Hi,

After peel the web to find any information about how to add / remove hard
drive on Debian.
My Hardware is HP  ProLiant DL380 G7, with HP Smart Array P410i Controller
version 3.50.

I had preferred soft RAID solution with mdadm. But the only bad point for
me is the Hot Plug.
Could some one help me to add / remove hard drive disk from my server ?

I have tested many solution with rescan, and i think the solution is not
so far...

I'm sure that at least one Debian user use this hardware and want use hot
plug.
If not, I'm listening for any information about hot plug on any hardware.

Have all a good day.

JG.

If you use the onboard controller there is no need to do some software voodoo. 
Just replace a faulty drive by a new one. The rebuild starts automatically.

Your device is /dev/cciss/c0d0

Re: Question about HotPlug and cciss hp storage

Hello Frank,

Fist of all, thank you for your fast answer.

I use Soft Raid... and not Hard. So the disk array present me all the disks
without any RAID or control.
So if i want to remove a HDD, i have to set it faulty and logical remove
from mdadm before hard remove HDD physically.

And when i want add the new one... my system doesn't detect it... So i need
a little voodoo solution to force Debian see the HDD :)

The problem is not here. The problem is that every time an update is
done, or even quite often (I don't know if each time this happens this
is an update as it would mean updates are very frequent!) the Firefox
starts as if it was installed for the first time (e.g. no history, no
bookmarks, etc.), except that
1) my plugins/add-ons are still recognized and used,
2) my default webpage (start page) is still OK.

 Firefox can be configured to forget history (and maybe bookmarks?) on
 exit. Maybe you did configure it this way?
On exit, I do not generally forget history/bookmarks. Thanks anyway
for the answer.

Firefox and PDF incompatibility

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

When opening PDFs documents in Firefox (e.g. by clicking on a PDF link
in a webpage), it sometimes happens to my Firefox to stuck when
loading the PDF. The PDF seems to be completely downloaded, but does
not load in the acrobat plug-in. However, Firefox is still stable and
responds correctly in other tabs.

It looks like there's some issue with the Firefox-acrobat reader
plugin. I noticed this on other computers running Linux and Firefox,
even on different distros and acroread versions.

I am running Firefox 10.0.1., but have got the same problem on Firefox
10.0. I am running acroread 9.0 but tried with other versions as well.

Thanks for any info.

Laptop Battery problem

2012-02-17 Thread Lorenzo Sutton

I am running XFCE 4.8 on debian wheezy on my laptop and since about two 
weeks the xfce Power Manager gets the battery charge percentage wrong, 
the most critical problem being that the machine shuts off without any 
previous warning.


I wonder where the problem might be.

Indeed this  battery is getting old (3 years now) and less efficient, 
but I can't explain why suddenly Xfce Power Manager is getting it so 
wrong given that it was working like a charm (even giving a pretty 
accurate esteem of remaining time). I imagine Power Manager is relying 
on some lower level (software, kernel?)features, maybe in the kernel?


Of course I imagine this could also be a hardware problem, as I guess 
there must be some electronics communicating the battery charge?


I am a little confused by the many, somewhat mixed and not-so-clear 
sources on the net addressing 'battery calibration' in various ways. Let 
alone 'battery revitalising' by putting it in the fridge etc. The 
current focus would be about getting an - at least reliable - estimate, 
and what's more warning, about battery power left avoiding the machine 
to abruptly shut off.


Any suggestion etc. appreciated.

Lorenzo.

I believe this is a common failing with batteries. I might be wrong
here, but as they age, the discharge profile of a battery changes such
that the monitoring hardware tends to over-estimate the remaining
capacity. This typically manifests as normal discharging down to, say,
10 or 15%, followed by a sudden step to 0%.

Now, most power profiles are set up to warn of low battery at, say 10%
and treat 5% as critical. If the battery capacity suddenly drops past
the warning level into the critical level, the system has no choice but
to take emergency measures.

As for where this information comes from: XFCE Power Manager will query
the ACPI daemon which is running in the background. That will talk to
the kernel's ACPI subsystem will, in turn, will talk to the ACPI
implementation in the BIOS. That, ultimately, is what decides what the
battery level is. Only the BIOS really knows what the battery charge
currently is, what a 'full charge' is and what 'zero charge' is. It MAY
be possible to re-teach the BIOS about the current charge profile of the
battery, but it's generally just easier to increase the warning level in
Power Manager.

HP advices a procedure (Windows only) to 'recalibrate' the battery [2] I 
guess this could be reporduced in similar fashion. In particular Option 
two could probably simply be boot into grub and let it stay there until 
it completely discharges (so no power-management stuff goes on) and see 
how it goes.


