How to automatic restore alsamixer settings with alsa-utils?
Hi, on my SID system, I experience that alsamixer settings are not restored after booting. It looks like /etc/rcS.d/S50alsa-utils is called at the wrong time (too early?). Because after rebooting I can restore alsamixer settings just by calling '/etc/init.d/alsa-utils start' or alternatively by calling 'alsactl restore'. And yes, alsa-utils is called while booting (I can see it's output). This is for quite a while now and just a bit annoying. I have this (kernel?) bug, where I have to switch off 'Headphone Jack Sense' and 'Line Jack Sense' to hear anything. Else, I wouldn't have noticed this alsa-utils behaviour. Did I miss something (maybe a packet or something)? Regards, Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

i cant print from firefox?
Hi,
I'm using a debian testing environment on my laptop, and most of the
stuff works good now, but printing is still a bit strange.
I can print pdfs with gpdf, and documents from openoffice, but I cant
print anything from firefox, even though I select the same printers in
the menus.
I noticed that I have a line like this in the printer properties of firefox:
lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}
I'm using cups, and I couldnt get the line above to work from the shell
either, so it might be that? but what should the line say? :)
Best regards,
Eric

Re: How to automatic restore alsamixer settings with alsa-utils?
Hi Tim, Try placing an executable file with "alsactl restore" in /etc/rc2.d and call the file S99alsa, or something. The important part is S99 which means alsactl is one of the last things which will be called while booting.

How can I specify email address for log_accum.in (CVS)
Hi,
I'd like to use the scripts log_accum.in for CVS and commit_prep.in for
projects using CVS to send mails to a mailing list. I don't understand how to
configure them well. Could you please help me to do this ?
In fact, we are using CVS 1.12.9 included in Debian Sarge. I'm already tested
other scripts but they didn't work well with the last format of message. I've
downloaded the scripts from the package of CVS 1.12.10.
So I've installed the scripts on CVSROOT on a project. I've changed the
constant to use the new info format string, to emulate local users.
I've put in CVSROOT/commitinfo :
DEFAULT $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commit_prep.in -- %r/%p %s
And in CVSROOT/loginfo :
DEFAULT $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/log_accum.in %{sVv}
However I don't understand how I can specify the email where the message is
sent. Could you please tell me this ?
I seems that the email comes from the line :
push(@mlist_list, &read_file_lines("$MLIST_FILE.$i.$id.$cvs_user"));
And $MLIST_FILE.$i.$id.$cvs_user is the file :
$TMPDIR/${FILE_PREFIX}files.mlist
I don't understand how this file is generated. I had a look at commit_prep.in
and it is :
#!/usr/bin/perl
$TMPDIR = $ENV{'TMPDIR'} || '/tmp';
$FILE_PREFIX = '#cvs.';
if ($ARGV[0] eq '-u') {
shift @ARGV;
$CVS_USERNAME = shift (@ARGV);
}
$LAST_FILE = "$TMPDIR/${FILE_PREFIX}lastdir";
sub write_line {
my ($filename, $line) = @_;
open(FILE, ">$filename") || die("Cannot open $filename: $!\n");
print(FILE $line, "\n");
close(FILE);
}
$id = getpgrp();
&write_line("$LAST_FILE.$id.$CVS_USERNAME", $ARGV[0]);
exit(0);
There is no mention of that file.
Regards and thank you for your help.

vim: non-root user in gnome-terminal
Hi all, I'm running sarge wuith Gnome and I have a problem when I start vim in a gnome-terminal (using vi, not gvim). No problem when I su root, but as a normal user I notice that any document I open gets scrambled as I try to move around the document. The document does not really get scrambled, rather it is its view in the terminal that does. When I resize (drag any border) the comamnd window where vim runs, the document view returns normal and since then I have no problems anymore. The TERM environment variable value is xterm for both root and non-root users. Any idea about which environment issue could affect vim behavior? Thanks in advance! P.S.

Sarge d-i and serial install
Hi, I hear rumours that if a machine has no video card, (sarge) debian-installer will try to open a serial console. I want to install on a mini-itx box with no monitor, but it's got a graphic card on-board that can't be disabled. Is there a way to have it start d-i on a serial console (say, not plug in a keyboard a la Sparc?). Even some set of commands to type in blind would help. Assuming I need to pass the kernel some custom CLI options, other strategies I can think of are: * boot floppy ( it's got no floppy drive either) * custom CD (when I asked about custom install CDs recently I got no answer) * boot d-i over PXElinux (an option? Bit cumbersome just for a serial console) Anyone know which are goers? Thanks in advance. -- Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns

I experienced the same problem. When alsa-utils was called, the driver module for my sound card was not loaded yet. alsa-utils wouldn't trigger autoloading of the module either, so it failed to restore the mixer settings. The module was autoloaded later, probably when KDE started up. My solution was to load the module explicitly in /etc/modules, so it gets loaded before /etc/init.d/alsa-utils is called.

