 I cannot find the option such as expand screen in my BIOS. I have
 found there the next options maybe concirning to the above matter:
 
 Video Memory - which can have values 64 MB, 128 MB or MaxDVMT (sets up in 64 
 MB);
 
 Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology - I'd set to 128M, doesn't mean it
 always uses 128M. Shouldn't affect the size of your pre-X display.
 
 Power of Display - which can be Both or Auto (was sets up into
 Both because I regulary use the first display.
 
 Shouldn't affect the problem either.
 
 
 Mode - which can be ESP, EPP, Bi-directorial or Output only (sets up
 into ESP).
 
 That sounds like parallel port.

 Problem has been overcome in this way:
 http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/04/msg00294.html

 After installing the kernel linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 I have
 problems with fonts/video again: when loading new kernel I have a small
 screen size so as in console as in X11.
 I exclude video = LVDS-1:640 x 480 from grub configuration. After that
 the new kernel load fine, but I have very small fonts in my console so
 as last summer after upgrading from lenny to squeeze.
 Have any ideas?

 I'm not sure I understand what you're saying above

 Try the following in /etc/default/grub
 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash nomodeset
 video=uvesafb:mode_option=$finalresolutionanddepth,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap

 Then run:-
 # update-grub

 Where $finalresolutionanddepth is something like 1024x768-32 (eg.
 800x600-24) depending on what you use on the desktop.

 NOTE: this is not the same as as the xrandr instruction you are/were using.
   ^type


 Kind regards



 Now I have the next configuratuon of /etc/default/grub:
 GRUB_DEFAULT=2
 GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2 /dev/null || echo Debian`
 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=
 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=video=LVDS-1:640x480 ipv6.disable=1
 (which works well with the kernel from official distro but not with the
 kernel from bpo).
 Do I need exclude video=LVDS-1:640x480 from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX for
 using your config?
 
 I'm *really not* certain. I'd advise caution as you're using Intel
 kernel mode setting and I mostly run Nvidia proprietary (there's a
 modeset off in modprobe).

Yes, I have Intel CPUs:
 [0.072372] CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500  @ 1.66GHz stepping 
 06
 [0.160057] CPU1: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500  @ 1.66GHz stepping 
 06



 You should test changes first by hitting e at the grub screen and hand
 entering it there. If it works ok for all installed kernels then add it
 to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

I tried (settings indicated above by you) but I have no useful effect.
 
 I suspect you're setting screen resolution for X as that looks like an
 xrandr invocation - if that's the case you may be able to use both (set
 boot mode and set X mode). 

I have no big problems with X screen resolution. After loading the
desktop environment I indeed have a screen more little than physical
display but I can fix it by using ordinary gnome means
(gnome-display-properties). But I cannot fix that problem in consoles.

I'm setting screen resolution for boot only -

When my system booting, I have very good fonts in console and full
screen size - both in the grub console and in the console of initrd.
Then, I type my LUKS-passphrase (I have the disk-encrypted system
installed with defaul settings of Debian installer - /boot on /dev/sda1
and LVM on encrypted physical partition).
Immediatly after that my fonts and screen are still normal and after
some times they changes to awful.

 I usually do that as desktop/netbook clients like a seamless bling boot
 (boot splash matches desktop splash) - but if the desktop resolution is
 different then the screen will resize when the desktop manager loads.
 
 I set X resolution in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr-settings
 eg. contents:-
 xrandr -s 1024x768
 
 
 snipped place my record ipv6.disable=1 - in the string
 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT 
 
 Yes
 
 snipped
 
 I suggest you wait and see if anyone else has some comments.
 
 
 
 Kind regards

 You can do better than this. Install the xfonts-terminus package. I'm a
 little surprised your console-setup doesn't offer them.

I know. But using terminus is not useful to me (in the case of resolving
described problem).
I don't see any difference between fixed and terminus when the size
of both fonts are so small :)

 
 What is the native resolution of your laptop screen?

 1280x800
 
 I'd say you should be booting into this resolution. With KMS and the
 cards I have it is done automatically.
 
