This discussion if kind of pointless. I've done it both ways, both work,

It is more lines the stardard way, I give you that. But it is trivial since 
most of the time you spend recompiling your kernel is spent... well, 
compiling.

And then you just have to cut an paste the kernel to wherever it goes, and 
deal with the boot loader, as oposed to installing a large package, ... In my 
case I feel that it takes longer if I do it the debian way, and also you 
loose track of whats going on.

In conclussion, I think the standard way as opposed to the debian way 
gives you a clear idea of whats going on, more control over the process, as 
opposed to the click'n go approach that debian uses. But Rich is right... 
if you have to install 10 kernels on 10 different machines, having a nice 
package you can just click on and forget about it is more efficient. I am 
just talking from the perspective of the end user with a couple of 
machines... I guess I should have stated that from the begining.

waking it up. If I hit the power button (the way I use to wake up the machine

Activating ACPI supend and ACPI Hibernate in klaptop

2003-07-29 Thread Marino Fernandez
Does anybody knows how to do this?

I've learned in the net that, for example in Mandrake 9.1 you have to install 
a package with some scripts (i.e. for suspend suspend-scripts), and that 
latter you can invoke them from /usr/bin/pmsuspend... again, this in 
mandrake.

In klaptop there is the configure acpi option, and then it ask for you to 
enter the comands your system uses for 'standby' (temporary sleep), 
'suspend' (suspend-to-RAM) and 'hibernate' (supend-to-disk)... 

Anybody knows how to do this in debian?

 AFAIK all you need is the necessary kernel drivers and the acpid
 package. Everything should work then.
 (I don't really know if acpi is available in the stock kernels, since
 it's marked experimental in 2.4.2x)

I compiled ACPI support in the kernel on 2.6.0-test2, and I have acpid already 
up... I just do not know how to tell my machine to go to sleep!

 I don't personally, I tried it once, didn't work easily, so I just leave
 the thing running :-) Getting versions of acpi and swsusp for the same
 kernel, modifying osl.c to import my modified dsdt, etc. I am lazy.

 If you are more ambitious than I, look at swsusp.sf.net or just do like
 I do and wait for the 2.6 series kernels to be released with all the
 hard stuff done for you... well, most of the hard stuff anyway

I am running 2.6.0-test2 (with all the acpi stuff compiled into the kernel), 
that is the reason I am perplexed, I though I had everything set, but 
apparently klaptop needs some command to suspend or hibernate my laptop.

I am not trying to say RTFM but read Debian Reference 
(http://www.debian.org/doc/). There is a chapter about compiling the 
kernel... Really, you need to read this.

Once said that, I do not use Debians packages to compile the kernel... they do 
everything for you... I feel that if you are going to compile your own kernel 
you should be aware of every step, but that's just me... and it is really 
easy either way (Debians way or the manual way).

So the only package I need is the kernel per se, and gcc (2.95 or 3.2, I 
always have problems with 3.3, and I seem to remember that this is a known 
issue).

Also, not relying on Debian packagest allows you to use really up to date 
versions of the kernel. For example I am running with a 2.6.0-test2 kernel, 
released just a few hours!!

In Debian Reference there is an explanation for compiling the kernel the 
debian way and for compiling it manually... and to be honest, I think both 
ways are very easy... the hard part is not the compilation per se, or 
making the proper changes so your system boots OK (ALWAYS REMEMBER TO UPDATE 
LILO OR GRUB), but to configure the kernel (make menuconfig or however you do 
it) properly... but this, like everything, is a trial an error thing... and 
very instructive about the innards of the kernel.

Kernel 2.6.0-test2 minor issues. Works well!!!

2003-07-27 Thread Marino Fernandez
I've just compiled this kernel, and I am running with it. Some issues I had 
before with test1 are gone (for example I was unable to unmount my ethernet 
card upon reboot).

I have to say that everything seem to be working well, that ACPI seem to work 
(although no thermal monitoring in my machine). My PCMCIA and USB port seem 
to be working OK.

I just have 2 issues:

1) I have not been able to enable the linux (Tux) logo during the initial 
bootup, except in monochomatic (an it is very ugly). Anybody know how to 
enable this (the little penguin on the left upper corner during boot) As 
you see not a life or death issue.

