I'm still having this issue here.
So far, nobody has suggested anything than what I've already done.
Well, someone suggested looking in dmesg, but, of course, there's
absolutely nothing relevant there.

Oh, and something I've neglected to mention:
I have also aptitude remove purged it and reinstalled it, as well,
several times, and this also produces no change.

Hremoving this socket file has allowed me to successfully run
pcmanfm again.
I note there are similar socket files for other users, who can run it.
I can only assume there was something wrong with this particular file.
I also note that, after removing it, and successfully running pcmanfm,
I would expect a new socket, but there is none.
Nonetheless, I have successfully started and closed pcmanfm several
times, still without seeing a new socket appear.
For all practical purposes, it seems this is resolved at the moment.
I can't help but think there's a deeper, underlying issue somewhere
that might again rear its head.
But for now, it seems I can use pcmanfm again.
Thanks!

Currently I have a VPS on http://www.Contabo.com , with a lot more resources. 2gb ram, 4 CPU cores, and 200gb storage for only EU€9.99 (c. US$13.00) a month. (I was paying like US$60/mo at linode for 20gb storage, 1gb ram, 2 cores). They have a good selection of OS options. My server is, of course, running Wheezy, and I have e-mail set up with postfix, dovecot, and squirrelmail for a web interface (although I tend to use mutt, as I am to send this message, rather than the web interface). I feel better having my stuff hosted in Germany, too, where privacy is taken a little more seriously than in the US. (NSA can't just seize my server).

No space left on device (28) but device is NOT full!
Just since yesterday, I'm seeing this PHP error on the scuttle installation on a little server here I have. Scuttle is installed from the debian repos. The server is running Squeeze still (I know.. I should upgrade it, but I'll spend a day ironing out dovecot and postfix when I do, so haven't gotten around to it). Now, the device is far from full. df -h shows: FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda7 26G 9.7G 15G 40% / tmpfs 949M 0 949M 0% /lib/init/rw udev 944M 200K 944M 1% /dev tmpfs 949M 0 949M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda1 2.8G 85M 2.6G 4% /boot /dev/sda5 154G 52G 95G 36% /home Googling (or dukgoing, or ixquicking) just shows a lot of stuff about "duh, your disk is full", but it isn't. Somewhere, I think on LinuxQuestions.org, I'd found something about the aptitude package cache, yesterday when this happened, so I did aptitude autoclean and that seemed to resolve the problem. Today, however, it is not working. What could be causing this, and how may I resolve it? The machine is a 3.2ghz celeron with 1.5gb ram. You can see the storage parameters from df -h, of course. Any assistance or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Taz -- http://tazmandevil.info taz hungry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

In Java, there > would be policies to check. And so forth. I haven't made any user quotas. I checked /tmp, and there's almost nothing in there of any consequence (an empty log file). To look deeper, the full error was Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp/sess_9gct9d1b866iek1p3kmo5oe0f2, O_RDWR) failed: No space left on device (28) in /usr/share/scuttle/www/header.inc.php on line 8 line 8 of the file in question is a "session_start();" I looked at /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini to see where php is storing sessions. The relevant line, session.save_path = "/tmp" was commented out, so I do not know where it WAS storing them. I uncommented the line and restarted apache, however, it seems to have made no difference. Now, that scuttle installation has been on this server for about two years without ever having had such an issue. I can't think of anything that would have changed any permissions related to its sessions, or preventing it to write to /tmp, but since /tmp definitely isn't full, I suppose that seems like something to look at. The scuttle runs as user www-data, as far as I understand, which should have permissions to write to /tmp, no? I'm unclear as to what java policies have to do with this, but I know diddley about Java.

I'm not the dummy that filled up my / Before this, it was barely more than hafl full (well, df -h shows I'm only using 9.6gb of the 16gb there). Also, that hdd is old. I ran fedora core 4 on it.That's how old it is. Then I tried Ubuntu Dapper Duck on it, and some old PCLinuxOS, and eventually, when it was already about 3 years old, installed Lenny on it, my first Debian (and I'm still here!).

The machine in question, btw, now simply sits quietly in a corner of my office, serving up the scuttle, a little dokuwiki for my personal use, and a couple of other useful things, sometimes serves as a sandbox for trying stuff out before use on a production server. It's a trooper, and, until today, has never given me any real problems.

cron.daily logrotate beating up my server
I have a little server running here in my office, and logrotate kept running at c. 7am, and using up 100% CPU. I changed the line in /etc/crontab to run cron.daily scripts at 4:15am, instead of 7:whateveritwas am. 15 4 * * * Also, in cron.daily/logrotate I added nice -n 15 I made these changes two days ago, and still, yesterday and today, logrotate is running at 7:30ami-ish, and using up almost 100% of CPU cycles. The "server" is an old refurbed eMachines box, 3.2ghz single core celeron with 2gb ram (was my work box from 2007 to 2011), and logrotate is beating it up. How do I get logrotate, first, to run at a time when the server is not busy with other stuff (I'm actively doing stuff on the server at 7am, but not at 4am, which is why I had made that change). and/or limit its abuse of CPU cycles? Why is it seemingly not honouring the changes I made to /etc/crontab and cron.daily/logrotate?

