Re: AUTOFS to mount either via SMB or NFS, how?

I'm am not sure if doing this is possible with the kernel-based autofs automounter. What I am sure about that this is possible using the AMD automounter, which is also a Debian package. Take a look at http://tinyurl.com/2eafe and in particular section 9.6.1., which is an expansion of the what I found in http://tinyurl.com/2hvra. The above deals only with the 'fallback' handling, but it would be trivial to specify that the fallback is not to mounted with fstype nfs, but with smb instead.

How so? It is extremely bad for it. I gave it the most simple of tests. 2 lists. That's it. 2 lists. I'm on the same 2 lists elsewhere. In GMail it is a mess and that mess stems from what they are doing. On the traditional client or even another webmail client it isn't as much of a mess. > It's use of Labels is simliar to any other mail application segmenting > messages into different Folders. Granted. But tell me how I can get a clear, concise view of new mail in a reasonable manner using labels. First problem, labels include all archived mail. Of course since they make it so difficult to actually delete mail it means that in less than an hour or two using labels to separate things out is a complete and total mess. There's no clear deliniation between new and old mail. > Tho, their filter rules are adequate but they could use more options, > some of which they are already working on. You'd think they'd just have a simple option of allowing complete headers to be filered on so we could use "List-id: debian-user@" as a filter. Nope. > Their spam filters do require a good bit of training and have a > problem with flagging legitimate messages as spam in the beginning. Quite so. > I'm curious as to why you consider Hotmail as better? Because Hotmail is not taking the tried and true methods of the past and throw them out the window. With Hotmail the basics are covered up front. Folders, check. Filters to get mail into those folders (not great, but hey, it's Hotmail) check, the ability to see at a glance what folders have new mail and be able to find it at a glance, know who its from at a glance and what it's about, check. Those aren't possible with GMail. Great, so this "conversation" consists of Steve, Daved, James, John and Louie. Only one of those is readily identifiable, the rest are rather common names. On my main client, Hotmail and my own Webmail (Squirrelmail) I can at least tell at a glance who it is from, identify relevant and current threads as opposed to "Oh, this one was replied to recently" and, here's the kicker, selectively delete messages. In GMail you either archive (which causes problems), delete whole threads (thereby running the risk of deleting the one or two messages you want to keep) or go through a 5-step process per message to delete it. That's a fundimental and basic problem stemming from their attempt to throw out the tried and true method of reading mail and replace it with something new but ultimately inferior. Great concept, could be better integrated into how things are done instead of trying to foist another screwy way of doing things that will have net vets gnashing their teeth for years to come just like top posting has done. >.< Geh, sorry Daved for the duplicate, forgot to reset the to field on the 2nd edit. Uhm, but the good thing is I forgot one more point. 2 lists. Debian-user and Exim. 1Mb a day. Which means under the flawed archive method this account lasts a little over 2 years. Just slightly less than "forever". Of course this isn't a full mail load and my mail load, outside of debian-user, is actually surprisingly light. My parents, for example, whoa not many high-volume lists like d-u but LOTS of moderate volume lists. 1Mb a day is an understatement for them.

Re: Wierd Question
Definately. Here in Berkeley, the UC leans in the BSD direction, as I'm sure you can imagine (this is not true of every UC. I hear that Davis uses a lot of Solaris and Linux machines). I know from friends that the City College in San Francisco also uses *nix...my impression from talking to various people around the Bay Area is that every educational institute here uses *nix pretty heavily.

Re: AUTOFS to mount either via SMB or NFS, how?
Alexis, exactly what I was looking for thanks. Cheers Brian Alexis Huxley wrote: I tried two (almost identical) entries in the map dataset for autofs, but if the first one is not successfull, it doesnt even try the second entry. I'm am not sure if doing this is possible with the kernel-based autofs automounter. What I am sure about that this is possible using the AMD automounter, which is also a Debian package. Take a look at http://tinyurl.com/2eafe and in particular section 9.6.1., which is an expansion of the what I found in http://tinyurl.com/2hvra.