2) The second issue is that, KLaptop lets you configure ACPI, and to enable 
Standby, Suspend and Hibernate (suspend to disk). But apparently you have to 
enter a comand in a little dialog box. Does anybody knows were can I find 
them... or just tell me.

 Marino helped me to find what I was doing wrong with my PCMCIA modem and

 When I start up the laptop with an ethernet card in the slot, it doesn't
 recognize it on boot, despite having the driver enabled in the kernel.
 If I remove the card and re-insert it, it finds the device and sets it
 up.  If I remove it and insert the modem card, nothing happens.  Remove
 and insert again and it loads the modem.

 In short, to make PCMCIA devices work, it appears I need to insert them
 twice.  The second time it recognizes them and works it's magic.

 Anyone know why this is?

Why you don't do lsmod when it does not work and then lsmod when it works to 
see which modules are loaded/installed... what are the differences... then 
try to install the module you think you need when the PCMCIA modem does not 
work  with insmod... i.e. insmod themodule... and if that works just add the

 Dear Marino,


 Nice HOWTO.

 I like to know, if the change to fstab (sysfs and usbfs) will affect how
 2.4* kernel works? Have you tried that?

Yes, I already changed fstabs and I do not have any problems using usb devices 
under 2.4.21... I just printed a page on my USB printer a moment ago.

Actually the only error mesages I get is when 2.6 tries to load a module like 
usb-uhci (named UHCI-hcd under 2.6) as per /etc/modules entry... but 
apparently this does not have any impact... I just wonder why they changed 
the module names.

 About ALSA, it's perfectly working the last time I try them. But it
 seems we need some change in the alsa init scripts. For me, the solution
 was just compiled alsa into the kernel.

Sorry, I just forgot to compile support for my graphic card under ALSA... I 
corrected that and now ALSA works


 Now ACPI. I think it work. But acpid and acpi package doesn't recognize
 the existance, but I haven't try with /sys enabled yet. And another
 thing, I got hang on resume with ACPI.

OK, I'll try ACPI soon... we'll see.

 Its spits out a bunch of messages about /dev/root2 not being a device

 Apparently devfs is a little confused. I'll read up on how to set that

 Can't wait to be running this kernel.  It sounds very promising.

I posted a mini how to recently about compiling this kernel... you may want to

It is really simple, and even more important, it teaches you a loot about

After much fiddling, I finally made this kernel work fine with my machine

4) Copy .config file from the previous kernel (mine is 2.4.21)... although I
am not 100% sure this is needed.

Kernel 2.6.0. Dealing with modules

2003-07-20 Thread Marino Fernandez
I recently compiled a 2.6 kernel, and it sems to be working.

I noticed that my pcmcia modem and my usb digital cameras are not recognized 
(I used to mount my camera in /dev/sda1 as a removable mass storage device).

The question really is, how do you manage modules with this kernel, to start 
fiddling with things (other than putting them in /etc/modules)... what is 
init-modules-utils for?

install with lost of modules I did'nt need. I had to deselect a lot of 
modules that for whatever reason would'nt compile (almost all gave me similar

 sumamente interesante, cuando tenía instalada la knoppix 3.1 nunca se me
 ocurrió que en la página de debian pudiera haber documentación tan clara
 y específica sobre otra distribución ( mas allá de que esté basada en
 debian )y debido a algunos problemas con el kernel decidí migrar a debian

Knoppix=Debian puro y simple... Mi maquina tiene Debian gracias a Knoppix, que 
desde mi perspectiva, además de disco de rescate es simplemente un excelente 
instalador de debian.

 una pregunta

 ¿ cuando se hace toda esta actualización al revés se mantienen todas las
 configuraciones que la knoppix hace automáticamente o hay que restaurarlas
 a manopla ?

No lo se, nunca lo he hecho excepto para algunos paquetes en especifico que me 
interesa mantener como stable... por que quieres downgradear tu debian... yo 
seguí el camino inverso y lo hice lo mas unstable que se puede, y me funciona 
bien, gozo de los paquetes mas recientes, etc... algún dia algo malo me 
pasara y estare pidiendo ayuda en esta lista, pero hasta entonces espero que 
a fuerza de backupear (respaldar?) todo este bien.

