Debian 10 (Buster) and Swappiness

[Gustavo - Emar]

Hi,
After upgrading from Debian Stretch to Buster (10), we realize that it is
not managing memory as before.
First, even with Swappiness = 0 and having 32 Ram, (16 Gb using) it starts
using Swap, and the system is slow and crashing.

$ sudo sysctl -a|grep swappiness
vm.swappiness = 0

thanks in advance

Gustavo

Re: System user names, uids, and gids

Well, the package management *does* create users and groups when
packages are installed so I would prefer at least an option to delete
them when the package is purged.


Granted, if nothing is owned by debian-exim anymore, then deleting the
entry will not cause any problems.


Of course I've already checked that.


This gets messy, since the ID number is what matters to the system.
Changing *that* information may very well break things.  It's completely
fixable (i.e. change /etc/group and then find all the files group-owned
by the old GID, and update the ownership).


Of course the file uids/gids have to be changed too, but that's easy
(in single user mode, when no daemons are running using these IDs).
The question is whether Debian expects certain users/groups to have a
fixed value or if I am allowed to change them.

My impression is that uids and gids below 100 are fixed and more are
created dynamically when packages are installed and that the next free


some UIDs are fixed, check /usr/share/doc/base-passwd


number above 100 is chosen.  When some packages only need a user or
only a group, then uids/gids are not incremented in sync.  If this
assumption is true it shouldn't matter which numeric IDs these users
and groups have and it shouldn't cause problems if I change them.  But
I'd like to be sure.


If anything, this is the one thing I wouldn't touch on a system, unless
I was building it from scratch (e.g. LFS) -- a better approach to the
GID/UID mismatch would perhaps be talking to the package maintainers.


Hm, is this something the package maintainer has to deal with or is
pre/post inst scripts call adduser when required 


grep for adduser in /var/lib/dpkg/info/*inst


this a function of the package management system?  I would imagine that
the package management system provides a function "please, find an
unused system uid and gid and create user foo and group foo".  Then
the package management system would need to be changed to give
matching IDs if a package wants a user and a group (probably of the
same name).

Bug when installing texlive in debian 9.3 stretch.

[Gustavo Moitinho Trindade]

OS: debian 9.3 (x86_64)
Cinnamon 3.2.7
Linux kernel: 4.9.0-6-amd64
Processor: Intel Core i303110M @ 2.40Ghz x 2
RAM: 3.7 GB


After installing textlive with:
    $ sudo apt install texlive

dpkg seems to fail configuring a bunch of packages that are tex related.

I tried to fix with
    $ sudo apt --fix-broken install

But I got a similar output, which is bellow:

here (Jessie) it is included in the debconf package, maybe you have only
looked for a separate package?

Debconf python module

[Gustavo Ferreira]

Hi,

I've been reading about debconf internals lately and I've seen some
references to the "debconf python module".

Even the man page for *debconf-devel* mentions it:

"Perl programmers can use the Debconf::Client::ConfModule(3pm) perl module,
and *python programmers can use the debconf python module*."

The problem is, I can't find this module/package, neither in debian
repository nor in Python Package Index (PyPI).

I can develop a new module, it seems pretty straightforward, but I would
like to know what happened to the other module/package. It seems there is
no trace of its existence.

Best Regards,
Gustavo

USB Token with power problem.

[GUSTAVO MARTINELLI]

*Hi, Guys!*

I am trying to use my USB Token on Debian Jessie, but it turns on the
light, and in three seconds, it turns off. So, the USB Token stops working.

I found in the Internet that it can be a power problem. They recommended to
run the following command:


*echo 'on' | tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/power/level*

It changes the value on that file, but the behavior remains the same.

In this way, I ask for help. My Debian informations are below.

instalación de DEBIAN

[gustavo adolfo gutierrez valencia]

Hola. 

 

Hace poco me he comprado una laptop portátil Lenovo con
procesador AMD 8-6410 Con tarjeta grafica integrada Raedon 5, con 16 GB de RAM
y cuatro núcleos. Siempre he tenido la tentación de instalar Debian, y ahora
que tengo un portátil nuevo lo quiero hacer. El sistema operativo es Windows 8.
¿Que indicaciones me podrían dar para instalar Debian como SO único? ¿ Lo 
recomendaría
con estas características de  hadward
dadas arriba? o ¿ recomendarían otro SO de distribución libre o dejar el Windows
8? Muchas gracias. 

 

PD: No soy bueno programando pero quiero y estoy dispuesto aventuriar
si ustedes me dan la indicaciones correctas .

