Applying correct hdparm values after resuming from suspend
Hi list,
I'm using Debian Lenny with Laptop-mode tools that I've configured to manage my
laptop's hd, which is controlled by firmware that gives insane load cycle
values. Thus, I've enabled laptop-mode-tools and it currently applies a setting
of 254 (disabled) when running on AC and 128 (enabled and aggressive pm
settings) when running on battery. This works fine on boot, and when removing or
inserting the AC power. However, upon resume a setting of 128 is applied
regardless of the machine's powerstate.
I believe that laptop-mode is being restarted correctly since if I remove and
reinsert the AC cord the correct hdparm settings (254) are applied. My guess is
that something is also being re-initialized upon resume from suspend that is
over-riding laptop-mode-tools. In any event, I thought that the simplest fix for
this would be to add a script to /etc/pm/sleep.d/01-hdparm-power-check which
would do nothing if going to sleep, and if resuming would check whether the
computer was running on ac, and if so apply hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
My problem lies in this second part, as I'm not sure how to correctly do a
check, the rest of it I can steal from other scripts included under
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/
This is what I think 01-hdparm-power-check would look like:
=
#
#!/bin/sh
# Check to see if we are running on AC power, and if so,
# override mystery program overriding laptop-mode.conf
. "${PM_FUNCTIONS}"
if cat /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/C1AB/state = off-line || exit $NA
case "$1" in
hibernate|suspend)
;;
thaw|resume)
hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
;;
*) exit $NA
;;
esac
==
As you can see, I don't know much (anything) about bash scripting. Your advice,
assistance, criticism or concerns would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
AA
NOTE: I originally posted this to debian-laptop, but there does not seem to be
much traffic on that list. I have also tried posting this to Bart Samwell's
laptop-mode-tools waiting list, but there appears to be virtually no traffic there.

Firefox not showing in Applications menus
Hello. I have Firefox installed on my system (Debian 4.0), and today an update for firefox showed, and was installed using the system update system. With the recent problems with Iceape, I thought that I would try Firefox. Synaptic shows that I have Firefox 2.0.0.15 installed, but I can't find it in the Applications menus. I have looked in both the top level Internet menu, and in the Debian->Apps->Net menu, and in the Office menu (in case it got inserted in there), and the Other menu, but I cannot find Firefox. How do I run Firefox, if I cannot find it, and, why, when it is installed, and, updated by the orange star icon that shows updates are available, does it not appear in the Applications menus?

Re: Iceweasel freezes and iceape vulnerabilities and instability
On Fri, 11 Jul 2008, Jeff Soules wrote: that isallowed by Iceape, to take control of Iceape), Iceape opens multiple pop-up windows, and, if one of the pop-up windows is inadvertently, directly manually closed, the application crashes. Funny you mention this -- I don't think this is due to malicious code, because I have had a similar problem in IceWeasel, a crash when I closed a popped-out google chat window. I haven't seen a repeat of this so I don't know if it was a fluke, but it does seem that under certain circumstances which I can't yet elaborate, closing a popup will crash the browser. Okay - the web browser might not itself, contain malicious code, but, when attempting to close a tab, an unauthorised pop-up displays, and says something like "Are you sure you want to close this window? Click (in the unauthorised popup) to confirm/continue", that, to me, is a vulnerability/security risk, created by the browser's inability to block unwanted pop-ups. As a single example of this, open http://www.truthaboutabs.com/get-ripped-abs.html , then, try to close it, by simply clicking on the box with a cross in it, that is to close either a tab or a browser window. Unwanted pop-up appears! Malicious code! And, that the web browser does not allow me to mark and copy the text that is displayed in the unrequested popup window, is a concern in itself, as it is clearly allowing an external web site to take control of the system, in preventing me from marking and copying the text in the popup window. How are we to know whether these things contain malicious code that is written to spread malicious code or otherwise take control of the system? We should not have to go out to a console session, and use "ps -ax | grep iceape", then "kill -9 ", and kill all sessions of iceape, just to close a single, malicious tab, that is allowed by security breaches in the mozilla/firefox/iceape/iceweasel software. It is, to me, the web browser saying to the world, "Hey, everyone! here is some idiot's computer for you to gain unauthorised entry to and control over!". If the web browser is unable to block unwanted pop-ups, then we should not be misled by the browser, into thinking that it will block unwanted pop-ups that are a threat to system security. That in itself, is particularly disturbing - that we are misled by settings in the browser, that are supposed to protect us, that actually provide no protection. is that indicating that the web browser, does in fact contain malicious code, when it m,isleads the user into wrongly believeing that the user is protected from a particular security threat? That, I think, is a fair question. "Here is this special, new, armour plating compund, that will stop all bullet and armour-piercing projectiles. Just because it is actually just a roll of cling-wrap for food covering, does not mean that it will not protect your household from drive-by shootings." That is the nature of the option "Block unrequested popup windows", being an option to be set, that simply does not work. Whether that failing, is what causes the other instabilities (leading to the blank "untitled windows"), is something for the software maintainers to investigate, but, the software is insecure and deceptive, in falsely pretending to "Block unrequested popup windows". -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..

