Re: What are you talking about
2011/8/4 Kevin Williams legendary2...@gmail.com I was just trying to boot up my laptop I'm studying computer science when I get to college next year. May be you should consider another career... Surely you can study CS anyway, but you'll need to teach yourself a lot more... Technology is changing everyday... Telecommunications is a lot more stable than CS e even there I studied analog switches and now I install and see Asterisk everywhere. so I decided to get to know linux so I can know something before college and my friend told me out was hard to listen so I figured I should learn know then later. Now my laptop isn't booting up to debian and I don't know what I'm doing Why can't you follow the documentation (howto) like everybody else... you can even try Ubuntu... My wife's laptop is a Debian one, even my 4 year girl use it every day and is having a lot of fun. You may find that the world is more friendly today than was when I started typing my own games in a storageless TK85... I really loved the MSX and you can't imagine what having a hard disk has mean to a technology student just a few years ago... Unix is just great and easy to hack... -- Leonardo Ruoso - Jornalista/Desenvolvedor Assessoria de Imprensa. Consultoria de Marketing. Desenvolvimento e Integração de Software.

Sony Vaio VPC EE47FB Moved from Squeeze to Sid to get touchpad working

How to rip double discs albums?
Because I'll move to another state and I'd like to carry out all my music without my old discs I'm trying to tip my original albums. I'm having problems with Sound Juicer (Squeeze) and double disc albums like Beatles Anthology. When inserting both disc 1 and 2 of Beatles Anthology 3 it comes with all 50 songs. While extracting CD1 it gets all tracks until 27 and, after that, keeps extracting track 1 several times until filling all 50 tracks.. While extracting CD 2 all tracks 28 - 50 overwrites the CD 1 tracks... Is there any way to fix it? -- Leonardo Ruoso - Jornalista/Desenvolvedor Assessoria de Imprensa. Consultoria de Marketing.

FullHD notebook support under Debian (sid)
I'm addicted to Debian and I need a new notebook, but I don't like replacing my hardware too often. I suppose requiring a FullHD display is a good strategy to buy a new notebook and keep it for the next 10 years :-) Brazil has a program of low interest rates for computers manufactured in the country (Sony, Dell, etc..). What about a checklist to not buy anything with a poor Debian support? I don't mind using Sid/Experimental. I'm running Gnome 3 on an originally sarge computer by now and I'm very happy with it. I recently bought my wife a Sony vpc-ea43fb and got it running well after pushing it to the experimental kernel. No luck with testing. It's not a problem, but it's a pretty basic/cheap model with a 1366x768 display and I'd like to get something more interesting :-) Regards, -- Leonardo Ruoso - Jornalista/Desenvolvedor Assessoria de Imprensa.

Being a laptop you can be happy with ~5 years of lifecycle.

Whenever I ask they say it will be Windows 7 compatible only, even when I have no issues. FullHD is not the current standard for DTV, Blueray and camcorders? Although I believe DTV will evolve faster than PAL/NTSC standards, I believe FullHD will stand as a standard for quite a while, surely far more than 10 years from now.

It sounds nice to have a shared resolution with consumer/presentation media products. Personally I would go with a ThinkPad anytime (I specifically did not say Lenovo, because their non-ThinkPad stuff is not so good). Will notebooks standardize on 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio?

2011/4/30 Henrique de Moraes Holschuh h...@debian.org How one is supposed to be able to use a 16:9 screen for any coding, report writing, spreadsheet work, and even *reading*, I have no clue. Hell, it is useless even for presentations, and that's saying something... Let's see... Text Processor: it's not good to preview the whole page, but it's nice when you fit to width; Spreadsheet: Don't mind having more columns than rows - it's quite common to print spreadsheet in landscape; Presentations: I think it's where being compatible with TV sets matter more - also good presentation (to me) has no bullets and lots of pictures and also some video; Coding: I can't see the difference? May be having two windows tiled could be nice... I mean, I can get some use out of 16:9 22 screens as I just use them as if they were two smaller screens side by side or get a monitor that lets me rotate the screen, but in a small notebook? I think you can still call a ~15 portable... and I think I prefer a second screen with the same size/resolution. IMO tablets WILL kill the notebook in the next five years, if only because a tablet can be used in the proper orientation for serious work (including reading) AND you can attach a bluetooth keyboard to it. I'm quite sure they will compete with netbookd and e-readers, but I think mosy people who is buying standard notebooks are those with eventual mobility. Notebooks become an alternative do desktop because of silence, size, power consumption and, just in case, portability.

