Do you use ALSA or OSS? I've found that using OSS output sometimes 
solves problems with mplayer audio output (eg choppiness on WMV files): 
mplayer -ao oss [filename]

Re: Unable to print from mozilla-firefox only

[Dexter]

I had the same problem. Than I find out, that there are two printing
systems (CUPS and LPR). CUPS is newer and actualy recomended.I had
printer instaled for CUPS, but i was runing bouth systems. Some
aplication printed through CUPS and some through LPR. Firefox was
printing through LPR, so nothing was printed.
Solution:
-remove packages for LPR
-install packages cupsys... and also package cupsys-bsd. Later is needed
for, that cupsys understand and accepts also commands for LPR (that is
why you have to remove LPR)

While I join you in commending the maintainers for persisting longer

Even more puzzling than why one would consider the risk of compromising

Installing and using CUPS is worth doing anyway, as suggested by the 
previous respondent, but the problem with mozilla-firefox sounds like 
the same issue I had at one point.


The solution to this (when using CUPS) proved to be as follows: go into 
the print dialogue, then select "Properties" (I think - working from 
memory here as FF 1.5 is different on this). You're looking for an 
option that is labelled something like "Print command".


When I did this, that option was set to something like "lpr 
${MOZ_PRINTER+NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER+NAME}". I changed this simply to 
"lp" and after that everything printed fine.

I think our ideas of what constitutes a production system are somewhat

For various reasons, the AMD64 architecture was not released concurrently with 
Debian 3.1 "Sarge" - the current stable release - and is not, strictly, part
of Debian Sarge. The first planned release as a fully supported
architecture will be with the next release of Debian - hopefully at the
end of 2006 - currently Debian "testing" and codenamed Etch.

All that said, "unofficial" CD and DVD images were made a week or so
after the launch of Sarge. They are tagged as such but contain virtually
all the same packages as the i386 version of Sarge. [i386 works
perfectly on AMD Athlon and Opteron (and presumably EMT64) anyway].

I'm happily running the AMD 64 bit "unofficial" Sarge at work - the only
problem is that some apps are 32 bit only so don't work without chroot
or compatibility library kludges - OpenOffice.org wasn't 64 bit clean at
the time, though OO.o 2.x is, for example.

All the images, for all architectures, can be found at
http://cdimage.debian.org. I note that the DVD images (available via
jigdo) are still 3.1r0a. The updates to 3.1r1 would be fairly minimal: 3.1r2
is expected shortly. Each point release (r1, r2 etc.) rolls up security
fixes and they are released fairly frequently. If you can only find
3.1r0, then upgrading over the Net to 3.1r2 should be fairly minimal and
strightforward. BitTorrent feeds are also 3.1r0a

Hope this helps, to give you and others some starting point,

Andy

I didn't know that xmms wasn't in development anymore. What is its
substitute? I've been using moc (Music On Console), already packaged in
Debian, which is able to play a quite impressive list of music formats.

It, together with easytag, are the "must haves" audio applications for
those interested in messing with music with Free Software (of course,
grip is also a quite nice application, especially when coupled with
Lame).

I'm just curious to know what others are using.

The Ralink based cards do have linux drivers, but the newer ones are 
now based on the rt61 drivers.  I did the same thing I searched for 
the most open linux driver cards available and decided to use the 
Ralink based cards. But I had problems with wep, and ESSID hiding. 
I could never get my card to use wep with dhcp, or with a static ip 
address.

This is also a problem in window's I just put that card into a 
windows pvr, and wep does work, but i have to have my essid showing 
in order for windows to find it.  It could be my Wireless AP, as 
it's a few years old and only does 802.11b.  And the router AP 
firware is old, because the company does not update the firware 
anymore.

I have an old Orinoco silver 802.11b +5 volt card that is as stable 
as stable can be. It never fails to see my AP, or has a problem 
with wep. I must say that I have not seen any recent really good 
cards with totally free drivers. I would like to see something that 
supports everything like wep wap and does a good job.

If you want more information on my trials with the rt61 card, just 
do a google search.

Mathematica scroll problem

[VSJ]

Hi,

I've a problem with the Mathematica 5.2 FrontEnd under Debian sid
(completely up-to-date):
When I load a large Notebook (i.e., large enough to have an enabled vertical
scrollbar) or Help topic, and I scroll down and then up, the window
contents become unreadable/trashed. The only way to remedy this is to
maximise and then restore the window size to force a redraw.

