Possibly in policy.  As you are violating policy anyway by using RPM, it

Thank you very much!

It turns out that there were left over site-start.d files for t-gnus,
wl, semi and such stuff.  aptitude purge took care of them.

Should I file a bug against the Emacs policy?  site-start.d files
aren't simply configuration, but running code; therefore, it seems to me
they should be removed always, not only with a purge.

Looks like you're running Sawfish.  The solution isn't beautiful, but
simple and it works: instead of configuring workspaces via the Gnome panel
applet, go to Applications, Preferences, Windows -- this is the Sawfish
configuration applet.  Create your workspaces there.

NIS and system users

2004-02-14 Thread Leandro Guimarães Faria Corsetti Dutra
A nasty question...

I inherited a network with several servers installed with the
same non-packaged program.  All servers and clients use NIS.

That programs requires the creation of some users and groups
for installing and operating.

My antecessor in the systems' administration created these
users and groups as system ones, all with IDs around 500.  Obviously
NIS doesn't seem them, so I am reduced to managing passwords and all
such stuff redundantly, besides creating these accounts all over
again in each new server.

I thought it would be more reasonable to convert all these
users and groups to NISable non-system ones, over ID 2000.

I tried to use usermod to change the IDs, and then I remade
NIS maps.  Only that I couldn't log in anymore, su complained about
expired accounts.  usermod and passwd couldn't do anything.
Eventually I returned the users and groups to their original numbers,
and everything returned to the usual.

Now I'm thinking about erasing the accounts, and recreate them
from scratch as non-system ones so NIS can deal with them.  I will
have to change all files to the new owner IDs, but that was a given
already.

Someone suggested just scratching NIS and going LDAP.  I'd
rather Kerberos, but think both are quite unnecessary since I'm not
really worried about security and NIS has been just doing fine.

So, opinions, tips?  Would erase the accounts and recreate
them work?

    Thanks in advance!

VIA SATA and the 2.6.0 kernel

2004-02-04 Thread Leandro Guimarães Faria Corsetti Dutra
Have installed 2.6.0 kernel in a VIA KT600 machine with a common IDE
disk.

Now I do have a SATA disk on the same machine, and am trying access it.

Thing is that in dmesg, just after ide0, I get some lines about
VIA8237SATA, and several lines after that a libata line.  Nothing about
sata-via nor anything the like.

I gather from http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/sata.htm I should
get something more specifically about SATA.

Anyway if I try cfdisk /dev/sda I get an error about not being able
to open the disk drive.

When booting there is a message about missing ide-detect, which 
seemingly wasn't compile for 2.6.0.

Any tips, ideas, RTFM with pointers welcome.

I assume you've been copying and pasting with M-w or C-w and then pasting
with C-y.  I wouldn't trust the mouse under neither X nor gpm in this
situation.

You can try file , if you have an up-to-date magic file it
could tell you something about encoding.

If the file is important enough, I could suggest something like a sed
script to do really low-level recovery of this mystery encoding.  Once I
did something the like, but I don't remember how.

GNU Emacs has an hex mode, I thing hexl or something.

It's been a long time...

GNU Emacs should use LANG *and* LANGUAGE, LANG being a simple
preference set by localeconf (apt-get install localeconf) and LANGUAGE
being a preference list, due to the uncompleteness of several locales.

localeconf will put your system preference where it belongs,
namely /etc/environment.  /etc/bash.bashrc is good only for bash, so it is
not a good idea for X11 apps launched for icons and the such.

Please install localeconf and report your /etc/environment, as well
as what you get with M-x getenv LANG under GNU Emacs.

The solution to this is usually waiting that unstable gets all

But what I don't get is from what you *down*graded to unstable...

I already eliminated them.  Will check if this option is relevant to

Great, thanks for the info!  This looks like something indeed.

Will try to put strace in front of Nautilus... this won't be beautiful
with ~20 users and several days between failures, but looks like being
necessary.

Also will try to lsof a running process with -c nautilus, is that
what you meant?

Thanks for the tips.

Re: locales and coding systems

This is not the default, but Emacs' suggestion based on the
buffer contents.  You can easily tell it to save in 8 bits when it asks
for the encoding.

Actually this is the app's fault.  But again, Emacs will happily
accept your overriding its suggestion to use UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1[5] or
whatever it supports with Mule.