 Are SCREEN_WIDTH and SCREEN_HEIGHT commented out in the file above?

 Yeah:#
 # SCREEN_WIDTH=80
 # SCREEN_HEIGHT=25
 Do it needs to indicate 1280x800?
 
 Mine (like yours) are untouched and things are fine.

 Don't you have any values for GRUB_GFXMODE or
 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX set in /etc/default/grub? You have to set
 them to the resolution that you want to use.
I have #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 commented.
I tried GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800 but it makes very small fonts in console
and not full screen.
I tried GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 instead video=LVDS-1:640x480 in
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX but I have no useful effect.
With the 2.6.32-5-kernel from oficial Debian distro only
video=LVDS-1:640x480 in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX resolves my problem not
GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 or GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800 or video=LVDS-1:1280x800.
But with the kernel from backports that problem does not resolve by any
of the above means.
 
 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT sets the command line for the regular
 menu entry and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX sets the command line for both the
 regular and the recovery menu entries.

 Aaah, now I understand what you've describing (tiny screen, not tiny
 fonts) - check your BIOS for an expand screen type option. I can't
 remember the exact terminology but there's something similar in my
 Thinkpads (and I'm too lazy to look).
 If that't the case, then the BIOS setting and console-setup is the
 solution, in which case ignore my previous suggestion.

Xerox Phaser 3140

Hi, friends,

By some reasons I want to buy a printer of Xerox Phaser 3140.
Is it workable under Debian squeeze? Anyone have experience with the
printer Xerox Phaser 3140 under squeeze?
There are no drivers of it in the cups-package from distr. There are
only drivers for 3150 in database of openprinting too.
There are propietary drivers for Linux from the Xerox company:

but only for lenny and older Debian versions.

It works about 2 years ago under lenny without any problem with the

the Linux kernel 2.26.30, 2.26.32 from backports at that moment).
Some times it works some ours or minites (I don't know why) and ended
work again for a long times.
I expected that it would be work again under Squeeze but it don't work

I have the next kernel modules loaded:

As I can see I have that report about one hidden process permanently.
But when I am running the transmission-daemon on my system I have many
hidden procceses through `unhide brute`.

Yes.

Is it possible that it is a process that
 either starts or ends during the scan, so that ps sees it but by the time
 the /proc check occurs, it is gone or vice versa? I had not heard of unhide
 until this thread, but OSSEC has a similar feature, and I have seen this on
 my mailserver. The conclusion I came to is a routine (but short) process
 (such as postfix attempting to deliver mail) was firing and/or ending during
 the scan to cause the false positive?
 
 I'll take a look at unhide.

Thanks, I'll try to define what is that process.

 I had no such problem with Debian Lenny, but after upgrading to Squeeze
 the fonts in my console became very small.
 I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and sudo dpkg-reconfigure
 console-cyrillic but I have had no any success. (Under Lenny I had
 configured my console fonts such method without any problems).
 I tried to set vga=792 into my /boot/grub.cfg but have no success too.

 I had similar problem in squeeze, but i solved this just run sudo
 dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

 I come across this problem too , but the size of chars is still small .
 And I was wondering what's the default configuration of lenny ? anyone knows?
 
 Yes, It's the default configuration in squeeze, but i don't kown in lenny.
 
 It seems that the default font for the console is Fixed.
 Fixed and Terminus fonts in console  is small and ugly for me.
 
 see below, I copy it from console-setup
 
 VGA has a traditional appearance and has medium coverage of │
  │ international scripts. Fixed has a simplistic appearance and has│
  │ better coverage of international scripts. Terminus may help to reduce   │
  │ eye fatigue, though some symbols have a similar aspect which may be a │
  │ problem for programmers.  │
  │   │
  │ If you prefer a bold version of the Terminus font, choose either  │
  │ TerminusBold (if you use a framebuffer) or TerminusBoldVGA (otherwise).
 
 if you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and select Fixed or
 Terminus
 as the the default fonts in console,  the fonts is still small.
 Choose VGA as the default fonts and set font size to 16 is good enough to 
 me.
 You can try TerminusBold or TerminusBoldVGA, they all  better than VGA.
 
