Re: Needless DNS queries
Thanks to everybody, who replied. After some more reading and tinkering I've made the following observations: The response code NXDOMAIN means: domain name did not resolve. In this case the search option becomes important. Whenever a domain name does not resolve, the client's resolver (at least in Linux) suffixes the original domain name with each item in the search list until the new domain name resolves. So this is regular behaviour and it explains the needless DNS queries. AdguardHome uses the response code NXDOMAIN to signal the client "this is a forbidden domain". For this signal "this is a forbidden domain" you can configure AdguardHome to use the IPv4 0.0.0.0 and the response code NOERROR. Now the (forbidden) domain is resolved without an error and the IPv4 of 0.0.0.0. So there's no need to use the search list and the needless DNS queries vanish. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

Needless DNS queries
Hello everybody, I've installed AdguardHome to serve the clients in my home network. After checking AdguardHome's query logs I noticed a lot of needless DNS queries. When a client queries for a domain and the answer is NXDOMAIN, there is immediately a second query with the original domain name, but suffixed with the domain name of my home network. Example: 1. query: www.example.com (result NXDOMAIN) 2. query: www.example.com.home.lan (result NXDOMAIN) home.lan is the domain name of my home network, /etc/resolv.conf contains the following line: >search home.lan When I delete this line from /etc/resolv.conf, then the second query doesn't appear, but I loose the ability to use unqualified hostnames to refer to local clients. :-(( Up to now I thought, the domain names in the search option is appended only to unqualified names and not to qualified names. This assumption seems to be false. My question: is it possible to apply the search list only to unqualified names? Thanks for reading and have a nice day. Dieter

In my previous postings I was regarding a connection via USB cable. For that case the sane-backend epsonds does not work, but the epsonscan2 backend from Epson, although epsonscan2 fails for network scanning. The Epson ET2711 can be connected via USB cable and WiFi. In the latter case the ET2711 has an IP and therefore can be directly addressed by the client, who wants to scan. You have to enable the sane net backend and the client automatically recognizes the ET2711 via the escl protocol (the package sane-airscan must be installed and enabled). Now the ET2711 is listed by 'scanimage -L'; 'scanimage -T', simple-scan and xsane work flawlessly. So long story short: local scanning via USB works with epsonscan2, but not with epsonds backend, networking scanning does not work with both backends. Scanning via WiFi connection works okay. Dieter

According to http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-cvs.html#S-EPSONDS the Epson EcoTank ET-2711 (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x1143) is completely supported by the sane-backend epsonds.

QEMU/KVM doesn't open new window - Access only via vnc viewer
Hi, I'm just about to install Debian11/Bullseye on a host. There are several VMs running under QEMU/KVM to set up. With Debian9/Stretch I created a new VM via command line: /usr/bin/kvm -drive file=/qemu/win-70/win-70.jessie.raw,if=virtio,media=disk,cache=none,format=raw -name Win-70 -vga std -m 3072 -enable-kvm -rtc base=localtime -boot order=c As a result QEMU/KVM opened a new window with the output of the VM. With Debian11/Bullseye QEMU/KVM doesn't open a new window, but a message appears, telling me to access the output via a vnc viewer. With the vnc viewer I can see this output: the VM started correctly. How can I get back the output of the VM in a window (like in Debian9)? My researches in the internet delivered no results. I always found statements like "open a window with the option '-vga std'". Is this no more valid for Debian11? Dieter

Hot-Plug: Initialisierung der Netzwerk-Karte während des Boot-Prozesses
Liebe Debian-Freunde, ich habe das hotplug Package an Stelle von pcmcia-cs installiert (Debian 3.0R1, Kernel 2.4.24), um meine Xircom Cardbus NIC zu verwalten. Inserts und Removals der Karte werden erkannt und ifup bzw. ifdown aufgerufen. Aber: wenn die Karte bereits während des Boot-Prozesses im Slot steckt, dann wird dies zwar vom Kernel erkannt, aber keine weitere Initialisierung eingeleitet, d.h. es wird weder ein Modul geladen noch ifup aufgerufen. Im Verzeichnis /etc/hotplug gibt es eine Datei usb.rc, die von /etc/init.d/hotplug aufgerufen wird und die Initialisierung von USB Komponenten vornimmt. Ich vermute, daß es auch eine pci.rc geben müßte, die das gleiche für PCI Komponenten tut. Doch eine solche Datei gibt es nicht. Meine Frage: wie kann ich meine Xircom Karte initialisieren, wenn sie bereits während des Boot-Prozesses im Slot steckt.

