Re: AMD cooling utility in debian
I don't think that is the case--at least, not in stock Debian kernels. I have an Athlon XP 1700+, and it idled at 45C until I installed athcool. Now it idles below 40C, sometimes as low as 30-32C in cooler weather. I have to agree, my Athlon 64 3200+ runs at least 5-10c cooler in Windows (with C'nQ) than in Linux. I think its because the default kernel state for powernow is 'Performance' which keeps the processor at full speed.

If you want to use the kernel policies, look at the files in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq. You can see which governors are available: $ cat scaling_available_governors ondemand userspace performance Also which governor is currently active: $ cat scaling_governor performance And of course you can change the active govenor: $ echo -n ondemand > scaling_governor $ cat scaling_governor ondemand Alternatively, you can use a userspace program like cpufreqd or powernowd to control the frequency. This allows much finer control, based on user-definable rules, battery status, a/c status, time, ... Regards, Dennis Thanks for the excellent response I will certainly give this a go.

Re: Audio CD Burning Perplexities
So why am I perplexed? I have no confidence that I know a sure way to burn a good music cd which will play on fussy cd players that have no trouble playing commercial cd's. TBH, I doubt that this is a problem with the burning process. It is more likely to be a problem with the quality/age of the laser pick up in the 'fussy' players. AFAIK Commercial CD's are 'pressed' and not burnt and are therefore far more precise than CD's made at home by burning, some CD players are, like you say, more 'fussy' than others. You seem to be using good quality media, slowing the burn speed down may reduce errors, but an upgrade to the CD player on the boat might be in order :) Regards Wackojacko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Two IDEs - KDE and Gnome
I a bit of a noob myself, but since noone else has replied I'll give it a go I had two machines, one had KDE on it, and the other had Gnome. Now, I want to put both the hard drives in one machine. I have already recompiled the kernel for the hard drive that I want to install. But I did so by temporarily disconnecting the existing hard drive. Now, I want to have both on-line, with an option to boot either of the two. I have grub installed at present. Edit the menu.lst to include options for both kernels. Use the man pages to help on this. You just need to tell grub to boot from a different 'root=' using hd1 instead of hd0. You could try reinstalling Grub (grub-install I think) which will probably do all the hard work for you. It did for me with different installs (32 and 64 bit) on separate partitions. my other question is how to mount various drives (root, home, usr etc...) Because when booting from one hdd, i would need only the home partition of the other hdd. Any suggestions how to do this.. edit your /etc/fstab/ as root (or use su/sudo) with you favourite text editor. Insert an extra line for /dev/hdXY where X is the letter of the 'other' HDD and Y is the partition number for home on the other HDD. Use a mount point like /otherhome but the rest of the details can be the same as your /home information. Save and $mount /dev/hdXY. Repeat for the other install when required.

At the moment this is software controlled, Windows Media Player allows you to download and manage copy protected sources, but I am sure there are many others. The future is hardware controlled DRM with Intel leading the way http://www.digitmag.co.uk/news/index.cfm?NewsID=4915 I'm so glad I bought AMD!

The SXXscript 'starts' the script KXXscript stops it. These links are run in numerical order of the XX. This script only runs 'ifup -a', as far as I can tell. Ifup won't log which devices it upped. Furthermore, 'ifup -a' never ups my usb nets eth1 and eth2 when I ssh in, down eth1 and eth2 and then issue 'ifup -a'. However, one of them is always up when my system finishes booting. How can that be? Hmm! from man ifup '-a, --all If given to ifup, affect all interfaces marked auto. Interfaces are brought up in the order in which they are defined in /etc/network/interfaces.' man interfaces 'Lines beginning with the word "auto" are used to identify the physical interfaces to be brought up when ifup is run with the -a option. (This option is used by the system boot scripts.) Physical interface names should follow the word "auto" on the same line. There can be multiple "auto" stanzas. ifup brings the named interfaces up in the order listed. Lines beginning with "allow-" are used to identify interfaces that should be brought up automatically by various subsytems. This may be done using a command such as "ifup --allow=hotplug eth0 eth1", which will only bring up eth0 or eth1 if it is listed in an "allow-hotplug" line. Note that "allow-auto" and "auto" are synonyms.' So ifup -a will only bring up all the interfaces marked 'auto' as you have discovered. allow-hotplug passes the task of bringing up of the interface to udev (as this now incorporates hotplug) so /etc/init.d/udev is the script that starts the deamon. As to why this doesn't work and the 'auto' does, its probably something to do with the udev rules used to identify the interfaces.

