I used to be able to do certain things like removing troublesome messages and 
such using webmin. Is there any other way?

Yes.
Of course it's list policy to ask smart questions, but it's also list 
policy not to give useless answers (well, not policy, but it's certainly 
recommended).
@David: read 
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/index.html for 
the full documentation.
exim has a cli interface to remove frozen messages, man exim for

I have never had a problem with this in the 4/5 years that I have been using 
Linux, with a large variety of different scroll wheel mice on a number of 
different computers and in various distros.  I find a scroll wheel mouse much 
easier to use than a three button mouse, because the distinction between the 
buttons is easier to identify.

Dual Monitors Twin View on Nvidia

2010-05-18 Thread James Allsopp
Hi,
I've a small 4:3 monitor which was working fine with Debian at about
1152x864 (VGA connection) on a nvidia 9500GT with the proprietary drivers
(sorry want to experiment with CUDA so non-free wasn't an option). However,
I've just bought a new 1080p TV and connected it to the computer via HDMI.
This unfortunately has permanently knocked the resolution down on the
monitor to 800x600, which is next to unusable. Would anyone with a similar
configuration be willing to share an xorg.conf or share some advice on this.
I think I'd like the monitor to be either 1280x960, 1152x864, 1024x768 and
the TV to work at 1600x900 1366x768 or 1280x720.


Thanks for any help!
Jim


Re: Dual Monitors Twin View on Nvidia

2010-05-18 Thread Sebastian Weisgerber

One possible solution is using the "nvidia-settings"-Tool.
You can configure your display-settings in a GUI and save it  
permanently to an xorg file.

I'm using this method since years and it works very well and flawlessly.

Could you be more specific where you saw them or where you got this
impression?  So we can make corrective action to reduce confusion.

(Sid gets no corresponding "security" repository like
stable/updates nor testing/updates because we can upload directly to it
any time.)

I am thinking to add text to Debian reference to reduce such confusion.

Now:
If "sid" is used in the above example instead of "lenny", the "deb:
http://security.debian.org/ …" line for security updates in the
"/etc/apt/sources.list" is not required. Security updates are only
available for stable and testing (i.e., lenny and squeeze).

(I should have explained better.)

New:
If "sid" is used in the above example instead of "lenny", the "deb:
http://security.debian.org/ …" line for security updates in the
"/etc/apt/sources.list" is not required. This is because "sid"
(unstable) is always updated whenever security issues are fixed.  There
is no need to have a separate security update archive for "sid".

X11 just froze, and /var/log/syslog (dmesg)'s output seems to mean something

Hi,

I realized that my computer (this one, Debian Lenny, w. k.
2.6.26-2-686-bigmem) was frozen. I tried escaping from the screensaver,
but nothing worked, except launching another tty, and restarting gdm.
Here is the interesting output I obtained by looking at /var/log/syslog
and dmesg:

Hmm . . . to someone not more familiar with Debian practices, the new
version seems more confusing. I would read that and think that Sid is
very secure because it always has the latest security fixes.  If that's
not what we mean, then perhaps the current version needs only slight
revision for clarity, e.g.,

Now:

Packages in Sid do not receive security updates from the security team.
They do receive security updates from the maintainer of the package but
the security team does not monitor Sid.  The maintainer will often
address a security problem by packaging the next upstream version rather
than backporting the fix as the security team does.

Ah, then I misunderstood your previous message to mean Sid did not have

Perhaps you should add to this "This is because "sid" (unstable) is
always updated whenever security issues are fixed." that, in the case
of sid, security updates are downloaded by apt from "deb ... main" (or
uploaded by DDs to "deb ... main").

English improvement welcome along the reality.

Sid is secure since security team usually upload fixed packages to both
stable/updates and unstable. (Or simply uploading updated upstream fixes
unstable whilr stable needs DD to fix by a special patch.) 

They tries or trying to do the same for testing but resource limitation
is holding them back.

That seems to be unrelated with a X freeze. Looks like a keyboard key 
mapping error but nothing serious.

Just review your "/var/log/Xorg.0.log". If X crashed there must something

May I suggest:

If "sid" is used in the above example instead of "lenny", the "deb:
http://security.debian.org/ …" line for security updates in the
"/etc/apt/sources.list" is not required as there is no need to have a 
separate security update archive for "sid". This is because "sid"
(unstable) is *usually* updated whenever security issues are fixed for 
stable.