Re: Let's say you never want to upgrade from Lenny...
security updates protocol updates (IPv6 is comming to town) most users deal better with smaller and incremental interface changes 2011/4/5 Mark mamar...@gmail.com Hypothetically if a user doesn't want to upgrade to Squeeze, what would they have to do once Lenny stops being supported by Debian? Let's assume the machines are used primarily for web surfing, including using flash. Would they need to install Firefox manually once Lenny stops getting updates for Iceweasel? What other hiccups would they encounter? If the machines run great with Lenny then what is the reason to give a user to upgrade if they're perfectly happy with what they have and don't want it changed? Thanks for any ideas.

I would like to use my old three-button roll-ball serial mouse (Logitech M-MD15L) but have so far failed. The PC is new with an Intel i5 motherboard and a serial port. With Lenny, it was sufficient to have this section in xorg.conf: Section InputDevice Identifier Configured Mouse Driver mouse Option CorePointer Option Device/dev/ttyS0 Option Protocol Microsoft Option Emulate3Buttons true EndSection That hasn't worked. I also tried replacing /dev/ttyS0 with /dev/input/mice. I have tried the same two versions of xorg.conf with the mouse on a serial-to-USB adapter instead of the direct serial port. None of these four configurations supported the serial mouse. I'm testing while running the fvwm window manager. I have xserver-xorg-input-mouse installed. In all four cases, Xorg.0.log looked about the same. These were the only lines with mouse in them: (**) |--Input Device Configured Mouse (WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or \ 'vmmouse' will be disabled. (WW) Disabling Configured Mouse (==) intel(0): Silken mouse enabled I can post the whole file if necessary. Connecting a modern USB mouse works and creates /dev/mouse0. I think the old mouse, even via the USB adapter, is not detected by udev. At least I don't see anything new under /dev after I plug it in. Is there any way to get the old mouse working with Wheezy?

Re: Squeeze/Sony Vaio VPCee23eb/Keyboard Layout
Added experimental do apt sources, installed the lastest kernel image and, voi lá, everything is working now, even the keypad is working as Home, End, Pg Up/Down and others when Num Lock isn't activeted. I also had to add radeon firmware from non-free. So I recognize that having the latest Ubuntu installed should be easier for a newbie, mostly because they are early adopters. I am pretty happy that both Fn+Sleep and closing display automaticaly worked suspending the system, which I prefered to change to hybernate, leanving suspend just for short inactivity periods. User experience is, believe or not, even better than with pre-installed but fully updated Windows 7 (which I kept in case I need any hardware support from Sony). The Sony Vaio Alps Touchpad was getting crazy (at least to my understanding) under Windows 7 after a while. This never happened yet under Debian Squeeze running stock 2.6.37 kernel image. Sound is now good and clear. HDMI sound output is yet to be tested. I'm also using ext4 hopping it will save battery time, which was less than good under windows... I can't say that Sony Vaio VPC EE23EB works with Debian Squeeze OOTB, but upgrading the kernel to the lastest debian package available and installing firmare-linux-non-free was pretty easy.

kernel panic when doing mkfs.ext3 on a /dev/md0 (/dev/sdb /dev/sdc)
Hi, I have a fresh Debian Lenny Box with three Sata Disks (250GB and 2 X 500GB). / is mounted on the first disk (/dev/sda) outside any raid array. The other disks (/dev/sdb and /dev/sdc) have only one raid partition each and were used by mdadm to create a software raid array (/dev/md0). I keep getting Kernel Panic whenever I try mkfs.ext2(3|4): mkfs.ext2 /dev/md0. I googled it, but most of the kernel panic pages refers to booting from a raid array, which is not my case.

