Packaging problem: impossible to build package from source
Hello everyone. I don't know if this is the best suited place for this kind of assistance, but I'm currently trying to create a debian .deb package from the official source obtained from debian repositories. In my case I'm trying to build openvpn, the procedure I follow is: apt-get source openvpn dpkg-source -x openvpn..dsc dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc However after the whole compilation goes fine, I obtain the following error: /home/pi/openvpn/openvpn-2.4.0/debian/dirs: 11: /home/pi/openvpn/openvpn-2.4.0/debian/dirs: usr/lib/openvpn: not found /home/pi/openvpn/openvpn-2.4.0/debian/dirs: 12: /home/pi/openvpn/openvpn-2.4.0/debian/dirs: usr/include/openvpn: not found dh_installdirs: debian/dirs (executable config) returned exit code 127 debian/rules:16: recipe for target 'binary' failed make: *** [binary] Error 127 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2 debuild: fatal error at line 1376: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -b failed Running dh_installdirs alone in every possible variant (even root) doesn't bring any change, that's where the error comes from. Apparently it doesn't find those directories but... isn't it supposed to create them? Does anyone have a clue about what's going on? I'm totally new to packaging but it's surprising that a standard source package downloaded from official debian servers doesn't work out of the box...

CIFS module bug?
This is my first time i try to submit a bug. I'm not able to determine which is the interested package, but i think it's something related to the cifs module. I'm using: 1)debian squeeze fully updated on an arm device 2)mounting a remote share using: mount -t cifs //192.168.2.18/public /hddext -o user=pippo,password=pluto The problem is when i try to compile a basic helloworld.c If i compile the .c file on the native filesystem everything is ok, but if i move the helloworld.c to /hddext (the mounted share) and compile the source (gcc helloworld.c) i get this: cc1: error: main.c: Value too large for defined data type The remote share is shared on a buffalo nas.

Squeeze : Keyboard problem as if a key is always pressed
Since yesterday I have this problem: sometimes, after some use, the sytem (Debian Squeeze) becomes a little unresponsive to mouse and keyboard (some clicks and keystrockes are lost). It is as if a mute key is always pressed. If I switch to console (ctrl-alt-F1), I see a cotinuous series of ^...@^@^...@. This stop and start if I press capslock.

It broke my keyboard autorepeat in X, but worked fine in virtual consoles. Noticed continuous ^...@^@^...@^@ in VCs after killing X, it even prevented me from logging in on a second VC for awhile, but that seemed to resolve itself somehow. xev showed keycode 232 and 233 being continuously pressed and released, which on my laptop is Fn+Up and Fn+Down, mapped to xf86brightnessup and xf86brightnessdown. Rebooted and the problem appeared to be gone until I tried to adjust brightness by using Fn+Down, which caused the unending key press events to start again. xset has no effect. I'll boot a LiveCD shortly to see if the problem occurs there. I have my caps lock key mapped to escape, so I will try remapping back to caps lock to test if this has any effect. I can confirm that setting brightness, which is Fn+Up and Fn+Down in my laptop as well, is the cause of the problem. Also to me xev showed keycode 232 and 233.

I would like if possible learn more about backports: how use it, understand dependences and possible problems using backports, some documentation. The way to use it cleanly is describe in this page ! For most backports, they are re-complied with the dependencies of sarge, so there is no need to upgrade the dependencies but for some packages, you will need to get their dependencies from the backports ! To check that, just enable the packages you want and with aptitude or apt-cache, check its dependencies then enable the needed dependencies.

Re: resolv.conf changing at boot

Why automatic tools can change /etc/resolv.conf?
A little question. Only the Root (the human) should modify a file in /etc, and dpkg ask when it may change a config file. This should be good. For /etc/resolv.conf, instead, many programs pretend to modify it (script from pppd, dhcp-client and so on). But for use dynamic dns server one can use dnrd, that can connect to various DNS servers dynamically without modify any file! If is not possible to put dnrd in any installation, why not modify a file like resolv.conf in /var/somewhat and make a symlink in /etc/resolv.conf? If an administrator want to make him change in /etc/resolv.conf and be sure that a program not modify it, he remove the symlink and create his resolv.conf. ciao Michele

But is correct that an application change /etc/resolv.conf even if the administrator write it entirely by hand? How can I prevent it? ciao Michele

The 'xset m' only changes the acceleration and threshold, but what I want is a faster non-accelerated mouse speed. I've tried 'xset m 4 1' which gives a good speed, but it makes the mouse 'jerky', since it moves the pointer 4 pixels at a time. Happy for any suggestions... Note that it is acceleration what you are looking for: it makes possible to have a good pointing precision while the pointer moves faster when you want to, that is if you move the mouse at speed 1 pixel/sec, the pointer moves at 1 pixel/sec, too, but if you move it at 2 pixel/sec, the pointer doesn't move, say, at 2 pixel/sec, but at 4 pixel/sec. -Michele

Hi! After my upgrade to HAMM every kind of printing takes forever. No matter whether I print via magicfilter or cat a file to /dev/lp1 my printer prints a line, waits something like 5 seconds, then prints the next line. Anyone out there who has an idea what happened? Do I have to set some baud rates for the device or something? Thanks a lot in advance! Andy. I strongly suspect this a kernel-related problem, since the printing is slow even when doing 'cat file /dev/lp1'. Or maybe you have confused /dev/lp1 with /dev/lp0?

So, I've been wondering is there is something I did, or didn't do, which changed that. I've played with the MTU and MRU settings. Currently, its 296 for both. No difference whatsoever.
