DNS resolver issue
Hi all, Please could someone help me with what I am doing wrong ? I am running example.local domain on my interface(192.168.2.1) (bind9) The domain is resolving fine. However I want to use 1.1.1.1 public DNS server for looking up other domains (external domains) Hence I have put both servers in /etc/resolv.conf ``` nameserver 1.1.1.1 nameserver 192.168.2.1 search example.local``` However dig stops after it gets a null result from 1.1.1.1 and does not proceed to 192.168.2.1 to ask for server.example.local i.e ``` $ dig server.example.local ; <<>> DiG 9.17.21-1-Debian <<>> server.example.local ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; WARNING: .local is reserved for Multicast DNS ;; You are currently testing what happens when an mDNS query is leaked to DNS ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 11268 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 1232 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;server.example.local.

Networkmanager hell !
Hi, I recently compiled the wl driver for my BCM4331 and the driver loads fine. Networkmanager lists wifi network but does not connect ! (nm-applet shows a single dot and then keeps revolving around until it fails) However, 1. I stop Networkmanager and wpa_supplicant 2. I generate a simple config using wpa_passphrase 3. connect via wpa_supplicant -Dwext -cconfig -iwlp4s0 and it works ! I have tried to google through as much as possible to understand why wpa_supplicant does not connect under NetworkManager but works fine when run stand-alone ! I would appreciate if someone can tell me what is happening. I can send the logs if needed. Is there a way to debug networkmanager ? All that I can do by running network-manager from commandline in foreground is wpa_supplicant[28827]: wlp4s0: CTRL-EVENT-SSID-TEMP-DISABLED id=0 ssid="myssid" auth_failures=2 duration=20 reason=CONN_FAILED Before someone says that this is password issue, i am pretty sure I am typing the password correct and have confirmed it by looking into the system-connections folder for that connection. If I use another USB adapter, networkmanager is able to connecto the same wifi. Please ! I am going mad here ! There is no good info anywhere to debug wpa_supplicant working under networkmanager (OR) to dump the config generated by networkmanager -- Bhasker C V Secure Mails: http://keys.gnupg.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x4D05FEEC54E47413 Registered Linux User: #306349
Allow only selected USB
Hi all, I know it is very useful that linux auto-detects a USB device when plugged in. However I am trying to build a server which employs deny first rule. That is, I don't want linux kernel to detect any USB device even if plugged in except those listed with a Vendor/device ID in a file (perhaps stored somewhere securely in the server). Is this possible ? I tried to skim though internet but could not find any useful information except some pages reporting how to disable USB storage. Please could someone help me with some pointers ? -- Bhasker C V Secure Mails: http://keys.gnupg.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x4D05FEEC54E47413 Registered Linux User: #306349

cracking sound from left channel
Hi, I am on debian bullseye x86_64 (K5.6.0-rc6). 03:00.5 Multimedia controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Raven/Raven2/FireFlight/Renoir Audio Processor I have windows booting on another partition. After windows boots, and then I reboot into linux, the sound is fine. All clear on both channels. But once i reboot into linux or suspend/resume, I get a cracking sound along with audio on the left channel. I am not sure how to troubleshoot. Is this a known issue ? Please could someone point me in the right direction on fix or how to troubleshoot ? -- Bhasker C V Secure Mails: http://keys.gnupg.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x4D05FEEC54E47413 Registered Linux User: #306349
Re: cracking sound from left channel
Thanks Dan, The audio cracking comes up only after a suspend resume or reboot when done on its own If I boot into windows, reboot the system (without switchoff) into linux, the sound is fine. The next time i reboot into linux the issue comes back. The sound is as if the speaker paper of an old speaker is torn. The fluttering sound when there is high bass on the headphones. The sound is clear and fine when on windows and when on linux when immediately booted after windows. This to my limited knowledge feels like windows writes something to the config registers or downloads a firmware which makes sound card work fine but then when cold booted into linux, linux is missing to do something. ... may be I am wrong.