See screenshots of this behaviour at
http://tinyurl.com/aot3t

Maximising and restoring each time I scroll up is a bit annoying
(understatement).

Although Mathematica is using an ancient graphical toolkit, I don't think
that is the cause of the problem. At the university we're using the same
version of Mathematica (on Fedora Core) and everything works fine (even the
fonts look nice/clean/sharp!). But when I try to run Mathematica over SSH
with X-forwarding, I get the same problem as described above.

Thanks,
Karel

You can also use a command such as 'kprinter' (or the Gnome equivalent,
I assume), then you have the mozilla printing fully integrated in your
desktop environment. This makes it easy to select duplexing, more than
one page on each side, etc. as is appropriate for each individual printjob.

AFAIK xmms will be replaced with xmms2 (of course ;) ) which will be something 
like mpd, another great package. BTW, I did use mpd/gmpc for a while. I seemed 
just perfect for my setup, as I have "server" with a better soundcard and more 
storage than my laptop. The downside was that adding music "on the fly" with 
mpd is not so easy. So I switched to moc started in a ssh console. But it 
doesn't know how to change the playlist order :(

ahh.  Found that article!  thanks.

I'm not sure, though, that the memory leak issue is the same as this
CPU usage problem.  the high memory usage is supposed to make your
browsing experience FASTER -- this issue with the cpu makes firefox
agonizingly slow -- so slow that pages actually load faster with
explorer on my girlfriend's windoze xp laptop, connected by wireless,
than with firefox on my debian desktop, connected by ethernet.  That
doesn't happen with epiphany, for instance (but unfortunately I
don'treally LIKE epiphany...).

I'll keep hunting around though.

I fixed this by using the lib from a box with libXft2 2.1.7 instead of
2.1.8.2-3.

# mv libXft.so.2.1.2 libXft.so.2.1.2-2.1.8.2-3
# scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib/libXft.so.2.1.2 .

Then everything worked again.

Note: I did grab the 2.1.7 deb but when I did the apt-get install / upgrade,
it wiped it out, very nasty!  The worst part is people probably will not see
this until they reboot!

Could you make that lib available somewhere or perhaps mail it to

fc-list is an app that reads your font list from XF86Config or equiv
- you probably won't have all 5,000 or 10,000 fonts loaded 

xlsfonts shows your supported fonts by locale and the env variables
in the system or vice versa .. if you select unsupported fonts,
you get "nothing" showing on the screen

xfontsel .. point-n-clicky of what's available .. ( not useful for
adding/deleting fonts to the system )

if you add fonts, after x11 started.. you will need to manually
regenerate the cache files
xset or mkfontdir ... etc

I guess it isn't quite fair to say that XMMS is no longer in
development.  As I understand it, development of the "old" XMMS ceased
after version 1.2.10 and the developers turned their attention toward a
new version, hinted at 2.0.  In the meantime a group of other
developers (not 4-Front) opted to port XMMS 1.2.x to GTK 2.0 and
released Beep Media Player (BMP).  Now, BMP has split as some developers
want to rewrite BMP (now known as BMPx) while others have continued
with the old codebase and the name has changed once again to Audacious
(not to be confused with Audacity the audio editor).

> I'm just curious to know what others are using.

BMP for Internet "radio", CD's, local audio files, etc., [g]mplayer for
those Windows Media files people invariably send, Kaffeine or VLC for
DVD playback.  I guess I like certain skins too much to employ a
console app for media playback.

CRM tool

[Stefan Bellon]

I'm looking for an open source CRM tool which can be easily installed
and used on Debian unstable.

I already had a look at vtiger (www.vtiger.org) but installing that on
unstable is no joy, because it demands (!) older versions of some
libraries that unstable provides.

Are there other CRM tools available? Which one can be easily installed
and used from within Debian unstable? It must be cross-platform, i.e.
there must be the possibility to use it from Windows as well.

You can find the old versions of this library on snapshot.debian.net if

Re: cannot load color "black"

[Digby Tarvin]

The OO should not be having any effect if you do not run it, so
I don't think there should be any need to remove it.

If you are seening this error occur when you have not run OO
since your last boot, then it would be evidence that the problem
is caused by something else...

I suppose it could be a library problem, in which case more than
one application is likely to be causing it.

All I know at the moment is that I have not been running much more
than 'xterm' from the debian system recently, and that definately
has not caused a problem.

