I don't have or use that model of printer; so I don't know. So far, all the printers I have attempted to use with Debian are old enough that there are Debianized drivers built into CUPS/foomatic that work just fine. As for checking the toner level, most printers I have used have a "toner low" light on the printer itself which warns me that the toner is about to run out, and that has always been adequate enough for my purposes. I can't speak for the drivers to which you are referring, but in general I would recommend using a driver package that has been customized for the Debian environment. -- .''`.

I would test first, if apt even needs /tmp to be executable. I run it
with /tmp non-exec and don't have any problems with it.

Iceowl-l10n-*: no more translations?
Hello, I would like to install a localized version (Spanish) of iceowl extension (calendar extension for Icedove) in testing and have been waiting for long time -and carefully watching- this bug: Localization support for iceowl-extension request http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=579950 Now I see no more translation will be available: RM: iceowl-l10n -- RoQA; Orphaned; doesn't work; fix unknown; (mostly) low popcon http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=602894 By reading the bug report I still fail to see what it is required. I downloaded upstream Lightning 1.0b1 (which is fully localized into Spanish -and many other languages-) and seems to be working fine along with Icedove. But I had to disable "iceowl-extension" and I would prefer to stick to Debian packages. Shouldn't be "iceowl-extension" package itself rebuilt completely so it can make use of embedded language support? :-?

Well... in fact that SMART value (load_cycle_count) is what you think: *** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. 193, C1, Load Cycle Count, Load/Unload Cycle Count (Fujitsu), Lower Count of load/unload cycles into head landing zone position.[14] The typical lifetime rating for laptop (2.5-in) hard drives is 300,000 to 600,000 load cycles.[15] Some laptop drives are programmed to unload the heads whenever there has not been any activity for about five seconds. [16] Many Linux installations write to the file system a few times a minute in the background.[17] As a result, there may be 100 or more load cycles per hour, and the load cycle rating may be exceeded in less than a year.[18] 4 04 Start/Stop Count A tally of spindle start/stop cycles. The spindle turns on, and hence the count is increased, both when the hard disk is turned on after having before been turned entirely off (disconnected from power source) and when the hard disk returns from having previously been put to sleep mode.[11] *** Good, bad...? Who knows. Nowadays every hard disk manufacturer applies different strategies within the hard disk firmware for power savings. Note that "start/stop count" parameter does not have a "best rating" value (nor lower/higher are better, is just an "informative" field). SMART test has to be interpreted in whole (there are values that are more important than others) but I would not care much if there is no other sign indicating that something wrong is goin to happen. > But it is bad that it loads the head all the time. - Though I do not > know if it worth (I think it does as my computer is on sure surface) - > to tune it so that it will be flying all the time, or it is unwise?

Squeeze. Weekly Build CD installer 2010-11-08 is endlessly seeking a non-free firmware on fd0.
Hello, list! Have tried to install Debian Squeeze (weekly builds 2010-11-08) on a laptop with Intel 2100 Wifi card. Card's firmware is packed into native debianic non-free tarball. As explained here: http://wiki.debian.org/ipw2200, it is enough to supply the tarball to the running installer on any removable media mentioned. But the installer first seek for fd0 floppy and seek forever, endlessly educating me about FAT16 file system, dangerous uppercase names and related troubles, as I have noticed at hidden F4 console. No single warning sign, progress bar or other useful info on a current active screen. As a countermeasure, I have searched my pockets, found USB floppy drive and wrote floppy diskette, plugged that into laptop but installer continue its tries for ghost fd0 and does not react on other removable media inserted in all sockets and holes. If you, please, help me to find a workaround to subdue that bad robot? Maybe it is possible to implant the firmware into installer ISO? And no, I cannot install using a netinstall image, because the installer does not support WPA and even if we will resolve firmware situation, the installation will not continue anyway. A bit of offtopic, sorry. Dear Debian Team, would you, please, to pay attention to the installer first? Let us find and pin up bugs, post wise comments, suggest features, analyze patches, flood up the mailing lists _after_ the system being installed. Isn't it an installer a thing that has to be polished first? In addition, it seems to be useful to inform a human side of the installation process what currently is going on in any situation, not success stories only. -- Sincerely Yours' Mark Goldshtein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Nouveau and Nvidia backlight brightness
When using the nouveau driver, there is a folder in /sys/class/backlight/nv_backlight/ which contains the max_brightness (1025) and brightness as expected. After digging around a bit, in the kernel source I found these lines of code: /* We do not have any information about which values are allowed, thus we used safe values */ #define MIN_LEVEL 0x158 (344 decimal) #define MAX_LEVEL 0x534 (1332 in decimal) In the file linux/drivers/video/nvidia/nv_backlight.c (picked up from apt-get source linux-2.6) Based on the filename and how close those numbers are to 1025, I would guess that this is the code determining my max brightness. More like hoping, than guessing really. Can anyone provide any insight about this, perhaps? Might hacking this file with a kernel recompile change the max_brightness?

That was bad. Now your package system in broken; it's database doesn't

Please post the error. There are at least 3 ways I can think of for removing
netatalk to fail and they are each fixed differently.
>How can I
>change the Aptitude database manually.
You don't want to do that. First of all, the aptitude database is fairly
limited, it basically just stores which packages are "automatically
installed". In Squeeze, it doesn't even keep that, since APT grew that
feature.
You also don't want to twiddle bits in the apt or dpkg databases, usually.
The vast majority of failed dpkg runs I've seen on this list are solvable by
editing the maintainer scripts {pre,post}{inst,rm} and then do a purge or
remove/install cycle. Fixing things this way makes sure human error doesn't
hopelessly corrupt your dpkg/apt/aptitude databases, which are only broken by
the existing dpkg/apt/aptitude in extremely rare cases. In fact, it is so
rare, I can't immediately recall it ever occurring.