Para acabar yo tengo esto en /etc/apt/preferences:

hdparm -d1 /dev/hdx

donde:

checa cat /proc/ide/piix

Si se activo y ese era el problema, entonces, instalate hwtools, busca en

Puedes bajar el codigo fuente de la pagina de MPlayer; trae instrucciones para

Re: Cloning a debian system

  dpkg --get-selections  packages
 
  and on the new machine
 
  cat packages | dpkg --set-selections

 Hooray for the useless invocation of cat! =) Why not this one?

 dpkg --get-selections | cat  packages?

 Personally, I like this:

 dpkg --get-selections | ssh new-machine dpkg --set-selections

Very interesting. For backing up purposes, can this be used  to restore your 
machine to a prior state based on the packages file (down to reinstalling 
the same versions of the packages, and removing any new ones).

 Well, SA as of 2.50 included Bayesian filtering into it.  If it is
 enabled for autolearning there might be some delay as the message is
 scanned by the Bayesian filter and the databases updated.

 The easiest way to know if you have it up and running is to look at the
 size of the bayes_msgcount file in ~/.spamassassin.  There will be 1 dot
 for every message scanned by the filter so the filesize is the number of
 messages scanned.  If it's more than, say, a few dozen and the datestamp on
 the file is recent then, yeah, you have it running.

I have 1376 characters, and the last time stam is fron yesterday... so I guess 
it has been running.

I just upgraded spamassassin from 2.53 to 2.55, and now it takes ages to 
download my email...

I get my mail with postfix/kmail... before it wasn't fast, but it was ok... 
100 messages in a minute or two. Now it takes one minute just for one 
message.

I created a filter to select all incoming mail ant pipe it through 
spamassassin or spamc (with spamd running), and a second one to look at the 
headers for x-spam, etc.

I dpkg --purged spamassassin and installed the previous version, but still it 
is too slow.

Thanks.

 Mplayer (with the mplayer mozilla plugin) also supports this content type.
 Both packages are available for apt, add the following line to your

 deb http://marillat.free.fr stable main

You can also use gxine, but you have to compile this one. It is a real player 
substitute.

However you still need the real player codecs (same with MPlayer if I am not

Otherwise it seem to me that you are all set to enjoy your videos in a linux

Now you should think on getting MPlayer and Freevo... MPlayer has a very nice 
GUI, that pops up form the bottom of the screen if you need it when playing 
in full screen mode... and Freevo is a TiVO/Media center replacement, uses 
MPlayer to play videos, and lets you organize your videos, record TV programs

 Debian doesn't have lib-xine; it has xinelib0 and xinelib1.

I installed libxine1 and xine-ui (unstable) with apt-get... it installed some

 I purged both xine-ui and libxine1 and reinstalled from unstable; this

 It looks like the reiserfs code doesn't compile with your default

Or try using a different compiler (2.95, 3.2 or 3.3.3).

runs pretty fast on my laptop with 512 megs... and I liked so much that I 
erased my SuSE 8.1 install, and replaced it with a Knoppix-debian install... 
and works great.

 Hi group,

 I installed a new kernel (2.4.21) with ext3 included (using make install as

 append=rootflags data=journal but it didn't work.

You are stealing the thread but you made me just realize something very 
important.

You have this problem because you do not have ext3 support built in your 
kernel (you have it as a module). I had the same issue, i got this:

EXT2-fs warning (device ide0(3,8)): ext2_read_super: mounting ext3 filesystem 
as ext2

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.

Not good!.

So I just recompiled my kernel, making sure to include (in filesystems) ext3 
built in the kernel, and now I get this:

kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.

Thank you man!, you saved me from a lot of pain after my next crash!.

 Sure.  Go get whatever kernel source you want, patch it, then use

 you'll be right.

Sorry, dumb question. 
You said go get the kernel source and patch it like you HAVE TO patch it... 
you meant patch with some security patch... if so, were do you get them.

