Please let me know if anyone needs any further information.

A quality sysadmin would have checked and ironed out OS compatibility
issues before ever ordering the hardware. Keep that for future
reference. You'll need to do that legwork now:

Check Dell's website for Debian Stable and Testing support.

That's not 100% reliable.

Also check
the minimum Linux kernel version required to support the H series RAID
cards and Broadcom 5720/5800 series embedded NICs. I don't keep up
with
Dell, but this appears to be relatively new hardware: PCIe 3.0,
embedded

10GbE NICs, hot swap PCIe SSD, etc. 2.6.32 was released Dec 2009,
almost 3 years ago. I'm guessing the latest 2.6.32-5 Squeeze kernel
doesn't include the necessary drivers and/or firmware blobs for these
devices.

Right.

I run R510s with PERC H700 and as a minimum an instaalation with non-
free firmware is needed. I used this image:

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/6.0.0/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-6.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso

I know that R510 does not compare to R720. But even on R510 I have
problems with outdated drivers.

- the current OMSA 7 makes problems wit the old 2.6.32 kernel
- megaraid_sas (the kernel driver for the PERC) should be upgraded to
a newer version
- inserting a second PCIe Intel GB NIC with dual head causes heavy
packet loss on the first Intel NIC, this is AFAIK a PCIe kernel
problem solved in newer versions

In the future, do your homework *before* you buy, saving yourself from
these headaches.

it seems you haven't installed the 'resolvconf'. you need to install
it first by using root privileges or using 'sudo' .

Sorry to forget to mention that my /etc/fstab reads as :
/dev/cd0 /media/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
Then I issued :
#mount /dev/cd0 /media/cdom
But I cannot read the CD .

The resolvconf package is very useful when you have several programs 
changing resolv.conf, but not really necessary in a simple setup with 
static DNS configuration.

Is it wise to try to install older versions of Debian as I have various 
versions of centos , say centos 5.2 , 5.6 , 6.0 , and 6.2 without similar

Does the same happen with a different MUA (say, evolution or mutt)? If
so, it's an issue with your IMAP server (you didn't say if that's
self-hosted or provided by someone else). For example, the indexes might
be read-only or perhaps you have two clients fighting over the idea of
which messages are read etc.

More safe are blacklists.

I owned and still own white listed gear that doesn't work. Sometimes a
white list ignores that some revisions of hardware can't be used with
Linux and sometimes they ignore that the hardware only does work for
special cases, e.g. a special Linux version is needed or not all options
can be used or using this hardware with Linux does work for the task
it's made for, but it has got negative impact to other tasks.

A note regarding to "tasks". We can own a Swiss Army knife and we can
glue the knife to a washing machine, that would add functionality to the
pocketknife, but also hinder the usage of the original functionality.

PS: And full ACK that sometimes hardware is supported by outdated
drivers, e.g. some ATI drivers need outdated versions of X. New ATI
drivers won't support old cards anymore. And "OLD" is very relative. So
you can use those cards for all tasks, you "SIMPLY" need to maintain
your Linux working with outdated versions of X, possible, but not really

You are trying to install a RedHat Enterprise Linux package on Debian. This 
can be a problem if the user numbers that Debian and Redhat either conflict or 
if RedHat makes different assumptions about user numbers than Debian does.  Can 
you get a Debian package for ecce?

According to the Debian package list, the answer is no.  (I searched on all 
versions.)

Try rebuilding/repairing your INBOX and/or other effected folders. Right-click
on the folder in the left-hand pane, select 'Properties' and then "Repair
Folder".  This can happen when Thunderbird's cache gets out-of-sync from the
server and it cannot figure out how to get back in sync on it's own. I used to
get this quite a lot when using IMAP to access an Exchange mailbox (Exchange is
a notoriously poor IMAP server)

Apologize! I didn't notice ./install_ecce.6.4.rehl5-gcc4.1.2-m64.csh and
Fedora does use RPM.

