Re: Re: Help abt playing file over MODEM
Hi, I have a related problem, but mine is how to play a sound file over a modem. At the moment I am unable to send a sound file's content and have the sound audible at the other end of the line, I get noise instead. I've tried several files that are mono, 8000Hz, 8 bit. I am working on a low cost Interactive Voice Response (IVR) project using a modem connected to the COM port on a PC. My platform is Linux (Fedora 2) and am using Java (javax.comm) to send AT commands to the modem connected to the COM port and get responses from it. So far the application is able to send AT commands to the modem (US Robotics Voice Fax modem), change the modem state for example from data to voice by sending AT#CLS=8 successfully and it is even able to detect a ring and can pick up the phone. To send (play) the greeting voice file over the modem, obtaining the output stream for the COM port and then writing to it byte by byte, but at the other end of the receiver I only hear noise, kindly advise.

Trust 250 mouse - wheel problem

Thank you to H.S. and Andrea! It is now working. The point is that while

Here are some informations of my configuration if it can help somebody else:

2) I have installed:

ii pmount 0.4.4-1mount removable devices as normal user
3) In gnome-volume-properties, I set the three following options:
"Mount removable drives when hot plugged"
"Mount removable media when inserted"
"Browse removable media when inserted"
4) udev rule for my camera:
BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sd*", SYSFS{vendor}="PENTAX ",
SYSFS{model}="DIGITAL_CAMERA ", NAME="gyp-ca-%k",
SYMLINK="gyp-ca-usb%n", MODE="0660", GROUP="hal"
5) /etc/fstab line for my camera

6) /media/camera has been created before by hand

Reading the man pages of pmount it seems that a few conditions should
be verified, which I think is the case:
The mount will succeed if all of the following conditions are met:
- is a block device in /dev/
- is not handled by /etc/fstab (if it is, pmount calls
'/bin/mount ' to handle this transparently; supplying a
label is not
allowed in this case)
- is not already mounted according to /etc/mtab and
/proc/mounts
- if the mount point already exists, there is no device already
mounted at it
and the directory is empty
- is removable (i. e. on USB or FireWire bus, or
/sys/block/drive/removable == 1)
- is not locked (see below)
However when I use pmount in a terminal as a normal user ("pmount"),
it tells me:
zsh: permission denied: pmount.
Can someone having udev/hal/hotplug/gnome-volume-manager running
check the permission of the pmount file. I have:
-rwSr--r-- 1 root plugdev 22K 2004-12-16 19:24 /usr/bin/pmount
I tried to make executable this file for everybody and then I can
pmount manually the device (pmount /dev/gyp-cl-usb /stick) but it
doesn't work automatically when I insert my stick.
Well as you can see I am stuck, so any ideas are welcomed!

Hi,
Sorry I couldn't reply earlier, been a but visiting people over the
holidyas :)
Regarding your USB icon problem, I would suggest you check
1) You are 'hal' and 'plugdev' group member.
2) you have installed:
$> COLUMMNS=150 dpkg -l hal *dbus* gnome-vol* hotplug pmount | grep ^ii
ii hal0.4.2-2Hardware Abstraction Layer
ii dbus-1 0.22-3 simple interprocess messaging system

manage media
ii hotplug0.0.20040329-1 Linux Hotplug Scripts
ii pmount 0.4.3-1mount removable devices as normal user
3) that log messages appear in /var/log/syslog since the time you plug
in the USB stick till you plug it out. Why don't you list them here?
4) that you have options set to mount removable devices when plugged
in or inserted:
$> gnome-volume-properties
Other than that, I guess there is a bug at present in pmount which
will delete your mount pont in /media when you unplug your USB stick.
There is a bug report about this. It is #286936 in http://debian.org/Bugs

