Gparted needs a working X window environment, for a minimum system gdisk is better choice.

Boot from live debian, fdisk, mkfs, and rsync are pretty straight forward, but the grub part is tricky, perhaps because I never really understand how grub works. I end up let the debian installer do it. 1) install a minimum wheezy 2) boot into live debian 3) copy the /etc/fstab and grub.cfg out, edit uuid if needed 4) rsync -av --delete OLD_Installation/ NEW_Installation/ 5) copy fstab and grub.cfg back 6) run update-grub, (it might not necessary, but seems harmless) -- Chen Wei -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Recovering data from an ext4 on LVM
Greetings, I had an ext4 partition accessible via samba share and one day that share became empty. I considered goofing up in Windows, but then found out that there were a lot of warnings in dmesg. The partition was not set to be fsck-ed and was made available via a Xen guest. I did start running fsck but after 2 days of 100% CPU usage (single core only on a quad-core) i quit. The data isn't quite mission critical, i do back that one up, but it's nonetheless rather important, at least some pieces. My main goal is to find out how that happened. I tried looking at the samba logs but they're quite confusing and crowded, and i couldn't pin-point any specific data that would point to a user deletion. I was hoping someone would point me to other logs i can skim. >From what i've been searching, ext4 on a virtual machine could do well with barriers off[1], and maybe ext3 would've been a better bet. I'm not sure if the cause could've been somewhere in the virtualization (the samba share was made available via a Xen PV guest). I don't think the disk is corrupted, only the file system and it's gazillion inodes (it's about 400GB of a 1TB drive) that fsck wants to clone. My second concern would be to recover the data. I tried r-studio,which did see all the neat partitions on LVM and RAID1 (another partition on this 1TB drive makes up half of a RAID1,over which is an LVM VG, the other VG being mostly used by the damaged partition). However, when i re-ran r-studio again, it can't find its bearings and i can no longer pinpoint the partition - it apparently doesn't support LVM yet[2]. It's a shame, it seemed to be the best candidate for the job. The LVM does seem to be my main problem. I also tried testdisk, but it eventually tells me the partition can't be recovered. Then i tried photorec, which does recover a whole bunch of files, but it's mostly pieces of files (i don't have 49K .cab files,so not all of the recovered files are accurate). I assume this has something to do with the underlying PEs and LEs of LVM. I do have another partition (on the same disk) where photorec has been dumping part of the data (i filtered out ISOs and such), but it's not big enough for a dd. My next bet would've been ext4magic but it's only available in testing (my host is stable), and i don't really want to risk that much of a drive stir (since host / and other / are in a partition in the same drive). I just might, if all else fails. There's also foremost and giis, but i haven't looked into these yet. Any other suggestions? I don't think there's a tool that'll even recover the directory structure and file names, that would be great, but files alone are a good start. The next step is considering a makeover on my drives :) (the outcome of which will largely depend on the success of this recovery). Can anyone tell me if RAID5 is slower to write than a single drive? This is a home machine, but if 5 is that slow i'd consider a bigger RAID1 instead. Any help, pointers, tips or any other technical feedback would be welcome.

Or maybe that was the upgrade to Etch. You hadn't specified "from squeeze to qheezy" and you were therefore implying that it was a general approach.

Any reason not to run amd64 these days?
I've been running 32bit Debian since release 0.93, before buzz was released. I've been through a few PCs over these 20 years, and now my latest one is dying on me (HP Dual core Pentium D, 4GB RAM). I'd like to take a step up and get a machine with more memory (12 or 16GB). I've done some searching and it seems these days there are no limitations with having access to all Debian packages, especially if one uses the multi-arch feature. Still, I'd like to ask on the list here. Are there any issues with switching to amd64? What about drivers? The new machine will likely be an off-the-shelf HP I7-4470 CPU machine with an NVIDIA GeForce card, somewhere between a GT635 and a GTX660. What about running 32 bit windows and apps in wine or VMWare? Regards, Rick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Kernel panics after wheezy upgrade (but blaming hardware)
I finally updated my 32bit PC to wheezy in October. Shortly after, I started getting kernel panics (blinking CapsLock/Scroll Lock for about 10 seconds, then it would re-boot itself). I ran memtest for 14 hours; no errors. It often happened while watching videos in iceweasel, especially when seeking with the slider. It also happened with totem and an audio program again when seeking. It also happen on 3 occasions right after I clicked SEND in icedove. Often it would reboot on its own overnight. I admit I thought it was all due to software for many weeks. Then I started getting fsck errors during the re-boot. Then after running OK for an hour or so it started re-mounting the hard drive read-only without rebooting. I was seeing journal errors (ext3 filesystem). Then I saw a BIOS message saying a hard drive failure was imminent. I had a new drive that I wasn't using, so I set it up with ext4 partitions and copied everything to it, fixed up grub, and booted the new drive. It went back to kernel panics! I stole a Gateway desktop from my kids (similar CPU and memory). I put my harddrives (the new one), memory (4x1GB), gigabit LAN card and video card (GeForce 7300LE) into it. No problems at all. When swapping the video card I discovered that the fan was no longer working. I thought maybe an overheating video card could be to blame but it's run for 2 days now without a kernel panic. That pretty much leaves the blame on the original machine's mother board and power supply. I replaced the power supply a few years ago (Antec Earthwatts 430W EA-430D). The machine is an HP Pavillion MutilMedia TV PC, so there's an Hauppage TV tuner card installed. I didn't try removing that. I don't use it but I still have remnants installed from when I played with ivtv some years ago. Any comments about all this? I kind welcome the excuse to buy a new PC with a better video card and more memory (and 64bit), but it would be nice to know what's wrong with the machine before I through it out.

