Re: apt-get dist-upgrade gave me emacs

So it was downloaded because something erroneously thought it

knew it wasn't wanted.
Succinctly put.
I suggest:
something1 = apt, d/l'ing Recommended packages too, maybe.
something2 = your positive (although perhaps unwitting...) choice.
I further venture that what you are seeing is "default" bahaviour.
I reckon there's no harm done, [that's the whole idea.]
Your journey on the upgrade path has been made all the swifter by having
those dastardly dreaded "Eight[y]MegabytesAndConstantlySwapping" .debs
readily at hand, for when you actually install them.
Can someone explain this to me?
Is it clearer now?
If not, you'll have to read up the relevant information. ("RTFM").
Maybe start with;
man aptitude ; man apt-get

Troubles with compiling Oracle 8.0.5 on Potato
We need to install Oracle 8.0.5 on Potato but compiler reports some errors due to incompatibility glibc2.0 with glibc2.1 at the source level. On Slink everything was ok. My chief said, that there is a package for RedHat, solving that kind of trouble. (compat-glibc 5.2-2.0.7.2) Is there Debian package like that? Any advice? Can I install this .rpm package on Debian potato ? Is it safe ? I think it can be made simpler... p.s. please, forward this mail to anybody, who may help, because we need _fast_ solution...

The way I understand it is that it has to do with file globbing so in order to exploit, an attacker would have to log in.

The clue is in the "TIME_WAIT" flag. The socket is in the late stage of shutting down, probably because the process that opened that socket is no longer running.

Maxtor IDE controller cards not working
Hello, I have a pc that I use as a fileserver and I have recently migrated it from RH 7.3 to Debian Woody (with some stuff from Sarge and Sid in it). I have 6 disks in the pc as follows: System/OS /dev/hda4.2 GB data/dev/hdo40 GB data/dev/hdm80 GB data/dev/hde203 GB data/dev/hdi203 GB data/dev/hdk203 GB I want to set up 3 disk RAID 5 array using mdadm and software raid. RH had no problem with it so I know it can be done. The disks that I used are recognized on the box as hde, hdi, and hdk. I can use fdisk to recognize hde, but fdisk will not recognize any other disk on the pc. As you can see from the dmesg, I am using several Maxtor controller cards (they came with the hard drives) - 1 hard drive per bus, each set as a master. During startup the BIOS gives the appropriate messages on the hard drives and the dmesg seems to suggest that the system at least can identify them. However, I cannot use 4 of the 6 disks in my pc. If I can mount and format them then I am sure I can set up the RAID array on the 3 I use for a RAID array If there is any other information that anyone needs, then I would be happy to supply it. Any assistance would be appreciated.

RE: Maxtor IDE controller cards not working
You are right on. Once I used MAKEDEV I created the three device files for my RAID array. However I cannot create the /dev/hdm and /dev/hdm device files. I know I need to use mknod, but I cannot find the major and minor numbers I need. The whacky version of Debian I used was called Libranet and does not have a /usr/src/linux/Documentation file, but I think I can use something else - just don't know what. But thanks on the MAKEDEV tip - I really appreciate it.

You are correct. Thanks. However I am now working on creating /dev/hd0 and /dev/hdm (MAKEDEV only goes so far up the alphabet). I think mknod is the answer. Greg > -Original Message- > From: Jamin W.

RE: Maxtor IDE controller cards not working
I cannot MAKEDEV hmo. I get a "/sbin/MAKEDEV:don't know how to make device "hmo" Would mknod help here ? I am at the fringes of my Linux knowledge, so I am learning as I go along. On my Sunblade 100 running Debian Woody as well as another box running Debian I get the same message. Is there a limit to devices - perhaps in the kernel ? On the box in question I am running a hacked version of Debian called "Libranet" but other than some nice GUI apps, it seems that Libranet is just Woody plus some of Sarge's most popular apps (samba, apache, etc).

RE: Maxtor IDE controller cards not working
Good catch, but the mistake was in the email. I did type MAKEDEV hdo and MAKEDEV hdm on my pc and still no joy .. I really *wish* I had just typed a typo ... I *think* that linux has a limit of 255 devices and perhaps I have reached my limit. I will try deleting some of them and see.

