I've been either trying to recover unmounted; or mounting readonly, yes.
Not much success in finding a recovery distro with ext4magic, maybe
there'll be other tools in them.

I believe the thousands of multiply-claimed blocks fsck complains
about may be responsible for the awkward results photorec is
producing: hundreds of 1KB text files, which are mostly bits of whole
files, some incremental. Either that of LVM's PEs, i'm no expert.

And i believe what caused this was abusing the filesystem. The vm
which mounted the partition was set do destroy on host shutdown. The
partition wasn't marked for checking by fsck on boot and all dmesg
does is produce warnings, nothing that would stop the boot process. I
didn't re/boot the host that often but i did a few times - more than
enough to corrupt the filesystem over and over again (although that
would mostly "just" affect the FAT and not the files themselves?).

So i guess i should be happy with whichever crums photorec produces.

Cheers,
Nuno

Not an expert, but, does the machine have more than one NIC? If so,
have you tried ping -i? Or other services in the unpingable machines?
What about the reverse way?

How about use a swapfile? Given the large RAM today, allocate dozens
gigabytes of swap partition that rarely used seems a waste. Besides, it
is easier to change the size of a swapfile than size of a swap
partition.

Testing: Warning messages from su within cron

2014-02-03 Thread Stephan Seitz


Hi!

I’m using Testing. For some time I’m getting warning messages from 
scripts started via cron, e.g.:


/etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest:
su: No module specific data is present
/etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
su: No module specific data is present
su: No module specific data is present
su: No module specific data is present

Any idea what this could be? Those are the original debian scripts.

Shade and sweet water!

Good idea. As long as the swap file is not sparse.

I've only seen that error once and it was related to pam (though it is
probably also related to other things).


I couldn't find anything in my notes, but I did turn up this (in a

Had a hard drive with many bad blocks on it, and run debian(Woody IIRC)
on it as small home NAT/Print server after try isolate the bad blocks to
another partition. Despite the unreliable disk, it only reboot itself
every several weeks, as for kernel panic, I don't remember it clearly.
I guess with disk error, any problems is possible.

Could there be some kind of hardware conflict? IRQ or DMA? How about
move the TV card to another slot?

Re: Strange networking behavior

2014-02-03 Thread Florian Götz

VM has one eth interface (one virtual GBit NIC).
I tried ssh to the unpingable device, but got no reaction.

The reverse way (ping from device to Debian VM) doesn´t work either.

It´s like the complete path between the two devices is blocked.

Tried *fallocate* to create swapfile then swapon report error, something
like:

swapon: /path2swapfile : swapon failed: Invalid argument

Only figured it out several cups of tea and google-fu later that it was
indeed a sparse problem. Strangely enough the partition is newly created,
formated as xfs, and has over 300G free space on it. dd is the solution.

fallocate is faster.

e.g.:-
xfs_fsr followed by
fallocate -l 1G /pathwswapfile

(don't take that as gospel, I rarely use xfs).


don't forget to chmod 600

You can automate the management of a swap file with swapspace :

Description : dynamic swap space manager
 Small, stable system add-on that continuously and automatically adapts 
available virtual memory space to your actual memory needs. Claims disk 
space for use as
 swap space when needed; frees it up for use by the filesystem when not 
needed.

Site : http://pqxx.org/development/swapspace

With 8 or even now 16GB of RAM, I reallly don't need swap. Most of the time.

Oh well. For this problem I suspect that the debian version is
irrelevant.

So the "other hosts" I assume are on a "remote" subnet (from the
debian box's point-of-view).

The SLES hosts: are they on the same subnet as the debian box?

Try traceroute - two runs from the "other hosts":
- one towards one of the SLES machines
- one towards the debian box

and check for differences in the output. Assuming that the SLES
machines are on the same subnet as the debian box, the route should be
the same. The interesting point is where they differ...

> So it isn´t a failure in ESX Network Configuration etc.

Possibly. If the debian box is on the same subnet (same vlan & ip
range), then yes: This would most likely exclude the esx network side
of things.  If the debian box is on a different subnet, then this is
still an open question.

> It takes about an hour before the hosts get back to state "pingable" on

a whole hour!? That is way too long for spanning tree to settle
down. So spanning tree/routing can probably be eliminated as suspects.

A hunch: Do you have a duplicate IP address on subnet where the debian
box lives?  These can be hairy to debug... (but 1 hour is a lot even
for this type of problem).

The only reliable way I have found is to take the suspect box down,
and see whether the IP address still responds to ARP requests
(obviously from the same local subnet). If it does, then you can use
the MAC address to track down the other box with that IP address.

Alternatively, try ping/arping it from neighbouring hosts (=same
subnet) and check they all get the same MAC address for the debian
box? (this is pretty much pot luck and probably depends on the switch
behaviour).