 Then, reboot the computer, the fonts in console will change.
 Sorry for my English.
 
 Good Luck!
 
 

I have no result. My fonts are not fonts but still a bullshit.
I have no idea how I can improve 'em.

 I tried many fonts and their sizes but the problem didn't disapper.
 
 Did you try reboot your computer after run sudo dpkg-reconfigure
 console-setup?

Yeah

 
 And the space about 1/5 of my display (on the right) under console
 aren't workable.
 It seems to me that probably it is a problem with settings of vga.
 
 you should edit /etc/default/grub to change vga settings but not
 /boot/grub.cfg if
 your current installed is grub2.

I did it but had no needed result. Probably I chose wrong vga-settings?
I have 1024x768 screen (under X11; maybe under console I need to use
another one?) and 32-bit videocard/

I tried to use vga=792 and vga=791 but have no result.
 
 But when my system starting, before the messgae console: switching to
 colour frame buffer device 128x48, I have normal fonts as in Lenny and
 full screen. Beginning this message fonts and workable screen space size
 are maked smaller.

 I tried to use vga=792 and vga=791 but have no result.
 
 Don't forget to run sudo update-grub2 after edit /etc/default/grub
 

I have resolved that problem.
There are two ways of resolving it: a) disabling kms; b) setting up
video= (instead vda= which don't work with kms) in menu.lst or grub.cfg.
In my system for the first way it needs to improve
'/etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf' by changing 'options i915 modeset' from
'1' to '0'.
For the second way I set up
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=video=LVDS-1:640x480 in my
/etc/default/grub and make `update-grub` (in your case it may be another
value and if you use grub1 you need to improve /boot/grub/menu.lst).

 Greetings,
 
I don't see any  suspicious in history, /var/log/auth.log is empty,
but I had earlier problems with its settins.
As I can see from last, nobody connected with my server from my last
connection in the beginning of this month.
But I see some strange:
1) in /var/log/apt/term.log:
dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH.
dpkg: `start-stop-daemon' not found on PATH.
dpkg: `install-info' not found on PATH.
dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH.
dpkg: 4 expected program(s) not found on PATH.
NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin.
- unusual record and making when I don't logged in the server; I have no
records from that period in /var/log/aptitude and in /var/log/dpkg
since my last logging and updating/upgrading packeges.
2) in the /var/log/sw-cp-server (HTTP server for SWsoft control panels )
based on lighttp according to aptitude search) - many records for the
suspicious period sa the next:
(connections.c.299) SSL: 1 error:140760FC:SSL
routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol - was my server hijack
through the control panel?
3) in /var/log/tor:
[notice] Received reload signal (hup). Reloading config and resetting
internal state. -a) in the same time each last days; b) I didn't logged
in my server and didn't sent that signal to tor-daemon.
4) in /var/log/messages I have many unexpected messages about opening

5) in /var/log/messages and /var/log/debug I have many records

 Is the rest of the software as ancient as the kernel? Lenny uses 2.6.26.
 You should probably ask for a more recent kernel.
 
 Is it a rootkit or other error?
 
 I would suspect it's a rootkit. Does the system have any open ports you

It seems that not. But I am not sure.

 What I need to do - remove infected

 Reinstall. There's no other way to make sure you really got rif of the
 rootkit. And then make sure to close the hole that allowed the
 attacker to hijack your system. It's probably either a well-known, but
 unpatched piece of software or a homegrown, easily exploitable
 application (custom CMS or something like that).

 giving me much to go on, and their respective support teams are blaming
 each other for the resulting connectivity issues.

 This is only temporary (I hope) - it is a gateway machine I'm talking
 about - the apps are running on Windows on the LAN.

 I found this on the net:

 
 You can disable IPv6 system-wide by editing your module configuration
 file. This is usually one of /etc/odprobe.conf or
 /etc/modprobe.d/aliases, depending on your distro. Remove any references
 to IPv6 and add these two lines.

 alias net-pf-10 off
 alias ipv6 off
 

 Is that going to do the job fine for lenny?

