So far as I know, this is a problem with the latest kernels changing their acpi interface. The battery status (and other acpi stuff, I guess) is being moved over to the sysfs interface from the procfs interface. Many (most? all?) of the clients programs that read that data do not look in the right place yet. There are a few bug reports that mention this, so I would assume it's being worked on. I use this little gem: batt_now=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_now) batt_full=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_full) batt_stat=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status)" "$(echo\ "scale=2; ($batt_now*100)/$batt_full" | bc)" %" to get a guess of the battery status on my lappy. This get's piped to a stdin-reading taskbar (I used xmobar, dzen would work as well, and maybe others), but that won't integrate into gnome very well, I imagine.

system boot hangs at or after filesystems check
Hello! Debian GN/Linux Etch, linux-image-2.6.18-5-686 #1 SMP Since one or two days my system boot hangs at, or after filesystem check. I search for error message in log files, but I think I find nothing relevant. I see only that that the sda SATA drive are used from some process. How can I know what is happen here?

Halting machine after fschk from within initscript
Hi, I have written a small utility that monitors upcoming fscks and attempts to reschedule them, so they don't happen at an unexpected or inconvenient time. Part of my scheme is an option to force the fscks to be performed after the next reboot and then reboot the system instead of just halting it. In that case, I'd like to execute the boot process just up to and including the fscks and then halt the system. I hope that I can use an initscript to achieve this. But I'm not sure what the proper spot would be and how to prematurely terminate the boot process from within an initscript. Any advice on whether this is feasible at all and how to do it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Malte -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

fsck.ext3
After converting my file system to ext3, I thought there would be no more lengthy fsck's every 20 or so boot-ups. But they still happen. Some Googling revealed different opinions; some people say "ext3 does not need periodic fsck's", others say "even with ext3, it is best to fsck every N boots, because PC hardware is cr*p". And there are also several different methods (apparently) for disabling periodic fsck's. Is there a "standard Debian doctrine" or "standard Debian practice" for this?

I managed to make FLC animations which were very good, but they were a bit large. Then I found that if I use the 8bit PNG option in PLplot, I can use the advancecomp tools, i.e. advmng, to generate an MNG file. I don't need more colours, so I am quite happy with that. This file is much smaller, since MNG has good compression and it also only updates the differences between consecutive frames. Example: 74 frames of 640x480 8bit PNGs from my simulation (some polygons moving around in a mostly black page with a box around and som text here and there): FLC: 1.1MB and MNG: 360KB.

The 20-or-so is different per partition, so that they won't all fsck at the same time. However, because a stable Linux system shouldn't reboot very often, just relying on a boot counter might mean that it would be years between fsck. So, the system also forces an fsck every N days (where N is slightly different per partition). Thus, if you only reboot yearly, they'll all fsck. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA PETA - People Eating Tasty Animals -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHpHmwS9HxQb37XmcRAp+CAJ0UFIBDb1rRDU4CY7d/Tn3R2s6BfgCgonBi ac0KL131PM0euzTjXE/pptY= =/1Td -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

How to compile modules in a Xen domU
Hi,
I've installed Debian Etch with
Dom0: Linux dom0 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 23 08:01:39 UTC 2008
x86_64 GNU/Linux
And
DomU: Linux xentest 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 23 08:01:39 UTC 2008
x86_64 GNU/Linux
I need to compile some kernel modules for the domU (v4l-dvb), but have some
problems figuring out how to setup the environment.
If I (in the domU) do a make menuconfig I get the following:
make menuconfig
make -C /root/v4l-dvb/v4l menuconfig
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/v4l-dvb/v4l'

cannot connect to my wifi
Hi friends, i tryed many suggestions on internet, but no success yet to connect to my wifi. I have the following hardware: # lspci 08:07.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5005G 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) I installed madwifi according go the post http://www.webservertalk.com/archive291-2007-4-1865856.html It seems to work. But the connection i cannot manage to get done. First i tried network-manager. All fields there, just typed it as worked for previous windows and ... no success. Many posts in internet report problems of network-manager anyway. Some ubuntu people said they solved their problems using gtkwifi, nm-applet, and wicd, but i didnt find them for debian (??? aren't they the same???). I also tried iwconfig but got an Error : unrecognised wireless request "thenet.com" OBS: the name was correct. Than i installed wifi-radar. It makes it easy to set the connection, but there is no way to set the interface name. So wifi-radar keeps on trying to connect a certain eth2 interface, that does not exist! Any tip, please, i ran out of possibilities :-) Thank u all in advance ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Brother laserprinter refuses to print pdfs
Hello, I've a brother laserprinter (setup as network printer), which works quite well in general, except that it refuses to print most pdfs. I'm running debian/unstable with cups as printing backend. When printing pdfs, regardless whether I try to print from evince, gimp or invoke lpr directly (from cupsys-bsd), only an errormessage is printed to the paper: ERROR NAME; typecheck COMMAND; image OPERAND STACK; As far as i can tell, other documents are printed just fine. The only way to print pdfs right now is to first convert them to ps. but unfortunately pdf2ps seems to have problems with some pdfs, therefore I don't have any chance to print them. Is there any way to make my printer print pdfs?

