name resolution

2014-05-01 Thread L V Gandhi
I have name resolution problem in my debian virtual machine.
In my host operating system name resolution is ok.
Even in debian, ping works. But wget says resolution error as follows.

 If you have the dnsutils package installed in the virtual machine, try
 looking up the name with dig. Look in /etc/resolv.conf on your host
 system what name server it uses.

 Then in the virtual machine, run: (replacing 192.168.1.1 with the
 actual ip address of the name server)

 dig @192.168.1.1 www.nse-india.com

 That should tell you if the name server is accessible at all from the
 virtual machine, or if there is a routing problem or a firewall that is
 blocking access.

 If it's a network problem, you will see something like:

 ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

 It's also possible that name server is restricting the ip addresses
 from where it allows queries, and your vm is not in the allowed range.

 In that case, you will get something like this:

 ;; Got answer:
 ;; -HEADER- opcode: QUERY, status: REFUSED, id: 7248
 ;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
 ;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available

 If the dns is working fine, you will get

 ;; -HEADER- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 9178

 and the list of dns records it found. In that case, you just need to
 set up /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf on the vm.

Audio anomaly in Wheezy

2013-11-09 Thread L V Gandhi
I have Asus Vivobbok S400CA multibooting win8.1, debian KDE wheezy and
mavericks.
In Debian I have peculiar problem regarding Mic.
Speaker works ok. But Mic does not work in skype even in full volume
increase effected normal KDE mixer in task bar or pavucontrol.
However after starting audacity, Mic starts working.
This I have tested a few times.
Why it happens? Why initially Mic does not work

 No, Qt3 has been removed.  It's been dead upstream for several years,

  Simply install KDE with Synaptic, apt-get or what ever you like and then
  simply remove GNOME. Simply removing GNOME won't cause
  inconsistencies, but maybe you have to remove a lot of packages
  manually, since removing meta-packages won't remove network-manager,
  evolution, gcalctool etc., so you better don't install GNOME in the
  first place.
 
  I agree that we shouldn't install GNOME to a Linux anymore. Upstream
  forces hard dependencies to PA and systemd, big intransparent buggy
  blobs. I bet Debian soon or later will switch to systemd too. Current
  Evolution 3.6 can't share Emails with e.g. Evolution 3.2.3, GNOME
  nowadays is crap. A long time ago I switched to Xfce4, unfortunately I
  can't use it's maildir with other maildir compatible MUAs.

 Evolution's maildir ;).

 I did not want to install GNOME. That is why I downloaded KDE cd. But to
my surprice, it installed GNOME not KDE.

 There are 3 solutions, here.
 The first one is to install KDE, LXDE or XFCE at install time. To achieve
 this, you have to go to installation options, at boot time. I do not
 remember the exact name, maybe advanced... Here, you will find things
 like automated install, expert install, their GUI variants, and
 alternative desktop environment.
 The last one is a sub-menu which will allow you to choose a different DE
 than gnome.

 The second, installation time again, is to choose to *NOT* install desktop
 environment when the installer ask you which package you want to install.
 After that, you will have to install what you want in command line (using
 apt-get or aptitude, depending on your preferences). This is my usual
 install process, removing everything, then going into aptitude, disabling
 auto-install or recommended packages (so many useless things there...)
 and adding my usual tools. Because I do not use a classic DE, this is
 easier for me than to remove all crap they install, even more since
 aptitude does not auto-remove suggested packages marked as automatic (and
 so makes it harder to have a clean system with only used packages).

 The last one is when you have an existing installation.
 Go on a tty, kill gdm (and more generally, X server), then, remove gnome*
 to install what you want.
 Removing gnome* can be made by the aptitude ncurses (easier imho), or both
 aptitude and apt-get command lines.

 Each of those methods have their advantages:
 1: easier when you do not really want a highly customized installation
 2: the longer way, but let you install only things you are almost sure to
 install
 3: allow you to correct an error you did at installation time

 If you need more details, just ask again.
 Hope it helps.

If you are installing from mirror, you can work around this problem by

  If you are installing from mirror, you can work around this problem by
  choosing to install different version of debian. The install will
 probably
  fail to work if you continue with out kernel modules.
  Continue install without having kernel modules?
  No
  Yes.
 
  When I try to take screenshot, it save /var/log/ folder. But when I tried
  to mount a partition, it says no such device exists.
 
  When I tried to continue with yes for above option of no or yes,
  I get stuck up in network setup.

 It said the install would probably fail if you said Yes. And so it
 did! There are no kernel modules to use with your hardware and network
 setting up is not going anywhere.

 Thank you for posting exactly what you saw on the screen and the extra
 detail. It is a bit more work but it pays off in the end.

 A sid daily image should solve your problem:

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/current/

 Only the netinst ISO is available. If you really want a KDE one there
 might be a version with the 3.2.0-4 kernel in a couple of days.