Not at all.  Emacs is quite independent.  The locale simply tells
apps which language you'd like to see in their user interface; how they'll
encode information is quite another thing.  BTW, that's the beauty of
Unicode: one encoding for (nearly) all languages.

What exactly do you have in /etc/environment or ~/.bashrc or 
whatever?

If you really see #, you are using the superuser account (root).
This is *dangerous*!  You should set yourself a common user and use only
that.  root should be reserved for software installation and system
configuration.


> If my coding system turns out to be utf-16, how do I change it to utf-8?

    I am not aware of any locale configuration using UTF-16.

There is also Passepartout in the Gnome world, but it is not yet

Nothing as well.

Now I just tried 'fuser -mu /dev/dsp', it gives a huge list of

Do you have .UTF-8 in your /etc/environment or something

only konsole works properly.

Obviously ignoring is not an option.  The MUA can bypass, but the

Thanks for handholding me!  Unfortunately 12945 is long gone...

So I tried again, something similar:

[pid 15308] getppid()   = 15300
[pid 15308] poll([{fd=22, events=POLLIN}], 1, 2000) = 0


So I ps'd 15300 this time:


~ $ ps -ef | grep 15300
leandro  15300 15299  3 17:08 pts/600:00:02 /usr/lib/galeon-bin

leandro  15332  2460  0 17:09 pts/200:00:00 /bin/grep 15300


Is there a way of asking the system which files does a process
have (or recently had) open?

I followed your former suggestion of moving the whole of
~/.galeon away and it is now working.  Nertheless, if you tell me how
to follow pipes and processes I'd like to still troubleshoot this,
sounds like an interesting bug report (or misconfiguration...).

Found something else interesting too, before the above lines:

[pid 12945] time(NULL)  = 1070642167
[pid 12945] time(NULL)  = 1070642167

[pid 12953] getppid()   = 12945
[pid 12953] poll([{fd=22, events=POLLIN}], 1, 2000) = 0


So it seems it takes some session information from somewhere else 
than ~/.galeon/session/, and then it tries to do something that causes a
segmentation fault, but not to the main processes as these continue to
run... but it is something drastic enough to prevent any windows from
opening, and to prevent it from dying entirely at SIGTERM.

Would deleting the contents of ~./galeon/mozilla/galeon/Cache
be likely to make things worse or better?

Any other ideas?

OK, so we do have something strange here.  It looks like cupsd is dying
trying to find a missing (parallel port) device.  Somehow it thinks you
should have a parallel port printer.

So you will need to find out why and eliminate this configuration. 
Perhaps cupsd is picking it from some /etc/printcap or other lpr
configuration file?

Anyway, I'd advise you to hook your printer anyway, so that CUPS can
find it instead of the ghost parallel port... CUPS won't take care of
loading kernel modules, for instance.

Nothing, as the idea of a RAID at the controller level is to make the

Do you have the parport kernel module installed, and the above

Most important, do you use the parallel port for your printer?

Galeon troubles

2003-12-03 Thread Leandro Guimarães Faria Corsetti Dutra
I am using Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable/experimental on an
iBook.  Several users enjoy this machine alternatively each in their own
X server, and have been using Galeon since 1.2 times.

Now Galeon has simply stopped opening windows for me, but not for
other users.  Even if I launch it from the console, it prints no messages
neither to the console, nor to /var/log/syslog nor to ~/.xsessionerrors
that I could find.  Some five galeon-bin processes appear with ps -ef |
grep  | grep galeon, and all but two are killable with killall
galeon-bin; these two die only with killall -9 galeon-bin.  A core file
appears but it means nothing to me.

Any ideas, please?

Not necessarily packages are missing.  Gnome is quite fragile; 
sometimes I've had do kill daemon processes like gconf*, bonobo* and oaf
(killall gconfd; bonobo-slay; oaf-slay, repeat or strengthen as necessary)
to make it work.  Some authorities recommend also cleaning temporary

apt-get install gnome should suffice as far as packages go.

The first tip is, before thinking about adding anything, remove.

AIDE and SAINT are nice because they help you check what to remove.

Only after doing that and being sure it is well done it would be
worthwhile to apply kernel patches and the such.

