Hi, I have a DVD+R driver, sometime it can detect a DVD disk automatically, sometime it is not: 1.

I was using following command: mplayer -fs dvd:media/INCONVENIENTTRUTH/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB First of all, you should be able to use a more simplified command line, something like: mplayer -fs dvd:// should do it. You may have to specify a title number, start with mplayer -fs dvd://1 and increase the number until something sensible happens. Hard to tell you in advance which number to use, depends on the DVD. Now, to your problem. I think we first need to figure out if this is an mplayer issue or an issue with the DVD itself. Try playing the DVD on a normal player, or using another program like totem. Do you get the same effect? If so, it's a problem with the DVD. If the DVD is an original, bought copy, you've either been ripped off or something has gone seriously screwy. If it's a copy, that's what you get for trying to rip off the film company ;-) Now assuming other players play it OK, it's starting to sound like an mplayer problem. It would be helpful to see the text output by mplayer when playing the DVD. If mplayer has a problem and so does some other software eg totem, but a hardware DVD player has no problem with it, that implies problems with the DVD reading libraries such as libdvdread and libdvdcss, in which case we are starting to get out of my depth, but let us know what versions of these libraries you have anyway... Thanks Mark, I've just realized my DVD driver is DVD+R, that the DVD disk is DVD-R. Any tricks to play DVD-R disk on DVD+R driver? Thank you.

To be hornest, I am not clear how the DVD system works. Is the DVD like a CD, the module need be loaded, then be mounted to a file system? I guess that UDF fs is the file system for the DVD. I more concern with the DVD formats for different DVD RW devices. Are the different formats DVD-R and DVD+R only presented in physical device, not on a file system? As long as the device is mounted to a file system such as UDF, there won't be any difference to read contents from the file system, is that correct? What DE do you use? GNOME, KDE, xfce??? That's what usually auto- recognizes inserted DVDs. I am using GNOME. Thank you. Jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thought the different between the DVD+R and DVD-R is the laser beam, if I can copy DVD-R It's a bit more complicated than that - dvd-r dvd+r are somewhat different methods to write to the disks, and the disks themselves are formulated a bit differently, if I understand the various links (1) that I've only just cursorily investigated. That being said, is your DVD drive capable of reading writing the -R and +R formats? Many modern dvd drives are able to do that. What about Iif applicable) a dvd-player that's attached to your stereo/entertainment system? It is capable of reading and writing +R format, and it can also read the -R or copy files from -R disk to the hardware disk, but the mplayer could not play with them, either from the -R disk or from the harddisk. That is exactly a question I would like to ask, how can a comercial dvd-player to play +R and -R formats? Or, does the DVD-player has a DVD device for both +R and -R? I guess what you refer to as driver I'd either want to interpret as the dvd media itself or the underlying drive hardware. I refere to mounted /media/disk or /dev/dvd link where I can access it's files. is it correct? Or any alternatives or tricks to watch video from DVD-R disk? Can the disk itself be read? That would seem to be the most important thing. And that may not have anything to do with the software you are using or the drive, but depend more on the quality of the media. Yes, the disk iteself can be read. See above. (1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-R but see the reference why DVD+R is superior to DVD-R there too Yah, have seen it. Thanks.

Jim What are you trying to do ? share your Dial up internet connection via the WIFI router ? or does the WIFI Router has its own connection to the internet ? It is the former. The laptop Ethernet connects to the wifi Internet port. If its the former, you will need to enable IP forwarding in your laptop's interface that connects to the wifi router. Right, that was missing on my laptop. Could you please explain more how to enable the IP formward on my laptop (an example of commands will be better). Also, If you plan to setup dhcp on this interface, then your dhcp options must be configured so that 1. dhcp clients gets an IP address in the same subnet as your interface laptop's ethernet. 2. the WIFI router must NOT be doing dhcp (2 dhcp servers are not necessary ) 3. the dhcp clients must get your laptop's ethernet IP as both gateway and nameserver. Alternatively you can use WIFI router's DHCP server but configure it so that : 1. Laptop ethernet, WIF Router and dhcp clients are all on the same ip network 2. Laptop ethernet has ip forwarding enabled 3. dhcp clients get laptop ethernet ip address as both gateway and nameserver. I'll use the wifi router's DHCP server. Goes withut saying that laptop must have a caching dns service such as dnsmasq for this to work. Right, please also explain more, or an example of commands. Thank you.

Right, please also explain more, or an example of commands. install dnsmasq. its a lightweight dns caching server. # aptitude install dnsmasq in its default config, it will take name servers as given in resolv.conf so it should just work 'out of the box' in your case. That should get things going. I did as per above, then did a reboot on my Debian laptop and ping from my desktop in wifi local network: # ping -c 2 www.google.com PING www.l.google.com (209.85.175.147): 56 data bytes --- www.l.google.com ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss It seems that the DNS works, but still could not get through the Internet via my laptop. The laptop does not formward packges to ppp0, something seems still missing in my loptop? If I plug an Ethernet port from an ADSL modem to the wifi router, that works. So, Iit seems to me that the wifi local network setting is fine, the problem of setting is still in the debian laptop.

