screen ping-pong
Hello, Looking for some pointers for a longstanding intermittent issue (first seen early this summer). Basic setup info: - Dell Lattitude E6400 (Intel x4500 video) connected to an external display, using DisplayPort at both ends - Up-to-date Wheezy, with some packages from Backports, including kernel 3.10 - although the problem also happened with 3.2 Issue: - Upon screen awakening (the computer itself isn't sleeping), the screen won't wakeup in X mode. Switching to console (ctrl-alt-F1), both screens are on. - It is possible to wakeup the screen using the laptop' "switch display" hotkey (Fn-F8), although in those cases, the image may start to bounce from the internal display to the external one, to both, etc. - The bouncing usually stops after 20-60s. - At that time, the mouse is very sluggish. Top shows sometimes (but not always) that Xorg is using 100% CPU on one of the cores. - From that point, the bouncing may or may not restart anytime. I understand that much details are missing. At this point, I'm especially looking for: - links to similar issues - tools that I could use to get a better understanding of what's going on Thanks, Jean-Marc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I recovered the files stored on it using photorec but it is a little bit a raw-recover splitted into generic directories with generic names.

But afterward, I do not know what to do (I still have no time to search for a solution). The only thing coming n mind is to recreate a new part table.

measuring RAID arrays performances
Hi guys, I am trying to measure the perf' of RAID arrays to be sure of the layout I'll use for my future set up. Based on this article, RAID10,f2 seems to be the best set up: https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Performance But if I create a RAID10,f2 array (ext4 FS) and if I compare its perf' against a RAID1 arrays using bonnie++, I do not see any big differences.

MUA: Sylpheed vs Claws-mail
Hi everybody, I followed you discussions about MUAs and I have some questions about the same. Running a Debian Testing, I use Sylpheed (3.2.0) and Claws-mail (3.8.1), the second being a fork of the first one if I understand everything. They are difficult to disentangle but I have to say I prefer Sylpheed because it is "whiter" than Claws-mail (in french, being "plus blanc" means having a presentation more clear). My question: in Sylpheed, when you got a signed mail, you directly see if it is a good signature at the end of the mail. With Claws-mail, I do not find a way to check signatures. Any idea ?

Usually, groups are used on GNU/Linux for access control, to control access to the files, directories, and peripherals. So, being in the admin group will allow users to get access to the files having admin as group. /etc/sudoers determines a user's sudo privileges.

Debian on RAID0 with Wheezy
Hi, I'm trying for the 2 last days to install a Debian Wheezy on a RAID0 drive but I'm facing many issues. I have 2 x 2TB drives configured in a 4TB RAID0 drive. I initially used the b3 net installer but it was missing the grub bios partition. Now, I'm using B4, starting it with dmraid=true. I'm able to see the RAID0 drive. I'm using the automated configuration to create the / and the /home. So far, evertything is going well. I'm even able to install grub (which I was not able to do initially) on Volume0. But when I'm re-starting, grub is not able to boot on the RAID drive. I'm getting a "dm-raid45" not found in modules.dep. I tried to follow the steps here: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/SataRaid but when I'm starting in rescue dmraid=true mode, I'm not able to see the raid partitions. I have the drive in /dev/mapper/_Volume0, but only it. Not the Volume0p0 to Volume0p5 entries. I'm a bit out of idea. I don't know what to try next. Does anyone have solved this already?

Re: cryptdisks runlevel configuration for lvm2 + encrypted swap file
Since no-one replied yet... I don't have an answer, only ideas. IIRC, scripts in only one of the rc?.d are executed on startup. Which one depend on the requested runlevel, default value being specified in /etc/inittab. Looking at my cryptdisks and cryptdisks-early scripts, they appear to be almost identical, both using code in /lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions I haven't found a way to specify whether a disk is an early one or not. The only difference seems to be that when in "early" mode, failures aren't reported. Not sure how versed you are in script programming, but my take at debugging this would be to add more traces in cryptdisks.functions file, especially in the handle_crypttab_line_start funtion, that is called for each line in crypttab during startup. I'd be adding lines to check - whether /var is mounted - whether /dev/urandom can be accesses - function error codes Good luck. I'm looking forward reading your explanation on what the issue was. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

PCIe card reader not visible in KDE's "Device notifier" Plasma widget
Hello, I'm trying to avoid doing a manual "sudo mount" whenever I plug an ExpressCard CompactFlash card reader. I'd like to use KDE's Device notifier plasma widget instead. Drivers are OK since a manual mount works. The widget however doesn't react to the card insertion, like it does for USB thum drives / USB hard drives / CDs. However, it is visible in the "show all drives" window (normal view is "removable drives only"). A mount attempt from there fails due to privilege issues, which I consider the same "it's not a removable device" issue. Readings lead to HAL, UDEV and DBUS, but it's quickly starting to look like chinese. This is with Squeeze on AMD64. Ideas?

