Re: System crash, or lockup
On 20 August 2012 15:39, Marc Shapiro marcns...@gmail.com wrote: I have posted about this before, and one suggestion was that I have a power supply problem. This seems possible, even probably, for some of my problems, but not, I think, for all of them. Also, I have noticed additional types of problems since my last post. Please note: I have purchased a new power supply (with a higher wattage than my old one) but have not had time to install it, yet. This is on an up to date Squeeze box running gnome. Problem 1: The system goes down, the screen goes blank and then says it is not receiving a signal. This sounds like a power supply problem and I expect it will go away once I get the new power supply installed. Problem 2: The system simply locks up completely, with no notice, or warning. There is no response to the mouse, or keyboard. Prior to having hard drive problems (which caused me to replace the HD and reinstall) this would sometimes happen. When it did, I could usually ssh in do 'sudo chvt' and then I would be able to use the desktop again. On checking out the system, I would find that X had simply gone away on the VT that was displayed (but the screen still showed everything as it had been, just unresponsive. Since the reinstall, I have been unable to ssh to the box in the first place. I get a 'no route' error on my laptop when I try (yes, I can ssh in at other times). The only solution is a hard reboot. This does not seem to me to be power supply related. Problem 3 (NEW): The system mostly locks up. The mouse still moves, but there is no response to mouse clicks. The gnome panels go completely blank. Running programs do not respond to the keyboard, but I can 'chvt' to get to another X session (there are usually three sessions going at once on vt7, vt8 and vt9 for myself, my wife and my daughter. I can also chvt to console sessions. Once I have switched to another session, if I kill startx and xinit for the locked session (or sessions - sometimes two sessions will do this at the same time. I think that once, all three X sessions locked up this way but I was still able to 'fix' things from a console session.) then the sessions start to work, again. All applications have been killed, but the gnome panels are back to normal and the session responds to the mouse and keyboard. This sounds like a gnome problem. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I hope to get the time to install the power supply and (fingers crossed) solve prolem #1 tonight. Does anyone have any ideas on the cause of problems #2 and #3? I really don't expect the new power supply to solve them and they are just as much disruption as #1. Please help. This is very annoying. 1) Sounds like loss of video signal; if this is a desktop, check connections or try different (data) cable. 2) Maybe faulty ram. 3) Perhaps a lack of ram or swap space. -- Sent from FOSS (Free Open Source Software) Debian GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: strange behavior after reboot, iceweasel locking everything up
On 12 August 2012 17:45, Tony Baldwin t...@tonybaldwin.org wrote:
Yesterday I had to reboot my machine.
Cleaning house, I had dislodged the plug for a power strip that powered
the computer, monitor, and printer.
Now, I am seeing very odd behavior.
Iceweasel hangs forever on some of the simplest tasks, such as loading a
static html page.
Not only that, but when it does so, other tasks on my machine are held
up. For instance, if I have iceweasel loading a page on my first
workspace, and try to load a message in mutt on another, mutt waits for
iceweasel to finish what it's doing before proceeding, which was not
previously the case.
I find this very, very odd.
Or even opening a terminal, for instance, a terminator, hangs, waiting
for iceweasel to finish its task.
It's as though iceweasel has dibs on system resources, and is blocking
other applications from using them, even when iceweasel, itself, is
using very few resources.
Now, when this is happening, I do not see any spikes in resource usage
that would explain slowing or stopping the entire machine while
iceweasel does its thing.
For instance, the machine will be using 2% of CPU and 4% of ram, but be
completely dormant until iceweasel succeeds in downloading a page.
This machine is a 2.8ghz x 4core AMD APU with 16gb of ram, too, so I'm
not exactly lacking in resources.
The only anomalies I have noted in dmesg, etc., are that some sectors of
my hdd are not reading correctly, or something.
A file system check forced on a second reboot yesterday failed, which is
disconcerting, but I'm not certain what to make of that.
dmesg | tail gives me

I don't know what to make of that.
Before the reboot yesterday, the machine was working awesomely.
This is Debian Stable, AMD64, as mentioned on a 2.8ghz x 4core AMD APU
with 16gb ram.
I use Openbox window manager with no DE (which further keeps things
generally humming long quite efficiently).
The machine is only 8 months old, essentially (mobo, cpu, ram all
purchased in January, although the hdd is over a year old, about 1 year
and a half, really, so still not very old).
What is going on here?
I ran aptitude update safe-upgrade yesterday (had been about a week),
so everything is up to date.
./tony
Seems like the disk has some damage from when you pulled the plug.
Probably best to do a file system check from a live medium.