Windows itself was on a NTFS partition sda2, more than 300GiB large, but I have resized it through Debian installer to 93GiB ( should be enough for a system which will almost never be used, even if the system's name is windows btw ). After simple resizing, it was still able to work. There were 2 other partitions, one for windows recovery with NTFS, and another one for HP tools with fat32. I have removed both of them. I now have a fat32 partition with EFI informations, mount point: /boot/efi, 1.86GiB large on sda3, which is bootable. I have lot of other partitions for Debian: /, /usr, /var, swap, /tmp and /home. Lot of GiB there. The last partition is a FAT32 that I intend to keep to share data between windows and debian, on sd5, 61GiB large ( very large too, but considering the HD's size... I did not cared a lot about that ). Have you checked that "/boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi" exists? (It might be "Bootmgfw.efi".) I'm not at work currently, but I'll take a look tomorrow. However, I have already looked at what was in /boot and am pretty sure that I have no file or directory with microsoft or windows in their name ( lowercase, uppercase and all kinds of mixes ). I'll check anew to be sure anyway. Have you tried to switch to "bootmgfw.efi" through your firmware? Which firmware? Running "efibootmgr" should display all the values that your firmware knows about and the order in which they classified.

PS: On Debian I already prefer to use ROXTerm and right now I installed it to my Arch Linux too and noticed that it does use the same syntax. E.g. $ xfce4-terminal --maximize -T "♪ jackd" -e "jackd -dalsa" $ roxterm --maximize -T "♪ jackd" -e "jackd -dalsa" I guess I'll use ROXTerm in the future, instead of xfce4-terminal for all Linux. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Regarding to VST I don't have knowledge, because I don't use VSTs, but IIRC I once wanted to test VSTs and there where issues with 64-bit architecture. But IIRC I wanted to use Windows VSTs on Linux. I guess using them with Reaper in wineasio should work, but you better ask at http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user . For Linux audio production I'm using 64-bit since years, just at the moment I've got a Debian 32-bit install on my machine too. I haven't done any audio production with 32-bit yet, but IMO the GUI performance on 64-bit architecture using linux-rt is better, than on 32-bit architecture. But in a "blind" test I perhaps couldn't notice the difference for the performance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Yes, it is used, and as I've already said, 'beeb' is like a "wrapper-script" to get-iplayer.

The output of "udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/... )"
follows.
What exactly is meant by the last sentence of the introductory paragraph?
Must the first match occur in the first stanza of the info? Does "one single
parent device" allow the direct parent only? Can the attributes belong to the
grandparent or great-grandparent?
This is one rule I've tried.
SUBSYSTEM=="sound", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0d8c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0008",
SYMLINK+="USBspeakers"
None of my rules have yielded a SYMLINK.
Thanks for any ideas, ... Peter E.

Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.

No. (if you mean in the udev rule)

There are a number of parent devices, don't try and match for more than
one value per parent device.

Yes.
I thought the man page was the best guide, but you may find this better:-

How about the following?:-
KERNEL=="controlC3", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0d8c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0008",
SYMLINK+="USBspeakers" GROUP=="sound"
or. same thing(?) without trying for two matches from the same parent,
and 'trying' to match particular card output:-
KERNEL=="controlC3", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0008", ATTRS{id}=="Device",
ATTRS{product}=="C-Media USB Audio Device ", SYMLINK+="USBspeakers"
GROUP=="sound"

It might help if you posted the full path of the udev rule in case that
(it's name and location) is a problem.

Ah, thank you, that is a nice start. I'll remove the test for system
byteorder because the data is always little-endian. It's the sytem I
was worred about and the '<' is the ticket.

That should be, um, *yes* (all the values in the udev rule must match for the action to occur) [me thinks] Must the match occur in the first stanza info? The one on the left hmmm, what's the matching order - left-to-right or right-to-left. Unicode so probably one of those toroidial vortex things. Goes one way in the Northern Hemisphere, and the other way? I got it! Same way as people go around ovals... which is? Boolean? http://s.mlkshk.com/r/54DT Kind regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
