Hi,

Did you checked the hardware?

When I powered on again, I got an unexpected grub shell.


I have to leave for a the evening, but the CPU is AMD, ASUS motherboard,

I've tried to reproduce this problem on four systems running Debian
testing with Xfce4 and couldn't see it.

What I have seen of late is that icons in /some/ gtk-based applications
show up as high contrast icons, rather than whatever they've been set to
in the Icons tab. But I gather that what you're seeing in this regard is
rather more far spread -- all applications, even Thunar?

Do you have both gtk2-engines-xfce and gtk3-engines-xfce and
gtk2-engines-pixbuf installed? (I'm no expert at this, but have just
seen aberrations in icon and theme behaviors with /some/ of my themes
and icon sets when these aren't installed.

Hi,

It happens in all applications even in Thunar.

I've checked the packages that you told me and every thing looks fine.

Just in case it could be a clue, I get this in ~/.xsession-errors

Re: Scratchy sound with debian wheezy on ASUS A73B series

[Ximo]

On 04/01/2013 01:15 AM, Vincent Hobeïka wrote:

Dear debian users,

I have recently set up a debian wheezy on an ASUS A73B series.
Everything went well except that the sound is very scratchy. I can
play sound but there is an additional annoying noise, like a bad
communication on old land lines: scrrrtch scrrrtch. The higher the
volume, the higher the frequency of the scratches (and volume too). It
sounds a bit like a saturated amplifier, but not exactly. It's more
like a bad contact which would always work badly. There is a dual boot
on the computer and the sound is working perfectly well on another non
free operating system. So I suppose that the hardware is ok.

I have checked the volumes and they are not at the max. I have tried
to play with alsa settings without any improvement.
I tried adding a PCM channel in order to reduce this effect (see
.asoundrc below). I can change the volume with three channels: master,
PCM, speaker.
I have tried removing pulseaudio, alsa-base, reinstalling them one by
one... I finally installed paman and pavucontrol and played with them,
but nothing worked.

Any help or hint would be very welcome. Here is my setup:

Did you check the log file `/var/log/Xorg.0.log`?.

Maybe you can find a clue there.

Antivirus AVP para linux

[Ximo Nadal]

Hola:

Me he bajado de <http://www.avp-es.com> una versión beta del
antivirus AVP para Linux (escanea virus de Win'9x).

He pensado ponerlo para escanear por la noche en el servidor todos
los directorios compartidos tipo Samba con máquinas de Windows.

¿Alguien lo ha probado?, ¿merece la pena?.

Saludos y gracias.

Memoria reconocida por el sistema vs. memoria instalada

[Ximo Nadal]

Hola:

Tenemos un servidor con Debian que es un PC clonico, tiene instaladas
128 Mb de memoria RAM y la BIOS cuando arranca cuenta las 128 Mb.
Sin embargo cuando hacemos un free -kt lo que obtenemos es:

total   used free sharedbufferscached
Mem:   63528  62332  1196 49252 5736  34080
-/+ buffers/cache: 22516  41012
Swap:  66524   60  66364
Tota:   130052   6249267560

Suponemos que la memoria de swap se refiere a la partición de swap,
con lo que parece que el sistema solo está reconociendo 64 Mb de las
128 Mb instaladas.

En el libro "The Debian Linux User's Guide" en el Appendix 7 apartado
Arguments leí lo siguiente (que reproduzco, con perdón):
[...]
mem=
Since the BIOS of most PCs can only report 64 Megabytes there are
times when the kernel needs to be told that there is more memory than
this. This argument should be used with great care, since, if you lie
to the kernel and tell it that it has more address space than it
actually has, the system will crash miserably as some time in the
near future. Also make sure that your system does not use the highest
memory for caching the bios code, as use of this memory by the kernel
will ultimately crash the system as well. The value given after the
equal sign should be the highest ram address available to the kernel,
so a 96 Megabyte system would get an argument like
"mem=0x600".
[...]

Por lo que entendí estos parametros se podian poner en el lilo.conf y
tomarian efecto despues de ejecutar liloconfig y rearrancar el
sistema, pero cuando pongo en lilo.conf mem=0x800 (valor
hexadecimal de 128 Mb) y ejecuto liloconfig me aparece el error:
Syntax error near line 7 in file /etc/lilo.conf
Que es la linea donde he puesto lo de mem=...

¿Alguien sabe como puedo hacer que el sistema reconozca las 128 Mb?.
Una posibilidad seria actualizar la BIOS del equipo pero me da miedo
porque la placa es marca "la guitarra" y no se si la encontaré (si es
que existe) asi que preferiria hacerlo con Debian (si se puede).

Disculparme por este "cacho mail".

Espero vuestra ayuda.
Saludos.