[solved] Mysql database interface problem with Sympa Debian upgrade to 5.3.2
Copy of http://serendipity.ruwenzori.net/index.php/2007/04/25/solved-mysql-database-interface-problem-with-sympa-debian-upgrade-to-532 I upgraded the Sympa mailing list manager to 5.2.3-2 using the Debian package from the "Testing" repository. The database part of the upgrade procedure was a bit fussy so instead of solving its problems I simply backed up the tables, dropped them, ran the upgrade procedure and restored them. That workaround worked fine for making the Debian packaging system happy. But Sympa itself was definitely not happy. On starting Sympa I got the following logs in /var/log/sympa.log : Apr 25 17:02:39 kivu sympa[657]: Could not create table admin_table in database sympa : Table 'admin_table' already exists Apr 25 17:02:39 kivu sympa[657]: Could not create table user_table in database sympa : Table 'user_table' already exists Apr 25 17:02:39 kivu sympa[657]: Could not create table subscriber_table in database sympa : Table 'subscriber_table' already exists Apr 25 17:02:39 kivu sympa[657]: Could not create table netidmap_table in database sympa : Table 'netidmap_table' already exists Apr 25 17:02:39 kivu sympa[657]: Unable to execute SQL query : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '.`admin_table' at line 1 Apr 25 17:02:39 kivu sympa[657]: Database sympa defined in sympa.conf has not the right structure or is unreachable. If you don't use any database, comment db_xxx parameters in sympa.conf Apr 25 17:02:39 kivu sympa[657]: Exiting. Apr 25 17:02:39 kivu sympa[657]: Sympa not setup to use DBI With no database access, Sympa was not operational. Double plus ungood ! The very strange thing is that the database is fine : the right tables with the right fields and the right records are all present. It even worked with the preceding version of Sympa. It looked like Sympa itself was unable to recognize that my database setup was correct, subsequently reported those errors and thereafter refused to run with it at all. With a little rummaging inside the Sympa-users mailing list I quickly found a report of something looking suspiciously like my problem. It is probably a bug and Olivier Berger proposed a patch that looked to me like a workable solution : according to Olivier, a faulty regex was the cause of Sympa's failure to recognize it's own. After making a backup copy of /usr/lib/sympa/bin/List.pm I promptly applied his patch : 17:04 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/lib/sympa/bin# diff List.pm.dist List.pm 10750a10751 > $t =~ s/^([^.]+\.)?(.+)$/\2/; zsh: exit 1 diff List.pm.dist List.pm I restarted Sympa and it worked fine ever after. Thank you Olivier ! The only problem is that while Sympa was down, people wondered why the messages did not go through and resent some of their messages. None of those messages were lost - they were just piling up in a queue. So when Sympa restarted many duplicates were sent. But at least now it's working. So for now I'm going to use dselect to freeze the Sympa Debian package at its current version so that it is kept back next time I upgrade my system. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Attack of the undead /USR/SBIN/CRON
I just maybe apparently (inch’Allah !) about (I am definitely unsure...)
got rid of ("solved" would probably be too strong a word for that
haphazard process) a very vexing problem that kept me wondering for
weeks. I post here just in case someone recognizes this problem as
something familiar...
On an otherwise very healthy Debian Linux host I saw idle /USR/SBIN/CRON
processes begin to accumulate by the hundreds at a rate of a few every
few minutes and after some time inducing significant load although some
of them eventually died. Killing them was only a temporary remedy as
they kept reappearing. I could not link their appearance to specific
cron jobs nor could I link them to a specific command. And hours of
sifting through forums and mailing lists yielded nothing conclusive :
/USR/SBIN/CRON processes not terminating were not unheard of but their
causes seemed to be varied and most often quite mysterious.
Liberal use of strace with various combinations of ‘-p’ ‘-f’ ‘-F’ and
‘-ff’ binding to the running cron daemon process and following vforks
showed that the undead processes were left listening on an open
connection. I also observed that the /USR/SBIN/CRON spawning was
inhibited by an attached strace - in presence of strace the children did
receive their missing SIGSTOP. And sometimes days went by with no
manifestation of the dreaded processes - but as soon as I thought the
problem was solved they began to reappear…
Anyway, finding that the undead processes were left listening on an open
connection was the smelly trail I was looking for. ‘netstat -p | grep
tcp | grep CRON’ soon showed me that each one of them had an open
connexion to the local LDAP server. Then ‘lsof | grep cron | grep ldap’
hinted that it was not the cron process itself that was directly
connecting to the LDAP server but an underlying library involved in our
PAM LDAP user management system.
Armed with those new results I went hunting for some wild data and found
a discussion between Robert Rakowicz and Jerome Reinert about a somewhat
similar problem
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-german/2005/10/msg00989.html). But
the maintenance operations Jerome Reinert suggested on slapd’s Berkeley
DB database did not solve the problem.
For now I have read another post mentioning that versions mismatches and
assorted maintainance issues in slapd’s Berkeley DB database can cause a
similar problem. I can’t find the adress anymore but if I do I’ll post
it here. We found that a simple slapd restart got us rid of the undead
/USR/SBIN/CRON. It has been a few days and I have not seen one again… We
keep our fingers crossed - maybe an upgrade silently fixed the problem…
I also posted that on my blog at