 What is your distro, your kernel?
 For lenny's kernel 2.6.26 you can include the file ipv5.conf into the
 directory /etc/modprobe.d with the next content:
 blacklist ipv6
 For the next versions of kernel (i.e. 2.6.32) you can include the words
 ipv6.disable=1 into /boot/grub/menu.lst such as the next:
 kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64
 root=UUID=x ipv6.disable=1 ro
 Or compile your own kernel withount ipv6 from sources.
 
 Yes, it's lenny 2.6.26.
 
 Are you sure you mean ipv5.conf? ipv4.conf or ipv6.conf surely?
 
 Google returns zero results for ipv5.conf.
 
 I guess it shows what a neophyte in networking I am that I don't know
 whether there's an IPv5.
 
 Regards
 Adam
 
 PS Thanks to all for the suggestions for google search strings, but I
 did that already and was asking here to confirm it before I dive in and
 reboot my server with potentially dodgey config.
 
 

It is my mistake. sorry :)
Of cause, ipv6.conf

 First of all let me thank you for a great system. You have made my

 Virtualbox-3.1. I am reliant on it in order to run Windows on top of

 your work so I have to comply. However it is much easier to back up
 and maintain Windows from Virtualbox. I am trying to deploy 10
 machines at this time but I am unable to load Virtualbox. An error
 message keeps coming up telling me that it has been temporarily
 moved. Is there any way for you to still let me load the system with
 the same load I have now while you work on whatever the problem is.

 Thanks again for a great system.

Cannot you load it through aptitude? I couldn't too. It is something
wrong with repositories of Sun probably in the consequence from buying
them by Oracle.
But it was possible to me to get that deb-package from there and to
install it through dpkg -i.

 None, except using a buggy kernel-package.

   
 This is kernel package version 11.015.
 

 You need to upgrade kernel-package to version 12.032, or use
 make deb-pkg instead.

Debian AMD64) to the Seagate ST9500420AS 500 GB.
It seems that it works fine but I have the next result of the smartctl
now: http://paste.org.ru/?hb4nsx
In the beginning of using it I had the next result:
http://paste.org.ru/?ouzru9
I have read that the smartctl can get very strandge results for Seagate
HDDs and it may be not so terrible as it seems.
Have anyone an opinion concirning this matter?
And the next question, how can I get the serial number of my Seagate HDD
without drawning it out from my notebook?
I want to send request to the Seagate technical support but tor it I
must register on their site with that number and their site don't want
it the serial number that I can get with exicuting commands smartctl
or hdparm.

1) You do not need an initrd at all.


I'm actually a newbie and using GRUB as it was installed by default.

Will deleting the /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-3-386 file and initrd 
instruction within menu.lst be sufficient?




No, you need to compile your own kernel with support for your hardware 
that you use.


The trouble is that I wanted a generic kernel to make adding different 
hardware relatively painless. Also, wouldn't this mean I would need to 
recompile the kernel every time a security patch is released? I hope 
this is wrong, otherwise I may as well quit now, part with some of my 
hard-earned and install Windows ;-).



2) I would make sure you are booting from the /dev/md* partition.


I *think* I am booting from the /dev/md0 partition:

# cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
[...]
# groot=(hd0,5)
[...]
title   Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-3-386
root(hd0,5)
kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-3-386 root=/dev/md0 ro
initrd  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-3-386
savedefault
boot
[...]


That appears to be right, but I would ditch the initrd stuff and use a 
statically compiled kernel that you create for your hardware.  Also, I 
use LILO here.


I'll move to LILO and test booting again.



I understand this means the system will load the BootLoader from the 
first disk BIOS presents, and partition number 6 on that disk (in my 
case, hda6 or hdc6). It will then try to boot the kernel from 
/dev/md0, which it should manage:


# cat /etc/fstab
proc/proc   procdefaults0   0
/dev/md0/   ext3defaults,errors=remount-ro 
0   1

/dev/md1/var/mail   ext3defaults0   2
/dev/hda5   noneswapsw  0   0
/dev/hdc5   noneswapsw  0   0
/dev/hdd/media/cdrom0   iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0   0

I don't see a problem here, but please correct me if I've said 
somthing wrong.