Re: Wired and wireless PCMCIA LAN cards: configuration problems
Ken Heard wrote: After taking to heart the two messages received in response to my plea for help (thanks pinniped and Kevin Mark) I spent several hours on the net and found some useful information. Nevertheless, I still do not have a wireless connection. First, I agree with both pinniped and Kevin Mark that gui configurators for wireless cards are not helpful. After some experimentation I found that something in either KWiFiManager or the wireless network utility in the KDE Control Centre added the two lines in the /etc/network/interfaces file "address 127.0.0.1" and "netmask 255.0.0.0" were preventing me from booting with the wired card already installed, because doing so would hang the computer when I tried to log on to my user. Once I commented out those two lines I had no trouble. Second, of the two wireless cards I tried, I found that one, the SMC2835W, comes in three versions. Version 1 works if the prism54 module is installed. However, versions 2 and 3 do not. The only way to determine the version of such cards is to run "cardctl ident". There is absolutely nothing in the packaging or the manual on the accompanying CDROM to identify the version. It so happens that I have version 3; so I am out of luck as far as that card is concerned. Anyone want to buy it? It would be nice if manufacturers came clean about their products. If your OK with non-free stuff you could try ndiswrapper with the windoze driver. Third, I still had the second card I tried, a surecom EP-9428-g\3A. I discovered that the driver for this card is the rt2500. (Is that also the chipset name?) As pinniped said, the rt2500 driver became open source about a year ago. Anybody have any idea what the problem or problems may be? Strange as it may seem, sometimes you have to just keep trying. I had similar problems before and then all of a sudden it just started to work. Google for wireless on linux and you'll see several others in the same boat. Another question: is there a Debian package which sniffs for 802.11g wireless access points and permits entry of encryption keys for those points, thereby permitting access?

It depends. IIRC 'nv' is the open source driver that comes with Xorg and 'nvidia' is the proprietary driver. Which one you use depends on what you want out of your card I suppose. Thanks Magnus, with the 'nv' all I get is basic graphics. The modules and various bits'n'pieces for the 3d acceleration and advanced elements all load and report (via the log files) as being 'ok', but each time (and I have now rebuilt the kernel with the proprietory driver pack 5 times with various options selected and deselected) I fire it up with 'nvidia' in the xorg.conf file it fails with warnings about no instance for NVIDIA and the X-server failing with a 'Caught signal 11'. Also note that there are two versions of the proprietary driver available in Debian (at least in Sid); the package names for the older one end with -legacy. On top of this there's a new version of the driver out, but it doesn't seem to have hit Sid yet AFAIU it removes support for some older cards. Yep, I was aware of that thanks I haven't gone the legacy route because this is meant to be a 'new' motherboard and revised NVIDIA chipset (NF-6100-406)... so I presumed that going 'legacy' would not be much use. Sorry I can't help you out more than this... /M Thanks for at least responding Magnus I have been asking the same questions now for days of various forums ... and folks must be getting as sick of me asking as I am of trying to get this thing to work. I have read dozens of trails about this 'Signal 11' ... but so far not one of them has thrown any light on it. (The error codes listed for the xserver are about as obscure as they could be ... at least the version I downloaded was). I must have done something really dumn... but I just can't figure this one out. I suspect it has somethign to do with the warning about there being no instance for NVIDIA at 00:1:3 (or 00:0:13 ... quite why they keep alternating is also a mystery to me). Try commenting the PCI bus line out of the xorg.conf and see if the driver can auto detect the card. Otherwise, look at lspci -v for details of the bus.

