It seems to complain about just one file :-?

Check the log. I barely use aptitude but maybe there is something

I use Evolution and yes, Evolutio relies on NM to determine if a
connection is up or not

If NM says there is no connection, then Evo will go into Offline mode;
sometimes I need to tell it to "Work Online" in order to have it work.

GNOME screensaver's abnormal behaviour

[Merciadri Luca]

Hi,

I have a random GNOME screensaver, a default one, on this computer
(debian Lenny w. kernel 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem).

It gets `paused' by pressing Esc, and is `de-paused' by pressing Esc
again. Left click does the same effect as pushing Esc, but right click
lets me get out of it. I am sometimes unable to get out of it, and I
need to restart the X-server, or go to another tty. I'm pretty sure that
this behaviour is not normal, and I would like to know what would cause
it, and if anybody has ever got the same problems. I looked at the
different logs, but found nothing interesting. Most of the time, simply
moving the mouse gets me out of the screensaver, but, in other cases,
moving the mouse gives nothing, and the situation is the one I describe
with Esc and right click.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

So your search unit is one SQL statement. You need something
that knows SQL syntax and can extract SQL statements from your
file and present them to grep, each on its own line.

If all the semicolons in your SQL code terminate a statement
(E.G. no semicolons in string constants), you might be able to
get away with

  tr '\n;' ' \n'

But grep -z does. This would seem to be an undocumented
limitation of -o.

There are some bugs¹ for "gnome-screensaver". Take a look and check if 
any of them fits into yours.

OTOH, you can:

1/ Review your "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" and "~./xsession-errors"
2/ Try with a fixed screensaver
3/ Try with no screensaver at all, just use display power manager options 
to dim the screen and render it black.

And verify if it's still reproducible.

Are you using any power saving (suspend to ram or suspend to disk) 
settings? Are you using VGA proprietary drivers?

Onboard ethernet adapter lights not flash anymore... Network not connect too!

[Marcelo Laia]

Hi,

Suddenly, my onboard ethernet adapter lights not flash anymore and my
network not connect too! I already have changed the cable and nothing
goes up.

Now, I only could connect by wireless network.

Have you any clue to me?

Re: how to dual boot debian with redhat?

Hello,

the process should be quite straightforward.

1st u need to make sure you have a free partition with no relevant data
on it (partition to instal RH). 

then you simply start installing RedHat on the machine and (this is the
critical part) make absolutelly sure you tell the installer to choose
the correct partition (the partition you choose for RH will be formated
and any data in it will be lost).

in the end you can choose to instal the bootloader (GRUB possibly) and
it will detect you have Debian too and do all the magic for you. grub
usually does a very good job finding you other operatin systems and
automagically configuring the dual-boot...

It's usually a very simple process with no expert knowledge involved.

Just make sure you know exactly which is the partition that is empty
when the RH installer asks you to format the disk. you need to be 100%
sure of this. If you're not just power off the machine.

also make sure GRUB (or LILO, I0'm not sure) is installed in the end.
The normal installation process should probably do this for you. Just
read the messages. there should be no problem.

But... just in case... make a backup of all you important stuff in
Debian.

It does not use opengl at all, seems to be pretty normal screensaver (I

I also have nvidia proprietary drivers and gnome (lenny) but never 
experienced such problem when exiting from screensaver. I use "dimm 
screen" option, anyway.

> But they are mainly used for CUDA capability, aren't they?

IIRC, CUDA driver is a different one than standard nvidia driver. There 
are two sets of drivers and I guess you are using the common one.

Standard nvidia driver provides 3D hardware acceleration and people use 
it mainly for that.

Are you using xinerama (nvidia setting for using two displays as just one 
big desktop) or any other fancy setup for the displays? If yes, you can 
try to disable (just for testing) and see if you still can reproduce the 
error :-?

Does the system detect the ethernet network adapter?

"/usr/bin/lspci | grep Ethernet" will tell.

Also, did the kernel properly configure the card?

"/sbin/ifconfig" will tell.

I think it could be a kernel detection/configuration issue (kernel 2.6.34 
fails to detect my wired intel nic) or just a hardware issue (card went 
bad/died).

Also, check the swicth port you are connecting to is in good shape.

