This happened because the etch versions of these packages are not compatible with the new apt, and apt or aptitude seems to be too dumb to see that these packages should be upgraded rather than removed when you type "aptitude install aptitude".

Something that helped me to get a different point of view on such a system was a busybox binary. IIRC we have a package with a rather complete and statically-linked busybox binary. You could also try 'busybox ps' and such.

I always start with a base-install only (no tasks selected during install). Then after the first boot, I run aptitide, tell it not to install recommended automatically, then go down the list and for each category, mark it Auto, then select manually install for those things that aptitude proposes to remove which I want, aiming to have as many things as possible marked 'A'. Then I do an update and upgrade to get security fixes. Then I dpkg-reconfigure debconf and set it for low. Then I dpkg-reconfigure everything. Then I install things I want right away: mc, lynx, mutt, an MTA, mailx, anacron, logrotate, nano-tiny (since it sits in /bin), and ssh. Then I put the list of installed packages from the backup notes in one VT, with aptitude in the other VT, and start at the top and go down the list and do about 20 MB at a time (I'm on dialup). This has worked very well many times. I've never lost any data. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

It also depends if you're doing anything with the other drive on that IDE channel. I.e. dd from one to the other drive on the same channel will take much longer because only one drive can be accessed at a time, possibly with some type of context-switch overhead in-between as well.

Thank you for mentioning this Douglas. Another thing learned today! On a very average PC (1.8 GHz Athlon) I am getting very repeatable results such as: # hdparm -t /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing buffered disk reads: 186 MB in 3.03 seconds = 61.49 MB/sec ...and even on a painfully slow Linksys NSLU2 "slug" (which has its hard drive connected via a USB2 to IDE interface: # hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 32 MB in 3.09 seconds = 10.36 MB/sec I know from previous timing tests with the Slug that this figure looks about right. -- Bob Cox.

Not really. AFAICS, "sysctl -A" just walks through /proc/sys and prints everything that is available there, so it finds the deprecated kernel parameter. In any case, that is nothing to worry about.

Lots and lots of tape silos and twice daily visits from Iron Mountain couriers. Agreed. In fact, I would say the vast majority of the large systems out there do not have hot backups. It is very expensive to maintain a hot backup; unless it is super critical they be up 24/7 (i.e. airline reservation systems, NORAD, etc.), chances are they have regular backups and off-site storage. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

dircolors - debian etch - broken by design?
I have had problems with the legibility of some of the default ls colors and figured it would take a quick read of the fine manual(s) and a bit of tweaking to change them. Well .. about four (!) hours and a lot of frustration later .. I have not been able to change the default settings. My .bashrc has the usual: eval `dircolors -b` I thought this was supposed to set the LS_COLORS variable to a string of default coloring sequences that would be used by ls when run with the --color=[auto|always] flag .. So I figured I just needed to issue a "dircolors -p .dircolors" .. edit the .dircolors file to my liking .. and then follow up with a "dircolors -b .dircolors" and that should do it, right? Well .. in an xterm .. whatever I do .. echo $LS_COLORS .. tells me that .. (1) LS_COLORS is set - if I type "$LS_COL + tab": the shell is able to complete the variable and therefore "knows" about it .. and .. (2) that it is set to nothing printable .. presumably an empty string .. Eventually, after hours of fruitless googling (which only revealed that scores of applicants had been denied in the same way - nothing close to half a solution) .. and "testing" .. if you can call it that .. I managed to calm down a bit :-) .. and I figured that dircolors is probably broken.. So I commented the above eval out of my .bashrc .. and sure 'nuff .. the next shell I started had all the default escape strings in the LS_COLORS variable..!!! When I run "dircolors -p" or even "strings $(which dircolors)" .. I notice that there are a bunch of what look like supported terminfo entries right at the beginning of all the hard-coded (!) stuff and that well.. neither the xterm-256color or screen-256color-bce that I use on my home machine are in there.. I strongly suspect that this may have something to do with my problem. So, it looks like my options at this point are that I can either patch (rewrite?) dircolors .. or just ignore it and code all my ls coloring sequences in an "export LS_COLORS=" statement by hand? Please advise. Thanks! CJ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
