Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch

[Matthew Howle]

Hello,

I have a Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch (CTH-460) but I am unable to get the
device working on Squeeze stable (6.0.1, AMD64).

I also followed the instructions provided here
http://lik.noblogs.org/post/2010/05/07/wacom-debian/  except for using
version 0.8.8-11 of the linuxwacom driver.

Any ideas?

Here is the output of dmesg:

[ 4885.083982] usb 5-1: USB disconnect, address 9
[ 4931.764137] usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and

can you try the chainload ?
Finally I chainloade Mandriva and FreeBSD， it works fine .

edit the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom , this is my
configuration(https://gist.github.com/954772) :

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the

menuentry "Mandriva 2010 2 ChainLoader" {
set root=(hd0,12)
chainloader +1
}

menuentry "FreeBSD8.2 Chainloader" {
insmod ufs2
set root=(hd0,3)
chainloader +1
}

Somehow the n900 seems as obsolete already as the n770.  So has Nokia dropped 
support for it yet?

sshd_config and OpenPermit

[Jerome BENOIT]

Hello List,

I am trying to restrict ssh port forwarding to one port on my Squeeze box:
my current understanding is that I may play with the OpenPermit option in 
sshd_config.
By default OpenPermit is set to `any': if I set it to 127.0.0.1:12345 ,
I observed not restriction at all: all port can still forward.
On the otherhand, if I set  AllowTcpForwarding to `n' ,
then OpenPermit permits no port.

Do I miss something ?

Thanks in advance,
Jerome

CPU usage mysteriously spiking after kernel upgrade

[John Magolske]

After updating the kernel on my ThinkPad from linux-image-2.6.28-grml
to linux-image-2.6.31-grml I've noticed cpu usage periodically jumping
from 600MHz to 1500MHz several times a minute. This is with not much
going on but Vim, Mutt & ELinks running in a screen session in a
framebuffer console. Top shows nothing under the %CPU column...I don't
see anything pass much beyond 1%.

Any thoughts as to what could be causing this and/or suggested
techniques for determining the culprit would be much appreciated.

Regards,

John

Remove unused language from GDM?

[Perry Thompson]

Hi there. I use en-US and zh-TW (Chinese Taiwan) as locales on my
computer, and recently tried to do something with my fonts and replaced
my fonts.dtd file with another and tried logging in. The result was the
locale or fonts were incorrect and I was given "Unspecified
[ANSI-X3.4-1968]" as a choice in my languages bar.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c211/Rypervenche/GNULinux/xephyr.jpg

I replaced my fonts.dtd with the original file, however this option in
my language choice has not gone away. I would like to know how I can
refresh this list of languages or, if I must, manually delete the old
locale choice.

I have looked all over the place and haven't found anything relevant,
aside from this...
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c211/Rypervenche/GNULinux/CE.jpg

I'd appreciate any and all help on this subject. Thank you.

Mmmh, it does work after all. You have to be careful to restart
everything, I guess.

I've moved the --source to the SSH line. That works too but it seems
like I can only have 1 connection open at the same time. Sort of. I
have a reverse connection from a local server with a non-routable IP
to this public server. That works. But then I can't access the public
server anymore. If I kill the reverse connection and wait a few
minutes, I can login again. Switch the reverse connection back on ...
and I can't login anymore. Strange.

I had this issue.  It is a bug in the kernel that was introduced in the upgrade 
from 6.0 to 6.0.1.   It will likely be fixed in the upgrade to 6.0.2.

In the meantime you can go to http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/  to 
learn how to compile a "vanilla" kernel from kernel.orgI am now using 
2.6.38 and it fixed the issue.  

Or on second thought...

Backports now has the 2.6.38 available for squeeze.  Using backports will 
probably be easier, but it is up to you.

I installed Debian 6.0.1 yesterday on my PC ( IBM Thinkpad X40 ), but a problem 
occurs.
The mouse cursor telling me its position isn't displayed. I tried R-L click  or 
drug and then, some options and rectangle is appeared.
So I think this means there are mouse position but can't be seen. I guess it is 
a problem related to graphical hardware device.
Is there anyone who gives me some advice to display my mouse cursor. 
  

Firewall/iptables question

[Hilco Wijbenga]

Hi all,

I'm attempting to set up a simple firewall on a virtual server. I have
the following:

iptables --flush
iptables -t nat --flush
iptables -t mangle --flush
iptables --policy INPUT DROP
iptables --policy OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i venet0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i venet0 --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i venet0 --source m.y.i.p --dport 80 -m
state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -j LOG
iptables -A INPUT -j REJECT

(And iptables -L shows that this setup has been accepted.)

