Hi Dan, I use Mhwaveedit when I need a lightweight waveform viewer/player. For playing with other software, Mhwaveedit has a pipe-through-program option. You can also look here for something better. http://linux-sound.org/one-page.html Most audio editors for Linux "play with other software" via JACK, MIDI, OSC, LADSPA and/or LV2. Giving an example of what you want to do would help.

RAID b/w GPT and NON GPT partition.
Dear All, i have 2 drives installed way back in 2013 /dev/sda and /dev/sdb I have been using RAID1 b/w two 1.5 TB drives which worked great with fdisk. now one of the drive is failed and there is no more 1.5 TB available in the market. the least available drive is 2TB. Which means "fdisk 2TB issue". Faulty drive is (/dev/sdb) now i want to replace the dead drive with the new 2TB drive that will definitely be a GPT. in old times i could use sfdisk command to copy partition table now since the new drive is 2TB my question is can i use sfdisk on 2TB drive.? i think this will not work since old drive is non GPT which means copying non GPT partition to a drive supports only GPT will not work. so this is the point where i am confuse and need your help. - i want to copy my old drive (1.5TB) partition table (non GPT) to new 2TB partition table (GPT)? - and then further want to replace the bad drive from mdadam? can you guys please guide me. step by step Thanks, Yousuf

Just to be sure: MBR and GPT are on-disk layouts, there is no such thing as a non-GPT drive. You can use MBR partitioning on a drive larger than 2TiB (though not recommended for obvious reasons), and you can use GPT partitioning on a small drive as well. Even my 128GB ssd uses GPT partitioning. If you really want to use GPT partitioning, you can either use sfdisk to duplicate the partition table and then use any gpt-aware partitioner to convert the layout to GPT, or you can use gdisk which can do both. > - i want to copy my old drive (1.5TB) partition table (non GPT) to new > 2TB partition table (GPT)? # gdisk /dev/sdOLD menu options x, u to replicate (GPT) partition table to /dev/sdNEW # gdisk /dev/sdNEW review/resize/add partitions where needed > - and then further want to replace the bad drive from mdadam? NOTE: completely untested, please wait for others to correct me: # mdadm --add /dev/mdX $new_partition If the failed drive is already removed from the array, you can stop here. It should rebuild automatically. But if your drive is still usable but on its way out (e.g. it just started creating bad sectors), it may be safer to temporarily grow the array: # mdadm --grow --raid-devices=3 /dev/mdX This should start a resync from your old disk to the new. Let it complete, and then remove the old disk: # mdadm /dev/mdX --fail $old_partition --remove $old_partition # mdadm --grow --raid-devices=2 /dev/mdX Regards, Arno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Now I can't find it any more. But now it seems to work. I tried what suggested by some listers, to use the Debian installation CD to see if my WiFi usb device was detected and could reach the net, but the network configuration failed, maybe also because I didn't know what DHCP hostname to put there. But then I tried again to navigate in the web and... it worked! Short before I had plugged the device into another pc, maybe this? Or that yesterday late evening, before going to bed, I full-upgraded my Debian Sid? Or maybe it was already working yesterday early evening, after last editing /etc/network/interfaces, when I noticed that www.google.com could open up but thought it still didn't work because any other web page couldn't open and so google page was in some way left in buffer memory? I'm reporting what I essentially did. I don't have Gnome on this machine, so all the tools I used were command-line. I'll be studying for a better fine tuning wifi-command-line set. I did: # aptitude install wireless-tools wpasupplicant and, to have my TL-WN725N USB-WiFi adapter work, # aptitude install firmware-realtek ; then, # ip a # iwconfig # ip link set wlan0 up # iwlist scan , then put in /etc/network/interfaces the following stuff: # my wifi device auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-ssid my-ssid wpa-psk my-password , then rebooted.

Going by the PCI ID you posted earlier (from lspci output), and looking that ID up in the LKDDB, it appears that the kernel module for the graphics component of this chip is i915.ko: https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/DRM_I915.html On my system (tracking current testing), I have: $ find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name i915.ko /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko So: yes, Debian has a driver for this integrated graphics controller.