  03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9462 Wireless

 If you felt adventurous you could test the new WPA wireless facility in
 the installer and use this interface. Reports of success or otherwise
 sent to debian-boot are always appreciated. I don't think firmware is
 needed for the device.


Thanks for the response. as screen capture did not work, I had to take a
snap with my ipad and write.
Thanks for the explanation. However as I was not knowing problem with kde
version, I tried other source.
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/efi-development/upload4/
The image there worked for me perfectly well. Thanks to Steve McIntyre and
team.
As requested by him, I have joined debian-boot list and I will post my
experience there.
However I have one more requirement, the boot menu has debian and ubuntu
but not windows8 as used to be previously.
I would like windows 8 also included in boot menu.

2012-11-09 Thread L V Gandhi
I downloaded wheezy weeky build kde iso dt 5th Nov
 It booted in uefi mode. But during installation, it dais there is no
kernel in the disk and further it could not recognise both ethernet and
wireless which are
Qualcomm atheros ar5bwb222
Realtek ethernet
It could not detect both of them.
Any idea how to install debian testing in the above system

3 ie EFI system and 2 recovery partitions are hidden.

 L V,

 When you install, the partitioner will ask you several questions during
 setup.  DO NOT choose 'use entire disk.'  Click/check only the 687G
 partition and you'll be fine.

 Alternately, check you Windows help files.  There may be a possibility
 that you can create a set of restore CDs.  There is on my Acer so I think
 it fairly safe to assume that your Acer system has the same option.  That
 way, if you do botch your installation, you can always use your restore CDs.

 Keep us posted.

 Michael

edimax usb wifi adapter and squeeze

I have edimax usb wifi adapter in my laptop. It triple boots windows,
squeeze and kubuntu 1204.
I tried as per site http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x with normal
linux-image 2.6.35. It worked initially and then it stopped working.
Then I saw it worked with out problem in kubuntu. Hence from backports
I installed kernel version 3. Then it worked. But again now it is not
working in squeeze while it works ok in windows and kubuntu. lsmod
|grep rtl gives same in squeeze and kubuntu as below

As I said in my mail, it was working with wpasupplicant and wicd. Then

Kindly give links or procedure to keep windows and linux.
   
You don't have to do anything special. Just partition the disks the
way you like. Linux installers normally expect that dual booting
is a common requirement so they usually handle it pretty well.
  
   I think it is not so easy as I have googled it. Intel RST, UEFI etc
   making things difficult and many have bricked their system. Hence my
   post.
 
  I think the issues you read about are for Windows 8 and the 'secure
  boot' feature of the UEFI bios?
 
  I have not tried Squeeze, Wheezy works fine on a Thinkpad with the UEFI
  bios, SSD  mSata.

 I think Squeeze does not support UEFI properly. It would at least need
 a 3.2 backport kernel

 What did you do to make it work? I have tried two times to get
 either of:

 - GPT + UEFI
 - MBR + UEFI
 - GPT + BIOS

 to work on a ThinkPad T520 and the only think that works right now is

 - MBR + BIOS

 My problem was that the UEFI boot menu never offered to boot from the
 EFI boot partition that I made. I think I might have been missing some
 efibootmgr magic that was explained here or elsewhere before, but as you
 managed to get to work, I´d like to know the exact steps or a link to a
 guide that works, before trying again. Why the GPT + BIOS stuff did not
 work is beyond me – I hat a BIOS boot partition for GRUB and grub-install
 also seemed to use it.

 I bet its not really faster tough since the ThinkPad doesn´t take much
 time in the BIOS anyway. And due to LVM I do not really need GPT, but it
 would be nice to have it anyway.

 I am not dual booting, I am using virtualization for the second OS. I have two
 ssd's, not at the same time, Win7 host and a Wheezy host.

  Not sure about all the:
 - GPT + UEFI
 - MBR + UEFI
 - GPT + BIOS

 I just installed Wheezy and it seemed to install just like any other install I
 have done.

 Install Squeeze like any other OS.  Start with the User Manual.  Should
 answer all your questions.  It did for me.

But many times it starts. Only a few times it is not starting. With out
required modules, I think it will not start at all.

 Most problem is the missing kernel-module. Try to install
 nvidia-kernel-dkms
 and nvidia-glx.

 You must add contrib and non-free to the entries in
 /etc/apt/sources.list

 like

 deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

 as usual. Then install the packages. Everything should be
 built automatically. After that make sure, nvidia-kernel is loaded.

 Good luck! If it does not work, please feel free to ask again.

 Depends on who is doing the indexing.

 If it is a cron job, you can disable the cron job.

 OTOH, if the evil thing is done by  KDE or GNOME, things are a lot more
 simpler, which of these do you use?

