That is pretty much exactly the configuration I was thinking of

In this case I have a Trendnet IP camera which will write to an NFS

consume less power than a conventional machine that I might be able to 
run in a headless configuration. The Raspberry Pi seems to fit the 
bill.

Throw in a couple of cheap usb drives and it seems to be a very 
workable fairly inexpensive system.

Thanks for your reply, Henrique. I don't really know if that was the

I thought I'd try the upgrades again, and noticed that it was slowly 
upgrading - reducing the upgrade queue.

after a couple of repeated attempts running the upgrade it cleared the 
queue and there were no more updates to apply. Hurrah!

But then, since there was a new kernel in the upgrades  I rebooted, to 
find the system wouldn't boot.

Fortunately, I could still read the disk partitions with user data.

I have now just finished installing on a new bigger disk and 
transferring all the user files, mail system, web pages etc, to the new

Automatic upgrades stalls on the last kernel release

2014-07-28 Thread Paul Lewis

I seem to have a problem with automatic updates on my system. The AU 
system has been unable to function normally for some time and I now 
have something like 61 updates waiting in the queue.


When I try to process the updates, it seems to choke on the Linux 3.2 
for 64 bit PCs entry,  which is linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64-3.2.60-1
+deb7u1 (64bit)

reported as 23.4MBs.

The error is Failed to process request. and more details are 
-

'cannot copy extracted data for '.lib/modules/3.2.0-4amd64/kernel/
drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt61pci.ko' to '/lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/
kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt61pci.ko.dpkg-new'.

If I manually copy the file and rerun the update, it just produces a 
similar error message with a different file name.

df returns the following;
test:# df

Can I purge all the update queue and try to update the kernel on its 
own then the remaining updates.

 The confusion was - and is - how do I separate my rather elementary

 sophisticated users so as to get an answer I can understand without
 irritating them and wasting their time?

Some feedback to those folk who have already tried to assist you may 
have been useful.

So, to my suggestion; Why don't you try the network install. You could 
have said, ' No, I don't want to do that, because I really want to 
understand why the DVD driver isn't being recognised.

OR, 'I tried that, but the same thing happens with the net install.'

OR. 'Yes, I tried that and the net install worked flawlessly, thanks 
I'm now a happy Debian user.'


 
 I'm happy to drop this now, as it certainly hasn't worked for me, and
 look elsewhere for answers.
 

Hmm.

Hi Josh,

It sounds to me as if the ISO isn't loading the correct CD/DVD driver

Given that you have downloaded three ISO images, I presume using the

In the past, I have been more than satisfied with the performance of 
the Debian netinstal procedure, details which you should be able to

I suggest you try it.

SANE - trying to get an LIDE 110 working in Debian Squeeze.

2013-07-02 Thread Paul Lewis
The scanner is recognised by lsusb

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04a9:1909 Canon, Inc. CanoScan LiDE 110

However 'Scanimage -L' returns:

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

According to the SANE website the Lide is supported by SANE.

CanoScan LiDE 110 -- USB0x04a9/0x1909 -- Complete   
GL124 based, resolution from 75 to 2400 dpi -- genesys
(1.0-62)-- sane-genesys

However for this scanner SANE stipulates 1.0.62 backend but it seems 
squeeze has 1.0.61 bundled is there an apt repository that provides 
1.0.62 or .63?

Don't worry about it, Lisi.

Good to know it can work. I bought this one because SANE advises it 
does work, in fact it's been on the fully functioning SANE list for 
ages, which I think correlates to your experience of it working for 
some time on Squeeze.

So I had hopes that it would work directly it was plugged in.

Upgrading to an SSD

2012-04-20 Thread Paul Lewis
I like to try out one of the newish Solid State drives. What has 
prompted this is that my machine has started to complain about low disk 
space on /root.

Using disk analyser I can see there is loads of free disk space.

This is a 250GB drive but only 22GB is actually being used. Suggesting 
to me that I could easily shoehorn my whole operating system (including 
home partition ) into one of the cheapish 64GB ss drives.

I'd like to convert my existing hard drive to hold media from the TTV 
reciever and perhaps reinstall MythTV absent for a year or so.

Here is my concern. When I installed this system I elected to encrypt 
the drive and use lvm.

1. I'd like to avoid 'root' full errors in future.

2. Assuming I have my SSD installed and formatted, what would be the 
best, simplest and most trouble free process to move everything from my 
existing hard drive to the new SSD?