It isn't a priority, so I havn't been actively trying to reproduce
it.

DigbyT

You can find the old versions of this library on snapshot.debian.net if
you add the following 4 lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool xft2
deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool xft2
deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool xft
deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool xft

Then you get:

$ apt-cache policy libxft2
libxft2:
   Installed: 2.1.8.2-3
   Candidate: 2.1.8.2-3
   Version table:
  *** 2.1.8.2-3 0

Are you saying that you can not  choose the "Yes" option?

What happens if you press Ctrl-Alt-F2?

If your machine is truly "frozen" (locked-up, seized, not responding), 
turn it off and then back on. When it starts to boot, if using lilo, 
then at the lilo prompt, enter "linux single"; if using grub, at the 
grub prompt choose the "safe" mode.


Once you've logged into Debian using single/safe mode, disable the 
automatic starting of X with the command "apt-get remove xdm kdm gdm 
wdm". Then "exit" from single/safe mode, and you should boot into a 
normal, non-X mode, at which point we can start doing some diagnostic work.

The answer was to place the line 

  << /Duplex true >> setpagedevice

near the start of the Postscript file.
The C code I use to write the very minimal Postscript header is now

  fprintf(printer, "%! PRINTPS.CPP PostScript OUTPUT\n");
  fprintf(printer, "<< /Duplex true >> setpagedevice\n");
  fprintf(printer, "/cour /Courier findfont %d scalefont def\n", 
linesize);
  fprintf(printer, "cour setfont gsave\n");

instead of
  fprintf(printer, "%! PRINTPS.CPP PostScript OUTPUT\n");
  fprintf(printer, "/cour /Courier findfont %d scalefont def\n", 
linesize);
  fprintf(printer, "cour setfont gsave\n");

The reason I asked is to isolate the problem. Is it something started by

though you don't have a different windowing environment, or a different

fairly trivial.


"aptitude install twm" or "aptitude install icewm" will get you a new wm.
"adduser testman" will get you a new user.

Also, try logging in without using kdm: "/etc/init.d/kdm stop" followed 
by "startx". You can create/edit "~/.xinitrc", placing a single line in 
it with the name of your preferred window manager (or other X client, 
such as "xterm") to take KDE out of the picture.

OpenLDAP's installation

Hi,

   I've been trying to get up and running a openldap server for two 
days now (for the record I have another ldap server which is working

   I did apt-get install slapd ldap-utils.
And it should have been enough for a basic server to work (I've tested

Don't panic just yet.  Apparently the upstream developers have stopped 
working on xmms to develop xmms2.  The death of xmms has been much

ATAPI CD-ROM Drive Issue

[Charles]

Anyone been reporting an issue with kernel 
2.6.8-2-SMP and ATAPI CD-ROM's?  I have a Creative Labs 12/10/32 on my test 
bed and the new kernel version causes it to not exist.  The default 
2.4.27-2 (non-SMP) lets it work just fine.
 
On topic with that, does anyone have a link for 
recompiling the kernel in Debian, preferably  as a step-by-step?  I 
*need* the SMP support, and I'd like a highly secure (read:  REAL CURRENT) 
kernel.

True, but 1.2.10 was released right about two years ago and so far
XMMS2 is at developer release 0.2 and does not yet appear in Sid.  It
may not be dead, but it seems to have one foot in the grave and the
other on a banana peel.  ;-)

Mind you, I'm not griping.  BMP performs well for me and I've tried
Audacious with equally good results.  I just want a lightweight
skinable player in the vein of the Classic Winamp and BMP and Audacious
do that nicely for me.  It just seems to be a duplication of effort for
the XMMS project (and its offshoots) to be like Mplayer, Kaffeine, or
VLC.  There is a need for a heavyweight player and most times a
lightweight player is all that is needed.  Thanks to the GPL work can
continue by motivated developers on an older and functional codebase
even though the original developers feel the need to move on.

fetchmail broken after etch update - a kludgy fix

[Patrick Wiseman]

Hello, all:

I did my weekly aptitude update on my etch system yesterday.  It
included an upgrade of fetchmail.  When asked whether I wanted to
replace the configuration file, I declined, because I had a customized
line in there which I wanted to keep:

OPTIONS="--daemon 300 --syslog"

But apparently, in declining, I failed to set an environment variable,
START_DAEMON, which the new /etc/init.d/fetchmail wants to be
there.  If it's not, the script bails out because of the following
lines:

if [ ! "x$START_DAEMON" = "xyes" ]; then
   echo "Edit /etc/default/fetchmail to start fetchmail"
   exit 0
fi

I tried 'dpkg-reconfigure fetchmail' but it simply gave me the above error message.

