Ok, it seems like the card is present in lspci only on Lenny (kernel 2.6.26-1-686). Unfortunately I mistyped the module name, it should have been sis900. Can you please retry the modprobe on lenny and then post here 'ifconfig -a'?

We are. Even Superman has to turn pages (he never used his super sight to just read an entire book at once), so his slit is one page big, whereas ours is just a few rows big ;) Even assuming you could comprehend an entire book at once, our view-angle is limited, so we can only look at a limited part of a big text at once.

Captured Video Not Producing Sound on Some Systems
I'm having some problems with videos I have made from an external USB capture device. One Linux machine I am testing on fails to play the music from the videos. Instead, I get a bunch of high pitched static. The captures were done on a Windows machine with WinDVR (it's highly doubtful that this capture device has any *NIX drivers), which defaults to mpeg video and mp2 audio apparently, with no obvious way to save to any other format. Here is one of the videos I made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5XJYgfQk5I It plays fine on the 2 Windows boxes I tested it on, as well as on one Debian box. However, the other Debian box (and the Wii via the Internet channel) fail to play the sound. I'm sure the problem is in the file itself and not the machines that it failed on, but I have no idea where to begin troubleshooting, I tried running the files through AVIDemux in an attempt to change the sound encoding to another format, but that gave the same results; garbled sound on the systems that were having trouble before. Could someone here perhaps download the file I posted and check it out to figure out why it does not work like it should? Will it be possible to convert it to a format that works? I really don't want to try to redo the above performance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I'm not sure of the answers to the above. Maybe you could try shutting down your network manually, then start firestarter manually, and see what happens. Another idea: You could edit /etc/init.d/firestarter to make it pause long enough that you can read any errors on the boot screen. Just enter a "read" statement where you want it to pause. On second thought, it might be easier to put the "read" statement at the beginning of the script that comes *after* firestarter in the boot process. That'll be the file in /etc/rc2.d that comes after the firestarter script (in alphanumeric order). Note, you have to hit to get past the "read" statement. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

First, I don't think they should be running at all inside a KDE session, only when you login in a GNOME session. Second, try to guess what of the above services is the one monopolizing the volume manager and kill the process (maybe "gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor"?) then connect a USB flash or a CD medium to see what happens.

It's an embedded USB disk enclosure that does not allow to extract the disk without removing guarantee and all that annoyances.

My wife own a Compaq laptop with Windows 7 preinstalled. A few days ago i have installed Debian testing (the daily netinst cd) on it. I have resized the windows NTFS partition with the debian installer. Just select that option to manualy manage the partition when you are on the partitions screen. Then i created the needed linux partitions. Then installed the base install and installed all my lovely toys. All was ok, just got a little bonus issue, nothing to do with the partitioning (i think).

Had need to run update-grub to get this issue fixed. Well, i still have an issue with showing 3 windows operating systems in the bootloader, but that's another issue :) Maybe the black magic of the Compaq recovery utility for Windows. I still need to check. Anyway, i recommend you make a good backup before doing irreversible things.

Thanks to you and Rob I'm getting a bit of an education. I found /etc/rc2.d/S19firestarter. It does not contain any apparent (to me) direct reference to the /etc/init.d/firestarter file.

(I'm asking here, but it seems that's what's going on.) What has perplexed me about all of this is the lack of any kind of warning being issued in the Firestarter GUI -- and no apparent (to me) warnings to be found in dmesg or syslog. I had brought the systems to the other network and tried to connect by SSH from notebook to desktop. I couldn't do it because I had forgot to tell Wicd about the change in networks. (I use fixed IP addresses both at home and at the alternative network.) I told Wicd to change the network settings to the profile I use on the alternate network. Then I corrected from notebook to desktop right away. But I realized that this should not have been possible because I had not changed the firewall rules in the desktop firewall's incoming policy. I cranked up firestarter on the desktop and lost my connection. After a little bit of head scratching, here I am. Now that I'm home I suddenly hit upon a cunning plan. I played around with two other Debian testing systems (my wife's), and I learned that irestarter is working perfectly on her systems. There's no sign of the problem on them, and firestarter works on them exactly the way I remember it working on my systems. As far as I know, all four systems (her two, and the two of mine that are malfunctioning) have been configured almost identically. So I went to her systems and hit ++ to get tty1, and I can definitely see a difference on that screen. On her two systems with firestarter running properly there are no hints of trouble. On both of mine I see the following: Starting MTA: exim4. Starting the Firestarter firewall... failed! Starting kerneloops: ...and, a little later... Starting Network connection manager: wicd. startpar: service(s) returned failure: firestarter ... failed! Running scripts in rc2.d/ took xx seconds. On both of her systems I see the same thing -- except, of course, for the two "failed!" warnings. So, at least I know how I can tell whether or not my firewall has started. Just look at tty1. (Where would those failures be logged?) I did try issuing the command on both of my computers after booting, and that succeeded with no warnings. # /etc/init.d/firestarter start Firewall started When I check with "iptables -L" I can see that the rules are now in place. So I guess from all of this evidence that firestarter is being called properly, but that some condition for its startup is not being met and is causing the failure. And then I rebooted (showing the same failures in tty1) and tried starting the firewall this way. # /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh start Firewall started and that worked, too. So whatever wasn't allowing the script to work before gdm pops up is no longer defeating it after I've logged on to the systems. I'm sorry to be writing a book. This is interesting. I guess it's going to take some more digging to find out why the firewalls on these two systems are failing. Could it be simply that they both have two network configurations and my wife's systems only have one? That's the only significant configuration difference that I can think of.

