Re: changing sound parameter on startup

I've seen indications I should put something in rcS.d/, but also some things saying stuff there gets executed at every run level change. Also, I'm not sure where in the sequence it needs to be. Longer version: The underlying issue is that I've been having problems with sound under mythtv. Hardware: Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) on a Pentium 4. When myth starts it was complaining that I had a buffer too small and that its attempts to reset it with the above command failed. After disabling sound on KDE I was able to resize the buffer. I'm still having sound problems, though I think not quite as frequently as before. One solution would be to resolve the permission problem. There are a lot of things I can think of that might be relevant to either the permission issue or the buffer size issue: udev, module parameters (e.g., /etc/modutils.d/), sysctl.conf (but I think that's only for /proc/sysfs), maybe some other alsa-specific place. So I'd appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thanks. Ross Boylan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Performance of Linux IP Aliased Network Interfaces
Hi! I put together a setup to measure the performance of IP aliasing in Linux. (See related blog post[1].) The problem is, observed throughput increases as the number of aliases increase. Despite this problem does not specifically related with Debian, I hope to find some answers here. Any helps will be really appreciated. Best.

You say that wlan2 doesn't work manually, but with nm. Did I get it
right? If so, that's pretty strange.
Oh, and I forgot to say in the previous mail: Turn everything fiddling
with the wifi interfaces off, that is, nm, hostapd, etc., before trying
any manual method.
Now check the wpa_supplicant debug outputs. Moreover, if you can see a
valid mac addr in the Access Point field of the iwconfig wlan0
output, Wi-Fi assoc is ok and you're struggling with the encryption
part.
iwconfig shows no MAC on both cards :-/
Here are my other 2cents.
- Are you able to connect to an AP, where encryption is turned off?
(Hence, no wpa needed.) Again, try this manually. That is,
--8---cut here---start-8---
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSID chan CHANNEL ap MACADDR
# iwconfig wlan0
# dhclient wlan0
--8---cut here---end---8---
What does last iwconfig wlan0 output?
- Did you try updating the firmware files?
Best.

In the eth0 section the netmask 255.255.255.240 together with the ip-address of 10.10.98.100 automaticaly defines the network and broadcast address you give in the next lines. You can leave them out. They are added by the Debian installer, not me. But yep, you are right. A gateway statement means: send ANYTHING for which there is no specific route in the routing table to this address which can be reached via this interface. There is usualy just one gateway statement in the entire interfaces file unless one wants to do multiple gateway routing, which is usualy done with the more flexible and sophosticate ip statement. So the gateway statement in the eth1 section is what causes the problem. You do NOT want the gateway statement there as that is NOT the address to send all unspecified traffic to, that is what you want the eth0 interface to use the 10.10.98.110 address for. The address and netmask statement together define which network is behind the eth1 interface and which traffic should be send to the network behind that interface. In this case that will automaticaly be all trafic for 192.168.100.0/24, that is all trafic for 192.168.100.* So you mean that, via a configuration as follows --8---cut here---start-8--- auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.10.98.100 netmask 255.255.255.240 gateway 10.10.98.110 dns-nameservers 10.10.10.11 10.10.10.12 dns-search ozun.int auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.100.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 --8---cut here---end---8--- all of my 192.168.100.0/24 traffic will be routed through eth1.

You also have some dns lines in that interfaces file. As far as I know that is not alowed and those lines should be in the /etc/resolv.conf file. Yep, /etc/resolv.conf solves the issue in a static manner, but the dns-* parameters I used in interfaces(8) are provided by the resolvconf package.

Neither iwconfig wlan0 rate 0 has any effect. (Moreover, in iwconfig manual it is told that values below 1000 are card specific and are usually an index in the bit-rate list.)

That means that it only has the time between the execution of the iptables command at the end of the loop and the execution of the iptables command at the beginning of the loop to actually transmit any packets. It is unsurprising that it hangs. Make sure you sleep for a while after removing the iptables rule. Indeed, sleeping more than I want is what I try to avoid.

Re: Opinions about Laptop and Debian - Nvidia vs Radeon
Hi Ivan, I have a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series VGA controller. It's binary drivers are miserably useless. (Even scrolling in Firefox lags.) Hence, I couldn't find motivation to test its 3D capabilities. Its open source drivers bundled with some recent kernel version are way much better. (At least no lags while scrolling, switching desktops, and streaming output to terminal, etc.) And, as you know, both ATI drivers lack DGA support. This results in xawtv not working and poor mplayer quality/performance. Moreover, when you plug in an external display while X is open, notebook screen gets fuzzy (impossible to see anything) and you just see the screen from the external display. And when you unplug the external display, you need to restart the linux (not X!) to get your settings back to normal. (I experienced same for both F/OSS and binary drivers.) OTOH, my previous Lenovo 3000 N200 notebook with nvidia VGA was superior to my current ATI setup. I have never needed to use 3D in GNU/Linux, but I quite often use an external display. And, nvidia-settings tool provided by the binary nvidia drivers was an awesome swiss army knife for me. It just works, you know, it just works. You get the feeling that you have complete control over your VGA controller. Regards.