So that is my question/problem: Can I extract from the DVD its menu and edit this menu ? Thank you Gustavo I have just done exactly what you want to do with k9copy. It uses dvdauthour to create menus *if* you chose not to include the original menu. Otherwise it automatically uses the existing menus and the links to features that were not encoded don't work. From its description Package: k9copy Suggests: k3b Description: copy DVD like dvdshrink A small utility which allows the copy of DVD on Linux. The DVD video stream is compressed by the program Vamps. o Copy without menus : In this case, dvdauthor is used to create a new DVD structure. It is possible to choose the order in which the video sequences are played. o Copy with menus : As dvdauthor does not make it possible to integrate the original menus, K9Copy reproduces the original structure of the DVD. The navigation packs as well as IFO files are modified to point on the compressed MPEG stream. As for the KDE dependencies I dont think you can get round this :).

That would prevent Joe User 1 on his Windows box from sharing out a folder on Saturday evening so Jane User 2 on the Linux box could get to the pictures from the birthday party that day, unless the admin of the Linux box had already foreseen that Joe User 1 would be doing that, in which case I suspect the admin could be doing a lot better things with his prophetic gift than adminning a Linux box. But as mentioned, I don't really understand automount, so that might be an option for me to investigate. Thanks! I have had no problem mounting windows shares on my debian box.

init.d script and have rebooted, all without any change.
What exactly am I doing wrong here? Is there something I am
overlooking? Is there perhaps another rules file which overrules this
one and resets or refuses to allow a reset of the symlinks?
Thanks for any help.

See /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-cd.rules this is auto generated by
the script in /etc/udev/. I think you can change these around if you
set the $GENERATED variable to 0 (from comments in file).

Hi Wayne.
Wayne Topa, 23.08.2007 18:21:
I have an Athlon k7 box, running testing, as my gateway. Due to a new
system install, I had not upgraded in a few weeks. On the 21st I
decided that it was time and did the upgrade overnight. This morning
I rebooted the box to upgrade my sid partition and when I rebooted
testing, I had lost my my localnet connections.
Dmesg shows that the new udev package had decided to change eth0 to
eth1, for some reason. To use the localnet, I changed eth0 to eth1 in
/etc/network/interfaces, restarted networking and killed the firewall.
My localnet was back. I then rebooted and found that udev had now
changed the interface to eth3. This will be a PITA to users that don't
run their boxes 24/7.
Correction: udev stopped at eth2 NOT eth3. (I mistyped yet again) On a reboot
it came up again as eth2. So it is not as bad as I first thought.
This definitely doesn't sound like udev were working correctly. Is there a
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules file? This one should contain the
mapping of the ethernet devices based on their MAC address. Manual reordering
should be done here, the file usually never ever gets touched after initial
generation.
Yes there is. I've had problems with udev on systems that I was
trying out various interface cards (usb, pcmcia) on, so thats the first
file I checked. It is ignoring the, original, eth0 stansa that it was
not having a problem with and adding new eth interfaces.
Here it is, currently.
-
# PCI device 10ec:8139 (8139too)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVER=="?*", SYSFS{address}=="00:48:54:d1:35:1c", NAME="eth0"

Prior to this udev version if I removed all the non existant
interfaces from the /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules file,
it would work as expected. Something changed in this version as that
no longer works.
I found a fix (?) with a google search but I can't try it until I
finish downloading a new kernel. It was on an Ubuntu Forum so just in
case I'll list it here. Not Tested Yet so take it with a grain of
salt.
- Possible Fix --
Create/Edit a file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules with the following content
Code:
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:10:5a:33:44:55" NAME="eth0"
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:0c:44:55:66:77" NAME="eth1"
Just change the mac addresses to your own values from ifconfig.
Thanks for the reply!
Wayne

It looks as though udev is now detecting the card differently as the PCI
device now has a '0x' before 8139 so effectively the mapping for eth0 is
for a non existent card. I would try deleting all the eth* entries and
restart.

Others have addressed the changes from sarge to etch but as far as the two different architectures go I use apt-cacher to share common files between my amd64 partition and my i386 partition. The answer is that there are some packages that are architecture independent. These are labelled *all.deb. The architecture specific files are labelled *i386.deb and *amd64.deb respectively. A quick look at /var/cache/apt/archives on your current machine will give you an idea how many files are shared. IIRC you can use this as a source for jigdo too :).

