Re: Only One Side Speaker is giving sound
Regarding my earlier mail. I am using debian on my laptop so the speakers are internal speakers. I also use windows on dual boot on the same laptop and I face no such audio issue while using Windows. So, I am pretty sure it's not a hardware issue on my laptop. If it works just fine in windows and not in debian that means there's definitely some issue with debian. I have installed non-free drivers as mentioned in the previous mail but that doesn't seem to resolve the issue. Waiting for some guidance to resolve this. :) On Fri, 2021-08-06 at 07:10 +, Rishi wrote: > Hope you are in good health amid this pandemic. > > I am using Debian 11 right now and I have noticed that while playing > video/audio, I can hear sound from only one side speaker. > I have installed the nonfree realtek and intel firmware and updated > it > to latest version but I am still facing that issue. > Is this a specific issue to the current debian 11 rc or just an in > general issue?

Only One Side Speaker is giving sound
Hope you are in good health amid this pandemic. I am using Debian 11 right now and I have noticed that while playing video/audio, I can hear sound from only one side speaker. I have installed the nonfree realtek and intel firmware and updated it to latest version but I am still facing that issue. Is this a specific issue to the current debian 11 rc or just an in general issue? Please guide me. Regards.
Looking for a Branded server with HW Raid support in Debian
Hi I plan on using Debian Server in my office but to prevent downtime, I wanted to use a Branded server like IBM, Dell or HP with RAID-1 mirroring hotswap drives. Has anyone had experience with them and could make a recommendation on which model to buy? I had bought an IBM server last year with a Hardware RAID controller and implemented RAID-5. Although Debian installed fine, the RAID tools were made by IBM only for RedHat, Suse, Turbo Linux and Windows. I tried converting the rpm to deb, but wasn't able to get it to work. :-( Regards Rishi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: /dev/hda full - cannot find used space
I have recently noticed that the hda partition is full. The problem is that I can't see where the space has gone. From the du listings, I can account for maybe 70MB on hda, but nowhere near 250MB. I would be grateful for any help or suggestions. This happened to me once when I was doing a backup. My script wasn't configured to do proper checks and thus the / partition got full.

Re: /dev/hda full - cannot find used space
When this happens to me it's usually because I've accidentally copied files to the root partition before mounting another file system. i.e. There may be files 'under' one of your mount points that you cannot see because you've mounted the file system on it. You should be able to check by rebooting into single user, unmounting /home, /usr /tmp and /var, and checking that there are no files in the mount points themselves. Instead of that just re-mount / in another folder ... i.e. mkdir /mnt/slash mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/slash du -chs /mnt/slash/* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Branded Servers that support Debian GNU/Linux
Hi Anyone knows of any Branded (HP/IBM/Dell etc.) Server that supports Debian GNU/Linux (Sarge) I need to order a server for a customer with the following specs or higher. CPU: P-IV RAM: 512 MB HDD: 160 GB I need the following to work. (a) 1024x768 Resolutin Display for X Windows (b) Network card for accessing the Network (c) Disk Controllers / Drives for accessing and partitioning the hard disk. Thanks Regards -- Rishi
Re: Branded Servers that support Debian GNU/Linux
Try asking HP. :-) Already did that and they said that Debian isn't certified, however, it may work. That's why I thought I'd try the Debian User Community and check if there are servers that support Debian Sarge for at least (a) disk controllers and (b) network card. high resolution is something that would be nice, but I can do with 800x600 if I have no choice. Regards -- Rishi
Re: Branded Servers that support Debian GNU/Linux
Of course they don't *support* debian. If you have a problem, *you* would have to fix it, not HP. That is what support means. I am being misunderstood. Let me clarify. What I meant is that I needed to know if the Debian Sarge distribution has all the drivers needed to detect the hardware on a particular HP / IBM or Dell server. I don't mean that I want them to support me like on the phone or email. That way I don't have to regret that Debian is unable to install on a server because of a controller driver not being available. -- Rishi
Re: Does NVIDIA 128 MB RAM (Pine) AGP Card support 1280x1024 and play mpeg videos in X windows?
You really need to tell us a little more about your system, I assume you have a SIS chipset and what to know if you can switch graphics cards to get a higher resolution. A lot of that depends on the monitor, lcd, or display you are using. Some displays cannot support that resolution. Search with google, for your display and see it if supports that resolution. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 753DF 17 monitor and it does support 1280x1024 but the mpeg movies don't play at that resolution. Does your motherboard support an AGP slot, some intergrated video motherboards do not support, or have a AGP slot. It would be kind of silly to buy a card that can not be used on your board. Yes. AGP support exists. The current card is an AGP card. Regards -- Rishi

