how to deliver local mail to /var/mail ?
hi, I have configured maildrop to filter message as suggested by http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch06.en.html The problem is, local mail also delivered to the Maildir folder, there is no mail left under /var/mail for thunderbird to read. It is said that thunderbird already support Maildir, but after test it looks like thunderbird doesn't read maildir like mutt does, at least it can not open mails delivered by maildrop. It would be better let maildrop(or exim4) deliver mail to /var/mail/$username in mbox format. I am thinking there might be two ways to do it: 1) config exim4 not to invoke maildrop. Does exim4 deliver local mail to /var/mail by default? 2) config maildrop deliver local mail to /var/mail in mbox format while deliver the rest of mails still in Maildir format. Is it possible and how to do it? -- Chen Wei -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Either edit /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/800_exim4-config_maildrop, comment out the line contains check_local_user, or rename this file to 950_exim4-config_maildrop so its precedence lower than 900_exim4-config_local_user, or, add prefix “real-” to the user@localhost so it will bypass maildrop.

Boot from live debian, fdisk, mkfs, and rsync are pretty straight forward, but the grub part is tricky, perhaps because I never really understand how grub works. I end up let the debian installer do it. 1) install a minimum wheezy 2) boot into live debian 3) copy the /etc/fstab and grub.cfg out, edit uuid if needed 4) rsync -av --delete OLD_Installation/ NEW_Installation/ 5) copy fstab and grub.cfg back 6) run update-grub, (it might not necessary, but seems harmless) -- Chen Wei -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: mouse pointer disappeared after upgrading to 6.0.1 in GNOME
hi Steven, since the VirtualBox 3.2 cannot built its module on 2.6.38 source, follow the instruction in "Debian Linux Kernel Handbook", I rebuild the 2.6.34.7 kernel.

Re: mouse pointer disappeared after upgrading to 6.0.1 in GNOME
Steven's source.list is okay, he is not the VirtualBox user, I am. LOL: VirtualBox does remind me to upgrade to 4.x series every time it starts, but 3.2 works fine so far. And 4.x package appears about 10M larger, thus I am stick with 3.2. IMHO, use a self build kernel is fine, the rest of Debian is still from stable branch, besides, we can switch back to Debian official kernel any time. The Debian kernel building routing is very smart, it build several .deb package which can be installed via dpkg -i *.deb. It even change the boot menu automatically, for example, there are both 2.6.34.7 and 2.6.32-5 on my boot menu now, so if I want go back to pure Debian 6.01, just select 2.6.32-5, however, I then must try guess the mouse pointer location. -- Chen Wei On 03/22/2011 12:25 PM, Steven Sciame wrote: > That is possible.

about mutt-patch sidebar indent level
Dear list: In mutt-patch's sidebar(debian squeeze), some folders are indented, they look like: comp.lang.python Debian-User Inbox Spam those folders are at same level, there are no sub folders, I notice all indented folder have "." in their name, if I add "." to those un-indented folder, they will be indented as well. For every "." in folder name, the folder is indented one character to the right. how to make those folder indent to same level? -- Chen Wei -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

mua and mail service provider statistics
hi list,
as a first time debian-user subscriber, I feel been buried alive by
incoming emails, though I heard there are some monster maillists,
linux kernel maillist for example, are carrying even heavier traffic.
Wondering how to manage so many emails, out of curiosity, I did a
statistics on choice of mail client and email service, based on 1494
messages received since subscribed to this list. Here is what I found.

I learned the lesson when try to serve NFS over home network, with the shared NFS directory on an external USB hard disk. After running for several hours, sometimes several days if lucky, that USB disk becomes unresponsive. Thanks to journaling ext3 filesystem, no data was lost. couldn't figure out why the USB disk malfunction, since it runs flawlessly if only use for brief peroid of time. -- Chen Wei -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

As an average home user, I don't benchmark filesystems, my experience is purly subjective. Still, I would appreciate a filesystem that can: 1) journaling. the long ext2 fsck is too painful. 2) performs well on a lots of small files, maildir and extrace linux kernel source for example. 3) performs well on large files, to me, large means several G, since XFS appears define large in astronomical number, it should be happy with my files. 4) online defragment. there are files under thunderbird and firefox profile directory keep been modified. I expect better web browsing responsiveness if those files been defrag regularly. I am using ext4 now, works fine so far, it will be great if ext4 have online defragment, though, I shall put xfs on the list when need install an OS or get a new hard disk next time. -- Chen Wei -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

enable i915 rc6 save 7 watt on kernel 3.2
Hi List, Since recently upgraded to kernel 3.2, the core temperature on my laptop seems raised few degrees. An external power meter shows big difference in power consumption. The power usage raised from 15w on kernel 2.6.39, to 22w on kernel 3.2.1. A bit of google later, it was suggested that enable i915_enable_rc6 parameter may improves power consumption as well as graphic performance. And indeed it is, after put “i915.i915_enable_rc6=1” in grub config, the overall power usage drops to 15w, while the glxgears score increases from 39xxFPS to 47xxFPS. The system: i5-2410M, using integrated HD3000 GPU Debian Squeeze with backports xorg -- Chen Wei -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Power consumption is fluctuate between 14 to 15W. With pcie_aspm=force, the reading appears lower by less than 1W, it could be an equipment error. So the difference is small, if any, with the pcie_aspm tweak.

I am simply curious why graphic test suits are all so big. Although T520 is overkill for google earth(constant blinking, but it is another story), the most graphic demanding apps I use, I have a strong feeling that higher graphic score on the same hardware could means more efficient way of using GPU, therefore possible lower power usage when running non graphical intense apps, hence longer battery life. My feeling, well, is just feeling, since the power meter shows regardless the glxgears score, the typical desktop usage use almost same amount of power under different kernel. Anyway, it is always good to know that more juice can be squeezed out of the same hardware, isn't it? -- Chen Wei -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I don't know if there are better method, but I happen to have an inexpensive external power meter, it looks like a plug with a small LCD screen, capable of measure from few watt to 2000watt, display voltage, power factor, and calculate overall power usage, so it is quite handy for home use.

how about instead of one script, running 8 scripts from cron, each has

#script no.1

It is the best guess by looking into header field such as 'X-Gmane-NNTP-Posting-Host', 'Injection-Info', and 'NNTP-Posting-Host'. so there were 3327 messages came from gmane. > Do you have any figure for point of origin ie. of gmane, google groups > and (you don't appear to have covered New Generation and Bob's > favourite, Nabble) what percentage used the gateway's web interface? assuming User-Agent string 'Loom' is the gmane web interface, there are around 16%(14 of 85) gmane users post via web. However, only 2.5% messages(82 of 3327) from gmane were posted via web. The news/mail user count is not always accurate because user sometimes switched to other ways of posting, so does the mua count. There were only 3 messages with 'X-Nabble-From' header, they must from Nabble.

Since it use hardlinks to save space and also because I use hardlinks to remove duplicated files, I am little bit concerned. I did a test on reading a directory with a lot of small files. There isn't any noticable difference between read one copy of that dir and one thousand hardlinked copies of it.
