Re: in Debian bookworm /var/log/syslog is empty
hmmm, I looked at the release notes, but it does not say how to restore the old behavior, it just says many files are no longer necessary and lists them. I am using logwatch and that program seems to be effected, I would be OK, if I could get logwatch to work properly.

Hi. I am using bookworm with latest updates and /var/log/syslog is empty, even though rsyslog is runniing.

a couple of problems after upgrading to bookworm
Hi. I upgraded to bookworm and it went pretty well, but I have some strange errors (what's a not strange error). I use logwatch and I am getting apache2 level error and then a number of times, but I cannot find what its complaining about. I did not get these under bullseye. I am running with kernel 6.1.0-10. Also, I am getting the following: i915 :00:02.0: Direct firmware load for i915/skl_dmc_ver1_27.bin failed with error -2 ...: 4 Time(s) Where can I find this firmware -- isn't it in the firmware-linux-free package?

I am upgrading freepbx which needs odcb access to the mariadb databases. Here is my odbc.ini [MySQL-asteriskcdrdb] Description = MySQL connection to 'asteriskcdrdb' database Driver = MySQL Server = localhost Database = asteriskcdrdb Port = 3306 Socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock Option = 3 and here is my odbcinst.ini [MySQL] Description = ODBC for MySQL (MariaDB) Driver = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libmaodbc.so FileUsage = 1 and that library has a new version under bookworm. -- Your life is like a penny.

Re: php 7.4 and bookworm
Mostly its with apache and the freepbx application which uses a lot of php applications which were originally installed with php 7.4 and then Debian upgraded all of them to php 8.2. I have already changed the php.default to 7.4 and changed the mods-enabled in apache to php7.4 rather than 8.2.

OK, so I installed the repo, and got php7.4, but there are still lots of php82 packages installed. Do I have to install php7.4 equivalents to each package? Any shorthand way to do the whole lot?

Hi. So, I want to upgrade to bookworm, but I have an application which needs php 7.4 and I guess they are not yet ready to fix. So, how can I keep that version, even if its just for that app?

I did not get that tasksel at all, at the end of the install I had 12 choices, 11 was ssh server and 12 was standard system components and by mistake I chose 12. I cannot use the gui, I need speech to read the screen and I don't want all that bloat running on a voip server. What if I just put a stanza in /etc/network/interfaces and get rid of network manager?

new install: configuring ethernet strangeness
Hi. I just installed Debian Bullseye on a refurbished computer which I am going to use as a voip server. Now, due to my ignorance, at the very end of the install, I selected to use #12 which said standard system items. Well, to my horror, I got gnome with all its dependencies. I ran apt-get and purged all the gnome items. However, my outgoing connection instead of being in /etc/network/interfaces is now managed by network-manager. I don't want to use the gui, but there seems to be no good way to configure the connection, should I need to do so. /etc/systemd/network is empty. So, how can I either get back to /etc/network/interfaces or somehow manage the existing connection which is buried in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ and is readable, but I could never change it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una cov...@ccs.covici.com

Well, I got it from git and it built correctly, the instructions were
a bit different and it downloaded something during the build as well,
so I hope it works, I will be testing soon.

What packages do I need for this to work properly?I have unixodbc and its development files along with the obcinst packages, but no driver for the database.

Re: problems with initrd on some of my Debian systems
Ok, thanks for that.

problems with initrd on some of my Debian systems
Hi. I am having some problems with some of my initrds on some of my debian 9 systems. For instance, when I try to boot the system, the initrd seems to lack lvm support and since my root fs is a logical volume, the boot does not work. So, I have booted the system to sysresccd and look at things. All the logical volumes are still there when I do this. In the boot directory there is an initrd, but when I look at it with cpio, it just has the following: kernel kernel/x86 kernel/x86/microcode kernel/x86/microcode/.enuineIntel.align.0123456789abc kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin 4712 blocks This seems abnormal to me, I have another Debian system in the cloud and when I do the same cpio command on its initrd, it has lots of modules and libraries and all the correct lvm binaries. It looks like the /etc/makeinitramfs/initramfs.conf are the same on both systems, so I am stumped as to how to get things working.

I never used the 2.6 native option (didn't work when I tried around 2.6.6 and I haven't tried since), only this one, which also works for 2.4 kernels. Its usually very stable, although a bit dynamic so it comes and goes for some people. It does have a lot more features then the 2.6 native option. Some main ones are initrd support (it can be compiled as a module), compression of the image (lzf and gzip), using encrypted swap (Takes a bit of work to get working at the moment) and quite a few more. I also supports swap files. There is talk for quite some time now about including it into the stock kernel but it will probably take a bit more time. Now it also supports saving the image but then going into S3 sleep so wake is fast but no data is lost if the battery runs out.

