problem using mouse with X & potato

[Lucas]

Hello !
I can't manage to configure my mouse under X.
My mouse is a Microsoft Serial Mouse 2.1A (2 buttons), of course on serial
port.

I've tried to use gpm, but I get this (the mouse worked properly in
XF86Setup) :
Warning: /dev/gpmdata unable to get status of mouse fd (Invalid argument)
then X stops ...

Please tell me where I could find some documentation about my problem, or
tell me the proper way to make my mouse working.

Thanks a lot for having read me.

I've got the same problem - every 1-3 seconds. I don't think it's a cron. In
my case, it was my Icinga2 monitoring server, which did checks on my system
every 30 seconds. Icinga logged in from remote using SSH and every time it
logged in, the above written log lines appeared. My solution was:

pppd and ISP dialup

[Lucas]

Hello, 

I would appreciate some help configuring linux for dial-up.  On
Debian (bo) I have created the following files:

options

After seeing the new debian book I modified this one slightly.  It
contains:

debug
/dev/cua0
19200
modem
crtscts
lock
asyncmap 0
defaultroute
bsdcomp 10,10
mru 296
mtu 296
-detach
user lucas   // I believe this is for pap authentication
lcp-echo-interval 15
lcp-echo-failure 4


pap-secrets

contains the single line:   my_username * my_password

ppp.chatscript
==
ABORT []
""my modem's init string
""ATZ
OKATDT666-
CONNECT

ppp.options_out
===
some redundancy:
defaultroute debug user lucas -detach /dev/cua0 19200 persist

/* ** */
the host.conf file is ok
the hostname file says debian
the hosts filesays 127.0.0.1 debian localhost //if i remove debian
   //many things malfunction
the resolv.conf file:
=
domain somewhere.net
search somemachine.somewhere.net
nameserver ip address of the DNS server


... as far as permissions are concerned, everything belongs to root (until
I get this freakin' thing working ARgh!!).

also I can't test it manually by dialing with minicom and quitting without
resetting because I get a login prompt which I used to be able to use but
has since been made unavailable.

if it is required, I have a nice, fat ppp.log file that maybe someone
knows how to "decrypt."

Could someone tell me what the heck i'm doing wrong or omitting or...it
was working fine for another dialup account but now i messed it up 

Thanx-a-million

Re: Printer-setup

[Lucas]

I am presently using a2ps and gs-alladin to format text files into
postscript and then
print them using gs.  If I create a script containing the gs command, this
could be
my print filter in the printcap file (don't remember if it's "if" or "of").

My problem is that whenever I issue the gs command to print something
formatted
by a2ps, the output always includes one extra blank page and the last
printed page
(before the blank one) always looks like the last line of print has been
cut off by 
about a fraction of a millimeter.

My theory is that the papersize used by either program is incompatible. I
believe gs
is using what it calls "letter" defined as 8.5x11 and a2ps is using
something with some
code which I can't remember but which looks like an ISO standard ... or
something.

Maybe instead of getting the binaries I should compile the source in order
to be able
to configure defaults that will be compatible between the two
programs.if that is in fact
the problem.

Reminder: I am using a HPLaserJet 5L

Re: web question

[Lucas]

Hello George,

Try searching for something called "htaccess" (for NCSA web servers).  This
may get you started even if it's not the server you are using.

Re: modem

[Lucas]

Be careful. The Motorola SM56 is a winmodem but it does not say so
anywhere on the box! At the web site, it is called a "software modem" or
a HSP The AOpen FM-56 is also a winmodem but it does not advertize
it in big letters on the box. I discovered this at the web site in a
footnote. These are both internals.

Get an external, real modem.

Re: Fw: Mitsumi FX001D CD-ROM drv. Need help...

[Lucas]

With regard to mounting cdrom filesystems, I believe there is something
called "amd" that can automate this so that you do not have to type
"mount..." each time. Maybe someone has the details??

I have found that whenever I confirmed that I would like to use my existing
config file during XF86Setup the program crashed.  I have only succeeded
when I specified NOT to use an existing config file. Don't know why ??

Pb with Gnome2 and blackbox

[~lucas~]

I have been running blackbox for some time now on a "testing" box
without any problems, and the other day I thought I would install gnome2
and gdm2.

