Re: modprobe vboxdrv failed (virtualbox-ose 3.1.2-dfsg-1+b1)

  Greetings,
 
  This means that your vboxdrv module is not compiled for your
  current kernel version, so you will have to use module-assistant to
  fix that.
 
 It sounds as if dkms hasn't been installed. There is a reference
 somewhere on the VirtualBox web site.

You could be wrong, because I had exactly the same problem. After a 
kernel update (from ..-n to ..-n+1 - I don't know the exact versions) 
the module would not load anymore. I guess it's a bug in either the 
kernel package, in not raising the right version number (i.e. new 
package name), or in dkms for not updating the modules. However the 
problem solved itself after the next kernel update.

Re: copying files from home directory on one machine to directory on another machine

 Sure.  If you're in the mood to learn about every possibility...
 
 You might also consider NFS:  [...]

Okay, if every possibility is what you want to learn you cannot miss the 
excellent combination of nc and cpio:

On your target (bob):
% cd targetdir
% nc -l -p 6060 alice | cpio -iv

On your source (alice):
% cp sourcedir
% find -print0 | cpio -ov0 | nc bob 6060

nc is short for netcat, it will listen on bob (-l) on port 6060 (-p 
6060) for alice. The input comes from bob, who is sending the message 
via nc. In short it's like a pipe over the network (unencrypted, use 
cryptcat if your network is not trustworthy). cpio (copy in / copy out) 
does the actual data transfer. On bob the mode is copy in (-i) and on  
alice it's copy out (-o). To see what's being transferred you can use (-
v). Finally, you can use find (-print0 / -0) to pipe the names of files 
to be transferred to cpio.

Have fun ;-)

Re: Installing Debian using USB Key

 wget

Did you unmount your USB stick first and did you substitute sdX with the 
right device file? If not zcat boot.img.gz  /dev/sdX just creates the 
file sdX and copies the unpacked boot.img.gz to it.

You can find out which device you are using by calling mount from 
command line and without any arguments after mounting your usb stick 
like always. You should see something like 

/dev/sdf1 on /media/KINGSTON type ext3

where /dev/sdf would be the device of your usb stick.

It is important to unmount your usb stick before writing to it via the 
device file directly, else your data will get corrupted.

Then you will have to mount your stick again, then copy your netinst.iso 
to it. Note that your stick might no longer be called KINGSTON now.

 wget
  http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.3/amd64/iso-cd/debian-503-am
 d64-netinst.iso
 cp debian-503-amd64-netinst.iso /media/KINGSTON

Installing a new mbr should not be necessary, but if you do unmout your 
stick before doing it.

 sudo install-mbr /dev/sdX

You will have to edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux if you do not want your 
changes in /boot/grub/grub.cfg to be overwritten on every run of
update-grub.

Alternatively, you can edit the line 

  GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2 /dev/null || echo Debian`

in /etc/default/grub to something like 

  GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=Foo Bar

That will result in a menu entry that looks like 

Foo Bar GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30-1-686

But you could have found that out by yourself by simply reading 
/etc/grub.d/10_linux.

By doing that you can find out if it is a kernel bug or a bug in the 
nvidia driver and if it is a kernel bug you can report it to the lkml. 
If not you can report it to nvidia.

Re: Inconsistency with Debian 5 and adding printers

2009-09-17 Thread Florian Kriener
On Thursday 17 September 2009 06:31:36 Bret Busby wrote:
 I have a Samsung CLP300 colour laser printer.
 
 When I connected it to my laptop, in each of both Ubuntu 8.04 and
 Debian 5, which was installed as a clean install, the printer was
 automatically installed and set up (I didn't have to do anything - it
 just appeared as an installed printer, ready to use).
 
 When I connected the printer to this desktop computer, the same
  happened with the Ubuntu 8.04 installation.
 
 When the printer was connected to this desktop and the desktop was
 running Debian 4, the printer (apparently) could not be installed.
 