Temporarily, I have commented out the above lines, and my fetchmail is
working again, but obviously that's a kludge.  Any suggestions as
to how I can clean things up?

Thanks
Patrick

The most simple solution I can think of, is to put a script
in /etc/init.d/

At least that is what I did with my firewall script.

I have the OPTIONS and other things in the /etc/fetchmailrc, which is
the configuration file for fetchmail.

The /etc/init.d/fetchmail is looking at the /etc/default/fetchmail. So,
how about doing what it says, i.e. edit the /etc/default/fetchmail.
Mine has START_DAEMON=yes as an only line in there.

Also note that the mode of the /etc/default/fetchmail is 0600.

Which timeservers are you getting the time from? (see /etc/default/ntpdate)
Do they provide the correct time?

Try "/etc/init.d/ntpdate start", and look in /var/log/syslog for new
entries from ntpdate.

If you are using pool.ntp.org, a server is randomly chosen from the pool.
You might want to configure ntpdate to always use the same server(s) -
this makes it easier to analyze the problem.

For debugging, you can also use the command "ntdpate -b -u SERVER", so
the output is sent to your terminal rather than syslog.

Definitely good data points.  The branded card I use will not use the
newer beta drivers or get an IP address using dhcp off my WRT54G; but
using the latest beta rt2500 drivers it all works pretty well.  I don't
have issues with WEP at all and I can launch a variety of wifi settings
pretty easily using dhcp.  I'm on a WRT54G that has a newer firmware
flashed on it from about mid-year last year from hyperwrt.org I believe.
But I've used the raylink drivers with firmware from a few places
including sveasoft.  

The only real problem I have is that the rt2500 driver sometimes seems to
block apm from bringing the system out of suspend and that's a problem
that appears to be known and addressed in the rt2x00 driver betas.  Since
the asus cards don't seem to support that I'm still testing some fixes
with the suspend.d and resume.d stuff in apm.

The  other cards I've used are the intel 2200abg minipci cards.  I had
this card in my dell for awhile; but it started having problems so I
removed it and went with a pcmcia/cardbus card.

Routing with iptables [was: Routing, Bridging and VPN]

[Michael Przysucha]

Hello,

I had posted earlier and got good hints. But for keeping it simple I want to do 
the setup only with iptables.

I have the following Interfaces:

eth0: ADSL-Modem connected and dail-up connection with pppoe package
eth2: LAN connected with 192.168.1.0/24
tun0: VPN tunnel with 131.173.0.0/16 and 172.16.0.0/12 at the end, Interface 
gets an public IP by Gateway

I have tried to set up the rules wit some safety restrictions and avoiding to 
set up a cirle-route. Can anyone give me a 
hint if ths is ok at all?
I need to make all changes in theory first, the router can only be disabeld for 
short time.

Thanks in advance,
Michael Przysucha

I'm guessing that the reference to a "GUI" was to aptitude's 
"interactive" mode, which is indeed a curses interface.



They are (or at least should be) complementary, not competing tools.


As I understand it, it's not a good idea to mix-and-match between 
apt-get and aptitude. I believe aptitude works best when it is the only 
package manager in town.


According to Martin Krafft's site, aptitude is now to be preferred over 
apt-get, certainly for dist-upgrades. See

wine 3d very very slow, toolchain problem?

[Rodney Gordon II]

Recently I have built my own compilation of wine on Debian, three
different revisions (0.9.6 .7 and .8). All of these versions are
compiled correctly. I have noticed an odd problem with these builds of
wine, and the commercial cedega fork of wine on Debian.

My dilemma:
I used to play WoW alot.. on linux even! But since my reinstall, I've
had no such luck.. For those that have played World of Warcraft, I am
currently pulling a massive 13fps in the horde's crossroads, and 5fps
if I am lucky in Orgrimmar.. Now, these rates are horrible for my
hardware, and on my last Debian install I would get at least
acceptable framerates. I get these pitiful framerates on wine AND
cedega, so I am pretty assured that I have compiled wine correctly.

