added second /dev/md1 to system by hand into /etc/fstab and system won't boot cause udev doesnt create device /dev/md1
Dear Gurus, I have copied over my home directory to a new drive which is a raid 1 software raid. I added the corresponding correct information to /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf. ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=1 UUID=69547109-c527-6986-fab9-5ff707241177 and i replaced the old drive entry in /etc/fstab with the new information /dev/md1 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 however the boot from grub fails and drops me into a partial state because the device /dev/md1 is not existent. I can manually create mknod /dev/md1 b 9 1 and then mdadm -A /dev/md1 and then mount it but this is clearly wrong. What do I do to enable my system to boot normally with this new configuration?? ie what tells the boot process to create /dev/md1 and assemble the raid? thanks Mitchell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Re: set-selections warnings
Hi Wanderer, Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm experiencing the exact same problem when trying to clone a system into a fresh wheezy installation. I've Googled around and it seems like we're the only two people on the planet with this problem. Let me know if you've found anything interesting. Otherwise I think I'll open a bug report with dpkg.

motion: problem finding codec
Hello, Today out of the blue, the 'motion' (ver 3.2.12-3.2) application on my Debian Testing (kernel 3.2.0-3-amd64) box has stopped working. It appears as if it cannot find the necessary av codec.

You have to recompile the kernel modules every time the kernel is updated, if that changes the ABI, which is not unusual at all.

Re: OT: man in the middle attack ?
The freedom to offend? I'm sorry, but there is something wrong here. I think someone is misunderstanding netiquette (or etiquette) and good manners with freedom/censorship by law enforcement. A good mannered people is not forbidden to curse. He freely chooses not to. Well, in some cultures, you are really forbidden to curse. In others, they allow you to do so only in certain places (like a football stadium, for instance). In a live person contact, a group can choose not to hang out with a guy that is disturbing. That is the freedom to be with people you like, people that contribute to society, that you can develop a friendship. In an internet group, it's not the group that moves around to hang out somewhere else. It's the disturbing guy that is supposed to fit or go away. If the majority of the group is for people who curse, mistreat persons, and alike, Miss Manners will leave. But usually, a big group that has a very strong philosophy of sharing and contributing to society will have a majority of good mannered people. This is a comforting thought, isn't it? After all, we all (or at least the great majority I strongly believe), do not want Miss Manners to leave. We like her. ;) Beco.

Shrink the Windows partition if necessary. Or get rid of Windows. Install Debian. Couldn't be easier. You are in control with this.

For one thing, you can pick what goes into it, such as getting a motherboard that is known to run Debian (or whatever flavor) well, and customize to your heart's content. Second, You can avoid that pesky Windows entirely. And third, you will be able to build a better machine than you can buy. As far as installing a dist from scratch, the installers are pretty good these days, and you should be able to do it easily from a DVD. Get the amd64 ISO for Wheezy and burn it to a disc. Boot the disc, AND bOB'S YOUR UNCLE. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Installing Debian on Windows 7 machine?
Since my current box is still having random lockups with no solution in sight I am likely to be purchasing a new computer soon. It will, in all likelihood come with Windows 7 pre installed. I want to load Debian on it, as well. I am familiar with www.goodbye-windows.com and www.goodbye-microsoft.com, but they both are for 32 bit Windows systems. Is there a similar website for 64 bit machines? If not, it has been a long time since I have done a totally fresh install, and even longer since I have done a fresh install on a machine with Windows on it.

cannot detect USB3 external hard disk, uas the problem
Hello. I have a Hitach Touro USB3 external hard disk. When I connected it to a USB port (the one on the front of the case, it is usb2), my Debian testing (amd64, running 3.2.0-3-amd64) does not detect the disk. /var/log/syslog reports errors and I have pasted those further below. Searching various webpages and forums resulted in narrowing down the solution to removing the "uas" module: $> sudo modprobe -r uas Now, when I connect the same hard disk to the same physical usb port, it is detected fine. Can somebody explain why this problem occurs and if there is a better solution? Thanks. HS.

Did you solve your problem(s)? I wish to do something similar, but more perhaps more restrictive. I am trying to demonstrate a possible installation bug and prove that the "bug" is not "operator error". Based on more than a half century of trouble shooting experience in a variety of environments, I will restrict the installation to: 1. a laptop dedicated to this test which will never be connected to any network, actual or virtual. 2. the hard drive will be reformatted prior to each test run. 3. the install media will be DVD 1 of 8 of Debian 6.0.5 from a commercial source. 4. preseed.cfg will be on a USB stick. I think I've found links to tell me how to point to preseed.cfg. I think it should be possible to record the post install state. I've more reading to do. Comments, hints, pointers?

Yes, but the list is the wrong place to report it. If you want the developers to take any notice, you have to file a bug report. A bug report can, I believe, be a request for something that is not there. You can complain all you like, the users can't do anything. And the fact that you think something is obviously needed, does not mean that the developers will necessarily agree with you.

Mark, I know, that this multiarch is still on the way to working, However, I see great power in it. But at the moment, I think, it is no good idea, to put essential packages into multiarch. Instead they should put those packages step-by-step into it. My mail aimed to show, what problems appear at the moment. So others (and first of all the developers) can see, what trouble appears. Chris: There is no need, to file a bugreport, as a) it is wanted, to split 64- bit and 32-bit of nvidia packages and b) it is already recognized in the list what problems appear.

Postfix 2.9.1: memcache support not build in
Hi, I'm new to the list. I have installed postfix 2.9.1 from squeeze backports to try out the new "memcache" table feature in postfix. But it seems that the .deb package has not build in the "memcache" table by default. postconf -m doesn't show me "memcache" as a build in module: btree cidr environ fail hash internal mysql pcre proxy regexp sdbm static tcp texthash unix Postmap gives me the error: postmap -q "test" memcache:/etc/postfix/memcache.cf postmap: fatal: unsupported dictionary type: memcache Installed packages: ii postfix 2.9.1-2~bpo60+1 ii postfix-mysql 2.9.1-2~bpo60+1 ii postfix-pcre 2.9.1-2~bpo60+1 I tried to download the debian source packages an recompile it with dpkg-buildpackage, but I had no luck. Same result, the "memcache" table feature is missing. But if I compile postfix from the original sources postconf show's me the "memcache" table build in by default. According to me, here must be something wrong with the debian source package. Can you give me any hint how I can get "memcache" support in debian packages? Probably is there some configuration option to change before rebuilding the package?

Good! Now you know exactly what edits to what config files that you need to undo. I reboot after it and start with a previous kernel version number - the number ends with 486, not 686 - with Rescue Mode. It started and after Ctrl+D - when it needs - it booted the gui succesfully and everything worked well. So it sounds to me like there is no problem with your system as a whole, just the boot config for the 686 kernel. I would like to start the computer with the newest available kernel version number, what ends with 686, and what were the default when I started the system before, but it doesn't work and give me the error screen what I mentioned before. Please give me help to repair this to boot the computer normally as before it was happenned. I would: Start the system the way you can, via rescue mode. Undo the edits you made before. It might be enough to replace GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1400x1050-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap" by CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" Run the same update-initramfs and update-grub commands as you did when following the guide.

Error after booting default kernel version
Hi, I've used this tutorial -> http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=60019 - yesterday, and after reboot the playmouth animation worked but before it arrived login screen it showed me a black blank screen with a flashing cursor - not mouse - and after more waiting it stayed there too. I reboot after it and start with a previous kernel version number - the number ends with 486, not 686 - with Rescue Mode. It started and after Ctrl+D - when it needs - it booted the gui succesfully and everything worked well.
