de claration of ‘DEFINE_GUEST_HANDLE_STRUCT’ include/xen/interface/memory.h:97: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration include/xen/interface/memory.h:107: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘domid_t’ include/xen/interface/memory.h:120: warning: data definition has no type or storage class include/xen/interface/memory.h:120: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in d eclaration of ‘DEFINE_GUEST_HANDLE_STRUCT’ include/xen/interface/memory.h:120: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration include/xen/interface/memory.h:129: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘domid_t’ include/xen/interface/memory.h:143: warning: data definition has no type or storage class include/xen/interface/memory.h:143: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in d eclaration of ‘DEFINE_GUEST_HANDLE_STRUCT’ include/xen/interface/memory.h:143: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration /tmp/selfgz6360/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv.c: In function ‘nv_kern_open’: /tmp/selfgz6360/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv.c:2044: error: implicit declaration of function ‘HYPERVISOR_memory_op’ make[3]: *** [/tmp/selfgz6360/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv. o] Fehler 1 make[2]: *** [_module_/tmp/selfgz6360/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1/usr/sr c/nv] Fehler 2 NVIDIA: left KBUILD. nvidia.ko failed to build! make[1]: *** [module] Fehler 1 make: *** [module] Fehler 2 -> Error. ### Running 2.6.25-2-686 from backports.

gtk themes not applied when launching gtk apps from kmenu or kicker
Funny issue here: when I launch gtk apps like Gimp, Sonata, gThumb from KMenu, kicker quick launcher or "run command" the gtk theme is not applied. When I run from a terminal, all fine.

Did you do that? wpa-supplicant installed, read across the docs quickly (closer look as soon as I have access to the laptop in question again).

Ah, ok: all I want is plain wifi, no fancy stuff like aircrack. Reason I talked to the aircrack people was they usually have their hands on beta drivers a tad earlier. Like I said, can probe it, works, scans WEP APs. Don't have the laptop around right now, anything in particular apart from the supplicant docs I should look at?

script makes kernel panic
Got a laptop here (Samsung X22), WinXP Pro and data partition in /dev/sda[23].
Wrote this script to backup both partitions 1:1 to an external USB disk.
Teh script itself works absolutely as intended.
BUT: I added an entry to GRUB's menu.lst like that:
title Windows XP Backup
root(hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-686 root=/dev/sda5 rw
init=/sbin/windows_backup
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-686
savedefault
When I select that entry, kernel comes up, script is executed alright, but
after the script called
"halt" it just sits there and eventually throws a kernel panic - and I have no
clue why.
If someone has pointers?
(Messages partly in german but I added comments. If anything is unclear just
ask.
But not about that it's newbie-ish, I know that :) )

kernel tells me stuff on tty1 - want it on tty 8 or 10. how?
Encountered an oddity on a headless machine with etch r3: When the system is booted, kernel messages are put on tty1. Since this is the terminal I login to after it's booted this is highly annoying since my screen is garbled when I run scripts and the kernel messages me about... mounted disks or plugged ethernet cables etc. I've never seen this with other distros afair, Slackware puts ll its kernel output on tty8 for example.

software raid5 array degrades from initrd
So here's the story: Software raid5 on debian etch with 2.6.22 kernel from backports. Hardware: Asus K8N-E Deluxe, nForce3/250Gb chipset. Has: 2 sATA ports from the nF3 (sata_nv) 4 sATA ports from an onboard Silicon Image 3114 (sata_sil) 4 sATA ports from an PCI controller, Silicon Image 3114, too. I used to run this setup: 4x Samsung Spinpoint 250GB on the onboard 3114, started by initrd. All fine. Now I upgraded to 5x500GB. Built the array degraded on the 4 PCI controller ports, transferred all the data, then moved the 4x500 to the onboard 3114. Now I added the fifth disk and --add'ed it to the array and it synced. I thought all was fine. Wrong. Upon reboot, the 5th disk that now sat on the PCI controller alone was kicked from the array for being non fresh. I suspected a shutdown problem, found one with 2.6.22 and the shutdown utility, fixed that and resynced. Next reboot: same story. So I synced, booted a live CD (knoppix) and checked out mdadm -E in regard of the event count. All ok. So no shutdown problem. I even moved the fifth disk from the PCI controller to the NV controller on the board. Two resyncs later I decided to reconf mdadm to *not* start from the initrd and not auto-assemble at boot time. I then assembled the array manually and tadaa, all fine, array works and is synced. Now: what's going on here? both onboard 3114 and pci 3114 controllers are handled by the same kernel module, so either initrd sees all or none. Why would it not wanna see the 5th disk from initrd, but when I manually assemble, it's fine? Dex -- -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a- C UL++ P+>++ L+++> E-- W++ N o?

