What I did not understand previously from the manpage is what determines
'highest priority'.  I was under the impression that one can change that
with update-alternatives and I did not realise that it was a by-product
of the packaged alternatives' installation.

After the explanation on the list and reading the man page again, this
became clear to me.

Even though technically correct, it did not help me on the first (and
second read) to understand it correctly although I am an experienced
Debian user and was system administrator for 10 years.

Can anyone please reproduce this crash in X on Sid?

[Anthony Campbell]

I am running Sid on two computers, one with Nouveau, the other with
Radeon.

In both, if I kill the process corresponding to X *from within X*,
either the machine freezes completely (Radeon) or shuts down completely
(Nouveau),  If I kill it from a tty terminal there is no problem. 

Is this something peculiar in my setup or can other people running Sid
reproduce it? It happens with several different window managers (i3,
dwm, icewm); I don't know about desktop managers.

It does not happen in Squeeze.

Well, then don't use DHCP Relay :)

Seriously, whenever I used some other machine as DHCP server all I ever 
did was disable DHCP in the box and everything just worked (this with a 
wide variety of brands).

I haven't used it, but I think it was I who originally recommended it,
so I'll try best to answer your questions.

(Debian 2.6.32-45) problems using ipv6/ip6tables

[g.spellauge]

hi,

i'm new to ipv6, just trying to go the first steps and got trapped.

my configuration:

testmachine with 2 network interfaces (eth0 local, eth1 connected to our
internet router)

Linux version 2.6.32-5-686 (Debian 2.6.32-45) (da...@debian.org) (gcc
version 4.3.5 (Debian 4.3.5-4) ) #1 SMP Sun May 6 04:01:19 UTC 2012

ipv6-conf-script -

#ipv6
ARG="$1"

case "$ARG" in
start)
  cmd="add"
  ;;

stop)
  cmd="del"
  ;;

*)
  echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
  exit 1
  ;;
esac


ip -6 addr $cmd 2001:1438:2000::17:17:127/48 dev eth1
ip -6 route $cmd ::/0 via 2001:1438:2000::1

after executing ipv6 start i can ping6 our internet router
(2001:1438:2000::1) and ipv6-addresses in the outside world such as
ipv6.google.com and www.nasa.gov

now i  created a minimal firewall configuration -

#ipv6firewall
INE_IFACE="eth1"
LAN_IFACE="eth0"

IPT=/sbin/ip6tables


case "$1" in
  stop)
# policy: accept anthing

;;
esac

after executing ipv6firewall i can no ping6 the outside world for an
extended time period, not even our internet-router - some ping6-replies
are recieved and than ping6 stalls:

How to install drivers for this nVidia graphics card?

[aditya menon]

Hello everyone,

Can you give me an easy way to install drivers for this card *Nvidia
GeForce GT520M*?

I'm on a laptop. I've tried many things, including this command: aptitude
install linux-headers-`uname -r` nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx from an
answer I got on StackOverflow. Everything I do results in X failing to
start. In fact I just re-installed X and now it refuses to start at all.

So are there a set of commands I can use to simply install the driver? My
primary need is to raise the resolution of the monitor...

Thanks!

Hi All,

I didn't really follow the discussion, but another approach can be
Linux Containers: http://wiki.debian.org/LXC
(just in case no one mentioned before)

Hi,

I installed pam_mount but the configuration is not correct i think. I

Mounting manually with:

Could you take a look to the command-output and to pam_mount.conf.xml

Yes, that's what I mean. Thanks for trying. It doesn't need to be killed
with sudo in my case.

Re: How to install drivers for this nVidia graphics card?

[Tom]

Hey,


Can you give me an easy way to install drivers for this
card *Nvidia GeForce GT520M*?

Everything I do results in X failing to start.


Is your laptop by any chance crippled with Optimus weirdness?
I'd never heard of it until recently, when I bumped into the
exact same problem (sadly on the laptop of someone I finally
convinced to give Linux a try).

If so, either you're lucky and you can disable the Nvidia card
from the BIOS. If you can't, there's quite some reading ahead
of you. :) Check out Bumblebee (3.0, not older, and not some
obsolete rename called Ironhide), it has a page on the Debian
wiki [1].

In the meantime X started just fine after I removed everything
nouveau/Nvidia (making X pick the Intel driver) and installed
libgl1-mesa-glx and -dri (IIRC) for GLX.

Luck,
Tom

..first things first: Does this "fglrx" driver even support 
your card?

..please post your output of: 'lspci |grep VGA '.
If that shows an ATI card, we will probably want 
to see your dmesg.


..what happens if you try use the "ati" driver instead?

I'm on a laptop. I've tried many things, including this command: aptitude 
install linux-headers-`uname -r` nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glxfrom an answer I 
got on StackOverflow. Everything I do results in X failing to start. In fact I 
just re-installed X and now it refuses to start at all.