Re: [OT] Will upcoming Debian 8 release default to XFCE for the CD media?
On 9 August 2012 All popcon numbers are much more than a little suspect. I quite agree, I was just trying to suggest that the decision, most likely, was not made by one person, even though there may not have been open discussion about it. There has been a CD version which has XFCE+LXDE for a while now, so I think that there is a valid reason for this as a default for the CD version of installer, keeping Gnome as the default for DVD installs should keep everyone happy, especially as Gnome can no longer be fitted onto a CD. :-) Personally, I prefer Light Weight to Heavy Weight, so I'm happy, even if your'e not. :-) -- Sent from FOSS (Free Open Source Software) Debian GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Setting up to do repetitive installs on ONE machine (cf BabelBox)
On 6 August 2012 14:46, Richard Owlett rowl...@cloud85.net wrote:
I have two objectives:
1. Define, by experimentation, optimal installation parameters to meet my
idiosyncratic concept of a minimal install.
2. Determine if there are bugs in Debian Installer, the instructions for
the installer, or MY reading of those instructions.
I've bought the 8 DVD set of Debian 6.0.5 and have set aside a laptop as a
testbed. I would divvy up the 80GB drive with 8-10GB for a quasi-static
Debian install [some other experiments, possible supervisor for these tests]
and ~40GB for DVD content [possibly some additional packages]. The rest
would be for the resulting test install and possibly preserving some log
files.
Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide (particularly sections 4 5 and
appendix B) give some indication that what I want to do is feasible.
BabelBox {http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/BabelBox} indicates that
something quite _similar_ has been done.
Open questions about BabelBox and its suitability for my goals:
BabelBox is apparently aimed at a fully scripted fully automated repetitive
install install dependent only on the first DVD of a release [e.g. When you
get to partitioning, create a Linux partition on /dev/sda1 ( *_about 1.5 to
4GB_* depending on which media you want to use as installation media)...
{EMPHASIS added}].
I will, initially, be doing only manual installs using preseeding to avoid
entering fixed data - keyboard, time zone, user name/password, no networking
etc.
Can I simply copy all 8 DVD's to the root of my supervising Debian install?
After an install will I be able to do apt-get to access the DVD content now
residing on the hard drive?
Am I missing something?
Are there other routes to my goals I should investigate?
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/BabelBox says,
For questions about babelbox, contact the debian-boot mailing list.
I think you will only be able to access one .iso image.
If you want a repository, I think you will have to create one, I
don't think you will just be able to access multiple dvd's.
I also think the installation will just be the standard desktop.
You have an interesting concept with what you are planning, but I
don't think it will be at all easy to accomplish, but I wish you luck.

Using the disk I downloaded yesterday and got burnt today, there is a fancy KDE gui, but no help screens about such trivia as getting it working on possibly defective, broken, hardware. I got it working on a different computer and discovered that it uses UNIONFS to overlay an record of changes that one makes to files on the root partition. But even on my better computer, I couldn't find a way to exit from Knoppix gracefully. Shutdown only shut down KDE and left the computer in a state where it was unresponsive to any keyboard keys that I could think to try. I had to do a press-and-hold the power button to recover the use of the computer. When it came back up in Squeeze, the changes that I had made to a file on the root partition were not there. The had not been written to real disk during the somewhat brutal shutdown. One bright spot for the day. The new memtest+ package in Squeeze has a nice feature: It edits grub config to included memtest+ image in the boot menu. With this, one doesn't have to have a working CDROM drive to do a memtest.