The fact that that the "installer" is a csh script is a bad sign (as is
the fact that there is an "installer" at all).  If possible get the bare
rpm package and install it with alien.  I'd suggest building from source
but I suspect that the build system is a nightmare (and probably also a
csh script, but I repeat myself).

You are trying to install a RedHat Enterprise Linux package on Debian. This 
can be a problem if the user numbers that Debian and Redhat either conflict or 
if RedHat makes different assumptions about user numbers than Debian does.  Can 
you get a Debian package for ecce?





Try downloading ecce-v6.4-src.tar.bz2 from the ecce site and installing 
that. There is an ecce forum also.

What does :

$ file ./java

report ?

If ./java is a script and contains a she-bang which references a
non-existent shell, this would be expected. For example if it
contained:
#!/bin/bash
and you /bin/bash did not exist

Reason to NOT install from online repositories

2012-10-15 Thread Richard Owlett

Recently someone was chided for attempting installation from 
a CD.


Not all of us have convenient access to a high speed 
internet connection.


I can have limited access to "high" speed access by carrying 
one of my laptops to the local library. I don't find 
downloading more than a live-CD feasible due to bandwidth 
limits they set to provide maximum usage for maximum number 
of users.


Even the live-CD doesn't give me a functioning system as it 
does not include a dialer for an analog modem. I solved 
_*MY*_ problem by purchasing the 8 DVD set of install disks.

I don't believe they were chided, simply reminded that the best way to
get packages is usually direct from the repositories.

As you note, there are use-cases for the CDs, which is why they exist.
For example, I have installed debian on an air-gapped system (that is, a
server which is not and will never be connected to the internet). My
only option in that case was to download DVDs and use them.

I must agree.
There can be many barriers to installing or upgrading from on line sources.
I will solve *my* own situation later by using the DVD images I have even if 
slightly behind.  I want stable squeeze anyway.

That's putting it strong;  I asked why they wanted to use the CD/DVD
method rather than online repos out of curiosity.  The answer came back -
lack of connectivity.  A perfectly valid reason.

You must be using a totally free dialup service for daily internet
access.  In many/most US locales dial is as expensive, if not more
expensive, than aDSL or cable, though I'm not familiar with the
providers and plans in Springfield.  You mention "carrying" your laptop
to the local library, not "driving".  Can we assume you're walking to
the library, live  in the city limits, not on a farm or other rural
location outside of Springfield?

How far are you from the MSU campus?  If it's not a prohibitive
distance, it might be worth explaining your situation to someone in the
MSU telecommunications department and see if you can get a guest access
account.  Then stop by every couple of weeks to download your Debian and
other updates, and anything "big" you need, etc.  I'd assume there won't
be any bandwidth limits.

Also, it's possible they might be running a local non-public Debian
mirror in the Engineering or Computer Science departments.  (Many
universities and colleges host private mirrors of popular open source
software repos to conserve bandwidth on their public pipe)  If so you
might get permission to pull directly from such mirrors.

Just some suggestions from a fellow Missourian, though a couple hundred
miles to the North.

According to the execve(2) manpage, it means

 The file filename or a script  or ELF interpreter does not exist,

I just had a similar problem and solved it using the solution from

(installing the package ia32-libs)

In many it is much cheaper (here, for example).  In some broadband is

It's paid service and is less than the teaser rates quoted 
by either ATT or the locale cable outfit. To even get the 
"teaser rate" from either source I'd have to bundle in a 
bunch of unwanted services. Effectively, the last time I did 
a head to head comparison, I was saving more than $40 a 
month. Besides this way way I can drive a couple of miles 
and see the *owner* of my ISP. I get very good customer 
service. Besides any DSL only became available in this area 
of the city a few years ago. I'm literally on the "wrong 
side of the tracks". This area was built up ~110-120 years 
ago for laborers in the local rail yard. Though well within 
the city limits, I'm not within walking distance of a library.

Depending on which route, I might drive past MSU on way to 
library. But though I don't doubt it meets ADA requirements, 
I'd not consider that campus to be handicapped friendly. 
Once I get my system(s) set up the way I want, using the 
library will likely be adequate.
