The version in Wheezy or later is best as it has udev rules for the newer devices. However, while you'll get basic functionality (on-battery, low-battery etc notifications), you won't get the full functionality of the UPS without APC's powerchute software. This is because APC (now owned by Schneider Electric) have gone back to using a proprietary (undocumented) protocol called MicroLink. Only Powerchute supports this, so if you want to know how much load is on your UPS or when the battery is due to fail or any of the other useful information the UPS knows, then either complain to APC, or use powerchute. /rant Agree with rant. Does the auto shut-down feature work with those limited features? Easiest protest for me would be to choose another maker who does have a Linux client for power down. Are there any alternatives to APC?

mdadm: raid1: redirecting sector to another mirror
Hello, Please can I share my puzzlement here in the hope a problem shared is a
problem halved...
Sdb on this system has smart errors and a replacement disk is on order.
However, I notice that sda is also mentioned.
Sadly I can find nothing wrong with sda, smart and tests are all clean. I am wondering if sda is actually good and it is
just suffering a consequence of the problems with sdb .. see last log line:-

NetXtreme BCM5722 strangeness on Proliant ML115
11:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express With standard squeeze kernel seemingly once a day this nic stops working. Looking at the switch port it seems the nic is transmitting (or retransmitting) something as fast as possible. A simple ifdown/ifup seems to cure for another day. On latest backport kernel 3.2.20-1~bpo60+1 (installed today) the nic does seems to be stable. iperf reports 1gb performance. However the count of dropped packets is slowly growing: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:21:5a:d3:d0:0c inet addr:192.168.2.10 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::221:5aff:fed3:d00c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:8801144 errors:0 dropped:1824 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2263228 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1257 This issue is present in the firmware nonfree from stable, and backports, and the using the latest source compiled from broadcom 3.122n. I have changed cables and switch ports. There is another other gigabit nic on the switch is nVidia Corporation MCP77 and this has no errors or dropped packets. Anyone else seeing this? How to progress? .. should I log a debian bug, or just go buy an Intel card? Or ? :-) Berni -- Confidence is what you have before you understand a problem - Woody Allen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

how to safely remove an acl: user_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t
I was tidying up some old accounts on an squeeze system today and noticed this one home directory has a full stop in the permissions: $ ls -ld /home/manager.gwcc/ drwxr-x---. 2 manager.gwcc e-manager 4096 May 10 17:26 /home/manager.gwcc/ Seems this is an acl: $ ls -lZd /home/manager.gwcc/ drwxr-x---. 2 manager.gwcc e-manager user_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t 4096 May 10 17:26 /home/manager.gwcc/ Harmless enough but entirely not needed. Googling a bit did suggest setfacl -b. So a quick apt-get install acl .. $ sudo setfacl -b /home/manager.gwcc/ $ ls -lZd /home/manager.gwcc/ drwxr-x---. 2 manager.gwcc e-manager user_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t 4096 May 10 17:26 /home/manager.gwcc/ So this leaves the acl in place. Sorry but I have exhausted my Google skills. Any pointers to rid this setting? Or shall I just recreate the folder from scratch. ta Berni -- Confidence is what you have before you understand a problem - Woody Allen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: wireless (Atheros AR5001) was working on squeeze, then stopped
Brian C. Wells wrote: Hi. I have an HP G60-249WM laptop, and am currently using squeeze for better wireless support. (The latest kernel from backports might also work; but after trying that, I can say it doesn't play well with the non-free nvidia driver, which I also need.) After upgrading to squeeze, and updating my firewall rules, the wireless was working at first. But while browsing the web a couple days ago, network-manager repeatedly prompted me for my wireless password, and would not accept the correct one. Then I tried unchecking Enable Wireless, hoping to re-check it later, but it went gray (disabled)! After asking some questions and being given suggestions on #debian, and searching the web (with my wired connection) for answers, I installed the lshw and rfkill packages and found the following: # lshw -C network *-network description: Ethernet interface ... *-network DISABLED description: Wireless interface product: AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter vendor: Atheros Communications Inc. physical id: 0 bus info: p...@:07:00.0 logical name: wlan0 version: 01 serial: [MAC address] width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ath5k latency=0 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bg resources: irq:23 memory:c200-c200 # rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes If I have read the top Google result for rfkill [1] correctly, this means that the problem cannot be fixed by *any* software, and is thus a hardware issue. Is that right? Assuming it is hardware, I have noticed that there is a button with a little wireless logo LED. Before I upgraded to squeeze, it was always amber-colored. Afterward, it was usually blue, but blinked between both colors while I was browsing the web. Now it is always blue. I have tried pushing this button once, briefly; several times, quickly; and holding it down for 30 seconds. I have also tried every Fn-FXX key combo from F1 to F12, and some combinations of these with the wireless button. No change. I have also tried the Ubuntu LiveCD; it seems to have the same problem. And I've tried removing network-manager, manual configuration and ifdown/modprobe/ifup, and the alternative manager wicd. None worked. For additional reference, here's the information provided by ifconfig -a and iwconfig: # ifconfig -a ... wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr [MAC address] BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) # iwconfig ... wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=off Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off So, is my wireless card fried?