I then edited my .xsession file and removed all my blackbox stuff and
added only "exec gnome-session"

And now whenever I try and login, both blackbox and gnome load at the
same time.
Dose anyone know how I mite be able to fix this?

Thanks lucas.

Hey there all, 
I just scanned my system and found this:

I was just wondering if someone could tell me what this is. I have never
seen this before, and I have not installed any new services.

Re: Debian Certifications

There is no Debian certification,
But in turn you can become a debian mantainer and debian developer and request 
a certification that prove you are If It's really important for you.

Re: Debian Certifications

[Lucas Castro]

Not required any programming skills.
 
You can always start reading the mantainer guide. There is so much chores you 
can take.

Re: changing uuid of mdadm array

I don't think there is a way without either using --create as you

device in question.


Thanks. That --update=uuid convinced me there ought to be a way to do
it.

The uuid option will change the uuid of the array. If a UUID is given
with the --uuid option that UUID will be used as a new UUID and will NOT
be used to help identify the devices in the array. If no --uuid is
given, a random UUID is chosen.

Perhaps I needed to remove the uuid from mdadm.conf.


FWIW, I didn't need to change the uuid here, I could have just started
from scratch with --zero-superblock but I've previously got into a mess
where I duplicated a machine by splitting a raid where I now had two
raids with the same uuid and this was a good opportunity to see what I
should have done on a disk where I didn't care about the data on it.


Every time you remove a device from raid, you indeed need to erase the 
superblock.


mdadm use the superblock to identify its raid members,

if you try to add a device to a raid block it'll fail because the device 
already contain a superblock identify at its 'header'. --zero-superblock 
it's the right way add to anothor md array.



Following the mdadm manual instruction

The --update=uuid, in my conception will update 'array' uuid, for that

but define 'array members'? The array is stopped, are they array

should the array have? A new one or the one the members had recorded in
their superblock when it was stopped?


RAID device is a array  of disk organized to serve as disk device 
distributed under physical disk.


Then it's easy to guess 'array members' as all physical devices set to 
same array?


The array must be identified somehow, in mdadm, array is by uuid!

The steps to get routing working on GNU/Linux


check ip_forward is enabled

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward - it must be 1


In your case, your outgoing is 192.168.108.2 on enp3s0

and your lan network is 10.239.239.254

so the forwarding nat rule should be

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING  -s 10.239.239.0/24 -o enp3s0 -j SNAT 
--to  192.168.108.2


No need for INPUT/OUTPUT rules to forward packts, only FORWARD rules


iptables -A FORWARD -s 10.239.239.0/24 -i br0 -o  enp3s0 -m state 
--state NEW -j ACCEPT


To accept the incoming packts for related connections.

iptables -I FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT


you need to be sure there is default route on the router, or trick the 
route using 'ip rule'


but check if the router is set any default route

'ip route list' or 'ip route list table default'

Until here it seems to work in that I can ping both addresses. However 
I don't know how I should configure my guest VM interface. There is no 
nat, no DHCP and if I specify the same IP address for the virtualized 
interface as the host bridge it's connecting to, it doesn't even 
detect any link.


The guest was created with:

# virt-install --network bridge=virbr10,model=virtio ...

Please help.


I really can't understand why all that.

You just need a bridge interface and share the network.

brctl addbr br1

ip addr add 172.50.50.10/24 dev br1  #  Host

Add a interface in your guest on br1.

ip addr add 172.50.50.11/24 dev ${IF_GUEST} # Guest


That works fine,

Check your firewall for allow/deny rules.

Dear linuxers,

I've a server and one of my students is getting a wrong fingerprint 
when trying to connect via SSH.


After a lot of debug, we are still unable to pinpoint why.

The server didn't change IP or keys, and other students still log in 
ok with the correct fingerprint. Just one student, let's call him Bob 
(because why not), is not getting through.


I've asked Bob to try a different machine, which he does not have, 
being a poor student. But he had a mobile, so after trying the app 
juiceSSH and wifi on, he again got the wrong fingerprint.


I asked him to turn the wifi off for the mobile and yes, he got the 
correct fingerprint.


I also asked him to run a full antivirus scan in his notebook 
(windows) and nothing was found.


He also hard-reseted the router, still the problem continues.

He called the ISP for any clues, but it is a small company who doesn't 
know the word "fingerprint" neither in english nor in their native 
language. So, not much help there.


