​I am going to suggest to the asus support folks that I might have
misconnected the cpu fan up to the motherboard.

I already told them that I wasn't sure if I was using a 3 pin instead of a
4 pin lead which might be a limitation here.

The Windows software diagnostics might also give clues to an erroneous mobo
hook up here.

I need to use all the divining rods available on this.

​Wait a minute here...

When I said I build the PC, what I mean is I screwed the motherboard into
the PC and then connected up the 3 case fans to it.

The CPU cooler and FAN were actually attached to the motherboard by the
company I bought the entire motherboard bundle from (ie I purchased the
board, 8GB RAM preinstalled plus the Arctic Freezer
cooler thermal pasted (and baisted - its Christmas remember!) the firm here
in the UK offering it as a job lot.

I can't quite remember if the cpu cooler lead was already attached to the
motherboard at that point - I might have done that bit myself (and maybe
bungled it - you could be on the money here).

So some thought and imagination could be required here.​

​This is an interesting idea.  I built the PC myself.  Maybe I connected up
the CPU fan lead incorrectly..

The motherboard is an ASUS FX 990 Sabertooth R2.0; the bios version is 2501.

Here is some of the info sent to the ASUS support folks:

[Product Information]
Product Type : Motherboard

​I will login to the machine, fire up debian and run

lsmod | grep temp

and

lsmod | grep fam 15

and get you the output.

I think fam15 module is installed - check the lsmod output I already posted.

Please let me know any other commands/diagnostics you want running here.

I'm just wondering if you used the correct switch for the cpu fan - what is
your mother board?

also from the gentoo link

$ grep CONFIG_SENSORS_FAM15H_POWER /boot/config-4.12.10
CONFIG_SENSORS_FAM15H_POWER=m
grep CONFIG_SENSORS_K10TEMP /boot/config-4.12.10
CONFIG_SENSORS_K10TEMP=m

$ lsmod | grep temp
k10temp16384  0
$ lsmod | grep fam15
fam15h_power   16384  0

does this apply to your kernel?

​Dear All,

It's sad but I think I need install Windows 10 on this machine to sort out
the fan control and cpu cooler problems.

This machine overheats when I run pov-ray benchmark on it and shuts down.

see here (first page only)

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1056576-start-0.html


Then I can install the ASUS Fan Xpert and ROG software etc on top of the FX
990 sabertooth motherboard I have...

I think I might need to change the thermal paste compound between the CPU
and Arctic Freezer 13 heatsink to cure the cooling problem.

I am going to use Artic MX-4 paste.

While Debian and Gentoo are OK to work with here, I cannot tolerate the
machine shutting down now and again due to overheating any longer.

I am corresponding with the ASUS technical folks at present.

I need the extra special bloodhound Passau Cathedral Organ factor here to
help check on the temps and the fan activity once I start doing
surgery on the cpu/fan-heatsink thermal interface...

CPUs cost money.

Thanks for the help to date.

Regards

MF

​If you look here:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/748615/lm-sensors-not-returning-cpu-temp-it87

it says that You need to append acpi_enforce_resources=lax at the end of
> the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX

AFAICT

BUT

If you look at my /etc/default/grub:

root@bong:/etc/default# more grub
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="initrd=/install/initrd.gz"

# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains

#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"

entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"



# Uncomment to get a beep at grub
start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440
1"
root@bong:/etc/default#


​I don't have any acpi command in there but lsmod does list it87 as a
module for my install:

​root@bong:/etc/default# lsmod | grep it87
it87   57344
0
hwmon_vid  16384  1 it87


Does it need to have a 1 not a zero in there for the it87 to actually be
working even if it is installed?

Cheers

​I now realise that coretemp only works with Intel chips not AMD ones

Ooops!

I will look up module names that work for the FX 8350 and see of I can find
any that are not listed in lsmod and try installing them
with modprobe.

​Perhaps you could suggest some other module names I could try to turn on
using
the modprobe command that I do not have turned on at present based on the
lsmod output.

​Maybe one or to might work.

