sun-Java6-plugin w/o Iceweasel?
I have sun-Java6-plugin installed, as well as mozilla-mplayer. Both seem to depend on Iceweasel, or Firefox. I have Firefox installed from the mozilla website and do not want Iceweasel. Iceweasel, however, was installed since aptitude knew nothing about the manual installation of Firefox. When I run java programs that want to display html they try to run Iceweasel, which causes an error, since Firefox is always running on my box. If I close Firefox and let it open Iceweasel then reopen Firefox later, all of my bookmarks are lost and I have to restore them. Generally speaking, this is not working for me. Is there a way to remove Iceweasel without removing sun-java6-plugin and mozilla-mplayer? I suppose that I could remove Iceweasel, java and the mozilla-mplayer, then install java directly from a tarball from Sun, but that still leaves me without mozilla-mplayer. Also, that leaves even more programs that aptitude does not know about, opening up even more potential future problems. What is the best solution to this problem?

Re: Partition problems.
Hello, Thanks for your reaction. The NAS in question is a QNAP TS-109, a one bay model. From what I could gather the firmware is stored in flash and the disk is used to it's maximum for data storage. This is the layout I see when doing "cat /proc/partitions": 120060864 sdb 530113 sdb1 530145 sdb2 118913130 sdb3 72292 sdb4 The guys from Qnap have connected to the system in the past to try and repair it and they claimed the data was there but the "system partition is corrupt". I'm letting ddrescue do its thing again, hopefully getting a better image. I found some things online in the Forensics wiki: ddrescue --no-split /dev/sdb image log followed by: ddrescue --direct --max-retries=3 /dev/sdb image log and finally: ddrescue --direct --retrim --max-retries=3 /dev/sdb image log Once the process completes I'll let e2fsck run again and come back with detailed error messages.

I'm a linux starter however, so that doesn't help. The drive in question is a 120G Maxtor that was housed in a NAS. After a power outage the NAS reported the disk as empty. I took it out and assumed a hardware error. I have access to a harddisk hardware test suite but all those tests indicated that the disk is fine. The NAS runs an embedded linux (debian based) and has ext3 partitions so I started looking around for possible solutions. What kind of NAS appliance was that and what kind of disk layout did you have setup? Maybe what hapenned is that hard disk was part of a RAID or spanned volume and after the power outage the disk itslef was healthy but the RAID volume was put in degraded mode or the spanned layout had any problem :-? Using ddrescue an image was made, it reported 10 errors (45056B). I took a 1TB drive and installed that in my Ubuntu 32 bit machine as secondary disk with two partitions. One holding the image, one to hold the extracted image. When running e2fsck on that extracted image it reports a bad magic number in a superblock. I tried other superblocks and the last one worked (10240), however, the system ran out of memory trying to fix errors (4Gb system memory). I decided to run Ubuntu 64 bit live cd and hope that would solve the memory issue, but the issue remained. I then booted my main machine (12Gb memory) with Ubuntu live 64bit, but alas, out of memory again. The exact error message could have been useful. It could have been that "e2fsck" was complaining about "/tmp" or tmpfs space or something that can be tweaked easily... Of course, a LiveCD environment is very limited to carry out these recovery tasks because the live system has limited room for doing anything :-) At this point my hair is turning grey and I'm seeing linux commands in my sleep (good, I'm learning!). I decide to try some datacarving. Foremost and Photorec worked but the amount of usable files was pretty low and a lot didn't show up. At an end, I ran Testdisk and Parted. Both detect partitions but seem to think they're ext2. After they do their thing I still can't access it though (possibly I'm doing something wrong, this was late last night). Does anyone know how to fix the issue or what I could try next?Thanks for any advice you can dispense. :) J. If the device was acting as a single hard disk or volume, Photorec is one of the recommended tools for data recovery, so if you had no success with this tool it does not look good :-( If the disk was part of any kind of RAID 0, LVM or spanning layout maybe the remainder data is needed in order to be able to perform a full recovery, I would contact the manufacturer of the NAS and ask for any advice on how to proceed in such cases.

