What you typically would do here is use apt-cdrom add It will ask you for a CD/DVD which it will scan and add an entry to your /etc/apt/sources.list In the future if you want a package: apt install foo will tell you what DVD or CD you need to insert. Works the same for dependencies and you might need to switch out the DVD's a time or two depending on what is required. If you want to do this without DVD's you would need to sync a repo to a machine on your LAN and configure a webserver to hand out the files.

ipw2100 firmware issues of random network connection lost.
I'm currently running debian unstable, but have tried stable as well to try and narrow down my issue. As of current when I'm connected to my lan my network card works properly for a while then will drop out. The card I'm using uses the the ipw2100 firmware which from researching a bit has firmware failures and requires the kernel module be unloaded and loaded again to reset it to get it work again. Just wondering if anyone might have ran into this same problem and found a work around or fix for this problem. Thanks Daryl Dennis
ext4 - 52.2% non-contiguous
I'm trying to understand what is causing fsck to report /dev/sda4 being highly fragmented. The filesystem is only a couple days old. I created the it with mke2fs -t ext4. After initially building the filesystem I ran fsck which showed something like 0.7% if I remember correctly. I then copied about 60GB from an ext3 via rsync after which the fragmentation showed up.

flash drive encryption between different OS's
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I'm looking for a solution to encrypt a flash drive formated in FAT32 so it can easily be decrypted across multiple OS's with the least amount of software needed. I don't know a whole lot about Windows and what comes installed if anything by default to handle encryption. I tried luksformat /dev/* but then on a XP machine it didn't think the drive was formatted. I saw TrueCrypt as a possible option for both Linux and Windows, but I would prefer to keep software requirements on a different machine to default out of the box options if possible. I did look over the forum archives and googled around a bit, but I suppose my search terms are not finding anything useful. I am thinking if software will be a requirement, I could just put two partitions on the drive one say a 50M or so unencrypted to hold needed software, then encrypt the difference. But that would not solve the possible problem of say needed to use the drive at the local library possibly.

So what I'm starting to understand is by default install chrony assumes
limited connectivity with a PPP connection (e.g. dialup) with the correct
scripts to handle such circumstances. However, because I do not use PPP
but still have a somewhat limited connection depending on my location to a
wired or wireless access point chrony isn't aware (yet) if I'm connected
or not. Which still leaves me somewhat confused as to what is telling
chrony there is a connection when I restart the service, as the servers are
listed to start in an offline state until chrony is told I am now
connected via /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/chrony. If that mouthful makes sense.

[please reply to the list and not to me]
Your chrony.conf has two sources, both set to 'offline'. What do you
mean that it's set to always be online?
Sorry for the off-list reply.. Meant to hit shift+L here on mutt..
I was reading the following 3.2.1 from
http://chrony.sunsite.dk/guide/chrony.html which states
However, the following issues need to be addressed:
1. Your computer probably doesn't have DNS access whilst offline to
turn the machine names into IP addresses.
2. Your computer will keep trying to contact the servers to obtain
timestamps, even whilst offline. If you operate a dial-on-demand system,
things are even worse, because the link to the internet will keep getting
established.
For this reason, it would be better to specify this part of your
configuration file in the following way:
server 1.2.3.4 offline
server 5.6.7.8 offline
server 9.10.11.12 offline
Because numeric IP addresses have been used, the first problem is
overcome. The offline keyword indicates that the servers start in an
offline state, and that they should not be contacted until chronyd
receives notification that the link to the internet is present.
Which seems logical to me because I use a laptop and not aways around an
AP. Section 3.2.2 contains the instructions to notify chronyd the system
is connected via /etc/ppp/ip-up or as it would be on Debian
/etc/ppp/ip-up/chrony which contains the following.
#!/bin/sh
# This script tells chronyd that the connection is up so that it can
# contact the server. John Hasler jhas...@debian.org 1998-2003
# Any possessor of a copy of this program may treat it as if it
# were in the public domain. I waive all rights.
/bin/pidof chronyd /dev/null || exit 0
KEY=$(awk '$1 ~ /^commandkey$/ { print $2; exit}' /etc/chrony/chrony.conf)
PASSWORD=`awk '$1 ~ /^'$KEY'$/ {print $2; exit}' /etc/chrony/chrony.keys`
/usr/bin/chronyc EOF
password $PASSWORD
online
burst 5/10
quit
EOF
touch /var/run/chrony-ppp-up
exit 0
So it would seem with a default installation everything should work as
expected.