How would I go about creating this image? I've recently posted a similar question and got no answer, so I can't give one either. However, I solved my problem by compiling the stuff needed to boot my system (vesa framebuffer and framebuffer based console in my case) right into the kernel, rather than as a module.

Is that bad?, and if so, how can I configure my kernel source? I know how to configure the kernel, but not the kernel source. I aborted and still the program installed the package "build essential". I issued the command again and the warning keeps coming up. Could you tell me what to do?. Thanks. Teilhard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

blind spot for java
Hi, I know this might seem a little strange but my system seems to have developed a blind spot for Java. I have a JDK installed in /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/ when I attempt to execute [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/bin/java I get bash: /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/bin/java: No such file or directory which is quite plainly wrong as the file most certainly does exist and has execution rights. I have another (very slightly older and 64-bit) version of Java installed via java-package which works fine but I need to get this one working. Any ideas what might be wrong? All the other applications seems to be working fine. I have re-installed the JDK and tried other versions and all produce the same message. This is a long shot I know but I am using the 64bit debian port and this is a 32bit VM it is therefore relying on some libraries provided by the 32bit chroot. It was working fine yesterday but I also upgraded the chroot yesterday. I'm wonering if the two could be linked. The problem is that it just doesn't seem to even find the java file to get.

nforce4 PATA support?
Hi, after some research, I ordered a MSI Neo4 Platinum Mainboard, which uses the nforce 4 chipset. Until today, I was fairly confident that I could get the planned configuration to run, but just now I'm not so sure anymore. Each and every writeup I found so far on the 'net talked only about SATA support, which I won't need. I need my PATA drive to work, preferably without an expensive adapter. The kernel up to 2.6.12.5 doesn't seem to have any support for PATA on any nforce chipset. Is it really impossible to use it? Or is it just part of the SATA driver? Does someone here have experience with that topic? -- Got Backup? Jabber: Shadowdancer at jabber.fsinf.de pgpBeAEOb4hOn.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: blind spot for java
Thanks for the pointer. The problem, though, is not getting Java installed; I have it installed and I am using the 64bit linux version as I write. The problem is that a 32bit VM that I use (because the 64 bit version doesn't have a client mode) has for some reason stopped working. I am concerned that it claims the file is not found when it is, plain as day, sitting there on the disk and is displayed with ls -l with all the right permissions. My initial thought was I had some how been rooted but I have run chkrootkit and that doesn't seem to be the case. I also think that it would be a strange root kit that took out only 32bit JVMs on AMD64 :o) Graham On Friday 26 August 2005 11:52, Bill Day wrote: > It took me a couple of times to notice I had a slight typo in my setup > before I reeally relaized what was going on, once I slowed down and double > checked my install > from( http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/ch11.html ) all > went quite well. > > On Friday August 26 2005 7:32 am, Graham Smith wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I know this might seem a little strange but my system seems to have > > developed a blind spot for Java. > > > > I have a JDK installed in /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/ when I attempt to > > execute > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/bin/java > > > > I get > > > > bash: /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/bin/java: No such file or directory > > > > which is quite plainly wrong as the file most certainly does exist and > > has execution rights.

May I also upgrade to a new kernel (If I install also a newer kernel will the system still be able to see the drives)? I'm asking this because I couldn't do a Sarge installation because of the error reported in my first e-mail: error loading "modprobe -v sym53c8xx_2" Furthermore I have two 2G disks, which I would prefer to manage with LVM. I read I have these alternatives: 1) Make the LVM arrangement of the disks at installation time (I've seen an HOWTO about this: Root-on-LVM-on-RAID HOWTO). But this would require to use a kernel from a diskette, and I don't know if this kernel will recognize my SCSI drives (as up to now I could only do it booting Woody with vanilla). 2) Install Woody on first disk (partitioned as ext2), and after installation change it to LVM (described in the LVM HOWTO). I'm proceeding this way, but I don't know when it is best to do the LVM conversion: before or after upgrading to sarge, before or after an (eventual) upgrade to a new kernel. Also, which version of LVM shall I use (of course this depends on which kernel I will be able to install)? Has anyone else used LVM on a NetServer with Debian? Thanks for your help; It's very helpful because I'm a bit confused (It's my first attempt in installing a server).

