Thanks for your answer Andreas. I did the same, except for I don't know 
how to restart the daemon during the wake up sequence. Can you tell me? I 
still think this is not the elegant way to solve the problem, but at least 
it works. If anyone knows a nicer solution, please tell us. BTW, do you 
think, its a bug in kernel acpi code?

System Wait kill MySQL/PostgreSQL performance ?

2004-09-10 Thread Steffen Neumann
Hi,

I have a problem importing data from Flat Files
into either MySQL or PostgreSQL databases.
Importing some 6 million lines takes 
as few as 60 seconds on a fast Opteron server,
and will not finished overnight on my 1.5Ghz Centrino Laptop.
Top shows the Laptop is stuck in 9x% Wait.

I am using the bulk load mechanism of both RDBMS (load data or copy from
file). I tried disabling the db logfiles, used ext2 instead of ext3 for
their data, to no avail.

System is sarge, Kernel is a 2.6.8.1, PostgreSQL 7.4.5 and MySQL 4.0.12,
noflushd is disabled, DMA is on for hda. Is there any laptop-specific
setting done in debian which could cause the slowdown ? 

Yours,
Steffen

 
dev/hda:
 multcount=  0 (off)
 IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
 unmaskirq=  0 (off)
 using_dma=  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly =  0 (off)
 readahead= 256 (on)

 You might want to benchmark your disks (Opteron server & laptop) with
 hdparm -t and -T.

No, it's not a bug in the kernel acpi code.  What can it do?  You have a 
button that's used to do two things - sleep and wakeup.  All it tells the 
kernel is that it has been pressed.

The same problem occurs with LID events.  Most, if not all, LIDs seem to send 
a counter of the number of times they've been pressed, so you could just test 
for even/odd - but you don't know whether the lid was open or closed when the 
system booted.

Anyway, for any such event you put both the deactivation and the reactivation 
code in the same script:

# deactivate code here
echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep
# good idea to sleep for a moment to let things wake up properly
sleep 1 
# activate code here

- because the script is still running when the machine comes out of 
hibernation.

Portege 3500 disk problem booting with knoppix-terminalserver

2004-09-10 Thread Javier Candeira
I am trying to install Debian on my Tosh Portege 3500 through PXE and 
knoppix-terminalserver (no cd, and it does not boot from USB either).

It boots from network very well, it is usable despite screen resolution 
being limited to 800x600, but it does not recognise the filesystem in 
the main disk.

Friends tell me it would be ok if I wanted to wipe the disk, that the 
problem is not with the physical device, but I need to dual-boot, and I 
want to respect my XP partition.

Anyone on the same boat, or who can help from a nearby one?

good PCMCIA videocards for Debian?

2004-09-10 Thread Javier Candeira
I find my Toshiba Portege 3500's videocard not good enough for some of 
the uses I want for it, and I wonder if any of you has used a PCMCIA 
video card with Debian.

I don't need hardcore-gaming-level performance, but I do need some 
fairly good 3D capabilities for demonstrations and lectures (I teach art 
schools and show them videogames, would like to be able to leave the 
desktop at home).

And if you are going to tell me to get an M200, well, I will buy yours 
if it is *really, really* cheap. And with a 3 year guarantee. But thanks 
anyway.

Netgear Wg511 "debian way" for wireless confiuration

2004-09-10 Thread aec
Hello, 

I have just subscribed to this list and searched the archive
for an answer to my problem with mixed results.

I have a Dell inspiron 8200 that used to run Gentoo, however
last week I decided that I wanted Debian back on this laptop
and intalled from the sarge-rc1-installer, a brand new Sid
install. I then upgraded my kernel to 2.6.8

I have a netgear Wg511 802.11g wireless pcmcia card along with 
built in ethernet (which I am using to write this)

I followed some pretty involved howto's on the gentoo user forums
to finally get wireless working under Gentoo and am afriad I now have
to ask for help here to do this with Debain.