I also asked him to check if his IP is what he think it is, and he 
checked with one of these "what is my IP" website and it is ok.


As for DNS, I asked him to try to ssh directly using the server's IP 
instead of the name, but still the wrong fingerprint.


Kinda crazy, right? I run out of ideas...

What else should I try to help that student?


Check if he's really reaching the right server.

ping the server from his computer and check with tcpdump on server side.

If not reaching the server, try traceroute to track where is going on.


Local address or Internet address address?

If local address, maybe he had already  accessed other server with the 
same address.




Thanks

Using the console I could find the culprit: the datacenter uses

virbr10 mac address to the same as eno1 interface. It now works with 
this configuration (those are not the real IP addresses):

    post-up /usr/sbin/ip link set virbr10 address 0c:c4:7a:00:36:06

and similar configuration is in place in the guest for its 
virtio-emulated network interface card.


But there is no need to attach  physical interface just for a host and 
guest network.


"bridge_ports none" should set a bridge without physical attachment and 
you get a interface for host and guest networking.

The OpenWRT is a completely separate device running at the end of the 
cable connected to eth1. The Wireless is also connected to an AP on 
that router. All of this is on the 192.168.1.* network.

Try something like this ti get your vm settings.

I forgot to ask for the routing table, could you post the result of 'ip
r' ? Otherwise, can I ask why you think you need a Wifi connection and
wired one but assigned to them ip addresses that are in the same subnet?
Because you can access the host and the VMs on different IPs with only
the wired NIC.

Re: Debian 10 software raid

[Lucas Castro]

Is your system running over uefi?
 If yes, ESP partition doesnt work over RAID software, so booting relaying just 
one of the disk.

If no,  make sure grub installed MBR in both disk. 

grub-install /dev/sd[AB]

It would be more helpfull if you post error as it is rather than just telling 
"my system not booting"

I recently switched from Mandrake ( A redhat-based distr.) to Debian,
and I have to say that I am delighted. As developper, all the features, I am
looking
for, are in Debian:

* Configurable installation:  With Mandrake, it's just a very bad idea 
to
choose something
else than the default and a few options.With Debian, I used 
Netinst, and
installed the few   things I needed; Everything went smoothly when I need to
install new packages.
* Stability: Mandrake 8.1's SysVInit is really bad ( Shuting down does 
not
work properly )
* Packaging: the packaging system does work. With Mandrake, it happens
often that the db storing all the info about the installed packages gets
destroyed by the DrakInst, the GUI Installer. Once this happened, there
isn't much you can do but reinstall everything from scratch.
* sources: compilation is working all the time.

Cheers,
Lucas

Woody installation problem

[Lucas Cleeve]

When I install Woody, I get a error message while installing the base system: 
"Could not find pppoeconf".
After that it asks me to install the base system again, and if I do i get the 
same error message.

I don´t even want ppp, is there any way to come arond this problem.


Yours sincerely

trouble HP SmartArray 6400

[Lucas Mocellin]

Hi,

I'm having some troubles with the DP SmartArray 6400 controller.

Before I had a failed drive, so I repalced this drive, and now I'm getting
this error:

sp02:~# hpacucli
=> ctrl slot=4 pd all show

Smart Array 6400 in Slot 4

   array A

  physicaldrive 2:0   (port 2:id 0 , Parallel SCSI, 72.8 GB, OK)
  physicaldrive 2:1   (port 2:id 1 , Parallel SCSI, 72.8 GB, OK)
  physicaldrive 2:2   (port 2:id 2 , Parallel SCSI, 146.8 GB, OK)
  physicaldrive 2:3   (port 2:id 3 , Parallel SCSI, 146.8 GB, OK)
  physicaldrive 2:4   (port 2:id 4 , Parallel SCSI, 146.8 GB, Predictive
Failure)
  physicaldrive 2:5   (port 2:id 5 , Parallel SCSI, 146.8 GB, OK)

A "Predictive Failure", but I don't know what is this.

I searched at google but without answers..

Can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance,

Lucas.

Re: trouble HP SmartArray 6400

[Lucas Mocellin]

Hi Damon,

before all, thanks for your complete answer.

I replaced a "failed disk", so now I have a "predictive failure".

