Re: Samba
Olá Alex. Partições FAT32 não suportam restrição de acesso. Portanto, não dá pra preservar as informações de usuário e modos de permissão dos seus arquivos em outras partições. O que dá pra fazer, é na hora de montar passar as permissões que vc deseja para os arquivos, mas elas serão as mesmas para todos os arquivos da partição. Use as opções uid e umask para montar a partição (no fstab ou direto na linha de comando).

That's nice. Submit patch or piss off. overall totally outdated and useless versions of libraries and software. http://www.backports.org/ Sorry you couldn't be bothered to ask questions or learn about Debian while you were on the mailing list. You probably should have subscribed sometime before you decided to stop using Debian. I then tried to figure out how to update those packages i need in recent versions. As i know KDE from Solaris, i trust enough in their own QA procedure to consider their 3.2.1 stable enough for usage. Why debian believes KDE 2.0 is more stable, or even usable at all, is beyond my understanding. Because KDE2 is usable. However it turned out that i could not update only selected packages easily. In fact neither of dselect or apt-get seemed to have a method to do this in a sensible way. Because you're probably asking it to install incompatible versions of software, or failing to judiciously use --force-something. Now it MAY well be that i am just an idiot who is not capable of doing this, however i asked in a few linux related channels and also at work, noone could tell me how to set up a half-way decent debian without compromising the pkg system. Sure many told me to build it all by hand but then, without the packaging system what good is debian? The configuration is still sane even without the package management. You don't have to use some distro-specific tool to set things up. It's the only distro that runs on 13 architectures. You can install Debian on a 386 with 16MB of RAM and 100MB of disk and *still* have space for /home. 3rd party Debian packages, even packages for other .deb-based distros, Just Work(tm) in other Debian-based distros. What more reasons do you need? I hope that whoever is responsible for the direction debian is steering to currently thinks about the target of the whole distribution, which is to provide users with a decent linux system that comes stable, yet with all neccessary parts to be competetive among other distributions. We have thought about the direction. That's why Debian is the fastest growing distribution out there.

Except unstable fairly regularly does break. It's not meant for production, it's what the Debian Developers are currently working on. I've been using Sid on my desktop system for years with only a couple glitches over that time period (requiring not apt-get updateing for a few days 'til it sorted itself out). I'm sure there are a number of suggestions forthcoming - latest maybe.

RAID performance
Hi there, I am about to upgrade my file server, and have a question for you good people :-) I will be installing 4 120gb EIDE ATA133 drives, would I get better performance by mounting each one individually, or by RAID0ing them? Backup is taken care of, so redundancy is not a problem, also I will be using ext3 (unless someone can suggest something better, but that's all I have experiience of). The file sizes are small to medium in general, but some are over 1 - 2gb (not many). Cheers, Pete. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Upgrading kernel to 2.4.18
Hi folks, Thanks for thesuggestion on the kernel. I could not go online under Linux to download anything until the modem is configured in. I just realise that the cd I have comes with kernel-source-2.4.18. So I carry out the steps for upgrading. Was really glad to discover that it supports ppp on Ethernet eventhough experimental only. I went through menu config, buildpackage etc, everything works fine all the way to the end with any error. But I could not reboot the system to the new version. Error msg : fsck.ext: No such file on the system while trying to open device. the superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem...

It's still turned off, and I can't see any mention of anything fb in XF86Config-4 -- so I don't know how I could disable this and just see what happens. The longer story: Last afternoon I went to fetch a single package (mt-st) when aptitude notified me that several packages were due for uninstall as nothing depends on them anymore. While I was a little astonished why this happened without me having uninstalled any package recently, I nonetheless gladly took the offer. As far as the package names made any sense to me at all, it was stuff I never wanted. Next thing I know, X becomes dead slow. I was able to leave gracefully, but saving the open mail message in evolution took some minutes... all attempts to fix and restart X have since failed. Apparently at least one of the packages whose names told me nothing was vital, and I should not have allowed removal. Trying to fix things, I found some oddsends regarding DRI, and xfs was not installed. For all I know, both could have been the case for quite some time: DRI is not necessary, and there were enough font paths to work without xfs. One thing still open is the configured/generic mouse -- debconf insists on writing both devices to the config, although the generic mouse will fail to work -- but it was like that even before the trouble started. I'm writing this from a half-configured sarge install I did months ago; I have evolution installed but not openoffice, and don't dare to update this system for fear of wrecking it as well. Anything that will give me my old system back will be great. cu, Schnobs And being an ardent user of mondo you did a mondoarchive before you started playing with aptitude... ;-) Hugo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

LILO -- how to get it to boot another distro on another disk?
Hey all, I've been whining about this on #debian, and my initial problem got solved thanks to the help I got there. So, what I have is: * Debian, as my main system, on /dev/hda * Fedora, which I installed yesterday as a test system, on /dev/hdb, with its /boot-partition as /dev/hdb1 and its root partition as /dev/hdb3 lilo.conf contains this: image=/mnt/fedora/boot/vmlinux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl initrd=/mnt/fedora/boot/initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img label=Fedora append=root=/dev/hdb3 Basically, all should be well, and it is, accept, after running /sbin/lilo, this: Fatal: Kernel /mnt/fedora/boot/vmlinux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl is too big I can imagine that the stock Fedora kernel contains lots of drivers I don't need, but how, then, do I go about booting it? The LILO manual tells me te recompile and get rid of unneeded drivers, but if I can't boot into Fedora, how can I recompile a kernel for it to use? Something else that came to mind, was to just boot the kernel I use with Debian, but then I'd have to use the modules of that, too -- which seems strange, since I would have to provide the root partition of Fedora to get Fedora running. Could anyone please give me a clue? I know most of my problem is caused by a lack of understanding, but still, I was hoping someone could help me out here, since reading the manual doesn't enlighten this tiny brain of mine. To make things clear: I don't really care what boot loader I'm using; if GRUB would be a solution, that's OK. I'd just like to be able to run both systems when starting my computer...

lost mouse functionality in 2.6.x kernel upgrade
I've tried upgrading to the 2.6.x kernel on my Debian Sid system a couple of times now, but each time I boot into the gui with the new kernel, I lose all mouse functionality. In other words, no matter what I do to the physical mouse, the cursor on the screen will not move: it just stays stuck there in the middle. This is just a regular old ps/2 mouse. I've upgraded several 2.4.x kernels and never had any mouse problems. I do have gpm installed, and the configured mouse in XF86Config-4 points to /dev/gpmdata. So far, I've tried commenting out the generic mouse section of XF86Config-4 which, as I understood, is meant to enable USB mice (which I don't have) and its corresponding entry in the ServerLayout section. But that did not resolve the problem. I'm currently trying to use the 2.6.4 kernel. Can anyone help me to resolve this problem?

beep story
Hi Debian! I just noticed the beep package. It makes your PC speaker beep with frequency and duration as variables. Is there a way to find out how long a Debian package has been around? I fiddled with this years ago and ended up with a beeper that could do just that: the idea copied from a window$ program. Until... Backstreet Ruby disabled the speaker because of the way the kernel packages it: the former changes the way keyboards are read by the kernel, so no more speaker. So... I wrote a NAS beeper, that does the very same thing but uses the Netword Audio System for sound. Which has a peculiar problem that it queues sounds. So if one cannot be played for some reason, none thereafter get played either and the program calling NAS waits. So I had to invent processes that would wait instead and not the program that wanted a beep... Result: yet another working beep. I have a NAS version of vcstime that does marine chimes and warns when the ISP connection got killed. I liked the speaker version better, but you can't have everything...

Re: When a release is ready. (was Re: Re: Debian has turned unusable.)
On Mon, Apr 12, 2004 at 08:47:59PM -0400, Chris Metzler wrote: So I would guess that there's some set of target properties that testing should have before it gets frozen that gets decided upon, e.g. the next release must include a 2.4 kernel by default with a 2.6 kernel optional, the new installer, XF86 v4.3, exim4, GNOME 2.2 or higher, etc. Whatever else is true about testing, and even if the release-critical bug count is zero, the release won't be made until these changes in the distro have been effected, since otherwise it isn't different enough or interesting enough to put out there as a new stable release. And I wonder how those goals are chosen, and where one goes to find out what they are. Probably an archive search of debian-devel would do it; but a better-publicized source (e.g. a page on the Debian website) might be a good idea. If the user community had a clear idea what the major issues for each new release are, they'd know the particular packages/services to concentrate on playing with and filing good bug reports about and so on -- thus perhaps helping to speed up the release. I know that a major focus of this release is the new installer, and that right now that's the main thing people should focus on to help the release get out. But earlier, I dunno what else I should have been installing and hammering on to help the release along. I could probably find it in debian-devel's archives; but maybe a page off the Debian front page (Minimal Goals for the Next Release) would be a good idea. Personally I'd rather see much more time-based releases once we've got a reliably-updated installer post-sarge, but hey ... The real reason that there's little in the way of information here is that it could be reduced to a trivial page looking a bit like this: _ _ _ _ | ___(_)_ __ (_)___| |__ | |_ | | '_ \| / __| '_ \ | _| | | | | | \__ \ | | | |_| |_|_| |_|_|___/_| |_| _ _ |_ _| |__ ___ | | | '_ \ / _ \ | | | | | | __/ |_| |_| |_|\___| ___ __ _ _ |_ _|_ __ ___| |_ __ _| | | ___ _ __| | | || '_ \/ __| __/ _` | | |/ _ \ '__| | | || | | \__ \ || (_| | | | __/ | |_| |___|_| |_|___/\__\__,_|_|_|\___|_| (_) Everything else is so far behind that goal that it isn't funny. It's been in every release update posted to debian-devel-announce for the last couple of years. There are minor bits and pieces, sure, but in reality as soon as the new installer's really and truly ready for prime time (which, finally, is a goal that's in sight) we'll be going straight into freeze mode. We (the release management team) have begun putting together better ways to disseminate release targets, but I don't expect them to be decent until we've got sarge out of the way. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

A backported top program and other ways reveals that the system is running fine in hyperthreaded mode (simulating 4 processors). I have tried to install the 5336-pkg1 both with the nvidia-installer and with the make install from source. Both ways will not allow the driver to run due to an unresolved reference to smp_num_cpus. I have already tried all the options available to for the installer to recognize the correct source directory.

fullscreen movie playback blurry: nvidia or TFT?
Hi, I have experienced something weird while playing a movie. It's independent of the player (mplayer/ogle/xine) or the format (DVD/avi/mpeg). When the movie is played in a normal window, nothing is wrong, but when switching to full screen mode, the movie looks 'blurred' (can be best compared with playing PAL DVD's which are badly deinterlaced). Same effect occurs when I resize the window close to full screen width. Strangely, this only seem to be a problem for resolution 1280x1024 (don't know about higher ones), but when zooming X (ctl+alt++) to 1280x960 (works best) or lower, the effect is gone. Some important details: NVidia GF2 (ABIT GeForce2 Ti4200 Siluro) latest nvidia kernel driver (5336), self compiled TFT iiyama ProLite E431S, using the DVI interface When I connect my TFT to the D-SUB out of the video card and the D-SUB in of my TFT (both card and TFT have both interfaces), the effect is also gone. So, where lies the problem? Is it the nvidia card that produces bad output to the DVI interface in 1280x1024? Is it the nvidia driver? Or is it my TFT? The last doesn't sound reasonable. Any input on this? Thanks, Sebastiaan -- English written by Dutch people is easily recognized by the improper use of 'In principle ...'

Re: LILO -- how to get it to boot another distro on another disk?
* [Tue 13 April 2004 15:47] Monique Y. Mudama [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I can imagine that the stock Fedora kernel contains lots of drivers I don't need, but how, then, do I go about booting it? The LILO manual tells me te recompile and get rid of unneeded drivers, but if I can't boot into Fedora, how can I recompile a kernel for it to use? Couldn't you d/l the redhat kernel source (if you want to use the redhat specific stuff), compile it on debian, then just mount the redhat drive in debian and copy the kernel over? Hm. Why is it always other people that can think of elegant solutions? I'll give it a go. I guess it should work... Thanks!

RE: Debian has turned unusable.
Hello, I'm new to the Debian community, but I have used RedHat for about 8 years, and Gentoo for almost two. I must say, Debian is quite good compared to these other distro's. Perhaps RH is more stable than Sid/Sarge, but there is NO way to install a base system from a RH CD. The smallest install I was ever able to get was over 450MB and included LOTS of extras that I really didn't want. I see lots of people advocating Sid(unstable) as a desktop, but shouldn't people who are not developers/maintainers gravitate to Sarge? Isn't testing/debugging Sarge supposed to be a priority? Also, since packages automatically drop into sarge from Sid after 10 days (unless there is an unresolved issue), you are likely to get all the great new apps that you want, but without someone dropping in a new, buggy version by mistake. Also, this would make more bug reports get filed against Sarge, which would help to progress it to the next stable. I realise that I have written these in a somewhat argumentative form, but read them as questions. As I said, I'm new here ( 3 months ), but I have read up as much as I can find on the releases and the procedures for advancement. I have used Sarge for about 6 installs now (including upgrade from Woody and the new installer), and I'm very pleased with it's performance and package features. I used Woody for my file server (which now has a local Debian Mirror!), mostly because I don't care about the desktop on it, and I like to have the security patches, but I have Sarge running on two laptops, three desktops and a DB server. Also, I'm running Kernel 2.6.3 with the proprietary Nvidia driver and VMware Workstation on my work laptop. I note this because these things were exceptionally problematic on other distros, but were cheezy-eazy on Debian. --JATF -Original Message- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Monique Y.

Re: keybindings
On 2004-04-13, Daniel Asarnow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My keyboard is a little messed up. There is no / and ? key. What happened was that the key was acting strangely and so I removed it. The little rubber nipple under the key was flipped. I tried to flip it over but eventually it just ripped. Now, that key has no button over it and I use the / on my keypad and copy/paste ?s. When I boot the computer, there is a string of beeps caused by the no-longer-extant slash key entering itself until I press any key. What I would like to do is remap the keys so that my now useless windoze logo key functions as a / and ? key. I'm not sure how to do this, and have only been able to find information on remapping keys in emacs, which I don't use (and ?s are useful in things other than text editors). For X, there is xkeycaps (it's also the name of the debian package) and xmodmap (installed by xbase-clients), install it and read the documentation. I am not aware of anything like xkeycaps for the console, but you can always edit /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz by hand, which is what I ended up doing with my laptop keyboard. Research what each keypress gets translated as with showkeys --keymap (showkeys works *only* in the console, not under X). Save your file somewhere and do loadkeys kmap-file. When you are happy and nothing is broken (you don't want to end up with a kernel which boots up an unusable keymap!), you can copy it to /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz, and then remember doing dpkg-reconfigure console-common and select the don't touch keymap option (or something like that), otherwise each update of console-common will overwrite your custom keymap.

I fiddled with this years ago and ended up with a beeper that could do just that: the idea copied from a window$ program. Until... Backstreet Ruby disabled the speaker because of the way the kernel packages it: the former changes the way keyboards are read by the kernel, so no more speaker. If your using a 2.6.x kernel there is now a config option to enable/disable it. Maybe thats why yours isn't working (?). It's under 'Input Device Drivers' and is called CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR I also use the speaker to signal when my PPP conection goes down and it took me awhile to find that is was now part of the kernel config.

Severe network slowdown
Hi there, Since I've been trying to compile a kernel, I've been having troubles of extreme network slowdown. Network throughput drops form megabytes/s to kilobyte/s on a 100Mbit network. It happens a seemingly random time after I've booted. It's not the network and it's not the nic. I've checked that. It must be the kernel. It's a standard 2.4.25 kernel configured almost the same as the woody 2.4.18-bf24 kernel. Does anybody have any idea what might be the cause? I have no idea where or how to start looking.
