From unstable to Etch
Hello I have a Debian/unstable installation which is now used by other family members, so I want to switch it to Etch (now or when Etch becomes stable). I do not care too much if some things would not be exactly like in the coming stable Etch release, but I do want security updates (without the danger of destroying the system by an update). I do know that downgrading is not really supported by aptitude, but I think that these days where Etch will soon become stable I could probably just change my /etc/apt/sources.list to point to Etch instead of unstable and have more or less an Etch system after a while (I'm using aptitude and the sid system is up to date). Or is there more involved? When is the best time to do the switch? Thank you for insights, Robert Epprecht -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I had so many problems with it that I can't remember what the main problems where. Once (some years ago) I had tried an Debian unstable installation, which was only meant as a test as I wasn't able to install woody (or later on sarge) on it. It's the only successful Debian install I was ever able to do on this crazy machine (beside a Fedora system, which I do not like too much) I have a couple of partitions and will try an etch install later on, but I do not want to lose my working sid system... Well I can always clone it to another partition and try to downgrade it to etch. Before you install from scratch, try this, it worked for me: http://bertgarcia.com/2006/10/03/giga-meet-etch That's about the way I thought it should work.

Re: kmail SMTP problems

Unfortunately I have no idea why it didn't work before and does now. I set it up on 5 different accounts, one of them was working immediately on the others I had to fiddle around with different settings (see below) try again and again and then sooner or later (in most cases it was later) it started working. The frustrating thing is, that I never saw an error message and have no idea if I did something wrong or if there's a bug somewhere, which I should report... Each account behaved differently (!) and I was not able to find a setup, that would just work. I think this is a big problem with this type of GUI applications: If it does *not* work, how do you find out what's wrong? Not even starting Kmail from a terminal provided any diagnostic error messages. This does not feel like Linux to set it up, but like another well known OS ;-) Why can't a GUI program provide the the possibility to give (meaningful) error messages to the user who wants to see it? If somebody is struggling with the same issue (google tells me I'm not the only one to do so) these are the parameters I fiddled with. (Some of them *might* have an influence, but I was not able to find out) * Changing 'googlemail' to 'gmail' in smtp and pop host names. * Omitting the '@gmail' or '@googlemail' part of the username (contrary of what Google tells you to do on http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287topic=1556) * Setting smtp port to 465 (like Google tells you) but then 'check servers possibilities' (or similar) from Kmail settings, which will set the port back to 25. Leave it there. * Switching 'check mail on startup' on (then leave Kmail, start and leave again) and set it back to 'off' * Do not allow 8-bit transfer but use QP (my test messages had german umlauts in them) * It looks to me as if Google passwords had problems with some signs other then characters and chiffres (if this is true, it's quite a problem IMHO) * Even the language settings of the KDE desktop might have had some influence... I'm very sorry that I cannot give better information and hope somebody will be able to do so... BTW: my Kmail users do not want to enter the password every time they want to get or send mail. (This also rules out Kwallet, so I do not use it, which might be wrong...) Given the fact that they do not care too much about security they want Kmail to store the password. This worked on one account, but the others bothered the users again and again asking for passwords. It has stopped to do so on three accounts, but not on the others (no idea why). diffing the ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc does not show anything that seams relevant. Another very strange issue...

kmail SMTP problems
Hello I try to set up kmail to use SMTP on google mail accounts. I have tried to do this on my machine here (Debian sarge) as a test and everything works fine. But (as a Gnus user) I do not need kmail for me, but try to set it up on another machine which is a Debian sid system. But whatever I tried I cannot send mail from Kmail there. The mail just stays in the outgoing mail directory without any error message being displayed. I couldn't find an error log file either. I *can* send messages using 'mail' on the command line, but not with kmail. How can I find out what the problem might be?

Are you trying to use an MTA to send? No, I try to use SMTP (from Kmail) If not then the fact that you can send using 'mail' is not relevant. That was also my impression, but googling around I found a message where somebody had the same problem and was told, that he would need sendmail installed to enable kmail to use SMTP. This surprised me, but I tried at least (using exim4 instead)... Check kmail's preferences. There is usually a setting like 'keep messages in queue', and kmail will not (try to) send them until you use the Send/Receive (or whatever it is called) button. No it's not that. I have checked 'send now' (which works as expected on my other test installation). P.S. Sorry for suggesting trivial stuff, but you didn't provide enough info so I'm just guessing. Thank you anyway. Sorry for not telling all the details. I hoped somebody could tell me how to get some kind of error messages so that I could possibly fix it on my own. Here is some more information: I use pop to get the mail which is working (on both systems). I use SMTP on server smtp.gmail.com port 465 with authentification and TLS plain (like google mail webpage tells me to do). Kmail tries to send but stays at 0%. The messages remain in the outgoing mail folder and are not moved to the sent mail folder. On my other system (where I do not need Kmail but installed it just to experiment with it) everything works fine (on the very same gmail account). My problem is, that I can't find out how to get an error message or SMTP log to find out what's wrong. Robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