I think one should go piecemeal on such a project.  Creating your own

You might want to go the Knoppix route and modify Debian... there is even

Please check:

That /dev/hdc is symbolically linked from /dev/cdrom;
That /cdrom is the mount point for /dev/hdc, at /etc/fstab;
That the CD player is configured to either /dev/hdc or /dev/cdrom;
That you computer has analog audio from the CD.

If your system has only digital audio, you have to use a CDDA (Compact
Disk Digital Audio) player, like XMMS (kinda clunky for this use) or Totem
(upgrade to the latest version before trying to use).

Recent notebooks, like the Apple iBooks, tend to have only CDDA to cut
costs associated with analog CD audio.  Because GNU is not nearly as
common in portables as in desktops, this tends to be overlooked by
developers.

X terminals (NOT emulators)

2003-07-07 Thread Leandro Guimarães Faria Corsetti Dutra
I am proposing to a client a network consisting of two Debian hosts and
from 7 to 12 X terminals.

I am considering either converting their current old PCs or buying X
terminals such as the ones sold by NCD, NeoWare, Wyse or others.

So...

If we go the dedicated X terminals route, is there any of the X terminal
vendors using or specially supporting Debian?

More specifically, one requirement is 802.11b (or even better, 802.11g)
support.  Do you know of any such beast?

Thanks in advance!

Not really AFAIU... from time to time packages will enter testing in the

The problem is that this is meant to be a *user* list, and lots of users

You could consider a PostgreSQL-based system.  It will demand 
less if the application makes use of the DBMS features, and it will know
better how to share resources with other instances in a shared server. 
MySQL is just too immature for that, besides forcing the application to be
bigger and slower.

If you want high speed, you are running a RISC SMP where Intel doesn't
run but gcc does... but even then you might want a platform-optimised
compiler, until gcc catches up.

You shouldn't need several reboots.

You have to answer in the list, I ignore list mail sent directly to me.

I am asking about intrusion because someone else remembered the 
possibility of a rootkit leftover.

Have you run any intrusion detection systems?  I forget their names now...

Would you please break your lines, BTW?

Well then, you can just take them out of sources.list and let 
them lie until they get into stable.

Or you can substitute them by testing packages in a mixed 
distributions configuration, and also wait -- in this case you get
more packages changed from stable, but a smoother transition of these
packages into stable.  You would need to read the pertinent section of the
apt HOWTO.

Not damaged, but never upgraded until there are newer packages in
stable.  Isn't this what you want?

Take some samples and go from there... or just use something
like apt-spy.

If you want specific advise, please publish *your* file *and*
the error messages you get.  You must understand your paragraph above
is useless as a troubleshooting input.

Neither necessary, nor useful, nor practical -- perhaps not
even possible.


> Should I leave the backport lines in sources.list 
> or remove them?

    Up to you.  I'd remove them, but that's because I am partial
to the mixed distributions mechanism.

Perhaps not exactly, but wider: /etc/environment is meant to be used
by all shells, while /etc/profile only by Bourne shell lookalikes such as
bash.

What does "give credit" means?

The GPL says nothing about that.  But it is a basic principle of
copyright that you can't remove the copyright notices in the originals you
use, either to create a straightforward copy or a derivate.

	UML has a much bigger scope, since it tries to account for all the design 
phase, including data modelling.


	Unfortunately it's a fundamentally flawed approach, as shown in

	Usually straightforward translations of the entities and tags into

VFS: Disk change detected on device ide1

2002-05-10 Thread Leandro Guimarães Faria Corsetti Dutra
	Since May 5 my /var/log/messages has been filling up with messages 
such as:


May 10 12:06:37 debian kernel: cdrom: open failed.
May 10 12:06:37 debian kernel: VFS: Disk change detected on device
ide1(22,0)
May 10 12:06:37 debian kernel: VFS: Disk change detected on device
fd(2,0)

There has been ages since I've used the floppy or CD.

	I'm running the same stock kernel since 2.2r3, the day before 
yesterday applying all missing security updates.


	Some minutes ago my machine began making a noise like a distant phone 
ringing.  That's what prompted me to take a look at

/var/log/messages.

Other information:
debian:~# mount
/dev/hda2 on / type ext 2 [...]
automount(pid145431) on /var/autofs/misc type autofs [...]

Even stopping autofs didn't stop the messages.

My system is a HP Vectra VE 6/333 series 8, D6563A

Don't know what to do, what to look for, any ideas please?