"Randomness" points towards cache of some sort... Somewhere.
Hopefully traceroute can point in the right direction.

getmail FAIL - lost email

2014-02-03 Thread Celejar

Hi,

I run getmail4 with a cli configuration to check and download mail from
a bunch of POP accounts, like so:

/usr/bin/getmail -d -r pop1 -r pop2 -r pop3 ...

The mail is delivered to an mbox (mboxrd) mailbox, in
usr/spool/mail/username

Every now and then, something goes wrong (I have no idea what), and the
mbox file ends up corrupted: the corruption pattern I have seen is a
bunch of null characters preceding the actual mails. [Deleting the
trailing nulls seems to uncorrupt the file.]

On a recent getmail run, for example, all of pop1 was downloaded and
delivered fine, the first 7 of 10 messages of pop2 were also, and I then
had several dozen of the following errors (i.e., on the following
several dozen messages, across a bunch of POP accounts):

Delivery error (mboxrd delivery 17212 error (127, mbox delivery process
failed (not an mboxrd file (/var/spool/mail/username msg  8/10 (6694
bytes), delivery error (mboxrd delivery 17212 error (127, mbox delivery
process failed (not an mboxrd file (/var/spool/mail/username

AFAICTL, all those mails were just lost (!)

Is there anything I can do to recover them? getmail is set to delete
messages on the server after successful retrieval, and it's apparently
doing so here, *even though the delivery is failing*!

This behavior is surely unacceptable. Is there a way to tell getmail to
wait to delete until successful delivery? How about a way to tell
getmail to abort if the mailbox is corrupt? What causes this corruption
(this is a laptop, no power failure or disk corruption AFAIK, etc.)?
How to prevent it? Is there a better MRA / MDA the list recommends? Has
anyone seen this sort of thing with either getmail or other MRAs / MDAs?

Sorry for the breathless rant, but losing, apparently permanently,
several dozen mails is just completely unacceptable.

As an alternative to udev, you may already have a persistent name.  When
I plug in a Logitech C170 webcam, /proc/asound/cards shows:
 0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
  HDA ATI SB at 0xfbdf4000 irq 16
 1 [HDMI   ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
  HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfbeec000 irq 44
 2 [C170   ]: USB-Audio - Webcam C170
  Webcam C170 at usb-:00:13.2-4, high speed

Then I can record with the webcam microphone by:
arecord -f S16_LE -D hw:C170 filename
So take a look at /proc/asound/cards .

Turns out that this works.

So according to the manual, multiple keys on one device are OK. 
But definitely room for improvement on this topic of matching.

It explains about matching multiple keys on one device?

In any case, one solution is enough and simpler is better.

Sorry to see your dual core is dying. I like running quad cores today, makes

Frankly there's still barely any justification to go above the 4 GiB limit. If 
you want lots of memory I'd still suggest saviing money and bumping up to 8 
GiB, but the reality is that even if you're gaming on Windows 4 GiB is still 
plenty.

No real major issues, no. I've never had problems with drivers (Even binary 
blobs.) in 64-bit, and most Linux distributions have very good multilib 
capability. Though personally I think Debian's multilib support is not as good 
as Archlinux's (Arch simply provides a multilib repository, Debian does 
something weird with forcing architectures in apt and dpkg. Frankly if you 
have a 64-bit machine it's a waste of your machine's potential staying on a 
32-bit operating system even with less than 4 GiB of RAM.

You will, especially on this mailing list, get a lot of people who act like 
running 64-bit if you don't have more than 4 GiB of RAM is some sort of 
apocalyptic disaster, but I've been running on sub-4 GiB 64-bit rigs with 64-
bit Linux since 2007 with absolutely zero issues. even when running 32-bit 
software on 64-bit Linux.

If you're interested in mac performace (At a little higher cost.) I'd

No issues I've ever seen running 32-bit stuff in WINE or VMs on a 64-bit 
processor, again, because of multilib support, chances are when you install 
WINE it'll be a 32-bit version. There are 64-bit versions of WINE but most 
people use 32-bit because most Windows software is still 32-bit.

/dev/* and ALSA.

2014-02-03 Thread peter

Now I have /dev/USBspeakers and /dev/USBheadset, and wonder whether 
ALSA can recognize /dev/USBspeakers rather than "SiS7012 AC'97 
Sound Controller" as the default device.

http://wiki.debian.org/ALSA mentions "indexes" and /dev/dsp.
No other /dev mentioned.  ALSA indexes predate udev; correct?

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Alsa-sound-6.html mentions /dev/snd/*.
No mention of making a specific /dev/snd/ the default.

Does anyone have a way of configuring a specific /dev as default?

Thanks again,   ... Peter E.