[OT] Wireless Router WGR614v9 issues
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I'm having some issues with a new router. For normal browsing it seems to perform fine. However when I start to download large files speeds drop off from around over 1400KB/s down to 120KB/s. I haven't put a stopwatch to it but it seems to be around the same amount of time. A simple restart of the router and all is fine. This most often happens when getting binaries from newsgroups. Either that has something to do with it or just normally where the large files come from I'm not sure. Remembering reading something a while back about a lot of connections being the sinking point for most routers I cut those back to 10 from 20 with the same results. I thought that I was being throttled by the ISP, but then tried half a dozen times wired with large files and everything has worked as expected with speeds staying up around 1000K. I even noticed when moving large files across the wlan via scp or rsycn the speeds are a lot slower than I had expected. Starting around 2M/s dropping off to around 700K or less. I know the router isn't exactly the best of the bunch, it was the cheapest on the shelf. I've upgraded the firmware to the latest and greatest with no increase in performance. I'm at a bit of a loss of what to do next short of replacing the router. I read a bit about the DD-WRT project but it seems my model (WGR614v9) is not yet supported with a work in progress tag. And what exactly is going on? Some packet collision or something? I'm no networking guru so I don't know all the terms I should be searching for. Running tests at speakeasy.net/speed test shows me the following.. - -Wireless- (after the first 'crash' downloading) Download Speed: 831 kbps (103.9 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 1941 kbps (242.6 KB/sec transfer rate) - -Wireless- (after a router restart) Download Speed: 13376 kbps (1672 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 2773 kbps (346.6 KB/sec transfer rate) - -Wired- Download Speed: 14676 kbps (1834.5 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 2799 kbps (349.9 KB/sec transfer rate) So as you can see I would really like to get to the bottom of this.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? I don't want to file a bug report against Network-Manager unless I'm pretty sure it's the culprit. Patrick Also on a T61 and I have not experienced this, however instead of holding down the power button you should try to use the SysRq+b to bring the system down safely. There are a couple other threads that have some more options. One was just discusses not that long ago.. http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/12/msg00835.html Looks like I should be syncing 's' before 'b' for reboot..

SheevaPlug
Initially was highly interested in the NSLU2 [1] as a replacement for a laptop I have sitting around running basically as an extremely over powered file/backup server. I am starting to become very interested in the SheevaPlug [2]. Although not as documented as the slug, I did find some work in progress for a full Debian port. [3] I really wished they could have figured out some sort of onboard wireless solution. The entire unit looks slightly larger laptop cards. Maybe it was a cost saving measure or feature not exactly sure. But needing to also buy a bridge to hide the thing in a closet isn't exactly optimum. I suppose it could live near the already crowded modem/router/phone etc.. But one can still wish. Wikipedia says that currently Ubuntu's 9.04 ARM build is running the shipped unit. [4] I'm looking for some input from the list. Does anyone have one running Debian? How's it working out for you? Would you consider the SheevaPlug over the discontinued slug? How do you go about hooking multiple drives into the unit as I've read about with only 1 usb port? I'm sure there are many more that might come up as(if) the discussion moves along.

Replying to myself...
Turns out above steps for bridging/dhcp still work fine. It seems the
Debian installer was refusing to request an address from the laptop/dhcp
server. However, once I moved the machine to a wire off the modem, it
picked up an address just fine. Then of course when the install was
finished, there is no problem requesting an address from the laptop/dhcp
server. Strange.
Any ideas why that would be?

persistent database - sleeping. I can see the interface eth0 here on
the laptop and while requesting the address the lights are not flashing
like they usually would which leads me to believe the bridge/dhcp server
isn't working.
I'm a bit lost where to start, I've looked through the logs for any
failurs, errors etc.

I have no idea about segfaults. I've never encountered one that I was
aware of. I have since restarted everything again after finding these
in the logs to see if it would be reproduced, but they were not.

I just changed the password on a laptop I rarely use running Lenny this way. Alternatively $ sudo su on a system using sudo should allow a quick fix.

Re: Gateway P-7805u Any success - install using debian on this laptop? Bios upgrade procedure?
tech lists wrote: Has anyone successfully installed used Debian on either this (P-7805u) or the simiilar 7811 Gateway laptops? I'm having trouble finding any success stories on Google ( or this mailing list, or the debian-laptop mailing list, or linux laptops website) for these laptops or any Gateway FX laptops (or even Gateway laptops in general) for any linux distro. The laptop has been out since the middle of last year with the only change coming at the end of last year with a slight downgrade on the screen resolution. Surely someone's tried linux on this laptop in the last 9 months? If anyone is using this laptop with Debian or any linux flavor, is there a known procedure for updating the bios (if/when necessary) without either booting into Vista or without a Windows partition at all? Thanks, Laura I curious what problems you are running into on the install? I've installed Debian etch and lenny to a few different makes of laptops now and really haven't run into anything that can't be worked around. Lenovo, Toshiba, HP, Sony, Mac, and an old Gateway. By now I would think just about everything should work. Daryl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Mark Goldshtein wrote: a) AFAIR, Debian has a special mailing list fully deducated to laptops. That may be more useful. b) Try one of the Debian stable LiveCD, for example: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.0-live/i386/iso-cd/debian-live-500-i386-gnome-desktop.iso and that will give you almost exact look as if you work in already installed system. If you will face a problem, that will be almost exactly the same problem as if you face it with installed system. So, basically, you have a chance to resolve possible upcoming problems before you actually install the system. The OP does not own the laptop in question yet. Laura, You mentioning updating BIOS made me go take a look at how Lenovo was doing it for my T-61.. The update was with a bootable CD I downloaded from their site and everything went smoothly.. overall took roughly about 5 minutes with the downloadburnrebootinstallrebootenjoying Debian.. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
