(we are now in a loop ;-P) Editing xorg.conf requires an X-server restart after each setup change, which is ridiculous. In the end, I do not care which means a tool uses to set up the screens, whether it's xrandr or that nvidia-specific way. I just want it to work, without the need to restart anything.

Neverball is now working fine, however from the three Windows games I tried, only one started, the others showed no useful content on screen. So, I have to stick with the closed-source driver for now :( The driver is not the issue though, xrandr works the way it is supposed to, as far as I can tell. I just want to take some action when a monitor is connected, which xrandr does detect, it just does not tell me.

Pixel garbage when opening context menus
Hi list, since upgrading from Kubuntu (10.10) to Debian testing, I am noticing that a context-menu, directly after right-clicking, contains pixel garbage that is then overdrawn with the actual content. I often recognize the garbage as content from some window. This also applies to other menus, like the K-Menu, and sometimes (especially when the system is under load) even for whole windows. When clicking the logout/shutdown button, the background around the dialogue where I have to confirm my choice also shows garbage. I do not remember anything like that from back when I used Kubuntu. I am using Debian testing and KDE. The issue is present both on my laptop (AMD Radeon HD 3200, I tried both the open-source and the closed-source driver) and my desktop (NVidia GeForce 8500, closed-source driver). It does not matter whether compositing is enabled or disabled (except for the logout/shutdown dialogue problem, which appears only with composite disabled). Now I wonder, which package do I have to report the bug against? It can hardly be the driver, but it could be everything else in the graphics stack, as far as I can tell. I also wonder whether anyone else is having the same problem. Kind regards, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

China Transfer Pricing & Supply Chain Planning (14 October 2011)
China 2011: Transfer Pricing & Supply Chain Planning Friday, 14th October 2011, 8:45am-12:30pm Prince Hotel & Residences Kuala Lumpur In the past, China's tax authority provided favourable business environment to attract foreign investments. Today, the tax authorities are stepping up their efforts to enhance tax collection and transfer pricing compliance, due to many foreign enterprises reporting low profitability upon the expiration of their tax holidays. In order to avoid risk of penalty, it is important for foreign businesses to make sure that their specific transfer pricing planning and strategies fall within the boundaries of State Administration of Taxation's rules and regulations. Leading expert, Cheng Chi, Partner, Global Transfer Pricing Services will keep you abreast of the recent developments of China transfer pricing regime and will provide practical insights on how to approach critical tax issues. PROGRAMME OUTLINE China TP Regulations: What's new in the third year of enforcement? - Update on China transfer pricing: regulations and experts' observations - Transfer pricing audit environment in China: statistics and trend - APA experience sharing Case Study: Illustration of supply chain planning to: - Manage and mitigate transfer pricing and corporate tax risks - Optimize effective tax rate - Develop tax-efficient operating structure, with appropriate allocation of functions, assets and risks - Centralization of administrative functionscash pooling - use of CHC/RHQ - Minimise tax burden on corporate restructuring - Manage customs risks on payments to overseas Remittance of funds from China - Management fee regime in China concerning overseas companies - China tax implications for remitting fees - Common strategies to reduce China tax on cross-border payments HIGHLIGHTS - Receive up-to-date Chinese Transfer Pricing developments - Learn how to analyse these changes to mitigate tax risks - Identify tax-efficient structures for your business operations in China - Understand the strategies on cross-border payments to enhance tax savings and benefits We also have a seminar on Vietnam Transfer Pricing & Supply Chain Management on Friday, 14th October 2011, 1:15pm-5:00pm, Prince Hotel & Residences Kuala Lumpur.

One thing you could do is to run acpi -b when the weird occurrences happen, and see if that is in tune with what the battery monitor shows. When on ac, acpi -b should return blank, but when on battery, it should display some information on the battery life remaining etc. This way, you can tell if the problem is in the KDE applet or in ACPI.

When on ac, acpi -b should return blank, but when on battery, > it should display some information on the battery life remaining > etc. This way, you can tell if the problem is in the KDE applet or in > ACPI. What exactly do you mean by "on battery"? When I am on AC, but the battery is plugged in, "acpi -b" prints Battery 0: Unknown, 98% After plugging AC off, it says Battery 0: Discharging, 98%, 02:12:32 r emaining And when there is no battery it's empty. As far as I can tell, it also does that when KDE displays the "no battery" icon, which is however hard to catch since it only lasts for a fraction of a second. However, you gave me the idea to look for a CLI for upower, and there actually is one. "upower --monitor" prints this when plugging in AC: [14:47:44.867] device changed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/line_power_AC [14:47:45.203] device removed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:45.832] device added: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:45.832] device changed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:46.137] device removed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:46.420] device added: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:46.425] device changed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:46.547] device changed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:47.082] device removed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:47.374] device added: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:47.378] device changed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:47.548] device changed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:48.032] device removed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:48.255] device added: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [...] So the problem is definitely within upower or even further down the stack, but not in KDE.