 Is your root partition on the LVM? 

I think it is, running LVM and selecting logical view it looks as if 
root is /dev/kingston/root.

In the physical view root is described as linear mapping 83 extents.


 If not, you might want to consider making a new LV (perhaps 
 shrinking one of your other partitions and reclaiming some of that 
 200GB free space) for root.

To address my immediate problem of low disk space on root and given 
that root does appear to be on the lvm, I could do that now?

For example, shrink /home and reallocate the freed space to /root?


 You could then boot into a LiveCD, rsync from the old root 
 partition to the new partition and then update bootloader, fstab 
 etc. Et Voila, you're booting from root on LVM. Next time root gets 
 full, add a few extents to it.
 
  
  2. Assuming I have my SSD installed and formatted, what would be 
  the best, simplest and most trouble free process to move 
  everything from my existing hard drive to the new SSD?
 
 You might be able to do this online by creating a PV on the SSD, add
 it to your VG and then use pvmove to migrate LVs between the 
 disks.
 
 

Would it be a problem if the new SSD is much smaller than the original 
HD?  

Thanks

 Tape slow? Depends on your budget I guess and needs I guess. DLT is

 I still use tape (DDS-4) for a couple of SGI Octanes, bang for bucks

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password: YES)


 I wonder if there is a password defined before you set the root
 password in mysql yourself? I think not. Try connecting without th -p
 switch.



Any idea or clues about how to solve this issue?

Thanks,
Bernard



 Otherwise, have a look here.

Lenny - window manager seems to have died.

2009-05-25 Thread Paul Lewis
I have a dual core AMD64 with a fairly fresh install of Lenny, just the 
last couple of days I have noticed my window controls have disappeared. 
I have tried to reload metacity, which I think is the default window 
manager for Debian Lenny, but nothing happens.

However if I load another wm, #icewm --replace 

Then I get my window controls back but only until I log out, log back 
in and now window controls again.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling metacity, if I try to reload it, I 
get a cryptic error message:

Window manager warning: 0 stored in GConf key /desktop/gnome/
peripherals/mouse/cursor_size is not a reasonable cursor_size; must be 
in the range 1 .. 128

Anyone suggest what I can do to sort the problem?

Thanks

Am I correct to assume this is a PCMCIA card? If so what happens if you

Trying to get iiNet DSL working on my Debian box

Very confused as to whats happening. I've googled the error, a few
others have posted about it, but there are 0 replies.
Most sites just say, install Roaring Penguin, install, run adsl-setup
and then adsl-start. And it will work.
Any assistance in this matter would be HUGELY appreciated.

SNIP
Latest version of Roaring Penguin
DLink DSL-300 modem
2.4.18 kernel
From the DLINK site on the DSL-300

The D-Link DSL-300 is an external ADSL modem that provides a single 
10Mbps Ethernet port. With a windows based configuration tool, the 
DSL-300 allows users to easily modify settings to connect via G.lite or 
G.dmt ADSL depending on their DSL provider. The DSL-300 is capable of 
providing high speed Internet access and/or remote connection to an 
office LAN.

Firstly, I don't think you can configure your modem using the asdl 
utilities provided by linux. I think since this is an ethernet modem, 
it needs to be configured across the ethernet. The thing that concerns 
me is that the description says windows based configuration tool. 
Does the manual tell you what ip addresses the modem defaults to on 
your internal lan? Probably you should set your PC ethernet card to 
DCHP?

If you know the ip address of the modem on your internal network, you 
might be able to telnet into it from your pc and configure if through 
the telnet interface.

Try telnet ipaddress of DSL-300

Actually in the on line manual it tells you that the configuration 
password is 'Admin', which seems to be accessable through the serial 
port using hyperterm! Once you have it linked up through the serial 
port it will tell you the ip address of the modem, through the serial 
configuration port.

Suggest you read the manual some more.

Regards

Re: usb-scanner detected, but nothing about usb in /dev

2003-01-15 Thread Paul Lewis
Have you got your scanner working yet?

I have just managed to get my HP scanner working within the last hour. 
The only serious thing I needed to do was edit two files in /etc/sane.d

The first was dll.conf where I rem'd out all the entries except net and 
hp
the second was hp.conf where I made a minor change for it to read

/dev/usb/scanner0
option connect-device

Checking first that there was a scanner0 in /dev/usb, which there was.

That was it - then xscanimage worked a treat. Sane-find-scanner gave 
similar errors to those you experienced.