Re: how can I put an acpi laptop to sleep?
Hi. The software suspend help in the kernel says to use swsusp to
suspend the machine and in that same area it gives a big warning about
enabling the sleep states -- is this warning no longer accurate and
where do I get swsusp?
Thanks.

i just use the native 2.6 swsusp and acpi with my r40.
for the command, i just coded a little script that ultimately calls:
echo 4 /proc/acpi/sleep
and i've added bits along the way, like resetting the clock, disabling
laptop mode, etc.
here's most my script:
#!/bin/sh
chvt 12 # since i like to watch
/etc/init.d/laptop-mode stop
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh stop
echo 4 /proc/acpi/sleep
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh start

Re: how can I put an acpi laptop to sleep?
Thanks much for your response -- this will be very handy, but it answers a different problem -- I was hoping for an equivalent of the apm -s command which is much less drastic and happens automatically with no activity, so it seemed like a good idea to have such a thing -- I suppose I could just suspend when there is no activity -- is that what the apm -s does? on Wednesday 12/08/2004 H.

You should do a lspci -v and make sure you really have a sound blaster live -- it should tell you its identity. If you can't modprobe emu10k1, my guess is that you do not have that chip.

aptitude trap: 'hold' directives not honored.
It seems that Debian and the apt-get utilities have different places where they keep such information -- I had the opposite case a few weeks ago, where something I had put on hold in Deboian was not honored by dselect. Could the authors get together and straighten out the situation? on Friday 05/21/2004 Karsten M. Self([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote I just found my Galeon install inadvertantly updated (I can't say upgraded) from 1.2.x (9ish?) to 1.3.14a-1. This despite its being listed as hold in dpkg --get-selections: galeon hold I've got major reservations with where Galeon's gone in the 1.3 branch, most of which I feel is a major step backwards. Needless to say, I'm not particularly pleased. I don't believe I can force a revision to the prior version, though I'll look into that. This corresponds to my switching from doing 'apt-get -yu dist-upgrade' to 'aptitude -yu dist-upgrade'. I noted a lot of packages getting updated under aptitude that weren't being changed with apt-get. The galeon situation is one of the more annoying of these changes. This also calls for the possibility of Debian treating major revisions of packages as separate packages. This is already done with several development tools (gcc, perl, python, etc.). While desktop / end-user apps don't fall quite under the same category, being able to manage this change more precisely could be useful. Peace. -- Karsten M.

Windows multiboot (aaargh!)
I am pretty sure windows in general always wants to be the first partition on a given drive and even if I am wrong about that you can't have more than one boot partition per drive -- also make sure your machine will boot from the third drive. Also, you should not do the install on a separate box, windows needs to know the hardware it is going to encounter during the install. You might consider vmware -- seems much safer to me for what you want. on Thursday 09/11/2003 cr([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote This may seem an odd place to ask this, but I'll bet some of the folks on this list know more about the technicalities of booting Windoze than Windoze users do ;) I'd like to add a multi-boot DOS + Win95/98 hard drive to my Linuxbox.

I'm just wondering how practical that is.Can W95 and W98 coexist on the same disk in diferent partitions and still both be bootable?If not, any suggestion on which is the better one to install?And, would I need to lose one of the DOS partitions so as not to exceed the allowable number? There are plenty of multiboot HOWTOs, but they all seem to be WinNT + something.I can't find a W95 + W98.Before I start trying to figure out the details, I'd just like to know if I'm chasing an impossibility.

Well, I'll have to take a look to make sure, thanks so much. on Wednesday 01/08/2003 Colin Watson([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote On Wed, Jan 08, 2003 at 11:11:52AM -0500, John covici wrote: on Wednesday 01/08/2003 Colin Watson([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote On Wed, Jan 08, 2003 at 10:02:31AM -0500, John covici wrote: OK, here is a sample.

Could you show the output of the following commands, please? dpkg -l dpkg dpkg -l textutils dpkg -S /usr/bin/md5sum The funny thing is that not all packages are having the problem.

All the same, you definitely appear to be using an outdated version of dpkg: I've found the change that removed md5sum gave malformatted output, dated 25 December 2000, which means you must have something before dpkg 1.9. Are you sure you don't have a stray copy of dpkg lying around on your $PATH somewhere?

Re: several packages failing -- is debconf broke?
Well, I found out that if I change the terminal type from linux to VT100 those escape codes are not generated and so everything works. I did notice that during this upgrade a new version of /etc/terminfo/l/linux was installed, anyway that something in there could do this? on Thu, 5 Dec 2002 14:58:29 -0500 Joey Hess [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: John covici wrote: debconf (developer): -- [11;80][10;1800]VERSION 2.0 dpkg: error processing foomatic-bin (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 20 debconf (developer): -- [11;80][10;1800]VERSION 2.0 dpkg: error processing locales (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 20 Well the problem seems to be this garbage that is being fed into debconf, and so it returns a protocol error (code 20). It looks like terminal escape codes. Any idea why your echo command would be outputting escape sequences when told to echo something like VERSION 2.0? -- see shy jo -- John Covici [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