Re: Backups - what files can safely be omitted?
Robert S wrote: Thanks for the folks who advised me re backing up a running system. I'm just testing mondo at the moment. Looks ideal for my purposes. What files can safely be omitted from a debian system backup? Obvious ones are /var/cache/apt/archives (if you're like me an hold onto these files) and /var/spool/squid (if you use squid). Is there anything crucial in /var/log that can't be trashed? Is there anything else in /var? It all depends on how much time you want to invest into restoring your system in the event of a failure. Linus Torvalds says "Real men don't backup. They upload everything to FTP and let the rest of the world mirror it." That being said, I use two different schemes. For my server I create a systemimager backup. If something goes south on me, I can boot it from the backup image and have it restored in the time it takes to transfer the information across the network. I also create a daily tar of the systemimager image and keep a couple of weeks worth. This way I can revert to a previous state, if necesary. For my workstation I simply create a tar of /etc /home and /root and of "dpkg-get --get-selections". If something goes wrong, I reinstall with my previously selected packages, untar /etc /home and /root and then I am ready to go. This method takes longer, but is much more space efficient. I don't personally back up anything /var on my workstation, but if you run a website, then /var/www and if you run databases or store email then /var/lib and /var/mail, respectively.

Ah, that was a complication that I wasn't sure whether or not to bring up. Yes, kernel-image-2.6-686 is a metapackage [1] that always depends on the latest kernel version, so if you have it installed, running an "apt-get dist-upgrade" (not just "upgrade") will see to it that you have the latest 2.6 kernel-image package installed. I believe (but haven't verified) that if you use aptitude for upgrades instead of apt-get, your old kernel images will then be uninstalled automatically, too. [1] "metapackage" means an empty package whose only purpose is to depend upon other package(s), making it easier to install them. > I'm happy with removing the old ones myself. The only drama with the > way you explain it is: how do i know when 2.6.9 is released except by > checking for it manually every day/week/whatever? Well, other than having it done automatically by having the kernel-image-2.6-686 metapackage installed, you can for instance glance at the list of "new packages" in the aptitude UI. >> However there are often several Debian revisions of each kernel >> version; so "apt-get upgrade" WILL upgrade you from Debian release >> 2.6.8-6 to 2.6.8-7.

For kernels in stable, that's right. For kernels in unstable and testing, they may go through several iterations of adding new out-of-tree drivers and other niceties in order to make them suitable for release in the next version of stable. Right now the plan is to release 2.6.8 with sarge, so a lot of effort is being concentrated on that, with a bit less on 2.6.9 (for people who intend to keep running sid). Presumably work on 2.6.9 will soon be moved to 2.6.10. >> ...

The latter shows every package with "kernel-image" in the name; the former only shows packages that explicitly claim to provide a kernel-image.

With 'find' you can -exec on each result.
For example (note the trailing \; is required to end the exec string.
find will execute all commands until that is found.):
find /usr/src -name ".config" -exec cp {} /backup_data{} \;
{} will be expanded to the entire path of the found file. The above
line won't work because cp won't create the entire path
"/backup_data/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.9-rja/.config" :) You might
want to process {} to create a proper destination.
Hope that Helps!

kernel panic on recompiled kernel
Hi, I've been trying to recompile my kernel to a 2.6.8 one on debian sarge. But no matter what I do it seems to get kernel panic when I try to boot. See the message at http://www.persson.tm/debian_install/debian_boot_2.6.8.gif hda3 is the debianpartition mounted / with ext3 on it. I found a bunch of people with similar problems at http://kerneltrap.org/node/2318 and tried a few of the solutions, but none of the seem to work for me. I have put my config file at http://www.persson.tm/debian_install/config-2.6.8 for reading, I also added a dmesg from the working 2.4.27 kernel at http://www.persson.tm/debian_install/dmesg I also put a list of my fstab and fdisk -l /dev/hda at http://www.persson.tm/debian_install/debian_fstab.gif I'm not sure how to go on with this, I really would like to get debian running on my laptop. :) And hopefully I can get some help with this, dont hesitate to ask for more info. :) The reason I run it through vmware is that I got sick of all the rebooting when trying kernels, so now I can do real work while its compiling and booting. I havent noticed some sideeffects of this, but its not how I plan to use debian. So the dmesg might look a bit strange, but thats vmwarish. :) Thanks for any input!

tracking memory resource issues
Hi all, As a longtime Debian user, I really appreciate the community that makes Debian the best. My question: What is the best way to track down a possible memory leak that I have no idea which program is causing it even? Here is the problem: I have a PIII-600 with 256 MB and an ATI Radeon 9000 pro. My memory usage is fairly low when I first bootup and login. The apps that I leave open usually are Mozilla-Thunderbird and Firefox and then I will open other things now and then. I use WindowMaker and GDM, as well. However after a few days to a week the memory usage has gradually climbed to unbearable. Further, even if I close all programs and leave the computer on, the memory usage doesn't drop to what it was when I logged in. How can I trace what software is sucking my memory?