I understood, "googled" about "punctured strip" and found another cases of
this problem. So I will replace the drive again and see the result of, if
occur again I will reconstruct my array (raid 6).

I will try it and back with the solution (or another questions =( )..

Thanks again!!

Lucas.

how to sniff marked packets by iptables

[Lucas Mocellin]

Hi,

I marked some packets with iptables (-j MARK), and I want to "see" this set.

I tried to search google, but nothing related. tcpdump doesn't seems help
with that.

Have anyone any idea?

Thanks,

Lucas Mocellin.

Re: how to sniff marked packets by iptables

[Lucas Mocellin]

I tried.. no success

this is the output:

Yes, ethereal doesn't work too.

well, I think this is true, but must be something to sniff this "marks"

Re: how to sniff marked packets by iptables

[Lucas Mocellin]

Ok, I understood, but create a dummy device to sniff it in a operation
server I think it is not the best solution.

But, I have never thought about -j LOG, kkk if I do a filter by the
mark, and -j LOG, I think it's sufficient.

thanks!!

Sarge bootcd with newer 2.6 kernel

[Maurice Lucas]

Hello,

I want to make my own custom sarge bootcd because I need a newer 2.6 kernel.


How can I do this?
Or is there another way to boot my pc with a new (2.6.12-3 does work) kernel
and then install sarge from scratch?

With kind regards,
Met vriendelijke groet,

Maurice Lucas

I want to install on a new S-ATA hard drive as primary (and only) hard
disc.
Non of the standard boot methodes work, both of tehm doesn't see the sda
drive. But my homebuild 2.6.12 does work. 

Kernel 2.6.8 is to "old".

Build gcc-3.4 on Sarge fails with "No rule to make target `gnatlib-shared'"

[Lucas Barbuto]

Hi,

I've been supplied with a C++ binary that I'd like to be able to run on 
my Sarge system. As I understand it was built on a recent Redhat 
derivative with a GCC >= 3.4. I also understand that this is not 
compatible with Sarge and the application won't run (which it won't, 
complains /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.4' not found).


In order to make it run, I figured I may be able to rebuild the package 
gcc-3.4 with GCC 3.4 on Sarge, install the packages into /usr/local, 
then run my binary with


$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./runme

But before I can test this theory, I need to be able to build the 
package. I receive the build output below.


Not being very experienced with compiler versions and shared libs, I 
have a couple of questions:


 1. Does the above approach sound logical, or am I wasting my time?
 2. Does anyone know how I can resolve the build error below?
 3. If I can't make this work, which branch of Debian has compatible 
libraries for C++ applications build with G++ >= 3.4 - testing or 
unstable? Neither?


Build output:

# In 3.3, the Ada part of GCC does not support parallel builds,
# don't pass the \ parameter from the make command lines.
# Build the static and shared libraries

PCMCIA CD-Rom

[Mark Lucas]

I've just setup Storm Linux 2000 on my old Toshiba Laptop, all went well
except that the machine can now not find the PCMCIA CD Rom drive it
installed from!

PCMCIA is working fine because I can connect to my network through my PCMCIA
ethernet card. When I plug in the CD Rom drive though (a TEAC CD-244PE) the
machine finds it and starts to install with the following messages:

hdc: CD-224PE, ATAPI CDROM drive
ide1 at 0x100-0x107,0x10e on irq5
hdc: ATAPI 10X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache

but then failes with a message:

hdc: bad special flag: 0x03

and fails to auto mount.

Any ideas?

Mark

installing kernel 2.6

[Jeff Lucas]

I am having problems after installing the kernel 2.6.14.2.  it comes up with a 
kernel panic and says something about not being able to boot from the hard 
drive.  I'm a new linux user and like it so far, but I'm having trouble 
getting things to work for me.

Another problem I'm having is installin the driver for my video card.  It's a 
"Nvidia Gforce 4 MX420."  When I try to install the .run program it tells me 
something about the kernel source.  If someone can help me I would Greatly 
Appreciate it.

Upgrading to linux-2.6.14.2

[Jeff Lucas]

I've been trying to install an update from linux-2.4.27-2-k7 to 
linux-2.6.14.2.  But when I install the kernel package that I built and 
reboot to linux-2.6.14.2 it brings up a kernel panic.  When I created the 
menu config file I made sure that all filesystems where to be installed in 
the package and not as modules.  I also built the IDE chipset and SCSI into 
the package.  Nothing has worked so far.  I am a BRAND NEW user to linux and 
I'm using debian GNU/Linux 3.1.  I need detailed info if possible.