I don't see how that would help.

Another interesting thing is with the same hardware on Ubuntu also works, so, I wonder if the problem is on the way that the kernel was compile for amd64 or something else. On the other hand, when I used the 2.6.32-27 (current kernel for Squeeze) the system is halt most of the time. So... ¿Someone is using the current kernel and drivers from Squeeze repository on a amd64 and have it working well?

Some packages do need an executable temp to run temporary scripts.
Usually there's no mayhem, bet errors are spawn. To solve this, follow
the method above or add to /etc/apt/apt.conf
DPkg::Pre-Invoke{"mount -o remount,exec /tmp"}
DPkg::Post-Invoke{"mount -o remount /tmp"}
That works flawlessly.

Looking at your numbers, it seems that most of the time is spent in userland and not the kernel. I take it that the "us" field represents time spent in userland and "sy" is kernel, but you probably can also add in "wa" wait and "hi", "si" to handle interrupts. "st" is, according to man top, stolen by other like hypervisor. In the first case, you are 96% in user and only 4% in the rest. In the second, top reports 60.7% user and 38.6% idle, and the rest sums to under 1%. So, making the kernel faster would really only help you by upto 4%. Ideally, the kernel should be zero (although that is clearly unrealistic). Some tasks like running a serial port or a heavily used network filter can cause more kernel activity. Usually, I find that the kernel is mostly out of the way. You could gain significantly by speeding up your useland process as that is where, quite rightly, most of you CPU is going. > top - 21:36:01 up 11 days, 20:14, 1 user, load average: 1.08, 1.02, > 1.01 > Tasks: 57 total, 1 running, 56 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie > Cpu(s): 95.9%us, 0.8%sy, 0.0%ni, 1.5%id, 0.2%wa, 1.3%hi, 0.3%si, 0.0%st > Mem: 155764k total, 149516k used, 6248k free, 8400k buffers > Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 111296k cached > PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEMTIME+ COMMAND > 12009 root 20 0 51868 15m 1612 S 89.1 10.0 952:08.72 motion > 12691 arnt 20 0 2320 1004 780 R 5.0 0.6 0:00.08 top > 1 root 20 0 2024 488 396 S 0.0 0.3 1:09.26 init > a...@bacdor:~$ > ..the cool breezy competition: > top - 21:49:26 up 11 days, 20:13, 1 user, load average: 0.36, 0.38, > 0.36 > Tasks: 60 total, 1 running, 59 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie > Cpu(s): 60.7%us, 0.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 38.6%id, 0.1%wa, 0.4%hi, 0.1%si, > 0.0%st > Mem: 92336k total,76504k used,15832k free, 4772k > buffers > Swap: 265032k total, 2696k used, 262336k free,47080k cached > > PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEMTIME+ COMMAND > 22145 root 20 0 49820 13m 1692 S 42.1 14.7 697:25.47 motion > 22966 root 20 0 2324 1036 808 R 1.9 1.1 0:00.04 top > 1 root 20 0 2028 236 208 S 0.0 0.3 0:35.17 init > cm46:~# -- Johan KULLSTAM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Where has my Windows partition gone?
I have had grub do this sortta thing before... Check your menu.list file and see if the entry for windows is still there, I have seen it disappear or somehow be eaten. /boot/grub/menu.list I don't have an example code in front of me but you can look it up and verify it, mostly you just need to make sure there is a label and that it points to the windows partition. Remeber drive and partition numbers start with 0 (second partition on first hard drive is hd(0,1) I would so check that out before running installation scripts.

John I don't know what may be available on other disks, but the PCLINUXOS Live disk, in the live section (i.e., without actually installing PCLos) will let you go to "More Applications>Configuration>Redo MBR" and then you should be able to get your Windows back. It also provides you with a nice boot screen, unlike Ubuntu's grub version. (I don't remember what Debian's looks like.) I have used this to get boot inputs for Debian and Ubuntu, as well as PCLos andthe Windows XP which it already recognized. If you have something odd, like an extra "ghost" version of some system showing up, it provides a text version of the partition information which you can modify if you need to. I am on a different computer right now, but I will send to your address a copy of this text as it exists on my laptop. Note that some lines are commented out, by me, as this was a "ghost" problem created by Ubuntu, and showed up on their grub menu also. --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.

Re: Where has my Windows partition gone?
Hmmm, I coulda swore my testing/squeeze install had one. That's the thing I hate, everything always moving around. Grub2 has to have a config file somewhere that's comparable to menu.list to fetch it from, what is the new config file and where is it?

Re: Where has my Windows partition gone?
To answer my own questions... Grub2 seems to store it's configurations in /boot/grub/grub.cfg But this file is not meant to be manually configured, it can be, but is discouraged and is read-only by default. Standard manual menu edits should be done in /etc/grub.d/40_custom This is a module system and you must run # update-grub to load the updated module. If you wanna see the auto probe results that should be in /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober If your system isn't auto-detecting you windows system check to see that os-prober is installed. If not, apt-get and run update-grub. Useful information here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 Apparently you can get hard disk and uuid infomation at the command line by running # blkid I haven't tested this yet but should be interesting...
