 De todas formas, si tenías acceso a otro equipo con Internet sólo
 tenías que descargar el archivo y pasarlo a una llave USB para copiarlo
 al equipo.

 Es uno de esos errores de despiste con fácil solución.



 Me parece raro que elimine los archivos para conectarse, antes de
 descargar los archivos de instalación de la actualización. Y lo que no
 he visto es como pasarle el archivo tar.gz al paquete de Debian.

¿Qué es lo que dices que elimina? :-?

Si no he entendido mal el bug, el problema se da porque en la 
actualización se intenta descargar un paquete del driver+firmware de un 
adaptador inalámbrico con la ruta equivocada (aunque el archivo existe) 
por lo que el adaptador deja de funcionar.

Lo único que tendrás que hacer es descargar el paquete correcto e 
instalarlo en el equipo afectado para que el adaptador wifi pueda volver 
a funcionar.

 trabajar como servidor. Firestarter se arrancaba automáticamente como
 cualquier otro servicio.
 Al migrar a la 6.0 firestarter a dejado de funcionar automáticamente,
 además desde linea de comandos no me funciona.
 ¿No funciona? ¿Hiciste una actualización (lenny → squeeze) o instalaste
 desde cero? ¿Te aparece algún error al arrancarlo o al iniciar el
 sistema? :-?

 Esto ha hecho que me plantee buscar una alternativa, se que todo esto lo
 podría hacer con iptables pero es complicado para mi, ¿Hay alguna
 alternativa para configurar un cortafuegos en un servidor sin entorno
 gráfico y de forma amigable?  Ya sea mediante web (tengo apache
 instalado) o una herramienta de linea de comandos que sea amigable.

 Se que podría instalar una distro de las que se usan como cortafuegos,
 pero yo quiero una debian para instalar más cosas que también uso en
 este servidor.
 En la wiki apuntan varias opciones:

 Muchas gracias a todos, lleváis razón en que lo que necesito es
 iptables, pero no se si dispongo del tiempo para aprender lo necesario,
 no me gusta hacer un copiar y pegar sin entender lo que hace.
 Probaré las alternativas que me comentáis para quedarme con la que mejor
 se me adapte.

Hola no es complicado yo también decia eso, pero es necesario copiar
porque los comandos ya estan dados para algunos requerimientos, es
cuestion de cambiar cosas, no lo veo cosa del otro mundo, y si te
aseguro que aprenderás mucho con iptables puedes hacer muchas cosas y
entederás el funcionamiento de bastantes cosas (valga la redundancia),
yo aprendo poco a poco no todo de golpe, paso paso, segun tus
necesidades, no son necesarios todos los comandos, saludos...


 He probado a purgar firestarter y reinstalar desde 0 pero el error se
 reproduce supongo que debería de cargar el entorno gráfico y probar a
 configurarlo, pero teniendo en cuenta que esta es la tercera migración
 (en su día instale la versión 4) que realizo sobre la máquina y que
 además he jugado mucho con ella, voy a instalar la versión 6 desde 0 y
 a dejar solo las cosas que necesito aprovechando para intentar aprender
 iptables.

 Un saludo.

 Un saludos y otra vez muchas gracias.

Sonido en Debian 6

He instalado Debian 6 Squeeze y el sonido no me funciona la mayoría de los
días. Quiero escuchar música o ver cualquier video de internet y son pocos
los días que los puedo escuchar, pues va el video y no el sonido. Es raro
pues hay días que sí tengo sonido (son muy pocos).
Tengo otros sistemas operativos como, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora y en todos
va bien el sonido, pero con Debian 6  no consigo que funcione siempre, no se
a que es debido.
Quisiera que me pudieran ayudar ustedes, pues entro en foros y aplico las

Parece un problema común en Squeeze:

http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17t=60202

Mira a ver si los síntomas que tienes son similares a los que comentan en 
ese hilo del foro.

Otra cosa que puede comprobar es si hay algún servicio/aplicación en 
segundo plano que esté ocupando el sonido (lsof | grep snd).

No se si tu problema se trata de que al ver un video con flash en el

hasta que no cierras la pestaña o navegador si hace falta y lo libera
otra aplicacion no podrá acceder a la vez!!!

