[Wheezy] gestion du réseau

2011-12-03 Thread JB
bonjour,
quelque soit le cas, je boote toujours en DHCP!
j'ai pourtant implémenté  le fichier interface,
j'ai utilisé les outils graphique pour modifieer un réseau,
au  moment de valider, le bouton reste grissé

comment créer une ip fixe que je verrai   avec ifconfig
à vous lire en ce samedi pluvieux

   Bonjour à tous,
   
   désolé pour ce HS.
   
   Je cherche un ou plusieurs logiciels libres de comparaison
   d'images qui pourrait fonctionner en ligne de commande.
   
   Voici le problème que j'ai à résoudre:
   j'ai des centaines de gros fichiers de données (2.2Gb en ASCII,
   500M en binaire). Ces données contiennent chacun un maillage. Ce
   maillage a la même topologie entre ces fichiers de données mais
   se déforme. La déformation est quasi périodique. Je cherche
   donc à classer ces données en sous-catégories contenant chacune
   un type de maillage déformé. J'aimerais utiliser un logiciel de
   comparaison d'images pour tester la ressemblance des maillages.
   
   Si vous avez des idées, je suis preneur.
   Merci d'avance,
   Guillaume

Los usuario LDAP se deberían añadir usando su herramienta y los usuarios

porque una carpeta al copiarla ocupa el doble de su tamaño original?

2011-12-03 Thread Flako
   Hola
   Tengo una caprteta   /path/pepe   que es un backup de un host
windows  generada con backuppc  que al copiarla a otro disco ocupa el
doble de su tamaño

es decir, un #cp   /path/pepe  /pathDestino/pepe  -R y me queda:

  du -sh   /path/pepe /pathDestino/pepe
6,5G   /path/pepe
   12G /pathDestino/pepe


  Si la copia la realizo con   #cp  -a  /path/pepe
/pathDestino/pepe , las dos carpetas quedan bien, lo que me da a
suponer que hay algun enlace (simbólico/duro) en  /path/pepe, pero no
logro encontrarlo..
   He intentado encontrar en enlace simbolico  con  find  -depth
-type l -print0 , pero no aparece
   he buscado algun enlace duro con   find  -depth   -type f -print0
| xargs -0 ls -i1  pero no veo inodos duplicados..

   Las dos carpetas tienen la misma cantidad de archivos


   find  /pathDestino/pepe   pathDestino_pepe_find.log
find  /path/pepe   path_pepe_find.log

# cat path_pepe_find.log| wc
 51973  331386 6519250
   # cat pathDestino_pepe_find.log| wc
 51973  331386 6155439



He hecho muchas otras cosas, pero ya no se que mas hacer..
necesito otro punto de vista
Porque sucede la diferencia de tamaño?



 Gracias por llegar hasta aquí.

¿Por qué quieres unir todos los archivos .VOB?

Normalmente, los archivos .VOB se encuentran separados, no en un único

el archivo .VOB de mayor tamaño suele ser el que contiene el vídeo

Saludos Camaleon

En este caso, el video esta separado entre 3 .vob (un 4to es la
presentacion de dvd donde se escoge subtitulos, escenas, etc). Pero
desafortunadamente para el caso de este film, no todo esta en un solo .vob
En todo caso, si no consigo algo que me sirva nativamente en linux, creo
que pasare a usar algun programa desde un win7 de virtualbox, pero queria
primero ver si esto no seria necesario, ya que me niego a instalar wine y
ensuciar el sistema con cosas que corran en este.

    He hecho muchas otras cosas, pero ya no se que mas hacer..
 necesito otro punto de vista

     Gracias por llegar hasta aquí.



Ya se ha hablado alguna vez en la lista de esto.
Cuando se crea un fichero y se hacen llamadas que escriben en
posiciones adelantadas pueden ser optimizadas por el sistema de
ficheros. (ver: man fseek, por ejempo). Al hacer un cp se lee y copia
el fichero byte a byte con lo que no es posible esta optimización. Si
haces un tar y luego lo desempaquetas creo que esto no pasa.

Si realmente quieres ver que son iguales usa un md5sum con los ficheros.

Re: Unir archivos .VOB en un solo archivo de video

2011-12-03 Thread Jose Diaz
Muchas gracias Hector

Estuve viendo con mencoder y baje de repositorios el vobcopy y resultar que
con cat podia simplemente de una concatenarlos y tener el archivo
requerido, uni los 4 archivos y efectivamente obtuve un archivo con toda la
pelicula.