Thanx

Problems installing multiple Adaptec RAID controllers with Debian 3.1

[Lucas Barbuto]

Hi List,

I've got this friend who's got this problem, I'll make it as short as I can.

I've installed Debian 3.1 onto a SCSI RAID5 provided by an Adaptec
AIC-7899. The system boots and runs fine. I'm able to access the array
via the I2O subsystem.

To increase my storage capacity for a cheaper price, I'm trying to add a
SATA RAID5 via an Adaptec 2410SA. After a few headaches with BIOS
configuration, the system will boot with the 2410SA installed alongside
the AIC-7899. So here's the problem:

With the stock 2.6 kernel that came with Sarge (2.6.8-1-386) I'm able to
see the SATA RAID array with the aacraid driver:


Nov  8 19:18:41 venus kernel: AAC0: kernel 4.2.4 build 7348
Nov  8 19:18:41 venus kernel: AAC0: monitor 4.2.4 build 7348

Nov  8 19:18:41 venus kernel: SCSI device sdb: 1757804544 512-byte hdwr sectors 
(86 MB)

Nov  8 19:18:41 venus kernel:  /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0: unknown 
partition table
Nov  8 19:18:41 venus kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi1, 
channel 0, id 0, lun 0


Looks good, but fdisk doesn't like it


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdb

Unable to open /dev/sdb 


And no amount of fiddling seems to help. A post on my local Linux users
group suggested I try a newer kernel. So I did. I tried installing a
2.6.14 kernel with kernel-package, which went quite smoothly, until I
tried to boot. The system now hangs at this stage

(That may not be exactly correct, I had to manually copy it down off the
screen in a hurry) I can't review any more of the boot messages. Not
really understanding how ACPI works and what it can do/break, I tried
disabling it from the GRUB command line with pci=noacpi and then with
acpi=off. Both times the system hung at the same spot with (from memory)
the same error.

OK, can anybody suggest where I might go from here? Does anyone have
experience with this hardware combination (i.e. is it possible to put an
AIC-7899 and an 2410SA in the same Debian system and get them to work)?
Any pointers would be great.

Regards,

If both interfaces are on the same subnet, then you aren't routing.

Perhaps you should rethink what you are trying to do.  Why does it 
matter which interface your traffic leaves on if both are on the same

If you /really/ want to send traffic out on the same interface it came

howto create debian package with conf files

[lucas kenter]

Hello,

I would like to create a debian package for a simple project that I've
created. The project contains only scripts, so there is no makefile or
anything like that. For the script to work I would like to prompt for some
simple questions like "what url should be used", "what organisation does
this computer belong to".

I've created a postinst script that asks these questions and writes them in
a configuration file. (and this configuration file is listed in conffiles)

Now the problem that I have is that when I reinstall this package, or
upgrade it, all the questions are asked again.

After some research I'm still not able to find a simple example or howto to
do this right.

- Is it necessary to use debconf to accomplish this?
- I thought that the postinst script was called with an argument
install/upgrade/configure and so I could ask my question only when it was
and install or configure, but this doesnt work. apperantly upgrading a
package also uses argument configure...

I've tried to look at packages like postfix, to see how they do it, but
those are to difficult for my simple scripting skills :-(

Regards,
Luke

Re: Debian on Acer Aspire 5745PG?

[Lucas Lima]

About the nvidia driver, you can try download it directly from the debian
repositories (wich is the best option) or download it from the nvidia site.
The file from nvidia's site is a ".run" so you just need to execute it and
follow the steps wich will be provided by the software itself.

We moved our servers from redhat to debian.
A few servers moved to lineox, as their administrators were more
comfortable with the redhat-ish way of doing things.
We consolidated most of our servers to vservers as part of our migration.
This makes it trivial to replicate for failed hardware, and reduces our
hardware requirements. Makes it trivial to backup or restore full complete
configurations.

Our next step is to move to decent server hardware. We are moving to
namebrand HP proliant hardware.

Our final step is to move to full HA-Clustering+DRBD (for realtime data
synchronization)+vserver.

So we will finally have full high availability clustering for our servers,
which should give us an additional 9 on reliability.