 So (and, for other reasons), I yesterday upgraded the Debian
 installation on this computer, to Debian 5, following the Release
  Notes instructions. The only problem of which I was aware, in the
  upgrade, that was encountered, was the loss of the graphics adaptor
  driver, and thence XWindows, which was subsequently, easily (after I
  was advised of the solution), ovbercome.
 
 But, I cannot install the printer driver on this Debian 5
  installation.
 
 The printer was not automatically installed and set up, ready to go,
  as it was with the clean installation of Debian 5 on the laptop.
 
 In trying to manually install the printer, using the foomatic-gui
 application, that application detects the printer, and, goes through
 the (apparent) process of installing the printer, but, at the end of
 that process, when it should have successfully completed, the printer
  is not added as an installed printer. I have tried adding the
  printer, via the foomatic-gui application, using both the splix and
  the foo2qpdl driver options, and, until the final screen appears,
  that lists the installed printers, shows that the printer is not
  installed, it all seems to be going okay.
 
 I have also tried to add the printer to the installed printers, using
 the System - Administration - Printing - Add Printer facility,
  but, whilst that detects the printer, the printer driver is not
  listed as an available printer driver, to select.
 
 Why is it, that a clean install of Debian 5, automatically installs
  and sets up the printer, ready for use, like Ubuntu 8.04, but, a
  Debian 5 installation that is done as an upgrade from Debian 4,
  still disallows the printer from being installed.
 
 Can this be overcome?
 
 At present, I have to revert to doing what I was doing before
  upgrading the Debian installtion on the desktop, to Debian 5; if I
  want to print, using the CLP-300, I have to reboot into Ubuntu 8.04,
  as the Debian installation again does not allow the use of the
  printer.
 
 It is frustrationg, that a Debian 5 installation, that is done by
 upgrading from Debian 4, is so different to a Debian 5 installation
  that is done as a clean install, meaning that a Debian 5
  installation that is done as an upgrade from Debian 4, is more of a
  combination of Debian 4 and 5 (like a system that is a combination
  of stable, testing and unstable), than a Debian 5 system, and is
  thus, not truly Debian 5.
 
 I had intended to add other new printers, including a Samsung
 multi-funtion thingy, to my desktop computer, but it appears that a
 Debian 5 installation that is an upgrade from Debian 4, does not work
 for adding printers, anywhere as well as a Debian 5 installation that
  is done as a clean install, so making it apparently, too much
  trouble.

Responsible for printing is CUPS. Please check if you have it installed 
and all packages containing CUPS, that your other machine has installed. 
You can get that list with `aptitude ~icups`.

That is quite unusual. Usually aptitude should have been killed too. Did 
you, by chance, use screen? That would be quite good, because you could 
simply reattach. Please try `screen -ls` and `screen -rd` if you used 
screen. If not, use screen now.

However, if you did not use screen you probably don't have another

inconsistencies, since you already have them now. Just kill it and try

If you just send a SIGTERM it should even die gracefully. If that does 
not work send a SIGKILL.

This is either a bug or a memory fault. Is the backtrace the same when 
it crashes? What does the log say something before the backtrace? How 
does your xorg.conf look? Do you have composite activated? Did you try 
to run memtest? Did you install the debian driver package or the one

 [...]

 _The_ _problem_ :
 
 The selection of the eth0 interface, into which the DSL cable coming
 from the router is plugged does not take place. The system
 “automatically” chooses usb0, which is not wired – unless I interfere
 manually.
 
 
 _Description_ _of_ _facts_ :
 
 During booting, everything seems to go fine: I can read (as I always
 read under etch, which is still on my desktop) the following:
 DHCPOFFER from xxx.xxx.x.xxx
 DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
 DHCPACK from xxx.xxx.x.xxx
 bound to xxx(IP address of the right interface, eth0)xxx - renewal

Looks good. You should be able to ping at least xxx.xxx.x.xxx (DHCPACK 
from ...).
 
 And then, I don't know why, once the booting process is over and I
  log in, everything goes wrong...
 
 - Under KDE:
 Situation # 1
 KNetworkConf (in KDE ConfigCentre – Network parameters) does show
  eth0 _alone_ , but it is not given any IP address (although DHCP is
  the preselectioned IP detection mode); nothing changes before
  detection is restarted by deactivating then reactivating the
  interface in this module. Situation #2
 knetworkmanager, the applet I installed to ease connection and
 deconnection to the network, is as much “confused”; after KDE starts
  it “runs empty” can't/won't connect to any interface for about 20
  seconds, to finally systematically choose the wrong one: “usb0”

I don't know that tool and I would not trust it. But did you by chance 
install the network-manager? dpkg -l network-manager will tell you.

 - Under command line:
 if I go to the command line with tty1 -- log in -- turn to root --
  to enter instruction ifconfig -a , in the first 20 seconds I get
  this:

That IP is probably just fine and a zeroconf address (rfc3927), most 
definitely from avahi-autoipd and does not harm nor help. However, it's 
quite strange that your eth0 does not have an ip address.

 This confirms what I see under KDE:
 something (what?) makes the system (which element, routine, module,
 programme, package?) choose the wrong interface “usb0”.
 
 How to solve this problem? This is the whole headache here!
 
 My other problem is, I don't really know which other tests to carry

  routine or module or else... - before thinking of filling any bug
  report for a particular package...

Please check if you have network-manager installed. You could also try 
`ip addr` and the like.

Please take a look into the cryptsetup manpage to find the following:

Re: [semi-OT] How to echo \\ in dash

On Friday 28 August 2009 15:54:50 Johannes Wiedersich wrote:
 In an effort to write my scripts in a posix conform way, I try to use
 dash instead of bash. One issue I don't understand:

 Why does 'echo ' behave different for bash and dash?

 It's a bit confusing that one cannot echo two \\ to another file.

 15:46:25-johan...@e13-v21:~$ dash
 $ echo \\
 \
 $ echo 
 \

 15:46:25-johan...@e13-v21:~$ bash
 ech15:46:29-johan...@e13-v21:~$ echo 
 \\
 15:46:32-johan...@e13-v21:~$ echo \\

That happens because the arguments are subject to command expansion 
before there are given to the echo command and are then interpreted 
there again. Which means, that  would be the correct way to specify 
a single \. Just try echo \\n and echo n.

Now why does behave bash differently? Easy, because echo in dash always 
does what echo -e does in bash. Maybe you should use printf instead.

There is a Plasmoid for that purpose that you can put in your panel. 
Furthermore, if you only want to see your widgets, you can utilize your

 machine of mine it exists and works, but I can't find how to install
 it on debian...

I just checked and it's here, having installed kde-full.

BTW: please don't cc me or I'll get all your mails twice.

Re: what does this udev message mean?

 udev: deprecated sysfs layout; update the kernel or disable

 The interesting thing about this message on boot up on my system is
 that it isn't being caught by dmesg.  That is when I do dmesg
 dmesg.log and examine the log file, this message does not appear in
 that file though I hear it as speakup boots the system.  I managed to
 snag it with speakup's clipboard feature.

That message probably means, that you run an older kernel with a newer 
udev. You should think about updating your kernel. What kernel are you 
running anyway? and which udev version?

And that message is not in dmesg, because it is not from the kernel but 
from the userland. Check /var/log/syslog for such messages.

 Anyone knows how to set non-English fonts in Yakuake? (I'm using

Re: Error loading operating system

 I just installed Lenny on a new SATA disk in my AMD64 system (4 Gig of

 my accounts.  Installed grub to boot the system then the big reboot,
 and

 Error loading operating system

 no grub menu.  Black screen with white letters 80 X 25 mode.

 Any idea what may have messed up and how to get the system booting?

If I understand you correctly you have at least two disks in your system 
and one of them is a PATA drive and the other is a SATA drive. This could 
lead to some confusion for the boot loader, because the order in which the 
drives are set up by the BIOS may differ from what your boot loader thinks 
it is (meaning the mapping from (hdX) to /dev/[hs]dY might be wrong). For 
this you got the /boot/grub/device.map file. Please make sure, that the 
entries in that file are correct. Additionally you have to make sure you 
install your boot loader in the first hard disk (as seen from your BIOS).

What you can do now is to unplug all but one hard disk and try to boot and 
see if your error persists. I would suggest to unplug your SATA drive 
first. If you cannot boot into etch your SATA drive is most probably the 
first drive and you installed grub to your PATA drive. If you can boot 
into etch your SATA drive is still the first one, but you installed grub 
to your SATA drive and have a bad device.map file, or did not install grub 
at all. And so on.

Next would be to fix your boot loader by booting into a rescue system, 
chrooting into your file systems, fixing your device.map and installing 
your boot loader again (grub-install /dev/[hs]da).

Re: : Grub2 made my systeum unbootable

On Tuesday 21 July 2009 19:16:34 Anthony Campbell wrote:
  Don't remember now about the boot message from grub, need to look, but if
  it says grub instead of grub 2 in may be that the files installed are
  from grub2 but the boot sector itself is grub ...

 I think this may be what happened. The first time I booted after the
 change to grub2 it was OK, but there was a message at the top saying I
 could or should do update-grub--- something or other to install it in
 the boot sector. I did that and then the problem appeared. I'm trying
 to find a way back but I fear the worst.

Don't worry, it's just the boot manager. My guess would be, that Grub 2 is not 
installed in the MBR, but Grub 1. And after running update-grub you removed 
all Grub 1 modules and replaced them with Grub 2 modules. This indeed tends to 
break the boot manager.

Since you said you have a rescue system at hand it should be quite easy to 
bring your system back up. First boot into your rescue system, mount your file 
systems to /target or whatever, bind mount /dev and /proc into it (just for 
reference: mount -o bind /dev /target/dev) too and chroot into it (chroot 
/target bash -i, or the like). Then run grub-install /dev/sda (or whatever 
discs MBR you want to install it to) and update-grub. Check that device.map is 
correct (if not correct it and rerun grub-install and update-grub). Check 
grub.cfg too, just to be sure and reboot.

Feel free to ask again, if this did not work. It might be that I forgot 
something.

 Super Tip, den Schalter habe ich in der Doku zu netstat wohl völlig 
 übersehen. Danke

 das liegt wohl am namen: ip = internet protokoll
 Hmm, das heißt, dass netstat die Verbindungen nach der Art der 
 Protokolls einordnet, richtig?

ja fast, protokoll familie ist wohl das wort das du suchst. oder auch
low level protokoll. (man netstat)

 Hallo,

hallo,
 
 ich plane einen preiswerten Tintenstrahldrucker zu kaufen um ab und an
 mal ein paar Blatt Text zu drucken und vielleicht auch mal ein Bildchen.

 Nun bin ich schon einige unterstüzte Hardwarelisten durchgegangen, kann
 aber die in den Läden angebotenen Drucker nicht finden, kann mir
 vielleicht jemand einen Tip geben ob und wenn ja welcher Drucker bis 100
 EUR unter Linux funktioniert.

hast du schon www.linuxprinting.org gecheckt?

 Jedenfalls scheint es sich ja -glücklicherweise- um lokale Verbindungen

 Ja, manchmal bin ich (nur ein bißchen) paranoid :-), hängt auch damit 
 zusammen, dass ich nicht genau weiß was über die angegebenen Ports 
 abgewickelt wird!
 Ich habe dazu nichts in der Datei etc/services  gefunden.
 
 Warum werden die beiden Verbindungen eigentlich als Aktive 
 Internetverbindungen bezeichnet!?  Es handelt sich doch um lokale 
 Verbindungen auf der Basis von tcp und udp, oder bin ich da etwa auf 
 dem Holzweg!?

