[OT] Arvoden för programmering, administration etc
Det här frågan relaterar inte till listans ämne men jag tror att publiken här den bästa att fråga. Jag har under många år arbetat som frilansskribent. Förra året gjorde jag ett uppehåll i skrivandet och arbetade som programmerare hos http://www.globalgenomics.com. Nu har jag återgått till skrivandet men tar enskilda programmeringsuppdrag från min gamla arbetsgivare. Jag har också tänkt söka uppdrag från andra. I första hand är jag intresserad av pythonprogrammering, men har redan åkt på en del linuxadministration. Var är rimliga arvodesnivåer för programmering och systemadministration? Finns det någon jobsökarsajt som förmedlar uppdrag snarare än anställningar? ciao o -- oivvio polite cell +46 (0)709 30 40 30 / phone +46 (0)8 669 64 18 / fax +46 (0)8 84 00 18 varvsgatan 10A / s-117 29 stockholm / sweden
Crash postmortem.
I've been experiencing some system instability lately. The system crashes like once a week or something. Ctrl-Alt-Delete has no effect. And I can't even ssh in from another host to do a graceful shutdown. Of course I'm not asking any of you to analyze my problem with this little informatation. Rather I'm asking for tips an general methods for analyzing crashes after the fact. Or maybe some prog that monitor all processes and warns me when something is starting to go haywire? -- oivvio polite cell +46 (0)709 30 40 30 / phone +46 (0)8 669 64 18 / fax +46 (0)8 84 00 18 varvsgatan 10A / s-117 29 stockholm / sweden
Setting up a bunch of boxen at a small school.
I might soon have to set up some 20 - 30 boxes supporting some 200 students. They'll want to do word processing, browse the web, read mail. Of course any user should be able to log into his/her account from any box. What are my options here? Have all applications run from a powerful server and use boxen as X-terminals, run applications on boxen and store only home dirs on server... I'm looking for a setup that's easy to admin remotely and involves zero fiddling with the individual boxen. All ideas are interesting but some ideas (that have actually been implemented and proven to work on a day-to-day basis) are more interesting. o -- oivvio polite cell +46 (0)709 30 40 30 / phone +46 (0)8 669 64 18 / fax +46 (0)8 84 00 18 varvsgatan 10A / s-117 29 stockholm / sweden

This is in no way a debian specific question, but since we're talking about Evolution I wonder how it's doing these days. I tried it some six months ago and found it a bit to shaky. What's the status today? Is the Palm Pilot sync working yet? Does is handle very large folders (like the one for this list) any faster then say kmail or other other agents that use simple mbox files?

Re: i810 sound?
I have this soundchip and it has been causing me a lot of woes. The sound will work for an hour or sometimes an entire day and then it will break and I'll get this kernel error: i810_audio: drain_dac, dma timeout?\n My guess is that the driver still has a few bugs. But I'm no guru (don't even now how to properly report a driver bug) so don't take my word for it. KDE sound works for awhile then I get kernel overload I have to restart it. Also esd still doesnt work.. for enlightenment. Is this a conflict between esd and arts???

Re: flera nätverkskort...
Systemet kommer alltid att identifiera korten i samma ordning. eth0 kommer att tilldelas det förs identifierade kortet, eth1 nästa kort osv. Alias krånglar bara till saker. Allt du behöver se till är att ladda rätt moduler (eller ha dem kompilerade i kärnan). modconf är ett bekvämt verktyg för att att meka med moduler. Pröva alla nätverksmoduler tills du hittar en som identifierar ditt kort. Ipnummer mm för korten sätter du i /etc/network/interfaces.

Re: I've got a corrupt filesys. How do I check integrity of all installed packages?
Found the answer over at http://www.debianhelp.org I did all this as root. Clean out the package cache. Since I had suffered a filesystem corruption I couldn't trust the files in /var/cache/apt/archives to be ok. apt-get clean Find installed packages dpkg --get-selections | grep -v 'deinstall' | grep 'install'|awk '{print $1}' packs Now we have a file 'pack' with the names of all installed packages. This bash oneliner will install them. for p in `cat packs`; do apt-get install --reinstall --yes $p ;done Although we gave the --yes option, some packages will still ask you questions, so you'll have to monitor the process. This will be a bit less boring if you separate downloading and installation. I didn't do this, but I sure will next time. This should do the trick: download for p in `cat packs`; do apt-get install --download-only --reinstall --yes $p ;done and install for p in `cat packs`; do apt-get install --reinstall --yes $p ;done This method worked like a charm. The only problem was that I had installed an xserver that wasn't deb packed. This had the packaging systems dependency calculations confused and it took some manual fiddling to sort it out.

There may be other ways to do it, but this works: 1. copy the cd files to a temporary directory. 2. in the bin/x86 directory of the cd files, make the following symbolic link: ln -s glibc-2.1 glibc-2.2 3. Run the installer from the temporary directory. The reason it won't install from the cd is that the installer asks your machine what glibc it has, and then looks on the cd for the appropriate binaries.

I find it very unlikely that the 486 CPU should be a limiting factor. If your ISDN modem is connected to an old (not UART 16650) serial port, that may be a problem.