This was supposed to only allow my box (or at least my public IP)
access to port 80 on this server. I can not access port 80 at all,
however. (Please note that without --source it works as expected.)

What am I doing wrong?

On a related note, the logging only logs the packet, but no timestamp.
Is that configurable somewhere?

Cheers,
Hilco

No, Symbian is still actively developing.
They've just gone back to their original O.S. goals.
They were around before Nokia started splashing money around and still are.

My intention was to give an example of how the n810 does not run Debian.  
Debian certainly does have an armel nano package.

Certainly not!!  But I read what green said as a reference to the future.  It 
would appear that I was wrong to so interpret it.  I so read the "at this 
point":

" And at this point it seems unlikely that Debian will ever run on 
it."

We are reeling locally from the announcement of the closure of our local Nokia 
facility.  One of our LUG members will lose his job - and we shall lose a 
valued meeting place.  Trivial compared with Bob losing his job, but it is a 
really nice facility and I enjoyed going  there.

So I am probably seeing Nokia closures behind every bush.

I don't know mondorescue. To access lv from my rescue system (grml) I
use the following commands:
/sbin/vgscan
/sbin/vgchange -ay

This creates the /dev/mapper/ entries - and is what is done in debian's

yes, it's installed on my device also, but the problem is most of the
apps do not support rotating and are cut off...and some of the programs
could need some cosmetic work... ;)

but other than that there are really great features: 32GB storage
onboard, fm transmitter, acceptable camera and the device is quite
"open". no special rooting needed...

Re: Poll - What Smartphone do you use?

[Brad Alexander]

Ditto. Have an N900 and an N810. It is a brick, but small price to pay for a
hardware keyboard.

Have you looked in to the Community Seamless Software Update (CSSU) project?
It is community project that has taken over for Nokia's bundle of support
fail. One of the features of the CSSU is to provide rotation to most if not
all apps.

CSSU can be found on the Maemo wiki at http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU

I use a Nokia N900 running Maemo 5, my carrier is Proximus (Belgacom
mobile), Belgium.
Only major downside I experience is that it's not fully compatible with
my car kit. The car is recognized as a bluethooth headset, so I can take
calls, but need to use the phone to make any outgoing calls.
Unfortunately i doubt this will get fixed in the near future.

Steven

No.  The FreeRunner works on any GSM network.  I own a Neo 1973, though I 
never used it as my primary phone, as T-Mobile coverage where I am at is too 
spotty. The only other GSM provider is AT&T, who I'd prefer to avoid on the 
principle that they screwed the public once and will likely do it again ASAP.

Still, if you are with or can get good service from a GSM provider in the USA, 
the FreeRunner will work fine, and it's as open source as you get.

yes, some architectures do have more supported packages than others.
and, if we get debian on another platform without financial backing,
we're liable to have even less support. i'm not arguing against it. i
like playing with bleeding edge stuff - i won't run a device i depend
on like my primary phone on it. but, i might get a secondary one just
to play.

not sure if i've pointed these out, but there are these:
https://www.newit.co.uk/shop/products.php?cat=5

i'm probably going to use one for a rc vehicle / blimp (just gotta get
the ee / me stuff figured out)

If the n810 is lightyears ahead of other devices, that just accentuates how

Well frankly I do not even want to run vi.  I prefer nano for a handheld 
device.  And "apt-get install nano" fails with "couldn't find package nano".  
So I have to build it myself.  Wait, aren't we talking about running

0. (Unrelated to your problem)
If this is your only samba server, you might want to have
preferred master = yes
local master = yes
domain master = yes
os level = 65
in smb.conf to prevent master browser election

1. Does running "smblient -L 127.0.1.1" make a difference?

2. Does restricting the smb ports to either 139 or 445 with "smb ports
= ..."in smb.conf make a difference?

3. Does "testparm -s" flag any problems?

4. Does "pdbedit -Lv" out output the users that you want to have in
samba? Are the samba users' passwords the same in the system and for
samba?

I guess if you have a smartphone you can always implement some kind of
encryption both on voice and on text (assuming the receiving party
does the same). But that'll make the battery last even less than the
usual day they last.

Treo, Palm, Verizon, US.

