 It looks as if there is no /sbin/update-grub on your system.
 If so, you might want to reinstall grub.
 
 I remember that since a while there was messages saying to
 change /sbin/update-grub to /usr/sbin/update-grub when upgrading

 Perhaps now, it's not anymore in compatible mode.
 
 Search in /etc/initramfs-tools if you have a reference to
 /sbin/update-grub, and change it to /usr/sbin/grub.

The messages that you remember recommended to edit /etc/kernel-img.conf
and to change /sbin/update-grub to update-grub.

No, 2.6.11 is not in the archive anymore. In fact, even Etch, the

I have not tested this for the root partition, but if you use initramfs

should be able to access /dev/disk/by-uuid/UUID

Well, that's probably already the first mistake. If you do something

Make sure you have root permissions (and enough free space in /var to
download the new packages). And maybe wait with using Testing until you
have some more experience with the package management, because you
surely will run into changes dependency problems more often than with
Testing that with Stable. And, of course, don't forget to install

 So finally my questions:
 
 How can I salvage my system?
 Will replacing stable with sarge in the sources.list and do a

 solve my problems?

Probably not, if you already have packages from Etch installed. In that
case you would have to downgrade them, but downgrading is tricky and
not officially supported. I recommend you upgrade to Etch instead.
Don't forget to take a look at the Etch release notes first!

Re: Many LUKS partitions

2007-04-30 Thread Andreas Janssen
Salvatore Iovene ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote:

 I have more than one encrypted partition (using dm-crypt), and so, at
 boot time, I'm propted for all of their passphrases.
 
 Is there a way to set a sort of master passphrase so that I'll only
 input it once?

Yes and no. What you can do:

- Create one big partition, and encrypt it. Build an LVM on that
partition and divide it as you want. That way you will only need one
password, which unlocks the big partition that holds the LVM.

- Store keyfiles on the first encrypted partition. Enter the password
for that partition, tell cryptsetup that this partition needs to be
mounted for the other ones to be accessed.

 Another question: is there a way to use a USB pendrive to store the
 information needed to LUKS to decrypt the partitions? (so that I
 wouldn't have to fill in any password, just plug the USB pendrive)

Yes, there is. For any partition *except* the root partition, you need
to make the following changes:

- add the key to the luks-Partitions using cryptsetup luksAddKey
- make an entry for your stick in your fstab, e.g. /media/key
- copy the keyfile to the stick, e.g. to /media/key/keyfile
- change your crypttab to use the keyfile, e.g.
usr-crypt   /dev/hda7   /media/key/keyfile  luks
- change CRYPTDISKS_MOUNT in /etc/defaults/cryptsetup to include your
USB stick, e.g. CRYPTDISKS_MOUNT=/media/key
- rebuild your initrd using update-initramfs -u

As far as I know using a key on an USB stick for your root partition is
a little more complicated. I needed to make the following extra
changes:

- change /etc/initramfs-tools/modules to make sure initramfs includes
the necessary modules for the fat file system and codepages (not needed
if you use ext2 as the file system on your stick, usb mass storage and
scsi disk support were included by default)

I hat to add the following lines:

nls_cp437
nls_iso8859_1
vfat

- write a keyscript that takes care of mounting the stick, gets the key
file, writes it to stdout and unmounts the stick. The script I use is
this one:

#!/bin/sh
modprobe usb-storage#load usb mass storage driver
sleep 5 #wait for recognized devices to settle
mkdir /keydev 12
mount -t vfat -o ro,umask=077 /dev/sda1 /keydev 12
cat /keydev/key
umount /keydev 12

Note that all normal output is redirected to stderr so it doesn't get
mixed up with the key file.

- save the keyscript to /sbin and change the crypttab entry for my root
partition:

root_crypt  /dev/hda6   noneluks,keyscript=/sbin/keyscript

Note that using /sbin is not required, you can save the keyscript
anywhere you like and adapt your crypttap accordingly.

- rebuild the initrd using update-initramfs -u. It will include your
keyscript automatically, no need to copy anything on your own.

