OT: USB to Ethernet adapter in Debian, but in reverse configuration?
Using Google, I have found multiple USB to Ethernet adapters that work well with the Linux kernel. From what I understand the devices are designed for computers without network cards. Can these adapters be used in reverse with Debian? Can I send FLAC files over the ethernet cable that has the USB to ethernet adapter at the USB DAC? I have a stereo USB DAC in the living room and the desktop in the bedroom. So it would be USB DAC to USB-Ethernet adapter to 50 foot ethernet cable to network switch. The run would be a little over 40 feet. If I am not mistaken, that the maximum run of a USB cable is fifteen feet before you have to use a repeater. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

What's the history of this problem: Where does this particular installation come from? Has it always happened? I installed Etch and than upgraded to Lenny and Unstable together as I mentioned in the first email. It happens with recent version of xorg in lenny. I've tried to install unstable Xorg and it seems to be ok now, but it's soon to tell for sure. Hugo First, (and I'm sorry for say that) I think that if you want to avoid unnecessary problems you must stay in stable versions. But if you refuse to back to a stable version I must ask which computer do you have. Xorg is hardly connected with your hardware, for example I know about some problems with the driver of the pads in the NoteBooks. Second, I don't know which repository are you using, but I recommend to you, to use only one. Remove all the packages from Xorg and the packages related to the Xorg package. And finally install every think again. Sorry, but I think that if you want to work with a unstable version (I don't know why?) at least you must be sure that you are using only one repository. Xorg is a very complex and sensible project. After all this, I think that will be less difficult to help you.

Php & GD problem getting "captchas" to work
I am trying to get "captchas" to working on my Mediawiki installation, to use in conjunction with a guestbook. The author of the Mediawiki extension, which is written in php, says that the reason that the 'capchas' do not work is a problem with "certain distros" installation of php and certain features of GD. He does not elaborate. I have a out of the box installation of mediawiki, php5, and everything I can find that has 'gd' as part of it, all installed from testing and up to date. The entire system seems to be working fine with no tweaking, except this particular feature. Anyone here who knows php & gd or anyone with any experience with getting this to work. BTW: When this was installed from etch it all worked OK including the 'capchas' when I decided to set up a newer system on testing it does not. Thanks!!

My suspicion is there > is no such thing but i do want to confirm.. Just another guess at what you're asking about; perhaps the word "placed" was intended to be "replaced"; i.e., can you replace a line that you've just read? I think the general answer to that is "no", and the approach I've always taken (using Perl) is to write a new file, copying the old and adding new content, then rename and remove etc. when done. I haven't delved into the internals much, though, and maybe there's a way it could be done, but it hasn't been worth my time to do it. If you think about a file stored on disk, text files have an arbitrary structure defined by the end-of-line character(s). It seems like it should be possible to swap out characters in a line, but the line size would need to stay the same, perhaps using padding with spaces or something. Probably much more reasonably and conventionally doable with fixed-sized records, but if the need was there I don't see why it shouldn't be possible.

zeroconf?
Hello, after having got working my wlan-card with ndsiwrapper and WPA2 working I have a problem. After a while of working fine the wlan card disconnect from the network, especially when working without access to the internet for a while. (The card is used to connect to a DSL-router) The card is still present with fixed IP and wpa_supplicant is still running. The only difference I see is that route doesnt?t show the same things. The default gateway is only shown by IP while before it was seen by name (a DSL-Router). The logs do not show anything. I presume that avahi-autoip daemon is respsonible for that situation. I tried to swicht that off by disabling avahi-daemon at all. However, my eth0 (also present in the machine) still is configured by avahi-autoip (wlan0 doesn?t show autoconfiguration). I think this is the problem. Now my question: How can I switch off this dammed autoconfiguration of network cards in Ubuntu 7.10 which always changes my manual settings.

Re: "Waiting for root file system" problem
[This message has also been posted to linux.debian.user.] This is becoming a FAQ. There is a problem with udev. Before udev, there was a strong association between device names and devices. With udev, that association is much weaker. There's new randomness in how partitions are named during boot. Debian and other installers have not yet worked around this relatively new problem. What you're seeing is an effect of that. The udeb installer kernel got a different set of device names than the installed kernel did, and the root file system never appears where the installed kernel has been told it would. The workaround is to use file system labels or UUIDs not device names in /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst. But the Debian 4.0 installer doesn't know that.

So how did your spam solution fair? How many did you see in > your inbox compared to the potential amount? Well I'm in still in the dark as to how to resolve this problem with spam from mailing lists. The flood of spam has stopped, but one spam message got through the Debian filters today, so I am likely to be able to continue trying to resolve the problem, with the odd spam getting through the Debian filters from time to time. I have a separate mailbox for the Debian-user list, and when the spam flood was in full flow everything turned up in this mailbox, ham, and spam, so no spam from the Debian list was sent to the wastebin. I'm still working on finding a fix though. The way the ignorelist.db is supposed to work with bogofilter, is that you populate the ignorelist.db with headers from a genuine post from, for instance, the Debian list, then when you check your mail, bogofilter ignores the headers from mail sent from the Debian list, and turns it's attention to the body of the messages, and hopefully will separate the spam from the ham. As I say, I'm still trying to resolve the problem. I'll post back when I've fixed it. After all, it must be possible.

Not dhcp, but on my ppp dialup, here's the script with commets that I
have in ip-up.d:
8>--
#! /bin/sh
# ntp
# written by dtutty on 2007-01-19 since no default file is given
# ntp will continue to poll servers even when offline, increasing
# the delay to 1024 seconds.
# However, it doesn't have a way to know when the system is back on line.
# It will also only handle a large variance on initial start up.
# Therefore, whenever ppp goes online, ntp should be restarted.
/etc/init.d/ntp restart
## Note that there doesn't seem to be any reason to stop ntp when ppp goes
# down.
8>--
When dhcp gets a new IP, does it re-run pre-up and post-up commands
found in /etc/network/interfaces? See man interfaces(5) to see what I
mean. If so, put them there.
I don't use dhcp so I can't just read a man page to help further.

This is easy if you have enough free space. Create a temporary LV the same size the current one, put a new filesystem on it (with the correct resize option if necessary), then copy the data over using a method that doesn't change ownership, mtime, (and possibly atime if any scripts rely on that re cleaning out or backing up stuff). See the multi-disk HOWTO for some options. There's tar, rsync, cp -a (?). Once this is done and the system is running on the new filesystem and the old is unmounted, delete the old LV and extend the new one and resize the filesystem.

Well, I'm not sure when that feature was added to drives, so no not _all_ drives ever. However, anything with S.M.A.R.T. certainly would, and I would expect any drive over 1 GB to as well. If you ever actually _see_ bad blocks on a newer drive, that means that the drive has run out of spare blocks that it can remap. This means that the drive is toast. The big thing that a badblocks check does is it causes the drive to do a read/write attempt on every block. If there are badblocks and the drive remaps it, you won't see them. If it doesn't remap it, you may end up with a clean filesystem that you can retreive your data off. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The one time I thought I had a hard drive go bad and put it into another computer, it didn't get any errors on boot. I just fsck'ed it and it was fine. Turned out to be a hardware problem on the origional computer. My only experience with a laptop hard drive is on my IBM Thinkpad 600E. On that, you don't have to tear apart the unit: one screw releases a cover and you slide out the hard drive. So I've never actually needed dd_rescue so I don't know if it would be better. As long as its not worse, then just that. The important thing as I understand it is to get an image of the drive once then power off the drive. Do all your fixing on a copy of the filesystem image. Once you know what that needs, you can do it to the drive itself. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Where to report a problem with new 4.0r2 DVD images?
Hi people. Please, give me some help here. Where is the correct way to report a problem with new 4.0r2 DVD images? Let me explain what I found. First, it is not big deal, but in my case it is pretty annoing. Usually I use DVD images as a local repository. It is simple, just mount ISO DVD as loop device and offer contents using apache. It worked well on previous releases for main and contrib. But now images for DVD 2 and 3 have some missing files at dists/etch/contrib/binary-i386. Currently we only have Release file at DVD 2 and 3. Comparing with DVD 1 we have Release, Packages.gz and Packages. Because of that apt complains it cannot find Packages.gz for contrib and then break update process. Was that a fault or was intentional skip these files? Let me know. Thanks, Marcello. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Weird keymapping going on with VNC
I have a really weird issue going on with VNC. I am running Xvnc on Debian (provided by the vncserver package) and the RealVNC client on a Windows box. My X keymap is set to dvorak, as is my Windows one. I wish it were as simple as a double/triple application of dvorak going on (a problem that gets annoying enough as it is) but while that does appear to be happening too, it gets more convoluted. When I type "asdf" on the keyboard with both systems using dvorak, "azgm" shows up. If I switch to qwerty on the 'doze box I instead get "abfh." Now for the real fun. When I type "1234" in either case I get "90-=". Other notable deviations are that 5 behaves like backspace, and enter behaves like the spacebar. I am at a complete loss how to even begin fixing this. The numeric stuff makes it seem like 8 is being added to the keyboard scancodes somewhere, which would explain why 5 acts like backspace if keyboard scancodes are based on position instead of the ASCII chart. (I must admit my ignorance on the topic.) However, this idea does not make sense given that "a" registers correctly in every situation I have tried.

Well, there *is*, but you have to run an off-line program once (ext2prepare, in the ext2resize package first). The reason why that program hasn't been integrated into e2fsprogs is because I looked at the source code, and it was too scary for me to support. I used to tell people though that while *I* was too chicken to support it, as far as I knew no one had ever reported data loss, they'd have to decide on their own whether they felt comfortable using it. Unfortunately, a few months ago someone actually told me about ext2prepare corrupting their filesystem, so I can't say that anymore. I don't know whether the *single* report was due to hardware errors (and the person getting unlucky), or filesystem corruption that had been lurking on the filesystem that interacted extremely tragically with ext2prepare. So use ext2prepare at your own risk. YMMV. Past results do not indicate future returns, etc. If you only need to resize your filesystem once, you're better just doing an offline resize. - Ted P.S. New versions of e2fsprogs request the online resizing inode, so you don't need to specify -O resize_inode.

I needed to do this the other way, avi to 3gp, and had to download the latest ffmpeg from subversion as the debian-multimedia repository didn't have 3gp compiled in.

After the build you could try this if you're using GNOME (it just came up in my RSS feeds): http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1885 Winff is a frontend for FFMPEG. It will convert most any video file that FFmpeg will convert. WinFF does multiple files in multiple formats at one time. You can for example convert mpeg's, flv's, and mov's, all into avi's all at once. You need a fully enabled ffmpeg to make full use if winff. The screenshot shows 3gp but I've not tried it. It would be good to know how well it works... Thanks Mark, I will look into it. Your reply has been very helpful. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

So for reverse conversion you might need any one of these. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Problems scanning past LUN 7 during boot
Hi, I have a QLA2432 dual path fibre channel adapter connected with two links to a Hitachi SAN. I run Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch) with 2.6.18 (64-bit) kernel. Firmware is firmware-qlogic 0.4 from Debian stable repository (http://packages.debian.org/etch/firmware-qlogic). The driver version in the kernel I use seems to be: QLogic Fibre Channel HBA Driver: 8.01.07-k1. Now, my problem is scanning past LUN 7. I can see disks with LUN up to 7 just fine. Also I can manually add LUNS with this command: echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 8" >/proc/scsi/scsi echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 1 8" >/proc/scsi/scsi This adds LUN 8 on both links. But how do I add scanning past LUN 7 in a proper way so that its done during boot? I want to be able to reboot and get all LUNs scanned in time for LVM to be able to use all disks without manual intervention. I tried adding max_scsi_luns= as a kernel option in the grub setup, but it did not help. Any ideas? Bye, -- Anders. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