I still hate it after 4 years.

Kept it for the 2 year contract. Then started waiting for the right Android
so I could have Debian and because some of my favorite apps authors actually
anticipated the Palm-to-Android conversion and for helpers for it.

I started with Palm at the beginning and bought smart phones loaded with
Palm from the outset. Had a really good one from Verizon, so I upgraded to
the Treo when it died and began years of disappointment.

Now I want a simmed phone with no contract to boot at a  price that seems
reasonable for carrying a highly breakable electronic distraction in my
pocket.

Furthermore, legal issues are dawning. There is a case going into the Oregon
Supreme Court regarding search and seizure of cell phones by police.  Some
people point out that much of their most valuable communications records,
browsing records, travel records and more are on their pocket rather than in
their home.  Yet their smartphones are hard to impossible to secure while
being more subject to searches.

This issue will eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court. However, by then,
the technological specifics of the issues may be obsolete and already
replaced by new ones.

I am thinking of moving to the simplest, cheapest thing that is dependable
and allows one to turn off tracking--dumping even texting!

I have no idea what that is.

Well, there's the Openmoko Freerunner:

Re: KDE does not start any more

[Brad Alexander]

Though you did not state which release, it appears to be something similar
to my problems on my sid laptop. Please see the thread at
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user.kde/25539.

In my testing, I figure it is either KDE, QT, the kernel, or the nvidia
driver. I do not think it is KDE, since I originally upgraded to 4.6.2, but
had the same issue in 4.4.5 after rebuilding and upgrading to sid. I am
leaning toward the new nvidia drivers (260.19.44). Have a look at the thread
above and see if it looks like your situation.

Well, the actual situation is very interesting:

1. I can create the mondorescue bootable DVD from an lv and that, when 
booted, correctly creates the 'dev/mapper' entries under Squeeze.


2. But I cannot do that under Sid, the  'dev/mapper' enries are not 
created consistently...


3. Meaning, when I do a Debian install of Squeeze, upgrade that to Sid 
and start installing the complete system, initially mondorescue DVD's 
generate the 'dev/mapper' entries, but after a while they do not.


4. Until I have a mondorescue DVD that generates the 'dev/mapper' enries 
correctly and restore that to an lv. Then boot that lv and immediately 
run mondoarchive to generate another rescue DVD, and that DVD does *not* 
generate the 'dev/mapper' entries...


Prompting me to find out how those things are created...

I think that it's dmsetup - or a combination of dmsetup and udev.




Sure enough, from 'man dmsetup':

...
create
device_name [-u uuid] [--notable | --table  | table_file]

Creates a device with the given name. If table_file or  is 
supplied, the table is loaded and made live. Otherwise a table is read 
from standard input unless --notable is used. The optional uuid can be 
used in place of device_name in subsequent dmsetup commands. If 
successful a device will appear as /dev/device-mapper/. See 
below for information on the table format.

I expected a response like this. ;)

By "run Debian" I mean actually run Debian armel.  I have run Debian  
and a
linux-omap-2.6 kernel on the N810 in the past, but the battery  
drained fast,
no GPS, no X, couldn't read internal mmc, audio problems, etc.   
Basically,

"it didn't work".




So, what are currently the most "free" options out there? It doesn't  
have to be Debian -- heck, it doesn't even have to be Linux, as long as  
it's free as in freedom (or sort of).


I've been buying strictly Symbian for years, but with their "smart"  
leap through Windows, Nokia has lost another customer. So, what vendors  
should I be checking out if I want:


1. something free-ish *that works* (yep, including the camera, the GPS,  
the music player, even the memory card; too much to ask?)
2. a freedom-friendly vendor that offers low-end "dumbphones" too (for  
my kids and those who just need the occasional SMS, and don't want to  
carry a CRAY in their pocket)


Suggestions welcome.

I started with Knoppix, liked it, did the HD install. Was just fine.

Until I "discovered" upgrading and apt. While I still have a few Knopper-isms 
around, I can say I am running Sid. I would get rid of those few as they are 
no longer needed or functioning if I new how (dependency problems with Sid 
packages!).

Indeed.  sdc's original post could be considered to be a carefully-constructed
flame, but his subsequent reply clearly shows this is not the case.  I can't
think of any way that Michelle's message can be interpreted as constructive.