Debian sweetness: safe libimlib2
For the last few days, I've been wanting to install pypanel, but I didn't want to install a vulnerable version of the library onto my Ubuntu Hardy system because of CVE-2008-2426 ¹. This bug has been fixed upstream, but the fix hasn't made it into Hardy yet; however, I booted back into Debian, updated "aptitude," and what did I find? I found that this bug has been fixed in the "antiquated" version of libimlib2 (1.3.0.0debian1-4+etch1) in Etch, so I now have pypanel installed without fear. Ubuntu will evidently have to wait.

Building an i386 kernel on amd64 host with make-kpkg
I am trying to build a kernel for my i386 box on my amd64 host. I want to do this because the amd64 box build at least 10 times faster than the target box. I am using make-kpkg to build the kernel package. I am having the following problem: $ make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --arch i386 kernel_image /bin/sh: i486-linux-gnu-gcc: command not found make: *** [debian/stamp-kernel-conf] Error 2 $ I thought that gcc on an amd64 box can build 32-bit binaries without needing a separate cross compiler.

ABA's Brain Explorer
Hey all, I am trying to get Brain Explorer to work under debian etch kernel 2.6.18-5-686 plus wine 1.0 taken from the wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ repos within the last 24 hours. Brain Explorer is Windows/Mac-only and is provided freely here: http://www.brain-map.org/BrainExplorer/InstallBrainExplorer.exe ^ it's a 21 MB download for the installer. The installer works correctly. There's been reports on appdb.winehq.org suggesting it works: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=4490 http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6835&iTestingId=8789 http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7676&iTestingId=11049 Brain Explorer works under wine versions 0.9.29, 0.9.34, and 0.9.47 according to appdb. Under 1.0 there seems to be an odd bug that I can't isolate or verbalize for that matter, so here's a screenshot: http://heybryan.org/shots/2008-07-10_wine_brainbow_fail.png So, Brain Builder works, and really only in wine virtual desktop mode (set at 800x600 in the screenshot), but when it does work here, the viewport for the brain is clearly to the left and completely outside of the virtual desktop window that wine is running on. When I move the window left/right, the viewport to the left of the window 'follows' (not completely smoothly). Moving the window within the wine virtual desktop window, the Brain Explorer window itself, does not change the position of the erroneously blitten viewport. Clicking within the Brain Explorer window on the buttons in the viewport still works. Clicking on the buttons as they are displayed on the erroneously blitten viewport just clicks to the apps underneath on the other layers accessible via the typical ALT+TAB setup. There's all sorts of graphical issues with dragging the window around, even when not in wine virtual desktop mode the ABA Brain Explorer window has issues keeping 'clean' and free of parts of the bitmaps of the other windows. When not in virtual desktop mode, the 'viewport' is no where on either of my two screens. Maybe the two screens are influencing things? Here's how I am configuring them: xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1440x900 --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 --right-of LVDS I doubt that's the issue. How can I go about tracking down the bug or fix to that is causing the viewport error? I looked into running winedbg, which seems to be a step-based approach to debugging but couldn't see how to make it work in this context. I asked around in #winehq and #debian on freenode but didn't get an eyebrow, so my next stop (I'm guessing) should be the wine's bugzilla setup.

The primary problem is the horribly blurry, blocky, pixellated font that much of the newegg page is using, although I'm also concerned about the tiny font of the personalized part. [In my original message, I said I was concerned with the personalized part, but that was really the case for other pages. The main problem is what appears in the non-personalized part of the newegg page.] On the Debian PDF screenshot, all the fonts are legible, but the ones on the sidebar and running across the top of the page are really ugly (blocky and pixellated). > At the moment I suspect that some bad/unusual CSS font specifications in > the invoice web page are to blame for triggering the use of the type 3 > fonts in the PDF.

FQDN vs. domain name
Hello, there are three files on my vps which contain the following data inserted by my provider. # /etc/hostname lvps123-123-123-123.dedicated.hosteurope.de # /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain 123.123.123.123 lvps123-123-123-123.dedicated.hosteurope.de lvps123-123-123-123 # /etc/mailname lvps123-123-123-123.dedicated.hosteurope.de First of all I think the /etc/hostname shouldn't contain the FQDN, but instead the hostname, in this case lvps123-123-123-123. I would like to replace all these values with my own domain name (mydomain.com), but I'm not sure if this is okay, because I don't want create subdomain and use it as a hostname (hostname.mydomain.com), so it's not a FQDN. # /etc/hostname mydomain # /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain 123.123.123.123 mydomain.com mydomain # /etc/mailname mydomain.com Is this setup okay, or could it cause problems?

If you can > suggest any improvements on them, I'll be glad to post more. Your browser screenshot seems fine to me, aside from the jpeg compression artefacts. The PDF (evince?) screenshot confuses me a bit, because I see two distinct problems: The personalized part is typeset in a font that is too small and has very bad hinting, and the boilerplate text seems to exhibit an issue with the kerning (character spacing). Can you clarify which problem we are trying to solve right now and provide a higher-magnification zoom (at least 400%) of a relevant part? At the moment I suspect that some bad/unusual CSS font specifications in the invoice web page are to blame for triggering the use of the type 3 fonts in the PDF. You could try to install the iceweasel-webdeveloper extension; this will give you an easy way to view the CSS and disable it fully or partially. Maybe this will be enough to make the produced PDFs legible again. Increasing the minimum font size in the iceweasel preferences is another quick thing to try. If that all does not help then I would be interested in seeing the full CSS of the page, including the "print" style (if it is defined). -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It should then be safe to upgrade to testing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It seems that libgutenprint2 is missing.

This blocks the transition of these packages to Lenny, but why would it
bother you if you are not on mipsel?

I am not sure if this is the minimum set, but here is what currently works for
me:

A trick for non-supscrivvers
This message originally had the title "A trick for non-subscribers". I send it again with the word misspelled. The original version did not make it to the list because the list interpreted the substring "subscribe" in the title as a request to subscribe (which I do *not* want). Robots.. This is not a question but a tip. I just discovered this; of course it may be old hat. You want to participate in the list? But you don't want to subscribe, because of the huge volume on the list? The trick: 1. Use icedove as your mail/news reader, and tell Iceweasel you've done so. 2. Subscribe to newsgroup linux.debian.user. 3. Read messages from the newsgroup. 4. If you want to reply to a message, find the same message in http://lists.debian.org/debian-user. Then click the "reply to list" link. If everything goes well, an Icedove mail compose window will come up, with an empty message area. 5. Now the trick: in this compose window, click "options", "quote message". In the compose window, the message (which will go to the LIST), the message from the NEWSGROUP will be quoted. This works in Sid. No guarantees for other Debian versions.

I have been keeping the cupsys and libcupsys2 dummy packages on my
system until now because removing them would break a couple packages. At
least, that is what aptitude tells me. This is definitely suspicious,
but so far it has not bothered me enough to warrant looking into it any
further.

apt upgrade to testing breaks?
I'd like to upgrade my etch notebook to testing, simply to have newer packages available. This machine is not visible on the internet, and I'm the only user, so security is not such a huge issue. Attempting to do this though - apt says it'll uninstall certain packages (which I use!) I'm not sure if I can go ahead and do the dist-upgrade, and just install the packages again after.