Bootsplash works anytime but at boot-time (each console has a picture and the first console has an animation at shutdown-time.). However there's nothing during the boot on the first console.

Either with dpkg-reconfigure or with mkinitrd + splash -s -f /etc/bootsplash... >> /boot/initrd... didn't work. I think that the picture is appended to the initrd but isn't read, the system seems to ignore what is appended. In particular the size of the initrd given buy dmesg isn't changed when the picture is appended. The important point is that after the framebuffer is activated, the system doesn't look for a picure.

I had the exact same problem. If vesafb was compiled as a module, I got a blank screen. If it was compiled statically, I got garbage. From my googling the stiuation, it appears that there is a bug in the vesafb.c code in the Debian package. As suggested by even further googling, I replaced the Debian vesafb.c in kernel-source-2.6.9/drivers/video with the one from the vanilla 2.6.9 kernel. Compiled it statically. I have bootsplash. :) Hope that helps. Thanks a lot. After copying the vanilla vesafb.c and recompiling the kernel with vesafb static the picture appears at boot-time too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Please help me > > Sarav Well, obviously your kernel cannot find init. On my box it is in /sbin/init, and is likely the same for yours. What is happening is that your kernel is looking somewhere for init and not finding it, either as a result of an improperly mounted filesystem or lack of its existence. See what init other kernels find and try passing the path to one on a properly mounted root file system by passing a correct "root=" option (like "root=/dev/hda1") and init option (like "init=/sbin/init") and see where that might get you. I seem to remember that one could define where init is in the kernel configuration, or just pass it at boot time. --Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

There are source packages kernel-latest-{version}-{arch}. Is this what
you are looking for? (E.g. kernel-latest-2.6-i386)

As another thread pointed out there are meta-packages for images that
will always depend on the latest kernel.

Do you mean kernel-source-2.6?
There are no packages named kernel-latest-* in the repository.
However it looks like kernel-source-2.6 is satisfied by any
of the previous four versions of the 2.6 kernel, so I won't
automatically get kernel-source-2.6.10 when it comes out.

I've now tested through a couple kernel-images, and found that the
problem does NOT manifest itself when it's an SMP-kernel, eg
2.4.26-1-686-smp and 2.4.27-1-686-smp are fine, but the default
2.4.26/7-1-386 and their respective -686 siblings aren't.
What remains is the question if I should file this as a (grave?) bug
against kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386.
And, for people googling this up later: DO NOT run the standard Sarge
kernel 2.4.27-1-386 on HP/Compaq DL380 machines, you won't be able to
reboot/shutdown them.
Well, it would be perfect if you could reproduce this. Try something like:
#include
#include
void sigcld(int sig)
{
printf("Caught SIGCLD\n");
}
int main()
{
signal(SIGCLD, sigcld);
kill(-1, SIGCLD);
sleep(2);
return 0;
}
If this prints "Caught SIGCLD" then that is a severe kernel bug.
Try both "cc foo.c" and "cc foo.c -lpthread" please.
Oh and what is the output of "ldd /sbin/killall5" ?
Mike.
LDAP auth problems
Hi everybody :-) I'm trying to configure a LDAP server with Debian Sarge. But I have some problems with the packages.

Well, in some respects it's easier to clean up because it's very easy to separate from the environment because of it's radically heavier weight. DU's unique property that gets it used in so many weapons systems is its rather amazing density, pretty much the best transmitter of energy in the kinetic form that there ever was.

There's a typo in your /etc/fstab (/media/camara instead of
/media/camera),
you're right, I mixed english (camera) and spanish (camara)
and i'm not sure you need to be in the hal group to
get gnome-volume-manager working...
you are also right, I erased me from the "hal" group and it is working
smoothly.