I "only" have 4 GiB and I used 64-bit architecture with less than 4 GiB
too. IMO using 64-bit is better than to use 32-bit.

I don't understand this!

AFAIK you can't use obscure individual names to set up a sound device
order. I'm missing this, since I'm using two Envy24 cards of the same
type as MIDI interfaces and Linux can't automatically restore MIDI
connections for those cards, because it's unable to distinguish the both
cards, even while always the same card gets IRQ 20 and the other always
IRQ 21, but for ALSA both cards have the same name.

This is how my Arch's alsa-base.conf looks like:

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf 
# ALSA module ordering
options snd slots=snd_hdspm,snd_ice1712,snd_ice1712

The HDSP is the default device hw:0, the both ICE1712 cards are hw:1 and
hw:2. If I unload the ICE1712 driver and connect USB audio devices those
device anyway will become hw:3, hw:4 etc..

A demonstration:

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ hdspmixer
Card 0: RME AIO S/N 0x579bcc at 0xfddf, irq 18
Card 1: TerraTec EWX24/96 at 0xbf00, irq 20
Card 2: TerraTec EWX24/96 at 0xbb00, irq 21
Card 3: USB Device 0x170b:0x11 at usb-:00:13.0-2, full speed
Card 4: KORG INC. nanoKONTROL at usb-:00:13.3-1, full speed

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ sudo modprobe -r snd_ice1712

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ hdspmixer
Card 0: RME AIO S/N 0x579bcc at 0xfddf, irq 18
Card 3: USB Device 0x170b:0x11 at usb-:00:13.0-2, full speed
Card 4: KORG INC. nanoKONTROL at usb-:00:13.3-1, full speed

Even if I unplug and reconnect an USB device it never will become hw:1
or hw:2.

IOW you need to use

options snd slots=snd_usb_audio

to make an USB device always hw:0. Using this method hw:0 will be
reserved for USB audio, even if no USB audio is connected to the
machine. The index method is obsolet.

I have personally seen a quite big STP setup take about 45 minutes to
become stable again, after a remote link had been shutdown.

This happend because the storm of BPDU packages overloaded the
root-bridge causing a re-election of a new root-bridge which triggered
another BPDU storm, overloading the new root-bridge, causing a
re-election of a new-new root-bridge which triggered ...

Reducing this ridiculously large network into more sensible chunks fixed

How are your ESXi connected to your network? Single links from their
network cards to one or more switches or do you use a trunk/etherchannel
to connect them? Do you use normal vSwitches or a Distributed vSwitch in
your ESX servers?

Do you use STP or any variant of it to create redundant failover
datapaths in your network?

Does the situation (not pingable from Debian VM) still happen, after
you shutdown the Debian VM and restart it? Or if you vmotion it to a
different ESX server?

Sven.

Your arguments may be true for Debian, because of their program that 
allows use of 32-bit software on a 64-bit system.
Other distros do not have that ability, and there are some good reasons 
not to use a 64-bit system on something
like PCLOS if that's the only Linux distro you have.  Some software is 
just not available for 64-bit systems, because

of the libraries.

IMO, this is a Debian users list, no other distros list, then the
arguments are at right point.

BTW i am using amd64 for more than 6-7 years. At start there was some
problems, due missing amd64 version of software or/and software, which
i was not able to compile on amd64 due FTBS. But i don't remember these

Proprietary, closed source code software could be available for 64-bit
architecture only.

"The build is 64-bit only!" - http://www.tracktion.com/linux/

I guess sometimes 32-bit and sometimes 64-bit architecture could cause
issues, but most software and it's dependencies likely can be compiled
for both architectures. Assumed a distro shouldn't provide multiarch,
than on a 64-bit system a 32-bit chroot is possible, but I guess it's
not possible to run a 64-bit chroot on 32-bit architecture.

MythTV from deb-multimedia setup?

2014-02-03 Thread Jon N

Hi,

I've built a new machine and installed 64bit Debian testing on it. I
also installed MythTV from the deb-multimedia repository. My old
computer has been used for MythTV (mostly recording/playback over the
air TV) for years, and I would like to have the new hardware take over
the job soon. But I ran into a difference between the 2 computers I'm
not sure about.

On the old computer I can run 'mythtv-setup' when logged in as myself,
not the 'mythtv' user. But on the new computer when I run it as
myself I get asked my country and language 1st, then on the next
screen, Database Configuration 1/2, I get the message "MythTV can not
connect to the Database. Please verify you database settings below."
As far as I can tell they are correct. I can not get past the next
page (2/2), it sends me back to the country and language selection
again.

I did read the README.Debian file for MythTV and tried running 'sudo
-u mythtv mythtv-setup, but get the message "mythtv-setup: cannot
connect to X server :0.0". To make matters perhaps a little more
troublesome there seems to be a little trouble with the new computer's
hostname so when I try the suggestion in README.Debian, 'xhost +local'
(as is, or substituting my hostname for 'local') i get a "...bad
hostname..." error message.

