Re: stop automatic checkdisk on boot
Hi, what is your filesystem on this partition ? I don't very well, but maybe you can see the tune2fs command, for example (for ext2/3/4) list the current values of your filesystem : ~]# tune2fs -l /dev/sda6 Last checked: Fri Feb 5 11:48:41 2010 Check interval: 15552000 (6 months) And you can use the same command to change it: ~]# man tune2fs -i interval-between-checks[d|m|w] Adjust the maximal time between two filesystem checks. No postfix or d result in days, m in months, and w in weeks. A value of zero will disable the time-dependent checking.

Try to boot a rescue CD that has TestDisk on it. TestDisk is often able to restore a damaged partition table. Package: testdisk Description: Partition scanner and disk recovery tool TestDisk checks the partition and boot sectors of your disks. It is very useful in recovering lost partitions. It works with : * DOS/Windows FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 * NTFS ( Windows NT/2K/XP ) [...] On the other hand, if Partition Magic really screwed up the NTFS filesystem itself then you might indeed have to reinstall. Before you do that, however, you could try if scalpel manages to recover your important personal files. Package: scalpel Description: A Frugal, High Performance File Carver A fast file carver that reads a database of header and footer definitions and extracts matching files from a set of image files or raw device files. Scalpel is filesystem-independent and will carve files from FATx, NTFS, ext2/3, or raw partitions. It is useful for both digital forensics investigation and file recovery. The ntfsprogs package also has a few utilities which you could try before you give up and reinstall: ntfsfix, ntfsinfo, ntfsundelete, ntfsls, etc. Grml (http://www.grml.org) is a nice debian-based system rescue CD that includes these three packages (and many more). -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- --- Thiago Santos Faria Xavier Teixeira ---

If that works, and you're happy that XP is in good condition, then you might try using parted from a live Linux CD, such as Knoppix. At worst, you reinstall Windows, and if it is new, there's probably not too much investment in time already made. If you don't have the CD, it's harder. The computer will probably have a 'recovery' method, but it will only install a clean XP on the same single partition, and you're no further on. But I've seen claims that parted will successfully resize Small Business Server 2003, one of XP's grown-up relatives, so it's worth a try. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I was never able to start windows up again. If you google your problem, you'll see that this same incident happened to many others.

Partition Magic may have an "undo" feature, which might save you.

Re: MySQL problems
I fixed it. I just deleted the mysql directory at /var/lib, and did an apt-get remove then apt-get install for both mysql-server and mysql-client.

On 18/06/2006, at 6:07 PM, Jim Popovitch wrote: I've seen this behavior before with MySQL. The issue is that MySQL uses not only your login name but also the hostname it sees you logging in from. For instance in the MySQL user table there will be entries like this: name hostpassword --- root localhost123abc bob *123abc tom vixen123abc Based on the above root can only login from the localhost, bob can login from anywhere, but tom can only login from host vixen. Make sense? So your issue is that mysql stored a hostname for user root when mysql was setup. Debian uses localhost.localdomain for 127.0.0.1, but for some reason MySQL only stores localhost in the user table. Try changing localhost.localdomain to just localhost in /etc/hosts, then try relogging into MySQL.

How can I specify email address for log_accum.in (CVS)
Hi,
I'd like to use the scripts log_accum.in for CVS and commit_prep.in for
projects using CVS to send mails to a mailing list. I don't understand how to
configure them well. Could you please help me to do this ?
In fact, we are using CVS 1.12.9 included in Debian Sarge. I'm already tested
other scripts but they didn't work well with the last format of message. I've
downloaded the scripts from the package of CVS 1.12.10.
So I've installed the scripts on CVSROOT on a project. I've changed the
constant to use the new info format string, to emulate local users.
I've put in CVSROOT/commitinfo :
DEFAULT $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commit_prep.in -- %r/%p %s
And in CVSROOT/loginfo :
DEFAULT $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/log_accum.in %{sVv}
However I don't understand how I can specify the email where the message is
sent. Could you please tell me this ?
I seems that the email comes from the line :
push(@mlist_list, &read_file_lines("$MLIST_FILE.$i.$id.$cvs_user"));
And $MLIST_FILE.$i.$id.$cvs_user is the file :
$TMPDIR/${FILE_PREFIX}files.mlist
I don't understand how this file is generated. I had a look at commit_prep.in
and it is :
#!/usr/bin/perl
$TMPDIR = $ENV{'TMPDIR'} || '/tmp';
$FILE_PREFIX = '#cvs.';
if ($ARGV[0] eq '-u') {
shift @ARGV;
$CVS_USERNAME = shift (@ARGV);
}
$LAST_FILE = "$TMPDIR/${FILE_PREFIX}lastdir";
sub write_line {
my ($filename, $line) = @_;
open(FILE, ">$filename") || die("Cannot open $filename: $!\n");
print(FILE $line, "\n");
close(FILE);
}
$id = getpgrp();
&write_line("$LAST_FILE.$id.$CVS_USERNAME", $ARGV[0]);
exit(0);
There is no mention of that file.
Regards and thank you for your help.