Re: Simple xawtv question ...

NTSC (Never the same colour twice  :-o ) is the method of encoding the

standard, and SECAM is the French standard. Those countries which have 
been unfortunate to fall under the influence of one or other of the

Re: console messages flit by too fast

You will answer oh, mtab, don't worry about that.

You will answer: that is the fault of whatever package author for also
not logging his message to syslog.  But that isn't helping me: what

Isn't there something that I can turn on to capture all these, or are
we too early in the startup?

Am I supposed to boot my system thru some remote terminal like the

have 1 equipment and am not into learning something fancy.

Perhaps all the stupid questions I post about why I can't enter the

I hit ALT CTRL F1 etc. but I don't suppose those `man console(4)` tty

In a rare moment of foresight, I kept the previous kernel and labeled

One of the things that changed between 2.2 and 2.4 kernels was IP 
chains transmogrified into IPtables. Perhaps your natting scripts no 
longer work with the 2.4 kernel?

You might need to go to the netfilter site (http://www.iptables.org/) 
to get the latest version of IPtables.

In a bind about named and network printing.

2002-12-03 Thread Paul Lewis
I have been playing with my local networks 'named' and finally got it 
working more or less the way I think it should. Evidence for this is 
that I can ping local machine name and it returns the fully qualified 
machine name plus the ping responces. This works on all machines except 
the server 'named' is actually running on. Where the ping goes off 
along the cable modem never to resolve (my network is strictly a local 
affair). So far so good.

What is really causing me to scratch my head is that suddenly ( at the 
same time ) the printer located on my server (the same server which 
runs named) no longer works for print jobs across the network. The 
print jobs are all queued on my debian machine but never get printed on 
my redhat server.

I am pretty sure it is related to my tinkerings but just can't see 
where the problem lies. Any suggestions?

The 127.0.0.1 will cause your server to query itself first, then, if

Thanks to all three of you (Stephen, Alan and Gary), this reply seemed 
the easiest to try and it looks like it worked. After some addional 
spice thrown in by my dsl modem. Leastwise everything seems to be 
functioning normally now. My resolve file looks similar to this now 
except I did not include the domain. The docs, such as I have read them 
suggested they are incompatible together.

You'll have to look at the bind docs to see how to set up your bind
server to forward requests for external IPs to your ISPs
nameservers. In Bind 4 (my server ran OpenBSD), after you defined your
local zones in named.boot you put:

	forwarders  10.x.x.x 10.x.x.x
	options forward-only

replacing the two 10.x.x.x addresses with your ISPs nameserver
IP addresses


According to the HOW-TO is am working from the correct format for my 
named.conf is

forwarders first;
forwarders {
numeric ip ns1;
numeric ip ns2;
};



 I am pretty sure it is related to my tinkerings but just can't see

Fix the first prob, then the second may disappear. If not you can ask

You might try /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config or xf86cfg and walk through the

And I do not have a NCR53c406a nor a sym53c416 or a WD-7000 SCSI card


scsi: fdomain Detection failed (no card)
NCR53c406a: no available ports found
sym53c416.c: Version 1.0.0
Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card!
IBM MCA SCSI: Version 3.2
IBM MCA SCSI: No Microchannel-bus present -- Aborting.
   This machine does not have any IBM MCA-bus
   or the MCA-Kernel-support is not enabled!

It is not a MCA machine either.

megaraid: v1.11 (Aug 23, 2000)
aec671x_detect: 3ware Storage Controller device driver for Linux 
v1.02.00.008.
3w-: tw_findcards(): No cards found.

And no megaraid aec671x unless it is built into the mother board - 
either way I do not use it.

mtrr: no MTRR for d178,4 found
mtrr: no MTRR for d17c,2 found

And I would love to know what mtrr: no mtrr for.. etc etc means and 
how to supress it?

TIA

Woody and miscellaneous issues

2002-10-05 Thread Paul Lewis

Hi,

I have just installed Woody, and I have a few issues I would 
like to resolve. The first is my first is my printer is on another 
machine, where/what is the utility on Debian that allows me to setup 
the print queues?

Next, on my old machine I was able to access a remote drive 
(NFS) on a redhat machine, how can I get this working again before 
upgrading to Woody I backed up my files to the server, I would like to 
get them back onto this machine.

Then when I installed Woody it put the 2.2 kernel on the 
system. I had previously been running the 2.4.9 kernel. How do I 
upgrade the kernel on Woody?

Thanks