Re: CUPS set-up for the 0.01%

Hi Brian,

Cups is a demanding friend. You can find the path to your printer through
the *lpinfo -m*. After finding the relative path to your printer you can
use the *lpadmin* command to install it. The *lpstat -p* command will show that
the printer is turned on.

A small contribution, perhaps unnecessary. To change the size of a lvs with

Re: Installing Windows with Debian already installed

[Gustavo J Mata]

Hi Hans

The rescue mode of the Debian Live CD has a grub installer. In the end all
I had  to do is give it the device file for the hard disk.

I'm not sure if Windows did appear in the grub menu after reinstalling. But
I ran grub-update and it did show the next time around.

Since the rescue mode is not particularly user-friendly, I will get RIP,
thanks for the hint.

And thanks everybody for the advice!

Re: Wireless connection not working

[Gustavo J Mata]

A few weeks ago I asked for help concerning difficulties with the wireless
connection of a Dell Inspiron 700m. At the time I had to squeeze Debian in
10 Gb of hard disk and 512 Mb of memory.

I've just upgraded the HD to 160 GB and memory to 2 GB. This allowed me to
install a full desktop envinronment. Wifi, configured with Gnome's Network
Manager, is now working like a charm.

Thanks to all for your help!

Thanks,

I'll change the router to WEP and reinstall to see what happens. If it
fails I'll try again with no encryption.

I did install the non-free firmware. I also installed network manager

Wireless connection not working

[Gustavo J Mata]

Hi,  I have installed Debian 6.03 in a Dell Inspiron 700m. My wireless
connection is not working.

I'm using the WCID network manager under the LXDE desktop manager. (I
have 500 Mb of memory and 5.5 GB o disk space).

My Linksys router is configured to use WAP 2 Personal security.

Any hints?

[Gustavo]

Hais.
You could see on your crontab or at jobs if there's anything down there, also 
make sure you don't have any application running like monit which can restart 
mysql.

greetings, just want to make sure which ISO image should I use to install
Debian squeeze on my laptop (compaq presario CQ-50) which use an AMD Semprom
(tm) SI-40 2 Ghz processor?

I ask this because I tried to do it with x-86 architecture, but it kept
presenting some issues.

Saludos, solo quisisera asegurarme qué tipo de imagen ISO debo usar para

Hi all,

 I tried on the apt-get manual. But could not get to my requirement.
 I have some of the packages in my deb box which i do not want to

 How do i specify the exclude list ?


You need to put such packages in 'hold' state, using aptitude or
through the CLI running for example:

echo "package hold" | dpkg --set-selections

To check a package state, run:
dpkg --get-selections package

package is of course the package name. ;)

A standalone Linux player exists, it's on Adobe Labs' site somewhere.

This only works for the youtube.com web site (e.g. not embeds), but
provided you're using a Greasemonkey-or-equivalent enabled web browser,
try this user script:

Youtube-dl[0] is also useful, you can get embedded videos' location
using the "Block" tabs that Adblock Plus creates on Flash embed objects

Rebuilding debian packages

[gustavo halperin]

Hello, apparently the wxWidget packages from Debian are compiled only 
for work with Unicode versions, I really don't agree with this because I 
have a lot of code wrote that doesn't work with Unicode.
Second, this package is also configured with the wxUSE_ODBC variable set 
to 1 and I must this variable equal to 0 in order to use the wxDb 
classes family.


So I believe that I need to build my own Debian package, so please can 
you give me some tips in order to "how modify" the wxwidgets2.6 source 
packages from 
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/wxwidgets2.6/wxwidgets2.6_2.6.3.2.1.5.tar.gz 
for my requirements and rebuild a Debian package?

This does not seem to be the cause of the problem. If you want to correct
this however, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg might be useful.

  

I didn't find any error from xpdf in the ~/.xsession-errors but I found
something from Eterm:
Eterm: Warning: Locale not supported; defaulting to
portable "C" locale.



This is also not the cause of the problem. All it says is that eterm does
not support your locale. But it should not cause hangups.

1) When the hangup happens, Are you able to ctrl-alt-f1 and go into console
of the machine? If so, log in there and do top/htop etc., to figure out
which process is taking up most of the CPU, memory etc., You can also try
to ssh into the macine.
  
I can't doing nothing, the system is hung, also the mouse and keyboard 
doesn't respond.

2) Also make sure, all the packages in your system are up to date. Sometimes
intermixing different KDE versions etc., are known to cause some problems.
  

   gusti# apt-get dist-upgrade
   Reading package lists... Done
   Building dependency tree... Done
   Calculating upgrade... Done
   0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.


