Re: Recursive copy to udf-formatted dvd-ram freezes system

I renamed the file and now the system doesn't freeze, but the writer doesn't stop to write (more than 15 min for 293 MB ;-(. No hint from syslog, the only method to stop the writer is to switch it off and after a new switch on no data have been written to the DVD. It seems that UDF is rather unstable, at least in the AMD64 branch. I guess as a 'universal disk format' for all operating systems, it is bound to be less feature rich than something tailored to linux. It was specifically developed with RW-media in mind and probably isn't at the top of fs performance for RAM-media. I found that writing to RAM disks is much slower than writing to R/RW disks, assuming that it takes some extra time to verify the data (as far as I understand all data written to a DVD Ram are verified by the burner unlike in the case of R/RW). On my system it'll take about 20 minutes to finish writing the buffer, after my copy command is already back on the command line. If, however, you experience a complete inability to write on UDF, I would consider filing a bug report - just to spare future users the time consuming 'experiments'. Maybe you should try to write a small file structure first (say, about one MB) and try to expand from there. Johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

shasta promise vs 64 bit
Hi! I have a 64 bit computer, and a promise ex 8350 hw raid card in it. I downloaded the driver from the facturer' s site, and when i booted knoppix, i could install it simply typing make, but when i booted a real 64 bit system (debian, sarge), i could not compile it.

it's just a shot in the dark, but

Problems with pppoe-server (attn developers probably)
Hi,
I'm trying to set up a pppoe link from client to server for some
experiments. The client side is sarge, on the server side I tried
sarge and etch (all net-installed). In both cases, pppoe dump
shows that the server terminates the connection after the session
is started, that is, the client receives PADS immediately followed
by PADT. It seems the problem is that pppoe-server is unable
to start the pppd process.
On sarge the pppd (2.4.3) just complains
pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP etc.
and exits. I believe the default sarge kernel should have built-in
support for PPP, but I just can't convince the pppd to believe
the same. Since I've seen some notions about pppd 2.4.3 being
unusable with pppoe-server due to bugs, I tried dist-upgrade to etch.
On etch (pppd 2.4.4), strace led me to suspect a bug in pppoe
(or rather misconfiguration at build time). The call to pppd looked like
execve("pppd", args...) = -1 ENOENT
As far as I understand execve requires full path to executable.
Please, could someone guide me to the light :) I'm unsure about
where to go from here.
Artem.

Re: GRUB Reboot Loop
Roby schreef: Pieter Agten wrote: Hello, A couple of weeks ago I installed Debian Stable (3.1) on a PII 400Mhz with a 80GB harddisk, everything worked fine. I had to replace this harddisk with a different one (also 80GB) and I did this by cloning the original disk to this new one with HDClone 3.1. After replacing the harddisk, the system doesn't boot anymore: when I should see the GRUB Boot Menu, the system just reboots. So now it is stuck in a reboot loop. The exact boot process is as follows: - System POST - I see 'GRUB Loading stage1.5.' and 'GRUB loading, please wait...' for about half a second. - Reboot I am sure the HDClone 3.1 program works flawlessly because I have used it before (on linux systems) and it has never failed. Furthermore, I have had this problem before on an entirely different system, right after the Debian installation (so on that system I never had even one correct boot with GRUB). How can I solve this problem? One fix might be to install LILO instead of GRUB, but what is the best way to do this? I replaced GRUB by LILO once before, and after that, everytime I would install a different (home made) kernel, I had to adjust the lilo.conf and run lilo manually, so I would like to avoid that. If it is possible, I would like to keep GRUB... Thanks in advance! Most likely: GRUB got written to a different cluster than original - a common event in cloning. As a result, the code in bootsector points to wrong location on partition and GRUB is confused. To fix it, start up GRUB in interactive mode (as root) and rewrite the bootsector: # Assuming boot partition is on first hard drive (hd0): $ sudo grub GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions.

If you want any choice in just *when* the upgrade happend (e.g., not when an important work assignment is due the next morning), don't do this. Keep your sources.list pointing to sarge. Then change it to etch only when you are ready to upgrade. When I do an upgrade, I always keep a complete, working copy of the system on a separate partition (or set of partitions, if necessary). Then if something goes wrong during the upgrade, I can still dual-boot to the old system to get urgent work done. On one of my machines, for example, I ran out of disk space halfway through the upgrade. Also: when the time comes to do the upgrade, read the upgrade instructions before you start. Although in theory a dist-upgrade should do the trick, a specific upgrade may require special actions. For example, the upgrade from woody to sarge required you to upgrade aptitude before the main dist-upgrade. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

To search all packages which are installed and have the package
name 'package':
COLUMNS=200 dpkg --list | grep ^ii | awk '{ print $2}' | grep ^package
Or just to learn the status of one package:
dpkg --list apache2

Question about bzip2 and bzip2recover and tar
I have a big .tbz file that I need to unzip and read, but I got a error message that suggested I try bzip2recover.