Re: xmodmap settings are forgotten/lost during session

[Wolfgang Karall]

Hello,

trying to investigate this further, I set up a Cron job running every
minute executing the following commands:

DISPLAY=:0.0 xmodmap > /dev/null 2>&1 && \
DISPLAY=:0.0 xmodmap -pke | grep -q F19 || echo xmodmap gone && \
DISPLAY=:0.0 xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap

I.e. I check whether my mapping for F19 is still and generate some
output to get an email from Cron every time the settings are gone,
reloading the settings in the last line. The first is just a check
whether there's actually a X11 session on the first DISPLAY.

And I get a regular pattern, exactly every 10 minutes my xmodmap
settings get flushed. Of course I searched for other Cron jobs, but to
no avail.

What else could reset my keyboard settings every 10 minutes? Or has
anyone an idea how to debug this further?

Cheers
Wolfgang

Yeah but all of this means your Nokia is light years ahead of any idevice or
Android of running linux. Some hardware might not work but you can still
have a custom linux kernel and run linux apps.

For instance, I can ssh into my box from my phone and open vi. You can get
vi and open it on your n800.

Ps- lisi are you inferring that products that are no longer manufactured
should not be supported by the open source community? I truly hope not.

By "run Debian" I mean actually run Debian armel.  I have run Debian and a

Try with "alsamixer" (tab to "capture") and check if the mic is listed

Yes.  But now that Nokia is throwing its lot in with MS, and closing down many 
of its software development facilities, and symbian is already dead, that is 
all likely to change, and is probably what green meant.  So on this  
particular occasion it is probably you who should Google!

Are you running wheezy?

I've seen a similar case this week (all of a sudden, mic stopped from 
working) that required the installation of "gstreamer0.10-gconf" but that 
package is only available for wheezy and the problem with the mic should 
be only reproducible under testing.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, running Android 2.1, but 2.3 promised by SE.

I guess that Ubuntu applies many patches on their own packages and also, 
LTS releases should have not-so-up-to-date kernel version.

What I mean is that, regardless of the distribution, having an updated 
kernel solves many issues, mostly related to hardware detection/problems.

Squeeze has kernel 2.6.32 and Knoppix 2.6.36/2.6.37¹ so that's a 
difference.

What? Might want to Google again. IIRC, Nokia's phones were the closest
to linux 5+ years before Apple or Google ever thought of making a phone. The
n7xx, n8xx and n9xx should run most (if not all?) linux programs that can be
compiled on an ARM.

IIRC, OS2008 was a port of debian.

Also, even symbian has Unix roots as I remember an old defcon or bh talk
where the guy was explaining how they had implemented an old kernel with
tons of known vulnerabilities.

Do you mean KNOPPIX discovers more hardware than debian, or KNOPPIX shows
the hardware recognition process in a more user friendly way?

I used like Palm Treo, but Palm discontined palmos phone a while ago, so
I stay with Nokia 1209 dumbphone. It is small, it has long standby time,
its battery is widely used in many Nokia phones, as well as other
devices, including handheld radio and GPS, a nice feature if u own or
plan to own such devices, also almost guarantee the spare battery can be

I would assume there is some good reason involving licences. But Knoppix
is available to anyone, and I would expect other Debian users will do
what I do, and run Knoppix (and Ubuntu) on problematic hardware, to see
what is necessary for it to work with standard Debian.

Both distributions are very useful troubleshooting tools, because they
are so close to Debian (it's not much help to know that a bit of
'difficult' hardware works with Windows), and I have kept one of the
last CD versions of Knoppix for use on older machines which do not have
a DVD drive. While it isn't explicitly a 'rescue' distribution, it does
have most, if not all, of the necessary tools.

Knoppix can be installed to a hard drive, but that is not recommended,
and I can confirm it is unmaintainable. You throw it away and install
the next version. Some people claim this is also necessary with Ubuntu.

Probably the Nokia N810 does not count, considering it is not GSM or CDMA

it.

No, I disagree.  As Hans-J says, I have always found that Knoppix is

Er , as far as my know , we usually chainload the BSD Unix . I'm using
FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 in
my desktop and Squeeze , Mandriva 2010.2 ，  and the bootloader is
grub2 shipped with  Squeeze.
the problems are：
1) os-probe cannot probe Mandriva **corrently **, which means it does
probe Mandriva (kernel panic),but not correctly .
 (here there is bug report and the patch
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=566102).
Maybe it applys to Slackware?
2) I use chainload to boot the FreeBSD , and os-probe cannot probe
FreeBSD ,either.

