EFI

Dear Debian users!

I have 1 strorage disk connected in USB port. I need mount EFI
filesystem storage to my server.

Upgrading to Iceweasel 10 in Squeeze

[Scott Ferguson]

In case people don't subscribe to pkg-mozilla-maintainers (and for those
the do search this list before posting)

You'll need this:-
# get key with:-
# wget -O- -q http://mozilla.debian.net/archive.asc | gpg --import
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports iceweasel-release

Either in /etc/apt/sources.list
or (preferably) in a *.list file beneath /etc/apt/sources.list.d
eg.:-
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla-backports_iceweasel.list


Then:-
# apt-get update
$ wget -t 0
http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libv/libvp/libvpx0_0.9.7.p1-2_i386.deb
(modify to suit your location)

Then
# dpkg -i libvpx0_0.9.7.p1-2_i386.deb; apt-get install xulrunner-10.0
iceweasel

NOTE: some sites have problems with the double digit version number.
Install a browser agent spoofer for a work-around.

So, if it is EFI fs, then you could handle it with FAT32.

Re: Two CD-DVD writers and Debian Lenny

[Merciadri Luca]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Ok, here are the details. The situation is now clear, but I don't know
yet how to solve it.

Three CD-DVD readers, from which two are writers. Configuration is as follows:

1/ writer (OPTIARC AD-7203S),
2/ reader (NEC DV-5800C),
3/ writer (NEC ND-2500A).

Using the `Dummy mode' of Gnomebaker, I realize that

* Choosing `NEC ND-2500A' results in choosing `OPTIARC AD-7203S'
(which works),
* Choosing `OPTIARC AD-7203S' results in choosing `NEC DV-5800C'
(which is not a writer and therefore fails),
* It is not possible to write on NEC ND-2500A,
* I'm getting an error
==
Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits.scsidev
==
which seems not to affect any burning.

By `A results in choosing B' I mean that the device actually taken into
consideration is B at the place of A. (For example, B is ejected at
the place of A.)

How could I put this into order?

Thanks.

If you tell reportbug that you do not have an smtp server, it will use a

My first linux box (SuSE Linux 8.2) was installed on a Matrox G450, IIRC. 
I had to do nothing, it worked out of the box. Maybe I was just lucky.

Afterwards, I have installed over nvidia (mostly in workstations), ATI 
(in servers) and Intel (netbooks).

Nope, maybe because my displays were well supported (Sony) :-)

Nope, in fact I've only had to deal with that at the time Xorg became 
dynamic but not before (openSUSE had a very nice tool to configure this 
called "SaX").

> Nowadays, you don´t really need to do anything ... 

No? Nothing? Really? I mean, really? 

You do have to do many things now that were not needed in the old days. 
For instance, try to install the closed source nvidia driver while having 
nuvó installed. In the old times, editing one line at xorg.conf was all 
to get the driver loaded. Now you can be even forced to uninstall one set 
of the drivers to use the other. And debugging has turned very 
difficult...

Well, "radeon" driver should be by now the best open source VGA driver 
out there, it's almost open source and developers have been working on it 
since many years...

Intel is another good choice if you don't want many problems and are 
happy with a low-end 3D card.

I've always been lucky with nvidia closed drivers. I don't like the fact 
they are closed but at least I get a stable system with few glitches.

Reportbug is a nice tool, in the event it does not crash >:-)

And I don't remember of having to configure an e-mail server to use it, 
you can provide your e-mail address, your smtp server settings and it 
will ask you for the password.

You can also report bugs manually by e-mail. It is more complicated but 
works well.

connection problems

[Angela Brune]

Hi,
I installed Debian 6 on my machine. Everything was going fine, but at
some point, after installing Gaussian 09 and writing in the .bashrc
file the lines I'm reporting below, the connection starting
oscillating.
 Sometimes it goes for 2 or 3 minutes, then it comes back and so on.
Even after deleting those lines the problem persists. I also tried
restarting the network but it won't help.
 I'm pretty sure the problem comes from these lines, because the same
thing happened with two other operative systems and I don't think it
can be a pure coincidence.
 Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance.
The lines I wrote in the .bashrc file are the following:
g09root="dir"
GAUSS_SCRDIR="sdir"
export g09root GAUSS_SCRDIR
. $g09root/g09/bsd/g09.profile


the file g09.profile contains the following lines:
#
# These commands set up for use of Gaussian 09.  They should be source'd
# into each Gaussian 09 user's .login file, after setting the following
# environment variable:
#
# g09root -- Directory which contains the g09 main directory.  Defaults
#to users's home directory if not defined before entry.
#
# Top directories for the program:
#
gr=$HOME
if [ "$g09root" ]
  then gr=$g09root

In Europe is quite common (and also the SSTP variant) but on large 
companies (small businesses still use cat5 UTP and 10/100 devices). In 
fact, all of our patch panels use STP cabling and also the pigtails for 
conneting the computers to the swicth are also shielded. Yes, they are 
hard to work with but provide a much better resistance from external 
interferences and this was mainly the reason for us using it: gigabit 
cables share the same pipe with power lines, cctv camera cables (rg-59) 
and fire alarm system.