RE: Maxtor IDE controller cards not working
Thanks ! I had just looked at man MAKEDEV (if all else fails look at the instructions !) and noticed that MAKEDEV will only make devices from hda to hdl - which would put a serious dent in my fileserver building efforts.

Re: Can an NAS appliance be used as a regular computer?

For several years I used NETGEAR ReadyDATA 516 (RDD516) as both, desktop and NAS. It's equipped with HDMI port, so connecting monitor (up to 1920x1200) is not a problem. Main problem was 13-3220 CPU. I upgraded to i7-3770 and active cooling. So, there are NAS device capable of acting as a desktop PC but it may require some effort.

That might work for an actual terrorist, but I am a citizen and I do not think it is acceptable to have to act like a terrorist to keep my humble, everyday "secrets" private. This government does not make any effort to spy only on terrorists or foreigners, it digests everything it can and every few months we find out they collect even more than we thought. Even worse, Mr Snowden and other have shown there is little regard for that information once it is collected. Interested parties can and do tap into that information for their own private, non-terrorist-catching purposes. Maybe everyone is predisposed to make a joke of the problems that are largely beyond our control (ie government, corporations and the failure of our "democracy" to have any power to restrain them). But with debian I have powerful tools to protect myself and I would like to have some sense that those tools are built with some significant safeguards rather than everyone just assuming it is too hard to hack or such hacking could easily be detected. I hope the developers have given these issues a lot of thought. It is a sad day when security through obscurity is a main argument on a debian mailling list. Maybe I should have asked on a dev list, but that is something I don't do because DMs and DDs have more important things to do than instruct random people on details of their work. The reason I asked here is because the searches I did on debian and debian related sites didn't bring up much relevant info. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Something that is considered innocuous today might be considered differently at a later time by a less tolerant government.

Scsi emulation always seemed like a kludge to me anyway that should have only been used as the exception instead of the rule when the proper driver was broken for a particular device. I think people would be a lot less confused if the upstream guy doing the cdrtools stuff would get over it and do away with the big scary sounding message that comes up with 2.6 kernels to the effect of 'oooh you don't have scsi emulation this might not work' just because he would prefer to only support scsi.

SCSI commands are send via IDE transport using the 'ATA packet' command. There is no SCSI emulation - ATAPI drives include native SCSI command support. For this reason, sending SCSI commands to ATAPI drives is the native method of supporting ATAPI devices. Just imagine that IDE is one of many SCSI low level transport mechanisms. This is a list of some known SCSI transports: - Good old Parallel SCSI 50/68 pin (what most people call SCSI) - SCSI over fiber optics (e.g. FACL - there are others too) - SCSI over a copper variant of FCAL (used in modern servers) - SCSI over IEEE 1394 (Fire Wire) - SCSI over USB - SCSI over IDE (ATAPI) As you now see, the use of the naming convention "ATAPI-SCSI emulation" is a little bit misleading. It should rather be called: "IDE-SCSI host adapter emulation" " Sooo, hopefully I was "wrong", but I knew what I really meant(?).

Ready to join the club..
I'm a noob to Debian but I'm ready to install Debian to my current machine. (PIII, 512MB Ram, 2 HDs; 60 MB - main and 80 MB secondary). The first HD contains WinME (don't laugh) and the second will contain Debian in one partition and Windows files (mp3s, JPEGs) in the other. I've already partitioned the second HD and burned the installation image files onto CDs. My question is this, I want to use a boot loader that will load either WinME or Debian. Grub seems like the default boot loader per the installation docs I've read. During installation, will Grub be smart enough to see WinMe on the other drive and will itput the boot loader file on the main drive, the one that holds WinME? I've sorted for this topic what wasn't able to find information on my setup. Thank you in advance, Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Ready to join the club..
It worked, sort of. Thanks to all for the advice, including the kind I didn't listen to. The dual boot stet up fine. However, during the Debian install, I accidently skipped over the part to install the desktop environment, print server, etc. When all was complete I was left with a prompt. Not what I was hoping for. Is there a way to install the desktop environment with doing a whole re-install. Again, thaks to all.

