A4-tech 2-wheels and 5-buttons mouse
Hello, I have A4-tech mouse (USB/PS2) with 2 wheels and 5 buttons. Is it possible to use them all under X (xfree86 4.3.x)? I can configure with ImPS/2, that I have available 3 buttons and 2 wheels, but still I cannot use 2 buttons. Any hints? Debian unstable, kernel 2.4.23 (soon 2.6.x), xfree86 4.3.x.

Debian Sid, Xorg - mouse doesn't work
Hi, I have a problem after I apt-upgraded Debian Sid a couple of days ago. It seems that some xserver-xorg-* or hal* packages broke my mouse in X. The result is I have no working mouse in X - it displays cursor, that's it. I managed to operate the mouse with keyboard 'emulation', but it's very inconvenient. I got the latest today - still no change. I'm sure the mouse is OK - it works on other PCs. This is USB mouse; and it's configured both as evdev and /dev/mice (the reason for the double config is that the mouse is connected through a KVM, but it worked before; moreover I tried also 'standard' config with /dev/mice only - still doesn't work). When I switch to console as root and do # cat /dev/mice I receive lots of 'garbage' when I move the mouse - so the system sees it. I removed xserver-xorg-input-evdev temporarily as it messed my keyboard; but I still have problems with the mouse. May I get some help - what can I do? Or should I wait for some update which eventually fixes the problem? Cheers, Michal R. Hoffmann -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Gpm & libgpmg1 both at version 1.19.6-25. Upgraded this morning. Uhm. I thought so. But wasn't sure - could not google that bug out - maybe I just did not know what to look for. I thought it might be something which requires configuration changes. If you're running sid, you really should do two things: aptitude install apt-listbugs and watch this list closely before you upgrade. I try to upgrade every day, but never before skimming the list. I love all you poor saps running a timezone a few hours ahead of mine ;-) Saved me from a disastrous upgrade on more than one occaision. *turning red with shame* I use apt-listbugs. However I did the previous upgrade a couple of weeks ago and while upgrading this time I missed that bug in the list - at least I did not notice it. It's a home PC so it's just an inconvenience. I just wondered if it is a bug or my fault. OK, I'll wait. Thanks! Michal R. Hoffmann -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Virtualisation / Xen with home-compiled kernel on sid?
Recently I decided to play a bit with MS Windows 7RC on my PC. My main OS at home is Debian sid which I really like and it is a bit bothersome to reboot each time I want to check something on MSWin, I thought about using virtualisation. First I thought about Xen or KVM. I'm a total novice at these things, so it's difficult to decide. What I want is to preserve the system I use (Debian sid amd64), allow starting another one (in a window ?). Ideally I'd like to have Debian as a default system, possibility to dual-boot Windows (I installed MSWin on another hard drive) and use/run that installed MSWin from Debian. Hope it makes sense. Yesterday I tried to install Xen, but it didn't work (in the way I expected). I installed xen-tools + some more xen packages. Nothing happened. Then I installed xen hypervisor. Nothing again. Only after I also installed xen kernel / modules it added xen to grub and almost started (almost, as I use nvidia proprietary driver, so X did not start). When I tried to modify grub's menu.lst to add xen startig my (home-compiled) kernel it did not boot (I've got Panic on CPU0 / Could not set up DOM0 guest OS ) message. I googled out a number of a bit outdated howtos, some showing how to compile xen 3.0 on etch, some explaining how to install xen packages and use disk image to add another system. So couple of questions then: 1) Is Xen a way to go? 2) If so, how can I use the existing kernel? Do I need to compile xen too? 3) What to start with? Help, please! Kind regards, Michal -- Michal R.

And how can I mount the .iso file? NB, when I copy the .iso file to my local folder I can mount it without any problems. Kind regards, -- Michal R.

Debian sid and AMD/ATI Richland [Radeon HD 8670D]
Hi, I'd need some help with ATI GPU. Is it correct that for that processor (AMD A10 6700 - with integrated Radeon HD 8670D) I need flgrx non-free drivers to enjoy 3d support (ie to get Gnome 3 working - at the moment it goes to the fallback mode).

The current kernel at sid is 3.10 and fglrx-driver 13.4, acording with phoronix[1][2][3], the kernel will work, but for the driver it doesn't see to be prepare to the HD8670D but the 13.8 might work [4]. The fglrx-driver 13.8 is in experimental, or perhaps download from amd. Hope it helps! PS: i didn't search in the radeon open source to see if it work with hd8670D.

grub2 floppy seek - how to switch off?
Hi, I have a problem with grub2. Recently (after updating to wheezy) grub has been upgraded to grub2. All fine and well, but it started long floppy seek at the boot, which is sort of annoying, as it's a home PC, switched on every day. I tried looking for solution, but I could not find anything to solve the problem. The floppy seek is off in the BIOS, /etc/default/grub contains GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true I wonder if the problem is a file not mentioned in the GRUB documentation, (which seems to be manually created custom config, but I didn't create it): /etc/grub.d/41_custom #!/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.

From that moment it stopped working, saying that the kernel driver (vboxdrv) is not loaded and suggesting to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup This fails: -- Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules:done..

So it seems there is a problem in building kernel modules. I have the same problem with nvidia proprietary driver - fails building. I suspect the problem is I build the kernel with --append-to-version: make-kpkg --initrd --revision=.mrh.01 --append-to-version=.mrh.01 but this helps me keeping things tidy. Now I have no idea where is the problem, is it a known bug or I do something wrong (but it worked to me until recently). And I'm afraid I have no idea which package is the culprit. I use debian sid, kernel from http://www.kernel.org/ (2.6.32 or 2.6.38-rc1), have build and installed linux-image and linux-headers. Any ideas, please? -- Kind regards, Michal R.