So are there a set of commands I can use to simply install the driver? My 
primary need is to raise the resolution of the monitor...

Thanks!

(Debian 2.6.32-45) problems using ipv6/ip6tables #2

[gus...@spllg.de]

hi,

i'm new to ipv6, just trying to go the first steps and got trapped.

my configuration:

testmachine with 2 network interfaces (eth0 local, eth1 connected to our
internet router)

Linux version 2.6.32-5-686 (Debian 2.6.32-45) (da...@debian.org) (gcc
version 4.3.5 (Debian 4.3.5-4) ) #1 SMP Sun May 6 04:01:19 UTC 2012

  ;;

stop)

  echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
  exit 1
  ;;
esac


ip -6 addr $cmd 2001:1438:2000::17:17:127/48 dev eth1
ip -6 route $cmd ::/0 via 2001:1438:2000::1

after executing ipv6 start i can ping6 our internet router
(2001:1438:2000::1) and ipv6-addresses in the outside world such as
ipv6.google.com and www.nasa.gov


now i  created a minimal firewall configuration -

#ipv6firewall

after executing ipv6firewall i can no ping6 the outside world for an
extended time period, not even our internet-router - some ping6-replies
are recieved and than ping6 stalls:

..you a little more than seem to work on the assumtion that 
we know everything about you.  Which would be wise if you 
think we are e.g. a Chinese government intelligence service.  
Some of us are.  And some not.  So, if you want our help,
you need to tell us what we need to know about your box, 
e.g. which distro, what apps etc, so we can help diagnose
and help fix your problem.

uninstall the dnet-common and libdnet, libprotaudio2, librar-compat2
and libroar2 works.

My curiosity is that why during the full-upgrade, it's installed the
dnet-common. Is it something important?

Thanks with best regards,

Yes, so it seems. IPv6 doesn’t have ARP anymore, it uses ICMPv6 to 
discover ARP addresses and neighbours with the help of multicast IPv6 
addresses. So your configuration probably drops these packets. It would 
try to allow all icmpv6 traffic:

${IPT} -A INPUT  -j ACCEPT -m state \! –state INVALID -p icmpv6
${IPT} -A OUTPUT -j ACCEPT -m state \! –state INVALID -p icmpv6
If you want to tune these rules you have to look into the standards to 
get all necessary ICMPv6 types you need for a working setup.


On the other hand, you don’t have any rules for the loopback interface 
lo. I would allow anything here:

${IPT} -A INPUT  -j ACCEPT -i lo
${IPT} -A OUTPUT -j ACCEPT -o lo

FWIW, nouveau only works correctly if you downgrade libcairo to 1.10.x
(available from snapshot.debian.org or in squeeze-backports), see bug
#666468¹.

The 295.40 driver suffers from performance regressions on GeForce
6xxx/7xxx, see #668854².  Upgrading to 295.49 in unstable should help.

It won't very work well though, since there is no working free microcode
for the card yet¹ (GeForce GT 520M belongs to the NVD9 family).  And
without that there's no acceleration. :-(

This doesn't fix the bug that causes the slow tab switching in Chrome.
The following fixes it for me:

nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=0

This needs to be ran each time X starts. I haven't tried to find a
permanent fix yet.

The slow problem occurs with more than one tab, but disabling
flashplayer-nonfree
everything is ok, chrome and graphics effects back to normal speed.
It seems like a libcairo issue, I will try downgrading libcairo and upgrading
nvidia driver to 295.49.

The bug is in the nvidia drivers, but it is related to libcairo. I was
keeping libcairo pinned prior to finding the nvidia-settings tweak to
resolve the issue.

I too was wondering about that just now, when a DECNet configuration
dialog popped out on my screen, during an aptitude upgrade. AFAIK,
DECNet is some old network protocol which is mostly unused nowadays.
Why would my system decide to install support for it all of a sudden?

The link Steve gave above is very informative.

I just removed the installed dnet-common, libdnet, libprotaudio2, librar-compat2
and libroar2.
after reboot.
aptitude full-upgrade didn't ask me to install those package again.

I have been having problems with PA in experimental/unstable.
They don't seem to be exactly the same problems, but perhaps
there is some connection.

Have you looked in detail at the PA config with "pactl list"? In
my case, I needed to add the card and the sink with something
like
"pactl load-module module-alsa-card" and
"pactl load-module module-alsa-sink"
(not at home, so I don't have the exact commands).

In general pactl was a very helpful utility that I had not noticed
until the fine folks at #pulseaudio on freenode pointed it out to
me.

I confirm that downgrading libcairo to 2.4.1-1~bpo60+1, using
squeezy backports and pinning it, the problem has solved.

iceaweasel experimental is not true firefox in my hands

[Francesco Pietra]

The message below was intended to

pkg-mozilla-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org list

google mail complains that such address does not exist


Hi
I have followed all your instructions in upgrading iceaweasel to
iceweasel beta on i386 wheezy. All went on as described at
"http://mozilla.debian.net/"; without any error message.