Re: cracking sound from left channel
Dear Dan, I came across a website which said to use the index parameter Hence I create this in /etc/modprobe.d/snd_amd.conf with content options snd_hda_intel power_save=1 index=1,0 The sound is infintely better now and there is no more fluttering sound and no leaking of right channel into left which had caused the distructive interference like audio.

xscreensaver does not lock
Hi, I am at a loss to understand why xscreensaver does not work anymore. I am on bullseye. I have two systems the other, however, works fine and locks. xscreensaver does not seem to have any debug facility from what I could read from the man pages. My config is attached. xscreensaver never gets activated although the daemon is running in the background. xscreensaver binary itself is installed as setuid-root. Please help ! thanks. PS: I tried to compile from source so that I can introduce debugs. This went in vain since there are too many dependencies and I was not successful in compiling. -- Bhasker C V Secure Mails: http://keys.gnupg.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x4D05FEEC54E47413 Registered Linux User: #306349 # XScreenSaver Preferences File # Written by xscreensaver-demo 5.42 for bcv on Mon Mar 30 17:56:38 2020. # https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/ timeout:0:00:30 cycle: 0:10:00 lock: True lockTimeout:0:00:00 passwdTimeout: 0:00:30 visualID: default installColormap:True verbose:False timestamp: True splash: True splashDuration: 0:00:05 demoCommand:xscreensaver-demo prefsCommand: xscreensaver-demo -prefs nice: 10 memoryLimit:0 fade: True unfade: False fadeSeconds:0:00:03 fadeTicks: 20 captureStderr: True ignoreUninstalledPrograms:False font: *-medium-r-*-140-*-m-* dpmsEnabled:False dpmsQuickOff: False dpmsStandby:2:00:00 dpmsSuspend:2:00:00 dpmsOff:4:00:00 grabDesktopImages: False grabVideoFrames:False chooseRandomImages: False imageDirectory: mode: blank selected: -1 textMode: url textLiteral:XScreenSaver textFile: textProgram:fortune textURL:https://planet.debian.org/rss20.xml programs: \ maze -root \n\ GL: superquadrics -root \n\ attraction -root\n\ blitspin -root \n\ greynetic -root \n\ helix -root \n\ hopalong -root \n\ imsmap -root\n\ - noseguy -root \n\ - pyro -root \n\ qix -root \n\ - rocks -root \n\ rorschach -root \n\ decayscreen -root \n\ flame -root \n\ halo -root \n\ slidescreen -root \n\ pedal -root \n\ bouboule -root \n\ - braid -root \n\ coral -root \n\ deco -root \n\ drift -root \n\ - fadeplot -root \n\ galaxy -root\n\ goop -root \n\ grav -root \n\ ifs -root \n\ unicode -root \n\ GL: jigsaw -root\n\ julia -root \n\ - kaleidescope -root \n\ GL: moebius -root \n\ moire -root \n\ GL: morph3d -root \n\ mountain -root \n\ munch -root \n\ penrose -root \n\ GL: pipes -

Hi, Attached is something I found. I see that cryptsetup --key-file arguement uses only first 32 bytes of the file and anything beyond is unused.

Bluetooth audio periodic disconnect
Hi all, I am on bullseye. I have tried and tested this with many headphones When on bluetooth the audio gets periodically disconnected and re-connects to audio after 5 seconds. During the time the bluetooth per-say does not get disconnected but just the audio stops and then starts again in 5 seconds. I have already set laptop-mode tools to blacklist usb power management for my usb adapter. There are no issues with bluetooth lag or connection issues. My headphones connect fine and work fine except for the intermittent disconnects. Please could someone help me fix this ? Regards Bhasker C V

But we could use an external IP to communicate ... like 1.1.1.1 or curl to some known website to confirm that internet works (which will include the system proxy settings). But you are right.

Re: xsession file
.xsession is a file which to my knowledge can only take one command at the end. The file must is not 'shelled' but 'exec'ed. So you can place commands in the file one per line or a script but the end of the file must be an exec and not a script/command that returns. Or in other words, the .xsession file can be placed in your home directory which will be souced and commands executed from the file and the X session lasts until the .xsession file completes and returns (the last command returns ) X session will also last till all the clients connected to the X session terminates. eg:- If you place this command sleep 20 then the X session will last for 20 seconds and after 20 seconds when the sleep command exits, the X window will close.

Re: new Etch install fails to boot
Hi, Sometimes older bios has a virus protection enabled in the bios itself. This does not allow anything to be written to the MBR to protect MBR viruses. I have faced this problem whereby the MBR gets cooked and the GRUB does not get written properly. Looking at your information it looks like grub is not able to proceed. Can you check your bios once again and try disabling the virus protection (re-enable it later once things are working) and re-install the grub and check ?

scp non-overwrite option
All, I was trying to scp a large directory from server to my box (server on FC and my desktop on etch). I use scp -r option to copy all the files. But when it happens that the scp fails somewhere, i cannot ask it to continue by omitting the ones it has already copied. For example in the standard cp command, i can give a '-i' option to interactively ask if the command is going to overwrite a file already present. Why is this option not present in scp ? PS: I did a workaround by setting the already copied files as r which helps by not allowing scp to overwrite the file, but just curious if there is any other proper method to do this. -- Bhasker C V Registered Linux user: #306349 (counter.li.org) The box said "Requires Windows 95, NT, or better", so I installed Linux. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: photo album or photo viewer in xfce
Hi, I use kphotoalbum. It is really good and can sort according to timeframes, can have metadata etc., The good thing about kphotoalbum is when sorting the pictures, it sorts according to timeframe and this time is not the file creation time on the filesystem but the image time recorded on the image metadata.

