As said by Tixy, disable anything but 'lo', for example by "commenting 
out" (a.k.a. putting an '#' in front of each line). Your interfaces 
should look like this:

,[ /etc/network/interfaces ]
| # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
| # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
|
| # The loopback network interface
| auto lo
| iface lo inet loopback
|
| #auto eth1
| #iface eth1 inet dhcp
`

Re: How to make Debian/GNome manage network automatically

[Jean-François Pirlet]

Comment out the "auto eth1" and "iface eth1 inet dhcp" lines. Edit
your /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf to "managed=true". E.g.
from :
"[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=false"

to:

"[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=true"

Reboot (or restart NM), and it should be working.

I guess that I was looking for such a Bug Report.

It seems that b43 is supposed to do everything that broadcom-sta did.
(To use b43, you may need to install b43-fwcutter from contrib, and let 
it download firmware for your card. I have to, at least.)


I will give it a try as soon as I have time.

Ethernet CRC errors statistics in Linux

[Kushal Koolwal]

I have a system (x86_64) running Debian Lenny on a standard Gigabit Ethernet 
LAN. I have been doing some researching on how to measure Ethernet CRC errors 
(Physical layer), if there are any, on my Debian system's ethernet card . It is 
clear that the ethereal (now wireshark) cannot measure it [1]. Some people have 
suggested to use the following commands to get the CRC count:

# cat /proc/net/dev
Inter-|   Receive|  Transmit
 face |bytespackets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes
packets errs drop fifo colls carrier compressed
lo: 12309345159000 0  0 0  1230934
5159000 0   0  0
  eth0:14527038631 174773921000 0  0 0 
53768205408 150237839000 0   0  0

and

#ifconfig eth0
eth0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1f:d0:35:74:b5  
  inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
  inet6 addr: fe80::21f:d0ff:fe35:74b5/64 Scope:Link
  UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
  RX packets:174700827 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
  TX packets:150164953 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
  collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
  RX bytes:14522357501 (13.5 GiB)  TX bytes:53726785504 (50.0 GiB)
  Interrupt:254 Base address:0xe000 

As per [2], they say that "Copper cabling should not experience more than one 
bit error per 10^6 bits." But as you can see even after tx and rx data in GBs, 
I still don't have any CRC errors??? May be it might be the case that there are 
actually no CRC errors so far but it is hard for me to believe. So my two 
questions are:

a) Does the above two command really give you the hardware CRC count? Or does 
the Linux driver/OS masks it somehow?

b) Does anyone know any other method in Linux to measure the Ethernet CRC 
count? 

I am wondering how much CRC errors people on this list are getting using the 
above two commands.

Any light on this subject is highly appreciated.

Re: How to REALLY restart networking?

[Klistvud]

A little update:
-- tried noapic but the problem persists
-- tried nolapic but then the kernel only recognized one of my two 
CPUs, so I reverted back
-- restarting /etc/init/dbus doesn't solve the issue
-- restarting /etc/init/dhcdbd doesn't solve the issue
-- restarting /etc/init/networking doesn't solve the issue
-- restarting /etc/init/network-manager doesn't solve the issue
-- restarting /etc/init/network-manager-dispatcher doesn't solve the 
issue
-- restarting /etc/init/wpa-ifupdown doesn't solve the issue
-- rmmoding ssb doesn't solve the issue
-- rmmoding wl doesn't solve the issue
-- rmmoding ieee80211_crypt doesn't solve the issue
-- modprobing the above modules doesn't help either
-- issuing depmod -a doesn't help either
-- killing the Gnome nm-applet and restarting it doesn't help either

-- ifconfig and iwconfig list my wireless interface as if everything 
was OK, with the exception of the ESSID being empty (and the wireless 
interface not being associated to the AP of course)

-- putting the laptop to sleep (suspending it to RAM) resolves the 
issue, upon resuming from sleep the nm-applet finds the AP and connects 
to it flawlessly.