Re: Ready to join the club..
Actually, I did a Google. I ran tasksel as root and loaded the files for the dektop. I answered several questions during the process. However, I still can't load the desktop. I get the following error message (EE) ef860penSerial I cannot open device /dev/input/mouse (EE) ConfiguredMouse: Cannot open input device (EE) PreInit failed for input device "Configured Mouse" Although I'm a noob, I can surmise that I've got a problem with my mouse. How to fix? The mouse is a serial mouse with 6 male pins in the connector and 6 female receptors in the back of the PC. The mouse is a MS 2 button + scroll wheel. Any help you can provide would be great. Thank you, Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Ready to join the club..
I got the mouse and desktop to work. I will post tomorrow regarding how I did it. I have a few more things to fix (wireless networking, etc), but I like what I see so far.

Re: Ready to join the club..
Okay. I played with some of the mouse settings and was able to get into X but mouse wouldn't work. I googled some and found this from Kent West; If you're in X, press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to the second virtual terminal; if you're not in X, you're fine where you are. "apt-get install gpm" Tell gpm that your mouse is on "/dev/psaux", of type "imps2", and to repeat "raw". After gpm is installed, move the mouse; you should see a white block cursor moving on the screen. If not, run "gpmconfig" and tinker with the settings some more. If you have a USB mouse, the location will be "/dev/input/mice", but you also have to have USB support working, which is another can of worms. Then reconfigure X to use the raw data repeated from gpm. Do this with the command "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86", and specify "/dev/gpmdata" as the mouse location. You'll need to restart X after this. If you started X with "startx", just switch back to X with (Ctrl-)Alt-F7, and press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill X. If X was started with a tool like kdm or gdm (you had a graphical logon screen), restart that tool with a command like "/etc/init.d/gpm restart" (substitute xdm, wdm, kdm for gdm until it works). Now your mouse should be working. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I installed it and it works, however, I have a few issues. I can't get my linksys wireless card to work (WMP54G), but I can get on the net when I run cat5 from my NIC directly to rounter. (I have both a wireless card and NIC) Also, I installed gphoto2 but the system won't recongnize my camera. When I'm at the command line and I turn on my camera, it recognizes that it's a Sony (DSC-V1), but not which model. I can't download photo's or even list the files on the camera.

Wireless Help
I'm a noob to Debian. I just installed the O/S on my PC. I'm impressed so far but I'm trying to get my wireless network card to work (Linksys WMP54G). I installed the wireless tools and downloaded "wireless assistnat" from sourceForge.net. The file is called "wlassistant_0.5.4a-2_i386.deb" and is sitting in my home directory. My question is how do I install this. From my desktop, I click on the file, which appears to be compressed, and three windows open up, two appear to be emplty. The third contains the following three files; control.tar.gz, data.tar.gz, debian-binary. When I click on the files, not much happens. How do I install this? I know binary files should be easier to install than "source packages", which are supposed to be compiled prior to installation.

I'm trying to get Debian to recognize my wireless network card, Linksys WMP54G, so I can surf the net, check email and, ultimately, shares files with my MS home network. I don't think my system knows the wireless card is there. As a side note, I also have a wired NIC card installed in my pc. When I run a line to my router I can surf the net, etc, from Debian.

bookworm: xfce4-terminal bug?
Hi there, I'm using mc in xfce4-terminal. To close mc you use F10 key. Unfortunately, the xfce4-terminal option Edit->Preferences->Advance->Disable menu shortcut key (F10 by default) Does not work. Whatever I set, F10 always activates menu. Is this a bug? Could someone fix? Is there any workaround? The following also does not help: In the Settings Editor: On the left, under "Channel", scroll down and select "xsettings" On the right, under "Property | Type | Locked | Value", look for Gtk > MenuBarAccel Double-click on the row of "MenuBarAccel" to edit this property In the "Edit Property" dialog, delete the value F10 (leave it blank) and click Save.

They can download a 4 GB dvd or iso in under 2 seconds, and pay the equivalent to about $25/month for the service. Or those were the numbers I saw several years ago.