Laptop macht bei Reboot ein Power-Off

Wenn ich auf der Konsole ein 'reboot' eingebe, dann fährt der Laptop (Dell Insprion 7500) sauber runter. Aber anstatt neu zu booten, macht er ein Power-Off, aber so hart, daß ich den Laptop erst wieder in Betrieb nehmen kann, nachdem ich ihn vom Strom getrennt und dann wieder angeschlossen habe. Im Kernel 2.4.24 sind ACPI, APM und Power-Management fest einkompiliert. Über Boot-Parameter schalte ich die ersten beiden Optionen on bzw. off. Auch diverse Werte beim reboot-Parameter (cold, warm, hard, bios) bringen mich nicht weiter. Der Laptop macht einfach keinen Reboot. Mit Kernel 2.2.20 (weder ACPI noch APM noch Power-Management einkompiliert) klappt alles reibungslos. Bei meinem ersten Versuch mit 2.4.24 (ohne ACPI, APM und Power-Management einkompiliert) klappte der Reboot auch nicht. Weiß jemand einen Rat, wie ich zu einem funktionierenden Reboot komme.

PS/2-Maus: Kernel 2.2.20 = JA, Kernel 2.4.18 = NEIN
Liebe Debian-Freunde, bei meinem Woody-System hatte ich bisher Kernel 2.2.20 sowohl auf meinem Desktop als auch auf meinem Laptop am Laufen. Meine PS/2-Mäuse liefen unter gpm und X klaglos. Nun habe ich in den letzten Tagen den Kernel 2.4.18 installiert, zuerst auf dem Desktop, dann auf dem Laptop.

Beim Desktop funktioniert die Maus jedoch und unter /proc/interrupts wird 12 mit PS/2 auch aufgelistet. Ein Vertauschen der Mäuse hat nichts geändert, und die Laptop-Maus funktioniert ja einwandfrei, wenn ich den Kernel 2.2.20 auf dem Laptop boote. Nur beim 2.4.18 bleibt sie regungslos. Daraus schließe ich, daß die Hardware in Ordnung ist. Warum kann 2.4.18 auf dem Laptop meine Maus nicht finden?

Re: howto enlarge root partition by merging with other?
Andy Spiegl wrote: What I would like to do now is enlarge / by merging it with the newly created partition. Do I have to copy everything to a backup, run fdisk and then copy it back? Or is there an easier method? (No, I don't just want to mount it) And is this process really all that easy? Can I just copy the backup on the new, now larger, partition, run lilo and it works again? I don't feel like spending lots of time reinstalling debian. Yes, you can do it that way. It works, I did it many times. Most important part: RUN LILO, otherwise you won't be able to boot from that partition. There is another - more elegant - way: since kernel 2.0.x you can combine two or more partitions to one big partition. I've stumbled over this feature while compiling a new kernel and selecting some compile options. Read the help of the appropriate kernel options and follow the links. Sorry, I can't be more specific, because my linux box is at home and I'm writing this from my office win95 computer (shuer!!!). I haven't tried it by myself, so that's everything I can do for you.