Yes.
Something like this:
apt-get -t testing install perl

It depends on what perl you are upgrading to.
Stay with stable if you are running a publicly exposed webserver.
A more important questions is, why are you upgrading perl?
If it works, dont' touch it.

Strange LVM on RAID Behaviour with Sarge

[Lucas Barbuto]

Hi All,

Can someone explain this strange LVM2 on RAID-1 behaviour?

I've recently made a fresh install of Sarge using a recent
debian-installer (more recent than RC2).  I've got two 80GB SATA drives.
 I've partitioned them as follows:

>8 0  117220824 sda
>8 1  32098 sda1
>8 2   39062047 sda2
>8 3   39062047 sda3
>8 4   39062047 sda4
>816  117220824 sdb
>817  32098 sdb1
>818   39062047 sdb2
>819   39062047 sdb3
>820   39062047 sdb4

With software RAID-1 between each of these partitions (sda1 + sda2 = md0
and so on).  /dev/md0 (small) is for /boot.  /dev/md1 and /dev/md2 are
combined into a LVM2 volume group (vg0) and hold my other system
partitions including the root partition.  Another volume group (vg1)
fills /dev/md3, I plan to use it for backup, or just as some space that
I can use to grow my other partitions as needed.

So everything installed fine with the 2.6 kernel (2.6.8-1-386) booting
off RAID-1, all partitions except /boot in logical volumes.

I get this error at the top of dmesg (repeated many times):

> devfs_mk_dir: invalid argument.<4>devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent 
> for /disc

I don't know if that means anything... yesterday, I added another IDE
device to the system and it showed up as /dev/hdd as I expected and I
formatted it and copied some backup files onto it.  Then I noticed that
/dev/md3 was running in degraded mode, missing /dev/sda4.  I was unable
to hot-add the device back in:

> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo mdadm /dev/md3 -a /dev/sda4
> mdadm: hot add failed for /dev/sda4: Invalid argument

And I get this message on the console:

> md: trying to hot-add unknown-block(8,4) to md3 ...
> md: could not lock unknown-block(8,4).

I did a lot of googling but didn't turn up much, except that maybe
something else could be accessing the device?  In the past I'd had an
experience where the RAID hadn't started properly and LVM2 had started
using the RAID member device as it's physical volumes.  This didn't
really make sense but I thought I'd try it.  So I deleted my logical
volume off vg1 and removed vg1 and magically, mdadm let me hot-add
/dev/sda4 back in and happily started syncing it up... so I recreated
the volume group and a logical volume and formatted and mounted it, all
seemed to work fine... but I rebooted and /dev/md3 was back in degraded
mode... and there was gnashing of teeth.

So now I am stuck.  Anyone?  I thought I understood enough about RAID-1
and LVM2 but perhaps not.  So is the LVM interfering by starting up
before the md devices are ready?  This only happens with md3, the others
are working fine.

Thanks,

-- 
Lucas

Leni,

Thanks for following up my post, I'm sure we're not the only two people
in the world to have seen this problem.

What about installing udev as a replacement for devfs?

As a quick followup to my post, I was messing around with initrds and
things and completely hosed my disk setup leaving my system unbootable.
 I've since re-installed, but I'm leaving both boot and root out of LVM,
just on RAID-1.

Would it be safe for me to follow this simple howto[1] for using udev
and not devfs on Sarge?  I can't think why not.  That should get rid of
these error messages also, yes?  I might give it a try.

Nevermind, there's nothing on my Sarge system related to devfs, so I
guess it's only in the kernel.  Perhaps a custom built kernel is the
only way to avoid these messages?  Or I can wait for Debian's 2.6.8-11...

compile module without compiling it for current kernel

[Lucas Albers]

make-kpkg clean; make modules_clean;
make-kpkg --subarch=i686 --initrd --revision=6  --append-to-version=.6
--added_modules qla2x00 modules

When I compile this this will always compile the /usr/src/modules/*
packages with for the currently running kernel, not for the revision I am
passing via make-kpkg.
How to compile 3rd party modules using make-kpkg without compiling them
for the currently running kernel?
I want them compiled for an arbitrary kernel?

grub not seeing sata drive

[Lucas Albers]

Here's a question for you.  I Debian earlier on a machine at home that has
SATA drives.  The SATA drives are configured as IDE-3 and IDE-4 Master's. 
It installs fine, but when it boots, GRUB apparently can't find the config
file.  It defaults to a text mode prompt GRUB>.  It I enter

   root (hd2,0)
   configfile grub/grub.conf

it pops up the normal graphical GRUB menu and boots fine.
Internally, (hd2,0) is /dev/sda1. I tried setup (hd2) and that didn't make
any difference.  So, it seems that GRUB can read the MBR from the drive,
but can't or won't look for config file on the same drive. Have you seen
anything like this?