Your "No such device" error sounds like it probed for hardware and didn't
find any.  If the module itself were missing from the file system, then
I would have expected "FATAL: Module coretemp not found in directory ...".

It says "Intel" in the description.  Are you using an Intel CPU?

I have 3 case fans in the box here but lm-sensors only sees two of them
apparently as well as not seeing the cpu fan.

Funny stuff.

lm-sensors doesn't see the cpu rpm.....

2017-12-28 Thread Michael Fothergill
Dear Folks,

I am running stretch on an AMD FX8350 box which uses an Arctic Freezer 13
cooler.

I installed lm-sensors and ran the /etc module update command.

The output looks like this:

root@bong:/home/mikef#

The cpu fan is running at around 2500 rpm.

If the connector were 3 pin rather than 4 pin could that explain the zero
here?

Suggestions on a tweak that could awaken the sensor or stimulate lm-sensors
truffle hound hunting skills here would be appreciated.

Googling around gives quite complex suggestions.

Is there something simple I could try here?

extracted-rpm bin files and gcc executables on GNUroot debian on Android phone/device

2017-05-13 Thread Rupinder Singh
Hi,
I'm using GNUroot Debian bash on my Anroid phone. While I have been to
install many packages like java, python, ruby, node.js, scala, groovy via
apt-get install  and use them to write and run programs, I'm finding
difficulty with extracted rpm files and gcc executables. That is, they come
with execute permission denied. Trying to change their permissions chmod
simply doesn't change their permissions.

Could somebody help?

Press Alt + F2 and type

xterm

then enter, in this so called terminal continue with

su

enter, or if su shopuldn't work

sudo -i

continue with

apt-get update

apt-get install synaptic
synaptic

Synaptic is a program that does allow you to search for software and 
to install software. Debnian doesn't use RPM, but DEB packages. 
tar.gz files usually contain source code, there are different ways to 
build and install something from source, one way that often does work 
for DEB and RPM based distros is this way:


tar xzvf name_of_the_tar_gz.tar.gz
cd name_of_the_tar_gz
./configure
make
checkinstall
su
or if su shouldn't work
sudo -i

dpkg -i *.deb

but you need to take care to full the dependencies, so for a beginner 
this could be hard to do. 


JFTR dpkg -i does only work for DEB, for RPM you have to use another 
command. At leasst checkinstall has to be installed by synaptic, before 
it's available. ./configure and make aren't always the steps to compile.

As a new-to-Linux person, you are looking to do what most folks who 
have been using Linux for years would not attempt. I have been around

Linux for a number of years, and I have on occasion tried the "cross-
install" routine, and had no luck with it. I won't tell you it can't be done,
but I would strongly recommend you to find a distro that has the
programs you want to use, or find a program in Debian that will do 
*almost* what you want to do, and put up with it. 
However: a program called alien (I don't know if that is available on Debian,

or that's something else you have to go round the corner to
get) is supposed to make RPMs available to deb systems, and vice versa. 
Here's an URL that says it worked for him:

http://www.everyjoe.com/2005/11/02/technology/howto-install-an-rpm-package-on-a-debian-box/
(Found by Google.) What's likely to happen is that there will be 
dependencies (libraries, usually) that are not found on Debian. Then, 
if you're

really determined, you can go look for them and install them, perhaps
also with alien. You can see what a can of worms you are opening up!

BTW: The Linux version of FlashPlayer is not going to be updated by Adobe,
but some distros still seem to have it available--PCLinuxOs, I 
believe is one. I think most distros will have Java. Obviously RedHat 
has these

programs you are looking for--why not download a live DVD and try it out?

Here's an URL that says it worked for him:
http://www.everyjoe.com/2005/11/02/technology/howto-install-an-rpm-package-on-a-debian-box/
(Found by Google.) What's likely to happen is that there will be dependencies 
(libraries, usually) that are not found on Debian. Then, if you're
really determined, you can go look for them and install them, perhaps
also with alien. You can see what a can of worms you are opening up!