However, it can happen that the fixes are not applied immediately (e.g.  
the maintainer is waiting for a new version from upstream which fixes 
the issue) or issues exist which do not affect the version in stable or 
testing, in which case Debian will not even issue a DSA.
---
(DSA might need expanding/explaining if not already done in some other 
paragraph)

I thought John Hasler's response was very good. It explained why I was
confused - there are security updates but they are not the same type of
updates as testing and stable receive.  Perhaps John's wording should be
included; it clarified a very murky issue for me - John

How to run an X program as a different user?

2010-05-18 Thread Robert Latest
Hello all,

my question is already in the subject line. Also I think that I've got
the basics figured out, it's just that I don't understand the details.

Essentially I want user A to run a specific X app as user B. So I
think I need to write a tiny shell script like this:

#!/bin/sh
xhost +B
sudo -u B /path/to/app arg1 arg2 arg3
xhost -B

I need help with two things though:

One, "xhost +B" doesn't work, contrary to the manpage. "xhost +"
works, granting X access to the entire Net, but who cares. This is
just a home computer.

Two, I can't figure out for the life of me what the entry in
/etc/sudoers must look like to make sudo do what I want.

Thanks,
robert

Nothing really interesting there. Just:

Note that I do not think that X crashed entirely. I just mean that the

The security team does not support Sid.  That's up to the individual

Accelerating directory's content's viewing: how, is directory is huge?

2010-05-18 Thread Merciadri Luca
Hi,

I have many media files in some specific directory (folder, call it as
you want). Loading the folder takes ~30 sec., even if I am using quite
fast HDDs, etc. They're all on the same partition. I have disabled
previewing, or thumbnails.

How can I do to make this process faster?

Slow to ls?  reiserfs, xfs, btrfs, or the dir_index option and hash_alg 
extended option of ext3.

Is the directory fast to ls, but slow to render in a GUI?  Problem is likely 
with the GUI.

How many files?  It may be better to convert to a "stepped" directory 
structure.

E.g.:
Instead of:
/home/abel
/home/alfred
/home/ada
[...]
/home/zelda
/home/zola
/home/zoolander

Use:
/home/a/abel
/home/a/alfred
/home/a/ada
[...]
/home/z/zelda
/home/z/zola
/home/z/zoolander
Or: (usually only when names are fixed-length)
/home/a/bel
/home/a/lfred
/home/a/da
[...]
/home/z/elda
/home/z/ola
/home/z/oolander

I'm most familiar with using this for ASCII names, but it can be converted to 
work with other names.  Japanese can use stroke count of the first character 
instead of first character, for example.

http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

 This area contains the most recent packages in Debian. Once a package
has met our criterion for stability and quality of packaging, it will be
included in testing. unstable is also not supported by the security team.


http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch2.en.html#s2.3

2.3 How does Debian handle security?
.
.
.
Information regarding security is centralized in a single point,
http://security.debian.org/.



http://www.debian.org/security/faq#unstable

Q: How is security handled for unstable?

A: The short answer is: it's not. Unstable is a rapidly moving target
and the security team does not have the resources needed to properly
support it. If you want to have a secure (and stable) server you are
strongly encouraged to stay with stable.

Is taht Thunderbird 2 or 3? In 2 I could not find a way to permanently

Well, this is effectively Icedove 2.0.0.22 (20090706). How did you

Thunderbird's WebMail addon (used together with `-Hotmail' extension of it) download sometimes all the e-mails since some date, even if they have already been retrieved at another period

2010-05-18 Thread Merciadri Luca
Hi,

As explained in the title, I am using Icedove 2.0.0.22 (20090706) with
some add-ons, such as `WebMail'. This add-on lets it fetch your e-mails
from mail servers only dealing with special protocols (not as POP, IMAP,
etc.). I use it together with `WebMail -Hotmail', that is, to check my
Hotmail e-mails with Icedove. It works pretty well after some config,
but it sometimes download many e-mails which have already been
retrieved. It must be a bug in WebMail's add-on. Has somebody already
encountered this problem?

Thanks.

Thanks. I just verified, and it is surely not implemented in my
Icedove's version. I should get the new one (which is not in stable

Alternatively,

sux B /path/to/app arg1 arg2 arg3
Needs user B's password.
Requires package sux.

If you have sshd set up with X forwarding enabled, you could also do
ssh -X b...@localhost /path/to/app arg1 arg2 arg3
but this one feels like overkill.

You are better off using the upstream tarball of thunderbird then trying 
to backport Icedove from squeeze/lenny. Install to your homedir or /opt. 
As long as your user has write perms to file, it has an update manager 
that can upgrade itself (somewhat eliminating the need for package 
management).