I use postfix, and the only modification to it's main.cf is: home_mailbox = Maildir/ Regarding conversion: Google for "mb2md.pl", which, as it's name implies, is a Perl script to convert from mbox to Maildir. Maildir directories are created with maildirmake(1). You could also "cheat" and use a GUI MUA to drag the mails from mbox to IMAP. Also, I use courier-imap to access the Maildirs, so my .muttrc looks like: $ grep imap .muttrc set imap_user=me set spoolfile=imap://haggis/INBOX set folder=imap://haggis/INBOX. set record=imap://haggis/INBOX/Sent > I assume that once I do, the user's interaction with the mail > from within Mutt will look the same?

I have a symlink in /usr/lib/ pointing to /lib/libusb-0.1.so.4 (which in turn points to libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4). I wonder why you do not see this.

Switching from ipw3945 to iwl3945 driver]
Hi, If you do not own any hardware with Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wifi cards, you can stop reading now. The 2.6.24 kernel has recently hit unstable, and it contains a new shiny iwl3945 driver which should replace the old ipw3945 one. The good news is that you will no longer need to run the ipw3945d binary daemon, the bad news is that binary firmware is still required (but it is available as a package). The plan is to remove ipw3945-modules-* and ipw3945d packages from the archive as soon as 2.6.24 kernel hits testing. Because of that, everyone running unstable and using ipw3945 is encouraged to switch to using 2.6.24 and iwl3945 driver as soon as possible. The switching instructions are available at http://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi I've only tested this procedure myself, so feel free to contribute additional information to the wiki page, and reply to this thread if you encounter any problems (cc me in this case, as I'm not on d-u).

I just went through this nightmare yesterday. There are a couple of critical things that people need to know. These are things that I encountered that took a while to figure out because they aren't obvious. Note that I use a customized combination of scripts to configure my wireless for different locations. I don't use any of the whizz-bang gui methods... 1) you cannot iwlist scan unless you bring the interface up first. You can bring the interface up without any parameters, do a scan, search the results and then process accordingly. 2) some of the iwconfig settings (particularly "mode" and maybe others) require the interface to be *down* before you can set them. So in my case where I scan for available access points and then set mode and ssid etc accordingly I have to up the interface, scan, down the interface, set some stuff, up the interface again to set more stuff and then pass it back to ifup to let it finish configuring the interface. It's kind of a pain, but it seems to work. 3) you need to delete previous references to your card from /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules file and let it be recreated. 4) it appears that WEP doesn't work for ad-hoc networks :( my .02 A signature.asc Description: Digital signature

multiple qc-usb drivers?
Hi all, I own a Logitech Quickcam Messenger (a webcam) which works fine using the qc-usb drivers at [1]. As far as I understand, however, there are many forks of the qc-usb project, one of which being the version included in the Debian archive [2]. Another fork can be found at [3]. Needless to say, my webcam works with [1], but does not with [2] or [3]. At the moment I am compiling and installing the kernel modules by hand, but by and large I would prefer to use m-a and apt for the task. Is there any way to do this? Note that I would not be able to make a Debian package out of the module sources. Thanks for the help!

Taking hints from a blog on building xen 3.2 specifically I found http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/xen/readmes/hg-cheatsheet.txt Unfortunately, I did not bookmark the initial page that linked to the mercurial cheatsheet above. It essentially said that the xen 3.2 stable source build was broken and that in order to get it to build correctly it recommended downloading the whole 'testing' repository source tree using the command; $> hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.2-testing.hg I wondered where hg was (I knew it was the symbol for mercury) as I did not have that particular program installed. It turns out that the xen project uses mercurial as a revision control system and that program needed to be installed in order to clone the project source tree. Now I have cvs, subversion AND mercurial. Using; $> sudo apt-get install mercurial brought in mercurial along with python 2.5 and friends. I was then able to run the hg command and download the 'testing (3.2.1)' source tree. I thought I had all the tools necessary to build xen a week ago but, apparently not. The build is running now and I can relate the rest of the story if anyone is interested. I would also like to try 'make world' on the xen-3.2 directory to see if I just needed tools which were not spelled out in the 'README'. I've used up a lot of bandwidth (sorry!) at kernel.org getting linux 2.6.18 several times and still will need to resolve; 1. The kernel xen-3.2 uses, appears to be set at linux-2.6.18 and trying to use a more recent kernel version appears troublesome. 2. Building distribution packages are documented on RedHat, Ubuntu, and CentOS, but debian will require some study (and I don't know if I care about running xen from a .deb).

But there are some caveats I could throw in as well: * Once you've brought up wpa_supplicant on your wireless interface, the driver does not know how to go back. If you kill wpa_supplicant (like when you suspend and go somewhere else and want to connect to another WEP AP) - congratulations, your driver is now officially hosed.

Terribly wrong. Modprobe and pdflush go hand in hand right into the abyss, coming back as CPU-eating undead and unkillable zomies. Yay.