So basically the problem is that the burning application is detecting the 
optical units wrongly, right?

You can use udev rules to statically identify the units or use "uuid/id" 
for the devices in "/etc/fstab" so they are mounted in the right order.

Mmm, it seems that latest Adobe FlashPlayer (11.x) requires at least 
Firefox 4, so getting the latest version (now 10.0) will do the job.

Remove any printer instance you already have configured and try by adding 
again the printer. Use CUPS web interface better than gnome printer 
applet.

I started using Linux with Suse 9.0 and even today I've got an outdated

are unsupported by the X "calculators" in the Internet.

I agree that it was easier to set up X in the old days, than it is today
and I confirm that using the proprietary driver, if possible, is the
best way to go. If the proprietary driver doesn't work, e.g. because of
issues related to a kernel-rt, than I use the nv driver, that btw. was
dropped for Debian when I used Debian some month ago. On Arch Linux the
nv driver still is in the official repositories.

Ok, Thanks for this tip. I followed this with the system running
normally as I want. But whenever I make this 1 change in the Kernel
config, it stops the networking from working. The change I'm trying to
make is change the 'Timer Frequency' of the kernel from 250Hz to
1000hz.

If I do that and save the configuration without ANY other change and
then compare the .config.old and .config, I see a whole bunch of other
stuff changed with respect to audio/sound and what not. Then when I
build the kernel, the networking/bonding all fails to start. Here's
the diff between the two files.

Bonding? I would first try to setup the ethernet cards separately and 
once you have checked they're working okay with no errors, proceed with 
bonding.

OTOH, I've always thought that lower values for timer frequencies are 
better for servers... Anyway, do the cards came up when no bonding is set 
or it fails in the same way?

Nope, sorry, I can't decipher what can be wrong. But sometimes you need 
to use the menuconfig instead manually making the changes because some 
kernel menus/options require another modules to be enabled.

Effectively, but what is the link with the burning programs? Do they
behave in the same way to find the burners?

Currently, here is the part of my fstab related to cd/dvd stuff:

==
/dev/scd0   /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0   0
/dev/scd1   /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0   0
/dev/scd2   /media/cdrom2   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0   0

I will send in some minutes the output of lshw.

a faster timer interrupt, as a I understand, allows for a more precise
and granular track of time and how events are scheduled handled. As I
understand it, a timer frequency of 250Hz will have an CPU interrupt
once every 4 seconds and 1Khz will be once every sec. or something
along those lines. This becomes critical where latency is important,
for e.g. a server that handles real-time voice/video communication.
This person explains it better:

"A faster clock can allow the system to perform more precise delays,
and to respond to events more quickly. Systems running at a higher
clock frequency should have lower latencies in many situations. There
is an overhead associated with the timer interrupt, however; a
higher-frequency interrupt will take more CPU time. So, for server
loads (where latency is
less important), the overhead of a higher timer frequency is not worth
it. On laptops, the default 1KHz timer can also defeat the CPU's power
management features and significantly reduce battery life.

In other words, there is no single value for the timer frequency which
works for all users. Changing the frequency is still relatively hard,
however; some people are more comfortable with building new kernels
than others. Wouldn't it be nice if the frequency could be made into a
boot-time parameter, so that it could be changed from one boot to the
next without a kernel rebuild? "

I have noticed a big difference between 1000HZ and 100HZ on a system
running in VMware. The clock will often end up being much slower than
the real time clock just because VMware can't deal with the overhead
(100HZ being the fix). "

Yes, fails the same way with or without bonding.

Not modifying anything by hand, all being done in menuconfig. I did
the following:

# cp -p /boot/config-2.6.32-5-sparc64 .config
# make menuconfig


# diff .config.old .config (The output of which is pasted above)

and then saw ALL those changes that got made on its own by simply
changing the Timer Frequency.

Weird!

Missing sound module after upgrade

[Tony van der Hoff]

The latest kernel upgrade for Squeeze caused my sound to die. I 
eventually tracked this down to missing module snd-hda-intel.


Performing "modprobe snd-hda-intel" restores normal operation.

I can't find which configuration file to update with this command to 
allow it to persist through a reboot.


Any suggestions, please?