I think the main difference is that apt has super cow powers and aptitude doesn't. Also, aptitude has a fancy UI (well, the curses kind of fancy). My main reason for using aptitude, though, is that it handles dependencies intelligently: It will uninstall automatic dependencies if every package that depends on them is uninstalled.

Didn't help me, though. Problem maybe identified. When I tried pdf2ps, it complained that the Arial font should have been embedded, but wasn't. Of course this can't be a problem on modern Windows boxes, because they come with Arial. Maybe I just need to learn how to alias some Helvetica-like font to "Arial" for xorg (which I have no idea how to do). Of course, in reality all I have to do is print the document from my Windows-running laptop, but this isn't a good thing for Debian. And I have no idea how someone on this list printed the file using Sid. Do you have Arial as an alias somewhere? While writing this I wanted to try to print again, but I noticed that CUPS is now not running?

NFS + iptables: (re)boot sequence
Hello, I'm trying to implement some iptables rules for my system. Unfortunately, (on etch) it appears that the boot sequence doesn't allow for nfs mounts to be located (as nfs+portmap appear to get started _before_ I've established an internet connection with my network interface which relies on dhcp.) Is there a way to specify the boot-order so that nfs-mounts are only possible once the network is up and running? Also, related somewhat to reboot sequence, I have an 'inactive' ruleset for iptables that pretty much denies all internet access when I go for a shutdown. Unfortunately, it appears that nfs mounts aren't unmounted before then, and so i portmap complains when it's time for it to unmount the nfs shares (as there's no more internet connection) and stalls the shutdown process indefinitely. Is it possible to prevent this from happening? Thank you. -- Joseph Le-Phan [GPG key: 292E09A0] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Thanks.
I didn't use your script, but I was able to unzip all but one of the files.
File 3029, of the 4282 files, had unrecoverable errors.
All the others were turned into:
rec0carols051011x.tbz
I concatenated these into file xxx.tar and ran a extract.
It worked, mostly. But it died at the place where there was a missing
piece. I think I need some kind of filler that allows tar to get
past the glitch and keep going. Or maybe I just have to be
satisfied with only 3/4 recovery.
Are there any known approaches that recover the data following the
bad spot?

The version of dchroot in stable (not etch or unstable) uses su(1) to execute the command. su is part of the login package, which could explain this.

Doesn't change the fact that you threw up a strawman. But hey, you want to talk topology let's talk about why SMTP is a prime example of why jabber's model of multi-network support sucks. I remember the good ol' days of interfacing Sendmail to gateway for multiple networks. It never worked as well as using clients designed to work with the networks natively. The idea was tried then and failed. The fact that the world migrated largely to one standard, and one that can be argued that is severely flawed (not to mention structurally weak) is immaterial to the discussion of what is defined as "doing one thing and one thing only well". Besides, the ultimate irony is that unlike your short-term predictions I pretty much nailed it when ICQ first came out. I took one look at this wizz-bang trend and said to my co-workers at the time "What, it's just a cheap IRC knock-off." Look where Jabber, at least, is going. A network of servers talking to clients so that people can either pass individual messages or join chat groups to other individuals. It's freakin' IRC in a different protocol. The only significant change is the interface. We could have saved countless hours of programmer time and money by sticking with a tried and true standard, thanks. Of course it isn't the first time we've seen effort wasted replicating what we already have.

In that case your symptoms might be due to the log rotation process which is started by anacron 5 minutes after boot, combined with a DMA problem which makes hard disk access very slow. (Under these conditions the problem should only occur after the first boot on every day, or if you leave the computer on during the night.) Other cronjobs such as mandb updates could also contribute to the problem. I would boot into single user mode and check the hard disk access speed.

Re: Question about bzip2 and bzip2recover and tar
I use "bvi" to fix things like that...
If you would like to skype back and forth on how to use it to clip binary
files for recovery, let me know...
You have to explore the files and determine where to delete at the end of
the last good file and at the beginning of the first good file after the
glitch
Then cat them together essentially clipping out cleanly the header, bad
section and trailer...
Then tar can get everything except the bad section and a little bit before
and after the bad section...
bvi is a great recovery tool when the only copy you have left has
problems...

Control characters start at 0 and go upwards from there to the "printable characters". Control characters have a mapping to the characters @ABCDEFG... So if you need a NULL character, ^@ will provide it, to insert a null character in a string in a shell script you're editing with vi, control-v control-@ will do it.

What is your goal? To get a copy of the form, or to get your

course, you want to be able to print anything. If your goal
is just to get the form, then I suggest using other means.

Installing Debian on a Mac Mini
I'm trying to install Debian on a Mac Mini (x86) but I'm having a silly little problem: - I have BootCamp and rEFIt installed - At boot time, I select the CD drive to boot - The CD boot loader (ISOLINUX?) starts up great and asks me to hit ENTER or F1 and now the problem: the USB keyboard seems not to be recognized yet, so I can't hit ENTER nor F1 nor any other key for that matter. Any idea what I should do?