However, google still complains that the installed browser is
inadequate. It is, in fact, probably because I am missing something:

---Google mail is not treated as it should, i.e.,  there is no key to
delete all trashed mail in a single step, for example. This requires
the extra work of labeling all messages, one by one, to delete them.
Also, although I installed version 7, java does not work with the web.

Separately I have mozilla firefox'. launching it, google mail does not
complain and the above said key exists.

Thanks for your kind attention

I'm afraid google mail is wrong. Did you get a bounce? Here's an archive of

The computer is still running but the screen is dead. Whereas, with the

That works too. It's closing from within X itself that locks things up.

something about rm

[lina]

Hi,

Today I made some mistake,

I mount the remote server my home directory into local laptop.

when I tried to umount it, I justed type the rm -r remote_mount_dir

after I realize it, seems some directoy under ~/home has removed,

one is .ssh, obviously.

others I couldn't tell, like:

-bash-3.2$ firefox
Error: no display specified
-bash-3.2$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm:  DISPLAY is not set

what's the sequence of rm-ing do?  I mean, based on which order it
removes file.
are there some history records those romove process.

Thanks,

Best regards,

That is not rumor, I understand from trolling the Wine list that is
because the Wine devs pay special attention to some popular games so
that they run well (WoW for instance), and Linux resource usage is
much lower that Windows + Firewall + Antivirus + installed Crapware
(every printer, modem, and mouse wants the user to install some
application).

So now you can't login using keys.

These look more like environment variable problems.  Perhaps caused by a
missing .bashrc file.

As far as I know, files are removed alphabetically.  I'm sure someone
will correct me if I'm wrong.

Unless you did a 'rm -v' and saved the output, I believe the record does
not exist.

Hope your luck changes,

/var/swap set to 2048MBytes as configured

[Charles Kroeger]

on looking into dphys-swapfile I see what it wants to create is a
swap=16010MByte however when 'checking existing' keeps the configured 2048MB
instead and so does basically nothing.

How or where does one change this configured amount or remove it so 
dphys-swapfile
can create its file. If I remove the /var/swap file it is just recreated. I 
noticed
that vim can't edit this file so where is this configuration of 2048 coming 
from?

What the F! are you doing using rm -r to umount it with rm -r?

The correct sequence of actions if you want to mount point to be deleted 
after you're done with it is:


umount ~/
rmdir 

NEVER use rm -r unless you are sure you have files in a directory that 
you want to remove. rmdir is safer for removing directories. Since you 
shouldn't have files in a mount point (although nothing stops you from 
doing so - you just can't see them when the folder is used as a mount 
point), rmdir is always appropriate.



If I understand your e-mail correctly, you mounted your home directory 
for your account on a remote machine to ~/home on your laptop. If you rm 
-r'd that directory, you have lost your home directory on the remote 
machine.


I trust you have a backup, because most common file systems can't easily 
recover deleted files. If you don't have a backup, boot the remote 
machine from system rescue cd and use photorec to try to recover the 
files onto a USB stick or removable drive.

+1 yes, I know! ;^)

One thing worth adding, put these in your alias file:

alias mv='mv -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias rm='rm -i'

I know it isn't much of a help now but it will save you future grief.

Let me guess, you have 8GB of RAM?

The limit you are talking about is hard-coded into /sbin/dphys-swapfile.
In order to change it you need to create your own config.

man 8 dphys-swapfile

/var/swap IS the swap file, not a config one - you can't edit swap.

P.S. Please, read the documentation provided.

dpkg -L $package_name will show you all the files included in the
package (apart from the ones generated by maintainer scripts).
If there's not manual or info pages /usr/share/doc/$package_name
usually contains some documentation and/or examples.

Is unlimited redeal no longer possible in Aisleriot's Klondike game?

[Patrick Wiseman]

It used to be one could edit klondike.scm, set redeal to -1, and so

It worked for about an hour, now the packets don't arrive at the server
at all ...except if I reconfigure the network interface on the server,
which buys another hour. Not very automagical. :-)

I am pursuing this on the CISCO forums. I think it must be a problem
with the routing of messages. Other traffic works perfectly. UDP
delivery is not guaranteed but shouldn't at least one packet out of a
dozen arrive? I even tried to set aside 14 Mbps for DHCP using tcng
(Traffic Control Next Generation) but no luck. Something along the way
must be blocking the packets. Perhaps the router thinks the packets are
needless or part of a network attack?

Perhaps I should install one of the Free firmwares to do some
packet-capturing.

I will post back, if I get to the end.

Multimedia keys give double presses on HP ProBook laptop

[Adrian Fita]

Hi.

