Clang include paths
I'm running a fresh install of debian-testing on an amd64 laptop. I do lots of C++ compiling, and prefer clang's error messages to g++'s cryptic gobbledygook. After installing clang, I was surprised to find that nothing compiled. Stepping back, I tried to compile hello world: $ clang++ test.cpp test.cpp:1:10: fatal error: 'iostream' file not found #include ^ 1 diagnostic generated. I checked that headers were installed (they were). However, specifying include directories on the command line worked: $ clang++ -I/usr/include/c++/4.5.2 -I/usr/include/c++/4.5.2/x86_64-linux-gnu test.cpp compiles as expected. According to the documentation, the include path is hard coded in a source file, and the only way to *not* have to specify the full include path on the command line is to compile from source. My question is, is this a bug? If so, would it be fixed at the package level or upstream? In the meantime, I can compile the compiler from source. Also, why don't compilers have files like /etc/clang.conf that allow you to set include paths more flexibly?

Re: Procmailrc question
Your two emails were a help, but opened up some new questions: Executing install-mh in an xterm failed because install-mh was not found. I used find /usr -name 'install-mh' and found *two* versions. One was in /usr/bin/mh . I take this to be the modern equivalent of the old /usr/local/nmh/bin. So it appears that install-mh does something else than installing nmh software somewhere in /usr. Seeing the swap of mh and bin and the dropping of local, I looked for the modern analog of /usr/local/nmh/lib at /usr/lib/mh and it is there. But I foolishly ran install-mh, before looking for its man page. I think I should not have run it, at least not until I have made more progress on reviving my old setup. I have been looking at mh as a possible alternative to my, more 'mainstream', but non-functioning, email system. And I think I will look at it seriously, but not until later. I can't see trying to bring up two different email systems concurrently. Both trying to deliver the same email arriving via fetchmail and both looking to feed my outgoing emails to exim4, or maybe one to exim4 and the other to something else. I think I would still like to learn what the Debianly correct PATH definition is from someone who has a fetchmail/exim4/procmail/mutt system running in wheezy, and can simply open up his/her .procmailrc and copy that line into an email. In this there is too much verbiage about how I can do whatever I want, and not enough explanation of what is a known solution to a common problem. But even in how-tos that say they are specifically for Debian there are instructions for setup a .forward file to run procmail and I know that is not part of the Debian way.

See the dpkg manual (man dpkg), specifically: confnew: If a conffile has been modified always install the new version without prompting, unless the --force-confdef is also specified, in which case the default action is preferred. confold: If a conffile has been modified always keep the old version without prompting, unless the --force-confdef is also specified, in which case the default action is preferred. confdef: If a conffile has been modified always choose the default action. If there is no default action it will stop to ask the user unless --force-confnew or --force-confold is also been given, in which case it will use that to decide the final action.

Re: Procmailrc question
If you runn install-nmh, then nmh will make the directories it needs and perhaps start working. I use nmh and like it better than mbox because when malware hits a message that message with offending garbage can be sacrificed without the loss of your entire collection of messages. Hope this helps.On Sun, 17 Apr 2011, Paul E Condon wrote: > I once had my email working nicely, but over the last few years > the setup has decayed.

Procmailrc question
I once had my email working nicely, but over the last few years the setup has decayed. I am now running wheezy with fetchmail to get email from my ISP, exim4 to send outgoing email to my ISP, and do other things locally, and procmail running in my $home. I have no interest in setting up system-wide (i.e. several users) mail delivery since I am the only user of email here. I have been keeping the same .procmailrc file from well before the transition from exim3 to exim4, making ad hoc kludge changes only when absolutely forced to, and largely without a clue as to what I was doing. I once had spamassassin working, but for a long while it has not been working. Certainly there has been no evidence of it working since I installed xfce under wheezy. Today I noticed in my .procmailrc the following line, which is left over from long ago: PATH=/usr/local/nmh/lib:/usr/local/nmh/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin This line is there for the benefit of the scripting that inplements the recipes that follow. But this is wrong for my wheezy!!! In particular, everything in /usr was put there by installing wheezy with a squeeze business-card CD followed by debian package installs using aptitude pointing to ftp.us.debian.org/debian/. Aptitude says that the package nmh is installed. But there is no directory /usr/local/nmh/ on the computer. Sometime in the past the organization of Debian /usr transitioned from having that directory to not have it. It's been long enough that it may have gone thru several transitions while I was confused and inattentive (because of poor access to emails, perhaps) Anyway, I think I need a PATH statement that is appropriate for Debian wheezy before I can do any meaningful debugging. Can someone who is running a single user Wheezy system using single user .procmailrc and spamassassin (or spamc/spamd) please post a copy of the PATH statement is a working setup? As an added goody, please tell me where you got the information. Did it get installed automagically by a Debian package? Or what?

