I looked into manager.c and found the place where nautilus is called. I 
tried to insert some debugging output, but i am unfamiliar with 
changing/compiling debian packages.
I fetched the source package with apt-get source, extracted the tarball, 
edited manager.c, repacked the tarball and invoked dpkg-buildpackage, 
but it gave lots of errors such as:


dpkg-source: cannot represent change to 
gnome-volume-manager-1.2.1.tar.gz: binary file contents changed
dpkg-source: building gnome-volume-manager in 
gnome-volume-manager_1.2.1-1.dsc


Can someone help ?

No nautilus window pops up when media inserted

2006-01-20 Thread Heinrich Rebehn

Hi all,

Since i got no reply on the gnome-nautilus ML i am trying my luck here. :-)

I am running Debian testing (i386) on an Athlon64, Kernel is 2.6.12 w/ 
Debian patches.


When i insert a memory stick into USB, gnome-volume-manager
automatically mounts the media under /media/usbdisk.
However, no nautilus window pops up, nor do i see a corresponding icon
on the desktop.

gnome-volume-properties shows that all needed features (mount/browse
when inserted) are enabled.

Any ideas where to look for error messages or such? Who should signal 
nautilus that a new device is available?


Nautilus is 2.10.1

Hello,

This is not my area of expertise, but just in case:

A) Are you sure the disk is being mounted? Try the command 'mount' (no
quotes) to make sure.


Yes, the USB stick is mounted.


B) Check /etc/fstab and make sure you have permissions to read the
disk as a normal user.


There is no entry for /media/usbdisk in /etc/fstab, it is not needed if 
media is mounted via pmount by gnome-volume manager.


Files on the disk are owned by the logged-in user!


Just some ideas!


Thanks for your reply :-)

I'm looking for an application to do remote administration of my

webmin. I have googled but not found anything. I suppose it would be
straightforward to do this with Perl or even shell scripting, but I
don't have much experience with either, and as I assume someone has
already done this, why reinvent the wheel? In addition to my
situation, such an application would also be useful for managing a
system from clients such as cell phones or email capable pagers.


What is the mail agent on the receiving end?  A client like
Evo or KMail, or a process like fetchmail?  Or an MTA that spools
email, waiting for the connection?

If it's a client, I'd say you're stuck, since only stupid MS
products would execute commands in emails.


Couldn't you write something which reads /var/mail/$userid?



That's presuming the mail handler puts mail in the mail spool,
instead of POP (to be picked up by the MUA) or IMAP.

Mail is always delivered to the mail spool. The POP or IMAP daemons pick 
it up from there and deliver it to the MUA.


How about piping in .forward? Like:

|/usr/local/bin/mailcmd.sh

This would feed your mail into mailcmd.sh

The script is executed under the account of the mail recipient. Note 
that some MUAs refuse to execute scripts as root.

Hi there,

I did a small programm with gambas. It is there to control an LCD
panel for setting up display parameters of X11 and networking
parameters of my debian sarge distribution.

everything is fine, but the program needs root privileges to
access the LCD panel (via /dev/lcd), the networking file
interfaces, the ifup/ifdown/ifconfig commands and so on.

Now my question is, what do I have to do to get the programm
started at boot up (with rcS???) having root privileges???

Thanks, best regards,
Michael.


Just put a link to the program in /etc/rcS.d or /etc/rc2.d, depending on 
when it must be executed. The name of the link must be sth like 
SnnLCDsetup with the value of nn controlling the execution order - lower 
value for nn means earlier execution.


This way your program is automatically exectuded as root.

Currently, the clock is almost one hour late. But specifiying '-s'

 I would advice you to use ntpdate or date to adjust the time in such a
 manour that ntpd can cope with the diffrence. From the man of ntpd the
 -s is for:
 
-s statsdir
  Specify the directory path for files created by the
statistics facility.
 

I am using the openntpd package, not ntp. Its manpage states:


-s  Set the time immediately at startup if the local clock is
off by more than 180 seconds.  Allows for a large time correction,
eliminating the need to run rdate(8) before starting ntpd.
...

With openntpd i have only one program for the initial time setting and
the continuous adjustment.
But id doesn't seem to work. Is no one else using openntpd?

Just an idea:  maybe you have a seperate partition for /tmp, which is
mounted noexec (as a security measure).  If so, you might want to try
remounting it exec temporarily

# mount -o remount,exec /tmp

If that should solve the problem with a2ps, you could try to

* file a bug report

* set TMPDIR to some other directory where you have execute permission
before you run a2ps. -- Not sure what technique a2ps uses to create
tempfiles (there are quite a few...) -- at least some of them honor the
setting of the environment variable TMPDIR...

* have /tmp be mounted executable, permanently (in fstab)

Good luck,
Almut



Thanks for your reply, Almut

i already checked the mount options for /tmp and played with TMPDIR (i 
should have mentioned that in my mail :-)).


