RFH: ελληνικό website
Πήρα commit access στο website και ως πρώτη κίνηση μετέτρεψα (επιτέλους!) την ελληνική έκδοση σε utf-8 από iso-8859-7, μιας και ήταν η δεύτερη φορά που με δαγκώνει. Η ελληνική μετάφραση είναι παμπάλαια/ανενημέρωτη (όπως μας πληροφορεί άλλωστε και η κεντρική σελίδα) και φοβερά ημιτελής ενώ δεν φαίνεται να υπάρχει κάποιος να τη συντηρεί σε μόνιμη βάση — αν κάνω λάθος και λέω χοντράδα, ας με διορθώσει. Μεταφραστής, ωστόσο, δεν είμαι και δεν έχω ούτε τη θέληση αλλά ούτε και το απαραίτητο μεράκι που χρειάζεται. Μικροαλλαγές μπορώ να κάνω αλλά μάλλον είμαι ανίκανος ή/και τεμπέλης για να κάνω πλήρη δουλειά :) Μπορώ όμως να ανεβάζω αλλαγές που κάνουν τρίτοι εφόσον μου τα δώσουν σε ένα φυσιολογικό format.

RES: [OT] Mirror no wordpress
Olá Gustavo. Se sua intenção é fazer um espelho, que seja funcional, não tenho idéia pois como disse não conheço estrutura de wordpress. Sim é por isso que uso rsync mesmo, no caso faz atualização só do que muda. Bem provável que já saiba, de qualquer forma se for de ajuda: Comando mysqldump pro backup da base de dados, faz o backup sem parar o MySQL ou alterar sua estrutura.

