Hm looking through the Oracle website I don't think Oracle provides their
database for Linux on Sparc the architecture. Looks like they support Linux
only on x86 so this combination won't work as desired.

There is a "localization" package for gcc-4.4 but contains only non-
English languages:

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/gcc-4.4-locales

In fact, my "/usr/share/locale/en/" folder is almost empty (just one mo

My god, what on earth are you browsing?! (or are you running an ancient 
version?)

I use iceweasel at home and chromium at work.  Both work pretty well.

chromium (6.0.472.53) has the very nice "close a tab and get all its
memory back" feature which makes it useful on my relatively
memory-constrained work machine.  However it does tend to use more
memory than iceweasel while actually performing equivalent tasks, is
generally buggier, and some features are much creakier (see below).

Iceweasel (3.6.9) tends to grab memory and keep it (closing tabs may
free some memory, may not), but eventually reaches a stable point and
seems to do OK with memory once it reaches that (it may have long term
leaks, but I generally close my browser every few hours anyway).
It also has far superior [more functional, vastly faster] keyboard /
address-bar functionality (e.g., the "awesomebar" ) than
chromium, and generally feels quicker and more responsive.

Overall I'd say I prefer iceweasel, but the chromium tab implementation
make it a good choice in certain contexts.

If you want your memory back in Iceweasel when closing a tab, it is
possible to do this with the browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo¹ setting
in about:config.  Personally I find it very useful that accidental tab
closing can easily be undone.

Really?  I haven't used Chromium that much yet, but it seems to display
web pages much faster than Iceweasel.  However, there are usability
issues: no way to quickly enable/disable Javascript, no equivalent to
about:config for instance.

Odd.  I haven't had a MS Windows system available in my household for 6 years.

While Konq used to fail on many sites, I was always about to use Firefox or
Iceweasel to fill in the gaps.



The situation has improved a lot in the last year or so as more and more 
sites come to the realization that Microsoft compatibility is not as 
desirable as standards compatibility (and to a very tiny degree, so has 
Microsoft itself).  The availability of Flash on Linux was a godsend,

couldn't count on it working from day to day.


I have not tried midori; I have now put it on my TODO list.  I second 
that links2 is pretty snazzy, but lack of Javascript is a deal-breaker. 
 I use Gnome, and Konquerer is anathema.  (KDE 4 is anathema to my sanity.)


I keep Windows around for games.  In the family, also, my mother will 
not tolerate any changes to her setup, she uses Windows and is set in 
her ways, and I am called on to maintain that machine.

Taking a guess at what that fedora package contains, I would say you are

Since most of us know more about debian than about fedora, it might be
helpful, if you could just tell us what you would like to do with that
package...

My guess is that its name would start with linux- (there are not only
linux kernels in debian). You could just search and check the
descriptions of these packages with aptitude.

Looks a lot like the kernel headers, are you trying to build out of
tree kernel modules?

If you install the linux-headers-2.6- meta package (eg
linux-headers-2.6-amd64 or linux-headers-2.6-686 would be the most
common ones. see here [1] for all) you will automatically get the
correct newest kernel headers.

Thanks a lot for that 'deallocvt'. That's all the things I need. I don't 
have console-kit-daemon or gdm running, so it is much simpler for me.

I don't have the console-kit package, so it is not the cause. Please go 
ahead and report it just against xserver-xorg. They will move it to more 
proper places if necessary, as my experiences tell me.

I'm not really talking about rendering speed (both seem fine in that
respect, maybe chromium is a bit faster for certain types of pages
[javascript heavy?]), but the "feel"; I suppose that's how fast they
respond to keyboard commands etc.

[chromium 5.xxx also had some really awful font-rendering issues
(KDE apps show the same problems, and I gather webkit/kde share some
history...). but those seem to have been fixed in 6.xxx.]

Luckily, of course, the competition seems to be spurring both parties to
greater feats ... :]

unknown skype traffic

2010-09-09 Thread T o n g
Hi,

Disclaim: I installed skype just recently because I have to use skype for 
work instead of pleasure. 