I then compared with my system at home where a2ps is working. strace 
there gives:


[pid  5604] execve(/usr/bin/gv, [gv, /tmp/a2_0T7bPF], [/* 23 vars

On the faulty system i get:

[pid  8416] execve(/tmp/a2_N4Fh2p, [/tmp/a2_N4Fh2p], [/* 25 vars
*/]) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

The first parameter (gv) is missing. A further look at /etc/a2ps.cfg 
revealed that i had inadvertently commented out the


Variable: ghostview gv

line. After removing the comment, a2ps works fine!!!

type 6	~500MB 	for Boot
hda2: 
extended 
rest of disk
hda5: 
type 83	2..4GB	for complete Linux except /boot
hda6: 
type 82	2xMEM	for swap
hda7: 
type 83	~4G	for /home (important stuff that needs backup)
hda8: 
type 83	(big)	for /data (multimedia stuff, downloads...)
hda9: 
spare for other O/S ?

That's just my EUR 0.02

Does anyone know where libodbcpsql has gone? It was in unixodbc_2.1.1-5_i386.deb 
but is no longer in unixodbc_2.1.1-7_i386.deb!


As a result, i am no longer able to access my postgres db from StarOffice.

suck broken in testing

2001-12-06 Thread Heinrich Rebehn

Hi list,

Since my last apt-get upgrade yesterday, suck(1) does not work anymore:

$ suck
suck: relocation error: suck: undefined symbol: stat

Unfortunately, i cannot recall anymore which packages got upgraded during the 
apt-get upgrade. How can i find out, which lib contains (or should contain) the 
symbol stat?


$ ldd `which suck`
libsocks.so.4 = /usr/lib/libsocks.so.4 (0x4001a000)
libnsl.so.1 = /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40028000)
libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4003d000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4000)

How do i find out the date of those libs? According to 
ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/Contents-i386.gz it should be in 
libs/libsocks4 but i cannot find it there.


Can anyone help me?

Re: managing multiple machines

David Wright wrote:


Several posters have pointed out that I can get DHCP to assign IPs based

share hosts using ldap, I can still give each machine a unique name, too.

Now the only problem I can think of with sharing /usr and /etc is that my
file server's /etc will contain stuff like /etc/exports, which will end up
telling every machine to be a file server. H.




You can use a common /etc and replace the client-specific files with links to 
/var, like


/etc/exports - /var/etc/exports
/etc/X11/XF86Config - /var/etc/X11/XF86Config
..etc

You will however need a unique /var ant /tmp for each client.

This works for me on my diskless cluster.

dpkg -S will not show you files that are installed by the base.
You might searching with http://packages.deban.org



I'm afraid packages.deban.org doesn't exist.

Re: Creating CD's from ISO's

Hi Jack,

since you are talking about CD-formats (iso9660,joliet), my first guess
would be that you had your cd burning software create a new cd image
containing the donloaded image as its only file. This is wrong! Try to
pursuade the program to _not_ create an image, but burn your downloaded
image _as is_ to the CD.

HTH,

Hi,

thanks for this hint. I had that same error message (PAGE_OFFSET_RAW'

I had copied my .config from a 2.2.10 kernel source, used 'make xconfig'
and compiling failed. I then tried 'make oldconfig' and it asked me:

Maximum Physical Memory (1GB, 2GB) [1GB] (NEW)

Obviously, 'make xconfig' fails to set this parameter. Or is use of
'make oldconfig' mandatory, when using an old .config?

 2. When I run checkpc I get a message indicating that /dev/lp0 is not

 What kind of configure does it mean and how do I do it? Why didn't the 
 package configure this when I installed it?
 
The error message is somewhat misleading. Not configured means that
the lp driver could not find the hardware for lp0 or that the driver has
not even been loaded. Does your kernel contain support for the parallel
interface (compiled in or as module)? Also, you might want to try
/dev/lp1, depending on the I/O address for your parallel interface.

after doing a new installation of debian potato on our server, i have a

If i issue a tftp get command on a client, tftp hangs.
If i do 'strace tftp', it works. Same if i strace in.tftpd on the

Is this a weird timing problem?

seem to be ok.

 one .Xdefaults file which doesn't do what I want).
 
 Specifically, I'd like to change the font Netscape uses for it's toolbars. If 
 anyone has a link or an example .Xdefaults, let me know.
 
 Thanks.

Look in /usr/lib/netscape/Netscape.ad (At least this is true for V4.5)

Re: WindowMaker and GNOME

 I've installed GNOME and the wmaker-gnome package (using apt and a

 I'm running GNOME by using an .xsession with exec gnome-session in it.
 
 Any ideas about what's going wrong or what I can do to diagnose the
 problem?

Did you install libwraster2 ? It is needed by WindowMaker-gnome but is
not automatically installed.

/var/lib/dpkg on diskless linux

1999-03-22 Thread Heinrich Rebehn

Hi,

I operate a cluster of diskless linux PCs using debian hamm. It works quite
well and i can say that debian causes the least problems with diskless machines
(tried SuSe an Redhat too).
However i was wondering about /var/lib/dpkg. Normally, in a diskless cluster,
every client gets its own copy of /etc, /dev and /var, while /bin, /sbin, /lib
and /usr are there only once.
/var/lib/dpkg, however, which is NOT specifc for each client, occupies some
10 to 20 MB of disk space. Also, if i install or upgrade packages on the server,
the change is not reflected in the client's copy of /var/lib/dpkg.

My questions:
 1) Why is this stuff in /var? Shouldn't it rather go to /usr?
 2) Can i replace /var/lib/dpkg on the clients with a link to the server's 
/var/lib/dpkg?
 3) Is /var/lib/dpkg only used at install/upgrade time?

Thank you for your  help.