That's it. Another thing you should keep in mind when changing crypto
settings for your root partition: when you do something wrong and
rebuild the initrd, after rebooting you won't be able to mount the root
partition anymore, except with the help of some external Linux system,
e.g. from a live CD like grml or knoppix. Keep a backup of your initrd
with the settings still using passwords and add an entry for it to your
boot loader configuration - that way as long as you are not sure that
everything works you can still boot into your system using your
passwords. Took me more that an hour of rebooting grml, cryptsetupping,
mounting, chrooting my root fs and rebuilding initrds until I had the
idea to do it another way.

 Hi, thanks a lot, that worked very well. Just a note: the entry for
 the usb stick in fstab has to have the following options:
 uid=0,gid=0,umask=277.
 
 By the way, could you explain to me why the update-initramfs -u is
 needed? Thanks.

The initial ram disk is mounted first and supplies a minimal system that
is sufficient to load drivers, initialize LVM/raid/crypto devices in
order to mount your root partition. If you encrypt your root partition,
you need to update the ram disk so a new initrd is created that can set
up your encrypted root partition properly, otherwise you wouldn't be
able to mount it. You can also have it set up other encrypted
partitions, although this is not absolutely necessary.

No. It means you need to install the matching headers for your running
kernel to build the modules. If you use a precompiled Debian package,
running module-assistant prepare will install them.

The name of course depends on the driver. If you use an atheros based
card, it is madwifi-source. If you use a ralink based card, the name is
rt2x00-source (new driver), or rt2400-source/rt2500-source/rt2570-source

 Hopefully someone can help here...
 
 I'm on an R50e Thinkpad with Sarge installed.
 
 I ran an upgrade (note: upgrade not dist-upgrade). Something strange
 happened.
 The file /etc/debian-release states 4.0 now.
 
 In my /etc/apt/apt.conf I had the following entry:
 APT::Default-Release sarge;

As far as I know you cannot pin to codenames. Run

apt-cache policy libc6

If your setting works, the version from sarge has a priority of 990. If
it is 500, your setting was ignored because it is invalid, and you
partially upgraded to etch. In that case, read the Etch release notes
to complete your upgrade, or reinstall Sarge.

 [...]
 The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 xlibmesa-glu: Depends: xfree86-common but it is not installable
 Conflicts: libglu1 which is a virtual package.
 libglu1-mesa: Conflicts: libglu1 which is a virtual package.

The Etch release notes have some info on this problem.

 on slow machines the error message(s) The process for the ...

According to that thread it is a problem with the kdesktop program.

 Easy question: has anyone been able to get any currently available
 wifi USB or PCMCIA adapter to work with a 2004 Toshiba Satellite
 M35X-S109 laptop (no built-in wifi), using Debian Etch?
 
 Very hard question: if so, how were you able to do it?
 
 I have tried a Netgear MA111 (v1?) USB adapter. I have only been able
 to get it to work out of the box with OpenBSD (any recent
 distribution), and Freespire 1.0.13 (before the switch to an Ubuntu
 base).
 
 I have also tried a Netgear WG111 (v2) adapter.  To date, it won't
 work out of the box with any of many non-M$ OSes tried.

I think one of them uses a ralink chipset, which means that there is a
driver available, however you need to compile and install it yourself
(e.g. using module-assistant). The netgear wg511t pcmcia card also
works, it uses an atheros chipset and runs with the madwifi driver.
Packages are available in non-free, so you also need to build them
using non-free. If you want to buy Netgear adapters, take a close look
at the product name. An additional letter or number can mean that is
uses a completely different chipset.

 FWIW, the MA111 says FCC ID: PY3MA111 on the side, and the WG111 says
 PY3WG111V2 on the side. I do not know how to determine the chipset
 inside either. I am not married to Netgear, I just happen to have
 those
 two adapters (purchased new).  I am not familiar with
 moduel-assistant, or adding or subtracting kernel modules. Nor have I
 ever built a package, or compiled a driver. I have never rebuilt a
 kernel. I would much rather just buy a new adapter, if it would JUST
 WORK, without any fuss. If I could only find one.