Bringing up eth0 NIC without logging in
Hi. I have a couple of Debian installs on my laptop, on one the eth0 NIC comes up during the boot process, but on the other it doesn't, although it's identified and there in dmesg. I'm using the same interfaces file for both, but clearly I'm missing something - that I probably did in the midst of time and have now forgotten. /etc/network/interfaces says auto eth0 inet dhcp After boot, ifconfig shows no eth0, but "ifup eth0" says "eth0 already configured". There is no way out at this point. When I "ifdown eth0" followed "ifup eth0" (or dhclient eth0) all is sweet.

OpenOffice always on top in Debian Testing
Hi, I googled and get onlyone topic [1] about my problem, so I am trying here, maybe someone can help. That topic is exactely that mine! I upgraded my Debian Testing by apt-get and the problem have been started. I use GNOME as desktop. When you open a document with OpenOffice, it keeps on popping up to the top of the focus stack and it will even move itself to the current focussed desktop from another desktop. It seems that it detects some change every 200 milliseconds or so. Even using a drop-down list in OpenOffice is very difficult. If you scroll down the open list too long, it close the list. You have to open the drop-down list, move quickly to the item you want and click, otherwise your list is closed. Opening a dialogue in OpenOffice will keep the dialogue on top, but I can see in the window border that the focus keeps on reverting to the main window behind. Using another application while an OpenOffice document is open is extremely annoying, as the OpenOffice doc keeps on grabbing the focus. For instance, typing something in another application. You type two characters and then you are suddenly typing in the OpenOffice doc. So, to type something in the other application, you type two characters then click on your application to get focus back, type another two characters, click, type, click, etc. Has anybody seen this behaviour? Any ideas what this can be? I already tried the solution in [1], but in my case the item is false. Any help is very appreciated.

However, it is discontinued and hard to come by. If you can get one for under $500, I would jump on it. It is quiet, fast, and setup is a cinch with CUPS since it speaks native postscript. If you get a model without the trailing N (meaning it does not include the network card) then you probably want to pay considerably less. Be careful as there are people out there selling the CLP-550 as "network ready", which translates into "you will have to buy the $250 netowrk card from Samsung to put this on a network." -Roberto -- Roberto C.

When using the web interface to install a Postscript printer, I have been specifying "raw" for "Make" and "Raw Queue (en)" for "Model", and this results in a printer entry for which (at least on the web interface) I get a "not found" error whenever I click on the "Set Printer Option" button. Next, I looked at "/etc/cups/" and found a "printers.conf" and a "printers.conf.0"; both files appear to be identical. In both there is a line which reads "JobSheets none none". And there also is the problem that I am forced to go through the "Modify Printer" process whenever I boot the system; others have reported the same problem.

Glenn English <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Are HP laser printers still OK? Anybody have horror stories about the > 4700? Or a better idea (color, laser, self contained server, heavy load)? My HP5 no longer is supported. I discovered the fact when a HP toner cartridge (supposedly with a lifetime warranty) appeared to be causing problems in the printer. I phoned HP and was told that I could not speak with a technician, because no technicians were assigned to non-supported printers such as the HP5. And without authorization from a technician, the customer is not authorized to return a toner cartridge, even if you purchased it the day before. I asked to speak with a customer service representative, but was told that there was no one at all -- in all of the HP empire -- who could help me, once support for a printer has been discontinued. So, once a HP printer is discontinued, the customer has no recourse whatsoever if a genuine HP toner cartridge is defective, unless the office supply store is willing to provide an exchange or refund.

Well, you could remaster the ISO image, and modify the isolinux.cfg file so it says "timeout 1". Then it'll boot past that point without a keypress and the installer should load keyboard drivers before prompting any more. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify Alternatively if you can set up netbooting, you can modify the pxelinux.cfg similarly, and not have to worry about the CD remastering process. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Alternatively, if you want a simpler desktop install, the full CD is a good choice, since it contains little aside from what you'll need for a desktop install.

Gnome problems
Gnome has been giving me mysterious problems. I am running a testing amd64 installation (gnome 2.14). My install was very problematic. The package that checks signatures debsig-verify wouldn't allow many packages to install. When I removed it, the installation continued, but had many holes that I had to fix manually. When gnome came up, the top tool bar was sparsely populated. It did not have a main applications menu. I have since installed one, along with many other gnome packages. After this installation exercise, I rebooted and gnome would not come up. The top and bottom toolbars would blink maybe 10-15 times and then die. cntrl-alt-backspace would simply kill the graphics screen, leading to removing and restarting gdm. When I ran gnome in safemode, I recieved many OAF (object activation framework) errors about the applets in my tool bar. When I installed the liboaf-dev, I no longer received errors in the safemode and gnome came up normally. However, when I tried to install the system monitor applet, I received oaf errors again. Is there a known problem with the system monitor applet? I should also point out that I installed many of the theme packages, and that these have not shown up in the theme chooser. It seems that I have an infirmed gnome installation. Art Edwards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