I'm not sure of the answers to the above. Maybe you could try shutting down your network manually, then start firestarter manually, and see what happens. Good call. I booted the systems and disconnected their network connectors. I tried two commands with results as follows: # /etc/init.d/firestarter start Starting the Firestarter firewall... failed! # /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh start External network device eth0 is not ready. Aborting.. Greg Madden had suggested looking at the /etc.rc2.d/S19firestarter link, and that's what led me to trying those two different commands. I had finally pulled my head out and realized that I might see something if I switched to tty1. As I told Greg, this is what I found: Starting MTA: exim4. Starting the Firestarter firewall... failed! Starting kerneloops: ...and, a little later... Starting Network connection manager: wicd. startpar: service(s) returned failure: firestarter ... failed! Running scripts in rc2.d/ took xx seconds. After a reboot and logging in each time, if I have a working network connection, either of the aforementioned commands succeeds. I'm guessing that maybe the firewall isn't starting because the network connection hasn't yet been established. My wife's systems both have only one network configuration. My systems have two network configurations. Even though I usually remember to set wicd to use the next network I'm going to be using before I shut down, do you suppose it's possible that the multiple network connections configuration causes some change in behavior that slows the establishment of a connection, and that could be the reason the firewall isn't coming up when the systems are started? Another idea: You could edit /etc/init.d/firestarter to make it pause long enough that you can read any errors on the boot screen. Just enter a "read" statement where you want it to pause. On second thought, it might be easier to put the "read" statement at the beginning of the script that comes *after* firestarter in the boot process. That'll be the file in /etc/rc2.d that comes after the firestarter script (in alphanumeric order). Note, you have to hit to get past the "read" statement. -Rob I tried editing /etc/rc2.d/S19kerneloops, which seems to be the next script to be executed after /etc.rc2.d/S19firestarter, but I couldn't see anything.

Starting kerneloops: Sorry if I'm being dumb. I don't know what a read statement is, but I figured it would be sort of like adding pause in a DOS batch file?

And yes, a "read" statement in bash is like a "pause" statement in DOS batch. If your firewall script references an IP address (which you don't have when the network is down), I think it needs the network to be up in order to run.