Blank page for PHP pages when 1st load
Hi all, I've done an upgrade from debian 3.0 to 3.1. I use apache 1.3 and I didn't upgrade it to 2.0. Apache seems to work well. Except for some PHP files which are displayed as a blank page when the first time people access it. If I reload it, the page is well displayed. I don't have any error messages in my logs. You have a look of this problem on the following page : http://consortium.objectweb.org/registration.php any help is welcome.

Yes I've done this just after the failed.
I seems there are a problem with the function clock_gettime(). In fact when I

here is below the complete message for strace.

Also some friends helped me to install a new kernel while supposing there is a
problem with the time.h library in my current kernel (2.4.29) but It doesn't
correct the problem.
By the way, I've 2 identical hardware and on one the migration works fine and
the kernel is the same.
I don't really catch what's happening.

syslog-ng and size based logrotate
Hi,
I setted up my workstation
to logrotate logs based on size.
thoses entries are in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng :
[...]
/var/log/ppp.log {
rotate 20
size=10M
missingok
notifempty
compress
}
[...]
/var/log/syslog {
rotate 20
size=10M
compress
postrotate
/etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload >/dev/null
endscript
}
so, in /var/log/syslog, daily is replaced by size=10M.
which means the postrotate script will be executed
only when syslog reach 10M.
the side effect is that if another log grows faster
than syslog (for example i have a catchall log *.* to all.log),
all.log may be rotated, and syslog, which is still < 10M,
wont be rotated.
so syslog-ng will continue to log to all.log.1
annoying.
however, this is rarely the case ;
even if you set everything to logrotate based on size,
syslog has good chances to be the biggest, due to
the partial catch all.
in a normal debian install, this is never the case;
the script is executed daily, because the log rotation
is set so.
there could be a note in the logrotate man page,
(or anywhere else that fits) for warning the
user about using size based logrotation AND
using the
/etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload >/dev/null
command in the "/var/log/syslog { " entry
of /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng.
(even if this is rarely the case...)
opinions ?
thanks

If this works it's a pslib bug and you should report it.

looking for a corporate debian edition, with support
Hello, I'm looking for support for debian, or for a debian-based distribution (more for server) (ie i could call to have support for debugging my server, like the red hat enterprise with support : http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/as/) I'd like a corporate web site. I'd like phone support. (9 to 5, Mon to Fri, canada) I need that because my client wants it. it means that if i don't find something like that, he _will_ choose redhat as or something similar (suse). (i'm pro-debian. unfortunaly, as explained in http://userlinux.com/white_paper.html, http://debian-enterprise.org/, debian needs a corporate support, corporate website. those two web sites are seeking this goal.) Please keep in mind that all the judgements here are thoses from my boss/my client. I'm looking for a distribution debian or debian based (for the ease of use of debian, for me) which is corporate enough (for my client) I looked at : http://debian-enterprise.org/ : nothing yet http://ubuntulinux.org/ , http://www.canonical.com/projects/ : almost good, but a donate button on the web site is not corporate enough. (ubuntu is only sponsored by canonical. canonical does not release ubuntu themselves. it seems to be a problem). hp supported version of debian : http://h20223.www2.hp.com/NonStopComputing/cache/76816-0-0-225-121.aspx but it's only supported on hp hardware. (i believe) progeny : http://componentizedlinux.org/progeny/downloads/ beta only for now. http://www.libranet.com/support.html not corporate enough. ben hur http://www.pyramid.de/e/benhur/support/support_companion.shtml looks good, but no phone support. http://www.stonesoft.com/products/ seems not to sell the distribution, only the hardware with the distribution. http://www.voxel.net/downloads/ seems not to sell the distribution. thanks for your help -- xavier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

That way you could use MergedFB/twinview which is faster than Xinerama, because it shares a single frame buffer between both screens.

bugs in stable ?
Hello, I use debian stable on a couple servers, and testing/unstable on my workstations. works great. The security updates are nice on both stable and unstable. debian-security-announce is wonderful. (did i mention apt-get yet ? ;-) However, when there is a problem on a package in stable which is not important enough to be updated, the package stays as-is and information about this bug is difficult to retrieve. That the package doesn't change is fine with me, what i'd like is a way to keep track of problems of packages in the stable distribution. I'd like thoses bugs to be reported by apt-listbugs. I'd like the bugs submitted with reportbug on stable to have a "stable"(maybe?) tag. I guess a lot of them would have a "fixed in unstable" tag. Currently I believe there is no easy way to get this information. (correct me if i'm wrong) The tag "woody" seems seldom used. I tried on the package "locales". all bugs ever (i believe ?) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=locales&archive=yes bugs with tag woody : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=locales&archive=yes&include=woody I think there is missing bugs here, like this one : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=183685&archive=yes may be i'm wrong, but you see the point.

