Trust 250 mouse - wheel problem
Hi, I'm using Debian 3.1/Xfree86 4.3.0.1 with a Trust 250sp mouse. The problem is that the wheel is not working, only the wheel. I don't know if this helps, but the mouse works if I configure it like PS/2, GlidePointPS/2, MouseManPlusPS/2, and doesn't work like ImPS/2, NetMousePS/2, NetScrollPS/2, ThinkingMousePS/2, ExplorerPS/2. I also tried with imwheel but nothing ... although it is not required on Xfree>=4, right? My XF86Config-4 is like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection It doesn't work over neither gnome nor kde.

Re: using scp to move files
I bet the issue is already solved, but I just read the thread and wanted to give my 2 cents ;-) I searched for the move option in scp not few moths ago and I read somewhere (googling around) that scp -u did this, **if you had ssh v2**. But if you still have v1 ... you'd better simulate it as described in this thread or better upgrade to ssh v2. Hope this helps anyone.

Re: using scp to move files
Well, I googled around a bit and found something: http://www.employees.org/~satch/ssh/faq/manpages/scp2_man.html you can see that this option is in 'scp2' (that uses ssh v2). The problem re-reading this is it's from ssh.com , not OpenSSH's package... and it seems (have no more time by now) it is not opensource... :-(( Have a look anyway to see if it suits you or anyone has added this to openssh recently..

Re: Database performance
First thing is I have no experience at all with SCSI, so I'll only talk about IDE. Hardware raid is 'easier' as you don't have to load any driver in booting process. Anyway, there are few pure IDE hardware raids (most need a driver to properly work) and are a bit more expensive than the others. With a 'not pure' hw raid, configuration will be less easier than using software raid. In the other hand, software raid is in general more stable and configurable as it is being proved by many thousand people as it is open source. Moreover, the lost of cpu caused by software raid is neglible with nowadays processors, at least whenenever the number of stripping hardrives is a power of 2 (in raid 5, would be power of 2 plus 1 drive for redundancy). This is obvious as in this case it only has to split/join a chunk of bytes, not cpu intensive at all. I have a HighPoint hardware raid (not a 'pure' hw raid), so I do prefer using software raid. I have tested both in raid 0 (stripping), and notice no difference in perfomance (cpu or memory use and in drive speed) at all between both. If you do IDE raid with for example 2 drives, hdparm will show you no increase in buffered-cache speed as it is limited by your data bus throughput, but almost double speed in buffered disk access. Another point is chunk size. As I use raid to speed accessing to programs and multimedia files, most operations are done to big data chunks, so it takes half the time than before. When chunks read/writen to the drive are small, stripping will improve but not that much. This is the point, you'll have to check if index processing will make short or big chunks accesses to the drive (I'm not sure about it). El dom, 04-04-2004 a las 03:48, Christopher L.

files contained by a package that is not installed
Hello! I would like to know what files a specific package contains. For an installed package this is easily achieved by dpkg -L But for a package that is not installed I have to go to http://packages.debian.org and "Search the contents of packages" for "all files in this package". The problem is that sometimes there is no web browser or net connection available and I just prefer working from the command line. apt-file almost fulfills my needs, but it does only the reverse thing, look up in which package a file is to be found. Do you know of any way to get the complete list of files contained in a package?

email-address embedded in homemade kernels
Hello! I was wondering if it is possible to embed my email address into homegrown kernels. My current kernel greets me with Linux version 2.2.19pre6 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) but I would much prefer something like Linux version 2.2.19pre6 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) It's not a big deal of course, but it would sure be neat. Thanks Diego Biurrun P.S.: Please CC me, I'm not currently subscribed to the list.

strange cron.daily message
Hello!
I'm getting this email with the subject

Re: didn't do it quite right...
I have not been following this thread, but it seems that nobody has mentioned the excellent debiantool make-kpkg yet.