I notice a strange 15K inbound and 15K outbound traffic just now (they  
should both be zero normally). iftop shows connections from sites that I 
never know before. netstat reveals that all such traffic are from skype:

making the web server also a dns server

2010-09-09 Thread Siju George
Hi,

I have registered a domain "livingwaters-international.org".
 The website is currently running in google pages.

I would like to know how I can change the website as well as the DNS
server to a dedicated server I have.

If I configure Bind9 as the DNS server I can configure the nameserver as

ns1.livingwaters-international.org

So when I configure the name server for
"livingwaters-international.org" should I configure the IP address
instead of "ns1.livingwaters-international.org" ?

I mean if the NS record is configured on the nameserver itself how
will the IP of the NS record be resolved before contacting the name
server?

thanks :-)

AFAIK, in your domain name settings, you can use the FQDN or the IP as 
nameserver.

In your bind9 configuration file you have to point "ns1.livingwaters-
international.org" to your IP address. 

I would suggest the use of a secondary DNS server from another company, 
just in case yours goes off-line.

Can you provide additional data?

For example, can he browse the web just fine or is he getting also a 
"time out"?

Does the e-mail provider (or the ISP he is connecting through) require a 
specific configuration, like proxy settings or VPN setup?

Okay, so no problem with connection settings.

Does it fail while sending e-mails, receiving or both?

How to get rid of the websites' ads/flash ads, without loosing their (flash) content?

2010-09-09 Thread Merciadri Luca
Hi,

There are sometimes some websites (such as news ones) which make an
extensive use of flash stuff. Amongst the animations, flash is sometimes
also used for ads, etc., and I don't like this. Are there any Iceweasel
tools which can detect these ads, or use a public DB to avoid displaying
these ads? Or is there any related solution?

Thanks.

Re: xset command setting not sticking

2010-09-09 Thread Tech Geek
>I'd put a zenity line in there ( zenity --info --text "Run from .xinitrc" )
>that will wait for you to press 'ok'
I tried it. I do get the dialog box but after clicking "OK" I get the dialog
saying:
"Your last session only lasted for less than 10 seconds. If you have not
logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem
or that you may be out of diskspace. Try logging in with one of the failsafe
sessions to see if you can fix this problem."

and then it logs me out to the GDM login screen again.

Upon viewing .xsesson-errors file I see just one line:

"/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup..."

Please not that I entered the zenity command in .xinitrc file and then I
did:

ln -s .xinitrc .xsession

in order to make GDM read the file. It seems that GDM honors .xsession file
and not .xinitrc [1].

Also at this point no matter what command I give in .xsession (basically
.xinitrc) I do get the "Your last session..." message and the system logs
out. It seems that GDM is trying out to log out of GNOME as soon as
processes the .xsession file.

Not sure what's wrong here...

detect ethernet card?

2010-09-09 Thread Atu
I have a PC with built-in ethernet support. When I installed lenny, I didn't 
have network connectivity (I didn't have my external networking hardware 
yet), so I just chose "no network" to make the installer stop pestering me 
about ethernet detection, updates and so on. The installation went fine.

Now I have all my networking hardware in place, and it works (tested with 
another computer). I want to add network functionality to my lenny-PC, but I 
can't bring eth0 up with "ifup eth0":

#ifup eth0
[...]
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Bind socket to interface: No such device
Failed to bring up eth0.
#

lspci -v sees the ethernet chip on the mainboard though. At least it tells me 
the precise model number. I can load the kernel module ("e1000") for this 
ethernet chip or not, the error message stays the same.

It's not a DNS problem, ping (to a numerical address) fails.

I tried googling, and there are plenty of occurences of this error message, 
but on every single google link the problem is due to virtualization (VMWare 
mostly). Whereas in my case there is no virtualization involved. It's root on 
the console in my case. So google found nothing helpful.

How do I repeat the "install network" part of the installer?

I configured /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and /etc/network/interfaces.

How to setup X fonts on Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze?

2010-09-09 Thread Csanyi Pal
Hi,

my system is Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze.