3) Are there any messages in /var/log/messages etc., indicating some hard
drive I/O problems? This is a long shot but worth checking up.
  

Noup

4) Do you have sufficient memory or are you constantly using swap space?
Using swap space is slow as opposed to using RAM and might explain
the "hang ups".
  
Not, the hung also occur if I run Eterm as the first application after 
the X.

sorry I haven't been much useful so far

raju
  


By the way, maybe can I run Eterm and debug it and see what is the problem?
What do you think about it?

Solve it step by step.

When you start the X server are there any errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
That would be the first place to look for X related problems.

  

The only error from Xorg.0.log is
  (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
But I don't think that it is the problem.
 There also some Warning:
  (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist.
    Entry deleted from font path.
  (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1".
                Entry deleted from font path.
    (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1").
Therefore I installed the next packages: 
  ttf-sil-charis ttf-sil-doulos ttf-summersby
  But I still think that the above thinks there aren't the problem.


  Next, if everything in /var/log/Xorg.0.log looks fine, then start xpdf (say
from konsole) and see if there are any errors reported on the konsole
screen and in ~/.xsession-errors
  

I didn't find any error from xpdf in the ~/.xsession-errors but I found
something from Eterm:
  Eterm:  Warning:  Locale not supported; defaulting to portable "C"
locale.
  Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
I again don't think that is really problem, do you?

 By the way my actual revision is: Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 \n \l
and the kernel revision is: 2.6.19.1 (same revision as before the
update).

 Any Idea what can I do?

 Thank you again, Gustavo

I updated debian stable to release 4. In this update also was updated X.
Now, after run 'startx' the fonts in the eligtenment-epplets are to big but
this is not the worse problem. The worse problem is that after few seconds
the Xserver not recognize the mouse and the keyboard.
 So my question is if I can made changes in the xorg.conf  file and let to
Xserver run for some minutes and down. My idea is run the X just for check
if every think is OK.


Thank you in advance,
     Gustavo

Hello,

I installed Etch recently, with the help of the good people of this mailing
list. Now, it works perfectly, but I hate its look. So I decided that I
completely redesign the desktop. Now the work is complete and I wrote a
short article in my blog about the redesign process. The article includes
screenshots and original artworks. Do you like the redesign? You can read
the article here.



You've no idea how hard it was to make sure that we've common artwork
between the three major desktop environments and come up with
debian-moreblue. I like debian-moreblue more than your stuff, but I'm
of course biased.

The problem I see with your artwork is that the red swirl seems to be
something lost over the blue wallpaper, asking some artists that have
no idea about what Debian is give me the impression that
debian-moreblue was the right decision.

Closing, Debian is not and never will be about hate each other's work,
if you're satisfied with your own stuff, great! If you think that
almost all the users would enjoy that you're free to join us at
debian-desktop mailing list and submit your desktop-base (this is a
source package) theme, to be used in KDE, Xfce and GNOME, you really
need to keep it also in mind.

Hi,

I am a desktop user that is currently using Etch.


Hi Wei,

Are you using GNOME, KDE or Xfce ?


You know that Etch is about to release. This means that new features and
software will not get into it any more.

So what is a better choice now, to stick to Etch or to switch to the
next testing? I am not sure which is more important for desktop users,
stability or new features.


The answer is: It depends. :) Do you want the latest stuff to try it
out and is able to keep up with the possible broken pieces? If you
simple don't want to spend time with that, the best choice (for you!)
is stick to Etch and possible adding some backports here and there in
the upcoming months (see backports.org).


I think there might be some people with similar problem/experience with
me. What is your plan/suggestion?  Thank you.


My plan as developer is keep at least a desktop at work with sid,
other with testing and my laptop running Etch. I've also testing and
sid vservers on my laptop for build and test packages. :)

K9copy from debian-multimedia does exactly this.  You can chose to 
keep whatever aspects of the original DVD you want and they are 
recoded to fit a standard DVD.

I have just done exactly what you want to do with k9copy.  It uses 
dvdauthour to create menus *if* you chose not to include the original 
menu.  Otherwise it automatically uses the existing menus and the 
links to features that were not encoded don't work.