BTW: The Linux version of FlashPlayer is not going to be updated by Adobe,
but some distros still seem to have it available--PCLinuxOs, I believe is 
one. I think most distros will have Java. Obviously RedHat has these
programs you are looking for--why not download a live DVD and try it out?

Whatever you decide, good luck!

Feel free to install rpm and to use it to build rpm packages.  Having
rpm installed on your system for building rpm packages will in no way
affect your use of dpkg and Debian for your system.  It is only the
installation using rpm that is problematic.  (I have tried 'alien' and
found it clever but still lacking.  It is trying to do an impossible
task so I don't blame it.  But I don't recommend it.)

For casual use what you are suggesting should work fine.  You haven't
said how serious you need to be for doing this development.  But if
you are researching build dependencies for example then there will be
differences between dpkg systems and rpm systems.

For more serious use where you are trying to replicate an environment
then I suggest setting up a chroot.  Setting up a Debian chroot is
very easy. http://wiki.debian.org/chroot documents much of it using
debootstrap.  But bootstrapping a rpm system is more difficult.

Setting up a chroot for a foreign system (RHEL, SuSE, others) depends
upon how easy it is to set up the foreign system.  The Linux kernel
will be shared with Debian but then the userland will be only that
target system.  Within limits of Linux compatibility that works well
for Debian hosting the system.

For RHEL/CentOS, SuSE, others I tend to install a system on some
random machine and then simply make a copy of the entire system over
to a /srv/chroot/rhel-5-chroot/ directory.  Then chroot into it and
use it to do software development on a foreign system but within the
Debian machine.

Have you tried the "alien" package?  This converts rpms to debs, thereby 
not confusing the packaging system.

I'm doing some software development that uses RPM packages.  I would like
to have RPM installed on my debian system for trivial and development only
usage.  In other words, I don't really plan to manage my system with it at
all; i just want to use it for my dev purposes.

My question is whether this is a problem.  Will it somehow corrupt my deb
system to simply install RPM and use it to play with the odd rpm package?

Since you have good suggestions on rebuilding the deb I would do
that.  But as for building 32-bit rpms on 64-bit debian I would use a
32-bit chroot.  Here is the boiled down instructions.

  # mkdir -p /srv/chroot
  # cd /srv/chroot
  # debootstrap --arch i386 wheezy wheezy-rpm http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian
  # chroot /srv/chroot/wheezy-rpm su -
  # cat > ./usr/sbin/policy-rc.d <<-EOF
#!/bin/sh
exit 101
EOF
  # chmod a+x ./usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
  # apt-get update
  # apt-get install build-essential
  # apt-get install rpm

With that you will be sitting in a 32-bit chroot with rpm installed
and a basic build environment.  Install what you need for your
purposes.  You should be able to build your 32-bit rpm there.  I would
set up my own user uid:gid in the chroot and then be non-root me to
build the rpm.

  $ sudo chroot /srv/chroot/wheezy-rpm su - rwp

More details are available here:

Since Hugo gave explanations that I think should work (I would

package...) I will simply give you some hint about what to search for 
the conversion of a rmp package into a deb one:


#aptitude install alien
$man alien

These are my notes from 3 years ago when that happened to me:

HOWTO eliminate the duplicate Architecture field:
Create a package directory (say /mc_4.6.2-2)
then: dpkg-deb -x mc_4.6.2~git20080311-4_i386.deb /mc_4.6.2-2
then: dpkg-deb -e mc_4.6.2~git20080311-4_i386.deb /mc_4.6.2-2
Move the files from the latter into a dir named ‘DEBIAN’
Edit the control file in DEBIAN and delete the second Architecture field.
then: dpkg-deb -b /mc_4.6.2-2
This will create mc_4.6.2-2.deb
dpkg -i mc_4.6.2-2.deb

I doubt that you would find anyone here who would disagree with you!  But 
failure is a nuisance even when it is not a disaster.  It is worth something 
to me to lessen the chance of failure, and I have had experience myself of 
how good the WD guarantees are.  But price is sometimes fixed at the point 
that marketing think the market will bear or even like, so is not a reliable 
guide to whether you get more bang for your buck.