Sure. I don't like special effects. I like plain things that do their

Some months ago, I installed some CUDA stuff, but I don't even

As you point it correctly, I use Xinerama. I had configured my

No need to bother with any of that on Redhat, Redhat has virtualization 
built in all you have to do is enable it, they are the leader in Xen 
based research.  No, I'm not a Redhat fanboy, just had the luxury of 
deploying a couple hundred RHEL based Xen servers into a grid.

Is this bug?  This seems to me user configuration issue.  I am basically
follwing: README.Debian NEWS.Debian.gz of network-manager Just disable
eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces like:


# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
-

Then NM will detect eth0

There you got it. The problem I see here is that while using the nvidia 
driver, developers (meaning, Debian or GNOME DD) are very reluctant to 
diagnose any error coming from (or involving) a closed driver, so your 
only hope is to report any problem at nvidia bugilla (if there is any 
available).

You can also try the "nv" driver (open source). Your screensaver may 
become happy but but you'll lose 3D accel... and "nv" driver is being 
left unmaintained by nvidia guys :-/

I'd better choose a screensaver that doesn't hurt your X.

Re: how to dual boot debian with redhat?

[B. Alexander]

You can also, if you have them partitioned separately, share filesystems. I
used to do that back in the day, with Slackware 2.x and RH 3.0.3. It's just
a matter of mounting the appropriate filesystem to the mount point.

You could probably still do the same with if you are using lvm, as long as
you don't get a namespace collision, e.g. both systems don't use vg00 for
the volume group name.

That said, as an earlier poster said, if you have the resources, use a
virtual machine.

Not for me. But having the NM applet started by default and seeing no 
ethernet device there (but working) is a bit confusing for users who want 
to use NM.

Yes, and that's quite similar to the information that the bug report

KDE proxy settings

[Nima Azarbayjany]

Hi all,

I have a recent Squeeze install on my laptop with only Gnome desktop and
a few KDE software such as Amarok.  I have installed the systemsettings
package but it does not provide any options to set network proxy
settings.  What additional packages should be installed to provide that
module for the control center of KDE?  I tried kdenetwork (if I remember
the package name correctly) which seemed to be the most relevant thing
to me but it did not help.

Thanks.

Nima

agree ! :)

if NM is a feature in Debian (and affects other SW components) then it
should be operating properly on a fresh install... 

... or fully disabled !

but, no... I would also not call it a bug... just an issue :)

The -z "sort of" does/doesn't work for me.  If I do this:

$ perl -e 'print "a\nb\0"'| grep -z 'a.*b'
$

There's no output.  But change it like this:

$ perl -e 'print "a\nb\0"'| grep -z 'a'
a
b$

It found, and printed, the newline containing string.  I would suspect
the regex engine is still honoring '. (dot) does not match newline'
convention but is OK with literals, if present.

If, instead of using the '.*' pattern, I embed a literal newline, it
also works:

$ perl -e 'print "a\nb\0"'| grep -z 'a
> b'
a
b$

And just to prove the point, it does work with multiple null terminated
lines:

perl -e 'print "a\nb\0not here\0"'| grep -z 'a
> b'
a
b$

I'm using GNU grep 2.5.3

how to config /etc/fetchmailrc

I wander how to config /etc/fetchmailrc
I configed it as below:

--
set postmaster "xyz"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
poll imap.gmail.com with proto IMAP user X pass X ssl fetchall
--
my debian username is xyz

but all the mails is fetched to /var/mail/fetchmail, not /var/mail/xyz
I wander why and how to let all mails be fetched into /var/mail/xyz

BTW, I found all mails have been fetched is no longer in the INBOX, for my
gmail. I wander can I make mails stay in the INBOX.

Stubborn USB card reader

[Andre Majorel]

I'm having trouble reading Compact flash and SD cards on the
same card reader. I'm not absolutely certain but it *seems* that
once a medium of either type has been inserted, it will ignore
the other type.

Wherever the state is kept, it's not in the module. modprobe -r
usb-storage; modprobe usb-storage gives a kernel message about
"compact flash" even though the only medium in the reader is an
SD card.

Is there a secret /{proc|sys} spell to make it work ?

Thanks in advance.

What OS do you want to manage grub ? The last installed OS (Redhat?)can 
install grub to the mbr or to the partition. If you tell RH to install grub 
to its partition then Debian can manage grub in the mbr.