I have nvidia-kernel-source installed and modules built for both of my
kernels, 2.6.15.4 mainline and also 2.6.15-ck4. nvidia-glx and
nvidia-glx-dev are installed, as are the proper libraries wine
requires.

Hardware:
Pentium D 830 (3GHz dualcore)
1.5GB RAM
Asus P5LD2 Mobo
nVidia 6600 256MB PCI-E

What I have tried to remedy this situation:
Different builds of wine
Different versions of cedega
Tried mainline kernel, and Con's patchset
Tried both wine and cedega

Some odd things to note:
While running wine, if I attach strace to wine's process which uses
the most cpu (I don't recall if its just 'wine' or 'wineserver' at the
moment, either or) strace just shows a TON of sched_yield() = 0 ... I
talked to Con Kolivas about this problem and he said it may be related
to a toolchain bug due to mainline and his ck patchset kernels showing
the same effect. I am not very knowing about how the Debian toolchain
is setup so maybe someone could enlighten me on this possible problem?

I am at a loss as what to do at this point. My past install 2 months
ago worked fine.. This is nearly a brand new install, and it just
isn't working properly with wine and this game.

If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I think, for best performance, you can use the headers of 
nvidia-glx-dev; normally, those are only placed under 
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-dev/include/GL, not in the standard include 
path; you have to copy the files into /usr/include/GL (move the original 
versions of the available .h files elsewhere I guess)


I don't really think that'll solve the problem, but you can try at least

HTH,

Joris

There is not alsa-modules package for 2.6. The modules
are already included with the kernel.

Did you try running "alsaconf" as root?

Debian uses runlevel 2, even if you run X.

gaira:~# runlevel
N 2

Did you mean:
  # The default runlevel.
  id:3:initdefault:

If you don't want the X login screen, then you have to
do something else. Not running gdm or kdm comes to
mind. I don't know what the right way is.

Removing gdm/kdm/xdm from runlevel 2? That is, if you don't want to remove the 
package altogether.

I stumbled onto a solution.  My work with autofs came in part from a
website (linux gazette, issue 24) which suggested keeping the
individual devices separate, so that a problem with one would not lead
to possible concurrent problems with others.

What was not clear is the apparent need for all submount points (e.g.
mp3, flash, and cards, for me) which reference a single mount (/misc in
my case) to be included in the **same** auto.XXX file.  By including
the three lines from my individual files into a single auto.misc file,
things seem to be working as expected.  The master file obvously was
updated as well.

I expect this is somewhere in the docs, but it slipped past me if so.

HTH someone else down the road...

I'm guessing that the reference to a "GUI" was to aptitude's 
"interactive" mode, which is indeed a curses interface.



They are (or at least should be) complementary, not competing tools.


As I understand it, it's not a good idea to mix-and-match between 
apt-get and aptitude. I believe aptitude works best when it is the only 
package manager in town.


According to Martin Krafft's site, aptitude is now to be preferred over 
apt-get, certainly for dist-upgrades. See 
http://debiansystem.info/readers/changes/181-aptitude-upgrades


I'm sure there are good reasons for aptitude's preference for sole control of 
package management, but none are compelling to me personally.  The 
dist-upgrade/resolver issue seems compelling, but I managed fine without it on 
my latest round of upgrades and hopefully won't be facing it again for a few years.


As I alluded before, the resolver should (ideally) be decoupled from the 
interface so that a variety of package managers can be used equally.  I assume 
or hope that's the plan, and that the current emphasis on aptitude is just a 
temporary anomaly.  Otherwise the other package managers would have to be phased 
out or permanently relegated to second-class status.

Re: Configuring inittab

[Digby Tarvin]

Debian by default does not make good use (IMHO) of the runlevel mechanism.

It bundles all multi-user stuff into runlevel 2 and then leaves 3-5 undefined
(or the same as 2, depending on who you talk to). As far as I know,
they are always the same.

I don't know why - somebody else will have to justify it if they know
the reasoning behind it.

The traditional usage I was familiar with was
2 - multi-user, no network
3 - standard multiuser
5 - multi-user with X

I always preffered to boot to RL 2 to check out the system before
things like mail and web accessess started coming in, and if
everything looked good, 'telinit 5' to open it up.

Anyway, the infrastructure is there, and you can fix it if you
want. I am sure there was a good reason for the change, but I
sure as hell can't think what it would have been...
(maybe to simplify package management for packages that involve
additions to system startup - so they wouldn't need to ask
about with runlevel things get added to??)