Cheers, Tony

Yes, which can be good for multimedia purposes but not for the usual

I have no complaints and all of my systems (servers, workstations and

Yup. There are linux distributions that provide precompiled kernels with 
these settings "tweaked" so the users can install the best kernel for 
their needs. openSUSE does this way, for instance.

Sure, the change can be noticeable in some conditions or specific

Yes... I've never heard about that before. I wonder if the architecture

Hmm, the module should be tried and loaded at startup, you might want to
check syslog. Anyway you can add a line to /etc/modules to load it:

# echo "snd-hda-intel" >>/etc/modules

Who knows... I would look at gnomebaker menu "Preferences/Device 
settings" and see what it says there, I mean, if what gnomebaker sees 
matches what the system sees. Should they differ, maybe you can add new 
devices and select them directly from its mount point or device uuid/id.

OTOH, you still have a secondary problem with your NEC ND-2500A which 
still does not work. For this one, I would manually burn a media disc 
(using wodim) and see the output.

Yes, really. It's such an improvement on the past. Nouveau gets the

Sounds dreadful! I'm thankful to be among the 95% of PC users who do not

I don't know...it could be. I have done this for Debian in x86_64
environment and went without a hitch. I guess I need to post this in

Yeah, there were some tools to calculate modelines ... Fortunately, I
got away with specifying the frequencies.

You are very likely to end up with a graphical display because all the
drivers are (needlessly) installed through dependencies, and which one
is used is being figured out automatically. That doesn´t mean that your
display is optimally configured.

Just put nuveau into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.

In many cases, things work without xorg.conf.

If you have had several different drivers for the same card 15 years
ago, you´d probably have had the same problem.

ATI cards have been troublesome with OS/2 2.0 and 3.0, with various
versions of Windoze and with Linux.

I have a Radeon card in this laptop, and when I switch over to that card
with vgaswitcheroo, I don´t get any further screen output until I switch
back to the Intel card. The open source driver for them might be great,
it just doesn´t help me when there´s no screen output. If I could have
bought this laptop with an NVDIA card, I would have. All the NVDIA cards
I´ve had just worked fine, and all the ATI cards I´ve had and have seen
were troublesome.

The Intel card is ok unless I want to play a game. For games, it´s an
euphemism to say that the performance is pathetic.

Yeah, that´s why I keep buying NVDIA cards: they work. Now I didn´t have
a choice but to get an ATI card in this laptop, and of course, it
doesn´t work ...

You say no sound; that holds for a variety of file types?

Someone mentioned going into Tools/Preferences/Audio Settings and
verifying the output module (and perhaps experimenting with the
available ones in the drop-down list).

But you never even mentioned "standard keyboard". It is true you were
quoted, but then it was several paragraphs before the question about
standard keyboards was brought up, and since you had not mentioned
it, it seemed he had moved back to the original post, which did mention
"standard keyboard". I guess he just moved to the topic of standard
keyboards in general?

That's what it says, but . . .   Flashplayer 11.1 r102, Firefox 3.5.15, Fedora 
12 (all 64-bit) works just fine here.  Works in Google Chrome 16.0.912.63, 
64-bit, too.  My Debian 6 install, also 64-bit, has neither Firefox or Chrome 
installed, and only the 10.x version of Flash.  So, I can't test.

To the OP:  Have you removed, moved, or renamed the old version(s) of Flash?  
If not, two different versions of Flash even in different directories will 
cause problems.

OT:info needed virtualbox networking

[richard]

Greetings,
Hi my cups server is on my debian machine, but thats all thats Debian with this.
Does anyone know which ports winxp  uses for for printing raw to a
samba server, also on my debian machine.
winrubbish in its own partition prints OK to the samba server, but wincrapXP
cant connect to the printer when run in virtualbox.
I'm wondering if its the wincrap firewall, can't turn it off, as that kills
networking.
How did Gates make soo much money from selling such crap ?  arghhh

For cups, port is 631.
For Samba, 137-139, 445

But I doubt you have to open any port in XP to use it as a client, if
it's a firewall problem it's more likely on the server side.

For cups, if your virtualbox machine is on it's own subnet, you need to
have in cups config:
Allow From @LOCAL

and advertise cups server with:
ServerName [cups-server-IP]

Only thing to check on XP is the "Internet printing client" (or
something like that) from "add or remove Windows features" in "add and
remove program" control panel (all names are pure invention, but you get
the idea about what to look for). I think this feature is selected as a
default, but not sure and (happily) I don't have any windows around to
check.

I have backports enabled, and my iceweasel was updated to 10.0
yesterday when I did a standard safe-upgrade.