My grep -z acts like it used a regexp engine where "." matches
newline. Only when -o is in effect and there is a newline in the
match, there's no output. But the exit status is still good :

  $ printf 'a\nb\0'| (grep -z 'a.*b' && printf 'st=%d chars=' $? >&2) | wc -c
  st=0 chars=4
  $ printf 'a\nb\0'| (grep -oz 'a.*b' && printf 'st=%d chars=' $? >&2) | wc -c
  st=0 chars=0

Have you tested the "unsophisticated" path? Re-plug the USB card reader 
with the desired medium on it. Then issue "mount" to check what 
multimedia card is being mounted/detected and where.

Also, restarting "udev" service (or simulate with "udevtest") may also 
help here :-?

help parsing output

[Dino Vliet]

Dear debian people,

Can you help me with this task I have? I have a lot of files in a subdirectory 
containing the following text:

Correctly Classified Instances 3018117   56.6808 %
Incorrectly Classified Instances   2306643   43.3192 %

   49255   53877   43368 |   c = 3

I need to parse this file to get in a csv file the following information:

{2},Precision {3}, Recall {3}, F-Measure {3},a,b,c,a,b,c,a,b,c

Does anyone have an idea how this could be accomplished?
I not that great in programming so writing a ruby or shell script do do this 
would take me weeks:-(

Thanks

use perl !!!

now seriously: use perl.

don't wonder around; perl is the way you should go; use perl !

:) it's so easy ...

open up a console and read these 2 perl manuals

A starting in Awk for processing a single file would be:

BEGIN {
  n_equals = 0;
}

n_equals == 0 && /Correctly Classified/ {
  CCI = $(NF - 2);
}

n_equals == 0 && /Incorrectly Classified/ {
  ICI = $(NF - 2);
}

n_equals == 0 && /Kappa statistic/ {
  KS = $NF
}

…

/ ===/ { n_equals = n_equals + 1 }

n_equals == 1 && /TP Rate/ {
  next;
}

// More complicated processing

END {
  printf "%d,", CCI
  printf "%d,", ICI
  printf "%f", KS
  …
}

You ought to read the Awk manual, and then it would be a mattle of a
couple of hours of thought at most.

HTH.

wget question

[Curt Howland]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi.

I've wanted to do one thing with wget that just seems like it should 
be easy, but I haven't been able to get a combination of "recurse" 
and "level" that will do it.

All I want to do is download all the files in a specific directory.

The directories are viewable, for example,

http://media.mises.org/mp3/MU2010/

But wget http://media.mises.org/mp3/MU2010/ just gets the index.html 
file, wget http://media.mises.org/mp3/MU2010/* returns an error, and 
the one time I put -r for recursion, it started downloading 
everything in the http://media.mises.org/mp3/ directory!

Does anyone have a trick? Using Konqueror and click-and-dragging every 
single file is a long, boring task that wears out my mouse.

How do I automate standard input for interactive shell programs?

[Timothy Legg]

Hello,

I was bored.  I was playing the worm game from bsdutils and through the
tedium of it all, a thought passed through my mind.  "Hey, this can be
automated.  By following a repetitive procedure, I can win the game - any
time, every time!"  It also occured to me that computers are very well
suited for following repetitive steps, so I thought I would go about
coding a solution.

I believe that having solonoid operated cursor keys is a bit overbuilt,
clunky and is too much like a Goldberg machine for my taste.  So I am
looking for suggestions on how I can emulate a user at standard input
pressing the cursor keys.

Any suggestions?

Check out: http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/wget/wget_31.html it has some 
neat tricks for wget, perhaps some along the lines of what you want.  I 
would test a few but my server is too smart for wget and flat out tells 
it where it can go.

Before inserting the media look at the kernel partition table to see
what is already present.

  $ cat /proc/partitions

While inserting your media watch the syslog.

  $ tail -f /var/log/syslog

Look to see what it says about the device when it is inserted.  After
the device is installed and settled look at the kernel partition table
again to see if the kernel has recognized the partition table.

  $ cat /proc/partitions

I think it likely that different media with different partition tables
are presenting different partitions and confusing things.  Such as
/dev/sda versus /dev/sda1 versus /dev/sda5 or other such differences.

There is another game like this too.  It can keep the computer about
as busy.  It is a little easier to write on the command line though.

A "standard" tool for this task is 'expect'.

