Unfortunately google wasn't really helpful (at least for dl180 g6 debian, p212 debian and similar phrases). Hello, I just installed Squeeze on several HP DL360 G6 servers and it works fine. Each of these servers has the P410i controller with two physical disks configured in a RAID 1 mirror. Debian uses the built-in cciss driver and maps the RAID volume to /dev/cciss/c0d0. If you don't have a RAID volume set up, I would imagine it would map the first physical drive to /dev/cciss/c0d0, the next to /dev/cciss/c0d1, etc. One quick note, you will need the firmware for the network hardware in these machines.

That's one of the reasons I avoid storing contacts on the phone or phone's SD card and use the SIM. While SIM memory is very limited and contacts cannot exceed of ~250 (at least with the 128 KiB SIM card it provides my carrier) I still can transfer the contacts from the SIM to any smart|mobile phone without any hitch.

CPU Fan turning on (laptop)
Dear all, I recently bought a new laptop (Toshiba L670). When using it for a little while the CPU Fan is turning ON for no reason (IMHO). How do I display temperature information on a latop ? I tried sensors-detect but it simply returned: No sensors found! Thanks -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

VMware Converter equivalent
Hi all, I recently bought a laptop with a microsoft windows 7 OEM OS. I would like to convert into a virtual machine for later use in VirtualBox. * I tried using restore DVD, but upon installation within VirtualBox it keeps on claiming an insane amount of disk space for installation * I tried using VMWare Converter but the software fails miserably during conversion (around 1% progress). Does anyone knows of any other alternatives software to convert a physical machine to a virtual one ?

GMail backup on debian
Hi there, Last week I decided to back up some of my mails from my gmail account. I remember that there used to be gmailfs mechanism for this. However the package is not available on my debian/squeeze anymore. I also tried using the imap service, using evolution, but it became quickly a nightmare (it is just impossible to retrieve just a single mail). I even selected 'Basic Headers' from the IMAP headers preferences in evolution. What are other people using when there gmail mailbox is becoming big ?

Getting the memory used by a process
Hi there, I am trying to find out the memory used by a process (peak memory actually). I found the command 'pmap', howeverI cannot find a way to retrieve the PID of a process when execution time is really short. For instance, this does not work: /bin/ls (ps ax | grep ls) Any other tool, other than pmap to do find that information ? I would also like to avoid something as heady as valgrind --tool=massif.

Mounting cdrom ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 1 / ISOFS: changing to secondary root
Hi there, I have been experiencing a very bizarre behavior in the last couple of weeks. I am running a lenny system with kernel 2.6.32 from backport and for some reason I cannot mount cdrom from the gnome session anymore. From the command line, it works after much struggle (*). What is odd is: - DATA CD with ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A are fine, no problem (typically my bootable cdrom of lenny) (3 different cd tested) - DATA DVD are fine, no problem (3 different dvd tested) - DATA CD with ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 1 seems to all have the same symptoms on my machine (4 different cd tested). They do load perfectly fine on a windows machine. The only bug that ressemble those symptoms is: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=583949 However I find it hard that so few people would experience that.

setting XKBLAYOUT to gb in squeeze ?
Hi there, I am wondering if anyone has been able to setup XKBLAYOUT properly on debian/squeeze. I am reading http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/InputHotplugGuide It says: $ grep -C 3 -i xkb /etc/default/console-setup - return nothing on my computer. Reading the file it seems I actually need to change /etc/default/keyboard instead, so I did: $ grep -C 3 -i xkb /etc/default/keyboard # /etc/init.d/hal restart # The following variables describe your keyboard and can have the same # values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options # in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. XKBMODEL=pc105 XKBLAYOUT=gb XKBVARIANT= XKBOPTIONS=terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp # If you don't want to use the XKB layout on the console, you can # specify an alternative keymap. Make sure it will be accessible # before /usr is mounted. # KMAP=/etc/console-setup/defkeymap.kmap.gz As specified, I did rerun the hal deamon: $ sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart Restarting Hardware abstraction layer: hald. $ lshal | grep xkb - return nothing If I look at the log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I can see something weird: ... (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device Dell Dell USB Keyboard (type: KEYBOARD) (**) Option xkb_rules evdev (**) Option xkb_model pc104 (**) Option xkb_layout us ... I also tried : dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration and I explicitely specify dell USB keyboard, it then picks up that my keyboard is 'gb' style and not 'us', but the change has no effect even after a gdm restart.

debian stable + nvidia driver
Hi there, Has anyone installed a debian stable + nvidia driver recently. I am stuck with linux kernel 2.6-26, I do not understand exactly what is going on with backports: http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/linux-headers-2.6-amd64 I even tried moving to the linux image in testing, but udev apparently changed a lot, so I had to revert the change (I do not remember the exact error). Anyway, I went back to installing a stable 5.0.4 with linux 2.6.26 and installing nvidia-kernel-2.6.26, I discover the driver 173.14.09-5v (stable/non-free) did no support my card (heavy flickering on any action). I then tried to compile the nvidia-graphics-drivers on my amd64, since it now requires ia32-libs (= 20090804) [amd64]. I do not care about any ia32 stuff, so I simply remove all references to ia32 from the debian/control file and then compiled it by hand: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc All seems well until depmod exit with a 1 error code. Where can I see what is going on ? Is there a log ? Thanks, -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Boot order / Grub / USB installer
Hi there, I am trying to install a stable debian 504 using an USB key. Here is what I did: $ wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz $ wget http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.4/amd64/iso-cd/debian-504-amd64-netinst.iso $ zcat boot.img.gz /dev/sdd [remount cycle] $ cp debian-504-amd64-netinst.iso /media/Debian\ Inst However after installation it looks like grub switch its internal hd0 / hd1 (device map file) in between /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1. I had to manually invert them, re-run grub-install. This happen on a DELL Precision WorkStation T7500. Does this ring a bell to anyone ?

Sounds like you may have modified boot-device order in the BIOS after the install? Anyway, it's advisable to use UUIDs instead of /dev/ device names when dealing with grub, fstab and the like. Personally, I prefer to use disk (partition) labels, such as lenny, home, or dumpster. Where do I do that from the debian installer ? (I used option LVM on entire disk).

HTH -- Mathieu That's exactly what I've been wanting for a long time. Though one should note that in addition to installing that, it is also necessary to install nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-ia32. On a related note, I manage to shoot myself in the foot by installing nvidia-glx from stable. Make sure to take exactly the same version. -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Affordable big endian machine to run debian
Hi there, For a toy project I am looking for a big endian machine where I could run debian on it (of course!). I tried using qemu + a powerpc image but running a C++ compiler / linker was extraodinarly slow. G5 is just way to expensive for me. If possible I would like to avoid having to buy a used machine on ebay. Can I find something in the range [1000$ - 1500$] ? Thanks a bunch ! -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

VMWare Player as debian package
Hello, Has anyone tried to package VMWare-Player as debian package ? I am not able to find anything up-to-date for things related to vmware. I am not very incline to run the shell (.bundle) script as root. Thank you, -- Mathieu Ps: no flame please, I was given a vmware image. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