Maybe lsusb knows. As for module-assistant, usually it is sufficcient to

- replace main with main contrib non-free in your sources.list and
run apt-get update
- install module-assistant
- run module-assistant prepare
- run module-assistant auto-install $driver-source
- load the driver manually or reboot

 The question I have is which Etch packaged kernel would you recommend

 Personally, I would pick the K7.  It has some optimization for the AMD

Etch/i386 also comes with an AMD64 kernel package. It should run fine
with a 32 bit userspace environment.

You probably use udev, which generates device files and symlinks

 Da auch? Ich dachte, dass der Kernel nur dann in den Modus

 das.

  oder wenn der Monitor die Auflösung in der vorgegebenen Frequenz

 Klar. (Beim OP hatte es offensichtlich mit dem selben Modus und
 anderem Kernel funktioniert.)
 Bei dem original Kernel von Debian sarge (2.6.8-3-386) funktioniert
 der MOdus vga=791 ohne Probleme. ich habe dann die original Quellen
 unter /usr/src ausgepackt den Link nach linux gesetzt und die
 Konfigurationsdatei aus /boot nach /usr/src/linux kopiert. Dann habe
 ich einige Anpassungen gemacht, die betreffen aber nicht die
 Framebuffer-Treiber oder ähnliche Komponenten. Hier die Liste:

Der Debian-Kernel hat den vesafb-Treiber als Modul, aber soweit ich weiß
ist das nur durch einen debianspezifischen Patch möglich, d.h. Du musst
bei Deinem eigenen Kernel den Treiber fest einbauen.

 Mein Fehler mit original Quellen, habe ich die von Debian gemeint
 (kernel-source-2.6.8.tar.bz2). Diese Quellen pake ich nur aus und bau
 dann einen angepassten Kernel. Aus diesem Grund denke ich, das alle
 debianspezifischen Patche enthalten sind. Oder ist das nicht so?

Es sollte so sein. Du solltest trotzdem sicherstellen daß in dem Fall
der vesafb-Treiber entweder im Kernel ist oder (Standard-
Debiankonfiguration) als Modul gebaut wurde, *und* in der initrd
vorhanden ist.

Du brauchst nur einen offiziellen Debian-Spiegel (z.B.
ftp.de.debian.org) und die Quelle für Sicherheitsaktualisierungen
(security.debian.org). Für inoffizielle Quellen die Du sonst noch
hinzufügst um neuere Pakete zu bekommen (z.B. backports.org)
übernimmt Debian natürlich keine Verantwortung und Du bist dann bei
Sicherheitslücken auf die inoffiziellen Quellen selbst angewiesen.

 zudem habe ich die vermutung das mein system da ich nicht wirklich
 viel zum upgraden und updaten hab ziemlich viele sicherheits lücken
 hat!

Das ist eine ziemlich pauschale Aussage, die auch niemand kommentieren
kann ohne zu wissen was für Pakete Du installiert hast, welche
Debian-Version Du installiert hast (und wie!), und welche Updates denn
nun genau vorgeschlagen wurden. Details findest Du aber auf
http://security.debian.org. Außerdem solltest Du als Benutzer die

No, the program used for that is apt-setup from the base-config package.
It has however been removed from unstable and testing because as far as
I know the configuration of your sources has been integrated into the
Debian installer.

 also, apart from using dpkg -l to see what packages are installed. How

 Is there a list somewhere or something

You can use dpkg-reconfigure with any package, but for most it won't ask
any questions. You can use debconf-get-selections from the
debconf-utils package to find out which packages ask questions.

Re: Why backports packages not deactivated

 I've been following the Debian Backports - Instructions

No. You don't decativate them, you pin them to a lower priority than
500. 500 ist the default priority for packages available from some
repository.

 This is the to-be-wrongly-updated package:
 
  $ apt-cache policy hplip-ppds
  hplip-ppds:
Installed: 0.9.3-3
Candidate: 0.9.7-3bpo1

  ^^^
   *** 0.9.3-3 0
 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  ^^^
 
 It will be automatically updated from sarge to backport.
 Why?