Me alegra mucho el no haber tenido que recurrir a wine (algo que trato de
evitar en lo posible) o tener que recurrir a un windows de virtualbox.

Muchas gracias... un comando siempre presente que por fin ya me toco
recurrir  y todo de forma nativa, sencilla y rapida. Muy agradecido!

Saludos, buen fin de semana.

 Puedes usar el venerable comando cat:

 completo, los otros pueden ser prescindibles.

 En este caso, el video esta separado entre 3 .vob (un 4to es la
 presentacion de dvd donde se escoge subtitulos, escenas, etc). Pero
 desafortunadamente para el caso de este film, no todo esta en un solo
 .vob 

No es necesario que lo esté. Los .VOB los controla el reproductor 
multimedia automáticamente por medio de los archivos de apoyo (.IFO), el 
usuario no tiene que hacer nada.

 En todo caso, si no consigo algo que me sirva nativamente en linux,
 creo que pasare a usar algun programa desde un win7 de virtualbox, pero
 queria primero ver si esto no seria necesario, ya que me niego a
 instalar wine y ensuciar el sistema con cosas que corran en este.

Un dato que no pusiste es si los discos de que tamaño son?
o mas bien el tamaño de las particiones de origen y destino
si son notoriamente diferentes el tema es que tenes una entrada maxima en el
directorio del disco,
por ende el tamaño de los bloques es mayor y si copias una mayoria de
archivos pequeños
estos ocupan un bloque completo en eldisco no importando el tamaño que tengan

entonces si tenes un bloque de 4k y un archivo de 100b el archivo ocupa 4k
si el disco destino tiene bloque de 8k el mismo archivo ocupa los 8k

y asi ocupo el doble

 Creo que he encontrado un problema con respecto a mi propio tema...

 Estoy tratando de hacer memoria y pudiera ser que no quise instalar
 feather, si me aparece el logo debian debia haber instalado debian.

 hice tantas pruebas con diversas distros que simplemente pude haberme
 equivocado (lo mas seguro).

 pero he intentado instalar squeeze mediante usb y me sucedio lo mismo
 que cuando intente instalar y fue la ultima vez que pude ingresar a mi
 sistema (snif, snif).

 He intentado instalar squeeze con un disco duro nuevo mediante usb y
 la constante que he tenido desde este problema es que al llegar al
 analisis de discos para posteriormente venir la particion, se queda
 crasheado (estatico) en el 50% de analisis de discos. Fue cuando ahi
 al suceder esto, simplemente tuve que hacer CTRL+C y cancelar la
 instalacion.

 Creo que fue la version SQUEEZE stable BUSSINESCAR, ahora baje la
 NETINSTALL y el mismo problema, cuando utilizo alguna otra distro
 simplemente no tengo ningun error.

 ¿Podria ser un error de DEBIAN SQUEEZE STABLE?.

 me suena a que cuando hiciste el usb te equivocaste de disco. Algo como
 tenías que hacer
 dd if=debian.img of=/dev/sdX
 donde X=unidad del usb, pero pusiste
 dd if=debian.img of=/dev/sdY
 donde Y=tu disco duro

 ¿Alguna idea para recuperar mis archivos?.

 hacer una imagen del disco en otra parte (para no trabajar sobre los
 datos originales) y probar suerte con photorec o similares

Ok, me parece buena idea, si llego a perder los datos al intentar
repararlos, entonces tengo otra imagen y asi, hasta que los recupere
definitivamente (relativo al decir definitivamente).

Gracias

Yasaklı Sitelere Erişim

2011-12-03 Thread Koray Bicer
Merhaba

OpenDNS, Google DNS ve daha birkaç farklı DNS adreslerini denememe rağmen 
yasaklı sitelerin bazılarına ulaşamıyorum.  Tüm güncellemeleri yüklenmiş Debian 
Squeeze kullanıyorum ve gerek Debian gerekse Windows kullanan diğer arkadaşlar 
yasaklı sitelere erişebildiklerini söylediler. Sorunsuz biçimde tüm siteleri 
açabilmek için ne yapmalıyım?

Yardım için şimdiden teşekkür ederim.

 How to enable it?? is it possible??