I have installed amongs others following fonts:
otf-freefont
ttf-freefont
ttf-unifont
xfonts-100dpi
xfonts-100dpi-transcoded
xfonts-75dpi
xfonts-75dpi-transcoded
xfonts-base
xfonts-biznet-100dpi
xfonts-biznet-75dpi
xfonts-biznet-base
xfonts-bolkhov-75dpi
xfonts-bolkhov-cp1251-75dpi
xfonts-bolkhov-cp1251-misc
xfonts-bolkhov-misc
xfonts-cyrillic
xfonts-encodings
xfonts-intl-european
xfonts-mathml
xfonts-scalable
ttf-bitstream-vera
ttf-dejavu
ttf-dejavu-core
ttf-dejavu-extra
ttf-liberation
ttf-lyx
ttf-opensymbol
ttf-sil-gentium
ttf-sil-gentium-basic
ttf-unifont

In Xorg.0.log i can find only following fonts loaded:
(==) FontPath set to:
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,

/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType,
built-ins

On Squeeze there doesn't any xorg.conf needed and I want not use it, so
how can I setup font paths for installed fonts?

Re: xset command setting not sticking

OK after doing some more research I found the answer.

1. nano .xsession

2. Add contents:
#~/bin/bash
xset s off -dpms &
exec gnome-session

apt and qt4-X11 bugs in testing upgrade?

2010-09-09 Thread AG

Greetings all

Has anyone else come across this when upgrading testing using Update 
Manager?  I'm using Gnome, but suspect that that doesn't matter too much 
given this is system-wide rather than DE-specific.


Updates have been backed up for several days now due to some errors with 
apt and qt4-X11 bugs.  apt safe-upgrade produces this error:


[code]

Retrieving bug reports... Done
Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done
critical bugs of apt (0.7.25.3 -> 0.8.0) 
 #595691 - apt-get updates stalls forever if some files on mirror have 
0 bytes (Fixed: apt/0.8.2)

   Merged with: 595812
grave bugs of apt (0.7.25.3 -> 0.8.0) 
 #595428 - apt again lost support for Apt::GPGV::TrustedKeyring (Fixed:

Summary:

Are you sure you want to install/upgrade the above packages? [Y/n/?/...]

[/code]


I ran apt-get autoclean and a string of files were deleted, and then I 
ran aptitude safe-upgrade, and got the same output.


But, using the Update Manager which works with synaptic, the grave bugs 
error is given as before, and when I enter 'n' to proceeding, the 
following output pops up:


[code]

W: Failed to fetch 
http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qt4-x11/libqtgui4_4.6.3-1+b1_i386.deb

  Hash Sum mismatch

W: Failed to fetch 
http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qt4-x11/libqt4-xmlpatterns_4.6.3-1+b1_i386.deb

  Hash Sum mismatch

[/code]

So in addition to the grave bugs in apt there are hash sum errors in 
qt4-X11 files?  How do I sidestep these bugs and try to maintain an 
otherwise up-to-date system?


Thanks for thoughts.

AG

Thanks, Camaleón, but no luck. I carefully reread the Debian debconf
questions, and yet questions remain. 

In the dpkg-reconfigure section one question asks whether to hide
local mail names. What shows up by default is my _local_ domain
name. I gather this hiding refers to what appears in the message
envelop, and so my intuition is that I would not want the local domain
name there. I changed the default to just the domain name. For
example, my current machine is teufel.historicalMaterialism.info, and
I changed this to historicalMaterialism.info. Was this a mistake?

Likewise, in an earlier question, I provide the system mail name. This
is the domain name used to construct addresses. However, here again it
the default entry was my _local_ domain name, but since I don't want
to have my addresses show the local domain name, I changed the default
local domain name to domain name. Again, I hope I did the right thing.

On the page for the IP addresses for which exim4 should listed, there
has traditionally appeared "127.0.0.1". With squeeze, however, it
shows up as 127.0.0.1 ; ::1 without explanation. What is this added
"::1" IP address? Or is it garbage that I should cut out?

