Boot problem : how to make it verbose ?
Hello,
I installed Debian Squeeze on a multi-boot PC where Ubuntu is the
first and bootable distro.
Using GRUB2, the options 'nosplash debug --verbose' are used, but
Debian freezes silently.
How to make boot verbose to see what happen ?
Hereafter the /boot/grub/grub.cfg :
menuentry "test Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (on
/dev/sda4)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,gpt4)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root b6ebc0b2-59cc-4ceb-81ba-c60d90be2fdc
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64
root=UUID=b6ebc0b2-59cc-4ceb-81ba-c60d90be2fdc ro nosplash debug
--verbose
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64
The original entry in grub.cfg was created by update-grub under Xubuntu.
From this entry was added in file /etc/grub.d/40_custom the option
'quiet( was replaced by 'nosplash debug --verbose' as a try to obtain
verbosity.
Then again update-grub to update grub.cfg file.
Thanks for attention and clue.
Bruno

Things *have* changed. For example, .xinitrc has been replaced with an .xsessionrc, also you no longer need any "exec /.../evilwm" stuff. (see below) errors go in to .xsession-errors - anything in there?

I must admit I google for something like that, but I was trying to find in "man bash" some argument to let bash or sh to run in the same environment.

Are 'nosplash' and 'debug --verbose' parameters the kernel knows about?
Anyway, when GRUB comes up edit the entry (hit the 'e' key) to remove
them and then boot.

The usual place to put kernel parameters is /etc/default/grub. Just
removing 'quiet' should get you more verbosity.

Is there any reason why you're using a { -name "*" } part? A quick test
suggests that you might as well discard it:
mudafct() { find . -mtime -"$1"; }

Anyway, more that looking into Adaptec's site I would make a search at the IBM pages. > Also need the steps to install What you demand is far from easy :-), not the installation itself but having to deal with hard disk controller drivers. You have to decide first what path to follow: install an updated kernel, compile an updated driver for your current kernel, getting a pre-made module from IBM or adaptec site... then decide when to install it (at install time or once the system has been installed) and finally run your own tests to see if all works as expected.

The problem is that the chromium version is too old. I tried to solve it, but no success. Then I tried to backport the chromium from sid, but some packages are too old in squeeze to do that. At the end I recompile chromium with the source that I downloaded from http://www.chromium.org/ Another option is to install chrome... but I do like that. It would be great to have a newer version in chromium in backports. That is a big problem with Debian. I do not mind to have old versions of the software, indeed I prefer to have a stable system.

All other answers to this email suggesting $1 inside an alias fail because of that. The alias is created using the script arguments, not the arguments passed to the alias during its usage. My last solution, very interesting, is that I don't need an argument at all. See what works! Inside ~./bash_aliases I wrote: alias muda="find . -mtime " Now, after run $source ~./bash_aliases $alias alias muda='find . -mtime ' And I can run my alias without using a function, just typing: $ muda -10 It will concatenate the whole alias with the arg and run. Thats a nice solution without using any function at all. Also, it explains why you changing the -$1 to $1 (passing a negative value, instead of keeping the 'minus' in the alias and passing a positive value) works. Actually, all $1 is substituted to an empty string, and it is just like the alias above. Unfortunately, you cannot, for example, change the directory with an argument, because 'find' can't accept a command in an inverted order like: $find -mtime -10 /home/kilemal in case which your alias could be just alias muda='find -mtime'. You need a function to achieve that.

OT chromium/chrome sandbox
Hi, I installed chrome and also new version of chromium, but I installed both only for a single user that I only use to use chrome/chromium. I installed chrome in /home/user/opt. Usually I do that with programs that I download from internet. Interestingly I noticed that chrome/chromium use some kind of sandbox to isolate the process that renders the page. That is a good idea for security purposes, but it requires to the executable chrome-sandbox to have suid root access. I do not understand that. How about if there is a bug in chrome-sandbox? Then some malicious code could get root access which is even worse. I am running chrome with the option --no-sandbox, and I didn't set the root suid to chrome-sandbox.

Re: Boot problem : how to make it verbose ?
I installed Debian Squeeze on a multi-boot PC where Ubuntu is the first and bootable distro. Are you chainloading GRUB2s or are you loading Debian directly from Ubuntu's own GRUB2 version? I boot direclt from the Ubuntu's own GRUB2 version. Using GRUB2, the options 'nosplash debug --verbose' are used, but Debian freezes silently. How to make boot verbose to see what happen ? (...) The changes you have done should be enough. However other options were also tried without any result. In what stage is the system hanging at? What can you see in the screen? Can you at least reach the GRUB2 boot menu? I would try to load Debian from SuperGrub2Disk or any other LiveCD just to test if it hangs at the same point. Yes, the GRUB2 menu is reached (in fact, it's used to boot the other system on same PC). The Debian system hangs direcly. Nothing is displayed. Yes, a LiveCD Debian 6 works fine (however it was a i386, the installed Debian is a amd64, the working Xubuntu is also a amd64).