From its description

Package: k9copy

Suggests: k3b
Description: copy DVD like dvdshrink
 A small utility which allows the copy of DVD on Linux. The DVD video 
stream is compressed by the program Vamps.


 o Copy without menus :
  In this case, dvdauthor is used to create a new DVD structure. It is
  possible to choose the order in which the video sequences are played.

 o Copy with menus :
  As dvdauthor does not make it possible to integrate the original 
menus, K9Copy reproduces the original structure of the DVD. The 
navigation packs as well as IFO files are modified to point on the 
compressed MPEG stream.


As for the KDE dependencies I dont think you can get round this :).

HTH

Wackojacko


OK, so just rest try it.

 Thank you, Gustavo

Please ignore that content, it needs update. If you have doubts about
the Debian Desktop status ask on debian-desktop mailing list
(debian-desktop@lists.debian.org) or read the following:

http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-desktop
http://stratusandtheswirl.blogspot.com/2006/12/debian-desktop-call-for-tests.html

In short, with Etch you will be able to install a complete desktop
environment (default is GNOME), but there are first CD alternatives
containing KDE and other Xfce. If you don't have bandwidth issues
you're free to download netinst images and install desktop (twm),
gnome-desktop, kde-desktop or xfce-desktop. We call these set of
packages tasks (package: tasksel) but you're also able to install them
using aptitude.

During Lenny development cycle we will work more for further desktop
customizations through others packages preseeding (eg: grub to deliver
a splash screen during boot using splashy or usplash). Get involved

Have fun!

Hi,

AFAIK none, but they support Sarge on some servers and it seems that
the plan is extend this support for Etch once we release at least to
the same set of servers.

I will do my best to obtain some support for laptops and desktops
using as argument the progress we had with Debian Desktop into Etch.
Test installs on HP laptops are welcome. You can submit installation

for "VertRefresh"? I also don't know this values for my LCD-TV. I just 
know that the LCD-TV have resolution WXGA 1366x768 and the next System 
color PAL-N, PAL-M/M and NTSC-M/M.



 Last, thank you a lot, Gustavo

change vga reasolution on the fly

[gustavo halperin]

Hello list,

I bought a VGA to s-video converter, this converter receive VGA input of 
resolution 640x480. I bought this converter in order to connect my 
laptop to my TV. In the other way my external LCD receive VGA input of 
1024x768. So ..., that is my problem: There are any way to use the same 
VGA output (from my laptop) some times with one resolution and some time 
with other resolution without restart the X each time ?


My laptop is a Toshiba Portege R100, this Toshiba haven't s-video 
output, just une VGA output.
I'm currently using X.org (X Window System Version 6.9.0) with OS 
Kernel: Linux version 2.6.19.1.




 Thank you in advance,
      Gustavo

Java: Error occurred during initialization of VM

[gustavo halperin]

Hello


I have a problem with a Java plugin for Mozilla.

For example in the link: http://voipreview.org/voipspeedtester.aspx
I receive the below error in the terminal

VM did not start up properly
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
Could not read ack from child process
Plugin: Java VM process has died.
plugin: java process exited with status 1
Could not start JavaVM!

VM did not start up properly



I have installed the last Jre, version 1.5-0-11. I installed it from the 
RPM. I mean I transform the RPM to deb using "allien" and then 
installing it with "dpkg -i".

I'm also using the last stable mozilla for debian.

Any idea what is my problem ??

 Thank you,
  Gustavo

That cable won't work with a TV that accepts YCbCr input.  RGB is NOT
the same as YCbCr.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YCbCr for a definition
of YCbCr.  If your LCD TV and computer both support the same horizontal
and vertical refresh frequencies at a given resolution, then you'll
need something like http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/9A60.html

What model TV do you have?  Maybe we can figure out exactly what you'll
need to hook it up.

-- Kevin

 Well I have a LCD Sanyo, model LCD-32XA2. The possible inputs are:
   # Y-Cb-Cr
   # Video (common video)
   # S-Video

I think that your above suggestion 
(http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/9A60.html) is the best solution for me.


 Thank you for your help,
 Gustavo

If you don't have video outputs, do you have a VGA output connector
on your laptop?  If so, look into getting a scan converter, that
converts VGA out to composite or s-video out.

There are not VGA out from the computer, the only output is a RGB

If the connector looks like this:

then we are talking about the same thing.  If so, then a scan converter
is what you need.

Hope this helps!

I found some relevant bugreports. [1][2] Notice that that last bug has
severity wishlist but if you think about it this will hit a lot of new
debian users. They'll go into the manpage, see that they could be
reading the info pages, try it and end up on the manpage. Doesn't
break the functionality of the package much, but if the docs are so
hopelessly borked how are users supposed to actually find them before
coming into #debian or on this list asking questions?