It is upgraded because the installed version has a lower priority
(100200). It has a lower priority because that version is not
available in any archive. Probably because that version is outdated. By
the way, where did you get it from? It is not part of stable. I
recommend that you either upgrade or pin the installed version to 
200.

 I am using etch and it is up to date apart from the kernel.  When I

Yes. You need packages for 2.6.12 or newer. Older versions don't work
with udev in etch, for example.

 Is this the right package for me to use?

Yes.

 Why the change from kernel-source to linux-source?

Probably because there are ports of debian that use other kernels, e.g.
The Hurd and FreeBSD.

 Why is 2.6.15 the current stable kernel when only even numbered
 releases were supposed to be stable?

The even number is the second number. 2.4 kernels are stable, 2.5 was
a developement branch, 2.6 is stable (more or less ;-))

Doch. Ob es bei Dir installiert ist weiß ich allerdings auch nicht. Das
müsstest Du mal nachschauen. Lass auch mal ls -l /etc/rcS.d/*udev*

eventuell Backports benutzt (apt-cache policy udev).

 Hier ein Auszug der Config.
 
 /etc/modules:

 e1000

Für das Verhalten gibt es verschiedene Erklärungen. Eine wäre neueres
udev (ersetzt hotplug, läuft aber früher als dieses), eine andere ist
discover. Wenn Du einen eigenen Kernel benutzt kann das Problem auch
auftreten wenn die Treiber in den Kernel gebaut sind und nicht als
Module. Wenn alles nichts hilft solltest Du nameif oder ifrename
benutzen und die Namen einfach an die MAC-Adressen binden.

You should first tell us which Debian version you use. If you use stable
(which includes 2.6.8), use the default compiler (install the gcc
package). If you use testing or unstable, I recommend you either
explicitly use the older version of gcc (still available) or upgrade to
a newer kernel (testing/unstable has 2.6.15 right now). The 2.6.8
kernel also has some compatibility problems with newer userspace
programs like udev from testing/unstable.

Re: warning when upgrading xorg for testing

2006-02-13 Thread Andreas Janssen
Hello

Hans Vogelsberger ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote:

 When apt-get upgraded xorg for Debian testing this afternoon (Central
 European Time), nvidia-glx was removed and no X showed up after next
 boot.

This happened because nvidia-glx from testing is incompatible with xorg
6.9. You can install the nvidia or nvidia.*-legacy packages from
unstable, depending on whether you have a card that is only supported
by the legacy driver (GeForce 2 or older) or e newer card.

 I commented nvidia in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - Section Device - 
 line Driver, uncommented nv in the following line, and rebooted,
 and X worked normal again. Only the letters seem slightly frayed on
 the screen. This is unimportant for youngsters of 73 or even below,
 but people like me must avoid dissension with their eye doctor.

This could have several reasons. First you should run

xdpyinfo | grep dim

and check if the screen size X thinks you are using is correct. If not,
add

DisplaySize width height #width and height in mm

to the monitor section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X. After
that at least the dpi value should be correct. If you still have
problems, make sure xfonts.*-transcoded is installed. You probably also
want to use AntiAliasing so smoothen the edges of your fonts. How you
activate it depends on which window manager/desktop environment you
use.

 I am a newcomer to the list and have the following question to ask. I
 have recently installed debian sarge (the stable distribution) but

 apt-cache show mozilla-firefox

 1. Can I install software from the testing distribution under sarge.

In general: no, you can't. A lot of stuff from testing is incompatible
to stable, and if upgrade some packages to testing, a lot of other
stuff needs to be upgraded as well. You will end up with a mixed
system, possibly more or less broken.

 For example if I add a line in the /etc/apt/sources.list file. Or do I
 have to upgrade to the testing etch.

Either upgrade completely to testing (which I don't recommend if you
don't know how to do it), or use stable and get updated packages of
Firefox that were built for /your/ system. Take a look at
http://www.backports.org, but read the instructions carefully. If you
don't, you will accidentially install all the packages from there,
instead of only those you want.