 My understanding is that by default, GNOME 3 desktop does not correspond
 to a directory as in previous GNOME and Mac (for example). But there's an
 option in gnome-tweak-tool to tell the file manager (nautilus, I assume) to
 manage the desktop. I haven't tried it, but it sounds like it should do what
 you want.




 If  you can't put icons on your desktop, what good is the desktop?  You
 might as well have DOS!

I'm not using GNOME, but my desktop doesn't have any icons. Beside I
always have some windows maximized, which would make them quite
useless. And desktop without icons is good for managing _windows_ ;P

Re: Passwordless root shell is offered when boot problem occurs.

2011-12-03 Thread Sthu Deus
Thank You for Your time and answer, Arno:

 Hmm. I thought everybody has the same OS behavior in such
 condition... And the problem here is only improper/default
 configuration.

That could very well be, but I haven't had a boot problem in years
(well, except when trying out systemd). A standard Debian config should
not offer a passwordless root shell unless you explicitly ask for it,

Oh, no! I didn't! :)

Do You have an idea where to look for that? - I have no ideas,
absolutely.

Early boot messages should be found in /var/log/boot, but bootlogd
seems very hitmiss on my systems. Filesystem checks are logged
in /var/log/fsck.

Same here.

It's not about emergency situations, although it certainly can be used
as such. It's about accesss: if anyone has physical access to your
machine, there are so many ways to access your system that it is silly
to protect against one of them.

That's right. But it is just a link in a chain of undertakings to
protect the computer totally or, to make one's life harder. :)

On other hand, if we pursue this idea - that physical access makes a
host absolutely undefended, - we can let root account to be
password-less - for why worrying?

I understand the things You are speaking about - but I want ot all I
can to make it more secure - even having physical access to the host.

So yes, protecting yourself from physical attacks by insisting on a
root password is abnormal behaviour. How are you going to prevent an
attacker from opening your PC and connecting the harddisk to his own
machine?

Probably, to supply a dynamite? :) - I think it goes beyond Debian
security, doesn't it?

 - and in case I want to commit
 what I have targeted, I have to develop the solution myself (that is
 there is no a config. file that I might simply turn on the password
 prompt for root shell in such cases)?

In short, yes. If you really want to be that paranoid (and there are
good reasons for it, especially on laptops), you should be looking at
encryption as your solution (dm-crypt, truecrypt, bitlocker), not
passwords.

Oh, OK... Thanks again.

 Is the M Audio Delta 66 the only needed device? If so I would disable onboard

Re: pasuspender syntax

 I'm attempting to use pasuspender to stop pulseaudio when I run an app.
 the man page is not helpful nor is -h. What is the correct syntax to
 suspend pulse audio and just use alsa ?

 pasuspender --server=ALSA does nothing, so I guess its wrong.

Here you have a sample:

***
http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#Audacity

Audacity doesn't support PulseAudio, nor Esound for the moment. You'll 
have to kill or suspend pulseaudio before you use this application. 
Audacity uses the PortAudio cross-platform Audio API which doesnt support 
pulseaudio. Some work was started on making portaudio support PulseAudio 
but this does not appear to be under active development currently and 
does not work in it's current state.

Audacity can use OSS for sound input and sound output. By changing the 2 
settings in preferences to /dev/dsp, and running audacity as

padsp audacity

you route OSS sound through pulseaudio and can have successful playback 
and recording with audacity. You could also set the sound input to be 
ALSA which (for regular users) is less likely to be blocked by another 
application, as recording with multiple applications at once is less 
commonly done

Using pasuspender to momentarily suspend pulseaudio is another way to use 
Audacity.

pasuspender -- audacity argument
***

Maybe you can apply something similar for your aplication.

 I have tried following the Debian Wireless-HowTo and other related Linux

 In Gnome, using network-manager (applet) there is nothing about wireless

It has been detected because you know what's the chipset device ID ;-)

To be sure run lspci | grep -i broadcom

I already told you.

 and what are the next steps to get WiFi working? 

If you have followed all of the required steps, there are no errors at

a) Report it at Debian BTS
b) Try with another wireless driver that supports your device (wl).

 That's reassuring.  I guess I'll leave everything as it stands.  Thanks.

My wild guess is that, being PA a network sound server, it has to have a 
way for managing different user settings, similar in the way a web server 
does, and that's the reason for the cookies: to keep a track of client's 
tasks for the audio stack.

Re: Passwordless root shell is offered when boot problem occurs.

