Nouveau!
This has the "gallium" hardware acceleration code now and this is fantastic.My usual tests (using 3.1 kernel version): Chromium-BSU space invadors runs flawlessly Peguin racer would seem to run fine but has large artifacts, at least on my PCI express card which will run off latest and greatest nvidia on Sid. Thought painting background graphics was the problem but disabling this did not help, just that the artifact is blank instead of mountain. Flightgear most likely will not run if penguin racer will not. Might major complaint about the nvidia drivers is the thrashing of the console by some douibling of the lines or interlacing. Nouveau does not have this problem but switches to a much smaller font. This is just fine. However, every font on KDE looks substantually smaller as well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: changing window managers in debian 6.0.4
Thanks Indulekha and Johan for the suggestions. Indulekha, making a package is an intriguing idea, but probably too ambitious for me at the moment. Johan, your net is much more suggestive than mine :) I did google around but didn't see that method. There's also apparently yet another way, which is not as systematic as the ones suggested by Indulekha and Johan, and sort of similar to the ~/.xsession, but to do it in ~/.xinitrc. That is from Pierre-Philipp Braun: http://pbraun.nethence.com/doc/wm/windowmaker.html I appreciate everybody's help in setting up my debian system. dan On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 6:36 AM, Indulekha wrote: > Dan Hitt > This is a sort of subquery to the question of how to change window >> managers.

Is > there any way round this that folks know please? It seems a pity to > spoil all the work done at the final step! > > Thanks > Sharon. Eight-dot-three is technically 12 characters. I wouldn't be surprised if the culprit is genisoimage and not k3b. It looks like the default filesystem is ISO9660. The man page doesn't say which level, but Level 1 can't handle long filenames. If the filename length matters, I use the "-l" switch to enable full 31-characters. There are other options that enable longer filenames. "man genisoimage" is your friend. I find it amazing that splitting an iso file results in something a DVD player can read. Actually, this could be the problem too, depending on how the meta information about the filesystem is stored. As others have said, it's probably best if you create multiple DVD-sized iso files rather than chopping up one giant file. It sure seems like there would be some script out there that handles disk spanning, but nothing came up with my initial google search. Maybe because everyone else does what I do, which is fire up Brasero and select the files by hand?

Hugo, despite being complex in appearance shorewall is 'easy' to set up for a strong firewall with example files provided with the installation. The installation can be a work in progress if you're curious, without starting it until you're ready. Don't forget that /etc/default/shorewall directory unless you like starting shorewall manually at every boot. I used to use the arno-iptables-firewall an even simpler installation for a strong firewall but the script that runs arno-iptables-firewall can be adjusted to do whatever exotic requirements you may need just like shorewall. Hugo, what would be really impressive is if 'you' started using mutt as your email client.

Please provide more info about how you've tried it so we can help you solve why it isn't working for you. (either in this thread or in the other.) Then, generate *multiple* ISOs, one for each disc you're going to burn, and use -r and -J arguments to genisoimage when you create these ISOs. The individual DVD images (which will be no larger than about 4.3G if you use datapacker correctly) will have the filenames correct. Burn each of these ISOs individually. The approach you are using is doomed to failure. You're creating a gigantic ISO, which can't use Rock Ridge and/or Joliet due to the size, and so your filenames are limited to a max of I think 8 characters without spaces, which will make distinguishing *any* 2,976 files hard, even if you remove spaces and rename files to try and help. You're then splitting the ISO image up - which cannot be used again until recombined - and burning each bit individually, *as a file within another ISO image, one per disc*!

Hello,
IIRC a distributed lock manager (DLM for short) is needed whenever an
active/active resource is used, e.g. a shared filesystem. OCFS2 and
GFS2 implement their own DLMs.
For an active/passive cluster, you'd need to define your resources and
a floating IP with stickyness WRT to those resources.
A DRBD in master/slave would be more appropriate IMHO.
Others might have other experiences/opinions or corrections.

Re: Anyway of keeping gnome2 while upgrading from Squeeze to Wheezy
Please post on the list, if you prefer so. Wait for Mate 1.2.3 because there is a bug with a library that blocks partially the upgrades on Wheezy, at the moment I am on Wheezy with Mate 1.2.0 and I've read that it the bug is fixed on 1.2.3 version. After that it should be smooth and easy.

Script request for files truncating with genisoimage
i am using genisoimage on this folder ./home/boztu/Music/Irish Celtic Music Collection Version 2 which contains 2976 mp3s, but it is truncating the file names after the first word of their title. It appears to be doing this at the first space that it encounters, so I'm hoping someone can help me by suggesting a script that I can run that will remove all spaces in the file names, before .mp3, to enable genisoimage to run properly. The iso it creates is 18.9gbs in size and I then run split to make it into 4gb sized files to be burnt to dvds. Can you help me please? I realise that I'm asking a lot but script writing is not something that I'm very good at and dont know where to start.

That could be the common link for those who receive these messages (Indulekha is also using an external gateway and also gets them).

Nowadays I usually just put things on USB sticks or external hard drives, so there's rarely a reason for me to write to optical media. IDK why none of the GUI disk writing programs can do it automatically, though -- I do know windos media player can do this automatically because I did it once for a friend. It's about the only thing I was ever really impressed by in windos, LOL. I dragged and dropped 77 GB of music into wmp's burning screen (whatever they call it) and it immediately proposed a solution.

I have the distinct impression that the best one can do with "split" is to end up with mere *fragments* of the original iso, which must then be reassembled to be useful. Has this changed?

Backing up dual-layer DVD images to single layer DVDs? Or Blu-Ray images? It seems like a very niche problem. With data images (as oppose to DVD Video images or others where the specific filesystem layout can be important), repacking is almost always going to be a wiser choice, especially if you choose an archive format that handles splitting natively (e.g. zip, or non-free rar) and in-archive checksumming (again zip, rar…) -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Well, I've been bitten a few times by the logical fallacy referred to by the Latin phrase _post hoc ergo propter hoc_, so I'm dubious concerning the usb trail, although I'm as ignorant as I am dubious. For every system freeze I have ever experienced, the guilty party was my graphics card/driver combination, notably, my nvidia card with the closed-source driver.

I haven't had experienced any of that issues in any of my systems so I still find ReaiserFS the most suitable filesystem for me. The only big drawback I see for ReiserFS v3 is that it does not receive more enhancements nor features just patches, which can leave your installation in a very delicated state if something goes wrong. OTOH, I don't know about the current status of ReiserFS v4, I have not heard any news since many years :-? > XFS might also have long file check times.
