There's more than one message from Mirko.  I think the problem was
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dated
"Fri, 21 Mar 2008 13:39:09 +0100" which, as delivered here, has
a "resent-from:" but no "from:".  This seems to have confused some
mail clients.  Maybe lists should block email without "from:".

Re: network-manager stopped dynamically recognizing my network

[markus]

Hello,

I safe-upgraded yesterday (22.03.2008) an have exactly the same problem:
Neither eth0 nor wlan0 are working anymore.  Unfortunately, I have no

I saw nothing of interrest in /var/log/messages.
I would post /var/log/aptitude for this update to find out which package

Did you try to boot your system with the controller set to normal

I think that might mean that the system recognized the FastTrak-

drive with hardware RAID working.

If you want to investigate this further then you probably have to  
switch
your entire setup to using partition labels or UUIDs, to be imune

effects of /dev/hd? reshuffling (or try a liveCD as I suggested

I'll try (later this w/end) the LiveCD - the idea being that it may

Hmm, it looks a little tricky, but
http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/faq says that you can
import Mbox files into Thunderbird.

It says that you do it by copying an Mbox file to the "Mail/Local
Folders" directory within your "profile directory".

By the way, /var/mail/username files are Mbox files.

So you might end up running something like this:

The shell command would end up looking something like this:
cp /var/mail/username ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/blergh.default/Mail/Local\ Folders

Then restart Thunderbird.

importing an mbox file only copies the contense of file will prevent

I tried the above the problem is that by coping you stuck with what
was allrady in the file and if you get new mails you don't know about it .
*
*so i did a sym link :
ln -s /var/mail/jabka
/home/jabka/.mozilla-thunderbird/2i25fsli.default/Mail/Local\
Folders/jabkamail

or in more common way :
ln -s /var/mail/YOURUSERNAME
/home/YOUR_USERNAME/.mozilla-thunderbird/SOME_DIR.default/Mail/Local\
Folders/SOME_FILE_NAME *
*
The problem is that afaik to see the diffrence in incoming mails you
have to restart thunderbird (icedove).

Setting up a HA server with limited resources

[Rico Secada]

Hi.

A customer with very limited resources needs to set up a high available
system running apache, mysql, postfix and dovecot and I have gotten the
task.

I have only two Pentium 4 machines at my disposal, and I have begun
researching how to make them work with load balancing and fail safe
operations at the same time. I have one public IP address available.

I would like to reach a state, if possible, in which load balancing is
performed, but at the same time, if one machine fails, the other will
automatically take over. I believe this setup is also very useful when
deploying updates.

Any advice on how to implement such a setup?

Best regards.

Rico.

Check heartbeat, cman, update-cluster packages. If you plan to deploy a
scheme with shared disk access, you'll also need gfs, gulm, clvm, fence
packages too.

SAMBA W2K3 ADS

[sk71]

Hi @ll,

i try to setup a samba server with authentication against a win2k3
server with ads. I use Debian Etch with the last release and updates.

I use this howto 
http://plone.held-im-ruhestand.de/software/samba-and-active-directory
to configure all the necessary stuff.

I can join successfully the domain and the samba server appears in the
ads in the computer section.

I also read some other howtos where the output of wbinfo -u or wbinfo -
g show the short domain name with seperator and then the username or
group. But in my case it do not so.
If i use wbinfo -u or wbinfo -g i just see the username or groupname
without the domain. What's the matter with this? Can anyone tell why
the domain is not shown in output?

I did this years ago, and I just copied the contents to separate
directories and used the apt command (forget which) so that it looked
for the cd in a mounted directory.

I, too, am on rural dial-up.  However, after the initial install, the
biggest problem isn't installing software, but the security updates that
thus don't come on the CDs.  When doing the initial install, I do base,
then groups of related packages keeping the download to a reasonable
time (e.g. under 12 hrs).  Luckily, you can interrupt aptitude to use
the phone and it will carry on again.

Thunderbird refers to this as a "movemail" account, which should be
one of the standard "new account" options.  Unfortunately,
state-of-the-art biff technology seems to elude the TB team, and
they've determined that automatically finding new messages is a
problem beyond their abilities.  I have a movemail account called
"cron", and to get new messages I have to select the inbox and try to
get new mail.  My xterm's biff lets me know there's something to get.

Try running aptitude with no args and you'll get the curses interactive
screen.  You can use that to sort out exactly what aptitude wants to do
and why.  If you've never used this mode of aptitude, you may want to
get the aptitude manual; if so just get the deb with your web browser
and install it with dpkg.

[OT] searching for crm

[Martin Marcher]

Hi,

I'm looking for a CRM software, looking around it seems that SugarCRM
is the package of choice in this field but it's written in php and I
don't do that normally so I'd rather choose a steep learning curve
with python than with php.

