espeakup-amd64 accessibility broken

2010-12-13 Thread Jude DaShiell
Latest kernel image broke accessibility on espeakup-amd64 uild of Debian which is a squeeze version. This may also have happened with the debian stock version as well, but I'll find that out later this week. After installation a reboot leaves the computer non-verbal which means for some

debian sled install failed

2010-11-29 Thread Jude DaShiell
I have drives on sleds here so as to be able to switch operating systems in and out when needed. I think espeakup-amd64.iso was built with some version of debian squeeze and I tried to install it onto one of these drives and later hung the hard drive off of a usb port. In both instances

col command broken

2010-03-25 Thread Jude DaShiell
Earlier I used col -bx typescript typescript.tmp; mv typescript.tmp typescript cr to clean up typescript files so the escape codes are removed. With the latest update of col that I got though, running that command no longer cleans up typescript files and just leaves them in their original

bad rsync downloads of ubuntu

2009-12-30 Thread Jude DaShiell
rsync -av rsync://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-build/current/lucid-desktop-i386.iso . produced a download missing 61 files. I also downloaded MD5SUMS from that same directory and ran md5sum -c lucid-desktop-i386.iso and got those results. Is there a better rsync command that will just get an ok

Actually, I had used md5sum incorrectly and didn't check MD5SUMS with it. As soon as I did that, the file I downloaded came back as OK. I hadn't used md5sum to check files for a while and temporarily forgot that syntax detail. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to

checkbot package question

2009-12-08 Thread Jude DaShiell
Can that package be used to check podcast feeds to find out if any of them are viable at any given time? I had a bunch of podcasts earlier and when I went to subscribe to those again I got mostly error 404 but some error 400 and some error 500 results as well when a podcatcher was used to do

debian disk is dying

2009-10-17 Thread Jude DaShiell
The hardware needs to be returned to the factory for a warranty-covered replacement. I have an esata docking station and an esata hard drive I can put this system on though. I'm using the command line and figure I'll probably end up using cpio to do the backup. What maybe could be a problem

seek complete errors on boot up

2009-10-09 Thread Jude DaShiell
I'm getting seek complete errors both on boot up and at certain times after login which are being sent out over the console interface to my user account. This happens even though I think e2fsck runs when I boot up. Any ideas as to what the cause for this problem is as well as what can be done

debian stream browser accessibility

I have gnome-orca installed and when I use the X environment I have speech turned on. I tried tunapie earlier and found it totally useless with orca; the only thing orca ever said when tunapie was running was panel when I hit the left and right arrow keys, I couldn't get it to do anything

oss-compatibility package warning

2009-08-30 Thread Jude DaShiell
I had squeeze mostly working well except no mixer was detected by alsamixer when I ran it. I have one of the Intel sound cards so maybe that's why. I made the huge mistake of trying to install the aumix package and one of its dependencies is the oss-compatibility package. The

dash download

2009-08-08 Thread Jude DaShiell
When the offer came up to install dash on my machine and I had a listen to the bug reports, I decided to do the installation but not make dash my default shell. Everything on this amd64-k8 machine went without incident. I haven't yet tried chsh to find out what will happen but am in a position

print jobs missing line feeds

2009-08-07 Thread Jude DaShiell
It seems the reason everything now prints out on one line after the header prints is because the postscript file being created has had line feeds stripped out. I saved the output of a2ps -r -o biglots.doc biglots.txt and ran file biglots.doc to find out it was postscript level 3. So mv

cups and panasonic printer status

2009-08-06 Thread Jude DaShiell
I think what I got was either a new never used defective printer, or I must have hit a wrong menu key on the printer because the printer now only prints out everything on one line. I can probably get the printer checked out this weekend and if the configuration is wrong have it fixed. If

cups package bug

2009-08-05 Thread Jude DaShiell
When either real root or sudo root runs commands like: lpadmin -d Panasonic-KX-P1123 cr Immediately afterwards /var/log/cups/error-log should not contain an entry stating that root tried setting cups default and that the attempt was unauthorized. This potentially means three things: 1) cups

udev: deprecated sysfs layout; update the kernel or disable CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED; some udev features will not work correctly . The interesting thing about this message on boot up on my system is that it isn't being caught by dmesg. That is when I do dmesg dmesg.log and examine the log