Maybe this suggests your wireless really is disabled or faulty ... try looking for a setting in your Bios menus that turns the wireless on and off?

Why, when it's so much easier to not allow connections from insecure operating systems prone to virus infection to start with? Because disallowing these connections (unfortunately) is not an option since Windows clients are used in my company and they too need to be able to both access and modify files on our file server. What's even more interesting though is: Which is the right Dazuko version to choose? There are several of them around. Kind regards, Holger Or look at it the other way round Linux is not vulnerable to windows virus. Note the careful wording ;-) So don't waste valuable server cpu cycles on-access scanning on a Linux server. Instead protect your Linux with things like rkhunter. Also all your windows PCs already have to run on-access scanners anyway - right. So a virus should never get near the server anyway at least in theory... In practice virus do often get through simply because the virus profiles available for both server and clients PCs are always one step behind the crooks. Best you can do is have have regular full virus scans on the Windows PCs hard disks to fix once the anti-virus companies catch up. You could be very sociable and scan the files at quiet times on the server and quarantine...clamav does a nice job at no cost. You can also use it as a quality check on your commercial scanner.

Re: slow backup using lvm snapshots and tar
Israel Garcia wrote: Hi list: I'm using this command to create s snapshot of every LV's server, mount the LV, make a TGZ to a shared folder (NFS), then umount LV image and remove snapshot LV.

This is the command I'm using: for vps in `cat vps`; do lvcreate -L10G -s -n $vpssnapshot /dev/vg0/$vps.domain-disk mount /dev/vg0/$vpssnapshot /mnt/vmbackup cd /mnt/vmbackup nice -n 19 tar pczf /shared/lvbackups/$vps_`date +%F` . cd ; umount /mnt/vmbackup lvremove -f /dev/vg0/$vpssnapshot;done My question is: How can I make TAR backup faster? is it possible? Is there other command faster than TGZ in this case? thanks in advance. Great fun this kind of thing...

Re: Student filter breaking Debian installs
Florian Kulzer wrote: As far as I understand it, apt(itude) should realize that there are no Translation-en_GB.* files in the main/i18n directory and therefore it should ignore the translation and move on. Is it possible that your filtering/proxy setup returns some notification text (instead of a 404 error) if a non-existing or blocked file is requested from the web? I could see how that might confuse apt. The messages that you posted suggest that apt does receive some content for the translation file and I do not think that this content comes from the Debian server. What happens if you try to retrieve the non-existing translation file with wget? wget http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/i18n/Translation-en_GB.bz2 Oh boy...a whole pile of html comes back telling the story of why that page is blocked.

Does SATA ICH7 south bridge work?
Can you confirm if ICH7 chipset works reliably on Debian with Linux software raid? Some background: A customer of mine is getting a system from Evesham following recurring problems with active directory and exchange - very nice too. However, I'd like to use Debian on it to get away from active directory completely. Trouble is that although Evesham are fine supplier they are not a Linux shop...the server is described as a 200NH using an ICH7 south bridge, It is one of those systems with the sata raid controller built into the motherboard. Also can you recommend a reasonable cost Sata card that does work production style with Debian...so that if the above does have problems I have a rescue plan.
