black screen when starting X on radeon HD4850 with xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.13
Hi everybody, Please, CC: me, as I am not subscribed to the list. I am running Debian sid on an Apple iMac 27", with a Mobility Radeon HD 4850 video card (ATI Technologies Inc M98L). The kernel I use is 2.6.33-2 from experimental, and I have disable KMS. Depending on the version of the radeon driver I use, I see or not something on the screen: - with 1:6.12.192-2, everything startx correctly when I launch startx from the command line. - with 1:6.13.0-1, the screen becomes black, and it is impossible to go back to a console using Alt+Ctl+F?. However, I can ssh to the system, and see using ps that the KDE session has indeed started. Here are in attachment the two logs: failed is with 6.13, and success is with 6.12.192. Has someone an idea of what is going on? Is there an option I could add to my (at the moment empty) xorg.conf to remedy this problem?

repeated ATA errors debian lenny
Hi all,
Recently a couple of new machines came to my hands, HP DL 180 G6 with 500Gb
SATA hard disk, and I tried to setup a 2-nodes ganeti cluster with debian
lenny.
Default 2-6-26 kernel does work without any issue.
I've done a fresh installation with nothing more than the basics (vim and
less ;) ) and after a aptitude install ganeti, editing xen-config.xsp and
grub xen options, upon restarting I get the following error on the screen:

ganeti-instance-debootstrap 0.5-1
drbd8-utils 2:8.0.14-2+lenny1
I upgraded to kernel 2-6-26-2 to see whether it solved the issue without
success.
I also tried booting with clocksource=acpi_pm. I've also just tried
acpi=off, pci=nosmi, and nocpi as suggests the ata kernel website without
much success.
I've checked through internet and found the following:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480317
It should be solved because hipervisor version 3.2 is higher than the one
solving the issue (3.0.3) unless redhat's version differ much from the
debian ones in minnor versionwhich i don't think.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
Thank you in advance!!

'$apt-cache search PHP' gives too many results for a choice. You want to do # apt-get install php5 php-mysql apache2 Which will also pull in the php5 apache module. By default, the web pages live under /var/www, the php config file is /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and the apache config is all under /etc/apache2/, with apache2.conf being the 'main' config file. There're several howtos on the net to talk you through it, howtoforge is a bit of a goldmine for them. I have now got to a point that I have a working MySQL database system on my localhost machine. I thought that I would not have any problem migrating this to my ISP appropriate MySQL space, but so far I have failed to do so. Local doc is very scarce, and I did not find any relevant FAQ. I did find the relevant paths though, and succeeded installing a short php script which displays the current date, using strftime(), but there is no way I can access databases. From the online doc, I learnt that I can't create databases, and that I can just create tables under the database that already exists. If I import a table, only its structure gets imported, not its content, and then an error message says that I don't have privileges for this... so I am surely missing something as far as setting up is concerned, or initialization. In my efforts to fetch info, I got a few hints, but they were negative ones, for instance someone kind of said that most ISP did not allow their customers to more than one authenticated user. This would mean that I could not expect to install a database that would be available to the members of a club, each of them having a login and password. Could someone tell me where I could find relevant information and docs ? And maybe mention one or more ISP that would provide suitable mysql facilities ? For another perspective: I use 1&1 (http://1and1.com) for a web database. They have several level of package, the one I use has MySQL facilities, ftp and also ssh access to the virtual server that runs apache. As Monique said, you can use MySQL to store passwords and write your own login script, but you should also be able to use basic authentication (with .htpass files) in the web server to require a user name and password for access to web pages, which may well be enough for your purposes. The advantage is that it's simple to set up, the disadvantage is that you have to set the passwords and communicate them to the users, they cannot change them. Neither of these techniques count as authentication to the operating system or MySQL itself, so the single user isn't a problem. The MySQL installation at 1&1 is accessible by a public IP address from the virtual server, but this is not guaranteed to be available from outside their own network. They advise that the database be accessed only from the virtual server, either through ssh or the web server.They recommend installing phpmyadmin, which is a script which runs on the web server. Monique and Avi mentioned mysqldump, and phpmyadmin offers similar features remotely through a web page, including uploading of .sql files, by which you can create and populate entire databases if necessary. It can also backup the database to a file on the client computer. You can access phpmyadmin from anywhere, and you need to login to it using the MySQL credentials. The phpmyadmin information page can also tell you quite a lot about how the apache and MySQL installations are configured. One last point: even if you don't advertise the website outside your club membership, it will be found by others, and you need to understand at least SQL injection and cross-site scripting attacks on web servers, and the facilities that PHP offers to help defend against them. You should also regularly check your web server directory structure and files for signs of tampering.