This is doubly inconclusive. First, the kernel bundles in the same module support for several similar but not identical controllers. In other words, the i915.ko file you are observing may very well be too old for this particular instance of an i915-style video controller. To know for sure, see if the alias shown by `modinfo i915` match the PCI IDs of the controller. Second, the kernel module is not enough of a driver, except for just a high resolution text console.

I'm not familiar with the output format of modinfo, but on my system the
PCI ID is present, albeit in somewhat obfuscated-looking form
('pci:v8086d0116' rather than without the zero-padding and with
some separator other than just the single letter).

I'll admit that didn't occur to me - but is there really any video
hardware out there which has an open kernel driver and no open X driver?

I missed noticing the "Debian 6" part of the question; my apologies.
Yes, something that old is not going to have a driver for this, although
current testing probably would.

It does, but only if a driver is actually in use loaded. Since it
doesn't show one for yours, that means that one is not in fact in use
for that device. This is reasonable if the system (read mainly: kernel)
you're running is too old to have support included.
For comparison, on my system with a different graphics device, I get:
$ lspci -k | grep VGA -A 2

I'm afraid X driver compatibility is one area where I've never learned
more than the superficial details. It looks to me as if X thinks the
available intel_drv.so is compatible with your hardware, but for all I
know I could be wrong about that.
I do think it looks a little odd that (based on that log file) you're
apparently using Intel video drivers but the NVIDIA GLX stack, but I
can't swear that that's not going to be compatible.

If you look into the details, that Web page indicates that support is
present from kernel 2.6.36 onwards. That would seem to imply that it is
not present earlier. What kernel version are you running? ('uname -r'
would be the command.)

I cannot help you with a comprehensive explanation, but at least I discovered similar timeouts while fiddling around with my new NFSv4+Kerberos setup.

mgag200: Anyone seen this off-by-N error before?
Hi all, I'm currently picking fights with this Dell PowerEdge R320 server that we're setting up for an energy management project. I found the machine would successfully install Debian Jessie i386, but then would immediately kernel panic on the first boot. We use the i386 version because the SCADA software we use requires it. After trying a few things to no avail, I broke down and installed the AMD64 version, figuring I'll use either LXC or KVM to run a i386 guest. That worked, and the machine successfully boots. HOWEVER, I was confronted by this: http://www.longlandclan.yi.org/~stuartl/debian-user/2015/06/30-mgag200/x.png The console is similarly affected: http://www.longlandclan.yi.org/~stuartl/debian-user/2015/06/30-mgag200/console-fb.png It seems there's an off-by-N error in the framebuffer, which makes the console pretty much unreadable. I tried downloading this kernel package: https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/linux-image-4.0.0-2-amd64 and installing that, I get the same problem (and lxc doesn't work). So I'm back on the stock Jessie kernel 3.16.7-ckt11-1 (linux-image-amd64_3.16+63_amd64.deb), and I've gotten by creating /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-mgag200.conf: > blacklist mgag200 That gets things working, although I notice there's now no acceleration in X, we can live with that as its only purpose is to allow interaction with virt-manager (for KVM).

Mail and POP3
This system runs debian squeeze for now and I want to make it use our internet provider's POP3 mail server and send out-bound mail through the provider's smtp server. In the past, I have used similar systems connected to the internet so I simply configured exim4 accordingly and things worked fine. I found an example for debian-etch which used fetchmail. Is that still the case for squeeze and newer debian releases? Do I need to leave exim4 alone as it appears that fetchmail does all the moving? Thank you very much.

I've done this before with numerous distributions in the past. Basically you set up fetchmail to do the mail collection, and I think by default it tries to use the local delivery agents to deliver mail to local users. So you set it up as a daemon to collect mail for a number of users. Your SMTP server then looks after local delivery and for delivery to a smarthost outside your network (your ISP). I don't recall what the exact configuration parameters are for fetchmail, it's been a while since I've used it, but there is one that controls who email from a particular account gets delivered to. Once you set that, and assuming your SMTP server (exim4 in your case) is set up correctly, things should JustWork™. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