To fix it, just add/remove links from /etc/rc.d as
appropriate to your needs.

Alternatively, if you have installed BSD style 'file-rc' then
edit /etc/runlevel.conf

Help to create custom Sarge installer

[pascal]

Hi all,

As the title says, I'm trying to build a custom Sarge installer with a 
2.6.12 kernel patched with the ac ones to install Debian on a ite 8212F 
raid controller. I do this on a etch box.


I tried with a etch 2.6.15 kernel but got a lot of prbs because of the 
devfs changes in the kernel. I gave up. And compiled a custom 2.6.12 
kernel named "2.6.12.itx821-686".


I have a recurrent pb during this process :
I couldn't make the boot files for the install CD with
"make build_cdrom_isolinux-2.6"
(even with the 2.6.15 kernel) because of the lack of the socket-modules 
(containing modules that are indeed in my custom 2.6.12 kernel but 
weren't in the debian 2.6.15 kernel set of modules).

I realised that the command
./debian/rules binary from the directory
/usr/src/linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6-1.21
didn't build the socket-modules-2.6.12.itx821-686-di udeb, despite of 
the fact that this module does exist in the 
/usr/share/kernel-wedge/modules/ directory (but not in the 
/usr/src/linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6-1.21/modules/i386 directory) and the 
specified modules in the "udeb" package are indeed in the 
/lib/module/2.6.12.itx821-686 directory.


I tried to put a "socket-modules" file in the 
/usr/src/linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6-1.21/modules/i386  directory, 
containing "#include" and appended to the 
/usr/src/linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6-1.21/package-list file :

"Package: socket-modules
Depends: kernel-image"

But the only result of
./debian/rules/binary
was :
kernel-wedge check
find: debian/socket-modules-2.6.12.itx821-686-di : Aucun fichier ou 
répertoire de ce type (no such file or directory)

socket-modules-2.6.12.itx821-686-di will be empty
make: *** [binary-arch] Erreur 1

I'm stucked here...How can I tell the build process to incorporate these 
modules (af_packet.ko, unix.ko) in a udeb package in order to go on and 
 toward the next  problem :) ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Not to sound flipant or anything are you using the amd64 port? Are 
you using emt64, or are you sticking with a 32 bit working 
enviornment.  Also are you using smp support in your kernels?

I know this might not have much to do with wine, and cedega working 
like it should, but it could explain the slow fps. I would install 
the amd64 port, and use a 32 chroot for all those 32 bit programs 
you still need. Also make sure you use an smp kernel, if your 
unsure about that look at dmesg and see each core come up.  

I would also make sure you using the most recent Nvidia drivers, as 
I know that it might take Debian a while to get the latest drivers 
as packages. They are supposed to have better support for dual core 
cpu's, which might be part of the problem your seeing.

Your GPU is also not know for its speed, have you turned down all 
the AA and stuff, for instance I play Quake 4 on a dual core 
Opteron 165 with ubuntu amd 64, and I have to turn every thing way 
down. I have a FX6600 gt, I mean I am running like 800x600 with all 
AA turned off just to keep the fps up on some maps. But ut2004 
plays like a dream, but I am gpu limited as it is right now, but it 
doesn't bother me too much.

If you don't get much response from this list you might want to post 
over on the amd64 list. As that really is where all the dual core 
64 bit talk is aimed at.

I once had the default file to a server which was placed in my firewall's

I have no entries in my logchecks for ntp. Running the above command to the 
pool yields NO server which is accessable--in other words, the one I was 
using is no longer available there. Allowing ntp outside the dmz from "pool" 
seems to most often be hitting the same one so I will put that in the dmz. 
Might be best in the long run to use the pool, though a tiny bit less secure 
needing to allow many of them through the firewall.

In other words, the thing has not been working for a while. Funny no error 
messages in the logchecks. Reinstall and dpkg-reconfigure did not give me a 
new default ntpdate file so a made a new one with 
NTPSERVERS="213.222.11.213". Simply using the pool will try a bunch until 
hitting this one. Having the file should take it from there.

film codec conversion

[Mark Grieveson]

Hello.  I use Debian Sarge.  Is there a Debian package of a program that 
converts movie file codecs?  I have used a program called Tovid to 
covert an avi to an mpg, and then used Dvdstyler to burn it to a 
playable dvd.  Is there an equivalent to Tovid that is part of the 
Debian packages?