Perhaps I misunderstand, but from reading man nice, my understanding is that -20 is the hightest priority, and 19 is the lowest, so I assume 15 was low priority. I've tried to renice the process in htop now that it's running again, and that doesn't seem to be working.

SASL auth failure dovecot/postfix
I have two servers, both running wheezy with dovecot/postfix for mail. They were both sending/receiving mail fine 24 hours ago. Now neither is. On one, I've done nothing to alter anything with either postfix or dovecot in the last 24 hours. On the other, I generated a new smtpd.key and smptd.crt for postfix, restarted postfix and dovecot...and I thought I'd done something wrong, until I found that the other server is also having the same problem. On both servers, I ran aptitude updates yesterday. I generally update them both weekly. They were both sending/receiving mail fine before that. They seem to both receive, but not send mail now. I can only assume something from aptitude updates broke my mail servers.

Again, I confirm, they can receive mail fine, but no account on either server can send mail, either with mutt or squirrelmail. In both cases, the same error: SASL authentication failure. In some cases, then mutt asks for the password for the smtp account. I provide that, and it continues to fail. I find this odd, since I have the passwords in my muttrc files, and, as mentioned above, everything was working fine yesterday, both sending and receiving. taz -- http://taz.liberame.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

What backend are you using for that authentication, the same > mySQL database? Are both servers using the same backend? Both servers are nearly identically configured (just different domains and users). One has been running Wheezy several months longer, but they're both on wheezy now, anyway. I essentially set them up, initially, when running squeeze, according to the instructions here: https://library.linode.com/email/postfix/dovecot-mysql-debian-6-squeeze although 1) they are not on linode (one is on contabo in germany, the other is here in my office), and 2), they were both updated to Wheezy since then (and configs for both dovecot and postfix had to be altered at that time, but that was months ago for both, and both were working until this morning). They both use mysql (well, mariadb) auth for both dovecot and postfix. I have confirmed that I can connect to the DB on either server with the mail admin account configured in postfix. Yet, I can not send mail. I'm stumped. They were working yesterday during the day. I ran aptitude update, then safe-upgrade later in the evening. Then today, they can not send mail. As far as I recall, postfix was not updated yesterday. Nor was mariadb, dovecot, or anything else I can imagine is significant here. Aside from mail, the servers have slightly different software installed. One received 1 update, the other 3. I do not believe they were the same at all (as in the 1 update one the first server was not the same as any of the 3 on the other). Still, they're having apparently identical problems now, and the only thing that has changed on either since they were working was running the aptitude updates. All the logs seem to be telling me is that SASL auth is failing, which I know. They do not tell me why or wherein lies the failure. taz :wq -- http://taz.liberame.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

There are few users on either server, and all I've tested are unable to
send mail.
In both servers, there is 1 mail DB for both dovecot and postfix, yes.

I thought that might be getting us somewhere, since mariadb is in

but that was on the 4th, and the server was working until today, the
11th.
Now tail term.log for the same server as above:

So the updates they received yesterday don't look relevant,
but they were both working until today.
I've tried using mutt here from my desktop, and also on each server
over
ssh, plus, they both have squirrelmail on the servers, and I've tried
that. In all cases, I am receiving mail normally and can log in an read
it, but can not send anything out.

Actually, I switched from Fedora to Debian desktop, and still had CentOS on my servers until about 2010 (dunno why, have no excuse, just I was using GoDaddy and that's what they had. Now I use Contabo.com and just rent a VPS, much better). It won't take too much to acclimate yourself, either. Just look around the file system and familiarize yourself with the different arrangement, learn to use aptitude, and you'll eventually be right at home. I'm sure you'll appreciate the much greater number of pkgs available without having to add 3rd party repos, the stability, etc. I think you'll eventually see the truth: that the Debian Way IS the Right Way! I'm still using Wheezy so can't comment on systemd, yet.

ntfs mnt fails after wheezy->jessie upgrade
I upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie finally, and now can't mount my second hdd that has a win7 installation on it, in two partitions, both ntfs, one with the actual windows system, another with just data, files, etc. When I boot the machine (to jessie), it looks like the partitions on that drive are being auto-mounted according to /etc/fstab UUID=BAE47010E46FCCE7 /media/win7 ntfs-3g exec,permissions,noauto 0 0 UUID=6B3B505F1763BB9B /media/winhome ntfs-3g exec,permissions,noauto 0 0 but I can not enter or access them. If I try in pcmanfm or thunar, or something, I just get an i/o error. When I do ls -la in /media, I see weird permissions. d? ? ?? ?? win7 d? ? ?? ?? winhome Until I killall /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g, in which case, permission to those directories looks normal again, but there's nothing mounted in them (of course). then if I try to mount them again mount /media/win7 mount /media/winhome nothing mounts, but /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g starts up again, the permissions go wonky agai, and I get general I/O error when trying to enter those directories. I'm going round in circles with this. I purged and reinstalled ntfs-3g, got msgs about missing firmware, installed firmware-realtek, which, it became clear, was the firmware in question, and nothing's changed... Still can't mount the drive or access the partitions on it. I should apologize for cross-posting as I have a thread on the debian user forums on precisely the same matter, but so far, no resolution, so I figured I'd come to the list. Because I'm completely stumped...no idea what to try next. ./t -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