Make sure you are this package installed in order to build kernel modules. Installed. As I wrote before, I build and installed both linux-image and linux-headers. I have home-build kernel. I suspect the problem is I build the kernel with --append-to-version: make-kpkg --initrd --revision=.mrh.01 --append-to-version=.mrh.01 but this helps me keeping things tidy. I'm not familiar with make-kpkg since the stock Debian kernels have served me well so far. Does it prepare all the linux-* .debs? You'll need linux- headers-* for building kernel modules. Yes, it builds: linux-image-2.6.38-rc1.mrh.01_.mrh.01_amd64.deb linux-headers-2.6.38-rc1.mrh.01_.mrh.01_amd64.deb and I have them installed. I tried reinstalling dkms, kernel-package, virtualbox, both linux image and headers - still nothing. I installed stock debian kernel - then it worked -ish - I mean both drivers have compiled, however X environment did not work (nvidia driver didn't work) and some other things I use are not available in the stock kernel.

The problem with extraversion and 2.6.37 is known, it's been reported here if I remember, look for a message starting with "kernel-package: 2.6.37" in the archives. But since it seems to affect only proprietary software I guess they'll have to adapt. Hmmm, that's interesting - I don't remember tinkering with extraversion directly - unless it's '-rc1' suffix which causes the trouble. I did a number of tests yesterday and I found that I cannot get 2.6.38-rc1 working at all, however I could finally get back 2.6.32 working again after I build it (with both --revision and --append-to-version). This required deleting /usr/src/linux soft link after restarting PC - it has been recreated automagically by 'something' pointing to 2.6.38-rc1 source. But after removing the link both /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup m-a a-i nvidia worked and build me the modules. Still I don't know what's wrong with 2.6.38-rc1. Perhaps it's '-rc1' fault - I'll wait for stable 2.6.38 and will report back :) Thanks all for the advices. -- Kind regards, Michal R.

But since it seems to affect only proprietary software I guess they'll have to adapt. Since I was the one to report that, I should correct some things I got wrong. The problem also exists in 2.6.36 - that's when it was introduced, and I had to revert two commits to fix it: 7b8ea53d7f1865cd8f05dfb8f706a4ff5a72abcf (makefile: not need to regenerate kernel.release file when make kernelrelease) 01ab17887f4cdcb8bb5a5d1bc3b160d186e6e99b (Makefile: "make kernelrelease" should show the correct full kernel version) I don't know if this is related to the OP's issues - I don't use nvidia drivers. I'm afraid it's a bit beyond my skills at the moment - I guess it's about getting source tree by svn and reverting the changes applied by getting previous version of a file? Thanks anyway - I hope it will start working for me at some point :) -- Kind regards, Michal R.

Re: Game for toddlers

Well, I let my children play it a while ago (ie 5 years ago, when the youngest was about 3-4) and there was quite a selection of puzzles, simple logic games, etc. However I wouldn't make a child to play if she/he doesn't want to. Actually I'm happy when they (my children) like playing with toys or outside (and leave PC to me ;-) ). When a bit older (7+) they enjoyed supertux and supertuxcart. Also some online games like 'club penguin', however this one requires an account, some reading / writing abilities. Kind regards, Michal -- Michal R.

RAID 1 problem after removing disk
Hi, I have an odd problem with my RAID 1 (/dev/md2) setup on Debian (sid). It used to be a 2 HDD configuration: /dev/sdc1, /dev/sdd1 Recently sdc1 started warning me with SMART errors, so I decided to replace it with a new drive (/dev/sde1). Perhaps foolishly, I used gnome-disk-utility (palimpsest) to do that. I selected the RAID array, added the new drive and it synchronised. While synchronising, the sdc drive failed. After finished syncing, the RAID status displayed that 2 drives are fully synchronised (sdd1, sde1), one failed (sdc1) and the array is degraded. I removed the failed disk from the array. Next day after I started my PC i was surprised - the RAID did not start, and was still marked as degraded. I did few checks and it seems that mdadm 'thinks' there should be 3 drives... I can run mdadm --assemble and it starts the array (but as degraded). How can I get rid of the removed drive? I tried mdadm /dev/md2 --remove failed mdadm /dev/md2 --remove detached they do nothing mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdc1 says it couldn't open /dev/sdc1 for write (well, it could not as the disk has died) === Result from mdadm --detail /dev/md2: Version : 0.90 Creation Time : Wed Jun 17 21:11:25 2009 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 966799616 (922.01 GiB 990.00 GB) Used Dev Size : 966799616 (922.01 GiB 990.00 GB) Raid Devices : 3 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 2 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Sun Aug 14 22:23:03 2011 State : clean, degraded Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 UUID : 40b55130:8f1de1e6:9d4deba6:47ca997f Events : 0.50097 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 000 removed 1 8 491 active sync /dev/sdd1 2 8 652 active sync /dev/sde1 === cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [multipath] [faulty] md2 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sdd1[1] sde1[2] 966799616 blocks [3/2] [_UU] md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1] 966799616 blocks [2/2] [UU] md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1] 497856 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices: === from /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf: # definitions of existing MD arrays ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=54f1d14e:91ed3696:c3213124:8831be97 ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=5d97a1e5:26d9d2ed:2a031ed3:45563b24 ARRAY /dev/md2 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=40b55130:8f1de1e6:9d4deba6:47ca997f How can I get rid of the removed drive from RAID and get it fixed?