Could this be the visual bell?  I have encountered this in sarge,
although it (the regular beep) worked fine by default in woody.
I would like to have the woody behavior back but I haven't found
an obvious/quick way to select it.

There's another issue I have with the beep (on a Dell 8600 laptop).
Whereas in woody the volume controls (both from the volume buttons
and alsamixer) applied to the bell/beep, in sarge it is equally
annoyingly loud no matter the volume setting.  Does someone know
of a solution to this?  Why did the behavior change?

A.

Apparently not. I am not running /etc/init.d/ntpdate at all. Did it explicitly 
in cron.daily.

The one in my cron command 216.200.93.8 is in the dmz list and certainly does 
work (apparently is not in the pool).

So ... no, the problem is not solved in ntpdate.

My initial reply wasn't copied to the list, so I'll repeat this

Just to re-iterate, changing the runlevel between values in the

definitions...

To do that, read the man page for update-rc.d(8)...

You can just simply delete the respective links from /etc/init.d/rc2.d or try

Sounds like mencoder may be what you need. Not part of Debian "proper" 
but available in Christian Marillat's multimedia repository (see

apt-setup missing

[Filipe David Manana]

Hi!

Last week I installed Debian Etch on a new machine, after installing
all the packages I wanted, I decided to switch the sources.list mirror
to another portuguese Debian mirror. I aways did this task using
apt-setup, since I don't know the url's for the various portuguese
mirrors. But the problem is that I can't find apt-setup, it used to be
on package "base-config" and now it isn't anymore. This package is now
a transitional package. Two weeks ago I installed Etch at another
machine and I had apt-setup...
I have done "dpkg -S apt-setup" on this last machine and found
apt-setup to be in package base-config...

So where is now apt-setup?
I already searched for the contents of packages at the oficial Debian
site and have not been sucessfull.

Thanks,

Keep those gears a-turning!

Glxgears hardly move at all. The frame rates, however, report seemingly 
correctly.

What's happening?

Running Sid, but with the xorg and mach64 dri from the drm-trunk--this is the 
only way to get direct rendering with this card.

I am using a 32bit environment, and 32bit kernel. SMP is enabled in my
kernels, yes. I prefer to use 32bit for now until things mature a bit
more over on the 64 side.

This is how I had it setup, and working, just about 2 months ago. Both
cores do come up with this layout and my new 32bit layout. I would
prefer to stick to 32bit for now. I don't really think this is the
cause of the problem, because others I know with nearly the same
hardware have this working.

I am using their latest drivers. I run sid and I also have rdonald's
repository in my sources.list just in case there are newer ones out.

Yes, I have all settings to lowest, nearly every feature turned off.
Still, I get this horrible speed, which isn't even near to *half* the
speed I got in windows.. Friends have reported getting a framerate
near the speed of windows, but for some reason I cannot even achieve
half.

Yeah I am on that list also but I am discussing a 32bit kernel and
userland.

If they are moving at some multiple of the vertical scan rate, they may 
even move backwards slightly, like the wagon wheel spokes in an old

Make the gears screen a little bigger and that will change.

Java build error: com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider missing

[Matt England]

I am trying to build a DART server on a Debian sarge system, and I'm 
getting Java build errors, regardless if I use the Java SDK (rev 1.4.2 or 
JDK 5), jikes, or gcj.  Any thoughts?


More information on DART:

http://public.kitware.com/Dart/HTML/Index.shtml
http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/DartSummary
http://svn.na-mic.org:8000/svn/Dart/trunk/Dart.pdf
http://svn.na-mic.org:8000/svn/Dart/trunk/
http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Dart2Summary

Build errors follow for the gcj build.  I do have libjessie-java installed, 
at first glance appears to provide the 
com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider...I think.


I'm not a Java developer (I'm a longtime C/C++ person), and for what it's 
worth, the world of Java has continually confounded me (although I used to 
be on a Java development team, it was back in 1998, or something like that, 
on a Windows system--ugh).


Thanks for any help.  I'll probably be posting to the DART users in a bit, 
but they hardly have any traffic on that email list.

Re: Etch dependency failures

[Amadan Korvin]

hi

OK i'm not a package maintainer or anything.  but i've been watching
the status of etch and sid for a couple weeks now because i've had the
same problems as you - each time i try for an aptitude upgrade i get
depencency hell.  as far as i understand, what is happening is that
several critical and co-dependent packages are getting some bugs
hammered out, and are slightly out of sync with each other in terms of
the next source upload, with the result that a lot of dependencies are
broken right now.  every couple days, _some_ of the problems are
resolved.  (although sadly more crop up).  I'm almost at the point now
where my aptitude upgrade goes through without errors.  seems they're
clearing things up.