My card uses the prism54 driver/chipset. I have this built into the
kernel:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] linux # grep -i prism .config
# Prism GT/Duette 802.11(a/b/g) PCI/Cardbus support
CONFIG_PRISM54=y


I have pcmcia services running:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # /etc/init.d/pcmcia start
Starting PCMCIA services: cardmgr[3418]: watching 2 sockets
done.

I apt-cache search'ed wireless and saw a ton of packages, with
some looking a little bit promising

wireless-tools - Tools for manipulating Linux Wireless Extensions
wmwave - Monitor status of an 802.11 wireless ethernet link
libiw27 - Wireless tools - library
wavemon - Wireless Device Monitoring Application

I am not sure what I need to install here and what are just auxiliary
applications for fine tuning or somesuch.

Is there a debian specific guide some one could point me too?

I think i can manage by googling, but its turning up a sort of
howto avalanche with many being only 802.11b specific, or specific 
to another distro or just plain outdated. Have things changed now that
2.6 has support built in for many of these cards? 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi There
I have exactly the same card as you and i briefly followed the wiki on
prism54.org
http://prism54.org/phpwiki/Prism54%20Debian%20HowTo?PHPSESSID=4ee80d5d53d59f2451bec907d2f05d41
if you set it up on gentoo then i presume you know how to setup the the
firmware
apt-get install wireless-tools
and then i used ifconfig to see if the card exists
ifconfig -a

it should be eth1, so i added the following to /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless-essid ESSIDHERE
wireless-channel CHANNELHERE
wireless-key KEY HERE

then just ifup eth1 you should have networking. I'am currently writing a
howto on this so if you still have problems let me know and i'll get it
done quicker.

Cheers

Quick answer from someone with wireless (though not yours and not 'g'):

wireless-tools should be enough

After that 'iwconfig' should show your wireless device, at which point you can configure it by adding it to /etc/network/interfaces (See 'man interfaces').

Re: Netgear Wg511 "debian way" for wireless confiuration

2004-09-10 Thread Tom von Schwerdtner




Quick answer from someone with wireless (though not yours and not 'g'):

wireless-tools should be enough

After that 'iwconfig' should show your wireless device, at which point you can configure it by adding it to /etc/network/interfaces (See 'man interfaces').

Hello, 

I have just subscribed to this list and searched the archive
for an answer to my problem with mixed results.

I have a Dell inspiron 8200 that used to run Gentoo, however
last week I decided that I wanted Debian back on this laptop
and intalled from the sarge-rc1-installer, a brand new Sid
install. I then upgraded my kernel to 2.6.8

I have a netgear Wg511 802.11g wireless pcmcia card along with 
built in ethernet (which I am using to write this)

I followed some pretty involved howto's on the gentoo user forums
to finally get wireless working under Gentoo and am afriad I now have
to ask for help here to do this with Debain.

My card uses the prism54 driver/chipset. I have this built into the
kernel:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] linux # grep -i prism .config
# Prism GT/Duette 802.11(a/b/g) PCI/Cardbus support
CONFIG_PRISM54=y


I have pcmcia services running:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # /etc/init.d/pcmcia start
Starting PCMCIA services: cardmgr[3418]: watching 2 sockets
done.

I apt-cache search'ed wireless and saw a ton of packages, with
some looking a little bit promising

wireless-tools - Tools for manipulating Linux Wireless Extensions
wmwave - Monitor status of an 802.11 wireless ethernet link
libiw27 - Wireless tools - library
wavemon - Wireless Device Monitoring Application

I am not sure what I need to install here and what are just auxiliary
applications for fine tuning or somesuch.

Is there a debian specific guide some one could point me too?

I think i can manage by googling, but its turning up a sort of
howto avalanche with many being only 802.11b specific, or specific 
to another distro or just plain outdated. Have things changed now that
2.6 has support built in for many of these cards? 

Thanks in advance for any help!