 Was myself using nvidia binary drivers for some time, I had gone through

iceweasel 4 process not closing on exit

When ever I close iceweasel 4 in squeeze, process is not closing.
Hence if I restart iceweasel, it says process is running, first close
running process.
I saw from ps -ax as follows

/firefox-bin-c5rQTp/ --sm-client-id 10cddfd6

Thanks Ron and Simon.
1)there is no window of firefox/iceweasel left unclosed. I tried closing by
window close button on top right and also by using menu exit button.
2)Regarding reopening, time delay varied much. In all cases it is same.
Further when I restart iceweasel starts on its own.

 Hi Gandhi,
 how long do you wait before you try to restart iceweasel? I know that
 behaviour when just exiting for some reason and promptly wanting to
 launch the application again. Happens with iceweasel and firefox, on
 various linux distros as well as ms-software.

It differs what is shown in aplay -l.
May be it was because model was given by me as vaio.

  Any solutions to mount with ownership of user?

 As per man 5 autofs:

 (...)

 If you use the automounter for a filesystem without access permissions
 (like vfat), users usually can't write on such a filesystem because it is
 mounted as user root. You can solve this problem by passing the option
 gid=gid, e.g. gid=floppy. The filesystem is then mounted as group
 floppy instead of root. Then you can add the users to this group, and
 they can write to the filesystem. Here's an example entry for an autofs
 map:

 floppy-vfat  -fstype=vfat,sync,gid=floppy,umask=002  :/dev/fd0
 ***

 HTH.

  It happens only in oo.

 Okay.

  I have done as you said deleting the .openoffice org folder.

 I did not say deleting but renaming (if you delete the folder, you
 lose all your OOo customizations, layourts, templates...).

  After that also same problem.

 Ugh... I see. I would try these steps:

 1/ Open any OOo application and go to Tools  Options  OOo.org  View
 and check/uncheck [·] using system font setting.

 2/ Test with another system UI font (in GNOME this can be changed from
 System  Preferences  Appearance  Fonts).

 3/ Just in case, create a new system user, open a session with it and see
 if the same happens from here.

 If none of these make any difference you can start thinking in opening a
 bug report. Are you using OpenOffice or LibreOffice? :-?

  Openoffice.org opened normal.

 Hard to tell... I can think in two possible culprits:

 1/ User's desktop environment (GNOME, KDE...) settings
 2/ Font config/cache

 For 1/ you can try by renaming (*be very careful* here, I said rename
 not delete ;-) ) your GNOME's user profile, as this will regenerate all
 your current user's settings and configuration. The said folder in GNOME
 it should be under ~/.gnome2 and ~/.gnome. In KDE I can't tell for
 sure.

 To check 2/ maybe you can refresh the fonts cache by running fc-cache -
 fv command but to be sincere, I'm not sure if that can be of any help
 for your problem.

 Note that both approaches are more a shoot in the dark than anything
 else. Maybe someone can tell you any other trick to bypass your OOo's
 font problem now that you have identified the source of the error.

 That should be fc-cache -fv (with the dash -).

 Okay, then you'll have to find out in which folder(s) does KDE (3 or 4?)

 Can you upload a snaphot (image) of your OpenOffice screen so we can see
 the effect? You can upload the picture to www.picpaste.com and send the
 link here.

 Ttwo more questions:

 1/ Does the same happen with the rest of the applications or just with
 OOo?

 2/ Try to rename the OpenOffice folder of your user's profile to start
 with an empty layout. OOo's profile should be under ~/.openoffice.org2
 or something similar, so you can just rename it to
 ~/.openoffice.org2_original and after that, lauch OOo. It will create a
 new folder.

I got an answer from qtstalker forum as below.
Seems, you too are using a GCC/G++ version 4.3.x or something like that.

All you need to do is add a few appropriate includes or G++ headers to the
relevant
C++ source files; see http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/porting_to.html for further
details.
I have gone through the link. But unfortunately I am unable to understand
how to use it?

Can someone kindly detail the procedure please.

 You really shouldn't use temp as a name. See 'man mktemp'.

  i=0

  do

 You could save this use of cat with this idiom:

 while read trv; do
# do sth. with trv
 done  temp

 This iterates over the lines of the file temp and assigns each line to
 trv. It behaves differently from your version in case one or more lines
 in temp contains whitespace, though.

  grep $trv ~/stock/today/$1  ~/stock/flstock.csv

 You probably want to break out of the loop. Exit exits the shell.

unison filename case

2008-03-02 Thread L . V . Gandhi
I have etch both in laptop and in my PC. I am using autofs to mount my
external HDD which is formatted vfat.
my local rules for udev mounting are as follows in both machines