That is free and it can emulate multiple boxes( I am not starting a fire here on the choice of the virtual emulator but vmware is a good one to start with IMHO). Install linux and run atleast 3 instances with no two on the same network. Assign IP addresses and then try to do what all you can do with the data. VMWare gives you ease of use to add a harddisk and so you can just add another 2 hard-disks and try out DM-RAID or LVM, try occupying one lvm, move lvm data from one disk to other, recover from a lost level 5 raid etc., On the networking side, you can try pinging the linux boxes in the other networks using the linux box with 2 network cards as a router. Try changing and playing with the ip addresses using iptables , putting rules, blocking traffic etc., on the configuration sied, you can setup radius server, http server and then try to make then secure by adding some firewall rules which allow access to only one machine etc., and also setting up usernames and passwords for accessing a site in apache. But yes, make sure you are thorough with compiling kernels and making them work. Sometimes compilation and adding to grub goes like a breeze and sometimes you end up finding out what has to be put in the .config to avoid the kernel-panic while booting ! After this you can try out sysadmin things on the kernel side which may be something like installing a new kernel, trying to play with SCSI disks, etc., You can work on the booting process and try writing a /etc/rc.X init script which gets called during the bootup of the box from init scripts.

Re: How do you turn on and off a program automatcially
All, Even if we solve this by going for an alternative approach as to using a text based program, we still need a method by which we can run some curses based application For this we can use "screen" (man screen) Open a new terminal and then run the program After running this program, we can use cron to send * kill -STOP * kill -CONT change (*) with the cron timing which seuits you. This way we can start and stop the program at will.

Re: VMware?
All, I have used both VMWare and qemu with kemu accel. I find that VMWare is more easy if you want to do some quick emulation and do not want to waste time in understanding how to enable network device and other stuff. VMware is more faster too. I am not cancassing for VMWare here but i have used both and after spending some time in qemu and VMWare i settled back to vmware and was happy with it for a long time. Now i do not use either of them anymore. VMWare is a licensed commercial product and so cannot be shipped with debian. VirtualBox is equivalent to VMWare and i have used it too. It has performance almost the same as VMWare except for the support part. It does not "yet" support some of the OS. (I was not able to install Sun8 on the box and i was also not able to install some other OS like QNX - had some issues.). But OS like debian/Windows work as good as VMWAre Summary: You want a product which will work with almost all guest OS - VMWare You want a Free prodcut with no compromise except guest OS -VirtualBox You want a a product where u can do lots of experiment - QEmu On Sat, 2007-01-27 at 23:33 +0200, Mehmet Fatih Akbulut wrote: > hi all, > what about VirtualBox ? > has anyone used this before ? > any idea whether it's as good as vmware or worse than qemu ? -- Bhasker C V To feel rich count all things you have in life that money can't buy. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

openssl Vs perl encode
Hi all,
I am sure that this is more of a security question and does not
pertain to 'debian', please advice me to re-route this mail to
appropriate list if you are offended.
I am trying to encode using base64 to get data for SMTP authentication
which i am experimenting upon. I stumbled upon this issue. I am not sure
why this is happening.
Say the text to be encoded is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
$ perl
use MIME::Base64;
print encode_base64("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
aGVscC5jb20=
$ echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" | openssl base64
aGVscEBiYXNlLmNvbQo=
why are these two different ? Are'nt they supposed to be same ?