I don't know if any of this has any relation to the SMTP
authentication issue. I understand that it is best to rely on TLS
authentication, which I'll try in the future, but this issue has
already interferred too much with important work, so must leave put
off the big challenge of TLS for the next time and cross my fingers
in the meantime. 

By default, exim4 employs TLS authentication, and so disables AUTH
PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN. But it does not say what these entities
are. Variables given values somewhere? Apparently not. So what are
they? I can only guess the first has to do with plain text
authentication with the SMTP mailserver, but what is the second? My
fetchmail must logs into the mail server, but apparently not exim4. 

Now, from a reading of the documentation, it appears that for any host
that is authenticated in plain text, I need to add the authenticating
information into /etc/exim4/passwd.client. That much is clear, but
then it says, "If you need to enable AUTH PLAIN or AUTH LOGIN...". Do
I need to do so simply because I'm using plain text authentication? Do
I need to do one or the other but not both? Since these entities were
not defined, I don't know if I need to do it, and further, I'm not
told what to do and where to do it. 

Someone suggested I needed to change value of DCconfig, and you
suggested to change the value of dc_eximconfig_configtype, but neither
variable, if that's what they are, appear in the configuration files
for me to change. So I spent some time googling, and apparently the
proper variable is AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS. I had to google
yet more to find that the value for this variable should be defined as
" = true". But further googling provided only a hint that it should be
placed at the top of the
/etc/exim4/conf.d/main/03_exim4-config_tlsoptions file.

So I tried it, and it didn't work. A messge from my new installation
of squeeze on one machine (us...@historicalmaterialism.info) cannot be
sent to the provider mail server and delivered from there to another
machine which has the us...@historicalmaterialism.info address. Exim4
simply complains I can't route the outgoing message. At this point, I
can only communicate from the first machine to the second by sending
messages to it to a couple other domain names that the second machine
happens to listen to.

It would be helpful to post the output of lspci -v (at least the part

Re: authentication of multiple users for one mail server

2010-09-09 Thread brownh
Sorry to follow up on my own message, but did some more thinking about
the problem. 

I'm asking Exim4 to send a message to another user having the same
domain name. So does this mean exim searches for that user locally
rather than ship the message off to my provider's mail server?

In my previous message, I went though exim configuration, where at
certain points I changed the local domain to the domain. Was this a
mistake in one or two cases. A local domain in one or two
configuration questions  might tell exim that the message is not for a
user on its own machine or network, and so it would be routed to my
provider's mail server? 

Just a thought.

That's quite possible - hadn't considered that.  However, the UK must 
still be on the British summer holidays because this has been several

the old apt related bug.

SSH & Rsync issues

2010-09-09 Thread Hal Vaughan
In short: 

I have ssh set up on two systems so I can ssh from one to the other.  My 
id_rsa.pub in ~/.ssh on my system is copied into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the 
remote system.  I can ssh from local to remote with no issue and it's 
configured so authentication does not use passwords, but uses the RSA ID.  This 
works perfectly.  "ssh remote" gets me logged in immediately.

I can rsync to the other machine.  Using "rsync localfile 
tnet-web::threshNet-Public" works fine and the file is transferred.  BUT when I 
try to use rsync over ssh, it will NOT work.


A bit more of an explanation:

The problem is that when I try 

rsync localfile - --rsh=ssh ...
or
rsync localfile - -e"ssh -l myname" ...

(Yes, same stuff as before with the ...)

Then I get errors:

using the -e option gives me this:

rsync: -rsh=ssh: unknown option
_exit_cleanup(code=1, file=/SourceCache/rsync/rsync-40/rsync/main.c, 
line=1333): entered

_exit_cleanup(code=1, file=/SourceCache/rsync/rsync-40/rsync/main.c, 
line=1333): about to call exit(1)


using --rsh gives me this:

cmd[0]=ssh cmd[1]=tnet-web cmd[2]=rsync cmd[3]=--server cmd[4]=--daemon 
cmd[5]=.

I have config files for rsyncd.conf and sshd_conf included below my signature.

