Re: bug report for the ogss shell?

[John Haggerty]

Actually looking at this I seem to have found this is based on "libgmail"
which is in package python-libgmail 0.1.11-2 which was supposed "closed" for
freedom from bugs :(
The error I seem to keep seeing is an error in sendMessage routine but I
lack the present python skills to fix it as well :(

And what's worse is that I found a bare minimum of 2 other implimentations
of the "send gmail email through python" but they are all using generic mime
and not for the remote command execution through the email service

Just great :(

Hi Jeff, 

My understanding is that these days the best/standard place to put your
apt pinning configuration is in the /etc/apt/preferences file. This
might explain why apt(itude) is trying to pull packages from
testing/unstable, as apts default behaviour is to go for the highest
available version that it can find. 

You may, although it is not really essential if you also have release
preferences configured as above, put the following in
/etc/apt/apt.conf

APT::Default-Release "stable";

To hold a package at a specific version (so that it does not get
upgraded/replaced etc, in your /etc/apt/preferences file, is:

Package: package-name
Pin: version 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny3+custom1 
Pin-Priority: 1000 or 1001

You can use an asterix "*" to indicate a wildcard, such that having
Pin: version 5.* will allow any version 5 of the package, etc, or have
an explicit version and use priority 1000 or 1001. 

The difference between Pin-Priority 1000 and 1001 is that 1000 will not
force downgrades, whereas 1001 will force package downgrades if a newer
version happens to be installed. 

To see what apt thinks it is doing, you can use:

# apt-cache policy package-name

This should show whether a package is installed, which package versions
and their source that apt can find, and which version is the
installation candidate based on apts configuration. 

Kind Regards,
Jaime

Please don't be that harsh, here's another section of "Siggy's musings
about early *nix days":

For short, when you don't have readline you develop a habit of writing
tiny #!/bin/sh  scripts with the help of ed(1) (no readline either).
I've programmed quite a bit in K&R C using ed(1) then.

no bad feelings

bug report for the ogss shell?

[John Haggerty]

I locate the following software which may be of use for some of my problems
1) use an existing way to log info via email (in this case google's) 2)
attempting to do so remotely to affect logs on a machine

Towards that end I located the following

http://freshmeat.net/projects/ogss-open-gmail-sms-shell

It seems to be good but then there hasn't been an update in something like 4
months.

(granted this may not be 100% perfect I would love some pointers to some
generic either python or moer general app supoprt besides the author)

I have the following error when I attempt to use the software to login to my

Package Version Numbers

[Jeff Grossman]

I am running Debian Stable on a server.  I downloaded the source
package for PHP so I could remove the Suhosin patch.  It was causing a
lot of problems with my scripts.  I have a question regarding what I
should call the new packages that I am building.  The package in
stable right now is called "5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny3".  I called my new
packages "5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny3+custom1".  I have the following
settings in my apt.conf file in case I ever need to install anything
from testing or unstable:

Package: *
Pin: release a=lenny-backports
Pin-Priority: 800

Package: *
Pin: release a=volatile
Pin-Priority: 600

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 500

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 300

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 200

But, now aptitude wants to install the PHP package from testing when I
do a safe-upgrade.  What should I have called my custom build PHP
package so it would not want to upgrade it to testing?

Thanks for any help you can offer me.

Jeff

Not saying it's not relevant, but since the log is readily accessible
from his earlier post .. there's not point duplicating it.  what..  10K
added to each message..?? if the thread becomes popular and elicits over
a hundred replies, should everyone do likewise, what does that do to the
subscribers' internet traffic.. or the size of their mboxes, if they
choose to save the thread locally..?

Should anyone have locally deleted the thread and have second thoughts,
and need to the review the entire thread, logs included, a quick peek at
the real Monty is as easy as (e.g.):

http://osdir.com/ml/debian-user-debian/2009-08/threads.html#00407

Maybe the OP should've posted his log somewhere and provided a link in
the first place, but then .. two wrongs don't make a right.

I don't claim to be a bois expert, but can you either totally reset the bios 
into a "default" mode or update the bios to a newer version so that you can 
change the apic setting?

Dash is designed to be a POSIX compliant shell that should be run as
/bin/sh; iirc it lacks any features not necessary to achieve that goal.

RE: Trying to boot Lenny after installation

[Sine 39]

The setting for APIC Mode (which is currently showing as 'enabled') in my BIOS 
appears in light blue with a cross next to it, meaning I cannot change it. This 
may be because I need to change another setting in order to be able to 
configure APIC Mode, I know this because this applies to some other settings.

Any idea what I might need to do in order to make APIC Mode available to 
configure? I have tried searching it but the only thing I came accross was 
something saying you cannot configure APIC mode once you have installed an 
operating system which makes no sense to me since the BIOS loads before any 
operating system and doesn't reside on the hard drive. I tried tricking the 
BIOS into thinking there was no operating system by disabling the hard drive 
but this didn't work and I wouldn't expect it to since how can the BIOS know 
whether an OS is installed anyway when it doesn't load information from the HD.

In this context, it makes sense.. when the post is  ..  there is

Hi thanks it does. I have  tried most of what you've suggested as my  research 
indicated that a blank xorg.conf is something to be expected,however HAL didn't 
figure out any of my display hardware at all and I'm using a P3 Toshiba laptop 
so you'd think it wouldn't be this difficult. Not like it's ultra new hardware. 
Sarge worked great on this but the first time I updgraded to Lenny was OK but 
from Lenny to testing completely borked a working install in terms of a working 
Xserver-xorg config.  Not at all like debian usually behaves. ;-)

I'll keep plugging away, thanks for your suggestions.