QuickCam Orbit AF Pan/Tilt Broken in Sid
Hi all, I have a Logitech QuickCam Orbit AF (USB ID 046d:0994). The Pan/Tilt controls work fine under Debian Squeeze, but they fail under Debian Sid. When I plug in the camera, udev runs uvcdynctrl to load the pan/tilt controls into the driver. On Debian Squeeze, this works OK, but here is what happens on Debian Sid: Executing command: 'uvcdynctrl -d /dev/video0 --addctrl=046d:0994' [libwebcam] Unsupported V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE_AUTO control with a non-contiguous range of choice IDs found [libwebcam] Invalid or unsupported V4L2 control encountered: ctrl_id = 0x009A0901, name = 'Exposure, Auto' checking dir: /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data found dir: 046d found: /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml Parsing: /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml Importing dynamic controls from file /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml.

(Code: 5) /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml: error: device 'video0' skipped because the driver 'uvcvideo' behind it does not seem to support dynamic controls. In an attempt to narrow down the problem, I rebooted my machine to the Squeeze kernel (2.6.32-5-686-bigmem), and the error message changed: Importing dynamic controls from file /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml. /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml: error: video0: unable to map 'Pan (relative)' control. ioctl(UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP) failed with return value -1 (error 22: Invalid argument) /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml: error: video0: unable to map 'Tilt (relative)' control. ioctl(UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP) failed with return value -1 (error 22: Invalid argument) /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml: error: video0: unable to map 'Pan Reset' control. ioctl(UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP) failed with return value -1 (error 22: Invalid argument) /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml: error: video0: unable to map 'Tilt Reset' control. ioctl(UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP) failed with return value -1 (error 22: Invalid argument) /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml: error: video0: unable to map 'Pan/tilt Reset' control. ioctl(UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP) failed with return value -1 (error 22: Invalid argument) /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml: error: video0: unable to map 'Focus' control. ioctl(UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP) failed with return value -1 (error 22: Invalid argument) /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml: error: video0: unable to map 'LED1 Mode' control. ioctl(UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP) failed with return value -1 (error 22: Invalid argument) /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml: error: video0: unable to map 'LED1 Frequency' control. ioctl(UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP) failed with return value -1 (error 22: Invalid argument) /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml: error: video0: unable to map 'Disable video processing' control. ioctl(UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP) failed with return value -1 (error 22: Invalid argument) /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml: error: video0: unable to map 'Raw bits per pixel' control. ioctl(UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP) failed with return value -1 (error 22: Invalid argument) I downgraded libwebcam0, uvcdynctrl, and uvcdynctrl-data to the versions in Squeeze. At this point the pan/tilt controls started working OK. When I rebooted back to the current Sid kernel (3.2.0-2-686-pae), I got the original error again. This leads me to believe there is a problem with the kernel, but I wanted to try asking here before filing a bug report. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any thoughts on what I should try next? I can't use 2.6.32 for day-to-day operations, so I'm kind of stuck in a bind. Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list. Cheers, Mike.

And the function is trivial. Just pop it in your .bashrc
muda() { local M="$1" D="$2"; find "${D:-.}" -mtime -"${M:-1}"; }
muda # Find from "." anything modified within 1 day
muda 3# Find from "." anything modified within 3 days
muda 2 /tmp # Find from "/tmp/" anything modified within 2 days
Or if you really don't want a function, create a script and drop it

This is documented in the netcat man page: CAVEATS UDP port scans will always succeed (i.e. report the port as open), rendering the -uz combination of flags relatively useless.

Here are the options I used: `-o uid=501 -o gid=20 -o umask=002` For what I understand, the main purpose of these options are to fool the client permissions. In fact, it seems there's no relation between the permissions on the server and the permissions seen from the client. >From the client, all the folders and files are owned by 501/20 (user/group) and have a 775 permission (files also have 775 and not 664). But the permissions are still working: the server does not allow me to do actions I don't have permission to do. For example, if on the server I create a file with touch a && chmod 000 a on the server if I `ls -l` it gives me: -- a but on the client -rwxrwxr-x a @Camaleón: I will make remarks on the link you provided me. Approach 1: This doesn't work, for the reasons I said above. Approach 2 & 3: These approaches are technically the same: fixing the problem afterwards. This works great but I don't find it very neat so I will use it if really necessary. Also, `inotifywatch` should do the trick. @Rob Owens: I tried the `-o allow_other` but this only let me access the mounted directory with another user on the client side. This doesn't fix the problem. @ Tom H: This seems to be the problem but I must say that I don't really understand what this paragraph means, especially this: "But the problem is, that the openssh sftp server indeed cares about the server side umask [...] On the remote computer the SFTP subsystem of SSH is used. You should therefore be able to set the umask for sftp via the usual wrapper script and get the umask that you want." What wrapper script ? I must apologize if I didn't make it clear before, but the problem is not only a umask problem, it's also an ACL problem (I think). In fact, the umask of the user on the server is 002 and when I create a file through sshfs, the permissions are correct (755 or 644). The thing is I added default ACLs like the `default:group` option and it doesn't seem to be applied, though if I `getfacl` on the files created on the client side it seems the permissions are correct. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