I had a WD Blue laptop drive that was running fine but was too small. I
replaced with a larger WD Caviar Black. The drive failed within a week. I
RMA'd it to WD, got a new drive in another week, and it's been smooth
sailing since then -- no problems with the 320 GB WD Caviar Black.

Like everybody who's used a lot of computers, I've had some drives go bad,
others seemingly last forever. There's no substitute for good, frequent and
multiple backups.

I have 5 Caviar black drives though not the one mentioned here. One of them 
failed earlier this year. One partition wouldn't mount due to some some bad 
blocks according to fsck. Fortunately it wasn't a critical one.  It cost me $5

+1, 
all drives fail, having a longer warranty period usually means a better quality 
drive, but in real life, it just means that the vendor provides new drives for 
a 
while longer, if needed.

I go by warranty period and try to Divine, somehow, the vendors service record.

Thanks, Francis - but David had understood what I meant and answered exactly 
the question that I was asking, so his reply was, from my point of view, 
perfect.  I accept that to give the perfect answer he had probably had to use 
divination, but he had done so to great effect.

According to the product pages for WD Black or Blue drives, they are
suitable for RAID 0/1
on consumer desktop only.  WD recommends their Enterprise line of
drives (e.g. RE4)
for servers running RAID.  Look at their site for more information.
When you reach
the page for a drive, click on the lower banner "More Features".
Only then do you see
about RAID suitability and TLER issues with the particular drive.

It doesn't have to make any difference.

I have external enclosures of both types, branded and "with no labels" 
and had no problems with any of them.

As you did not provide any item from we can choose to, I can tell you 
what fetaures I look for when buying these cases:

1/ Fanless aluminium based (I hate noise but disk needs to be cooled if 
it's going to be most of the time "on").

2/ Nowadays I will look for a USB 3.0 enclosure with additional ports 
(such as firewire or eSATA, depending on what are your computer's extra 
connections, if any).

3/ Read *a lot* before buying to see if the case will work under linux. It 
does not have to have any problems, but ensure the chipset is supported 
by the kernel and uses open specs.

A good start point for digging is NewEgg:

http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=92&name=External-Enclosures

Although they're USA based, I find it very useful due to the large amount
of products it has and user's feedback.

(there are also Amazon or another places where you can gather this data)
 
4/ A good design also helps in my decision but what you consider nice 
can differ from my point of view (and viceversa). I like cases with not 
many colors, sober, with small and not so bright leds to avoid 
disturbing me, a dedicated power switch button and addons like to be able 
to put the unit horizontally or vertically, small power supply...).

5/ Case size... 3.5" are okay if you have space limitations but 5.25" 
cases will provide more room for a better cable management.

Thanks, Camaleón. :-)  That answers my question - I hadn't picked that info 
up.  So yes, to me that makes it worth it.  

But to answer some of the other specific questions:

I don't expect speed to matter.  My computers are all slow, so why worry about 
the speed of an external HDD?  Reliability matters more.

I am not at the moment intending to use it for a Raid array.  But if I can 
expect it to last 5 years, its use may well change over time.  My drives 
periodically play musical chairs.

So the next question is:  I am taking your advice Camaleon.  So which external 
caddy  or make of external caddy would people recommend for a WD1002FAEX?  Or 
doesn't it really make much difference?

Of all the options from WD, I would definitely go with the Black ones -- 
they have longer warranty and are a much "safer" bet.  But as with all 
HDDs, they will fail one day  you are much more likely to get longer 
service from a WD BLACK though.


Here's a fair summary page:

Davide, you beat me to it - I was going to make roughly the same comment :-)

Though, it's not necessarily a matter of picking another brand.  Some of 
the WD drives are fine - it's more a matter of picking "enterprise" 
drives for use in RAID arrays.  I learned all this the hard way, a few 
years back, when my nicely tuned, high-availability RAID1 array turned 
to sludge -- turns out my vendor had shipped with drives with TLER 
turned on.  Needless to say, all replacement drives since have been very 
carefully selected.  Having pretty good luck with WD drives, just have 
to be the right ones.  (The other lesson, of course, is... if you bought 
all the drives in a RAID array at the same time, replace them all as 
quickly as possible, after the first one goes south.)