Re: general question about jigdo, OS architectures and server load/space....
Michael Fothergill wrote: Dear Debianists, This may be a somewhat dumb question but it might have some merits so I am going to ask it. From the postings on the list I have received so far I have learned some interesting facts about jigdo, Sarge, Etch i386 and Etch AMD64. I am very grateful to everyone who responded for their time and patience. I respect this. If I understand it correctly upgrading from e.g. A Sarge DVD to Etch is with jigdo is pretty much pointless because there is so little overlap of common files between the two releases. I seem to have confirmed this myself in practice when I scanned the two DVDs of Sarge 3.1 r4 under jigdo having read in the jigdo file for Etch RC1 CD image number 1. I only found 23 or so files on both DVDs that were common to the 1200 or so files that jigdo says comprise the first CD image of Etch RC1. So I have dumped the idea of bootstrapping an Etch RC1 download with jigdo and my Sarge DVDs. It is a non starter. However, it does seem as though Etch AMD64 does share a reasonable number of files in common with Etch i386... My new question is this: If you look on the Debian installer page you see that distributions of the OS for a variety of different architectures exist: [alpha] [amd64] [arm] [hppa] [i386] [ia64] [m68k] [mips] [mipsel] [powerpc] [sparc] [s390] My question is this: Ok I'll have a stab at this :) What degree of common files would exist between all or certain sub groups of these different architectures? As per my previous response the *all.deb are architecture independent. Would there be enough in either all of them or a subset that it might make sense to make a separate downloadable common iso file image or jigdo file set that you could downnload from one common server address and then get only the extra files needed to make up the entire distribution for the each specific individual architecture from its own server site address? This all depends on what people are downloading. Over the entire package repository probably, but based on downloading the first 1 or 2 cd's, the netinstall etc. there may not be enough commonality to justify this. If so would this not save on server space allocation and download time? AFAIK, the file actually only exists in one location, the package list/template that you download tells apt/aptitude/jigdo etc where to find the package on the server. As for download time, it may save some if you are installing across multi-arc in the same network/environment but given the number of packages in a common install ( I have 334 in my apt-cacher directory and use a pretty full kde desktop environment ) its unlikely to save all that much IMO. My other question this is this. Is the reason that the number of common files to be found when comparing the Sarge 3.1 release of Debian and e.g the Etch RC1 is very low a function of the fact that huge changes have been made across the OS? Yes that's progress :) There has been a change in the C++ api (I think) so the majority of the packages have to be recompiled to match this. Or is it that the underlying contents of a lot of files is identical to those found in Etch but they have been given different names or small changes have been made to them such that they are not absolutely identical any longer? See above Is it possible that Lenny could be written in such a way as to maximise the reuse of identical files from the point of jigdo that are used in Etch in such a way as not to undermine the innovative progress and develolpment of Lenny? This is more about jigdo/cd templates than development of lenny I think. Could all the architecture releases of Lenny be designed to make maximum use of jigdo in the ways I am describing or would it be a beaurocratic nightmare or a waste of time with no benefit, or worse would it cock up and interfere with the development of Lenny? I am not a DD and don't know how difficult it would be to create the CD/DVD sets in the different ways you describe, but it may be worth investigating further.

Hi Wackojacko, this should be the answer. you and I both have java installed and I looked for the elusive /usr/bin/java with: grep /usr/bin/java /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.postinst This turned up: /var/lib/dpkg/info/gij-4.1.postinst This script creates it. cheers, Kev I tried this and still no /usr/bin/java. I've done some more digging in this directory and the sun-java5-bin.postinst also creates /usr/bin/java (among others) so it should have worked by purging/reinstalling this too. So I tried looking at the prerm scripts to see what they do and they only remove some of the links created in the postinst scripts and for some reason only the ones deleted by purging the package are recreated on reinstalling it. The solution was to update-alternatives --remove-all java (etc) and then reinstall the packages that provide java (etc). Now I just need to find what symlinks are missing so that I can reinstall :). I think this happened because I restored my /etc directory from a backup too early in the reinstallation process i.e. before all of the packages were reinstalled. Therefore when running update-alternatives for say, java, it already saw an alternative for java in /etc/alternatives and I think assumes the /usr/bin/java symlink is already there, which it wasn't, and doesn't create it.