I'll have to look deeper into acpi which I guess could come in handy to 
try and gather some better information as soon as I'm back at the laptop 
and maybe report some results here.


Thanks for now,
Lorenzo.

Re: Question about HotPlug and cciss hp storage

First, we use Soft Raid because we like mdadm so much ! ;)
We have amazing performances and a nice supervision on all the RAID status.

We will keep Software RAID.

The only weak point is that HotPlug.
To Frank, I have tried that :
# echo rescan  /proc/driver/cciss/cciss0
And I have a write error : invalid argument

So no, I didn't rescan anything... It's just what I need (a command line to
recan all HDD device)

All flash videos playing far too quickly

I've just switched my wife and myself to Debian because I got fed up 
with reinstall-type upgrades. We're both running Wheezy, all updates 
applied, my wife on an AMD Athlon X2, my PC is a Phenom X4. She's 
using KDE, I'm using XFCE.


The problem we're both having is that all Flash videos play FAR too 
quickly - maybe (guesstimate) by a factor of three or four.


I've tried removing and reinstalling the flashplugin package. I've 
tried downloading the latest player from Adobe. I've tried IceWeasel, 
Chromium and Epiphany. Nothing helps.


I've tried doing searches, and obviously I'm not the only one to have 
seen this problem, but I can't find anything which gives a solution 
for Debian.


Has anyone managed to solve this?


Thanks,

Brian.

Never heard of it.

You say you have tried Flash 11 direct from Adobe (single .so)?
That has given me the least trouble of any version.

Check FF/IW about:plugins to verify that that is really the only Flash
it is seeing.

What video cards and drivers do you have?
Is this all 64 bit?

My first two questions are:
1) Do you really need Adobe Reader features or will Evince or Okular
or similar work for you? Poppler-based PDF readers are really very
good nowadays.

2) Why are you opening in the browser? I have never ever found that to
work well, with any combo of OS, browser and PDF reader. I either
launch the PDF reader as a separate process from the browser, or
save the PDF and then open it. PDF-as-plugin is just plain flaky.

Hi Kelly,

I'll gather together the other information as soon as I can (i.e. 
later today, hopefully) but if you plug flash too fast Debian into a 
Google search box, you will see plenty of other reports of the 
problem, dating from 2006 onwards.


For some reason, Mint 9 (our previous distro, based on Ubuntu) didn't 
show the problem, using exactly the same hardware. There seems little 
doubt that it's the installation of Debian which has caused us both 
the problem - either that or it's an unbelievable coincidence.


And yes, this is all 64-bit, and I did try the Flash 11 downloaded 
direct from Adobe. Neither of us have separate video cards, Pat's mobo 
claims to emulate an nVidia GeForce 6150 SE, I'll have to dig a little 
to find mine as my box doesn't carry a sticker giving the details.

There isn't any need to escape the '+' character.

 It doesn't seem possible to run a similar test for unlink as it
 appears it only operates on 1 file at a time.  So it does seem that rm
 with the find and/or xargs options you provided is the best way to go
 (at least for this test case).

I definitely recommend using -exec rm {} + over using xargs because
the find method has been incorporated into the POSIX standard.  All
operating systems will have it.  The xargs -0 method is a GNU
extension and won't be available portably.

Once you decide to use GNU extensions (such as xargs -0) then you
might as well use a different GNU extension and use -delete instead.
In for a penny, in for a pound.  Using -delete is almost certainly the
fastest method since it doesn't spawn any external processes.

Well, it isn't emulation. If it says that, it has a GeForce 6150 chip on
the motherboard. It is odd, but not unheard of, to have an nVidia chipset
and an AMD CPU.

I am suspecting the drivers, though it could be some library or something if
all of those browsers you tried where the Debian versions. Have you tried

Re: Question about HotPlug and cciss hp storage

 On Squeeze:
 apt-get install scsitools
 /sbin/rescan-scsi-bus.sh

Humm... Nice ! For now i can't install this tools because of too many
unwanted dependencies,
but after installed it on a test server, it seems to give great results.

Thank you for all your answer.
I will make a return about the entire test later.

Maybe you have reduce my work time for this night :P

Oh, not you, Julien.  I was addressing Frank who is running Lenny's
kernel.  That said, he seems to have sorted things out on his end, as
well, and it's working for him now. :-)  I don't know the state of
support for this feature in Lenny, I only have my own system to look
at which is on Squeeze.

 My first two questions are:
 1) Do you really need Adobe Reader features or will Evince or Okular

This is my recommendation.
acroread is non-free.
Install evince or xpdf, and tell ICEWEASEL to use that.
Works great here.

