I found the problem. A few years ago I had a "de" keyboard. When I
switched to an "us" keyboard I changed the layout, but forgot about the
"nodeadkeys" variant. X in lenny simply ignored the wrong variant. But X
in squeeze silently fails.

The model is wrong too (should be "pc104" for a "us" layout), but that
does not seem to a problem.

I'll leave a comment in bug 571636.

Ironically, the "nodeadkeys" had exactly the opposite effect, it
rendered *all* keys dead ;-)

/etc/X11/xorg.conf is empty (well, actually I want to add something
there, but that's not relevant for this bug, see below).

/etc/default/keyboard contains

XKBMODEL="pc105"
# XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBLAYOUT="de"
XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys"
XKBOPTIONS=""

Xorg.0.log for "de" layout is at http://pastebin.com/1L0yTgEx and for
"us" layout at http://pastebin.com/XtjcCMiW. For "de" layout it works,
but not for "us" layout.

The only problem is, I have a "us" layout keyboard! With the "de"
keyboard some keys are obviously wrong, but at least I am able to input
something at all.

Comparing both log files (ignoring "de" vs. "us" and different
/dev/input/eventX numbers for power buttons and PC speaker) I only see
that the log for the "de" layout has at the end

(II) Power Button: Close
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
(II) Power Button: Close
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
(II) HID 046a:0011: Close
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
(II) Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse: Close
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
(II) Macintosh mouse button emulation: Close
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
(II) i2c IR (HVR 1110): Close
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"

which is not the case for the failing "us" layout. I guess that's
because for the "de" layout I properly shut down X, which I didn't do
for the failing "us" layout.

Note that I always rebooted between changes to /etc/default/keyboard.

I also checked that /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us exists and it looks good.

> Have you tried to create a new user account and test from there?

No, I don't think that would help (I can't even enter a user name in the
kdm/gdm login window).

after upgrade to squeeze keyboard does no longer work with X

2010-11-28 Thread Joachim Reichel
Hi,

after an upgrade to squeeze I have the problem that my keyboard is no
longer recognized by X (the mouse works). If I kill gdm/kdm from another
machine via ssh, I get a console where the keyboard works. Xorg.0.log
does not show any errors (and the keyboard is mentioned there).

It does not matter whether the keyboard is connected via USB or PS/2.
Removing my xorg.conf (to use the defaults/autodetection) does not help
either.

Any ideas how to debug the problem?

Thanks,
  Joachim

Unfortunately, (g)mplayer does not display the current speed (imagine that you
press [ or ] several times during playback), 10% steps are too large, also.

mp3 player with adjustable speed and pitch correction

2008-06-30 Thread Joachim Reichel
Hi,

I'm looking for an mp3 player that allows to adjust the speed, but haven't been
successful so far.

audacity: requires preprocessing (and is not really a music player)
amarok: the developers tagged #103895 as wontfix
vlc: allows only fixed multipliers (like 0.5x/1x/2x)
noatun: restarts song from beginning on every change

Is there any music player that allows to adjust the speed by any factor between
half and double speed, at any point during playback, without preprocessing,
without restarting playback from beginning, and with pitch correction?

Joachim

P.S.: Please CC: me on replies.

Yes, sure. The message just says that the raid support is included in 
the initial ramdisk ("during boot" might be misleading ...).


Meanwhile I found out that everything is fine if I compile 2.6.16-18 
myself. On the other, the same errors occurs with a self-compiled 
2.6.17-8. (I just copied the config file from the linux-image package.)


So it works with 2.6.16 but not with 2.6.17. Should I file a bug on 
linux-source or initramfs-tools?

  Joachim

problems with / on LVM/RAID1

2006-09-17 Thread Joachim Reichel

Hi,

I'm having some problems with / on LVM/RAID1. The situations is as follows:

/dev/sda1 ext3 /boot
/dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb3 are used for /dev/md0 (raid1)
/dev/md0 is a single PV for a VG "raid"
this volume group contains three LVs, one of them being 
/dev/mapper/raid-slash with ext3 mounted on /


This layout was created with the Etch beta 3 installer, and the 
installation worked fine. The kernel is 
linux-image-2.6.17-2-amd64-generic 2.6.16-17.