  $ apt-cache show expect

Expect is a tool for automating interactive applications according
to a script.  Following the script, Expect knows what can be
expected from a program and what the correct response should be.
Expect is also useful for testing these same applications.  And by
adding Tk, you can also wrap interactive applications in X11 GUIs.
An interpreted language provides branching and high-level control
structures to direct the dialogue.  In addition, the user can take
control and interact directly when desired, afterward returning
control to the script.

It is designed to spawn programs, expect certain output, send certain
input.  It is based upon TCL.  That is both good and bad.  People will
certainly have opinions about TCL both ways.  You might want to use
the Perl Expect module instead.

  $ sudo apt-get install libexpect-perl

And then you can 'use Expect;' and proceed from there.

  http://search.cpan.org/~rgiersig/Expect-1.15/Expect.pod

Or the Ruby or Python versions of the same.  Then you would have Perl,
Ruby, Python and the full capabilities thereof (instead of TCL) to use
in the programming of your toy.

Good luck!

I did a sub-shell and reset all the variables to match yours, and,
bingo, the wildcard worked.

Looking through the list of names, nothing seems 'obvious' as a single
contributor.  In fact, the LC_ names all seem to be specific to things
that would not necessarily impact the regex operation.

So, I picked LANG as a starting point and reset it, *only*, to empty.
And got lucky.  That is, apparently, the variable that affects how the
regex is handled.

Debian startup help

[rame0065]

Hi,

I have a question regarding the startup of Debian Linux.

I am working on a embedded processor called TS-7800. It has debian linux 
installed on the hardware.


I wanted to include some of own scripts during the startup. So, I began 
with smaller statements(like echo, printf etc..) just for testing purposes.


In the process of testing, I created a script file as below:
/my_script.sh

contents of this file was only:
--
(
  echo "Hello World"
) > $CONSOLE
--
This executed fine. But I wanted to read a user input so I changed it to:
--
(
  echo "Hello World"
  read letter
  echo $letter
) > $CONSOLE
--
Then with no intention of mine, somehow, the "$" symbol from the "echo
$letter" statement got ommitted.
Now the script reads:
--
(
  echo "Hello World"
  read letter
  echo letter
) > $CONSOLE
--

Now during the startup, it is stuck at displaying the "letter" word
infinitely.
I am not able to reach the prompt at all. It is stuck in the booting mode 
indefinitely.


Can you please help me with this? I am really close to be done with my 
project and I cant take the risk of not being able to use my code.


Thanks again for all your help.

I like the interactive curses-based aptitude, but I was confused by it
at first.  Here are some hints in case you decide to try it:

u   update the package list
+   mark a package for installation
-   mark a package for uninstallation
g   "go" and install/uninstall the marked packages
_   purge a package
ctrl-u  undo
 expand/collapse a menu/category, or get details on a package
q   quit whatever mode you are in
/   search
n   when searching, find the next match
N   when searching, find the previous match

and don't forget that you can use your mouse to access the menus.  I'm
not sure if that requires an x-server or not, though.

Anti virus and Firewall

[Tingez Unknown]

Hi all Debian people,

Firstly i am very new to Debian so please excuse me for my lack of
understanding. I have recently got a Dedicated server box for my gaming Clan
and have had Debian 5 64bit installed on it. Now as we will eventually be
using the server for our web site for forums, Emails, sending and receiving
files and all other aspects web site related, fast redirect downloading
system for game server maps, mods etc., ftp, Big brother bot game server
software and game servers of varying games.

I am looking for any suggestions regarding Anti virus and firewall software
that is suitable with your Debian 5 64bit operating system. Wanting to add
as much security as possible to our server to reduce any problems we may
encounter. I would like any suggestions as to the best software that can be
used either paid for or freeware if you would be so kind.



Kind Regards

Martin

looks to me like your biggest problem is that each file has several 
sections, each in different formats, so it's not just a matter getting 
everything into a uniform tabular structure for import into a 
spreadsheet.  You might want to think of this as a several step process 
that either:
a. breaks each file into several files, each of a uniform format, then 
process each type of file separately, or b,
c. process each file to normalize it into something that's easier to 
turn into csv format


Or, as someone suggested - hire someone.  This is the silly kind of task 
that's really easy if your facile with regular expressions, shell 
scripts, and such; but can end up taking forever to get right.  Judging 
from the sample data, I'm guessing your at a university, there should be 
enough student hackers around who work cheap.