Nagios : need some advice
Hello, I'm new user of nagios, and i'm not sure of everything i want to do. All is ok, but my boss (he give me a lot of trouble!) want to nagios do the service check faster (every 10second for example). So a lot of question come into my too small head : - Do i need to use another monitoring software? - Is MRTG(i'm think now it has a new name) could be useful for me? - Is this setup could be interressant for me : In the main configuration file, the unit of time is set to 10sec : timing_interval_lenght = 10 And the update of status : status_update_interval = 10 If i do so, i change my check_normal_interval for all my service in the service configuration file. And maybe i must change another option (but what options?) and is nagios will be happy to do as i want? Say me if you think that my idea is not so bad. thanks. nk.

Problem with update of libc6 in unstable?
I have tried to update libc6 in unstable. Every time I try it says it will remove my active kernel. I have not seen that before or if so I have forgotten it. I am using a kernel that I compiled ver 2.4.22 I do NOT want to upgrade my kernel as I will need to recompile it for my hardware.

Re: blind spot for java
Hi Graham, - make shure, that file is not a symlink. It should tell you if you do 'ls -la'. - make shure that not one of the directories has obscure permissions. You could (as root) copy the java file into /tmp and try to execute it there. Does it work? If not, maybe the file is corrupt. Try things like 'file java' or 'ldd java', just to see Tools like file and/or ldd recognise it as executable. Tim Am Freitag, 26.

Re: i cant print from firefox?

Cupsys and gimp-print have improved things tremendously, if your printer is supported... Unfortunately, firefox uses Xprt instead and we need to deal with it too. I'm under the (possibly mistaken) impression that Xprt is considered the better of the two. Be aware however, that the default Xprt shipped with your X server is said to be seriously broken. Debian provides other packages to replace it. I can print pdfs with gpdf, and documents from openoffice, but I cant print anything from firefox, even though I select the same printers in the menus. Using "PostScript/lpr" in the list works for me. It was provided by the xprint package (testing/unstable, it might be called xprint-xorg in stable).

I tried installing Woody (booting with vanilla) and adding as an apt source only the first CD (yes I have CDs because it's an internal server and can't connect it to internet). Then I rebooted and added the first three Sarge CDs (because adding all 14 CDs requires too much time just to see if things works). Then I launched apt-get dist-upgrade. After a few question, it apt-get finished. Then I rebooted the machine. And... THE SYSTEM HANGS. It just write "LI" (maybe it starts to write LILO?) and hangs :( Don't know why, and actually don't know how to proceed. I'm thinking that there is no way of installing. Would adding all 7 Woody CDs and all the 14 Sarge CDs make the installation and upgrade process work? Furthermore, I need to have LVM management and this is further compicating the installation. RedHat installs with no problem, but I really liked to have Debian because I know it is better :). Only that it is so hard to install...

However, I didn't try to read the whole capture (decoding thousands of requests is a work for masochists only). The version of xfree86 is 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 Any suggestions would be welcome.

Well I gave it a shot. I don't know what the output means but it doesn't look

The issues (due to non free license) are allegedly resolved in 2.6.12 . Options: 1/ Wait for testing network install to include 2.6.12 2/ Try another distro 3/ Install sarge from cd/dvd set (which is more likely to include the relevent modules) and upgrade to testing 4/ Shoehorn kernel from www.kernel.org 5/ ???

Bosses always appreciate - besides the uptime of your systems ;) - nifty graphs visualizing internet link usage or the like. I found cacti (www.cacti.net) to do a very good job at that. Most of the time you don't know whats going on on your systems or your network in terms of utilization. Cacti brings total transparancy to that and supports you in long term capacity planning and retrospective troubleshooting. It does not do alerting (like nagios), but does a perfect job at graphing measuring data (cpu load, memory / harddisk usage, link usage, ...). So it's a complement to nagios i consider worth using. > >Every 10 seconds can put a lot of load on your network connections > >especially if you monitor a lot of services and servers.

Do you think it is really necessary to monitor cpu load every 10 seconds? I don't. We check it at about every 5 minutes. Rather use tresholds to do a more frequent checking when you get in the range of a possible overusage. So normally check every 5 minutes but when you get to a repeated 5-min load of 1 (for a 1 cpu system), do a more frequent checking. It is a lot about figuring out whats the best procedure for you specific environment, but i definitly would not trigger a check every 10 seconds. - sebastian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This was working fine yesterday after I upgraded both the host system and the chroot. I wonder if something only changed when the machine was rebooted.

Thanks for all the help. I've got it working now. It was simply a matter of making this link in the host system ln -s /var/chroot/sid-ia32/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 fingers crossed that doesn't break anything else though. I have been do all of this diagnosis from the host system with the exception of the one "ls -ld /lib/ld-linux*" command that I ran in the 32 bit chroot to see if I had ld-linux.so.2 in there. I haven't had a problem with this set up before and the 32bit JVM seems quite happy running like this. Perhaps I should move it into the chroot though. There are no statically linked versions of Sun Java to the best of my knowledge. Graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