I had a similar problem using audacity with alsa and google suggested wrapping the offending program with 'aoss' from the alsa-oss package. i.e. run 'aoss arecord' I have to use the 'Digital' slider on the Kmix input tab to control microphone volume - none of the other sliders seem to do anything. I also have to have the first capture slider on (un-muted) to get any sound at all but it makes no difference whether that slider is at the bottom or not - it does not affect the volume. I also have a record deck with a USB connection which I last used under OSS. The setup was working then and, as I remember, it was pretty straightforward to set up. Since that time there have been many Debian updates and I'm almost certainly using a later kernel and I'm now using Alsa. When I came to use it this time in conjunction with Audacity, which I was using last time, I can't get a peep out of it. I have this problem also now. Audacity will not record anything! No solution here though :) I have tried various inputs without success. The appropriate modules are loaded including snd_usb_audio.

It tries to start and then fails, saying it can't find the nvidia module, even though it's loaded. So I get a blank screen. I had this problem with the nvidia module. The problem for me is that it's not loaded automatically so when X starts up it tries to load the nvidia module then start X, but the nvidia module isn't loaded quickly enough so it fails. issuing '/etc/init.d/gdm (kdm for me) restart' should try again sucessfully as the module is now loaded. If this works add nvidia to /etc/modules so its loaded automatically on boot and is available for X when it needs it.

I have to disagree with this statement. The package firefox still exists in the apt repositories and can be installed. It is actually a transitional package that just installs iceweasel. However, upgrading firefox at the point when it was replaced by iceweasel *did not* remove firefox, it updated it to the transitional package which installed iceweasel instead. Whilst I agree the OP was a little terse I don't think they could have known simply from the output of apt that firefox was being *replaced* by iceweasel.

Thanks. > > P. S. Sorry for replying to your personal email address and not the list. It is important you power cycle the cable-modem. Exceptionally important. I followed your cable modem power cycle routine. I had to go in the network admin box in Etch and then put the DNS number for NTL in there and also click eth0 and configure it. I set it to DHCP and I activated it. It was not activated by the OS automatically. I then fired up firefox and it found the ntl broadband hookup page. I then put the PID and password in it. I added a new name for the new machine on the NTL web site. I then rebooted the machine and the cable box as NTL requires. When I rebooted the internet connection was still not working. I went in the Etch network admin box and checked on the eth0 configuration. It was activated. But I noticed that the DNS numbers had both been changed to new ones. I added the two old NTL DNS numbers in case this was part of the problem so I now had four DNS numbers in there. I then rebooted the cable modem and the new machine and now the internet connection is working. Don't ask me why. I guess if I would get another new box in the future and tried a net install on it then I would have to reboot the cable box in the absence of the old box and when the installer asks you if you want to manually configure the internet connection you would have to go in there with the DNS numbers etc and fart around repeatedly turning the cable and PC boxes on and off as many times as it took to get at the NTL hookup page and then have the PID and password ready, Then you would reboot and repeat the process until you had a successful link to the debian mirror sites Comments appreciated. Regards Michael Fothergill I use NTL cable and have a netgear router in between which handles the connection to the modem, hence no need to worry about DNS etc. I have just upgraded to a wireless router so I have my old wired router boxed at my desk.

The insistence of the big record companies on DRM simply provides him with a convenient scapegoat. He is still laughing all the way to the bank, but he is probably getting worried that certain countries might force him to fully unlock the iPod for competing online music stores and/or to license his DRM-format to the manufacturers of other portable music players.