Re: Building a kernel
Hi ! Well, you can do it like in other rpm-based distros, but there is a much more elegant way of doing it. Install the package kernel-package (as root run "apt-get install kernel-package") and then just do: 1. cd /usr/src/linux 2. make menuconfig 3. make-kpkg kernel-image 4. dpkg -i ../kernel-image- 5. reboot Works like a charm Diego Biurrun William Leese wrote: > > Hello all, > > i wish to build a kernel but i've read somewhere that things cant be done > quite the same way as with other (rpm-based) distros because it would confuse > apt-get. can someone fill me in on this or point me to some debian specific > documentation? > > William Leese

Re: Console question (2x)
Hello ! Have a look at the file /etc/inittab. There you should find a few lines like these: # /sbin/getty invocations for the runlevels. # # The "id" field MUST be the same as the last # characters of the device (after "tty"). # # Format: # ::: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty tty1 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty2 3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty3 4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty4 5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty5 6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty6 This defines how many gettys and thus consoles are get started in each runlevel. Just add something like 7:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty7 8:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty8 9:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty9 and enjoy having more consoles. I do not know what happens to X in this case, though. Maybe it will get started on the 10th console, maybe not. Can somebody answer this? I do not know what happens if you have more than 12 consoles. Probably you can still cycle through them with Alt--> and Alt-<-.

Re: About Debian documentation
Hi ! Why should it be preferable to track release status? You might accidentally upgrade your mission critical server to a new distribution when you just wished to install the newest security patches. A few details always break or have to be modified by hand. I think it is much safer to track release names and do such an upgrade on purpose.

Hi. The hardware is a PIV 2.8 ( is not "so" old :) ) I've made my homework ( http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/Large-Disk.html ) and AFAIK, all that "CHS" stuff is not applyable for modern hard drives and it seems that Linux just ignores it. Also, I modprobed "edd" linux module which gives me information about the drives ( /sys/firmware/edd ) and the CHS staff used for both is the exactly the same. By now, I've changed the CHS of the new disk using fdisk and I've made the partitions. No problems by the moment. I will see what happens when I reboot the machine tomorrow. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Request for Help] Recommender system for Debian packages

The purpose of the system is to evaluate which packages are mostly used, much like what popularity-contest does, but then go one step further and suggest packages which might possibly be of interest to you.

Therefore, I would like to humbly request your help in providing such information. Details on how to deploy and use the system can be found in http://debommender.sf.net/ it's really easy.

Weird bug (microphone / ALSA / PulseAudio related)
Hi, I have a weird issue and I'm unsure which package might be the correct one to report it. My laptop has dual-boot, currently with Windows 10 and Debian testing (buster) upgraded until yesterday. If I turn off the computer and boot into either operating system, everything works. If I boot into Windows at any point, everything works in Windows. Bug: if I boot into Linux after being in Windows (without turning off the computer first), the microphone will show unplugged. I can keep booting as many times as I want, the microphone will never show as plugged until I power the computer off first. Once I turn off my laptop (either from Windows or Linux), and go to Linux directly without passing through Windows, then it shows as plugged in and works.

Unexpected change in behavior for adduser
Hi everyone, I am not sure if this is a bug in Debian, expected behaviour or something else, so I decided to write here before opening a bug. Maybe someone can help me out and tell me if it is something I should report. I am using the official python docker image which builds out of Bullseye (btw, this happens in bookworm too). Until yesterday when I ran `adduser --system nonroot` it would populate `$HOME` with `/home/notroot/`. Today I rebuilt the image and it is set to `/nonexistent`. Was this intentional or is it a bug? I cannot find any reference to this change anywhere but maybe I have missed something. If it was intentional I have to say that it absolutely breaks python's ability to find the root for the current user. In case it helps someone else, I switched to useradd -m and that fixed it. Best, Diego

Yes. The problem comes when you have things in the cache (ie: a browser), there's no disk I/O and you want it to render faster.

you don't have assign right permissions to files and directories. execute this:
# chown -R ftp:ftp /path/to/dir
# find /path/to/dir -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
# find /path/to/dir -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
this would be enougth.