Both programs work separately, but if I try rsync over ssh, it simply does not 
work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

How do you know you're missing fonts?  I think /usr/share
fonts/X11/misc, should include most othe ones non 100* and 75*, while
most of the true type ones should be included under the defoma path.

Could you run "xlsfonts" under X, and see if you're missing any?

Other than that it depends, on debian I have no problems with fonts at
all, but on RH virtual machines at work, where I don't have root
access, and want terminus for example, I have in my .xinitrc:

fc-cache -fv
xset fp+ "/h/vasqueja/share/fonts/terminus"
xset fp+ "/h/vasqueja/share/fonts/artwiz"
xset fp rehash
fc-cache

For some applications "xset fp+ " is enough, and for others
running fc-cache commands are enough.  To make them work for all
applications I need both, :-)

1.-  Java doesn't work properly under firewall.  Though the browser
seems to work OK.  Java works well outside a firewall, and if the sun
version is used, then it gets nicely recognized by java.com test.
Under firewall that fails.

2.-  Under gmail the keyboard is not recognized by the TO, CC, and BCC
fields.  Rest of it works OK.

3.-  The bank I use has a java applet for something they call "virtual
keyboard", and the applet just doesn't work since the virtual keyboard
never shows up.

Other than these 3 issues, I really think Midori is in pretty good
shape for those not using bunch of addons and plugins.  Flash from
adobe works just fine as well...  It doesn't store cookies apparently,
which slow down some things, but is way lighter than
iceweasel/firefox...

I didn't see anything unusual in dmesg so far, though  I didn't grep for eth. 
I'll try that when I'm back at that machine in a few hours.

Yes, lspci -v lists the card. "Ethernet controller", manufacturer, model type.

IIRC there was no 70* in /etc/udev/rules.d. Neither was there a 25* (which 
popped up in google as solution for people with the same error message as 
me). I'll have to check the 70* again though because I'm not totally sure.

I was afraid someone would ask. Since there's no internet on the PC, I'll have 
to type it all. Here goes (lspci -v):

00.19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connect
ion (rev 02)

Capabilities: [e0] PCIe advanced features 

As for lsmod, I don't have a screenshot to type here, but anyway it was a 
pretty long list, and I didn't see anything related to eth0. I noticed that 
e1000 (which I believe is the driver for this thing) is not loaded 
automatically, but whether that is loaded manually (modprobe e1000) or not, or 
e1000e instead, makes no difference to my problem.
If it is really important, I'll go back in a few hours and type the output of 
lsmod also.

Do you mean the first example in my first paragraph, where there's no reference 
to ssh or the one when I list examples, where I use "--rsh =ssh"?

How can I verify rsync is using ssh?

I found a few comments in man pages that left me confused, but I read man pages 
on Linux, on OS X, and on the web and there were a few references in some to, 
"in future versions," so it's hard to be sure, unless it's explicitly stated.

Well, in my case, I verified it by the fact that on the server that I

I just downloaded debian-testing i386 Net Inst and burned the
.iso onto disk.  Before I do something silly, I want to make sure
that this is designed to live with other os's on the hd. (I remember
one older version of Ubuntu that took over the drive, and wiped 
everything else out.) If everything is copacetic, I'll put it

on my laptop along with Win XP and PcLinuxOs.  Please advise.

I'm just wondering, since firefox/iceweasel seems to be getting unusable. I
have a 2.2GHz C2D box with an nvidia card at home, and a 3.0GHz C2D with a
(lame) ATI card at work. I find that firefox (or xulrunner-stub) have 
memory

leaks, and after a couple of days, it eats up a significant amount (10-30%)
of memory. The work box has 3GB and the home box has 4GB. It also eats up a
significant amount of CPU.

This morning, after idling all weekend, iceweasel on my work system was
chewing up between 70 and 100% of my cpus, and scrolling pages were
hesitating for several seconds.

So what do others use?
--b



Depending on what I want to do, I use Iceape or Iceweasel or konqueror or 
Opera. I also, sometimes, use epiphany. I had used a gnome browser, before 
Debian 5, but it appears to have disappeared with Debian 5, and I do not 
remember what it was named. I used to use Star Office 5.2, until Sun took it 
over and decided to destroy the functionality of Star Office.


However, opera appears to have gone wonky, with the interface having become 
not user-friendly, and it appears to be unsupported, as no means for feedback 
about the deteriorations, appears to exist. But, the earlier version that I 
use, appears to be more secure and stable than the other browsers that I use.


Iceape can be convenient, especially beinfg a suite, so it is easy to click 
on a mailto link, and open up the integrated email composer. But, iceape 
appears to be devoid of memory management, and it appears to have a viral use 
for memory, progressively increasing memory usage if the browser is left 
open, and it does not free up the memory that it has been using, when it is 
closed in an orderly manner (that is, on the odd occasion that it is 
deliberately closed, rather than the all too frequent crashes). Also, iceape 
does not have the facility for saving sessions, either deliberately, or, when 
the application crashes.


Iceweasel saves sessions when it crashes, but it does not have the option of 
saving the last session and opening a new, separate session, so, when the 
application crashes, to run the application again, either it has to reload 
the crashed session, or, a new session, losing the crashed session.


From what I understand, neither iceape nor iceweasel, nor their body of 
development (I understand that they are not developed by Mozilla), have a 
means for users to provide feedback, to get the software working in a way 
that benefits users.


If iceape and iceweasel both were able to save sessions, and, to provide a 
means of splitting sessions into bookmark folders/sets, for each browser 
window open in a session, so that a user can, on opening a new session of the 
browser after a crash, and select options of a new, separate session, or 
restoring the complete old session (or, similarly, for a previous saved 
session that was not saved due to a crash), or, open in a browser window (the 
existing browser window or a new browser window), a single browser window 
(from a bookmakr set from a previous saveds session), it would be good.


And, if someone could fix the memory issues, it would be good.

When 2GB of RAM is insufficient to run Linux AND a web browser on top od 
Linux, suxh as iceape, then there is something dreadfully wrong with the 
memory management of the operating system and/or the web browser software.


konqueror I use mainly for accessing my gmail accounts, but it allows access 
to only a single gmail account at a time.


The problem with the Linux web browsers, is that, over time, the developers 
became so concerned with whistles and bells, and what the developers wanted 
to do with the applications, that the users were left behind, and the 
software became bloated, unstable, almost (if not) malicious, and, less and 
less user friendly, to the extent that it is a bad idea to update the 
software, as it is less and less usable.


It is a bit like doing system upgrades to the latest version of a 
distribution - it is generally only a good idea, if a user likes playing 
roulette with the user's data and system - "let's gamble everything we have - 
let's do a system upgrade to the latest version, and find whether anything 
works, and whether we have any data left, afterward".





Oh, I forgot, and was reminded today, when I tried to run Epiphany 
today, that it broke itself a while ago, and rendered itself unusable.


Somehow, it deleted the URL text box, so the web browser is unusable, as 
no URL can be entered, and, no means of restoring the URL text box, is 
apparent.


It is

Sure Moz has session saving.  And it's memory management has always been
as good or better than FF. If Iceape doesn't then they are really messing
something up.

It's kind of hard to understand what you want to do, but it seems like Mozilla
(and FF?) do pretty much all of that.

With 4GB I am never really memory constrained, and everything works
fine with 100+
tabs open continuously for days. It's hard to remember, but I don't
think I really had
too many problems when it was 1GB and something like 10-30 tabs...

"Plain Vanilla" flavour of Firefox. Simply downloaded from Mozilla.com
once extracted in /usr/local/share (and linked to
/usr/local/bin/firefox) all it takes for an upgrade is getting the
actual package from Mozilla, cd to /usr/local/share and unpack it.
Pretty straightfoward. I tried this when I had some trouble with
Iceweasel from testing and stuck with Firefox. Never had any issues, since,

On the other hand it's close enough that the same advice applies:

1. Pay attention to partitioning - if you let the installer run on 
automatic, it will wipe your disk; on the other hand, depending on how 
your current partitioning scheme is set up, you may be able to preserve 
your current OS and user data, and create new partitions for the new 
installation -- it's very dependent on how things are set up now.  Read 
up on disk partitioning and the advanced installer options.


2. The other thing you have to pay attention to is your boot 
configuration.  Read up on how Grub works.


3. If you're just doing this to play with testing, consider installing 
Xen, KVM, or virtualbox on your current system, then running Debian as a 
virtual machine.

Re: iomega 2TB external USB drive

2010-09-09 Thread John Lindsay
Just to update things--- Fired up second computer which is my test 
machine.  Installed Ubuntu 10.04 and IOMEGA drive seen as a laptop icon 
immediately after turning it on. Was able to load/unload/move files with 
no problems. I then deleted partition, re formatted using fat. Unmounted 
drive and installed Fedora--- same results -- icon appears on desktop as 
soon as its powered up. Move/load/unload with no problems.


Then moved to Debian Lenny --- had to mount the drive but  icon did not 
appear on the desktop. Unmounted drive and ran the Ubuntu live disk and 
Iomega drive is seen on desktop shortly after powering up so I know it 
is not a faulty USB port and file transfer worked great.


Still trying to find out what is available to enable the drive in Debian.

where did my ata drives go?

2010-09-09 Thread Rick Pasotto
Last weekend I did a bunch of updates (to testing) and rebooted after
almost six months.

Somewhere in that process the ata drive got UUIDs assigned to the
partitions and /etc/fstab was modified.

Now they won't mount.

I used to mount /dev/hdb1 and /dev/hdb5 but those don't exist anymore.
Using tune2fs I can access them as /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdc5. The UUIDs
match what got written to /etc/fstab. I was able to assign labels to
them using tune2fs but they still refuse to mount.

How can I access those partitions?

By "design". 

+Could you run "xlsfonts" under X, and see if you're missing any?  

xlsfonts won't show the xfonts-* fonts until you fix something...

+fc-cache -fv  

Should be enough...

HOWEVER... the problem is going to be a file called «no-bitmaps». it tells
fc-cache to /ignore/ binary fonts...

If you look at «/etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf» you'll see the following:

-%<- 70-no-bitmaps.conf -%<-




 
  
   
 false
   
  
 

-%<- 70-no-bitmaps.conf -%<-

Its just a link to ../conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf so you can safely delete
it. You can also /force/ bitmap fonts (xfonts) to show up by linking
70-force-bitmaps.conf into /etc/fonts/conf.d/ however you *dont* need to
because it won't ignore them anymore. 

Make sure you remember to run fc-cache -fv as *root* in order to flush the
*system* cache. You /will/ have to restart your X environment in order for them
to show up.

That depends on your definition of user error.

It's quite easy to wipe out an existing installation, all it takes is 
giving the installer the default answers.  I do it all the time on a 
sandbox machine that I use to evaluate different configurations.


Now if you consider it user error to give the default answers, when you 
actually want to save the current install, then your anwer is accurate.

When I try to run command

then I get:
xset:  bad font path element (#23), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax

so I must to run:
sudo mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/opentype/freefont

first and then to run again
xset fp+ "/usr/share/fonts/opentype/freefont"

Why? Is the installation of this font not enough?

new squeeze-again

2010-09-09 Thread Doug

Trying to install.  I come to the partitioner.  It says there is 261 GB
available.  (This is empty, unpartitioned and unformatted space, left 
over after cloning drive from a smaller one.)  On-screen instructions say


[!!] Partition disks

The maximum size for this partition is 261.6 GB

Hint: "max" can be used as a shortcut to specify the maximum size, or
enter a percentage (e.g. "20%") to use that percentage of the
maximum size.

I try to enter 30 GB  and get "invalid size "
so I go back, then I try to enter 15% and get the same answer.

What now?  (Max is not an option.)

This isn't Ubuntu. :)



Well, while it isn't Ubuntu, it's *testing* nonetheless: so you'll want  
to make damn sure you understand exactly 'how' partitioning is managed  
in debian-installer and 'what' your answers to the partitioner's  
questions actually imply.