 Hi,

 Quite everything is in the title. I'm running Debian Lenny (yes, I
 know, time to switch..., but haven't had time yet), and I precedently
 installed Firefox in ~/ for various reasons.

 Better to drop it in /usr/local/

 The problem is not here. The problem is that every time an update is
 done, or even quite often (I don't know if each time this happens this
 is an update as it would mean updates are very frequent!) the Firefox
 starts as if it was installed for the first time (e.g. no history, no
 bookmarks, etc.), except that
 1) my plugins/add-ons are still recognized and used,
 2) my default webpage (start page) is still OK.

 What could explain this problem? Thanks.

 Watch the places file (~/.mozilla/firefox/$PROFILE.default/places.sqlite)
 and see what happens to it on exit. (Places stores bookmarks and history)

Thanks for the trick. I'll do so.

debtags shows error

2012-02-17 Thread Hans-J. Ullrich

Hello list,

I am getting a strange errror, and I believe, the reason might be caused by 
the debian server.

Running aptitude update is showing me;:

gn ftp://ftp.de.debian.org stable/non-free Translation-de
Hole: 55 ftp://ftp.de.debian.org stable/non-free Translation-en
Ign ftp://ftp.de.debian.org stable/non-free Translation-en
W: Der debtags-Aktualisierungsprozess (/usr/bin/debtags update --local) wurde 
mit einem Fehler beendet (Code 1).

I ran strace debtags update --local and this showed me the following:



futex(0x7fa4ff8323c4, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 2147483647) = 0
close(5)= 0
munmap(0x7fa500b5c000, 4096)= 0

line. Context:
Parsing line 48) = 63
write(2, \n, 1
)   = 1
exit_group(1)   = ?



I examined package-tags, but could not see something weird, so I moved it 
away, and let it new create - with the same result. IMO the reason is in the 
debian server. BTW, in the past I got often lots of warnings, as some packages 
(like cnews) got wrong syntax for its version.

Maybe you could take a look at it?

Best regards

Hans

I find it superior to invoking a separate process; opening a pdf in
chrome is as smooth as opening a regular html page.

YMMV (and has and does, apparently).

Well, it isn't emulation. If it says that, it has a GeForce 6150 chip on
the motherboard. It is odd, but not unheard of, to have an nVidia chipset
and an AMD CPU.



Hardware's not my strong point - I didn't know whether it was just 
something claiming to be compatible with the GeForce 6150, nor that 
it was a chip rather than a card.


Pat's PC is a eMachines/Wal-Mart model, so no doubt it's slightly 
cheaper to have that combination, unusual though it might be.



I am suspecting the drivers, though it could be some library or something if
all of those browsers you tried where the Debian versions. Have you tried
any of the upstream versions? (e.g. FF tarballs, Google's Chromium repos)



No, the browsers are all from the Wheezy repositories. Now you mention 
it, IceWeasel does seem to be based on a rather old version of 
Firefox. I'll try grabbing at least Firefox and Chromium direct from 
the sites. Watch this space...

But since that is nonfree it isn't in the free Chromium.  AFAIK only
the nonfree Chrome has the builtin Flash and Adobe and other such

Recommendations for how to watch Linux desktop from remote Windows?

2012-02-17 Thread keitho

Quick question (I think...):

Can you recommend a free and easily available software package that will
allow a Windows user to see my Linux desktop?

My brother is in another state, and I want him to be able to see my
desktop, not necessarily control it. He only uses Windows, my system is
Debian using i3wm.

Would skype do the trick? I have no experience with it. I have a pretty
low bandwidth connection...

We don't need video, or audio for that matter, since we could do this
while on the phone, if that makes it work faster.

I'm sure he doesn't want to have to load anything too complicated or
intrusive on his Windows machine...

Thanks,
Keith Ostertag

 Would skype do the trick? I have no experience with it. I have a pretty
 low bandwidth connection...

 We don't need video, or audio for that matter, since we could do this
 while on the phone, if that makes it work faster.

 I'm sure he doesn't want to have to load anything too complicated or

 I find it superior to invoking a separate process; opening a pdf in
 chrome is as smooth as opening a regular html page.

 YMMV (and has and does, apparently).

Well, I have never used Chrome enough to use it's PDF reader.

I am very conservative when it comes to browser UI, the more
it is like the Mozilla (not FF) Modern theme circa 1.0, the
happier I am, so Chrome is right out, and SeaMonkey is in ;-)

But FF2-4, IE6-9, Moz1-SM2.0 on Linux and Windows
have all given me problems when running PDFs in the
browser. Others my be luckier.