You need iptables package to be installed (chances are its already installed). Several ways to enable it but easiest would be to add a line to the /etc/network/interfaces find the lines that configures eth1 and add this line at the bottom : up iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE then restart networking : # /etc/init.d/networking restart The iptables has already been installed. I added up iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE to the /etc/network/interfaces and restarted networking, it did not work. I then rebooted the laptop, it still did not work. Now, ping from the desktop on wifi local network got backward, please see following result: # ping -c 2 www.google.com ping: www.google.com: Host name lookup failure Thank you.

Jim You have no lines defining your ppp connection ? no matter, Remove the up iptables line from /etc/network/interfaces and after the ppp is up try running it from the command line to test if NAT is working. Yes, I run the ppp manually.

Yes, I added net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf I also tried ifconfig eth1 down and run eth1 by udhcpc, but failed. $ sudo /sbin/udhcpc -i eth1 udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started Sending discover...

wifi network connection
Hi, I am doing an experiment to set up a home wifi network. The setup is descripbed as follows: I have a laptop running Debian connected to the ISP via phone line (ppp), the laptop has also an ethernet port, I set it to 192.168.5.1 which connectes to a wifi router at Internet port. The wifi local LAN IP address to 192.168.2.1. The nameserver in laptop is assigned by ISP 139.134.2.190 and the default gw in laptop does not have an IP address, but the iface = ppp0. I have another desktop connect tot he wifi LAN via udhcpc, it gets the ip address 192.168.0.252 from DHCP server of wifi route. On the desktop, the nameserver in resolv.conf sets to 192.168.0.1 and default gw sets to 192.168.0.1. But, the desktop could not connect to the internet. Any help what I was missing? Thank you.

If you are trying to retrieve your own test mail from gmail that won't work due to a strange idea of gmail: there should only be one copy of an email. Because this is a sent mail they won't allow you to retrieve it, though it will show up in the inbox on the web. The same goes for postings to mailing lists. I post using the gmail account, but I receive using another mail address, because gmail would just discard my own postings received through the mailing list (though they are not 100% identical to the sent ones). That is good to learn. Thanks Andrei. Indeed, if I send a test mail fron other mail client, it can receive it. Thank you.

Asusming that above listed is your server's postconf output,
As root run :
Lets not use unknown variables here so :
# postconf -e smtpd_banner=$myhostname
Your forgot the square brackets for the relayhost. This is not a must but it
helps speed things up as square brackets stops postfix from doing MX lookups.
#postconf -e relayhost=[smtp.gmail.com]:587
AFAIK, no need to use CApaths for relaying with Gmail.
# postconf -e smtp_tls_CApath=
and reload Postfix.

The bizmail.com.au is wrong, it was my old ISP, but I could not find
where the parameters get it from?
Most likely this is in your main.cf
I only use one file mailname and I have changed mailname to
smtp.gmail.com:587, but still got port 25:
What is mailname ? are you referring to /etc/mailname ?
Your postfix configuration doesnt seem to be using any file called mailname so
changing that will not help you.
Dec 11 22:07:47 debian postfix/smtp[5598]: connect to
mailc.microsoft.com[131.107.115.214]: Network is unreachable (port 25)
Because you're not using a relayhost, Postfix is trying to send the mail
directly to the recipient's mailserver and since your ISP is blocking port 25,
Postfix cannot access it.
That's correct. I've only got three files contains specific mail
information in postfix:
1. mailname: smtp.gmail.com:587
Again, what is this file ? where is it located ?
2. canonical
yh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
root[EMAIL PROTECTED]
3. sasl_passwd
smtp.gmail.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]:mypassword
That was working fine to my previous ISP bizmail.com.au, or may be
because the postfix config set to:
masquerade_domains = bizmail.com.au
mydestination = mail.bizmail.com.au
I could not find postfix.conf, and where I can change those parameers?
/etc/postfix/main.cf is the place to change these parameters.
If your postfix version is 2.3 you can use the postconf -e command to edit
the
main.cf like this:
postconf -e parameter_name=value
Try the following (as root) :
# postconf -e relayhost=[smtp.gmail.com]:587
To remove the masquerades :
# postconf -e masquerade_domains=
Since you're not mail.bizmail.com.au, change mydestination to either your FQDN
and/or simply localhost.
# postconf -e mydestination=localhost
Now reload Postfix:
# postfix reload
That should get things moving.
Almost, but it has following error for certificates, it seems that was
a ssl proglem, but I don't know how to fix it:

Change your relay server parameters from smtp.gmail.com to
[smtp.gmail.com]:587
If you're using relay_server parameter in main.cf, modify it to look like
this :
relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:587
If you're using transport maps, change the map file to look like this :
gmail.com smtp:[smtp.gmail.com]:587

Dec 11 22:07:47 debian postfix/smtp[5598]: connect to

your sasl password map file should have the following format :
smtp.gmail.com username:password
That's correct. I've only got three files contains specific mail

1. mailname: smtp.gmail.com:587
2. canonical

I did installed by apt-get install tftp and apt-get install tftpd. Where are those scripts? Or did I installed wrong tftp packages? to start the service use either /etc/init.d/Service name start That is the same way in FC where service script can be start/stop/restart. But, I could not find tftp or tftpd scripts. or invoke-rc.d Service name start to check the status of a service, look at ps -e (grepping as appropriate) or check invoke-rc.d Service name status I've tried /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d tftpd status with following error: invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/tftpd not found.