Perhaps this is a function of adding
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports iceweasel-release
to your /etc/apt/sources.list

?

I suspect you may have Wheezy/Sid/Experimental and/or Multimedia enabled.

Where did you get libnss3-1d_3.13.1.with.ckbi.1.88-1~bpo60+1_i386.deb

a server is closed, but will start in future, sooner or later,

I wish to access in the first time it's open.

I tried:

while ( ssh server )
do
sleep 60
done

wall < server_open.txt

actually I don't know how to write the while part,

thanks for suggestions,

Best regards,

When I tried to use CUPS wed interface, the printers it detected lots
lots, there are lots of printers in this networks with the same name
and brand.

I only know the IP of printer. by applet can easily find the one with the IP.

Backup System

[Gary Roach]

I have 3 computer running on Debian Squeeze. One has an unused hard 
drive that I wish to use as a backup disk for all 3 computers. Is there 
a simple way to do this that can be completely automated.

 At this point, II get:

No - I believe that's incorrect (or dpkg wouldn't be looking for
iceweasel 10.0s dependancies)

That's where iceweasel 10.0 came from.

> deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ squeeze main

That's where you could have pulled libvpx0_0.9.7.p1-2_i386.deb from. You
have more than one repository enabled that it's available in - which was
was used would depend on your pinning.

> deb http://debian.dc-uoit.net/debian-multimedia/ stable main

That's a duplication.

> deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free main

That's a duplication of your entry for:-
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free contrib

> deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main
> non-free contrib experimental

This is where Rob is best getting libnss3-1d ver.3.13.1 from (I don't
believe he had it enabled - only he can tell).

> deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze experimental main

This one doesn't exist.
You're confusing the squeeze release with experimental. eg.:-
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main (+contrib and non-free)
*OR*
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ experimental main (+contrib and non-free)

NOTE: all the hip, with-it, cool kids are using /etc/apt/sources.list.d
snippets now ;-)
ie. only the main repository is in sources.list, additional ones are
individual *.list files beneath /etc/apt/sources.list.d making it easier
to manage individual extra repositories and system dist-upgrades.

Depends on your exact notion of 'simple'; there are many backup
solutions that can easily be configured to work over a network. For
example, I use rsnapshot, which can easily be configured to run over
ssh.

Re: lpr command not found

There is a bit more to this matter than the package "lpr".  

About a decade ago, the package lprng ("ng" meaning "next generation")
fixed most of the problems of the package lpr.  Most importantly, the
author of lprng carefully documented the procedure for configuring the
printing system.  And though lprng was carefully wrought and worked
well, lprng nonetheless was an elaborate patch of a legacy printing
system.  In those days, getting printing configured properly was a
somewhat complex post-installation process.

Then cups was designed, and getting printing working properly in Linux
suddenly was a fairly simple matter.  Things went well until cups was
purchased by Apple, since which event there have been some
improvements in printing configuration and management and some
regressions.  And I miss the marvelous detailed cups test page, which
Apple replaced with a primitive and ugly version.

Today, "lpr" simply is one of the commands which cups recognizes;
that is, cups controls the printer, and "lpr" is an element of the
command set of cups.  

For example, I print a man page on the default laser printer with the
command string "man -t packagename | lpr".  And I print address labels
on a dot-matrix printer with the command string "lpr -Poki labels".

Insserv overrides

[Sylvain]

Hello,

I have a setup in which the slim display manager logs in automatically 
and then starts a program (thanks to the .xinitrc file). This program 
needs dbus to work correctly and at the moment it crashes every time 
it's launched because dbus is not yet started (slim starts in runlevel 3).


I was told about using insserv overrides but I can't find any good 
documentation on this, even the manpage is quite vague about the format 
the override file should have. So I put this in a 
/etc/insserv/overrides/slim file:



#!/bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:  slim
# Required-Start:$local_fs $remote_fs dbus
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs
# Should-Start:  xfs $named slapd
# Should-Stop:   xfs $named slapd
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:  0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start/stop the SLiM daemon.
### END INIT INFO


I'm not sure if I should repeat the whole LSB headers or only the one I 
want to change (in this case Required-Start). In all cases, this doesn't 
work since dbus is still not started when the program that depends on it 
starts. Am I missing something? Should I run an insserv command to take 
the override file into account? How can I check that the override file 
is used?


Thanks,
Sylvain

libcairo seems incomplete

[Joel Roth]

Hi wizards and wizardesses,

Trying to compile sndfile-tools from git, the author suggests
I have a library problem.

Cairo appears to be present during the ./configure
phase, however some dependent libraries are not
found during make. 

One of these libraries is libxcb-shm.so.0,
which is present:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-shm.so.0

Can someone help me solve this:
