Re: Random System Crashes
Hello, System lock ups are most likely related to some hardware interfacing problem. Look at the drivers you have installed, and remove them from the kernel.

Doug, On the back of a typical IDE drive, between the power and data connectors, there is a double-row configuration header; it looks just like the data connector, except it typically has only four sets of pins. One or more shorting jumpers are plugged onto the pins in order to configure the drive as master, slave, or cable-select. And one pair of jumpers provides a 32Gbyte clip, so that the BIOS thinks that the drive is smaller than it really is. The jumper doesn't change the physical characteristics of the drive; it simply deceives the BIOS. Somewhere on the label of the drive, the manufacturer should have provided a diagram or a table showing which pins to jumper for the various configuration options. If not, then you need to check the web site of the manufacturer for a diagram or table. When installed, a jumper "shorts" or "bridges" a pair of pins. The jumper has a plastic body and a gold-plated brass insert; it is about 6 mm long, 2.5 mm wide, and 5 mm high. A new drive typically ships with at least two jumpers. Sometimes an extra pair of dummy pins provides a place to "park" a spare jumper. The same type of jumper is used on the back of CD-ROM drives. So if you need a jumper and there is not a spare jumper on the drive, look around for an old disk drive or an old CD-ROM drive.

okay, that's much better than Mike Bird's
for i in $(eval echo {1..$TEST})
in that it's much clearer, to my eye, what's happening.

Just to clarify, do you mean that the cdrom (the $1 or so disc) or do you mean that it damanged the drive itself (the $50-100 drive)? Since the drive has a laser, I can see that a bad app/driver could point that thing at the wrong spot on the disc and wreck it.

The thing is when I use a download accelerator (parallel downloads) to download say eclipse ornetbeans. My download speed is more or less alright(100-150KBytes/sec). So I guess maybe I'm just fighting it out with with people doing lots of p2p. There doesn't seem to be a nice way of integrating apt-get with axel.

Fine, I understand that. They can host advertisements on their Web pages and on the project pages they create, that's not my gripe. But to shove it into the developer emails is absurd. Where are they going to start mucking around in next? And since they have sole control of the CVS/SVN repositories AND they've obviously cozied up to MS, that opens a nice gateway into planting patented code into some high-profile projects. Before someone says, "They'd never do that!" Do you think MS cares one whit about Sourceforge other than to destroy it?

Andrew,
This I why I use phthon for such scripts. Its much prettier.
[UNTESTED, but enough to point you in the right direction]
I added a sample sanity check.
#! /usr/bin/python
import os
try:
TEST_env = os.environ['TEST']
except KeyError:
print "TEST environment variable not set"
os.exit()
try:
TEST = int(TEST_env)
except ValueError:
print "TEST environment variable not an integer"
os.exit()
# do whatever other sanity checks you want.
### without sanity checkes, this would be:
# TEST = int(os.environ['TEST'])
for i in range(1, (TEST + 1)):
print i
###
### Without sanity checks and a one-liner:
for i in range(1, (int(os.environ['TEST']) +1)): print i

Hmm... that was on a sarge system, with bash 2.05b-26; on a sid box,

I don't see the {1..3} construct in bash(1), so not sure how it's working
for you in the first place. Brace expansion is a different animal,
not applicable to what you're doing. But that was on sarge... On sid,
the construct is described (26% into the manpage):
A sequence expression takes the form {x..y}, where x and y are either
integers
or single characters. When integers are supplied, the expression expands
to
each number between x and y, inclusive. When characters are supplied,
the
expression expands to each character lexicographically between x and y,
inclu-
sive. Note that both x and y must be of the same type.
I think this is to taken at face value, and the parameters have to be
integers (or characters), and not variables which would expand to same.
I'm not a bash basher, but the language has its share of quirks (and
then some). I've been pushing at it quite a bit, though, and there's
a lot you can get done using bash.

Maybe the for loop would be appropriate?

First, the arithmetic expression expr1 is evaluated according to the
rules described below under ARITHMETIC EVALUATION. The arithmetic

From man bash:
Brace expansion is performed before any other expansions, and any char‐
acters special to other expansions are preserved in the result. It is
strictly textual. Bash does not apply any syntactic interpretation to
the context of the expansion or the text between the braces.

I'd choose .deb over source myself, but that's my preference. There are a couple issues that plague me that I haven't bothered to pursue yet -- the app borks if it runs out of storage space and has to be restarted, and sometimes I lose one of my three cameras, but a lot of those issues may be a flaky driver and a lack of really good USB busses on the machine.

cdrecord vs. wodim again
hi all and *especially jörg s., long-term initiator of cdrecord and cdrtools*. two weeks ago i asked on this list 'what is better': cdrecord or wodim. on one of the responses i answered that the most recent version of cdrecord/cdr-tools completely damaged two brandnew cdrom's. jörg asked me for more info: and here comes some. 1. only one cd/dvd-burner om my machine produced this undesirable effect. a couple of other burners worked flawlessly with the most recent bêta of jörg sch. so it could be that jörg did not make this beta recognize this burner: see /dev/hdb (from dmesg |less): hda: MAXTOR STM3250820A, ATA DISK drive hdb: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7173A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 Probing IDE interface ide1... hdc: ST3120026A, ATA DISK drive my machine: ($lspci -v) 0:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

I don't know if any of the repositories are capped, but depending on when you do stuff, they may just be getting hit pretty hard. There are lots of variables in the transaction and it'd be hard to pin down much beyond those things *you* have control of -- local network settings, choice of repo, etc. there used to be an app called apt-spy that would test the repos and find the fastest one for you, but i *think* its dead ATM.

I've never run a web server but I do use ssh a lot. Could you use putty from Windows to run ssh? Can it forward X somehow to Windows (never used a recent windows)? If I was doing this remotely from a unix/linux box, I'd run ssh -X and run a web browser on the local (webcam) box and have it display on my remote box. I don't know if windows can do this. This would permit the remote 'pull' with full security. As for having the webcam app mail you notice of motion, it could just email you the picture too.

All the major frontends check the signature of the Release file when you download package lists from the archive. The Release file contains a cryptographic checksum for the Packages file, which contains checksums for each individual .deb package. dpkg performs no key checking, at least on packages in the Debian archive. There was some experimental code to stick embedded signatures into .deb files, but I don't know what it's status is and packages containing signatures aren't allowed in the archive last I heard.

cdrecord vs. wodim again
hi all and *especially jörg s., long-term initiator of cdrecord and cdrtools*. two weeks ago i asked on this list 'what is better': cdrecord or wodim. on one of the responses i answered that the most recent version of cdrecord/cdr-tools completely damaged two brandnew cdrom's. jörg asked me for more info: and here comes some. 1. only one cd/dvd-burner om my machine produced this undesirable effect. a couple of other burners worked flawlessly with the most recent bêta of jörg sch. so it could be that jörg did not make this beta recognize this burner: see /dev/hdb (from dmesg |less): hda: MAXTOR STM3250820A, ATA DISK drive hdb: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7173A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 Probing IDE interface ide1... hdc: ST3120026A, ATA DISK drive my machine: ($lspci -v) 0:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

I installed the linux tarball (as a non-priveleged user, and to a non-standard location under $HOME, to minimize pollution), and dropped the plugin (nppdf.so) into $HOME/.mozilla/plugins (I'm using IW), which was enough for the website to accept my system as having Acrobat installed. I assume it was the plugin that did it, since I doubt there were any heuristics that could have found the files I installed under $HOME/some_location. Oddly enough, when I try to download PDFs from the institution's site, the plugin doesn't pick them up, although IW recognizes them as "PDF documents", and "about:plugins" shows Acrobat as being installed.

Gnome delete user
Background: Two Etch installs literally accross the street from each other with different owners. Mixed up my notes and installed a user account from the first on the second. The Gnome user manager tool won't remove the home directory (I don't know if that's the only thing it won't remove). I would really like to completely remove the user before adding the correct one so I can show the owner a GUI way of doing it. BTW, "completely" means not a speck or trace of the removed user left. Question: Is there what might be called an "industrial strength" GUI user manager tool that will remove a user as though it never existed?

P-II ASUS box won't boot another drive
Hello all, I bought an 8 GB drive for my P-II so that I don't have to scrimp so much when installing (see previous theads). I also found a 1.1 GB drive. The box used to have an 8 GB drive that died last year. This computer seems very picky over what drives it will actually boot. The origional 8 GB and the new 8GB drive are the same WD. The 1.1 GB is also a WD. Of the drives, it will only boot an 850 MB Quantum. I tried all the different geometry settings (NORMAL, LBA, LARGE) and reinstalled Etch and OpenBSD each time. No boots. Put in the 850 MB, install Etch, boots OK. Has anyone run into this before? My IBM PS/ValuePoint 486 will boot all of the drives no problem. As it is now, my 486 has the two WD drives so has lots of room for OBSD (since Etch won't install). Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

capping the apt-getting of packages from ftp.xy.debian.org to < 50KBps?
I seem to find it hard to get a decent speed for any of the ftp archive mirrors. I've tried using net-select but I rarely get over 50KBps and often get less than 30KBps (big B stands for bytes here!). I have considered using axel instead of wget with apt-get (to increase my download speed by downloading in parallel), but if debian is capping the download speed on its servers by this much then I would not like to "hammer" them by trying to circumvent the cap. I only have a couple of computers running debian so running a local mirror might be a bit overkill. Are downloads from the debian package archive capped? Is there an apt setting I may have missed? It could be my isp, but I'd like to rule these out before I spend a fortune on their tech support line. 8-) Thanks for any help or advice you can give me, Frank -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Andrew, Motion looks good; it has been a long time since I last looked at it. I now am printing out and reading the manual/wiki and the FAQ. To get started with motion, would I likely be OK with the Debian packages, which are 3.2.3 in the testing repository, or should I install the 3.2.8 release from SourceForge?