 Teste mit exim -d9 -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED], was genau beim
 Zustellen an diese Adresse scheitert.

auch danach hab ich keine plan warum, ich weiß nur, dass es geht wenn
ich an real-leflo schicke. hab einfach einen alias gesetzt: leflo -
real-leflo, jetzt tuts.
exim konnte im übrigen an niemanden senden, ganz komisch. nur an die

aber es funktioniert ja, was will ich mehr.

na ja, auf jeden fall danke für deine hilfe.

exim

2002-09-11 Thread florian kriener

hallo, ich bins wieder!

erstmal danke für eure hilfe:
mein isdnsystem scheint wieder zu funktionieren dank
kernel.printk=1 4 1 7, zumindestens hats bisher immer wieder getan.
alsa funzt auch, die maus hat die richtige geschwindigkeit und mein
neuer edito heist nano und manchmal auch joe.

jetzt hab ich aber wieder ein problem:
ich hab exim als satelietensystem eingerichtet und alle
einstellungen nach bestem wissen und gewissen gemacht. (so wie in susi
damals). nur funktonieren bei mir jetzt zwei sachen nicht und zwei nur
komisch:
1. lokale mailzustellung
2. nicht-lokale mailzustellung (werden eingefroren)
3.+4. mailq bzw. exim -bp dauert ungefähr eine minute bis ich sehe was
im que (nein, ich weiß nicht wie mans schreibt...) ist.

danke nochmal im voraus für eure hilfe...

gruß, flo.

alsa; mausgeschwindigkeit; editor

2002-09-10 Thread florian kriener

hallo,
ich hab gleich mal drei fragen:

1. was könnt ihr mir noch für text-editroen empfehlen? ich habe bisher
immer vim benutzt, nur hab ich gestern gemerkt, dass mich dieses ewige
an und ausschalten des bearbeiten modus nervt. - dann hab ich emacs
probiert, nur bringt mir der nicht viel. das ist in etwa so, als wenn
ich von einem schweizer taschenmesser nur die pinzette benutzen würde.

2. wie kann ich die mausgeschwindigkeit unter x ändern

3. wie kriege ich meine soundkarte zum laufen. ich hab eine via8233
northbrige. also müsste eigendlich mit dem via8233 treiber zu
überreden sein. geht aber trozdem nicht.
- welche kernel optionen muss ich genau einstellen, damits das tut?
- wems hilft: mein board ist ein msi ms-6380...

danke schon mal...

verhaltensgestrtes isdnsystem

2002-09-10 Thread florian kriener

hallo leute,
ich hab was schreckliches festgestellt, mein isdnsystem spinnt. und
zwar vollständig.

1. das was eigendlich in die logdateien und ins syslog gehört kommt
auf die konsole auf der ich gerade arbeite. (besonders schön beim
editieren von irgendwelchen dateien) ich habe isdnlog im verdacht.
   - isdn_net: connection irgendwas, oder
   - NETDEV WATCHDOG: was-weiß-ich-nich
aber immer isdn bezogen...
- es liegt _nicht_ an der syslog.conf


2. ich kann nur manchmal verbinden, sonst kann es passieren, dass mir
mein isdn system sagt, ich dürfe nicht verbinden weil mein dialmode
nicht auto ist. - ich will aber nicht auto, ich will manual! -
außerdem ging es vorher und unter susi und manchmal auch!

freu mich schon auf eure antworten, bin nämlich kurz davor meine
tastatur gegen meinen monitor zu hauen.

[btw: ich sende diese mail von windoof weil mich linux ja quasi
eingespert hat, *grrr*. glaub ich werd diesem pinguin mal manieren
beibringen müssen.]

 Afaik braust Du bf2.4. Ich weiß nur nicht mehr, ob er das von Haus

 Ich stelle mir auch gerade diese Fragen, und falls was falsch an