A classic mistake.  NEVER use swap on different drives.  You always want 
to RAID1 the swap as well.  If one disk dies and you are swapping to it, 
the integrity of the data can be at risk.  Always keep your swap on RAID.


The reason I didn't include swap in the RAID1 was because I once 
installed Vinum on FreeBSD and I believe it was recommended not to 
mirror swap at that time because the PC would crash anyway if one disk 
failed. I will try to add swap into the mirror.



   3) You must have a /boot on a /dev/md partition. 

From looking at the above, /boot would fall under /dev/md0 (I think)?



It /looks/ right.


4) You need LILO installed with the special raid option in the config.


Maybe I should ditch GRUB and learn/install LILO.


Definitely.

If you are ever on IRC sometime, I may be able to better help you with 
your issues.


That's very kind, thanks. I just want to see if anyone else has any 
suggestions at the moment.


The next step you need to really do is compile your own kernel and get 
it working with RAID support and stop using an initrd/kernel.


Justin.




5) I have done this and tested by pulling each HDD out and it working
   successfully with Debian + 2x74GB raptors.

Justin.




Thanks very much for your time.

MySQL and DBI

2000-07-10 Thread James Brown
I'm having a problem opening the data source of the MySQL server.  The set
up of my servers are as follows:

1.  My remote server is a Unix Apache and is with an ISP.  I've
installed/unzipped the Data-Dumper, DBI, MSQL-MySQL Module and the
CGI.pm into a folder just off the root.  I named the folder DBI.

2.  However, the MySQL server with the same ISP is on a separate Unix
server.

3. I have a client I downloaded onto my computer from the Artronic.com
web site which I use to connect to the MySQL server.  With this client, I
can create tables, run queries and other administrative things.  It's a good
client, but is still going through further development.

I believe that the script that I have so far needs only a little tweaking to
properly code the data source.  I've tried several different configurations
to  make this script work, but it's not happening.  HELP!!!  I've
been working on it for three days now.  I'm desparate.

Please give me a quotation for your assistance and let me know if you accept
credit cards.  I think either a telephone or private on-line chat session
would suffice.

Hi All,
I've been trying to install Debian on a P-II, with a ASUS P2B-LS
Motherboard, and a Adaptec AIC-7890 Ultra2 SCSI chipset.

My problem is that Debian's installation program doesnt seem to detect
my SCSI
harddrive!

Has anyone else used a similar setup?
Could someone PLEASE tell me how to get is to work!

Thanks,

Multiple NE2000 Cards (Using NE Loadable Module)

1998-09-22 Thread James Brown \(Ender/GCC\)
Hi,
   I need HELP! I'm trying to set up debian (running .30 kernel, and 
libc5 NOT hamm!), with 2 NE2000 compatable network cards.
One is 0x340 Irq=5, and other is 0x360 irq 12.
I'm read the minihowto (Multiple Ethernet), and put that in my lilo 
config, but that seems to only apply with the BUILT IN drivers.

I'm using the ne loadable driver, (eg, at the end of my etc/modules 
theres a line that reads 'ne io=0x340').

HELP! Please? Anyone?

Hamm problem. (XDM, maybe)

1998-07-30 Thread James Brown \(Ender/Gcc\)
Hi,
   I've just upgraded my system to Hamm, but after a reboot the screen
flashs from text to graphics
mode, and back. I think it might be XDM, as X Windows doesnt load...

Any suggestions on how I can stop this? I dont want to format my H/D,
and I cant shutdown XDM
because the keyboard doesnt work while switching. And as the screen
switchs about 5 times a second...

Lock up with NE2000 card (md)

1998-07-16 Thread James Brown \(Ender/Gcc\)
Hi all...

I'm having trouble using an NE2000 network card in Debian.
I've installed debian, alls fine, but whenever I put the network card
in (Which, btw, works fine under dos), the kernel locks up during boot.
The last thing I see before it locks up is: md MAX... and some other
stuff.

The Install program does the same.

Anyone know how to fix this?
