I don't know much about OpenVZ, but a quick bit of searching tells me that your container has run out of space/inodes quota. That is, although the operating system within the container can see plenty of space, the supervising operating system is refusing to allow more allocation and this is filtering down to the guest. Apparently, running something like vzctl set VZID --save -diskinodes x:y might help. Bye Bruno Yes the server is a VPS (Virtual Private Server) one.

Re: Boot problem : Operating System not found.
[snip] I'll also try the SuperGrub2Disk ASAP. [snip] Yes, it works when booting using a SuperGrub2Disk CD. From SuperGrub2Disk boot menu : Detect any OS - Debian correctly found on /dev/sda4 - boot is OK. So I suppose the GRUB on the hard disk is incorrectly setup. As the boot-info script reported in previous email. Note that others distros (Xubuntu and Sabayon) boots correctly. So how to correct GRUB regarding Debian problem ? Manually or using tools (certainly preferred solution )? I already ran update-grub but without any success. Bye.

Boot problem : Operating System not found (was : how to make it verbose ?)
.. Another thing you can test is manually booting your Debian system from GRUB2 boot menu by reaching the command line. This way if you're lucky any error you get will be printed on the screen. .. Indeed you're right. 'Operating System not found' is displayed once boot via GRUB command line. I suppose this is an interesting info. What happened ? How to correct this ? I check the UUID (via GRUB2 - ls) it is identical as the one specified in the GRUB parameters. Thanks for help.

Boot problem : how to make it verbose ?
Hello,
I installed Debian Squeeze on a multi-boot PC where Ubuntu is the
first and bootable distro.
Using GRUB2, the options 'nosplash debug --verbose' are used, but
Debian freezes silently.
How to make boot verbose to see what happen ?
Hereafter the /boot/grub/grub.cfg :
menuentry test Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (on
/dev/sda4) --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,gpt4)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root b6ebc0b2-59cc-4ceb-81ba-c60d90be2fdc
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64
root=UUID=b6ebc0b2-59cc-4ceb-81ba-c60d90be2fdc ro nosplash debug
--verbose
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64
The original entry in grub.cfg was created by update-grub under Xubuntu.
From this entry was added in file /etc/grub.d/40_custom the option
'quiet( was replaced by 'nosplash debug --verbose' as a try to obtain
verbosity.
Then again update-grub to update grub.cfg file.
Thanks for attention and clue.

Re: Boot problem : how to make it verbose ?
I installed Debian Squeeze on a multi-boot PC where Ubuntu is the first and bootable distro. Are you chainloading GRUB2s or are you loading Debian directly from Ubuntu's own GRUB2 version? I boot direclt from the Ubuntu's own GRUB2 version. Using GRUB2, the options 'nosplash debug --verbose' are used, but Debian freezes silently. How to make boot verbose to see what happen ? (...) The changes you have done should be enough. However other options were also tried without any result. In what stage is the system hanging at? What can you see in the screen? Can you at least reach the GRUB2 boot menu? I would try to load Debian from SuperGrub2Disk or any other LiveCD just to test if it hangs at the same point. Yes, the GRUB2 menu is reached (in fact, it's used to boot the other system on same PC). The Debian system hangs direcly. Nothing is displayed. Yes, a LiveCD Debian 6 works fine (however it was a i386, the installed Debian is a amd64, the working Xubuntu is also a amd64).