All in all: there is some process/reset/service restart or whatever 
which gets triggered during a reboot and during a suspend which I can't 
seem to pinpoint. For now, a quick suspend-to-RAM followed by a quick 
wake-up enables me to avoid rebooting every day, but that's certainly 
not elegant and most certainly not a "solution"... :(

I have used it for a short time, and when it works it is OK. In my
case however, I had too many errors and unrecoverable backups so I
stopped using it.

To have an encrypted backup, I now use an encrypted volume on the
remote device and use rsync over ssh to do the backups to that volume.

It is much more simple and it is easy to recover backups.

I disagree with the above (although it will work). Having /e/n/i
consist of you "lo" config only as earlier posters have advised you is
enough.

Setting ifupdown to "managed=true" allows you to manage your network
through NM in spite of having entries in e/n/i, or perhaps more
accurately using the entries in e/n/i.

The red cross in NM applet simply lets you know that NM is not
managing the NIC in use.

NM is the first app that I purge when I install Linux but I saw the
red cross when I installed Squeeze, was curious, and googled two bug
reports. One was about the cross and the second was about NM reporting
the network down to certain applications even though the network was
up because it was not managing a NIC. So you may be experiencing the
latter problem - and the already-suggested solutions should remedy it.

It works well for many people under various kernel versions, so you may
want to insist a bit, or at least post a description of the way it
doesn't work (dmesg output would be a good start, along with

is it not clearer and easier to use double-quotes for the string and

/tmp $ echo hello | sed "s/ll/l\'/"
hel'o

works just fine, and

sed -i

Hello Stefan,

this is good news.

It works well for many people under various kernel versions, so you may

a description of what you've done).


Ok. my kernel is a amd64 kernel, my box being an aluminium MacBook,
and I running Lenny tainted with some Squeeze.

In /var/log/syslog, I got when I do `modprb b43'

Apparently this is too-new and not yet supported indeed.  Sorry for
getting your hopes up.  You may want to ask around on
gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general to see if there's any progress on
getting suport for that card.

This looks like a good bug report.  Use the 'reportbug' command (from the

I see from 'icedove --h' that you could try both -safe-mode and -jsconsole.

How to fix gnome-panel item size

[Santanu Chatterjee]

Hello Everybody,

I find the gnome panel's items to be too large (in height). Please see
the attached screenshot (the "Games" item, for example). I would like
to reduce the height as much as possible. I feel I should look into
the theme's gtkrc file for this. But I could not pinpoint any
particular line I should modify.

Could you please point me to the correct line to edit? Also, I feel
directly editing the theme's gtkrc file is not the right way. Is there
any file in my home directory which I should be editing so that this
change becomes theme independent?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Santanu Chatterjee

I just upgraded by Testing system from Samba 3.3.4-1 to 3.4.2-1 yesterday

find anything.  Did something with authentication change between those two
versions that I missed somewhere?



From the release notes of 3.4.0:


The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'! That breaks existing
setups using the 'smbpasswd' backend without explicit declaration! Please use
'passdb backend = smbpasswd' if you would like to stick to the 'smbpasswd'
backend or convert your smbpasswd entries using e.g. 'pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e
tdbsam'.




All right! I just received Samba 3.4.2 from Lenny backports, and Windows
stopped working.

I tried that 'pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam' and restarted Samba but no
joy. I then changed the 'passdb backend = smbpasswd' into smb.conf and
it works again.

However, smbpasswd passdb will be obsoleted some day, and I would like
to have a working tdbsam. I have no plans on implementing LDAP, as my
server is low on memory and I have only 2 SMB users.

Why did the pdbedit command did not work? I printed to screen several
Linux machine users (who do not use Samba) but not us real users who do
need Samba.

Best method for stopping/starting MySQL?

[Tim Legg]

Hello again!

I would like to shutdown mysql periodically to make backups of the databases.  
I would like to know what is the official Debian way of stopping and restarting 
MySQL.



When I follow the intuitive steps for shutting it down, it doesn't work.

# /etc/init.d/mysql stop
Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld failed!

So I investigate further and find that this doesn't work either

# mysqladmin shutdown
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

I am root and should be able to do anything...