I'm surprised lilo did not work, as the lilo install has been tested a lot
more then the grub install, but good to hear grub worked.

Theoretically you can install to raid from the installer, if you load raid.
I wrote that rootraiddoc and I'm not sure of the steps to install directly
from the sarge installer onto a raid system.
If anyone from the installer team has better directions or a definitive
answer on whether you can install to raid from the installer, then let me
know, and I will update the document.

Making Fixed Width Fonts Available to GTK2

Hi,
Just a quick one, can someone explain how I can make fixed width fonts 
(from the artwiz-fonts package) available to GTK2 applications, 
specifically gnome-terminal (you know where I'm going with this).  
Artwiz fonts are available to X, but not to GTK2 --- why?  What do I

Software Raid Documentation

[Lucas Albers]

I've been working on software raid documentation.
It documents how to convert an existing system to software raid.
I just added some directions on how to use a stock kernel with it.
Specifically directions on updated directions on using initrd, as per
numerous and repeated requests.

Please let me know if you find any problems/bugs/improvements.

Note:
I will not convert it to sgml.
We the maintainers believe it is good enough in html/text form.
Homepage:
http://rootraiddoc.alioth.debian.org

It was actually quite beneficial to have access to the version control
system and bug tracking system on alioth.
Even for just a documentation project.

Alioth really makes it much easier to maintain a project.

I wrote this document.
It documents how to convert to software raid, not how to install directly
to software raid.
While it's possible to install directly to software raid, I have not
documented it.
The biggest recurring problem is:
Kernel does not have software raid loaded as module or compiled into kernel.

Trust me the directions on the document are correct as i've had hundreds
of people use it.
Try installing to a normal non-raid, then covert to software raid, this
will help you understand the process.
Then once you understand the process, determine how to install directly to
software raid in the installer.
Then send me the directions on what you did to install direct from the
installer, and I will include them in the document.
Contact me with any further questiosn concerning this, thanks.

Removing gForge --- can I overcome 'permanent corruption of your debconf and package databases'?

[Lucas Barbuto]

Hi Debian Users,

I've recently got into some trouble with the gforge package.  Namely, it
didn't install properly, now I can't remove it.  Specifically, the
packages gforge-shell-ldap and gforge-ldap-openldap can't be
uninstalled, leaving apt in an unusable state.  I have submitted a bug
report for gforge-shell-ldap to which the maintainer hasn't replied,
however, he has replied to a similar bug (relating to the installation
of gforge-ldap-openldap) in which he's referred to my problem as
"permanent corruption of your debconf and package databases".

I'm hoping someone can help me find a hack/work-around for this problem,
or at least give me some idea of how I might be able to work through it
because I'm lost.

Here's the relevant bug reports:

Bug #241389: Pre-removal script returns error exit status 5
Bug #237229: gforge-ldap-openldap: LDAP Configuration Failed

I'm running Sid.  If anyone could give me an idea about this that would
be great.  Or even just tell me if I'm going to have to wait for the
package maintainer to fix it.  Or if it's un-fixable.

Thanks,

delete key doesn't work with csh in xterm session

[Lucas Albers]

I recently upgraded our central server from redhat 7.3 to debian woody/sarge.

Not so hard, been really happy with the new setup.

For users using /bin/csh and running rxvt-xterm, their delete key does not
work.
Users running /bin/bash and running rxvt-xterm, their delete key does work.

Both delete keys work on an ssh session.
I've looke through google, and found some items on setting delete keys
manually but they do not appear to be applying correctly for csh.
I've run accross references to two methods for setting the delete key:
bindkey "e[^H" delete-char# Delete
and
stty echoe erase ^H

But neither work for csh rxvt-xterm sessions.