Re: retaining file permissions and ownership across sub-directories in Linux
The second matter is harder. You have some options tho. You can try to set apropriate umask for your users. That's a good start. If it doesn't help, you can try to apply some acl-magic (AFAIR, there is a possibility to set up a default permission scheme for directory with ACLs) Hi Thanks for responding. With a little googling and understanding what you spoke about I solved my problem (almost) by using the umask option. After RTFM I knew what I had to do and got it done. This is the link that helped me out. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~rc/help/faq/permissions.html By setting the umask 002 in /etc/profile my problem is resolved as far as I create files and folder using Nautilus or a bash console. :-( The problem still persists if I create folders or save files (attachments) using applications like Kmail, Mozilla, or Konqueror. :-( Is there a global setting to set the umask for all applications to use 002? Regards Rishi
Re: retaining file permissions and ownership across sub-directories in Linux
Is there a global setting to set the umask for all applications to use 002? Probably not. If the application insists on giving a file permissions, let's say, 0600 you can't forbid it with umask. With umask you can only prohibit them from giving some permissions. Not the other way around, as is in your case :-( Ok. Any ideas where to configure it Konqueror, Mozilla and Kmail? These are the apps I need to configure to save files with the 002 umask setting. BTW. thanks for support and help with this query of mine. Appreciate it. Rishi
retaining file permissions and ownership across sub-directories in Linux
Hi I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question. If it is not, I would be grateful to anyone that would be kind enough to point to me appropriate forum so that I can take this query there instead. I need to retain the same file permissions and ownership across sub-directories in Linux. I've got a 2nd hard disk (160 GB) and mounted in /vol1 I have 10 users and 2 groups on this system. These users access the system from their disk less terminals (LTSP)... Inside /vol1 I have created two folders - sales - finance The two groups I have created on the system is sales and finance and a few users belong to sales, a few to finance and a few to both. I have set the owner of sales to root:sales and root:finance to finance folders respectively. The permissions on both folders are set to 775. However, when users create files and folders within this folder the owners, groups and permissions are not the same as the parent folder. I was told by someone to do 'chmod ug+s sales finance' and that will retain the permissions and user and group ownership as the parent folders no matter which user logs in to save files within. However, after trying that, I wasn't successful. Any ideas on how to achieve what I'm trying to do? Maybe there is another more obvious and simple way to do this and I'm trying to do this in a very complicated way? Any help would be great. Thanks -- Rishi

Re: How to get the 2nd CPU to work?
Are you freaking blind?!? All the information is there, telling you that they are there and working properly. What more do you want? Hey .. dude... I'm not sure ok... I'm just asking... You don't have to be so rude. If you read my question I am clearly saying that it appears to have recongnized the 2nd CPU.. I just posted here to get a better sense of how to confirm if the 2nd CPU is working or not... -- The output of dmesg and /proc/cpuinfo appears to have recognized the 2nd CPU. Any ideas if (a) the 2nd CPU is being used OR (b) it's not being used -- All the others on this list have responded helping me out... Thanks you guys.

Anyone managed to install LVE on Debian?
Hi Has anyone managed to install LVE on Debian? I'm using Knoppix 3.2 and not had much luck. I posted a question on the LVE forum, but the guy said my problem was distro specific and that I would have to look for help else where. http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=994595forum_id=336768 I'm stuck figuring out a way to install the 'qt3-devel' package. Can anyone point me in some direction to figure this out? Better yet . is there a Video Editor already available for Debian. I need to join two MPEG videos.

Is there another way to do apt-get dist-upgrade with a slow internet connection?
Hi I use Knoppix 3.2 at home. I have an extreemly slow dial up connection to the NET from here. However, the speed in my office is super fast. One option to do a dist-upgrade would be to take the computer to the office and do it over the week-end, but I was wondering if there was an alternative to that.. Something on the lines off downloading the files in the office and copy on a CDROM. Then tell apt-get to look for the dist-upgrade from the CDROM.. Is this doable? Any tips / advice on which software to download or man page to read? Regards Rishi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