Installing debian package independent from system
A user would like the latest and greatest zsh and we have a deb package for it. For security purposes I want to keep the slightly older version of zsh obtained and maintained from debian packages as the system default zsh. I'm willing to install the later version of zsh in an alternate directory, say under their home or in /usr/local for the one user. I thought perhaps dpkg --root /usr/local/zsh with a copy of /var/lib/dpkg placed under /usr/local/zsh would do the trick, but it isn't happy as some part of this still believes we are working on the main system dpkg path: dpkg --root /usr/local/zsh -i ~username/zsh_4.3.12-1_i386.deb (Reading database ... 73404 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace zsh 4.3.10-14 (using .../username/zsh_4.3.12-1_i386.deb) ... dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute old pre-removal script (/var/lib/dpkg/info/zsh.prerm): No such file or directory dpkg: warning: subprocess old pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ... dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute new pre-removal script (/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/prerm): No such file or directory dpkg: error processing /home/username/zsh_4.3.12-1_i386.deb (--install): subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed post-installation script (/var/lib/dpkg/info/zsh.postinst): No such file or directory dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: /home/username/zsh_4.3.12-1_i386.deb Building from source would work too, but typically has care and feeding steps just to get all the deps in line. What is the best way to use a deb package and not have it as part of the system's knowledge of installed packages?

What if, for example, the latest version of zsh depends on a version of a system library that's incompatible with your current libraries (i.e. an ABI change)? I would suspect your best bet is to set up a chroot with the new zsh and its associated dependecies and set up an alias for the user such as "alias new_zsh='chroot /path/to/chroot /bin/zsh'". -- Darac Marjal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I just want to have the system default zsh updated in the usual manner and rest assured that the system default is patched often enough. The alternate zsh can be updated, perhaps by the user, whenever they want a later and greater version of zsh. (Assuming I can get this working from dpkg, otherwise we'll be building from tarball - but I was hoping Debian wouldn't force me into that).

There should be none. Note, however, that /dev/mapper/ may contain non-LVM specials as well, such as cryptsetup(8) ones. My guess is that /dev/VG/LV may provide some sort of backwards compatibility, as LVM may have been implemented before Linux's “device mapper.” (IIRC, there was an LVM implementation for HP-UX, bearing some similarity to the one currently in Linux.) -- FSF associate member #7257 Coming soon: Software Freedom Day http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/ planning-ru (ru), sfd-discuss (en) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

atfptd in squeeze won't do anything
I have been beating my head against the wall on this for a day and a half. I just installed atftpd (0.7.dfsg-9.1) on Squeeze. When I first installed it, it wouldn't take connections through the default inetd stuff. So I tried editing /etc/default/atftpd and setting USE_INETD=false and running it as a daemon. Still nothing. So I tried manually running /usr/sbin/atftpd, and no matter what options I give it (including none) it just prints the usage and exits, unless I specify --daemon and/or --no-fork in which case it just exits with an exit code 0 and there is no process running or anything listening on that port. Please, any ideas, reports or similar (or even different) behavior, or any thing else would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me crazy. And I can't seem to find any recent howtos on the subject, they all seem to be several years old, or they say basically "apt-get it, and it should work". Also, I tried getting tftpd-hpa working too with similar problems, but I haven't done as extensive of troubleshooting on that. -- Isaac Freeman - Systems Administrator IBM Information Protection Services is...@us.ibm.com 919-254-0245

The solution for me was to download the tarball, configure, make and make install, which placed an alternate version of zsh under /usr/local as desired. Not many dependencies so it wasn't as painful as some packages to install this way.
Followup With ssh problem
Hey There, I would first of all like to thank everyone who responded altruistically to my originally posts. I would say that I now have half a problem compared to the whole specimen that I had before. I do indeed have an "ssh" server installed on my linux box, and it seems to be working just fine. I am able to ssh over to my "shellworld" account without any problem. However, I am not able to ssh over from shellworld to my linux box. When ever I attempt to do so, I receive the following error message after several minutes of complete inactivity. QUOTE ON:** [~] $ ssh riverwind.dontexist.org ssh: connect to host riverwind.dontexist.org port 22: Operation timed out [~] $ For what ever reason, the system just seems to hang up and then time out.