Fijate que el famoso mezclador de audio pulseaudio ni siquiera es
instalado por defecto en Debian, cosa que sí otras distros,,, es un
proyecto que no ha tenido muy buena acogida bajo Debian por cuestiones
de calidad de codigo. Se supone que si Flash tuviera buena integración

Flash y usar estandares abiertos en relacion a video en internet, ya

  Querido Tux!
 
  Muito obrigado pela sua ajuda e resposta ,vou prosseguir com as suas
  sugestões pra ver se dá certo. quanto ao hostapd eu tentei inúmeros
  tutoriais da rede e não fui bem sucedido em nenhum, me parece ser um
  conjunto de coisas que terei que obedecer cada passo. Vc teria algum
  tutorial em que vc mesmo tenha usado no seu ambiente e que esteja em
  produção agora? Agradeceria muito essa ajuda. Abraços,
 
  Moksha


 Bem, eu não conheço nenhum tutorial para isto.  Eu pelo menos nunca usei
 nenhum.

 O arquivo de configuração do hostapd é autoexplicativo, até por demais. É
 ler,
 ler mais uma vez, ler de novo, até entender. Enquanto não entender, não
 parar
 de ler. Dias, semanas, meses. Até entender.

 Tutoriais na net? bem, eu não costumo confiar e muito menos recomendar. A
 maioria é sobre uma versão especifica de software em um ambiente especifico
 de
 sistema operacional, e com um cenário especifico de necessidades. Se você
 seguir e funcionar, sem você entender, e sem ser no mesm
 ambiente/condições,
 você teve sorte.

 Tutos não costumam explorar nem 1/10 de todas as opções de nenhum
 software.
 Que, no caso do hostapd, todas estão devidamente explicadas no arquivo de
 configuração.

 A documentação oficial do software que acompanha o seu sistema deve ser a
 sua
 biblia/corão na hora de configurar o software. Especialmente os
 README.Debian.

 Mas olhando para o seu script, sei lá, vi que você usou bridge. Eu nunca
 usei
 bridge, nunca precisei, apesar do hostapd ter suporte para isso.

 No meu caso, que não possuo uma rede cabeada aqui em casa, acredito que não
 preciso de uma bridge. Eu simplesmente adiciono a placa wifi no
 /etc/network/interfaces, com um ip, mascara de rede, network, menos o
 gateway.
 Modifico o dhcpd para atribuir ips a partir desta interface wifi, com o ip
 da
 placa wifi sendo o roteador, dns, netbios, wpad, etc, passado para as
 estações.
 Como se fosse um roteador externo mesmo, sem bridge.

 Caso tenha uma rede cabeada junto do seu roteador e precise uni-la com a
 rede
 wireles, acredito que  seja necessário uma bridge e uma configuração mais
 sofisticada do arquivo interfaces.

 Algumas maneiras  de se lidar com isso:
 /usr/share/doc/hostapd/README.Debian

 Para um inicio rápido, uma configuração bem capada que você pode testar por
 você mesmo no hostapd.conf é a seguinte:

 ===/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf ===
 interface=wlan0
 driver=nl80211
 ssid=nomedasuaredewifi
 channel=5
 hw_mode=g
 auth_algs=1
 wpa=2
 wpa_passphrase=senha_da_sua_rede_vai_aqui_min_8_max_63_caracteres
 wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
 wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP
 rsn_pairwise=CCMP
 ===final=

 Adicionar as regras pertinentes no iptables para dar forward,   e bloquear
 o
 que não for para passar, proxy transparente, masquerade, configurar o seu
 dhcp,
 blablabla.

 Ah, se for testar isso, use um linux com kernel no minimo 2.6.32 (debian 6)
 O
 porque? problemas de firmware em kerneis antigos. Se for a fundo, instale a
 testing, e use o 2.6.38.

 É estável? Bem, sexta a noite transferi 5 isos de 4.5gb cada através de um
 hostapd, com uma plaquinha sem-vergonha usando drive atheros ath5k, em um
 sistema i386 com debian unstable 2.6.38. Em um hardware amd64 optheron ela
 não
 funcionou de maneira alguma, aliás, o micro nem dava boot. Então a coloquei
 em
 uma máquina x86_32 e fui feliz para sempre.