Re: kernel param : why acpi=off breaks screen resolution ?
On my laptop Acer (model 4750) I have to pass kernel parameter acpi=off to be able to setup screen brightness via the Fn key. However the screen resolution is then downgrade (to 1024/640 from 1366/768). snipped I'd suggest first try interupting the boot at the grub screen, and editing the boot command to replace acpi=off with acpi=force If that gets you the Function key and your full screen resolution ranges - just edit /etc/default/grub and update-grub. It's not likely that will fix the problem - so... First confirm that Debian can support the ASUS make-up-[beep]-as-we-go-along ACPI ;-p by trying a Sid live usb-hdd image first (if that works - it's less work to backport to Squeeze):- http://live-build.debian.net/cgi-bin/live-build select usb-hdd, Sid, kde-core (or gnome-core, or xfce) to test screen and function keys). If that fails to give you ACPI support you'll need to try Unstable - though I suspect Testing will do it (based on your Ubuntu experience). If Testing works for you - determine which modules are loaded, and note the kernel. Then post your results and we (the list) can try and help you from there. Just to increase your options - I've had some success (with different ASUS netbooks) just downloading eeepc-acpi-scripts from Testing and installing it's requirements from Testing. It's a fiddly process that also requires pinning. Strongly suggest you try Sid first, then consider which packages you need - and whether you want to stay with Sid or backport/mash/hack those packages into Squeeze. NOTE: you want bleeding-edge hardware, you need bleeding-edge software, and Debian needs testers... those of us that run stable salute your sacrifices ;-p (note : my laptop is an Acer not an Asus) I tried testing (Wheezy) did not work. So I tried unstable (Sid) did not work neither... Sorry for Debian but this time I'll Ubuntu 11.04 which works fine on this hardware which is laptop Acer model 4750. However I kept dual boot so still have the Debian Sid on it. So dears Debian testers do not hesitate to ask me logs ..etc.. whatever might help Debian to improve support of 'bleeding-edge' hardware as mentioned by Scott. I use Debian on all my others PC and servers and will really enjoy to use it also on my latest laptop. Thanks for attention.

However the screen resolution is then downgrade (to 1024/640 from 1366/768). Why ? Acer (like many manufacturers) have there own ideas about ACPI standards. Which solution should I try ? Try Testing - or look for backported acpi packages. Note: I'm using latest Squeeze 6.0.2.1. I tried same thing with Ubuntu 11.04 : it works perfectly as FN keys works without any loss of screen resolution. Hence the testing/backports suggestion. Fine for using the backports.

Hi Andrew, thanks for infos about Broadcom being in non-free. I tried the unofficial image you mentionned. However got same problem : the Ethernet Broadcom card is not recognized. I suppose it is not include in this unofficial netinst CD.

If this is possible how / where can iI grab the Broadcom driver ? eg.via file module .ko or via a Debian package ? - other solutions ? Thanks for your attention.

SOLVED : support of Ethernet card Broadcom
... My questions is does Debian propose a package supporting Ethernet card Broadcom BCM57785 ? For device support during and after Debian installation, you would need to use an unofficial installer (containing a backported Linux kernel) at this time, see [1] for further details. For an established system (with an alternate form of connectivity), you can use either a backported linux-image package from Debian Backports [2], or a linux-image package proposed for the 6.0.3 point release [3]. Geoff [1] http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/ [2] http://backports-master.debian.org/Instructions/ [3] http://www.debian.org/releases/proposed-updates SOLVED. I used [1] to grab an unofficial image. It works on my laptop as it includes indeed Broadcom driver needed for Internet connection via Ethernet (for this netinst installation procedure). Thnaks for your support.

kernel param : why acpi=off breaks screen resolution ?
Hello, on my laptop Acer (model 4750) I have to pass kernel parameter acpi=off to be able to setup screen brightness via the Fn key. However the screen resolution is then downgrade (to 1024/640 from 1366/768). Why ? Which solution should I try ? Note: I'm using latest Squeeze 6.0.2.1. I tried same thing with Ubuntu 11.04 : it works perfectly as FN keys works without any loss of screen resolution.

Support of Ethernet card Broadcom
Hello, I bought an Acer (model 4750) and tried to install on it Squeeze image i386 CD-ROM. During the network hardware detection the Ethernet card Broadcom (model Netlink BCM57785) is not recognized (note : I identified this model using an Ubuntu 11.04 live DVD). I suppose it is simply not included in the Squeeze image i386 CD-Rom I used. My questions is does Debian propose a package supporting Ethernet card Broadcom BCM57785 ? If yes is there an image containing it (eg. CD versus DVD images packages list) ? Bye, Bruno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