Discagem automatica do RDSI (ISDN) acontecendo aparentemente sem requisicao de trafego
Estou com um pequeno, apesar de caro, problema no meu computador de casa. Parti a instalacao dele a partir do Corel Linux, depois mudei para o potato. Final de semana passado instalei uma linha RDSI na minha casa com um adaptador ISA Hisax Eicom Diva, que estah funcionando bem. Primeiramente configurei com o pppconfig, usando o pppd convencional a partir do ttyI0, para em seguida configurar o ipppd atraves do dispositivo ipppd0. Funcionou tudo perfeitamente, exceto pelo fato de que a conexao estah iniciando aparentemente sem requisicao de trafego para o dispositivo ipppd0, mesmo depois de conectado nao ha qualquer pacote transmitido - que possa ser detectado atraves do iptraf. Atraves do ipppstats aparecem alguns pacotes transmitidos e recebidos num unico momento, logo apos ocorrem uns dez eventos e novamente uns poucos pacotes sao transmitidos. Acontece que nao sei como seguir esses pacotes para saber quem estah fazendo essas requisicoes. Naturalmente jah removi qualquer Servidor de nomes que nao fosse o localhost do /etc/resolv.conf. O que eu posso fazer para descobrir que aplicativo estah provocando esta conexao - e aparentemente nao se comunicando com nenhum sitio da rede. Obrigado Antecipadamente []'s leo
Re: Servidor nao entra :-(
Adriana, essa falha na inicializacao da WD-7000 deve-se ao fato de que provavelmente jamais houve tal adaptador no seu servidor, essa mensagem aparece por que voce usa o kernel padrao da Debian, que possue suporte para todos os contraladores SCSI possiveis.

Re: Which Linux should I install?
I'd like to know if Linux can do what NT can do in a client X server configuration. Let me explain. I don't want every workstation user an network/system administrator. With NT I can configure from server wich volumes will be maped for each user, wich workstation each user will be granted access, wich printer each user will be granted use. As well I can use the login script to set the general preferences and others Can I do that with Linux (UNIX)? Can I, from the server, attach or intall resources to workstations? Can the user login only into the server (not the localhost login)? George Bonser escreveu: Your main choices would be Debian, Slackware, Red Hat and S.u.S.E though there are a few others out there. Of the four, I find Debian to be best suited for servers. The packages have well configured default installations, are usually changed easilly by editing configuration files in intuitive locations, and integrate well with other packages that they might interact with. Red Hat is probably best suited to a single user desktops installations. They have an extensive GUI control panel that works very well if resources are being managed from the local console but leave much to be desired in the server is being administered remotely. They also have invented some interesting locations for configuration options that take considerable sleuthing to locate if the GUI control options are not available. Slackware is basicly a bare-bones linux platform with a minimal number of pre-packaged applications. Slackware takes considerable administation as new software must be configured and built on the system. The local admin is responsible for integration with other software. If you are familliar with Sun Solaris, you will find Debian very familliar in layout. If you are experianced in Berkeley Unix, Slackware and Red Hat will not seem too alien to you. S.u.S.E. uses the Red Hat packaging system with their own system sonfiguration and management software. In addition, they are major contributors to the XFree86 X windows project. Oh! I almost forgot about Caldera. They are a completely commercial Linux distribution and offer support to include references to local providers of on-site technical support. Netscape commercial servers are also available for Caldera Linux. I use Debian for servers. It is easiest to keep up to date using remote administration and has been extremely stable. One thing to look for is a local consultant that has experiance in performance tuning. The default distribution kernels can require some minor patching to raise the number of allowable open files and processes that might be required for a very busy server. This is just one example but the point is that a local consultant can smooth the transition and save you considerable time and money in the long run.
