How to slow down the fan?
Hi, everybody. About a month ago, I posted a mail here, asking for help on how to cool down the temperature on debian(when in windows, the temperature is fine). And later, I have tried a lot of methods, but none has produced any result.So, today, I went out to let a worker clear the dusts of my laptop and installed a new fan on the laptop. Now, the temperature is fine, but the fan keeps running. I guess this is because I installed the xorg-radeon-driver, maybe fglrx will slow down the fan? I am now in debian wheezy, and I find package fglrx is not in testing, but in squeeze. So, is it feasible to install the fglrx in squeeze? If is, the how to? Thx
Re: Re: Network Manager in Debian and modem with non-standard init strings
You mean that Empathy cannot recognize there is a network connection in place when you use wvdial? :-? That sounds to me like a very big limitation or even a bug... let me do a quick search. Yes, I think so too, however similar behaviour presents also the evolution - when started only with a connection established via pon, it starts in the off-line mode, promissing to go on-line as soon as network connection is set up. Ah... look: Empathy for WVDIAL users http://reliancewireless.wordpress.com/2010/03/27/empathy-for-wvdial-users/ Maybe that workaround also works for you :-) Well, unfortunately I have no use_conn checkbox in gconf-editor for empathy. All I have is: import_asked - checkbox accounts - submenu contacts - submenu conversation - submenu ui - sumbenu In no one of the listed submenu exists use_conn :-(. -- Regards, Wojtek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Aptitude is perfectly happy for a normal user to start the application and browse the package lists, even to select items for installation/removal etc. It's only when you press 'g' (I am of course talking about the NCurses UI here) that it says "You aren't root. Would you like to be now?" and then performs the actions. I suppose it depends on how you treat your users. I can certainly see this being a design decision. Do you really WANT users seeing what packages are installed, which ones are available and, perhaps, which ones are out of date? Or do you allow them to see whatever they like secure in the knowledge that only super users can do anything about it?

How to install broadcom BCM4312 on debian
Hello there, I tried to install Debian on my own a while ago and failed. I hope I can find some help here to finally install it. The problem is, I don't know how to install my network driver. Output of lscpi from UBUNTU is: 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) I checked the debian wiki page and I understand that I need to run the b43 driver. The thing is, I don't know where to get it from, so I can put it on a dvd and install it locally since I can't access the internet from the debian machine(don't have drivers for my network adapter so can't connect to the internet). Also I am not clear with the firmware part. It says that I need an active internet connection. Please if possible write me all the steps I need to follow in order to get my network driver up and running. Thanks! Apologizes for the chaotic email.

Hi John, If you can connect to the internet using the ethernet port, then you can use these steps: aptitude install wireless-tools aptitude install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer modprobe b43 iwconfig ifconfig wlan0 up Another thing that you can try is install the vendor driver: aptitude install module-assistant wireless-tools m-a a-i broadcom-sta modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcmsmac modprobe wl iwconfig I hope it helps.

Partition problems.
Good day people! I've been trying to fix this disk for a week now, but everythin I tried hasn't been working. I'm a linux starter however, so that doesn't help. The drive in question is a 120G Maxtor that was housed in a NAS. After a power outage the NAS reported the disk as empty. I took it out and assumed a hardware error. I have access to a harddisk hardware test suite but all those tests indicated that the disk is fine. The NAS runs an embedded linux (debian based) and has ext3 partitions so I started looking around for possible solutions. Using ddrescue an image was made, it reported 10 errors (45056B). I took a 1TB drive and installed that in my Ubuntu 32 bit machine as secondary disk with two partitions. One holding the image, one to hold the extracted image. When running e2fsck on that extracted image it reports a bad magic number in a superblock. I tried other superblocks and the last one worked (10240), however, the system ran out of memory trying to fix errors (4Gb system memory). I decided to run Ubuntu 64 bit live cd and hope that would solve the memory issue, but the issue remained. I then booted my main machine (12Gb memory) with Ubuntu live 64bit, but alas, out of memory again. At this point my hair is turning grey and I'm seeing linux commands in my sleep (good, I'm learning!). I decide to try some datacarving. Foremost and Photorec worked but the amount of usable files was pretty low and a lot didn't show up. At an end, I ran Testdisk and Parted. Both detect partitions but seem to think they're ext2. After they do their thing I still can't access it though (possibly I'm doing something wrong, this was late last night). Does anyone know how to fix the issue or what I could try next?Thanks for any advice you can dispense. :) J.