Gnucash with Postgres backend.
Hello, I discovered Debian's Gnucash does not provide the Postgres backend, because it is being revamped to support all of Gnucash' features. However, it seems to me that this process isn't really getting on. But, I'd really like to make use of the postgres backend (I did so until last week, when I switched from Gentoo back to Debian, without any serious problems). Is there some place where the postgres backend is provided? (I understand the risks involved with losing data, but I'm willing to take them).

Google seems to market GMail with the "Search not Sort" idea, which I've written to them that I think is a mistake. So many people are used to the concept of folders and filters to easily sort out mail that their idea of "just clump it all together and search for what you want to find" isn't what anybody is going to do. When I sign up for a new mailinglist, I immediately create a Label for it. Then I create a filter. In this case the Label is "Debian" and the filter is: Matches: to:(lists.debian.org) Do this: skip Inbox, apply label "Debian" When I sign in to GMail I can immediately see if there's new mail on the list based on the bolding of the Label (and the #, Debian (9)). Clicking the label link I have a nice threaded view of all mail sent to the list with New topics or replies displayed in Bold.

I would second that statement. Here at Berkeley (and I believe at most universities too), students are taught programming concepts and theories, rather than actual languages. While the first semester CS course focuses on Scheme (a Lisp dialect), the goal is to teach students to think as programmers. After completing the class, students should be able to transfer their skills to any programming language. > > > > majored in... oh.. for example, Driver > > development. Well, topics like driver development are covered in upper-division CS and EE courses. I don't think they would serve well as majors, though. It really narrows down the field of your experience.

An apt-cache search libexif gives me libexif10 (which I've installed) but no libexif9. So what can I do about this? I've installed Debian with the sarge net installer, then upgraded to sid. Thanks a lot! Regards, -- Stelian Iancu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to check whether a RAID array is still consistent?
Hi all, A few days ago my software-RAID1 array failed because the two disks both had bad blocks. Probably bad luck, but I find it even more unbeliveable that the two disks would both fail so shortly after each other. So I suspect that one of the disks was having problems for some time already but these went unnoticed because they were covered by the RAID mirroring. So..: is there a way to periodically check whether RAID disks are still in sync? Preferable without unmounting the filesystem (similar to the background rebuilding after adding a disk to an array).

Mouse problem with testing
I have a problem with a USB Genius KYE wheelemouse running on testing beta4 i386. Basically it just moves up and down. I have tried more different settings than you can wave a stick at including making this troublesome mouse the only pointer as well as combining it with a PS/2 one using SendCoreEvents. I also tried taking the XF86Config from another older testing-based machine and tweaking it as necessary for the video hardware. The list of kernel modules loaded looks the same where input/usb/mouse is concerned. No problem running Knoppix on the same machine and the same mice (tried two) work elsewhere. There is also a PS/2 mouse and I notice that on other Redhat type machines data appears on /dev/input/mice for the PS/2 mouse as well as any USB mice yet this does not happen on the Debian machine. So there is something different about whatever is behind /dev/input/mice but I can't find any useful documentation on it. Any ideas ?

Re: XF86Config problem serverflags section or xset - solved partly
I found a solution for the xset problem I had. I had to change the line in home/user/.xsession: '/usr/bin/galeon --display=:0 -ndf' with /usr/bin/galeon --display=:0 -ndf | xset s off -display ":0" That was the only way to execute xset running kiosk-mode. But I do not understand completely why I could not put in the bottom of the .xsession file. Is it so that when .xsession has executed /usr/bin/galeon, the rest of .xsession is not read? I tried to put the xset command in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc as well, with no success. And still I am curious of XF86Config's serverflag section, why it did not work as in redhat. If some Xxperts has time to look through the problem (description following by previous messages), I am curious to know the correct syntax in section "serverflags" Pigeon wrote: On Wed, Jun 23, 2004 at 01:58:42PM +0200, Paal Marker wrote: I need to prevent a box from blanking out.