Hi Wim,

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, you're right. Unfortunately, i think
the problem should be solved before the Etch freeze, since it isn't a
simple doc fix but probably will require a more intrusive patch into
dpkg. I'll look into this with the QA and release management teams and
will usertag the bugs to keep an eye on their progress.


Don't take this as slagging off Debian, I still think it's the best
distro out there and etch on the whole definitely is doing really
good.


No, i don't take this as slagging. Thanks again for your message, be
sure that there are a lot of people working to make Etch the best
Debian release ever. I think we've more than enough manpower but some
communication problems here and there. I hope the Ombudsman team will
help with these issues not only making bridges between users and
developers, but between teams of developers internally.

Hi all,

   Since Etch is nearly ready to be released, I decided that my best
bet was to keep the new kernel and replace everything else!  ;-)  I
chose to dist-upgrade to Etch.
   I've been using Etch now since Sunday night, and everything is
working really smooth.  Everything seems a lot faster, too.  No doubt
some of that is due to the improved video card, but boot time is
faster and everything I do when working without X also seems faster.


Hi Dave,

You feedback is really appreciated. Btw, if you want to install the
same set of packages as the default (GNOME) desktop environment, i
recommend you: aptitude update && aptitude install desktop
gnome-desktop (there are xfce-desktop and kde-desktop too). Keep in
mind that desktop and gnome-desktop aren't metapackages but tasks (as
in tasksel). In other words, d-i uses tasksel to install set of
packages and not metapackages or a 'hardcoded into d-i' list of
packages.


   I would like to thank the developers who are busting their buns to
get Etch ready for release!  Can anyone suggest other Debian mailing
lists I can post my thanks to, so that the greatest possible number of
developers will see it?  (I realize that "thanks" is just noise, and
not productive, but everyone wants to hear that their hard work is
appreciated!)


You're welcome, thanks. There's no perfect list to send 'thanks', but
debian-project is a good one. This mailing list is suited for non
technical discussions.

I've a question on behalf of the Debian Ombudsman Team:
- Is there any current issue you would like to see solved into our
post-etch release (Lenny) ?

FYI, we will open a ombudsman account soon to be the voice of the
community into the project and work on some more interesting stuff.
We've just started setting up stuff into alioth.debian.org.

sound in kernel 2.6.19.1

[gustavo halperin]

Hello

I have not sound using mplayer or any player but I have the beep sound.

I was compiled kernel 2.6.19.1 almost with the same sound config as with 
the kernel-2.6.15.1, but I have not sound using the new kernel.
I get two errors on boot time (using 2.6.19.1) that wasn't in the old 
kernel-2.6.15.1, next I attach the lines from the kernel-2.6.19.1 boot 
file (/var/log/boot):

>   Mon Jan  8 23:28:18 2007: soundcore
>   Mon Jan  8 23:28:18 2007: FATAL: Module soundcore not found.
>   Mon Jan  8 23:28:18 2007: snd
>   Mon Jan  8 23:28:18 2007: FATAL: Module snd not found.
But there modules are not exist also in the kernel-2.6.15.1 modules, but 
in some way, in the old kernel these modules are loaded successfully, 
next I attach the lines from the kernel-2.6.15.1 boot file:

>   Mon Jan  8 00:47:07 2007: soundcore
>   Mon Jan  8 00:47:07 2007: snd
>   Mon Jan  8 00:47:07 2007: snd-timer

All the other thinks in a boot file are almost the same, but I get in 
the aumix application only: "Vol", "Synth", "Line", "Mic" and "CD"

without: "Mix", "Pcm", "IGaim", "OGaim" and the others.

Thank you in advance,
 Gustavo

Re: 2 weeks as a Debian user: a report back

Dear Debian Users

(...)

I admit that I am also using a new machine than the one I Ran Slackware
on, and I am using a new kernel than that which I used with Slackware. I
have always been a little daunted by the prospect of rolling my own and
imploding my own system in the process. The Etch install made getting a
default 2.6 kernel easy. Somehow (I followed some instructions, and they
seemed to have worked) I upgraded my 2.6 kernel and am running a system
with a comfortable amount of resources and space to play around a bit.
I am using Gnome as my WM having formally been a fan of XFce I am quite
enjoying some of the automations that Gnome offers (e.g. daily package
updates). As a WM, Gnome doesn't seem to release resources as quickly as
XFce did with Slackware. Since I haven't setup XFce to run with Debian,
I can't comment on a comparison btw XFce on Slack or Deb, except that,
by default, Debian Etch seems to run a later version of XFce.