Lançado o Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 Squeeze
O Projeto Debian http://www.debian.org/ Lançado o Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 Squeezepr...@debian.org 06 de Fevereiro de 2011http://www.debian.org/News/2011/20110205a Lançado o Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 Squeeze Após 24 meses de constante desenvolvimento, o Projeto Debian tem o prazer de apresentar sua nova versão estável 6.0 (codinome Squeeze). O Debian 6.0 é um sistema operacional livre, vindo pela primeira vez em dois sabores. Ao lado do Debian GNU/Linux, o Debian GNU/kFreeBSD é introduzido com esta versão como uma prévia da tecnologia. O Debian 6.0 inclui o KDE Plasma Desktop e Aplicativos, os ambientes de área de trabalho GNOME, Xfce, e LXDE assim como todos os tipos de aplicativos para servidor. Também apresenta compatibilidade com a FHS v2.3 e software desenvolvido para a versão 3.2 da LSB. O Debian funciona em computadores desde palmtops e sistemas handheld a supercomputadores, e em quase tudo entre eles. Um total de nove arquiteturas são suportadas pelo Debian GNU/Linux: 32-bit PC / Intel IA-32 (i386), 64-bit PC / Intel EM64T / x86-64 (amd64), Motorola/IBM PowerPC (powerpc), Sun/Oracle SPARC (sparc), MIPS (mips (big-endian) e mipsel (little-endian)), Intel Itanium (ia64), IBM S/390 (s390), e ARM EABI (armel). O Debian 6.0 Squeeze introduz prévias técnicas de dois novos portes para o kernel do projeto FreeBSD usando o conhecido espaço de aplicativos Debian/GNU: Debian GNU/kFreeBSD para o 32-bit PC (kfreebsd-i386) e o 64-bit PC (kfreebsd-amd64). Estes portes são os primeiros a serem incluídos em uma versão do Debian que não são baseados no kernel Linux. O suporte ao software comum de servidor está robusto e combina os recursos existentes nas versões Debian baseadas em Linux com os recursos únicos conhecidos do mundo BSD. Entretanto, para esta versão estes novos portes são limitados; por exemplo, alguns recursos avançados do desktop ainda não são suportados. Outra novidade é o kernel Linux completamente livre, que não contém mais arquivos de firmware problemáticos. Estes foram divididos em pacotes separados e movidos do repositório main do Debian para a área non-free do nosso repositório, que não é habilitada por padrão. Desta forma, os usuários Debian têm a possibilidade de executar um sistema operacional completamente livre, mas ainda podem optar por usar arquivos de firmware não-livres se necessário. Os arquivos de firmware necessários durante a instalação podem ser carregados pelo sistema de instalação; imagens especiais de CD e arquivos tarball para instalações baseadas em USB também estão disponíveis. Mais informações a respeito disso podem ser encontradas na Página wiki de Firmware do Debian [1]. 1: http://wiki.debian.org/Firmware Além disso, o Debian 6.0 introduz um sistema de inicialização baseado em dependências, tornando a inicialização do sistema mais rápida e robusta devido a execução paralela dos scripts de inicialização e o controle correto de dependências entre eles. Várias outras mudanças tornam o Debian mais adequado para notebooks de tamanho reduzido, como a introdução do shell KDE Plasma Netbook. Esta versão inclui numerosos pacotes de software atualizados, tais como: * Espaços de trabalho KDE Plasma e Aplicativos do KDE 4.4.5 * uma versão atualizada do ambiente de área de trabalho GNOME 2.30 * o ambiente de área de trabalho Xfce 4.6 * LXDE 0.5.0 * X.Org 7.5 * OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 * GIMP 2.6.11 * Iceweasel 3.5.16 (uma versão sem marcas do Mozilla Firefox) * Icedove 3.0.11 (uma versão sem marcas do Mozilla Thunderbird) * PostgreSQL 8.4.6 * MySQL 5.1.49 * Coleção de Compiladores GNU 4.4.5 * Linux 2.6.32 * Apache 2.2.16 * Samba 3.5.6 * Python 2.6.6, 2.5.5 e 3.1.3 * Perl 5.10.1 * PHP 5.3.3 * Asterisk 1.6.2.9 * Nagios 3.2.3 * Xen Hypervisor 4.0.1 (dom0 assim como suporte a domU) * OpenJDK 6b18 * Tomcat 6.0.18 * mais de 29.000 outros pacotes de software prontos para usar, construídos a partir de cerca de 15.000 pacotes fonte. O Debian 6.0 inclui mais de 10.000 novos pacotes como o navegador Chromium, a solução de monitoramento Icinga, a interface gráfica de gerenciamento de de pacotes Central de Aplicativos, o gerenciador de rede wicd, as ferramentas de contêiner Linux lxc e a framework de cluster corosync. Com esta ampla seleção de pacotes, o Debian mais uma vez permanece fiel ao seu objetivo de ser o sistema operacional universal. É apropriado para muitos casos diferentes de uso: de sistemas desktop a netbooks; de servidores de desenvolvimento a sistemas de cluster; e para servidores de banco de dados, web ou de armazenamento. Ao mesmo tempo, esforços adicionais para garantia de qualidade como instalação automática e testes de atualização para todos os pacotes nos repositórios Debian, assegurando que o Debian 6.0 satisfaz as

Now suddenly the word parameters jumps out at me in this context. This term is often avoided when discussing the shell, unless you are talking about shell functions. The term includes what both options and arguments from above and can also mean the constructs used to access those values from within the function body. Help! What are parameters? If you want semi-formal defintions... From SUSv2: Parameters and Variables A parameter can be denoted by a name, a number or one of the special characters listed in Special Parameters . A variable is a parameter denoted by a name. A parameter is set if it has an assigned value (null is a valid value). Once a variable is set, it can only be unset by using the unset special built-in command. My examples would be $1, $@, $USER, $LC_ALL, and $bar. Also from SUSv2: Utility Syntax Guidelines The following guidelines are established for the naming of utilities and for the specification of options, option-arguments and operands. The getopt() function in the XSH specification assists utilities in handling options and operands that conform to these guidelines. Operands and option-arguments can contain characters not specified in the portable character set. [...] Guideline 4: All options should be preceded by the - delimiter character. Guideline 5: Options without option-arguments should be accepted when grouped behind one - delimiter. Guideline 6: Each option and option-argument should be a separate argument, except as noted in Utility Argument Syntax , item (2). Guideline 7: Option-arguments should not be optional. [...] Guideline 9: All options should precede operands on the command line. Guideline 10: The argument -- should be accepted as a delimiter indicating the end of options. Any following arguments should be treated as operands, even if they begin with the - character. The -- argument should not be used as an option or as an operand. Applications calling any utility with a first operand starting with - should usually specify --, as indicated by Guideline 10, to mark the end of the options. This is true even if the SYNOPSIS in the XCU specification does not specify any options; implementations may provide options as extensions to the XCU specification. The standard utilities that do not support Guideline 10 indicate that fact in the OPTIONS section of the utility description. So, if you work within the analogy of C function ~=~ shell command, then you get C formal parameter ~=~ shell Positional Parameter, C actual parameter `=~ shell argument, C variable ~=~ Shell non-Positional Parameter. The shell terms option, option-argument, and operand don't directly correspond to C terms. options include things like -E or -q to grep and -l to wc. option-arguments include things like what follows -f to tar or -e to sed or grep. operands are generally path names (files or directories), but they might be something else; they don't belong to a particular option but rather direct the global behavior of the command. HTH Thanks for taking so much trouble, Boyd. I'm not sure that I understand massively better, but a bit, and hopefully it will eventually penetrate! I'll read it again when I am under less pressure.