 2. What command can I use in the shell to edit the
 /etc/apt/sources.list file but not manually but through interface. I
 think there was a tool like this but I don't remember what it was.

You can use any text editor (e.g. nano, vi, vim, emacs), or run
apt-setup.

Of course you can. Debian kernels (even 2.6.15) work fine without udev
and don't depend on it. What you can't do is:

1. try to make kernels = 2.6.12 work with udev from sarge
2. install hotplug and udev at the same time (unless both is from sarge)
3. keep your hotplug configuration files around after it was removed
when your udev package gor upgraded (you are told so during udev
installation). Purge the hotplug package.

 in U and removing packages in R doesn't yield any broken

 Imagine the situation, in which there are packages A and B,
 previously unrelated, and a new version of A is coming in and
 it Conflicts: B. In that case, systems having both A and B

Yes. Obviously the new package requires you to remove either one. This
happend with recet hotplug and udev versions. This is okay as long as
the new package has correct dependencies that make sure the conflicting
packages are removed.

This should happen automatically if you install the alsa-base package.
It you use kernel 2.6 and udev, also make sure you purge the hotplug
package as you were told during the udev installation (dpkg --purge
hotplug). If the module still gets loaded, activate the bootlog daemon
(/etc/default/bootlogd) and use `less /var/log/boot` after booting to
find out which service is responsible for the module being loaded.

 I've managed after some work to install debian on my new Dell machine
 (ICH7 controller + SATA): I debootstrapped the system from Knoppix and
 then installed the latest kernel 2.6.15-1-686-smp from the backports
 with initramfs-tools. I need to recompile it to add support for some
 hardware (not relevant here).
 
 Unfortunately, it seems that I can't even recompile the 2.6.15-1-686
 kernel with the same configuration my machine uses. The step I'm
 making:
 
 apt-get install linux-source-2.6.15
 
 unpack the sources, go to kernel sources directory
 copy /boot/config-2.6.15-1-686 to .config

= This is when you should have run make oldconfig to apply the new
configuration from your Debian Kernel.

 make bzImage

= And this is where I suggest you use kernel-package/make-kpkg instead,
e.g. `fakeroot make-kpkg --revision 1.0 kernel_image`. This will create
a Debian package with the kernel and modules in /usr/src. Use dpkg -i
to install it.

 make modules
 make modules_install

 I copy the bzImage and System.map to boot, generate an initrd.img file
 using initramfs -o /boot/initrd.img
 
 and then reboot the machine with the new initrd image and bzImage.
 The system reports it can't find my root device /dev/sda1 (which is
 SATA on ICH7)

Did you reconfigure your bootloader accordingly? Did you tell it where
the initrd is? Btw, if you use kernel-package, this will be done
automatically.

You don't need (and shouldn't use) the linux-source package. It does not
have what you need to build modules for the running kernel. To use the
source, you must configure it using the config file from your kernel,
and change the Makefile to macht your kernel version. You need the

modules. Luckily you already installed it.

Remove this symlink, and remove /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15 as well.
Then run module-assistant prepare and m-a auto-install ndiswrapper.

You need to run apt-key, e.g.

Of course this only works /after/ you installed apt from

Probably because you use Sarge, and apt in Sarge doesn't check the GPG
signatures of the Release files. It only checks the md5sums of the
Package files (which are stored in the Release file). If you use Sarge
(without backported apt from somewhere else!), this problem shouldn'd
occur, because not only apt-key, but the whole GPG stuff is not
implemented in your apt. debmirror seems to be a different issue,
however. It looks like debmirror from Sarge /does/ check GPG
signatures, and you probably can solve the problem by importing the
matching keys using gpg.

 Install the 2006 archive signing key. This has been explained
 plenty of times on the list, search the archive if you need a
 longer explanation.

 I've been watching the list, reading most of these threads. I've
 seen plenty of people having trouble with it but few solutions. Can
 you send a link to the archived post that includes a solution?

 
 The original message by Joey Hess:

 That is not a link that includes a solution--that message says to use
 the command apt-key, which, as David pointed out, does not exist in
 Sarge.