The Nvidia cards with the binary installer so far has satisfied my needs of 3D and performance (both with a GTS 9300M and a GTX 260 on a desktop), but there are some threads complaining about the binary driver and this card, mainly about the battery performance. It seems that the Radeon, both the binary and the open driver are working/getting better, but I still remember the times with the FGLRX hell. The support for the rest of the hardware seems to be not optimal, and even if I'm usually compile my own kernels, the closest to the Debian way the better - or the easiest the better, as with the Nvidia binary installer.

Re: Problems configuring wireless with wicd on amd64 lenny
Hi,
wicd just parses the outputs of ifconfig/iwconfig/iwlist/wpa_supplicant
commands. Maybe manually executing this sequence may help you to spot
the problem. Here it goes:
# ifconfig wlan0 up
Now, you should be able to see the available list accessible APs:
# iwlist wlan0 scan
If everything is ok so far, proceed to next.
# iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSID
Than create an entry in your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
file. Take mine as an example:
# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
...
network={
ssid=ESSID
psk=PASSPHRASE
}
Now cross your fingers and hope wpa_supplicant do the rest:
# wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0 -d
The debugging output should tell you more. Inform us about the progress,
maybe we can help you further.
Regards.

Re: Size of minimal Debian installation
Hi, Before reading following lines, I want to remind you that official Debian GNU/Linux installation is not optimized for constrained space requirements, where Puppy Linux is. Consider manual pages, lots of automation related scripts all around the place, a full featured libc (consider uclibc), dozens of optional modules added for flexibility to all userbase. (E.g. It is funny that gnupg depends on libusb, etc.) On Sat, 30 Oct 2010, Jason Hsu jhsu802...@jasonhsu.com writes: I have a minimal Debian installation on a 2 GB VirtualBox hard drive. By minimal, I mean the 150 MB Netinstall ISO without any of the packages (not even the base system) I was given the option to install during the initial installation process. And I haven't even added anything yet. When I go to the / directory and type du -s, I get 355960, or nearly 360 MB. I'm using a dynamic (rather than fixed) hard drive, and its size is 601 MB. Try - aptitude clean - Purge removed packages. - Do not select any packages during installation. (Neither Standard System, etc.) - After installation, remove unnecessary packages as well. (For instance, laptop-detect, tasksel, tasksel-data, eject, etc.) - du -sh /* for more clues. How can Debian with nothing added on be almost triple the size of Puppy Linux? I've heard that Debian can be configured to be just as light or even lighter than Puppy Linux. Yes it can. Google would probably help with some keyword adjustments. And do Debian and the host OS show different sizes for my virtual Debian installation? Why is there a 241 MB difference? The error is almost double the size of Puppy Linux. This is due to the previously used space while downloading uncompressing .deb packages. Filesystem is extended to handle new size requirements. After installation, these requirements are possibly disappeared. But filesystem was once extended, and VM just displays its extended size. Try creating a huge file and removing it. VM will still display the max. size of the extended fs and won't be affected by the removal of the same file.

Re: XFS and Power Failures
On Thu, 21 Oct 2010, Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. b...@iguanasuicide.net writes: XFS is the not only file system where power failure can result in a truncated file. Even ext3 can have that issue, though it is less likely. However, if the application follows a certain procedure when re-writing files, it will not lose data on any of these file systems. I suggest that Opera should be fixed to use that procedure. IIRC, this is a slight variation on the old two-phase save that some editors have used for decades, it simply requires a fsync on the temporary file. BTW, a kill -9 is very different from a power failure or a hard reset. In the first case, the application is allowed to do it's own cleanup; the kernel still cleans up after the process -- closing handles to kernel resources, like file descriptors; and queued tasks, like delayed allocation and flushing data to disk, can be run at a later time still. In the later, horrible things happen (e.g. in some systems the HDs and BUS can run for just long enough to complete a DMA transfer AFTER the RAM has lost coherency) and no software gets to run long enough to even detect what is happening, much less put the hardware in a known good state.

manually calling mount/umount as required- or dynamic one -letting udev
to handle the whole mount/umount process-).
Yep, I know, but thanks for the clarification. udev maintainer helped me
to spot the problem: I need to use sh -c 'mount ...' to execute
commands. BTW, enabling /dev/hotplug.log in
/lib/udev/rules.d/80-driver.rules is also quite helpful for debugging
purposes.