DVD-RAM questions
I have a couple of questions about DVD-RAM on Debian Sarge, kernel 2.4.27-3-686 If I format DVD-RAMs with ext2 most things work fine but there are two minor problems: When I shut down the system without manually umounting the DVD-RAM it does not get cleanly umounted like a hd or somesuch. When I'm formating a medium the system gets real slow and sometimes it does not react on user input any more for some time. Following some discussions on debian lists I got the impression that udf would be a 'better' filesystem for DVD-RAM. Is this true and why? I wanted to try and I did mkudffs --media-type=dvdram /dev/scd6 which did (?) it's job in a few seconds (while mkfs.ext2 takes a while) and then I could mount -tudf /dev/$DVDRAM_DEVICE /DVD-RAM muz:~# mount [snip] /dev/scd6 on /DVD-RAM type udf (rw) but I can't write files on the device: muz:~# /DVD-RAM/new_file -bash: /DVD-RAM/new_file: Read-only file system What did I do wrong?

partitioning and formatting external usb hd
Excuse this probably very stupid question, but before I shoot myself in my feets I'd rather ask... I've got my first external usb hd and can mount it without problems as /dev/sda1 on my Debian/Sarge machine (kernel 2.4.27-2-386). It's formatted as vfat and I want to keep a small vfat partition but for the main part putting ext3 or something on it. As this is my first experience with this type of hardware I want to double check on the list if I can do that using 'fdisk /dev/sda' and then 'mkfs.ext3' just as on oldstile ide disks?

I'm not really clear, how it is supposed to work. Do I have to run these programs as root? (wouldn't like the idea...). You need read access to the cdrom device files. If you don't use ide-scsi-Emulation (e.g. if your device files are /dev/hdx), make sure they belong to the cdrom group and that you are member of that group. If you use kernel 2.4 with ide-scsi emulation, make sure that /dev/sg* belongs to root.cdrom and has read/write access for the group. I think you also need these permissions if you want to write CDs without making the apps suid root. This was very helpful information, thanks a lot. I am running kernel 2.4.27-2-386 and do use ide-scsi-emulation. I had to change change group and permissions on /dev/sg* and I had to link /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd7 (don't know why it's number seven). I hope this was the right thing to do, at least it's working now ;-) Thanks to everybody who answered. With ripperX and grip I had two more candidates to test, though I prefer console applications. So I concentrated on 'abcde' and 'jack'. I somehow prefered 'abcde' over 'jack' but unfortunately it did not rename wav's (only encoded files) while jack did. But -hey!- this is free software, so I made a trivial change to 'abcde' and now it does what I want... :-) Thanks a lot, Robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I have even had issues with the position of the drives on the ribbon cable, depending on the UDMA number of the device. I would start with hd's on one cable cd/dvd's on the other. Make sure your chipset is supported by kernel. This may be old info as I have been running scsi mostly. But then performance will take a hit. Not necessarily. As usual, it depends on the usage pattern. Exactly. That's why I selected this unusual hw configuration. As I said this is an audio workstation. I wanted to have system and programs on one hd and write my audio data to another one. I wanted to optimize them for fast parallel performance. Let's say I'm playing a softsynt which needs thousends of audio samples from hda and writes the processed audio to hdc while playing back some already recorded tracks (from hdc) to my headphones. In audio work it's the worst case that counts: if a hd cannot deliver/write the audio data fast enough there will be clicks or dropouts... I use the dvdwriter only for backup (DVDRAM) the dvd reader for syncing two DVDRAMs with important data. I don't care about speed here. An optical drive (slow) running on the same IDE channel as a hard drive (fast) will slow down data transfer to and from the hard drive, when the optical drive is operating (by forcing a lower DMA mode?). Yes, but it can slow down also when it is *not* used when it's clock speed on the cable is too low (as Alvin Oga mentioned). OTOH, if both hard drives are on the same IDE channel, then they may compete with each other for the bandwidth on that channel. So again this can slow things down. My main reason for choosing this layout. But if there's, say, one optical drive that you don't use very much, then pair it on an IDE channel with the hard drive that you want to get the most performance from. I use *both* optical drives rarely and never during audio work. Robert Epprecht -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ide-scsi with 2 drives
Hello Up to now I had one hd and one dvd writer and everything worked fine. Now I have added a second hd and a dvd rom drive: /dev/hda hd /dev/hdb dvd writer /dev/hdc hd /dev/hdd dvd rom A short test with another OS (no, it's debian woody ;-) without ide-scsi seems to do fine with all of them. The trouble starts when I want to use ide-scsi to burn cds or dvds. This time I boot sid (but I don't think this makes the difference) with 'hdb=ide-scsi' as kernel parameter in grub menu.lst (it's a 2.4.24 kernel). I can mount the dvd writer as /dev/scd0, but I cannot mount /dev/hdd. I tried /dev/scd1, which (to my big surprise) mounts the same drive as /dev/scd0. I have tried appending 'hdb=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi' as kernel parameters, and a couple of other things, but had no success yet. I must be doing something wrong... So before I post error messages of everything I tried please tell me what kernel parameters (and syntax) I should try in grub.