David also didn't say /he/ had the problem. By the way, if you take a
closer look, you will see that the OP in the thread mentioned above
uses unstable.

 I am setting up a Debian (sarge) webserver to run over my home DSL
 connection. I've been using my best common sense and a whole lot of

 parentheses refer to the sections of this guide:
 
 http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/
 
 4.2 Executing a security update
 
 Is the NAT/firewall in my wireless router (WEP enabled) sufficient
 protection when doing the security update during installation?

NAT is sufficient, as long as you don't forward new connections from the
outside into your local network. By the way, NAT may be sufficient, WEP
is not. Switch to WPA if you can, and use a good and long passphrase.

 4.2.2 Security update of the Kernel
 
 I recompiled and installed a 2.6.8 kernel w/ local APIC support
 disabled because I was getting spurious interrupt messages. I also
 enabled Athlon support. Will apt/dpkg still be able to detect when
 kernel updates are necessary according to this section? Or am I on my
 own to maintain my custom kernel?

If you install your own kernel, you are on your own. apt can however
detect when a new version of the kernel-source package is available. I
also recommend that you use kernel-package/make-kpkg to build your
kernel, or (as someone already mentioned) use a Debian kernel and
switch off APIC using the noapic boot option.

 4.9.1, 4.9.2
 
 These sections refer to modifying apt.conf, but this file doesn't
 exist...instead there is an /etc/apt/apt.conf.d directory and in it a
 70debconf file. I can't find any docs on how this directory structure
 works or the proper way to modify it. The apt man page says that apt
 first reads the file in APT_CONFIG but this env var is not set. I have
 found plenty of docs on using apt, but none on configuring it.

Simply create apt.conf, or create your own file in /etc/apt/conf.d.

 gibt es in testing im Moment kein k3b?

Nein, schon seit langem nicht.

 Wenn nein, wo kann ich deb's her bekommen ohne selbst zu bauen?

http://snapshot.debian.net

Du brauchst Version 0.12.10-1 von k3b und libk3b2.

 Gibt es einen backport?

Ich weiß keinen, außer alten unstable-Paketen die noch gehen.

 Oder kann ich es auch aus unstable nahemen?

Aktuell nicht, weil die Pakete in unstable schon für KDE 3.5 neu gebaut
wurden, in Testing ist aber noch 3.4.

 Wenn ja, kann mir jemanden die Vorgehensweise erklären wie ich nur k3b
 dann aus unstable ziehen kann.

DefaultRelease auf testing setzen, unstable zur sources.list hinzufügen,
gewünschte Pakete entsprechend pinnen. Siehe `man apt_preferences`,
`man apt.conf` und apt-doc. Nützt Dir aber wie gesagt in diesem Fall
nichts.

Re: dependency hell dist-upgrade the right way

2006-01-31 Thread Andreas Janssen
Hello

Rodney Richison ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote:

 Since, lately, I've had a coupla systems give he all kinds of hell.
 I'm curious if you guys have some hints to do a fresh install the
 right way? Including upgrading to unstable or testing. Both end up
 in kde dependency hell.
 
 Installing sarge choosing no packages, then dist-upgrading, then
 install kde doesn't work. Why? kde dependency hell. (Once you get past
 the udev bug and the locales bug)
 
 So, maybe my methodology is wrong. I run unstable on this box I'm on
 and don't remember having trouble doing so.. Works just fine as it
 always has in the past. I've never before had such problems upgrading
 as I have lately. Testing and unstable both seem to have some
 problems.. Anyone do a fresh install the last week or two that's
 worked for them? Hints?

There have been some C++ Transitions in the past, also a lot of
additional software for KDE is not in Testing. Some have or had RC
bugs, and they can't migrate now from unstable because the unstable
packages have already been built for KDE 3.5. KDE itself in testing
should however be OK.

Re: Debian Server minimal backup - was sichern?

Lars Schimmer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote:

 Gegeben sei ein LoginServer mit einer 20 GB System HD.
 Die Homes der User sind auf einem AFS Filesystem im Netz, ergo nur

 Jetzt möchte ich diesen Server so ins Backup schieben, daß ich ihn

 aufziehen kann. Und dieses vor allem schnell und möglichst komplett
 OHNE ein Vollbackup vorzunehmen.
 