Attitude has nothing to do with performance nor adequacy. 

There are drives that are focused to be run to store data (slow rotation 
→ long life, power-saving capabilites...) while others are to be run over 
systems that "needs for speed", reliability and/or maximum performance.

Back to your question: is it worth the black edition for non specific 
purpose and generally speaking? 

Okay, what are both prizes (blue and black) and what's the exact blue 
model? But I bet yes, black edition features a 5-year guarantee and only 
for that I would add extra pennies to the buy.

It's not the same if you are going to use it just for backups than for

Smart package manager¹ was developed having that in mind, but I think 
there is no direct (and clean) way to install rpm on deb systems (and 
viceversa), so, why not follow the "alien" path being the recommended 
one? :-?

¹ Does Smart's wide support for packaging systems mean I can install .rpm

Re: apt-get for deb and rpm

2010-03-14 Thread Marcio H. Parreiras
Hi,

AFAIK, it's not possible to mix these different packaging systems in a
single list of sources. You can use the "alien" package to convert between
DEB and RPM formats, among others. PCLinuxOS have this utility, but you will
have to deal hard with dependences and, overall, it's not recommended
install packages of so different distros, mostly cases you may break your
whole system. So, IMHO, if you need a more complete distro, move to Debian,
Mint, Ubuntu or any other Debian Pure Blend.

will make a binary deb package.

OK, let's try again.  I did find this package

   http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/xen-hypervisor-3.4-amd64

But this is the hypervisor only, not the dom0 kernel that
needs to go with it.  I also found this thread on
the debian-devel mailing list archive for January of 2010:

   http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/01/msg00033.html

Keep following the thread with the "Thread Next" link.
It may provide some useful information.

Interesting, I didn't realize Xensource felt so particular about the Xen name. 
I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise.

Boyd you really hit the nail on the head with regards to using Debian as a XEN 
Dom0 server.

Using the later Debian backport kernels will assist with drivers and modules 
but does not solve my problem with running a XEN Dom0. Thank you for the 
suggestion, and might I suggest that you add a walkthrough on your website for 
Debian users looking to use the stable Debian universal operating system with 
newer hardware.

Agreed I never took into consideration that the package was binary rather than 
source. That said I was hoping to create a deb binary that will contain the 
binary
files (linux-image - /boot & /lib/modules) from the rpm and install them 
correctly.

I guess I'm getting old and can't see.  I just rechecked that page
and there's nothing in it about xen.  ?!
Maybe I need to get my eyes checked.
Sorry for the false lead.

The list of files contained in this package

   http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/all/linux-patch-debian-2.6.32/filelist

does contain one hit on the character string "xen", which is

   
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.32/debian/features/all/module-firmware/0001-netxen-module-firmware-hints.patch.bz2

but that doesn't appear to be what we're looking for.

My apologies once again.

I'll be the first to admit that I know nothing about xen (isn't that a
particular sect of Buddhism?  :-) ) but it looks to me like the xen
kernel patches have been mainstreamed since 2.6.26.  See, for example,

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/linux-patch-debian-2.6.32

According to this web page, the xen patches are already included
in the Debian kernel source tree for 2.6.32.

A few logistical items first:

1. Please don't "top post" but rather use the usenet ("bottom post") style of
quoting.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-posting#Top-posting for
more information.

2. Please try to keep your source lines to under 80 columns.

For further mailing list policy rules see http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/.

OK, there are two main issues here.  First, why am I trying to discourage you
from using alien (or some other similar tool) to import a foreign package
into Debian?  For that I refer you to the Debian FAQ:

http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-compat.en.html#s-otherpackages

The second issue.  If you need a newer kernel than the 2.6.26 kernel used
by the stable release (Lenny), there are a couple of options.

If you are satisfied with the stable system except for the kernel, and want
a newer kernel, I suggest you try a newer kernel from
http://www.backports.org
Currently, there are 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 kernels available in backports.

