RAID across kernel upgrade ?
I had a RAID1 on the root fs on the machine with kernel 2.4.27-1-386. Decided at last to upgrade to 2.4.27-3-686. There were no problems with the new kernel installation, only with the RAID1, I lost it :( What is the _right_ procedure of actions might be (well, at least I know one wrong procedure now) ? Dispositon: There is a working RAID1 (mirroring) array /dev/md0 of 2 elements /dev/hda1, /dev/hdc1. kernel 2.4.27-1-386 $ cat /etc/mkinitrd/modules raid1 (Yes, md and raid1 as modules) $ cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] read_ahead 1024 sectors md0 : active raid1 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1[0] ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part1[1] 76603328 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices: /etc/fstab /dev/md0 / ext3defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /boot/grub/menu.lst title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.27-1-386 RAID root(hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-1-386 ro root=/dev/md0 md=0,/dev/hda1,/dev/hdc1 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-1-386.raid savedefault boot /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf DEVICE partitions Goal: Upgrade kernel to 2.4.27-3-686 without losing the RAID1 The fist step is to upgrade the kernel $ aptitude install kernel-image-2.4-686 About the follwing steps I'm not so sure, could you please help me with the following steps? -- Vladimir Zolotykh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

xmove, ssh, and problems
Can't get xmove working in conjunction with ssh. Having two machines, say Grumpy and Sleepy, both have the xsession open, I started xmove on Grumpy $ xmove & [1] 6538 $ Implementing MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 user authentication XMove 2.0 ready. $ xcalc -display grumpy:1 & [3] 6569 $ xmovectrl grumpy:1 -list 2 (no name):0 Don't quite understand why "no name" here, expected something more meaningful like "xcacl" or like. Nevertheless, I saw the xcalc window on Grumpy. Went to Sleepy and $ ssh grumpy $ echo $DISPLAY localhost:10 $ xauth list | grep :10 Got the cookie from the last command, say KEY $ xauth add localhost:10 . KEY $ xmovectrl grumpy:1 -move localhost:10 1 Please note that I tried various different commands instead of the last xmovectrl like $ xmovectrl grumpy:1 -move grumpy:10 1 $ xmovectrl grumpy:1 -move grumpy 1 None of them even worked. After the last xmovectrl command I saw xcalc window on Sleepy. It worked. Then I tried to move xcalc back to Grumpy. On Sleepy I did $ xmovectrl grumpy:1 -move :0 1 There were no messages (either warnings or errors) on Sleepy after that command. On Grumpy I see XMOVE: switching client 1 to display localhost:10 ETHAN: matching depth 24 to depth 24 (It's after moving to Sleepy I guess) XMOVE: switching client 1 to display :0 ETHAN: matching depth 24 to depth 24 However I see no xcalc window on Grumpy, xcalc process is runnig $ ps -l $(pgrep xcalc) F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTYTIME CMD 0 S 1000 6569 6467 0 69 0 - 1067 select pts/0 0:00 xcalc -display grumpy:1 $ xmovectrl grumpy:1 -list 1 (no name):0 But there is no xcalc window nowhere.

m-a + fuse => unresolved references
Does somebody heard or experienced that module-assistant doesn't work with fuse module while make-kpkg does? I've got a bunch of unresolved references with m-a while make-kpkg goes without and I can't get why. Is it my misuse of m-a or kind of a "bug"?

Sorry to bother you, however I got attracted by the posibility to use sshfs and tried to set up it for myself. All went fine until I got to the point which kernel-headers I should install module-assistant suggested "install the package kernel-headers-2.4.27-1-386" however, `aptitude search kernel-headers' showed that there is no such one in the Stable. uname -a said 2.4.27-1-386 And the candidates showen by `aptitude search' are p kernel-headers-2.4.27-2 - Header files related to Linux kernel versi p kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-386 - Linux 2.4.27 kernel headers for 386 p kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-586tsc - Linux 2.4.27 kernel headers for Pentium-Cl p kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-686 - Linux 2.4.27 kernel headers for PPro/Celer p kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-686-smp - Linux 2.4.27 kernel headers for PPro/Celer p kernel-headers-2.4.27-3 - Header files related to Linux kernel versi p kernel-headers-2.4.27-3-386 - Linux 2.4.27 kernel headers for 386 p kernel-headers-2.4.27-3-586tsc - Linux 2.4.27 kernel headers for Pentium-Cl p kernel-headers-2.4.27-3-686 - Linux 2.4.27 kernel headers for PPro/Celer p kernel-headers-2.4.27-3-686-smp - Linux 2.4.27 kernel headers for PPro/Celer p kernel-headers-2.4.27-speakup - Header files related to Linux kernel versi Being not an expert at all it's hard for me to be sure which one I should use.

strcoll, C, ru_RU.KOI8-R
Could you please tell me the group where I could ask about strcoll,
and it's behaviour in different locales?
If it's too a specific question for debian-user, please ignore the rest...
The following prog.
main(int argc, char * argv [])
{
if (argc > 1)
setlocale(LC_COLLATE, "ru_RU.KOI8-R");
else
setlocale(LC_COLLATE, "C");
printf("%d\n", strcoll("a-name", "aname"));
}
prints -65 if called w/o args, and 1 if with them. I found it hell hard
to understand.
Any clue which might help me in resolving this mistery would be
appreciated. In both
locales minus-dash is sure preceding any letter, e.g., strcoll returns
<0 if called with "-"
as first arg, and any letter as the second.

Make up Emacs and XKB
Hi,
I bought Logitech Deluxe (Model name: Y-SU61). It has an additional
key (keycode 94, keysym 0x3c) which is located in the second (from the
bottom) horizontal row between left shift and 'z', marked with `|' and
'\' on it.
I wonder if it is possible to make better use of it (the key that is)
that it's used now. I usually spend all my time in Emacs editing Lisp
sources (chiefly). Here's an excerpt from my XF86Config-4
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules""xfree86"
Option "XkbModel""pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
Option "XkbVariant" "winkeys"
Option "XkbOptions"
"grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,alt:altismeta"
EndSection
The key behaves in strict accordance with /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86
= 94;
and /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/ru
key {[less, greater ],
[ slash, bar ] };
but to me it seems neither sensible nor convenient.
The another somehow related question. The only way I know in Emacs to
change character sets is to call toggle-input-method. By default it is
bound to C-\. According to
Option "XkbOptions"
"grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,alt:altismeta"
the groups are changed by Shift+Ctrl. So the problem: working outside
Emacs I have to use Ctrl+Shift (or any other combination among the
choices offered by Xkb, but none of them is C-\), inside Emacs --
C-\. Trying as hard as I could, still I was unable to figure out is it
possible or not to use _the same_ key combination for switching from
Latin to KOI8 characters everywhere. Would you please suggest
something?

Patching source package?
Hi, I'm rather new to Debian system, so don't blame me too much if you find my question to be trivial or already explained somewhere. I've spent reasonable time to find the answer alone and when failed decided to ask a question which runs thus: [Using Sarge] I'm using libmotif3 binary package 2.2.3-1. Its "option menu" is faulty, the window abruptly loses it's focus. Recently I've been told that this bug is fixed (http://bugs.motifzone.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1260). But how to use this patch in Debian like manner? I decided to 1) download the source package "openmotif", 2) apply the patch to the sources, 3) rebuild the libmotif3.deb and reinstall it. Here is my problem: dpkg-buildpackage expects openMotif-2.2.3.tar.gz as a point to start from. It unpacks it, compiles files and finally builds the libmotif3.deb file. To apply the patch I have to interfere after unpacking the .tar file but before the compilation process starts. How I can do that?