Wow. It logs just fine. So in the end there must be something with

It's not, unfortunately.  You'll need to use mac-fdisk to partition
the disk correctly.  This will let you create an Apple_Bootstrap
partition of the correct size.  For some reason the Apple disk
utility deliberately hides these "special" partitions!

The first three numbers are the same for every box on my lan, so easy to 
remember.  So additionally I only need to remember 1 (the router), 2 (my 
desktop), 3, 4, etc.  Easy numerical names.

Knoppix and debian

[Hans-J. Ullrich]

Hi all,

just a simple question: I discovered the hardware recognition on the KNOPPIX-
DVD is very good. 

Is this a personal development by Klaus Knopper? Is it also used by debian? 
And if not, why not?

Greetings

Hans

What is this Apple Bootstrap thing of which the installer speaks?

[annathemermaid]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello!

So, I was trying to install Debian on this old iBook, and
apparently yaboot wants an Apple Bootstrap partition of a
particular size. I don't see a way to create such a thing in the
partitioner, and I would think it is something Mac OS X ought to
have created? Unfortunately, the Mac OS X partitioner really isn't
that powerful.

Thanks!

KDE does not start any more

[Hans-J. Ullrich]

Dear list, 

since my last upgrade KDE4 is starting any more.
As I am starting KDE from KDM, KDE is starting, then the splash screen 
appears. After the third icon of the splash screen appears for millisecond, 
KDE is crashing, X is resetting and KDM is restarted.

Any other WM like LXDE, FVWM, XFCE and so on are working fine.

Where can I look? Which are the logfiles, where I should look? /var/log/syslog, 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/kdm.log did not help much.

I also created a new user, to get a fresh  ~/.kde, and I also tried another 
graphics driver (nv instead of nvidia).

My system is debian/testing, kernel 2.6.38-2-686 and the proprietrary nvidia 
driver (version 173xx-dkms).

Any ideas, how to have a clearer look, what is happening at start of KDE?

Thanks for the help!

Best regards

Hans

The information you've given is very sparse. First of all I guess you're
talking about youtube.com and sister sites, right?

Which browser do you use and which version?
Do you use the gnash plugin or the non-free flashplugin and in which version?
Do you use a browser from a thrid party repository with HTML5?
Maybe pin down, with tools like top, if there's a process  and if yes which one,
consuming a lot of resources while playing a video?
Which video cards do you have and which driver do you use?

Are you chainloading LiLO from GRUB2 or are you directly booting 
Slackware from GRUB2 (and thus bypassing LiLO)? Whatever it be, test with 
the opposite.

The dependencies issue you met is a check made by apt. It is possible
that the package dependencies do not reflect the real dependencies
(libraries etc) of the binaries, merely the versions available in Wheezy.

Also the Squeeze xserver is quite recent and it would be unexpected for
a video driver to not support it.

It is not too difficult, but it is not risk-free, and it's best to stick
to Stable, if you can, for this and other reasons.

Anyway, I will see if I can build a Squeeze package for you, but it will
take a few days.

to be uninstallable with the new perl. The release team will be
scheduling binNMUs in due course; in the meantime, if you find such a
package, there is _no need to report a bug against it_. The rebuilds will
take a little time, so please be patient in the meantime.

The list of affected packages is available at

I've always tended to treat mailing lists as newsgroups. So I drop them
into my local news subsystem and read them with tin. Thread killing is
"permanent" (i.e. if you kill a thread then it stays dead no matter how
many new messages arrive for it). I suspect that this approach and mutt
give similar results.

Yes. it's from the source... by aptitude.

How to modify the dependencies? you mean, modify the *.dsc? or

But I did meet the dependencies issue and seems not simple skip over.

I consider (and hesitate) to update to the wheezy but I also worry I
can't handle it.

multiboot grub2

[consul tores]

Hello

i have a Laptop with Squeeze, OpenBSD-amd64-4.9, and
Slackware64-13.37: and it is using grub2 as bootloader, (if i use
lilo, it works correctly, but i want to evade bios check) grub2 can
not recognize OpenBSD (what is not a problem), and it recognize
Slackware, but can not start it. it only gets a simple panic. i have
tested the Slackware installer dvd (kernel), successfully.
Looking/playing inside /etc/grub.d, do not do any change! Slackware
lilo is installed at sector 0 of Slackware partition.

Could somebody tell me where could i see, please? or what could i do?