How about this instead of the last paragraph:

---
Please note that the Security Team does not monitor unstable. It is up 
to the individual maintainer to fix the issue. This may under 
circumstances take longer, e.g. if the maintainer is waiting for a new 
version from upstream. There are also no Debian Security Advisories 
(DSA) for issues that are present in the unstable version of a software, 
but not the versions in stable and/or testing.
---

Aoki-san, what do you think, is this getting too long? I also thought 
about mentioning alternate sources to get security informations (CVEs 
and such).

Andrei

Next time it happens, go to a tty and type "top" to list the processes in 
use. Sort the table by CPU cycles and/or memory use. The slowness could 
be caused by a "rampant" program consuming a lot of resources.

Don't use a GUI tool that's designed for small subdirectories.



Slow to ls?  reiserfs, xfs, btrfs, or the dir_index option and hash_alg

Is the directory fast to ls, but slow to render in a GUI?  Problem is likely

Sorry, it is only slow to GUI (nautilus).

Don't use Nautilus, or reorganize your directory structure.

Globally map to

2010-05-18 Thread Vadim Matveev
How can i globally map  to work as ? It is default in
rxvt-unicode and vimperator, but i want it to work this way with any X
application. I tried xbindkey with 'xdotool key Return', but it is too
slow - about 1 sec delay, useless.
Maybe it should be solved via WM (xmonad), but anyway i don't know how.
Any solution?

Anyway, to also clearly answer the question about testing security
support, same manual #8:
Q: How is security handled for testing?

A: If you want to have a secure (and stable) server you are strongly
encouraged to stay with stable. However, there is security support for
testing: The Debian testing security team handles issues for testing.
They will make sure that the fixed packages enter testing in the usual
way by migration from unstable (with reduced quarantine time), or, if
that still takes too long, make them available via the the normal
http://security.debian.org infrastructure. To use it, make sure the
following line is in /etc/apt/sources.list:

So yes, testing *does* receive security support

hald start problem

2010-05-18 Thread Rytis Daugirdas
Hello,

On my Debian system hald fails to start randomly. Logs do not show any
errors.

When I restart it and it does start, the output looks like this:

r...@laptop:~# /etc/init.d/hal restart
Restarting Hardware abstraction layer: hald.
r...@laptop:~#

When I restart it and it does NOT start, the output looks like this:

r...@laptop:~# /etc/init.d/hal restart
Restarting Hardware abstraction layer: haldr...@laptop:~#

As you can see in the latter case some expected output (".\n") is missing.
Also, the return code is 1 instead of 0 which clearly indicates a failure.

I tried the same quite a few times and it's completely random. What could be
the problem?

shoe horn KDE3.5 system

2010-05-18 Thread richard
Hi 
it sounds a bit weird but its pretty close to what I need to do.
As you can see from my footer I use mandriva and I like it.
I have however an app which does not.
It needs QT3 and KDE3.5 to run, anfd it has to be run in a KDE DM. It crashes
when run on gnome.I have made space in the middle of one of the two SATA drives.
There's about 100 GB it can use.
I have gone back on Mandriva releases and 2008.0 was the last to solely use
KDE3.5, if piklab finds a KDE4 lib it crashes, and from MDV2008.1 they merged.
MDV 2008.0 would be OK but it won't recognise SATA HDs.
I tried Ubuntu to try and load it in that 100 Gb gap, but it wanted all of the
drive, even when told use unused space.
I know Debian is stable, will the installer if told install its self on to an
unused section of the SATA HD and put its bootloader at the start of the rott
partition , ie" /", not /root.
Is the a version that used KDE3.5, QT3 that will work on a SATA HD, will the 32
bit versions run on a 64 bit or must I use the AMD_64 version.
Are the any problem with the kernel supplied with what ever version is
suggested with RTL8111/8168B PCI express ethernet cards, on MDV certain kernels
in 2009 had problems with the driver for that card.

A quick reply would really be appreciated, I've been trying to get this app to
run for the last couple of days without any luck.

TIA

You should run "aptitude unmarkauto grub-legacy" and remove the
transitional grub package.  Unfortunately the case where a transitional
package A pulls in another package B is not handled well by the package
managers, I always end up "aptitude unmarkauto B; aptitude markauto A"
to tell apt that I want to keep the new package and that it can remove
the transitional one as soon as nothing depends on it anymore.


The following NEW packages will be installed:
... grub-pc{a} ...

So why does aptitude pay no attention to my pin?