Have you installed GNOME through the "desktop environment" option into
the installer ? If not, i would suggest you do as root: aptitude
update && aptitude install desktop gnome-desktop . It will push Xorg,
Firefox (now iceweasel in Debian), OpenOffice, just the needed GNOME
modules and tons of other useful stuff (eg.: multimedia support for
the browser).

You can install XFCE as root, running: aptitude update && aptitude
install desktop xfce-desktop . You're free to test kde too, following
the same concept (kde-desktop).

For those in doubt these desktop and $foo-desktop thing came from
tasksel that is also used by d-i (the debian-installer). The tasksel,
d-i and debian-desktop (a pkg-gnome, pkg-kde and pkg-xfce joint
effort) did the dirty job behind the scenes to give you the best
possible desktop and freedom of choice. You will see special CDs and
maybe live CDs surface once we release Etch (debian-cd guys are
working on that too). Stay tuned and spread the word! :)


So what's different, at least from my pov?
1. Software installs right, plays nicely together and I have yet to run
into dependency hell (touch wood :) )
2. The range of software available is quite stunning, and I am impressed
by the little tweaks of applications that makes them recognise each
other, such as the auto-mount and the intelligent use of hot-plugging,
the auto-updating of applications, and the overall stability of the system.
3. I also think that the rendering of the screen and the range of fonts
is very impressive.
4. The installation was pretty straightforward, but aside from
idiosyncrasies in procedure between Debian and Slackware, the
installation process didn't pose any difficulties. Once one does some
reading apt-get seems reasonably straightforward, and that Debian has
init.d files when Slackware uses rc.d files takes a bit of reminding to
get straight, but that's just self-de/re-programming.


Please use synaptic (GNOME) and aptitude (console) and not apt-get
directly. It's better.


Overall, I am really impressed with Debian, and I realise that there is
a lot yet to learn about the "Debian way". After 2 weeks however, I must
also say that I have found the support and discussion here first-rate,
prompt and thoughtful. Nice one ... that certainly boosts a new user's
confidence. :)


That's nice to hear. Thank you for taking your time writing the message.


So, onwards and onwards :D I am beginning to get a sense of GNU/Linux's
power through its software and its range of capacity, whereas with
Slackware I had a sense of GNU/Linux's reliability and work-horse
stability. This is like flying after having learnt (to some degree of
functionality) to walk!!

Happy 2007 to y'all


Have fun with Debian and happy 2007.


I don't know if any Debian developers read these lists


We do.

It's a mixed bag.

I just added a DVD Burner:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827106013
for $30! Check that price!
and it was detected right away and mondo used it w/o problem.

I only use Nvidia graphics cards and those are detected right away by
the Nvidia driver (I use the closed source driver, not the Debian package).

However, I added a USB disk, through adding an ATA disk:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148095
to an external enclosure:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817145657
and plugged that into the USB port and that was detected right away
also. But I could not boot from it: motherboard BIOS problem.

If I added an entry to my /etc/fstab for the USB disk, it would cause no
problems with a Debian stock kernel, because it uses initrd, but with my
custom kernel I would have to add the initrd option to load usb-storage
support.

My daughter bought a USB external modem for me and it would never work,
because of the proprietary M$ driver.

Bottomline: it depends on what you're adding and what hardware you have
installed.


This is valid for any operating system, not Debian GNU/Linux alone but
the most used by end-users too. Go hunt for up-to-date video card
drivers to run over amd64 and/or with their latest stuff. :)

I think in your scenario Debian performed very well and the USB
external modem isn't really our fault. I blame the vendor for not
disclose the hardware specs and/or the kernel team if they did. You
know, our part of the community work that needs to be done, is right
there in Etch waiting the other pieces.

No not necessarily, let me give you a scenario: You are running fine with
your onboard controller for a while but you feel a little tight on disk
space and you decide to add a drive. You also need to add a pci controller
for it since you ide (or sata for that matter) onboard is packed. But for
some reason the add on card is loaded before the onboard one, which shifts
all the drives down... It is not a kernel bug, just a timing 'feature'.


udev should be covering this corner case as he does for network
interfaces, but i dunno really.


As for the fstab, you would probably be stuck if you use the partition
directly. And since the fstab is used for the initramfs creation, you
would need to regenerate it again after. But there is another way than
labels. LVM is not dependent on the name of the PV anymore, if the name
of one does change, lvm will find it with its uuid and load it normally.
That is one more advantage in using it rather that static partitions.


sure. ;)

While you are right, I see one special case. It is not the case here but
if you change your booting devices, you will need to rebuild the
initramfs. I am mainly speaking about adding a drive or controller which
change the ordering and name of the others.