Thanks, - GM I assume you are currently running a non 64 bit processor and are therefore using i386 version of debian. AFAIK there are no longer any amd64 kernels in i386. The kernel you have linked is for the amd64 distribution which is a completed different set of packages, the majority of which are 64 bit specific. This requires a complete reinstall from scratch, although you can keep the i386 install alongside if you wish. This is what I have done. That said the generic 386 kernel, or better the K7 kernel in the i386 distribution will give you most of the extensions the amd64 is capable of without the need to reinstall.

The only thing that can be done by Windows (but AFAIK only during installation) is to wipe the partions which then would be a stupid action by the user since Windows won't do that on its own.

AFAIK you don't need nvidia-glx if you are using the script from the nvidia site. nvidia-glx is for the module in the repository. Nevertheless, /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx causes the same problem, when used along with the nvidia proprietary installer. I do not understand this technically, only empirically from trial-and-error. Somehow, the /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx init script fiddles around with library files and links, that are needed by the "nvidia" module, as it is installed by: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run Hence, /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx on the next boot changes things in a way that won't let X start. To fix this, I did once more: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run and then: cd /etc/init.d/ sudo mv nvidia-glx XXnvidia-glx That paralyzes the /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx script and prevents it from messing up the links and files needed by the "nvidia" module as installed by NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run. I don't understand what the /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx script is supposed to accomplished, and how I can get along without it. You are mixing the two methods of installing the the nvidia module. 1. Use the script from the nvidia site and nothing else. 2. Install the nvidia module for your kernel from the repository, which will also require the nvidia-glx package that matches the module version. Either purge the nvidia-glx package and reinstall the NVIDIA script or remove the NVIDIA script and then install the modules from the repository.

It depends on if all the apps you want to run are available for amd64, how much memory your system has, and if for your application you need 64-bit executables. Note that on i386, you can install a 64-bit kernel, however IIRC, some add-on apps (e.g. Adobe's Acroread) which is 32-bit will not run with the 64-bit kernel. Better to ask on the debian-amd64 list if you are in any of these edge conditions. Most normal people wouldn't notice a difference either way. Doug. I would have to disagree with this info Doug. Athlon XP CPU's are Barton cores and are strictly 32 bit only AFAICT. Google search seems to support this. To the OP, i386 is the correct architecture, and install a i686 kernel.

[...] Obviously, I want kept back packages to be upgraded too (BTW, is there a way to find out why, specifically, those packages are kept back?). So, I tried "aptitude dist-upgrade" and it wants to install 695 new packages, including the ones I do not currently have or want (e.g evolution, gnome (I use KDE), exim, etc). [...] Am I missing something? How do I upgrade only the packages that I currently have, without installing an obscene amount of new and unneeded/unwanted packages? This is from man aptitude: "upgrade "Upgrades installed packages to their most recent version. Installed packages will not be removed unless they are unused...; packages which are not currently installed will not be installed... "dist-upgrade "Upgrades installed packages to their most recent version, removing or installing packages as necessary..." In other words, upgrade will hold back any package whose new version has new dependencies or requires the removal of any package. Dist-upgrade will install any new dependencies and remove any newly conflicting packages (it automatically decides which packages must go when there is a conflict, or you can control this by marking packages in various ways). So I'm afraid what you're asking is not possible: the packages you have installed must have their new dependencies if they are to be upgraded. And a major change like the one from stable to testing will usually bring in a lot of new dependencies. It does seem odd that gnome is to be installed; do you mean the whole of gnome, desktop environment and all? It must be that something you have installed now needs at least parts of gnome. To examine the situation in more detail, try running aptitude with --show-deps. I use Kpackage (a front-end for apt-get, so don't mix it with aptitude for actually installing packages) because it's easy to browse package descriptions and dependencies, and manually select multiple packages for installation and removal. I run testing and keep up-to-date by running update; upgrade; if any packages are kept back I mark them for upgrade and carefully check what will be changed, and only proceed if none of that bothers me (e.g., no packages I want to use are to be removed). Good luck, John Like John I use Kpackage, but when i have looked at aptitude it is originally setup to automatically install *recomended* packages by default. You can switch this off in the UI, so i imageine it can be configured via the CLI as well. Try the 'man' page or fire up the UI and C-T->Options->Dependency Handling->Automatically install recommends.
