Re: duplicity, backup to ftp and specifying a user name

duplicity, backup to ftp and specifying a user name
I am attempting to use duplicity to store backups at a remote site (host.com). The ftp user name is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I do not have control over this name. Simply using someuser will not work. If I tell duplicity to use: ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]@host.com duplicity seems to not be able to parse the hostname properly and can't even connect to the remote server. If I try: ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED] I get an error about failed security: duplicity.backends.BackendException: (-2, 'Name or service not known') I don't see any way to specify a ftp user name through an environment variable. Does anyone have a way around this, short of my storing the backups locally and using ncftp to copy them to the remote site? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: nVidia and the Black Screen Problem... Continued
[issues with nvidia hardware and black screens (rather than X windows) deleted] I had similar problems. I'm running a Shuttle NForce2 (SN41G2, IIRC) machine with the DVI card, sid, x.org, 2.6.14 (maybe 2.6.15?), kde, the nvidia closed drivers and udev. The symptom was that when I rebooted, X would not come up. I'd get a black screen. When I touched a key, the black screen would disappear (so to speak) and the machine would show a character-based login prompt. I could then login as root, reinstall the nvidia drivers, restart kdm and I'd get a graphical login prompt. All would be fine until the next reboot. I put up with this for a while (weeks, maybe months) since the machine is up most of the time anyway. Eventually, I tweaked udev with some rules that I found somewhere on the web. If you want, I could dig through my notes when I get home to see what I did. My problem was solved for a while. A few apt-get updates later, after some x.org and udev chagnes, the problem reappeared. That was about two weeks ago. I downloaded and installed the latest binary drivers from nvidia.com and it's been fine since then. hth, -- darin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Database Development and Administration Change is hardest for those caught by surprise., Thomas Friedman __ Do You Yahoo!?

FIXED: nvidia binary driver locks up computer
I poked around on Andrew Schulman's site [http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/troubleshooting.html.] for a while, then settled in and spent an hour reading the readme file.

All of the other files in that directory are *.o and of the same date, Apr 7. Two different files with the same base name also seemed wrong.

nvidia binary driver locks up computer
I have an nforce2 system, and I'm using the onboard AGP graphics. I am running sid, 2.6.11-1-k7, nvidia binary drivers 7174. (The nv driver works, but it's much slower than the binary driver, I can't use my TV tuner card because it strains my system too much without the nvidia closed-source binary drivers and I'd like to be able to use RandR.) I've had this problem with Kde 3.3 as well as kde 3.4.1. I've had this problem with 2.6.10-?-k7. I've had this problem with xfree86 and now I find that it persists into xorg.

If I shut down glxgears, the machine locks up again. In a nutshell, my problem is that whenever X tries to do something more esoteric with the card, X locks the machine up. I can't find anyone else with quite my problem. The only references I find are people tweaking for performance, not with any lock-ups. Seemingly, this works for everyone but me. I've been alternately dealing with and ignoring this problem for months. Once upon a time, everything worked just fine and I didn't pay much attention to it. Sometime in the past,, my binary nvidia driver set up quit working to the point where X would crash with a caught signal 11 when it started. I didn't have time to troubleshoot then, so I just switched over to the nv driver and put the issue on my to do list. After much fiddling, I smoothed out that problem. (The problem revolved around conflicting advice googled from various web pages (use the binary driver, use the debian packages, tweak this file, tweak that, etc.) Eventually, I undid all of this damage and X now starts OK, the machine just locks up a little later. A while back, I had a wierd incident where my on-board NIC seemed to disable itself. Is it possible that some other motherboard setting got changed as well? Everything I see looks OK.

Can't update my binary nvidia driver to 7174 when upgrading to 2.6.11
I'm running sid on an nforce2, with the k7-specific kernel. I am attempting to upgrade from 2.6.10 to 2.6.11. Every thing seems to work except for my nvidia driver.

It seems that both methods of installation are having a similar problem. /usr/src/linux points to /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.11-1-k7/. I had 7174 working on 2.6.10 for months, but now I don't seem to be able to fall back. I've fallen back to using the X nv driver and 2.6.11, which is slow for some things and OpenGL doesn't seem work. -- darin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Database Development and Administration I am always willing to run some hazard of being tedious, in order to be sure that I am perspicuous Adam Smith __ Discover Yahoo!

When I reinstalled the cable so the blue connector was plugged into the motherboard instead of plugged into the drive, my hdparm number immediately lept from 19 MB/s to 27 MB/s, for a 50% improvement. hdparm also says that the drive is running as udma4.

Since I have a USB mouse and keyboard, there are rather a lot of events. The messages looks like these (sorry for the wrapping): Jan 27 10:58:58 localhost kernel: evbug.c: Event. Dev: usb-:00:1f.2-2.2/input0, Type: 2, Code: 0, Value: -1 Jan 27 10:58:58 localhost kernel: evbug.c: Event.