faubackup filling disc
Hi, i use faubackup to make backup of server to backup server. I keep 7 days hystory: # cat /etc/faubackup.conf package FAUBACKUP; $backup = "/var/backups/server"; $autocreate = 0; $keepyears = -1; $keepmonths = -1; $keepweeks = -1; $keepdays = 7; $rsh= "rsh"; 1; # In cron i use this two commands: at 20:30 ... faubackup --clean /var/backups/server/data at 21:00 ... faubackup -L /mnt/server/data/ /var/backups/server/data/ So i have 7 directories with hard copies (of not changed files). Disk is filled to 63% . Problem start when backup for some reason doesnt finish and live directory "working-3416". On google i read that i can safely remove this directory, but when i remove this directory, next backup fill disk to 100%. It looks like, after i delete working... directory, that faubackup is not making hardlinks of files anymore, but copies them again. Do you have idea?

/etc/rc5.d managed by webmin
Hi, I'm managing start/stop script in /etc/rc5.d by webmin. Somehow i succeded to brake my system. After installation, everithing wass working fine. Than I stoped some services, which i considered unused, but than i could not mount my USB stick and lost posibility to restart system from gnome start menu. So now i'm trying to find out which services i need. Do you know some documentation where i can see which servis is for what and in which order should be run? Becouse there is no good description of services. Also webmin is puting all numbers for services to 99 and now my eth0 tries to go up before network hardware is detected. Is webmin good for managing services? I had also problem with shorewall after creating configuration with webmin. On shorewall mailing list they told me that webmin is quite behind shorewall and is not god for managment of shorewall. Is webmin reliable for administration at all?

But masive (whole tree) deletion happened to me, when SRC directory was not mounted and directory "/mnt/server/dir/" was empty. Do you know some way to evoid this to happen? Thanks alot.

OpenVPN hardware requirements
Hi, we have 1Mbps/1Mbps internet connection. We have firewall with hardware: Pentium 400MHz, Ram 192 MB. We use it as firewall, proxy (squid) and OpenVPN server. Is this hardware enough? To me it seemed, that it's enough, untill I have run also OpenVPN client on this firewall that connected to other network, so that our local network could easily acces this other network. I noticed that running OpenVPN client on firewall made slover connection as if I have run OpenVPN client directly on PC. So this lead me to conslution, that our firewall hardware is not enough for OpenVPN (client or server). What do you thing? What hardware do we need? Thanks alot.

Re: help: logcheck reboots my ubuntu gracefully but randomly

Re: Unable to print from mozilla-firefox only
I had the same problem. Than I find out, that there are two printing systems (CUPS and LPR). CUPS is newer and actualy recomended.I had printer instaled for CUPS, but i was runing bouth systems. Some aplication printed through CUPS and some through LPR. Firefox was printing through LPR, so nothing was printed. Solution: -remove packages for LPR -install packages cupsys... and also package cupsys-bsd. Later is needed for, that cupsys understand and accepts also commands for LPR (that is why you have to remove LPR) Dexter On Sat, 2006-02-18 at 23:50 -0600, Jason M Cox wrote: > This issue started when trying to print from mozilla-firefox.