This Lenny install worked wonderfully! You mean there is no sound "after" you login? I fail to see any relation with that fact (no sound) and the bootloader being located in a floppy disk or SuperGrubDisk so I would investigate first why the sound stopped from working.

I just looked at Intel, Asus, and other Gigabyte boards and they all follow the correct alternating color pattern. Aioanei, you've based your entire argument on your knowledge of a single main board.

Look at the ATA_HORKAGE blacklist sections in libata-core.c to see lists of hard drives the manufacturers screwed up. All of the Goliaths are in there, Hitachi, Maxtor, Seagate, Western Digital. They're all shipped drives that don't meet one spec or another. If these Goliaths can screw up, I guarantee you a tiny company like Gigabyte can, and probably does so far more often. Now, go look at the DIMM socket colors and layout pattern on the Intel, Asus, and yes, other Gigabyte boards to see what the proper color coding for dual channel memory sockets is, and look at the text descriptions of the slot and channel numbers. This GA board is an anomaly, and is flawed in this regard. Take a look at the RHS of my email address. That's my personal domain.

Gigabyte AMD based boards seems to follow "0-0-1-1" scheme and Intel ones goes "0-1-0-1" but that's all.

Well, it seems you have 3 physical hard disks, with windows installed in
the first partition of the IDE hdd and Lenny in the second SATA (500 GiB).
First you have to do is *to know* what hard disk is being booted in first
place by the BIOS ("IDE 80" -windows- or "SATA 500" -lenny-). After that,
put here the results of your findings and we will see what could be the
better setup for installing GRUB :-)

debian on a raid5 (4TB) issues
Hi, maybe OT but, I\m trying to install debian lenny on a raid5 with 4TB. OS sees one big sda with 4TB, I can particion /boot, / and swap but it only recognize 78GB instead the 4TB available.

xen
Hello there, Ny name is Ian, from Perth Australia. I have a question to be answered please. I'm a linux user, so I use suse, debian, ubuntu and gentoo, and fedora.I'm interested in exploring the capabilities of xen and have done so an all the above.I'm in a brand new instance of squeeze and have just perused the packages in synaptic for the first time.I have recently used karmic lenny including a xen live cd which uses lenny as a dom host.This has lead to submitting bug reports because the collection of packages that are used to support virt-manager and xen are extensive and quite problem ridden. I am now to try the latest packages provided by squeeze. I can't help but notice THERE IS NO XEN KERNEL. So, why is it so? This is like karmic revisited. No xen kernel. I experimented extensively in karmic only to submit bug reports that were ignored because Ubuntu does not support xen as a host, dom0. What is the policy then? Why has Ubuntu retracted supporting xen dom0? Is it the same for debian?Why are all xen packages provided but no kernel? I have a xen kernel in any case, but it is an important ommision.Ubuntu and debian have provided and supported xen kernels for previous versions. Has it been unofficially left to SUSE to invest support in xen as a virtualisation form? _ If It Exists, You'll Find it on SEEK.

OK, I think I understand a little bit better how this is supposed to be working now. Try to add your touchpad options to the InputClass section of the file /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf as a first test. There seems to be a new mechanism that allows for multiple such InputClass sections matching the same device, so that its configuration can be spread over several files, with each file being able to add options and to override settings made in previous files. If this works as advertised then it should be possible to add your customizations in a separate InputClass section in, say, 99-local.conf and thus make sure that they are not overwritten when the synaptics driver is upgraded. That seems to have all the modularity advantages of the earlier hal/udev methods with the added bonus of the simpler xorg.conf syntax. I am curious to hear if this actually works because I cannot try it myself.

Mmmm, it seems you are missing a codec (AMR). In debian multimedia repo there is one package that provides that codec: *** floating-point Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) speech codec http://debian-multimedia.org/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/package/amrnb.php *** That is for lenny 32-bits.

If the mobo DIMM slots are colored, you put one DIMM in each color slot for dual channel operation, not both DIMMs in the same colored slots. I believe different manufactures follow different conventions. For some it's the two in same-color slots, for others in different-color slots. When in doubt, check the manual One, I work with hardware everyday and I've assembled more computers than I can count. Two, Stan, I find your remark pretty offensive, really. Gigabyte, Asus, Intel mobos work by the principle 'same colour == dual channel'. Please check your facts before trying to sound elitist. Checking the wiki page again, it says, "If the motherboard has two pairs of differently colored DIMM sockets (the colors indicate which bank they belong to, bank 0 or bank 1), then one can place a matched pair of memory modules in bank 0, but a different-capacity pair of modules in bank 1, as long as they are of the same speed." Which says to me that if I have a board with 4 memory slots of which 2 are colored light-blue and 2 are colored black and 2 1GB modules of identical speed, then I place both modules in either the light-blue slots of the black slots.