You're right, thanks for pointing it out, but me as both user and
admin don't do that usually.

Btw, if you change your hard disk controller only (hardware raid?)
you're probably not a newcomer user. Unfortunately, it isn't that easy
figure out what's going on from the boot loader, kernel and the
whole system (read /etc/fstab at first) - but per filesystem id (or label)
boot and mount should be worked out for our next release, IMHO.

Adding a drive that changes the name from the original drive sounds
like a controller bug or kernel bug though.

Compile the new kernel with support for that new hardwear.


I'm sorry but you're wrong.

Kevin,

The hardware is detected during the boot process too and not only
during the installation, unless you've changed it manually.

Answering about the video card and dvd burner:

- Video card: Probably it will be properly detected and the kernel
module will be loaded, but you will still need to reconfigure your
Xorg if it uses a different chipset than the older card. You can
reconfigure the package xserver-xorg or simply edit /etc/X11/Xorg.conf
changing the Driver from the old to the new one.
- DVD burner: If you use GNOME and haven't installed the desktop
environment install gnomebaker package and have fun.

A lot of other kind of hardware will work 'out of the box' (eg: most
of usb tokens) and others will be detected but you will need install a
package or if we're replacing old hardware with new stuff change a
configuration file.

Suggestions are welcome.

regards,

I'm sure I am and I was really making this statement based on my own
perception more than any hard facts. I think what may be causing this
perception is the web-based control panel companies like Cpanel and
SWsoft. I've never seen a Cpanel or Plesk server running off of Debian
but again this is only what I have noticed.

Honestly I really want to give Debian a try as one of my production
servers. I don't know how difficult it will be to migrate the data
across from CentOS and RH but I am considering getting a third server
to accommodate for the growth of my site and I want to try this one
with Debian.


Well, you can start moving static content (images, some html) or setup
some balance scheme in a way that if Debian fails (as a backup server)
the main server (CentOS and/or RH) will keep up the stuff. It will
require minor changes in the CentOS and/or RH, if you're using MySQL
or PgSQL and a bunch of PHP or insert your favourite language here
based websites on top of that.

I would recommend you study vserver (using Debian), so you can put up
multiple Debian instances really fast and simulate your needed
scenarios.


This all ofcourse once I have a proper understanding and feel totally
comfortable with my current etch installation on my laptop.


Sounds cool. Well, i would recommend you run as root:

If you use GNOME:
aptitude install desktop gnome-desktop

If you use KDE:
aptitude install desktop kde-desktop

If you use XFCE (it's new, be sure that you've tasksel 2.58 with dpkg
-l tasksel or wait a bit more):
aptitude install desktop xfce-desktop

If you use other WM just do:
aptitude install desktop

You will be able to enjoy the candies Debian Desktop initiative and
tasksel team prepared for you!  That's possible install the same set
of packages right from the installer too and hopefully we will release
a live cd from that sets right after Etch release.

of course i do.


I have noticed that Red Hat, Suse, CentOS, Fedora, etc. appear to
dominate the web server market as the backend powering most production
servers and I'm wondering why Debian doesn't feature?


I'm sure you're wrong. Debian was showed as #1 in the web servers that
publishes the distribution info by Netcraft some time ago (nothing
more than 1 or 2 years ago).


I own two dedicated web servers and they run Red Hat and CentOS but
what makes them different to Debian? I have done a lot of reading and
research on Debian and my impression of, particularly stable is that
it is one of the most reliable, stable GNU/Linux systems available out
there.


Red Hat EL or the old and for the most part unsupported one? I've
managed some old RH servers through Fedora legacy updates before
migrating them to Debian on my current job. I'm a Debian Developer so
i'm biased and maybe not the most indicated person to tell you the
pros and cons, but there i go.

With RHEL you've somebody to pay and blame and their tools to update
the system are better in every release (except for the web interface,
Debian matches them, but you can install dpkg-www to obtain similar
features). I'm not into the CentOS community thing, but if they have a
lot of good people i would prefer CentOS than RHEL if you're not going
to pay Red Hat support.

Debian has a community and for the suprise of some, much more
softwares (we're talking about ~ 10.000 more) packaged and well
integrated. That's what (in a way) Fedora tries to reach, IMHO.
Actually, we're working very hard to polish our next release (Etch)
and i suggest you give it a try.