2011-12-03 Thread Sthu Deus
Thank You for Your time and answer, Joel:

Recently had fun with Fedora, when it didn't like the way I specified
my HDs, it would drop me into the ctrl-d prompt, but I couldn't go
anywhere beyond that. Any key I pressed, including ctrl-d, would cycle
me another ctrl-d prompt.

When I had the prompt - I had no problems w/ getting root shell since I
correctly entered its password. But situations probably differ in what
has been mounted - root or of secondary importance (like /usr)
partitions.

If / partition was absent/not-mounted then, what did provide the prompt itself 
- the linux (kernel)? Were
there any parameters passed to kernel at boot (in grub or whatever loader You 
used)?

There's a half-fixed bug on that still over there, but I'm not
interested in testing any further, so I simply changed my fstab to
spec the drives by UUIDs. (I always forget the command for getting the
UUID from the drive. These days, I list /dev/disk/something and use
the extra information. I think that's the same on Debian. Yeah, I'm
logged in on Fedora right now.) Similar issues, different symptoms,
I'm thinking. It'd try to offer my the password prompt, but it wasn't
mounting the root drive, so there was no /bin/passwd to run, and it
just exceptioned it's way back to the ctrl-d prompt.

Yea, it seems logical.

Anyway, the question I'd ask is whether you can force this behavior if
your configuration is correct. (By current definition of correct,
which appears to be to refrain from trying to mount /dev/sdb4 and such
in your fstab, and mount UUID=long-hex-string instead. Or
/dev/mapper/vol-group for LVM volumes.) And, I guess you imply that
you can mount your drives in this password-less shell, but is that the
case?

Yes, the drives are mounted OK. I just skipped one - of secondary
importance to boot process when ended up w/ password-less root shell -
I was amazed - how easily it is for Debian to get the shell - just boot
it skipping a single partition and You are there - whole the system is
under Your control - no need even to take off the drive or boot own OS
from other media!

Thanks Bob, Tom and Porcia ! Bob's Bohr model of linux kernel was an
excellent one. I was just curious to know the nomenclature of that
package  now i have an idea of what happens. I'm happy with current
kernel because all my hardware is detected/working properly, so I find
no reason to upgrade to 3.1.x.y. I must congratulate Debian team for

 Here you have a sample:

 Audacity doesn't support PulseAudio, nor Esound for the moment. You'll 
 have to kill or suspend pulseaudio before you use this application. 
 Audacity uses the PortAudio cross-platform Audio API which doesnt support 
 pulseaudio. Some work was started on making portaudio support PulseAudio 
 but this does not appear to be under active development currently and 
 does not work in it's current state.
 
 Audacity can use OSS for sound input and sound output. By changing the 2 
 settings in preferences to /dev/dsp, and running audacity as
 
 padsp audacity
 
 you route OSS sound through pulseaudio and can have successful playback 
 and recording with audacity. You could also set the sound input to be 
 ALSA which (for regular users) is less likely to be blocked by another 
 application, as recording with multiple applications at once is less 
 commonly done
 
 Using pasuspender to momentarily suspend pulseaudio is another way to use 
 Audacity.

 Maybe you can apply something similar for your aplication.

Adding subtitles to video file

2011-12-03 Thread Rodolfo Medina
Hi to all Debian users.

I installed `subtitleeditor' in my Lenny system in order to add comments to a
certain video file but, when I try to open that file from within
subtitleeditor, the following error message appears:


GStreamer plugins missing.

The playback of this movie requires the following decoders which
are not installed: 

MPEG-1 System Stream demuxer


Can anybody please suggest the proper package(s) required so to work that out?
I tried installing gstreamer-tools and gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, useless both.

Thanks for any help
Rodolfo

Re: Passwordless root shell is offered when boot problem occurs.

2011-12-03 Thread Arno Schuring
Sthu Deus (sthu.d...@gmail.com on 2011-12-03 17:53 +0700):
 [..] A standard Debian config
 should not offer a passwordless root shell unless you explicitly ask
 for it,
 
 Oh, no! I didn't! :)
 
 Do You have an idea where to look for that? - I have no ideas,
 absolutely.

Just as a pointer, you can get a passwordless root shell by:

- interrupting initramfs: specify break=init on the kernel command
  line
- overriding init: specify init=/bin/bash on the kernel command line
- configuring inittab: either add a bootwait line spawning /bin/*sh
  or tell getty to bypass login with -l /bin/*sh
- setting SULOGIN=yes in /etc/default/rcS, and either
  a) locking the root account (passwd -l root), which will give you
 sulogin: root account is locked, starting shell
  b) deleting root's password (passwd -d root), which will give you
 Press enter for maintenance(or type Control-D to continue)

All four methods above will give you an unconditional root shell. Since
yours only spawns on error, none of the above applies.