Hi Florian, just want to point out that cups 1.3.7-8 and cupsys 1.3.7-8

This building is an educational establishment for about 20 people using computers. The budget is (naturally) tight. Logically, before one powers a building, one needs to ensure that the existing loads are the most efficient that they can be so that the supply is not being wasted by hungry loads. What I want to find out is whether anyone here knows of any studies/reports that identifies whether or not there is a difference in the energy efficiency among GNU/Linux systems, Mac and Microsoft. I bet it's pretty hard to find a reasonable, non-biased study about this, but if you find one, I'd be intrigued. I can easily make the argument that licensing and maintenance costs would be cheaper using GNU/Linux, as well as recommending either a system of laptops and/or a system of thin clients. ISTM that regardless of who's software is more efficient, arguably the best method is thin clients, from an energy perspecitve. This is based on the assumption that you will have a few 24/7 machines anyway. And that points, at least in my mind, a little bit towards OSS because of the inexpensive virtualization options. A few physical machines running at nearly full capacity seems to me to be more energy efficient than a bunch of machines running at lower loads. But that is all idle speculation around the water cooler. A IMHO it would be difficult, from an energy perspective, to differentiate between any of several O/Ss, each of which ran on an identical CPU. The major contributors to power dissipation are usually the power supply, the HDD and to a lessor degree the fan. The energy consumed by the CPU is considerably less than that of the power supply (by perhaps a factor of 5) and that of memory even less. That having been said, however, it is certainly true that the less memory required the less energy required and the smaller HDD required, the less energy. Both of these favor the *IX varients. The last factor would be the speed of operation (the lower the speed, especially with DRAM, the less energy required), but I can't make a case one way or the other since most try and run the CPU at maximum. Larry Larry, Ron, Sam & Andrew Thank you all for your comments. I think what I will do then is to propose that the site acquire better energy efficiency via a couple of servers running our fave distro (so much for scientific objectivity!!) and using thin clients with various energy savings options enabled for monitors, etc. Sam (via a private email) recommended the XO-1 or Classmate or Eee PCs as the most suitable candidate machines, so I will see what more I can find out on those in the meantime.

How to name a package (was Re: how to package?)
Apology for this question. Supposed there is a large organization where ''/usr/local'' is reserved for the real local of any system. Supposed HQ introduced package ''hq-vi'' which is a modification of vim. But, a branch also introduced ''branch-hq-vi'' which is a different modification of vim too. (1) Is it OK to name the packages with ''hq-vi'' and ''branch-hq-vi'' without reporting to any upstream (whatever that is)? (2) Is it OK to put those packages into /usr/bin? Is /opt a better place? Eg. /opt/hq/ and /opt/hg/branch/? (3) Is it OK to use the /etc/alternatives directory for altering the vi? (4) Any suggestion? -- Raja Ali M.I.

Re: Blurry fonts in printed invoices

I see the same problem when printing to an actual printer, to a CUPS-PDF virtual printer, and when using IW's native print-to-file functionality. Is there any other information I can provide? Let's hope the PDFfonts avenue helps. It seems that some bad font calculations occurred, and it may be due to bad font substitutions. Install the fonts required by the application that produces the invoice. If that's not possible, get very close substitutions. Also try inkscape 0.46, which can read, convert and fix some kinds of PDF files. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

cannot delete tun interface after reconnect
Hello there, Please help me with a network problem. I have a DSL connection (ppp0) and an ipip tunnel (tun6) connection. I use DSL connection for peering networks (I don't have to pay for traffic when connecting to the hosts of these nets) and ipip tunnel for the rest "outer world". The server for my ipip tunnel is in peering networks. When the dsl connection brokes and then reconnects the "outer world" networks stop working, I get "Destination Host Unreachable" icmp packet from myself (my side of the ipip tunnel), Though I have default route in route table. 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 00 tun6 Then I kill this tun6 iface by (vpn.disconnect.script): route del default dev tun6 ifconfig tun6 down And reconnect again by (vpn.connect.script): ip tunnel add tun6 mode ipip remote local dev ppp0 ifconfig tun6 netmask 255.255.255.248 pointopoint vpn ip> && ifconfig tun6 mtu 1452 up && route del default dev ppp0 route add default dev tun6 But I still get this "Destination Host Unreachable" icmp packet from . If I reboot and the vpn.connect.scripts estblishes the connection. I noticed, that after I get the disconnection of the DSL and then and try ti delete tun6, it doesn't disappear from /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/. I also have a vpn server (openvpn), it also uses tun interface in my conf (though not ipip of course). I tried to stop openvpn server and the tun0 (openvpn server uses this iface in my conf) disappeared from /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/. It seems tun6 isn't deleted propely in my vpn.disconnect.script. Am I doing something wrong? BTW vpn.disconnect.script and vpn.connect.script reside in /etc/ppp/ip-down.d and /etc/ppp/ip-up.d respectively.

Kernel config uevent path
Trying to compile a 2.6.25.8 kernel. The make oldconfig asks numerous questions, mostly about newly supported new hardware and options that are probably not relevant or helpful to me. However, it did ask for a uevent driver path which wants to default to /sbin/hotplug This does not exist since udev is being used. So ... Do we leave it alone to default and 1. The kernel puts something there 2. or make a symlink there to udevtrigger or something else Or do I set it directly to /sbin/udevtrigger CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="/sbin/udevtrigger" The man for udevtrigger seems to imply that this is what would be used. A symlink might be better than compiling this in directly? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