So, my main question is, other than just convenience how much
difference does it make to be able to run mythtv-setup as myself
rather that as user 'mythtv'? Does it not being able for it to access
the database mean that if I run the frontend as myself it also won't
be able to access the database?

Thanks,
Jon

Re: Any reason not to run amd64 these days?

2014-02-03 Thread Nate Bargmann

I have had a very good experience with Debian amd64 on a Lenovo ThinkPad
T410 for the past year.  The system simply runs cooler and more quiet
with than it did with x86.  I've also installed amd64 on a Lenovo
ThinkCentre desktop with similar results.

I have had no issues with VirtualBox, Firefox (although it was a bit
tricky to find the amd64 build) or Chrome Browser for amd64.  I am now
only running x86 where the hardware won't run amd64.

todo list software

At the risk of offending someone's tender sensibilities, can anyone

I did a search for todo list on Debian this morning, and a lot of what I

My mistake, don't use the idProduct. You simply need to match enough
values to uniquely identify the device. If that can be done with one
value then one value will do.

Trying to match two values for KERNEL will also fail.

Yes - that's what it says, but in my limited experience that's not the
case. So I usually try and match on the KERNEL or the SUBSYSTEMS, and
enough values about the devie to uniquely match it (that is usually
nodes "closest" to the actual device.

Glad it works for you. I was in a hurry last night so didn't dig through
my notes or search for a previous post to this list about creating a
rule for Kindles where I stepped through the process of creating a rule
(might have been more useful). Today is the first day in while where the
temperatures haven't been in the 35 -40C range, where I haven't had to
continually shutdown computers, and my brain if finally beginning to
function(?) again. :/

I'd wait for a suggestion from someone knowledgable on the subject (if
possible). I also don't remove a working kernel until I've tested it's
replacement (the original package might be in /var/cache/apt/archives).

I use Korganizer as part of Kontact, that and Activities are my main
reason for using KDE. You can use the Korganizer todos in either
Korganizer - or in Kontact (it incorporates Korganizer).

I've tried most of the alternatives and found them all lacking - they
work well but don't have the integration or configurability of Korganizer.

I don't run Sid. Moving from Etch to Wheezy did produce a day of
headaches - I'm still not entirely happy with akonadi, but I've yet to
find a better integrated task/scheduling/group managing/calendaring
tool. Kmail not so much (I still use Icedove).

Kind regards

What does:-
$ hostname
give you?

Does it match the value in /etc/hosts ?

Have you checked the mythtv config file/s for a hostname setting?

As Chris pointed out - this is the wrong list problems with packages
from an unofficial repository of Debian packages. If you have a problem
with something other than "which user should you run the installer at"
it's statistically likely the problem will be a result of an
incompatability between debian-multimedia, rather than a problem with
Debian. But you can ask - just don't expect a lot of people to know the
answers.

That said, running a gui app as root 'might' be the cause of your X
server error message.

I'd suggest asking on the Christian's debian-multimedia.org mailing list:-
http://www.deb-multimedia.org/lurker/splash/index.en.html

and/or the mythtv list:-
http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users/

After searching those lists for existing answers to that question and
reviewing your logs of course. :)

Mirrors were updating a couple of days ago and if you tried to use
one during the updating period you would get errors. Could be the problem.

Kind regards

Re: PXE install, without internet?

2014-02-03 Thread Anubhav Yadav

Sorry for revoking this thread so early.
I installed like say 10 PCs simultaneously using apt-cacher-ng and PXE
server. Afterwards when I started other PCs to install from network,
they are refusing to identify the PXE server.

I also tried replacing the tftp files again but no help.

When I try to restart the tftp-hp service, I don't get the Ok prompt.

root@server1:/home/neo1691# /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa restart
[] Restarting HPA's tftpd: in.tftpdroot@server1:/home/neo1691#


The above is exact output of the prompt.

Here's is my networking configuration:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 172.16.4.104
netmask 255.255.248.0
gateway 172.16.0.1

and here's is my tftp configuration: /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/srv/tftp"
TFTP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0:69"
TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure"

Any idea where should I start debugging?

In case it's an issue with insufficient free dhcp leases, on the box
with the dhcp server try:-
(for isc-dhcp-server) cat /var/lib/dhcpd.leases and compare that against
the number available in your settings

also:-
service dhcpd restart

Then try booting the PXE clients again.

Also make sure it's not a general network problem (it happens). i.e. try
booting a live CD (or the installed OS) from a client and pinging the
PXE server.

At the DHCP server (first)?

Please post:-
/etc/dhcpd.conf
/etc/default/dhcp3-server