Re: Routing, Bridging and VPN
In shorewall you generaly define one ZONE for each interfacace like this: /etc/shorewall/interfaces ## #ZONEINTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS VPN tun0detect dropunclean,blacklist,tcpflags NET eth0detect norfc1918,dropunclean,blacklist,tcpflags LOCAL eth1detect dropunclean,blacklist,tcpflags DMZ eth2detect dropunclean,blacklist,tcpflags #LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES BEFORE THIS ONE -- DO NOT REMOVE You can also define some ip adresses as ZONE like this: /etc/shorewall/hosts ### FRD eth0:125.213.63.56,222.111.0.4 routeback,tcpflags,blacklist,norfc1918,nosmurfs ## Make policy for trafic betwen ZONES: /etc/shorewall/policy ### #SOURCE DESTPOLICY fw all ACCEPT LOCAL NET ACCEPT LOCAL FRD ACCEPT LOCAL DMZ ACCEPT LOCAL VPN ACCEPT VPN DMZ ACCEPT DMZ VPN ACCEPT DMZ NET ACCEPT DMZ FRD ACCEPT NET all DROP # THE FOLLOWING POLICY MUST BE LAST all all REJECT #LAST LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE Then write some rules: /etc/shorewall/rules # #ACTION SOURCE DESTPROTO DEST REDIRECT:info FRD 5000udp 5000 ### This rule will redirect concetion making packeds from selected ip adresses on Internet to firewall itself (firewall will accept this packeds for itself). Port 5000 i use for incoming VPN conections. It willl be loged (:info). Make masquerade: /etc/shorewall/masq ## #INTERFACE SUBNET ADDRESS eth0eth1 eth0eth2 #LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE ### Masquerade is needed for, that packeds from your intranet (e.g. 192.168.2.0) are visible on internet as packeds from your firewall internet address. My OpenVPN config file looks like this: /etc/openvpn/server.conf port 5000 proto udp dev tun0 ca keys/ca.crt cert keys/server.crt key keys/server.key dh keys/dh1024.pem server 10.8.1.0 255.255.255.0 ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt push "route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0" client-config-dir ccd keepalive 10 120 comp-lzo persist-key persist-tun status status.log log-append openvpn.log verb 4 # port 5000 is port where my firewall accept conection. Use protocol udp (tcp will be tunneled through vpn - no need 2x tcp). dev tun0 will create interface tun0, that you use in shorewall configuration. So that`s it.

lpr: lp: unknown printer
Hi, i have succesfully instaled network printer HP-Color-LaserJet-4650. When I go http://localhost:631 to administration of printer, theere the name of the printer is "HP-Color-LaserJet-4650". I`ve had stupid idea to remove lp printer from system through webmin. Now my problem is, that on some programs printer is working, but some not. I do not get even error from grafical program and nothing is printed. Can i make e.g. "lp" alias to "HP-Color-LaserJet-4650". How can i diadnostic problem?

Re: apt-get upgrade fails due to kernel-image problem
Well, you have only 6,7M free on /boot device. Whole disk is partitioned wery strangely. I would propose for desktop station: 1G /boot 1G swap 1G /var/log rest / Or something else, but defitely not, what you have now. I would propose you to reinstall system and make bether partitioning.

Re: How to make a raid 1 on a webserver on woody remotely
Of coursee kernel suport RAID. !!!Before you do anything, make backup of data!!! You must format disk, so that it can be used as raid. Best would be if you'd have 2 new harddisks. Format them as raid and mount them. Than you can copy data in to raid. System files would stay without redundancy. With coping system files, it is risky(once i wass succesfull, once not). You could reinstall system to be sure. If you have just one new disk, then risky way would be: format new disk as raid, add only one disk into raid. Copy data into raid (with one disk missing). Than format old disk as raid. Add old disk to raid. Raid should sinchronize disks (copy data to added disk). This is just idea. Once i wonted to do it this way, but it did not work and i had to reinstall the system.