Because it decides that the grub-legacy package is unused and can be
removed despite the pin.  Whether this is the right thing is debatable;
I'm sure you find some bug reports about that if you dig into the long
list of aptitude bugs.



That explains it well, thanks

  Pinning tells aptitude which version of a package to pick.  It
doesn't tell it to avoid removing the package from the system, or to
guess that you don't want other packages on the system.

  It looks to me like something else required grub-pc, and that in
turn forced grub-legacy to be removed.  You could try pinning grub-pc
at a very low priority to see whether that helps, although without
knowing what's causing grub-pc to get pulled in, it's hard to say
whether that will really do the trick.



Didn't help. I don't know what is causing grub-pc to get pulled in.

High pin scores can be thrown off, even without high-scoring dependency
issues, if there are more than two releases involved.

Hi Luca,

If you're using ext2/ext3, turning off dir/file access time might help.
Edit /etc/fstab and add noatime,nodiratime on the appropriate line,
like in the example below:

/dev/hdb2   /home   ext3   defaults,noatime,nodiratime   0   2

I see: "unstable is also not supported by the security team".  This is
true as official stance of secutrty team.

But I also see quite a bit of NMU by many DD (or by the maintainer) on
unstable package fixing security issues using the latest upsream. 
So it is getting some security fixes (but not by security team.) 

Testing security update requires much more work and security team has
resource issues to be throrough as they want.  Thus coming back to
original question on security support situation:

testingvs. unstable ?  
answer: practically 0 security support vs. some security support
^  but not by security team.
|
|--- usualy wait for migration of fixed package from unstable
 (Sometimes, migration takes quite a long time)

The unstable is better shape in general.  But it is not as secure as the
stable system with secutity updates by the security team.
 
> http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch2.en.html#s2.3
> http://www.debian.org/security/faq#unstable

All these are true statement.

If a package is dead upstream with slow maintainer, such package may
stay in unstable with security issues and RC bugs.

Chromium Xperience

2010-05-18 Thread KS
Hi all,

I have been an Iceweasel user since it entered Debian repositories. A
few days ago I discovered that Chromium was also available for Debian
and installed it.

I feel it is more responsive and is "faster" than Iceweasel This could
be due to Chromium using different task for every tab it opens and using
its own window decorations (Iceweasel uses GTK+ and I use KDE). Even
with each tab increasing the use of memory by about 30MB, it still feels
faster than Iceweasel. No real tests done here, but Chromium does win
for responsiveness to a casual user.

Being an Iceweasel user with the Adblock+ extension, I'm accustomed to
(almost) adfree web browsing. This hasn't worked as smoothly with
Chromium. There is an Adblock extension available for Chromium, but it
works in a different way that it shows the advertisement while the page
is loading and then hides the element. This is not as clean as Iceweasel
(firefox). In addition, the extension didn't block Google adverts!
Iceweasel takes this round (very important).

And then comes the topic of shortcuts. I love the "/" shortcut for
Iceweasel, Chromium still uses the two-key combination of Ctrl+F!
Another fast shortcut is the Ctrl+Shift+Del which brings up the priate
data delete box. In Chromium one has to go through either preferences or
first History > Edit Items and then delete.

Chromium was also behaving oddly when playing flash video on full
screen. The video was full screen but behind the browser window!

The Adblock+ advantage with Iceweasel is the one factor which might keep
me away from Chromium unless better adblocking is implemented.

What is the experience of other users who have tested out Chromium in
Debian?

KS.

I have the dev build installed. I used it a bit to play with Youtube's
html5 version.
I guess it's kind of fast, but I didn't really notice, although I
didn't feel like using
in a realistic browsing session of mine. I am kind of curious about how it
would work when every session involves reopening 50-120 tabs (which is
normal for me), but I can't tolerate the UI for that long -_-

To the extent I did use it, it worked ok. On one of the dev updates, html5
audio was broken, but I filed a bug and it was soon fixed.


Cheers,

Scripting gnome-panels

2010-05-18 Thread Eric Persson
I have a small bashscript which prepares a dual-monitor setup for my 
laptop, since i'm moving in and out of the office and meetings, I tend 
to attach and disconnect the monitor a few times a day.


That works fine with xrandr, but the issue is that I would like some 
gnome panels to move, and add one to the extra monitor. I have googled 
around but cant seemt o find that it would be possible, but it must be 
in some way, us usual. So, any hints?


Basically, add one panel to one monitor, and add a window list to that 
panel.


Best regards,
  Eric