make-kpkg multiple times for each cpu ? (p3,p4,k7...)
Hi, I'm using make-kpkg to build kernels. I need the same kernel on differents hosts. (p3,p4,k7...) Now i'm builing the kernel, i do a make xconfig/menuconfig to change the cpu, and i'm rebuilding. Is there a way to build all thoses kernels non-interactively ? I could do some sed on the config file, but unfortunately the processor is not the only one to change : (so i would risk forcing something bad) -CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII=y +# CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII is not set -# CONFIG_MK7 is not set +CONFIG_MK7=y -CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT=5 +CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT=6 +CONFIG_X86_USE_3DNOW=y is there any way to pass a config param through the command line, that would apply dependencies ?

WinTV USB adapter which uses a usbvision chip. It works but has some details. The usbvision linux driver isn't in the kernel and isn't very mature yet. The adapter works only with xawtv, i couldn't make it work with tvtime nor xawdecode and it only works with low framerate (8fps) because higher frame rates use some propietary compression protocol.

Did you try a strace on OpenOffice ?
For example, here is how to track which files are opened by bzflag:
,
| strace -e trace=file /usr/games/bzflag
`
It will output things like:
,
| fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1266, ...}) = 0
| stat64("/home", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|S_ISGID|0775, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
| stat64("/home/zedek", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=8192, ...}) = 0

I post it here to seek for improvements, i have not be able to find better info on the web Grab thei bf2.4 rescue disk, mount it, edit syslinux.cfg add, as first line : serial 0 115200 you may add set TIMEOUT 1 in case you want autoboot then add, to each APPEND line : console=ttyS0,115200n8 boot with rescue, insert root disk when asked, press enter (through the console). (i personnaly use minicom -c on (-c on : color on)) (gtktern is an alternative) you're on the debian installer now. at the first reboot, it will auto boot on console at 9600 ! so you have to switch to 9600. the command executed is this one : T0:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/termwrap /usr/sbin/base-config /dev/ttyS0 2>&1 if anyone knows how to reboot in 115200... (kernel params in lilo maybe ?) at the end of install, it will then switch back to 115200 (after the "have fun") console getty (ie on vga) will be disabled (re-enable it if you need it) also, base-config console-data console-tools console-tools-libs are to be removed. i didn't want that, so i answered no the removal question. (you may need to apt-get remove pcmcia-cs afterwards) you'll end up with a tty on ttyS0 (T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt102) but lilo won't be on ttyS0. (which is fine with me) that's it. bye -- xavier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

lynx : sh: line 1: test -n :0.0: command not found : mailcap, update-mime
Hi,
I've been digging around to find something (eg google),
but nothing came up.
I run testing/unstable.
when i was running lynx, (on my workstation, on which was installed X)
(behaves like that both in console and X)
I had the message :
sh: line 1: test -n :0.0: command not found
(for every web site)
after stracing i found that
lynx itself is forking to sh:
32603 fork()= 32617
32617 --- SIGSTOP (Stopped (signal)) @ 0 (0) ---
32617 rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_DFL}, NULL, 8) = 0

32617 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
32617 execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "\"test -n $DISPLAY\""], [/* 64 vars */]) = 0
[snip]
32617 stat64("./test -n :0.0", 0xb040) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
32617 rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_DFL}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0

32617 write(2, "sh: line 1: test -n :0.0: comman"..., 44) = 44
32617 _exit(127)= ?
this test came from /etc/mailcap,
where i could find things like :
test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
(application/ghostview; /usr/bin/X11/gv '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY")
test=test -z "$DISPLAY"
test=test "$DISPLAY" != ""
i replaced test -n "$DISPLAY" by test=test "$DISPLAY" != ""
everywhere i found.
lynx worked without a warning.
thoses -n come from different packages,
/etc/mailcap is regenerated by update-mime,
using /usr/lib/mime/packages/*
an exemple of package using -n is imagemagick :
grep -l -- 'test -n' /usr/lib/mime/packages/*
acroread-debian-files
bittorrent
freewrl
galeon
gnumeric
gv
imagemagick
mozilla-browser
mplayer-686
timidity
vrwave
xloadimage
a package not using it :
konqueror :
text/html; konqueror %s;test=test "$DISPLAY" != ""; priority=5
grep -l '"$DISPLAY" != ""' *
abiword-common
gnome-apt
kate
konqueror
metamail
openoffice.org
realplayer
xmms
Is there a need for standardisation ?
what went wrong on my side ?
thanks

[Oh Joy]: Preliminary PHP4 support for Apache2
Hi, Since ages now I am struggling to have a full Apache2/PHP4 safe, reliable and _usable_ environment ready and running at home but not only. What a surprise when I've seen the latest PHP4 package update was the first to officially "embedd" (typo ?) Apache2 support ! Okay it is not used/built against it currently, but this is now question of time and yeah I am pretty excited about that ;) So this message was just to say to all of you, yes you can expect to have a PHP4 running under the so awsome Apache2 right now. Hold on !