Samsung R540 Microphone Problem
Hi, I'm having trouble to get mic working on this damn Samsung R540. I tried using linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 (stable/lenny) and linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.5-686 (backports) with no success. Then I downloaded latest alsa-driver and tried to compile it against linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.5-686, but this time I encountered missing files in linux-headers-2.6.32-bpo.5-common. (Reported the issue to the debian-kernel ml.) Then I downloaded a vanilla linux-2.6.32.5 and followed below steps. 1) Copied config-2.6.32-bpo.5-686 to /usr/src/linux-2.6.32.5/.config. Ran make menuconfig and loaded .config. Later, make oldconfig, make prepare, and make scripts. 2) Issued ./configure \ --with-cards=hda-intel \ --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-2.6.32.5 in /usr/local/src/alsa-driver-1.0.23 and then, make make install followed. 3) Manually copied below files to appropriate locations in /lib/modules/2.6.32-bpo.5-686. /lib/modules/2.6.32.5/misc/ |-- acore | |-- oss | | |-- snd-mixer-oss.ko | | `-- snd-pcm-oss.ko | |-- seq | | |-- oss | | | `-- snd-seq-oss.ko | | |-- snd-seq-device.ko | | |-- snd-seq-midi-event.ko | | `-- snd-seq.ko | |-- snd-hwdep.ko | |-- snd-page-alloc.ko | |-- snd-pcm.ko | |-- snd-timer.ko | `-- snd.ko `-- pci `-- hda |-- snd-hda-codec-analog.ko |-- snd-hda-codec-atihdmi.ko |-- snd-hda-codec-ca0110.ko |-- snd-hda-codec-cirrus.ko |-- snd-hda-codec-cmedia.ko |-- snd-hda-codec-conexant.ko |-- snd-hda-codec-idt.ko |-- snd-hda-codec-intelhdmi.ko |-- snd-hda-codec-nvhdmi.ko |-- snd-hda-codec-realtek.ko |-- snd-hda-codec-si3054.ko |-- snd-hda-codec-via.ko |-- snd-hda-codec.ko `-- snd-hda-intel.ko 4) Issued a depmod -a in /lib/modules/2.6.32-bpo.5-686 and then restarted the system. You see, I tried hard. :F Anyway, my mic still doesn't work. Any ideas? (lspci -vnn is attached.)

The article clearly states the problem was fixed over 3 years ago, which you conveniently ignored. I read the very same sentence, but AFAIK, default kernel for xfs bundled with lenny doesn't have that fix. From now on, please get your facts straight, with proper documentation, before trying to denounce a fantastic piece of FOSS into which many top-of-their-game kernel engineers have put tens of thousands of man hours, striving to make it the best it can be--and are wildly succeeding. Join the xfs mailing list and you might learn something useful in place of this trash you're talking about it. About a year ago, in a similar rush to yours, I ported two of our PostgreSQL database servers to XFS. During testing period, I even couldn't *recover* the / fs after the very first power failure test. Whole testing period took 1 week and the result was negative. This is my experience with XFS, and not much more thrash than your technical knowledge. And instead of being a technology zealot, you'd be better put forward some real world case scenarios. Try unplugging your xfs machineS that many timeS, and let's discuss this topic again. Yep, my findings might be deprecated, but I don't know any others investigating the same subject with recent versions. BTW, I still couldn't understand your temper and rudeness.

Unless you were writing the superblock it'd be almost impossible to hose the filesystem to the point it couldn't mount. Were you doing a resize operation when you pulled the plug? xfs_growfs? As far as recovery, it's automatic upon mounting the XFS filesystem. What do you mean, precisely, by couldn't *recover* the / fs? Vanilla XFS with noatime,notail like basic mount options. The test was simple, I was just typing SELECT 1 from a psql command line (this query shouldn't even hit to disk, it just basically returns 1) and unplugged machine. At boot, I dropped to fsck command line. At command prompt, I manually fiddled around with fsck of xfs to recover the unmounted / filesystem, but had no luck. (I also tried recommendations and informative messages supplied by manpages and command outputs/warnings.) Also if you would Google, it shouldn't be hard to spot similar experiences from other people. At NASA, they might have genius technicians; but, IMHO a majority of the linux users would want a filesystem to recover without a prompt from the user. I'm basically a one man army trying to defeat misinformation WRT XFS and attempt to educate ppl with the correct information. I am glad -users ml have you; and I'd be really, really appreaciated if somebody having experience and knowledge on fs issues can shed some light to our ignorance. I also support the replacement of default fs with something that is much more recent. From this point of view, XFS is a superior alternative. You are totally right with your claims about its advantages over other alternatives. But as you can see, people still complain about XFS's sensitivity to power failures. Assuming a majority of your users aren't behind a UPS, you can sell/ship your product with such a default filesystem choice. But as you said, there are no published concrete benchmarks about this issue. It is all what people claim in the mailing lists. If you would share some of your findings about Power Failures and XFS to convince us, I'm sure most of us will be happy to advocate XFS's this achievement.

Re: Globally map C-m to Return

It is default in rxvt-unicode and vimperator, but i want it to work this way with any X application. I tried xbindkey with 'xdotool key Return', but it is too slow - about 1 sec delay, useless. Maybe it should be solved via WM (xmonad), but anyway i don't know how. Any solution? Try xmodmap. For console (without X) you'll need to fiddle with kbd stuff.

Re: ext2/3 vs xfs for maildir

This maildir will be storing mulitple mail folders and files, some folders containing over 10,000 email files. How about ReiserFS? Despite not being very much actively developed upstream, it is still a very good filesystem, mainly for managing small files. I strongly agree, even in recent ext4 and nilfs benchmarks, reiserfs is generally the winner in many different scenarious. Besides, XFS is very disappointing at power failures and ext2/3 requires huge amounts of rescan time during boot after an unexpected reboot.

Re: BFD ( Brute Force Detection) rules for Debian Lenny.