 
 On other hand, if we pursue this idea - that physical access makes a
 host absolutely undefended, - we can let root account to be
 password-less - for why worrying?

Setting a root password will still protect you from remote users that
have access to login programs (such as su). Locking the root account
reduces the attack surface to your sudoers configuration.


Regards,
Arno

 Thank You for Your time and answer, Camaleón:
 
You mean Busybox? :-?
 
 I do not know - it appears when something wrong during boot process.

It should be printed out, something like:

***
BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian x-x-x-x) Built-in shell (xxx) ***
 
 Oh, no. It's not my case. Nor I have the packages installed.

Hmmm... are you sure? It is installed by default in all of my Lenny 
systems and also in wheezy.

sm01@stt008:~$ dpkg -l | grep busy
ii  busybox  1:1.10.2-2 Tiny 
utilities for small and embedded system

If that's what you get it cames out when there is a problem when
booting, for instance, a missing kernel module for the hard disk
controller, a bad hard disk identifier at GRUB's menu file, etc. So
instead having you no option at all and display a black screen (because
the system is halted), we are presented with the BusyBox.
 
 That's great, just why not to protect it w/ a password prompt? - Or
 again, nobody listening, no exploits are available, etc?! ;o)

It is very easy to access into a system when you stand in front of it, I 
mean, when you have physical access to the computer. Unless you have 
secured GRUB with a password, you can append init=/bin/sh to the kernel 
line at boot menu and then again, no password will be prompted for you.

 That's good, but how I can provide password prompting? I remember in
 past times there was a prompt for Ctrl-d to press and type root's
 password.

I think that's a different thing :-?
 
 For sure, it is.
 
For example, when you go fall into init 1 you are prompted with root's
password to get into the maintenance console or continue by pressing
Ctrl +D, so here you are indeed asked for root's password because you
are inside the full shell and not inside the limited BusyBox
environment.
 
 So, where I get into - in my case - having no busybox installed, yet
 password-less root shell is granted? 8-0

I'm not sure about the scenario you are describing... I think busybox is 
installed by default and comes up when there are boot problems.

Hi I've just tried that , and there is a minor problem as it tries to start the

are starting from a shell script is awkward.
However, I found that /usr/bin/pulseaudio --kill does what it says, BUT 
pulseaudio immediately respawns.
I've looked in pulseaudio --help, but I can't see a switch to disable the 
respawn.

Is there a clean way of stopping the respawn ?

  Thanks its the last bit I'm confused with argument
 
 Try without any argument :-)
 
  I've tried -s alsa, but that doesn't do any thing
 
 If I'm reading right the manual page, -s is not listed as a valid
 argument but an option, so:
 
 pasuspender -s alsa -- application
 
 
 
 
 Hi I've just tried that , and there is a minor problem as it tries to
 start the application, which if you are starting from a shell script is
 awkward. 

Okay, just a wild guess. Now is when you can make use of an argument 
you can pass to the application so it starts in the background. Because 
in the end you wanted to run the application, right?

 However, I found that /usr/bin/pulseaudio --kill does what it
 says, BUT pulseaudio immediately respawns. I've looked in pulseaudio
 --help, but I can't see a switch to disable the respawn.
 
 Is there a clean way of stopping the respawn ?

Sorry, for this one I can't make further guesses... hum, wait (heck, 
you're lucky that Google behaves like a mind reader ;-) )

Creating PXE boot image

2011-12-03 Thread lrhorer
I have PXE booting working from my Debian Squeeze server, and I can 
launch the Debian Network installer on a machine supporting PXE.  I 
can;t quite figure out how to create a boot image from a connfigured 
Linux workstation, though.  IOW, I have a workstation with a hard disk 
installed that has Debian configured and working the way I want, with 
all the right utilities and device drivers.  How can I take that system 
and create an image that will boot on diskless workstations running PXE?  
If it matters, the workstation is using GRUB to boot Linux. I don;t 
require this to be the case for the diskless clients, but I don't mind, 
either, as long as everything loads properly.

I think that fallback is a term that sounded too techy for the easy-
peasy GNOME standards and they don't like their users act like techies.