Re: source code installation
Thanks Florian and Andrei. The installation of OpenOffice works indeed after installing the second CD. With aptitude you can do searches like this: aptitude search '~i(~sgames|~Ggame)' This will list all installed (~i) packages which belong to the games section (~sgames) or (|) which have the string game in one of their debtags (~Ggame). You can uninstall all these packages with one fell blow by replacing search with remove in the command above. If you want to have a bit more control over what is going on then you can use aptitude in interactive mode, look at Installed Packages games and decide yourself which ones you want to remove. I've also tried to run aptitude search '~i(~sgames|~Ggame)' and got following list: i A gnome-about - The GNOME about box i A gnome-applets - Various applets for GNOME 2 panel - binary i A gnome-games - games for the GNOME desktop i A gnome-games-data- data files for the GNOME games i A wodim - command line CD/DVD writing tool i A xbase-clients - miscellaneous X clients I guess the next command I should run to remove all games are following. Are they correct? aptitude purge $(gnome-about) aptitude purge $(gnome-applets) aptitude purge $(gnome-games) aptitude purge $(gnome-games-data) aptitude purge $(wodim) aptitude purge $(xbase-clients) Thank you.

Re: change partitions
Douglas A. Tutty wrote: The 'partitions' are only numbers in a table that OS's refer to to see what block starts the next partition and where it ends. I'm assuming that your problem with the partition is actually with the filesystem on that partition. With it unmounted, run e2fsck -cc on it. The -cc means that a non-distructive read/write badblocks test will run on it. With modern drives you should not actually find any bad blocks unless the drive is at end-of-life and has used up its remapping space. However, if it completes fine you'll know that writing beyond the 70% range worked for the drive. Which partition has the problem? hda8 (12 G), it does not have any OS installed to it. It is an independent partition with /work on it. Also, I have only one window OS, but I don't k now why both hda1 and hda2 are for window partitions, can I delete both of them? I haven't run an MS product since windows 3.1 so I don't know. But since you don't need windows and you know that neither partition is needed, you should be able to remove them. This may end up changing the numbering of the extended partition from hda3 to either 1 or 2. However, the partitions in it should still start at hda5. Please see following partition information and the debian boot is in Master section. sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 32.0 GB, 32003112960 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3890 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 255 20482567 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 2561275 8193150b W95 FAT32 /dev/hda31276389021004987+ 5 Extended /dev/hda512761504 1839411 83 Linux /dev/hda622962298 24066 83 Linux /dev/hda722992364 530113+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda82365389012257563+ 83 Linux /dev/hda9 *15051863 2883636 83 Linux /dev/hda10 18642295 3470008+ 83 Linux Since hda3 goes from cylinder 1276 to 3890 yet hda10 ends at 2295, there should also be some free space at the end. Good luck, Doug. How can I use fdisk or other partition tools to display free space? What command should I call to remove window partition and to re-partition to ext3? Are following correct? fdisk -s /dev/hda1 ? fdisk -s /dev/hda2 ? Thank you. Jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you already have more than the first CD then you could add it with apt-cdrom (see 'man apt-cdrom' for more details). Otherwise, if your internet connection is working under Debian, you should uncomment (remove the # in front of) the line starting with 'deb' and also add something like: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib Replace 'us' with your country code if necessary or check the mirror list for a mirror close to you (http://www.debian.org/mirror/list) After that run 'apt-get update' and try installing openoffice again. I don't have a network connection, a win modem is the only one I have and I am currently working to try compile the win modem source code. I'll have to install kernel header files to do it. But first, I have to learn how to install packages in Debian. P.S. Is there a reason for using apt-get? aptitude is the recommended frontend and also has a nice text interface if you start it without options. I am new to Debian :-), just follow instructions from people who helped me through the package installation. If you could give me aptitude commands for package installation, I'll try it. Thank you.

change partitions
Hi, I installed Debian on a machine with several other pations (window, RH9.1, etc). During the installation, it indicated one of my linux partition had some problems (it is formated by ext3, but can only write to the disk with used space only higher than 70%). Now I am going to fix that partition before I am going to mount it to Debian. Also, I am no longer need to use MS window and I am going to remove all window partitions. I know it is risk operation and I need to take advice here before I delete or alter the partitions. Should I use fdisk to remove the window partition or if there is a better partition tool I can use in Debian? Can I remove the window partition from Linux? Is there a partition tool in Debian which can detect the ext3 partition problem and to fix it without re-format or re-partition? Also, I have only one window OS, but I don't k now why both hda1 and hda2 are for window partitions, can I delete both of them?