Any ideas on what else I can try?

use 2.6.5 kernel with debian patches and tg3 network card

[Lucas Albers]

I want to use the 2.6.5 kernel with the debian patches.
They are some additional patches that apply cleanly to the 2.6.5 kernel.
So I want to use this particular version.
I have the tg3 network card, and so I need to use it.
Tigeon3 support is disabled in this version, how can I enable it again?
I was trying to track down the changes made to disable the tg3 item and I
was not sure If I had tracked them all down to these files:

/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/Makefile
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5/drivers/net/Kconfig

I installed the kernel-patches and have been looking through them in order
to locate the items I need to enable.

What happens to someone upgrading to the 2.6.5 kernel if they have the tg3
network card?
Do they suddenly discover on their next reboot that their network does not
work?

Use ssh-agent, and ssh2 public keys for passwordless login on your machines.
I use this method to update my servers every day in about 3 minutes.
http://cfm.gs.washington.edu/security/ssh/client-pkauth/

Just run monit or netsaint to monitor your machines, and you nullmailer to
mail you when a system is down.
Monit can even restart the service if it's puking.
monit is a debian package, you can download sample monit debian config
from here:

http:// www.cs.montana.edu/support/monit.debian.v1.tar.bz2
(note the space in address.)

I changed it from a monolithic config to a seperate config file for each
service so it's trivial to add services in for each system.
You juste need to include your service in monitrc and then edit
global_defines and stick it all in /etc/monit and you are good to go.

Print out the manual.
It takes awhile to setup/configure.

I use it to maintain 100 lab machines and 5-10 servers.
Works wonderful.
I have dhcp reservations for all the machines, so I can just boot off the
cd and do a complete automated install.
Or I can connect with ssh and do an upgrade from within the image to a
newer version of the image.
Don't use 3.3 yet, as they appear to still be ironing out bugs.

I use this kernel extensiviely to harden my public servers.
He's looking for companies that use it to sponsor him on the development.
You'd think one of the big companies like IBM or HP would be willing to

If you feel the urge to sponsor him (however big or small) , then get

Re: mail server changing machines

[Lucas Albers]

I dealt with this problem recently, my mail server had one of it's raid
disks failed. I had to move it to another machine.
While I powered the machine off to put in a new disk.
I didn't want the downtime required for the reboot and putting in the new
disk.

I use the vserver project to use virtual server images, so it was trivial
to do a full move of the system.
Steps:
Rsync data from vserver1 for virtual host mailserver1 to vserver2.
stop mailserver on vserver1.
Rsync data again, from vserver1 for virtual host mailserver1 to vserver2.
start mailserver1 on vserver2.

Downtime:
10 seconds to stop instance of mailserver1.
30 seconds to sync changes after system shutdown.
10 seconds to start up new vserver instance.

Then the new system comes up with the exact same configuration as the old
system, and mail just starts flowing through it again.
I use this method to cluster webservers/database servers/mail servers.
If you use heartbeat and drbd you can get transparent replication of the
data in realtime, whith automatic failover if the primary server dies.

My attempts to go from knoppix to debian and have a normal debian install
all puked. I use the bonzai linux installer to install a stock stable
debian system with automatic hardware detection.
I used testing on systems that need the hardware support.
I've NEVER used X on ANY debian system, I only use them for servers.
So I have no idea what it does for x/sound/usb detection, nor do I care.

Read my amazingly detailed and concise writeup on how to convert to a raid
system. http://rootraiddoc.alioth.debian.org.

I've been very happy with the upgradability of debian systems, it has
spared me a lot of work on maintaining various computataional clusters.
You'd have to be stupid to use FC1 or FC2 on a server.
Google for the reasons.

Bonzai is a modified debian stable installer that uses the 2.4.20 kernel

I use it to install on all my servers.

I dont' think I'd choose debian stable as the easiest linux desktop to setup.
For a server I'd use stable.

For a desktop,
Perhaps knoppix, cause what public services do you have exposed?
Or sarge.

What you have likely *are* the latest versions in Woody.  You should
read about the difference among the various Debian package release
lines: http://www.debian.org/releases/>.  The upshot is that
Debian users generally have to choose between having a system that is
very low maintenance ("stable") or a system that has all the latest
version of everything ("unstable").  If you want to generally follow
the "stable" release, but have a few very updated packages, then you
have other options (e.g., backports.org).