If you want all the packages on your system at a newer level, you might
consider the testing (Squeeze) system.  It currently has 2.6.30 and
2.6.32 kernels.  But all the packages, not just the kernel, are newer.
We don't recommend this release for production use, but if you must
use hardware that is not supported by the stable release, sometimes this
is your only option.

If you want to live really dangerously, and run the latest bleeding edge
code, you might try the unstable (Sid) release.  Be prepared for things
to break.

Debian has always been a "trailing edge" distribution as far as its stable
release is concerned.  We are more oriented towards stability and
reliability than we are with including the latest new thing as soon
as possible.  If you want to run Debian and you want the latest new
thing, you're going to need to go with the testing or even unstable,
in some cases.  But beware.  testing and unstable are called that for
a reason.

I do.  The files available from kernel.org are source, not binary.  They are
vanilla.  Properly configured and built, a kernel.org kernel will work with any
distro atop.  The SuSE kernel you want is a binary, built specifically for the
SuSE distribution.  If it's anything like the SLES/SLED kernels, it includes
every Linux module, the kitchen sink, and the entire kitchen as well.

XFS is better than ext4, esp for virtualization.  e1000 and RAID/SATA support
are menuconfig check boxes, as are all the features you want.

You are a prime candidate for building your own kernel, based on requirements.
But, maybe you aren't technically up to the task?

I'm currently running kernel.org 2.6.31.1 (i686), Lenny on top, with

SMP
EXT2/3
XFS
megaraid
libata, sata_sil
PIIX_IDE
e100
netfilter
etc

not as modules, all built into the kernel, no initrd, and it's small and fast:

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1.5M Jan 15 04:06 vmlinuz-2.6.31.1

Maybe it's too easy for me to say "build your own kernel, it's easy."  I've been
doing my own kernels since around 2002, so I've had some practice.  And I did
make mistakes along the way.  Good learning experiences, all.

RE: Looking for: A quick how to make a deb from a (kernel) rpm

2010-02-08 Thread Mike Viau

Very fair question.

I need the xen patches that are incorperated in the kernel. 

(ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/master/x86_64/kernel-xen.rpm)

I also happen to know the kernel is more recent then my 2.6.26-2-amd64 kernel 
in Debian Lenny.

I am aware that I will be giving up the Debian specific patches applied to the 
kernel. I quess I just hope to not run into issue there. If the kernel.org 
kernels can work with Debian I don't see a reason why the SUSE kernel can not 
work with a Debian system either.

I would like the ability to use the ext4 filesystem as well as better hardware 
support/modules for the e1000e network driver and lastly for better SATA/RAID 
support.

As you have discovered, there is an "alien" package for dealing with rpm
packages, but it is MUCH MUCH better to install a native Debian package,
ESPECIALLY if it is a kernel.  What specific real-world problem are you
trying to solve?  Why is a Debian stock kernel not adequate?  Is there some
kernel option that is enabled in the Redhat kernel that is not enabled
in the Debian kernel?  Is the Redhat kernel based on a release of the Linux
kernel that is not available in Debian?

If you need to build a custom kernel in Debian, I would recommend

   http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/Kernel.htm

That happens to be my own web page and I am in the process of updating
it even as I write this e-mail, but my changes haven't been moved into
production yet.

I guess the basic question to be answered, though, is why you think
you need this specific kernel from a Redhat system installed on a Debian
system.

kernel - 
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/master/x86_64/kernel-xen.rpm) over

Unfortunately my internet searches are resulting in very old means to

I have tried "alien -t myrpmfile.rpm" and "rpm2cpio myrpmfile.rpm | cpio -idmv" 
with no success.

Therefore I was hoping someone could devise a quick how to for making recent 
rpm based kernels into a debian binary.