Its not really the same discussion, I just reported a name change on the menu, 
I'm using gnome3-shell on
both this and the laptop, which is still running fedora, which is ahead of 
debian Sid.
When they catch up, I'll move the laptop to Wheezy.
It really is a shame that the extensions to gnome-shell haven't been added to 
the repos.
IMO had the deb devs done that, 80 % of the winges would not have happened.
The only extension I'd like is the one which puts shutdown on the menu as well 
as suspend.
Maybe because the debian maintainer is using laptops and just shutting the lid 
is good enough.
I would like to move the hot spot to the bottom LH or RH corner.

Re: setting up WiFi adapter (Broadcom BCM4321 14e4:4328 chipset) in latest version of Debian

2011-12-03 Thread Colin Reinhardt
Following all of your suggestions, here is what I've been able to discover:

My laptop is HP Touchsmart tx2-1025dx (AMD Turion x2 64 cpu), and
there is an LED on front for the wireless,
which turns green when it is enabled/active (in Windows OS at least). It has
never come on in Debian yet (stays orange = disabled)

lspci shows:
08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03)

after a fresh reboot,
lsmod does not show anything I can find loading related to wifi or broadcom...
 (what does this mean, or what should I be looking for)?

however,
After issuing 'modprobe b43' I get:
root@HPTx2:/home/colinrei# lsmod | grep b43
b43   146204  0
rng_core3006  1 b43

pcmcia 19474  2 b43,ssb
pcmcia_core24118  3 b43,ssb,pcmcia

based on what I can discern from the broadcom wifi driver info website,
my pci wifi-chipset should be supported by the 'b43' driver module.

dmesg shows:
[1.002837] b43-pci-bridge :08:00.0: PCI INT A - GSI 17

[ 6230.544133] b43-pci-bridge :08:00.0: PCI INT A - GSI 17

Also, just installed the 'lshw' package and it shows me this:

Using the Wicd network manager applet in Gnome shows:

I also tried adding pci=assign-busses to the kernel command line at

So... can anyone see the problem? Suggestions or next steps to
troubleshoot? Thank you,

 Okay, then better if you tell what's the version you are running
 (squeeze, testing or sid) :-)

 I have tried following the Debian Wireless-HowTo and other related Linux
 WiFi HowTos.

 I downloaded and installed the firmware-b43-installer and b43-fwcutter,
 (synaptic shows them as installed packages now).

 Did you also load the kernel module? lsmod | grep b43 will tell.

 In Gnome, using network-manager (applet) there is nothing about wireless
 networks shown at all, only my wired LAN ethernet network is an option.

 How can I tell if my PCI card is being detected

 It has been detected because you know what's the chipset device ID ;-)

 To be sure run lspci | grep -i broadcom

 and firmware loaded correctly,

 I already told you.

 and what are the next steps to get WiFi working?

 If you have followed all of the required steps, there are no errors at
 dmesg and still the card is not detected by NM you can:

 a) Report it at Debian BTS
 b) Try with another wireless driver that supports your device (wl).

Re: setting up WiFi adapter (Broadcom BCM4321 14e4:4328 chipset) in latest version of Debian

On Sat, 03 Dec 2011 09:51:13 -0800, Colin Reinhardt wrote:

Colin, thanks for the information but it's better that you keep a bottom-
posting style, which means replying to the sender at the bottom of his/
her reply, not at the top, and it is also better that you reply in 
chuncks to each of the questions, not in a whole paragraph. This makes 
the mailing list a better place to live and stay ;-)

 Following all of your suggestions, here is what I've been able to
 discover:

Please, tell us what's the Debian release you are using (cat /etc/
debian_version will tell).

 My laptop is HP Touchsmart tx2-1025dx (AMD Turion x2 64 cpu), and there
 is an LED on front for the wireless, which turns green when it is
 enabled/active (in Windows OS at least). It has never come on in Debian
 yet (stays orange = disabled)

Then you have to enable. 

How do you enable/disable from windows? Is there a switch to turn it on/
off or are you using a software application for this task?

Run (as root): rfkill list

 lspci shows:
 08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n
 (rev 03)

Okay, so the wifi adapter hardware is properly detected.
 
 after a fresh reboot,
 lsmod does not show anything I can find loading related to wifi or
 broadcom...
  (what does this mean, or what should I be looking for)?