Also, Master and Slave don't mean what you apparently think they do. These settings have nothing to do with software, should not affect boot order, or how Linux runs. In the world or IDE/PATA, you can have a single slave device on a cable in absence of a "Master" device. Think of "Master" and "Slave" as "0" and "1" instead. They are simply designations, but given horribly bad names decades ago by engineers with brain damage. Regardless, you should be able to configure the boot order in the BIOS to do whatever you want, unless of course this is a really old PC. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If you need to stick to an older version of a given package for "security purposes", then why allow one user access to an allegedly insecure version? On the other hand, if it is considered safe for that user to have access to the latest version, then why not just make it standard for everyone? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: howto boot from the second disk in raid 1
abdelkader belahcene wrote: > but it fails to reboot from the second disk alone. > although i installed grub in both disks Are you very certain that you installed grub on both disks? Because failure to do this is a very common reason that systems won't boot from the second disk. Previous versions of Debian such as Lenny did not automatically install onto both disks. I believe that is now improved on Squeeze and later and grub is automatically installed on both disks IIRC. For the previous grub these instructions will install it on the second disk. Assuming /dev/sdb is your second disk, adjust if needed. # grub grub> device (hd0) /dev/sdb grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit For the new Grub2, I don't know. I haven't been able to learn it yet. Perhaps someone else will be kind enough to step up and say what needs to be done to install grub2 on a second disk.

That valud may be different depending upon your configuration. But in the old grub you can search for it like this: grub> find /grub/stage1 (hd0,0) (hd1,0) On my system /boot is in /dev/md0 and that is actually /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 and so the files are found in (hd0,0) and (hd1,0). Therefore mapping /dev/sdb to hd0 means (hd0,0) will be /dev/sdb1. If you have /boot some place else then your information will need to be different. Again, the new grub is probably completely different. I haven't worked with it enough to know how to drive it at this level. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Dropped Connections and "Failed to create cgroup nnnn: -17" Kernel Message When vsftpd Spawning a New Process
Hello list,
I am experiencing the following issue with a Debian squeeze based server
and the most recent squeeze-backports kernel:
I realized that some vstfpd daemons randomly drop connections (sending a
FIN right after the initial TCP hand shake was completed). Furthermore,
a "Failed to create cgroup : -17" message is logged by the kernel.
Furthermore, I am observing a steadily increasing number of directories
named like pids being created in the root of the cgroup virtual
filesystem (mounted at /cgroup). For each connection attempt to a vsftpd
daemon a new directory is created. Those directories seem to be never
deleted. After a few days of uptime there are about 7,500 directories
while there constantly are only about 150 processes running (more or
less idling, this server usually has low load).
When stracing vsftpd the call that fails seems to be this one (full
output below):
clone(child_stack=0, flags=0x2800|SIGCHLD) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
Which makes me believe that those "zombie directories" in /cgroup might
conflict with the new pid . The longer the server is up the more likely
it becomes that connections are dropped.
Side note: The affected vsftpd daemons are running on a server that also
is hosting an LXC-based virtual server. I have experienced a steadily
increasing soft IRQ load on the server while a cgroup virtual filesystem
being mounted. I have upgraded to the recent squeeze-backports kernel
which seems not to suffer from this soft IRQ issue. vsftpd daemons
running inside LXC containers do not drop connections.
Anyone experiencing a similar issue or has any suggestions? When
reporting a bug for this issue would this need to be reported against
the kernel package?
Below is some information I thought might be useful. If required, I will
gladly provide any additional information.
Cheers,
Dirk

I am hoping that it is improved with grub2 but don't know. I have tried grub-install /dev/sdb with grub1 and it does not create a bootable disk for me. I would need to set up a test case again to get to the details but what seems to happen is that doing that with grub1 somehow creates a configuration where it only works if the disk is /dev/sdb.

It works for grub1: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/legacy/grub.html#Invoking-grub_002dinstall And it also works with grub2 because it doesn't have a "grub" prompt so there's no other way of populating "/boot/grub" and installing grub2 to the MBR. > I have tried grub-install /dev/sdb with grub1 and it does not create a > bootable disk for me.

I am using lenny.

I want dirtypenguin to be able to use FileZilla for regular ftp access on port 21. Not sftp access on port 21. I dont know why the first user I set up works perfectly while dirtypenguin seems to have gotten hosed. If I can solve this problem I will have solved a long lingering issue with the use of ftp for WordPress.

If it was a new disk, the --recheck parameter should have been applied to check the device map. If /boot/grub already exists on /dev/sdb then that's probably not necessary. # grub-install /dev/sdb would have given an error if grub was not already installed. That will install /boot on /dev/sdb Cheers -- "People ask me what I think about that woman priest thing. What, a woman priest? Women priests. Great, great.