OpenSSH could be faster...then why don't they path it??
https://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/hpn-v-ssh-tput.jpg
SCP and the underlying SSH2 protocol implementation in OpenSSH is network
performance limited by statically defined internal flow control buffers. These
buffers often end up acting as a bottleneck for network throughput of SCP,
especially on long and high bandwith network links. Modifying the ssh code to
allow the buffers to be defined at run time eliminates this bottleneck. We have
created a patch that will remove the bottlenecks in OpenSSH and is fully
interoperable with other servers and clients. In addition HPN clients will be
able to download faster from non HPN servers, and HPN servers will be able to
receive uploads faster from non HPN clients. However, the host receiving the
data must have a properly tuned TCP/IP stack.
My question is: So Why Does the original OpenSSH has limited statically
defined internal flow control buffers?? It could be way faster, even 10x!!
With the HPN-SCP path it could be the descendant of FTP! Why aren't there any
OpenSCP packages? ('normal SCP+HPN-SCP path+no local user needed for
SCP'ing+chroot by default')
Any opinions?
Thank you!

Wireless Intel Centrino 6300 + Debian netinstall
Hi, I am having some problems in getting my wlan (Intel Centrino 6300 AGN) to work on a T510 with Debian 6.0. The 6300 does work under Windows... So there does'nt appear to be a hardware defect, it's just a software configuration issue. I have wrote (debian-6.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso) to a USB key along with the binary firmware, iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode from http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/d ... 21.4.1.tgz I have copied iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode into the root of the USB drive and also into /firmware but I am not sure if it's being read or if there is another problem. The key boots, but does'nt find the firmware. What is the exact path and file which should be wrote to the USB drive which is usinf FAT32. When the netinstaller boots up, I configure the primary network interface: I select wlan0: Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (Wireless) Searching for wireless access points.. Wireless ESSID for wlan0: I enter this case sensitively Then the WPA key (s:passphrase) (case sensitively) Configuring the network with DHCP. Network autoconfiguration failed... Note my router is set to use WPA2 Personal, TKIP+AES, could this be the issue ? Could the wireless software only support WEP and not WPA2 Personal ? I dont think that iwlist/iwconfig exists on the USB bootable key, else I would try a few more things. Does Debian use the ansi tool, netcfg to configure all of the networking, I could'nt see any command line options. A workaround would be to install from DVD and then to add the Debian package firmware-iwlwifi but it'd be so cool to see a network installation just work like it should with this wireless hardware. How can I easily debug this. If this wireless adapter is too troublesome, which USB wireless adapter would you suggest that I purchase which does not involve firmware loading and has native kernel support.

skip fsck when booting on battery?
Hi, Earlier today at fosdem, I was booting my laptop and it started a routine file system check (booted 28 times without being checked, check forced). Obviously I don't want the laptop doing that check when it's on battery power, especially since it has an aging battery. How do I turn I fix this, or is this a bug? The laptop is an Acer Aspire 7720G running Debian Squeeze. I do notice that the laptop seems to 'think' it was still on AC power until later in the boot sequence, due to the brightness setting. I think it keeps the previous AC/battery state from last boot, and only checks again quite late in the boot process. Any ideas are welcome.