Hi Kelly,

I'll gather together the other information as soon as I can (i.e. later
today, hopefully) but if you plug flash too fast Debian into a Google
search box, you will see plenty of other reports of the problem, dating
from 2006 onwards.


I added bug to your search

Well, the built-in, home-made Chrome PDF Viewer plugin is quite nice and
smooth, and is even capable of filling in fillable forms, which you
cannot print directly for some reason (all the fields will be empty),
but which you can save (along with the info you've typed into the form,
I mean) by printing the document with the option Print to Pdf.

  Hi,
 
  When opening PDFs documents in Firefox (e.g. by clicking on a PDF
  link in a webpage), it sometimes happens to my Firefox to stuck when
  loading the PDF. The PDF seems to be completely downloaded, but does
  not load in the acrobat plug-in. However, Firefox is still stable and
  responds correctly in other tabs.
 
  It looks like there's some issue with the Firefox-acrobat reader
  plugin. I noticed this on other computers running Linux and Firefox,
  even on different distros and acroread versions.
 
  I am running Firefox 10.0.1., but have got the same problem on
  Firefox 10.0. I am running acroread 9.0 but tried with other versions
  as well.
 
  Thanks for any info.
 
 My first two questions are:
 1) Do you really need Adobe Reader features or will Evince or Okular or
 similar work for you? Poppler-based PDF readers are really very good
 nowadays.
 
 This is my recommendation.
 acroread is non-free.
 Install evince or xpdf, and tell ICEWEASEL to use that.
 Works great here.

+1 for Evince (never tried xpdf).

I'm not having any bloated proprietary crapware Ad*be Acr*bat here, thank 
you very much. Nor any G**gle Chr*me.

Singapore Taxation (19 April 2012)

2012-02-17 Thread Layna Francisco

SINGAPORE TAXATION
Budget 2012 Summary, Tax Changes, Emerging Issues and Impact on Business

Thursday, 19th April 2012 | 9:00am-5:00pm | Prince Hotel  Residence Kuala
Lumpur

With one of the lowest corporate tax rate (17%) in Asia, Singapore has an
attractive and easy to understand tax regime which makes it a conducive
location for doing business in Asia.  In fact, tax policies, flourished
with an abundance of tax incentives and concessions, has always been used
a key driver in promoting economic growth in Singapore, making it home to
many headquarters of major MNCs and financial institutions from around the
world.

Adopting a semi-territorial basis of taxation, Singapore only taxes
foreign sourced income which is remitted to Singapore.  Further, Singapore
has almost all the elements that make it attractive as a holding company
location.  Specifically, it does not tax capital gain and also offers both
automatic and discretionary exemption on foreign sourced dividend income.
Needless to say, having a wide tax treaty network with over 60 agreements
signed easily makes Singapore the preferred choice for holding strategic
investments. 

Leading experts, Teo Wee Hwee, Partner, Tax Financial Services and Paul
Griffiths, Director, Transfer Pricing and Value Chain Transformation
Services of PricewaterhouseCoopers Services LLP will keep you abreast of
the recent Singapore tax developments and will provide practical tax
planning insights.

 I was responding to an unqualified statement (I didn't see the nonfree

But by now you should know that advocates of free(dom) software [such
as myself] can be an annoying bunch.  Like a preacher where every day
is Sunday sermon day we will try to keep people from sliding down the
slippery slope without thinking about it[1].  :-)

So obviously when I heard you extolling the virtues of a nonfree
program I didn't want it to go unnoticed that it was nonfree.  It is
an important distinction that should not go unnoticed.  After all this
is a Debian mailing list and Debian is all about free(dom) software.

 google-chrome in linux has no builtin Flash (at least not in the 64 bit
 version), nor does it have builtin Adobe. The pdf reader it uses by
 default, is, well, the Chrome PDF Viewer, a builtin house plugin.  

I did not know that.  Thanks for the information.  On Windows that was
one of their original talking points about Chrome was that it was
fully integrated and so didn't need to keep external components such
as Flash upgraded separately.  It was supposed to be one stop
shopping.  And therefore more secure since Chrome would upgrade itself
and therefore the entire Internet bundle would be always up to date.
I assumed it was the same on GNU/Linux versions too.  If it isn't then
I wonder what is the real difference then?  What makes Chrome nonfree?

In Chromium if I open a pdf document it will open an external document
viewer to handle it.  Evince in my case.

If you have ntfs-3g and fuse, nothing, it should be automatically handled 
by your DE (gnome).

I'd take a look at dmesg when you connect the disk, it could be a