Maybe I'm missing some key issue here (and clearly I must be) but it
makes logical sense to me to power a production server with the most
stable system... surely?


Yeah. =)

The hard part is to identify the key packages that are blocking all the
rest.


Hi Hendrik,

After all you've a updated (as in testing) aptitude, right? Please do:
aptitude install desktop gnome-desktop if you're using GNOME,
otherwise use 'desktop kde-desktop' (xfce-desktop will enter testing
soon).

Feedback is appreciated.

Are you using d-i etch RC1 ? If yes, i would recommend you log into
GNOME and use synaptic package manager or let the update-notifier tell
you that there are updates (you will see a notification icon on top
right).

If you really want a terminal you can change the 'session' before log

In the other way if I connect the WebCam directly to the computer the 
first two lines are the only difference, see next:

   usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 15
   usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Using the 4-port-Hub the mplayer fail open the video device, geting the 
next message:

   unable to open '/dev/video0': Function not implemented

So, that is a problem in a spca5xx driver or in the kernel or where ???


Thank you very much,
      Gustavo

motorola v3i synchronize

[gustavo halperin]

Hello

I have a Motorola V3i, and I don't know how to synchronize the 
phonebook with Linux. When I connect the USB  I get from the dmesg the 
below lines:

   usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7
   usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices
   scsi4 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
   usb-storage: device found at 7
   usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
 Vendor: Motorola  Model: Motorola PhoneRev: 2.31
 Type:   Direct-Access  ANSI SCSI revision: 02
   sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda
   sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
   usb-storage: device scan complete

I didn't find any software for my phone and also I didn't success to 
mount the above device, see the example below:

   # mount  /dev/sda /mnt/usbkey
   mount: No medium found

So, do you know any solution to my problem ??

 Thank you very much in advance,
Gustavo

I'd say that is *highly* optimistic.  The article says "more than 1.2
million active sites."  There is a huge difference between active sites
and web servers.  There are ISPs who manage to server hundreds of web
sites from one web server.  There are also ISPs like SpeakEasy who host
thousands upon thousands of websites from a web cluster (running Debian)
which appears like three or four logical hosts to the outside world.

Anyhow, if you are conservative and say 10 sites per web server, then
you are looking at more like 120,000 actual boxes running Debian to
server up public web pages.



I think that netcraft is smart enough to count unique servers (ip
addresses) and not just the web sites. Yes, one server can answer
queries from multiple ip addresses, but the number is much more than
your bet.

If you add Debian web servers not publishing this information, others
servers (2 * 1.2, at least?), desktops, embedded and others (3 * 1.2
?) we've much more than 7.2 million installations running now. Just a
guess of course, but i think the exact number is around 10 million.

Re: How do I configure acpid?

[gustavo halperin]

Hello

What about thermal changes, which event must be cached in 
'/etc/acpid/events/thermal' when the temperature change and 
consequently, it is wrote in '/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature'


 Thank you,
  Gustavo

I am trying to get uswsusp to work on my Unstable Laptop.  I

But the usual (all Toshibas do this AFAIK) power-button event after resume
is not ignored by your userspace.  Try integrating s2ram into your acpid
configuration or just shut acpid down before suspend to verify this. Try
the s2ram combinations from "init=/bin/bash" to find out which ones work.
  

How do you integrate s2ram into your acpid?  Is there documentation for
that?  What is "init=/bin/bash"?  Thanks.



Appending "init=/bin/bash" to the boot options in Grub or Lilo is a
(somewhat crude) way to make sure that the acpi daemon is not started.
If you think that acpid is interfering with your wake-up process, then
you can just call

/etc/init.d/acpi stop

before you try suspend-to-ram/resume again.

I am not 100% sure if I understand you correctly, but it seems to me
that your problem is caused by acpid interpreting the power button event
(which triggers resume) as a signal to shut down the laptop. If that is
the case then you could try something like this:

acpid & thermal_zone

[gustavo halperin]

Hello

I have a problem in order to cache thermal events.  I wrote the file 
'/etc/acpid/events/thermal' and the file 'thernal.sh', see below:
   event=thermal_zone
   action=/etc/acpi/thermal.sh
But when the temperature is changing, the file 'thermal.sh' isn't 
called. More over, the only clients writing in '/var/log/acpid' are the 
ones referred to batteries or lid changes.
 The temperature acpi code work OK, I mean, the file 
'/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature' show the current temperature. 
But, when are temperature changes, not events are cached.


 What is my error???

Thank you,
 Gustavo

Debian, 

 

   Did you get this error message resolved. I’m