What is the point of confusion over linux-image-2.6.32-x-686? Sure you can avoid the metapackage and install it manually. But then you will always have to install the latest point release manually. That isn't as good. It is better to follow the release notes and install the metapackage so that the latest point release kernel is installed automatically when you install security upgrades. Note that a lot of Linux kernel users install their own custom kernel for custom hardware support. They are the ones that the release notes are dancing around. They won't have the stock kernel installed. Since you do you don't need to worry about it. Just follow the release notes and install the linux-image-2.6-686 kernel.

But: my watcher script [the pastebined] is not working fine...sometime it works, sometime it send that someone XY logged out, but it's not true! nothing happened, and the problem is not in the Script A. Can someone help me point out, what am i missing? I looked at your pastebin script and have several comments. * The indentation is terrible! Please indent according to control and not just randomly. * Your use of named temporary files isn't secure. But I assume it isn't a problem so will just note it. * Avoid discarding error output. You have: grep PATTERN /dev/null 21 Instead of doing that use grep -q. Otherwise you throw away useful error messages. grep -q PATTERN Most importantly the way you are getting the differences doesn't make any sense to me. while true; do DHCPACKSBEF=$(cat /dev/shm/dhcpacks-in-last-2min.txt) sleep 1 DHCPACKSAFT=$(cat /dev/shm/dhcpacks-in-last-2min.txt) ... done What!? This is why it is only randomly working for you. It only catches an update if it is lucky enough that the file is updated during the one second of sleep time. But if it ever updates outside of that window, which is also very likely, then you will miss it. This is your problem. Start there and rewrite it so that it avoids that problem. How can i watch a file [in every sec], that contains only MAC addresses, and if someone doesn't get dhcpack in 2 minutes, the file /dev/shm/dhcpacks-in-last-2min.txt changes, and that clients MAC address will be gone from it, and i need to know, who was it How would I do it? I don't know. I haven't thought about it. There are probably ten ways to do it. On first glance I would probably keep a full snapshot of the file and then see if it is different. Of course since the upstream file can change at any time you can't look at it more than once. You must grab a copy exactly once and then work with the working copy. Here is something off the top of my head. Note that I haven't tested it or even run it but just typed something into the email. test -f /tmp/last-dhcpd-acks cp /tmp/dhcpacks-in-last-2min.txt /tmp/last-dhcpd-acks while sleep 1; do cp /tmp/dhcpacks-in-last-2min.txt /tmp/dhcp-acks-wc # snapshot a working copy if ! cmp -s /tmp/dhcp-acks-wc /tmp/last-dhcpdacks; then # The files are different. Process the differences. cp /tmp/dhcpacks-in-last-2min.txt /tmp/last-dhcpd-acks fi done Look at your script A that creates the upstream file. How does it update the file? Does it do it atomically? If so then fine. But if not then even the above could fail. The cp could get only part of the file. Therefore you need to review your script A too to make sure that it does an atomic update. It should write a copy of the file to the side into a temporary filename and then rename it in the same directory to the final name. In the kernel rename(2) is atomic. This causes the file to either always be the previous file or the new file and never anything between. This is a standard Unix update method. (That has been called into controversy due to recent mob insanity.) Doing an atomic update of the file is critically important for reliable operation. Good luck!

Hi Jörg, Thanks for the input. However, i'm not able to find S/N ratio on online page. Is SNR Margin what you're referring to?

The handbook tells how to reach it. Did you take a look there? On the online staus page it shows the connection time, S/N ratio, and damping. It has dignosis tools, e.g., ADSL spectral analysis and traffic-diagram. In the system management one can configure system logging. -- Best regards, Jörg-Volker. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

There is a power status section near the top of checkfs.sh that is commented out citing bug #526398. The script runs from init.d in runlevel S, /etc/rcS.d . Thanks for pointing out that bug, I'm not sure what to do with it, re-enabling it is fairly safe as long as I remember not to boot from battery after a failure.