Bash script - pass command line arg to embedded sed script with multiple args
What I'm trying to do is pretty simple. Getting it to work is turning out not to be. What I want to do is call a bash script with a couple of arguments, and, within the script, call sed to use those args to replace two placeholders in a file: bashscript SUB1 SUB2 This line inside bashscript doesn't work: sed -e 's/PLACEHOLDER1/$1/' -e 's/PLACEHOLDER2/$2/' < input > output It doesn't work because the command line args ($1, $2) are quoted and don't get replaced. However, because I'm using the -e argument to sed, I have to quote the argument or sed gets all huffy. I've tried all sorts of variations on the quoting and either bash or sed isn't happy no matter what I do. The only workaround I've found is to do the substitutions in two passes: sed s/SUB1/$1/ < input > temp sed s/SUB2/$2/ < temp > output Since I'm not using multiple argument to sed, I don't have to quote the arg. That's an ugly hack and really rubs me the wrong way, however, and it'll get really ugly if I end up having to do more than two substitutions, which I expect to do at a later date. I suppose I could pipe one sed command to another rather than using a temp file but that's not significantly more palatable. Any ideas on a cleaner approach on how to do this, either by getting this right or using an alternative method, are welcome. One thing to note is that this is a small part of a larger, more complex script, so the bash script can't (easily) go away. I don't have to use sed to do the replacement if there's another approach from within the bash script that would work. -- "Americans detest all lies except lies spoken in public or printed lies." - Edgar Watson Howe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'm a linux user, so I use suse, debian, ubuntu and gentoo, and fedora.I'm interested in exploring the capabilities of xen and have done so an all the above.I'm in a brand new instance of squeeze and have just perused the packages in synaptic for the first time.I have recently used karmic lenny including a xen live cd which uses lenny as a dom host.This has lead to submitting bug reports because the collection of packages that are used to support virt-manager and xen are extensive and quite problem ridden. I am now to try the latest packages provided by squeeze.

This is like karmic revisited. No xen kernel. I experimented extensively in karmic only to submit bug reports that were ignored because Ubuntu does not support xen as a host, dom0. > Why I don't know?

Is it the same for debian?Why are all xen packages provided but no kernel? I have a xen kernel in any case, but it is an important ommision.Ubuntu and debian have provided and supported xen kernels for previous versions. Has it been unofficially left to SUSE to invest support in xen as a virtualisation form? > This is a Debian mailing list so I think you should ask the Ubuntu specific > questions there.

Yup. I've blocked telnet and some irrelevant ICMP for a long time. It dawned on me the other day that I couldn't think of any reason not to just drop all TCP and UDP traffic to the router's outside IP. > Are you running any sort of routing protocol > or similar that communicates with your ISP's routers, including things like > MPLS, or any VPNs/tunnels that terminate at the border router? No routing protocols on the outside interface. The VPNs are handled by a host in the DMZ. To this router, the VPN traffic looks like just more UDP between public IPs. > What about NAT > or port forwarding on the border router? There's no port forwarding, and NAT all happens inside, on the firewall that connects the outside, the DMZ, and the LAN. This router sees only my routable address space (and its IP on the 1918 net between it and the firewall). -- Glenn English g...@slsware.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Um ... just my 2p: [score -1, redundant] My current rig - Abit NF7-S V2 mobo (Nforce 2 chipset) and Athlon XP CPU - has 3 DIMM slots all the same fetching shade of blue. I initially added two 256Mb sticks in slots 1 & 2, and got dual channel operation (the BIOS reports it at boot time : "Dual Channel Operation Enabled"). When I subsequently added another 512Mb stick in slot 3 this did not apparently affect dual channel operation (the message still appears). Maybe I get dual channel for the first 512Mb, but only single channel for the second 512Mb. I had to refer to the manual, *and* take advice from the wonderful members of alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit. The latter assured me adding the 3rd stick wouldn't prevent dual channel operation. Some day I must try to find out what memory speed I actually get. No more Abit now though, sigh. Cheers Nick -- Q: Why can't scientists just make up their minds already?