The usual application is to > compute the degree to which adding another processor increases the > processing power of the system > Larry You are is absolutely incorrect. Amdahl's law is specific to algorithm scalability. It has little to do specifically with classic multiprocessing. Case in point: If one has a fairly heavy floating point application but it requires a specific scalar operation be performed in the loop along with every FP OP, say a counter increase of an integer register or similar, one could take this application from his/er 2 GHz single core x86 processor platform and run it on one processor of an NEC SX8 vector supercomputer system, which has a wide 8 pipe vector unit--16 Gflop/s peak vs 4 Gflop/s peak for the x86 chip. Zero scalability would be achieved, even though the floating point hardware is over 4 times more powerful. Note no additional processors were added. We simply moved the algorithm to a machine with a massively parallel vector FP unit. In this case it's even more interesting because the scalar unit in the SX8 runs at 1 GHz, even though the 8 pipe vector unit runs at 2 GHz. So, this floating point algorithm would actually run _slower_ on the SX8 due to the scalar component of the app limiting execution time due to the 1 GHz scalar unit. (This is typical of vector supercomputer processors--Cray did the same thing for years, running the vector units faster than the scalar units, because the vast bulk of the code run on these systems was truly, massively, floating point specific, with little scalar code.) This is the type of thing Gene Amdahl had in mind when postulating his theory, not necessarily multiprocessing specifically, but all forms or processing in which a portion of the algorithm could be broken up to run in parallel, regardless of what the parallel hardware might be. One of the few applications that can truly be nearly infinitely parallelized is graphics rendering. Note I said rendering, not geometry. When attempting to parallelize the geometry calculations in the 3D pipeline we run squarely into Amdahl's brick wall. This is why nVidia/AMD have severe problems getting multi GPU (SLI/Xfire) performance to scale anywhere close to linearly. It's impossible to take the 3D scene and split the geometry calculations evenly between GPUs, because vertices overlap across the portions of the frame buffer for which each GPU is responsible. Thus, for every overlapping vertice, it must be sent to both GPUs adjacent to the boundary. For this reason, adding multiple GPUs to a system yields a vastly diminishing return on investment. Each additional GPU creates one more frame buffer boundary. When you go from two screen regions to 3, you double the amount of geometry processing the "middle" GPU has to perform, because he now has two neighbor GPUs. The only scenario where 3 or 4 GPUs makes any kind of sense for ROI is with multiple monitors, at insanely high screen resolutions and color depths, with maximum AA/AF and multisampling. These operations are almost entirely raster ops, and as mentioned before, raster pixel operations can be nearly linearly scaled on parallel hardware. Again, Amdahl's law applies to algorithm scalability, not classic CPU multiprocessing. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Not to mention the fact that for desktop use 2 higher clocked cores will yield faster application performance (think of the single threaded Flash hog and Slashdot jscript) than 4 lower freq cores. They also suck _far_ less power than a quad core (45-65w vs 95-115w avg AMD), and cost significantly less. Fewer cores equals _more_ performance for less money (purchase price and electrical $$)? What? Yep. :) I built a new desktop for the folks last year based on a 2.8 GHz Athlon II X2 (Regor). The CPU was something like $80 from Newegg. At the time the least expensive AMD quad core was between $150-200 IIRC and ran significantly hotter, 65w vs. 115w. It's running WinXP, FF, TB, etc, and they love it.

Should I try manually editing the wicd startup script? I'm concerned that my efforts in that area may have undesired consequences if they aren't performed properly. I'm not worried about screwing it up so that it won't run. That would be easy enough to fix by restoring the script to its initial state. What I'm worried about is the possibility of messing up the way the script works in respect to its behaviors for some or all of the various conditions that I see the firestarter scripts specifying. I wouldn't want to compromise the security of the configuration unawares. On a related note, if I can get firestarter called successfully from the script that starts wicd, would it be a good idea to remove the init.d call to the firestarter script?

These are just our personal systems, and everything we have used has "just worked".

I never used GDM, but I wonder how a *dm could be counterintuitive... I always felt that most settings of a GUI desktop should be collected under a "control panel". GNOME does this fairly well with the "System" menu, but it still categorizes things in ways different from what I would choose. Example: 'System | Preferences | File Management', to decide that I don't want to hear sound when hovering over an icon, or 'System | Preferences | File Management' and not 'System | Preferences | Preferred Applications' to choose default application for opening files. Indeed, 'System | Preferences | Preferred Applications' seems redundant to me now that I come to think about it, especially since choosing a setting with it seems to have no effect whatsoever on my system, anyway. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Your test clip worked fine on the system that was having problems before. I noticed the video quality was extremely low though. But I am guessing that you did it that way just for expediency. As for YouTube converting the video after uploading, I am sure that does happen. However, I have this problem with my original captures before they get sent to the Tube as well.

how to make the console not blank out and change resolution?
Allow me to ask a stupid question. Somewhere near this point in the dmesg messages, the console blanks and becomes a different resolution. [ 8.135936] Marking TSC unstable due to TSC halts in idle [ 8.137762] processor LNXCPU:00: registered as cooling_device0 [ 8.144690] Switching to clocksource acpi_pm [ 8.223513] input: PC Speaker as /devices/platform/pcspkr/input/input5 [ 8.754683] i801_smbus :00:1f.3: PCI INT B -> Link[LNKB] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 [ 8.768920] pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5 [ 8.853142] shpchp: Standard Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.4 [ 8.872591] intel_rng: FWH not detected [ 9.160625] IBM TrackPoint firmware: 0x0e, buttons: 3/3 All I know is it happens around the time /etc/rcS.d/S02udev is run. How do I temporarily not make this console blanking not occur? You see, when that happens, whatever that was on the screen goes away. Nor was most of what was on the screen at that point stored in dmesg or in any /var/log/* file, not can it be ShiftPgUp'ed to anymore. So I would like to stop the blanking just one time to get a look at what was on the screen at that point. Reading http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s03.html.en , I tried adding fb=false to the boot parameters. However I see in dmesg the frame buffer still there. Well they ought to correct that. Let's see what else I can try. I added "blacklist drm" in /etc/modprobe.d/* but that is ignored too. Apparently that is for later items, not stuff so early in the boot process. I tried to make the /etc/init.d scripts not run in parallel, so that debugging messages I put in them would reveal just which one is the blanking the screen culprit. But of course how to not make them run in parallel is a big mystery, despite the insserv man page. dpkg-reconfigure what package? initscripts:no, insserv:no. On my desktop, blanking does not occur, only on my laptops. Let's see, maybe if I turned off one of these: 7 matches for "drm" in buffer: kernel-parameters.txt.gz 46:DRM Direct Rendering Management support is enabled. 793:gamma= [HW,DRM] 886:i810= [HW,DRM] 1413:mga=[HW,DRM] 2094:r128= [HW,DRM] 2514:tdfx= [HW,DRM] 2786:Add more DRM drivers. However as there is nary a word about how to use these parameters there in that document, one dares not experiment. Maybe on the boot line I just do gamma=false i810=false mga=false r128=false tdfx=false ? But judging from what happened when I did fb=false, I think that wouldn't work either. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Burning CD stuck on sending CUE sheet
Hi list, I'm using Debian Squeeze (currently up-to-date) and tried to burn an audio cd using k3b. The burning process freezes at 0% with the message 'Sending CUE sheet', I can tell k3b to abort the process, but that just causes k3b to lock up completely. I attached part of my kern.log file, which shows 4 call traces from the cd burning. Can anyone help me fix this? I remember the same drive working on windows, so I doubt it's faulty hardware, brasero fails as well. My motherboard is an MSI P45 Diamond, and the drive is connected with an ata/ide cable. All works fine on my laptop. The following line describes the cd drive (taken from kern.log) scsi 2:0:1:0: CD-ROMAOPENDUW1616/ARR 1030 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 Kind regards, Steven Oct 23 19:14:01 pc-steven kernel: [ 17.805005] eth0: no IPv6 routers present Oct 23 19:14:51 pc-steven kernel: [ 67.466980] sr1: Hmm, seems the drive doesn't support multisession CD's Oct 23 19:14:51 pc-steven kernel: [ 67.738578] cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

If so, how? --doug As far as I know, that's the default in Gnome: the bottom panel displays a "button" for every application you have open. If you don't have that, it should be easy to right-click on the bottom panel and add the appropriate applet. If you want all windows from all workspaces to be displayed, you just right-click on the panel applet and edit its properties accordingly. -- Cheerio, Klistvud http://bufferoverflow.tiddlyspot.com Certifiable Loonix User #481801 Please reply to the list, not to me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

However, that would still leave the underlying problem in place. These videos should be playable on any system that can play YouTube videos. It seems to me that the ideal method would be to troubleshoot the video files without installing any new libraries on the computer being used to do the trouble shooting.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head that *most* systems will play by default is MPEG1. There are probably others, but many many formats require something additional to be installed. Windows users often get these installed by blindly clicking "yes, I agree, next, next, finish". Videos require codecs, and different operating systems install different codecs by default. When circulating videos, I usually tend to put them in Ogg Theora and tell everybody to install VLC or watch it in the latest Firefox (Chrome works too, I think). -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Captured Video Not Producing Sound on Some Systems
Firstly, I want to take a moment to thank both of you people who offered advice for your attempts to help. Embarrassingly, it appears that we were all following the wrong trail in our troubleshooting after all. Just out of curiosity, I brought up in Audacity the mp3 file from one of the videos and saw that the left channel was blank, while all the music was in the right channel (which I guess could be considered the secondary channel in a stereo track.) Apparently, some sound hardware can't "hear" a file like this. The channel with sound has to be the left channel in a situation of this sort. Investigating further, I determined that it was a hardware issue involving the capture device. The left and right audio from the Wii were connected to an adapter that plugged them into a single input on the capture device. The adapter was this one: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Scarletdown/Misc-Stuff/Audio-Splitter.jpg Of particular note is the single black band on the tip. I remembered back when I was setting up the headset for my gaming center that a similar single band adapter from line out was only giving mono sound, but a double banded tip would give me stereo. So, hoping that such would be the same for line in, I dug up a suitable 2 banded adapter: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Scarletdown/Misc-Stuff/Stereo-Input.jpg And lo and behold, it works. The one Deb box that was having problems successfully played a freshly recorded video just fine. Now hopefully, I can manage to edit the other videos I already made so the sound is properly in both channels so I don't have to try to completely redo them. So again, thanks for the help, even though we were all off base on the problem. At least I learned a little more than I knew starting out. And as penance for feeling like I just wasted everyone's time, here is my show stopping number freshly recorded for everyone's amusement (and no, it is not a Rickroll). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGu1VfvrG68 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