Now I want to run linux-image-2.6.17-2-amd64 2.6.17-8. However, the raid 
device is not started, no LV are available and / cannot be mounted. The 
exact error message is:


Begin: Mounting root file system... ...
Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ...
mdadm: No devices listed in partitions
device-mapper: 4.6.0-ioctl (2006-02-17) initialised: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Volume group "raid" not found
Done.
Begin: Waiting for root file system... ...

This does not happen for the old kernel.

mdadm is configured to bring up all raid devices early in the boot 
sequence. When I install the new kernel package, there is the following 
message:


Using mkinitramfs-kpkg to build the ramdisk.
I: mdadm: RAID support installed to mount all RAID arrays during boot.
I: mdadm: use `dpkg-reconfigure -plow mdadm` to change this.

So, everything should be fine. And I use /dev/mapper/X-Y, not /dev/X/Y 
(see #378332).


I have no idea what's going wrong. I compared the two initrd's:

Only in 2.6.17-2/etc/modprobe.d: nvidia-kernel-nkc
Only in 2.6.17-2/etc/udev: libnjb.rules

Of course, some binary files differ, but no obvious changes in the 
configuration files that could be responsible for the problem. Google 
shows only one hit for "mdadm: No devices listed in partitions" ...

mouse wheel doesn't work any longer

2005-06-06 Thread Joachim Reichel
Hi,

I recently upgraded my Thinkpad A30p and now the mouse wheel doesn't work any
longer. It has a built-in "mouse" (more a pen/trackball, no wheel) and a
external USB mouse with mouse wheel. "cat /dev/input/mice | hexdump" does not
show any events for the mouse wheel, same for /dev/psaux and /dev/gpmdata.

Before the pgrade, "grep -i 'usb\|mouse' /var/log/messages" reported

Note that usbhid is not loaded, but loading doesn't solve the problem.

I don't have any clue how to track this down. Any ideas?

Re: Ugly (xemacs) font

2004-06-15 Thread Joachim Reichel
Hi,
Another idea is to put the 100dpi and 75dpi unscaled fonts near the
beginning of the font path.
Uuups, I misread your message. After moving 100dpi and 75dpi to the front, 
it worked!

After some searching I fount that the font in question was from the 
ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp package. Simply removing the package did not help, since 
now I had another TTF font in xemacs (much better readable, but still not 
what I want). But it works if 100dpi and 75dpi are the first entries.

Thanks to all for their help,

That did not help.
The font you're seeing looks like some fancy font that tries to be
cute.  Hm.  So perhaps try to find the font and remove it from your
system ;-)
I looked through all font families with xfontsel, but couldn't spot the font 
in question. Is there a better way to do this?

Re: Ugly (xemacs) font

2004-06-13 Thread Joachim Reichel
Hi,
the menu font in my xemacs is really ugly (I've uploaded a screenshot to 
http://www.joachim-reichel.de/tmp/xemacs.png). I know how to set the fonts 
for the editor window, but not for the menu.

I do not notice font problems in other applications (KDE, Gnome, Mozilla, 
...). But xfontsel shows the same ugly font as default. I don't care about 
xfontsel, but it seems that the problem is not xemacs-related.

X packages: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1
xfs-xtt:1.4.1.xf430-5
I don't know how to change the menu font directly (at least I don't
remember) but IIRC a workaround is to change the order of the fonts
paths in XF86Config since they are search in order until an appropriate
font is found.
You should make sure TrueType fonts are on top if they are available
and Type1 fonts are last as they don't render to well to screen.
That is already the case, here is my search order:
catalogue = /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID,
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/,

/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/
Changing the order does not seem to help (at least it doesn't improve 
things). On a different machine with almost identical setup, the fonts are 
fine (same search order).