Correct on this system will be 'xset s off -display ":0"' But the problem is that anyway where I put that command to execute , be in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc or /home/kiosk/.xsession or wherever it does not work. However, if I log in remote by ssh and execute xset s off -display ":0" from bash prompt, it works fine. According to man xset, the xset command must be executed after all applications, so I have tried to execute it from the last line of /home/user/.xsession. I had the same problem making kiosks with redhat as well, and ended up by solving it with the serverflags section in XF86Config. Continuing exploring the section "serverflags" problem: From linux single start and the startx I get the error message: Config Error: /etc/X11/XF86Config:269 (wich is the line where the first option in the section serverflags starts) _Option__ "BlankTime" "0" Server flags keyword expected Remark here that it is the Option word that is underlined in the message, the underlning is made by ^^^ these characters. Does it tell me that 'Option' is an invalid keyword in this section? The Xserver used is xserver-s3 I will be happy for advice for any solution here, being by XF86Config and serverflags, or how to execute xset s off Refer to top, the xset problem is solved. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

NFS mount very very slow
Dear list subscribers, At first I thought my command: mount -t nfs 192.168.0.6:/etc /mnt/nfs ... had failed. It seemed to have hanged. I tried to kill it with Ctrl^C, then with 'kill -SIGKILL ', killing the Konsole tabbed terminal ... but with no luck. The process just would not die. Eventually, I found, to my surprise, that that the 'mount' command had not only withstood all my attempts to smother it, but it also succeeded after all. I don't know whether it took 15 minutes or two hours, but whatever the time lag was, it it had taken far too long. can anyone tell me how to work out what the problem could be?

That's something, little though it is. And I _think_ the third point release has been put off because of sarge. So ... ?? Look, the issue WAS "testing" vs "unstable". Some people think that not only the decision but its implementation is a simple matter. It isn't. My ISP does what many do - set up a multiple mirror site for the use of its members. Debian is included. I'd like to start up a Debian "testing" system from an install CD - I gather you can't do this for the "unstable" branch. In order to do this I really need jigdo - to just download a complete CD (or CDs) as I can with every other Linux distro or BSD, is de rigeur. BTW what is wrong with a clear major/minor dot numeric system, rather than woody/sarge/sid/potato/whatever=stable/testing/unstable(which is really quite stable anyway)/something ? MY ISP's relevant debian directories look like this: /debian-cd/hurd directory You don't want anything under hurd. It's incomplete, and probably less stable than unstable.

If you had an older Woody it would be a good way to get your CDs updated. Whither testing (sarge?) Check the Debian Weekly News and look for announcements about Debian Installer betas. Get the latest and use that: it's one CD and not especially large. Install the rest off the net if you can. What does all this mean? And Monique and others think this is simple???

Re: Lots of problems - help please
Thanks for all of the help from everyone - eh, I sounded quite desperate, but I was really pissed off that day, returning from a 10 hour shift with only a few precious hours to spend at home and my debian giving me shit for no reason. Due to all of the suggestions I've been given here, I've played around a lot with the apt tools and I decided to give downgrading my xlibs a try. All of my problems, except for having to startx twice for X to recognize my mouse, are gone. I downgraded from xlibs.4.3.0.dfsg.1-5 to dfsg.1-4. The sluggishness of my mouse cursor, the broken alt-key (alt + letter wasn't recognized by any programs anymore.. for instance for opening menus or for shortcuts), the broken alt-tabbing. I'm sure that with something major like this, developers will be aware of it.. should I post it somewhere else anyway? I guess unstable is all about finding things that break (I had to add testing in my sources list to get that version of xlibs as well).

Hi, Unfortunately I am having the same problems. I was on holiday for 3 weeks, so wasn't able to get this done earlier. I searched the archives, and found the link mentioned.

problem with gnome-setting-daemon
Hi I have a problem. I have looked at many thread and still cannot find my solution. I have : x-window-system 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5 kernel 2.4.23 gnome 2.6.1 and when running the gnome-settings-daemon I have the following -- ** (gnome-settings-daemon:2162): WARNING **: Could not activate the XKB configuration The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 112 error_code 1 request_code 0 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) -- It is supposed to work. I have removed everything in my home directory and still I have this problem any idea how to fix it? Thanks Manu __ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

By definition, the client does that. aha -- suddenly i become the teacher. it's not "by definition" -- it's "in the VAST majority of cases". as in "very seldom, and it's surely suspicious behavior that should be investigated by at least three government agencies at the highest level, there will be a case for forwarding server ports to the client, not that there's anything wrong with that." MOST traffic, by far, is initiated by a client that connects to a server. but sometimes there's an instance (quickmate from janzabar in this case) where after the main connection is established, the user activates a function on the server, and the server initiates another connection to the client -- in this instance to activate the quickmate menu. quickmate opens the local/client port, listening for instructions from the server; when the server says (at the user's request) "do this menu" it pops up and away we go. in fact, until yesterday, i myself wondered when you would possibly ever need a remote-to-local connection. voila! here's one (perhaps the very single only one ever, in the entire history of the universe, since the dawn of time, ever). cases like this one is why the bright folks who came up with port forwarding for ssh decided to not only have locate-to-remote tunnels, but remote-to-local tunnels as well. that is, not "-L" but "-R". see the ssh manpage. even brighter, the ssh virtuosi also managed to allow for specifying a HOST to beam the remote end to. in our case we don't need another hop, but the option is there and it's an awesome one to have available when it's needed. i never would have been able to implement that kind of genius, but i'm glad someone did. smart folks, there. :) > Here's what openvpn does: > traceroute to 192.168.1.252 (192.168.1.252), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets > 1 ns (192.168.9.4) 0.359 ms 0.226 ms 0.209 ms > 2 gw (192.168.9.1) 0.413 ms 192.168.7.254 (192.168.7.254) 0.929 ms > 0.552 ms > 3 192.168.1.252 (192.168.1.252) 1058.580 ms 1103.616 ms 1066.529 ms > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ > > The internet is between 2 & 3.

No, that isn't a problem until you realize that if you want message 61 out of a 200 message thread you need to delete, one-at-a-time, 199 messages to preserve that one. I'm not sure if they're linking threads by references/in-reply-to or just by subject but I doubt it is by just references/in-reply-to alone. So what happens to that message you wanted saved the next time that subject comes up and you delete the thread? Chances are it would be deleted, too. > There's some things that I don't like about it...

Quite so. This is the main problem with the "don't delete anything" way of thinking. With deleting of all save a select few messages things work better. In GMail the labels are meaningless because I have to archive it and then mark it as read to keep the messages from showing up over and over again. I could delete but I've explained the general problem with that and it still is more convoluted than need be. Open thread, expand message, select menu, select delete. No thanks. :/ -- Steve C.

aptitude and backports with the same name as unstable packages
Hi, 1) I have a woody box where i installed some backports of X and other programs. When i started aptitude, it gave me a lot of broken packages because it wanted to upgrade the X packages from unstable ( i have unstable sources in my package list too) and marked the packages as broken. Anyway, i got that to go away by putting the x packages on hold. I'm not sure if this is a good sollution in the long run but it seems so for the moment. 2) The version of checkinstall and installwatch from backports.org don't contain a string in the version name so their version is the same as the version from unstable. When going to the package discription i can only see for instance for checkinstall p 1.5.3-3 p 1.5.3-1 So i can't distinguish between the unstable and the backports version. Is there anyway i can view the location or to install from a particular location? Thanks, Benedict -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Good Linux backup program
Hi! Just wanting to know if anyone on here has any recommendations for backup programs for my Debian box. I'm looking for a program with a nice, easy to use gui, which can do automated backups of parts of the filesystem and then store the backup on a smb mount. I'd like something that makes it easy to extract individual files as well as extracting the whole archive. Does anything like this exist? BTW, I use KDE so anything that integrates well with that is a bonus. Thanks, Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I found an answer to this part of my question. Just as i posted it, i tried googling with a different searchterm. I thought that the keyword was location but it's origin that's the key to a succesful google session. I found that one can pin against a location so by putting the following code in your /etc/apt/preferences file, the files from backports.org always end up on top and get installed. Package: * Pin: origin www.backports.org Pin-Priority: 850 (where 850 > pin priority of the biggest other priority number in the preferences file) Maybe there are other ways put that's the one i found.

When I got Woody talking to my HP OfficeJet G85, I ended up compiling hpijs and hpoj from source code, apt-get installed cupsys, cupsys-bsd, cupsys-client and cupsys-driver-gimpprint. You wouldn't need the hpoj packages, obviously. The cupsys package is the main cups package. Cupsys-bsd is required if you want to have the print command lpr, for those programs that use it. Cupsys-driver-gimpprint is pretty obvious, as is cupsys-client. After installing all that, restart cups to make sure it sees the hpijs drivers (just in case you compiled it after apt-get installing cups). Then point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:631 and you can configure your printer. When it asks for a password, it wants the root password for your machine. Note: you will need to have any necessary modules already insmod'ed or modprobed, but it sounds like you do, since it's working as much as it is.

Re: saving iptables rules?
Does anyone know if there is a plan to fix/address this before the next release? Also, could someone give me a copy of the old script "/etc/init.d/iptables". I need a way to save my rules, as we all do. Thanks. Ralph Darryl Luff wrote: On Sun, 13 Jun 2004 08:15 am, Ralph Crongeyer wrote: Darryl Luff wrote: Ralph Crongeyer wrote: How does one save iptables rules in Debian "Unstable/SID"? I've tried iptables-save and get some output with no errors, but when I reboot all my rules are gone? Is there a "Debian way" of doing this? Rather ... If you dont have the init scripts (which are apparently deprecated) I think the rules aren't automatically restored on reboot. In Testing at least there are some notes in /usr/share/doc/iptables/README.Debian.gz that show how to do it using ifupdown, which doesn't quite seem right to me unless you have seperate per-interface rules, but on a single interface box I suppose it doesnt matter. . I guess it doesn't matter for a single interface but it hardly seems like the best solution either. At least to me. It seems there used to be a script in /etc/init.d/ called iptables to start and stop and save rules. It's all over google. But that script doesn't exist on any of my four SID boxes, unless it is provided by another package? It's deprecated in current SID so the only machines that have it are ones that have been around for a while and been upgraded. There must be a better way to handel this than ifupdown? Does anyone know of plans to bring the script back? Or other plans for another solution? I don't know what the plan is. I don't like using ifupdown because you'd have to manage a separate rule script for each interface. But I've never liked the init.d script because I normally expect things in there to be actually starting daemons. But come to think of it that's not valid anyway. I think the logical place would be at the end of /etc/init.d/networking. It could look for /etc/network/firewall and run it if it existed. This is the file that sets up routing and anti-spoofing, and the firewall should be configured as soon as possible after the network comes up. Darryl.

Re: Another "testing" vs "unstable" question
On 2004-06-25, Brian Astill penned: > > And Monique and others think this is simple??? When did I say that? If you're referring purely to the naming conventions, I agree that they're confusing, but no one's been able to come up with a better way to handle it. Usually, the people proposing new names are, well, new to the system, and the names they suggest are based on a faulty understanding of the characteristics of the various options. Also, the devs have made it clear that changing the names would be a major pain in the butt; I guess I believe that there are more valuable issues on which they can spend their time. There are no one-word descriptions of the characteristics of the three options, so any name is going to be slightly flawed. It seems to be human nature to assume that stable->testing->unstable is a spectrum from rock-solid to flakey, and that may be the case at any given time, but that's not what defines them. I guess you just have to read enough debates that finally the lightbulb goes on and you "get" it.