But they (gnome3 and gnome-shell) both are different and separate things. GNOME2/3 are a whole DE while "gnome-panel" and "gnome-shell" are just the UI (user interfaces), meaning that you can have GNOME3 with gnome- panel, you are not sticked to use the new UI at all (see the fallback mode).

Hi, how to control the speed of fan?
I searched on the Net, and according to the Wiki of arch, I should first install lm_sensors. Then, I ran sensors-detect. After doing that, I ran sensors, and got the following output: acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1:+26.8°C (crit = +88.0°C) radeon-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1:+54.5°C coretemp-isa- Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: +46.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C) Core 2: +40.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C) As you can see, the result is not complete. My laptop is dell studio 1458, and the cpu is i3. I am supposed to modify the sensors.conf to add something so as to make sensors show the rpm of my fan. But the problem is I don't know my chip's name. I guess my chip's name should be coretemp, but there is no coretemp in the conf. My final purpose is to control down the fan, and I am in wheezy. What should I do? Thanks

Maybe someone can think that having less options is a plus, but for me it is not, of course. I have a very simple but highly tweaked desktop (I'm specially "picky" with fonts and sizes of the icons, text and panels) so when someone tells me that I have (yes or yes!) to have a top bar (which I never used before) I say: "Okay, that's enough for me".

I think you wanted to say "angry", like the famous birds ;-) And yes, I feel more than angry when someone (or something) do not allow me to follow my own way and make my own customizations or having my desktop in the way I prefer. But I'm also lazy and GNOME2 has been serving me very well in these years, so I will give GNOME3+gnome-shell a chance before taking any radical step (like switching to another DE or WM).

Maybe you could try to play with /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method (look for "KMS Power Management Options" and "dynpm" on http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature). Also, did you try the powertop command (from the powertop package) for power management informations and adjustments? -- Best regards, Jörg-Volker. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

In my case, I am running an ATI Radeon dual display card in this desktop and use its Zaphod Heads mode. GNOME 2 was incapable of dealing with it in a sane way, KDE4 less so, so I use XFCE which handles the mode and the resulting independent desktops flawlessly. On a whim I installed GNOME 3 (shell and fallback) recently and gave it a spin. Until I moved my xorg.conf out of the way both modes would fail upon startup. When I did get them running the only possible configuration for the second monitor is as an extended desktop. But there was no means that I could figure out to put a panel or do anything but simply drag an app to the second screen. When GNOME shell was running, it was not intuitive and was extremely slow, to the point that I thought it had locked up. Fallback mode is a shell of its former GNOME 2 self. Neither mode offered any sort of menu upon right-clicking the desktop or panel. What do they think we have reverted to, an Apple single button mouse? The loss of functionality/capability is insane. > But I'm also lazy and GNOME2 has been serving me very well in these > years, so I will give GNOME3+gnome-shell a chance before taking any > radical step (like switching to another DE or WM). I found XFCE to be able to handle my need for independent desktops a year ago. For a window manager it works well. As a desktop I have many GNOME/GTK+ and a couple Qt apps installed. I tend to pick and choose and not run all of one or the other. I will say that the GTK3 apps do look nice with the Adwaita theme in use. On my laptop running Wheezy I am still running GNOME2 desktop and will until it is forceably removed. At that time I'll probably go back to XFCE on it as well. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."

question: building a live-dvd
Hi list, I want to learn, how to build a live-system of debian. I already read some manuals, but still I have a question for my specual needs. Which is the better solution for my purposes? Bootcdwrite? Live-builder? My special wishes: 1. My source is an already installed and configured debian system. 2. I added some extra files (i.e. my own wordlist or third-party-packages), which shall be added to the live-cd, too 3. Some directories shall not apppear at the livesystem (i.e. /var/log, history, /home/user/) 4. The finished live-cd shall be installable. 5. If possible (but that is not much important!), the working user of the source system shall not appear on the live system. At the moment I am happy with bootcdwrite using my own bootcdwrite.conf, but do you think, live-builder might be better for my puposes? At the moment the ISO-image is now 3GB big, so it will fit on a DVD. Will be happy for any feedback.