Newer GUI package management applications for KDE like Muon and probably some other packagekit based one only ask for root permission when they do need it. IMHO that is way better than to fire up the whole GUI based application with root permissions including essential GNOME or KDE based services.

I tried to load wheezy on my laptop, but the Debian installer asked for firmware from removable devices and gave floppies or a USB stick as alternatives. Well, I popped downstairs and asked my local computer consultant whether he could sell me a USB stick. He had a small one (yes, he said it was small) with only 4GB (which to me is vast) for only £15. I bought it, inserted it into my desktop which had Ubuntu on a second disk drive, mounted the drive, went to /lib/firmware and copied the firmware I wanted to the USB stick. I then removed the stick and stuck it into one of the USB slots on my laptop. Installed the wheezy DVD-R into the portable USB DVD-ROM drive, rebooted from the DVD-ROM drive and the Debian installer installed wheezy onto my laptop with no problems. It did not even ask for the required firmware---it must have detected it on the USB stick! Try wheezy and maybe your problem will disappear.

You mean how to control the laptop's fan? That should be automatically
done by the BIOS in join with the acpi capabilities of the computer.

Hum... you mean the integrated GPU gets too hot that makes the system fan
start running? I would first check what are the temperatures of the
available sensors, just in case, maybe is not the GPU driver (nor VGA)
the culprit ("lm-sensors" package and/or "acpi -V" command could help).

There is still the option of getting the package from AMD site and
compile yourself although it is possible that this neither works.
Perhaphs it is worth waiting for the package to be available in wheezy
again :-?

Find `update manager' in our menu system and click it to run updates. Other wise (Being in an X session is required) become root in a terminal and type `synaptic': Best bet if finding the menu item. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Network Connection issue
I recently installed a new D-Link DGE-530T 10/100/1000 Gigabit Desktop PCI Adapter card to connect to the internet. It was originally not recognized as there was not a driver available in debian. A new firmware-realtek update installed the driver but I had also installed another 'recognized' 3-com card, just to get the system to work. After I upgraded the driver , Debian did find the new card & set it up as eth1 while the 3-com card which worked was at eth0. As I am not well versed in this area of hardware, I just ignored the issue. I decided to try to get my system to use the new card today so I went into the box & removed the 3-com card, leaving only the D-Link card connected. Well, I was back where I started. Now my system will not connect to the network, & the router that supplies the connection will not see the card. I KNOW the card and connection are OK as the system boots into Windows7 pro and works fine. It does not work on Linux Mint Julia or Ubuntu either even though I have gone in & set the Eth0 connection to the correct intranet address & the MAC address of the card (which I got from the router interface, while Windows was booted). Now I want to know how to get Linux to reset the network configuration. The router issues the 192.168.1.4 address via DHCP for this card. If there are files I can edit to get it working &/or test the driver to see if it works. It has been years since I had to manually configure a ethernet adapter card, & I am trying to make it as simple as possible. I have Webmin installed along with the gnome tools for network mgmt. None of these seem to get the card to be seen by the kernel. Thanks! frosty

Have you installed the firmware-linux-nonfree package on your system? Since Squeeze, a number of known working network cards are not supported anymore out-of-the-box and, without checking it though, it seems a good track for your problem. Please send the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces file here, as well as the output of the following command: lspci | grep Ethernet Regards, Victor

I installed straight from MS Windows for somebody once. It involved downloading some files to the hard drive (in MS Windows), putting them in a certain place, and then running an exe file. Can't remember the exact details since it's been quite a while but AFAICR I just followed instructions in the Debian installation manual. Looking around, I see that http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s01.html.en#boot-win32 has instructions. It sounds like you need to download an installation image (iso file), which will contain the necessary files (setup.exe and others). I'm not sure how straightforward it is to get those files from the iso without writing it to a cd or usb stick, but somebody else might have suggestions on that. About the firmware, if you can obtain the necessary files, maybe you can try copying it to the same place on the the hard drive that you copy the Debian installation stuff to. I'm not sure what you mean by doing this with/without vmware. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

GDM Problems
Dear List - I updated Debian and was given the choice to pick gdm or gdm3. I picked gdm3. At this point, neither gdm or gdm3 work. I have switched to xfce, which I do not like. Is there any way either to make gdm3 operable or revert to gdm. Thanks.

Ethan Debian 6.0.1a squeeze(sid) gdm is the display manager, which is shared by both Gnome and Debian. What exactly do you want installed? Gnome, I assume. Go into Synaptic from XFCE, and mark the gnome metapackage, and then logout and in with the gnome session. Or... I am getting the wrong picture, and in this case I must require more info. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