Uniq is not unique ?
Hi,
For fairly large file 100K+ lines
uniq command does not filter the repetitive lines.
Am I doing anything wrong on the usage ?
For eg:-
I had run this script in my home dir
find . -name \* -type f -exec basename {} \; | uniq
or send the output to a file and then run uniq on the file

Etch hangs when installed on vmware
All, I am not a newbie to installation. I have installed debian before in vmware machines. I downloaded Etch (4.0r0) and started the installation. The first place where the hang started is when the kernel loaded. It became very slow when it was showing the message "Checking if this processor honours the WP bit even in supervisor mode... Ok." After long delay (30-40 seconds ! )this i get this message "Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 3411.43 BogoMIPS (lpj=6822875)" After this step the kernel proceeds but is extemely slow till it reaches a position when it prints ENABLING IP-APIC IRQs Thats it! from now on the kernel inches around every now and then and it does not go till the setup screen at all ! Anyone has any idea on why this is happening. I just want some people out there with vmware also to give me opinions if they faced this issue before i can talk to the kernel guys ! -- Bhasker C V Registered Linux user: #306349 (counter.li.org) The box said "Requires Windows 95, NT, or better", so I installed Linux. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: how to exclude the packges in dist-upgrade
Hi, Thanks all, Setting '=' in deselect works. But the selection does not perculate to apt-get program. I tried echo "hal hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections This worked. This also solves the dependencies once the top level package is selected to hold then the other packages dependent are automatically put on hold !

VNC on server
Hi all [firstly: sorry for this long mail], I tried to look in the internet but could not get any help on this. I have a server which has one interface connected to the public IP directly accesible and I have local systems in my house connecting to the server through another interface (local 192.168.1.x IP). I want the local systems to access the server via vnc(also). The problem is whenever I start vnc, there is no method as-of what I could understand to make it to listen/bind on a particular IP address. It(vncserver) always listens on 0.0.0.0 which is not secure enough on the internet side. I do not want to put iptables to block input and then watch people see the port as filtered instead of closed. I tried installing the tightvnc server. There was an option called -localhost which would help me to listen only on localhost which is secure[and i can use ssh to do port forwarding] . But I found that vncserver spawns-off Xvnc which again starts listening on all interfaces for port 6000 which is the X11 port and I do not want this to happen again on the internet side of the server. [/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc already has -nolisten tcp ] I want to completely cut-off all ports on the server side except for the ssh port so that I can login to the server remotely if i want. Is there any method/vnc server which i can use which is configurable in terms of the binding interface/ip and also solves my purpose of vnc ? thanks in advance for inputs/help.

I ever had experience a little similiar with yours, my debian system crashed 3 times in 10 days, it was said to be caused by a harddisk problem, but my harddisk is quit new, and windows installed in another partition works fine. I think it might be caused by Samba and Pidgin(with heavy network tranffic and frequent harddisk writes), i'm not sure whether my guess is true. but for my new installations, i didn't install samba, and disabled those accounts with heavy traffic in pidgin, only kept accounts with normal traffic in pidgin.

purging zenmap removes nmap also. So I reinstalled nmap but still the same. I
even purged back nmap and reinstalled it, but it's

I can see these installed in the machine. Probably the location of
install was over-written by some other
program ?
May be remove and install may fix this issue ?
Purging zenmap doesn't seem to rid of these messages. Anyway,
thanks for the suggestion.

visible comments in grub
Hi all, I am trying to hide a menu item in grub but not hide it totally. The need is something like this: Suppose I change some command line parameters in one of the OS I load using grub, I would still want to see the old parameter line but inactive so that the line remains as a comment but in case of emergency I can press the character 'c' (in the initial grub prompt) and go to the command line mode to see the line enable it and boot that OS. Is this possible with grub ? thanks Bhasker C V Registered linux user #306349 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Accidental shutdown
Hi all, Is there a method to prevent accidental powerdown of a linux box ? or atleast alert ? This usually happens when there are too many machines being managed and I accidentally run 'sudo reboot' on some other system rather than the one intented.

Re: How Do I Get GRUB to See the External USB Drive?
Looks interesting. I had long before tried to setup XP on the external USB disk and left the option. The best option would be to install XP on your system drive and use USB disk to boot linux. This is very easy and you do not need grub on the internal machine and all you have to do is to boot from the USB drive choice from BIOS. Linux on USB disk worked fine for me. If you are able to install XP on the external disk please do ping me and give me some info/tips. thanks On Mon, 15 Jun 2009, Sjoerd Hardeman wrote: Now to the list instead of the poster Scarletdown schreef: I just purchased an external USB drive in hopes that I could toss an XP build on it real quick without messing with everything on the internal drives (friends wanting me to try Lord of the Rings Online which doesn't work with Cedega is one of the reasons...) ... So it's obvious that GRUB can see external USB drives. However, it is not visible to GRUB there at boot time. Is there any way to force GRUB to actually see external drives? Can you check the contents of /boot/grub/device.map? I think you need to make sure your usb device is mentioned there for it to work at boot time. If it is not there, redo update-grub and check if the usb drive is added to device.map. If so, do a grub-install and then things should work.