Yes, as part of this thread I did try iceweasel but same problem... I guess no surprise since iceweasel is a form of Firefox. Trying konqueror now: Much less of resource draw but then a good part of the page is simply not loaded. Everything in the top maroon colored area is just missing. And no error messages or any other messages. No login is possible with Konqueror. That stuff is just missing.

The iceape settings are as recommended except that one setting regarding navigation does not exist in the iceape preferences.

They look a bit high, maybe is that you card is not capable of running/applying those power savings profiles? :-? Anyway, you have more info on how to tweak the power settings of the ATI card (when using KMS and radeon driver) here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI If one method does not work, try with another until you find one that likes you, but also keep and eye on the temperatute of your notebook. > Now.

Playing with vga drivers is always risky and the first step for problems to arise. You will have to evaluate your current situation, if you can afford having the fan always on then consider trying the ATI drivers. If you compile upstream drivers, just ensure to disable KMS, maybe that's enough and you won't need to remove radeon driver at all. If you use Debian stock ATI closed drivers, they will take care of disabling KMS for you.

Then try to edit that file and accomodate the "Categories" to your
liking.
Anyway, I still think the package you've mentioned ("kdiff3-qt") should
provide the corresponding ".desktop" file under "/usr/share/
applications/" in the same way "kdiff3" package does :-?

boot problems (I think)
Hi, A system at a remote site cannot be reached via ssh and is not reacting to a ping after a reboot. This system has been rebooted in the past and had no problems booting. I will be going over there later this evening to find out what has gone wrong. The system is a HP server with iLo and a standard iLo license. So I can remote shut the system of, give it cold boot, stuff like that, but I cannot look at the screen. :-( Unfortunately a cold boot did not help. I assume some update in the past may have been the cause, maybe something related to the GRUB2 installation. I remember there being an update a while ago and I'm not sure I applied it to the proper partition as initially I applied it to all suggested partitions when I upgraded from Lenny. After the upgrade the system has been rebooted several times using Grub2 so initially this has not been a problem. If Grub2 is the case... how do I solve it? I'm downloading the Debian DVD1 image so I can boot with it. After that what do I do? The disk in the server is a logical disk form a RAID1 array and shows up in Debian as a disk named c0d0. I have several partitions for /boot, /, /usr, /var and swap. Do I do a chroot /dev/cciss/c0d0p5 when the p5 partition is originally the / partition? What do I do after that? Of course I won't know if Grub2 is the problem, not until I'm there looking a the screen, but just in case I'd like to get this thread going to get some relevant answers in case I need them.

That will sometimes cause the kernel to be out of sync with the device. You can trigger the Linux kernel to re-read the partition tables by using a few different tools. One of them is partprobe from the parted package. # apt-get install parted # partprobe /dev/sdb Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: boot problems (I think)
Hi, A system at a remote site cannot be reached via ssh and is not reacting to a ping after a reboot. This system has been rebooted in the past and had no problems booting. I will be going over there later this evening to find out what has gone wrong. The system is a HP server with iLo and a standard iLo license. So I can remote shut the system of, give it cold boot, stuff like that, but I cannot look at the screen. :-( Unfortunately a cold boot did not help. [] Turns out it is a hardware failure after all although the iLo screen reported no disk errors. :-( Worse, as the boot disk is a RAID array the server should simply have boooted from the remaining disk. Oh well, I get to go there tomorrow again when the engineer with the spare parts will be there as well. I have a funny feeling it won't be solved by simply inserting a new disk.

Rolls eyes at the GNOME "designers". If the GNOMEies wanted a phone interface, fine. There is no sane reason it must be forced on _everyone_ who wants to use GNOME3 (fallback as it currently exists is not an option either). Much to their chagrin, there are alternatives. Perhaps sanity will reign and someone will port GNOME2 panel to GTK3 and keep the Linux desktop viable. If not, such viability will rest on the shoulders of the XFCE and LXDE developers. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