 Configuração default, com apenas algumas coisas mexidas, como senha, ssid e
 protocolo de autenticação. Mas não se iluda com este arquivinho mixuruca de
 configuração que eu passei acima, hostapd é muito poderoso, e vem com
 muitas
 opções habilitadas no arquivo original, que não estão ai em cima, e que
 podem
 fazer falta. Este dai é so para você fazer o minimo do minimo.

 Abraços
 Tux

Atualizações de Debian entre versões estáveis geralmente são tranquilas.
Há grandes mudanças em algumas peças (como slapd do lenny pro squeeze) e
que precisam de mais carinho e atenção, tirando isso e lendo o Release
Notes (as Notas de Lançamento) costuma ser bastante tranquilo.

Muitas vezes a oportunidade de instalar em outro hardware surge e
facilita a migração/atualização por conta de possibilidade de deixar o

de serviço durante a atualização, mas isso deve ser avaliado caso a caso.

This is probably not the case since nv is still the default driver

Tripwire can't send report by email‏‏

2011-04-24 Thread Cedric DC


Hello,

I repost my question because I don't have posted it in the right way. I'm 
sorry, it's my first post in the Debian mailing list.

I have setup tripwire on a Debian 6. I have tripwire integrity reports (pwr 
files) in the directory /var/lib/tripwire/report/
With the following command I can read the report.
twprint --print-report --twrfile proxytest-20110421-135326.twr  test-log

I would like send the report by email.

In the file /etc/cron.daily/tripwire
there is the command tripwire --check --quiet --email-report

If I try to launch this in command line I have this message :
root@proxytest:/etc/cron.daily# /usr/sbin/tripwire --test --email 
t...@mydomain.com
Sending a test message to: t...@mydomain.com
### Error: The SMTP server returned an error.
### Error Number:504 5.5.2 tripwire@proxytest: Sender address rejected: need
### fully-qualified address
### Exiting...
Email test failed.

proxytest is the hostname of my server

Do you have an idea to solve this issue ?
I
 tried to change in the twcfg the variable SMTPHOST by 
smtp.altitudetelecom.fr (my ISP SMTP relay) instead of localhost. But it
 doesn't work...

Thank you in advance for your help.

- select Record from input: Front Mic it doesn't record anything.
- select Record from input: Line In and attach a headset to the 3.5mm
  mic input (Laptop) it doesn't record anything.

Audio play works fine in all applications.

I am running Debian Lenny. How can I debug this?

Thanks!

Hello,

I repost my question because I don't have posted it in the right way. I'm 
sorry, it's my first post in the Debian mailing list.

I have setup tripwire on a Debian 6. I have tripwire integrity reports (pwr 
files) in the directory /var/lib/tripwire/report/
With the following command I can read the report.
twprint --print-report --twrfile proxytest-20110421-135326.twr  test-log

I would like send the report by email.

In the file /etc/cron.daily/tripwire
there is the command tripwire --check --quiet --email-report

If I try to launch this in command line I have this message :
root@proxytest:/etc/cron.daily# /usr/sbin/tripwire --test --email 
t...@mydomain.com
Sending a test message to: t...@mydomain.com
### Error: The SMTP server returned an error.
### Error Number:504 5.5.2 tripwire@proxytest: Sender address rejected: need
### fully-qualified address
### Exiting...
Email test failed.

proxytest
  is the hostname of my server

Do you have an idea to solve this issue ?
I
 tried to change in the twcfg the variable SMTPHOST by 
smtp.altitudetelecom.fr (my ISP SMTP relay) instead of localhost. But it
 doesn't work...

Thank you in advance for your help.

 No response.

You could try to report the bug upstream (and then tag the Debian bug 
accordingly), since this is clearly an upstream issue.

Of course, ideally would be for you to write the support for interlaced 
video modes, maybe with help from other people, but I'm not sure how 
many people are interested in this.

You might even face disinterest in merging in a possible patch as CRTs

Very true. But RAID is a useful first measure. One of my disks (a
Western Digital!) failed, and thanks to md I was up and running as soon
as I bought the replacement (well, before that, but I didn't want to
risk running a degraded array).