I also know of xrms.sf.net (php again) as an alternative but I
recently had to enhance it and the code really seems unmaintainable
(mixed PHP/HTML/SQL in a single file), looks like it was created way
before anybody thought about MVC or some best practices, yes it does
work but I'll probably be enhancing it with some custom stuff where I
see fit.


my requirements would be:

 * web based
 * needs to have workflows (e.g. assign activity to a contact, if no
updates within a week -> escalate by mail,)
 * soap/xmlrpc interface (xmlrpc preferred, it just so much nicer to use)
 * mail gateway (incoming mail should be automagically processed and
attached to activities/contacts,)

nice to have would be:
 * written in python (what I sript in most of the time)
 * xmpp interface (escalation or something, i just like that protocol
it seems to be able to fit nearly any use be it human/human messaging,
human/app or app/app)
 * NO: tinyerp.org
 * NO: erp5.org
 * I had a look at both of these and they seem to just hide under open
source there isn't really that much documentation there (especially
erp5.org when i last looked at it), also they seem overkill as I
really just need CRM not ERP atm.

so does anyone have suggestions about more alternatives to look at?

thanks
martin

Apache running vbscript-ASP

I need to alter  some vbscript-files for a website that is running on an
IIS installation. I am not going to be able to change that, so I will
have to be able to actually run that site. Is there any way to do so

debian unofficial key problems

[Frank Wilson]

I'm using the unofficial repository for some packages but I keep
getting the following error
whenever I run "aptitude update":

W: GPG error: http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing Release: The
following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is
not available: NO_PUBKEY 394D199524C52AC3

I tried registering the public key for this repo locally, but the
above suggest to me this hasn't worked. (I've re-run "aptitude update"
several times since I added the key)

There is however an entry for debian-unofficial in my "apt-key list" output:

Which seems to correspond with this:

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

You have to set up a movemail account if you want to access folders in
/var/mail directly:

http://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Help_Documentation:Creating_an_Account#Creating_a_Movemail_Account
http://wp.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2.0/relnotes/demo/movemail.html

It seems that the configuration dialog for this type of account is
broken in some versions of icedove:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=432119
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447002

It may be possible to work around the bug by creating an additional pop3
account and converting it to a movemail account afterwards:

http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/movemail/

It should not be necessary to edit prefs.js directly, the config editor
gives you access to the mail.server.serverX.type settings as well.
(Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Config Editor...)

You might furthermore want to use an external movemail command,
typically the one from the "mailutils" package, to have the option to
preserve the original messages in /var/mail. The relevant config
settings are mail.use_builtin_movemail and mail.movemail_program.

(Disclaimer: I never actually tried the above workaround. Movemail
 accounts worked fine for me with Mozilla, but I never used thunderbird
 or icedove long enough to know if that feature has been preserved
 properly. It might be safer to run a local imap server for icedove to
 access.)

Yes, and that it will always boot from the CD, irrespective of how many
drives are recognized for given BIOS setting. It seems to me that the
drive(s) attached to the promise controller were recognized in your last
experiment, but this unfortunately meant that Grub saw a different order
of drives, therefore it did not know where to find your root partition
anymore.

To illustrate this more concretely, let's say that your root partition
is on the first partition of the first hard disk. This normally means
that GRUB was installed on the master boot record of this drive and that
GRUB is configured to look for the /boot/grub directory on "(hd0,0)" to
bring up the system. (GRUB counts from zero, so "0,0" is "first drive,
first partition".) Everything worked fine, until you changed the BIOS
setting and the FastTrak-attached drives were suddenly recognized. The
Promise controller has a lower PCI address than the VIA controller; this
gives you a new "(hd0)" and the disk with your root partition is now
"(hd1)" or even "(hd2)". The BIOS will normally still find the old MBR,
simply because it can try all attached drives until it comes across one
that can boot at all, but GRUB gets lost looking for /boot/grub on the
new "(hd0,0)", especially if the new drive has not even been partitioned
yet.

This means that you will have to reconfigure GRUB in the long run, but
right now a liveCD is probably the quickest means to see what exactly is
going on and what is possible at all. (You can also enter the correct
new root designation directly at the GRUB prompt, but the liveCD has
indeed the added benefit of showing you if things improve with a newer
kernel.)

I may be wrong, but maybe you just need pop3 server / daemon? Then you 
don't read the mail file directly but configure Icedove to get mail from 
your local pop3 server.

change tk fonts, how?

[Ian Zimmerman]

Tk (as of 8.4) uses a different (smaller, lighter) font for message boxes ---
including error messages --- than for the rest of the widgets, at least by
default.  I have always thought this was a cosmetic glitch, but now I have
a huge screen at work and the message font has become simply unreadable.
How can I reconfigure tk to use the ubiquitous bold Helvetica for message
boxes too?

I owned the Osterhout book at one time but IIRC it didn't answer this either.
TIA for help, Ian

The key that apt is complaining about is their 2007 signing key: 

$ gpg --recv-keys 394D199524C52AC3
gpg: requesting key 24C52AC3 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net
gpg: key 24C52AC3: public key "Debian Unofficial Archive Automatic Signing Key 
(2007) <...>" imported
gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, classic trust model
gpg: depth: 0  valid:   1  signed:   1  trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 1u
gpg: depth: 1  valid:   1  signed:   0  trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 1m, 0f, 0u
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:   imported: 1

$ gpg --list-key 394D199524C52AC3
pub   1024D/24C52AC3 2007-01-24 [expired: 2008-02-01]
uid  Debian Unofficial Archive Automatic Signing Key (2007) 
<...>

If it does not bother you that they sign their current Release file(s)
with an expired key then you can add the old key to your apt keyring and
the message will stop. It is reassuring that it is at least possible to
establish a chain of trust from the 2007 key to the official Debian
keyring: The 24C52AC3 key is signed by Daniel Baumann, who is a Debian
developer. (Of course, you cannot and should not trust me, so you have
to verify this yourself if you want to take security seriously.)