I ask because I recently compiled my first kernel, a 2.4.21, and I just got it

Something unexpected happened to me.

I upgraded gcc to 3.3.3, and afterwards I was unable to compile the 2.4.21 
kernel. I was still able to compile the 2.4.20 version.

However with gcc 3.2.3 and 2.95 I can compile the 2.4.21 kernel.

I do not remember the exact error message, but it was at the very last part of 
the compilation. If somebody is interested I can post that error message

Compiling kernel 2.4.20/2.4.21 questions.

2003-06-19 Thread Marino Fernandez
I've been thinking on compiling my first own kernel for a while, and since 
2.4.21 stable has just been released  I downloaded it and compiled it It 
went surprisingly smothly, just a few problems with lilo (wrong names for the 
labels, nothing serious).

My only (kind-off) problem was with /boot/initrd.gz. My debian came from a 
knopix cd, is a mixture  of testing and unstable, had a kernel 2.4.20-xfs 
before (and still has in LinuxOld), has GCC 3.3. 

When I booted into the new kernel, and  /boot/initrd.gz kicked in, there was a 
problem with the modules on it (ext3 and jsb?), that were compiled for 
2.4.20, so I got a kernel panic and the bootup stalled. Then I read that I 
really do not need /boot/initrd.gz (Debian Reference page 85), so I comented 
it out in lilo like this:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs
label=Linux
initrd=/boot/initrdold.gz
read-only
#   restricted
#   alias=1

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21
label=LinuxNew
#   initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
read-only
#   restricted
#   alias=1

So here is my first question. What is /boot/initrd.gz for anyway?. Do I need 
it?.

My second question is about the xfs patch. Before compilation I tried to patch 
another kernel I was playing with, before compilation (2.4.20)... uuuhhh!... 
should I do it after compilation?.  Anyway, I couldn't patch it, I got a 
message stating that the 3 Hunks failed!?!?!. So I left it out for 2.4.21... 
I don't even think there is a patch for 2.4.21, and if there is, somebody let 
me know Do I need that patch. I use ext3 only, and I have no plans to use 
anything else.

My third question is... well, so far everything works, my laptop is in one 
piece... but I really do not notice any difference... So, why should I use 
this kernel?. I only did it because my knoppix CD does not come with the 
kernel source that I need to recompile the kernel and get the Dazuko 
patch/module I need for  AVguard antivirus.

Finally, how do I get my kernel customized for 686... just to know!.

Thanks.

PD
I guess I should be doing some more reading and googling, but I am a little 
bit tired, so bear with me. Again, thanks.

Help with amavis-postfix

I installed amavis-postfix, enabled my antivirus (Antivir) in 
/etc/amavisd.conf like this:

# H+BEDV AntiVir
$antivir = antivir;

Then added this to /etc/postfix/main.cf:

content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024

Then added this to /etc/postfix/master.cf

127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - y - - smtpd
 -o content_filter=
 -o local_recipient_maps=
 -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=
 -o smtpd_client_restrictions=

 -o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8

smtp-amavis unix - - y - 2 smtp
 -o smtp_data_done_timeout=1200
 -o disable_dns_lookups=yes

Then I did sudo postfix reload and sudo amavisd reload. But when I try to send 
the EICAR test string using telnet, it let's it go through, and gives me 
this message:

However, I have that string saved and Antivir recognices it w/o any problem, 
like this:

DMA is Direct Memory Access... If it is not enabled the CPU uses cycles to 
transfer data from the device to the memory; with DMA enabled the device 
transfers data directly to the memory, bypassing the CPU... that is why if 
you do not have DMA enabled you'll see that the CPU uses more cycles for 
playback.

As for the USB 2 linked device, I am not sure... I know that DMA is disabled 
on CD/DVD for some reason I do not remember, to avoid some problem in some 
systems, but is enableable... I do not know if that apply to other devices 
(firewire/USB2, etc), may be not. 

By the way, How do you use the USB2 device... what kernel do you have... I 
though that USB2 support was available only from kernel 2.5 and above!.

 Hi Guys

 This is an extract from my /etc/fstab -

 0 0.
   
   ^^^ ^
1 - ntfs should be separated by space/tab from whatever follows.
   