Reading William's previous post over I did not see anything that could be considered "religious-right-wing" or "Christian Fundamentalist" - after all, no reasonable person would ever expect a Christian *Fundamentalist* to say that Christianity expects one to behave like a pussy. I mean seriously. That by itself should have been enough to dispel the notion.You really need to read things and think a bit before getting out the old fundamentalist tarring brush. > > > My neck hair gets all bristly until when I meet people who deny > > this.

William is not a fundamentalist (nor I am, lest you decide in your Jacobin, umm, crusade that I am) and as no such claim was ever made (unless you consider his claim of there being nothing in the Koran akin to being a pussy...) this is all irrelevant. > > Every time I see someone damning the curan then it's just another > fundamentalist - just a Taliban of the christian flavor, This says more about you than it does about anyone else.

Again, William is not a fundamentalist by any reasonable definition so all you've done here is set a up a straw man, which, carrying on with the theme, you've gone and burned at the stake. I have seen some bizarre things in this thread, such as claims that GWB is "amoral" (Clinton might have been amoral, but GWB isn't - you might be able to argue he's immoral but certainly not amoral) and that Islam has nothing in its history like the Crusades (also untrue - there's Spain, or as Osama ranted, Andalusia, France if it weren't for Poitiers, Lepanto, Constantinople, and of course Vienna, not to mention the smaller but more far-reaching campaigns into Persia, India and Indonesia). All of that pales in comparison though with the unprecedented personal attack of this previous post, which thus far no one else has seen fit to denounce. And here is an open statement to those of you of a leftist leaning: there exists a school of thought that subscribes to the belief in the freedom of the individual and that that freedom should not be unreasonably impinged upon. Historically, those who subscribe to this would have been classical liberals of the Adam Smith and John Locke variety. Present day "liberals" have forgotten their origins so those of us who continue to subscribe to this belief are now mainly found on the political right and are sometimes referred to as "economic conservatives" or as "libertarians". We are not to be confused with the religious big state variety of "conservatives", of whom GWB is one. Anyway, it is for that love of freedom that we use Linux and Debian in particular. Some of you may be using it because of a belief in the similarity of open source development and idealized marxist production, and that's fine, but we're here for the freedom and if you can respect that then we'll get along. -- David P James Ottawa, Ontario http://david.jamesnet.ca ICQ: #42891899, Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Noone isn't no one pgpuXdQfzpi06.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [Way off topic] depleted uranium
agreed, the intended effect of DU rounds versus dirty bombs are quite different. but while it certainly may be easier to clean up than other more common contaminants, i think the people who live in the areas where we're firing this stuff are pretty content to let it sit there and have their kids munch on it. that being said, i must amend my first assertion (that the results are similar) simply because the people who live in the areas contaminated by this stuff do not in fact leave the area, as would most people who lived in an area hit by a dirty bomb. csmonitor had a good series on DU, located at: http://www.csmonitor.com/atcsmonitor/specials/uranium/ Bill On Wed, Dec 29, 2004 at 01:06:45PM -0500, dorn hetzel wrote: > On Wed, Dec 29, 2004 at 09:48:56AM -0800, bandito wrote: > > i think they'd be used more as an environmental contaminant than > > something intended to actually cause death... setting off a big one in a > > city wouldnt kill THAT many people, but it'd keep them out of the > > contaminated area until the radioactive material was cleaned up (or a > > few millions years passes, whichever comes first). > > in that respect, i think the result is a bit similar > > > DU as a contaminant isn't really much more or less problematic than > say lead or mercury.

Re: Webcam in Debian
I've tried using a Logitech Quickcam Express before, but never with any success. I knew the camera worked in Windows, but I could never get past whatever step should come after loading the kernel module for it.

As it was so long ago, maybe support has improved. I don't know. That's been my only experience w/ webcams in linux, so I can't speak to your other questions.