So I do cooperate and provide it a user and password

# mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown 
Enter password: 
# 

And so it works.  Starting it back up isn't nearly as clean though

# /etc/init.d/mysql start
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld.
Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables..
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: 
YES)'
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' 
(using password: YES)

So, I choose to reboot the system instead.  Is there a better way?

Tim Legg

I forgot the last "/":
sed -i 
'/^vif/s/B8.*$/C8,vifname=veth216'"'"','"'"'ip=10.1.1.1,mac=00:16:3E:FD:58:BB,vifname=veth216a'"'"']/'

Andrew, thanks for the tip (I remember, but doesn't known when, to
have problems escaping ' character inside double quotes). I'll try to
do it the next time

Hi,

I'm not sure but I would try:

stop samba
pdbedit -i smbpassw -e tdbsam
comment passdb backend in smb.conf
start samba

Re: Best method for stopping/starting MySQL?

[Jari Fredriksson]

19.10.2009 20:49, Tim Legg kirjoitti:

Hello again!

I would like to shutdown mysql periodically to make backups of the databases.  
I would like to know what is the official Debian way of stopping and restarting 
MySQL.



When I follow the intuitive steps for shutting it down, it doesn't work.

# /etc/init.d/mysql stop
Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld failed!

So I investigate further and find that this doesn't work either

# mysqladmin shutdown
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

I am root and should be able to do anything...

So I do cooperate and provide it a user and password

# mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown
Enter password:
#

And so it works.  Starting it back up isn't nearly as clean though

# /etc/init.d/mysql start
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld.
Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables..
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: 
YES)'
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' 
(using password: YES)

So, I choose to reboot the system instead.  Is there a better way?



Something is broken in your installation.. Do you have

/etc/mysql/debian.cnf

And the password there.

If you log in to the MySQL as root, and

mysql> select User, Host from mysql.user;

Is the debian-sys-maint there? With the password you have in the
debian.cnf? And Host as 'localhost'?

You can change the password with command

mysql> update mysql.user set password=PASSWORD('new-password')
 where User = 'debian-sys-maint' ;
mysql> flush privileges;

You might also consider a backup method which does not require MySQL to 
be stopped. Here's what I use, as I have some InnoDB tables:


http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqldump.html


For some databases, daily:

#!/bin/bash

OF=/data/smb1/backups/mysql/important-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql.bz2

mysqldump -u backup -psecret --databases verses finance Calendar 
domestic music MasterDirectory | bzip2 > $OF



or all of them, less often:

#!/bin/bash

OF=/data/smb1/backups/mysql/databases-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql.bz2

mysqldump -A -u backup -psecret | bzip2 > $OF


All my databases are human-driven and the backup jobs run when nothing 
else will be happening, so I don't bother locking things, but you 
obviously can. This all happens at the database level, so there's no 
flushing to disc to worry about.


If you use phpMyAdmin, that can also backup and restore databases online 
remotely using a browser, but I don't think it can be scripted locally.

I was going to use it for my primary backup, but I have decide to do it
for specialised things, but the " I had too many errors and
unrecoverable backups" doesn't sound good.

I have gone back to fusecompress + rdiff-backup

mysqldump -h dbsrv --user=backup -psecret --opt $DB | bzip2
>$BACKUPDIR/$DB.sql.bz2
echo

echo [ Done ]

It backs up every database except those mentioned in egrep filter. Each
database into its own .sql file. The database is assumed to be in server
dbsrv, that can be left off if it is on localhost.

RE: Ethernet CRC errors statistics in Linux

[Kevin Ross]

It could be that the driver you are using doesn't report those statistics.  
It's also possible you haven't had any errors in that
time.  In my statistics below, the send/receive byte counts have overflowed the 
32-bit limit many times, so don't believe them.  I
probably download 2-10 gigabytes per day, and the uptime is 33 days.

I just checked on another computer, which uses the forcedeth driver (same as
you), and I have all zeros for those stats, too.  Uptime on that computer is
16 days, with traffic aplenty (HTPC streaming HD movies over NFS from
server, approx. 4 to 8 GB each).