Re: MBR Während der Installation auf die Diskette übertragen(oder auch Bootloader,bin nicht sicher)

Ich möchte nicht das Lilo oder Grub in meiner MBR der ersten Festplatte rumpfuscht und in der zweiten evtl. auch nicht. Ich möchte also bei der Debianistallation den MBR auf dikette haben. Wenn ich dich richtig verstehe brauchst du nicht den MBR auf diskette (obwohl es nie schaden kann den für alle Fälle vor der Installation auf eine Diskette zu sichern) sondern du willst eine LILO oder GRUB Bootdiskette. So daß ich Linux starten kann, wenn ich die Diskette nach dem Rechner einschalten eingelegt hab. Ansonsten soll wie immer mein Windows XP starten. Du kannst (sowohl mit LILO als erst recht auch mit GRUB) die Diskette ruhig drinn lassen und im Bootmenu auswählen was du booten möchtest. Gibt es diese Funktion bei der Debianinstallation? Ja. Wenn ich mich recht erinnere bietet dir die Installation die Möglichkeit eine LILO Bootdisk zu erstellen als Alternative zur Installation auf der HD sowieso an. Bei GRUB (den ich selber bevorzuge) ist aber wohl etwas Handarbeit angesagt. Möglich ist (beides) aber auf jeden Fall. Natürlich muss im BIOS das Booten vom Floppy (in der Reihenfolge *vor* der HD) aktiviert sein. Es ist nämlich bei einigen bekannten das problem aufgetreten, das sich windows und linux auf einem Rechner nicht vertragen. Da hat wohl das als zweite installierte Betriebsystem den MBR überschrieben. Debian tut das nicht, ohne dich vorher zu fragen, Windows aber sehr wohl... Sonst vertragen sich die beiden gut.

Umlaute drucken
Ich sollte *dringend* (heute...) einen Text ausdrucken, der Umlaute enthält, die Umlaute kommen aber falsch. Der Text ist in Emacs geschrieben. 'C-x =' auf einem ä gibt zB. Char: ä (0344, 228, 0xe4, file 0xE4) Der Drucker ist ein (uralter) Canon BJC-800 der laut Docu das kleine ä auf (dezimal) 123 oder 251 erwartet. Es ist ein Debian Woody System. Dummerweise weiss ich nicht einmal genau welches Druckerspoolsystem installiert ist und weder 'lpr --version' noch 'lpr --help' hilft mir da weiter. 'dpkg --get-selections' sagt nur 'lpr install', von 'cups' oder 'CUPS' finde ich da nichts. Wenn ich auf der console 'lpr xyz.txt' sage wird xyz.txt zwar gedruckt, aber eben mit falschen Zeichen statt den Umlauten. Ich bin jetzt etwas ratlos: hängt das jetzt an einem falschen coding system in meinem GNU/emacs (und wie stell ich das allenfalls richtig ein), ruf ich lpr falsch auf, ist mein Drucker falsch konfiguriert, oder mein (Linux) Druck- system oder was? Wer kann mir einen Tipp geben? (Für dem Moment bin ich zufrieden, wenn ich eine reine Textdatei samt Umlauten richtig drucken kann).

Of course you can write script but I do it in brain dead way. make source locally cvs ci to local CVS cvs export from local cvs to new tree cvs import to remote to create archive ok keep working on local CVS created by cvs co also make another tree with cvs co from remote both local, I get using mc's 2 window mode, copy files with only update mode from local tree to remote cvs tree by using tag (insert ket) and F5 Hmm, I don't get that. When you say 'remote cvs tree' is this the local tree checked out from the remote repository, or what? Don't know mc (I'm working on the text console). How do my local check in's go to the remote server. I want version numbers, commit times and commit messages be the same on both servers, of course. get an idea. not yet...