For example, in a small cache celeron compiling some package optimized for size (-Os) could be much better than "-O3 -funroll-loops" (it's just a guess).

I can understand your point but mine is different in which I _only_ want debian packages on those systems. Why do I need a PHP4 for my Apache2 server is related to subversion which is provided with a apache2 dev_svn module. I know I don't need PHP for this but my problem is I also use a piece of software called papaan which does a heavy use of XML and PHP. I don't want to have 2 different versions of my Apache here and so I want to migrate all stuff running under Apache 1.x to Apache2 and so forth I need a PHP4 version for it. That said I have read into the TODO.Debian there will be a Apache2 support but I didn't see anyrhing about this since ages so ... What I am sure is I only want to install Debian related stuff on my 2 systems and don't want to have to build software from sources.

PHP4 for Apache2: when ?
Hello, I know this has already been discussed here and there but I really want to know why Debian doesn't provide PHP4 for Apache2. In fact I am in a desperate need of it for my personnal use and also for my work. So why ? I know PHP4 *IS* working pretty well in conjunction with Apache2 (i had feedback on this) but there is still nothing for us Debian user. I had have tried to install it by hand but I failed building it from source. I have also tried to build my own set of .deb files without success too.

Actually this was not my intention :) Err.. I mean I can do it
partially but my main attempt would be first to have it set to UTF-8 for
my mail/usenets exchange.
But why not, in a near future, I could be interested to just migrate
definetely and get rid of all this bad mixture iso-soup encoding.
So to ask again: is it safe to use any subset of the Unicode system to
communicate on Usenets and more generally for the mail exchange ?

Unicode: is it safe to use it ?
Hi, I had have already a discussion about this on the ding mailing-list and there opinions was quite different. So I am asking it again here just to get the maximum amount of informations before taking a decision. In fact I want(ed) to know whether it is/was safe to use Unicode (i.e. utf-8) encoding system to communicate on Usenets and so forth for mails ? It seems that 10 years after its creation, Unicode is not as used as it should be (my opinion) and so, I am not sure many software (communication software) are "aware" of Unicode stuff. Except bloated piece of software such as Outlook, is there any risk I can encounter by using utf-8 in my daily default encoding system ? I am pretty sure the majority of the *N*X MUA can easily handle/deal with it but better have some more opinions on that. So what is the deal ? iso-soup or Unicode ?

[OT]: CVS replacement
Hello, Since ages, I wanted to replace CVS here. I firstly tried to find out all the most interesting candidates for this. I have now a list of 2 items: subversion and tla. I tried to setup tla but didn't achieve totally this task. So now I am facing a dilemna: what is the most appropriate software to finally replace my old CVS (which hasn't satisfied me) ? For the little I tried tla, it seems smaller and easier to setup but as I didn't try at all subversion, this may be wrong. So I claim your help in making my choice: what would you use to replace CVS ? Subversion claims to be the CVS replacement but tla seems also interesting to me. Does anybody have feedback/recommendations for the 2 solutions ? Currently I am still using CVS 'till I can switch definetely to something else.

hi On testing, I get this for strace: [EMAIL PROTECTED](DB)# apt-get install strace Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libc6 libc6-dev locales The following packages will be REMOVED: php4 The following NEW packages will be installed: strace 3 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 52 not upgraded. Need to get 9428kB of archives. After unpacking 950kB will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n Abort. And just to be sure it's not my fault for some corruption that might have happened, I tried to apt-get another package and it went peacefully. Any idea to get strace ??

some apps are too big on my fujitsu
Hello On a fujitsu p-2120 running testing, the gui to load files on xmms and the gv postscript viewer are way too big compared to a simple but obediant xterm. I thought it was first related to fonts, but after having played w/gtkrc, I affected ... fonts ! not the overwhelming size of boxes. Moreover, it is not related to gv. So ended trying w/ helpful comments to let my X determine the dpi, switching from 100x100 to 75x75 when removing the "-dpi 100" from my /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. Nothing visible changed. So, now, where should I look ? any idea ? X -- Xavier Barnabe-Theriault http://xebu.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