Re: Anybody in for helping a new debian user with aic7xxx ?
Hi Craig, thanks a lot for your replay. for the record, i've built at least half a dozen debian systems with adaptec 2940 scsi controllers. with no problems. most of these are running linux 2.0.29 or 2.0.30. Installing them was straight-forward, just boot off the boot/rescue floppy and follow the menus. In the past I've made the same experience (with OS/2 and Linux pre 2.0.x). That's the reason for choosing Adaptec, it's well supported. But now I wonder, why has the Debian distribution a problem, where others (Caldera, RedHat, Suse and Slackware) don't. I'm a first time Debian user, and have been attracted by the excellent reputation of Debian. What would you think, when you face such problems. Excellence or not? Again, thanks for your replay and have a nice weekend. Dieter -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Re: Anybody in for helping a new debian user with aic7xxx ?
Hi Damir, thanks a lot for your reply. I have VLB2842 based card and I _never_ got a stock boot disk to work with that setup It's not only the 2842, but the 2940, too. The problem seems to be due to whole _slew_ of different SCSI driver probes on the stock boot floppy which confuse the Adaptec AIC7*** based cards and cause panic. I suppose the same. Suse has a different install concept: it offers auto-probing _and_ specific driver selection. I didn't try auto-probing, but selected only the aic7xxx driver (nothing else was necessary). My Suse system is now running, and I'm in the process to build my own kernel. I hope, I can transfer it to the Debian boot disk. I would like to help you by giving you my kernel Thanks for your offer. If I can't get it on my own, I'll be back. Have a nice weekend.

install problem: aic7xxx encountered spurious IRQ / aborting command due to timeout
On Friday, 08 Aug 1997 10:54:01 +0200, I wrote the following mail: = BEGIN OF MAIL == hi everybody, my name is Dieter and I'm having problems to install the debian Linux distribution.

During the last 2 weeks I installed Caldera Open Linux Standard 1.1 and Slakware 3.2 (both employ kernel 2.0.29) without any problems. That means: the 'all-purpose' boot diskettes started Linux successfully. Now I tried the debian distribution 1.2 (with kernel 2.0.27) I found on my Infomagic Linux Developer's Resource (6-CD-set inluding Slakware 3.2, RedHat 4.1). I made the RESCUE floppy with 'dd if=rsc1440.bin of=/dev/fd0H1440 bs=512' (tried it with several diskettes and even with rsc1440r.bin) and got in every case the following boot messages: summary: aic7xxx detected and initialization messages -- aic7xxx: encountered spurious interrupt some other messages related to probing other hardware follows -- scanning channel A for devices -- aborting command due to timeout -- pid 0, scsi 0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 -- test unit ready 00 00 00 00 -- kernel panic: scsi 0 BRKADRINT, error 0x1, seqaddr 0x0 I suspect, that the composition of the debian kernel is somewhat different than those of Caldera and Slakware, but I have no idea in what matter.

That means: the 'all-purpose' boot diskettes of these distributions started Linux successfully. And I think, that the hardware described above is everything else than exotic.

Anybody in for helping a new debian user with aic7xxx ?
Hi everybody, since 2 weeks I'm trying to install the debian linux distribution, first attempt was with 1.2.8, second with 1.3.1. Both resulted in crashing down during the boot process (look for subject install problem: aic7xxx encountered spurious IRQ / aborting command due to timeout). During the last 2 weeks I got the impression, that it is more important for the participants of this mailing list to discuss about debian policies and politics than helping a new user. I can't imagine, that none of the debian users has an Adaptec controller in his PC. Where is the excellence of the debian distribution, when it's unable to install on a conventional hardware, where Caldera, Suse, RedHat and Slackware can without any problems. Don't talk, face the facts! And fact is, that debian can't install on a conventional hardware. Has anybody a solution for the problem? Has anybody more to offer than talk? I appreciate any sign of excellence. TIA. Dieter -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

That doesn't explain, why Caldera et.al don't have the problems debian has. And what about the 2842? Beta, too? Both controller use the same chip, one is VLB, the other PCI. That's all.

Re: install problem: aic7xxx encountered spurious IRQ / aborting command d
Hallo Ralf, vielen Dank für Deine Antwort. Ich hatte genau das gleiche Problem mit einem Adaptec 2842VL und der Debian-Distribution von JF Lehmanns. Anscheinend wird der Adaptec von anderen Modulen (vermutlich fuer andere SCSI-Kontroller) durcheinandergebracht. Hört sich nicht gut an. Dabei hatte ich gehofft, daß mit der Anschaffung der aktuellen Debian 1.3.1 (von JF Lehmanns) die Probleme verschwinden würden. Es wundert mich nur, daß ich mit den anderen Distribution (Caldera und Slackware) keinerlei Problem hinsichtlich des AHA2842VL hatte. Alles Gute und einen schönen Tag.