This can mean that the wifi switch is off so nothing triggers the wifi 
adapter and so that kernel does not load the driver.

 however,
 After issuing 'modprobe b43' I get:
 root@HPTx2:/home/colinrei# lsmod | grep b43 
 b43   146204  0
 rng_core3006  1 b43
 mac80211  137372  1 b43
 cfg80211  101496  2 b43,mac80211 
 led_class   2433  1 b43
 ssb38698  1 b43

 pcmcia 19474  2 b43,ssb 
 pcmcia_core24118  3 b43,ssb,pcmcia

Okay, but this has to be automatically done. If you have a kernel module 
loaded by force (manually) it does not mean the device will be working. 
This module has to be loaded automatically, at system start up.

 based on what I can discern from the broadcom wifi driver info website,
 my pci wifi-chipset should be supported by the 'b43' driver module.

I agree. Indeed, you can use both, b43 and wl.
 
 dmesg shows:

(...)

 Also, just installed the 'lshw' package and it shows me this:

(...)

 ifconfig -a (as root) shows:
  entries for: eth0, lo, pan0.  Nothing else...?
 
 Using the Wicd network manager applet in Gnome shows:
  wired network connected,
  no wireless networks found

This is because the adpater seems to be off so GNOME cannot see it.
 
 I also tried adding pci=assign-busses to the kernel command line at
 startup, but that doesnt seem to have done it either.
 
 So... can anyone see the problem? Suggestions or next steps to
 troubleshoot? Thank you,

I would start by ensuring the wireless adapter is properly turned on 
(wifi led button → green) so the system can automatically load the b43 
kernel driver at booting.

cron.daily error for apt

2011-12-03 Thread Pierre Frenkiel

Looking in the log for cron.daily, I discovered the following problem:

  /etc/cron.daily/apt contains a line:
  apt-key net-update
  which gives:
  ERROR: no location for the archive-keyring given

  the net-update command is accepted, although it is neither in the man nor
  in apt-key --help

  apt-key update gives no error.

Is the bug in /etc/cron.daily/apt  or in apt-key (or both)?

GRUB2 themes

2011-12-03 Thread Hugo Vanwoerkom

Hi,

I finally switched to grub-pc from grub-legacy. About time. Did it a 
year ago too but went back, I forget why.


Of course there is no comparison between the 2.

Found a terrific theming guide by Towheed Mohammed:
http://www.4shared.com/file/lFCl6wxL/grub_guidetar.html

Very nicely done indeed.

Except I can't get the scrollbar to work.

IMO it is too bad that Debian does not put a nice theme together, it 
would look so much better at a first install.


Are there Debian Grub2 themes? All I see is Ubuntu...

Corrupted security update package files

2011-12-03 Thread Bill Wohler
When updating lenny this morning (yes, upgrading is on my todo list), I
got the following error:

/var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Looking on the mailing list, it appears to be a problem with squeeze as
well. I tried clearing the files in /var/lib/apt/lists. I still got a
zero-sized Packages file:

Re: relocation error: and segmentation fault

2011-12-03 Thread Arno Schuring
Dennis Wicks (w...@mgssub.com on 2011-12-03 13:38 -0600):
 It looks like I am going to have to restore some libraries

 Is there any way that I can refresh or reinstall my system

Can you still run dpkg? Then your best bet is to use a different
machine to download just enough to get apt working again (that's only
libc6, libgcc1, libstdc++6 and zlib1g on testing). If some configure
script cannot run because of a missing library, you can postpone it by
using dpkg --unpack instead of dpkg -i.

When you have apt working, you can work on restoring the rest of your
system. My advice would be to (re)install aptitude first, see below why.


You can use ldd to find out which libraries are missing, and dpkg -S to
get the package to which they belong. As an example:

$ ldd `which apt-get`
linux-gate.so.1 =  (0xf7757000)
libapt-pkg.so.4.10 = /usr/lib/libapt-pkg.so.4.10 (0xf7634000)
[..]
libdl.so.2 = /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (..)
libz.so.1 = /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xf739)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7758000)
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/libz.so.1
zlib1g: /usr/lib/libz.so.1

If libraries are missing, they will show as '= not found'. That means
you will have to guess the full path, use another system as reference,
use apt-file to search for the package, or just guess. Most libraries
are in /lib or /usr/lib on Squeeze, but on Wheezy you'll find some in
the old location and most in an architecture-specific location such as
shown above.