Using: Debian Wheezy with latest updates, hardware platform: HP ProBook
4515s.

I apreciate any sugestion you might give me.

I noticed that in my window manager, Openbox, the XF86AudioRaiseVolume,
XF86AudioLowerVolume keys generate two calls to the script that I
configured. So I started to investigate by running xev.

With xev I noticed that when pressing the multimedia keys in Openbox,
there are two KeyRelease events generated:

-
KeymapNotify event, serial 45, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys:  68  0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   8

I also started X only with an xterm window just to make sure it's not
Openbox's fault (notice the time, I couldn't have pressed the key so fast):

At this point I'm inclining to think that it's a bug in
xserver-xorg-input-evdev, but I'm not sure that this isn't some kind of
weird issue with my laptop (generated by ACPI perhaps of just the
hardware keyboard generating spurious presses).

Here is also some interesting extract from Xorg.0.log:

"aptitude why dnet-common" should be able to tell you why dnet-common
was installed.

Watch out for the dnet-common package though. DECnet requires that "the
MAC addresses of all ethernet adaptors running the procotcol be set
appropriately" (see setether(8)). If you've installed dnet-common, you
may find that this has been done for you already. ifconfig et al should
be able to put it back.

Thanks for that, I have actually been doing a bit of reading since my last post 
and
discovered the utility 'mkswap' in the package 'util-linux' I ran this on my 
swap
partitions (yes I use partitions instead of files, 'dphys-swapfile' couldn't 
help
and left a # message to that effect in /etc/fstab

I found it rather nifty that mkswap will produce a UUID number for the
swap (device) it just made. Nice to be able to paste this directly into 
/etc/fstab
that was good thinking. I also found out I can use the swap partition on my 
32bit
version of Debian on another disk.

First, I'd guess you really didn't mean "IA64" but "AMD64".  As for the
Best Buy house brand NIC, post lscpi output for the device.  The name on
the card is irrelevant.  What matters is what ethernet ASIC it has.
Linux drives are written to the ASIC interface.

I was kind of thinking the same thing...rm to umount a remote dir?
But, shouldn't it be
fusermount -u 
??
This is what I use if mounting remote dirs with sshfs, anyway.

"lspci" that is, for instance:

~$ lspci|grep -i ethernet
00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet\
Pro 100 (rev 08)

Which requires the driver "e100".

Hi,

Today I made some mistake,

I mount the remote server my home directory into local laptop.

when I tried to umount it, I justed type the rm -r remote_mount_dir

after I realize it, seems some directoy under ~/home has removed,

one is .ssh, obviously.

others I couldn't tell, like:

-bash-3.2$ firefox

-bash-3.2$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:

what's the sequence of rm-ing do?  I mean, based on which order it
removes file.
are there some history records those romove process.

Thanks,

Best regards,



What the F! are you doing using rm -r to umount it with rm -r?

The correct sequence of actions if you want to mount point to be
deleted after you're done with it is:

umount ~/
rmdir

fusermount -u

Excellent point, if he was using sshfs. I found it hard to figure out 
exactly what he was doing. :)


I suspect that file recovery is his current priority.

Re: Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Cannot find a free VT

[Hor Jiun Shyong]

Hi,


..this isn't a kernel panic?
What happens _immediately_before_ your blinking dash?


Kernel is able to boot up.





..this is relevant only if it was written between your boot and your
blinking dash.

Yes it is so.






..your Xorg log is "gnome 3 under fallback mode"? 


Yes






..first things first: Does this "fglrx" driver even support
your card?

..please post your output of: 'lspci |grep VGA '.
If that shows an ATI card, we will probably want
to see your dmesg.


..what happens if you try use the "ati" driver instead?



"fglrx" driver.   I will post the lspci result under ati driver in another 
email.  Thanks. Jiun Shyong

I checked and noticed the default runlevel under inittab is 5.  (I must 
have changed it for reason I can't remember now).I have changed it 
back to run level 2 and will try the ati driver again to see if the 
problem still persists.  Thanks.

Yesterday it's my first time trying the sshfs (I was so positively
"bored", so just try something new I read online, such a
trouble-maker),

I recovered the .ssh, just by regeneration those keys,
and I found our system administrator is a very nice person,
nearly 1 am he helped me imported some other keys regarding different
nodes (sorry I don't understand well).
from his email.
"Your directory almost restored. I’ve regenerated your vnc. All
working fine. Please try agin."

I don't know much about vnc, just googled for a while and read something basic,

 anyway, seem this fixed the following problems:
-bash-3.2$ firefox
Error: no display specified
-bash-3.2$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm:  DISPLAY is not set

I will put those alias suggested by rjc in my .bashrc file.

It's not so easy to chown of the mounted remote server, it showed me:

drwx--  1  513 users 4096 May 17 11:52 pineapple

Thanks all.