Okay. This is what I did. I noticed in the description of
kernel-image-2.6-686:
$ apt-cache show kernel-image-2.6-686
Package: kernel-image-2.6-686
Priority: optional
Section: base
[...]
Source: kernel-latest-2.6-i386
This.
Version: 100
Depends: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686
[...]
So I searched package source names on packages.debian.org (since I don't
have any source lines in my apt setup on this machine). And it returned
information on packages like kernel-latest-2.6-i386, as I described in
my email to this list.
In response to your statement I now added a sarge src line to my apt
config, and:
$ apt-cache showsrc kernel-latest-2.6-i386
Package: kernel-latest-2.6-i386
Binary: kernel-headers-2.6-k7, kernel-image-2.6-686,
kernel-image-2.6-k7-smp, kernel-image-2.6-386,
kernel-image-2.6-686-smp, kernel-headers-2.6-686,
kernel-headers-2.6-386, kernel-image-2.6-k7,

However the apt-cache search kernel-latest doesn't seem to find any
returns for kernel-latest, so I guess kernel-latest is a strange type of
package. I guess we need some clues from the repository team?

ide-scsi with 2 drives
Hello Up to now I had one hd and one dvd writer and everything worked fine. Now I have added a second hd and a dvd rom drive: /dev/hda hd /dev/hdb dvd writer /dev/hdc hd /dev/hdd dvd rom A short test with another OS (no, it's debian woody ;-) without ide-scsi seems to do fine with all of them. The trouble starts when I want to use ide-scsi to burn cds or dvds. This time I boot sid (but I don't think this makes the difference) with 'hdb=ide-scsi' as kernel parameter in grub menu.lst (it's a 2.4.24 kernel). I can mount the dvd writer as /dev/scd0, but I cannot mount /dev/hdd. I tried /dev/scd1, which (to my big surprise) mounts the same drive as /dev/scd0. I have tried appending 'hdb=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi' as kernel parameters, and a couple of other things, but had no success yet. I must be doing something wrong... So before I post error messages of everything I tried please tell me what kernel parameters (and syntax) I should try in grub. BTW: I do not really care if /dev/hdd (the dvd rom) runs with ide-scsi or without, as long as it works.

I don't know what kernel-latest-2.6-i386 is (maybe patches?) but it is
definitely too small to be the full kernel source.

I think a moderator is a horrible idea but I don't like the OT threads, although I jump in them sometimes, I *try* to stay away. Perhaps when a thread has clearly left the building the servers could just deliver those messages much more slowly -- which would have a dampening effect on it without becoming the Draconian Police State that is a moderated list. Not just ordinary OT, but when it gets like the ubuntu one did. Or it could automatically deliver such messages to debian-curiosa.

Re: Exim4 config help request
In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Ishwar Rattan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes I just installed ProMepis and it installs by default exim4 SMTP service. I am looking for a simple working configuration for exim4 (I have been using Sendmail and have tried Postfix too!). Requirements is that it should send to and receive from remote domains (office box connected to Internet via LAN). The error message sent back by exim is: ... Mailing to remote domains is not supported in fact, it does not send to another machine in the same domain! Any pointers will be appreciated. Try dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config. Tell it you want to send and receive by SMTP and give it the appropriate domain name(s). Tell it which domains/IP ranges you want it to relay mail for (probably just the local network) and what interfaces to listen on (localhost and the NIC). Oh, tell it you want to keep the single config file. Afterwards, look at /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf. Yes, that's two 'conf's. You can just edit this file by hand and run update-exim4.conf, or use the dpkg command again. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Installation
Thanks Dani, that fixed the the permission denied error, but actually, it came another "No such device" error message: Sound Server information Message: Error while initializing the sound driver, device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device). The sound server will continue, using the null output device. Seems I am still missing something here? Thank you.

cannot open root device "801"
Hello.
I recently recompiled my 2.6.8 kernel. Now I can no longer boot my
system. It fails with the message "cannot open root device "801" or
unknown-block(8,1)".
I am using a Symbios SCSI card without any IDE devices (save the CDROM)
in my system. My lilo.conf properly identifies the boot device and root
device ("boot=/dev/sda" and "root=/dev/sda1"). The SCSI drivers are
compiled directly into the kernel, and the devices are all seen on
bootup.
My previous 2.6.8 kernel boots, but not this one. The only change I
made was to enable HFS filesystem (so I can play with my new iPod).
Any ideas?
Please respond directly as I am not monitoring the list (but do, of
course, CC: the list).
Thank you.