Salvage a dead IO USB device
Hi, I think this question has been asked many times but could not google out easily on the threads. Suppose I have a dead/rejected SCSI USB device how do I reset it so that I can use the device name again. I use crypto LVM and usually have /dev/mapper/XXX devices which are PVs. These are lvchange'd and used. If for some reason my USB device gets disconnected, lvm on the other hand has lots of problem re-scanning the PVs and pvscan/vgsdcan/lvscan simply fails sometimes. Is it possible that I can reset this state so that I can re-connect the USB device and it can take the same device name (say sda). What I do not mean by this is I do not want to recover any data from the dead device. All I want is to use/salvage the dvice names. thanks Bhasker C V Registered linux user #306349 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

cyrstalHD with debian
Hi all, Its been 2 days since I have tried to compile every flavor of mplayer (mplayer, mplayer2 with stock ffmpeg and the ffmpeg download from the ffmpeg site) but none of them are compiling cleanly. It is as-though mplayer is not being maintained for crystalHD Coming back to the default debian installation with custom kernel (3.5.3) I end up in a situation that mplayer jitters for HD video (1080p) although windows runs fine and smooth video using the crystalHD decoder. I downloaded the drivers from Broadcom site and compiled them for my system. I get this in the dmesg when the driver is loaded.

problems with bridge name
Hi all, For some reasons, I have chosen the bridge interface name as 'he' in my previous machine which is running livirt now. I am creating a new machine so that I can do live migrations using libvirt. From wheezy I am seeing that in /etc/network/interfaces, using interface name as he causes issues. Any other name works but the command ip link set dev he up fails if the interface name is he. ??? Has anybody come across this issue ? Can somebody tell me if there is anything wrong with what I am doing ? /etc/network/interfaces auto he iface he inet static address 192.29.240.53 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.29.240.1 dns-nameservers 192.29.240.1 dns-search uscablehe.net pre-up brctl addbr he pre-up brctl addif he eth0 pre-up ifconfig eth0 0 This fails

USB mounts not presistent
Hi all, In the latest wheezy install of debian (K 3.2.0-2-amd64) I am finding that unlike before, when a USB disk (especially a USB external 2.5" harddisk) is mounted, it is not persistent after a suspend resume. Has anyone faced this in wheezy or am I missing anything here ? The same is happening with the case of cryptsetup devices using USB where the dm-crypt device mapper mapping is still present but the USB device link is dead ! -- Bhasker C V Secure Mails: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x4D05FEEC54E47413 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

IRQ conflict IRQ0 network card.
Hi, I have a old PC (AMD athelon 3000+) which has an onboard network card (gige-tg3) kernel 3.5.0 debian squeeze. 03:16.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105/VT6106S [Rhine-III] (rev 86) When I do an ifconfig eth1 up (eth0 is another external card) I get this error [ 408.536851] genirq: Flags mismatch irq 0. 0080 (eth1) vs. 00015a20 (timer) I tried to google for this but could not get any good fix information for this issue. The card is not working as of now but was working fine with FreeBSD kernel. Has anyone encountered this before I have tried hpet=none (just to score off the hpet IRQ and this card IRQ clash) I have tried pci=biosirq When I load the driver these are the messages [ 803.569255] tg3.c:v3.123 (March 21, 2012) [ 803.631887] tg3 :02:00.0: eth1: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95789) rev 4101] (PCI Express) MAC address 00:30:1b:b9:d5:e3 [ 803.631895] tg3 :02:00.0: eth1: attached PHY is 5750 (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[1], EEE[0]) [ 803.631899] tg3 :02:00.0: eth1: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1] [ 803.631903] tg3 :02:00.0: eth1: dma_rwctrl[7618] dma_mask[64-bit] When I do a ifconfig up I get this message [ 823.525509] genirq: Flags mismatch irq 0. 0080 (eth1) vs. 00015a20 (timer) IF anyone has got an experience dealing with this issue can you give me inputs please ? thanks -- Bhasker C V Secure Mails: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x4D05FEEC54E47413 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Improper visuals after update
Hi, After an update I see that my dialog boxes are looking weird. I cannot describe it but it looks as-if the contrast is lost or the theme is not supported ? The boucing bars have gone missing but mouse over and clicks work. This is especially bad with nm-applet. I use mate desktop If anyone knows please can they tell me how to get this fixed ? An example image is attached at https://unsee.cc/zisapuge/ Thanks in advance Bhasker C V