Cheers,
Steve

dash download

[Jude DaShiell]

When the offer came up to install dash on my machine and I had a listen to 
the bug reports, I decided to do the installation but not make dash my 
default shell.  Everything on this amd64-k8 machine went without incident. 
I haven't yet tried chsh to find out what will happen but am in a position 
to do that on a throwaway account created for the purpose and find out.

How are you pinging the WAN address?  From a separate network?

This is from your computer, right?  The way I would go about this is
to test pinging the router from your computer (192.168.1.1 for factory
defaults), then test if your router itself can ping google.  (With
firmware from the last year or so, there is an option in the web
configuration tool to have the router itself try pinging an IP).

Like Ron said, check the PC's network connection settings (DHCP vs.
static IP and all that).
I would ensure that your computer is set to use the router's internal
IP as the gateway, also; the PC won't know who to talk to if this
isn't set up right.

Hope that's helpful; let us know what you find next.


Best,
Jeff

Well, that method USED to work for selecting video settings.  It no
longer does, everything is done automagically now.  I just installed a
Sid that did not even have an xorg.conf file. I had to make a basic
xorg.conf file to get my X working correctly.  You don't have to make
all if it up, just the parts of what ever stanza you might need.  For
example,

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection

The above might be your entire xorg.conf file.

To start (and thus test xfce4 and X) you could run startxfce4 and see if
it comes up or not.  If not, start at the x11 logs.  You might have to
modify manually your xorg.conf file.

HTH, still waking up, I tried hard to make sense.

First of all, I get usual internet services without the

I have problems with basic configuration: 


Computer ---> Router ---> DSL modem

The panel LEDs display normally, and 
the router gets a pingable WAN address from the DSL modem.


By this, do you mean a routeable IP address?


However

ping google.com returns 'unknown host'

ping 74.125.45.100 (google.com) returns 'destination unreachable'


What if you ping 74.125.45.100?


Resetting the router to factory defaults doesn't help.

Any ideas for what to try? Thanks.


Can your PC see the router itself?  My WRT54GL has a web interface, 
and one of the pages shows the external IP address, DNS addresses, etc.


Also, how is your PC configured?  For DHCP, static, etc?

Xorg-Xserver Config Issue

[S. Fishpaste]

Greetings;

New install using the net-install imaage from Debian.org, installed the 
base-system only (no desktop), changed my sources list to 'testing' ass the 
net-install defaults to the current stable. During the net-install I selected 
the xfce4 desktop.

Everything seemed to go normally except I wasn't prompted to configure 
xserver-xorg before rebooting. Consequently it installed gdm and on reboot the 
system freezes shortly after starting gdm.

So I purged gdm and attempted to 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'. This prompts 
for keyboard, and language input, but no video prompts. Wierd, I thought that 
was the way to reconfigure xserver.

I'm not that familiar with the Linux GUI as I usually run my GNU/Linux boxes as 
GUI-less servers.

So how do I get xfce4 up and running in Xorg ?

Thanks

From the first boot, the code c0117b60 has to do with the apic system.  Have 
you tried to change its settings in your bios (turned it off)?  I don't have 
direct experience, but I did a google search for the code and came up with 
apic.

No sound with Lenny on Dell Insipiron Mini 10v

[Mark]

A friend has a new Dell Inspiron Mini 10v, came with XP.  I installed Debian
via dvd .iso image (dual boot), everything's okay except for audio.  lspci
lists - Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio
Controller - as the device. There is volume control, etc. All mutes are
off.  Booted a live Ubuntu CD just to test, and all audio works; lspci lists
the same audio device.  Sound also works in XP, although XP lists it as a
Realtek High Definition Audio controller, not Intel.  Also installed
gnome-alsamixer and it shows volume/recording controls but nothing impacts
sound output.

Tried these tips so far (not a ton of links out there on this that my search
revealed):

http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Dell/InspironMini9 (Audio section)
http://krisrowland.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/fixed-sound-not-working-in-debian-lenny-on-a-dell-mini-9/

I've run out of ideas, and am totally confused why booting from the Ubuntu
9.04 live CD plays sounds while Debian doesn't.  Is there something I should
copy from the Ubuntu CD onto the Debian installation media?  i.e. if there
is an audio module, etc.  From what I've read support for the audio hardware
is built into the kernel so why no sound output?

Any help or ideas are welcomed, including if I missed something obvious and
look like a reTARD, that's fine - I just want sound so I don't have to use
Ubuntu instead.

Thanks,
Mark

Frankly spoken I am by no means interested in gaming and I don't
intend to go into the details mentioned there.  

In my understanding you asked a question how to build .debs from
sources an that's what I showed you.  For the ugly details you'll have
to find help from somebody else.

The reason there is no amd64 package is because it won't compile.
There's a bug report[1] to give you an idea.

What I do is run zsnes in a 32-bit chroot, which works fine, though has
a lot of overhead if you just want zsnes.

thanks but it seems i ran into a problem
/usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `linux/sdlintrf.o' is
incompatible with i386:x86-64 output

maybe the code is made only for i386