Re: Linux crashing often
Maybe it is just xwindows server or some graphical aplication that freez dispaly manager. You can try some of this: CTRL+ALT+BACKSPASE - this will kill display manager. CTRL+ALT+F1 -this will switch you to terminal console, where you can login and diagnostic problem. See /var/log/SFree86.0.log if you find some arror there. $df-will show you mounted disks, try to cd to some directory if it's accesible. Mayby you run some aplication that freez. Try to find out whitch aplication can it be. Dexter On Sun, 2005-11-20 at 04:00 -0800, Alex Goldman wrote: > My Debian Sarge system crashes like daily (the last few days).

gnome resolution
Hi, i've debian installed on Laptop 15". I use Gnome DM. I 've set up resolution 1024x768, which is i think maximum for my LCD display, becouse XF86Server ignores higher resolution. But still my icons and open windows are quite big, like I would use lover resolution. If I lover lesolution to 800x600, than there are even biger. Did I miss some setings? Why I can't get bether resolution? Thanks Dexter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How to show a number of available packages?
Well, I don't know, maybe they use different cache. But I'm curious, why do you need to know number of available packages? What is this information good for?

Re: How to show a number of available packages?
see commands: "apt-cache" and "apt-get". Those are commands for searching and installing debian packages on command line. Maybe you can make some script of it. See manuals.

I tried before something like:
F=$(find .);for I in $F;do ; done
But, if there were spaces in files names, it broke file name on parts.
That is why I tried to call function from "find" command.

bash - executing function in "find" command
Hi,
bash command "find" let's you execute other commands like this:
$find . -exec commandname {} param1 param2 \;
This should do: for each file in actual directory tree run:
$commandname filename param1 param2
("{}" stands for filename)
So far I understood it from manuals and it's running as I want.
But I want to use bash function instead of command. Somehow, I can't get
to run function like this. If I run:
$find . -exec functionname {} par1 par2 \;
I get a message:
find: functionname: No such file or directory
find: functionname: No such file or directory
find: functionname: No such file or directory
.
for each file in actual directory tree. Of course I defined function
before.
Problem is not, that command "find" runs in different environment, and
doesn't know variables and functions from parent shell. Because i tried:
A="XXX"
$find . -exec echo $A \;
XXX
XXX
XXX
XXX
XXX
XXX
$
And I also tried:
export -f functionname(){
.
}
Which also didn't help.
Somebody has a idea how to run function there?
Thanks alot

Your error is also in file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". So how to get this
file to Windows?
- create directory: mkdir /mnt/WindowsD
-to file "/etc/fstab" add line:
/dev/hda2 /mnt/WindowsD vfat defaults 0 0
-and run command:
mount /mnt/WindowsD
Like this you'll mount windows particion /dev/hda2 on
directory /mnt/WindowsD. Maybe you'll need to change vfat option (fs
type) or particion number.
Copy file to windows partition:
cp /var/log/ /mnt/WindowsD
and reboot to Windows.
Good luck.

Laptops for Debian GNU/Linux?
The site is a rich source of information on GNU/Linux laptops. http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ But it's almost too much information and to general in nature to be of immediate use. I still have no idea how to go about comparing the hundreds of models listed and what each one's strengths and weaknesses are in terms of running my preferred OS: Debian GNU/Linux. Perhaps some of you folks would be willing to share your own laptop preferences? Are there any hardware companies you know of that provide GPL drivers and support open standards?

RE: Debian/gnu Linux Install
Hi Jeremy, How are you sending this e-mail if your system won't boot? You will have to find a boot floppy for your computer (DOS, Windows, or Linux.) You can also make one from a working system. If your CD ROM drive is not recognized by the OS, you will need to find the driver disk that came with it or download one from the Internet. You may even have a SCSI CD ROM in which case you may need to find a driver for your SCSI card. Either way you will need provide us with more details. It may be easier to just take the computer to a friend or computer repair shop near by. Dexter Graphic > -Original Message- > From: Jeremy S.