I'm inclined to believe it's an issue with the forcedeth driver.

scalable Debian based LNS (L2TPv2 tunneling)

[Rogelio]

Has anyone created/used/found/seen a Debian based LNS solution that supports
thousands L2TPv2 tunnels?  Right now, the only solution I see that scales to
this level is Redback, and if not a Redback box, then lots of Cisco 7200
boxes.

RE: Ethernet CRC errors statistics in Linux

[Kushal Koolwal]

Kevin,

Thanks for providing all the information from your end. I did read somewhere 
that many times kernel driver will not report back at CRC errors found in the 
Physical layer even though there is a counter for that.

Also, in our previous email, where you posted your stats, I noticed that you 
didn't have any errors on the interface that is internal (eth-int). Is the box 
with forcedeth driver statistics also internal?

I did check another box with e1000 driver and I don't see anything in error, 
frame, drop, etc.

Looks like I will have to do some more research here.

Yes,

select User, Host, Password from mysql.user;

revealed the password.  I diff'd the two passwords and ensured they are 
correct.  But I noticed something wasn't quite right.

My output is similar to this (Thanks to grc.com password generator).

+--+---+---+
| User | Host  | Password  |
+--+---+---+
| root | localhost | *4883CCF9DC8AAC41CBE1576EE7C30ECFFDB1EE23 |
| debian-sys-maint | localhost | 2qcvaMBnP8qwm5Ik  |
| legg | localhost | *FA5726D8387429018CC8BE7FACBC43F1E51D5C2F |
+--+---+---+

I see the password in plain text while the others are in a hash of some sort.  
That is probably where the problem is, and now I need to find a solution.

Also thanks to Joe for the mysqldump suggestions.  I have just implemented that 
as a solution.  Now to fix this password problem...

What has worked for me in the past is removing the chrome dir when I
used to have failures like that. Re launching Moz recreates the chrome
dir. If that fails - simply allow Moz to create a new dir and copy
over your favs.

And lastly, have a look at removing any plugins (like ad-blocker
(although that one never gave me issues))

Long library names not found

[Leif Asbrink]

Hello,

When installing portaudio (the standard way from a snapshot) the following
files are created:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  21 2009-10-20 00:26 libportaudio.so -> 
libportaudio.so.2.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  21 2009-10-20 00:26 libportaudio.so.2 -> 
libportaudio.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  361915 2009-10-20 00:26 libportaudio.so.2.0.0

Running gcc to compile works fine like this:
${CC} -m32 -olinrad -lvgagl -lvga -lportaudio -lpthread \

When I run ldd the result is like this:
P4:/home/portaudio# ldd ./linrad 
linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7f8d000)
libvgagl.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libvgagl.so.1 (0xb7f6d000)
libvga.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libvga.so.1 (0xb7eec000)
libportaudio.so.2 => not found

Running the program is not possible because libportaudio is not found.

I have tried under Debian squeeze (2.6.30) as well as under Debian Etch
(2.6.26). They give the same error. I have also tried Ubuntu 9.04 (2.6.28)
where there is no error. ldd finds the library and the program runs ok.

I note that /usr/local/lib/libportaudio.so.2 is a rather long file name.
 Also that  /usr/local/lib/libvgagl.so.1 is found in the same directory.
By adding a symbolic link /usr/lib/libportaudio.so.2 I can make my
program run under Debian. Another way to make it work under Debian
is to type:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
Then the library is found until next reboot.

It seems to me this is a bug but I do not know in which package.
Seems like the loading of runtime libraries with 32 characters is
too much under Debian but ok under Ubuntu. I did not try any other
distributions.


 Regards

   Leif

It is outgoing.verizon.net, and I removed the 587 port option so 
hopefully this email makes the list.

It only works on Microsoft systems so you can't install it on Debian; I 
doubt it would work under WINE even. They also went out of business four 
years or so ago, so it's not supported. Not to mention the fact it is 
horrible and reputed to be spyware...


However, if your friend has a Windows system and really wants to do 
this, just search for it.

Anybody care to chime in? The question was: how does /usr/local manage 
to assign a predefined group ownership to every file you copy to /usr/
local? Can such behaviour be replicated for an arbitrary directory in 
my /home subtree?