Unfortunately I'm unable to translate to the new interface. Any suggestions? 30. Why does rdiff-backup complain about command line interface being deprecated even though I’m using the new syntax? Calling for example rdiff-backup backup loc1 server2::loc2 leads to a message WARNING: this command line interface is deprecated and will disappear, start using the new one as described with '--new --help'. You must be using a remote location in your call, as in our example. In order to make sure that the other side understands the call, rdiff-backup uses the CLI form fitting the default API version. For example, at time of writing, rdiff-backup 2.2 uses API 200 by default and hence calls rdiff-backup --server so that the CLI can be understood by rdiff-backup 2.0. If the server side is v2.2+, then the warning message will appear. Call rdiff-backup with the higher API and the message will disappear. Calling for example rdiff-backup --api-version 201 backup loc1 server2::loc2 will make sure that rdiff-backup server is being called, getting rid of the warning message. https://rdiff-backup.net/FAQ.html
busybox-syslogd remote and memory logging
Hi there, I'm using busybox-syslogd. I'm trying to make it log to remote system and to memory buffer. According to manual I should use -R 192.168.1.1 for remote logging and -C128 option for memory buffer. Unfortunately, when used together logs are only sent to remote server. On Bookworm the following works sbin/syslogd -R 192.168.1.1 -L -C128 Logs are sent to remote server and are kept in memory (for reading with logread). Unfortunately I'm unable to find proper options for Sid. Logs are sent to remote server but not stored in mem (logread gives empty output). Any suggestions? Regards Greg

Can you ping and traceroute to the DS3300 from the client? It looks like you have a connectivity problem. If you recently setup a firewall then you need to open ICMP echo-request and echo-reply. Thanks for the tip. The problem is definitely related to firewall. Regards Greg

iSCSI question
Hi there, I would like ot use Debian box as iSCSI server (target if I'm not wrong). So I have two questions: 1. If I export /dev/md0 via iSCSI would I benefit from memory buffers? 2. Is it possible to export a virtual device (like vmdk) by iSCSI? This would allow slight overbooking of the storage space. Thanks in advance for any help Greg

If I export /dev/md0 via iSCSI would I benefit from memory buffers? That's an interesting question... in all environments I ever used it, network was the bottleneck, so even if there are scenarios where memory buffers may be useful, you'd need very good connectivity to notice them, I think. I'm using ConnectX 3pro Mellanox adapters (56Gbps), it was cheaper than 10Gb Ethernet. 2. Is it possible to export a virtual device (like vmdk) by iSCSI? This would allow slight overbooking of the storage space. vmdk in particular I don't know, but I have exported overcommitted / thin LVs; for vmdk you might need to add some fancy losetup wrapper. My experience with overcommitting block storage is not purely positive, so I'd suggest to be very careful ;-) Ok, thanks

Is there any tgtd "plugin" or "driver" with virtual disk support?

Typically you redirect tee's output to /dev/null. Since the OP wanted to append, "tee -a" is a viable choice, but POSIX dd doesn't have an append option. Checking my local Debian man pages now, however, I see that Debian's dd (GNU coreutils) *does* offer an append option. dd oflag=append conv=notrunc of="$file" So I guess that's another viable choice, as long as your target system has GNU coreutils.
multipathd monitoring

RAID60 question
Hi there, I'm setting up MD-RAID0 on a top of HW-RAID6 devices (long story). I would like to confirm the following: 1. The RAID0 chunk size should be the stripe width of the underlying RAID6 volumes. 2. The RAID0 metadata should be at the end of the device (metadata ver. 1.0). 3. The stride and stripe-width of the ext4 fs should be set to the once used when creating RAID6 volumes. Thanks in advance for any help Greg

Thanks in advance for any help Greg I have a SOHO network and I implemented file sharing many years ago. Around 2019, I switched from md to ZFS. The learning curve has been non-trivial, but I am pleased with the results and expect ZFS will be a better solution going forward. Regarding data migration in general, my previous approach had been in-place using one server and minimal disks (e.g. "cheap"). An operator error on a prior migration resulted in loss of some archival backups. So, I threw money at the problem this time around -- buy another server, buy more disks, build the new server, migrate the data, make the new server primary, rebuild the old server, and make the old server secondary. And, backups before, during, and after. So, more time and money, less risk, no data loss, and rebalanced data/ maximum performance afterwards. I'm familiar with ZFS. Thanks for your suggestions but I have to stick to RAID60 (long story, like I said). I would be grateful for an answer to my original question. Regards Greg

You would kill Firefox when it no longer responds to the canonical closing procedure (i.e. when the application has become unresponsive). I would suppose that its state is saved periodically so that upon restart the user has the option to restore that state. This is my personal experience with the browser. Your supposition concerning what might or might not be heavily tested is beyond the scope of my knowledge. >> then I zap fvwm and touch >> the power button.