Re: Installing lmule

[Henrique Rennó]

Hello Martin!!!

Thanks for the answer!!!

Now I'm having another problem. I'm following the steps from the
INSTALL file of lmule, the same steps given in this site:
http://www.todo-linux.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1694.

The configure script passes without errors (after installing libexpat,
expat, libgtk, gtk, libgtk-devel, configuring some symbolic links to
.so files from .so.1 or similar ones, putting a wx-config symbolic
link in /usr/bin etc). When I type "make" to compile the source it
stops at it:

flex ./src/common/lexer.l
bison -y ./src/common/parser.y
gcc -c   -I./lib/wx/include/gtk-2.4 -I./include -I./src/png
-I./src/jpeg -I./src/tiff -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2
-I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -D_REENTRANT
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES-D__WXGTK__
-DGTK_NO_CHECK_CASTS -O2 -MMD -pthread -Wall -I. -fPIC -o parser.o

reported only once
./src/common/lexer.l:190: error: for each function it appears in.)
make: ** [parser.o] Erro 1

The configure I used is like this:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-gtk2 --enable-timedate
--enable-gui --enable-protocol --enable-http --enable-ftp
--enable-resources --enable-prologio --disable-debug --enable-final
--enable-timer --with-gtk --disable-profile

I don't know what to do to fix this problem. Is there some option I
have to pass to the configure script in order to fix it??? May it be a
problem with the makefile???

I'll be patiently waiting for an answer.

Still no joy.  Carefully followed the instructions on that web page, and

Hi Adam,
this is the process of creating a relatively bug-free distribution! It
takes a LOT of this to finally produce 'stable' where all these issue
are resolved. As this process proceeds, testing becomes more stable and
less things are pulled out and put in. It takes between 12 and 24 months
for Debian. There are ways to speed up this process, because you do not
have to be a Debian Developer to fix problems. Not every package is
maintained by Debian Developers. Most of the applications are not done
by Debian Developers. The hard part is finding out what needs to be done
SPECIFICALLY beyond locating orphaned packages or looking in the BTS
(bugs.debian.org, our bug tracking system) but the main thrust is to fix
things you are interested it and submit them as bug reports or patches.
Cheers,
Kev

switching between keyboard layouts in gnome 2.6

Midi editor

[Pooly]

Hi,

I'm trying to create some midi file. I'm using etch.
- If I try to install noteedit or Kguitar, apt-get want to remove few
useful packages (amarok and half of KDE...).
- If I add sid in sources.list (with the prefered version to etch
though) and try to install rosegarden4 it says that it depends on :
kdelibs4c2a (>= 4:3.4.3-1), libjack0.100.0-0 (>= 0.100.0), libqt3-mt
(>= 3:3.3.5)
but that they won't be installed...
- I tried brahms, but with no luck, font are not correct, I can"t
place any note correctly.
- I try to compile rosegarden4, but it depends on the dev packages of
qt, and if I try to install them same result, apt-get wants to
uninstall half of KDE.

If anyone has suggestion, they warmly welcome !

mono for debian

[Martin Paraskevov]

I'm using Debian Sarge (stable) and searched for a mono package to install: apt-cache search mono.
I didn't get any  packages related to the mono project back. How can I install mono and run .NET applications
on my debian box? 

I searched the internet and found the backports.org website. However I don't quite understand how it functions.
There are lots of packages under the mono directory (http://www.backports.org/debian/pool/main/m/mono/), but 
I don't know which of them to install and, moreover, how to install them. They are not visible with the apt-get tool.

Re: switching between keyboard layouts in gnome 2.6

[Digby Tarvin]

I use xrus to switch between ascii and cyrillic keymaps
  'apt-get install xruskb'

The keymap is configurable, so any key map can be used.

The default config allows a keymap toggle by pressing both
shift keys simultaneously.

It is just X, so should work with any window manager that doesn't
explicitly get in the way - but I don't generally use gnome so I can't
vouch for it...

It shows no errors at the shell, but I can't connect to any web site.
I changed the proxy options in mozilla to use a direct Internet

more details about the problem I'd like to be aware of.