If it's a PostScript based printer, you can just extract the 
corresponding PPD file ("Xerox_Phaser_6280DN.ppd" in your case) and 
install it with Cups. No need to install the rpm package at all.

can't install laser driver supplied as rpm

2009-12-21 Thread Steve Kleene
I'm running Lenny and trying to install the manufacturer's Linux driver for a
Xerox Phaser 6280DN color laser printer.  The driver is supplied as a tar,
which unpacks to a single rpm file:

  Xerox-Phaser-6280-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

I ran

  alien --to-deb --scripts Xerox-Phaser-6280-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

which completed without error, making

  xerox-phaser-6280_1.0-2_all.deb

However, when I try to install this

  apt-get -V install xerox-phaser-6280_1.0-2_all.deb

it fails as follows

  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading state information... Done
  E: Couldn't find package xerox-phaser-6280_1.0-2_all.deb

The package is right in the working directory, and I copied and pasted the
file name to make sure there were no typos.

It appears that installing the rpm may fail too.  I tried

  rpm --test -ivh Xerox-Phaser-6280-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

and got

  error: Failed dependencies:
  /bin/sh is needed by Xerox-Phaser-6280-1.0-1.noarch

I of course do have /bin/sh, which is linked to bash.

I am able to list the contents of the rpm

  rpm -qlp Xerox-Phaser-6280-1.0-1.noarch.rpm ->
/usr/share/cups/model/Xerox/Xerox_Phaser_6280DN.ppd.gz
/usr/share/cups/model/Xerox/Xerox_Phaser_6280DT.ppd.gz
/usr/share/cups/model/Xerox/Xerox_Phaser_6280N.ppd.gz

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to install this driver.  Thanks.

Re: nvidia installer freezes on lenny x86 [solved: rpm]

2008-08-07 Thread Chris Hiestand


Solution:

The process list gave it away.  I guess the installer detected a rpm  
binary and assumed that I was in a rpm based environment? I don't  
actually use 'rpm' on this system so I apt-get removed it. After  
this, the nvidia installer works fine.


On second thought this isn't a solution, but rather a workaround. If  
anybody figures out what might be wrong here, and knows how I might  
install the nvidia drivers without removing the 'rpm' package I'd  
appreciate it.

nvidia installer freezes on lenny x86 [solved: rpm]

2008-08-07 Thread Chris Hiestand
Before I could finish composing a request for help, I solved my own  
problem. I thought I'd finish the email in case anybody else runs into  
the same issue.


Problem:

When I run various (new or old) versions of the nvidia installer  
(provided by nvidia), it freezes right after I 'agree' on the license  
agreement screen. Hopefully the screenshot gets sent to this list  
properly?  Before upgrading from etch to lenny, the nvidia driver  
installed fine (with a legacy driver for the NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 1000  
(NV30GL) chipset).

#2 of the DSFG:

Source Code

The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source
code as well as compiled form.


That's why on any Debian repository if you append -src to the deb
portion of your apt sources file you'll get the SouRCe code.

eg:
# See sources.list(5) for more information, especially
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
# CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

# Uncomment if you want the apt-get source function to work
#deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

You can do that in Debian as well.  That doesn't mean it's a good idea

Count source packages. That gets away from distro specific

That's hard to say.  Debian probably has the most packages, but Debian
packages are also more "fine grained" than many: Debian packages seperately

Debian, by a long shot.  26,000 packages.  Next closest competitor
(Ubuntu) has 23,000.  Most (all?) of the RPM-based distributions are
below 10,000.

Try comparing the read/write speeds of the drive with those of a known

That blurb and the warnings that follow are intended to cause people to
use an appropriate level of caution when using alien, not to make them
throw caution to the winds and go mucking around manually with rpm2cpio

The difference is that to do it by hand, you must be an expert on RPM
and DEB formats.  OTOH, if you are an expert on the DEB format, you can
alien an RPM to DEB format, upack the DEB and verify everything is correct.

I know.

Yes it does. If I did it by hand, I know that the right thing got put in 
the right place. Either that or I screwed up.




Alien is also not anywhere near experimental, having been used by many
people for ten years.



From the alien man-page (on Sarge):


WARNING
   Despite the high version number, alien is still (and will probably
   always be) rather experimental software. It's been under development
   for many years now, but there are still many bugs and limitations.