However the shutdown was working before I re-config my ALSA sounds (via alsaconf) and indeed I have a vague remember reading something in the past like acpi has / have some problems with alsa which might block a complete shutdown like in my case. acpid seems correctly start : ps -ef | grep -i acpi root15 9 0 11:57 ?00:00:00 [kacpid] root 2890 1 0 11:57 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/acpid -c /etc/acpi/events -s /var/run/acpid.socket 105 2911 2903 0 11:57 ?00:00:00 hald-addon-acpi: listening on acpid socket /var/run/acpid.socket bruno 3642 3495 0 12:01 pts/100:00:00 grep -i acpi Thanks for reading and/or any help Bye, Bruno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Check that you are configuring the sound card you have attached the speakers to (some motherboards have built-in sound too). The name of the sound card appears at the top of the mixer.

shell : is syntax checking via option -n really working ?
Hello,
as I ckeck a script via 'sh -n file' I receive the syntax error
listserver.tcl: 31: Syntax error: else unexpected (expecting then)
However syntax looks good and script execution is fine.
Please find attached file for more details.
Is there anything weird with 'sh -n' behaviour ? Or anything else ?
Thanks for attention.

This may be heat related - I've had similar problems with a 1524WLMi (64 bit). It's been back to Acer twice but for the last few months has been OK.

Regards Clive -- www.clivemenzies.co.uk ... ...strategies for business Clive, indeed this might be a reason but so why to freeze under a 'end current session' request ? I would accept this pseudo-freeze during a shutdown as the fan might run few seconds or minutes until the motherboard / CPU reach a cooler temperature to avoid any damage. Also this feature should not be related to any OS but only to BIOS / hardware implementation as ideally the CPU should not run to allow efficient refreshment and so should be documented by Acer as nice feature. (note: I didn't check this into the Acer documenttaion but might worth a look). Note: I'll have a look at HotPC / HotCPU as you mentionned.

The applications get added to this menu automatically if you select always allow (or similar, I am paraphrasing from memory) when the dialog pops up which informs you that an application tries to access an open wallet. Your problem sounds like you have set very paranoid wallet preferences so that the wallet gets closed quickly all the time. This is a security measure to make it less likely that an attacker can come across your computer when the wallet is open. Check your close when unused for xx min., close when screensaver starts and close when last application stops using it settings. What you put there depends on how much security you want; more security always means less convenience, i.e. having to type your password more often. -- Regards, Florian Indeed after playing with the mentionned options it looks much better now.

How to automount an usb key ?
Hello, I try to setup an automount for an usb key and have the following config : File auto.master: /mnt/etc/auto.misc --timeout=60 File auto.misc: usbkey -fstype=auto:/dev/sda Directory /mnt is created and autofs daemon seems correctly started as status display: ... Configured Mount Points: /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 /mnt file /etc/auto.misc Active Mount Points: /usr/sbin/automount --pid-file=/var/run/autofs/_mnt.pid --timeout=60 /mnt file /etc/auto.misc ... But automount don't work. However a manual mount of /dev/sda works fine, so how to automount it ?. Thanks for any clue.

Re: Win key under KDE

I have the Win key giving direct access (meaning Win key alone) to the KMenu under an account and simply trying to configure it same way under another account. I had a look under menus KControl-RegionalAccessibility+Keyboard Shortcuts but didn't find any config for the Win key alone and have apparently same config between the two accounts. I'm using Sarge + KDE 3.3.2 Thanks, Bruno It's working now : under keyboard layout I tick 'enabled keyboard layout' and selected the one corresponding to my country (Belgium) and the keyboard 'generic 104 key-pc' I logged out. And after I re-logged the win key works fine (meaning the Win key alone open the KMenu). Bye, Bruno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

If not, you've created a group that is called root, but without root privileges. And please can someone return me all groups root include by default ? uid=0 doesn't need to be a member of any groups - for the most part it is a special user that has full access to everything (networked environments can change this, for example root_squash in nfs). Thanks for details. Indeed I used uid=0 / gid=0 for 'root' account re-creation. Everything looks fine. An happy end. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