Hmm.. good point, haven't tried that yet, Esc didn't work, but that was a couple of years ago on another distribution. I do notice that the laptop seems to 'think' it was still on AC power until later in the boot sequence, due to the brightness setting. I think it keeps the previous AC/battery state from last boot, and only checks again quite late in the boot process. Maybe that is acpi starting in runlevel 2 or whatever runlevel you end up in. Perhaps it's only the brightness, in that case I can live with it, I'll look into it a bit further when I have the time. @ elbbit: The file system is ext3, however I wouldn't turn of the automatic routine checks entirely. I think I'll just leave it as it is and see if Ctrl+C does the trick, when I'm at home I'll just let it finish, it doesn't take that long, and use my desktop instead (now _that_ takes long, checking multiple 1TB disks).

Re: [OT] Magic numbers
Lisi wrote: Thanks, Andy - yes, it told me what the files were, and its best guess was good. (I should know - I created the files!) But no actual magic numbers. :-( Help us out. Can you phrase an example of what you want? Otherwise the only magic number anyone can give you is 42. Magic is relative here. The file program simply looks at parts here and parts there of the file and then makes a best-guess about it. The magic file database in libmagic1 is a documentation of that best guess effort. See the man page for information about the format of the information there. man magic So for example most files don't have a single magic number. Most types of files have many possible combinations. And when files are layered it is more difficult such as a tar of script, or a gzip'd file that is a tar of a script. The file program will quickly try to undo those layers and make a guess. It isn't perfect. Since the file program tries to work across any possibility in the universe it has a very hard task. If you have a more restricted set of input files you might be able to do better. For example '#!/' and #! /' denote scripts. Any file that starts with the binary data 23 21 20 2f or 23 21 2f is almost certainly a shell script. What type? For that you need to look further and see what characters follow. Note that in Squeeze /usr/share/misc/magic is now an empty directory instead of a file. The source isn't installed anymore. That is a shame. For squeeze you will need to install the source package to get to raw data that you can look at. apt-get source libmagic1 cd file-5.04 ls -log magic/Magdir/ Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: Anyone else having problems installing Squeeze Stable on AMD64?
For the two variants of Netinstall I tried three different mirrors, two in Sweden and one in US (the top of the list). On the Netinstall I think the problem is packages on the iso image. The first package to fail is libsqlite3-0_3.7.3-1_amd64.deb, which is on the iso. Haven't checked the iso's, but since I tried two different iso's, I'm thinking it's not because of corrupted downloads. For the mini.iso, the problem seems to be retrieving /dists/squeeze/main/binary-amd64/Packages.

hardware acceleration, radeon driver 6.13 (experimental)
Hello and congratulations to all developers on the release of 6.0. I have a 5000-series Radeon card in my laptop: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series] [1002:68e0] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:0413] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at d000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at cfee (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] I/O ports at 2000 [size=256] [virtual] Expansion ROM at cfe0 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [58] Express Legacy Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [a0] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [100] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0001 Rev=1 Len=010 ? Kernel driver in use: radeon For a number of reasons, I'm reluctant to use the closed-source drivers supplied by ATI/AMD and so I've been using various versions of the radeon driver from the Xorg project. That has been fine for almost every purpose, but I do not get hardware acceleration or direct rendering, and so I can't really use applications like Google Earth. Hoping that more recent versions might provide better support, I've been using the version of the driver (along with related packages) from the experimental repository: server-xorg-video-radeon: Installed: 1:6.13.2-1 Candidate: 1:6.13.2-1 Version table: *** 1:6.13.2-1 0 1 http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental/main i386 Packages libdrm-radeon1: Installed: 2.4.23-1 Candidate: 2.4.23-1 Version table: *** 2.4.23-1 0 1 http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental/main i386 Packages libglu1-mesa: Installed: 7.9+repack-2 Candidate: 7.9+repack-2 Version table: *** 7.9+repack-2 0 1 http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental/main i386 Packages Despite being `experimental' these packages have been completely dependable for me.

The kernel version is 2.6.36-trunk-686-bigmem.) Does anyone know if version 6.13 *should* support hardware acceleration for this chipset or if I simply have to be patient a little longer? Perhaps there is some configuration switch that I have wrong; I am not using an xorg.conf file; maybe one is needed? Perhaps a newer kernel is needed?