I've been having issues with a particular hard drive, where after a
suspend-resume cycle with s2ram, it won't mount:
# mount /dev/sdb1 /media
mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /media busy
# umount /media
umount: /media: not mounted
I wouldn't use /media as mount point but an isolate mount point and
better yet static if the hard drive is to be used every day.
Just did a bit of searching, not sure what isolate(d) or static mount
points might be... Reading the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard I see
that /media should be a mount point for removeable media, containing
subdirectories used as mount points for removeable media such as
floppy disks, cdroms and zip disks. I just grabbed /media here as an
example, simplifying what I typically use, which involves entries in
/etc/fstab like this:
/dev/disk/by-id/*hd1-id**-part1 /hd/e1 auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/*hd2-id**-part1 /hd/e2 auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0
an alias:
mnt () {
mount /$1/$2 cd /$1/$2 ls -ohF --color=auto
}
and directory structures like so:
% tree /hd
/hd
|-- e1
|-- e2
|-- e3
`-- h1
% tree /fd
/fd
|-- e1
|-- e2
`-- e3
Then, `mnt hd e1` will mount one hard drive, `mnt hd e2` will mount
another hard drive, `mnt fd e2` will mount a particular flash drive,
etc. Maybe there's a simpler/smarter way to handle mounting drives,
but I set this up a while back in the interest of being able to
tell by glancing at a short absolute file path exactly what drive
is mounted, and it seems to be working well enough. In any case, my
already mounted or ... dmsetup remove ... routine is the same
whether I use `mnt hd e1` or just do a `mount /dev/sdb1 /mountpoint`.
So I end up doing the following routine:
# dmsetup ls
(observe the device uuid's and input those to the remove below)
# dmsetup remove
*-part1 #
dmsetup remove
*
After this I can mount/umount multiple times no problem. But after every
suspend-resume cycle I have to do that dmsetup routine again.
Is the hard drive partition being used/recognized as as device mapper
volume? :-?
I did not set up such a thing with this drive. I do have another script
that uses cryptsetup like:
cryptsetup create cryptodrive /dev/disk/by-id/usb-***-0:0-part1
but that explicitly calls out a different disk by id, so I don't see
how that would be contributing to this behaviour.
Could this be a hard-drive hardware issue? Or maybe something is
mis-configured? Seems to have started after a dist-upgrade a while back.
I'm able to mount other flash-drives fine without the dmsetup routine.
These errors are commom when resuming from suspension or even
hibernation. What you can do is unmounting the USB devices before
entering into suspension mode and mount them again after system comes to
life.
I try to always unmount external drives USB devices prior to a
suspend/resume. It's possible I accidentally forgot to do so once
with this drive (though I don't recall doing so). And I keep getting
the described behaviour *every* time I try to mount that drive after
a suspend/resume. It's also possible this drive was mounted during a
dist-upgrade...not sure if that could've scrambled things up a bit.

Re: CD/DVD diagnostic tools needed

The first thing is to determine whether or not I have faulty hardware, be it the target box or the box that burns the CD. I've already run memtest86 and Seagate disk diagnostics demonstrating that problems from that area is unlikely. I need two diagnostics: 1. verify what's on the CD matches the ISO from which it was generated. [already have verified that the downloaded MD5SUM matches repository] 2. verify target system reads CD/DVD correctly. For the first I require both Linux and Windows versions. The second should probably be a Live CD itself. Any ideas? Most likely your media (cd/dvd), or the speed you are writing at. When you burn a disc, do you check it against the iso's MD5; it may not have burned properly. (Also, burn at a slow speed, even if it says it can be used at high speeds. 1x~4x) Old cd drives don't like ReWriteable discs, some just won't read some makes of disc.

Re: / almost full
Judging by your present setup, it looks like you have 8gb ram, half of it being used as tmpfs; or am I wrong. As for /tmp /var, they would be under/on your / partition, as would /usr. That is why I was suggesting at least 10gb; you appear to be using about 4gb at present; that should leave enough room for any further additional applications you install in the future. Swap is not mandatory. :-) If you think you will need some, add equal to system ram, but I don't bother with swap on 2gb ram or more, as my usage of ram is pretty low, web browsing, movie watching, playing music, etc. The main reason for having separate / /home is that I can re install the system if necessary, without having to re install all my personal files.

