mdadm: no more mails during monthly scrubbing under Jessie
Hi, I recently upgrades my Debian sever from Wheezy to Jessie. I have the standard configuration, especially the monthly ckeck via the cron entry: "57 0 * * 0 root if [ -x /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray ] && [ $(date +\%d) -le 7 ]; then /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray --cron --all --idle --quiet; fi". Under Wheezy I got progress mails like: - MD Device: /dev/md/robbe:storage Event: Rebuild60 /proc/mdstat: Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md127 : active raid6 sdk1[0] sde1[9] sdi1[8] sdf[7] sdj1[5] sdg1[4] sdh1[6] 19534426880 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 128k chunk, algorithm 2 [7/7] [UUU] [>] check = 60.9% (2381950248/3906885376) finish=259.5min speed=97924K/sec Action ready: 2016-04-03 12:13:13.949761 unused devices: - from mdadm system, at the start of the scrub, every 20% and at the end. I do not get these mails any more, the change was around my upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie, sorry, I don't know the date exactly (theese mails came every month ...). Extensive googling brought up nothing except some users complaining about theese mails ... How do I enable theese mails again? I like them as security info that all is well with my Raid. I asked this very question on the list 'linux-r...@vger.kernel.org' but got from Neil Brown the advice: > You would probably be better off asking on a Debian help list, or > open a Debian bug. This is a configuration specific to Debian. Kind regards, Hans
mdadm - Progress mails of checkarray now missing
Hi, I used to get progress mails from mdadm checkarray in the form of -- MD Device: /dev/md/robbe:storage Event: RebuildStarted /proc/mdstat: Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md127 : active raid6 sdk1[0] sde1[9] sdi1[8] sdf[7] sdj1[5] sdg1[4] sdh1[6] 19534426880 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 128k chunk, algorithm 2 [7/7] [UUU] [>] check = 0.0% (24/3906885376) finish=2034836.1min speed=24K/sec Action ready: 2020-01-18 02:53:07.554049 unused devices: -- for every 20% of checking finished. I don't get them any more. "mdadm --monitor --scan --test -1" still mails to me; therefore I suppose that the mailing system still works. The crontab entry in "/etc/cron.d/mdadm" is "57 0 * * 0 root if [ -x /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray ] && [ $(date +\%d) -le 7 ]; then /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray --cron --all --idle --quiet; fi". I haven't changed it. Is it possible to re-enable these progress mails? Kind regards, Hans

Similarily, there seem to be "nvidia" packages on your system. Try dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia Purge them also. Then have a look which xorg-video drivers are left: dpkg -l | grep xorg-video Leave only xserver-xorg-video-radeon on the system. And have a look if there's still an "glx-alternative" package left, like glx-alternative-mesa. This could also be purged. I issued: [Account of package purging snipped] Which partially solved my problems. The system is now booting into Gnome again. This is a fantastic step forwards. Before you had nothing, now you have something. Why the original issue occured is a mystery. Why it was cured is also a mystery. A problem remains: the contents of the screen (I controlled only text based ones like Thunderbird) are sometimes overwritten. This happens for lines where the text is partially overwritten with other text (normally or skewed) and line backgrounds. The contents are restored if I move the mouse pointer to the distorted parts. This looks like a driver issue to me. Is there a better mailing list to cope with these problems as 'debian-user'? But now the proposition is very different. We know you cannot have that much of a driver problem because you can boot into GNOME. But you think you have. Maybe its so. Let's eliminate GNOME. Boot and do 'ps ax | grep xinit'. Kill xinit with 'kill process_number'. Install fvwm and xterm (you can purge them later). Issue the command 'startx'. Check that nothing gnomish is running with 'ps ax | grep gnome. Start an xterm (right or left click, I forget which). Any problems? Start iceweasel (firefox) from an xterm. Any problems? Read a few man pages. Any problems? Play with opening any program on your system. Any problems? Which program? What are the symptoms? Sorry, 'ps ax | grep xinit' didn't give any processes. The most similar to X thing I found was: = 1350 tty7 Ssl+ 4:14 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -novtswitch -background none -noreset -verbose 3 -auth /var/run/gdm3/auth-for-Debian-gdm-ceY7sk/database -seat seat0 -nolisten tcp vt7 = The whole output pf 'ps ax' is enclosed as ps.txt. Two parts of screenshots with error regions in them are enclosed as err?.png. I hope that's OK to include small graphics files, but to describe display problems in text form is a bit awkward (at least to me). I thought that my problems may be driver related because when I saw such behaviour on Windows machines the culprit was always the graphics driver.

Problems with upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie
Hi, I upgraded my Debian server about a week ago from Wheezy to Jessie. After that the GUI stopped, I see only the grey screen with the sad computer telling me " Oh no, Something is Wrong" and the only option is to log out. I'm using Gnome as my desktop. I installed the package again with: apt-get install task-gnome-desktop I did not get any error message, but that didn't cure my problem. Afterwards I tried: "dpkg --configure -a". Again, I didn't get any error message but that didn't cure my problem. I rebooted the system several times but with no avail. Which info should I provide and/or where should I check my system for errors? The text based login via ssh (I use Putty from Win 8.1) functions without problems. Kind regards, Hans