Getting Apache to transfer .sh file instead of trying to execute it as CGI
I am trying to make a shell script available for download. The problem is that when I try to get it Apache returns a 403 and logs "Options ExecCGI is off in this directory" in error.log. But I am not trying to execute this script as a CGI, I just want to download it. Permissions are 644. If I rename the file as .txt or .html I can get it normally. Therefore it is only the .sh extension of the file that make Apache handle it as a CGI. So it seems that whenever a file whose extension is .sh is required Apache believes it must be executed. I have grepped my configurations for things such as '.sh' 'handler' or 'CGI' but I have not found anything that I could recognize as a parameter relevant to my problem. I find plenty of documentation and discussions about the exact reverse problem - people trying to get Apache to execute their files instead of just serving them as a file transfer, but not much about the opposite. Does anyone here have any idea about how I can persuade Apache to treat this shell script as a normal text file ? signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: slapd upgrade from 2.0.27-4 to 2.1.22-1 is a catastrophe
The conversion process needed to make our tree acceptable to recent versions of slapd not being something I am going to embark upon on a Friday evening, downgrading to version 2.0.27-4 seems the most reasonable course of action. After having wiped the partly upgraded setup and installed the various 2.0.27-4 packets I loaded my backup LDIF, relaunched postfix and everything is now fine. On Monday, I will take a look at what the conversion process and try to understand why the fix_ldif script barfs on it. Well, that was the short story. Here is the real story for the benefit of other clueless users like me who want to know what actually happened. The truth is that I'm a telecommunications marketing consultant with a very superficial understanding of proper systems administration and a clueless LDAP newbie to boot, and I ended up taking care of the damage control today because all the really competent people are either staffed 200% or on vacation, so I had to learn LDAP administration basics in the process and get to know the tools along the way with a fair bit of trial and error. And I started with downgrading just slapd to 2.0.27-4 and found myself wondering why slapd kept on dying and the tools would not talk to it, only to finally understand after a bit of hair pulling that the system was not going to work unless everything was 2.0.27-4. But I succeeded, had fun along the way and now find myself with a nice varnish of LDAP skills. So let that be an encouragement to the other clueless newbies around : don't let that stuff intimidate you too much, you only need to know how to read, and some degree of patience... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It sounds like the slapd.preinst script was unable to slapcat the database with the 2.0.27-4 slapcat- not a good sign.

The underlying problem is that the new version of slapd is much more picky about schema's and proper form than the old version so we're trying to fix old 2.0 LDIF's to be compliant.

slapd upgrade from 2.0.27-4 to 2.1.22-1 is a catastrophe
I have a testing system (with a handful of packages pinned to unstable). During the upgrade I performed today, slapd went from 2.0.27-4 to 2.1.22-1. The result is catastrophic : - Postfix no longer works properly (I am using ldap virtual maps) - The upgrade process produced a bunch of errors I do not understand but that seem to correlate with LDAP tree migration problems.

Below is what worked for me. I think that it may vary according to the version of the SSH protocol that you want to use, but it works like that on a stock Debian unstable. # On the local host : ssh-keygen -t dsa -f id_dsa # When prompted for a password, just press 'enter'. scp id_dsa.pub [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ # On the remote host : test -d ~/.ssh || mkdir ~/.ssh chmod 700 ~/.ssh cd ~/.ssh touch authorized_keys2 cat ~/id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys2 chmod 640 authorized_keys2 rm -f ~/id_dsa.pub That's it, you are set with passwordless SSH.

Same experience here : an old IDE hard drive began producing these
errors under load a few days before dying completely. Your disk is
probably going to die soon. Back it up NOW if you can, and maybe
throttle the backup so that it does not stress the disk too hard - a
final crash while backing up would sure be a pity.