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/010_local.rules
SUBSYSTEMS==usb,  DRIVERS==usb,  ATTRS{product}==Cruzer Micro,
NAME=%k, SYMLINK=flash, MODE=0775
BUS==scsi, SYSFS{model}==External Drive, KERNEL==sd?1,
NAME=%k, SYMLINK=ehd

Further auo.removable has similar lines in both
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/auto.removable
flash   -fstype=vfat,rw,uid=1000,umask=022,posix,shortname=winnt
:/dev/flash
ehd -fstype=vfat,rw,uid=1000,umask=022,posix,shortname=winnt
  :/dev/ehd

my lvg.prf for doing syn as follows
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat .unison/lvg.prf
# Unison preferences file
root = /media/ehd/Lvg
root = /media/wind/Lvg

# to ignore
ignore = Name *~
ignore = Name .*~
ignore = Name *.bak

# to ignore perms
perms = 0o1600

But in my laptop, when I do sync with unison to external HDD, get no
case conflicts. But when I do sync my PC and External HDD I get case
conflicts.  Further when I do sync with unison both laptop and PC, I
don't get any case conflicts. Problem is with PC and external HDD. Any
clues to avoid this conflict?

Loading modules during startup

2008-02-24 Thread L . V . Gandhi
I have put atl2 in /etc/modules and but after booting I see this in messages.
localhost:~# cat /var/log/messages |grep atl2
Feb 21 12:16:11 localhost kernel: atl2: disagrees about version of
symbol struct_module
Feb 24 18:48:22 localhost kernel: atl2: disagrees about version of
symbol struct_module
Feb 24 18:52:37 localhost kernel: atl2: disagrees about version of
symbol struct_module

But when I load manually as
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18/kernel/drivers/net/atl2/atl2.ko
I get everythink OK and I could use /etc/init.d/networking restart to
start internet connection.
I also checked for anyother modules in /lib/modules using find. result is
localhost:/lib/modules# find . -name atl2.*
./2.6.18/kernel/drivers/net/atl2/atl2.ko
Any reason why it happens.
What should I do to boot module during boot?

  Compile the kernel 2.6.22/23/24. All of them have support for Attansic card

Thanks for your time. Mine is corresponding to atl2 driver which is
fast Ethernet 10/100T where as atl1 is for gigabit Ethernet. whether
kernel 2.6.2[2,3,4] has drivers atl2?

adept updater problem in updating kernel in etch

2007-12-20 Thread L . V . Gandhi
When adept notifier notifies update for kernel, I used it to update
kernel. For last few times when ever kernel update is done, after
downloading it hangs. When I click details, i get the following
message.

The kernel version running is the same as the one being installed.
You are attempting to install a kernel version that is the same as the
version you are currently running (version 2.6.18-5-k7). The modules
list is quite likely to have been changed, and the modules dependency
file /lib/modules/2.6.18-5-k7/modules.dep needs to be re-built. It can
not be built correctly right now, since the module list for the
running kernel are likely to be different from the kernel installed. I
am creating a new modules.dep file, but that may not be correct. It
shall be regenerated correctly at next reboot. I repeat: you
have to reboot in order for the modules file to be created correctly.
Until you reboot, it may be impossible to load some modules. Reboot as
soon as this install is finished (Do not reboot right now, since you
may not be able to boot back up until installation is over, but boot
immediately after). I can not stress that too much. You need to reboot
soon.
But I can't respond in details. Hence hanging.
Then I have to reboot and do
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get -f install.
Here I agree and respond to question in terminal.
Then things become normal.
Any solutions please for normal working in adept also.

 To verify data on your dvd you can also use star and readcd:

.  Now, `readcd' would produce I/O error messages with *all* DVDs, also the ones
that I know for sure are all right.  So, it was actually not useful at all.
Instead, `star' seems to do the proper job: with Sarge I did:

 # apt-get install star

, then mounted the disk, then cd into it and:

 $ star -cPM . /dev/null

.  With the damaged disk, it produced an output like:

 star: Input/output error. Error reading 
'rodolfo-30.giu.2007/mobile/opensync/libsyncml/tests/.svn/README.txt'.


, then ended up with:

 star: 118167 blocks + 5120 bytes (total of 1210035200 bytes = 1181675.00k).
 star: The following problems occurred during archive processing:
 star: Cannot: stat 0, open 0, read/write 662. Size changed 0.
 star: Missing links 0, Name too long 0, File too big 0, Not dumped 0.
 star: Processed all possible files, despite earlier errors.

.  Instead, with the brand new DVD the output was:

 star: 119837 blocks + 9216 bytes (total of 1227140096 bytes = 1198379.00k).

.  So it seems that I can use this tool to verify disk integrity.  I didn't try
other people suggestions because this one was the simplest for me.  Only one
thing: the command `apt-get install star' does not work with Etch: it knows no
package named `star'.  Any suggestion about how to install star under Etch?

Thanks indeed,
