bad performance on playing video
I use Xine to play VCD, DVD and other video files, the audio performance is good, but the performance is awful, lots of lag. My CPU is PIII 1G, 764Mb ram, and AGP card with 4Mb ram. So I don't think my hardware is not powerful enough to play video. I set up MTRR support. What else should I do to increase the video performance?

Debian Etch and time zone problem
Hi! How can i make Debian etch use localtime zone as Etch's system time? I've a dual boot system with winxp. My bios uses local time zone as hardware clock. winxp also uses that. But Etch uses UTC. I want Etch to recognize Local time zone. I don't want to use UTC. How can i prevent Etch from using UTC(prevent UTC time from loading)?

The problem is solved. I didn't modify the time in gnome clock after editing /etc/default/rcS . Thought it would do it automatically. Silly me! After all that and reboot it shows the correct time.

Iceweasel window control button and beryl problem
Hi! I'm having strange problem with Iceweasel and beryl. I've installed beryl with Gnome. When I run iceweasel browser and make the mouse pointer wait over any window control button(miniminze, maximize or close button) the button doesn't glow properly. I see a box with distorted images instead of showing the glow. However this doesn't happen with other windows. I mean i can open any other application window and those buttons glow fine. it happens only when i'm using iceweasel. Is it possible to help me find solution to this problem?

Re: How to install Debian 6 sparc with RAID 1 at installation
First of all, I am not very experienced and use the i686 architecture, but what I did might help: I've put a variety of partitions on the 2 disks I use for the purpose of dual booting. One holds the filesystems etc. for the other OS, intended for legacy applications that I still use... may use. I've made the first partition of Debian 6 as single partition of 512MB, to be mounted as /boot. One of the next primary partitions is set up exactly the same on both disks, to be used as sRAID devices. After partitioning, I've set up software RAID using those 2 partitions. mdadm is used for management, and it simply works; increased read speeds, no errors. The only thing one might be slightly worried about is gparted not recognising the filesystems, but e2fsck and similar tools appear to work as usual.

Re: Re: grub-install fails an RAID1
Regardless of the possibility to use the space, I ALWAYS leave the first cylinder of a disk unused (aligning partitions to cylinder boundaries). I find the idea of using the first cylinder for "optimal" space usage a bit ridiculous, to be honest. With thousands of cylinders on a disk, if not more, a single unused cylinder doesn't matter all that much (we're talking about 8032.5 Kilobytes here). And keeping it (and maybe the last one) free means these problems simply don't turn up at all, with over 7MBytes available for the bootloader.

Re: XFCE--can't mount USB devices
(Suggestion) check the mount options in /etc/fstab.

One of both has to be there to be able to mount and unmount the filesystem without root privileges.

rkhunter database update - which method is recommended?
Hello all, a little while ago, I executed the 'rkhunter' hunter script as part of a random check. It gave me a warning about changed files, but as I checked synaptic's history, I found out that those files are part of packages that were updated. My intention is to find out how to build a trigger, either for apt or for dpkg, to update the rkhunter database after each package upgrade. Maybe it'd be smart to run rkhunter before updates as well, to catch the unauthorized changes that might be there. My question: should I focus on apt, or rather on dpkg? As far as I'm aware, both synaptic and aptitude rely on apt, but I feel that it's wise to handle any security-related issues as low-level as possible. Does anyone have other suggestions to consider?

Re: Re: How to install Debian 6 sparc with RAID 1 at installation
I was happy to have a MEPIS Live CD around with ext4 support. I've used it to move data about and pre-partition/pre-format the partitions, except for the ones used for sRAID. I don't know if MEPIS supports the architecture you're using, but maybe Knoppix would be more suitable. Knoppix has it's Debian base in common with MEPIS. Also, when partitioning with a GUI tool, keep 8 MiB free space before the first partition and appropriate alignment keeping the first cylinder free is guaranteed as long as the free space is honoured. It might get you to end up with a second cylinder unused at the beginning, but that shouldn't be a problem anyhow. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Any ideas? Try the mdadm tool to see if there's something wrong with the array or it's devices. The options you may find useful to begin with, IMHO, would be: `mdadm --query` To find out if a device is an array or part of one. `mdadm --examine` Will query the device that is part of an array (not the array itself) and print out the metadata stored. That should give you some more information about the partitions. `mdadm --detail` Prints out information about array devices (the array as a whole). The tool has more functionality that could help you finding out what's going on.

Debian 6 Squeeze bug report: application or kernel bug?
I am not sure where to file this bug report, because it's a kerneloops caused by a bug. This is what happened: 1. USB2 hard disk disconnected and immediately reconnected, which could be caused by a known bug in certain EHCI controller chips 2. An X process probably got terminated and restarted 3. Checking /etc/mtab, I noticed the two partitions on the old device path are still registered as mounted 4. An attempt to unmount either one of them fails, at which point another stack trace is being printed - so yet another severe (unhandled) error or exception occurred 5. I notice that several processes are in a blocked state 6. The blocked processes prevent a normal shutdown from the desktop 7. Terminating the blocked processes fails (using 'kill -KILL #PID' and 'kill -TERM #PID'), in any possible way this command didn't work 8. As a last resort, I switched to a basic terminal trying to shutdown using 'init 6', which failed either 9.

Thanks, I wasn't completely sure. And my apologies for taking the non-existant "non-html"-character of gmail for granted. Should be solved now.

Must be said though, Xfce does have a fair share of it's own beauty while being very compact. Also my apologies for even forgetting to put my name at the bottom.

Re: Re: HD Data Recovery
Silently seconded. But I guess it's human nature to simply not listen until it turns out that was a wrong choice. And plenty never learn afterwards either. Anyway, on topic: Most tools allow you to tell the Linux kernel the amount of sectors, heads and cylinders the disk has. It should simply be on the label, and some additional information, such as the use of LBA48, which is the case for most newer disks. If you're too lazy to find a proper backup program etc., put down some more money and buy the new harddisk... twice! Attach them on 2 separate channels (would be appropriate in the case of IDE disks) and you'll have an increased reading speed in the meanwhile. Then use Linux' software RAID capabilities to use partitions on both disks as a RAID1 array. You may have to use expert install for that. If one disk fail in the future, you still have the other one. Using mdadm you can replace the failed one with a new device. Possible partition setup (equal on both disks): Primary #1: Normal Partition, e.g. ext3, mounted as /boot (just feels safe in case of older boot managers that don't support sRAID) Primary #2: Linux swap (Note: swap on both disks means a swap area of DOUBLE the size of this partition, so 512MB-1GB should be great) Primary #3: The rest of the space, mounted as / (will be /dev/md0) -OR- ~20-60GBytes Primary #4: None -OR- the rest of the space, mounted as /home (will be /dev/md1), so you can re-install the OS without touching your own files -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