 Idee:
 1. dpkg --get-selections Installed.packages.txt ins Backup für die
 Pakete 2. /etc/ sichern für die Konfigurationen
 3. /var/ sichern für Logfiles/ spool von manch Paket (hylafax z.b.)
 
 Bei HD Crash dann sarge installieren, dpkg --set-selections und /etc/
 und /var/ einspielen.
 
 Habe ich etwas wichtiges vergessen?

Wenn Du zusätzlich zu dpkg --get-selections noch debconf-get-selections
benutzt (Paket debconf-utils), und die Werte vor dem apt-get dselect
upgrade wieder einspielst, bleiben Dir auch die ganzen debconf-Fragen
bei der Neuinstallation erspart.

If you have an older system that doesn't support ACPI, you need to load
the apm module. Use

echo apm  /etc/modules  modprobe apm

or install the apmd package.

 Sicherheitsgutachten von Debian und lade mir die dort jeweils

 Weil ich auch nach solchen Updates das System komplett von CDs

 inoffizielle Update-CDs erzeugen, d.h. im Vorgriff auf ein
 irgendwann mal erscheinendes Debian 3.1 r2.
 
 Wer kann mich darüber aufklären, wie das geht? Ich habe das Paket
 debian-cd gefunden. Gibt es dafür eine Anleitung für den Neuling?

Ich habe früher einfach mit apt-move ein Archiv aus den
heruntergeladenen Dateien erstellt. Den Dateibaum habe ich auf CD
kopiert und diese dann zusätzlich zu den vorhandenen CDs als weitere
Installationsquelle einlesen lassen. Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere
musste/konnte ich das Label beim Einlesen von Hand eingeben, das lässt
sicher ändern (ich weiß aber nicht wie).

Wenn die Rechner in einem Netzwerk zusammenarbeiten käme eventuell auch
eine Netzwerkfreigabe (z.B. Web oder FTP, apt-proxy oder apt-cacher) in
Frage. Die kannst Du bei der Installation als Quelle angeben. Pakete
Deiner CDs kannst Du mit geeigneten Werkzeugen (apt-proxy-import bei
apt-proxy) in das Archiv importieren.

 Okay, I did an upgrade but have lost two major things (among others),
 vlc and k3b. What version of k3b do you have?

Sorry, but there /is/ no k3b in etch, and there /won't/ be any k3b in
etch until KDE in etch is upgraded from 3.4 to 3.5. Until about a week
ago, there would have been an chance to get all the additional KDE
packages (amarok, kaffeine, k3b) from unstable, because unstable had
the same KDE version that was in etch, but you obviously missed the
chance. If you want to upgrade to the latest KDE in etch, you need to
deinstall nearly all KDE programs that are not part of KDE itself.
Getting those packages from unstable is also not an option, because
those packages are simply not compatible. Your only chance is to find
old versions on http://snapshot.debian.net. You need:

k3b and libk3b2 0.12.10-1
amarok and amarok-engines 1.3.7-1
kaffeine and kaffeine-xine 0.7.1-1.3+b1

I don't know about vlc, so you probably will have to do some search on
your own.

You can set the package to hold usind aptitude or dselect or

 Das kannst du unter 2.6 auch simulieren, wenn du Firefox z.B. vom
 Terminal so lädst:
   LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.0 firefox
 Bitte auch http://people.redhat.com/drepper/assumekernel.html lesen.
 
 Ah, danke! Ist das auch der Grund, warum die DVD-Laufwerke (welche ich
 mit ide-scsi anspreche) je 7x erscheinen?!?

Das hat wohl mit einer Kerneloption zu tun (und kann wenn ich mich
richtig erinnere mit der Bootoption max_scsi_luns=1 geändert werden).
Alternativ könntest Du natürlich auch auf ide-scsi verzichten (und falls
Du auch ohne brennen willst auf Kernel 2.6 wechseln).