2- users - user.
  
yep!... this is my ftab entry for my WinXP partition:

Inserting Init script

2003-06-09 Thread Marino Fernandez
Once I placed a bash script in /etc/init.d, how do I create a link so it is 
executed during halt (runlevel 0) and reboot (runlevel 6). I tried this:

update-rc.d myscriptname start 99 runlvl 0

But I get this error:

expected runlevel [0-9S] (did you forget . ?)

Thanks.

Re: Beginers guide to spamassain ?

2003-06-08 Thread Marino Fernandez
I just set up spamassassin in my machine, using it with Kmail.

1) apt-get install spamassassin
2) Create 2 filters in KMail (I got this looking for it in the net, do not 
remember where)
2.A) First kmail filter
Filter criteria size is less than 25 
Filter Action is pipe through spamassassin or pipe 
   through
spamc (which needs the spamd daemon runningbut is much faster). The 
command spamassassin had to be called with the parameters -P -F 0 in 
versions prior to 2.40; these options are now obsolete and produce warnings 
(current ver is 2.53).
Advanced Options, uncheck the If this filter matches, stop
 
processing here box. If you keep this filter at the top, it will analyze all 
incoming mail, decide whether it's spam or not, and flag it accordingly.

2.B) Second filter behind it
Looks for X-Spam-Flag equals YES and diverts them into a 
specific folder 
called Probably Spam (still testing, don't want to delete any false 
positives by mistake); goodbye to all spam.

3) Teach Spamassassin like this: Put your Spam in one folder, and your good 
mail (HAM) in another, and do this:
sa-learn -spam -dir /home/Marino/Mail/Spam/cur
sa-learn -ham -dir /home/Marino/Mail/inbox/cur
Make sure that all the spam is spam, and that all the ham is ham.

Read the man pages and perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf

By the way, speaking of Spam

The first time I sent you a reply, I sent it directly  to you (I forgot to 
answer to the list) and you bounced it; it came with this notice:

  = BLOCKED EMAIL NOTICE =

Your email, which is attached below, was blocked by my email filter
for one or more of these reasons:

  * Your email came from or via a site whose email servers
(computers which process email) allow relaying or are
insecure in some other way, allowing senders of unsolicited
bulk email (usually called spam) to use these servers to hide
who they are and bypass filtering.

  * Your email had headers or body text which my filter thought
might indicate it is spam.

  * Your email came from or via a site on the spam filter's list
of internet sites which allow users to spam, or which do not
take effective action against users which do so.

If you are a bulk mailer, advertiser (commercial or political), or
are sending any kind of free offer, please remove this address
from your mailing list and do not email me again.

If you are not an advertiser or bulk mailer, you can resend your
mail and get past the filters by including the password listed
below on the Subject: line of your message. It can appear anywhere
on the Subject: line -- it doesn't have to be first, last, or the
only thing on that line.

An easy way to do this is to forward this bounced message back to
me and either change the Subject: line to the password, or add it
to the beginning or end of the Subject: line -- whatever is easier.
That way, I will get your email and be able to add your email
address to my NOBOUNCE list, which means email from you will not
bounce again. :)

Thank you!

I LIKE IT!!! but does it work?... 

I mean, you are telling the spamers that you are there and that your email 
address is good... and also that they need to change their messages so the 
next time your filters do not catch them...

Re: dvd slow and slows clock

 This is probably not debian specific, but I have been revisiting this
 problem for a couple of years and searching on the web and am stumped.

 Dvd is too slow to view a dvd (I've tried a bunch of programs, am
 using vlc now) I have to copy the files to hard drive. But the
 transfer is slow, about 1MB/s and the desktop has bad very response
 time during this time and the system clock runs very slow. The mouse
 in particular will hang for a second or so at a time. 

You probably don't have DMA activated.

I have my DVD on /dev/hdc, and I do this as root:

hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc

Then, if this works, you can put a script on /etc/init.d and a link to it in 
/etc/rcS.d, so DMA gets activated during boot-up however I am not very 
sure about this last step, I've never done it in debian (only in SuSE), so 
maybe one of the more learned debianites can tell us about it.