What about RAID + LVM snapshots? Is that almost as good a real backup?
It covers:
a) Hardware failures,
b) Accidental file deletions, corruptions,
c) Hosted filesystem (e.g. ext3) failures.
But doesn't cover:
a) LVM filesystem failures,
b) LVM and RAID driver problems.
But how likely are these if you are running Stable and don't go messing
with the partition table?

BTW, what type of backups do you use? It takes 5 DVDs just for my photo

Thanks, Camaleon. I found a lot of people using the same laptop with
Windows who have the same problem. In some cases a bios upgrade fixed
it, in others not. I tried to do this but it requires using an .exe
file, and though I could do this with both wine and dosemu I couldn't
obtain a suitable iso file to do the upgrade. (Also, I was a little
afraid of ending up with an unbootable machine, which a few people
report as happening.)

BUT I have found that by unloading and reloading the video module
(and/or the radeon module) I can sometimes obtain the requisite
backlight file in /sys/devices/virtual .., after which the screen either
becomes bright automatically or I can do it manually. So it seems to be
something to do with the order in which the modules are loaded, though I
can't figure out what. The effect is unpredictable - sometimes it works,
sometimes not.

It can be run, but the result is not what I expected (I don't want to

 1/ Jar file is executed but it opens with file roller (archiver

 get an error (cannot change permissions to file.jar)
 
 Did you try to change permissions from the server itself or from the
 client?  It sounds like you tried to change permissions from the client.

Yes, from the client. 

Server holding the share is a Windows XP and the perms for the volume are 
the standard (they are inherited, but group users -to which belong the 
debian user- are able to [x] modify, [x] read and execute, [x] read and 
lastly [x] write.

Over Nautilus I can see the jar file is set to 744 (rwxr--r-) and owned 
by my debian user/group but when I double click on it java is not 
launched, just the unarchiver utility.

 All this done over a NTFS volume managed by a Windows host. Maybe a
 samba share over a linux filesystem (ext3/4/reiser/xfs...) gives
 different results... dunno :-?
 
 I think Linux might give better control over things like permissions. 
 In my case, the server will be running Debian 6.x.

Now you mention... I've got a samba share on a Debian server (this is in 
another network), and windows clients accessing to it. I can make some 
tests here, will report back as soon as I can give any news on this :-)
 
 Thanks for trying that -- I'm still searching and testing, but I haven't
 gotten anything to work and I need to create a test jar file I can work
 with.

I'm also interested on this. 

I have a jar file (the application is a fax client for HylaFAX) that 
needs to be accessed/launched over the network because by doing so I only 
have to update one file and then all the clients are automatically 
updated.

In windows machines there was no problem in doing so but as you, I didn't 
want to mount a samba share on the linux clients and looked for a 
solution -this was a setup I've done years ago- and finally had to copy 
the jar file in every linux client... but now you raised the issue again 
I thought this could have been solved but it seems it isn't :-)

That usually means that remote server (located at mydomain.com) it has

succeeds. Failing that, I shall have to junk it.

 Thanks, Camaleon. I found a lot of people using the same laptop with
 Windows who have the same problem. In some cases a bios upgrade fixed
 it, in others not. I tried to do this but it requires using an .exe
 file, and though I could do this with both wine and dosemu I couldn't
 obtain a suitable iso file to do the upgrade. (Also, I was a little
 afraid of ending up with an unbootable machine, which a few people
 report as happening.)

Don't be afraid of a BIOS update. Laptops need this piece of code to be 
updated more often than desktops machines due to buggy firmware and 
notebook's embedded nature.

What happens here is that manufacturers do not always provide a utility 
to extract the update file in order you can put it into a USB/CD-ROM to 
run the update and sadly the complete procedure needs to be done in a 
windows environment.

(That's one of the reasons why it is a good idea to do not remove the 
windows partition although you don't use it on your day work :-/)

 BUT I have found that by unloading and reloading the video module
 (and/or the radeon module) I can sometimes obtain the requisite
 backlight file in /sys/devices/virtual .., after which the screen either
 becomes bright automatically or I can do it manually. So it seems to be
 something to do with the order in which the modules are loaded, though I
 can't figure out what. The effect is unpredictable - sometimes it works,
 sometimes not.

If you can wait with that bypass, msot sure is that any kernel update 
will solve the problem as you seemed to experience with 2.6.37 and 2.6.38 
branches.

There was an upgrade of 2.6.38 in unstable today and also an upgrade of

it did after a bit of fiddling. It's just hit and miss. I've come to the

if dealing with raw device is the case. one can always use

Re: Please recommend an external HDD enclosure

2011-04-24 Thread Zoran Kolic

 Not quite. With this set-up, I wanted the home partition on the external
 drive.

Yep, freebsd is a bit different. It assumes operator is not a
newbee at all.

 That is a potential candidate, because allthe installs mentione were on a
 laptop - HP nx6120 - which is now almost six years old.

Ah, I have nx9020, and freebsd on it. Works like a charm, so far.

 This was the problem. It showed up nowhere. If it had, I would have been
 able to mount it somehow, but I couldn't because as far as the O.S. was
 concerned, it didn't exist. With Debian, no problem! I'm writing to it now.
 But no chance with BSD.

You have to tell it where the partition is in fstab. I would try
with this:
  /dev/da0  /home   ufs rw,auto 0   0
Be carefull not to have more usb devices, since than the proper
device name could be different.
What is wrong with /home on hdd? You might have it on hdd and one
soft link to nonadmin user on usb drive. Like, root on hdd and
the directory for yourself as a simlink to usb drive, which has
to be mounted during boot process (fstab). Simply, make new user,
then remove his directory, make simlink, connect usb drive, par-
tition it and make file system, then add a line to fstab and do
reboot. Correct device should be /usr/home/name.
I'n not aware if debian could read and write to ffs2.
Best regards

Zoran

Re: Issue writing image to disk via dd

what about a binary diff on those two written images.

i guess the difference should be at the beginning / end of the device.
just diff their hex value instead of a real binary diff.
try

$ dd if=/dev/sda bs=1024 count=1 | hexdump -x  outfile

or

$ dd if=/dev/sda bs=1024 skip=30719 count=1 | hexdump -x  outfile
(31457280=1024*30720)

diff those outfiles and hopefully we can see what's happenning with
different dd builds.

If you can't beat them, join them :-)

Look at man networkmanager, it seems that you can tell NM to pass some

dispatcher.d/ folder.

Maybe you can create a simple script -carefully look for the script
requirements- that adds the option single-request value to /etc/
resolv.conf every time NM is in use.

Greetings,



Been through the docs several times, and maybe I missed it, but I find no
documentation on file names or formats for inserting persistent settings
into the /etc/resolv.conf rewrites done by nm.

Realistically, nm should be able to recognize
ANY 'options' lines in resolv.conf and leave it there.

Yes but no, that's a completely different approach (AFAIK, the

XML is a plain text format so you can open it with any text editor (gedit/
mcedit/vim/pico/emacs...). But docx's XML is raw format, meaning that you

  I want to be able to access either Java classes or an executable on a 
  shared volume on a server without having to mount the volume on the local 
  system. (There are a couple reasons for not wanting to mount.)  I know on 
  Windows I can list the files on an SMB share on another system and access 
  them using SMB/CIFS by just specifying the volume properly on the command 
  line.  I want to do something like that on Linux, but do more than just 
  listing the files or copying them to the local computer.
  
  I need a way, on Linux, to access files on a network share, which could be 
  SMB or NFS (or something else) without mounting the volume.  For example, 
  if I'm on System A and I have an executable on System B, and it's on a 
  network share on System B, is there any way to run that executable without 
  mounting that share as a volume on System A?
  
  Here's a possible workaround.  It involves mounting, but as a regular
  user.
  
  I'd use sshfs.  The remote server needs to have an ssh server running.
  Then you can run this:
  
  sshfs remoteserver:/some/path localdir
  
  Then you can ls localdir, or operate on any of the files there.
  
  If you use public key authentication and ssh-add, you can do this
  without needing to enter a password.
  
  I've never used this to access a non-linux machine, but in theory it
  should work on anything that is running an ssh server.
 
 That is mounting, but, as I mentioned in another email, clients that use 
 Linux on a desktop are a lot easier to deal with on these things than Windows 
 users.
 
 I still have to test on Windows to be sure that I can actually run a jar from 
 an unmounted SMB share.  I can operate on files like that, so I would think I 
 can run a jar that way.
 
 sshfs sounds like a good idea and I'll look into it.  That would work on both 
 the Mac and Linux.
 
 Thanks!
 
I'm not sure if cygwin has sshfs available, but if it does then you
could use sshfs from a Windows box.

What you are getting is a common/documented error, don't worry. To solve 
it you have to edit the XML file and remove the line at the top that 
links the XML with a stylesheet (XSL).

For example:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1?
?xml-stylesheet type=text/xsl href=file.xsl?
...

Just remove the second line.

Re: Using Files Without Mounting A Share From Another System

 Now you mention... I've got a samba share on a Debian server (this is in
 another network), and windows clients accessing to it. I can make some
 tests here, will report back as soon as I can give any news on this :-)

Tested and I cannot get it to work ;-(

What I've found out by searching the web is a possible workaround that 
makes use of GVFS and Fuse (this is under GNOME). 

By using these two daemons one can run gvfs-mount //server/share and it 
will recreate the full structure of the network share under ~/.gvfs/
share at server so java -jar pointing to this path does not complain 
and runs the file fine. 

This is something like doing mount -t cifs ... with the advantadge that 
this can be done by the user itself (no root password needed) so the 
virtual mount point can be mounted only when required -on the fly-, no 
need no edit /etc/fstab and define the static samba share on every boot.

list all the devices connected to the router

2011-04-24 Thread Kamaraju S Kusumanchi

I connect my PCs to internet via Verizon DSL router. When I go to 
192.168.1.1 in a browser (say firefox), I am able to see all the computers 
connected to this router.

However, from command line is there any way to probe for the list of IP 
addresses of all the machines connected to the router?

thanks

You could just portmap your LAN's range (i.e. 192.168.1.0-255) for active
IP's. Remember that your router will show up w/ an IP in use as well as each
computer you know about on your LAN, so if you have more IP's in use then
computers, start hunting *and secure your wireless*!!!

can u ssh / telnet to the router.
there might be native utilities that u can run from the router's shell.

for example, with dd-wrt firmware on supported routers, just run ifconfig.

Procmail question/puzzle

2011-04-24 Thread Paul E Condon

The following procmail recipe was copied form a blog about how to set
up Debian/Exim/Procmail/Mutt to use Bogofilter. It is intended to do a
first cut at getting rid of junk that confuses Bogofilter, and appears
just before the recipe that pipes incoming mail through Bogofilter.
But I can't figure out how it works (or even if it does work). It may
just be garbled in copying somewhere along the trail from an original
good idea to a hadly formed helpful hint on the internet. (Procmail
does have its own special tweeks to reg. expressions.) In its original
form it had a particularly infelicitous name for the action file,
which I have changed, but otherwise what you see is GUI window cut and
paste form the internet. Does this make sense? Explain, please.

I can't use the nouveau driver because the nouveau driver doesn't work

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=589452

No response.

You could try to report the bug upstream (and then tag the Debian bug
accordingly), since this is clearly an upstream issue.

Of course, ideally would be for you to write the support for interlaced
video modes, maybe with help from other people, but I'm not sure how
many people are interested in this.

The problem isn't that there is no support for interlaced video modes.
There IS support for interlaced video modes. The problem is that it
DOESN'T WORK. That's actually a good thing, because it means that the
fix is likely to be a fairly simple adjustment to existing code, rather
than writing new code to add new function. I don't get any error messages
stating unsupported video mode, or any such thing. There is no indication
from looking at the logs that there is anything wrong. I just get a black
screen.

Actually, now that I think about it, this bug report has probably been
sitting on the wrong queue all this time. I reported the bug against
package xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, which is a user-space X driver. But
the driver uses kernel mode setting (KMS) to set the actual video mode.
The same bug can be reproduced by using the following kernel boot parameter:

video=VGA-1:1024x768@87i

Except that in this case the blank screen is produced on the frame-buffer
text consoles (vt1-vt6) instead of the X server console (vt7). This tells
me that the bug is on the kernel-space side rather than the user-space
side. If I were the maintainer, that would probably have been the first
thing I would have tried to determine. The bug could be in the nouveau
kernel module, or perhaps in more-generic KMS code. To determine if the
problem is nouveau-specific, I would need a non-Nvidia video card whose
driver also uses KMS.