While antivirus software exists for GNU/Linux systems such as Debian,
it's not really needed as most viruses are targeting Windows machines.
If you are concerned about the potential impact, I would recommend
running SELinux coupled with AIDE over any antivirus software. While
their goals are slightly different, the overall idea is the same- lock
down the server, and prevent any unouthorized changes to the filesystem.

When changes occur, report the change, and give an ability to restore
completely from backup. The best antivirus software will do for you is
report the virus, and attempt to remove the virus. Because you can never
be sure what has been changed, it's always best to do a reinstall after
an infection. You would do the same with SELinux and AIDE.

In terms of firewall, the Linux kernel has a builtin firewall through
the Netfilter module and the 'iptables' userspace command. There are
frontends for iptables, if it is too intimidating for you. There's also
TCP wrappers and xinetd for additional firewalling. You could even using
ACLs to allow and deny access to your services.

show (apt-cache show) nspluginwrapper says it depends in ia32-libs which
has been broken for month now.  So the nspluginwrapper package will not 
install.


srch (apt-cache search) npviewer does not bring up anything, so I 
suppose, that npviewer is not currently packaged.


All that info, and more, is available by using the package tools debian 
has available.  As I do not use ice-ape, it seems buggy here, I can not 
help you further.

NUMLOCKX Debian KDE4

[Jimmy Johnson]

Here's the problem, in unstable and testing numlock on, light not on, 
numlock off, light on ?!?


I've tried it by removing numlockx and it's config files and numlock 
works as expected (OK), but numlock is not on at boot and I won't it on 
at boot, checking the box to turn numlock on, will not turn it on at login.


I don't have the problem with kde3/Lenny.

How can I get the light to work proper (light on/numlock on) at boot 
without removing numlockx?


A little more info: both testing and unstable are currently using the 
same kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64 and I think the problem came with the kernel.

Re: Anti virus and Firewall

[Nuno Magalhães]

Hi,

As Aaron Toponce said, most viruses target Windows, but if you share a
lot of files it would be nice (for your windows users) to scan them.
Try clamav: http://www.clamav.net/
Debian package clamav i tihnk, and it installs freshclam as well for updates.

As for firewall, i'm happy with shorewall, debian package with the same name.

I don't use a mail server (again an antivirus would be nice for email
attachments - plus spamfilter!), as for FTP i prefer using scp over
ssh, and for webserver i use nginx.

I've heard about tripwire, which might be similar to what Aaron mentioned.

HTH,
Nuno

Checking a block device

[GNUbie]

Hello all,

How can I check if a block device (partition) has one or any of the
following characteristics:

[1] raw

[2] has content

[3] formatted

but without actually mounting it?

Please advice. Thank you in advance.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but that sounds a lot like a homework question
that you should be figuring out on your own.

I always start upgrading well before the new release is made. I start by
upgrading the packages that I use most of the time (ex:- iceweasel, vim,
konsole, knode etc.,). That way if there is a problem I can report the bugs
and have them fixed before the release is actually made.

While this is beneficial to Debian, it is often not beneficial to the
user (except for indirectly, since what benefits Debian, benefits the
user). It would be best if this is done in a testing environment,
outside of the actual production machine.

Thank you. The home page looks good. It includes the traffic of package 
download.
However, I want to know the difference of binary and source download.
Especially I want to know the rate of source code download per binary package.
Is there any other good statistics?

I get an interesting reply on debian-users JP ML from Muto-san.
He tell me the statistics of .deb and .dsc download on "ftp.jp.debian.org" in 
last 4 weeks.
   .deb: 776055
   .dsc: 293

In simple comparison, 1 .src file is download per 2,600 .deb downloads.
It is interesting rate.  I think it means something to consider.
I want to know the situation on other download site.

I'd use "file" as a first pass.  After that, perhaps some custom script.

I don't know how that embedded mainboard works, but if you messed the on-
board flash memmory, there must be a jumper/switch to reset the board 
into factory mode/setup or just to allow booting from MMC/SD card and 
work from there :-?

Refer to the board manual.

Did you make any changes to the software? If not it could also be a

There are some reports in both, Debian BTS and KDE. Check if any of these 
apply in your case:

***
/usr/bin/kde4: NumLock led behaves inversely if num lock is turned on 
kde4 startup
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533831

Bug 183308 -  Numlock Light Indicator Shuts Off After Activation within 
KDE 4.2 and Subsequent Log out or Reboot  
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183308
***

So maybe a KDE bug/problem? :-?