Dev: usb-:00:1f.2-2.1/input0, Type: 0, Code: 0, Value: 0 Is this just my problem, or is everyone having it? No one else seems to be complaining about it. I noticed this problem because the partition with /var/log on it has only about 190M free, which gets eaten through after a few hours. If it matters, I use grub. -d -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mounting a label segfaults?
Running 2.4.21-2-686 and tracking unstable. Every few months, I try re-arranging my USB2/Firewire drives. I wind up trying to get mount -L label to work, only to fail and give up. FWIW, 335 are the last three digits from the serial number on the case of the drive. kiyone:/etc# grep 335 /etc/fstab label=/335 /mnt/335 ext3 noauto,rw 0 0 kiyone:/etc# e2label /dev/sda1 /335 kiyone:/etc# ls -l /mnt total 12 drwxr-xr-x2 root root 4096 Jul 27 13:05 335 drwxr-xr-x2 root root 4096 May 20 04:08 sda1 drwxr-xr-x2 root root 4096 Jun 16 12:47 sdb1 kiyone:/etc# mount -L /335 Segmentation fault kiyone:/etc# mount -L 335 Segmentation fault kiyone:/etc# mount -L335 Segmentation fault -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Upon boot, many strange and useless modules are loaded
I have a simple Gateway consumer-grade machine with an i810e motherboard, 866MHz/128MB/120MB ide. I am running 2.4.21-2-686. Using grub to boot my old 2.4.20 does not help. I had left the machine running for a few weeks, when I needed to shut it down. After rebooting, my USB mouse is frozen upon reaching the KDM login screen. After a little poking around, I found that all sorts of oddball modules (for which I don't have the hardware. serverworks?) had been loaded. After manually rmmod-ing them, my mouse unfroze and all was happy. My recurring problem is that all of the modules that I rmmod-ed re-appear upon a reboot. I haven't had time to troubleshoot this all week, so I've been limping along by running this script, which will result in my being able to use my mouse. # begin included file rmmod via82cxxx rmmod trm290 rmmod triflex rmmod slc90e66 rmmod sis5513 rmmod siimage rmmod serverworks rmmod sc1200 rmmod rz1000 rmmod pdc202xx_old rmmod opti621 rmmod ns87415 rmmod hpt366 rmmod hpt34x rmmod cy82c693 rmmod cs5530 rmmod cmd64x rmmod cmd640 rmmod amd74xx rmmod alim15x3 rmmod aec62xx rmmod adma100 rmmod pdc202xx_new # end of file Help? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

During boot, fsck tries to run against offline drive?
I have a Gateway with an i810e motherboard, 866MHz/128MB/120MB ide, with an additional USB2 drive that is generally turned off. I just switched (last week) to 2.4.21 from 2.4.19 and to grub from lilo. I'm not sure if any of that has to do with my problem, since it seemed to crop up a while after I had upgraded. I'm new at grub, having only recently undertaken the effort to understand it. During the boot process, I get a message along the lines of (this is from memory at 7 in the morning and I haven't had any coffee yet): fsck.ext3 /dev/sda1 No such device or address while trying to open Press Ctrl-D to continue or enter the root password for maintenance This make sense, in a way, since the USB2 drive is turned off. OTOH, /dev/sda1 is marked noauto in my fstab and I don't understand why something seems to be trying to run fsck on it.

Problem with apache2-common not installing apache2.conf?
This seems sort of too basic to be bug and there doesn't seem to be one filed on this, so I must be doing something wrong... Warning: I'm new at Apache. I'm using Debian testing, kernel 2.4.20. In the process of tryiing to get subversion up on my home server. Local subverting works fine. Networked subversion apparently needs webdav and apache2. I was using the older apache, so I naively tried to upgrade with apt, removing apache and installing apache2-common and apache2-mpm-prefork (prefork seems to be the safest deb to use for a low-utilization machine.) My problem is that I can't get apache2 to install. It *seems* like apache.conf isn't being created by apache2-common and when apache2-mpm-prefork's processing tries to read the file, it blows up. I am sure that, after apt-get errors out, the /etc/apache2 directory doesn't contain an apache2.conf file and the httpd.conf file is empty. That doesn't seem right. Here's some output indicative of my problem: *** kiyone:/etc# apt-get install apache2-common apache2-mpm-prefork Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

while this kernel is version error message
So, I have an old P166, no MMX, no built-in USB, 96MB RAM, running 2.4.18-386 and Debian stable. I also have a Logitech USB WebCam. I'd like to use the cam. The first step was to purchase a USB card off of eBay. Easy enough. The second step was to find a load appropriate drivers. Not so easy. Apparently, USB Logitech cams have no kernel support. There are drivers in source form available from qce-ga on source forge. I download those. Now I need to compile the driver. I don't have any kernel source on that machine, so I apt-get the 2.4.18 kernel source and untar it. I set up a link for linux that points to the directory with the source tree in it, change directories and run make in the kernel directory. Various stuff builds, but I eventually get a message: make: *** No rule to make target `include/linux/autoconf.h', needed by `include/config/MARKER'. Stop. Hm. I have no idea what that means. But, optimistically, I run make in the qce-ga module directory and it seems to build OK. But, I try to insmod mod_quickcam, I get mihosi:/usr/src/qce-ga-0.40c# insmod mod_quickcam.o mod_quickcam.o: kernel-module version mismatch mod_quickcam.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.18 while this kernel is version 2.4.18-386. And the module does not want to load. How can I fix my environment so that I don't get that message? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