When you have aptitude working, you're almost home. A full system
rebuild can be done with
# aptitude reinstall ~i

Or just the libraries:
# aptitude reinstall ~slibs
(Don't about the tons of not installed, so not reinstall messages).


Best of luck,
Arno

I noticed it as well. I commented out the entry:

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib

in my /etc/apt/sources.list file, in the meantime.
As this is not a production machine, I'll wait a day or so and try
again.

The fix is possibly easy enough if you knew which entry had the corrupt
package header.

.. and put the following in sources.list:

I've bypassed our local debcache and tried other mirrors. The only
thing I found that stops this error is removing the deb ..
security.debian.org line. Don't like to update like that, and iirc
there aren't alternative mirrors for security.debian.org.

If you look at the sndfile-programs package description in

http://security.debian.org/dists/lenny/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz

it is followed by the lines below, which are different to the layout
of the rest of the file, and do seem to fit the error message.

None


I'm going to wait a few days before updating again. If there is
something wrong with this package description, I don't think I'll be
the only one affected. I'd love to hear better ideas.

What software package are you using? pxelinux?


launch the Debian Network installer on a machine supporting PXE.  I
can;t quite figure out how to create a boot image from a connfigured
Linux workstation, though.  IOW, I have a workstation with a hard disk
installed that has Debian configured and working the way I want, with
all the right utilities and device drivers.  How can I take that system
and create an image that will boot on diskless workstations running PXE?
If it matters, the workstation is using GRUB to boot Linux. I don;t
require this to be the case for the diskless clients, but I don't mind,
either, as long as everything loads properly.




If you mean that you want to transfer _the_whole_ file system when booting.

You could try to use the initial ram file system for doing this,
but you will need a _lot_ of ram for this and it may take a while for 
large images.


A slightly saner approach would be mounting the root filesystem via NFS.

Setting this up requires on the server:
A kernel, an initial ramdisk image(+NFS client), a pxe boot 
image(syslinux's pxelinux works alright) which loads the kernel, a tftp 
server for transferring the kernel image, a dhcp server for setting up 
IP addresses, an NFS server to export the client's file system... 
possibly more?


On the client(workstation):
A pxe compliant network card that is not too old,

WARNING:
There are HOWTOs around which advise you to flash your card's BIOS using 
a custom variant. This is not necessary for pxelinux.

Re: cron.daily error for apt

 Looking in the log for cron.daily, I discovered the following problem:
 
   /etc/cron.daily/apt contains a line:
   apt-key net-update

I do not see such a line in Squeeze or Sid.  What version of apt do
you have installed?

  $ dpkg --status apt | awk '/Version:/{print$NF}'
  0.8.10.3+squeeze1

   which gives:
   ERROR: no location for the archive-keyring given
 
   the net-update command is accepted, although it is neither in the man nor
   in apt-key --help
 
   apt-key update gives no error.
 
 Is the bug in /etc/cron.daily/apt  or in apt-key (or both)?

Or is /etc/cron.daily/apt from an version that has already been
updated?  That line doesn't appear in Lenny, Squeeze or Sid.

Are you actualy running Ubuntu?  Ubuntu has a call to apt-key in their
version of the package.

The Debian man page for apt-key says:

   net-update
   ...
   APT in Debian does not support this command and relies on
   update instead, but Ubuntu's APT does.

 What's the significance of this lock file?

That zero sized file is normal.  It is used by apt to semaphore itself
so that it doesn't run twice at the same time and corrupt the internal
state.  Have you ever notice apt complain that the database is locked?
There are several lock files here and there in the apt database.

Re: Corrupted security update package files

 When updating lenny this morning (yes, upgrading is on my todo list), I
 got the following error:
 
 E: Problem with MergeList 
 /var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages
 E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
 E: Couldn't rebuild package cache

The problem is the upstream security.debian.org archive's
/dists/lenny/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages file.  It is
corrupted.  It contains the following in the middle of the file.  I
include ... to signify several lines.  The rest is verbatim.

  Package: sndfile-programs
  ...
  SHA256: 18f3af14bda44dc71bd16474d78856b249d7392e2fa8bd93a548f3cdd689b947

  None

  None

  None

  Package: libthai-data
  ...

In the upstream file between those two package file paragraphs are
three corrupted package paragraphs.  None of those None lines should
be there.  It will need to be fixed in the security archive.  I am
sure a fix will come through quickly.
