Sysklogd vs. rsyslog

2012-07-07 Thread Touko Korpela
(please cc me) Rsyslog is now the default syslog daemon on Debian (at least on wheezy, maybe earlier also). It has more features than sysklogd. Maybe package description of sysklogd should tell that better logging daemons are available and it's no longer the default? Some upgraders from previous

Getting power saving to work by default in wheezy

2012-05-11 Thread Touko Korpela
I think it would be nice if power saving options (SATA,USB,wireless etc.) were turned on by default when running on laptop. Powertop can report which kernel tunables are set (and you can use it to turn individual options on/off). Laptop task installs pm-utils by default. There is also optional

BTS is taking a lot of time to process emails recently