Re: Where does Debian define/specify standard bundles?
You appear to be wanting to know the dependancies for packages, whereas, installinux appears to run a distros installer. If you want tasksel, it is part of the Debian install process. the regular (Debian suggested) desktop environment is Gnome, but you can choose between Gnome, KDE, XFCE, or LXDE on installation. OR, install a 'standard system' then boot into it run apt-get install (or use aptitude) to install your choice of programs, such as Xorg a window manager, or a desktop environment, programs for office work, web browsing, etc. All necessary (open source) dependancies will be installed automatically for you.

My backuppc version is 3.2.1-2 (I'm running a testing install).

After some investigation I found that adding autofs in the Required-Start section of the insserv overrides of the backuppc init script solved the problem. Now I'm not sure how to report the bug. Should I report it against autofs (so that autofs gets included into $local_fs or in the mountall.sh script but these scripts have nothing to do with autofs), or in insserv (again so that autofs gets included into $local_fs, but insserv doesn't have anything to do with autofs) or in backuppc so that the init script is modified (but again, backuppc has nothing to do with autofs)?

My Debian system still boots on /dev/hdc3, but now my only CDROM drive does work on /dev/hda (hda as is, not on hda1 or whatever, which I did find weird though). It does work, and also I am now able to boot on a system CD !! So, I could possibly decide to re-install... I could also decide to use my machine as is since it now operates almost as it did before, with only one CDROM and no CD writer (but I don't need that on this particular machine) ; I just changed the /boot/grub/menu.lst and replaced /dev/sda3 by /dev/hdc3. However... Something still has to be wrong with this machine. Why does it now reckognises my HD and CD drives as /dev/hdc (hdc1 for MSWIN, hdc2 for swap space and hdc3 for Debian system) and /dev/hda for the now unique CDROM drive while it previously did reckognise these pieces of hardware as SCSI drives (/dev/sda1, sda2, sda3 for the HD... Nothing shows if I type: Thanks in advance for you explanations and advices. Sounds like your cdrom drives may have their jumpers set to primary rather than secondary. Possible explanation for sd becoming hd; you altered the cables between your drives. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: a quick Q: what is the .alias for
An alias is one word that is another word for the same thing. An alias associates one word with another. From man bash :- ALIASES Aliases allow a string to be substituted for a word when it is used as the first word of a simple command. The shell maintains a list of aliases that may be set and unset with the alias and unalias builtin commands (see SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below). The first word of each simple command, if unquoted, is checked to see if it has an alias. If so, that word is replaced by the text of the alias. The characters /, $, `, and = and any of the shell metacharacters or quoting characters listed above may not appear in an alias name. The replacement text may contain any valid shell input, including shell metacharacters. The first word of the replacement text is tested for aliases, but a word that is identical to an alias being expanded is not expanded a second time. This means that one may alias ls to ls -F, for instance, and bash does not try to recursively expand the replacement text. If the last character of the alias value is a blank, then the next command word following the alias is also checked for alias expansion. Aliases are created and listed with the alias command, and removed with the unalias command. There is no mechanism for using arguments in the replacement text. If arguments are needed, a shell function should be used (see FUNCTIONS below). Aliases are not expanded when the shell is not interactive, unless the expand_aliases shell option is set using shopt (see the description of shopt under SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below). The rules concerning the definition and use of aliases are somewhat confusing. Bash always reads at least one complete line of input before executing any of the commands on that line. Aliases are expanded when a command is read, not when it is executed. Therefore, an alias definition appearing on the same line as another command does not take effect until the next line of input is read. The commands following the alias definition on that line are not affected by the new alias. This behavior is also an issue when functions are executed. Aliases are expanded when a function definition is read, not when the function is executed, because a function definition is itself a com‐ pound command. As a consequence, aliases defined in a function are not available until after that function is executed. To be safe, always put alias definitions on a separate line, and do not use alias in com‐ pound commands. For almost every purpose, aliases are superseded by shell functions. I hope that makes it clear :) On 24/02/2012, lina lina.lastn...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, /lib/modules/3.2.5mj-lina/modules.alias /lib/modules/3.1.13.1-mj-lina/modules.alias I don't know what the .alias stands for, Thanks for any explainations, Best regards, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