But that brings up another issue, which is reporting bugs upstream.
The official Debian policy is Don't report bugs upstream. I quote from
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting:

Don't file bugs upstream

If you file a bug in Debian, don't send a copy to the upstream software
maintainers yourself, as it is possible that the bug exists only in Debian.
If necessary, the maintainer of the package will forward the bug upstream.

But if the bug is clearly in upstream code, and the maintainer is ignoring
the bug report, what else can one do?

 Yes but no, that's a completely different approach (AFAIK, the
 application has to be prepared/packaged to use it and most of the java
 apps out there are not intended for that purpose, meaning they are not
 going to be launched/run online).
 
 It is simply a means of lauching an application over the network.

 Most specifically over http protocol, I'd say.

It is most commonly used over HTTP, but other protocols are available
(see below).


 Whether the application was intended to be launched in that way is
 irrelevant. 

 Nope, it isn't :-)

Oh yes it is. Try it.


 You need some sort of xml file defining the app to launch and while java  
 does not (want to) understand the smb:// protocol we are stuck.

 I can indeed play JNLP based java applications that are hosted online but 
 I cannot run the java application I want to run while is on samba share. 
 At least not directly ;-(

Try using a UNC path in the JNLP descriptor, e.g.,
file:server/share/app.jar. Windows clients will understand that.


 Once the user trusts the application, the local JVM will
 load and run the JAR file exactly as if it had originally resided on the
 local hard drive.

 Yes, but not all java applications are ready to be used with that method. 
 If you can tell me a sample case, I will test :-)

--- SNIP ---

I cannot provide you with a sample case to prove a negative! Instead I
invite you to download the sample .jnlp file in the link I provided
earlier and modify it to suit your LAN.

Good luck.

I think there must have been some hardware failure.

Libtrash: Have any of you successfully activated it?

2011-04-24 Thread Jason Hsu

Installing Libtrash from Synaptic is easy enough.  However, I can't for the 
life of me figure out how to activate it.

From 
http://www.techrepublic.com/article/safely-delete-linux-files-with-libtrash/5034918
 , I'm supposed to add the following code (had to use a different file for the 
LD_PRELOAD command) to /etc/profile: 

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libtrash/libtrash.so.2.4
alias trashon=”export TRASH_OFF=NO”
alias trashoff=”export TRASH_OFF=YES”

But entering trashon in the command line didn't work.

Adding that code to /home/(username)/.bashrc didn't work either.

Has ANYONE successfully implemented libtrash?

If libtrash is inherently ineffective, what are some lightweight alternatives I 
should use?

Re: Sending from newsreader

2011-04-24 Thread Florian Rehnisch

o Siard shiems...@kpnplanet.nl:
 I'm following this list through the newsgroup using Sylpheed.
 But if I send a message or reply to one, my message does not arrive.
 I know I can send a message by e-mail, even if I'm not subscribed.
 But how to reply to a message then? Sending by e-mail breaks the thread.
 Nonetheless, I see other posts that appear to be sent correctly from a
 newsreader. Is it those newsreaders that can handle this better?

Used to work w/o issues with tin and the linux.* gateway, let's see if
this message make it through.  Sending with tin.

Maybe the linux.* groups are not flagged as moderated on your news site,
or the forwarding of the news arts via email doesn't work.

Laptop won't boot after installation - disk error

I just did a fresh installation of Debian. Everything seemed to go off
correctly but when I came to reboot I got:

Non-system disk or disk error: replace and strike any key when ready.

I reinstalled twice and also reinstalled grub twice. No errors reported.
I suspect a hard disk failure or cmos problem. Any other ideas? Is it
possible to boot via a cdrom? All the files are there on the hard disk
when I look at it via rescue.

Anthony

Never reply by mail if you use a mail-to-news gateway that mangles
Message-IDs, like bofh.it.  Reply by news via the same gateway or
(preferably) use some other gateway that does not rewrite Message-IDs,
e.g. Gmane.

 How about images and text formatting? With plain text files you miss them

There are no images in the text above.  it is just that - simple text. Summer

I was not referring to a putative complicated document, but to this specific