Reformat/salvage old LaCie drive?
Hello, I have an old LaCie 500 GB hard drive. I opened it up last night and see that it is two 250 ATA/133 hard drives: one master, one slave on a single IDE ribbon connector. (Hope my words are right.) It is connected to my laptop via USB. (recent Debian Squeeze install on a Lenovo X201) How do I reformat and test if the drive is reliable? I tried repartitioning it with fdisk /dev/sdb1 yesterday, but I bet making it one big partition was the wrong way to go. When I ran mkfs with badblocks, I got a ton and mkfs gave up. Does that mean the drives are junk or that I screwed up the partition table? I've looked on the web for awhile, but haven't found an explanation of what I need to do. (I assume that is because I don't have the right words.) When I connect the drive, only one USB device shows up: [10936.030963] usb 1-1.1: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 [10936.102777] usb 1-1.1: device descriptor read/64, error -32 [10936.278360] usb 1-1.1: device descriptor read/64, error -32 [10936.398277] hub 1-1:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 [10948.543604] usb 1-1.1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13 [10948.640561] usb 1-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=059f, idProduct=0421 [10948.640567] usb 1-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [10948.640570] usb 1-1.1: Product: USB 2.0 LaCie Big Disk [10948.640574] usb 1-1.1: Manufacturer: LaCie [10948.640576] usb 1-1.1: SerialNumber: 19A00E00078F6C2D [10948.640723] usb 1-1.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [10948.659536] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

Troobleshooting boot
Dear Debian users, I have trouble running Debian Squeeze on my machine. The installation process successfully completes, but most of the time (19 times in 20?) the kernel stalls after displaying its `Loading ...' message. Any hint to help me fix this would be much appreciated! My machine is built around an asus m4a88td-m motherboard and an AMD Phenom processor which I recently bought to encode several gigabytes of MPEG2-TS video data. Unfortunately I am unable to run reliably Debian Squeeze on this machine. I have currently a double boot FreeBSD/Debian Squueze there, and to be honnest the last time I seriously used a Debian system was back when `Potato' was the hot thing ... my experience is probably not of much help any more. (It seems you do not even have dselect anymore, have you?) To understand what was going on, I started several times in a row the machine in `recovery mode' from the Grub menu, but I always had different messages showing up on the display's tail. I guessed that the kernel was operating a kind of parallel initialisation, and I could not figure out how to disable it to get a sensible error message on the console. When the machine dares to start under Debian Squeeze, it is stable and works without error. I also have FreeBSD 8.1 installed on the machine, it works fine and reliably so I can use it to get informations on the machine, like the precise names of the chipsets there and the pci information. Here is the output of `dmesg' it contains the output generated by the kernel, and incidentially the list of chipsets on my system. ---8<--- Copyright (c) 1992-2011 The FreeBSD Project.

Make each label have the form, plXd where 'pl' is a fixed prefix (mnemonic for 'Partition Label') and X and d are taken from the good old days. (And from ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ , see above) Use the -L option in tune2fs to write these labels. Then change /etc/fstab to use LABEL=plXd whereever it now uses UUID="some crazy (but unique) hex string with embedded hyphens" The important point is that each partition is identified by a *locally* unique string that contains some internal clues for the benefit of old farts. (UUID solves the problem of being locally unique by being locally unique to the biosphere on Earth, which is, IMHO, overkill.) Of course, if in future you want to pull one of your hard disks and install it on in a different computer, you will have to exercise some caution. You will have to check the /dev/disk/by-* contents and fix the labels on the disk you are moving to avoid a name clash in the partition labels, and fix the clash before you make the required new entries in /etc/fstab of the computer to which the disk is being moved. Keep in mind that the partition identifier cannot be constructed from the mount point because the whole point of /etc/fstab is to establish a mapping between physical partitions and mount points.

>>> "how to modify my address without doing unsubscribe/subscribe?" >> >> The answer to your question is: unsubscribe the old address. Subscribe >> the new one. That's not what he asked, is it...?!!! OP: "how do I MODIFY my address WITHOUT doing unsubscribe/subscribe" Wise guy: "The answer is... unsubscribe.. subscribe" HElloooOO...??? Anybody home...??? I took a quick look, and I did not see any way you can do it. And I think this is about as lame as it gets.

If they cannot provide anything more positive such as indicating how this situation could be improved, maybe they should have simply said 'sorry, debian uses lousy mailing list management software or is not set up properly and there's nothing our volunteers can do about it.' The latter would probably not make the OP happy, but I'm sure he would have been OK with that.. and that answer would certainly be preferable than half a dozen messages that only show that the their authors did not even bother to read his post. Maybe the famous 'how to ask smart questions' document needs to be complemented by 'how to avoid posting dumb replies'.

FEATURE comes with high price tag of making it possible. We as volunteer group has to make priority choice since we lack manpower to do all. I do not think you paid for Debian mailing list service :-) But what exactly is needed by you? It seems to me that your frustration is coming mostly from your lack of knowledge how this system works. 1) To send mail from other mail service, you can do it any time by yourself since Debian is open list. You do not need to use registered address to send mail. 2) To change mail address showing up on mailing list and its archive, you can do it any time by yourself since spoofing mail address is trivial act of your mail client configuration. 3) To change mail address receiving mailing list, just subscribe with new address. you can toss duplicates for now. Then you can unsubscribe. bandwidth is cj\heap. 4) If you hate getting too much mails, just do not subscribe to it. You can read it from news reader or from web pages. The negative damage of doing 3rd case is minimal. Naturally, no one cares to set up such interface to change subscription address. If you are wondering what I am talking as case 1 and 2, please learn how to use mail client. I understand it is a bit obscure for novice PC user.