If you prefer to download the key from their website instead of using
the gpg command above then you have to replace "2008" with "2007" in the
wget URL that they give in their FAQ.

What if you forget liveCDs and just try booting the install CD.  If that
doesn't work, what about USB-stick?  See the installation manual.

chatty mouse?

[Ross Boylan]

I just switched to using a Kensington 2 button + scrollwheel optical
mouse, connected by usb.  I switched to a new LCD monitor at the same
time.

Previous config was a a Logitech 2 button + scroll mechanical mouse
connected via psaux, with a CRT monitor.

I suspect that something is generating ongoing activity, because 
1)the monitor (Samsung Syncmaster 245T) never goes into a deep sleep.
However, the screensaver does come on, which somewhat contradicts my
theory.
2) rsibreak, under KDE, acts as if there is activity.  rsibreak is a
little applet that interrupts every few minutes to tell you to take a
quick break.  Now, when it starts counting down to time the break, it
often resets to the top count (20 seconds) a few times after counting
down a second or two, and then it switches to showing pictures that
cover the whole screen.  It used to do this only if there was activity
during the break period.
3) Finally, rsibreak sometimes tells me to take a break soon after I
come back to the keyboard.  It should realize the system is idle and
reset the clocks.

However,

It's possible rsibreak is just malfunctioning (it was acting a little
funky before the hardware changes) and that 1) has some other
explanation.

I ran xev and it did *NOT* produce any evidence of mouse events when I
had my hands off the mouse.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Thanks for the pointer to wpasupplicant package. That was useful.

I have to go around from one file/document/readme/package to another to
figure out the whole thing. The documentation is very haphazard without
providing a clear overview. The whole wireless configuration is a mess to
say the least. I was able to make it work in the end, but I had to spend
one whole day to solve the mystery. Compare that to setting up wireless in
Windows which I managed in less than 10 minutes :-)

Anyway, I have surmised the instructions in
http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/2008/03/accessing-wpa-wireless-networks.html
Hopefully it helps someone to get wireless up and running in no time.

Lots of hits on googling the error messages... didn't read enough to see 
any hard-and-fast solutions, though.


Here's one link that has lots of info...


Just out of curiosity, is your boot order "CDROM, Harddisk," or is your 
LiveCD somehow trying to boot through the Grub that's installed on the 
harddisk?

I believe that a single process's reads always come from one of the
disks.  You can have multiple readers using multiple disks, so it
still provides a benefit.

You could try using RAID-10 on 2 disks (this will work for Linux
md's implementation) to see if that will stripe it for even one
process's reads.

Cheers,
Andy

Tunnel iceweasel?

[Rich Healey]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi list,
I'm trying to tunnel an iceweasel instance via ssh from one of my boxes
at my house to remember the name of an add-on i installed.

The problem is that i create a ssh session (ssh -XC
ssh.psychotik.info), login and run iceweasel at the bash prompt, which
takes forever, but then finally *opens a local iceweasel!!!*

Why would it do this?!

Regards

problems booting

[Freddy Freeloader]

Hi All,

I'm building a server based on an Asus M2N-LR mobo, a 3Ware 9550SXU RAID 
card, 8 gigs of ram and a dual core Opteron.  The hard drives are all 
sata Raptors with 4 of the 5 drives in a RAID 10 array.  I'm running Etch.


The problem I'm having is an intermittent one with booting.   I will 
quite regularly get a message that the root file system cannot be found, 
as well as files such sbin/init and /etc/fstab.  Here is the most 
specific error: mount: mounting /root/dev on /dev/.static/dev failed.  
Just before those messages it says kinit is looking at sda5 for a resume 
image but cannot find it.  I'm then dumped into a shell after the boot 
process fails.


This happens about 40% of the time on reboots and is not acceptable as 
this will be a remote server which will be physically located more than 
100 miles away.  I assume I'm running into problems with udev not naming 
the devices consistently but am not quite sure of my diagnosis or how to 
fix it if that is the problem.  I've been reading the man pages 
associated with udev but man pages are so terse I'm not sure if I 
understand how to write rules for it, and looking at rules in 
/etc/udev/rules.d  leaves me a little more confused as to exactly how to 
write a rule for this.


The drives are:

sda: a single sata drive partitioned into sda1 and sda5.  sda1 has the 
boot flag set.  sda5 is the swap partition.


sdb: RAID 10 array partitioned as sdb5, sdb6, sdb7, sdb8. 

Any help would be appreciated.  Any links to clearly written tutorials 
or anything like that would help.

Hi Alphonse,

I have a N73 also, do you just use the default mail client to read the list?
